Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

While the noble ladies were resting in the bedroom, in the palace, the emperor knew that the empress had led all the concubines to the Temple of Heaven to pray for blessings, and his complexion suddenly became ugly.

In this way, how could he sneak into the fasting palace through the secret passage, and spend the spring breeze with Jiang Changning?
The queen mother also said: "She is right, the mother of a country should be responsible for herself."

The emperor couldn't tell the empress dowager about his dirty thoughts, so he could only go back to Qinzheng Hall to read the papers in frustration.

At the beginning of noon, the ladies were summoned to the main hall of the fasting palace.

The queen was sitting in the middle, with concubines on the left and right sides. Jiang Changning saw Zhuang Qingyan standing far behind.

Zhuang Qingyan, who was wearing a plain palace dress with ginger yellow, was as gloomy as a potato, without a trace of vitality.

Jiang Changning also saw Lu Xiuju. The dark green palace dress made her palm-sized face look yellowish.

"Before worshiping heaven, you must fast for three days. From now on, wear vegetarian clothes, eat vegetarian food, burn incense and write prayers, ten prayers per person per day," said the queen.

In this way, it happened that the ninth day of the first lunar month was Tiangong Day, so it was logical to offer sacrifices to Tiangong and pray for blessings from Tiangong.

Tiangong is the Jade Emperor, the highest god who dominates the Three Realms, the highest god who commands the gods of the ten directions inside and outside the Three Realms and all spirits in the world, representing the supreme heaven.

The emperor called the Son of Heaven, and to put it bluntly, he recognized the Jade Emperor as his father.

During a year, there are several times of offering sacrifices to the heavens, but the winter solstice is the most solemn and revered one.

Whether it is official worship to heaven or folk worship to ancestors, they all express the simple desire to pray to heaven for good weather and good food and clothing.

All the noble ladies bowed their bodies and said, "I would like to obey your mother's orders."

Vegetarian food can be roughly divided into four categories: Buddhist Su, Dao Su, Gong Su and Min Su.

Fosu is a vegetarian restaurant in temples, which emphasizes lightness in nature, skillful and convenient.

Dao Su pays attention to yin and yang and five elements, purity and truth.

Palace Su, is to entrust meat, elegance and wealth.

Min Su, mostly seasonal wild vegetables, simple and unpretentious.

Looking at the gorgeous bonsai-like vegetarian dishes on the table, Jiang Changning was reluctant to put down his chopsticks, unwilling to spoil the beauty.

"Xiao Ning, why don't you eat it? The vegetarian food made by the royal chef in the palace tastes very good. Come and try it." Prince De's princess said in a low voice.

Jiang Changning smiled, and took a spoon to scoop up the tofu inlaid with flowers.

Although there are hundreds of flowers in the name of the tofu with hundreds of flowers, there are no flowers in the dish, but the tofu is made into the shape of flowers.

The tofu is tender and delicate, without any beany smell.

Even if it is a vegetarian dish, the materials used in the court are more particular than the other three vegetarian dishes.

Stone ear vegetarian fish ball soup, the soup is clear, soft and fragrant.

Obviously no fish is used, but it has the taste of fish.

Jiang Changning was quite satisfied with this vegetarian meal, and he didn't have any resistance to eating the vegetarian meal for three consecutive days.

Back in the west bedroom, Jiang Changning went back to the left room to take a nap, but as soon as she lay down, she heard Zhao Xifang in the outer hall, telling the servant girl loudly, "You should use old sandalwood for copying scriptures."

"Go get some snow water."

"Use pine smoke ink, which is thicker."

"Wait until the snow melts before grinding."

Zhao Xifang kept talking, making Jiang Changning unable to fall asleep at all.

"Princess, she did it on purpose." Fu Cui rolled up her sleeves and was about to rush out to tear people apart.

"Stop." Jiang Changning sat up.

Fu Cui is a maidservant, so she will be at a disadvantage if she faces Zhao Xifang.

Jiang Changning put on his outer clothes and went out, "To sing an opera on the stage, you have to be clean and ugly. Princess Yu is very capable, and she can sing an opera by herself."

