Under Su Lan's service, Zhao Yu changed into a white robe, a jade belt around his waist, a jade pendant hanging on his waist, his long hair was hairpinned with a golden crown, his feet were inlaid with silver-edged soap-colored boots, and he had a face that was not ugly, coupled with a slender and strong figure that he had cultivated through long-term martial arts, he seemed to be a beautiful young man.

"The official family is older!" Su Lan straightened the little emperor's clothes again, raised his head and said with a chuckle.

"My sister is getting more and more beautiful!" Zhao Yu was already taller than Su Lan, and when he looked down and saw Su Lan's pretty face, he suddenly couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his face.

"Don't talk nonsense about the officials, the slaves and maids are already ugly!" Su Lan gently brushed away the little emperor's hand and said with a smile.

"My sister is in the blooming season, how can she be old!" Zhao Hao looked at his slightly bitter smile, but there was an inexplicable pain in his heart, he gently grabbed his shoulders and smiled. In this era, women generally reach the age of fourteen, that is to say, the year of marriage, Su Lan has been by his side for six years, and she is already one in twenty, but unlike modern society, she can still enjoy the happiness of youth, and has become an old girl who can't get married.

"The official family is talking stupidly again, but he is not the child he used to be!" Su Lan struggled for a moment, but felt that His Majesty's hands were gripping tighter, and his face flushed.

"I'm not a child...... Zhao Yu pulled his arm back, pulled Su Lan over, and wrapped his hand around her waist. The bodies of the two people were close together, and he looked at his face flushed with panic, and his heart ached, if it weren't for his own selfishness, he wouldn't have stayed in the palace for a long time and turned into an old girl.

"Official, don't make trouble, your clothes are wrinkled...... you can hear each other's breathing, Su Lan felt the little emperor's breathing become short, she turned her face and said in confusion.

"Why is my sister's face red?" Seeing his panicked appearance, Zhao Hao immediately realized that he was too abrupt, so he let go of his hand and smiled.

"Now that the official family is older, they can't play around like before!" Su Lan took a step back, and felt that her face was hot, the two of them had been together for many years, and their daily behavior was intimate, but everyone thought that the little emperor was a child, even if it seemed ambiguous, no one cared about it, just that the child didn't know how to play with men and women. But today she knows that although the name is to worship the queen mother and accompany the little emperor to worship the moon, it is really to let His Majesty choose a concubine among the show girls, and as a woman, she can't help but feel lost and desolate in her heart, and I am afraid that there will be no more Mowgli in the past. It's better to let the little emperor know as soon as possible, so as not to be hated by the newcomer, and then give a salute.

"Sister Su is leaving me?" Zhao Yu has never eaten pork and has always seen pigs run, not to mention that in the later generations, there are no dramas about men and women, and primary school students have begun to talk about me, not to mention that he, an old man, can't see his thoughts, and his face immediately changed gloomily.

"The official wedding is imminent, and there will be newlyweds to serve, slaves and maids...... The slave is so inconvenient! Seeing the sad appearance of the little emperor, his heart ached, and he stepped forward to lead the way for him.

"Inconvenience, what's the inconvenience? No one can drive my sister away from me, otherwise I'd rather not be the queen! Zhao Hao snorted coldly. For so many years, he couldn't tell the relationship with Su Lan. said that it was a master and servant, and he felt more like a brother and sister; And when it comes to being a brother and sister, he feels more like a lover. Although the two have nothing to do with men and women, he has become emotionally attached to him, and likes to talk to him about his heart, relieve the depression in his heart, and share his happiness. And in terms of psychological age, he feels more and more that those newly selected show girls outside the door are just helping middle school students who have not yet graduated, and they know a fart about feelings!

"The official family is still a child after all, and it is a major event of the country after the establishment, how can he be capricious!" Su Lan's heart warmed when she heard this, but she still took a step back and said.

It would be a lie to say that he had no feelings with the little emperor for so many years, but Su Lan never dared to hope that there would be his own place in the inner palace, but he already had feelings in his heart. Others say that the little emperor does not act like a child at all, but in her opinion, he is not only familiar with military affairs and governing the country, but also knows many strange things. After getting along with it for a long time, sometimes there is an illusion that the little emperor is just the wrong child, and it is clear that he is an adult hiding in the body of a child.

"What's the point of being willful once?" Zhao Yu liked to see Su Lan like this, and knew that he was doing it for his own good, but he put on a nonchalant look.

"Although the official family is so well-intentioned, it will not be tolerated by the palace, I am afraid that there will be no place to stand, and I ask the official family to let go of the slaves!" Of course, Su Lan knew her status in the palace, if Your Majesty refused to marry because of this, it would harm not only Your Majesty, but also herself, so she saluted again.

