Chapter 311: The Priesthood(1/3)
After the child fell asleep, Chu Qi also came out of the study.
Mu Jinghong took a bath, and his moist hair was still a little wet. When he saw Chu Qi walking in, he stopped his movements.
"Are they leaving?"
They refer to Huo Zhi and others who have been invisible in the dark after coming to Kyoto City, and have arranged them behind their backs just in case.
Chu Qi sat in the chair, poured himself a cup of tea, and looked up at Mu Jinghong.
Mu Jinghong was a little puzzled by him.
"What's wrong?"
Mu Jinghong walked over and sat next to him, staring at him.
"I heard that the emperor beat Concubine De for Ah Hong and even punished Concubine De for being confined."
His eyes were faint and he felt a little bit angry.
Mu Jinghong was stunned and hurriedly explained: "What is the misunderstanding of the prince? It's just that Concubine De used some shameful tricks in public, and the emperor just did it for everyone to show it."
"Ah Hong is so lucky, and Concubine De has been compared."
Chu Qi snorted coldly and put down the cup with some gravity.
Mu Jinghong was really helpless and funny: "If the prince is worried, you can ask the emperor to argue with him."
Upon hearing this, Chu Qi immediately got up and walked out.
"Prince!"
Mu Jinghong hurriedly got up and pulled the person back.
Chu Qi turned around and pulled the man into his arms, bowed his head and kissed him.
...
Mu Jinghong took two steps back, and his still shy reaction made Chu Qi's heart twitch and his black eyes narrowed slightly.
"Tomorrow Ah Hong will come out empty, and the work on the Imperial Heaven Supervision will be handed over to Liu Shukuang. There is no need for you to deal with those trivial matters at all times."
"What is the prince going to do?"
"That night I promised someone to see their relatives on their behalf. I was thinking that Ah Hong should be happy to accompany me to see."
Mu Jinghong said with some surprise: "Is the prince's friend?"
"Friend?" Chu Qi thought about it carefully, nodded and smiled, "then he should be a friend."
"Okay, I'll go with the prince to check it out."
Chu Qi held her hand and leaned very close, breathing on her cheeks, causing her to bow her head to avoid it, and listened to the charming voice of the world and pressed into her eardrums: "But, I have to punish Ah Hong tonight!"
"Um?"
Mu Jinghong looked up and hit his mind!
...
The next day.
Chu Qi took Mu Jinghong and his son to the Royal Garden.
Mu Jinghong followed into the garden and looked back at Chu Qi in shock when he saw the standing tomb. "This is!"
"Dunmu Zunyue's tombstone is the tombstone of other people in Duanmu tribes across these two mountains. It's a bit difficult to take you up the mountain, so I just came here to worship together."
Chu Qi asked the Chanjiu to put down wine and the like, with his expression curled, and his eyes fixed on the monument in front of him.
Mu Jinghong stared at Chu Ji blankly!
"I am also a friend of her who grew up. After her death, I had some involvement with the Duanmu family. When they left that day, I promised to come and take a look. Now I agree with the promise. I know that some things Ah Hong knows now originated from her, so it's okay to come and visit."
Mu Jinghong opened his lips, silently held a glass of wine without saying anything, and greeted the rest of the Duanmu family outside the two mountains.
"The prince is intent."
Mu Jinghong quietly looked at the monument, not knowing what it felt in his heart.
The bloody body was buried in this royal garden by Chu Yu. I don’t know whether he wanted to insult him or had ulterior motives.
"It's just a promise."
Chu Qi also raised his cup and respected the monument.
Mu Jinghong smiled slightly, looked up and looked deep outside the two mountains.
They went to the royal garden to visit Duanmu Zunyue, and Chu Yu's people naturally reported to him as soon as possible.
Chu Yu looked up at the clouds outside, and suddenly remembered that he was following behind him, robbing Chu Ji of the attention in the woman's eyes.
After that, she did slowly bet all her attention on herself.
"Emperor?" Eunuch Zheng, who was serving tea, looked at Chu Yu's expression and carefully reminded him that the tea in his hand was about to be sprinkled on the fold.
Chu Yu came back to his senses, put down the teacup, and strode out of the hall.
Behind him, a group of eunuchs came to the vicinity of Jiangyun Hall.
Looking up from a high place, you can see a ruin.
The reconstruction of Jiangyun Palace was not on his whim, but he had been thinking about it for a long time!
Liu Shukuang brought a few people to the side, and wanted to confirm the drawings and the construction structure behind with the people of the Ministry of Works. Seeing that the emperor was there, the Minister of Works, Liu Shukuang and others hurried over to salute.
"Get up."
Everyone stood up and looked at Chu Yu for a moment without knowing what to say.
They knew very well who this place used to be.
When Chu Yu saw these people silent, he knew that they were afraid of saying the wrong words and offending him, so he asked coldly: "Liu Aiqing."
"I'm here."
"The drawings of the work department that built the Jiangyun Hall were destroyed, and the internal structure was nowhere to be found. All the things that could be remembered were recorded again. But I don't need the same Jiangyun Hall. I want you to recreate another Jiangyun Hall. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I am discussing this matter with the Minister of Works and specially came to inspect the former site of Jiangyun Hall. At that time, I will definitely build a brand new Jiangyun Hall for the emperor!"
Chu Yu didn't want to see the exact same Jiangyun Hall again, probably because of Duanmu Zunyue.
Chu Yu slowly clenched his fists behind him, and looked at the Jiangyun Palace from afar, and left for a long time.
Liu Shukuang looked back at the ruins with a faint expression.
...
The market in Kyoto City seems particularly lively today, as if it is facing a good day.
As the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Hua Xieying needs to investigate the household registration of the people and often comes out to walk around in person, but it is no different from the previous Censor.
He likes to run out and master some powerful things.
Only in this way can he feel safer.
"Mr. Hua, that's the carriage from Prince Qi's mansion."
While resting, the guard beside him pointed at the serene carriage lane.
Hua Xieying looked over when she heard the sound, and she saw that the person driving was the personal guard Chen Jiu beside Chu Qi.
"They seem to be in the royal garden."
The guard whispered again.
Hua Xieying took the tea in her hand and stood up and walked out, blocking the carriage.
The car stopped, the curtain was lifted, revealing Mu Jinghong's figure.
"Princess."
"Sir Xiaohua, is this?" Mu Jinghong was stunned when he saw him, glanced around and didn't see anyone behind him, as if he was out for work.
What is the so-called stopping them here?
"Just come here to greet King Xu, nothing else!"
The flowers faded and the shadow bowed to the carriage and stood open.
Mu Jinghong looked at him with a strange look, turned his head and looked at Chu Qi, who was holding his son and closing his eyes.
"Since you've met, Lord Xiaohua will just give me a look and go to the teahouse in front to sit?" Mu Jinghong pointed to the teahouse not far ahead.
Hua Xieying paused a little and nodded: "It's good."
...
In the teahouse, Chu Qi wore a hat and then entered the teahouse.
Mu Jinghong sat in the short corridor outside the private room with his son who woke up in a daze. The two of them sat and talked to each other.
Hua Xieying looked outside, and saw Mu Jinghong leaning against Chu Chen and looking at the scenery outside, he retracted his expression and said, "I guess King Qi knows it too. The Imperial Commander has changed people, and even the emperor is ordering the Ministry of Works and the Imperial Heavenly Prison to rebuild the Jiangyun Hall together."
"What does Lord Hua want to say?"
