Yang Lianxin walked out of the main hall of Lanting Palace, and saw her cronies outside at a glance, she stroked the folds on her sleeves, and said to the palace slave of Lanting Hall outside, "The princess is injured, she is asleep at this time, none of you should startle her, in addition, today's sacrifice does not want her to go, let the princess take care of it, just say that it is my meaning."

The palace slaves all agreed to the promise, and naturally they only dared to stay outside quietly.
Yang Lianxin walked out from under the eaves, and first saw the gloomy weather outside, the wind was shouting, and the black clouds on the horizon were rolling in, seeing that half of the sky was about to be filled, she frowned and said a little depressed, "What's going on, but the weather is getting worse and worse at this moment, and it is going to rain, how is the fire festival at night?"
Although it was only close to You, the weather was dark and gloomy as if it was about to get dark, I don't know what to think, the dissatisfaction on Yang Lian's heart faded by two points, and she glanced at the closed hall door again, she turned around and walked towards the outside of Lanting Palace.
Yang Lianxin is the lord of Changyi Palace, most of the weekdays are Feng Nianzhi to Changyi Palace to ask for peace, she took the initiative to come to Lanting Hall very rarely, today is also because she wants to send Feng Nianzhi back, and she has not appeared for so long, it is time to go to the scene of the ceremony to see, when she walked out of the outer door of Lanting Palace, Yang Lianxin glanced around but her expression sank slightly, and she turned around and glanced at the attendant behind her as she walked, "Isn't it that it is just a slight anger that will not hurt people? !"
Although Yang Lianxin's voice was small, but the words were full of anger, the attendant shook his whole person when he heard it, but he didn't dare to say a word, Yang Lianxin took a deep breath, obviously restraining his anger, "Fortunately, it's only a little injury, otherwise it's ......."
Yang Lianxin didn't say anything else, but the attendant understood, his face turned pale and lowered his head, Yang Lianxin hurriedly walked a few steps forward, and suddenly paused, and turned his head to look at the handmaid with a beautiful face, "Everything has been handled?"
The maidservant nodded hurriedly, "Madame, don't worry, the princess is completely unaware and has taken care of everything." ”
Yang Lianxin breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and took another step forward to look in the direction of the Weiyang Hall in the distance, "The spring banquet of this Shu Kingdom is like an iron law that cannot be changed every year, but I haven't seen any good luck in the Shu Kingdom." ”
This soft murmur could only be heard by the attendant standing behind her, and the attendant only hung his head quietly when he heard the words, and didn't dare to say a word, Yang Lian's heart straightened, and her voice was correct, "How is the sacrifice over there?"
"I just learned the news, because of the sudden change in the weather, the king ordered the fire sacrifice to start immediately. ”
Yang Lian's brows suddenly furrowed when she heard this, as if she had encountered some kind of predicament, "Start the fire festival immediately? The auspicious time has not yet arrived, aren't you afraid that the heavens will think that we are disrespectful if we start the fire festival now?"
It was Feng Qin's order, how could this servant dare to say more, Yang Lianxin clenched her fists for a moment, and her footsteps suddenly accelerated towards Weiyang Palace.
At this time, there was chaos on the edge of Weiyang Lake, the wind was blowing, the flags were blown to the side, the curtains on both sides of the viewing corridor were rolled up, and most of the dependents sitting in the corridor were cold, even so, no one dared to walk around without Feng Qin's order, and these ladies and ladies from the nobles of the family were all sitting in danger, but they were crying bitterly in their hearts.
Among the aristocratic ladies, Zhu Yan sat the most upright, and the expressions of others were anxious, but she didn't seem to care much, only looked down at her hand wrapped in white yarn from time to time, she hurt her hand during practice yesterday, and she couldn't stroke the piano anymore today, and missed an excellent opportunity to perform in front of Shang Jue, so Zhu Qin still had a lot of resentment towards her, but she herself had a very good attitude.
"Miss, this weather is really strange, I don't know how long it will take after the festival is over?"
The maid whispered softly beside her, Zhu Yan came back to her senses and looked up, most of the ladies and ladies around her had a sad face, yes, under such weather, when did these women born into the nobility suffer this kind of sin? Zhu Yan shook her head, "Didn't you say that there will be a fire sacrifice later? It should be soon, we will wait here." ”
The maid leaned over and gathered the gauze clothes on Zhu Yan's body, "It's just that it's too cold to sit here, the weather is already gloomy, what if it rains later, Miss was only injured yesterday, what if she is infected with typhoid fever again today?"
Zhu Yan smiled, "Where will I be infected with typhoid fever casually?"
