Early in the morning, Yao Ji followed the emperor and officials to visit the imperial tomb.It took several hours to go back and forth and the ceremony. When I returned to Zhongdu Imperial City, it was already noon.
After lunch, Yao Ji changed into a generous gift robe with a green base and a slightly heavy phoenix crown. This made people find an old eunuch living in the second place to lead the way and meet Mrs. Guo’s residence.
The followers carried a box to visit Guo Yan.
There are silk, new copper coins, and some rouge and gouache, and various supplies.
Everyone walked into a courtyard. When Yao Ji saw Guo Yan coming out to greet her, she was immediately surprised.
After not seeing each other for a few years, Guo Yan has changed a lot.
She seemed to have aged a lot, her pale skin was very shiny, and the sagging skin beside her nose was also obvious, except for the fine lines on her face.
She doesn't dress up with simple clothes very carefully, she looks like an ordinary woman.
After seeing the ceremony, Guo Yan led Yao Ji into the room.
Yao Ji saw that there were bronze mirrors, combs, small boxes and other items on a table in this room.
Guo Yan seemed to have dressed up before, but after the notification, it didn't take long, so those things were not cleaned up.
The fairy concubine has not changed much, she is still so beautiful. Guo Yan looked at Yao Ji and said, her eyes were a little complicated, and she subconsciously reached out to put her hand on her cheek.
where.Yao Ji smiled and turned around and said: Put things in, just leave.
The followers said one after another: Yes.
Yao Ji glanced at the box, which was the queen's wish.
Guo Yan said: After Concubine Xian returned to Beijing, she thanked her for me.Please sit here.
The two of them sat in the chair inside, and Guo Yan was not far from the table, and still looked into the bronze mirror from time to time.Yao Ji's appearance seemed to stimulate her a little, after all, Yao Ji is no more than two years younger than her.
There were almost no men in Zhongdu Imperial City, and the officials and soldiers who were left behind the department would not come in; but Guo Yan still showed frustration about her deterioration on the spot.
Yao Ji suddenly got it, and Mrs. Guo had no way to turn around.Beauty is really a big advantage for women, but unfortunately there is time limit and it is very easy to be squandered.
No matter when it comes, the queen has been thinking about Mrs. Guo. Yao Ji said, "She often mentions your childhood events."
Guo Yan said weakly: I should feel a little guilty.
When Yao Ji heard this, she looked at her with a smile and said softly: But now, I'm afraid only the queen will miss you so much.
Guo Yan opened her mouth slightly, but couldn't speak.Yao Ji's words just now are undoubtedly true.
Yao Ji then said frankly: The Queen was unwilling to interfere more when the Emperor left Beijing and wanted to take whom.In order to accompany the emperor, I proposed to visit Mrs. Guo voluntarily, and the queen thought of a solution.The queen never ignored Mrs. Guo.
Guo Yan did not respond.
Yao Ji said again: When the deposed prince's party was overthrown, Mrs. Guo was able to stay in the palace because the queen was thinking of a solution.
Guo Yan raised her head and said: Later, a fire broke out in Fengyang. Don’t everyone think mine is a problem?That's why I was sent here.
It is difficult for people to do whatever they want for others.Yao Ji said, I think Mrs. Guo understands the queen's wishes in her heart, so she has such demands.Otherwise, will you blame a person who is not a relative or accustomed to the point of being harsh?
Guo Yan suddenly turned to look at Yao Ji, her expression changed slightly and quickly, and she remained silent.
Now, I don't need pity.Guo Yan said, it’s great to guard the tomb here and can still accompany Zhantan.
Yao Ji said calmly: The fire has nothing to do with the Emperor.This morning, the emperor got up very early.I only found out after I went out that the Lord was walking along the fire ruins.The emperor has no guilt, only emotion.
Guo Yan's upper body fluctuated, and her face showed resentment and pain. She seemed to have a little rapid breathing and gritted her teeth and said: Is the old eunuch Wu Zhong who set fire to the fire a confidant of Ma Enhui?
Yao Ji looked at Guo Yan's eyes and couldn't help feeling nervous. Yao Ji suddenly understood why Guo Yan grew old so quickly. The great sorrow in her heart might not be able to bear it.
Originally, Yao Ji had thought about using Guo Yan's hatred to deal with Ma Enhui, but in the end she did not put it into practice. She just thought about it.
Now it seems that Yao Ji is glad that she has not done anything wrong, otherwise things may not be able to control.
People are changing too.
In the past, Yao Ji was very angry with Ma Enhui and wanted to treat her with her own way. In the past two years, she has become a little open-minded.
Perhaps it was because life was getting better and better, she gradually became open-minded.
If it was really instructed by Ma Enhui, I am afraid the emperor would do something. Yao Ji said calmly, Mrs. Guo, don’t forget that Zhan Yi is not only your son, but also the emperor’s nephew. Can the royal bloodline make outsiders harm as soon as they want?
Guo Yan said coldly: Will Ma Enhui admit it?
Yao Ji replied without hesitation: The Lord’s heart is probably more clear than people think.
Guo Yan frowned and stared at Yao Ji without comment.After a while, she just said: I did misread the emperor, I was really stupid at that time.
Yao Ji vaguely guessed Guo Yan’s regret.Yao Ji also heard about it. It is said that the person who promised Zhu Gaoxu to be the princess of Han may be Guo Yan.
