I just looked at Yuan Baoer who acted extremely weak without Huang Qiong. Situ Huanshuang couldn't help but sigh. She knew that Huang Qiong would eventually promise her and her children not to live in the palace. But Yuan Baoer wanted to completely draw a clear line with Huang Qiong, but Huang Qiong would never agree. Just like Nangong Mei, she wanted to give up her relationship with Huang Qiong countless times. But in the end, it was still not completely broken. However, Situ Huanshuang could not say these words. Otherwise, Yuan Baoer will most likely hide without a trace again.
The two women cuddled together quietly, as if they were serving Huang Qiong for the first time. That night, Huang Qiong did not come back. The two women slept in the same bed and talked a lot. Although Huang Qiong was tortured very badly, he still had a solid foundation in martial arts. In the early morning of the next day, Yuan Baoer got up normally. However, after hearing that the night before, Huang Qiong did not go to anyone to rest. Instead, he ran to the room arranged for his son and slept with his son for the night. Yuan Baoer was so surprised that he almost dropped his jaw.
Compared to the shocked Yuan Baoer, Huang Qiong couldn't help but have a headache the next morning when she saw the little boy sleeping in an extremely ugly posture on the bed with his arms stretched out. Compared to the children in the palace who have been brought up to be well-behaved since childhood. The way this child sleeps is really weird. Originally, I wanted to be with my children and establish a father-son relationship as soon as possible. But he didn't expect that the child would sleep almost all over the bed, punching and kicking him. This night, I almost didn't sleep all night.
When Huang Qiong finished washing the child with her own hands and led the child out of the room, she saw Yuan Baoer covering her mouth and laughing softly. Yuan Baoer, who obviously knew where his son slept every night, knew exactly what Huang Qiong had endured that night. However, although I also knew that Huang Qiong probably suffered a lot that night. But seeing Huang Qiong and her son walking out hand in hand, Yuan Baoer still felt warm in her heart. Especially after seeing the two faces that were somewhat similar, one big and one small, Yuan Baoer was deeply moved.
After having breakfast, the group, led by Yuan Baoer, went to the same mountain as yesterday. And looking at the front of the mountain as it goes south, the terrain gradually opens up, and the mountains behind and around it are stacked on top of each other, rushing towards the mountain at their feet, forming the entire mountain trend that thousands of mountains come towards. The mausoleum that Yuan Baoer selected for himself has three small ridges on the left side in the south direction, and two ridges with almost the same height on the right side, facing each other far away, forming left and right sand protection. Climbing high and looking into the distance, you can see a river running in the distance and winding away to the east.
Huang Qiong also had a certain understanding of Feng Shui, and couldn't help but admire Yuan Baoer's eyes. He might not be able to do anything else, but doing this is indeed sinister. If nothing else, the terrain here alone is more suitable for an imperial mausoleum than Gong County. Although he didn't pay much attention to this, the topography here also made Huang Qiong sigh, it was really the residence of an emperor. Even Dao Meiping, after carefully examining the direction of the mountains here, couldn't help but give Yuan Baoer a thumbs up. Even if she were to come, she wouldn't be able to choose a better Yamakawa Katsuki.
Huang Qiong, who is extremely satisfied with this place, has not yet decided to stay here. Instead, it was advantageous to travel around the surrounding mountains and rivers in ten days. It's not that he said anything about the place Yuan Baoer chose for him. He was thinking that since the imperial mausoleum in Gong County no longer had a good place for feng shui. Even though I have moved here, I have to think about it for future generations. Huang Qiong believes that since a mausoleum area has been reopened, it is not suitable for further development. Two mausoleum sites are enough.
If this area is suitable for building many imperial mausoleums, then from now on, my descendants and descendants will all choose this place, and there will be no need to choose another auspicious place. But this time, Huang Qiong did not leave everything to Yuan Baoer. Instead, Yuan Baoer and Dao Meiping were asked to separate to the left and right to investigate one side each. What Huang Qiong meant was that in the future this mausoleum would be centered on his Shoulu Mausoleum, and future descendants of Yi Zhaomu would choose imperial mausoleums on both sides of their own mausoleum. What he means is that you don’t need to specify it in advance, but just check it out roughly.
After more than ten days of investigation, Yuan Baoer and Dao Meiping identified eight surrounding places that were suitable for the imperial mausoleum, and two places that were slightly less good. Huang Qiong brought all these places to the painters to draw them. Huang Qiong was silent for a long time after hearing that he was not counted here and a total of ten places were selected for the construction of the imperial mausoleum. Counting from himself, there can still be ten emperors passed down. In other words, everything is calculated. From a Feng Shui perspective, this dynasty can be passed on for ten generations after him, which is not a small amount.
Although it is somewhat unfortunate to come to this conclusion. However, Huang Qiong is relatively tolerant. Although emperors of all dynasties all hoped that the dynasty they created would last forever. But since the Qin and Han Dynasties, no dynasty has lasted more than three hundred years. Even if there is, there will be breaks in the middle. The two Han Dynasties, and the two Song Dynasties that should have appeared, together can only last more than three hundred years. If you include those before he succeeded to the throne, Da Qi has lasted for more than a hundred years. Together with himself, eleven people can last for two hundred years.
