After the funeral ceremony, there is also a chanting ceremony presided over by the main temple of the capital and the monks, to surpass the soul of the dead and pray for the safety of the coming year. It's a very grand and very important process. Therefore, on top of the ceremony, the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military, imperial relatives and relatives were all in a solemn atmosphere, and few people dared to speak to the emperor.

Liu Qingyan sat on the soft floor, listening to the chanting voice with a solemn expression, and all that was in her mind was Lu Siguan.

If the scripture book canon is really useful, she hopes that the heavens can feel her piety, protect Lu Siguan who is far away on the frontier, protect him from any mistakes, and be able to return triumphantly without the slightest injury.

This is already her biggest prayer so far.

The chanting ceremony lasted for most of the hour, and then it came to an end.

At the end of the chanting, the imperial relatives need to stand up towards the masters who chant the scriptures, Liu Qingyan knows the process, so she has already moved and prepared, but in the meantime, she also caught a glimpse of a little maid who appeared behind her at some point out of the corner of her eye.

This is a relatively strange maid, because there are many people and messy, somehow she got mixed up with Liu Qingyan's side.

And because she has been lowering her eyebrows, she has not been noticed by anyone, and Wang Zhao, Lu Yujian and Dashuang have actually noticed him, but because of Liu Qingyan's advice, she didn't say anything, but her expression was faint, as if she hadn't seen it at all.

The little maid slowly moved towards Liu Qingyan, and stood beside her, ready to go.

When the host finally got up and everyone was about to stand up, the little maid behind Liu Qingyan also began to act, staring at Liu Qingyan tightly, and was about to pounce on her and push her.

Liu Qingyan sneered, and flashed to the side dexterously, and the little maid pushed into the air, and the whole person fell out.

At the same time, the little maid exclaimed, "Ahhh ”

For a moment, almost everyone's eyes were attracted, and the queen frowned, faintly impatient.

"What the hell is going on?" The prince asked.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince," the little maid quickly knelt on the ground with red eyes and kowtowed to the prince, "Yes, it was Princess Qi who pushed the slave!" ”

Liu Qingyan raised her eyebrows slightly, and her eyes swept towards Nangong Hui beside the prince. Nangong Hui had a smug smile on the corner of her mouth, and the maid beside her also had a smug look.

It seems that they are still fully prepared, even if they push her so unsuccessfully, there will be more detailed arrangements in the future.

The maid beside Nangong Hui is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. At first, maybe it was just to push Liu Qingyan, make her ugly, or even call her a miscarriage, anyway, it was ill-intentioned. And even if Liu Qingyan discovered and resolved such a push, the little girl would continue to point the finger of attention at Liu Qingyan.

The little maid's voice was very loud, and the eyes of everyone present turned to Liu Qingyan.

The crown prince rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Why would the princess push you?" Don't make something out of nothing, you girl! ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is above, even if the slave maid eats the bear's heart and leopard gall, she will never dare to deceive His Highness! It was indeed the princess who pushed the slave maid, probably, probably because the princess was really impatient to see this chanting ceremony. The little maid lowered her head, and her voice became softer and softer.

"Don't talk nonsense, our Princess Qi, where can there be such a person?" It was Nangong Hui who spoke.

Liu Qingyan raised her eyebrows and looked over. Lu Yujian, who was beside her, seemed to be frightened by something, and almost fell to the ground, and Dashuang frowned strangely.

Even the crown prince and queen over there also showed strange eyes.

Wang Zhao lowered his voice and asked Liu Qingyan: "If she does this, isn't it just to make the Queen Mother and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suspicious of her?" Who came up with such a stupid idea? ”

"That's not stupid." Liu Qingyan shook her head very lightly at him and smiled.

How can this be called stupid? The queen and the crown prince knew that Nangong Hui and Liu Qingyan had never been compatible, which was normal. But for other civil and military officials, this is not the case. They didn't know what kind of dispute there was between Nangong Hui and Liu Qingyan, but after seeing such a scene, they temporarily thought that Liu Qingyan had done something inappropriate, and Nangong Hui took the initiative to stand up and speak for Liu Qingyan.

If you are a really powerful person, at this time, you will say something else to incite emotions......

When Liu Qingyan spoke like this, Nangong Hui continued to speak: "Now that the King of Qi is facing the enemy in the frontier, and the Princess of Qi is alone at home, and she is pregnant, such a ceremony is indeed very tiring, and she is not able to stand steadily, or your girl is not serving properly, and it is also appropriate to lose her temper." ”

Liu Qingyan showed a clear look - she knew that Nangong Hui would mention Lu Siguan, the king of Qi.

