Chapter 305: Rites

The fourteenth day of the lunar month, the night.

Tomorrow is the Asaga ceremony, and Muchen sits alone in the house, guessing what will happen tomorrow.

He likes to think alone, because then he discovers a lot of things that he wouldn't normally find.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of many things.

First of all, Huang Yun didn't know where he went, he still sent people out to look for him these days, but he never found any clues.

Then he thought of the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty. Xiao Fengyin was taking refuge in the Southern Dynasty at the moment, and Mu Chen also promised him to help him regain the throne when this spring passed.

But now things in the Northern Dynasty are far more tricky than he imagined.

In addition, what he thought of was Sima Yunxuan, why did Sima Shao suddenly send Sima Yunxuan away, when the ceremony was approaching, he lined up the prince to the front-line camp?

This kind of thing is really strange to think about, but Mu Chen can't think of a reason.

Tomorrow is the Asaga ceremony, but he has not found any very important clues these days.

Mu Chen's heart was very panicked, could it be that Zhang Qianzhong would really show up tomorrow, and then expose Zhang Qianzhi in front of everyone?

It's really a no-brainer.

Because in this way, it means that the scandal of the Northern Dynasty will be made public.

No one can see through where this matter will go.

The fifteenth day of the lunar month. Daybreak.

The weather was bad and overcast. There was also a thick fog and a bitterly cold air.

In this kind of weather, it would be unpleasant to participate in the Hajko ceremony in the open air.

But the envoys did not think so, they saw it as a wonderful opportunity.

The Northern Dynasty is the most powerful of the Central Plains Dynasty, if it can maintain good relations with such a country, what is it to freeze for a day?

Before Muchen woke up, he heard a noisy commotion outside the door.

He stood up, walked to the window, and pulled it open.

Immediately, there was a biting chill outside the window. Directly attacked Mu Chen's front door, which made Mu Chen can't help but shiver.

This kind of day can kill people, and if it is normal, Mu Chen is absolutely unwilling to go out.

But today is different, today is the Hajoga ceremony.

Suddenly there was a baby crying in the house.

Muchen closed the window and returned to the bed, Yi Qingyu on the side was coaxing the child, she unbuttoned her clothes and breastfed the child.

The baby's crying gradually stopped.

Yi Qingyu said, "Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month?"

Mu Chen sighed and said, "You can just listen to the sound outside."

Yi Qingyu said, "Today is really lively"

The Prince's Mansion was already very large, and Mu Chen's house was in the backyard, but even here, he could still hear the voices of people coming from the street, and he could imagine how many people there would be today.

Mu Chen looked at the baby and said with a smile, "Look at her, how well-behaved"

Yi Qingyu blushed and said, "Get up quickly"

Mu Chen laughed and said, "Get up, get up, everyone has to get up"

Yi Qingyu said, "Why?

Mu Chen said, "Of course, this is what the emperor said personally."

Yi Qingyu said, "Why does the emperor want us all to go?"

Mu Chen said, "I'm afraid only he knows"

Although Mu Chen said this, he knew it very well in his heart. Bringing his family into the palace to participate in the ceremony was Mu Chen's request, Sima Shao wanted to win over Mu Chen early on, and now that he has a favor to sell, how can he not sell it?

So Mu Chen told everyone that except for Shi Qi and Guo Feng, everyone else entered the palace together today.

Bian Xiaofeng was obviously a little worried, and said, "Big brother, do you really want to go all of them?"

Mu Chendao: "Is there a problem?"

Bian Xiaofeng said, "I don't know what will happen today, I'm afraid of ......"

Mu Chen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, don't be afraid"

Bian Xiaofeng sighed and had no choice but to say no more.

Everyone set off together, led by Jincaiyu.

- It will always be more convenient for the crown princess to enter and leave the palace.

This was Mu Chen's idea, but it turned out that he was wrong, even with the crown princess leading them, it was still difficult for them to enter the palace.

Because there are so many people in Asaga, the guards will inevitably be stricter than usual.

