Chapter 96: Ancestor Worship and Xiaobie Newlyweds
The prince nodded and said, "Yes, this pie needs to be divided. After tomorrow's discussion, the imperial study room will take out a charter and put it at the first court meeting next year to discuss. I'm here to ask you which department you want to fight for and who will be sent to fight for?"
Qin Lei knew that this was the chance to cultivate his foundation. He was about to say something thankful to Emperor Zhaowu's remarks at Shen Duting that day came to his mind. Qin Lei's heart arose and said softly to the prince: "I'm afraid the father and emperor had a plan for this matter. Is it better to follow the Sacred Heart?"
The prince said 'oh', thought for a while, and then smiled bitterly: "Second brother was inspired by you, and he remembered what to argue for the first time. It seems that he is going to be a response insect again this time."
Qin Lei looked at the prince and comforted softly: "Someone said that when you are at a disadvantage, it is better to be silent than to be silent. Second brother, be careful in words and actions and do not reveal his strengths. When waiting for the other party to make a mistake, he can get it without fighting."
The prince widened his eyes and had never seen Qin Lei look at Qin Lei before. Qin Lei was furious and had to wave his hand and wink, "Don't look at me, I know I can't do it. This method does not conform to his personality." The implication is self-evident.
The prince patted him on the thigh and cursed with a smile: "I'm cursing my second brother's 'embarrassing', right?" He knew that Qin Lei was angry that he didn't help him that day in the Golden Palace.
Qin Lei chuckled and said nothing. The prince said bitterly: "Fifth brother, do you know? Since the day my father ascended the Great Treasure, everyone, including my second brother, thought that the eldest brother was a natural candidate for the crown prince."
Qin Lei already knew that Concubine Ru was the main concubine when Zhaowu became the prince. The current queen was just a concubine at that time. I am afraid that Concubine Ru did not naturally ascend to the Queen's seat, and it was inseparable from her powerful mother's family.
The prince said with a look of remembrance: "Five years ago, the prince's seat hit the head of the unprepared second brother." A smile appeared involuntarily on the corner of his mouth. It seemed that although he was unhappy, he was still very proud of Zhaowu's choice. However, his smile quickly disappeared: "Since he became the prince, the boss and his grandfather have regarded me as a thorn in his eyes and a thorn in his flesh. He always wanted to beat me like the eighteen levels of hell."
His eyes were red and he held Qin Lei's right hand tightly, and his voice was cold as if from Jiuyou: "As long as you move closer to me and speak for me, you will either be sent to jail or die of a bad life. If the emperor's grandmother had mercy on me, I might still be a lonely man."
Qin Lei looked at the prince who was out of control and knew that things might not be as tragic as he said. That day he saw that at least one-quarter of the court officials were on the side of the prince. But there was no doubt that the prince was covered in dust by the boss and the Taiwei Mansion.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By the time he got off the bus, the prince had already restored his graceful and dignified appearance, and found his place with Qin Lei, waiting for the ancestor worship ceremony to begin.
All men over 14 years old who were in the first seven veins of the royal family were arranged in different lengths and arranged in the palace of the late emperor.
The first row is the older generation of the Emperor and Prince Jia, the second row is the crown prince and royal relatives of the same generation as the emperor. The third row is Qin Lei's generation. Qin Lei stood in the middle. He counted, and he was the seventeenth from the left and the twenty from the right.
This position is just right for the prince of Bangmao who doesn't understand four or six. He kowtows with others and chants with others, and then hums. After an hour, there was no mistake.
After worshiping the ancestors, the group passed through the Palace of the First Emperor, followed the Heavenly Way, and offered sacrifices one by one from the Holy Mausoleum of the Founding Emperor. The imperial tombs were extremely grand, each of which was as big as a hill, and it was very far apart, basically one by one at 89 miles. After walking through seventy or eighty mountains, it was no wonder that these nobles in heaven said that the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month was the most difficult day.
Fortunately, the Emperor of Qin had a long life, Emperor Wen had been in power for fifty-seven years, Emperor Wu had been in power for fifty-eight years, and the rest were not inferior, so after the founding of the country for 200 years, only eight emperors were buried here. A strange idea came to the bored Qin Lei's mind. If it lasted for a few generations, wouldn't he have to continue to spend the New Year with the old emperors underground after going to the grave?
They set out from the imperial city at the time of the middle of the year, entered the mountain at the time of the Yin, and did not come down to return to Beijing until the hour of the You.
"It took six hours." Qin Lei, who had a sore waist and back, lay on his seat. Huang Zhao carefully pinched his legs for him, while reminding him helplessly: "Your Highness, there is still another incident when you go back. If your clothes are wrinkled, it will be bad..."
Qin Lei buried his head in the quilt and moaned, "Don't worry, I'm going to sleep..."
However, he still couldn't sleep after all, and another uninvited guest came to him.
Qin Lei looked at the round-faced brother who was sitting opposite Xiao Yinyin, and smiled and said, "What instructions do you have for the third brother to find me?"
The third brother said the same thing: "Just come here to see you, why can't the third brother come here if it's okay?"
Qin Lei lamented in his heart: Why can't these birds be more happy when they are just like this?
The two of them talked nonsense for a while, and the third brother smiled and said, "Fifth brother, after you come back, our brothers have not yet gathered well. How about you give me a favor and let me invite you to a meal."
Qin Lei smiled and replied, "I should ask my brother to do this. Let's do this, see you on the 80,000-mile building on the first lunar month."
The third brother didn't insist. He just wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Qin Lei, and it didn't matter who invited anyone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the car returned to the palace, it was already the hour of the 12th, everyone forced themselves to invite the ancestors and clans to return to the palace for the New Year before they left.
Qin Lei was about to return to Changshui Pavilion, and an emperor's servant brought the emperor's oral instructions that he could go back to the East Palace. Before he could say goodbye to Yongfu, he excitedly took Huang Zhao back.
When Qin Lei pushed open the door, Ruolan, who had already fallen asleep, suddenly woke up. Qin Lei didn't hold the lights and rushed forward like a wolf.
Ruolan was about to scream when Qin Lei whispered: "Ruolan, it's me."
The girl's tense body suddenly softened, and with a low cry, Qin Lei pressed up...
The two of them were forced to separate for several days when they first tasted the taste. At this time, they met again after a small separation, and naturally they were like a fire, and the ecstasy taste was even better than before.
Not worthy of being told by outsiders.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The clouds were closed and the rain stopped. Ruolan, whose hair was scattered, lying in Qin Lei's arms slightly panting and murmured: "I can't see Your Highness these days. I look forward to you and think about it later. I'm afraid that Your Highness will not let me go. Although I know this is a decent idea, I still can't help it."
Qin Lei's fingers stroked Ruolan's smooth back, feeling the smoothness of milk. Listening to the girl's crying and complaining, he whispered: "Don't think about it, I'm not that kind of person. Ruolan, how about calling me 'Master' in the future?"
Ruolan nodded in Qin Lei's arms shyly and screamed sweetly: "Master..." His voice was fascinating, which made Qin Lei turn over and press it up again, and roared: "Little girl, let me teach you a lesson..."