Now the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have extreme confidence in Lu Siguan, and they also regard him as a god who can save the Great Wei, and now Nangong Hui mentions Lu Siguan, which is also to win over the hearts of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

Sure enough, after Nangong Hui said this, the expressions of the hundred officials gradually eased a little.

"What Miss Nangong said is," the little maid who was kneeling on the ground continued, "After all, it is Princess Qi, it doesn't matter how you beat and scold the slave maid, the slave maid is not a person who matters after all......

"What she said this little girl, it was all about drawing fire to your sister." Lu Yujian frowned and said.

"Yu Jian is right," Wang Zhao sighed, "Princess, don't you think about how to burn this fire back?" If she continues to talk nonsense like this, it will not be good for our Qi Palace. ”

Liu Qingyan shrugged her shoulders and said, "Now that it's their home field, I have to give them time to finish speaking, right?" If it weren't for that, I think their preparation would have been a little too wasteful. ”

"Sister, what are you ......" Lu Yujian looked at her puzzled, unable to think of what she wanted to do.

"Don't worry about the princess." Dashuang calmly opened his mouth.

She looked at Liu Qingyan's back, and her voice was firm: "The princess has always had her own way, she will never lose to anyone, and she will never let the Qi Mansion suffer any criticism and white eyes." ”

Lu Yujian and Wang Zhao looked at her, looked at each other again, and asked themselves, but they were a little ashamed.

The two of them didn't have such confidence in Liu Qingyan, they were too guilty.

"Actually," Liu Qingyan sighed, her eyes wandering back and forth between Nangong Hui and the little maid for a moment, "I don't have much confidence in myself, I said I know what to do, I'm so unhurried, most of the time I'm supporting a row, hahaha." Dashuang, I'm ashamed of you to say that. ”

Dashuang froze in place. Liu Qingyan guessed his expression and couldn't help but smile.

"Alright, since there's nothing more to do, let's move on." The queen rubbed her eyebrows impatiently.

At this juncture, she didn't want anything to happen and mess up the emperor's funeral, which was not a good thing for her and the crown prince.

But it seems that Nangong Hui didn't plan to stop there, but sighed and said, "Queen Mother, but you see, since there is a variable now, and it happened in the chanting ceremony, there must be someone or something to make up for it." ”

Liu Qingyan raised her eyebrows slightly, it turned out that she was waiting for her here.

"What are you going to do to make up for it?" The queen asked patiently.

Nangong Hui saluted the queen, then looked at Liu Qingyan, and said: "It is said that the ceremony is the most important, no one should make noise in the middle, no one should interrupt, if it is interrupted, if someone is noisy, you must see blood, and it must be the purest blood." ”

Liu Qingyan cooperated with her and asked, "I don't know what Miss Nangong said, what is pure blood?" ”

Nangong Hui glanced at her deeply, and her gaze turned to her abdomen: "It stands to reason that the blood of an unborn child is the purest. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Lu Yujian couldn't bear to speak out loud and scolded Nangong Hui.

"Oh, why is Lord Lu so angry?" Nangong Hui deliberately put on a frightened look, took a step back, and looked aggrieved.

Lu Yujian gritted her teeth and said hatefully: "Nangong Hui, don't take advantage of my master's absence to do anything wrong!" If you want to touch my sister or the child in my sister's belly, don't even think about it! ”

Nangong Hui said with an aggrieved face: "Where is my fault? It was your good sister who pushed that girl out just now, and now I'm trying to make up for my mistakes. The emperor has just died, how important is this excessive chanting ceremony, if there is any mistake that affects the future of our Great Wei, it is impossible for everyone to afford it. Lord Lu, what do you think of this? ”

Lu Siguan was about to refute, but Liu Qingyan grabbed his hand and shook his head at him. It means telling him not to be impulsive.

"The princess has a way." Wang Zhao also grabbed Lu Yujian's arm on the side and pulled him back.

Helpless, Lu Yujian could only grit her teeth at Nangong Hui and said, "Count you ruthless!" ”

Nangong Hui looked at Liu Qingyan with a smug expression and said, "Okay, now, I don't know what Princess Qi thinks?" This chanting ceremony has also been destroyed by you, Princess, shouldn't you do something to remedy it? ”

She looked at Liu Qingyan and squinted her eyes, and the disgust and killing intent that couldn't stop rolling in her eyes couldn't be hidden at all: "For example...... Offer the blood of the child in your belly. ”
