As soon as Song Quan and the others left, Lan Ting turned around and went to the room where Manmiao was, and comforted her, "I only have my dear Miao'er in my heart, and I will never look at another woman."
"Really? You have seen Miss Song Wu a lot." Manmiao sneered a few times, "Miss Song Wu is not afraid of the cold either. She wears such thin clothes, which shows off her curvy figure. She really should be thin.
It’s thin where it should be, and it’s fat where it should be.”
How could Lan Ting not know that she was jealous, so he hugged her up and said, "I just like your figure. I will never get tired of it no matter how many times I look at it."
He strode her to the room, carefully placed her on the bed, and then whispered, "Don't worry, they won't make it past March 3rd."
"Doing it so soon?" Manmiao was a little worried, "Have you tested Thunder in Dry Weather? Don't let anything go wrong if you use it then. Besides, has the Emperor agreed to sacrifice to the sky?"
Lan Ting laughed, "Why did you come here as an old man from the Song family? If the emperor doesn't want to come, Song Ying will persuade him to go."
Manmiao was shocked when she heard this, "Does he know that you want to kill the emperor in the Temple of Heaven?"
Lan Ting shook his head and explained patiently, "He must not know, how could I tell him such a confidential matter? I did not intervene in persuading the emperor to go to the Temple of Heaven. On the contrary, when someone proposed it, I objected.
It's just that this is an excellent opportunity for Song Ying. It is impossible for the emperor to go to worship heaven without bringing the queen with him. Now that Queen Xu is banned, who do you think wants to go with her the most?
The purpose of Song Quan in bringing Song Lin here is to tell me that if I turn a blind eye to Song Ying's matter, he is willing to compensate me with Song Lin."
"Tch!" Manmei snorted disdainfully, and went to the table to grab two snacks that weren't too sweet and ate them. "This man thinks too well. Do you think his daughters are all made of gold? One or two
Everyone is vying to get married?"
How could Lan Ting not understand what she meant, "Things made of gold are not as valuable as yours. You are the most important in my heart now. Even if you give me a gold man, I won't take it!"
Manmiao tapped his forehead with her finger, "You are stupid, why don't you? A man made of gold can earn a lot of military resources, why can't he get along with money?"
Lan Ting smiled and nodded, "I have to make some money to support you mother and son."
The days of raising a baby at home passed very slowly, and Manmei felt that it seemed like a long time had passed. But seeing Lan Ting running around so busy, she complained that there was not enough time, and it felt like not long had passed.
Judging from her homemade calendar, she has passed three months. She no longer has morning sickness, her appetite has improved, and she can eat four or five meals a day. She has not gained much weight, but her body has become much leaner.
That day, Lan Ting smelled of alcohol when he came back. He was very sober, but his eyes were filled with excitement. When he saw Manmei, he picked her up and spun her around a few times.
Manmiao was so frightened that she stood on the ground holding her stomach to prevent him from getting closer.
But he knelt down, put his ear against her graceful belly, hugged her and said, "Son, daddy will get his wish tomorrow."
Manmiao originally planned to pick him up by his ears, but after hearing this, she touched his hair and asked, "Go to the Temple of Heaven tomorrow?"
"Well, I won't take you there. It's too dangerous there." Lan Ting said without raising his head, "It's useless to beg me, and I won't take you there even if you scold me."
"If I don't go, you can see the Temple of Heaven from Miaoxiang Mountain. I can go there to see the situation." Manmiao knew that she couldn't go, so she started looking at the map to choose a place very early, and finally found a place that was safe and visible.
.
It's a pity that there are no telescopes in this world, otherwise you can really see everything clearly.
Lan Ting stood up, walked to the study, looked at the map, and thought seriously for a while, "I'll find some guards to take you there. Tomorrow is the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, and I guess not many people will pay attention to your movements. If you want to go
If so, it's still possible to do it more covertly.
Many dignitaries are going to the heaven-sacrifice ceremony, and I'm afraid someone will cause trouble in the capital. I'm not worried about you staying in the house, so I might as well let you go to Miaoxiang Mountain."
He agreed simply, which surprised Manmei, and felt that what he said made sense. If he was in the house, Lan Ting would be very passive if he was kidnapped.
"Where are the ladies of the Huangfu family?" Manmei asked worriedly, "The ladies can go to Miaoxiang Mountain with me, but Huangfu Princess and the others have to go to the Temple of Heaven. Will they be okay?"
Lan Ting nodded, "Concubine and the others must go, but I have already given instructions. Concubine and the others will not place too many drought thunders where they stand. The location is calculated well and will not spread too far. Concubine and the others
The position where I stand is very safe. After all, it is impossible for me to kill all the courtiers."
"You also have to be careful. What if the emperor wants you to go to the Temple of Heaven with him?" Manmiao took Lan Ting's hand and began to worry, "Who knows what the emperor will ask for?"
"No, only the emperor can go up to the Temple of Heaven. Unless he wants to abdicate the throne to me, it is absolutely impossible for me to stand on the Temple of Heaven with him. Do you think he will be willing to abdicate to me?"
Lan Ting was very sure about this and patted her hand to comfort her.
On the day of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, Manmei got up early to prepare to go to Miaoxiang Mountain.
Lan Ting got up earlier than she did, but it was not so easy to prepare the emperor's procession for worshiping the heavens. The departure and arrival times were fixed and could not be changed. Officials got up early, but they may not be able to go early.
arrive.
Miaoxiang Mountain is very high. Lan Ting prepared the soft sedan chair early. It was already dawn when she arrived. When she got on the soft sedan chair and climbed to the top of the mountain, the heaven-sacrifice ceremony was about to begin.
No one arranged a guard on Miaoxiang Mountain. By the time the ambush people on the mountain rushed down, the people on the Temple of Heaven had long since disappeared.
Manmei asked people to put the soft sedan on the ground and sit on the soft sedan to use it as a stool. Looking down from a high position, you can only see some bright yellow colors in the distance that are very conspicuous. Following the thin yellow line, you can know the emperor's procession
Where have you gone?
Lan Ting should also be on that line. I just hope nothing happens to him and nothing happens to Princess Huangfu and the others.
From a graceful angle, the team was moving very slowly, almost not moving. After waiting patiently for a long time, I saw them reaching the Temple of Heaven and slowly turning into a yellow circle.
A guard with good eyesight stood beside Manmei, constantly telling her various news.
When he saw the procession stopped, he reported to Man Miao Zhen, "The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven has begun. It will take about a cup of tea before the emperor will go up to the rooftop and begin to offer sacrifices to heaven. Now you can see that the procession has stopped. It is estimated that the emperor is a
People are going to the Temple of Heaven."
Manmei nodded, her hands unconsciously grasped the armrests of the sedan, and she waited nervously.
