Chapter 15 and the Rites
True and false, false and false, no one in the entire Three Kings Mansion slept tonight. And Concubine Li in the palace couldn't sleep anymore. The feeling of fear strengthened her conviction that the child must still be alive.
Concubine Li knew that the old lady was back, but it was already the second half of the night. She still hasn't seen it, is it because the emperor also knows that he is ready to do it to himself. The people who were in fear suddenly saw an old woman in her fifties walk in, and the evil aura carried by the old woman directly dispelled a lot of the dull atmosphere in the room.
"Mama Zhang, you're finally back. Concubine Li wanted to cry very much, but her voice was dumb and unable to speak. Jiang Yan, who was hidden on the eaves, snorted softly: "Concubine Li, your good day is coming to an end." ”
Then his body disappeared into the night in a flash, and the next moment the guards who were guarding Concubine Li's bedroom flew up. After checking it again, he shook his head, jumped down and waved his hand: "Didn't find it!" But what the guard thought was, even if he found me again, wouldn't he dare to say it?
Everyone knows that in the current empire, the emperor's most favored princes are the crown prince and the third prince. Now that Concubine Li has become like this again, no one cares about him. The guards who had just flown up to the eaves to inspect still left without saying a word. Just when leaving, he commanded: "If there is anything urgent that can be fireworks, we will rush over as soon as possible." ”
Mama Zhang sent away the people who should be sent away, and then returned to Concubine Li's dormitory in a low voice. When she saw Concubine Li, she knelt down: "Niangniang, I'm sorry, that child was indeed alive back then." I went to dig up the empty grave on the edge of the Fen River. ”
Concubine Li couldn't hold back and started crying, and Mama Zhang immediately covered her master's sin: "Niangniang, you must not cry, if those people are spread to the emperor's ears." We're all going to lose our heads. ”
Concubine Li seemed to have figured out a lot of things tonight, that is, she listened to Mama Zhang's advice, and finally said to Mama Zhang frantically: "Do you think the emperor doesn't know? Hmph, in fact, he knew everything in the year that Concubine Min entered the palace." If it weren't for the fear of this Xiyue country, I wouldn't have let you and me live until now. ”
Mama Zhang was stupid for a moment, and went directly to the floor without taking a breath for a long time.
No matter how much I didn't want to see the day, it was still dawning. Today's imperial capital city seems to be calm and photographable, without a trace of wind. The sun didn't scorch the earth as it had been a few days ago, and the hawkers were still shouting in the bustling streets in the early morning. This is the prosperous world, that is, Su Lan stopped her father-in-law from watching the beautiful fireworks on the street. I don't know how happy I am, the treatment that the divine beast gave to Xiang Gong yesterday untied Xiang Gong's heart knot. That night, Su Lan finally really became a woman, and today she is full of enthusiasm and unrestrained. It's no longer the resentful woman who only screamed back then.
Xiaoqiang just finished the flavor snack handed over by Su Lan and said, "Su Lan, the time is almost up." We can't afford to lose time, today is the birthday of the Holy Maiden. If you miss it, you can't get into the main venue, grandpa will be angry. ”
Su Lan looked at the time with a good-looking brow, and there was really not much time left for annoyance. So he stomped his feet, all in the little daughter's mentality: "Okay, okay! Let's go." ”
The two of them were eating and walking, just walking around a corner. was blocked by a veiled girl.
"It's you!"
The girl smiled: "Follow me, follow me to complete an important task." ”
The husband and wife, you look at me, I look at you, and finally left with the girl in front of you. It's just that he didn't take a few steps, and Xiao Qiang didn't understand: "Isn't it the courtesy of Her Royal Highness the Princess today? Why did she take us out of the city?"
On the main street of the Three Princes' Mansion, it was jammed with carriages that came to congratulate early in the morning. The carriage of the Yin family in the imperial capital came a little late, and it was directly blocked outside the two streets. Liu Yunni snorted at her mother with a cold face: "Mother, why are you so inked today." Our carriage can't get in at all, so we have to walk?"
Mrs. Liu still doesn't want to get out of the car, not because she dragged her daughter back, but because she didn't want to see her old master.