"But I'm sure I won't let my sister go, so there's no other way!" Zhao Yu knew that what Su Lan said was good, if he really fell out with the Queen Mother because of this, he would become the public enemy of the inner palace, and even if he would not be given death, he would definitely be driven out of the palace. But he was confident that he could still keep her, but he pretended to be panicked.

"Unless ......" Su Lan knew that her chances were running out, and if the little emperor insisted on going his own way, he would harm him. In a hurry, he thought of a way, but when he blurted out, he felt unspeakable, and lowered his head with a red face.

She knows the rules of the palace, the emperor's wedding is a matter that the emperor thinks is to pass on the lineage, spread the heirs, and continue the incense, but it is not only a royal event, but also a national event. Therefore, before marriage, the palace maids who are a little older and have good character will be selected for the emperor to teach men and women about the affairs, and from then on they will have a name, and from then on they will become women with status in the palace, and they will receive a salary every month, and they will no longer be engaged in labor like other ordinary palace maids.

Therefore, this mission has always been expected by the palace maids, hoping to get out of the sea of suffering and ascend to the sky in one step. A few years ago, the Queen Mother also hinted to Su Lan in private, asking her to teach the little emperor and promote herself to a female official, but she found that Her Majesty seemed to know about it, but she had some scruples, and she always tried to avoid it, as if it was not like breaking the relationship between the two, and then the battle to recover Jiangnan began, so she put the matter down. And if it is mentioned at this time, it will not seem too sophisticated, so that the little emperor will look lightly.

"Unless what?" Zhao Yu didn't know what he was thinking, and still asked.

"Official, the moon has risen, and the moon sacrifice ceremony is about to begin, let's go out, otherwise the Queen Mother will send someone to urge!" Su Lan didn't answer, but said calmly.

"Oh, the moon is out, it's time to go out to greet the Queen Mother!" Zhao Hao turned his face to look out of the window, and sure enough, it was bright, he turned his head and said, "But my sister will tell me later, unless what?" ”

"Officials, don't joke, hurry up!" Su Lan listened to the complexion that had just recovered and turned red again, and quickly lowered her head and tidied up the clothes for the little emperor, to see if there was anything wrong, before raising her head and trying to straighten her face. But the little emperor had a bad smile on his face, which made her difficult to support, and she felt that her neck was feverish......

When Zhao Yu came out of the door, he saw lanterns hanging high in the courtyard, all of which were also lit, taking advantage of the moonlight to illuminate the courtyard. Wang De has led a group of officials to wait in the courtyard, he first asked the Queen Mother to drive, and then took a chariot to go. The place of worship of the moon was chosen by the lake in the temple, and the guards had already closed this place, and the surrounding poles were erected to light up the lanterns, and the trees were also decorated with colorful silks, and a group of people had been waiting for a long time, and they remembered the sound of music when they saw the holy car.

"The emperor is in the court, and the spirit is reversed. God sits on the security guard, Xiao Ruo has a promise. Jiayu is both Shen and Dewen Weixin. Spiritual light stays in Yu, Zuo I am 100 million years old...... "Zhao Yu followed the prestige, and saw that there were 12 bands arranged on the side of the venue, with nine people in each case, and a total of 108 musicians.

Zhao Yu shook his head secretly after seeing it, although there was also a teaching department in the Qiongzhou Palace in the past, there were only a few hundred musicians and kabuki to meet the court and sacrifice purposes. And he didn't dare to be interested in these, rarely called for them, most of the time was idle, and never thought of expanding. Now that he has returned to his hometown, it stands to reason that he should gradually restore and improve the etiquette, but he thinks that it should also be moderate, so as not to waste the country's children, and now he sees no less than two or three hundred musicians and kabuki, but it is just for the sake of worshipping the moon, which is too extravagant.

"Welcome to the Queen Mother, welcome Your Majesty!" With Zhao Yu's temperament, if he wasn't afraid of sweeping the Queen Mother's interest, he would have kicked the field, but he could only endure it at the moment. At this time, everyone stepped forward and saluted in unison.

"No rudeness!" Empress Dowager Yang raised her hand and said.

"Queen Mother, be careful!" didn't wait for everyone to return the salute, Zhao Yu had already stepped forward to support the Queen Mother, and entered the place of sacrifice to the moon under the guidance of Wang De.

