Chapter 361: The Incident, the Colorful Sacrifice
Pray from the Buddha hall, this time everyone did not get on the sedan chair, all followed the three princesses to another royal small ancestral hall and waited, the road was very quiet, turned a few intersections, and came to a small ancestral hall in front of the palace.
Slightly different from the ancestral hall in ordinary homes, this place is more grand, although it is a small royal ancestral hall, the momentum has already reflected the royal decency.
came to the door of the palace, but did not enter immediately, the ten ladies of the family were divided into two sides, each standing five people, the fourth princess did not know when she also appeared at the door, followed by the third princess each standing on one side.
The third princess is the main lord today, so she is dressed in a special gorgeous, a xia veil, a bright gold thread embroidered with a phoenix-like pattern, the belt is red and golden, and the hanging sachet is a golden tassel, which is shining between walking, and the posture is more and more graceful.
The pink pretty face smiled, and her eyes fell on the fourth princess opposite, the corners of her eyes shrank unconsciously, and she felt a little more unhappy in her heart.
Of course, today's event is with her as the protagonist, but the clothes of the four princesses opposite are not inferior at all, faintly competing with herself, which makes her very uncomfortable, but her face is not showing a bit, and her smile is still gentle and generous.
After standing for a long time, I saw the emperor coming over with the queen, as well as the crown prince and princes.
People on both sides knelt down together and shouted three long live.
In the cheers of everyone, the emperor and the queen entered the main hall, and everyone followed inside, which enshrined the ancestors of the royal family and the mountains and rivers in the center.
The emperor offered incense to Xianzuo and Shanhe Sheji, Wei Yuewu and others knelt down with the three princesses, and then heard the queen mother say lightly: "Get up!" ”
And they all stood up together.
The next ceremony is somewhat similar to the ordinary lady of the family.
The praiser inserted hairpins for the three princesses, tied their hair, Queen Tu and Tu Zhaoyi both sent blessings, each with a gift, the emperor together with the prince, the third prince and the fourth prince also gave gifts, and finally put on a gorgeous dress for the three princesses.
This neon dress looks gorgeous and abnormal, the third princess of the reflection is even more delicate than flowers, the whole person is like a vivid peony flower, beautiful and incomparable, the eyes of the four princesses who can see the side flashed with jealousy, and looked at their eldest brother with a little dissatisfaction, Prince Wen Tianyao, this neon dress, but the only one, now given to Wen Caidie, he is gone.
How willing does this make her! Thinking that her eldest brother was not as close to her own sister as she was to Cai Die, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became.
"Your Majesty, the hour is coming!" Empress Tu saw that the time was about the same, and whispered to the emperor on the side.
The emperor nodded, squinting with a smile, he was still very satisfied with his third daughter, not to mention generous and dignified, he was also quite famous in the harem, and he would never do something arrogant and domineering.
If he was allowed to choose, he felt that he would still choose his third daughter to marry to Yandi, compared to his fourth daughter, the third daughter is very good in any aspect, the only thing is that she was not born to the queen, she was born a little worse, and because of the queen's mother, Tu Zhaoyi's position cannot be promoted too high.
made the third princess inferior to the fourth princess from the root.
However, if Yan Huaijing can take a fancy to his third daughter, the emperor decides that he will still give Yan Di a little more benefits, after all, the third princess seems to be much more capable than his fourth princess, if the next prince of Yan Guo is born from his daughter's belly, that is, with the blood close to the royal family, the emperor still thinks it is very possible to re-plan Yan Di in this way.
With the entire royal family as the backing, as long as you marry the daughter of the royal family, you can't run away from the position of the son of this world, of course, this must also be your own daughter to give birth to a son.
On this point, the emperor is more optimistic about his third daughter.
The sound of the bell and the sound sounded in the hall, the three princesses walked to the big incense burner in the Buddha hall, a monk came over and handed over three branches of incense that was burning, the three princesses took it, respectfully worshiped the big incense burner, and followed the ten family girls behind her, one by one with a solemn look, slowly kneeling down.
The situation was solemn and peaceful.
The third princess stood up straight, the daughter of the family got up, and stood in two rows with their heads bowed, and the fourth princess had already stood behind the queen mother at this time.
In the middle of the main hall, the third princess stood alone with two rows of family girls.
There are two rows of palace maids coming in, each holding a delicate brocade box in their hands, the brocade box carves dragons and phoenixes, and at a glance they know that they are things in the palace, and they walk in front of the three princesses, lined up.
The third princess walked in front of a palace maid, opened the lid of the brocade box, and took out two sets of exquisite clothes from the time.
Seeing the girls of the family who came with them, their eyes widened one by one, and they were envious.
Wei Yuewu stood at the end of the team, her eyes did not fall on the gorgeous dresses, but looked at the ladies in front of her, and found that seeing these two sets of clothes, almost all the girls of the family were a little commotion, and everyone had a love for beauty, even if it was such an occasion, it was difficult to suppress the women's love for beauty.
