Chapter 1135 Fourth Master Has Already Instructed
He was also abolished, and the number of court ladies in his hand was also reduced to two.
And, for unknown reasons, it disappeared in the second year.
When she was finally buried, she was downgraded to one level and was buried under the system of imperial concubine.
As for the reason, it sounds very absurd.
It is said that after Qianlong went south, he searched for flowers and asked willows, and indulged in several brothel women. The queen persuaded him a few words, Qianlong was not willing to be swayed by a woman, so he was abolished like that.
Oh, she sneered in her heart.
The profession of queen sounds lofty.
In fact, if there is no emperor's favor, I am afraid that even ordinary concubines are inferior.
Noble or not, it all depends on the emperor's thought.
However, fourth master is not Qianlong.
Besides, Qianlong in this life doesn't know which rock crevice he is in.
And she is not some Huifanara family, let alone an abolished empress, she is just grounded.
Therefore, those who harmed her are not dead, how can she die so easily!
No matter how hard the life in Taimiao is, she will endure until the day she returns to Yongshou Palace and slap those people in the face!
After a while, Ruoyin and the others walked to Taimiao.
Seen from a distance, Taimiao is a rectangular building.
After approaching, it has triple vermilion walls.
There are three front, middle and back halls to form a three-story closed courtyard.
Yellow glazed tile roof, yellow and green glazed bucket arches and architraves under the eaves.
Under the vermilion wall is a white marble xumizuo.
The main hall of the Taimiao stands in the center of the entire Taimiao complex, eleven rooms wide and four rooms deep.
The roof of the hall has double eaves, a three-layered white marble Xumizuo-style platform, and stone guardrails around it.
The main beams in the hall are covered with agarwood, and other building components are all precious golden nanmu.
The ceiling and pillars are pasted with red gold flowers, which are exquisitely made and luxuriously decorated.
There are fifteen side halls on each side of the main hall. The east side hall enshrines the gods of meritorious royal families in the past dynasties, and the west side hall enshrines the gods of meritorious officials with different surnames.
After Ruoyin followed the guards into the palace, Rushuang whispered beside her: "Madam, why didn't the slave see the former prince's seat?"
"Those who are disloyal as ministers and unfilial as sons are not allowed to enter the temple." She whispered back.
The former prince committed the crime of treason, so naturally he is not worthy of enjoying the Taimiao.
Even if he was a member of the royal family and was buried as a prince, that would not work.
However, some people who have made great contributions to the imperial court, even if they are not members of the royal family, can still enjoy the Taimiao.
And here is also the place where every emperor held the ancestor worship ceremony.
Usually, on big days of festivals, fourth master would worship ancestors here before dawn.
After Ruoyin walked around the main hall, there was the middle hall and the apse.
The middle and back halls are all nine halls on the top of the yellow glazed tile veranda. The middle hall is the sleeping hall, and the back hall is the temple.
In addition, there are also buildings such as the divine kitchen, the divine library, the slaughtering pavilion, and the slaughterhouse.
The Taimiao is famous for its ancient cypress trees, which are hundreds of years old and are in various poses and with different expressions, vigorous and ancient.
The triple platform foundation outside the hall is surrounded by white marble railings, and the front of the platform royal road is engraved with dragon aragonite, lion pattern stone and sea animal stone in sequence.
The girders in the hall are made of agarwood, and the rest are made of golden silk elm.
The floor is paved with gilt gold bricks, and the ceiling and four pillars are covered with red gold leaves.
The hall originally enshrined a wooden and gold-lacquered god seat, with a dragon carved on the emperor seat and a phoenix carved on the back seat.
There are offerings, incense cases and copper stoves in front of the seat.
In the side halls on both sides, there are tablets of the royal family and heroes.
As well as large and small altars, copper lamps, copper sacrificial vessels, etc.
I don't know if it's because of the ranking of each seat.
It is still a large area of trees around the Taimiao.
Anyway, after Ruoyin entered the Taimiao, in addition to feeling majestic, there was also a solemn and serious atmosphere from the inside out.
After the guards led her into an arched door, a lama in a red robe stepped forward and saluted Ruoyin.
Here, no one thinks that she is going downhill now, so they look down on her.
As long as she is still a queen, she can get the respect she deserves.
Seeing this, Ruoyin clasped his hands together, straightened his palms and fingers, slightly bowed the back of his palms, and slightly bent his palms, which should be like a tower.
He bowed his head slightly and returned to the other party, expressing his inner respect.
Then, she heard the guard say to the lama: "Master, during the empress's confinement, I will trouble you, and please arrange a courtyard for the empress."
The lama nodded slightly, and said to Ruoyin calmly, "Queen, please follow me."
Ruoyin gave a faint "Yes" and followed the lama away.
After the guards handed her over to the lama, they left the Taimiao.
Then, Ruoyin followed the lama to a courtyard.
It was a low Tibetan-style flat-roofed courtyard. A fence was built around it, and a row of green bamboo branches were planted under the fence.
In the middle of the yard is a flower bed covered with green moss.
It's just that there isn't a single flower in it, it's all chipped flowerpots, overgrown with tangled weeds.
After entering the hall, Ruoyin found that the light in the room was very dim.
Spider webs can be seen everywhere in the sky.
There is a black Eight Immortals table with paint peeling off in the room.
And four uneven spring stools.
Also on the table are a pair of brass candlesticks and a pair of brass snips for cutting the wicks.
Immediately afterwards, Ruoyin followed the lama into the inner room.
If the hall is dark, then the interior can be described as dark.
Even though it is broad daylight, the room is so dark that you can hardly see your fingers.
Only a little sunlight came in from the window through the shadow of the tree.
And in the wisps of sunlight, you can see a layer of dust floating in the air.
After the lama lit the candles, Ruoyin saw a simple wooden bed in the room, which was very narrow.
If compared with the bed in Yongshou Palace, it is only half as wide.
There is also a washing stand and a washbasin with peeling paint.
And some rotting top chests.
Ruoyin could see a few cockroaches crawling out of those cabinets.
These are all the furniture inside.
Anyway, wherever the eye can see, it is a scene of decay.
"Empress, the front hall is the place for offering sacrifices, the middle hall is the dormitory of our monks, and the back hall is the temple. Apart from this, the other courtyards are not separate. But the person from the emperor told you that it was you I don’t like the excitement, so let me arrange a separate courtyard for you. Although this courtyard is remote, it’s not noisy, and you can live here with peace of mind. So, I’m wronging you to stay here for a while.”
Hearing this, Ruoyin raised her eyebrows.
Not long after fourth master left, she left the Hall of Supreme Harmony, went back to Yongshou Palace to pack her things, and then came here.
But the master actually said that fourth master had already given orders.
So, after he left the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he asked someone to send a message, right?
"Okay, please excuse me, master." Ruoyin replied politely.
When she arrived just now, she also found out.
The front hall and the back hall are basically inhabited.
The nave is where the monks lived.
Although they are all practitioners, they have to be regarded as men.
It must be inconvenient for her to live there alone.
In other places, the servants who work here live, and the environment is not much better than this, and they have to squeeze the shops.
