Consort Zhanzhao

Zhao Bijia got into the sedan chair and went to the cemetery again.But somehow it's a bit uncomfortable.

There are three ways for their group to move forward, sedan chair, horseback riding, and walking.

She and Mr. Bao are sitting in the sedan chair.

Zhan Zhao was the only one riding a horse, and the rest were all walking.

Zhao Bijia looked at Zhan Zhao, who was dressed in red and could worship with just a change of hat, squinted his eyes, and jumped up.

But... I turned around and saw that there was another sedan chair!I've never felt that Mr. Bao is so intrusive!

Zhao Bijia snorted coldly, remembering that Mrs. Bao was out on tour, Zhan Zhao dressed up like this every day and rode a horse, and she became more and more upset, so she put down the curtain.

People who set such official uniforms for fourth-rank guards also hate it!

Yang He'an was waiting by her side. Seeing this, they hurried up and asked cautiously, "Princess, do you want some water?"

"No need." After finishing speaking, he remembered that Yang and An's journey had been quite hard, and said, "Next time you will come out on horseback, this journey is too hard."

Yang and An were stunned, "It's not hard, I walk like this in the palace."

The four pillars of Kaifeng mansion walked silently at the end... No one cared at all.

By the time we arrived at the cemetery, it was already too late, except for the people from Kaifeng Mansion, there was also Zhao Bijia, a master who was known as "yin and yang" in the name. Of course, she could indeed understand yin and yang, but the whole process was not very pleasant.

Then there are a few servants recruited by Gong's house. They were the ones who brought the coffin and filled the soil that day. Although they were reluctant, they still came along with hoes and other things.

After getting out of the sedan chair, Yang and An stopped the princess from going forward, and even looked at Master Bao warily.

Zhao Bijia patted him on the shoulder sadly, "Don't worry, I will take good care of you with you."

Yang He'an's face was moved, and tears even filled his eyes, but he was an honest man after all, especially when facing the princess.

"It's all thanks to the guards."

But Zhao Bijia became more and more sad. In fact, what she wanted to say was not this... There are only two ghosts in this cemetery, one has obviously been taken in by Taoist Lingyun, otherwise this little ghost would not riot, and the other... is on Mr. Bao's sleeve inside.

Unless she can attract a third ghost... Zhao Bijia shuddered and didn't dare to think about it anymore.

A few people stood outside the cemetery, which is the shed where the ghost wedding was held that day. Mr. Bao looked around and said calmly, "It doesn't seem so cold anymore?"

Mr. Gongsun stood beside Mr. Bao, nodded, and said: "That's true, it must be nothing serious."

Master Bao nodded, "Let's start then." After finishing speaking, he calmly ordered Zhan Zhao, "I don't need to bother Zhan's guards for such things, you just protect the princess."

The servants started with shovels, hoes and other things. They were all new tombs, and they were not big tombs, but the earth was rammed a bit firmer, and they were dug up in a short while.

Zhao Bijia couldn't help but glanced at Bao Zheng. These people were reluctant when they went out, but now they are working so hard... Although Master Bao has an upright face, she feels that Master Bao expected all of this.

It's the second of the hour, that is, two o'clock in the afternoon. It seems that there is plenty of time, but don't forget that this is in the mountains, and there will be no sunshine at five o'clock in the afternoon, but they have a lot of work to do.

Digging the tomb—opening the museum—autopsy. If something goes wrong in this step, the coffin of Miss Gao will be carried to Yizhuang, and then the cemetery will be buried.

So move a little slower, it will be dark when we go down the mountain.

There have been ghosts here twice, and they were haunted in broad daylight, let alone at night...Zhao Bijia trembled, and saw Mr. Bao looked up at the sky, "It's about time."

Miss Gao's coffin was carried up immediately.

It's just that the people carrying the coffin looked at each other in blank dismay, and said hesitantly, "This coffin seems to be a little heavy?"

The person in charge is still introducing to Mr. Gongsun, "...five-color soil, five-color grain, five emperors' money, by the way, this is mercury. The Feng Shui master said that the auspicious time for dark marriage is daytime. The coffin is under the soil and the sun is not seen again. Alright, let's use some mercury to nourish Yin Qi."

Mr. Gongsun nodded, and said to Mr. Bao: "There is indeed such a saying."

The coffin had already been placed on the ground, and the servants looked around, a little afraid to make a move.

"That's it?" The manager glanced at Zhao Bijia, "Don't you invite this girl to practice?"

