Chapter 245: Festival Turmoil

The celebration has arrived, and according to the rules, all the courtiers, royal children, and envoys of various countries must go to the place of sacrifice to participate in the sacrifice ceremony first, and then go to the palace banquet.

Yun Qingyan was born as the eldest princess, and she was naturally much more dignified than usual in terms of clothing. Early in the morning, Qiu'er pulled Yun Qingyan up from the quilt, and a few palace maids to make up, and finally changed into palace clothes that matched the identity of the eldest princess.

Yun Qingyan looked at himself in the mirror, but he was a little more dignified and generous than usual.

"Princess, you are so good-looking, especially after changing into this palace dress."

Qiu'er looked at Yun Qingyan, her eyes were slightly straight, on weekdays, princesses don't like to dress up, whether it is clothes or buns, they are the simplest, but today, when she is dressed like this, the whole person seems to have come out of the painting.

This look, if Mrs. Feng sees it, she will definitely like it more and more.

Yun Qingyan looked at himself in the mirror and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Okay, don't be a sycophant here, let's go quickly, it's not good if you delay the hour."

Leaving Yunwu Palace, Yun Qingyan was accompanied by Qiu'er and walked towards the place of the sacrifice ceremony.

As soon as he was halfway there, he met the oncoming concubine.

"The eldest princess is really shining today, which is eye-catching!" Concubine Shu looked at Yun Qingyan and said with a smile.

Today, Concubine Shu is clearly dressed up, but because Concubine Shu has always had exquisite makeup on weekdays, she didn't show much difference.

"The lady lady praised it falsely."

Concubine Shu retracted her gaze, "The eldest princess should also be going to the sacrificial ceremony now, it just so happens that we are on the same road, why don't we go over together?" ”

"In that case, Concubine Niangniang, please."

Since the last incident, Concubine Shu seems to be a different person, and she has become more and more generous and gentle in this harem. I heard that I often go to the imperial study to send some pastries to Emperor Yun, and I have recently won the favor of Emperor Yun.

"A few days ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was unwell, and the palace originally planned to visit, but I was afraid that there would be more people going, and it would disturb His Royal Highness the Prince's rest, so I didn't go, I don't know how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now."

Concubine Shu asked as she walked unhurriedly, her tone full of concern.

"With Concubine Lao Shu's concern, the prince's health is much better now."

"That's good, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince helps the emperor deal with the government and shares the emperor's worries, although it is excellent, but you still have to be careful of your body, and you must not overwork."

Yun Qingyan nodded, "Concubine Shu, I will definitely tell the prince today." ”

Concubine Shu smiled again, didn't speak again, walked through a palace road, and Concubine Shu suddenly stopped again.

"The palace suddenly remembered that something fell in the palace, why don't the eldest princess go over first, and the palace will let people go back to get it."

"The ceremony is about to start, Concubine Niangniang might as well go with this princess, as for the things that fall, send someone to pick them up and send them to the sacrificial ceremony."

"The eldest princess doesn't know that there are occasional palpitations in the palace on weekdays, so she will wear sachets made of medicinal herbs. As a result, I forgot today, and now that I have walked these roads, I suddenly have some heart palpitations, and then I remembered, this palace is still waiting here, let people hurry up to get it, and it should not be delayed. ”

"I see, Concubine Niangniang is fine, right?"

"Eldest princess, don't worry."

"Then the princess will go first." Yun Qingyan nodded.

"Okay." Concubine Shu smiled in response.

After Yun Qingyan left, the smile on Concubine Shu's face completely faded.

"Niangniang, didn't you take off this sachet because you didn't think it matched your clothes?" Peach took out the sachet from her sleeve, and she didn't understand why Concubine Shu suddenly said this just now.

Concubine Shu took the sachet from Peach's hand and slowly hung it on her waist.

"The palace just suddenly doesn't want to arrive at the festival at the same time as Yun Qingyan."

RosΓ© shook her head, "The slave doesn't understand. ”

Concubine Shu glanced at Taohong, "This palace just suddenly thought that although this palace has shown generosity and is quite close to the queen during this time, after all, sometimes you have to keep some distance." Otherwise, if anyone wants to deal with them, don't implicate this palace at that time. ”

After speaking, Concubine Shu glanced at the corner of the dress that appeared on the palace road behind her, hooked her lips and smiled, and continued to walk slowly in the direction of the festival.

Behind the palace wall, Yun Xiyue walked out, looking at the back of the concubine in front of her, her whole face was dark and uncertain.

"Princess, what Concubine Shu said just now, could it be that she said it to you, the princess?" Shui Qin whispered to Yun Xiyue.

Yun Xiyue snorted coldly, "Whether she said it to Princess Ben or not, but it is certain that this lady concubine is not an easy master to deal with, how intimate she is on the surface, but in fact, she is afraid that she is full of jealousy towards Yun Qingyan and Queen Chu in her heart." ”

"Princess, if that's the case, it's a good thing for us. I only hope that this lady can deal with Queen Chu and the eldest princess well, so that you will reap the benefits of the fisherman, princess. ”

"Deal with?" Yun Xiyue shook her head, "She just noticed it just now, Princess Ben saw her and Yun Qingyan walking together behind her, so she was so cautious." If you want her to make a move, I'm afraid it's not so easy. ”

After speaking, Yun Xiyue took another deep breath and carefully checked the dress on her body.

"Let's go, the sacrificial ceremony is about to begin, and if nothing happens today, there should be a good show to be staged!"

Nangong Sheng is also the prince of Dongyang, and she asked to marry for the second time, but she wanted to see if Yun Qingyan could directly break the other party's face!

Compared with Dongyang Kingdom, Chu Yunguo has always respected ghosts and gods more, and at the same time, he also paid more attention to sacrifices.

Emperor Yun and Empress Chu stood in front of everyone and personally burned incense to worship the sky, and this celebration could be regarded as the beginning.

Next, the officials of the Ministry of Rites will recite the sacrificial words, and then the prince will lead the hundred officials to worship and burn incense for the ceremony.

Yun Yao, as the crown prince, stood at the front of the princes, and Feng Yihan, as the crown prince, made an exception and stood at the head of the hundred officials with the prime minister.

And Nangong Sheng led the Dongyang envoys and stood on the sidelines to watch the ceremony.

The Ministry of Rites began to recite the sacrificial words, and Yun Qingyan stood beside Yun Yao, clearly feeling the gaze cast by Nangong Sheng on the other side.

Frowning slightly, Yun Qingyan quickly regained his expression.

And Yun Xiyue's eyes couldn't stop looking at Nangong Sheng, as if to remind the other party that when the festival is over and the banquet begins, he must ask for marriage in public.

Although it is spring now, the wind is still a little cold, the position of the altar is higher than the ordinary palace, standing on it, after a long time, it is really a little cold, Yun Qingyan can't help but quietly clench his sleeve robe, saving the wind from pouring in.

Finally, the Ministry of Rites finished reciting the prayer.

"The prince burns incense, and everyone kneels down!"

Yun Yao's expression was serious, and he stepped forward unhurriedly, took incense, and lit incense, but just as he inserted the incense in his hand into the incense burner and turned to look at everyone.

Suddenly, his brows furrowed, and the next moment, a mouthful of blood spurted out.