The maid looked resentful, "Hmph, Miss is weak, and she is not careful, she was a good caress yesterday, but she didn't know how to panic and hurt her hand, if Miss is in trouble, Childe must punish the slave, and Miss will be said by Childe." ”
Zhu Yan smiled even more helplessly, and patted the handmaid's hand, "Okay, don't worry, I won't get typhoid fever today, and my brother won't punish you, if my brother says you, I'll reward you privately." ”
The maid was even more annoyed when she heard this, "What does Miss mean by this, is the slave only afraid that he will be punished, the slave is all concerned about the body of the young lady, but the young lady does not appreciate it, besides, today is a great opportunity for the young lady to perform, but now it is like this...... Don't you think it's a pity, Miss?" said the maidservant, glancing over the lake, and saw that the fleet was approaching this dock very slowly, so she bent down again and said in a lower voice, "It's easy to perform in front of Yan Shizi today." ”
Zhu Yan smiled lightly when she heard this, and her brows were slightly wrinkled together, and when the maid saw this, she only thought that she was also starting to worry, and couldn't help but sigh again, "But don't worry, Miss, Childe said, your matter is already a certainty, and you will definitely go to Yan Kingdom." Saying this, the maid pursed her lips again and said, "Speaking of which, even if you can go to Yan Guonu, you will not be upset...... Looking at the whole Baling, when it comes to the female Miss Delai, how can someone say first, you have known etiquette since you were a child, you are good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and you are so good-looking, no matter how you look at it, you can be the wife of the prince, but you only became a concubine......"
Only the last sentence of the maid has been like a mosquito, of course, this is not what she can say as a slave, but in the end, she still hasn't held back, her master is a concubine, then she is the slave of the concubine, how can it be compared with the wife of the prince?
Zhu Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, "Yes, why do I want to be a concubine?"
She was in a trance, and her voice was not deliberately suppressed, and the maid was so frightened that her face changed and hurried to see if everyone around her heard it, and she was relieved to see that the people around her were tortured by the cold wind and did not care about this, "My good young lady, this matter has not yet been announced to the world, can you say this yourself, nor can you reveal the slightest intention of not wanting to go." ”
Zhu Yan came back to her senses, unimpressed by the handmaid's nervousness, shook her head and said no more.
Seeing this, the maid coaxed again, "Today's marriage between Yan Shizi and Princess Shaoguang has been decided, I think I will announce that Miss is going to be a maid in the near future, Miss likes to go to the piano hall to learn the piano, let's go more from tomorrow, okay?"
Speaking of this, Zhu Yan's eyebrows froze, and she didn't know what to think of, and nodded with a slight smile.
The maidservant girl saw that she was coaxed, her face was relaxed, and she raised her eyes to look, but saw that the fleet seemed to be still in place, their promenade was already some distance away from the wharf, and Weiyang Lake was very large, the fleet had just left the center of the river not far away, so it looked even farther, and then turned to see the altar, the flames burning in the original bronze tripod on the altar had been half-extinguished at the moment, only occasionally saw two beams of sparks rushing up at the mouth of the ding, and there were warlocks holding the salute flags on the side, as if blessing the fire......
"Miss, this year's spring banquet is really not going well. ”
Zhu Yan also nodded, "It's obviously an auspicious day......"
The maid looked up at the increasingly gloomy weather, "Where is this auspicious day, Qin Tianjian is becoming more and more inactive." ”
Zhu Yan glanced back at the maidservant, and the maidservant also knew that she had lost her words, so she hurriedly lowered her head.
It was this moment of silence, and there was a sudden exclamation at the other end of the corridor, Zhu Yan frowned and looked at the place where the sound came from, only to see that many people at the closest end of the corridor to the lake stood up from their seats, and they all hugged the railing to look towards the center of the lake, Zhu Yan squinted her eyes, swept her eyes to the center of the lake, but she didn't see anything abnormal, and the maid behind her also looked at it suspiciously, but only saw that the boat walking in front was very close to the dock, and only the boat behind was a little farther away.
"Miss, what's the matter?"
Zhu Yan shook her head, "I don't know what they're looking at, I can't see what the sacrifice on the lake looks like from such a distance." After a slight pause, Zhu Yan said with some hesitation, "It seems that something happened?"
Although Zhu Yan didn't see anything abnormal, but the exclamations over there continued, Zhu Yan's heart jumped, and she subconsciously got up and walked towards the crowd, walking through many empty seats along the way, almost the entire audience gathered together because of those exclamations, and when Zhu Yan walked to her, there were already many people in front of her, and she couldn't squeeze in front of her at all.
"What's going on, it's not like we're wrong......"
"It's not wrong! Something's wrong, there's an accident!"
"Today's spring feast is going to have a big event......"
The exclamation in front continued, Zhu Yan became nervous when she heard it, and what was even more strange was that everyone suddenly stopped shouting and talking, and only the horror of holding her breath was left on her face, and Zhu Yan's heart suddenly jumped suddenly.
The maid next to her was also very curious when she heard this, and saw that Zhu Yan looked like she wanted to go ahead, and squeezed over first, Zhu Yan immediately followed, and the two squeezed all the way from the middle of the crowd to the front, and when the last person was removed, Zhu Yan's vision suddenly opened up, and the perspective here was completely different from where she was in Shicai, and the fleet on Weiyang Lake appeared in her field of vision in an oblique queue, and it was at this time that she knew the reason why so many people were shocked......
On the windy Weiyang Lake, more than a dozen large ships were moving slowly, but one at the end of the queue stopped in place.
Not only did it stop there, but it sank......