Zhao Bijia rolled her eyes in the cloak, I'll invite another ghost to figure out who's who!

"No need." Zhan Zhao stepped forward, drew out the Juque sword, and wanted to pry the coffin.

Zhao Bijia, Yang Hean, one on the left and one on the right stopped him at the same time.Yang and An Lan's people, Zhao Bijia directly grabbed Zhan Zhao's arm.

The arms are strong and powerful.

Zhao Bijia hesitated for a while, and then saw Zhan Zhao's eyes, but he just raised his head and glanced, then quickly lowered his head, making it hard for people to see what he meant.

Then Zhao Bijia felt that the muscles under her hands began to beat unconsciously. Zhao Bijia tasted it carefully, it seemed to be the brachioradialis?Until the arm felt a little struggling.

Zhao Bijia let go of his hand, still not satisfied, and said: "Guard Zhan has a famous sword in his hand, so I'm afraid it will be overkill."

But her real thought is this: It's already my sword... You can't touch strange things!

Fortunately, there were still four gateposts following, Wang Chao came up and handed over the saber, and said, "Try this."

The knife was inserted along the gap in the middle of the coffin. Although the two sides were made of wood, it made a screeching sound as it rubbed against each other. The timid steward immediately jumped behind Mr. Gongsun and said, "Be careful!"

Zhan Zhao poured his internal energy into it, and the Kaifeng mansion's knife was really good, and chopped off the seven nails one by one.

Mr. Gongsun kept frowning, looking at the nails on the coffin, he pointed and asked, "Why are all the nails nailed in?"

The steward looked at the coffin, thought for a long time and said, "The coffin was crucified when it was brought from Yizhuang."

Master Bao asked, "What's the point?"

"There are seven nails on the coffin, and the last one can only be nailed in half. It is to leave a guide for the seven days when the soul returns."

Zhao Bijia had never heard of such things, she was a little curious and a little scared, but she couldn't stop hearing it.

After the seven nails were pried, the strong men saw that nothing strange happened, so they pushed the shovel into the crack of the coffin under the urging of the steward, and with such unanimous force, the lid was lifted.

Someone boldly leaned forward to take a look, and immediately fell to the ground in fright, "Ghost!" shouted while hiding.

Master Bao frowned, raised his foot and walked forward, Mr. Gongsun followed closely behind, and the rest of the people also followed.

Yang and An were still standing in front of the princess, "Princess should stop looking at such dirty things."

Zhao Bijia glanced at him sadly, don't you know that human imagination is endless... If you let me take a look, I will stop thinking about it, and besides, he calls me a mother...

Yang and An had been by Zhao Bijia's side since childhood, but with just one look, he knew what the princess wanted to do, so he gritted his teeth and drew out the mahogany sword, blocking half of the princess's body, and they also reached the side of the coffin.

The one lying inside is Miss Gao.

The whole person is lifelike, the pinch mark on the neck has turned black, and the belly is raised high, it looks like... having a child and becoming a ghost again.

Seeing this, Zhao Bijia breathed a sigh of relief, anyway, this is considered to have a result.

Because the Gong family wanted Miss Gao, who was a good match for their dead son, they took the opportunity to kill her, and called the surname Xu to take the blame.

As a result, Miss Gao was full of resentment after her death, and even the unborn child in her stomach became a ghost, almost killing everyone in the Gong family.

No... after Miss Gao was taken in, this brat killed everyone in the Gong family, but still left a few people in the Gong family...

Zhao Bijia remembered what the old lady of the Gong family said just now, that the two children had been with their mother all the time, and it must be because of this that they escaped unharmed.

She breathed a sigh of relief, this matter should be over.

I just couldn't help but think about Taoist Lingyun again, although it was a good thing for him to accept the fierce ghost transformed by Miss Gao, but the follow-up...why didn't he care about it at all.

Although it was the emperor's order to let Taoist priest Lingyun go back to Beijing together, more than ten days have passed since Taoist priest Lingyun arrived at the Summer Resort, and then when his father drove back to the palace.

Besides, this female ghost was rescued by Taoist Lingyun. Didn't he realize that this female ghost has a ghost son?

Zhao Bijia frowned, and comforted herself, maybe he really didn't know?Besides, Master Bao had to go through all these troubles to open the coffin to take a look. He is only a Taoist priest, so it is even more difficult.

But no matter how she thought about it, she really didn't have a good impression of Taoist Lingyun.

