- When you come to the beach to watch the ceremony, even if someone wants to recite poetry, they may not be able to do it, so no one will carry paper with them. As a result, many people thought of that observation deck admission ticket at the same time.

The pale yellow ticket, under the concerted efforts of everyone, suddenly turned into tens of millions of "Northern Night Stars", and floated to the giant ship platform on the opposite side in the wind.

None of the names on these pieces of paper are officially certified, and even if they successfully land on the ship, they will not be able to claim the reward. But for some reason, the enthusiasm of all the audience to throw the self-made "Northern Night Star" has not been weakened by this. On the contrary, because there was only one merchant ship left at the harbor berth, everyone's excitement was concentrated on one ship, and the scene was even more spectacular, and the stars flying in the sky were vast.

But the crew at the bow of the ship [standing in a triangular phalanx, until this time, still maintained the posture of being stationed like a pine and holding high the courtesy, and let the giant ship shake slightly when it turned around, and they all stood still in place, like rows of iron-cast warriors, guarding the ship under their feet.

But there was no storm on their heads at this time, only stars falling, or falling on the top of their heads, or tapping on their shoulders, or sliding over the bridge of their eyelashes and noses.

There seemed to be a smile on the corner of the crew's mouth.

……

When everyone paid attention to the front, no one noticed that the original crowded viewing platform, close to the back direction, was extremely bizarre and unexpectedly vacant of a path.

And, at such an exciting moment, there will be people walking leisurely on this path.

In fact, if you want to strictly evaluate the expressions on the faces of the four people holding the umbrella in the middle, describe it as leisurely. It's a bit reluctant. However, if you compare them with those who are in love with those who forget themselves on the side, the state of love of these four people happens to be described by these two words.

They did not participate in the activities of throwing the "Northern Night Star". Of course, at the beginning of the event, they also did it symbolically, throwing out the few coins that came with the ticket to the observation deck. But they are not throwing their alls with hope and joy like everyone else, but throwing garbage like they do. Sprinkle it with your hand.

In the back of this. In order to help the fallen ship, everyone spontaneously folded the nameless "Northern Night Star" and carried out activities to help for free, and the four of them no longer enthusiastically participated.

However, taking advantage of the dense crowd, there was a gap in the same path again. They immediately moved together. Changed positions from the right-hand side of the ranks. Go to the corner of the fence on the left.

Although they are still located on the right coast with the Matsuri Rotoko as the center, it is different from the previous one. Now they could almost see the bright yellow figure beating the drum on the drum platform with a direct gaze.

When everyone turned their eyes to the ship on the other side of the coast, which had completely turned around and headed east, there were four people in similar clothes at the corner of the iron fence of the observation deck, leaning on the fence and looking at the bright yellow figure on the drum platform on the side from time to time.

This is the end of the main part of the ceremony, and for the rest of the time, the people who come here can do whatever they want to do if they want to go or continue to stay and take a walk by the sea. It's just that before that, the imperial honor guard of the emperor must first get up and leave the distance, and the military rings on the periphery of the observation deck can be removed.

At the moment before the royal drive back to the palace, there is still a little time to make some preparations on the altar, such as counting the number of people and tidying up the drum platform. In this free time, everyone on the observation deck was still hot, and immediately used various voices amplified to the limit, discussing the mood of the ceremony just now.

Obviously, they didn't receive the reward out of thin air, and they didn't eat any delicacies from the mountains and seas, and they got any benefits, everyone huddled together, their clothes and hair ornaments were a little crooked, but they all looked like they had just poured an urn of old ginseng soup, their foreheads were sweaty, their cheeks were red, their pupils were burning, and they were extremely excited.

Immersed in such a momentum, Mo Ye and several other young girls naturally had better keep their mouths shut and listen. Anyway, the words spoken by their small voices were not suppressed by the sea breeze and waves, and they were dispersed by the noisy voices around them as soon as they came out of their teeth.

Among the conversations that several people listened to, the most surprising thing was that a few rich people, in order to seize the time to fold the mascot, in a moment of panic, actually pulled out a stack of silver tickets from their arms, and when the waste paper was torn, they threw all of them into the sea.

