cpa300_4(); Nian Shen walked out slowly with me, the snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, except for the corridor, a thick layer had accumulated everywhere, and the wind blew on my face like an ice blade. (Remember the latest chapters of this site for free reading)

Leaving the library and slowly walking to the front, Cai Wei was still waiting for me here, and when she saw us coming, she hurriedly greeted us: "Madam!"

I nodded slightly, signaling that I was okay.

Then I turned around and asked, "Your Highness, where is Elder Fu?"

"The teacher stayed up all night recording last night, and now he is very tired, so I ordered someone to send him back to rest. ”

"Oh. That's good. ”

I nodded, but I saw Nian Shen's big eyes looking at me without blinking, and that gaze looked a little pitiful.

I couldn't help but say, "Your Highness......"

"Aunt Qing," he stopped me, and hesitated for a long time before he said softly, "Can I still see Aunt Qing?"

I subconsciously frowned.

Before he could answer in a hurry, he saw him bow his head gently, his eyebrows were filled with unspeakable worry, and he said softly: "I know that Aunt Qing finally left here, and she must not want to come back, even the queen mother, she misses Aunt Qing so much, she didn't want to take Aunt Qing into the palace, but I miss Aunt Qing so much, I will send someone over today." ”

I looked at him gently: "Aunt Qing understands." ”

He looked up at me, "What about the future?"

“……”

"Can I still see Aunt Qing?"

His eyes are big, black and white, and he can see the clear loneliness in his clear gaze, I think he must have missed me very much over the years, otherwise, a child like him who follows the rules would not have taken me directly into the palace without his father and mother in the ward.

In the face of such thoughts about him, I felt a little guilty.

In the four years since I left, I haven't thought of him, but I haven't missed him so much, because I have found a wonderful word.

Now, in the face of this child, I am speechless, and I am even more embarrassed.

My eyes were a little red, and I smiled reluctantly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, when I left the Imperial City, I thought that I would never see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again in my life, but I didn't expect to see him again today, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has grown into an adult, knowing etiquette and etiquette, it can be seen that things in this world are like this, although the world is impermanent, but if you don't forget, there will be an echo." ”

If he had told him in the past, he would have been very emotional, but now that the child has grown up, he is indeed not so easy to fool, he still looks at me with wide eyes: "Then, can I still see Aunt Qing?"

“……”

I was silent for a moment, not speaking, and then I remembered the book I had kicked into the corner behind the door of the library.

If......

Seeing that I was hesitating, Nian Shen took another step forward and looked straight into my eyes: "Aunt Qing, I know what Aunt Qing is worried about." ”

“…… Oh?"

"Aunt Qing, don't worry," he said, gently reaching out to hold my sleeve, that look like the child who was still a little milky back then, with full trust and dependence on me, he said: "I let Aunt Qing enter the palace, and I will definitely let Aunt Qing leave safely." ”

“……”

"I promise!"

It turned out that he also understood the worries in my heart.

Actually, everyone probably understood, otherwise the eunuch who came to pick me up today would not have said those things to me in private after I rejected him.

Actually, I don't really believe it.

It's not that I don't believe in him, it's just that I don't have complete confidence in him yet.

After all, this imperial city, this person who speaks in the world is not the prince of the country, the future supreme, and even, when I enter the palace today, I don't think Pei Yuanhao may not know, but he just turns a blind eye, after all, in his identity and me, as well as today's situation, he is not willing to tear his face with me, otherwise, according to his past actions, I would have been locked up in an unknown place in the palace today.

So—

I thought about it, looked at Nian Shen with a smile, and said, "Your Highness misses me so much, I'm really moved. If Your Highness really wants to see me again, if next time, His Highness's people can pick me up at my house, I will come again. ”

Nian Shen was stunned by what I said, but reacted immediately.

A smile suddenly bloomed on that face: "I understand!"