The coffin over there has been sealed again, but this time there are no nails, only a circle of hemp rope is tied around the top.

According to Taoist Lingyun, if he becomes a ghost, it is better to burn it, otherwise there will be changes later.

Moreover, when the steward came out, the old lady of the Gong family also gave orders that they didn't dare to take this person anymore, so Miss Gao's body was completely taken over by Mrs. Bao.

The case was finally settled, everyone felt much more relaxed, and immediately restored the tomb as it was, and carried the coffin down the mountain.

Zhao Bijia returned to the palace, thinking that the matter was finally over.

Yue Ruo waited for her to wash, and asked cautiously, "It's been almost ten days, if the princess is almost fine, it's time to go back to Beijing."

Zhao Bijia sat up from the bathtub, "Go back to Beijing! Hurry back to Beijing!"

Yue Ruo was very happy, and said: "Go and tell them to pack their things in a while!"

After washing up, Zhao Bijia came out after changing into loose clothes, and saw Yang He'an glaring at Zhan Zhao. Yang and An were still holding a food box in their hands, which contained her dinner.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Bijia felt so comfortable after taking a shower that even her voice was soft.

Yang and An snorted, and came over to serve the princess with dinner.

Zhao Bijia was almost relaxed to the extreme, and there was a hint of a smile in her voice, "Could it be that the guard Zhan wants to grab food from you?"

Yang and An nodded.

Zhao Bijia went to visit Zhan Zhao again, but saw him smile wryly, acquiescing to this statement.

Zhao Bijia laughed out loud, and stretched out her hand to beckon, "Go and bring some more food." Then he asked Zhan Zhao, "I'm going back to the palace in two days, and when I go back, you won't be able to eat the food from the Summer Resort." something."

Although there was no expression on Zhan Zhao's face, it took him a long time to speak, "Master Bao ordered his subordinates to tell the princess that the case here is over, and we can leave at any time."

Can we stop talking about Master Bao?

Perhaps it was Zhan Zhao who saw Zhao Bijia's inner voice, so he took the initiative to change the subject.

"Case closed."

ah?I don't want to talk about this either.

"Miss Gao's body has just been burned." Zhan Zhao told the relevant people all over again, "Although the man surnamed Xu was not guilty of murder, he injured others first, so the sentence was changed to exile. Gong Qing is the murderer of Miss Gao. It’s just that the person is already dead, Master Bao ordered the Gong family to pay money according to the law, and only waits to find Miss Gao’s parents. The Feng Shui master involved in the incident, and the matchmaker who leaked Miss Gao’s horoscope, etc., will all be punished."

Zhao Bijia hummed, "Master Bao is doing things properly, and my father is very relieved." After asking, he couldn't help it, and asked very seriously: "Where's the kid called your father?"

Zhan Zhao was obviously taken aback, with an unnatural expression on his face, "Master Bao sent him to the underworld."

Zhao Bijia was very happy seeing Zhan Zhao's appearance, and thought he was being teased by herself.But...if she knew what Zhan Zhao was thinking, she might jump her feet.

Because just now such a picture appeared in Zhan Zhao's mind.

Lord Bao lay flat on the bed in official uniform, with the Youxian pillow, one of the three treasures of Kaifeng Mansion, under his head, holding the handle of the ancient yin and yang mirror in his hand, folded his hands on his chest, and fell into a deep sleep.

Anyway, no matter how you look at it, it feels weird.

Zhao Bijia felt a little complacent, and suddenly frowned slightly, and asked: "You said Lord Bao can also subdue the ghost, and also send the ghost to the underworld...Why did Taoist Lingyun take Miss Gao's ghost back then?"

Zhan Zhao was at a loss for words...for a long while he didn't know what to think of, and suddenly said: "I'll ask him." Then he flew out of the room.

Zhao Bijia didn't expect this ending at all, she subconsciously looked back at Yang and An: Why do I feel that Zhan Zhao is a little nervous?

The palace maid came in with something, and looked at the princess who was gnashing her teeth, "This thing?"

Zhao Bijia narrowed his eyes, "Food can't be wasted, send someone to send it to him, and send it with great fanfare."

Let you hide from me.

Zhao Bijia didn't go out for the next two days, and ordered the maids and eunuchs to pack up. After she left, the summer resort had to be sealed again, leaving only the cleaning and patrolling personnel, waiting for the emperor to come back next year.

