350 Down(1/2)
After one stick of incense, a red painted gold-painted food box sent by Li Yun'an to the Prime Minister's wife as fast as possible.
After the food box was opened, there was only a small plate of golden cake inside.
Nothing else.
"Master, what does this mean?" Mrs. Xiao, who was sitting on the Arhat's bed, was over fifty years old, with strands of silver threads between her hair combed into a round bun.
She looked at the plate of unfamiliar snacks, gently rubbed the string of Shen Zhenxiang beads with one hand, and frowned slightly.
Shoufu Xiao, who had changed into a dress in the Qing Dynasty uniform of the Taishi, sat next to him, as if he had not heard of it, staring at the plate of snacks for a long time, with a look of contemplation on his face.
Long before coming to the imperial tomb, he made an agreement with King Kang that Princess Kang would test Fengyang today and see how Fengyang was in good condition.
If Fengyang's phoenix body is healthy, Princess Kang will send you a plate of yam, jujube paste.
If Fengyang is inappropriate, Princess Kang will send a plate of other snacks.
Xiao Shoufu's right hand formed a fist and unconsciously knocked gently on the coffee table next to him.
The plate of snacks in front of me means that Fengyang is seriously ill and has not had much time.
The sky outside was completely dark, and night fell, and the night in the mountains and forests was particularly quiet.
At this moment, except for the couple, there were no one else in the room, and the servants had already been shut down.
"Master, what's wrong?" Mrs. Xiao asked again cautiously.
She is old and has been tired all day today, and she can't help feeling a little tired when she describes her.
Shoufu Xiao shook his head slowly, and continued to look at the plate of cake in the food box. He didn't know what he was thinking, but he had been out for a long time.
The kettle in the corner heard a slow dripping sound, and gently dripped into the bronze unicorn-patterned water tank, making the room particularly quiet.
After a while, Shoufu Xiao sighed quietly, and his turbid eyes were covered with blood due to fatigue, and he said, "Madam, I just think things are going too smoothly."
Everything developed as they expected, without any deviation, and it was really smooth.
Since the eldest prince returned from Yue Kingdom, they have never been so smooth, which made the servant Xiao unable to help but feel a little uneasy, and always wanted to think about the details carefully.
"Is it going well?" Mrs. Xiao stared at Shoufu Xiao straight, raised her hand and rubbed her sore eyebrows.
Although Shoufu Xiao’s tone was very calm, she could naturally hear the uneasiness hidden in her master’s tone after decades of marriage.
This matter is of great importance and must not be misleading.
Mrs. Xiao's eyes hopped suddenly, took two deep breaths, and quickly stabilized her emotions.
After just a few words from the couple, the atmosphere in the room became solemn, and even their breathing seemed a little depressed.
Shoufu Xiao’s eyebrows were twisted together, and he nodded first, and then shook his head again for a while, whispering: “If you want to say it’s going well, it’s not actually going well…”
As he said that, Shoufu Xiao suddenly stood up from the Arhat bed, walked back and forth slowly in the house with his hands behind his back, and carefully pondered what had happened in the past month in his mind.
While walking, he said to himself: "First, the emperor repeatedly stopped us from entering the palace to visit the eldest princess Fengyang. Later, Fengyang, who had been ignoring the government for a long time, suddenly went to court to ask the title of the crown prince for the eldest prince..."
"Even Dou Zixiang proposed a marriage between the two countries, Fengyang has never shown up. Updated @"
Apart from the last time he asked Chu Yi to be the crown prince and this time the imperial tomb sacrifice, Fengyang has never appeared in front of him during this period, and has not even raised any objection to the marriage between the two countries. He even let the emperor ask the eldest prince to go to Yue in person. This is really not like Fengyang's usual style.
Unless, Fengyang is powerless.
Mrs. Xiao took a sip of tea gracefully and her eyes flashed.
It was not until she put down the teacup that she said: "Princess Fengyang has a temper like Taizu, and she has always been the only one. It seems that she is really about to live. Master, what do you think?"
Shoufu Xiao stopped and nodded in agreement, and the candlelight was reflected in his eyes.
The evening breeze blew out of the window, and the candlelight was clearly extinguished, making his eyes look sinister and weird.
He suddenly turned around, facing the evening breeze that was blowing on his face, and looked up at the window. (This chapter is not finished!)

The full moon in the outer night sky seemed to remember something, and her eyes became deeper.
He snorted coldly: "The late emperor took great pains to suppress Fengyang back then, although he was still a move... but this day of life should not be wrong."
"Before his death, the late emperor specially instructed King Kang..."
Shoufu Xiao's words came to an abrupt end, and his lips were pursed tightly.
That's right, there's no mistake in this matter.
Shoufu Xiao withdrew his gaze and turned to Mrs. Xiao's eyes. A sure smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and then said, "Fengyang has not had much time, so she wants to make a prince before her deadline."
"Fengyang is anxious, and the emperor is anxious too. They are more anxious than us, so we can follow the flow step by step... It will come naturally."
