Chapter Ninety-Six: Who's Blacker

Wang Baokun was standing respectfully in front of Murong Yan, reporting on the preparations for the sacrifice to the heavens. On the tray on the table in front of Murong Yan, there were two sets of ceremonial dresses for worshipping the heavens, one was a stone blue court skirt, and the other was a blue court dress, each set of clothes was equipped with lapis lazuli dynasty beads next to it. Yan Yue hurriedly broke into the house and interrupted Wang Baokun's words.

"Yan Yue, you take this dress back to the room to try it on, see if you need to change it, and wear it at night when you worship the sky." Murong Yan pointed to the clothes on the table and said with a smile. Yan Yue looked at Wang Baokun and was stunned, then picked up the two sets of clothes on the table and left. Murong Yan in the back couldn't help laughing: "That set of stone blue is yours, and the blue one is mine." ”

Yan Yue was embarrassed, and hurriedly put the blue clothes back, and then hurriedly returned to her room.

Yan Yue didn't care about the size of the costume, let alone the meaning of the costume. All the cells in Yan Yue's mind were pondering one thing, who saw that she and Wang Shijie were secretly eating pheasants, and quietly revealed the matter to those monks, which caused those monks to want to drive themselves and Wang Shijie out of the temple. Is this really someone scheming behind the scenes, or is he disrespectful to the Buddha and deserves to be caught? Yan Yue couldn't figure it out.

If it is designed by others, what is the purpose of the design, is it possible that they want to drive themselves out of this temple, so what good is it for the other party? Yan Yue thought that her head was about to burst, but there was no result, and it was not until she was startled by Murong Yan's voice behind her that she woke up from that contemplation.

"Yue'er, what do you want? Does this dress fit, should you change it? Also, have you tried? Murong Yan asked strangely. Today's Yan Yue's behavior is indeed very strange, hearing that Jean tried on clothes without saying a word and picked them up, and now she is sitting here in a daze.

Yan Yue stared at Murong Yan in a daze, dazed for a moment, and just when Murong Yan was surprised, Yan Yue suddenly asked, "Murong Yan, clothes are not important, Wang Guards were taken by those monks to wash the fragrant soup." That, what is fragrant soup, and will it be serious? ”

Under Murong Yan's expression, Yan Yue honestly explained that she was stealing pheasants in the name of collecting medicine, and finally repeatedly explained that Wang Shijie had received it on her behalf. It's just that the more Yan Yue said, the colder Murong Yan's face became. It seems that since this encounter in the valley of Yingxue Country, Murong Yan has not used such an expression to face Yan Yue, even though Yan Yue is dissatisfied in his heart, but after all, he is at fault first, and he doesn't dare to say anything more for a while.

"Today is the day for you and my husband and wife to worship the sky, and it is also the day for the emperor and queen of the Darong Dynasty to pray for the blessings of the people, you still have the heart to eat that pheasant, which is more important, I don't believe you don't have any brains!" Murong Yan's voice became more and more stern the more he spoke, but Yan Yue heard it inexplicably.

Obviously, Yan Yue and this Murong Yan both made the same mistake, and that was the answer to the question. Murong Yan reprimanded, but what he saw was Yan Yue's blank expression, so he stomped his feet angrily and turned to leave, leaving Yan Yue alone to sit there stunned for a long time at a loss.

Fortunately, soon there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and just when Yan Yue thought it was Murong Yan who had gone and returned, she saw that Wang Baokun appeared in front of the door, and said respectfully: "The emperor arranged for the humble duty to explain the etiquette of the sacrifice to the heavens, may I ask the mother to start now?" ”

Yan Yue was stunned for a moment and nodded hurriedly. Then Wang Baokun said slowly: "The emperor sacrifices to the sky, and his purpose is twofold, one is to tell God that the world is peaceful, and the other is to ask God to continue to bless the prosperity of the country and the health of the people." The most taboo thing to worship the sky is filth, and the emperor has started a vegetarian diet yesterday. All utensils for worshipping the heavens are required to be clean and special. The rice used for the sacrifice must be neatly grained, and the livestock must be washed and dried many times, and the teacups, bowls, forks and basins used for the sacrifice must be bathed in advance, and the purity and ...... must be ensured."

