Coming out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Jiang Wu was just about to leave, when he saw Yu Ming watering the flowers. Yuming also saw her, and hurriedly put down the water scoop in her hand and walked over.

"Slave and maid see lady."

Jiang Wu looked at Yuming, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"You're doing something in the Heart Cultivation Palace." She whispered.

Yu Ming lowered her head slightly, "Yes, madam, the slave is stupid and stupid, she is not thoughtful, she is benevolent to the emperor, and she has to do things in the Heart Cultivation Palace." ”

Jiang Wu pursed her lips tightly, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

She didn't say anything more, just about to leave. Yu Ming hurriedly spoke, "Madam, the emperor helps the slave maid, and it is because of the face of the lady that it is like this, if it were not for the lady, Yu Ming would not have had the honor to come to the Heart Cultivation Palace to do things." ”

Jiang Wu listened, didn't respond, and left directly.

People are always swayed by emotions.

Jiang Wu too, even though she tried to convince herself in her heart, she ...... This emotion is difficult to ease.

"Madam, the concubine is here." The palace maid walked in and said in a voice.

Jiang Wu came back to his senses and immediately asked Jiang Yuyan to be invited into the hall.

Jiang Yuyan stepped into the hall and saw Jiang Wu's face at a glance.

"Sister Yuyan." She called.

"I happened to pass by the gate of your palace, and I heard the palace people say that you have a bad appetite and can't eat, what's the matter? Is it sick? Jiang Yuyan cared.

Jiang Wu gave Jiang Yuyan a comforting smile, "Sister, Xiao Wu is fine, probably ...... It's getting hotter and a little stuffy, so I can't eat. ”

Jiang Yuyan's eyelashes drooped slightly, and she looked sideways at the outside of the hall, "It's not summer yet, the weather is still cool, why does my sister feel stuffy and can't eat?" ”

"According to my sister, it's not that you can't eat because it's stuffy, but because you're depressed." Jiang Yuyan said in one word.

Jiang Wu twisted his eyebrows and was silent.

"Xiao Wu, what my sister told you that day, have you thought about it? Don't want to give it a try? She asked.

Jiang Wu's eyes trembled slightly, and he shook his head, "Sister, Xiao Wu can't do anything like that." ”

If you do what Sister Yuyan said, even if it is confirmed, it will be a harm to Yun Rongjue.

She couldn't.

Jiang Yuyan persuaded Jiang Wu for a long time, but he couldn't persuade him.

She got up and walked towards the outside of the hall, and when she reached the door, she paused and turned her head to look at the palace people on the side.

……

Yun Rongjue learned that Jiang Wu had a bad appetite and was uncertain about his meal. After he hurriedly finished dealing with the court, he hurried to the Spirit Dance Hall.

"My sister is weak, so you can't come to eat casually, huh? Obedient. ”

As soon as Yun Rongjue came to the Spirit Dance Palace, he summoned the imperial doctor, and after the imperial doctor checked Jiang Wu's pulse, he did not find any symptoms.

He had always been nervous about her, patient, and persuaded to feed her.

Jiang Wu blinked lightly, looking at his expression of concern for her like this, her heart was soft, and she opened her mouth to eat the meal he brought to her lips.

Yun Rongjue smiled with satisfaction.

A small bowl of rice was fed and eaten by Yun Rongjue spoonful after spoonful.

"I'm busy these days, and I don't take care of my sister, it's not good for me." Yun Rongjue said.

Jiang Wu pursed his lips tightly, looked at it, and after a while, he couldn't help it, reached out to wrap his arms around his neck, and hugged him, "Brother Jue." ”

Yun Rongjue was slightly stunned, but soon, he smiled.

There are many rules to abide by in this palace, compared to the cold emperor, every time she calls him like this, it can make his heart soft, and he can't help but want to caress her better.

Outside the hall, night fell, and the surroundings were quiet.

In the Ranling Dance Hall, the sound of fragments is endless.

Jiang Wu leaned on Yun Rongjue's arms, she raised her eyes to look at the handsome face of the man next to her, and couldn't help but raise her little hand to caress his tall nose.

Perhaps, she really shouldn't have thought about it so much.

Jiang Wu sighed lightly, and was just about to let go of his thoughts, suddenly!

The man next to her moved, and she looked nervously.

I saw Yun Rong Jue's flat eyebrows frowning tightly. Jiang Wu looked worriedly, he seemed to have a nightmare.

"Ziyan ......"

"Don't ......"

The man's whispering resounded in the hall one after another.

His emotions were difficult for her to soothe.

He just kept calling the other woman's name.

I don't know how long it took for everything to calm down. Yun Rongjue suddenly opened his eyes, he was already sweating profusely, and his deep eyes were filled with complex panic emotions.