"Sword, don't bring it" A guard pointed to Mu Chen and Bian Xiaofeng's swords.

Jin Caiyu shouted, "Bold, don't you know that these people are friends of the prince?"

The guard said, "Crown Princess, in order to ensure the emperor's safety, we have no choice, I hope you understand"

Jin Caiyu wanted to say something, but Mu Chen had already untied the sword and said, "Okay, here you go"

Bian Xiaofeng also untied the sword and handed it to the guards.

The guard said, "Who else has brought weapons?"

The crowd did not move.

Muchen Road "Bai Chutian"

Bai Chutian stepped forward and said, "Does the boss have orders?"

Mu Chen said, "Hand over your bamboo sticks"

Bai Chutian was stunned, he didn't expect Mu Chen to let him hand over the bamboo stick, because he was confident and never knew where his bamboo stick was hidden.

Mu Chendao "hand it over"

Bai Chutian sighed and reluctantly handed over all the bamboo sticks.

Mu Chen smiled, "It's really not there now"

The guard looked at everyone, nodded, and said, "Okay, let's go."

When everyone entered the palace, Jin Caiyu immediately took them away from the crowd and arrived at a side hall to rest.

Mu Chen said, "Let's not go to see the emperor?"

Jin Cai said, "The emperor must be receiving the envoys now, it's useless for us to go, it's better to rest here, and wait until the sacrificial ceremony is time, and then go to the sacrificial platform."

Bai Chutian walked to Mu Chen's side and whispered, "Boss, do you want me to go out to investigate?"

Mu Chen glanced at Jin Caiyu, for fear that she would be dissatisfied, and saw that Jin Caiyu didn't pay attention to herself, so she nodded slightly.

The fog gradually dissipated, but the clouds did not disperse, and the envoys of various countries gathered in the palace.

Li Qingxian looked at the clouds in the sky and said, "Brother Mu, do you still have to hold a sacrifice in this weather?"

Mu Chen smiled bitterly, "This is a rule, and it can't be easily changed."

Li Qingxian said, "Brother Mu, I have a question that I have always wanted to ask"

Mu Chen said, "Excuse me"

Li Qingxian said, "You let us all come, and we also handed over all the weapons, in case there will be a conflict, we men are okay, like these women here, isn't it in vain to worry?"

Bian Xiaofeng said, "This is also what I have always wanted to ask"

Mu Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, the reason why I called everyone here is to tell Zhang Qianzhi that we have no malicious intentions, if we are really here to find trouble, why drag our family and take our mouths?

Bian Xiaofeng clapped his hands and said, "Big brother, this is trying to lower Zhang Qianzhi's vigilance?"

Mu Chen said, "It's not bad at all, if this matter is seen through by him, we may not even see the emperor, let alone the envoys of various countries."

Bai Chutian said: "Can't you tell the emperor directly about this matter? Why do you have to expose Zhang Qianzhi in front of the envoys of various countries?"

Mu Chen smiled slightly, and said, "Because this incident is far more shocking than you imagined."

Everyone looked at the confident smile on Mu Chen's face, and they all showed puzzled expressions, but no one asked any more questions.

At this time, Bai Chutian came back.

As soon as Bai Chutian entered the house, he said, "Boss, there is a discovery"

Mu Chen immediately stretched out his hand and signaled him not to speak. He looked at Jincaiyu.

After all, Jin Caiyu is the crown princess, and Bai Chutian casually inquiring about news in the palace is a kind of disrespect to her.

Jin Caiyu looked at the two of them and sighed, "I should also go to see my father and tell him that you are here."

With that, she left the side hall.

Mu Chen watched her leave, and then said to Bai Chutian, "Say it"

Bai Chutian's words were very concise, "Lin Hongyue is here"

Mu Chen's face changed, and he said, "Lin Hongyue, why did he come here?"

Bai Chutian said, "He came as an envoy of the Southern Dynasty, and he came with Li Yanguang and Shangguancheng."

