At noon on this day, the suburbs of Luoyang City have always been low-key Wuwei inside, rarely lively and abnormal, the house and the house are full of lights, the red carpet is spread from the courtyard to the door, the servants and maids are busy everywhere, compared with the atmosphere of the New Year, it is even more than that, and even attracts many village children to gather at the door to laugh and join in the fun. Later, a servant woman came out of the door and carried a basket of candy to distribute to the village children, and they grabbed the candy and laughed and went away.

At this time, the steward Li Junan stood in the square of the front yard and methodically commanded everyone in the house, and the people who asked for instructions and inquiries around him walked around like a marquee.

"The incense table is placed in the center in the direction of the gate, and an incense burner is placed in the center, and the incense burner must be lit with three pillars of high incense, and a pair of red candles on each side. There are also a number of kneeling pads under the case. None of this can be missed. ”

Li Junan said as he spoke, and several servants next to him nodded silently in their hearts, and then took the order and hurriedly went to do so.

"Chinese New Year! Hee-hee! Sixty-seven days after the New Year, the New Year is celebrated again! Hee-hee! Feng'er stood beside Li Jun'an, wearing a new dress embroidered with red embroidery, and the pigtails on his head were also tied with red ropes, sometimes looking up at the red mantle flags around him, and sometimes looking at the servants who came and went, he seemed to feel very funny, and smiled from ear to ear, "Grandpa, Feng'er wants to set off fireworks, set off fireworks!" ”

Li Junan bent down and said softly: "Feng'er, this is not the New Year, it is a happy event for our family." The third young master of our family is going to enter the palace by order. ”

"Entering the palace? …… Entering the palace? Feng'er put the fingers that had just touched the red carpet on the ground into her mouth and sucked it for a while, "Is it possible to play with Sister Bingtang when you enter the palace?" Feng'er is also going to enter the palace, and Feng'er is also going to enter the palace! ”

Li Junan hurriedly covered Feng'er's mouth, "Feng'er, don't be rude, you can't call Sister Bingtang anymore." After a while, Lord Qincha listened to us and accused us of contempt of the Holy One, which is terrible. ”

Feng'er's mouth was flattened, and her little face was red, as if she was about to cry at any time, "But that's Sister Bingtang...... It's Sister Rock Candy......"

Li Junan touched Feng'er's head and said, "Feng'er, that can only be called in my heart, you know?" As long as Feng'er is obedient, grandpa will also bring Feng'er into the palace in a few days. The wind is about to play in the back garden. ”

Feng'er heard that as long as she was obedient, she could enter the palace, so she didn't stop crying, and after messing around for a while, she jumped up and went to the backyard by herself.

Not long after the servants finished their work, a messenger came from outside the gate to spread the word that the chase-sama's car was less than half a mile away. Li Junan then ordered all the servants to stand in the back row and wait for the order, and then ordered someone to go to the back hall to inform.

Sure enough, within a moment, there was a noise of horses outside the wide open door of the mansion, and an attendant shouted: "The holy decree has arrived-"

Hearing this shout, a group of servants who had already lined up hurriedly knelt down and bowed.

The group walked from the back hall to the back of the incense case. The young man led by him was gorgeously dressed, his face was handsome, his expression was radiant, and his two thin lips and a smile were already warmer than the sun, and that person was Li Yunshen. Accompanied by Li Junan and two escorts.

Qin Cha took the entourage with the holy decree in his hand, walked in front of everyone, and said loudly: "Li Yunshen takes the decree!" ”

"The grass people are here." Li Yunshen responded.

Qin Cha opened the holy decree and read it Yangyang: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Li Yun, the youngest son of Li Kaizong, who returned to the hidden hero, is warm and respectful, and has a long history of Chenghua Valve, Yu Mao Lingyi, Heng Huang has rules, etiquette and teaching, modest and submissive, and has won my heart, and is enshrined as the concubine of Yun in the holy oracle, and lives in Qingquan Palace as the main position. Chin this. ”

"Thank you, Lord Longne!" Li Yunshen received the order with both hands, so that Li Junan was enshrined on the incense case.

