Before Xiao Chengjun could react, there was already a warm body in his arms, flexible and slender, with a faint fragrance of grass and trees, His Highness the Crown Prince froze instantly. Search: \(¨¨¨¨¨) Watch fine literature for free

The crown prince's gown is made of fine silk, very soft. Lou Jing put her face on his shoulders, wrapped her arms around the narrow waist of His Highness the crown prince, and yawned: "You and I are married, honor and disgrace Together, it doesn't matter if I suffer some losses, His Highness will just give me some compensation from time to time."

Compensation, is this compensation...? Xiao Chengjun lowered his head and looked at the beautiful person in his arms. He would naturally be willing to give such compensation. Responding softly, "Okay", His Royal Highness slowly raised his froze arms and hugged the person hanging on him.

Lou Jing smiled and buried her face in Xiao Chengjun's shoulder, and closed her eyes in peace. He had to enjoy a cushion like the Crown Prince's, which he couldn't ask for even a thousand dollars.

For a while, only the sound of horseshoes and wheels crushing sand and soil remained in the chariot. Xiao Chengjun slowly relaxed, carefully avoiding the wound on Lou Jing's back, and pulled him into his arms to make him more comfortable. This person is already married to me, not just a courtier. As a husband, I should respect and love him. It is really wrong to implicate him in being wronged by him and complaining about him. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince reviewed himself in his heart and decided to treat the Crown Princess better in the future.

After traveling for half an hour, the chariot stopped, and Anshun whispered outside the curtain: "Your Highness, the Taimiao is here."

"Well," Xiao Chengjun responded, and did not let the curtain be opened, but shook the sleeping guy in his arms, "Zhuoyu, wake up."

Lou Jing was having a sweet dream, dreaming that her mother steamed a bunny bun that was half the height of a person, and said, "Jing'er, let this make you a pillow." He couldn't sleep well, so he could only hold the big steamed bun in his arms tightly so that the shock would be lighter.

"Wake up quickly." His Highness the Crown Prince helplessly looked at the person who was swaying and hugging him tighter and tighter, so he could only pinch his face with his free hand. Unexpectedly, that fluffy head rubbed against his shoulder socket, softly soft itchy...

"Hmm..." Lou Jing reluctantly rubbed on the big steamed bun, opened her eyes, and saw that his big steamed bun had turned into Xiao Chengjun.

The two of them stared at each other, and were stunned for a moment.

"Your Highness, the Habayashi Army has already lined up." Anshun urged again.

Immediately separated and sat down, Xiao Chengjun coughed lightly and asked Anshun to close the curtain.

The Taimiao is located in the eastern suburbs and occupies a large area.

Entering the main gate, there is a rather wide flat land, with a carved dragon royal road leading directly to the main hall in the middle, and Yulin troops lined up on both sides, standing solemnly with bronze halberds. The bells and drums sounded together, and the music was melodious. There were hundreds of dancers on both sides of the Habayashi Army, dancing in a special rhythm, full of solemnity and sacredness.

The empress walked in front, and Lou Jing and Xiao Chengjun stood on both sides of the empress, each half a step back, while the nobles and officials were behind the guard of honor. Walking mightily to the front of the main hall, there is a man in a complicated dress standing at the foot of the jade steps, waiting for the emperor to stop and kneel down to salute, he is today's priest.

Lou Jing glanced at that person, and couldn't help but be surprised, it turned out to be Shen Lian, the internal servant again! Immediately, there were a few ragged breathing sounds from the civil servant's side, and there was even a subtle cold snort from Xungui.

Ancestor worship in the Taimiao is an extremely solemn matter for the royal family. Since ancient times, the priest must be a civil servant with both virtues and virtues. In ancient times, there was a special official position, but I have never heard of eunuchs as Taimiao priests. For those who don't, this is too child's play.

Lou Jing couldn't help but looked at Xiao Chengjun, His Royal Highness seemed to be feeling something, turned his face slightly to give him a calm look, then closed his eyes again, as if he didn't see anything.

Emperor Chunde naturally knew about it a long time ago, and asked Shen Lian to stand up nonchalantly.

"Your Majesty!" Before Shen Lian could speak, Geng Zhuo, the censor, had strode forward and said on his knees, "Your Majesty, the Taimiao is the place where all the emperors of the Yu Dynasty enshrined. The royal family's ancestral temple, eunuchs must not be officials of ceremonies!"

As soon as the voice fell, the sound of the drum music stopped, and the scene immediately fell silent, and a needle could be heard. Shen Lian didn't change his expression, none of the officials spoke out except Yu Shi, even Xungui turned a deaf ear.

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs also serves as the royal ceremonial officer. Why not?" Emperor Chunde frowned. Shen Lian told him a few days ago that he wanted to be the ceremonial officer of the Taimiao Temple. Like he did something stupid

"Your Majesty! The emperor is the son of heaven, the place where the ancestors of the Xiao family worship, how can eunuchs shout?" Geng Zhuo straightened his neck and shouted hoarsely.

When Shen Lian heard the word "eunuch", his face quickly darkened. Emperor Chunde was also a little bit embarrassed to come down to the stage, could it be possible for Shen Lian to take off his dress after all this time

"Your Majesty, the auspicious time is approaching. Today, the crown prince is going to sue the Taimiao. It is better not to delay the time." Chen Shichang, the minister on the right, came out and said in a deep voice.

Left Prime Minister Zhao Duan glanced at Chen Shichang, lowered his eyes and said nothing.

