Chapter Seventy-Two: The Festival Begins
Time always flies, and in the blink of an eye, the festival has arrived.
In the Weiyang Palace, the palace maids were busy dressing up Princess Qingmeng.
She is the third princess of Jing Qianchen and the daughter of Concubine De. has a noble status, a proper age, and a well-informed, gentle and generous princess, so this time the festival chose her to go to the altar as a sacrificial listener.
Just like when she was selected as a woman, if she was not a noble woman with both virtue and virtue, she would not be qualified to go to that altar.
But Jing Qianyun is not in Weiyang Palace at the moment.
According to common sense, as his father, he must have instructed Qingmeng a few words before the ceremony, but he is not in Weiyang Palace at this moment, which will inevitably make Qingmeng a little disappointed.
Li Fuhai had to persuade the princess a few words: "Don't hurt the princess, the emperor is only afraid that he will see things and think about people, so he doesn't want to appear here." ”
"Seeing things and thinking about people? Could it be that when you see me today, you think of my aunt who died on the altar sixteen years ago, and you are afraid to think about it, so you don't want to see me? Father, why bother, now that General Luo and Uncle Huang are helping, there will definitely be no accident at this festival, besides, I haven't offended any alien clan, how can anyone want to kill me. Although he understood his father's feelings, Qingmeng still couldn't help but complain.
Li Fuhai lowered his head, moved his lips, and swallowed the truth in his stomach.
He didn't want to hurt this princess who was popular in the palace, the emperor didn't show up because he missed Princess Yiyou, after all, Princess Yiyou has been gone for sixteen years, and the emperor is such a tenacious character, even if he will be affected, he will never ignore his daughter. The reason why she didn't come was simply because the Queen Mother was unwilling to attend the festival.
Of the three queen mothers of the Dragon Kingdom, none of them were willing to participate in this festival.
Festivals can be said to be the most important thing for all nations to worship, and if there is no festival, there will be no worship for all nations at all. It can be said that as long as this festival can be held smoothly, even if no country has sent envoys before.
It's such an important festival, but the three queen mothers, such important figures, no one wants to go.
Jing Qianyun is also anxious to get on fire.
In fact, he had thought that it would be this kind of scene before, but after all, it was before the Queen Mother came back. Although it was probably impossible for the Queen Mother to attend because of Yiyou's relationship, the Queen Mother of the West Palace was still very interested in joining in the excitement at that time.
But the return of the Empress Dowager interrupted all plans.
The Empress Dowager doesn't have to count on it, she doesn't even return to Beijing for such an important thing as ascending the throne, can she still expect to participate in the festival? If you don't avoid Jing Qianyun in Summer Mountain Villa with a straight face, thank God, there are many, I really don't dare to think about it.
And the Empress Dowager of the West Palace, who was originally good, because Jing Qianming is still lying on the sickbed, and her recovery condition is not good, so she is crying in front of Jing Qianming at the moment. Not to mention letting her come over, judging from this situation, I am afraid that the queen mother will cry and faint anytime and anywhere. Now that the Empress Dowager Xigong wants to come, Jing Qianyun doesn't dare to let her come.
The only thing left that has a little hope is his mother, the real queen mother. But Jing Qianyun begged the queen mother here for several days, and he just couldn't understand why the queen mother, who was a little shaken, put on a tough attitude after going to the imperial mausoleum.
Seeing Jing Qianyun's embarrassed look, the queen mother was also a little soft-hearted, but it was not that she was unwilling to go, but after worshipping Qiandai and Chen Bingwu in the imperial mausoleum, she saw her daughter's behavior again, and she was afraid that she would not be able to stand it and fall on the altar.
Jing Qianyun hesitated for a while, gritted her teeth and said, "Queen Mother, it's not for me, it's for Qingmeng, you better go and have a look." ”
The Queen Mother sighed, stood up and said, "It's okay, the Queen Mother will go to see Qingmeng with you first." ”
She didn't say she was going to the festival, but she was visibly relieved. Jing Qianyun put her mind at ease, seeing that time was running out, she hurriedly asked people to set up a fight in Weiyang Palace.
Seeing the Queen Mother coming, Qingmeng was naturally overjoyed, holding her grandmother's hand and wanting to say something, but seeing that the Queen Mother was just looking at herself, she didn't know what she was thinking at all, no matter how much she screamed, she didn't respond.
The Queen Mother was indeed stunned.
She still remembers that sixteen years ago, Qiandai was pulling her with a little excitement.
Qian Dai has always been a calm child, and being so excited is really the first time that even Jing Qianchen has seen her, and they laughed a few words on the side, but they all know in their hearts that Qian Dai is so happy, and it is natural for the reason.
The pilgrimage of all nations is a grand event that only comes once in five years, and Qiandai was only seventeen years old that year, and that festival is a place where children under the age of twelve are absolutely not allowed to appear, so for Qiandai, it is only five years ago that she has only seen such a solemn and grand festival.
At that time, it was Qiandai's eldest sister, the fifteen-year-old eldest princess who went up to listen to the saint, but after five years, it was her turn, and she was replaced by another princess, but I was afraid that she would not be able to help herself with excitement for a long time. But what's more, at that time, the emperor said that at the festival, she would announce her marriage to Los Angeles to the world.
This pair of happiness is coming, how can it make Qiandai unhappy.
It's just that she's happy, but it must mean that someone is unhappy.
That's Jerodin.
It should be said that the happier Jing Qiandai is, the more unhappy he is, because the woman he likes is disdainful of him and wants to marry another man.
In fact, he didn't think about killing Yiyou earlier, in his heart, he still wanted to snatch Yiyou hard. But after hearing Jing Qianming's inadvertent words that night, he suddenly had such an idea, since I can't get her, I will simply destroy her.
And Jing Qianjing just wanted to help herself.
The more the two discussed, the more Yeluding was sure that he wanted to kill Yiyou, and Yeluheng's request to this son was naturally to be satisfied as much as possible. Coupled with Jing Qianjing, a guy with a flexible brain and a lot of ideas, they quickly found a suitable candidate among these warriors from the Turks, and secretly arranged them in the palace before the festival began.
After that, although Los Angeles already had a very high status, in order to prepare for the marriage, and the defense in this palace was not under his control, he didn't realize their conspiracy at all.
Until the day the festival begins.