Yan Yue didn't expect that there was so much attention to sacrificing to the sky, no wonder Murong Yan was so angry when he heard that he had gone to steal pheasants. But if you're like this, can you not sacrifice to the sky? Thinking of this, Yan Yue naturally asked: "The emperor sacrifices to the sky, how many people usually follow?" ”

This time, Wang Baokun suddenly raised his head, glanced at Yan Yue expressionlessly, and then lowered his head and replied: "The emperor is usually accompanied by the queen and the crown prince, and the other entourages only follow on the side of the palace. ”

Yan Yue sighed, but when her eyes looked at the set of heaven sacrifice clothes again, a thought quickly flashed in her mind, the sacrifice to heaven was only accompanied by the queen and the prince, and now Murong Yan did not set up a prince, so he was accompanied by himself, didn't Murong Yan tell the heavens that the queen of Darong was Yan Yue? And this notice has a great significance in front of the Temple of Heaven. No wonder Murong Yan was so angry! Yan Yue quickly picked up her clothes, said thank you to Wang Baokun with a smile, and ran out quickly.

Murong Yan was frowning and standing in front of the window, Yan Yue slammed into Murong Yan's back, wrapped her arms around his neck with both hands, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I don't know these etiquettes, if you had told me earlier, I would definitely not have eaten that pheasant secretly, and I would have started eating vegetarian three days in advance." ”

Such a soft tone and tone could only hear the expression on Murong Yan's face softened little by little, but he still scolded with a stiff face: "You are the queen of the Darong Dynasty, you can't be such a child's temper anymore." Sometimes, I have to endure for me. Although he still reprimanded, he couldn't hear any annoyance in his voice, Yan Yue hummed softly, and rubbed his face on Murong Yan's back coquettishly, this time Murong Yan really didn't have any temper, and couldn't help but turn around and hug Yan Yue, hugging him hard before letting go.

"That fragrant soup is not a punishment, but it is to wash the body with the thirty-two kinds of incense potions prepared by the Buddhists, so it doesn't matter. It's just that you are messing around, and even the king's guards are messing around with you, even if you come back at night, I will punish him again! Murong Yan continued to criticize harshly. Yan Yue took care of the loss again, looked at Murong Yan, and quickly changed the topic and said, "I don't know if this dress fits or not, or I'll try to show you." After Yan Yue finished speaking, she went to get the clothes, and sure enough, this successfully diverted Murong Yan's attention.

If Yan Yue didn't understand the reason why she was plotted against at this time, then Yan Yue was really stupid. Obviously to prevent Yan Yue and Murong Yan from worshiping the heavens together, obviously having an opinion about Yan Yue wearing the queen's costume and standing beside Murong Yan. Yan Yue has always had revenge and revenge, and kindness repaid kindness. Now that she knew the other party's purpose, Yan Yue had a plan in her heart. Thinking about it, Yan Yue still felt that her lack of professional knowledge was the most important reason for being plotted, so Yan Yue asked Murong Yan about the precautions and points of the night sacrifice one by one, and then left. However, when leaving, Yan Yue didn't forget to take away all the wild hairy chestnuts on Murong Yan's table, only to see that Murong Yan was angry and funny: "There is still some time, take a good rest, or you will doze off at night." ”

Yan Yue really slept well obediently, and when she woke up, it was dinner time. The food in the evening is still all vegetarian, but it looks much more refined than at noon. It's just that before Yan Yue could see what the dishes were, she was attracted by the red wine in Murong Yan's hand, and Yan Yue stammered for a while and asked, "This wine, can't you drink it?" ”

What answered Yan Yue was Murong Yan's somewhat doting smile, and he said proudly: "This is Li Zilu, not wine, you taste it, it tastes really good." As soon as Murong Yan said this, Yan Yue breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't drink alcohol, he couldn't drink dew, this idea was good, I didn't expect these monks to enjoy it. Yan Yue couldn't help but mumble out of her mouth when she thought about it. Murong Yan was amused again, only to feel that Yan Yue was too childlike, and immediately said funny: "This Li Zilu is not from Chuanyun Temple, it is specially made by Master Bi who knows that he can't drink, saying that it can clear away heat, detoxify and quench thirst." ”

Yan Yue smiled embarrassedly at Bi Chenggong again, but a little doubt suddenly appeared in her mind, and Murong Yan's next words made Yan Yue feel cold: "If you don't like to drink this plum dew, Master Bi also made chrysanthemum tea......