I smiled and patted him lightly on the shoulder, feeling that he was still too thin, so I said softly: "Your Highness has grown up, but why is he still so thin." Your Highness should pay more attention to her body, if there is any calamity, Aunt Qing will also be sad. ”

When he heard this, he hurriedly said, "I know, I'll take good care." ”

I smiled and gently patted him on the shoulder.

When I raised my head again, the snow outside was getting tighter and tighter, and the time for me to leave was almost up, Nian Shen reluctantly pulled my sleeve and sent me to the door of Jixian Palace, because the wind and snow outside were too big, I insisted on not letting him out, and he listened to me, stood in the gate, and watched us leave all the way.

On the long steps, there were some thin footprints of me and Cai Wei, and when we got into the carriage and lifted the curtain to look up, we could still see the emaciated figure standing at the door of the main hall, the wind and snow were raging, but he stood still, like an ice sculpture.

The carriage eventually drove out.

When I got home, Yang Jinyao had already left, but she left a message before leaving, asking Shui Xiu and them to send someone to report to her after I returned home safely.

After I knew, I asked Du Yan to send someone to do it, and then went back to the house by myself.

Although the carriage sent by Nian Shen was very warm and comfortable, but after all, it was a trip back and forth on a snowy day, plus I pretended to have something in my heart, the whole person was still cold, as soon as I entered the house, Shui Xiu also came to serve, she saw Cai Wei untie the thick wind from my shoulder, and a piece of snow foam fell on the ground, which immediately turned into water, and hurriedly came forward: "Girl, I heard that someone from the palace took you away." ”

"Hmm. ”

I nodded, not in the mood to speak for a while, walked over to the table and sat down, and said, "Give me a cup of tea." ”

She hurriedly poured a cup of hot tea and put it in my hand, and asked, "Yes, is it the emperor?"

"No, Sister Shuixiu. Cai Wei shook the wind beside her, hung it on the shelf next to the bed, and turned around and said, "It's the prince, His Royal Highness the prince." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?!"

Shui Xiu was startled for a moment, and looked back at me again: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took the girl into the palace?"

I took a sip of water, the warm water in the cold body had the illusion of being as hot as red charcoal, and when I swallowed it, my whole body trembled, and finally I had a little consciousness, I nodded: "I just went to Jixian Hall to meet him." ”

"Oh......"

Shui Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.

I said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has grown up. ”

Shui Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and also came over to help Cai Wei clean up, then hesitated, looked back at me, and said, "At that time, the girl left, and he was sad for a long time. ”

I looked at her and immediately turned back again, busy back, and fell silent for a while.

After a while, hot soup and rice came from the kitchen, and I washed my hands and sat down to pick up the dishes. People are hungry in cold weather, and I am no exception, but my chest is a little stuffy, and after a few bites of food, I can't eat.

I had planned to wait until I had eaten and rested quietly in the house by myself, but since I left the palace gates, the words in the living notes have been hovering in my mind.

And what I miss the most is the western suburbs, Chongyun Pavilion.

That is, that day, the place where Wu Yanqiu avoided people and dodged and dodged, if I hadn't asked Du Yan to take someone to follow him in advance, even if there was news from Yang Jinyao, he might not be able to follow him to such a wilderness.

But obviously, at the time of the founding of the country, that place was not a wilderness, at least, Emperor Gao had been fortunate to be here.

In other words, that Protector may have been practicing in Chongyun Pavilion in the western suburbs when he founded the country, or in other words, even if he was not a Protector, he was still in their sect and all the way.

As recorded in the living note, on the seventh day of the third month, Emperor Gao sacrificed Mingtang as the fruit, and after seven days, the sacrifice was successful, which must have some reasons.

So, why did he sacrifice Mingtang in vain?

If someone is to stop it, at that time he has even beaten the entire Central Plains, seven days before ascending the throne, the capital is definitely completely under his control, and there will be the idea of sacrificing Mingtang, so it is impossible for someone to stop this.

To say that he himself does not want to, it is even more unlikely.

