Chapter 21: Taimiao (1)
The imperial physician quickly arrived and prescribed a pair of medicines for Murong Cheng'an, which could promote wound healing. Fortunately, it is only a skin trauma, and with medication and cultivation, it can be healed in a few days.
But Murong Cheng'an was bitten by Ye Lingxi's tongue, so he could only eat porridge for the past few days.
Ye Lingxi felt guilty, and also accompanied Murong Cheng'an, not eating meat, only porridge. But Murong Cheng'an was still very depressed, and every time he had a meal, he stared at a pair of aggrieved big eyes, which made Ye Lingxi even more ashamed.
"Lady...... It hurts...... People want to eat meat......"
"Little An'an...... Bear with it for a few days, and when your tongue is healed, you can eat meat! ”
Murong Cheng'an sniffed, nodded again, and continued to lower his head to eat his porridge. In fact, Murong Chengan was not as sad as he showed at all, he took advantage of Ye Lingxi so much, and he didn't know how beautiful it was in his heart! It's just that he had to win Ye Lingxi's sympathy by pretending to be pitiful, so that Ye Lingxi didn't have the heart to pursue his forcible kiss.
After Xiaolian learned about the whole thing, she felt even more guilty about Ye Lingxi. The prince deceived the princess like this, if the princess knew the truth one day...... Xiaolian didn't dare to think about it anymore. In fact, although the princess is very gentle to her subordinates, once she is angry, it will also be a storm!
Xiaolian deeply felt that it was necessary for her to pave a way out for herself in the princess. But Xiaolian didn't dare to ask Ye Lingxi directly, what would happen if she found out that she had been deceived. With Ye Lingxi's intelligence, as long as Xiaolian asked, she would immediately notice that something was wrong. The distressed Xiaolian has been worried in her heart.
On this day, Ye Lingxi was bored in the palace. Since the last time he made a colorful fake bouquet for Murong Chengan, Murong Chengan has been pestering Ye Lingxi all day long, and he also wants to learn to make fake bouquets. Ye Lingxi couldn't resist him, so he taught Murong Cheng'an by hand. After learning it, Murong Chengan hid in the study to make fake bouquets whenever he was free, and he didn't let Ye Lingxi follow along, but it made Ye Lingxi bored. The master is not in Tianhe Kingdom, Ye Lingxi is idle and moldy, and he is thinking about studying something interesting, the eunuch in the palace, Xiao Luozi, is here again!
Ye Lingxi saw Xiao Luozi walking towards her from a distance, pinching her orchid fingers and twisting the waist of the water snake, she was so frightened that she turned around and ran! Last time, it was this little Luo Zi who came to inform the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and then she was framed and put in prison at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. Ye Lingxi didn't want to see this eunuch again!
"Yo~ Princess An, what's wrong? When you see our family, why did you run away? ”
Ye Lingxi didn't care what Xiao Luozi said behind her, she just ran to the room and closed the door deadly.
But things won't disappear because Ye Lingxi doesn't meet Xiao Luozi. Xiao Luozi saw that Ye Lingxi ignored him, so he told Xiaolian what he needed to convey, and then continued to pinch the orchid finger and went back to the palace.
"Princess, don't lock yourself in your room. It's not a big deal this time, there's nothing to be afraid of. At least, we don't need to enter the palace this time! ”
"Who said I was scared?!"
As soon as Ye Lingxi heard that she didn't need to enter the palace, she immediately opened the door, and coldly refuted Xiaolian's evaluation of her with a horizontal eyebrow.
Xiaolian knew what virtue her princess was, so she didn't demolish her.
"Princess, this time Xiao Luozi came to inform him to go to the Taimiao Temple next month to pray for blessings. This year is the first time that the princess went to the temple to pray for blessings, and the queen sent Xiao Luozi to remind you to prepare in advance. ”
"Taimiao Prayer ...... What kind of show is it? ”
The corners of Ye Lingxi's mouth twitched, she found that the court in this place didn't do a few serious things, and she was really speechless when she was engaged in these virtual things.
"Princess, every year on the ninth day of September is the national day of Tianhe Kingdom, every five years, the royal family has to go to the Taimiao Temple to pray for the blessing of Tianhe Country, bless Tianhe Country with smooth wind and rain, and peace and security of the country and the people. This has been the rule of Tianhe for so many years, and if you marry the royal family, you will naturally participate in praying for blessings. ”
Ye Lingxiguang listened to Xiaolian's words, and he could imagine how troublesome the matter of praying for blessings would be, and how many strange processes there would be.
"Do I need anything to prepare?"
Xiaolian frowned: "Xiaolian didn't know that the queen mother specially sent Xiao Luozi to remind you what to prepare." Because, logically speaking, you don't need to prepare anything, you can just take the prince with you when the time comes. ”
"Who knows what Queen Ann is thinking!"
Ye Lingxi rolled her eyes, as long as she remembered that the queen punished herself and sentenced herself to prison, but she inexplicably released herself, she felt that this queen was very bad, and she didn't bother to guess what she was thinking!
In fact, the queen is really thinking about Ye Lingxi now, after all, if Ye Lingxi has any mistakes, the queen's secret will be easily lost. Ye Lingxi is just a fool's princess, making her proud, and she can't do anything to the queen. Therefore, the queen would rather hold Ye Lingxi and ensure that her secret is not made public.
Although Murong Chengan hid alone in the study to make fake bouquets, the things outside couldn't escape his ears at all. He was also very puzzled, since Ye Lingxi was inexplicably released from prison last time, the queen's attitude towards Ye Lingxi was like a different person. What's hidden in this?