I want to see it more clearly.
Only Wei Qiufu, who was standing on her left, did not move, as if she didn't care about anything, just waiting for the next process wholeheartedly.
In such a fluctuating situation, he was still so calm, a trace of fierceness flashed in Wei Yuewu's eyes, and sure enough, Wei Qiufu was in the know.
Of course, the two sets of clothes given to him were not Wei Qiufu's, but Wei Qiufu knew that there was a problem......
The third princess put her clothes on the ground, and went to open another brocade box, so she took out two sets of clothes, and saw that there were more and more clothes on the ground, and everyone also saw some attention.
These garments are divided into seven strips, which shall be red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, and purple, and now there are four colors on the earth, and there shall be three colors in the remaining three boxes.
Sure enough, when I saw the third princess take out two sets of cyan clothes
Next came the blue and purple clothes, Wei Yuewu raised her head and quietly looked at the scene in front of her, her clear eyes revealing a cold meaning.
Aren't the two sets of clothes that Wei Qiufu gave her blue and purple!
When the third princess took out the first piece of clothing in the first brocade box, Wei Yuewu had already determined that the materials of those sets of clothes were of the same series, although the styles were different, but that kind of brilliance could be compared with the neon clothes worn by the third princess, which also explained his previous guess.
But looking at the jealous gaze of the fourth princess looking at the neon dress worn by the third princess, she knew that the neon dress on the third princess was probably the only one, but looking at the colorful clothes that were not inferior to the neon clothes on the third princess, the fourth princess showed disdain, only glanced at it, and didn't care.
The sixth box was opened, but the palace maid holding the box knelt down with a "plop" when the third princess's hand stretched out, and shouted in a trembling voice: "The princess spares her life!" ”
This scene was so strange that everyone looked at the kneeling palace maid in amazement, and then another palace maid couldn't stand still and knelt down.
The brocade box held by the two people was almost held in their arms, their faces were pale and trembling.
Tu Zhaoyi's face didn't look good, she looked at Queen Tu standing beside the emperor quietly, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes, but she lowered her head and hid the hatred in her eyes.
Today is the third princess's gift, if anyone else can do anything and make the third princess lose face, Tu Zhaoyi feels that the most likely is Queen Tu, or it may be the fourth princess, but she also clearly knows that there is no room for her own words on such an occasion.
"What's going on?" The emperor was also surprised and asked the queen mother on the side.
Queen Tu's brows furrowed tightly, looking at the scene in the main hall, she waved her hand and called a palace maid to ask her to go over and ask clearly.
The palace maid was ordered to go over.
In the main hall, the three princesses have their eyebrows tightly locked, and their expressions are not very good, and anyone with such a ceremony has an accident and destroys the whole process, they will not be happy.
"What's the matter?" But she has a good self-cultivation, so she just sank her face, but she didn't scold her.
"The third princess, the slave maid...... Two slaves and maids, when they get up in the morning, send ...... Discover the clothes in the box...... One set is missing from each! The two palace maids glanced at each other, and the previous palace maid gritted her teeth and stammered her words.
Missing two sets of clothes?
The palace knew that the three princesses had chosen colorful clothes to worship the mountains and rivers, and the people looked at each other in amazement, they all clearly knew that the clothes looked very good, and the materials seemed to be very beautiful, but it was impossible to really wear them.
Originally, this kind of material was a sacrifice to the sky, or a special material enshrined in the ancestral hall of the gods, which looked beautiful, but it was not practical, and the three princesses used it to make clothes, and they also followed her, but they didn't expect that such clothes would be gone, and the meaning of this was enough to make everyone in the palace look at the ten family girls.
The people in the palace all know that these sets of clothes can't be worn, but the people outside the palace don't know, or even if they know some, they don't know in detail, and they can't say that someone will take those two sets of clothes.
At this time, the queen's maid also arrived, walked up to them, and asked in a deep voice, "When did it happen?" ”
"That's it...... Just this morning, yesterday ...... Yesterday the slaves and maids also saw that there was no shortage of clothes! The other palace maid trembled, with a hint of despair in her eyes, at such a ceremony, they actually lost their clothes, even if the clothes were recovered, the two of them had no physiology.
"It's possible that it was missing yesterday afternoon!" The palace maid pondered for a moment and said, "Did you see any suspicious people yesterday?" ”
A few palace maids holding brocade boxes, you look at me, I look at you, and for a while I can't seem to think of who is suspicious.
"Slave...... The slave and maid remembered, someone ...... Someone is suspicious! A standing palace maid suddenly said something in a low voice, and immediately everyone's eyes fell on her.
In the crowd, Wei Yuewu's gaze also fell on Wei Qiufu's side face, from her angle, you could see a touch of ridicule on the corner of Wei Qiufu's lips, sensing Wei Yuewu's gaze, Wei Qiufu turned her head, the mockery on her face was more obvious, and there was also a trace of vicious pleasure......
