Su Nianyao walked in the direction of her mother, looked at the direction where Nianyao left, the little brother was silent, and said to herself for a while, "It turned out to be Miss Su's family"

Nian Yao obediently stood beside her mother, watching the high priest perform rituals on the altar. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Nian Yao really can't lift his spirits for such a ceremony, he is bored, Nian Yao's eyes gradually moved to the many red lights blurred in the white mist behind the high priest, and I heard Mu Shuang say that those red lanterns are the lanterns in the world, and they will be hung at this time, as if to commemorate the ancestors. For Nian Yao, who saw these things for the first time, those red lights were too dazzling, and the distant but seemingly touchable distance between the county capital and the world made Nian Yao yearn for it.

Mu Shuang also told himself about something that can be seen but not touched in the world, that thing is called time, and the county has no time. My mother told me that the county didn't need time, because in the long-lived county, no one cares about time, everyone can splurge on it, and no one in the county capital needs to be bound by time.

"Niang" This year is the first time Nian Yao has participated in the sacrificial ceremony in the county capital, and in the face of all this, she is very curious, "What is the sacrifice for?" ”

The mother replied that every year when the moon is at its fullest, it is the time of sacrifice, "Every year we need to worship the heavens and the earth, and bless our tomorrow as yesterday

Speaking of this, Nian Yao remembered, before her mother and herself said, the patron saint of the county capital is Yingyue Niangniang, and also said a lot of things like the son of a god or something, I didn't understand it at the time, but although I have never seen it, my mother said that Yingyue Niangniang lives in the sky and has always protected the county capital...

About half an hour later, the festival was finally over, and everyone went back. Nian Yao's legs were extremely sore, it turned out that the sacrifice was so boring.

I thought that I could go home and have a good rest, but Nian Yao Niang pulled Nian Yao to the altar, "Aunt! "Actually, Nian Yao noticed it from the time of the sacrifice just now, but then she was attracted by the red light and ignored it.

It was a richly dressed woman, with a phoenix made of gold in her hair, decorated with pearls and jade, six downwards, exquisite; There is a string of jewels on the neck, which is made of more than ten blood-red agate and a few small white beads, dignified and elegant; The woman was wearing a gorgeous dress, her red skirt was mopping the floor, her cuffs were embroidered with gold thread with phoenix, and even the neckline of her undershirt was embroidered with gold thread.

"Nian Yao, you have to call the queen outside" Although the mother and the queen are the same family, the mother and mother have no provincial rules, she walked over slowly and corrected Nian Yao in time.

"It's okay, there are no outsiders now" Su Wanyan (the queen's real name, she was called Yan Hou after the seal) squatted down, she touched Nian Yao's hand, "I haven't seen Yaoyao for a long time, I miss it, just yesterday, before Wang left the city, I talked about it, when I will take Yaoyao to live in the palace for a few days." Although it was said to Nian Yao, Nian Yao hadn't noticed it when she said this, and Empress Yan's eyes had already drifted to her sister who was standing on the side, that is, Nian Yao's mother.

The mother subconsciously avoided Empress Yan's eyes, she bent down and put her hand on Nian Yao's shoulder and asked Yaoyao, "Go to the palace to live for a few days and have fun, okay?"

Of course, Nian Yao was very happy when she heard it, and she heard her mother say that because there have been a lot of official affairs in the palace recently, she didn't let herself go to the palace to play for a long time, and Nian Yao agreed.

"I'll send someone to my house tomorrow," Yan Hou stood up and said goodbye to Nian Yao, and then left under the protection of the attendants.

Back in the Su Mansion, Nian Yao was very excited, but after being excited, she remembered her father's words and felt a little uneasy, Nian Yao sat on the edge of the bed and said to Mu Shuang, "Before my father died, I told me that it was best not to have too much intersection with the people in the palace in the future", but Nian Yao changed her mind and then said, "But Empress Yan is my aunt, it should be fine, Mu Shuang, you talk about it." ”

Mu Shuang took out the clothes from the wooden cabinet one by one and packed them, Nian Yao had a lot of clothes, just a big bag of jewelry, and she had to listen to the young lady chattering to herself in addition to her busy work, that was not enough, she also needed to express her own opinions, Mu Shuang was deeply tired, and she didn't know what to answer. So I had to answer Nian Yao perfunctorily, "Miss, are you happy or unhappy?" As he spoke, another package was packed.

Nian Yao didn't know, she looked at the young flowers and plants outside the window, this scene has been such a scenery since she was born and remembered, and I heard Mu Shuang say that this is the spring in the world.

On the second day, the sound of horses' hooves and wheels gradually appeared on the stone road, and with a sound of "taro~", the carriage stopped and stopped steadily in front of the Su family's courtyard. The driver jumped out of the carriage, took off his hat, and walked to the janitor, "I was sent by Empress Yan to pick up Miss Su, can the eldest brother inform the villain?" ”

In front of the carriage, Nian Yao was saying her final goodbye to her mother. On this day, she carefully wore an elegant pink tulle gown dress, wearing a white undershirt inside, and a hosta with a hollow pattern given to her by her aunt a long time ago. Nian Yao and Mu Shuang were ready, and after some reluctant words from their mothers, the two little girls finally got into the carriage and embarked on the journey to the North Palace.

When the carriage stopped in front of the palace gate, the guard in front of the palace gate stepped forward to inquire about the identity of the person who came.

"Our young lady Su Nianyao was invited by Empress Yan to come." Mu Shuang told the guard attendant. As soon as the waiter heard that it was Empress Yan's person, he let him go.

Beigong is the northernmost palace of the county capital, because of the relationship between population and land, Beigong occupies almost half of the land area of the county, so some people in the market said that the concubine who lives in the Beigong has to spend most of the day just by walking the entire Beigong, originally thought that those people in the market were talking about falsehoods, because Nian Yao had been to the Beigong several times when she was very young, and she was attending the palace banquet with her father and mother, and the Beigong allowed the carriage with the invitation letter to drive directly into the main hall. But when you really walk from the palace gate to the North Palace, you know how big the North Palace is. Nian Yao felt new to everything around, under the small wooden bridge where the north palace gate went in a little further, there was a small pond, the pond was full of turquoise lotus leaves and pink lotus, Nian Yao's favorite among the flowers was the lotus, but unfortunately the conditions at home did not allow, there was such a large water area to plant, so I had to give up, I didn't expect to see so many lotus flowers and lotus leaves here.

Although it was the maid in the palace who took them in, Nian Yao walked and walked, and when she looked back to Mu Shuang, she found that there was no one around, not to mention Mu Shuang, even the maid who led the way before was gone, Nian Yao was in a hurry, there was no attendant around, if a palace was how to get out......

At this time, a strange man's voice came from behind Nian Yao, his voice was as warm as jade and extremely gentle, "Look at Miss's service is not the maid in the palace......

Nian Yao turned around, and standing in front of her was a strange man who looked to be the same age as Nian Yao, and Nian Yao noticed the jade pendant on the man's waist. Not everyone in the county can wear jade pendants at will, each kind of jade pendant represents that person's status class, and her mother taught herself to recognize many different jade pendants, so Nian Yao could recognize it at the first time, it turned out to be a prince.
