Empress please be more ruthless

Chapter 25

After taking a bath again, Yu'er brought a Kesi dress embroidered with patterns of the sun, moon and stars, divided into upper and lower garments. The upper body was dark black and the lower garment was bright yellow. Wearing a crown with twelve strings of beads hanging from it, and a big gui at the waist.Looking in the mirror, Song Qingtong himself was shocked. The dragon robe worn in court was not as imposing as this Dagon uniform. Presumably this is the emperor's most noble dress.

The clothes are too heavy and it is very inconvenient to move around. Song Qingtong lifted up the hem of the robe and walked out of the Xin'an government office slowly. There were two carriages parked outside the gate. The carriages were guarded by fifty cavalry. Martial law, every three steps is guarded by a soldier with a knife and halberd, and many ordinary people gather on both sides of the avenue to watch the excitement.

"The porridge shed is now serving porridge and steamed buns. If you don't go there, it will disappear." Citizen A said.

"Eat one less meal and you won't die of starvation. Visiting the emperor is like this once in a lifetime." Common People Yi said.

"Hey! The emperor has come out!" People C cried out.

Song Qingtong couldn't help smiling when the surrounding people cheered enthusiastically. When the carriage entered Xin'an City yesterday, she opened the curtain and saw the devastation after the flood receded. There were almost no intact houses. Although she was covered with dust, she didn't feel sad even so, because she could always see the smoke from the houses on the side of the road, which made people feel the endless vitality.

In the face of disasters, material assistance is second only, and a strong spiritual core is the source of infinite power. Naturally, Song Qingtong will not let go of this excellent opportunity. One of the purposes of this trip is to establish a positive image of the emperor who is diligent and caring for the people. .

Song Qingtong walked to the middle of the avenue seriously, waved to the crowd, waited for the surroundings to quiet down, and said in a loud voice: "I will sacrifice to the gods on this trip, pray for the disaster-stricken people, and ask the heavenly emperor to protect me. Now, the weather is getting colder, and the imperial court The cotton-padded clothes, quilts, medicines and food we raised have arrived. I believe you have seen the announcement. What I want to say is that the entire Northern Qin Dynasty is with you in the face of natural disasters, so we must not lose our fighting spirit. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we will always We must rebuild our homes in the shortest possible time!"

After finishing his short speech, Song Qingtong boarded the carriage amidst deafening cheers, and sat still, only to realize that the person sitting opposite him was Shui Jing.

Song Qingtong's heart jumped because she remembered Shui Jing's unexpected words at the banquet.

The carriage moved forward slowly, and there was the rustling of clothes on the opposite side. Song Qingtong raised his head and saw Shui Jing took out a wooden box from the sleeve of his Taoist robe and handed it to him. Song Qingtong took the box, and it was still on the box. The pattern of a lotus in clear water, a quick look at the water mirror, opened the lid of the box, and ten pills were neatly placed in the box.

"Hunyuan Dan, you have already practiced the second form." In a light tone.

Song Qingtong looked at Shui Jing in surprise, how did he know? "Yes, thank you Daoist." Although he was thanking him, Song Qingtong didn't feel that he deserved it at all. How much is seven or eight thousand catties of copper worth?Speaking of which, she was still a bit at a disadvantage.

How did Song Qingtong know that Shui Jing's pills are always hard to come by, and it is extremely difficult for martial arts practitioners to get one, but she gets ten at a time, which is to envy the dead.

Shui Jing looked at the satisfied smile on Song Qingtong's face, and the tiredness of the past few days was swept away.Hunyuan Pill is made by Shui Jing specially for Xuanyang Gong. During the day, Shui Jing guides local doctors in the epidemic area to make medicines to treat the plague. When he comes back at night, he has to refine the elixir overnight. It was refined last night. Today I just brought it, and the calculation is just right.

Shui Jingfeng stared at Song Qingtong and whispered, "You have changed."

Song Qingtong was startled, what did he find?
"Last night you should call someone to bed, no matter who you choose."

Song Qingtong couldn't help being taken aback.

"Although defilement is not allowed in offering sacrifices to the gods today, you should also consider your own body."

Only then did Song Qingtong realize that Shui Jing had misunderstood her, how could she be so great, but she was really embarrassed to tell Shui Jing about her physical condition, so she said vaguely, "Thank you Taoist for your concern, uh, where is A Guan? "Secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"What did you call me?"

Song Qingtong stared at Shui Jing with wide eyes, a little confusion in her clear eyes, her plump red lips were half opened and half closed, Shui Jing's heart beat faster, and an unknown blush appeared on her fair face.

"Call me Shui Jing."

"Oh." Song Qingtong responded, thinking to himself, so the misunderstanding between them has since been uncovered, and the previous alliance has been restored?This is the best way, my fetal poison is inseparable from his elixir, but I don't know what condition he offered this time, forget it, if he doesn't say it, she will pretend to be confused, after all, her money and things are not blown by the wind .

"There are not enough people, Ah Guan is going to help out with the porridge." The person opposite said suddenly.

"Ah? Oh." Cheng Guan is a good boy.

Song Qingtong felt that it was getting hotter and hotter in the carriage, maybe the clothes were too thick.Shui Jing didn't feel hot at all. At this moment, he put all his energy on Song Qingtong. He knew that he had a bad record. Did she feel disgusted with him for his hooligan behavior last time?He had to know clearly that it was very difficult for him to muster up the courage, and when the words came to his lips, someone outside the carriage said: "Your Majesty, the Temple of Heavenly Kings is here."

Shui Jing was so annoyed that she wanted to hit the wall, Song Qingtong let out a sigh of relief, and smiled slightly at Shui Jing, "Shui Jing, let's get out of the car." After speaking, he bent over and stood up, lifted the hem of his robe with one hand, and supported Yu Jing with the other. Son's arm got off the carriage.

There was a lot of people outside the carriage, and many people stopped at the foot of the mountain to watch. The guards were maintaining order, and everything was in order. It seemed that Leng Junxie had already made careful arrangements.

Dongfang Liang and other officials from the Ministry of Rites and those in charge of the sacrificial ceremony had already greeted him at the foot of the mountain. Wearing a vermilion official uniform, Dongfang Liang said with a smile on his face, "Your Majesty, oh? Mr. Wen Gui is here too. Hehe, the altar is ready. Please, Your Majesty." Move."

Song Qingtong nodded, and accompanied by Dongfang Liang, climbed the stone steps of the mountain road, followed by all the officials.The mountain is not high, and within 5 minutes, Song Qingtong and others climbed to the top of the mountain. The Tianwang Temple occupies a small area and is built under a towering ancient tree. The temple has obviously undergone simple repairs. A brand new glazed tile.