"If I hadn't left my master so early, there would have been no such rights and wrongs. ”
"Mother!" Liu Yunni stepped forward and dragged her mother out of the carriage and said to her, "I met Aunt Lan two days ago, and she asked me to greet my mother? ”
The mother and daughter walked forward with the little maids behind them, and saw that someone at the gate was arguing with the guards guarding the door. walked in and returned cash, where was Shen Qianbi shouting. said that she was also the sister of Princess Qianfeng, why couldn't she go in.
The guard was not frightened by the little girl, so he said, "The princess really didn't say that you can't enter, but you have to explain it." Who do you represent when you come in? Now there is no Zhenguo General's Mansion, and Mrs. Protector has not recognized your daughter. ”
This means that if you want to go to the princess's mansion, he can't stop you. If you want to enter the Three Kings' Mansion, you must have a backstage. And this backstage must have a certain amount of power.
Qiuyue, the maid beside her, tugged on her young lady's sleeve and said with a smile: "Let's wait here for the second prince to come, and when the second prince comes, that person won't dare to stop us." ”
Liu Yunni's voice came from the crowd behind: "Yes, if your mother and daughter were kind to Her Royal Highness the princess back then." Then there will be no time for today's embarrassment. After speaking, he took his mother and relatives and walked a few steps quickly, and handed the gift to the official who received the gift at the door. Then he gave the invitation of himself and his mother to the guards guarding the door.
The guard bowed respectfully: "Mrs. Liu, Miss Liu, please come in!"
In the bedroom of Tingtao Pavilion, Shen Qianfeng still looked a little listless. Let Chunying be a little puzzled, obviously she had slept for a day yesterday. Why is there still some poor spirit today, according to the rules of the Qingyuan Empire. On the day of the ceremony, the girl can only use a headband to comb her hair. Sit in the boudoir and wait for the elders to comb their hair and haircuts before going out to meet their friends and family.
Accepting the blessings of relatives and friends is the real completion of the coming-of-age ceremony. There was still an hour before the appointed time, and Shen Qianfeng's stomach had already begun to protest. Chun Ying, who was almost watching herself, said with smart black eyes that stood to the side, almost watching her: "Sister Chunying, can't you really eat something first?" I'm about to faint from hunger!"
Shen Qianfeng was begging Chun Ying if she could get something to eat first, if she really couldn't. She also had a bottle of Bigu Dan in her storage bag, although the pill was a little unpalatable. But it can also fill my stomach, and I really envy my mother and aunt that they don't have to eat.
"No, my princess. Just bear with me. Chun Ying was also muttering quietly: "What kind of rule is this, fortunately I am not a lady." Otherwise, I would have been tortured to death by this rule. ”
An hour is not long, and Shen Qianfeng still didn't hold back and secretly gave himself a Bigu Dan. Looking at Chun Ying beside him with a smile, he secretly said in his heart that he was not a monk. You can't go hungry.
Finally, the time came, and the door to the bedroom opened. The person who came in was not the queen mother, but Situ Lan, Shen Qianfeng's only mother in this world.
Looking at the same girl as her daughter, Situ Lan was secretly surprised in her heart. If she had known that this daughter was fake, she would probably have seen the wrong person.
Chun Ying saw Situ Lan and knelt down directly and saluted: "See General Situ!"
The Three Princes' Mansion was originally a palace established with military merits, and he also admired Situ Lan, who was also a general. Chunying didn't call Mrs. Situ but called out to the general, showing more respect for her person.
"Get up!" Situ Lan walked behind her daughter and instructed the people below, "Time is running out, let's start now!"
The little maid put the tools for combing her hair on the tray and knelt to the side. Situ Lan's hands were as thin as bones, as if they had long been decarbonized and replaced. There is no longer the same feeling as the hands of the female generals who were so powerful on the battlefield back then.
