Chapter 250: The Lively Autumn Society (Second Update)
......The bronze bell rang high, wearing a wide-sleeved dark robe, and the society wearing a dark crown strode up to the altar, high-end sacrificial wine, and said loudly: "The gift of the sacrificial shrine ......"
The sacrificial wine was poured reverently on the ground, and the shrine raised his hands and foreheads, and fell under the sacred tree in a big prostration, and recited the words of thanking God for his blessings, celebrating the harvest, and praying for good weather in the coming year.
For a while, the nobles and people on the square also bowed down together, thanking God for blessing the Tang Dynasty and the people, and wishing for another bumper harvest in the coming year.
After the sacrifice is completed, the shrine is offering rich offerings to the gods, leading the people to bow and worship in a dignified manner, and finally drink all the blessing wine, bury the offerings in the sacrificial pit, and then complete the sacrificial ceremony.
At this time, Princess Anping couldn't bear it anymore, and pulled Gu Mingzhu's eyes to shine: "Is this going to be a god?" I heard the second brother and the third brother say that after the sacrifice to Sheji, it is the god of the race, and that is when it really starts to be lively, but is this? ”
This is the first time she has participated in the Autumn Society, and she used to follow the saint and the queen of heaven to worship the shrine in the palace, even if it was after the Autumn Society, I didn't expect to be able to come here this year to see such a lively community day, where can I still sit still.
Gu Mingzhu smiled and grabbed her: "It's going to be a god, it's just that there are so many people, you better sit here and take a look, don't go in and mess around." ”
Where is Princess Anping willing to follow: "It's so easy to come, these little ladies are going, let's go too, how boring it is to sit here, let's see what the god of race is like." ”
As he spoke, he had already pulled Gu Mingzhu to get up, and was about to reach out to pull Cen Liuniangzi, but Cen Liuniang's smile was a little vain: "It's better for Your Highness to go with Sister Gu, I'm a little uncomfortable today, just sit here and watch the excitement." ”
Princess Anping and Gu Mingzhu both asked with concern: "What's the matter, but if you want to go back to rest, why is your health bad?" ”
Looking at Gu Mingzhu's concerned gaze as before, Cen Liuniang couldn't help but feel a little guilty in her heart, and she was entangled, so she could only smile and say: "It's okay, I think I was tired from accompanying A-Niang to Shangxiang yesterday, just sit down, you don't have to pay attention to me, go and have fun." ”
Gu Mingzhu told her a few words, and then accompanied Princess Anping to get up and go to see the god of competition.
Watching Gu Mingzhu walk away, the smile on Cen Liuniang's face slowly faded, and she sat on the couch with a lonely expression, and said in a low voice for a long time: "Ah Ru, do you say that what Guo Jialan said is true?" His Royal Highness King Chenliu had begged the sage to let Big Sister Gu be Princess Chenliu, but Big Sister Gu didn't want to choose me? ”
The little maid behind her said in a low voice: "The maid listened to Xuanlan in the lady's room, saying that before His Royal Highness the Prince's wedding, His Royal Highness King Chen Liuwang entered the palace to ask for a saint, just because His Royal Highness King Xian also took a fancy to Gu Da...... The county lord of Lingling, so he didn't settle down for a long time, and then somehow he was named the county lord, and he also entered the palace to become Princess Anping's companion. ”
Cen Liuniang's face was even more sad, and she said in a low voice: "But why is Senior Sister Gu unwilling to marry Chen Liu's Mansion?" ”
Although the county lord also has a fiefdom, it is far from the princess, and no one will understand why Gu Mingzhu refuses to let the princess go, but would rather be the county lord.
The little maid thought for a while, and said softly: "I think it's because the identity of His Royal Highness King Chen Liuwang is not as valuable as His Royal Highness King Xian, and the queen of heaven is ...... I'm afraid the county lord is unwilling. ”
Cen Liuniang's smile was very sentimental: "Yes, I heard that Sister Gu was going to marry to King Xian's Mansion as the princess, and she was rewarded by Queen Tian's mother, but later she was proposed by King Gaochang to marry the princess to His Royal Highness King Xian, no wonder the eldest sister was reluctant to marry to Chenliu Palace." ”
The little maid saw that her lady was so sad, and said softly: "Now the saint wants to give marriage to the lady, and the lady will be the princess in the future, and the county lord is not as good as the lady, so she doesn't have that blessing." ”
Cen Liuniang couldn't say what she felt in her heart, originally she was friendly with Gu Mingzhu, Gu Mingzhu could be named the county lord, and she was also happy for Gu Mingzhu, but now she was going to be married to King Chen Liu, but Gu Mingzhu refused to give it to herself.
Just like the day before in the Jade Buddha Temple, Guo Yulan said to her: "...... His Royal Highness King Chen Liu's favorite is Gu Mingzhu, if it weren't for Gu Mingzhu's refusal to marry, how could it fall on you, but you are still happy for her, it's ridiculous......"
Thinking about this, she couldn't stop feeling sad in her heart, and she couldn't open her heart anymore to Gu Mingzhu's sincere care.
The god of racing over there is lively, the sacred tree is carried onto the Baogai float, followed by the drum music and the lion dragon dancers, the drums are noisy, the lion dragon is flying, in the rapid drum beat, people get up and follow the convoy in the town alleys of Linqu singing and dancing.
Princess Anping was already happily following the convoy, looking at the little lady in colorful clothes in front of her and Lang Jun dancing to the beat of the drum, giggling and pulling Gu Mingzhu: "It's really lively, let's go with us, there will be a banquet in a while, I heard that you have to drink Xinfeng wine to come to the Autumn Society." ”
Gu Mingzhu smiled helplessly: "With such a large number of people, the safety of His Royal Highness is important, so it is better to be careful." ”
Although there are many people singing in the Autumn Society, many attendants have already been arranged to protect the nobles, and they are just following the excitement behind the crowd, and they will not be dispersed by the crowd.
It's just that in the crowd, it is inevitable that there will still be some crowding, Gu Mingzhu and Princess Anping were squeezed a few steps apart, and they couldn't squeeze through the crowd anymore to step forward, so they could only follow behind, so that the maids and attendants who were guarding the princess could protect them well.
The tune of "Dou Baicao" is cheerful and relaxed, the people in the square are dancing, and the humming tune is getting louder and louder, Princess Anping has never known these folk tunes, but she listened to them very happily, and couldn't help but come forward to take a look, she turned around and took the hand of the person next to her while walking: "Mingzhu, let's go, let's go to the lively ...... together"
But after only a few steps, she was dragged by the person behind her, and before she could turn back, she only heard a lazy and magnetic man's voice behind her: "This little lady, am I so much like the Lord of Lingling?" ”
Princess Anping turned her head in a daze, saw Cui Yi's helpless handsome face at a glance, looked at her and smiled evilly: "It's just too active, Lang Jun, I'm a little embarrassed." ”
Princess Anping was so frightened that she hurriedly shook off his hand, her face was as red as an apple, and she hurriedly walked away from him, and only after walking away did she drop a sentence: "You look better than the ladies, no wonder I admit my mistake." ”
Cui Yi's originally smug smile instantly turned purple, and he held back for a long time before snorting, it seems that he and this little princess don't agree, so it's better to avoid it in the future.
