Chapter Twenty-Five: The Cold Reception of the New Year's Sacrifice to the Gods
Su Mo'er didn't know when she began to care about Dorgon's attitude, since she didn't love it, why did she care if he liked the new and hated the old?
"Don't you know which one this king likes?" Dolgon suddenly turned around, palmed his hands on the desk, leaned over and looked directly at the hopelessly dull woman in front of him, the handwriting on the desk that had just been written was swept up by the sudden wind, and fell in front of Su Mo'er, only to see that it was written with a tough and rigid word "forbearance".

Su Mo'er froze there as if she had done something wrong and was named, she didn't know if Dolgon was serious or sarcastic when he said this, she looked at his deep eyes and couldn't find any answer.
Insecure people are always looking for self-preservation, so Su Mo'er would rather believe that Dorgon said this just to let her guard down, maybe he was testing her, so that she would not let herself fall, so she didn't bother anymore.
Su Mo'er got up and said coldly, "So, let's not meet again in the future." ”
"Are you serious? Do you really regret it? Dolgon's eyes glared angrily, unable to contain the anger in his heart.
Su Mo'er didn't look at Dolgon's eyes again, but turned her back to him, "If you don't see each other, you can't fall in love; If you don't know each other, you can't be lovesick; If you don't have a companionship, you don't owe anything. ”
After a long while, after the silence, Dolgon's voice almost roared from behind: "Okay, then from now on, grace, break, righteousness, absolute!" ”
When Su Mo'er heard this, she was silent for a moment and left without looking back, and after walking out of the door, there was suddenly a piercing sound of porcelain breaking and cracking behind her, and she felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart.
She looked at the sky, it was still the blue sky when she came, there were still no clouds, but her heart was heavier than before, and she walked silently and alone, and this place no longer embraced her, did it really break up? Are they really never going to see each other again in this life? Is it really a turn against each other? Without love, don't you even have to be friends?
Su Mo'er got on the horse and pulled the reins fiercely, "Drive...... ......There was a ball of anger in her heart, there was nowhere to vent, she was angry with herself, angry at her own injustice, angry at her stubbornness, angry at her helplessness, she rode faster and faster, almost bursting into the imperial city with tears streaming down her face.
On that day, she became the object of discussion among the people on the street: a mad woman rushed from the vegetable market.
It was her first heartbreak.
After that, Su Mo'er served wholeheartedly in the palace, and soon it was New Year's Eve.
On the twenty-sixth day of the fourth year of Chongde, the palace should set up a shrine in the main hall of Qingning Palace in accordance with the practice of previous years, most of the Manchu people believe in shamanism, and only a small number of people, like Concubine Zhuang and Su Mo'er, believe in Buddhism.
In addition to the shaman, there are Shakyamuni Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva and Guan Sheng Emperor, among which Shakyamuni Buddha is a small statue, Bodhisattva and Guan Di are portraits, and then neatly placed offerings and wine fruits under the kang, these are ready to be sacrificed before the sacrifice really begins.
First of all, you need to choose the shaman wife who can dance the god among the women of Jueluo, and I saw twelve shaman wives dressed in colorful clothes, with crisp copper bells hanging on their hands and feet, dancing the divine sword, singing divine songs at the same time, and there are twenty people next to the soundtrack, some make three strings, some play the pipa, some clappe, and there are actually a few people who clap.
Before singing the sacred song, you must pray three times, and every three times you must sing the sacred song, and the divine song will be finished after singing three times, and the whole scene is not lower than that of the symphony orchestra.
Then the two eunuchs removed the Buddha statue and the Bodhisattva, ready to enter the Guan Emperor, the eunuch into the pig two, the pig must be selected without disease and no miscellaneous hair of the black pig, and then with hot wine to fill the pig ears, and then kill the pig, the cooked pork can contribute to the gods, during the shaman wife also has to pray and play music, Huang Taiji and Empress Zhezhe in ceremonial clothes, in front of the god three kneels and nine bows.
Only after the ceremony is completed, do they begin to eat "blessed meat", and the food official will offer the "blessed meat" that has been sacrificed to the gods to Huang Taiji and Zhezhejin, and then distribute it to the concubines and the princes and ministers of the previous dynasty, and the inner guards.
The princes were also there, this was the first time Su Mo'er saw Dolgon since the last goodbye, but the two did not make eye contact, everything was like strangers, Dolgon took his felt mat, put it in front of the palace lamp, kowtowed to the west and sat down.
The eunuch distributed a square plate and a salt dish in front of his seat, and in the square plate was a whole piece of sacrificial meat, and when the emperor's blessing was finished and he could start, Dolgon took a small scimitar, cut off a large piece of meat, dipped it in the salt in the plate, and ate it, as if he were the only one here.