"Brother Jue." Jiang Wu was worried about looking at him.

"Is Brother Jue having a nightmare?" She asked.

Yun Rongjue's deep eyes fixed on one place, and he didn't answer for a long time.

By the light of the candles and the moonlight outside the window, she reached over her little hand and wiped the sweat off his forehead for him.

Yun Rongjue's eyes slowly gathered light, turned his head, looked at the people around him, raised his hand and stroked her little face, "Woke you up." ”

Jiang Wu shook his head lightly, "No, is Brother Jue having a nightmare?" ”

Yun Rongjue reached out and took her into his arms and hugged her tightly. There was no sound for a long time.

For several days, Yun Rongjue repeatedly dreamed about the same, and he slept unsteadily.

"Your Majesty, Lord Xiao, they have already arrived at the Xuanshu Hall and are waiting." Chai Neiguan walked into the Heart Cultivation Hall and said in a solemn voice.

"Got it."

Chai Neiguan raised his head, chuckled and said, "The emperor slept well last night, and his spirit looks much better today." ”

Yun Rongjue, who slept last night, was mentally and emotionally preferred, "It's much better." He replied lightly, and after the internal official had sorted out his clothes, he walked towards the outside of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

As soon as he reached the door, he suddenly stopped.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Chai Neiguan asked.

"I've been sleeping unsteadily these days." He seemed to be talking to Chai, but he seemed to be talking to himself.

Chai Neiguan nodded, "Yes, the emperor has not slept well in the past few days, and it was better yesterday, no, today's spirit and complexion are much better, if Mrs. Jiang knows, she will be much more relieved." ”

A few days ago, Yun Rongjue couldn't sleep steadily, which made people quite worried, especially Jiang Wu, who was even more worried.

Yun Rongjue's eyes slowly sank, and there was a touch of emotion in his eyes.

"Your Majesty," the official called him tentatively, "the hour is not early. ”

Yun Rongjue came back to his senses, put away the emotions in his eyes, and walked out of the main hall.

At about noon, Yun Rongjue left the Xuanshu Hall and went to the Spirit Dance Hall.

As soon as he arrived at the Spirit Dance Hall, he saw the back of Jiang Yuyan, who had just left.

"How often does the concubine come these days?" He asked the palace people on the side.

The palace man bowed his head, "Yes, the concubine often comes." ”

Yun Rongjue's eyes had a slight trace of emotion, he didn't say anything more, and walked into the Spirit Dance Hall.

————

Jiaofang Palace.

Yun Rongjue has been snubbing Jiang Sumo for nearly a month. The girl next to Jiang Sumo was anxious in winter, but Jiang Sumo seemed to be very calm.

"Niangniang, you and the emperor have been cold for a long time, do you want to keep going like this?" Whisk winter worried.

Jiang Sumo lowered his eyes slightly and did not speak.

When the incident failed that day, Yun Rongjue was angry and snubbed her, and even rewarded Jiang Wu and gave him the right to associate the six palaces.

If she is not ashamed, it is false.

However, the more times like this, the more she can't afford to mess with herself.

Although Yun Rongjue treated her coldly, he did not punish her clearly, and he did not even have a grounding. Obviously, he still had some considerations, and he had no intention of making a big deal about it.

In this case, she doesn't need to be overly nervous, no matter how she is, she is still a queen.

"How many days will it be the silkworm ceremony, right?" Jiang Sumo spoke.

Fu Dong muttered, "Yes." ”

"Are all the clothes to be worn for the silkworm ceremony ready?" She asked.

"Rest assured, the slave maid has let them prepare these important things early." Whisk said.

Jiang Sumo had a shallow and gentle smile on his face, "That's good, the silkworm ceremony is an important matter, but there can't be any mistakes, not only us, but even the harem concubines must be cautious, but you can't make any mistakes in this matter, you go down and stare at it." "Three K

Fudong raised his eyes and bowed his head in understanding, "The slave and maid understand, and they must be told to go down to the ladies of the palace." ”

The silkworm ceremony is one of the important festivals of Daliang, which is presided over by the queen, leading the concubines to worship the ancestors of the silkworm god, and picking mulberries and feeding silkworms, so as to encourage the Chinese people to be diligent in the etiquette of weaving.

This year's silkworm ceremony is also the first time that Yun Rongjue has presided over it after he ascended the throne, which is very important.

Jiang Wu knew the importance of the silkworm ceremony, and asked Nanfu to prepare early.

"In two days, it's the silkworm ceremony?" The princess drank the tea that Jiang Wu had just cooked, with a satisfied smile on her face.

This girl has a hand at cooking tea, she thinks she is already very good at cooking, but this girl is even more than her.

