The three hundred and nineteenth round

They sat in the carriage and waited for nearly an hour, and the coachman passed through the thick curtain that the main road had been cleared. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Mei Sanniang's skirt was the first to drag on the ground, and she turned around to let Empress Xiao help her hand get out of the car, and the two were parallel in the bustling crowd.

There are indeed countless delicacies on both sides of the main road, which should be left after the ceremony of worshipping the heavens in the mound.

Queen Xiao had never seen any big scenes in the past, and she expressed no interest in everyone's behavior of snatching sacrifices; Mei Sanniang wanted to see Qin Ying, and her eyes fell on the crowded front, so the tall stilt on the case didn't make her pause.

Half a mile near the mound, the guards held their canes and did not let the onlookers approach.

Mei Sanniang can only see the corner of the mound when she stands here. The altar is forty percent, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and there are twelve steps in each city. Looking up at this low hill-like mound, lying quietly on the flat plains around it, it is natural to feel awe.

At this time, the most successful altar is still blazing with fire, shining to the sky, green smoke into the clouds, with a prayer, up to the heavens to listen.

She watched silently for a long time, folded her hands and bowed her head, but she didn't know who she was worshipping for.

Since the change of dynasty, Empress Xiao is the first time to visit the hometown of Yuanqiu. Seeing that the fire of the altar was flourishing, he smiled slowly. I remember that when the previous dynasty had not yet fallen, every winter solstice, he would hold his hand, and the emperor and queen would look at each other and light the altar together.

A good fire is a good sign of good weather in the coming year, and a weak fire is a sign of a bad harvest in the coming year.

In the last two years of the previous dynasty, the fire of the altar was extinguished by the afternoon snow. For this reason, he was convinced of ghosts and gods, and he lost his temper, and after returning to the palace, she patiently persuaded him all night before extinguishing the fire in his heart.

Probably everything has its own fixed number in the dark.

However, he didn't see the way and didn't know the way back, and ended up with a dead country and a ruined country.

When she came here today, she found that the 30% round mound of the previous dynasty had been expanded to 40% by the current dynasty.

Things are not original, people are not old people. The meaning of grief cannot be let go. Poor yes? Ridiculous?

It's just that I don't know how long the previous dynasty died after only two generations, and how long can the current dynasty last for the country?

While Empress Xiao was contemplating and meditating, she suddenly felt a trace of coldness on her cheeks. Reaching out and wiping it, it turned out that the snow had melted into water.

Finely chopped snowflakes fell from the sky like a continuous flocculent.

Mei Sanniang wore a curtain fence and did not notice the arrival of the snow, her tall figure did not move for a long time, and the bamboo yellow was covered with light white.

After a while, a cry came from the altar, from the sweeping officer: "There is a shadow hovering above the altar!" When the light snow fell, the wind blew the green smoke into a shadow like a man.

All the people gathered around the mound looked at the green mist that suddenly appeared.

Li Chunfeng was sitting cross-legged in the wing room with his eyes closed, but his attention was extended to the outside world. After gaining insight into the abnormality of the altar, after a little calculation, he put on a robe and opened the door to meet the snowstorm.

It happened that Taizhu passed by, and asked Li Chunfeng with a panicked expression, what was going on with the green smoke.

"An auspicious omen." Li Chunfeng's face was calm and calm. In terms of the ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense, among the Beijing officials of the Manchu Dynasty, only Qin Ying can catch up with him.

Taizhu stroked his palms and sighed, stretched his eyebrows on behalf of longevity, and bowed to him: "That's easy to say, I organized the historians to go to the altar to stabilize people's hearts." ”

Li Chunfeng bowed back, saw Taizhu hurriedly go away, and walked to the room where Qin Ying was, and entered directly without knocking on the door.

“…… Brother. Qin Ying called him in a low voice, and didn't pay attention to any etiquette, and beckoned him to come over and roast his hands with the fire.

He stood in front of Qin Ying, his indifferent temperament around him at a glance, but his mouth was an invitation: "Come out with me to see the snow." ”

Qin Ying retracted his freshly warmed hand into his wide sleeves, shook his head and muttered, "It's too cold outside and I don't want to move." She felt that she was cold, and she so simply declined the offer.

Li Chunfeng glanced at Qin Ying: "Mei Sanniang is watching from the mound, don't you go looking for her?" ”

Just now, he really invited the Emperor of Heaven today, so there was a scene of green smoke turning into shadows. However, the fog and shadow dispersed and gradually drifted to the east, which was contrary to the position of the White Emperor in the west. There is a bad omen in the auspicious place.

He wanted to go to the east to check it out, and with Qin Ying, the swaggering person, it was just in case.

Hearing this, her face moved, she got up slowly, stretched her numb legs and feet, and followed behind Li Chunfeng.

However, Li Chunfeng calculated that Mei Sanniang was in the mound, but he didn't calculate that she was in the east of the mound, where the shadow of the green smoke drifted away.

Li Chunfeng took Qin Ying, who did not have the slightest advantage in height, through the flow of people and squeezed to Mei Sanniang's side.

Qin Ying stretched out her hand and tugged at Mei Sanniang's sleeve, so that the other party's chaotic thoughts returned to reality. The two of them chatted as if no one was around, what happened in the house in the past few days when Qin Ying was not there.

Empress Xiao, who was standing next to Mei Sanniang, touched the top of Qin Ying's hair, followed the corner of her official uniform and saw Li Chunfeng, recognized which official office and which grade of robe he was wearing, and said with a faint smile: "This is Lord Li of the Taishi Bureau?" ”

This sentence interrupted Li Chunfeng's left and right expectations. Turning his head and saluting respectfully, he said, "It's here, I don't know who the old lady is?" ”

He had been secretly searching for the green smoke shadow with his true qi just now, but in the end, he found nothing. Li Chunfeng was unwilling, but he changed his mind. I don't know how much higher the Heavenly Emperor's cultivation is than himself, if he deliberately reins in his breath, how can he find out?

"Your surname is Xiao, a native of Lanling, Shandong." Empress Xiao bowed slightly.

Li Chunfeng thought about the more powerful officials of the Xiao family in the dynasty, and the head was Xiao Yu. His second sister is the famous queen of the previous dynasty.

I didn't expect Qin Ying to be related to such a big shot... Li Chunfeng leaned over and bowed again. And Empress Xiao quickly helped him up and signaled him not to break his identity.

When the light snow has ended, the altar is restored to its original state, and the onlookers no longer pull their necks to see the excitement, and the scattered scatters soon become scattered. However, for a while, there was a crowd of people, and Qin Ying was so crowded that she was almost separated from Mei Sanniang. Fortunately, Mei Sanniang caught Qin Ying's hand and refused to let go at all.

Qin Ying raised her head and smiled at Mei Sanniang, and suddenly saw a white-clothed figure flashing next to her. Because it felt familiar, Qin Ying tilted his head and was stunned in that direction, and Li Chunfeng behind him suddenly moved, and ran towards the figure.

"Master Li!" Qin Ying stood on tiptoe and shouted, but Li Chunfeng didn't look back. They are not commensurate with brothers and sisters in front of outsiders.

Mei Sanniang heard Qin Ying's shout, so she followed her gaze and turned back: "What is he chasing after that figure?" ”

"I don't know." Qin Ying waved his hand helplessly. (To be continued.) )
