Chapter 46: Sacrifice to the Moon
Because there is no name and special significance for this woman, everyone just simply worships her, and does not worship as extravagantly as the ancestors.
Moreover, there are special regulations on the ancestral teachings, that is, before and after the worship, the palace door must be completely closed, and no one is allowed to enter the second floor of the Moon Palace except for the palace people who are cleaning.
After everyone withdrew from the Moon Palace, Ji Yueqin glanced back at the statue of the woman, and the beautiful statue of the woman looked very lonely in the twilight and dim candlelight.
I don't know if it's Ji Yueqin's illusion, she feels that the woman has a feeling that she doesn't belong to Dayu, and there is a yearning for freedom in her eyes.
The door gradually closed, Ji Yueqin also turned around and stopped looking at the statue, how could she not belong to the one who did not belong to Dayu, maybe it was because of this that she felt the faint longing in the statue.
Ji Yueqin was stunned for a while, Nan Xuanyu looked at her with some concern and said, "Sister Yue is fine, why did she come out of the Flowing Moon Pavilion and look like she couldn't give up?" ”
When Ji Yueqin saw Nan Xuanyu calling herself, she also came back to her senses and said softly: "It's okay, it's a little bit that I didn't sleep well last night." ”
Nan Xuanyu saw that Ji Yueqin didn't want to tell him, and he didn't ask any further, but he was even more worried about her in his heart.
Ji Yueqin knew that Nan Xuanyu was worried about her, so she gave Nan Xuanyu a bright smile, and Nan Xuanyu didn't continue to worry about her when she saw it.
The moon worship could only begin under the light of the moon, so after they exited the Flowing Moon Pavilion, they continued to walk to the top floor of the Moon Palace.
The design of the Moon Palace is also very exquisite, the center of the top floor is a circular lotus platform, and the surrounding of the lotus platform is a pool of clear blue water, which reflects the hazy lotus platform like a fairyland.
Because from ancient times to the present, both the people and the royal family have the custom of "men do not worship the moon", so the emperor and the princes all sat on the seats outside the lotus platform and watched the ceremony.
Ji Yueqin helped the Queen Mother to walk in the front, and the Queen and the concubine followed. In previous years, the queen presided over the moon worship ceremony, but this year is no exception.
When the four of them sat down cross-legged on the lotus platform, the supervisor of the Qin Heavenly Prison shouted, "The weather is fine today, and the full moon can be seen rising at the end of the hour, and it can begin." ”
Now the hour was coming, and everyone sat quietly waiting for the moonrise.
When the time had already arrived, but there was not yet a trace of moonlight shining on the lotus platform, everyone couldn't help but have a trace of suspicion about Qin Tianjian and looked at his location one after another.
But the prisoner didn't seem to notice everyone's gaze, and still sat calmly and calmly with his eyes closed.
With the passage of time, there has been a moment of moonlight but has not yet seen any moonlight poured out, if the moonlight does not appear again, then the next year will be a bad year.
There was a faint hint of cruelty in the queen's eyebrows, and a few days earlier, she sent someone to Qintian to ask the master book, and the moon would not appear today.
In this way, you can sit down that Ji Yueqin is an ominous person, even if she is favored, but as an ominous person, she will definitely plant a thorn in the heart of the Queen Mother, and if she pushes it again, she can take Ji Yueqin at will.
Because the moon hadn't appeared yet, everyone couldn't help but start talking below, and Nan Xuanyu and Nan Xuanjin's hearts couldn't help but sweat for Ji Yueqin. In this deep palace, the more favored anyone is, the easier it is to be targeted, and Ji Yueqin is already on the cusp, so you don't have to think much about it to know that this matter will definitely be unfavorable to Ji Yueqin.
Suddenly, I only heard the master bookkeeper shout: "The full moon is here!" ”
Everyone was startled by the thunderous sound, and they didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.
But strange things also happened, with a loud shout from the master, I saw the dark clouds slowly disperse, and a trace of moonlight shone on Ji Yueqin's body.
This beam of moonlight poured on Ji Yueqin's body impartially, only to see Ji Yueqin's slender eyelashes gently opening and closing, a pair of eyes looking forward to the ethereal, the cheeks slightly with a light flush, and the delicate cherry mouth showed her outstanding demeanor.
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, at this time, Ji Yueqin seemed to be no longer a mortal in the world, but like Fairy Chang'e descending to earth, out of the dust and peerless.
Nan Xuanyu was completely stunned, even Nan Xuanjin, who had always been as beautiful as a woman, was dazzled by Ji Yueqin's beauty, and Nan Xuanjue just looked at Ji Yueqin quietly, although Nan Xuanlin was also amazed, but he only retracted his mind in an instant.
And the emperor looked at Ji Yueqin in a daze, and he seemed to see the woman who looked forward to life again. The queen looked at the beautiful Ji Yueqin, and was also dazzled by her beauty, and then became even more annoyed, this Ji Yueqin is not only not guilty of a crime now, but also makes everyone obsessed with her appearance.
