Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it is customary to worship the ancestors.

Even if it is difficult to travel in heavy snow, this case cannot be broken.

After breakfast, Yu Zheng went to the Taimiao, and after the emperor and the rest of the people arrived, under the leadership of the emperor, they worshiped the royal ancestors together.

Jiang Shu and Yu Lan accompanied Concubine Yu in Zhongling Palace, and when it was close to noon, Yu Zheng came back with a calm face.

"How did you go so long?" Yu Guifei asked.

Yu Zheng took off his clothes and handed it to the palace maid, sat down next to Jiang Shu and said, "There was an accident." ”

"What's wrong?" Yu Lan's expression was abrupt, and Jiang Shu and Yu Guifei also looked at Yu Zheng fixedly.

There was an accident in the worship of the ancestors, but it was a bad omen.

Yu Zheng said in a deep voice: "The incense case collapsed, burning the back of my father's hand."

"Serious?" When Concubine Yu heard this, she was anxious, and she clenched her hands and sat still.

"How so?" Yu Lan also looked worried.

Yu Zheng pursed his lips and said: "Don't worry, concubine, my father was only slightly burned by burning incense, and he has already let the imperial doctor see it." The one who was really seriously injured was the royal brother. ”

"Yu Cheng is also injured?" Yu Lan was shocked.

"Hmm." Yu Zheng nodded and talked about what happened.

The ancestor worship ceremony is the same every year, and everyone has long been familiar with it. At the beginning everything went well, and when it was about to end, the emperor led the people to kneel in front of the incense table.

Because it was about to end, everyone's expressions were relatively relaxed, and no one expected that the incense case would suddenly collapse, and the incense would fall on the back of the emperor's hand, burning blood.

Yu Cheng, who was closest to the emperor, saw the incense case pouring down towards the emperor, and quickly stepped forward to block in front of the emperor.

The heavy incense case smashed straight on Yu Cheng's back, and Yu Cheng fell to the ground on the spot.

In the royal family, if the incense case collapses during the ancestor worship, it is considered to be the ancestral police punishment. Not only can you not hide, but you also have to repent in front of your ancestors and ancestors.

Yu Cheng was sent back to the East Palace, and Yu Zheng and others also followed the emperor to the East Palace.

After being diagnosed and treated by the imperial doctor, Yu Cheng was smashed with a large bruise on his back, and his viscera also suffered minor internal injuries, and he needed to be recuperated for more than a month.

"Then your father ......" Concubine Yu's eyes were full of worry.

Yu Zheng knew that Concubine Yu wanted to visit the emperor, and said in a condensed voice: "After confirming that the imperial brother is fine, my father went to the Taimiao Temple to repent. ”

The temple is a royal place, and women are not allowed to enter.

"Well, your father is afraid that he won't be able to think about anyone at this time, so let him be quiet." Yu Gui dispelled the thought.

Yu Lan said with relief: "Mother concubine doesn't have to worry, my father will come to Zhongling Palace in two days." ”

"Hmm." Concubine Yu stabilized her mind, but she still couldn't avoid worrying in her heart.

Jiang Shu didn't understand the royal twists, and Zhuang Yun was still young, so the two of them listened quietly and didn't interject.

"Mother, lunch is ready." The palace people came in to report.

"Let's go, let's eat." Concubine Yu got up, and a few people went to the dining room.

This kind of thing happened on the first day of the new year, and several people did not have much appetite.

After the meal, Concubine Yu instructed the palace people: "Tell the imperial dining room that since dinner, the palace will be vegetarian for one month." ”

"Yes." The palace people took the order and went.

It's just that Concubine Yu didn't feel that it was enough, and instructed the other palace: "Go and clean up the Buddha room, and the palace will go over to chant the Buddha in a while." ”

She is a harem woman, and there is only so much she can do for the emperor.

"The father is fine, and the mother doesn't have to worry too much." Yu Lan admonished.

Concubine Yu patted Yu Lan's hand and said clearly: "I know, but if I do something, I can feel better." ”

Hearing this, Yu Lan didn't persuade him anymore.

"Okay, last night's vigil, got up early today, you didn't sleep well, go back early and rest."

Concubine Yu looked at Jiang Shu and said with a smile: "Especially you, you must pay extra attention to your body, don't worry about everything, and your heirs are important." ”

"Yes, Erchen wrote it down." Jiang Shu responded solemnly.