Destiny is impermanent. Whether it is gratitude or grudge, it is useless now. There is no way, just let go if you can. If Mrs. Guo has any needs, please ask someone to tell the queen that as long as it can be done, the queen will still help you. In the queen's heart, you will be an elder sister for the rest of your life. After Yao Ji said that, she stood up and said goodbye, and there will be a date later.
Guo Yan sent her off for a long time. She had resentment towards many people, but she had no grudges with Yao Ji.
Walking out of the courtyard, the breeze was blowing in the bright sunshine, Yao Ji suddenly felt a sense of a sense of depression stretching out, and she felt much better.
Even after staying in Guo Yan's room for a while, Yao Ji felt very uncomfortable, and even there seemed to be a depressing aura in the air.
Yao Ji couldn't help but feel a little moved.
The palace maids hurriedly brought a sunshade umbrella, and Yao Ji then got into the sedan chair and returned to the palace where everyone was staying.
We are going to leave Zhongdu tomorrow morning, and there is nothing serious about this afternoon. Yao Ji ordered the people who accompanied him to go to the place where the imperial concubine Mu Zhen lived.
At this time, the Mu family's family was at its peak. Now they raised an army to seize the world. The Duke of Qian State Mu Sheng made great contributions and was extremely trusted by the emperor. Moreover, the people from the Mu family still guarded Yunnan and were the most powerful nobles of the Ming Dynasty.
In order to win over the Mu family, the emperor did not hesitate to change the etiquette system and specially added the title of Imperial Concubine to Mu Zhen, which is beyond words.
Even the queen was very afraid of Mu Zhen and was often a little worried.
Although Yao Ji has a good relationship with the queen, there is no need for her to be in trouble with Mu Zhen for the sake of the queen; not to mention that the queen and Mu Zhen are always humble to each other and dare not make enemies easily.
Mu Zhen is very enthusiastic.
She seemed to be taking a nap, but when she came out to meet her, she still had a strand of her hair on her temples, but she didn't care at all. She immediately took Yao Ji's hand affectionately and talked about the sound of the pipa last night.
It seems that the two are very close.
Moreover, Mu Zhen has a handsome and delicate face, and her eyes are very bright and clean when she smiles. She always makes people feel very comfortable, like a spring breeze, and never shows off her family style without showing off.
At first, Yao Ji thought she was good at dealing with things and was all skilled, but after a while, Yao Ji believed it a little. Mu Zhen seemed to be a good person to be with.
So Yao Ji didn't hate her, but she liked her a little.
The queen had a prince and Mu Zhen also gave birth to a prince. Yao Ji didn't treat them as opponents at all. She was too lazy to compete for anything in terms of power, and she was not as strong as she was. Yao Ji just wants to compete for favor.
It seems to be called Chen Xianzhen.Seeing that Mu Zhen was interested, Yao Ji whispered in cooperation.
Mu Zhen tilted her body and said softly: Everyone was sent to Fengyang, and the emperor went to see her in person. Why did she look a little disconnected? Does Chen Xianzhen have any past with the emperor?
Yao Ji chuckled and said: I heard that when the emperor was in Yunnan, Chen Xianzhen came and was a lobbyist for the people of Annan.Later, I guess I had been close to the emperor.
Close?Mu Zhen repeated casually.
Yao Ji was whispering: Yes.
The two looked at each other, and Mu Zhen showed a embarrassed expression.Seeing her eyes subconsciously avoiding them, Yao Ji guessed that she understood.
Yao Ji said again: The emperor is a nostalgic person, not just for one person.Chen Xianzhen took the initiative to show up, and the emperor might not have done too ruthlessly.
At this moment, Yao Ji vaguely saw Cao Fu's figure passing outside the door, and she turned around and said, "Go and call Cao Fu in."
The palace maid standing at the door bent her knees and said: Yes.
Yao Ji said to Mu Zhen: Just ask Cao Fu that this eunuch is by the emperor all day long.
Sure enough, Cao Fu came in quickly. He saw the two imperial concubines sitting on it and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.Mu Zhen said: Get up quickly, Eunuch Cao.
Cao Fubai's fat face was very kind, and he said with a smile: I, Empress Xie Huang Concubine and Empress Xie Xian, both Empress Hao, are good health and well.
Then Mu Zhen waved her handkerchief gently, and the several palace maids standing in the living room bowed their knees and left one after another.Cao Fu turned his head and glanced, and immediately showed a flattering smile when he turned around.
Yao Ji said: I ask you, how should the emperor treat Chen Xianzhen?
Cao Fuwei said: I don’t know very well, I only know that she will leave Zhongdu with us tomorrow.
Yao Ji said: The Imperial Concubine is here, what can you say?
Cao Fu pondered for a moment and said: I really don’t know what the emperor is going to do, but Chen Xianzhen was still by the emperor’s side just now.The emperor asked someone to summon her.
Yao Ji and Mu Zhen turned their heads at the same time and looked at each other.The two of them tacitly did not ask much, just waiting for Cao Fu to continue speaking.
After lunch, Yao Ji changed into a generous gift robe with a green base and a slightly heavy phoenix crown. This made people find an old eunuch living in the second place to lead the way and meet Mrs. Guo’s residence.
The followers carried a box to visit Guo Yan.