Ji Yueqin is very much like Duan Rou back then, and even her demeanor and temperament are as beautiful and elegant as Duan Rou. But she is different from her mother, she is three points more beautiful than her mother. She is victorious, she is more beautiful than her mother, more quiet.
Everyone was immersed in the appearance of Ji Yueqin, who was like a fairy descending to earth, and the supervisor of the Qin Heavenly Prison shouted again: "The purple qi is coming from the east, this is a sign that the Heavenly Phase Star is descending to earth, although it is the life of the Heavenly Phase Star, but the little county lord will have many twists and turns in the future, but after experiencing it, the Phoenix Nirvana will be reborn." Now that it has passed, when you have thoroughly experienced the ups and downs of life, you will have a smooth life. But the limited place is to meet the peach blossom star, and the feelings are twists and turns. ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard the words of the supervisor, it seems that the origin of this little county lord is not ordinary, the queen is even more angry and crushes a mouthful of silver teeth, originally wanted to see Ji Yueqin being treated as an ominous person, but now how has she become rich and noble? But what is not wrong in this is that I will never let her go in the future, and I will indeed let her live with twists and turns, don't think about living a happy and stable life.
"Then Lord Nangong, is Yueqin's girl's life good or bad." The Queen Mother asked with some doubts, although she didn't mention anything else, she didn't want Ji Yueqin's life to affect the fortunes of the country in her heart.
"The life of the county lord of Anning is naturally conducive to the prosperity of the country, but it is ......" Nangong Meng seemed to be a little unspeakable, and did not continue to speak.
"Just what?" The Queen Mother's heart was hung to her throat, and she stared at Nangong Meng to see what he was going to say next.
"The Queen Mother forgives her sins, Weichen can't talk about it anymore, if she continues to talk about it, it will leak the heavens, and it will damage Weichen's name, I'm afraid it will affect Dayu's national fortune!" Nangong Meng looked at the Queen Mother with blazing eyes.
The Queen Mother was also immediately silent when she heard Nangong Mengyi, and she didn't dare to say too much.
At this moment, the dark clouds in the sky completely dispersed, and the moonlight completely radiated from Ji Yueqin's body to the entire lotus platform, and everyone was overjoyed when they saw this scene.
The next moon sacrifice ceremony officially began, although the queen was dissatisfied with Ji Yueqin's good name, but as the mother of a country, she still had to preside over the whole ceremony in a dignified manner, if she made a mistake, I am afraid that the matter of presiding over the moon sacrifice in the future will fall into the hands of the slut Wang Peilan.
So the queen presided over the whole ceremony with a stiff smile, and the concubine looked at the queen with a slight mockery in the back.
This time the moon sacrifice ended very successfully, not only that, but the main book of Qin Tianjian also calculated Ji Yueqin's life according to the celestial phenomena, which is not bad for Dayu, so the queen mother and the emperor have a bright smile on their faces. Among all the people, except for the queen, I am afraid that everyone feels very happy today.
Tonight's moon sacrifice is over, and the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet will begin tomorrow, the queen mother took Ji Yueqin back to Qianxi Palace, and the princes also returned to their respective palaces.
After the queen returned to Fengxi Palace with people, she began to smash things to vent her anger.
"Damn Nangong Meng, he obviously told this palace that there is no moon today, and this palace is even ready to say something, he is good, he pretended to be a ghost and didn't say anything, and let Ji Yueqin be in the limelight!" The queen's eyes turned red, like an angry lion, ready to devour people at any moment.
"Green Lotus! Let me bring Nangong Meng to Bengong, Bengong wants to ask this Nangong Meng, what does he want to do? After the queen smashed the objects on the table and cabinet, she commanded the green lotus.
Green Lotus didn't want to stay in Fengxi Palace for longer, so he responded and ran towards Qin Tianjian with people quickly.
Today, Duan Zhilan didn't get on the stage, which made the queen uncomfortable, and now she made Ji Yueqin out of the limelight, how could she not hate. Coupled with the fact that she was reprimanded by the emperor in front of everyone today, and Wang Peilan's slut gloating in the back, this Ji Yueqin is simply her disaster star!
"Zhilan, are you ready to present the gift tomorrow?" The queen suppressed her anger and said softly to Duan Zhilan.
Duan Zhilan saw that the queen was angry, and her heart was so frightened that she didn't even dare to come out, and when she saw the queen asking herself, she was a little nervous and said: "Back to the queen's mother, Zhilan is ready." ”
The queen felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Duan Zhilan's cowardly appearance, but the Duan family now only has Duan Zhilan as a woman of appropriate age, and she is the daughter of her eldest brother, so she, who is an aunt, has to help her well no matter what.
So she had to say patiently: "Zhilan, don't be afraid, my aunt won't harm you." Today, you can also see how much Yu'er cares about that Ji Yueqin, you have to work harder, don't let the fox from the big beam hook Yu'er's soul! ”
When Duan Zhilan heard what the queen said, the fire of jealousy was about to erupt from her eyes, only to hear her grit her teeth and say, "Auntie, don't worry, Zhilan will definitely make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince change his mind!" ”