Jiang Wu bowed, "Yes." ”

A flash of emotion flashed in the princess's eyes, and she slowly put down the teacup in her hand, "I especially remember that the mourning family also participated in the silkworm ceremony, and at that time, the first emperor was still there." ”

Jiang Wu occasionally came to Huiyuan to accompany the princess, and also noticed that the princess seemed to look down on everything, but she couldn't forget the past, especially the past with the first emperor.

Come to think of it, the two must have been very affectionate at that time.

The princess was talking about the past to herself, and when she turned her head to look at Jiang Wu, she saw her distracted mood.

Although this girl has been here for the past two days, it can be seen that she is very emotional.

"You girl, you're young, but you seem to have a lot on your mind, what's wrong? Quarreled with the emperor? She asked.

Jiang Wu came back to his senses and shook his head, "No. ”

She and Yun Rongjue didn't quarrel, they just ......

The matter of Miss Ziyan and Yuming has been hovering in her mind and heart, and many of the words that Sister Yuyan said to her have also disturbed her heart. It made her heart feel like a thousand knots, and she wanted to untie it, but the more she tangled it, the tighter it became.

The princess snorted coldly, "You still want to hide it from the mourning family?" The mourning family is a person who has come over. ”

"The mourning family tells you, there are some things, you can't take it too seriously, you like the emperor, but the emperor is the emperor after all, is the ninety-five, some things, the more serious you look at, the heavier the oppression on yourself, once the rope is too tight, it will be broken in the end, not to mention, the moment it is broken, you will hurt badly."

Jiang Wu listened to the words of the princess, and her eyebrows wrinkled unconsciously.

The princess shook her head helplessly and waved her hand, "You girl, your mind is not here today, go ahead." ”

The princess watched Jiang Wu leave the Hui Courtyard and sighed lightly, "This girl is somewhat similar to the mourning family when they were young. ”

Three days later, the silkworm ceremony begins.

After bathing, Jiang Wu has to put on a silkworm sacrifice costume.

"Ma'am, it's not good." The palace maid ran in in a panic.

"What do you do in a panic." Nanfu scolded.

The palace maid held the clothes in her hands, her eyes were full of panic and fear, "Niangniang, the sacrificial clothes...... The sacrificial garments are broken. ”

Jiang Wu's eyes stabbed, "Broken? What's going on. She stepped forward and took the clothes from the palace people's hands.

The position on the waist of the sacrificial robe was cracked.

Nanff exclaimed, "This...... How so, how do you take care of the sacrificial garments?! How can such a big opening come now! She reprimanded.

The palace maid knelt on the ground in a panic, her body trembling, "Madame, forgive me, this ...... The slaves and maidservants somehow managed to do this. ”

"You! What a sin you are guilty of such a big mistake in the care of the sacrificial garments! Nanfu was in a hurry.

Jiang Wu looked at the torn sacrificial clothes with deep emotions, and his eyebrows were anxious and anxious.

"Xiao Nan, don't scold them yet, the important thing now is to solve the problem of this clothes."

The silkworm ceremony is just around the corner, and it will start in less than an hour, and the damage to the sacrificial clothes is very serious.

"This, or let's make up for it, and see if it's too late." Nanfu said.

Jiang Wu glanced at the hour and shook his head, "It's too late, even if you quickly patch up this garment, you can see obvious traces, the silkworm ceremony is a very important sacrificial ceremony, if people see that the sacrificial clothes are damaged, they will blame us for being disrespectful to the silkworm god." ”

"That'...... What to do? ”

Jiang Wu thought for a moment and spoke: "Are there other clothes similar to this one in the palace?" ”

"Slave maid, let's go take a look." The palace maid got up and hurriedly walked towards the side hall where the things were placed. Jiang Wu and Nanfu also hurriedly followed.

"Madam, this is quite similar to the color of the sacrificial dress in all aspects, do you think it's okay?"

Jiang Wu took it, and at this time, the internal official hurriedly walked in, "Niangniang, the time has come." ”

Jiang Wuxiu frowned, and she hurriedly glanced at the clothes in her hand.

"That's it."

This garment is similar in color to the sacrificial garment, but there is not much difference.

At the moment, the eyebrows are burning like fire, and I can't take care of much.

After Jiang Wu changed his clothes, he hurried to the silkworm altar.

When she arrived at the silkworm altar, Zhang Ruo and others also came one by one. Everyone waited for the queen in a regular manner.

After a while, the internal officials shouted, and Yun Rongjue and Jiang Sumo came over.

"See the Queen."

Everyone bowed.

The main leader of the silkworm ceremony is the queen. Before bowing, the queen first determined the candidate to pick mulberry from silkworms, renovated the mulberry field, and prepared the hook basket.

Jiang Sumo prepared everything according to the rules.

"Prepare to bow." The internal officer shouted.

