Chapter 420: The power is out
Lan Jing'an asked everyone again: "What time is it?" A clever little palace man hurriedly ran into the Xuande Hall to take a look, and replied: "Two o'clock." Wu Wei added: "The hundred officials have returned to the Zhengxuan Hall to wait." ”
The moon worship is at the beginning of Haihai, but in order to show respect for the moon god, everyone has to walk from the main hall to the south garden, so they should set off at the end of the day. Lan Jing'an turned to look at Xiao Qingyun, pinched himself hard, and softened his tone: "Your Majesty, let's go now?" ”
Xiao Qingyun knew that she was angry now, but she was just trying to hold on to the face of both parties. He nodded, walked to her side, and said to Wu Wei in a loud voice, "Go back to the Zhengxuan Palace." ”
Hearing this, Lan Jing'an strode forward, not even wanting to look at Xiao Qingyun. Xiao Qingyun walked side by side with her, finding the right opportunity, and grabbed Lan Jing'an's hand at once. Lan Jing'an tried to break free from his grasp, but he couldn't struggle too much because he didn't care about the people who followed him.
But at a glance, Xiao Qingyun was pierced by her fierce eyes, but even so, he still held her hand tightly and refused to relax. No one noticed that the two who walked in the front, under the cover of wide robes, were engaged in a silent battle. Even though Xiao Qingyun was reluctant in her heart, she was still afraid of hurting her, so she had to let her pull out in the end.
When the two of them walked to the Zhengxuan Palace, the sound of silk and bamboo had already stopped, and all the officials were waiting at the door of the Zhengxuan Palace. Lan Jing'an took the lead in bowing down and apologizing to the hundred officials: "It's me who is late, and even His Majesty is late." I also ask for your forgiveness. ”
The light outside the hall was unknown, Zhang Xun's old eyes were dizzy, and he couldn't see Lan Jing'an's expression clearly, so he only heard her tone calm and calm, as calm as ever. With an indescribable emotion in his heart, he replied on behalf of the hundred officials: "Her Royal Highness the Queen is serious. ”
Lan Jing'an glanced at Xiao Qingyun again, and Xiao Qingyun spoke: "Now you will go to the sacrificial pit with me." After speaking, he made a gesture to Lan Jing'an: "The great secretary will ask first." ”
Lan Jing'an smiled, nodded, and took the lead. Xiao Qingyun saw her smiling weirdly, followed her gaze, and unsurprisingly ushered in another flower-like smile. He sighed in his heart, accompanied Lan Jing'an, and went to the sacrificial pit in Nanyuan together.
On the road to Nanyuan, Lan Jing'an didn't know how many times he walked with Xiao Qingyun, but he had never been so silent. In previous years, the situation of stopping and laughing with the ministers and admiring the moon was gone, Lan Jing'an walked hurriedly in front, and the Qiyun Emperor beside her followed silently, like a shadow. The tighter he followed, the faster Lan Jing'an walked.
Zhang Xun, who followed behind, was the oldest, and gradually couldn't keep up with the pace of the latter two, and he was a little out of breath. Feng Shen hurriedly stepped forward, helped the person aside, and let the other ministers go first. Zhang Xun and the others were almost gone, so they shook their heads with a wry smile: "Old man, it's useless." ”
Feng Shen heard that Zhang Xun suddenly sighed, and comforted him: "Where is the prime minister." You are the most old and strong, and the court is counting on you. ”
Seeing his anxious eyes, Zhang Xun didn't know what he was thinking, so he only whispered to him: "That kid in Nanxing misses His Royal Highness, and tomorrow he will trouble Feng Zhijinwu to send her to the palace early in the morning." ”
Feng Shen frowned, and was about to say that His Royal Highness was in chaos there, and it was not appropriate to send Zhang Nanxing into the palace tomorrow morning, when he saw Zhang Xun silently lip syncing him. Feng Shen immediately comprehended, and said loudly: "Okay, I'll go to the house to pick up Miss Nine at the beginning of tomorrow, and please prepare early." The two tacitly exchanged glances, and Feng Shen continued to help Zhang Xun walk forward.
The Mid-Autumn Festival moon sacrifice is a tradition handed down from ancient times, not only the Qianguo country, the Xia country, the former Dayong also have this sacrifice, and even the north to the Xiongnu and the south to Baiyue have similar customs. The moon sacrifice at the kan corresponds to the sacrifice day at the altar, so it is necessary to choose the lowest place in the south garden. There were already palace people waiting there next to the sacrificial pit near the Yitu Pavilion. Seeing the emperor appear, they saluted one after another.