Warm palms wrapped around the hair. Soon, a Feiyun Immortal Bun was completed, and Shen Qianfeng was surprised that the ancient headdress was so beautiful. Situ Lan's voice sounded in his ears: "It's time for us to go out, don't show your feet." ”
The voice of the girl in front of her suddenly appeared in Situ Lan's mind: "Don't worry, the only difference between me and your daughter is that I don't have the ability to invoke the power of heaven and earth. The rest is that the gods in the sky can't be seen when they come. ”
The place where Princess Qianfeng received everyone's blessings was the largest courtyard in the Three Kings' Mansion. If it weren't for the fact that time was too anxious, Jiang Qi felt that he could do just right.
Emotions that don't belong to you are flowing in your body, and you can't suppress them no matter what. So he sat alone and drank, waiting for the most important person of the day to appear. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at his younger brother from a distance, and he didn't have the slightest idea of going up to speak. After the scandal, the prince still got the holy decree and announced it to the public. Now Shen Qianxue is standing by her side as the crown princess.
"Your Highness, today's three princes seem to be a little different. "Since the beginning of the experience, Shen Qianxue's heart is completely like a change. Now that Ling, who has realized the girl's tenderness like water, has fully realized the power of her entire body to the man around her.
The surrounding ministers have already begun to point fingers, saying how noble and skillful the original Shen family lady was. Now like a prostitute, I am afraid that I will not be able to live a day without a man.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was angry, but he didn't dare to directly refute Shen Qianxue's face. Just try your best to suppress your anger and talk to the officials who came up to greet you.
Shen Qianbi still waited for the second prince, and now she is sitting in the guest seat on the side. Next to her was Qin Mian, a girl from the Qin family, under the repeated coercion of the second prince. Qin Mian is still this little girl who is a sister, and now Shen Qianbi is proud.
Looking closer, Qin Mian, who was sitting next to him, said, "I really didn't expect that Shen Qianxue would become such a shameless woman. ”
People will always change, since it is inevitable to live under the same roof with this person in the future. Of course, Qin Mian wouldn't be unable to get along with his future fate, and he also gave her a smile when he thought of this: "You'd better stay away from this person, now he is a tiger." Don't forget, your father was responsible for his mother's death. ”
Shen Qianbi's heart chuckled: "Could it be that Daddy's death, yes, Shen Qianxue did it." She approached Qin Mian a little closer, and said with great compliments: "Sister, do you have any news? If my father's death has something to do with Shen Qianxue." Can the second sister spare this woman?"
"Your second sister will definitely think about it all, I guess the time has not come!"
The two people here are chatting like water and fire, and the lively and cheerful little princess over there has squeezed out of the crowd. also did it next to his third brother, and directly snatched the wine glass from Jiang Qi's hand.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Isn't today a happy day?" Jiang Cui looked around and muttered, "When did my mother lie to people, and said that she was a good person?"
"There must be a reason why they don't come, wait a while and you will follow your sister Qianqian. No matter what happens, don't mess around. Do you understand?" After Jiang Qi finished speaking, he stretched out his finger and scraped the bridge of his sister's beautiful nose.
At this moment, the little princess's heart became even more lively, and she said with a smile: "Third brother, everyone is about to die." I can't let my brother be spoiled like this. After speaking, he stood up and ran away, but before he could take a step, he heard his brother say to him: "Remember what I just said, no matter what happens, don't leave your sister Feng's side." ”
It is true that none of the people of the Situ family have appeared, and it is not that there is no one without the little princess and Situ Lan, isn't it one of them?
Above the Imperial Capital, a huge flying boat was hidden under the clouds. On the platform splint of the flying boat, Shangguan Minglan was arranging the formation, so he saved the final process.
Situ Tiangang stood in the place where the needle method was affected, and from time to time he injected spiritual energy into the huge rotating graphics and texts circling in the sky. Soon, the huge picture and text faded, and it was not until it completely disappeared that Situ Tiangang withdrew his hand.
"Madame, we have used so much force this time. Isn't that a bit of a fuss?"
Shangguan Minglan said: "No, it's definitely not a big fuss. You've seen your apprentice's injuries, as well as the elixir that can demonize people. Our opponent is setting up a game, ready to kill the future Emperor Star today, what is the consequence of not having a future Emperor Star?"
"You're saying that someone wants His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to sit in the Emperor's seat forever. ”