Jiang Sumo turned around and stopped the moment his gaze skimmed over Jiang Wu's body.

"Mrs. Jiang."

Everyone's eyes looked at Jiang Wu.

Jiang Sumo frowned, and his face showed worry, "Today is the silkworm ceremony, Mrs. Jiang's clothes are too inappropriate!" ”

Jiang Wu's heart tightened, and he subconsciously lowered his eyes.

"Ah, what is Mrs. Jiang wearing, how can such a dress embroidered with a luxurious pearl be worn to participate in the silkworm ceremony! This is a great disrespect to the silkworm god! Zhang Ruo shouted sharply.

Jiang Wu lowered his head and looked at his clothes, only to notice that there were two pearls inlaid on the side of the face.

I was dressed in a hurry at the time, and I didn't notice it.

"The silkworm ceremony is an important festival, and Mrs. Jiang really shouldn't be so disrespectful." Ran Wenjia spoke.

"Not only that, Queen Mother, look, the hook thread of Mrs. Jiang's clothes is still a gold thread!" Zhang Ruo looked at Jiang Wu. And find out what is wrong.

Jiang Sumo's face sank, "Mrs. Jiang, everyone knows that the importance of the silkworm ceremony, the silkworm ceremony is to prepare for the sacrifice of the silkworm god, and before the silkworm ceremony, you must fast and bathe, of course, the sacrificial clothes, let alone bright colors, outline gold silk, expensive shirts." ”

"That's right, Mrs. Jiang, you've collided with the silkworm god! And before the emperor handed over to you to assist the queen in the six palaces, you ordered the concubines and concubines of each palace to be cautious and save greatly, but now, such an important sacrificial ceremony, you came in gorgeous clothes, to the gods, to the queen is a big disrespect. Zhang Ruo said in a voice.

Jiang Wu pursed her lips, "Queen Mother, the sacrificial dress originally prepared by the concubine is damaged, and this dress was worn in a hurry, not deliberately by the concubine." ”

Jiang Wu snorted coldly, "Mrs. Jiang is really looking for a good reason." ”

"The queen's concubines are not making excuses for themselves." Jiang Wu argued.

"No matter what, in such a festival, Mrs. Jiang, you shouldn't commit such a taboo, the silkworm ceremony is pious, and now it has been damaged by Mrs., according to the rules, Mrs. should be punished with fifty boards."

Everyone looked at each other.

Jiang Wu's breathing was heavy.

"Not only that, but because of a little mistake by Madame, today's silkworm ceremony cannot be carried out, and this mistake is difficult for Madame to make up." Jiang Sumo said.

A few days before the start of the silkworm ceremony, the queen and others were to fast and bathe, but now there is a matter of luxurious clothes and disrespect to the gods, according to the rules, the silkworm ceremony is interrupted and cannot be continued.

Jiang Sumo's words caused everyone to whisper and discuss.

Jiang Wu's little hands were clenched tightly, and it was difficult to retort.

This was not her intention, nor did she think, she was wronged, but ...... It can only be accepted by default.

As Jiang Sumo said, it was her mistake.

"Queen Mother, Mrs. Jiang...... Mrs. Jiang didn't mean it, is there really no other way to make up for it? Sheng Ying timidly spoke.

Jiang Sumo's face was gloomy, "If there is a remedy, this palace doesn't need to be like this." As everyone knows, there is such a problem in the silkworm ceremony, and it must be interrupted, unless there is a more virtuous and respected person in the harem who values the silkworm ceremony. ”

Jiang Sumo's words sound like there are other options, but in fact.

In this harem, the more virtuous and respectable, above the queen, is the queen mother, and then the queen mother.

However, in this palace, Chu Yin, who is located in the Empress Dowager, has been imprisoned in Changle Palace by Yun Rongjue, and it is impossible to preside over the silkworm ceremony.

"Queen Mother, according to the concubines, this time Mrs. Jiang made a great mistake, if there is a queen mother in the palace, or the queen mother presides over it, and still saves the situation, but now, you can only interrupt the silkworm ceremony, which means that the preparations ahead of the queen mother have been done in vain."

"Mrs. Jiang's punishment of fifty boards will be too light." Zhang Ruo said.

Jiang Sumo and Zhang Ruo, what they said sounded like a reason, although the concubines in the harem had their own ideas, but no one dared to intercede with Jiang Wu at this time.

……

Jiang Sumo summoned the internal officials, and he wanted to use a cane on Jiang Wushi. Nanfu knelt on the ground, Sheng Ying wanted to plead several times, but was glared back by Zhang Ruo coldly.

"Hit." Jiang Sumo sighed, and his eyes couldn't help but close.

Jiang Wu closed his eyes tightly, thinking that he was going to bear it, but suddenly! A voice came.

"Wait."
