Inserted the incense in the incense altar, got up and stood aside, one after another the emperor and grandson nobles began to worship the incense, Cang Linchen took her hand, and said softly in her ear: "Let's go out for a while, otherwise the smoke here will be so smoked that people can't open their eyes." ”

Xia Yinhuan nodded, she did feel that the smoke in the ancestral hall was too big, almost choking her throat.

Outside the hall, the snow fell even more, and it fell on the ground like goose feathers, and it had accumulated a layer of snow white after a while, Xia Yinhuan reached out and held a piece of snow in his hand, and looked at it, and it had turned into water.

"What program have you prepared for tonight's palace banquet?" Cang Linchen looked at her innocent appearance, her eyebrows were like water, and she was quiet and relieved.

Xia Yinhuan tilted his head to look at him, shook his head and said, "What program can I have?" Nothing, it's enough to have Yang Musician in the wind. ”

Although Xia Yinhuan said this, she actually had a plan in her heart, as a modern woman in the 21st century, she could not be compared to the ancients, and the ancients said that being able to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting is talented.

But the things I learn are limited, there are only a few songs to play the piano, and playing chess is even more boring, and I also create my own speech, a few people can be outstanding, and most people are just vassals and elegant.

There will be more things than modern learning, thinking of the old days, when he often went out to sing K, although his voice was not a natural sound, he didn't say that she sang badly.

She is not very good at dancing, and she can't do anything in mechanical dancing, so there is only one way out of singing.

"This can't be done, as a queen, even if there is no show, you have to come up with something decent to please people." Cang Rinchen is not teasing her, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the royal grandson and nobles must ask for a lottery, and they must prepare money or gifts.

"Wouldn't you just prepare something to give away?" Xia Yinhuan didn't bother to give things away, he usually accepted gifts from others, if he was asked to pick a gift to give to someone, he really didn't know what to choose.

Cang Rinchen raised his hand and rubbed her hair bun, and sighed: "You are really lazy enough for the mother of this country. ”

Xia Yinhuan snorted coldly and stopped talking, biting her fingernails and frowning, if she really wanted to pick a gift, she actually felt that it was best to give silver, and she could only see that some unreal things could only be used if they were not used, and there was no practical use, so it was better to give silver.

She was thinking about it, Ande quietly walked to the two of them, looked at Xia Yinhuan and then at Cang Linchen, and then said: "Your Majesty, all the princes and princesses have already made incense, it's time to sacrifice." ”

Cang Rinchen nodded, and with a wave of his sleeves, he said, "You are responsible for arranging these things, and you have full control." ”

He didn't have to do it himself to use the blood of beasts to pay tribute to Cang Linchen, he just had to watch from the sidelines, after all, such a bloody thing, although it was a tribute to the ancestors, it was not good to stick to the body.

Ander received the order to retreat, and Cang Linchen took Xia Yinhuan to sit on the chair next to the ancestral hall, at this time the gongs and drums were noisy, and the lion dance team danced in the garden of the ancestral hall.

Xia Yinhuan watched a show, but he watched it seriously, and when he was watching intently, he suddenly saw a sheep being brought in by a guard.

Led to the altar, there are two circles, the outermost circle is a ring, wrapping the middle platform.

The platform is like a carved pattern of the phoenix and the dragon, extending to the ring and the ravines of the platform, and the sheep leading to the platform are looking around, as if they have never seen such a lively scene, and the dark night is full of surprise, bleating.

At this time, he drew a short knife and plunged it directly into the neck of the sheep that was still carrying the novelty, and saw that the blood was flowing like a stop, and the sheep's cry was louder, but it had been converted into a scream.

The guard drew his short knife, and the brown-fured sheep fell to the ground, lying on the stone platform twitching its four feet, and the blood that spilled from the blank slowly spread along the lines, as if all the patterns were outlined with plasma, and the complete picture of the dragon and phoenix singing flowed into the ravine.

Xia Yinhuan looked at it and frowned, it was supposed to be a festive picture, but when she saw that the sheep that died tragically had no sense at all, she stared at her dead eyes, and felt sick to her stomach.

Only today did she understand that the ancient sacrifice was so cruel, this was still killing poultry, and the more ancient method of breath was to kill the living, and the death row prisoners who committed serious crimes would be reduced to sacrifices.

Thinking of the scene of the river of blood and the sacrifice of corpses all over the field, Xia Yinhuan couldn't help but shudder.

Cang Linchen saw it in his eyes, and hurriedly held her hand and asked with concern, "Are you okay, Yin Huan?" ”

Xia Yinhuan shook his head, glanced at the princes and grandsons who applauded, but they were pale but bit their lips and didn't say anything.

If she leaves with stage fright at this time, there will definitely be people who don't like it, and there will be people who chew the root of their tongues behind their backs, for the sake of Cang Linchen and the queen's reputation, it is better for her to stick to it and continue to watch.

"Ande, send Yin Huan back to Fengqi Palace." Cang Linchen saw her complexion thoroughly, obviously uncomfortable but persevering, this should not be Xia Yinhuan's style.

In any case, if Xia Yinhuan felt unwell, he would definitely not let Xia Yinhuan continue to stay here, and the sacrifice would be solved even if there was no queen.

"Yes." An Di bowed, and then made a gesture of invitation to Xia Yinhuan: "Niangniang, go back to Fengqi Palace with the slaves?" ”

Xia Yinhuan still shook her head stubbornly, she had seen the killing on the battlefield, but it was just killing a few poultry, she thought it shouldn't be a big deal.