In the blink of an eye, it is the ninth day of September. On this day, all the royal members gathered at the gate of the palace early, and when it was auspicious, they went to the temple together. The Taimiao is in an open space outside the palace two miles, and the ranking of the emperors of the Tianhe Kingdom is placed in the center of the lobby of the Taimiao, for the future generations of the emperors and grandchildren to pay tribute and worship.
Ye Lingxi and Murong Chengan were in a carriage, and Xiaolian also rode together. After getting along with each other for a few days, Murong Chengan is becoming more and more inseparable from Ye Lingxi, and Ye Lingxi is becoming more and more inseparable from Xiaolian. Xiaolian is like Ye Lingxi's Baidu in Tianheguo, you can find Xiaolian to find answers if you don't understand anything, and she is also a part-time clothing and makeup designer for Ye Lingxi.
In the carriage, Ye Lingxi obviously felt that Murong Cheng'an's mood was very low, and he was not at all the heartless and crazy running and playing around on weekdays. Xiaolian also looked sullen, and Ye Lingxi was also depressed by the low pressure in the carriage.
"Lady, what's wrong with you? Don't you seem to be happy? ”
"Huh? I don't know, I don't think you're both happy, and I'm not happy either. ”
Murong Cheng'an's heart trembled. Will Ye Lingxi be unhappy because he is unhappy? Will she understand herself? If she knew that the mother concubine was framed by the queen and was kicked out of the royal jade plate after her death, and the ranking could not be placed in the temple, would she be able to empathize? The fate of the mother concubine was not controlled by herself in her life, she went to a foreign country and relatives, gave birth to two princes for her father, and finally ended up with a fate that he even had to hide in private, which is really sad! And the culprit of all this is the queen! Thinking of this, Murong Chengan couldn't help but clench his fists, and there was a chill on his body.
Ye Lingxi felt the cold feeling he felt in the palace last time, and couldn't help but let out a huge sneeze.
Murong Chengan was pulled back to reality by Ye Lingxi's sneezing, and hurriedly retracted his emotions to prevent Ye Lingxi from discovering any clues.
"Why is it so cold all of a sudden?"
"Lady, are you cold? Did you kick the quilt at night and get infected with the wind chill? Hug the lady, the lady will not be cold! ”
Murong Chengan said as he approached Ye Lingxi's side and took Ye Lingxi into his arms. Murong Cheng'an's embrace was very warm, and Ye Lingxi felt the warm breath, and suddenly felt much more comfortable.
After arriving at the Taimiao, everyone got off the carriage one after another, and walked into the Taimiao hall one by one according to the order of the carriages.
Ye Lingxi was afraid that Murong Cheng'an would run away, so he kept pulling him tightly. Fortunately, this time Murong Chengan was quite honest, and he had been letting Ye Lingxi pull him, keeping his head down and walking obediently, without looking around.
Just as everyone was worshipping one by one, the sky suddenly changed. It was a sunny day, but it gradually became cloudy, and soon it began to rain heavily, accompanied by a strong wind and thunder. Everyone's faces changed.
Ye Lingxi was secretly worried in his heart, this prayer for blessing and praying for a blessing actually changed the sky, and it was accompanied by such a terrifying thunder. I don't know if this phenomenon is a good omen or a bad omen in this day and country. But no matter what the signs, as long as you don't get involved with her for some reason!
The emperor listened to the rain and thunder outside, and the despair on his face became heavier and heavier. Ye Lingxi secretly observed, oh no, it was really a bad omen. People here are so superstitious that they don't know what's going to happen next.
"Your Majesty, this rain ......"
The queen tried to say something, but the emperor waved his hand and forcibly held back the words.
"I know."
Ye Lingxi looked at the dumb riddle between the emperor and the queen, and he didn't understand it anymore. What does this mean?
Then the plot is even more magical, I saw that the emperor called his accompanying eunuch Xiao Duozi and signaled Xiao Duozi to announce the decree.
The content of this holy decree made Ye Lingxi even more messy.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said. The second prince, Murong Lang, is the queen's concubine, with extraordinary talents, good conduct, and extensive knowledge, and can take on great responsibilities. Specially canonized as the crown prince, staying in the East Palace, admiring this! ”
It turned out to be the holy decree of the second prince Murong Lang as the crown prince!
What is the relationship between the rain and the canonization of the crown prince?! What kind of logic is this? Ye Lingxi secretly complained in his heart, handing over Tianheguo to that thief-eyed pervert, this Tianheguo is really not far from the real occurrence of the evil omen!
The expressions of everyone present were different. The emperor was helpless, the queen was relieved, Murong Lang was proud, and Ye Yuzhen was completely stunned, and she deliberately glared at Ye Lingxi defiantly. Ye Lingxi looked away helplessly, not understanding why this Ye Yuzhen was so keen to get caught in front of her.
Murong Cheng'an was still indifferent to the people and things here that had nothing to do with him, staring at Ye Lingxi all the time, his eyes were almost glued to Ye Lingxi's body, as if there were so many people in this temple, and only Ye Lingxi was in his eyes.
Because the rain was too heavy, everyone could not travel by carriage, so they had to stay in Taimiao for one night. This temple is as if it knew that everyone would stay here for the night, and it has prepared all kinds of bedding and other supplies. Ye Lingxi is getting more and more incomprehensible, how can this temple prayer be strange everywhere?!
