There are three halls in the temple, the front hall, the middle hall and the back hall, the ancestor worship is a great ceremony, and it is held in the front hall.

The main hall is the style of the top of the heavy eaves palace, the triple white marble Sumeru pedestal, the stone guardrail around it, majestic and majestic. Officials and women of the first grade or above can climb the triple platform, and the rest of the hundreds of officials and women are arranged in the square, neat and neat, solemn and majestic.

Gu Qingyi stood on the left side of the high platform, the first was the queen, followed by the crown princess, the uncle and princess, and then to Gu Qingyi, and behind her was the princess and wife headed by the Zhu family. On the right are the princes and princes, and the position of King Qin is opposite to Gu Qingyi, looking at her from time to time, without hiding his worries at all.

Taimiao is outside the Chenghe Gate, coming out of the queen's palace, even if you can sit on your shoulder, you still need to walk in, and Mrs. Zhou should not support her at this time, so Gu Qingyi walked for a quarter of an hour with a big belly, and when she got on the high platform, she was already out of breath, sweating and sweating, and was blown by the cold wind, her face looked pale and very ugly.

However, at this time, the bell had sounded, and the prince, dressed in a bright yellow python robe, came out of the main hall in high spirits, and fought side by side with the queen.

The crown prince sacrificed on behalf of the emperor, and was guided by the ceremony to kneel down at the various gods, offer incense, and perform three kneels and nine knocks. Happy, laid, knighted. At the beginning of the line, the music played the "Chapter of the Peace", the dance of the dry relatives, the secretary knelt to offer the fence, the priest stood to offer the knight, the division blessed the version kneeled on the left side of the case, the prince pronounced the blessing, and the women of the hundred officials needed to kneel and listen.

The prayer is lengthy, and it usually takes more than half an hour to read, which is the hardest part of the festival. Gu Qingyi only barely knelt down in the previous three kneeling and nine bows, and he was exhausted at this time, if he knelt for another half an hour, he didn't have to think about the consequences at all.

In previous years, in this link, the emperor would give the old and weak heroes to order their wives to go to the palace to rest, and the old lady of Wu'anhou, Zhu, was one of them. However, the prince seems to want to treat everyone equally, but he deliberately ignores this link and does not mean to put it forward.

Sensing the cold gaze that the prince cast over intentionally or unintentionally, Gu Qingyi's heart sank.

At this moment, there was a lot of commotion in the queue, and Mrs. Zhou's voice sounded, "Old lady, what's wrong with you?" Okay? ”

Gu Qingyi hurriedly looked back, it was her grandmother who fell into A-Niang's arms holding her heart, her face changed suddenly, and she walked to her grandmother's side at an unprecedented flexible speed, "Heart-saving pills, grandmother, did you bring heart-saving pills?" ”

She was so anxious that she didn't even pay attention to the title, and anxiously untied the purse on her grandmother's waist, which really contained a spare heart-saving pill, she breathed a sigh of relief, poured it out and fed it to her grandmother, her voice was tense, "Grandmother, are you better?" ”

Zhu grabbed her hand, but her half-squinted and half-closed eyes slowly closed, as if she was exhausted.

The prince walked over with a gloomy face, "What's the matter?" ”

Mrs. Zhou suppressed the disgust and anger in her heart, and said worriedly, "The weather is too cold today, and I knelt down a few times, and the old lady couldn't stand it anymore, and her heart was sick." ”

Zhu's heart disease is because the men in the family died on the battlefield one by one, and even the emperor is very sympathetic to her, but now the prince has made the old lady sick because of poor care, which has caused many officials, especially military attachés, to look at her strangely.

The Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion is full of loyalty, and this year's Marquis of Wu'an is guarding the frontier and has never returned to Beijing for the New Year, but today because of the prince's inconsiderate inconsiderate provocation of the old lady's illness, it is really a bit excessive.

The prince's face was so gloomy that he could almost squeeze out water, for today's plan, he specially asked the imperial doctor to check Zhu's body, and said that he could support the New Year's sacrifice, but as a result, the sacrifice was only half carried out and people couldn't stand it, which made his face where to rest!

The civil and military officials will not feel that the old lady is disturbing the sacrifice, but will feel that he is not merciful.

The situation was stronger than people, and the prince had to grit his teeth and ordered, "Send the old lady to the palace to rest." ”

Zhu held Gu Qingyi's hand tightly and didn't let go, the palace attendant was in a dilemma for a while, he couldn't break the old lady's hand, right? The crown prince also saw it, and a grim look flashed in his eyes, "Princess Qin, let go of the old lady, don't delay the sacrifice." ”

He did everything he could to calculate just for today, King Qin caused him to lose a child, and today he will let him taste it a hundred times!