Yan Yue smiled at Nabi Chenggong again, and when she looked at the table, she already had more thoughts. The sweet is chilled plums, the soup is diced glutinous rice sweet potato, and the staple food is glutinous rice sesame balls and steamed sweet potato...... The more Yan Yue looked at it, the more she couldn't help laughing, she didn't kick herself out of the temple, this time Bi Chenggong wanted to let herself die!

You must know that this chicken and plum are restrained, eating is diarrhea chicken and chrysanthemum, eating is dead chicken and glutinous rice, eating together will cause physical discomfort Chicken and sesame seeds will be restrained, eating together will seriously lead to death eggs and sweet potatoes, and eating together will cause abdominal pain...... Whether it is wine or tea, whether it is a staple food or soup, nothing can be eaten by those who eat chicken! At this time, Yan Yue was really glad for the king's guards, glad that he was punished by Murong Yan for three meals and was not allowed to eat, if he came at night, it would really be a loss for his life to this pheasant.

Of course Yan Yue is not afraid, Yan Yue's body is invulnerable. But Yan Yue didn't want to suffer this loss, thinking of this, she smiled and said to Murong Yan: "It's really hard Master Bi, there is nothing to reward, why don't you ask the emperor to reward Master Bi with the wild hairy chestnuts that he gave to his concubines this afternoon?" Murong Yan smiled and nodded, and Yan Yue said again: "Wang Baokun, you come to my room table and bring the wild hairy chestnut, and everyone can share it together." ”

Wang Baokun hurriedly stood up and responded, Yan Yue had already raised his wine glass and took a sip at Murong Yan's slight gesture, and immediately praised loudly: "It's really delicious." Everyone stopped talking, and when Wang Baokun brought the wild hairy chestnut, Yan Yue smiled and said, "Take it, I will personally reward it to Master Bi." Under the gaze of everyone, Yan Yue put a few in front of her, and watched with her own eyes that Bi Zaigong ate it in her stomach.

The dinner ends with laughter and laughter, and the worship of heaven begins in solemnity and sacredness. As soon as the time came, in the sacred and solemn chanting songs of the monks, Yan Yue and Murong Yan walked from the gate of the temple to the Temple of Heaven in solemn costumes to worship the heavens, and began to greet the gods. Accompanied by the ceremony of kneeling three times and bowing nine times, Yan Yue's heart also gave birth to a bit of solemnity. It's just that the next time to offer food, sacrifices, wine and jade silk to the gods, etc., they will all be done by the emperor alone, and Yan Yue only needs to kneel three times and bow nine times with Murong Yan when he finally sends the gods.

Yan Yue stood there with a serious face, as if she was looking forward to the gods. Only Yan Yue knew what she was looking forward to, and she must know that if the person accompanying the sacrifice to the heavens spits, coughed, talked and laughed, made noise, etc., no matter what the identity of the clan, minister, or official was, he would definitely be severely punished. Therefore, all those who accompanied the sacrifice were sincerely frightened and terrified. This knowledge is still what Yan Yue said when she heard Murong Yan in the afternoon, Yan Yue's poison is very well controlled, counting the time, it is the most critical moment to sacrifice to the sky, and that Bi Chenggong should be making a fool of himself.

At this time, Bi Chenggong, who was standing meticulously on the side of the main hall, was drenched, cold sweat kept flowing, and the scene in front of him was blurred for a while, his stomach hurt to the extreme, and he just thought that there was a toilet in front of him. But Bi Chenggong knew that if he left at this time, or showed any movement, he would leave permanently.

It's just that the pain is getting worse and worse, and Bi Chenggong is more and more unbearable, Bi Chenggong finally couldn't bear it anymore, and fell to the ground with a thud.
