Because there is no name or special meaning for this woman, everyone just paid her a simple visit, and did not pay lavishly like paying homage to their ancestors.
In addition, there are special regulations in the ancestral teachings, that is, before and after worship, the palace gate must be completely closed, and no one is allowed to enter the second floor of the Moon Palace except the cleaning palace staff.
After everyone left the Moon Palace, Ji Yueqin looked back at the statue of the woman. In the twilight and dim candlelight, the expression of the beautiful statue of the woman was very lonely.
She didn't know if it was Ji Yueqin's illusion. She felt that the woman didn't belong to Da Yu, and there was a yearning for freedom in her eyes.
The door gradually closed, and Ji Yueqin also turned around and stopped looking at the statue. Is she not one of Da Yu's? Perhaps that's why she felt the faint longing in the statue.
Ji Yueqin was stunned for a while, and Nan Xuanyu looked at her with some worry and said, "Is little sister Yue all right? Why does she look so restless after coming out of Liuyue Pavilion?"
When Ji Yueqin saw Nan Xuanyu calling her, she also came back to her senses and said warmly, "It's okay, maybe I didn't sleep well last night."
Seeing that Ji Yueqin didn't want to tell him, Nan Xuanyu didn't continue to ask, but he was even more worried about her in his heart.
Ji Yueqin knew that Nan Xuanyu was worried about herself, so she gave Nan Xuanyu a bright smile, and Nan Xuanyu stopped worrying about her when she saw it.
The sacrifice to the moon can only be started under the illumination of the moonlight, so after they exited the Liuyue Pavilion, they continued to walk to the top floor of the Moon Palace.
The Moon Palace is also very ingeniously designed. In the center of the top floor is a circular lotus platform. The lotus platform is surrounded by a pool of clear water, which makes the lotus platform look like a fairyland.
Since ancient times, both the folk and the royal family have had the custom of "men do not worship the moon", so the emperor and all the princes sat on the seats outside the lotus dais and watched the ceremony.
Ji Yueqin supported the Queen Mother and walked in the front, while the Queen and Concubine followed closely behind. In previous years, the queen presided over the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the moon, and this year was no exception.
When the four of them sat cross-legged on the lotus platform, the supervisor of Qin Tianjian shouted loudly: "The weather is fine today, and the full moon will be seen rising at the hour, so we can start."
There is still a moment before the hour, and everyone will sit quietly and wait for the moon to rise.
When the time of the hour had already arrived, but there was not a trace of moonlight shining on the lotus platform, everyone couldn't help but have a little doubt about Qin Tianjian, and they all looked at his location.
But the prison guard didn't seem to notice everyone's eyes, and he still sat there calmly and closed his eyes.
With the passage of time, it has been an hour and a half, but no moonlight has been seen yet. If the moonlight does not appear again, it will mean that next year will be a bad year.
There was a faint hint of viciousness on the queen's brows. A few days ago, she sent someone to Qin Tianjian to ask the master bookkeeper. If there is no moon today, it will not appear.
In this way, it can be established that Ji Yueqin is an ominous person. Even if she is favored again, as an ominous person, she will definitely plant a thorn in the Queen Mother's heart. Qin arbitrarily took it.
Because the moon had not yet appeared, everyone couldn't help but start talking about it, and Nan Xuanyu and Nan Xuanjin couldn't help but sweat for Ji Yueqin. In this deep palace, the more favored someone is, the easier it is to be targeted, and since Ji Yueqin is already on the cusp of the storm, you don't need to think too much to know that this matter will definitely be detrimental to Ji Yueqin.
Suddenly, the chief clerk shouted: "Yingyuexian!"
Everyone was startled by the thunder-like sound, and they didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd.
But a strange thing happened. With a loud shout from the master, he saw the dark clouds slowly dissipate, and a trace of moonlight shone on Ji Yueqin's body.
This beam of moonlight poured on Ji Yueqin's body impartially, only to see Ji Yueqin's slender eyelashes gently opening and closing, a pair of eyes full of hope and ethereal, and a slight blush on the cheeks, charming and lustful. The dripping cherry mouth makes her beautiful.
Everyone couldn't help but stare in a daze. At this time, Ji Yueqin seemed to be no longer a mortal in the world, but like Fairy Chang'e, who came out of the world and became peerless.
Nan Xuanyu was completely fascinated. Even Nan Xuanjin, who has always been beautiful as a woman, was blinded by Ji Yueqin's beauty, while Nan Xuanjue just looked at Ji Yueqin quietly, Nan Xuanlin Although he was also amazed, he regained his senses in just an instant.
And the emperor looked at Ji Yueqin in a daze, and he seemed to have seen the woman who looked forward to her life back then. The queen looked at the beautiful Ji Yueqin, but she was also blinded by her beauty, and immediately became even more annoyed. Not only was Ji Yueqin not charged with the crime now, but everyone was obsessed with her appearance.
Ji Yueqin is very similar to Duan Rou back then, even her demeanor and temperament are as beautiful and elegant as Duan Rou. But she is different from her own mother, she is more beautiful than her mother. She wins because she is more beautiful and quieter than her mother.
