At night, Ling Qingxi was half-lying on the collapse after bathing and changing clothes, casually flipping through a book of "Night Rain Poems", and there were words in his mouth: "The ancient wonderful pen is like a fairy word, and the ink marks are faint and fascinating." Turning the rain into rain for nine days, not washing evil poems with Yuan Yi. With that, he flicked his sleeves and put the book aside.

Moon Shadow, who was practicing calligraphy in front of the table, stopped her pen and looked sideways, and hurriedly said, "Did the girl say that Lord Yuan's poems were not written well?" He is the uncle of the country. You can be careful with this, and don't talk nonsense when you go out. ”

"Whether it's good or bad is just a matter of everyone's feelings. It's just that the poems are written so obscurely, I don't like it. Qingxi didn't seem to care much about Yuan Yi's identity. After speaking, she glanced at Moon Shadow, pretended to be angry, and straightened her waist: "You have taught me a lesson, so let's have one more copy of today's notebook." ”

"Huh?" Moon Shadow's eyes widened first, and then she pursed her lips in an angry expression, as if begging for mercy.

But she looked at her girl's unpowdered face white and clear, her thin eyebrows were slightly raised, and her far-reaching eyes were waiting quietly, so she knew that there was no room for negotiation, so she had to silently bow her head and continue to copy, but her mouth was reluctant to mutter: "Shouldn't you be happy today?" This is going to go to Baoding Mountain with the holy car. Don't you really want to see the beauty of the Baoding Blood Juan, the spring moon in the Jade Pavilion? ”

Speaking of driving Baoding Mountain, Ling Qingxi's eyebrows furrowed slightly. Ling Deyan explained the matter to her, cautiously and carefully, his words were full of worry, and there was no sense of joy at all. Their father's doubts were also her doubts, and the only reason they knew now was that their father had been ordered to inspect the southwest and punish several corrupt officials, but how could this credit win such appreciation? Tonight, my father clearly had something to say. At this time, it would be good if my brother was here, and he would definitely be able to help his father analyze and deal with it.

"Girl!" Ling Qingxi's thoughts were interrupted by a sudden call from Moon Shadow. "Girl, you'll take me." Moon Shadow held her pen and looked expectant.

Ling Qingxi glanced at her again, lowered his eyes and nodded: "Father said that according to the rules, I can bring an entourage, how can I get rid of you!" ”

When Moon Shadow heard this, she was overjoyed, and she felt that the words written by herself on the table were a little better.

Qingxi looked at her silly appearance and didn't feel funny, "So happy?" If you are a partner of three or five, you can travel together in spring, unrestrained, and the beautiful scenery is the beautiful scenery. This time I traveled with you, there are a lot of etiquette rules, and I have no interest in it, which is really ruining the interest. As she spoke, she lay on her back and sighed.

Moon Shadow hurriedly put down the pen in her hand and ran to the side of the bed, with a thirsty expression: "Girl, you tell me about this blessing ceremony." Are we going to stay on Baoding Mountain for a few days? ”

Ling Qingxi looked at the moon shadow with flashing eyes, full of anticipation for her answer, so he got up in one go, cleared his throat and said, "Since the beginning of my dynasty, it has been established for three generations. The blessing ceremony, once every three years, since Taizu established this rule, except for Emperor Gaozong who had a year of imperial expedition to resist the invasion of Danda in the north, it has not been interrupted once. It is said that when Taizu raised troops to build a new Dacheng, in the early days of the founding of the country, the world had just experienced a scuffle, and it was necessary to recuperate, but the locusts were raging that year, and the people were not able to make a living. Taizu took the civil and military officials to pray for the highest Baoding Mountain near Shangdu, may God have mercy on the people, God bless the Dacheng, in this blessing ceremony, his old man also ate locusts to show his determination to exterminate locusts. Later, after concerted efforts and hard work, the locust plague survived. So, since then, Taizu has set a rule, once every three years, the emperor will go to Baoding Mountain in person to pray for the blessings of the people, taste the things that the world cannot taste, and taste the suffering of the people. This is where the prayer ceremony comes in. It's just that this ritual has come to this day, but it is just a formality, and the bitterness is not tasted, it is nothing more than a holy prayer to the heavens and the earth, and it will probably take half a day. The royal palace was built on Baoding Mountain, and every time the saint always had to stay for three or five days, it should be a collective retreat to go and play. I think that for the people: in the line, not in the ceremony; In the heart, not in the table; In reality, not in fiction. ”

After hearing this, Moon Shadow nodded in understanding, with a look of admiration on her face, thinking that she was worthy of being her own girl, and she knew everything. "If you inquire about this matter a little, you can know everything. That is, you follow me all day long, and you have surrounded your heaven and earth. ”

"How? The girl's world is big, and the moon shadow's world is naturally big. ”

"My world?" Ling Qingxi choked his mouth, "My world is to go to Baoding Mountain, and I have to be encircled and detained. ”

In order to soothe her seemingly depressed mood, Moon Shadow turned her eyes around and said, "It's the grace of the Holy One!" Besides, isn't there still a crown princess? ”

Shen Tong has been married into the prince's mansion for more than a year, and in the past, the sisters talked and laughed and came and went freely. But now in the land of the East Palace, the identity of the crown princess, it is inconvenient for her to enter and exit a girl's house, and she has not seen Shen Tong for more than half a year.

Speaking of Shen Tong, Ling Qingxi's eyes condensed a complex light, just like the thoughts in his heart, entangled together, not yet smooth and straight, he is still like this, let alone his brother.

"Girl, did you say that the crown princess was voluntary? She and the young master ......" Before Moon Shadow could finish speaking, he was stopped by Ling Qingxi's sharp eyes.

She snapped, "Moon Shadow, you said something you shouldn't have said. ”

Moon Shadow stuck out her tongue, silent.

The moonlight penetrated through the window and hit the bookshelf, casting a room of clear light, and also clouding Ling Qingxi's heart. Whether it is voluntary or not is no longer very important in the face of a decree. Since there is no power to change, accepting it calmly is the way of life.

Thinking of this, she stuffed the poetry collection that was on the side into Moon Shadow's arms, "I can't go out before I go to Baoding Mountain, tomorrow you ask Ou Bo to send this book to Zeng's mansion, and tell their family, Major General Zeng, I will return the poetry collection, and ask him to send my things back." ”

Moon Shadow flattened the book in her arms and said with a smile: "Young General Zeng received the news that the girl was looking for him as soon as he returned to Shangdu after this errand, and he must be very happy. ”

Qingxi waved his hand and said seriously: "First, I'm asking for things, not looking for someone. Second, don't use your little bit of caution to make fun of me. Rest, I'm tired. ”
