"Canghai, the good-looking in your palace is extravagant and extravagant, and the good-looking I see is the quiet joy of the small door and small households," the young man in the light blue brocade robe who shrunk his head back into the carriage sat back in the carriage, shaking his head and shaking his head, "This joy is not the joy of the other, it is different!"

"Heh~" The soft and moving voice smiled shallowly, "Huan'er is reasonable." Different landscapes have different landscapes. ”

"Canghai, then again, I'm not a prince, I don't need to fast for three days, right? I haven't eaten meat for three days, even if I don't starve to death, I'll die of hunger!?" The young man in the light blue brocade robe leaned over the back of the chair, and shook his veil boringly as the carriage moved, "Otherwise, I won't go into the palace with you, and wait for you to come back at home, okay?"

"Not good. The luxurious young man in the moon-white robe embroidered with dark patterns and auspicious clouds sat upright, and his veil did not move, "You are alone, I don't worry." ”

"Cut! I'm not a child!" the young man in the light blue brocade robe snorted lazily, "However, after directing this big play, I should also come to the scene to observe it in person, otherwise, how can it be so easy for you to let me get into this carriage!"

"I deliberately and secretly set out from the gate, and led those tiger-eyed Xiao Xiao out of the imperial capital. Then disguise yourself as a woman, and mix into the pile of maids you bought for you, and the god who comes back is unaware, amazing?" The young man in the light blue brocade robe cocked Erlang's legs, leaned the back of his head against the back of the chair and hummed leisurely: "If I don't want to come back, I can slip away, where will I let you bring it to the carriage?"

"Yes, yes, yes, Huan'er is amazing. The luxurious young man in the moon-white brocade robe smiled lightly, and his gentle voice was like the sound of a long piano, coaxing the child's spoiling, "At the sacrificial ceremony, you can see the noble concubine and Xu Shufei eating dog." ”

"That's right. The young man in the light blue brocade robe turned over, leaned his chin on the back of the chair, closed his eyes and muttered, "The actors are in place, and the heavy makeup appears, this scene is wonderful, it's a pity not to watch it!"

The carriage staggered straight into the brightly lit imperial city. In the brilliant lights, the carriages of various princes entered the palace in an endless stream.

Tonight, the princes were ordered to come and begin their fast for the sacrificial ceremony three days later, as well as the daily pine bath.

In the glittering Zekun Palace, the corridor of the Zhulan jade pillar twists and turns, and the two sides are planted with the best poinsettias, and the slender leaf veins crowded next to each other are as green as jade, and the bright red petals are as red as blood. The colder the weather, the more blooming it becomes, like the emerald branches with agate red flowers, and the lively and noisy vitality overwhelms the cool and cold after the snow in the courtyard.

The corridor is carved with a cloud pattern of birds, and there are bird cages and parrot frames made of twisted strands of gold wire. The morning sun shines brightly on the birdcage, and the birds with bright coats are colorful.

The birds flutter their wings, move and jump lively, and the crisp and melodious chirping opens the curtain of a new day.

After breakfast, the noble concubine walked leisurely in the corridor, the flat white marble floor tiles were polished to the surface, and the noble concubine was dressed in a lilac brocade robe, embroidered with snow-white petals, bright yellow stamens, and daffodils.

The tall and plump figure, the action is soft and bewitching, and the noble concubine who looks forward to the brilliance is holding the melon seed kernel, and teasing the colorful macaw in the corner of the corridor with great interest, and from time to time is laughed at by the parrot's learning tongue.

The noble concubine who sits firmly in the first beauty of the imperial capital, no matter whether she looks at it from a distance or up close, her national color and natural fragrance always make people fall in love with it at the first glance.

There was a sound of broken footsteps, and Linglong, who was following behind the noble concubine, turned around and looked at the nurse Rong Mama approaching with a calm face.

"Mama's morning!" she bowed delicately and moved out of the way.

"Miss," Mama Rong stood decently and spoke softly, "The old slave has already found out that Concubine Xu Shu of the Changui Palace has taken care of all the expenses of tomorrow's sacrificial ceremony and is ready to go." ”

"Okay!" the noble concubine raised her eyebrows, and the golden bead tassel hanging from the corner of the white jade bell bell lightly touched Sasha softly, "The time is finally ripe!

The sky was still cloudy, and the emperor's honor guard had already lined up outside the palace gate.

Today's winter solstice is a day to worship the heavens and ancestors. The emperor was going to the suburbs to hold a ceremony to worship the heavens.

After three days of fasting, the emperor who came to the main sacrifice in person bathed and changed his clothes this morning, full of sincere awe, and led the people of the royal family to set off in a majestic manner.

Because the queen is crazy, she can only let the high-ranking concubines sacrifice on her behalf. The position of the noble concubine is the highest, and her second prince is the longest, and she needs to take the lead when she goes to the sacrifice, and lead the prince's team to worship the big ceremony.

And the emperor promised the third princess who had just recovered from a serious illness, brought her to worship her ancestors, and brought her with her biological mother Xu Shufei, who took care of the third princess. When she arrived at the sacrificial venue, in order to pay tribute to her ancestors, Concubine Xu Shu also followed behind the third princess to pay respects.

So, for the first time in history, there were two hostesses who performed the prayer at the worship ceremony. The civil and military officials secretly thought in their hearts, and in judging the situation, none of them dared to stand up immediately and tell the emperor that it was not in line with the courtesy.

In the middle of hesitation, the bell rang, the sacrificial ceremony had begun, and the civil and military officials and royal relatives knelt on the ground together. At this moment, I mustered up the courage to tell the emperor that there was no chance, and the sacrificial ceremony could not be interrupted at the beginning, otherwise it would be a great sin of disrespect.

Fireworks rose in the burnt wood purple gold furnace to welcome the gods, and pure white smoke rose up, spreading the meaning of piety and awe in the world to the heavens.

The emperor walked to the throne, greeted the gods, and bowed to the gods three times and nine times. Qin casually held high the jade silk over the top, knelt down and walked in front of the emperor, and the emperor took it and offered beautiful jade and silk silk to the gods and ancestors. Then the emperor personally put the sacrifice into the ceremony, and finally the emperor made the first offering, the noble concubine and Xu Shufei and the princes performed the second ceremony, the royal family relatives made the final offering, and the sacrifice ceremony was completed.

After the ceremony, the hundred officials rested, returned home, and began the winter solstice festival of settling down.

The procession back to the palace was mighty, and the emperor sat in the Ming Huangluan car and squinted his eyes to make up for sleep. On the side of the sedan chair where the noble concubine was sitting, the four big maids who were walking at the four corners of the sedan chair looked indignant, and from time to time they rolled their white eyes and glared at the sedan chair behind them, sitting in the sedan chair of Concubine Xu Shu.

Even the maid can understand that the appearance of Concubine Xu Shu at the ceremony has greatly devalued the status of the noble concubine, not to mention the officials and ministers whose heads are as slippery as oil.

The ministers who followed the royal family were all unfazed by the faces of the royal family, and the dark tide in their hearts was turbulent, and only they could understand it.
