And maybe he felt that the woman holding him really loved him. Princess Shouyang was held in the arms of Huang Qiong's mother, who was a stranger to her, but she was extremely well-behaved. This little princess has always been very repulsive to strangers, even if her brother wants to hug her, she is reluctant to do so.
Just Tiantian nestled in Huang Qiong's mother's arms, as if they were born mother and daughter. Even when he left the mourning hall, he didn't know that the scene in front of him meant that he would say goodbye to his biological mother forever, leaving a big smile to his father, brothers and sisters behind him.
The performance of this little princess, who is somewhat introverted and never likes to get close to others, shocked the jaws of the people behind her. Almost no one knew why the little princess was so affectionate to the woman who was holding her, who looked extremely cold from the inside out. Huang Qiong was even more stunned, looking at the scene of motherly love and daughterly love in front of her.
In fact, Huang Qiong didn't know that since the birth of Princess Shouyang, the palace had been lingering on the sick bed, and she no longer had the energy to take care of her. Although the emperor loves his wife very much, he is the king of a country after all. He is too busy appeasing his sons who are like black-eyed chickens, so how much free time does he have to accompany his wife?
My little sister spends far less time with her parents than with her wet nurse. But is there a child in this world who has no attachment to his parents? It's just that Zhonggong, who is getting more and more seriously ill, even if he wants to give love to this woman, he is no longer able to support her due to physical reasons.
Although those wet nurses are very dedicated, they are not the biological mothers of the children after all, and cannot give them the same love as a real mother. When the mother looked at Princess Shouyang, that kind of kindness that Princess Shouyang had never experienced captured the heart of this naive little girl in a short period of time.
So not only did he not cry, he even snuggled into Huang Qiong's mother's arms quite obediently, looking at the woman holding him in her arms with her big, beautiful eyes. After her mother took away her little sister, Huang Qiong saw the emperor, with a look of relief in her eyes.
This look of relief was just like the words he said to his mother when he saw her in the mourning hall: "I knew you would come." The appearance of his mother seemed to give the king of a country a kind of reassurance in this chaotic moment. Only this time, I had this reassurance because I was pregnant and could entrust someone to take care of me.
Even Princess Jincheng, who was a little worried about her younger sister, wanted to catch up, but was stopped by the emperor: "Don't worry, Shouyang is with her at this time, there is nothing better. With her care, Shouyang will definitely grow up well and safely. You all don’t understand her."
After the emperor's words fell, the prince and king of Shu present were stunned. Rao, all of these people can be called human sperm, and like Huang Qiong just now, none of them understood the meaning of the emperor's words. Especially Princess Jincheng, the eldest daughter of the emperor, looked at her emperor father with confusion.
And looking at all the children and concubines, they all looked at me without knowing why. The emperor, who was obviously unwilling to explain, turned around and looked at the queen's coffin without saying a word. The emperor didn't want to explain, and everyone present didn't dare to ask. They could only look at the king of a country with questions.
But not everyone in this hall was in the same state of confusion at this time. At least one of the concubines in the palace did not dare to make any mistake when facing Huang Qiong's mother's cold eyes, and did not even dare to breathe loudly.
When Huang Qiong's mother left, this person looked at the back of Huang Qiong's mother, but his eyes were half jealous and half resentful. A former queen who had been deposed for nearly twenty years actually still has such a strong aura. Even if he just stood there without saying a word, the kings and ministers would not even dare to fart.
Even the prince, who hated him deeply, was so upset by his simple words that he didn't dare to speak out. Princess Jincheng, who originally wanted to be polite to her, watched helplessly as her little sister was taken away, but she didn't even dare to say a word "no". This kind of majesty is probably something she will never learn in her lifetime. Considering the person he is, it would be really strange not to be jealous.
Huang Qiong saw this man's gaze towards his mother's back but made no comment. How could this woman who was almost going crazy wanting to be the queen be a match for her parents? Not to mention one of her, ten or eight of them put together would probably be much worse.
Although he didn't have much contact with this woman, Huang Qiong also gave this woman a simple evaluation. Just a stupid and ambitious woman. It is estimated that if she gets into trouble at this time, not even the emperor will be able to spare her, let alone her mother.
Huang Qiong didn't notice the jealous look on that woman's back when she looked at her mother's back. King Yong, who was beside Huang Qiong, took advantage of the emperor's attention being focused on the queen's coffin, and pointed at a group of concubines over there who had been beaten by Huang Qiong's mother before. The cold on his body was so cold that he didn't even dare to lift his head, and then Pointing to the outside of the hall, he silently gave Huang Qiong a thumbs up.
Seeing King Yong's behavior, Huang Qiong just pointed at the emperor over there with his chin and shook his head slightly. As for King Yong, there was the prince who finally felt that the invisible pressure was gone after Huang Qiong's mother left the hall. If it weren't for the support from Taiji behind him, he almost collapsed to the ground.
This is not because the prince is too cowardly, but because there are really few people who can hold on for too long under the cold and majestic gaze of Huang Qiong's mother. Especially Huang Qiong's mother exudes the kind of majesty without anger, which will bring great psychological pressure to those targeted by her.