When Shangguan Wuyi heard Shangguan Cheng's name, he immediately stood up, walked to the side, and stopped listening.

Mu Chen said, "What are they doing?"

Bai Chutian said, "They gave the emperor a gift"

Mu Chen said, "Gift, the jewelry and silk of the Southern Dynasty?"

Bai Chutian waved his hand and said, "You will never guess."

Melauel said anxiously, "What the hell?"

Bai Chutian said, "It's a deer, a white deer"

Bian Xiaofeng said, "White Deer?"

Bai Chutian said that "the whole body is snow-white, it is really a rare thing in the world"

Bian Xiaofeng pondered, "What does he mean by this?"

Mu Chen thought about it and suddenly laughed.

Bian Xiaofeng said, "Why is the eldest brother laughing?"

Mu Chen said, "Lin Hongyue is really a smart person, Bailu. He suddenly asked, "Do you know the meaning of a deer?"

There are too many meanings of deer, and "deer" has the same sound as "lu", which can represent wealth and longevity.

In the pre-Qin period, the deer could also be used as a token of love between men and women.

There are so many meanings of deer, and no one knows which one Mu Chen is talking about.

Mu Chen saw that everyone was silent, and then slowly said, "Chase the world"

After hearing this, everyone gasped, and Bian Xiaofeng said, "Lin Hongyue wants to send troops?"

Mu Chen said, "I'm afraid yes, he has ambitions, but he also knows that this kind of thing can't be achieved by one person, so he has to find a partner, so he found the most powerful Northern Dynasty"

Bian Xiaofeng said: "Why is he looking for the Northern Dynasty? Doesn't he know that the third brother is the crown prince?

Mu Chen said, "In the Central Plains Dynasty, the Western Dynasty has the closest relationship with me, of course he will not unite the Western Dynasty, followed by the Northern Dynasty that is close to us, and finally the Eastern Dynasty"

Bian Xiaofeng said, "Then why did he come here because he went to unite the Eastern Dynasty first?" When he said this, he suddenly thought of something, and lost his voice, "Could it be that he has succeeded in persuading the Eastern Dynasty?"

The current emperor of the Eastern Dynasty is just a teenager, and if someone instigates him, no one knows what decision he will make.

Bai Chutian said in a trembling voice, "If the Eastern Dynasty has really agreed, wouldn't that mean that the Eastern Dynasty is wrong...... Already dead at the hands of Lin Hongyue?"

The expression on Mu Chen's face became serious, and he said to Bai Chutian, "What did the emperor say after seeing Bailu?"

Bai Chutian said, "The emperor is very happy and accepted the white deer"

Mu Chen muttered, "Could it be that the emperor of the Northern Dynasty also has the intention of dominating the world?"

The crowd fell silent for an instant, and no one dared to speak falsely about such a thing.

Instead, Mu Chen took the initiative to walk to Li Qingxian's side and said, "Master Li, I ask you to help me with one thing."

Li Qingxian said, "We are friends, how can we talk about the word 'seeking'?"

Mu Chen said, "I want you to help me protect Moon Sakura and Qing Yu"

Li Qingxian's face was full of surprise, he really couldn't imagine that Mu Chen would beg him for such a thing.

Mu Chen said, "Lin Hongyue must have other plans when she comes here, I'm afraid that something will happen and I won't have time to take care of them, I will do some work without clothes, Qingyu wants to take care of the children, and Yueying can't do kung fu, so the two of them will leave it to you."

Li Qingxian pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I promise you"

Mu Chen nodded. He believed that Li Qingxian would definitely agree, because he knew that Li Qingxian had a love for Shen Yueying, and it was precisely because of this that Mu Chen chose him to protect Shen Yueying, and Mu Chen believed that Li Qingxian would definitely do his best to protect Shen Yueying.

Li Qingxian turned his head and called Li Nanke beside him and whispered a few words to him. Li Nanke nodded, he was originally standing next to Li Qingxian, and after listening to my Li Qingxian's words, he immediately took the initiative to approach Yi Qingyu and Shen Yueying.