Mo Ye and his companions were about to laugh when they heard this, and suddenly they were surprised to find that the umbrella they were holding in their hands, I don't know when, the oil-paper umbrella coat had been peeled off, and only a bamboo umbrella stand remained. At the folding of the umbrella frame, the fixing process of the umbrella jacket will be stronger, but at this time, I can see that there is only a little scrap of paper left. The whole bundled bamboo umbrella stand is like a stick bone that has been gnawed away from the flesh.

When the women saw this, they all had expressions of crying and laughing.

Without much thought, it is not difficult to guess what caused the destruction of the umbrella in your hand.

And they looked around and soon found that there were not only a few of them who had turned into umbrellas like this, but most of them only had thin bamboo umbrella stands in their hands. The ground was littered with confetti, and there were a few origami pieces of "Northern Night Star" that had been knocked back to shore by the wind.

Retracting his gaze that was on the ground, Mo Ye's gaze rose slightly, and suddenly froze.

She saw the four people with umbrellas leaning against the corner of the iron fence, and what made Mo Ye fix his gaze after just one glance was the black umbrella in their hands.

Then, she noticed that the four of them were dressed, which was a little familiar, and gradually remembered that they were the people standing in the queue opposite when they first lined up to enter, and Ye Nuonuo also introduced their attire, presumed that they were from the martial arts hall.

But thinking of this, Mo Ye couldn't help but wonder again.

Based on the position of the queue they stood on when they entered, they should be on the far right of the observation deck after entering, and how did they squeeze through the crowd on the observation deck just now?

The position where the four people were standing, Mo Ye had also stood when the shipping ceremony had just begun. Later, although she joined up with Yeno and gradually squeezed into the middle of the crowd, she was not far from the corner of the iron fence, and she could still see everyone, things, and things there relatively clearly.

On the drum stand on the right hand side of the altar. The emperor had already returned to the imperial chariot, so the four umbrella bearers stood there, and did not look at the drum platform frequently, but did not chat, but looked at the eastern sea with some nonchalant.

The clouds had faded a little, and the golden sunlight had pierced the clouds and cast them onto the shore, tracing the backs of the four men in a line of light, but it became more and more evident that they were just standing there, neither chatting nor moving. It seems that he just looked at it in a daze. There is only a white sail left.

Mo Ye didn't know that the four of them had purposefully taken the initiative to go over there. She couldn't even know what the purpose of these four people was, and even if she was given a few guiding conditions, she probably wouldn't be able to think of that aspect for a while.

And time didn't wait for her to continue to think about anything, and the gongs and drums of the royal guard of honor were raised. Everyone on the observation deck consciously bowed to the ground on the road where the royal chariot had walked.

The path of the royal drive back to the palace. There is a section of terrain below the stands on either side. Therefore, although Mo Ye knelt with his neck flat, in the line of sight, he could see the general outline of passing by the imperial chariot.

I happened to run into a royal guard of honor on the beach before. She was escorted by two soldiers to kneel on the side of the road, forced to hang her head very low, and at that time she thought about how precious the emperor's face should be, how could he even bear the crime of being frightened by making people look at him?

At that time, it was obviously the sudden arrival of the royal honor guard, which made her at a loss, right?

And just now, the emperor was beating the drum on the drum platform in full view of everyone, at that time, why didn't anyone come forward and say that everyone was not allowed to look at His Majesty and the like?

Thinking of these various fragments that were all imprinted in his mind in one day today, Mo Ye couldn't help but pursed his lips, and felt a stubbornness in his heart, just about to see the emperor's face clearly. Not only him, but it is said that the emperor's wife, son, and daughter are here today, and she has to scan them one by one.

Of course, she wouldn't make this move of her plan straightforward, even if it was easy to ask for trouble. It was only when she realized that the low-lying path was beneficial to her field of vision, and suddenly she had the idea of using the location to satisfy her curiosity and indignation.

Although the royal honor guard is bright and colorful, and the crown is densely clustered, if you look carefully, you can still see the royal family sitting upright in several cars from a passing angle.

The bright yellow figure sitting in the middle of the first car was undoubtedly His Majesty the Emperor.

Beside him, there were two women, the woman in the middle, the color of her clothes was relatively faint, but she seemed to have a kind of aura and was out of the ordinary. The woman sitting on the periphery was dressed in great luxury.