Everyone was immersed in the appearance of Ji Yueqin, who was like a fairy coming down to earth, and suddenly the supervisor of Qin Tianjian shouted again: "Purple air is coming from the east, this is a sign of the heavenly stars coming down to earth, although it is a heavenly phase. The life of a star girl, but the little princess will have many ups and downs in the future, but after experiencing it, the phoenix will be reborn from the ashes. Now that a catastrophe has passed, and once you have thoroughly experienced the ups and downs of life, your life will be smooth. When I meet the peach blossom star, my emotions are ups and downs."
Everyone was stunned when they heard Jianzheng's words. It seems that this little county master's background is not ordinary. The queen bit her silver teeth even more angrily. She originally wanted to see Ji Yueqin being treated as an ominous person, but what happened now? Become rich? But what's not wrong here is that I will never let her go in the future, it will indeed make her life twists and turns, don't delusionally live a happy and stable life.
"Then Lord Nangong, is this girl Yueqin's fate good or bad?" The Queen Mother asked with some doubts. Although she didn't mention anything else, she didn't want Ji Yueqin's fate to affect the country's fortune.
"The fate of the Anning County Master is naturally beneficial to the prosperity of the country, but..." Nangong Meng seemed to be a little unspeakable, and did not continue to speak.
"Just what?" The Queen Mother's heart was hung in her throat, and she stared at Nangong Meng eagerly to see what he was going to say next.
"The Empress Dowager forgives my sins, and Wei Chen can't say any more. If you continue, it will reveal the secrets of the heavens. It's enough to damage Wei Chen's name. I'm afraid it will affect Da Yu's national fortune!" Nangong Meng looked at the Queen Mother with bright eyes. road.
When the queen mother heard what Nangong Meng said, she immediately fell silent, and did not dare to say too much.
At this moment, the dark clouds in the sky were completely dispersed, and the moonlight completely radiated from Ji Yueqin's body to the whole lotus platform. Everyone was overjoyed when they saw this scene. Next year will be another year of good weather and rain. Bless the crops in the fields. Not being affected by disasters, plus what Nangong Meng said, made everyone happy.
The next ceremony of sacrificing the moon officially began. Although the queen was dissatisfied with Ji Yueqin's reputation, but as the mother of a country, she still had to preside over the entire ceremony dignifiedly. I'm afraid that in the future, the matter of presiding over the worship of the moon will fall into the hands of that slut Wang Peilan.
So the queen presided over the entire ceremony with a stiff smile, and the imperial concubine looked at the queen with a slightly mocking look from behind.
This time the sacrifice to the moon ended very successfully. Not only that, the head book of Qin Tianjian also calculated Ji Yueqin's fate according to the astronomical phenomenon. This is not bad for Da Yu, so the faces of the empress dowager and the emperor are all With a bright smile. Except for the Queen, everyone seems to be very happy today.
Tonight's sacrifice to the moon is over, and the Mid-Autumn Festival feast will begin tomorrow. The Queen Mother took Ji Yueqin back to the Qianxi Palace, and all the princes also returned to their respective palaces.
After the queen brought people back to Fengxi Palace, she began to smash things to vent her anger.
"Damn Nangong Meng, I clearly told Ben Gong that there is no moon today, and Ben Gong has even prepared a speech. When he arrives, he pretends to be a fool and doesn't say anything, and even makes Ji Yueqin out of the limelight!" The queen's eyes Become red, like a raging lion, ready to devour people.
"Lvhe! Bring someone to bring Nangong Meng to Ben Gong. Ben Gong has to ask this Nangong Meng, what exactly does he want to do?" After the queen smashed the objects on the table and cabinet, she moved towards Green Lotus ordered.
Lu He didn't want to stay in Fengxi Palace any longer, so he complied and ran to Qin Tianjian with a quick walk.
The fact that Duan Zhilan didn't get on the stage today has already made the queen uncomfortable, and now Ji Yueqin is out of the limelight, how can she not hate it. Coupled with the fact that she was reprimanded by the emperor in front of everyone today, and Wang Peilan's appearance of gloating in the back, this Ji Yueqin is simply her disaster!
"Zhilan, are you ready to present a gift tomorrow?" The queen said warmly to Duan Zhilan, suppressing her anger.
"Duan Zhilan got angry when she saw the queen, and she was so frightened that she didn't even dare to let out the air. Seeing the queen asking herself, she became a little nervous and said: "If you go back to the queen, Zhilan is ready. "
The queen felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Duan Zhilan's cowardly appearance, but the Duan family was now only a woman of proper age like Duan Zhilan, and she was also the daughter of her eldest brother. She, as an aunt, had to help her no matter what.
So she had to patiently say: "Don't be afraid of Zhilan, my aunt won't hurt you. You saw today how much Yu'er cares about that Ji Yueqin, you have to work harder, don't Let the Hu Meizi from the big beam hook Yu'er's soul!"
When Duan Zhilan heard the Queen's words, jealousy burst out of her eyes, she just gritted her teeth and said, "Don't worry, Aunt, Zhilan will definitely make His Highness the Prince change his mind!"
