This sound of the Empress caused everyone to turn towards each other, their eyes changing from doubt to disbelief to surprise and then shock.
Oh my God, this person covered in dirt, unkempt, and limping is the current emperor and empress?
Concubine Jing hurriedly stepped forward to help her. Although she had many questions, she didn't ask any questions!
She must come to the sacrificial ceremony and fulfill her duties as the empress. This belief has always supported her here. Concubine Jing's support made her will collapse, and all her strength relied on Concubine Jing!
Concubine Jing looked worried and anxious, "Mother, how are you? Does it matter?"
She was so tired. She really wanted to sleep like this, but she couldn't. The queen was still waiting for her to save her. Her fingers pinched the palm of her hand tightly. The pain made her regain some consciousness. She couldn't lean on Concubine Jing, otherwise she would be greedy for this touch.
She had strength, so she let go of Concubine Jing and gave Concubine Jing a knowing smile to show her gratitude!
I saw her standing tall and cold, walking hard with a smile on her face, walking toward the man who looked down upon the world. Her smile was arrogant and even dazzling with an attractive poignancy!
Wherever she passed, people pointed and commented... She didn't care and kept walking hard.
Passing by Qingya, looking at Qingya with red eyes and worried face, she stopped and whispered to her: "Don't worry, I'm fine."
A complex and unclear gaze seemed to be staring at her closely, and in the corner of her eye was him, King Wen?
She raised her eyes and looked at the people she saw in the imperial study that day. They all looked at her in shock and confusion. She smiled bitterly and continued to walk towards the gorgeous and handsome man.
"The Emperor and the Empress came so late. Not to mention being disrespectful to our ancestors. The Emperor and the Empress are dressed in such a way that they have nothing to do with the mother of the country. It is simply an insult to our dynasty. It is really a shame!" The Taifu was the first to speak out, and said to the Emperor and the Empress.
His behavior is really hateful!
Until she walked in front of the man, she ignored the old man's accusation and glanced at the sacrificial altar. She bent down to salute, stood up on her own, and said calmly: "The sacrificial ceremony has not been held yet. I came in time, Your Majesty."
,Do you agree?"
"Sister, what's wrong? Why... why do you look like this?" Concubine Han wanted to step forward to help her. Xiaofeng sidestepped to avoid it, but Concubine Han threw her hands away, looking embarrassed.
"Thank you for your concern. I'm fine." He said indifferently.
"The ancestors love to be clean in person. It is disrespectful for the emperor to stay late, and it is even more unfilial to behave like this. It is better to return to the palace first!" There is deep doubt hidden under the cold eyes.
The late emperor was very kind to him, so he attached great importance to the sacrifice to him every year. Even if he didn't like the Beiyao Lingfeng, she was currently the queen of a country. She sacrificed to the emperor and the emperor and the queen traveled together. This was a ritual and a respect for the ancestors.
He would temporarily put aside any possible suspicions. He sent someone to notify Beiyao Lingfeng last night. Now that she appears in such a mess, what happened? What happened to her?
I remembered what she said when she declined the reward from the Queen Mother at the family banquet a few days ago: The Queen Mother is the elder and Fengling is the daughter-in-law. She should be filial. How can a daughter-in-law ask for a reward from her mother-in-law? If the Queen Mother really thinks that Fengling’s puzzle is solved well
, Fengling felt guilty. It was only because of the princess's generous help that Fengling was able to answer the question. In terms of reward, the Queen Mother should reward the princess. Fengling really didn't dare to take credit! Thinking of her happy and quiet look when she spoke, she felt irritated.
!
After that, I felt a sad smile in my heart. What does her life and death have to do with him?
She looked pale and said feebly: "Your Majesty is wrong. Our ancestors spent their whole lives in the army, galloping on the battlefield, licking the blood of swords on horseback and surviving. How can they care about people like this? I am here this time.
The first is to pray for the peace and prosperity of the dynasty and the people, and the second is to worship the ancestors for their bliss and peace of mind. The decorations are just external objects. The ancestors who have already enjoyed the bliss will not care about these mundane things. Your Majesty, everything has a heart, and the heart is the most important. I am the concubine.
I came with a sincere and pious heart." Did he drive her away because she embarrassed him with her appearance, or because she touched the face of the woman he loved most?
He hates her, and she doesn't have him in her heart. Why should she care about his words and let him do whatever he wants?
She knew very well that if she was absent today, the fate waiting for her would never be... better than now!
She never wanted the title of empress and empress. At the critical moment, this title might be able to exchange for freedom and the title of queen. So, she must hold on!
She didn't know that her words would shock a person who did not belong to the court but was present, and this person would become the most important and indispensable person in her life!
"I never knew that the Empress was so sharp-tongued?" A sneer appeared on the corner of her lips, but her eyes were as cold as ice.
Only then did he look at her carefully. Seeing her pale and calm look, he remembered her rosy complexion, calmness and intelligence at the Queen Mother's family banquet a few days ago!
We haven't seen each other for a few days, how come she has lost so much weight?
How could he care about her well-being again? Everything about her has nothing to do with him!
It is undeniable that she was so charming when she was talking about her in the sacrificial hall just now. She was like a rose in the morning breeze, eye-catching, even covering up her embarrassed appearance!
Her eyes darkened, the corners of her lips raised slightly, and her voice was quiet and weak, "Your Majesty, if we don't hold the sacrificial ceremony, our ancestors will really be blamed."
Nian Xiaofeng's words were sonorous and reasonable, and they immediately blocked the mouths of all the civil and military officials. They could not find any reason to attack her for the time being.