"Go back." Cang Rin said under the dust board, holding her hand a little harder: "If you can't hold on like this, won't you let these people laugh?" ”

Xia Yinhuan looked at Cang Rinchen, and then at the excited princes and nobles in the courtyard, lowered his eyes and stood up, Cang Rinchen naturally let go of his hand, and gave Xia Yinhuan a reassuring look: "Go back, I can hold it up alone." ”

Xia Yinhuan thought that he was just a foil here, and it was Cang Rinchen who really did things, so even if he left, it shouldn't be a big deal. Only then did he nod and follow Ender away.

When she returned to Fengqi Palace, she felt that her stomach was turning upside down, and she spit up with a spittoon to get much better.

Liuli watched Xia Yinhuan sit weakly on the chair, hurriedly handed over a glass of water, and asked worriedly, "Niangniang, are you okay?" Do you want to see a doctor? ”

"No need, let them rest well on Chinese New Year's Eve! The main palace is fine. "In the modern Spring Festival, there will be annual leave, but in ancient times there was no such thing as annual leave, and whether it was a court official or a palace doctor in the Chinese New Year's Eve, as long as they were summoned, they would inevitably come.

Xia Yinhuan took the water cup and took a sip gently, he didn't eat anything in the morning, so he just spit out two sips of sour water.

I rinsed my mouth and felt a lot better, but my stomach hurt a little, and I was lying on a chair panting.

"Don't attend tonight's dinner, don't go to the slave maid, go and tell the emperor." Liuli said that he turned around and was about to leave, Xia Yinhuan was the first time he saw this, even if he had been injured by the board and had not healed, he could be alive and well, but at this time, he was dying, which made her quite worried.

"This palace said that it was okay, so there was no need to tell Cang." Xia Yinhuan stopped Liuli, she knew her body herself, she knew better than anyone what the situation was, I am afraid that it was because she was not comfortable with watching the bloody scene, so she vomited.

I am in good health, I am not sick, I am not injured, I am not infected with cold, and I will be fine after resting for a while.

Xia Yinhuan didn't let her go, and Liuli couldn't help it, thinking that it would be better to observe for a while to see if Xia Yinhuan's body would improve.

This is a day, and the year is generally the busiest time, especially when the dust is sacrificed, and the ancestral hall is sacrificed, and the treasury is checked once.

Xia Yinhuan had lunch, and finally felt a lot better in the afternoon, and she didn't feel nauseous anymore, so she couldn't sit still when she remembered the palace banquet tonight, and went to Hele Palace with Liuli.

The program arrangement in the palace is generally decided by Yang Leshi, she thinks that she is the mother of a country after all, and it is not reasonable to stand by and watch nothing before the palace banquet.

So I thought about helping Yang Musician a little bit, so that I could integrate my own ideas, after all, she had prepared a program and was ready to shine at the palace banquet.

Yang Musician Xia Yinhuan hadn't seen it up close, and arrived at Hele Palace at this time, and followed Gong Le to the wing where Yang Musician lived.

As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, she heard a gentle piano sound, which was extraordinarily pleasant, Xia Yinhuan didn't know what the tune was, it was a tune she had never heard before, sometimes soft and sometimes urgent, sometimes revealing a thick sadness, sometimes a light joy.

She was a little distracted when she heard this, and at this time, the slave who led the way had already raised her hand and knocked on the door: "Master Yang, the queen is here, please go out to meet the musician." ”

The piano stopped abruptly, and the tail note could not be dispersed in the air for a long time, and after a while, the door had been opened, and I saw her pink face, peach cheeks, light makeup, dignified and elegant, willow eyebrows, almond eyes, and a pointed chin under thin lips.

The height is a little higher than Xia Yinhuan, about a forehead higher, at this time, I came to open the door to see Xia Yinhuan standing at the door, and hurriedly leaned over and saluted: "Minister, knock on the queen mother, the queen mother is a thousand years old." ”

Although Xia Yinhuan didn't know the size of the official position in the palace, he also knew that the official position of a musician would definitely not be lower than that of the imperial chef or the imperial doctor.

Yang Leshi is also the first female official Xia Yinhuan has ever seen in the palace, except for those stewards of the Shangyi Bureau and the Jingshi Room in the palace, and her appearance is also rarely beautiful.

"What's the matter if you don't go to the queen?" Yang Leshi straightened his waist, there was no excessive expression on his face, and his apricot eyes were only calm.

Xia Yinhuan had just heard her piano sound, and now she saw her outstanding appearance up close, she couldn't help but lose her mind a little, and when she came back to her senses after hearing her ask this, she coughed twice to hide her embarrassment: "Ahem, I just came to the palace to see the program prepared by Yang Leshi for tonight's palace banquet, I don't know how it went?" ”

As the head of the six palaces, although there is only one concubine in the palace, Concubine Xiang, she should also fulfill her responsibilities, and she should come and have a look.

"It turns out that the queen mother is here for this matter, and the lady asks the ministers to come in." Yang Leshi said that he had already retreated into the room first, his posture did not look like a daughter's body, and he looked like a weak scholar from the back.

Xia Yinhuan followed her into the house, looking at the furnishings in the room was too simple, entering the room was faced with a guqin, next to a guzheng, there was a pipa behind the ancient town, and then there was an erhu, the jade flute and the bamboo flute were placed in the brocade box, but the brocade box was not closed.
