The shrine maiden who had been waiting on the side stepped forward to salute the emperor.

The history of the country advocates witchcraft, and the status of witchcraft is high in the country, and it is a school with a higher status than monks.

The palace is home to shrine maidens who are dedicated to the royal family, and they have passed it down by themselves, and they have served the royal family for generations.

The people of the country believed that the witch could accept the will of the gods through the heavens, so the witches of the past generations seemed to be chattering with gods.

The shrine maidens in front of them were draped in their hair, and their faces were smeared with a few pieces of paint, so they couldn't see their original appearances clearly, and they all lowered their heads, looking up through the gaps in their hair, with eerie and terrifying expressions.

It was hard to describe what he was wearing, and the black robe was woven into a belt of colorful strips of cloth around his waist, and the long black robe was dragged on the ground and covered with mud.

The witch at the head bent over the emperor:

Greetings to Your Majesty

Sisi couldn't hear what she said, her voice was very small, and she straightened up and glanced in the direction of Concubine Chun, and shook her head:

Weird

Concubine Chun's face changed greatly: "I don't know what the witch said." ”

The shrine maiden didn't bother to raise her eyelids any longer, turned around and walked towards the altar, followed by several more of the same shrine maidens, and followed her to the altar.

At this time, the sun had come out, and the day in August was still very hot, and the water vapor was dried in the sun, and everyone walked to the altar, where there were many futons that had been arranged.

Sisi saw that he was about to kneel again, and couldn't help frowning.

glanced at the fourth prince with his eyes, and saw that his face was as usual, and he didn't know what he was planning.

The little eunuchs set the offerings in order and stepped aside.

Sacrifice to the first emperor!

The witch suddenly shouted.

Everyone, led by the emperor, knelt on the futon and kowtowed three times reverently.

The shrine maiden stood diagonally to the side of the crowd, her eyes closed.

Sisi didn't understand the etiquette of the sacrifice, but when everyone knelt, she also knelt, and when everyone kowtowed, she also kowtowed.

Gently raising his eyelids, he observed the crowd, and everyone was very religious.

Sisi doesn't believe in this, the royal family prays for the protection of their ancestors, but these ancestors who bless them are not also asking for the protection of others.

Man is really a strange creature, and if you live, he will drain you; When you die, he wants you to bless him.

Let you be a human and a ghost, and you will not be at peace.

Concubine Chun was uneasy because of the words of the witch maiden before, although His Majesty did not express his position, but the rumors and rumors from the palace recently did not reach His Majesty's ears.

I sent someone to investigate, but no one found out where the rumors came from.

At first, she suspected that Luoying Palace was behind the ghost, and after thinking about it, such rumors must have benefited Xiao Cairen, if it wasn't Xiao Cairen, she really couldn't figure out who else.

But after staring at it for two days, there was no movement in Luoying Palace, in the end, His Majesty imprisoned Xiao Cairen, and he dismissed all her palace people, so far who else can she rely on, and who else will do things for her.

None of her own brothers had pleaded with His Highness, and who else could speak for her.

Later, she thought of Liu Shuyi again, she has been in the limelight more recently than before, and she is not a top grade, but His Majesty thinks of her gentle and lovely, and often goes to her palace recently.

His Majesty is not a good woman today, and there are not too many warblers and Yanyan in the harem, and she can't understand these people more thoroughly.

Liu Shuyi is cautious, how dare she compete with herself?

But who else could it be?

While she was bowing her head and pondering, everyone had finished prostrating and got up, and she staggered when she got up because the headdress was too heavy.

The emperor hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold her, and the pure concubine looked up at His Majesty with affection:

With how the rumors fly around, Your Majesty loves me and respects me, even no one can shake the palace!

Respecting heaven and earth, and respecting ancestors, the cumbersome sacrificial rituals have made Sisi's knees very sore, I knew that I had to kneel for so long today, she must learn from the little swallow, and make a few pairs of 'kneeling easy'.

