"There is no need to panic about this matter," Xie Ziyue reassured her: "His Majesty said that there will be heavy security guards at that time, and no one will be allowed to approach."
When going to Guoan Temple to pray for blessings, the emperor would bring his concubines to burn incense and pray for blessings in the temple. This time is also the most likely time for chaos to arise.
However, Emperor Xianzong of the Han Dynasty had already planned it, and one can imagine how tightly he would be guarded at that time. It was unlikely that the Queen would do anything wrong.
Besides, she brought embarrassment to the entire family of the Prime Minister Zuo. The Prime Minister wished she was dead. How could he put all his chess pieces on such a stupid woman?
The above was Xie Ziyue's idea, but she didn't expect that it turned out to be a prophecy.
On the day of the royal family's trip, there was great fanfare.
The imperial chariot was in the middle, as were the carriages of the concubines, as well as an endless number of guards, officers and soldiers behind them.
The common people lined the streets to welcome him. Wherever the imperial chariot went, people knelt on the ground and shouted long live the emperor.
Dayan now does not say that the government is well-organized and people are harmonious, but there are indeed signs of prosperity. The people are protected from the pain of war, and corvee taxes are also reduced. This is because I sincerely thank the current emperor.
After learning that the royal family was going to Guoan Temple to pray for blessings today, they waited here early.
At a glance, the people all fell to their knees and shouted long live His Majesty.
The sound was like waves, and Gu Xuan, who was in it, could not describe the feeling in her heart at that moment.
She understood extremely clearly what kind of responsibilities the loving Emperor Xianzong of the Han Dynasty had before her, and what profound history the famous sayings that had been famous in history and passed down through the ages carried.
A king is a boat; a common man is water; water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it.
She has been staying in the palace and has never seen what the people are like. Now that she has finally come out, she can hear the excitement in the market.
"Concubine, concubine~" Gu Xuan pointed anxiously at the small window of the carriage and signaled Xie Ziyue to open the curtain above.
Ever since she called her "Mother and Concubine" a few days ago, it was as if she had been opened up to Ren and Du. Whenever something happened, she would chirp like a little bird.
However, Xie Ziyue had no resistance to her daughter's soft and waxy voice. As soon as her daughter acted coquettishly, she would obey everything.
The people who were watching saw the curtains of the luxurious carriage being lifted, and similar faces, one big and one small, came together in front of the window.
The people who saw it immediately held their breath.
When Xie Ziyue was first crowned the imperial concubine, she was often pointed at by ministers and scolded as a witch concubine. All the women in the harem were not as beautiful as her, and her appearance was absolutely stunning.
Even the princes and nobles who are used to seeing beauties will be amazed, not to mention the people on both sides of the street?
If she was the only one who appeared at the carriage window, the people would probably think it was not blasphemous.
But she was holding a little girl who looked exactly like her in her arms. The little girl's eyes were wide open, and she was cute and naive.
The common people all know that His Majesty has only one daughter, and this little girl must be His Majesty's eldest princess. Suddenly, many common people who saw the mother and daughter spontaneously saluted the Imperial Concubine and the little princess.
Gu Xuan had never been kneeled down by so many people before, and her little heart was still beating loudly until she walked out of the street.
The distance between Guoan Temple and the Royal Palace is quite long. A large group of people walked for a whole day and only arrived when it was getting dark.
Tomorrow is an auspicious day for worship. Master Mo Wang, the host, arranged rooms for the nobles in the palace, and Gu Xuan was able to rest after running around all day.
Because there are memorial tablets of emperors of all dynasties in Guoan Temple, one must bathe and purify one's body and ears one day before worshiping, so Emperor Xianzong of Han Dynasty did not come here on that day.
Concubine De came over in the evening. She had found out where the queen was going here. It was said that the courtyard where the queen lived was far away from here, and if she wanted to come over, she would have to go through heavy guards.
She is a weak-minded woman, I understand that she does not have such great abilities.
"That way you can rest assured." Xie Ziyue breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Seeing that it was getting late outside, she said:
"It's getting late outside, and we have to get up early tomorrow. Sister, please go back and rest first."
Concubine De went back in a good mood.
When resting in the evening, Xie Ziyue was afraid that Gu Xuan would recognize her bed, so she held her in her arms and patted her.
Gu Xuan did feel a little uncomfortable with the bed, but her familiar and beloved mother-in-law was beside her. Smelling the good smell of her mother-in-law, she gradually felt a little sleepy, and her eyelids began to tremble.
The child sleeps well, but offering sacrifices and praying for blessings is a big deal. When it was still dark, Xie Ziyue and Tao Xiang dressed their daughter together.
The fat and white baby is very cute, and looks even more noble when wearing the bright yellow color that represents the royal family.
Gu Xuan could feel her hands and feet being manipulated in her dream, but she was too sleepy and didn't want to open her eyes at all. She could only moan and hope that the other person wouldn't keep touching her.
Seeing her humming like a cat, Xie Ziyue and Tao Xiang couldn't help laughing.
After putting her clothes on, Xie Ziyue began to wash and dress up.
On important occasions such as this, the concubines do not wear their heads and faces, but wear court crowns.
With the court skirt on the inside, the court robe on the outside, and the court gown on the outside, and then the court beads, she looked even more elegant and noble.
At this time, the sky outside was getting brighter. Without the queen, Xie Ziyue should accompany Han Xianzong.
When Han Xianzong came to wait for their mother and daughter, he saw Xie Ziyue's outfit, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine, the auspicious time is coming soon. Master Mowu and Master Yinming are already waiting in the palace."
It is necessary to recite scriptures when praying, and the two masters also got up early to prepare.
"Let's go then." Han Xianzong said, and the group walked towards the main hall.
In order to pray smoothly today, there are guards guarding the spacious roadside of Guoan Temple a few meters apart.
With such a large force, it can be seen that Han Xianzong was indeed afraid of something happening and was on tight defense.
It’s just that there is a word in this world called accident.
The group of people walked to the road together and saw a palace maid running out of the path covered in blood.
The palace maid panicked and was obviously greatly frightened.
I ran into something like this when I went out. It was still a day like this. Han Xianzong's face suddenly darkened.
Laifu stepped forward and scolded: "Which palace are you a slave from? You can run around in such a good life? Do you not want your head anymore?"
The palace maid didn't expect to run into the emperor and the imperial concubine when she ran out. She hurriedly knelt down and said:
"Your Majesty, this slave deserves to die! This slave deserves to die! This slave didn't know that he would bump into Your Majesty when he came out. Please forgive me! Please forgive me!"
"Do you know what day it is today? How many brains do you have..." Laifu was about to reprimand, but was interrupted by Han Xianzong waving his hand.
He looked at this slave in confusion. He had seen her body and face covered in blood before, so he didn't notice it for a while.
Now take a closer look, isn't this person... Er Rong?