Master Bao also came twice during the period, but he didn't see Zhan Zhao. Zhao Bijia was a little discouraged at first, but after waiting for two days and not seeing him, she couldn't help but hold back her anger again, and only waited for Zhan Zhao to happen.

Another day passed, the weather was clear and the sky was just dawn, but at [-]:[-] a.m., a group of people from Kaifeng Mansion, as well as the guards left by the emperor, escorted Zhao Bijia back to the capital.

There was nothing to say on the road, it was late summer and early autumn, the weather was fine, and the road went smoothly, except that Zhan Zhao started hiding from the princess again, everything else was perfect.

After walking for two days, Zhao Bijia returned to the palace.

Concubine Zhang Guifei was waiting at the gate of the palace. When she saw her daughter coming back, she was almost moved to tears. She took her hand and said non-stop, "I'm thinner and darker."

She admits that she's black, but how can she tell if she's thin? It's just staying for ten days longer. Even if it's a serious weight loss...it won't be able to see the thinness after ten days.

After Zhang Guifei said a few words, she dragged her back to the palace, dismissed her left and right, and said cautiously and mysteriously: "Your father is going to make your younger brother the crown prince."

"Ah?" Didn't you mean that he was afraid that he would not be able to hold back because of his poor health?

Concubine Zhang Guifei looked happy, "It is said that Taoist Lingyun told his fortune for him, that he is the reincarnation of a real dragon. The bad health in front of him is not because he can't suppress the blessings, but because there are too few blessings. If he is named the prince, he should be alright."

Zhao Bijia frowned, Taoist Lingyun's behavior... is really confusing.

"By the way, you can't be called a Taoist priest now, you have to be called a Taoist leader! Your father rewarded him with a gymnasium and made him a national teacher."

"This is impossible!" Zhao Bijia jumped up in shock, "Don't lure my father to practice alchemy. Look at which emperor has succeeded in this since ancient times?"

As soon as the words fell, Emperor Renzong's laughter was heard, "I heard that my princess is back?"

Concubine Zhang Gui gave her a warning look, pulled her up, and said with a smile, "I just came back and said I missed you."

Emperor Renzong laughed twice, "I miss you too!"

Zhao Bijia stepped forward to salute, and heard Emperor Renzong say exactly the same words as Concubine Zhang, "He's dark and thin, how does Bao Zheng do things! I'll scold him later!"

Zhao Bijia suddenly burst into tears, she said: "Father...the Taoist priest..." After thinking for a long time, she couldn't think of any suitable and euphemistic words, so she said directly: "Alchemy is not so easy. The first Emperor Qin Shihuang sent Xu Fu to sea, but he didn’t succeed, and Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty, it is said that he even asked for longevity grass from the Queen Mother of the West, and finally—”

"You child! What nonsense!" Zhang Guifei hurriedly interrupted her, and pulled her to kneel down again.

Renzong's face changed a little, and he said after a while: "Get up."

Concubine Zhang Guifei had served the emperor for many years, so she could naturally hear how unhappy the emperor was in his tone, so she was about to pull her to kowtow.

"She's still young, it's because I didn't teach her well—"

Halfway through speaking, Emperor Renzong suddenly raised his hand to help Zhao Bijia up, and then came to pull Concubine Zhang.He said: "I know... I read history books when I was a child, and I saw so many people who asked for celestial grass and elixir, but none of them succeeded..."

Renzong said hesitantly, "It's just that I'm old, and Xuan'er is still so young." He suddenly smiled, "Don't worry, the Taoist also said that you can only prolong life, not immortality."

Zhao Bijia finally released the anger that was pent up in her chest.

"You can't eat the elixir he made!"

Renzong smiled, "He just taught me some Taoist breathing techniques for nourishing qi, and said that I am afraid that I don't have much kung fu to practice, and it probably won't have any effect, but he is real."

Zhao Bijia couldn't help feeling a little ashamed, but the way this Taoist priest did things really made people feel uneasy, and he had to blame himself if he was misunderstood.

Melancholy appeared on Renzong's face again, and he looked at Zhao Bijia, "I have to reward you with something. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, as well as the concubines in the harem, the royal clan, the only one who dares to tell me that is you gone."

"Then I have to think about it." Zhao Bijia laughed, and glanced at her father secretly, but Emperor Renzong was also looking at her, and asked with a smile: "Have you thought about it?"

Zhao Bijia shook her head lightly, "There is nothing missing."

Wanting to reveal this kind of thing... I can't say it...