"Your Royal Highness Concubine Yun, congratulations!" After the holy decree was delivered, the messenger walked over with a smile on his face and congratulated him.

Li Yunshen smiled and said, "My lord is hard! In the future, I will have to take care of more adults in the palace. ”

"How dare you! How dare you! Qin Cha hurriedly bowed his waist and said: "Her Royal Highness Concubine Yun is noble, and she is deeply loved by His Majesty. ”

Li Junan also stepped forward and said politely: "My lord is tired of passing on the decree, my young master really can't help it, and he has already ordered to prepare a thin banquet to catch the wind for the adult, please appreciate your face!" ”

"You're welcome, you're welcome!" Qin Cha hurriedly excused himself and said, "Her Royal Highness Concubine Mengyun is really flattered and grateful. However, the lower officials had to rush back to the palace immediately to resume their lives, and they did not dare to stay for a long time. Please Your Royal Highness Concubine Yun and Steward Li are not strange, not strange! ”

Li Junan then sent the messenger out of the gate. The servants also scattered and packed up.

Of course, Li Yunshen knew that the reinstatement of the decree was not an imminent matter at all, and it was not that this Qincha did not want to cling to their Li family, but he was also afraid that once he stayed to drink and feast, he would be considered by the outside world that he was on the side of the Li group, and from then on he would be the enemy of the Helan Chu group.

After a while, Li Junan sent Qin Cha back and accompanied Li Yunshen to the inner hall.

"How is it going to contact everyone this time?" Li Yunshen lowered his voice, and his face still looked like a spring breeze.

Li Junan stepped forward and replied, "This walk is quite rewarding. The adults everywhere still have a deep feeling for the master, and instead of giving away the financial gifts purchased by the old servant, they also received some gifts from the adults everywhere to honor the master. Many adults also think that our Li family has endured for too long, and this time to escort the new emperor to the throne and compete with the Taishi with a clear banner is a move to occupy the time and people's hearts, and it also shows that my Li family's position and the third young master's wisdom and courage are all said that after the third young master enters the palace, they will be able to only look forward to the third young master's horse, and take the righteous style of the court. ”

Li Yunshen's smile became more obvious, but he didn't see any joy or relief, "Don't forget, there are many people who may just think they are fighting for the orthodoxy of the Great Zhou. ”

The ceremony of worshipping the heavens in the mound is carried out for a total of five days, welcoming the emperor god, laying the jade silk, entering the ceremony, offering the first gift, making the second gift, and offering the end of the ceremony...... After waiting for nine procedures, various sacrificial songs and dances were presented to the gods, and the mounds were bustling with activity inside and outside the mound for several days, and finally it was the last day.

In the past few days, Zuo Ying has lived in a large tent set up in advance, burning incense and fasting. During the day, before dawn, they get up to bathe and change their clothes, and go to the altar to preside over the sacrifice; At night, when it was dark, I could go back to the tent and take a nap. Although the ceremonial officials and chamberlains hugged each other and took care of them, this kind of boring and worthless activity for Zuo Ying challenged the limit of her patience every moment.

The moon sets and the stars sink, and the hustle and bustle outside the tent finally comes to an end, and the ever-bright lights will cast the shadows of the patrol guards on the curtain from time to time.

Zuo Ying lay on the bamboo bed, recalling that in the past, his subordinates had to burn incense and kneel in front of the statue of Guan Gong enshrined in the headquarters every time they went out, and no matter how persuaded by their predecessors, they only used their hands to the side and did not say anything to show respect for their "faith". Now not only do you have to kneel and worship, but you also have to worship the gods and Buddhas all over the world, and worship on behalf of the people of the whole country, which can be regarded as paying off the benefits of eight lifetimes, which is really ironic.

But Zuo Ying is really tired, now this small body is not as good as before, a few days of tossing has made her seriously sub-healthy, on the verge of falling ill, aimlessly recalling those past events, she didn't even have the strength to hook the corners of her lips, and soon fell asleep - until a commotion woke her up from her dream.
