Chapter 10: The Great Canon
Through the crack in the window, Mu Siyan saw Chen Jian whispering in his ear, and Chen Jingsui's face became more and more hideous, his hands clenched into fists, as if full of anger, seeing his master and servant leave in a hurry, his originally tense body suddenly relaxed, slumped on the edge of the couch, and was silent.
The master and servant walked along the corridor, the diameter went around into the side courtyard, and after confirming that no one was tracking, Chen Jing then drilled into a rockery cave, and the narrow road became more and more wide, and the more they walked, the brighter and brighter they became, as if a faction used the cave.
When he came to the end, a huge rock blocked the way, Chen Jian opened the dark grid with a stone spoon, twisted the mechanism, the huge rock opened left and right, Chen Jing stepped on the steps, the more he went inside, the heavier the smell of blood, he covered his nose, came to the front of the cell, and vaguely saw a ragged man hiding in the corner.
"Him?" Chen Jian glanced at the prisoner and asked hesitantly, "Lord Wang, what should I do?" ”
Chen Jingsui squatted down, stared at the man, and asked indifferently: "Assassinate this king, kidnap the princess, heh, what do you say this king should do?" Seeing that the man was indifferent, he got up and said with a smile: "Chen Jian, let him go, I want to see who will take this evil breath for this king." ”
"No, I understand."
On the winter solstice, when the emperor personally led the harem concubines to the outer hall of the temple, they got off the sedan chair one after another.
Entering the inner courtyard, Mu Siyan looked around while walking inside, only to see white marble paving the road, and a few pine and cypress trees were planted on both sides. On the main entrance of the main hall, there is a Kowloon gold plaque of 'Cautious and Chasing Away'.
Crossing the threshold, Mu Siyan saw that the doors of all the halls were open, and the plaque with the title of "Taimiao" was hanging high.
She followed Concubine Chen and others into the main hall from the side door, the brocade curtain in front of the shadow was hung high, the jade screen was protected, and a group of eunuchs and palace maids retreated to the side door. Mu Siyan looked up at the hall, only to see the brilliant incense candles, the brocade curtain embroidered, the portrait of the emperor hanging high on the wall, and the tablet on the desk.
The sound of ritual music started, she saw the prince, clan relatives, civil and military officials standing at the door of the hall in shifts, the main Ya two sacrifices before and after the hall, Chen Qiyuan took the three pillars of incense, the imperial brother Chen Qichong took a cup of sake, kneeling in the center of the hall.
Chunfu waved the dust and shouted loudly: "Don't forget the order, Zhaode Liezu; Spring and Autumn bandits, protect future generations. Kneel, prostrate! ”
Chen Qiyuan bowed down with incense, Mu Siyan followed and knelt on the ground, and suddenly, there was silence inside and outside the temple, only the sonorous jingling, the sound of the golden bell and jade pei swaying slightly, and the sound of kneeling boots.
Chun Fu shouted again: "Xing, kowtow again!" ”
After burning the silk and drinking wine, after reciting the sacrificial text, everyone kowtowed three times, the ritual music stopped, and the two Chen Qiyuan brothers took the lead in withdrawing.
After the sacrificial ceremony, Chen Qiyuan ordered the family banquet to be placed in the Ning'an Palace, and more than a dozen seats were placed in the flower hall of the main hall.
Mu Siyan saw that there were a few cases next to each seat, and the two things in the stove bottle were placed on top of it, but a few chics were added, and the lily palace incense burned in the incense burner was mixed with the fragrance of red plum blossoms, which was refreshing.
After taking a seat, Mu Siyan saw the little maids holding small lacquer square plates, serving delicious wine and food. When she was about to raise the pot to pour wine, she found that there was an extra wine cup next to her, raised her eyes and looked, without waiting for her to react, she only heard: "Princess, I don't know if you would like to pour this cup for this king?" ”
As if smiling, Mu Siyan cooperated and poured a glass of wine, handed it to Chen Jingsui in person, and said politely: "Lord Wang, please." ”
The husband and wife, with a smile and a smile, show their affection.
After the banquet and drinking, everyone left the palace, after the last time, Mu Siyan had lingering palpitations about riding in the carriage with Chen Jingsui, this lonely man and widow sat in the same 'car', maybe something would be done, she deliberately kept a distance from Chen Jingsui.
The air in the carriage seemed to be about to condense, which made Mu Siyan uncomfortable with embarrassment, and suddenly, Chen Jingsui's sentence of 'he is dead' made her heart chuckle.
