Chapter 666 The Tricky Queen (37)

"What is the empress going to do about this matter?" Liu Jing looked at the dazed Jiang Muxue, and suddenly asked, a certain woman came back to herself urgently, lowered her head, and said softly, "It's all up to the emperor's orders."

"Why?" Liu Jing was puzzled.

This woman was in charge of this matter from the beginning to the end, but now she suddenly retreated, which made it difficult for Liu Jing to guess.

Jiang Muxue's thoughts are unknown to Liu Jing, but Liu Jing's thoughts are clear to Jiang Muxue. The sudden appearance of Misty Taoist has brought a huge threat to Liu Jing. Jiang Muxue can guarantee that at this time, the emperor will definitely be extremely afraid of her and Misty Taoist. Maybe he still thinks that she has colluded with Taoist Misty long ago, so that even the entire Xiao family will not be good.

Jiang Muxue came here to avenge Xiao Yuer's revenge, and she couldn't get her family involved if she didn't take revenge.

"I, I... Your Majesty, I've been fooled." Jiang Muxue said stupidly.

Liu Jing was stunned, and couldn't help asking the real identity of this misty Taoist again and again. Jiang Muxue swore again and again to tell the details of the day's events in detail, and after five times and three times, Liu Jing gave up for the time being.

Regarding the follow-up of this matter, he had already made up his mind, and ordered Jiang Muxue to cooperate with him to continue to honor and favor the Six Palaces.

This trick really drove Xia Zhenji into a hurry.

He repeatedly questioned his master why the unfeeling Gu had no effect at all.

Master Tongtian was also puzzled, and naturally couldn't answer Xia Zhenji's question.

"Your Majesty, just now there is new news from the House of Internal Affairs that the emperor will take the Empress to the Temple of Heaven to worship the heavens during the winter solstice this year. Now the House of Internal Affairs has started to prepare things for offering sacrifices to the heavens."

Ya Ge rushed in, a piece of news crushed Xia Zhenji, she slumped on the chair, even saying it was impossible.

In the past few days, a series of news almost knocked her out. First, the Kunning Palace was inexplicably allocated a sum of money for repairs, but the actual situation was that the Kunning Palace could not meet the repair standards at all.Later, she found out that the emperor wanted to repair Xiao Yu'er's palace in name, but actually wanted to build a hot spring palace for her in Kunning Palace.

What do you say that the queen's body is weak, and it is best to soak in hot springs in winter.

Originally, Kunning Palace was the best among the six palaces in terms of terrain and hardware, but now what kind of hot spring water is going to be built, after it is built, it will be like a fairyland?
Xia Zhenji hadn't finished digesting the news yet, and suddenly it was reported that Liu Jing had rewarded the crown prince Liu Ji with a large amount of gold, silver and jewels. The reason was that Liu Ji was very talented at such a young age.Xia Zhenji immediately gritted her teeth, what's wrong with a three-year-old child who can recite two poems and compose two sentences?He is also very talented, he is already a prince, and now he is so valued by Liu Jing, what will happen to her children in the future?
Thinking of this, Xia Zhenji's heart ached again. These days she was too busy fighting with Xiao Yu'er, and the pregnancy matter had long been forgotten. No matter what, Liu Ji already existed alive and was named the prince.And her son is still unknown.

But Liu Jing never came to her Yuxiu Palace for half a month, even if she wanted to conceive, she couldn't.

Today, it happened again that the emperor and empress would go up to the Temple of Heaven to offer sacrifices to heaven. This was unprecedented, and Xia Zhenji felt extremely threatened.

One must know that the emperor and the ministers have always been responsible for ascending the altar of heaven to offer sacrifices to heaven. When will women be allowed to appear?
At most, the queen is qualified to worship the earth, and that has to wait until an important day, or a very good time.

Again and again, Xia Zhenji couldn't stand it anymore, and directly gave orders to Master Tongtian, and decided not to repeat herself, and directly took Xiao Yu'er's life.Moreover, in order to embarrass Xiao Yuer and make her an eternal shame in Liu Jing's heart, she asked Master Tongtian to do something on the day of the winter solstice.

In front of everyone, the dignified queen suddenly went mad and tore her clothes, and scratched her body and face to pieces, how shocking it would be.

Xia Zhenji enjoyed it just thinking about it, and she didn't care about Master Tongtian's opinion at all.

"Master, I know what you want to say. I have no way out now, and the winter solstice is the only time we have a chance to make a move."

"But, Zhen'er, this matter is not trivial, do you want to discuss it with the Duke and Lord Hou?" Master Tongtian felt that their series of misses was not accidental, so Xiao Yu'er must have expert advice by his side, don't be afraid of anything else, I'm afraid that on the day of the winter solstice, stealing chickens won't cost you a lot of rice, and something went wrong.

"What else are you discussing? Father and elder brother agreed to send you to the palace in order to help me get rid of Xiao Yu'er and help me ascend to the next position as soon as possible. Master doesn't know what they mean, right?"

Xia Zhenji was aggressive, Master Tongtian had no choice but to follow her.

Although the two of them are called masters and apprentices, in fact Master Tongtian is just a counselor beside Xia Guogong.

At that time, Xia Guogong won a great victory in Nanjing and captured a large number of royal nobles in Nanjing. Master Tongtian was one of them. He was quietly accepted in terms of ability and status, and let him advise the Duke's government. This plan lasted for nearly 20 years.

After hearing these words, Jiang Muxue knew that Xia Zhenji had been burned out of proportion by the flames of jealousy, and couldn't help sighing that the game was about to end.

On the day of the winter solstice, the Wenhua Palace was surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside. The outermost is the Imperial Forest Army, which is responsible for protecting the safety of everyone, followed by a circle of monks and Taoist priests, all chanting words and praying scriptures silently.Then came the loyal courtiers and royal nobles, all standing solemnly with solemn expressions.

This is the previous pattern.

However, this year has changed a lot. Not only the emperor and empress are on the same stage, but all the concubines and concubines who are usually in the above seats are present.

This scene was very strange in the eyes of the ministers.

Later, when they explained it like this, it seemed unreasonable that only the queen and a woman appeared inexplicably. The emperor called most of the concubines in the harem to join the procession of offering sacrifices to heaven in order to silence the crowd.

However, the ministers who have long been accustomed to a bunch of men offering sacrifices to the heavens are very disapproving of this year's situation.

However, the emperor's mood has been unstable recently, and he often changes orders day and night. He has dealt with several cabinet ministers for many days in a row, so that they dare not talk anymore.

Those with unnatural expressions are not only these ministers, but also those concubines in the harem who are even more uneasy. Some of them are even ashamed of themselves. This is caused by the status of men and women in society. All dynasties and dynasties have been done by emperors, and there has never been a woman in any dynasty's sacrifice ceremony.

Among the concubines, only Xia Zhenji held her head high and stared blankly at Jiang Muxue who was standing side by side with Liu Jing, and sneered in her heart, that position would eventually belong to her.

When the time comes, the sacrifice to heaven begins, and the ceremony and music begin.

The surrounding monks and Taoist priests recited the scriptures loudly. The officials of the Ministry of Rites presiding over this sacrifice performed their duties and announced the procedure step by step, and the monarchs and ministers walked step by step according to the procedure.
