"Yue'er, what are you doing at the door?"

Here was arguing, and suddenly a quiet voice came from behind him.

Everyone turned around to take a look, and saw that it was Shen Mi who took the lead and walked over with a group of people. Shen Shu stood beside Shen Mi and winked at Shi Qingqian gently.

Seeing Shen Shu coming, Si Xiuzhu's face turned blue and purple for a while, which was very ugly, and he took a step back behind Si Zihui.

"See the emperor-" Shi Yueran turned around and saluted, but when she didn't bend down, she was helped up by Shen Mi, "Your Majesty, the concubine and my sister met in front of the ancestral hall, said a few words, and waited for Your Majesty to come and light incense." ”

After speaking, Si Zihui also nodded.

Shen Mi just smiled and nodded, but his eyes never moved away from Shi Yueran's body for a second, "In the future, you don't have to stick to these etiquette, Yue'er just comes into the house, and you must not be tired to the point with your stomach up, so you don't have to be restrained about those unnecessary etiquette." ”

is so honored, even Jia Concubine, who is also pregnant with Liujia, can't match half a point. Now Jia Concubine followed Shen Mi to see this scene, and unconsciously reached out to support her belly that had not yet bulged, with hatred in her eyes.

"Sister, she is also pregnant, how can Concubine Yun be able to enjoy such a holy favor alone......" Ji Shulan said on the side.

Because she was offended by Concubine Tang before, she has not slept a few times, and she is still a nobleman. has been in the palace for so long, and naturally she has understood some of the principles of arrogance that cannot last long, and she has gradually gathered some edge and attached to Jia Concubine.

Jia Concubine glared at Xi Shulan fiercely, and said in a suppressed voice: "Today's sacrifice to the gods, my sister should say a few words, don't rush against Shen Yi!" ”

After that, he didn't look at Ji Shulan's face, and walked in with the crowd.

Ji Shulan scolded viciously behind her back, and then followed.

At the beginning of the blessing ceremony, Shi Yueran and Shen Mi both sat on the main seat, this blessing should be that everyone drank wine, ate white meat, and finally knelt down to pray for blessings, so at the beginning, the subordinates brought in the wine and white meat, and put them on the table next to them and waited.

"The hour has come—Qiyi—" The blessing official counted the time and preached loudly.

In the center of the main hall, there are two statues of gods, and on the table in front of the statues are placed a variety of offerings, all of which are melons and fruits, beef and mutton, and the like. Because Shi Yueran asked someone to prepare it in advance, a gold cover was buttoned on each plate of tribute, firstly to prevent mosquitoes from biting, and secondly, to retain the aroma.

With the voice of the blessing official, the little eunuch stepped forward to take off the golden cover, but suddenly exclaimed, "Ah! This, this ......"

With the voice of the little eunuch, a rotten smell permeated the hall, and everyone covered their noses, and the whole hall became noisy for a while.

"Did the sisters smell anything...... Si Zihui's position was behind Shi Yueran's forehead and on the left side of Shi Qingqian, so naturally what she said was the first thing the two of them heard.

Shi Yueran naturally smelled it, and stood up in disbelief and looked at the rotten melons and fruits and minced meat on the god throne from a distance, and a layer of sweat oozed from her body immediately, she cautiously glanced at Concubine Tang on the side, only to see that her face was also pale, and she was so frightened that she didn't know what to do.

This sacrifice to the gods must not be perfunctory in the slightest, and it is a great disrespect to miss a little disrespect, let alone directly sacrifice with rotten melons and fruits.

If it is light, it is inconsiderate, but if it is serious, it is blasphemy and a capital crime.

"Big sister, since this Yun Guifei is pregnant, she also knows that her brain is not very good," that Si Xiuzhu looked at the excitement with an expression on his face, and said in a raised tone, "My sister should have shared one or two for the concubine at that time, after all, the eldest sister was thoughtful in everything when she was in Cangli, and this is the mistake of using rotten food and sacrifice...... But never committed it! ”

"No, it's not! Your Majesty, the concubines only came to the ancestral hall this morning to inspect the ...... At that time, they were all fresh and fragrant melons and fruits, how could they rot in such a short time! Shi Yueran listened, she panicked, after all, she was responsible for this matter, and now that something went wrong, it would definitely be said that it was her fault.

Shen Mi's face was not good-looking, he didn't think that Shi Yueran would deliberately abuse the gods, but they all said that she had been stupid for three years when she was pregnant, maybe it was because Shi Yueran was really pregnant and couldn't take care of it, so something would go wrong.

In front of so many people, it is even more difficult for him to cover up directly.

Concubine Tang breathed a cold sigh of annoyance, "Tsk, Concubine Yun, you are responsible for decorating the ancestral hall, and now that something has gone wrong, you can't get out of it!" ”

"Concubine Niang! The concubine did not ...... It was really fresh when I came to see it this morning......"

Shi Yueran quickly knelt down, feeling aggrieved, but she didn't dare to make a big show in front of the gods, so she could only hold her throat.

Shi Qingqian turned his head to look at the faces of the concubines, and his snort unconsciously worsened.

Without waiting for her to move, suddenly a hand reached over and patted her hand in front of her knee, Shi Qingqian turned his head, and met Shen Shu's eyes, only to hear him say in his ear: "Madam, the gun shoots the first bird......"

"I have my own way," Shi Qingqian interrupted Shen Shu's words and nodded confidently at him, "Don't worry, there is no need to remedy this matter." ”

If it weren't for the fact that there was no room for ambiguity in a matter of gods, Shen Shu would not have stopped Shi Qingqian, but seeing her look so confident, he had no choice but to withdraw his hand and tell her to do it.

I saw Shi Qingqian walking forward in front of everyone's eyes, kneeling in front of the statue with a 'poof', and shouted without thinking about it: "Congratulations to the emperor!" Congratulations to the Emperor! This is a good omen, God bless my great country! ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was in an uproar.

Na Si Zihui pursed her lips, stared at Shi Qingqian fixedly, and asked puzzledly: "Princess Yan, this is a sacrifice of rancid melons and fruits...... With such a great disrespect, how can you still say that this is a good omen? ”

"How did Concubine Hui know that the melons and fruits were rotten in the first place? Nan compensated for this rotten melon and fruit, was Jia Concubine intentional? Shi Qingqian raised his eyebrows and asked directly.

Si Zihui was speechless with a word, replacing melons and fruits is a big crime, even if it was really done by her, she couldn't admit it.

"Didn't Princess Yan make her head stupid about the marriage? It's only May, if the melons and fruits are still good in the morning, how can it be that the kung fu of these two hours has rotted like this? Jia Concubine said behind her, her tone was very pressed, and there was no hint of provocation.