At this time, the moon has risen, and it is slightly southeast. And today the sky seems to be very face-saving, the night sky is bright and the moon is sparse, and only a few clouds are dotted in between. Facing the moon, there is a long table as a sacrifice, on which an incense burner is placed, there is a red candle on each side, and several other offerings, nothing more than moon cakes, watermelons, pomegranates, citrus, grapes and other fruits.

According to the custom, among those who participate in the moon sacrifice, one chief priest, one salute, and a number of deacons, and the others are subordinate sacrifices. It is customary to use an older female elder or housewife as the officiating priest, and the Queen Mother is of course the best choice. Traditionally, men participate in the moon worship but do not worship the moon, but can serve as deacons to assist in the moon worship or other assistance work.

In front of the sacrificial table is the position of the main priest, and after Zhao Yu helped the queen mother here, he retreated to the right side of the deacon's position, followed by the seat of the priest. The ground had been covered with felt to keep out the moisture, and a blanket had been laid on top of it, and soft cushions had been placed for everyone to sit on. After the Queen Mother and he took the throne, others also took place one after another, and the one who served as the praise was the Wang Yu girl in his opinion, and Wu Xi and Zhang Ping, who were also deacons with him, but they did not have long legs and a melancholy sister. And not all the people who were sacrificed were qualified, and he saw that there were about thirty people, all of whom were kneeling and sitting behind.

"Worship the moon!" After everyone was in place, Wang Yu said loudly. As soon as the sound fell, the music resumed, and "The Music of Xi'an" was played.

"Incense!" Praise and sing again. And Zhao Yu suddenly felt that someone had touched him, turned his face and saw Wu Xi handing him three sticks of incense, only to realize that this was also his own work, he quickly took it and nodded slightly to express his gratitude and reminder, and he squatted slightly to return the salute. He took a few steps forward to send three incense sticks, and the Queen Mother took it and lit it on the candle flame, saluted Haoyue, and then inserted the incense on the incense burner, and so on three times.

"Sacrificial wine!" Praise and sing again. Zhao Yu had experience this time, and hurriedly went to get the wine jug and wine glass, but Wu Xi only handed him the wine jue, stepped forward together, and went to the side of the main priest to pour the wine jue and hand it to the queen mother. Empress Dowager Yang sprinkled the wine on the ground in front of the banquet, and then put the wine on the sacrificial table, so that the ceremony was completed three times.

"Reading wishes!" After the sacrificial wine was finished, the salute was sung again. And the band immediately transferred "The Music of Xi'an", Zhao Hao found that this praise is not just as simple as shouting two sentences, but to master the time and rhythm of the sacrifice according to the performance of the band.

"Wei Xiangxing is in the mid-autumn of the eighth year. The mountains are connected to the silver man, and the Qionghu is beautiful; The breeze is breezy and autumn is at its best. Toad Palace Tsinghua, Dangui Mixiang; Chixian Shenzhou, a total of covetous. Aurora in China, the same Xiang in the heyday; The people of the Great Song Dynasty are wearing all the crowns. fasting and drinking, bathing in incense; Prepare for the freshness of the season, and set up different recipes. Sincere sacrifice, pray for the details of the ......"

"What a clear voice!" It is said that it should be the chief priest who reads the blessings, but how can the queen mother speak easily, she can only be read by others, and it is Cheng Su who is on the stage, her voice is not only loud, the sound is in the ears, and it is as crisp as a falling bead plate, Zhao Yu couldn't help but praise softly.

"Your Majesty, Miss Cheng not only has a good voice, but this blessing is also from her pen, with a good sound and rhyme, which is really a rare work!" At this time, Wu Xi answered.

"Well, that's good!" Zhao Yu nodded and said softly. And in my heart, I wondered tightly, how could this not match the drama of Gong Dou, it is said that now the position is undecided, everyone should step on each other, but it is not a good word for it. couldn't help but let him look at Wu Xi twice, secretly thinking that this little girl has a lot of eyes and deliberately shows generosity to herself? Or is it really pure and good, and everything comes from the heart? But at the moment, it is at least very sobering and insightful.

"Worship the moon!" Zhao Hao's kung fu, the blessing has been read aloud, the queen mother took over the lighting to incinerate the blessing, and the chief priest and the participants completed the moon worship in the praise of the "worship-xing-worship-xing-flat body" sound.

"From the dedication!" After the moon worship was completed, the chief priest stepped down and said in a loud voice. "The Joy of Qian'an" was played again, and the participants went to the memorial table according to the order of the elders and the young, knelt down, offered incense, silently prayed to their hearts, and bowed to the moon. And Zhao Yu had to distribute the incense to everyone who was sacrificed, which also allowed him to see the beauty of each of the show girls......