Being called by Jiang Changning as a low-level actor, Zhao Xifang said angrily: "People who grow up dependent on others are really uneducated."

"If you're upbringing like Princess Yu who yells like this, then it's better not to be educated." Jiang Changning sneered, "This is the sacrificial palace, not the Palace of Prince Yu. It's better for Princess Yu to restrain herself and stop bragging. Yes, it looks too unsteady, and it will make people question Wenhe county head."

As for what to question, there is no need to say it clearly, they are all smart people, and they are obedient.

"Princess Jin, don't bully people too much." Zhao Xifang said angrily.

"The one who flirts first is cheap." Jiang Changning would involve Shang Wen and the county magistrate, and it was Zhao Xifang who first said that she cared.

The death of both parents is a sad thing that she does not want to be mentioned.

"Prince Yu and Concubine Ningxia are like half-sisters, going crazy, they are exactly the same." Jiang Changning continued to mock.

"Being cursed by Song Yirou pointing her nose, she didn't dare to speak out, and ran to show off her prestige in front of this princess. Princess Yu is so powerful, why is she using the Jin Palace as a soft persimmon?"

"Sorry, I was just in a hurry to copy the prayer, so I disturbed you." Zhao Xifang suddenly returned to a polite manner.

Jiang Changning was stunned for a moment, is the Prince Jin's Mansion so useful?
Zhao Xifang silently walked back to the table, picked up a pen, and began to copy the prayer.

She stopped making trouble, and Jiang Changning was not the kind of person who insisted on it, so he turned around and went back to the room to take a nap.

Half an hour later, Jiang Changning took a nap.

Seeing the ruddy and gorgeous Jiang Changning, Zhao Xifang's eyes flashed with jealousy.

Only a woman who is loved by her husband can have such a delicate appearance.

How can a helpless orphan girl be loved by her husband?

"There is only one table here." Zhao Xifang said.

Jiang Changning looked at the table that she occupied most of, and said with a faint smile, "I'm generous, I'll let you have the table, and I'll copy the same on the long table."

Zhao Xifang pursed her lips, thinking that she could hear Jiang Changning say some soft words to beg her.

But he didn't want to, Jiang Changning's mind was moving so fast.

Shu Fei and Fu Cui moved all the decorations on the long table to another place, fetched water, and wiped the long table, "Princess, it's done."

Jiang Changning washed his hands first, then burned incense, sat on the long table, and copied scriptures.

"Ceremony of returning to fate: the Supreme Mira is supreme. There is a mystical real realm, and the faint purple gold que Jade Emperor is the Great Heavenly Venerable. The Xuanqiong is a high god"

Those who offer sacrifices to the Jade Emperor must write it clearly at the beginning of the scriptures.

The ninth day of the lunar month is Tiangong Day, which is the birthday of the Jade Emperor, and I have to write a congratulations: The Jade Emperor is big, the sky is high, God's life is boundless, and I hope that God will be merciful to the common people, and spread the light of God to illuminate the Dharma world. Holy, generally speaking.

Pray for the peace of the family and the country, pray for the safety of life and overcome disasters, sweep away all ominous things, smash the iron to surround the mountains, and drain the bitter seas; break the great hell, pull out the sins and sufferings; bring down the demons, and protect the land.

Pray to God to release the seventeen lights of supernatural powers, get rid of all serious diseases, remove all evil poisons, leave all evil people, destroy all evil beasts, destroy all evil ways, and make all the heavens subdue.

The words are not too many, but it will take a lot of time to copy it word for word ten times.

Jiang Changning copied more than half an hour after Zhao Xifang, but both of them finished writing at the same time.

"Hey" Jiang Changning chuckled.

"Why are you laughing?" Zhao Xifang asked angrily.

"Princess Yu is in charge of the sky and the earth, and she can make people laugh. She really has the ability." Jiang Changning said, picked up the copied prayer, lifted his legs and walked out.

Zhao Xifang clenched her fists tightly, then loosened them, picked up the scriptures she had copied, and followed them out expressionlessly.
