When I heard this, I thought to myself, didn't I come to sacrifice? Why are you still eating?

She tilted her head slightly and asked Xiaolian on the side in a low voice: "Didn't the emperor come to worship the ancestors?" ”

Xiaolian also leaned close to her ear and whispered: "The midyear festival in the northern border country will not be carried out until the night." ”

Listening to Xiaolian's natural response, her face was like a thunderbolt from the sky.

Yesterday, he was temporarily arranged by Concubine Wen to the emperor's side.

The emperor didn't smile along the way, and the two were not able to say a few words.

And he was in a hurry to leave the palace temporarily, and he didn't have time to understand the rules of the royal sacrifice.

This is the first time she has participated in the royal family's mid-year festival, and now that she heard that the sacrifice is at night, she wants to say that it is too late to regret it now?

The result, of course, is come, no, and!

At this moment, Qian Yan couldn't help but roar in the bottom of his heart!

She only knew that the day of Zhongyuan was the day when the underworld was opened, and all ghosts would wander in the world.

In the 28th century, it was said that "don't go out in the middle of July."

Because this day is the most cloudy day of the year, it is easy to see those things that are not clean.

It is also easy to be disturbed by external objects, especially at night.

How did you get to this northern neighboring country, but it is so unique.

I have to take advantage of the ghosts to roam the world at night.

But after thinking about it, she came out to serve the emperor, so she shouldn't need to follow the emperor to sacrifice at night, right?

Just when he was thinking nonsense, Ying Zhan raised his feet and entered the main hall and found a Taishi chair to sit down.

After following Yan into the main hall, he found that there was nothing but the eerie atmosphere around it.

The rest, really not much different from the palace.

The biggest difference is that although they are all inhabited by royal people.

But one dwelleth the living, and the other dwelleth the dead.

Of course, except for the guards, palace maids, and eunuchs who guard the imperial tomb.

Not long after Qian Yan and the emperor sat down, the servants in the imperial tomb were eating on the white marble table in the hall.

Because of the need for sacrifices at night, it is necessary to fast on this day.

So the meals on this table are all vegetarian.

But Tanyan is a meat lover, and he has no appetite for the table full of fasting at the moment.

Ying Zhan took the rice bowl handed over by the servant, and glanced at her face casually.

Li Zhong followed the emperor's line of sight, and said to Qian Yan: "Eat more concubines, you have to sacrifice until the middle of the night." ”

As soon as these words came out, this made the face of the fluke who was still holding a fluke feel like being struck by thunder.

What the? Don't!

Even if you sacrifice at night, you still have to sacrifice until the middle of the night?

Don't you know that the middle of the night is the heaviest time of the day, so it should be the best time to sleep?

Well, on the most cloudy day of the year, when the yin qi is the heaviest in the day, you have to bury the emperors and concubines of the previous dynasties, and the imperial tombs with the heaviest yin qi have to be sacrificed.

As a result, Tanyan lost his appetite even more.

She took a mouthful of her food and put down the dishes and chopsticks.

Tanyan held his forehead with a headache on his face, and propped his elbows on the table.

"Your Majesty...... The concubine suddenly felt unwell, thinking that it was the reason for the tiring travel and the lack of adaptation to the water and soil, which could not eat, and her head was dizzy, so I could rest in the room at night and not go to the sacrifice? ”

Although she is not usually superstitious, she feels that it is still necessary to pay attention to such days as Halloween.

If you can't go out at night, try not to go out.

So she wanted to pretend to be sick, apply to the emperor, and not go out to hit ghosts at night.

Of course, if you have to go, you can't help it.

Ying Zhan glanced at the woman lightly and did not answer her words.

He just tilted his head slightly and said to Li Zhong, "Li Zhong, this time out of the palace, did you bring an accompanying imperial doctor?" ”

"If you go back to the emperor, we will bring an imperial doctor and an imperial doctor." Li Zhong lowered his eyes and replied.

Ying Zhan: "Then they will enter the hall to check the pulse of the concubine and see what the concubine is uncomfortable with, otherwise she will be dizzy and don't know the taste." ”

When she spoke, Yingzhan's eyes stared directly at the woman, not leaving for a moment, as if she did not let go of any of her subtle expressions.

Dumping Yan was pretending to be sick, but now when he heard that he wanted to call the imperial doctor to see a doctor, he politely refused, "A little illness will not bother the imperial doctor, and besides, I will be a doctor myself." ”

"Well, that's good." Ying Zhan nodded approvingly, "Since Concubine Ai knows how to heal, it is the best, and Concubine Ai also said that it is just a little illness, so it will not affect the sacrifice at night." ”

Yan Yan: "But, the emperor ......"

Ying Zhan: "Li Zhong, if you want to come to the concubine and lose her memory, she still doesn't know much about the rules of sacrifice, so you can talk to her about it." ”

After saying that, the man bowed his head and ate.

Li Zhong raised his head and said to Qian Yan with a smile, "Concubine, you were originally the wife of the emperor who was assigned to the emperor, and now there is no queen in the middle palace, logically speaking, you are still the daughter-in-law of the first emperor." Since they have come, they should sacrifice to the emperor together with the emperor. ”

"In addition, the concubine is on the royal family tree, that is, the royal person, and you happen to be a concubine, so no matter what today, you have to participate in the night sacrifice, this is the rule."

"......"

Listening to what Li Zhong meant, it doesn't work anyway?

She looked up at the emperor, and the man was eating, obviously agreeing with what Li Zhong said.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked Li Zhong to tell her the rules.

Yes, he has never known how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.

Not to mention that in front of the royal rules, where does she care if a woman is afraid of ghosts.

Thinking that he would need to ask the emperor to withdraw the avoidance soup later, he felt that he should not annoy the emperor first.

Anyway, she heard from those concubines that the emperor is the true son of the dragon, and his yang energy is vigorous, and demons and monsters dare not approach.

When the time comes, she will be by his side.

Moreover, there will definitely be guards and minions who will follow.

It's so self-consoling like this, it's so courageous!

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "Actually, I just said that, since the rules are like this, no matter how uncomfortable this palace is, it has to overcome difficulties and accompany the emperor to sacrifice together." ”

After saying that, she buried her head in her meal and did not speak again.

After lunch, Tanyan and the emperor rested in the inner room.

In addition to those mausoleums, in fact, there are thousands of houses in the large and small palaces in the imperial tombs.

They were all used by guards, court maids, eunuchs, and members of the royal family when they visited the imperial tomb.

When he woke up from a nap, the emperor was no longer at his pillow.

After some washing and dressing, it was getting dark.

When the sky was completely dark, a palace maid led Qian Yan and Xiaolian to the tomb of the former emperor.

Because the imperial mausoleum is too large, but this does not allow the carriage to drive, so the tilt is to take the tomb of the first emperor.

It was dark, and the sky was not beautiful, and there was not even a moon in the sky.

The sky was pitch black, with only a few faint stars twinkling faintly.

and beside the path of the imperial mausoleum, kerosene copper lamps are burned.

There were many trees planted in the imperial tomb, and the wind rustled the leaves.

Hearing this, people's scalps were numb, and a layer of goosebumps appeared on their bodies.
