Yanmenchun

Chapter 230

As soon as Jiang Lan and Hu Dao left, Qin Jun said to his subordinates: "Go and find out if Shen Tuchan is engaged in Dajin, and who is her fiancé."

He believed that this person had a very close relationship with Shen Tuchan, but the Fifth Young Master didn't have any respect for Princess Tai'an, and his status was definitely not low, and it was obvious that this person had been hiding in the Eastern Capital for a long time. Qin Jun would not target him, but he would It is impossible to be defenseless against him.

The scorching summer is imminent, and the Empress Dowager Qin feels that she is getting older and the scorching heat is unbearable, so she has to go to the palace to escape the heat.

Her idea was vetoed by Yu Wenji as soon as he came to the throne. The queen mother went to the palace shortly after he took the throne. Speaking of which, all the officials and common people would only think that he was unfilial. After all, the queen mother of Qin is not very old and has lived in the harem for dozens Why did he have to leave the palace as soon as he ascended the throne?

After the empress dowager was rejected, she fell ill for a while, and General Qin invited Yu Wenji to go to the Taimiao to worship the late emperor and pray for the queen mother. The Qin family also has the Yushitai, but they all say that offering sacrifices to the Taimiao is a major event, and it needs to be supervised by Qin Tian. For the sake of the emperor.

Yu Wenji didn't want to break up with the Qin family at the moment, and the Queen Mother Qin was still 'ill'. In order to show her filial piety, she made a compromise. Instead of offering sacrifices to the temple, the Qin Tianjian and Taichang Temple held a ceremony for The Queen Mother prays.

As soon as this decree came out, Yushitai stopped talking, and Taichang Temple had no choice but to accept the decree. General Qin did not dare to speak at the court meeting for two days after he was participated in the performance.

This matter seems to have passed like this, so the two parties began to arrange this matter in full swing.

When Shen Tuchan found out, she was sitting in the gazebo with a round fan to fan the wind. She watched Princess Tai'an's maid cut up the fresh honeydew melon face to face, and said with a smile: "Seeing that it is the summer solstice, there will be a land sacrifice ceremony at that time. This is going to be another blessing ceremony, is the Qin family running out of ideas and intending to exhaust Yuwen to death?"

Both Dajin and Dazhou have four festivals, which are spring solstice, summer solstice, autumn solstice and winter solstice, praying for good weather and peace in all seasons.

Princess Tai'an's maid was called Xing, and Shen Tuchan had given her the name. She was given to her by the Empress of Jin. She was loyal, clever, and capable of punching.

She couldn't help but smile when she heard Shen Tuchan's words, put the honeydew melons on small silver plates and distributed them to the two masters, and asked the maids to take the rest.

Princess Tai'an ate two yuan before saying: "What kind of tricks can you do in the blessing ceremony?"

Shen Tuchan didn't move the melon, pointed at Xing with her fan and said, "You analyze it for your empress."

This meant reusing Xing, and Princess Tai'an's expression fell on Xing's face very naturally, obviously agreeing.

Liao Xing knelt on the ground and kowtowed happily. Miss Shentu will definitely return to Dajin to be the princess in the future. If she does well, she will be the first chair next to Princess Taian.

She knelt on the ground and said excitedly: "General Qin didn't directly mention the matter of holding the blessing ceremony, but directly asked the emperor to mention it in such a roundabout way. It must be to do something about the ceremony, in order to avoid suspicion."

Shen Tuchan nodded encouragingly, "Continue talking."

Liao Xing Zheng knelt and said: "Ceremony involves candlelight. If you want to clean it, it will be a fire. Another trick is to destroy the ceremony and attract bad omens, but it is related to the Queen Mother, so they should not do it. "

Shen Tuchan put the round fan on the table, and said with a slight sigh of relief: "The fire is too eye-catching. General Qin fought on the battlefield with a meticulous mind. He probably wouldn't use this trick."

Liao Xing knew Shen Tuchan's ability, she looked at Shen Tuchan with a look of admiration and said: "The Qin family is full of masters, will they send assassins directly?"

Shen Tuchan thought for a while and said: "Probably not, I guess they won't get rid of Yuwenji directly, there will be a buffer, otherwise the emperor dies suddenly, courtiers and clan members will follow the trend and make a mess."

After listening for a while, Princess Tai'an accosted her and said, "If you test the Queen Mother, you will know."

Shen Tuchan and Liao Xing looked at each other, but their concern was confused.

The Empress Dowager Qin didn't know anything about what would happen during the ceremony. In order to avoid suspicion, General Qin didn't tell her at all.

Princess Taian returned disappointed after entering the palace.

Dianyi prepared very quickly, and Yu Wenji also invited several very famous mages.

The ceremony was not held in the palace, but held outside the palace on a high platform for the four sacrifices. The summer solstice festival is approaching, and it will also be held here.

The ceremony is divided into three processes. First, the mages show their magical powers, then the officials worship, and finally Yu Wenji comes to the stage to offer incense.

As the queen, Princess Tai'an will be there to watch the ceremony. Yuwenji is offering incense to all the ministers. During this step, Princess Tai'an, who is the queen, will also kneel down. Only Yuwenji stands alone during the ceremony. with.

Shen Tuchan thought about it, and she felt that General Qin would definitely mess with this step.

It was a sunny day in Dianyi, it had just rained yesterday, and the sun was not so harsh in the early morning.

When Shen Tuchan helped Princess Taian pass by, all the officials gave way one after another, Princess Taian turned her head to Shentuchan and said: "Look, how powerful you are, don't you have the same ambition as me?"

These words are actually a little tentative, Jiang Lan is headstrong and unworthy of wanting the throne, but Shen Tuchan may not be unworthy of wanting to be the queen.

Shen Tuchan glanced at the altar in the distance, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, power is like five stones scattered, it is something addictive, but rather than being the head of concubines, I would rather monopolize King Yan."

Princess Tai'an wanted to laugh when she heard that, several respected clan wives came over to salute, she had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.

At the beginning of the ceremony, General Qin stood among the officials in official uniform. He was a military general, but he was clean. Although his complexion was darkened by the scorching sun on the battlefield, he looked like an ordinary man wearing elegant robes. Civil servants have no killing spirit.

Qin Jun was also in the team. He looked at Princess Tai'an from a distance, and then at Yu Wenji with almost stern eyes. When Shen Tuchan met his gaze, he couldn't help but be taken aback. know what.

Hundreds of officials paid homage with great momentum. This was not like an ordinary ceremony of praying for blessings, but rather like a grand ceremony, with the state of offering sacrifices for the four seasons.

Shen Tuchan was still holding the round fan in her hand, this time she didn't move any hands or feet, she was completely a bystander.

She was standing next to Princess Tai'an, occasionally peeping at Princess Tai'an, she felt nervous when she met her gaze.

At the end of the worship of all the officials, the great mage presented the high incense to Yuwenji. Yuwenji took the incense and lit it on the candle. In the incense cauldron, and then all the officials worshiped three times, and the ceremony was considered complete.

At this time, people's eyes were dazzled by the sun, and all the officials secretly wiped their sweat while the Dianyi officials were not paying attention. Even Princess Tai'an and the clan wives stood in the shade and sweated profusely.

They all waited for Yuwenji to insert the incense, and everyone bowed and left here quickly.

Shen Tuchan and Liao Xing looked at each other, the Qin family must have messed with this step.