The woman in the gorgeous costume is separated by a misty light gauze curtain, so that people from the outside world cannot see the details of her face, and only her face can be seen with a very soft outline. She has high cloud temples, phoenix hairpins spread her wings, tassels are delicately made of pearls, her robe is embroidered with golden silk thread with gorgeous phoenix totems, and her shoulders are covered with crystal pearls...... Even though the curtain obscured her face, it could not stop the brilliance reflected by the precious ornaments that adorned her body.

This noble woman was originally going to be canonized as a noble concubine this year, but because of the siege and killing of the Kyoto officials, the emperor's mood and the festive atmosphere in the palace were destroyed, so that the coronation ceremony was pushed to the head of the four royal concubines to be held next year: Concubine De.

In fact, there is a real first concubine above the four concubines, but because His Majesty the Emperor of Nanzhao has not been crowned a concubine, since he is about to become a concubine, but the Jin Title Ceremony has been slightly postponed for some reason, so she is still undoubtedly the title of the four concubines, but she is the head of the four concubines.

In the middle of the emperor and Concubine De, the Shaohua woman who sat with quite a charm was the eldest daughter of the emperor. Although she is not the queen's concubine, she is very loved by the emperor, and the emperor gives her the title Princess Qingluan. In addition, she also hung the name of a lay disciple in Buddhism, so some people even called her Princess Xinzhu.

Princess Xinzhu was not the biological daughter of Concubine De who was sitting next to her at this time, but Concubine De was holding the princess's hand very intimately at this time, as if she would lose the pearl of the emperor's palm as soon as she let go.

Princess Xinzhu faintly felt that her palms were a little wet, and she didn't know if her hands were sweating, or Concubine De's hands were sweating. But she is quiet by nature, so she is prone to passivity in many things. Looking at Concubine De's peaceful and smiling side face, Princess Xinzhu wanted to break free of her hand that was tightly held in the palm of her hand, but she finally hesitated.

But at this moment, she suddenly felt that Concubine De's hand was clenched tighter and tighter for some reason, and her finger bones were a little painful. She finally couldn't help it, and asked softly with a side look: "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Like the other two princes, although they are not the biological children of Concubine De, they have now all changed their words to call Concubine De the queen mother.

The reputation left by Concubine De among the people in the palace is as virtuous and generous as her title. There are already many palace people secretly discussing that the road after Concubine De is sealed will be the honorary destination that she will be able to go to, and what is needed in the process is probably only the condition of time.

Nanzhao followed most of the ritual systems of the previous dynasty, and the three industries of benevolence, filial piety, and etiquette were completely inherited, and the royal family set an example. In the future, if it really comes to the day when Concubine De is crowned, it is also necessary for all the imperial heirs to call her the queen mother.

Concubine De seemed to be distracted by something just now, and when she heard the sound and looked at the princess, it was not until she saw the princess's slightly frowning brows that she seemed to come back to her senses and immediately let go of her hand.

Immediately, she grabbed the princess's hand again, covered it in her palm, stroked it gently, and said softly, "Does it hurt the princess?" It's all the mother concubine who is not good......"

At this time, the emperor, who had been sitting upright and looking ahead, also looked sideways, looking at his wife and daughter, the sense of responsibility and care in his heart as a husband and father had not been completely wiped out by the supreme power because of sitting on the throne, his eyes slowed slightly, and he said softly: "What's the matter?" ”

The tender concern in the words is as delicate and appropriate as when the young couple closes the door and whispers.

Concubine De bent her fingers and gently pressed the corner of her forehead with the back of her hand, and said apologetically: "The concubine is a little dizzy, maybe she is a little unaccustomed to the seaside environment." I thought I was going to fall just now, and I couldn't help but be nervous, and I pinched Qing'er's hand, I'm really sorry. ”

The emperor's eyes moved slightly, his voice tightened slightly, and he immediately said: "Pass the imperial doctor......

He only said half a syllable with the word "royal" before he was stopped by Concubine De. She shook her head lightly and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine is really just slightly unwell. It's Hong'er, he has always been weak, he was standing next to his concubine just now, and the sea breeze was also blowing, I don't know how it is now. Hong'er is a smart and kind child, but in her own affairs, she always loves to support her...... Your Majesty should hurry back to the palace and don't delay the time on the road any longer. ”。 (To be continued......)
