The correct way to open the first favorite concubine of Ming Dynasty

"Where did Princess Yue go?" the queen mother asked.

There is no relationship between her and Hongye, and she even had a faint resentment towards Hongye.However, ever since she learned of the death of the third child, the queen mother has always been concerned about Hongye's itinerary.

Red leaves are the few thoughts left by the third child in this world.The queen mother cared about Hongye, probably because she was used as a substitute for her son to express her feelings as a mother.

I said, "In the letter from last month, it was said that he was in Tengchong, Yunnan."

"Not in Sichuan anymore?"

"I have visited Sichuan a long time ago, and I have already gone to Yunnan at the beginning of the year." Last month, last month, the Queen Mother asked this question, and I always answered it this way.The Empress Dowager's memory has deteriorated to the point where it is completely different from Bo Wen's strong memory back then.

The Queen Mother listened, nodded, and after a while, turned to look at me: "I want to visit Yong'er again." What she was talking about was not the tomb of King Yue, but Tanzhe Temple.It is not in accordance with the etiquette to pay homage to the tomb of the king of Yue with the respect of the queen mother.The queen mother has always insisted on the word "ritual".She insists not only on others, but also on herself.She is unwilling to break the word "ritual", and every word and action must be enough to be a model for the world.

"Mother, you can take care of your body again, and when the swelling on your legs subsides, your daughter-in-law will serve you again, okay?"

"I'm going now! Why don't you let me go?" The queen mother has a poor memory, but she hasn't forgotten to be on guard against my "scheming" daughter-in-law.When the old man gets old, he becomes confused, self-willed like a child, and unreasonable.

I sighed secretly in my heart, folded my smiling face again, and said with a smile like coaxing a child: "Then let's go by chariot. Jin Ying, the Empress Dowager is going to visit Tanzhe Temple, hurry up and arrange it, don't delay."

He sent someone to tell Heidan again, but only said that he was going to offer incense.About the third child, I still keep it from him.It's not because his current body can't bear the bad news, it's just because he hasn't had the opportunity to say it since his condition improved.For no reason, I don't want to say these things.

Tanzhe Temple is quite far from the Forbidden City.The Empress Dowager announced that she was going to go at noon, and when the car was ready, it was bumpy for dozens of miles, and it was almost dusk when it arrived.

The setting sun dyes the sky red and ignites the red leaves all over the mountain, like a lake of bright red maple tea, sparkling with the wind.

This place is known as "Nine Dragons Holding Pearls".Tanzhe Temple is surrounded by mountains on all sides, backed by Baozhu Peak, surrounded by Huilong Peak, Huju Peak, Pengri Peak, Zicui Peak, Jiyun Peak, Yingluo Peak, Jiayue Peak, Xiangwang Peak and Lianhua Peak. Nine seats.In late autumn, the red and yellow leaves all over the mountains and plains are intertwined, and the sunset is gorgeous and grand, which is not ordinary and bleak. Tanzhe Temple is located in it, surrounded by clouds and mist, like a majestic treasure ship in a bustling world, with fairy spirit floating, looming.

The abbot led a group of monks to wait outside the mountain gate. The queen mother got up from the chariot, folded her hands together, and recited the Buddha's name.

Entering the temple, the pavilions and green tiles in the temple are solemn and gorgeous, and the cigarettes are curling up, lingering around the beams.The Empress Dowager held my hand and walked into the main hall with difficulty to pay homage and offer incense, praying devoutly.I was listening, and she wished firstly that the Ming Dynasty would be prosperous and the people safe, secondly that the emperor would strive to govern and be healthy, and thirdly that she would pray for the late emperor and King Yuejing (the third child).

When we came out of the hall, the abbot led us to the backyard without us talking.

Shaded by ancient trees, emerald rockery, exotic flowers and grass everywhere, all kinds of quiet scenery, surrounded by a bowl-shaped Tibetan-style white pagoda.

It was the Vajra Longevity Pagoda built by Lao San to pray for the Empress Dowager before his death, and the Empress Dowager's birthday horoscope and Buddhist scriptures are hidden in the pagoda.

When the queen mother saw the pagoda, her eyes turned red.

Seeing this, the abbot quickly hinted to everyone to retreat quietly.

The Empress Dowager got off the sedan chair, and Nanny Wu and I supported her on the left and right, and approached the pagoda step by step with difficulty.There is a pine tree on the east and west sides of the pagoda, which was planted by the third child himself, and now it is as thick as a bowl.

The queen mother stroked the rough trunk of the pine tree with wrinkled hands, as if caressing the face of her beloved son, and cried: "Yong'er, my filial son..."

Seeing this tower and this tree, I think of the voice and smile of the third child.He is so young.

Years have passed, and every time I think of him, tears still well up.

I suppressed my tears and persuaded the Queen Mother.Nanny Wu also tried to persuade her while wiping her tears secretly. She watched the third child grow up.

"It's getting cold, in order to prevent the dew in the night and the cold air invading the body, mother, come back early. My daughter-in-law will accompany you again." I persuaded: "If the third child knows that you have caught a cold because of looking at this pagoda, How can he be happy?"

Grandma Wu also chimed in: "Your Majesty, go back. For His Highness's filial piety, you have to be considerate."

The Empress Dowager finally stopped her tears and agreed to drive back to the palace.

On the way, he asked again: "How is Xiaowu's place?"

I replied: "When I was a child, there was a letter in a few months. Whenever there was a letter, the daughter-in-law showed it to my mother. He and the princess are very good, and Qi Yong and Qi Kuang are also born healthy. Next year, I will give Qi Yong the crown prince." , has passed the decree to the Ministry of Rites."

The Queen Mother nodded slowly.

Because of her slow thinking, she still stopped for a while before continuing to ask: "How is Jiaxing?"

The matter of Jiaxing was the same as that of Hong Ye and Xiao Wu. She had already asked about it a few days ago.

I replied patiently and slowly: "Jiaxing is still raising a baby, the imperial doctor said that it will be in early October, and it will be in these few days."

In the whole life of the Queen Mother, at the end of the day, there were only these few treasures left, and they had to ask them one by one every few days, like counting treasures.

It was the first day of October.

On the night of the second day of October, the Princess of Jiaxing's mansion sent people to the palace to report that the princess gave birth to a daughter, but she died due to dystocia and blood loss.