Gu Qingyi was stunned by the prince's cold gaze, and her face couldn't help but turn pale, and at this moment, King Qin stepped out of the column and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the princess is pregnant in August and is not in good health, and I also ask the prince to allow her to retire and rest with the old lady." ”

Princess Qin's face is not much better than that of the old lady, if there is no old lady fainting, no one will pay attention, and it will be over, and it will be too late for anything to happen, but now that everyone has noticed, how can the prince refuse?

Just when he couldn't get off the stage, the queen spoke, "The prince remembers the imperial father, and just wants to let the hundred officials and wives pray for His Majesty, but he forgot to be thoughtful, and he should make up for it at this time." Seeing that many adults are physically exhausted, this palace will retire and rest together. ”

Jiang is still old and spicy, and seeing that the plan failed, the queen came to the rescue.

It can be seen that the queen's rescue was successful, because the faces of the civil and military officials softened somewhat, and the prince also knew that it was irretrievable, so he could only save his reputation and let the palace people support the old and weak ministers, as for Gu Qingyi, he also turned a blind eye.

There is a special floor heating pavilion for resting in the hall, Gu Qingyi and the old lady were sent in together, the fiery silver charcoal crackled, and the melting heating filled the whole room, Gu Qingyi felt that the cold on his body gradually dissipated, and even the chill in his bones gradually withdrew, and finally had the feeling of coming back to life.

Since entering the warm pavilion, the old lady let go of Gu Qingyi's hand, and was lying on the kang at this time, covered with a thick blanket, and her face was much better.

Gu Qingyi was worried that her grandmother would catch a cold, so she covered the blanket on her body, and as soon as she left her hand, her grandmother opened her eyes, her eyes were calm and quiet, not like she had just woken up.

Perhaps, even her lack of support is pretending. Yes, King Qin said that the old lady would help her.

Being stared at by familiar eyes, Gu Qingyi was suddenly at a loss, and subconsciously shouted, "Grandmother......"

Zhu Shi held his hands to get up, Gu Qingyi hurriedly stepped forward to help, but she was also pregnant, and she couldn't even bend her waist, so she could serve people.

Zhu sat up by himself, looked at Gu Qingyi, who was a little at a loss, and pointed to the kang, "Sit." ”

Gu Qingyi hurriedly sat down, subconsciously wanted to put her legs together, her back straight, but her physical condition was not supportive, so she could only lean on the pillow with a red face, not daring to look at her grandmother's gaze.

"Why do you call me grandmother?"

In fact, since she was in the queen's Chengqian Palace, the Zhu family has observed Gu Qingyi intentionally or unintentionally, and always feels that her words and deeds are familiar to her, and she is actually the same as the eldest granddaughter. Hua'er grew up in front of her since she was a child, and she remembers the tone of her speech and her subconscious movements clearly, this niece is clearly like her eldest granddaughter.

I didn't look at her much like Hua'er before, but now she has changed a lot.

Gu Qingyi's heart thumped, and she suddenly had an urge to confess her identity, but after looking at her grandmother's tired face, she still endured it, her grandmother was old and couldn't stand this kind of stimulation.

She clasped her hands, endured the sourness in her heart, and said in a dumb voice, "I want to be filial to you for my cousin." ”

Zhu's eyes froze, and a touch of sadness flashed on her face, her Hua'er ......

Gu Qingyi saw the undisguised sadness on her grandmother's face, her eyes suddenly turned red, and tears fell uncontrollably, King Qin was right, grandmother still felt sorry for her.

She was both relieved and sad, but she didn't want her grandmother to mourn, so she wiped her tears and squeezed out an ugly smile, "It's me who is wrong, I shouldn't make you sad." ”

Zhu Shi closed her eyes, and when she opened her eyes again, she had already recovered her emotions, her gaze moved from Gu Qingyi's tear-stained cheeks to her high and bulging lower abdomen, her expression was faint, and she couldn't see anything abnormal, as if she just asked casually, "Is there any discomfort?" ”

Gu Qingyi was stunned for a moment, and slowly showed a smile, her eyes that had been washed by tears were bright and bright, and she was amazingly beautiful, "The baby is very well-behaved, very strong, and not troublesome at all." ”

After some tossing today, Gu Qingyi's body was very tired, but the child didn't react, he was really the most well-behaved.

She felt that this child was the greatest miracle in her life.
