Chapter 46 ancestor worship
Yu Ci was stunned for a moment, then quietly closed her eyes.

Her lips were a little cold, she did not respond or refuse, she just pursed her lips lightly.Jianjun felt like he was kissing a snowman.

Obviously everything is about him.Obviously did so much for him.Obviously pampering him so much... Obviously he should like him a little...

Jianjun felt sour in his heart, and his nose was a little tight.

He let go of Yuci, lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Zhen, I have nothing to do... I still have notes to approve..."

He hoped that Yuci would keep him to some extent, so he waited quietly, refusing to say anything further.

Yu Ci paused for a while, then said, "Well... let's go then."

Jian Jun sniffed, a little sad, but more unwilling.He really wanted to knock Miu Ci unconscious and carry him away...of course he didn't dare.He glanced around and saw the sleeve stove that Yu Ci had used earlier on the table, so he went over to pick it up and hugged it in his arms, saying: "I will come to see the queen later."

Yu Ci said, "That's—"

Jian Jun was afraid of being taken back by her, so he hurriedly raised his feet and ran away, "Come back, I will give the queen another better one later."

Yu Ci looked at his back speechlessly - the one he took away was originally given to her by him.

The winter solstice is approaching, and the Ministry of Rites is busy preparing for sacrifices in the southern suburbs, and Jian Jun will not be idle any longer.In the fat winter and thin years, the two days of worshiping the heaven and the ancestors are very grand.Fasting begins on the sixth day of November and lasts for ten days.During this period, I meditate and abstain from addiction, do not drink alcohol, do not eat meat, and do not sleep with wives and concubines.Naturally, I can't see the concubine.

When the First Empress was here, the Southern Suburb Jitian Empress would accompany her there.But after the first queen was buried, there were no more women in the winter solstice festival.Therefore, Yu Ci only looked at the list of sacrifices and the blessings presented by the Ministry of Rites, and it was barely a matter of preparing for the ancestor worship.

On the [-]th, Jianjun went to the southern suburbs to give a fast.

Obviously even if he was there, Yu Ci didn't see him every moment.But after he left for three days, Miu Ci suddenly felt that there was nothing else to do.

——It was as if the reason why she was here was all to see Jun.

November [-], the day of the winter solstice, snow fell again.

The snow fell in bursts.When it is tense, the sky is full of fluff and feathers, and the sky and the earth are all white; when it is sparse, there are only occasional bursts of white dust, and even the dense clouds break open and the sun shines down.But it didn't stop all day.

The road that had been cleared was quickly covered again.Under the thick white snow covered by glazed tiles, there is almost no color in the entire imperial city.The sky is gray and black, and the silence is light like an ink painting.

Yu Ci pulled the fragile leaves of Phoenix Bamboo, seeing that the snow on them was a foot thick, she couldn't help feeling a little worried.

It was snowing so heavily, and Jian Jun had to stand on the altar for half a day, reciting sacrificial rites, not knowing how he would freeze.He always loves to be brave, even if he can't hold on, he will definitely not say it.

And those ministers would never take the initiative to feel sorry for the emperor.

She felt uneasy, and seeing that Xue was showing signs of stopping, she simply put on a cloak and went to talk to Lin Xiuyi.

It was almost evening, and the sky had already darkened, so Ah Ling ordered someone to carry the palace lantern to follow her out.

When the sky and the earth are the same color, the world looks especially empty and vast.Yu Ci looked around, only to see the palace to the south standing alone and solemnly, while the rest of the walls were all in harmony with the sky and the earth, crawling low.

The snow is heavy, and the carved windows outside the hall are slightly lower.Because the lights were not lit, it was only dark when I looked in.When the wind blew, the scarlet cloaks of the imperial forest guards around the palace bulged up and flew flying.

All the stars go to the north, that is Jianjun's future.It turned out to be such a heavy and lonely fate.

This time, Yu Ci was in a daze for a little longer.The snow particles scratched her face a little, and the down on the hood on her head was frozen stiff.

Seeing her silently looking in the direction of Deokshou Hall, A-Ling said with a smile: "The Emperor will be back tomorrow. Your Majesty is going to meet him, how about wearing that dress?"

Yu Ci knew that she had misunderstood, but she had no intention of defending herself, she just smiled and said, "It's all good."

To the east, you enter the inner room.The inner rooms are mostly exquisite courtyards, the flowers and trees in the snowy backyard are exquisite, and the branches are full of pear blossoms.Layers of white cover the past, the more obvious the layers are, and the white space is exquisite.

When passing by Lin Xiuyi's courtyard, Ah Ling wanted to inform her, but Yu Ci stopped her - she just wanted to go and look at the flowers and plants quietly, if Lin Xiuyi knew she was coming, she would have to accompany her.Lin Xiuyi is pregnant, so it's not easy to be tired.

It really is a plum blossom.What bloomed was a tree of goose-yellow weeping plums, not as strong and cold as red plums in full bloom, but with soft flowers and delicate stamens adorned on the low-hanging branches like willow ribbons, covered with cold snow and fragrant.

In the Zhaorong Pavilion facing the front yard.The orange light slanted over, just like the so-called sparse shadows and slanting, dark fragrance floating.

