Chapter 175: Osmanthus Cake
originally thought that he was leaving, Rong Xi thought that she could go back to the room to rest for a while, but seeing that he was still not leaving, he had to sit down again.
After waiting for a while, he still couldn't wait, and looked at him urgently: "Isn't the prince ready to leave the palace?" It's almost time to get the key. ”
After glancing at the hour, Rong Xi had no choice but to urge out loud, but he didn't expect Mu Guichen to say unhurriedly: "It's okay, anyway, the king's bedroom has been prepared in the palace, if you can't get out, stay in the palace and rest." ”
took out a piece of osmanthus cake, he took a bite, it was sweet, not his taste, but even if he frowned, he still ate it.
Qian Yu on the side glanced at Mu Guichen in some surprise, the regent, who never eats sweets, actually ate sweets one day, this news is more difficult to digest than any news.
But Rong Xi didn't know this, and only said in his heart that he really liked osmanthus cakes.
"Tomorrow is the day to worship the ancestors, the prince should go back to rest and rest, and tomorrow he will be able to perform a good show."
She said this euphemistically, obviously urging him to leave quickly, but she obediently said that in order to worship his ancestors tomorrow, he recuperated his spirits.
Mu Guichen looked at her, and after not seeing her for a few days, he felt more and more that she looked better, and seemed to have lost some weight.
After just a few glances at her, he was reluctant to leave, but at this time, he couldn't let Rong Xi understand his intentions, if he knew, he was afraid that she would run away in fright.
It's clear that the beauty is right in front of you, but you can't embrace the soft fragrance, which is really uncomfortable.
"Okay, the king will leave, and the queen mother will rest well and see you tomorrow."
got up, Mu Guichen didn't forget the osmanthus cake, and left the Jiaofang Hall with him.
As soon as he left, Rong Xi returned to the side hall to rest, and he didn't even bother to take off his outer robe, and just lay on the bed to rest.
Lu Qi came in from outside, saw her appearance, and smiled lightly.
"If this appearance of Niangniang is seen by people outside, I don't know how to laugh at you."
took off her clothes and boots for her, and Lu Qi arranged a table of meals for her so that she could rest after eating.
After eating, Rong Xi had to nourish his spirit for tomorrow, so he washed his body hard, and then slowly fell into his senses.
This night, it was much easier to fall asleep than the previous nights.
The next day, before dawn, Rong Xi was woken up by Lu Qi, she opened her eyes, looked at the sky outside, and was dazed, thinking that she had just fallen asleep.
"What's wrong?"
Rubbing her eyes, she made a confused sound, Lu Qi saw this, and asked the people outside to bring in the clothes, it was a phoenix robe, ancestor worship ceremony, she needed to wear formal clothes, not only that, but also to wear a heavy phoenix crown, this outfit, in this hot summer, can cover up the prickly heat and be pressed dizzy.
"Niangniang, hurry up and get ready, it's about to dawn."
Handing over the water-soaked handkerchief, Lu Qi urged, and the palace maids came in, busy arranging everything.
"So fast?"
The sleepy insect disappeared all at once, and Yong-hee was frightened.
"It's still fast, it's almost dawn, if you don't hurry up, you won't be able to catch up with the meeting."
Lu Qi said as she pulled her to stand up, and the palace maids had already begun to dress her in phoenix robes.
Rong Xi was dragged to eat in a daze, and after putting on makeup and freshening up, the sky was already bright, as Lu Qi said, the time was urgent, but it was really just right.
"Lu Qi, sometimes the mourning family admires you."
Standing outside the Hall of Light, Rong Xi couldn't help but whisper.
The ancestor worship ceremony began as the two of them left, Rong Xi took Mu Yan's little hand and walked step by step onto the ancestor worship platform.
The Taoist priests were already in place and were casting spells, Rong Xi stepped forward, followed the instructions of the Taoist priest, picked up the incense on the side, lit it, and slowly knelt down.
Mu Yan followed her and knelt beside her, and the sound of Taoist priests casting spells came from her ears, and she slowly closed her eyes.
The ceremony began, and the ministers knelt down.
Just as everyone was worshipping their ancestors devoutly, suddenly a team of troops broke through the palace gate and killed in, Rong Xi seemed to feel something, and glanced back at Mu Guichen, who was kneeling under the stage, saw her looking over, and gave her a reassuring look.
Yes, with Mu Guichen here, why should she worry?
Thinking like this, Rong Xi felt a lot more relieved, even if she knew that there would be a bloody storm later, she still trusted him.
On the contrary, it was Mu Yan's side, he couldn't calm down, and frequently looked left and right, afraid that in the next second, someone would rush in and kill him.
When he turned around, he saw Mu Guichen looking at this side lightly, and his heart was even more uneasy.
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty? ”
At this time, he heard Rong Xi beside him call him twice, Mu Yan looked at her in confusion, and found that everyone was looking at him.
The Taoist priest was holding a sword, as if he wanted him to cooperate, but he didn't want him to be distracted.
Mu Yan saw the expressions of the ministers, he seemed to be a little dissatisfied, he hurriedly got up, and followed the instructions of the Taoist priest to do it obediently, he was too scared.
"Your Majesty......"
Seeing Mu Yan's fear, Rong Xi couldn't help but call softly.
At such a young age, how can he bear so much? Rong Xi was very distressed, but he also knew that he had no way to help him, this was fate.
"Kill—"
At this moment, the army that had broken through the palace gate rushed in, and the deafening sound frightened all the officials present.
The crowd didn't care about worshipping their ancestors, so they got up one after another and fled for their lives, but the army rode horses and surrounded them.
"This ...... What is it? ”
Everyone panicked, the timid palace maids fainted, and the accompanying forbidden army was suppressed by the army rushing in, and they lost all protection.
Mu Yan looked at this scene, his face was pale, his little hand shook, and the sword fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Rong Xi protected him in front of him and patted him on the shoulder soothingly: "Your Majesty, don't be afraid, there is still a mourning family." ”
Seeing Mu Yan's panicked expression, she couldn't help but whisper to reassure.
miscalculated, she forgot to count Mu Yan, when Mu Yan saw this scene, how scared he would be, she and Mu Guichen didn't count.
looked at the bottom, and saw that Mu Guichen was looking at this side, Rong Xi was stunned.
"No, no, it's not that it didn't count......"
Looking at Mu Guichen's expression, it was obvious that he had guessed all this, Rong Xi shook his head, Mu Yan hid in her arms, and when he heard this, his eyes looked at her.
"Your Majesty, don't be afraid, I'm here."
Feeling his gaze, Rong Xi lowered his head and hugged him comfortingly.
"Hahahahaha......"