Drums sounded, and the crowd lined up on both sides of the pit. The drum beat again, and Lan Jing'an, as the chief priest, straightened his appearance, walked to the front of the sacrifice table, burned incense and prayed, and sang a cappella to the sound of the drum:
The sun is born in the east, and the moon is born in the west. The length of yin and yang is always patrolling. Obviously secluded, the world is peaceful.
The moon wheel is prosperous, so that all things are subdued. Pearlescent soft, so that the mountains and rivers are smooth. The condensation follows, and the people work for the end.
The moon god has a bright and blessed country. The Son of Heaven is virtuous, let virtue be in heaven. The good of the princes belongs to the Son of Heaven.
Si ordered to be respectful, and prayed for mercy. Worship to the gods, and enjoy the feast.
After she finished singing, a palace man carried the lamb forward and placed it in the sacrificial tripod. Lan Jing'an took the osmanthus wine from Siying's hand, handed it to Xiao Qingyun who was standing aside, and chanted loudly: "Worship to the gods, and enjoy the feast." Xiao Qingyun sprinkled the wine into the sacrificial ding.
Lan Jing'an threw the lit moonlight paper into the tripod and led everyone to bow three more times. As the green smoke gradually rose, and to the sound of drums, Lan Jing'an chanted again, guiding the moon god to enjoy the sacrifice. The moon sacrifice is considered a middle ceremony, so it doesn't last too long, and it ends at two moments after the first two minutes.
As soon as the ceremony was over, Lanjing Anduo didn't want to stay for a moment, turned around and turned back to the Xuande Palace. Xiao Qingyun knew what was on her mind and was about to keep up, but she was surrounded by Bai Qingfeng with Gu Qishun and others. Bai Qingfeng couldn't hold back, and continued the unfinished dissuasion in the Zhengxuan Palace: "Your Majesty, the canonization of Zhaoyi is a major matter, and it should be delayed." Besides, the difficulty should be even worse. ”
Before Xiao Qingyun could speak, a male voice outside the crowd had already sounded: "What is King Ding's words?" Is it doubting the sincerity of the friendship between the two countries? As he spoke, the visitor had come closer and closer, and squeezed in through the crowd.
Bai Qingfeng bluffed, looked at the person gloomily, and said unceremoniously: "King Wensu, this is a domestic affair. The state banquet is over, you don't think you should come here, right? ”
Wensu King Xie Chengyi touched his beard, and did not directly confront Bai Qingfeng, but turned to Xiao Qingyun: "Emperor Qian, my country has always been a gentleman, I don't know what the rules of your country are?" We have come all the way to come for you, and if your country doubts our sincerity, we will not talk about the matter of Jiayuguan. ”
Xiao Qingyun had a straight face, and his voice was not loud, but everyone present heard it clearly: "I am the Son of Heaven, and I will naturally count what I promise." King Wensu and peace of mind is. ”
Xie Chengyizhi smiled proudly: "The Emperor is really a happy person. Tomorrow, we will send Princess Ning Mi into the palace, and hope that the two countries will be friendly for generations. ”
Bai Qingfeng was about to jump again when he heard this, but now that the woman was not present, he spoke even more without scruples: "Your Majesty, Princess Ning Mi has passed the age of Huaxin, but she has never been married, isn't it too suspicious?" Who knows if there's anything wrong with her? ”
"Dingwang! What credentials do you have to slander Princess Ningmi?! Xie Chengyi responded angrily. He glared at Bai Qingfeng fiercely, and then turned to ask Xiao Qingyun: "Emperor Qian, before King Ding, he repeatedly found fault with my country's princess in the main hall. Xiao Wang specially explained that his father loves the princess, and her appearance is too outstanding, and she can be matched by extraordinary people, so she only stayed for two more years, why is this also a sin? ! Xiao Wang must seek justice for the royal sister today! ”
Bai Qingfeng immediately retorted: "Two more years? How did you stay at such an age? The old Zhu Huang was sent to Qianguo. She risked her identity to blend in with the cadre army back then, what was she trying to do? If you want people to know, you can't do it unless you do. Does King Wensu really think that the past is all gone? "Hundred plating" The latest chapter of "Chongqian Queen's Biography of the Claw Book House" is free to read for the first time.