The right minister's words carry a lot of weight. Emperor Chunde nodded when he heard the words, and was about to go up the jade steps.

"Your Majesty!" Geng Zhuo knelt in front of the jade steps without giving in, "If your Majesty does not change the chief of ceremonies, the minister will not be able to kneel!"

"My lord Geng, don't say it sooner or later, and only say it at this juncture. Isn't this embarrassing the emperor?" Shen Lian sneered.

Hearing the words, Emperor Chunde immediately felt that he was right, snorted coldly and said, "If you want to kneel, then kneel." Said, bypassing Geng Zhuo, directly went up the jade steps, and all the people behind him followed one after another. When the censor is a stone, it goes around like water flowing over a stone.

With a smile, Shen Lian followed the emperor up the jade steps, stood on the high platform of the ceremonial officer's office, and began to sing loudly with his thin voice.

Whoever loses and who wins will be judged.

Lou Jing glanced at the censor who was struck by lightning, and followed the queen up the jade steps with lowered eyes. Although the censor was right, no one argued for him.

All the emperors of the Yu Dynasty since the founding of the country are enshrined in the Taimiao. Whenever there is a sacrifice to the heavens, the ancestral tablets are invited and placed in the front hall for worship.

After the complicated ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, the emperor and empress would also bring the newly married prince and concubine into the inner hall to worship the portraits of the emperors and empresses of all dynasties.

After Taizu and Taizong, starting from Sejong, the queens were all men. Lou Jing knelt down one by one, and found that these portraits of emperors and empresses were all similar, with majestic wrinkles on their faces. Glancing quietly at Xiao Chengjun beside him, the Xiao family members are obviously handsome, and those painters don't know what to think, do they have to be painted old and ugly to have the appearance of an emperor

He didn't dare to say anything else, the late Emperor Ruizong, Lou Jing had seen him when he was a child, and he still had the same demeanor in his sixtieth year, so he was not as old as in the portrait.

Kowtow three times to each ancestor, if it wasn't for the anesthetic, Lou Jing would probably fall down again after these dozen or so kowtows. Knocking on the last one—Emperor Ruizong, Lou Jing felt a little dizzy when she got up, and secretly muttered to herself that if the Xiao family passed on for another hundred years, the emperor would have to be carried out of the Taimiao every year to offer sacrifices to heaven.

When he left, Geng Zhuo was still kneeling on the spot, the sun had already risen to the center, shining on that upright face, it became more and more sharp.

"Your Majesty, the grand ceremony is over, why don't you invite Yushi to get up?" The queen persuaded in a low voice on the jade steps.

It's a rule set by the Taizu. Geng Zhuo knelt like this, and Emperor Chunde couldn't get off the stage. Hearing this, he nodded and waved his hand to ask the chief eunuch Huai Zhong beside him to drag Yushi away. stand up.

Huaizhong went to pull Geng Zhuo with a smile, unexpectedly Geng Zhuogen didn't buy it, shook off Huaizhong's hand, walked a few steps to Emperor Chunde, and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, the ancestral hall of the Taimiao is not child's play! Today, eunuchs are allowed to enter the Taimiao, Tomorrow will be chaotic, Your Majesty!"

"Then what do you do?" Emperor Chunde is really annoyed now, the sacrifice to heaven is over, and this person is still holding on, what is going on

"Your Majesty, please punish Shen Lian for trespassing on the Taimiao!" Geng Zhuo put his head on the ground, as if he would rather die than surrender.

"You..." Emperor Chunde trembled with anger.

Shen Lian came down from the high platform and said unhurriedly: "Did Mr. Geng make a mistake? The emperor is the king of a country. What is your intention in persecuting the emperor like this?"

"Hmph, come, let me drag Geng Zhuo down!" Emperor Chunde flicked his sleeves, and the Yubai army immediately set up Yu Shi and dragged him away.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Geng Zhuo struggled and shouted.

Emperor Chunde turned a deaf ear and walked straight forward. Since ancient times, he has no choice but to kill the Yanguan, but just move it out of the way.

The officials watched Geng Zhuo being dragged away in silence, the queen lowered her eyes, and without saying a word, followed Emperor Chunde into the chariot.

On the way back, Lou Jing and Xiao Chengjun were a little silent. Emperor Chunde became more and more determined to go his own way, he only listened to good words and could not listen to admonitions. Sooner or later, accidents would happen in such a court.

It was already noon when we returned to the East Palace, Xiao Chengjun ordered the meal to be placed in the Hall of Eight Phoenixes, and ate with Lou Jing.

"The royal relatives will come to see you in the afternoon, and you can sleep for a while after lunch." Xiao Chengjun looked at the innocent Lou Jing and said in a warm voice.

Lou Jing nodded. He was mainly hungry. He ate three crystal bags in the morning, drank a small bowl of porridge, and kowtowed at the Taimiao. .

After the meal was set, Lexian and Anshun served the dishes behind them. Lou Jing picked up the chopsticks and ate it. Unexpectedly, as soon as she picked up a piece of fish, it fell back into the bowl with a "click".

Le Xian was startled, and quickly took a cloth towel to wipe him off.

Lou Jing was also stunned, and then remembered that her hands were still numb, chopsticks are such delicate objects, how can they be used

Xiao Chengjun frowned, waved the servants to retreat, and put a spoon into his bowl, "Use this."

Lou Jing looked at the small sweet white porcelain spoon His Royal Highness put in his bowl, the corner of his mouth twitched a little, since he was three years old, he hadn't eaten with a spoon.