With a three-hundred-year foundation, it is considered quite satisfactory among all the unified dynasties in the past. Who can guarantee that future generations will be like themselves? How heroic was Emperor Taizong back then? But starting from Emperor Xuanzong, hasn’t every generation been worse than the last? From the time Lizong Dynasty began to decline, to the time Sejong Dynasty almost lost the country. Although the old man tried to turn the tide back then, he was just barely able to maintain it later. If I hadn't worked hard on it myself, perhaps the old man's generation would have had to change this splendid country.
Now that I am making great changes, if my descendants are still successful, I will carry out my own changes instead of destroying the people and the government. Perhaps, Daqi can survive for a few more years. If future generations are incompetent, greedy for pleasure and lazy in politics, who knows how many years this Great Qi can last? The founding emperors of the past dynasties were not wise and mighty, but the kingdoms they worked so hard to conquer were all defeated at the hands of future generations? As for my descendants, what can I do besides changing the way Prince Da Qi educates them?
If Da Qi can still last for three hundred years after him, Huang Qiong will be content. After hearing the reports from Yuan Baoer and Dao Meiping, Huang Qiong finally nodded. He also personally named the nameless mountain behind him Yongning Mountain. Immediately after coming down from the mountain, he ordered people to go to Beijing and transfer people from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to come and prepare to carefully inspect the soil quality here. Since ancient times, loess has always been the best material for imperial tombs. If there is sand and gravel in the soil, that is a big no-no. If you find stones under the soil, even if it looks good in Feng Shui, you still have to give up.
At the same time, let Yuan Baoer and Dao Meiping jointly point out the location of Jinjing. But seeing Yuan Baoer and Dao Meiping wandering around in front of the mountain with compasses, and occasionally lying on the ground with their ears to the ground to listen to something, Huang Qiong shook his head. He knew some Feng Shui, but Huang Qiong didn't know how to survey the Feng Shui of the Imperial Mausoleum. Now seeing Yuan Baoer's movements, I still feel strange. Later, Dao Meiping told him that he was listening to see if there were water veins under the ground. Because no emperor is willing to let himself soak in water.
Although the water veins are like this, it can be seen from the vegetation on the ground. But I still listen to it from time to time, it is more reliable. But Huang Qiong has always believed that whether there is water underground can be heard with just ears. When someone from the Ministry of Industry arrived, Yuan Baoer didn't have anyone else, so he dug around with a shovel with his own hands. And the child she gave birth to herself was always reminding her of something. Until they arrived at a location in front of the mountain, Yuan Baoer, Dao Meiping, and the child murmured for a long time, and finally settled on Jin Jing's so-called location.
After the rough location was chosen, it was time for Huang Qiong to return to the palace. But the scenery here is beautiful, and Situ Huanshuang left the capital for the first time since marrying him. Seeing that Situ Huanshuang liked the scenery here very much, this was the place he chose to live in a hundred years from now. Huang Qiong simply stayed here for a month. As for the discounts, they are delivered by fast horse from the capital every day. After the Ministry of Industry came and dug out the soil at the selected location, it turned out that it was all good loess. Yuan Baoer was completely relieved after completing the task.
At this point, the matter basically has nothing to do with her. The next work will naturally be taken over by the Ministry of Industry. However, how could Huang Qiong let her leave like this? Almost every night, she was exhausted from the torment. This month, Yuan Zhizheng did not show up at all. They just sent Yuan Baoer's eldest brother to come here to see Huang Qiong. The two people were locked in a secret room and talked all night. Yuan Baoer's eldest brother left the next day. Quan pretended not to see Yuan Baoer's look for help.
Until a month later, Huang Qiong could no longer stay here. After Yuan Baoer begged and swore to heaven that he would bring his children to Beijing to see him every year from now on, Huang Qiong finally agreed to let him go. But after Huang Qiong agreed to release him, he was afraid that the master would regret it, so he didn't dare to delay at all. Early in the morning, I endured the exhaustion caused by Huang Qiong and struggled to wash my son. Not even daring to say goodbye, Yuan Baoer ran all the way back to Zhongnan Mountain, only to realize that she was pregnant again.
The extremely annoyed Yuan Baoer, besides yelling that Huang Qiong was really not a human being, felt like crying. However, the Yuan family was filled with anger when they discovered she was pregnant for the first time. This time, everyone in the Yuan family behaved extremely calmly. It was Yuan's mother who wanted to kill her at Li's main gate to avenge her daughter. Other than sighing at the injustice, he didn't say anything. On the contrary, the child with the big name Yuan Hongwei was a little unhappy when he heard that his mother was pregnant again.
But the child just said, "Sister Bao, please be more careful in the future. Don't be so silly and out of tune all the time, and get deceived by men again." He didn't say much, and he didn't show any extreme behavior. Seemingly calm, he accepted the current situation that his mother wanted to give him a younger brother or younger sister. Although Huang Qiong desperately tried to build a relationship between father and son during that month. Even with the dignity of an emperor, he personally cooked a meal for the child. But in this child's heart, his status is still not as good as his mother's.
Although she also knew that her mother did not reject her father, and she had never hated him. The two of them were not together at first, and it seemed that it was something caused by his grandfather. But this child still doesn't like to see Huang Qiong as his father. This time, his mother had another child, which caused the little good impression he had towards his father to completely disappear, and he became even less fond of his father. It's just that the child feels sorry for his mother and knows his mother's temperament, so he doesn't show it on the surface.
What the mother and son didn't know at this time was that after Yuan Baoer found out that she was pregnant again, a secret letter was sent from the Zhongnan Mountain Taoist Temple and was rushed to the capital. After receiving the secret letter, Huang Qiong had an uncontrollable smile on her face.