The first time failed, seven days later, he sacrificed again, which shows his determination in this matter, and he had not yet ascended the throne, sacrificing Mingtang must be a gesture, as a founding emperor, he would not give up lightly.

So, what else can't the emperor do?

I was thinking about it when I heard a thud outside, like something had fallen to the ground.

I was startled, and before I had time to react urgently, I heard Cai Wei's scolding voice outside, I asked Shui Xiu to go out to see, it turned out to be Xi Xi again, and hurriedly sent hot soup over, but I tripped at the door, the soup bowl fell on the snow and was not broken, but the hot soup spilled on the ground, Cai Wei hated iron and scolded: "Look at you, what can you do? Now you can only serve tea and water, and you can't do it well, and in the future, let you take care of the housekeeper's business, you are most afraid of crying!"

I shook my head and told Shui Xiu to let her go and say don't scold, but outside Cai Wei scolded angrily: "It's really unbelievable." ”

Then, Shui Xiu walked over and persuaded him two words before persuading him to come down.

And then, my heart jumped suddenly.

Can't get on the countertop?

Sacrifice to the Ming Hall......

Sacrificial Mingtang, is not an ordinary blessing, sacrificial ceremony, this is handed down from ancient times, very grand and ancient ceremony, take it now, Pei Yuanhao has no way to do a sacrifice to Mingtang, not because of insufficient ability, but because the ritual of sacrificing Mingtang has almost been lost, if it is not done well, it will only make people laugh, like a monkey and crown.

Emperor Gao, they are grassland nobles, but in the final analysis, in the eyes of the Central Plains people, they were barbarians back then, and they gradually began to integrate the ancient etiquette of the Central Plains after entering the Central Plains for many years.

Therefore, the "failure" is most likely due to the incomplete ritual of the sacrifice and its unsuccessful success.

However, on March 14, the day before Emperor Gao ascended the throne, the sacrifice to Mingtang had been successful, and there was only a short gap of seven days.

To say that these seven days from scratch, the whole set of sacrificial rituals sorted out, this is absolutely impossible, the sacrificial ceremony until now, even Fu Badai may not be able to recover, the original Emperor Gao, the ministers and generals who followed him are probably all brave and good warriors, on the battlefield can be one enemy hundred, but let them run such a grand ceremony, I can almost assert - it is impossible!

Then, the only possibility is that during this period, a person who knew all the sacrificial rituals appeared, and he gave advice to Emperor Gao to restore the entire set of sacrificial rituals, so that this Mingtang sacrifice could be realized.

Thinking of this, my eyes slowly looked out of the gate.

Shui Xiu was pushing the door and walked in, and when she saw me looking at her with a blank gaze, she asked, "Girl, what's wrong?"

“……”

I didn't speak.

In the wind and snow, the sky became darker and darker, and I could no longer even see the distant peaks outside, but only the outline of the rocks, standing on the ground like a giant.

Western suburbs, Chongyun Pavilion......

The living note records: On the tenth day of the third month of the first year of Yuanqing, the emperor Xingxing Chongyun Pavilion in the western suburbs.

During those seven days, he was dealing with some trivial things before ascending the throne for the first few days, and he couldn't see that any of them had anything to do with the sacrifice to the Ming Hall, but after the first ten lines of Xing Chongyun Pavilion, the records in the living notes showed that he seemed to have begun to let people start preparing for the sacrifice.

If you want to say that the sacrifice to Mingtang, I read from many ancient books, there have really been a few times, all of which have been prepared for a long time and carefully, and will not be formed in a few days, but Emperor Gao must have been anxious to appease some restless people and forces in the country at that time, and there was a feeling of forcibly getting on the horse, but in the end, the sacrifice of Mingtang was still successful, which proved that he did get the help of a certain master.

And this master is very likely to be-

Those eyes flashed before my eyes.

On the stage, surrounded by everyone, in the flags, that person looked at me calmly and attentively, those eyes, both cold and profound, as if peeking into the world, but beyond the haze, people can not see through the eyes at all.

Protector Mage.

Is that him?