I didn't sleep well last night, Jiang Shu was indeed a little tired, went out of the palace and got into the carriage of the palace, and leaned his head on Yu Zheng's shoulder.

"Tired?" Yu Zheng stretched out his hand to hug her.

"Hmm." Jiang Shu stared at him and responded lightly.

Thinking of what happened in the palace today, Jiang Shu asked uneasily: "Is the husband injured?" ”

Yu Zheng was silent.

Jiang Shu sat up suddenly, looked at Yu Zheng and asked urgently, "Where is the injury?" ”

Afraid that she would be too anxious and move the fetus, Yu Zheng hurriedly said: "It's just that she was burned by the incense ash, and it can't be hurt." ”

As he spoke, Yu Zheng stretched out his hot left hand in front of Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu looked carefully, and indeed only saw a large burn on the nail under the back of his hand.

When Fang Cai was in the palace, Yu Zheng kept his hands in his sleeve robe, and the injury was not obvious, so they didn't notice it.

This is just a small injury, it doesn't matter, but Concubine Yu is worried, so Yu Zheng hides it.

But there are some things that can be hidden from Concubine Yu and Yu Lan, but it is difficult to hide from Jiang Shu, who sleeps and eats together.

"But are there any other injuries?" Jiang Shu asked.

Yu Zheng said: "It's gone." ”

"Really?" Jiang Shu questioned.

Yu Zheng was helpless: "If you don't believe it, I'll take off my clothes and check you when I go back." ”

Hearing him say this, Jiang Shu's heart fell back into his stomach.

Holding Yu Zheng's hand lightly and blowing it, Jiang Shu said distressedly: "It hurts." ”

When she used to worship incense, she was also burned by incense ash.

It was an inconspicuous injury, insignificant, but painful.

"Shu'er won't hurt if you blow it." Yu Zheng's tone was relaxed.

The pain is naturally painful, but this pain is not worth mentioning for Yu Zheng.

He was more afraid of her worry than the pain.

Jiang Shu looked at the wound on the back of Yu Zheng's hand, the scalded skin was curled up into gray-black, revealing a small piece of reddish flesh, faintly soaked in blood.

"After returning home, I still have to take medicine and bandage it, so that it can get better quickly."

"Okay, listen to the princess." Yu Zheng obeyed.

Seeing Yu Zheng well-behaved like a child, Jiang Shu couldn't cry or laugh.

After returning home, Jiang Shu asked Fang Nanxing to bring scald painkiller ointment, personally smeared it on Yu Zheng, and wrapped it in cotton cloth.

Mo Yan stared at Jiang Shu's sleepy eyelids, and Yu Zheng said tiredly: "I'm tired, sleep with me for a while."

Jiang Shu will not refuse.

The two slept until it was dark, and when they woke up, dinner was just brought from the kitchen.

I didn't eat a few bites for lunch, and both of them were hungry, so I ate a lot for dinner.

Because of the Chinese New Year, most of the people in the house were released, and only some necessary people were left to wait.

After bathing, Jiang Shu said to Yu Yu: "Don't wait, let's go have a while." ”

As a close maid, she waits on duty almost all year round, and rarely rests. In the past few days of the New Year, they should also be relaxed.

"Thank you, princess." Several people were blessed.

Seeing the clouds chasing the wind and the cold stars under the corridor, Jiang Shu said to Yu Zheng: "Husband, let them rest too." ”

At night, they don't go out, and there are guards on duty in the house, so they don't need their protection every step of the way.

Yu Zheng also had this idea, even if he agreed.

"Thank you, master, princess." A few people who chased the clouds thanked them happily.

After sending them away, the two went into the inner room, where they sat on the soft couch and read and talked.

Tanyu, who got freedom, took Yuyu out of the house to go shopping in the market with great interest.

"Leng Xing, let's go together." Tan Yu warmly invited.

Leng Xing refused without thinking: "Don't go." ”

Tan Yu was stunned: "Then what do you want to do?" ”

Leng Xing yawned: "Sleep." ”

It's rare to be able to sleep well without duty, and she doesn't want to waste it on boring things like shopping and playing.

Seeing that Leng Xing was leaving, he said to the wind: "Shall I invite you to eat and drink?" ”