Unfortunately for the prince, among the kings, princesses, and a large group of concubines and ministers present, Huang Qiong's mother stared at him like this for the longest time. It is already very good for this prince to persist for such a long time. If it were other princes, they might not be able to last the same amount of time.
After the mother took away her little sister, and during the rest of the period of rest after the death of Queen Daxing, the mother would bring Princess Shouyang to kowtow to her own mother at the same time every day. After Princess Shouyang finished kowtowing, her mother would personally light a stick of incense for Queen Daxing, stand quietly in front of her soul, and leave with Princess Shouyang after the incense burned out. During this time, not a word was said.
Huang Qiong, the emperor, would rush over every day when Huang Qiong's mother appeared in the mourning hall. Although there was no communication between the two people, they stood side by side in front of Queen Daxing's coffin. It felt to almost everyone present that these two were a real couple.
Even the prince and the king of Shu were very dissatisfied with this. But every time they saw the look in Huang Qiong's mother's eyes, the two of them closed their mouths in unison. This somewhat strange practice did not stop until the period of mourning expired and Queen Dahang's Zi Palace was moved from the main hall of the queen's palace to the funeral palace outside the city.
While following the soul-moving team, escorting Queen Zi Gong of Dahang to the funeral palace. When the funeral procession left the palace, Huang Qiong accidentally looked back and found her mother holding Princess Shouyang, standing on the palace gate with the emperor, watching the funeral procession slowly move towards the imperial mausoleum. go ahead.
Seeing this scene, Huang Qiong became even more confused. He knew that his mother's unusual and unspeakable actions were definitely not another demonstration against the deceased queen. As a mother, she would never do such a despicable thing. Besides, given the mother's transcendent status, there is no need for this at all.
But Huang Qiong had no clue as to what her mother intended by doing this. What Huang Qiong couldn't understand even more was his own emperor. He couldn't figure out what kind of meaning he, the emperor, had behind his actions. Huang Qiong could only think so about a ball of dough that was constantly being cut and messed up.
The random thoughts in Huang Qiong's mind came to a complete stop until the funeral procession arrived at the Huangling District in Gongyi, more than a hundred miles east of Luoyang. Although the location of the imperial mausoleum was not chosen in the Mangshan Mountain area around Jingzhao Mansion, but in Gongyi, which is more than a hundred miles away from the capital, which made Huang Qiong somewhat curious.
But for him, it's not too strange. In ancient China, whether they were princes, generals or ordinary people, as long as they had some extra money, the first priority when choosing a cemetery was Feng Shui. According to custom, Mangshan is indeed a geomantic treasure land, otherwise there would be no old saying that Yun was born in Suzhou and Hangzhou and buried in Mangshan.
But now, after the construction of the past dynasties, there is actually no good Feng Shui treasure land around Mang Mountain to accommodate the new imperial mausoleum area. Better geomantic treasures have long been conquered by those who come first. For the rest, from the perspective of Huang Qiong's two generations of people, except that the soil quality is not bad, according to Feng Shui theory, there is no good auspicious soil.
Huang Qiong is actually no stranger to Feng Shui, and can even be called a semi-expert. If you want to know the tomb robbers in the past life, if you want to find the large tomb that no longer has any signs on the ground, in addition to the investigation and research that is easy to find, the remaining half depends on the understanding of Feng Shui. If you don’t understand Feng Shui, how can you do underground work?
He probably would have died of hunger a long time ago, or he would have been under the dictatorship of the police uncle a long time ago. If you want to find a large tomb worth digging, you need to learn Feng Shui well. It can be said that Huang Qiong has worked hard in his previous life, and he can definitely be regarded as an expert in this area. In my previous life, I was engaged in a special, shady industry.
Huang Qiong has always believed that since the Western Jin Dynasty, in terms of Feng Shui, there has not been much auspicious soil in the Mangshan Mountains around Luoyang that can be used for the first-level emperors' tombs. After the Qi Dynasty moved its capital to Luoyang, the coffins of the emperors and empresses of the past dynasties could no longer be transported thousands of miles away in the transfer pass.
If you choose to find other auspicious soil around Luoyang, expanding your search outwards will become an inevitable choice. Although Gongyi is already located on the southern edge of Mang Mountain, with its head resting on the Yellow River and its feet on Songshan Mountain, it is also considered a good Feng Shui treasure land. In particular, the Songshan Mountain Range has always been known as the Zhongyue Mountains. The mountains are dangerous and majestic, far exceeding the Mangshan Mountains, which are only a few hundred meters high.
Moreover, it is only more than a hundred miles away from Jingzhao Mansion. It was much more convenient for emperors of all dynasties to bury or offer sacrifices. The particularity of living in an emperor's tomb, I guess the choice of Feng Shui is similar. Therefore, Huang Qiong believes that it is not surprising that the Imperial Mausoleum of the Eastern Capital of the Qi Dynasty is located in the same place as the Northern Song Dynasty in his memory of his previous life.