Renzong thought for a while, and said: "In this case, since Xuan'er is canonized as the crown prince, why don't you all be canonized together?"

Zhao Bijia went in without knowing it, and looked at Renzong expectantly.

Renzong asked with a smile, "Want to know?"

Zhao Bijia shook her head at first glance, just to tease her, "I'm waiting for a surprise."

Renzong laughed twice, "It must be a surprise!" He said to Concubine Zhang: "I'll come back at night." Then he went out again.

Zhang Guifei breathed a sigh of relief, "I was really scared to death just now." Then she looked at Zhao Bijia, "What do you think your father wants to confer on you?"

Within two days, the answer was revealed.

The first is the position of prince, Zhao Xuan was canonized as prince, but although the decree has been issued, the official ceremony will not be held until an auspicious day.

Secondly, Zhao Bijia got a new title, Princess Qing was added to Princess Zhen Guo.

Ming Yi conferred a Fukang princess, and Yun Yan Jin a birthday princess.

After that came the harem rewards, Ming Yi's biological mother Miao family became the imperial concubine, and Yunyan's biological mother Zhou family became the imperial concubine.

The last one is to make Taoist Lingyun a national teacher.However, mixed in this series of Jin seals, especially the seal of the prince, no one really noticed.

As soon as the news came out, Zhao Mingyi, the recent Princess of Fukang, dropped two sets of tea sets in the palace, the first-class tea sets from the official kiln, one with swimming fish pattern, and the other with flower and bird pattern.

Even with a rich family background, the Miao family who just became a noble concubine felt a little distressed, and she was still a little irritable, so she couldn't help complaining, "Throwing your own things? Why don't you break hers."

This she, of course, refers to Zhao Bijia.

This sentence was not meant to persuade people, Zhao Mingyi became more and more angry, "I am her elder sister! Everything is behind her, and until now I don't even have a head on my title. Could it be that this eldest princess will also be in the future?" It's impossible to seal it to her!"

"There is also this title. Back then, my father started as Qing Guogong, and gave her the title of Qing Guo! She deserves it too!"

"It will be fine in the future," Concubine Miao persuaded, "Etiquette and morality are things that your father and emperor can't get over. Besides, now that I have also made a noble concubine, I can sit on an equal footing with her. You are her sister, how can you still be accepted?" She pressed it down."

"Pull it down." Ming Yi sneered, "Zhao Xuan has already made the crown prince, who can get past the two of them?"

Concubine Miao Gui sighed, stood up and said: "It's fine to throw things, don't be too ostentatious."

After the conferring ceremony, Zhao Bijia went to look for Concubine Zhang Gui, fearing that she might feel unhappy, but Concubine Zhang Guifei was doing as usual, and there was nothing unusual about her.

Concubine Zhang smiled, "Your father told me that the child in Concubine Pang's belly will come out next spring, and Grand Master Pang is deeply involved in the court. If a son is born by then... Your father thinks Then she simply became the imperial concubine first, and then made the crown prince, blocking her way."

Only then did Zhao Bijia heave a sigh of relief, and felt that she was indeed not a member of Gongdou Gua. She couldn't figure out how to achieve her goal through such a detour.

Zhao Bijia nodded, and suddenly said: "Then my brother..."

Concubine Zhang patted her, "Your father has arranged for someone to protect you. Besides, it is not certain whether Concubine Pang will have a son or not. Even if she is born, it is not a matter of raising a son. Besides, Concubine Pang herself is very young." It's so big, it's the first child again. Sigh..." Concubine Zhang Guifei sighed, making Zhao Bijia feel a little cold.

The news quickly spread to Kaifeng Mansion.

Zhan Zhao was wiping his Juque sword over and over again with deerskin, when Ma Han suddenly barged in and said, "Princess has been promoted again, Princess Qingguo Zhenguo."

Zhan Zhao hummed, and didn't even change the frequency of wiping his sword.

Ma Han looked at it for a while, then came out a little listless, and said to the other three: "Nothing unusual."

Several people sighed.

Zhan Zhao in the room suddenly stopped his movements, looked down, and saw that the deerskin in his hand had been cut in half by the sword.He put the Juque sword away, got up and walked out of the house, looked at the four gateposts of Kaifeng mansion and smiled slightly.

"I'm afraid I have to go back to my hometown for the New Year. Mr. Gongsun once said that he wants to teach you some martial arts. Why don't you start today!"

In short, the four pillars almost lost their waist afterwards, and Ma Han was the most.