Si Si took advantage of today's day to take a good look at the concubines in the harem, knowing himself and knowing that he could win all battles, and he couldn't say that he supported Xiao Cairen, she thought clearly, judging from the things in the Lin Mansion, there are really people in the palace who are easy to do, if she has a good relationship with which concubine in the palace, she will not say that she has good words in front of His Majesty, only that there is a wind and grass in the palace that she came to ventilate and report the news, so she let Sisi burn high incense.

There are no eyes in the palace, which is really inconvenient everywhere.

The futon at the front knelt on the current saint, on the wrong half of his right side knelt the pure concubine, and in the second row kneeling three women, who should be His Majesty's three concubines.

Sisi looked from the back, and the three women were very graceful.

The one on the left is wearing a dark blue dress, he can't see the front clearly, he can only see a crooked bun of a fallen horse, dotted with emerald green jade steps, and the ear style is also a compliant jade earring, looking at the side, the woman's nose is high, her cheeks are plump and ruddy, and she looks like she is in her thirties.

This person should be Liu Shuyi, worthy of being born in the Hou Mansion, generous, decent and suitable for her identity, Sisi praised her in her heart, and suddenly remembered that she was Liu's sister and Lin Ziqing's aunt.

looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, and thought about Lin Ziqing, who had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, how he didn't look like it.

Lin Ziqing has won all the favor of the Lin Mansion, but he has not inherited any advantages in the appearance of the Liu family and Lin Zheng, which is really a pity and wants to laugh.

It's just that why Lin Zheng has relatives like Liu Shuyi, but he still wants to go to Concubine Chun, and just when he can't think of a reason, the witch over there has started to do the next item.

Starting with the emperor, everyone went to the altar to offer incense.

The witch stood on the edge of the altar, her eyes half-closed, the appearance of the god there, and the incense in His Majesty's hand was very thick, which was different from the usual Xihe for General Yuan.

The closer to the altar, the more uncomfortable Sisi's nose becomes, this place is a depression, the wind can't blow in, and the incense is very heavy, and if you can't float up, you will be trapped around this platform.

Sisi already has a sensitive nose, but this time he suffered a big sin.

I said in my heart that I must not sneeze, never sneeze.

I finally got to myself, and I thought about leaving this place after finishing the incense quickly.

Cautiously walked to the altar, but the witch who had been half-closed suddenly raised her head and looked directly at Yuan Sisi!

The witch's eyes were so strange that they were amber eyes!

Sisi was startled, she didn't hold back and sneezed loudly, and the ashes of the altar were blown up by her, she was startled, covered her mouth tightly, and didn't dare to move.

The emperor was shocked, not knowing what the omen of this incident was.

Sisi was also very flustered, it's over, it's over, it's over, and now it's time to move her head.

messed up His Majesty's Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, and a few of his own heads were not enough to cut off.

Ever since he witnessed the emperor's frivolous execution of Xiao Shunzi and Wang Yang, he was very afraid of this emperor, worried that one day he would be careless, and he would be pulled to the noon gate with a knife.

"Dare to ask who this noble man is?"

The witch stared at Sisi and asked word by word.

Sisi was furious in her heart, but she had to answer honestly:

"The little woman is the lord of Chang'an."

The witch closed her eyes and muttered twice, then opened her eyes again and said to Sisi, "After the county lord, the future is immeasurable. ”

Sisi also wanted to ask her why she said this, but saw that the witch closed her eyes again, and her demeanor was the same as before.

Concubine Chun remembered the previous collision of Sisi in Yixiang Palace, so she thought about Sisi's accusation of disrespecting the ancestors, and she scolded Sisi loudly: "Such a loss of honor, it is difficult to guarantee that the ancestors will not be blamed, and please ask Your Majesty to punish the county lord of Chang'an to comfort the spirit of the ancestors in the sky!" ”
