Chapter 10: Encountering an Assassin at the Altar

Since Yue Qingqian has entered the palace, her outfit is naturally not as simple as in the Yueluo Nunnery before. It's just that the wedding hasn't been held yet, and the makeup and dress are still relatively elegant, but they give full play to her advantages.

Qin Moxuan admitted that she was very beautiful, and she became even more beautiful after dressing up. The beauty of the moon is the kind that cannot be blasphemed, and coupled with the coldness around her, she feels that she can only watch it from a distance. Therefore, although Qin Moxuan was amazed, he did not have any charming thoughts.

"Qiuyue, Qiushui, take Mama Yang to the residence to familiarize yourself with it." Yue Qingqian commanded.

"Yes."

After Mama Yang heard this, her good impression deepened. smiled kindly: "Niangniang, this rule will be taught from this afternoon." ”

"Okay, I'm tired of Mama."

After Mama Yang left, Qin Moxuan glanced at the bookcase on the side, saw the four treasures of the study room spread out on it, and said with interest: "What are you writing?" ”

Ever since yesterday he read the annotations she made on the book she took from her, Qin Moxuan has been in a state of some excitement. I wondered if she was doing some book annotations again, and I was a little curious.

Because of curiosity, I walked straight over.

Yue Qingqian followed behind and said, "I didn't write anything, I was just copying Buddhist scriptures." ”

Qin Moxuan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Yue Qingqian had lived in the Yueluo Nunnery for five years, and it was normal to copy scriptures and the like.

When I got closer, I was really copying Buddhist scriptures, and looking at the beautiful and flexible font on the rice paper, I determined that the annotation was made by Yue Qingqian.

He said, "The words are good. ”

Yue Qingqian was stunned for a moment, smiled, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for complimenting." ”

Qin Moxuan walked to the bookshelf again, and said as he walked: "I just came to the palace, did you sleep well last night?" ”

Yue Qingqian replied casually: "It's okay." ”

"The book you borrowed from Gu yesterday, Gu has finished reading it, and I will send someone to return it to you later." Qin Moxuan said suddenly.

“…… Good. Yue Qingqian was a little embarrassed, since she had finished reading it, wouldn't she have read the annotations on her book as well?

Qin Moxuan also saw Yue Qingqian's bookshelf yesterday, but at that time, it was just because she was bathing, and she was bored and casually took a book from her bookshelf to pass the time.

But today, he wanted to know more about what books she was reading.

I didn't expect these books to be divided into categories, there are more books on the art of war and statecraft, and there are very few poems and songs.

Qin Moxuan looked through it casually, but not all books have annotations, some are bamboo slips, which are not easy to look at. However, some of the bamboo slips have a palm-sized booklet attached to them, and some opinions are written on them.

He also found a rule, the more worn the book, the more unexpectedly there will be annotations on it.

Yue Qingqian looked at Qin Moxuan looking through his bookshelf, and said with an indescribable strangeness in his heart, "What is Your Majesty looking for?" ”

Qin Moxuan said casually: "Don't you have a lot of lonely books here?" I want to see if there are any books that interest me. ”

Yue Qingqian: "......" Is he really just here for the solitary book?

Qin Moxuan looked at it almost as soon as he flipped through it, so he took a book of the way of governing the country and the art of war that were quite worn, and said, "Borrow these two books and take a look at them, and I will return them to you in two days." ”

Yue Qingqian thought about it and said a little strangely: "Your Majesty's library should have more precious books, why are you so interested in the concubine's books?" These two books are not unique, she doesn't believe that Qin Moxuan's library does not have these two books.

"The queen refuses to borrow it?" Qin Moxuan raised his eyebrows.

Yue Qingqian was a little speechless and said, "Your Majesty misunderstood, the concubine just thought it was strange." How did she think he was reading his own commentary, was that she thinking too much?

"Then the lonely borrowed it." Qin Moxuan said smoothly. Kept silent about what Yue Qingqian felt strange, as if he hadn't heard it at all.

Qin Moxuan took the book and was about to leave, and before leaving, he said again: "By the way, if the queen wants to read any other books, she can also go to the library to have a look." ”

"Okay." She really wanted to go to the library to see that there should be more rare books there.

In the afternoon, Yue Qingqian learned the rules of the palace with Mama Yang. Mama Yang teaches very seriously, and Yue Qingqian's foundation is also very solid and she learns quickly.

Actually, it's mainly because she has already learned most of them, but some of them are only slightly understood.

Yue Qingqian only studied for three days, and then learned all the rules in the palace. In the three days that Mama Yang has been with Yue Qingqian, she likes Yue Qingqian more and more, and feels that she is indeed capable of being the queen.

After the rules were taught, Mama Yang was not in a hurry to leave, she still wanted to know more about the future queen. Moreover, the wedding date is coming soon, and she also stays to help.

Half a month passed in a flash, and soon it was the day of the wedding.

The entire palace is shrouded in joy, and there is another very important process before the wedding, that is, the sacrifice to the sky.

In the palace, there is a sacrificial roof, and in the Western Qin Kingdom, the king and the queen have to sacrifice to the sky when they get married. In order to let heaven and earth learn from each other, the two tied the knot. It is also for the sake of good weather in the coming year and blessing the people and the country.

On this day, the sun was shining and the breeze was gentle. In March, it was really a good day to get married.

Qin Moxuan and Yue Qingqian were wearing Yonghua's sacrificial brocade clothes, with long exquisite clothes dragging behind them. Qin Moxuan's back coat was embroidered with a golden dragon tail, while Yue Qingqian's back coat was embroidered with a golden phoenix tail.

A dragon and a phoenix, side by side, dragged on the steps of the altar.

Under the altar of the sacrifice is kneeling Manchu civil and military, this scene is very spectacular.

Qin Moxuan took Yue Qingqian's hand and ascended to the altar, and the two lit the fire on the altar together.

The two watched as the flames rose higher and higher, and burned more and more fiercely, and they knelt down together and prayed.

After reading it, Qin Moxuan suddenly said to Yue Qingqian: "Is it a letter lonely?" ”

Yue Qing hooked the corners of her mouth lightly, and her thin lips opened lightly: "Letter." ”

The two of them got up together, and at this moment, some people holding sacrificial supplies next to the altar suddenly threw away their things and showed their weapons.

There was chaos on the altar for a moment, apparently due to an assassin.

The civil and military officials in the audience were shocked, and hurriedly shouted: "Someone, there are assassins." Come and escort! ”

"Quick, protect the emperor!"

The guards were guarding behind the hundred officials, and when they sensed that something was wrong, they hurriedly ran to the altar.

Just when everyone was shocked, on the altar of the sacrifice, Qin Moxuan took Yue Qingqian's hand and hurriedly dodged the attack of an assassin. Then, Qin Moxuan directly pulled out a soft sword from his waist and protected Yue Qingqian to fight with the assassins.
