Chapter 45 (2)
Several people were talking and laughing, and it seemed that there had never been a fight just now, although Nan Xuanjue didn't make a sound, but he also kept a shallow smile on the side.
This scene has been engraved in Ji Yueqin's mind for many years, and in the end, when several of them turned against each other, she would still miss this moment, these are all later words.
"It turns out that you are all here, so it is difficult to find the mourning family." The Queen Mother looked at the people in front of her with a smile, this scene of brothers, friends and brothers, made people smile and fill their faces.
"I've seen the Queen Mother." When everyone saw the Queen Mother coming, they immediately saluted the Queen Mother together.
The Queen Mother took Ji Yueqin's hand with some doting and said: "There is no little princess and little princess in the palace, only these children, Yueqin don't be surprised." ”
Ji Yueqin also smiled brightly at the Queen Mother: "The brothers are very good to Yueqin, the Queen Mother doesn't need to worry, Yueqin also likes the brothers." Yueqin has so many brothers for a while, it's too late to be happy, how can she be strange. ”
The Queen Mother smiled and patted her hands and said, "If they bully you, you must tell the mourning family, and the mourning family will teach them a lesson for you." ”
Ji Yueqin took the hand of the Queen Mother and said softly: "Okay, good, it's all according to what Niangniang said." But the Queen Mother said so, how dare the brothers bully Yueqin. ”
"That's it, grandmother supports Sister Yue, even if we borrow a hundred guts, we don't dare to make a mistake!" Nan Xuanjin also came up to make the Queen Mother laugh.
The Queen Mother saw that the two of them were like singing double reeds, and she also thought that these two living treasures were very cute, so she laughed and said: "Okay, okay, you two little living treasures, you know that the mourning family is happy, the sacrifice is about to begin, and we have to pass it quickly." ”
Everyone answered, and set off with the Queen Mother.
Nan Xuanlin glanced at Ji Yueqin deeply, as if he looked at Nan Xuanjue inadvertently, there were some doubts and puzzles in his eyes, but he just lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.
The sacrifice is about to begin, and the emperor has already arrived under the altar early, waiting for the auspicious time to come. There was no one standing on his left hand, but on his right stood a graceful and luxurious woman, who knew without thinking that it was the emperor's wife, the empress.
And Nan Xuanyu and the others also stood in their corresponding positions, and the Queen Mother also took Ji Yueqin to stand on the left side of the emperor.
The queen looked at Ji Yueqin even more angrily, Duan Zhilan couldn't stand on the altar, but she Ji Yueqin could stand on the emperor's left, how could this not make her angry.
So she said to the emperor in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate, the position of the county lord of Anning is one rank higher than that of ordinary princes, how can he stand side by side with the queen mother." ”
The concubine in the right rear of the queen saw the queen make a move, and she couldn't help but ridicule the queen in her heart for being ignorant, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the queen mother was not ordinary to Ji Yueqin, she actually ran to pluck the hair on the tiger's head, and I really didn't know what medicine the queen had taken wrong today.
Sure enough, the Queen Mother began to be displeased when she heard it, only to hear her snort coldly: "Your queen is the master of the harem, and the mourning family can't control the affairs of the harem." But An Ning is not a person in the harem, and she is the grandson of the emperor's mentor, and the mourning family also loves her very much, so the mourning family lets her stand by the side of the mourning family, why not? ”
The queen saw that the queen mother didn't say anything about defending Ji Yueqin, and she was still secretly saying that she was too lenient, although she was angry, she didn't dare to show it on her face, she could only pull out a stiff smile, "Queen Mother, how dare the concubine." It's just that it's really rude to let the little county lord stand here......"
"Enough! The auspicious time is coming, and as a queen, what do you look like now! Or is there too little in your harem, and you are in charge of the queen mother alone? If you want to talk more, you will close the palace and meditate in the future! Suddenly, the emperor shouted angrily and made the queen shut up.
When the queen heard the emperor say this, she didn't dare to say anything more, and said in a low voice with a defeated face: "The concubine knows her mistake." ”
The concubine gloated in the back and watched the queen being reprimanded by the queen mother and the emperor in front, not to mention how happy she was.
The queen felt that all this was because of Ji Yueqin's fault, which caused her to be reprimanded in front of everyone, which made her not hate Ji Yueqin!
The emperor and the queen mother no longer talked about the queen, but only listened to the yin and yang priest singing loudly: "The auspicious time has come!" Clean hands! ”
The palace maids lined up in a neat and orderly manner and brought the jade basins in their hands to the masters in turn.
They then soak their hands in pure water made from wormwood and other ingredients, which is the first step in the ritual.
When everyone had cleaned their hands, they heard the celebrant continue to shout, "Burn incense and worship!" ”
They took the incense presented by the palace maid and went up to worship one by one, and inserted the incense in their hands into a huge copper tripod.
"The sacrifice is complete, retreat!" After a simple sacrifice, everyone withdrew from the first floor of the Moon Palace, but the moon sacrifice was the real big sacrifice, and this time it was just a little sacrifice to this woman.
When it comes to the Yin and Yang Division, this is a department specially set up by the founding emperor, which belongs to the Qin Tianjian and is in charge of ceremonial matters such as sacrifices, weddings, and funerals.