Yu Ci liked it in her heart, so she stepped forward on the snow.

She faintly heard voices coming from the window, but she didn't pay attention at first.

When he heard the other side say "...when it really hurts people, whole walnuts can be poisoned...", he stopped quietly.

That voice is Pinger.

Ping'er was pulling Lin Xiuyi to talk, when she suddenly heard the door being pushed open with a "squeak" and then saw Yuci strode in from behind the screen.

She wore a scarlet felt cloak, the hood was lined with white fox fur, her black hair was like satin, and her lips were painted with red, just like a Ming concubine chanting in a poem.Inadvertently aroused Pinger's heart of comparison.

Seeing Lin Xiuyi lying on the bed, Yu Ci was taken aback for a moment, then stopped in her tracks.He took off the cloak and threw it to Abi who was chasing after him, and then walked around the screen.

Ping'er had already stood up to salute, but Yu Ci glanced at her and let her kneel down.He stepped forward and pressed Lin Xiuyi, saying: "You lie down, there is no need to be formal."

Lin Xiuyi glanced at Ping'er, but Concubine Cili ignored her, she just sat down beside her and said, "I'm not feeling well yet? Have you announced the imperial physician?"

Lin Xiuyi coughed a little, and said with a smile: "I have a bit of cold. I dare not take medicine indiscriminately even if I am healthy, so I didn't announce the imperial physician."

Xie Ci said: "Don't be hasty, let the imperial physician take a look, it doesn't seem to be necessary to take medicine, there is always a cure."

Lin Xiuyi nodded with a smile, and said, "Recently, I vomited so badly in the morning that I couldn't eat anything. Ping'er taught me a recipe, making porridge with apples and sour plums. I tried it, and I could swallow it gone."

Xie Ci was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Ping'er, seeing her bowing her head and kneeling silently, without any excuse or resentment, but she became more and more delicate and soft, and I felt pity for her.If he hadn't been so prepared for her earlier, Yu Ci almost thought that he had wronged her.

She really lost her temper this time.She doesn't care whether Ping'er is targeting her - why should she care?But Lin Xiuyi was so sick that she didn't even dare to eat at one point, and finally she was able to eat some whole shelled food, but Ping'er said that these were not safe, didn't she force Lin Xiuyi to death?
So she came in without waiting for Abi's notification, and really wanted to slap Ping'er right away and throw her to Ye Tingsi for a year or so.

But at this moment, he calmed down, thinking about the fact that he had sent someone to investigate, and finally suppressed his anger.

What's more, Lin Xiuyi is still pregnant, so she can't fight in front of her.Then he said, "Get up.

Lin Xiuyi's heart disease seems to have finally healed, and she ate a lot.Only then did Yu Ci's anger towards Ping'er really dissipate.Seeing that Lin Xiuyi was tired, she got up and said goodbye.

Lin Xiuyi ordered Abi to find a glass bulb western oil lamp to light, handed it to A Ling, and said: "There is snow on the road, be careful to support your mother so that you don't fall. This lamp is brighter than others, you should carry it to guide the way. "

Yu Ci had already left the door, Ah Ling looked out and said with a smile: "The empress and the empress are like a family."

She thought that Lin Xiuyi would say "we are a family", but Lin Xiuyi pursed her lips and said with a smile: "If she is a man, I will marry her."

Ah Ling shuddered for no reason, smiled and saluted Lin Xiuyi, and went after Yu Ci.

After Yuci left the yard, Lin Xiuyi held her heart, held on to the window sill and vomited.

The second day was a rare sunny day.Jianjun will also return to the palace from the southern suburbs.

It snowed all day and all night, and the entire imperial city was covered in plain silver, shining brightly against the sun, like a palace in heaven.

The palace people who got up early had already swept out the way.The bluestone pavement is not very obvious in the snow, and it has been past the Yudai Bridge to the side of the Jinshui River, where the black mud is exposed.

When Jianjun walked away, there was a mighty guard of honor, but he walked slowly and solemnly.When they came back, the flags were waving and the drums were playing.The sacrifice to heaven was completed, and the people all over the city gathered on both sides of the royal road to watch the ceremony.This road is the most prosperous area in Bianjing, with restaurants and shops lined up on both sides, and it is also bustling with people on weekdays, but on this day when you enter the city from Zhouqiao, you will see crowds of people.

Yu Ci led the palace people to wait inside the Suzaku Gate. Hearing the sound of elegant music in the distance and the din of people; I don't know if I'm inside or outside the wall.

The music gradually approached, and the noise gradually died down.When the rainbow came into sight, the crowds on both sides bowed down in the snow like a tide.

The chariot also appeared in the field of vision along with the guard of honor.

But the most conspicuous one is not Jian Jun who is sitting upright in the black twelfth chapter uniform in the carriage.

——On both sides of the chariot, in the imperial army serving the left and right, Yuan Jun and the foreign prince from the prairie each straddled a glossy black horse, dressed in black military uniform with a white background, with a scarlet cloak behind them in front of the wind, fresh clothes angry Ma, just as a teenager, amazed the eyes of the whole city.