His tone became more and more affirmative, and a sharp light burst out from his eyes, full of ambition.
Mrs. Xiao smiled relievedly and leaned on the big welcome pillow behind her.
The expression on Xiao Shoufu's face gradually became relaxed, and he walked back to the Luohan's bed and sat down. He patted his palms on the coffee table twice, and sighed with emotion: "I am still old after all, and I will be worried about gains and losses."
When he was young and middle-aged, he was brave and brave, and when he was cut off, he could make their Xiao family return to their current prominent position and have a position alongside the Yuan family.
Last night, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He thought about it repeatedly and thought about it repeatedly, and he almost didn't fall asleep all night.
As the person next to him, Mrs. Xiao naturally knew how difficult it was for her master.
She personally added tea to Shoufu Xiao, and delivered the teacup to him, comforting her softly: "Master, you made up your mind and then made a decision. For the future of the aristocratic family, this is what it should be."
“It’s always right to be cautious.”
To be disrespectful, the late emperor was too impulsive back then. In order to take Fengyang first, he never discussed with the aristocratic family, so he planned the whole thing alone, and in the end he was restrained by Fengyang.
If the late emperor had done things twenty-one years ago, why did they take another risk?
After taking two sips of tea, Xiao calmed down, and covered the red painted wooden food box again.
He had already made a decision in his heart: the arrow is on the string, and it is time to release the string.
"Play!"
Shoufu Xiao slapped his high fives twice, and Mrs. Xiao temporarily avoided behind the screen.
Soon, the curtain leading to the outside was pounded from outside, and a middle-aged man wearing a blue-colored face walked in quickly.
He is smart and has an ordinary face, and he has a kind of effort to lift heavy weights in his steps.
"Master." The middle-aged man respectfully bowed to Shoufu Xiao.
There were vague sounds of insects outside the window.
Shoufu Xiao flapped his sleeves lightly, gritted his teeth secretly, his heart tightened, but his face was calm and calm, and he ordered lightly: "Afu, you go back to Beijing immediately."
As he said that, he took out a bronze token in the shape of a unicorn from his sleeve and handed it over to the middle-aged man named Afu, with a meaningful look.
This small token is as heavy as a mountain rock at this time.
Afu raised his hands high and took the bronze token with great caution. He looked up at Shoufu Xiao in front of him, his eyes as sharp as a sword, and he responded concisely: "Yes, Master."
Afu took the token, bowed and bowed, then turned around and left resolutely.
The curtain was lifted up and fell down. Mrs. Xiao walked out from behind the screen, and only the couple were left in the house.
Looking at the shaking door curtain, a trace of coldness flashed in Xiao Shoufu's eyes, and more of it was determination.
Mrs. Xiao slowly picked up the beads in her hand, looked at the bright moon in the night sky outside the window, and felt a fishy smell lingering at the end of her nose.
"Master, I'm looking at it's going to rain tonight?" Mrs. Xiao frowned, looking extremely tired, and pursed the sigh that almost overflowed.
Everything depends on tomorrow!
"Don't worry." Shoufu Xiao said gracefully, the tight lines around his body were obviously looser, and a smile slowly rose from his lips, "The Imperial Heaven Supervision has passed a long time ago, these three days have been good weather!"
His tone was a little eager and impatient.
Outside the window, a bird shook. (This chapter is not finished!)

The wings flew past, and the wings accidentally brushed across the treetops, and the branches swayed gently in the night wind.
The night gradually became deeper. That night, the huge palace was very calm, but it was also very uneasy. The mountain wind was strong, and the sounds kept blowing all night, and many people stayed up all night. @美\/Shuge* First update~~
The entire palace was brightly lit, and the lights were lighted until dawn. The rising sun rose slowly among the mist, and another new day began.
As the Imperial Heaven has calculated, today is a sunny and good weather!
As soon as the sky showed white fish belly, the ministers came to the imperial tomb again in the breeze. Under the guidance of the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple, they stood at the right level inside and outside the Longen Gate.
As soon as the auspicious time comes, the solemn ritual music sounds, and the bright yellow canopy sways from afar.
A group of important ministers of the royal family surrounded the emperor and walked slowly along the red carpet on the ground, and everyone held their breath.
Under the guidance of Dianyi Officer, the emperor soon came outside Longen Hall, and then the eunuch of the Sili Supervisor took his hands to wash his hands. Then he entered the main hall and walked straight to the incense table.
The incense table in Longen Hall not only enshrines the tablets of Emperor Taizu, the late emperor and several queens, but also enshrines the tablets of the four generations of ancestors of the Chu family. After Taizu ascended the throne, he posthumously conferred the four generations of ancestors as emperors at the suggestion of civil officials.
Si Xiangguan knelt down and entered the incense. After the emperor took the incense, he knelt down on the cushion and respectfully bowed to the ancestor tablets on the incense table.
If the sacrifice of ordinary people reaches this stage, they will only cost paper money, but the royal high-sacrifice is much more complicated and grand.
Next, there are three gifts, and the officials who read the congratulations kneel down to read the congratulations.
