Volume 1 The Lady of Heaven Chapter 042 Silkworm Ceremony

Zheng Jimai couldn't move anymore, and his heart was annoyed.

She is too busy these days, and her mind is either in the long-term two rates, or in Fengju and Taifu Mansion, she doesn't know that the white horse has passed through the gap, and it will be March.

In March, for the harem, there is a big event, that is, the silkworm ceremony.

The so-called pro-silkworm ceremony, is the queen led a group of concubines to worship the silkworm god ancestor, picking mulberry and feeding silkworms, mainly to persuade the class of agricultural mulberry, has always been a major event of the royal family.

The Dade Dynasty has been established for many years, and the silkworm ceremony has been quite perfect, and there are fixed norms for all etiquette.

Once a year, like the four o'clock of the year, I have experienced it too many times, and I am too familiar with it, I just need to do it step by step and follow the established ritual.

Zheng Ji will forget about it, not only because he is busy, but also because he is too familiar.

After all, compared to such a major event as leaving the palace and opening the mansion, the silkworm ceremony, which happened in March, was naturally forgotten by her.

However, in the previous life, this pro-silkworm ceremony was extraordinary!

It affected many people in the court, especially the harem concubines, and many people lost their lives because of this silkworm ceremony.

However, this time the silkworm ceremony did not affect the mother and her.

There is no danger of her life, which is one of the reasons why she forgot about this year's silkworm ceremony

But......

How so? When it is long enough, you will find that what was ordinary at that time has actually brewed many waves underneath, and many turmoil since then have been caused by this ordinary event.

In the previous life, because of the changes in the palace banquet, she was confined in the Mingguang Palace by her father, and the mother concubine was also neglected, even if the mother concubine was the honor of the noble concubine, she did not participate in the silkworm ceremony.

The world is really blessed, and the mother concubine did not participate in the silkworm ceremony, but escaped the catastrophe.

At that time, she was relieved when she heard what happened at the silkworm ceremony in the bright light, and she was glad for it.

At that time, she didn't know anything, she was too young, she had too little experience, and she didn't understand that some twists and turns would not appear at that time, but only came out later.

It's not just her, but everyone didn't expect that everyone is so familiar with the silkworm ceremony that they can't be familiar anymore, there will be such a big thing?

Regarding the accident of the silkworm ceremony in her previous life, she couldn't tell her mother, so she could only knock on the side.

So, she settled down and asked Jiang Guifei: "Mother, is this year's silkworm ceremony still presided over by the queen?" ”

"Of course it's the queen presiding, who else can there be besides her?" Jiang Guifei smiled.

Although Empress Xue lives in a simple house and is not liked by the emperor, after all, she is the master of the harem, who else can preside over the silkworm ceremony besides her?

Of course, it doesn't have to be a queen.

During the reign of Emperor Wai of the previous dynasty, he asked his favorite concubine Gu Tanhua to kiss silkworms instead of the queen, and the result was ......

A bad omen fell from the sky, and in the end, the previous dynasty was gone.

Yin Jian was in front, so the emperors of the Dade Dynasty remembered this lesson and did not dare to let anyone other than the queen preside over the silkworm ceremony.

It's just that there is no beginning and no end, and the Dade Dynasty also had emperors who let their favorite concubines preside over the silkworm ceremony, although they did not destroy the country like the previous dynasty, but the dynasty also continued to suffer, and it was a faint monarch and the like.

Although the emperor doted on her, he was not so pampered that he was willing to risk destroying the country and becoming a faint king for her.

Besides, even if the emperor ordered her to preside over the silkworm ceremony, she would definitely not want to!

She didn't want to be scolded by Du Tong's people, she had been scolded too much now.

Listening to Jiang Guifei's answer, Zheng Ji was silent.

Yes, of course, the silkworm ceremony was presided over by Empress Xue, and it was also like this in the previous life.

However, who would have thought that Queen Xue, who had presided over the silkworm ceremony for five years, and Queen Xue, who was extremely familiar with all the etiquette processes, would have an accident at the silkworm ceremony?

The reason why this year's silkworm kissing ceremony is extraordinary is because Queen Xue had an accident when she kissed silkworms!

Empress Xue, as the queen of the current dynasty, is the mother of the world, and her accident at the silkworm ceremony is too significant.

Zheng Ji still remembered that after the news of Empress Xue's accident came back to the palace, the entire harem was shaken.

Especially when the unconscious Empress Xue was carried back to Kunning, the palace maids didn't even dare to breathe.

The father was even more furious and ordered Feng Chenwei to investigate the matter thoroughly.

The so-called Son of Heaven is angry and ambushes millions of corpses, and in the end, this silkworm ceremony will affect so many people.

Because she was grounded at that time, she didn't see the situation outside with her own eyes, and she would only be arrogant, and her mother didn't tell her the details of the matter.

She only knew that the reason why the silkworm ceremony had an accident was related to Concubine Tao Xian!

Concubine Tao Xian made hands and feet on Empress Xue's silkworm's bow clothes and applied a layer of drugs harmful to the spring silkworms, causing Queen Xue to poison all the spring silkworms in the process of kissing the silkworms.

Empress Xue also fell into a coma because of these poisons, and if it wasn't for the timely arrival of the imperial doctor, I am afraid that she would not even be able to save her life.

not only destroyed the silkworm ceremony, but also murdered the queen of a country, the nature of this matter is too bad, if it is not handled well, maybe it will implicate the father.

So Feng Chenwei went to investigate, and finally found out to Concubine Tao Xian.

Aunt Yueyuan, who was beside Concubine Tao Xian, confessed that she was instructed by Concubine Tao Xian to use the power of the Tao family to coerce and lure the silkworm supervisor and make a trick on her bow.

Aunt Yueyuan also confessed that Concubine Tao Xian murdered Empress Xue in order to replace her.

Concubine Tao Xian flatly denied it, called it wronged, and brought out the Tao family as a guarantee.

Tao Xianfei's grandfather, Tao Jingyuan, was the general of the Zhenbei Protectorate, and was extremely influential in the army.

The Tao family even handed over the military power of the Zhenbei Protectorate to appease the anger of his father.

At that time, it was Concubine Tao Xian and the Tao family that had the greatest impact on this matter, and it had nothing to do with the Jiang family and the concubine at all.

However, since then, the Tao family has targeted the mother concubine and the Jiang family everywhere, as if the two families are feuding, and they are simply endless.

The reason why the mother concubine and the Jiang family have suffered many times is also the handiwork of the Tao family behind them, especially the Tao family has been operating in the army for many years, and if they don't make a move, they will hurt the vitality of the Jiang family.

Later, when she was in charge of the Changding Ten Rate, she had doubts about this and went to investigate.

Concubine Tao Xian said that she had never done anything to kiss the silkworm ceremony, and after the Tao family peeled off the cocoon, she knew that Aunt Yueyuan had received the Jiang family's silver, and deliberately deceived and slandered, in order to bring down the Tao family behind Concubine Tao Xian.

The Tao family was forced to hand over the military power, which is equivalent to the destruction of the foundation, so deep hatred, how can the Tao family not retaliate? It's not enough to hate!

It was only at that time that Zheng Ji understood that this silkworm ceremony was not only aimed at Concubine Tao Xian and the Tao family, but also for the mother concubine and the Jiang family!

She lived again, back to before the silkworm ceremony began, and that natural ...... Something to do.
