Chapter 199
Originally, Chu Jin was unwilling to attend Zhao Sijin's Empress Ceremony. When she became empress, she knew how tiring Zhaodu's cumbersome rules were, and Youdu has always been famous for its etiquette. Isn't this empress ceremony More tedious and cumbersome than when she was queen?
But Jiang Mubai went to look for Xuan Jue, hoping that he would give him a good face.

When Chu Jin was made queen in the past, Jiang Mubai went to watch the ceremony.In terms of love and reason, courtesy and reciprocity, the emperor Xuan Jue and the queen Chu Jin should both attend Zhao Sijin's empress ceremony.

So Xuan Jue spent a long time acting coquettishly and fooling around before coaxing Chu Jin into agreeing to the matter.

On the day after Zhao Sijin was born, the sky was different and not peaceful.

Thick and dark clouds passed by, swirling with strong wind and snow, densely blocking the road in front of you.

More than half of the snow had fallen, and hailstones the size of gravel fell, beating the altar behind Zhao Sijin into a mess.

The Empress Liberation Ceremony was originally held in the wide courtyard outside the Candle Yin Hall, so it was temporarily changed to be held inside the hall.

The Candle Yin Hall is not small, but it is difficult to accommodate so many ministers to watch the ceremony. The ceremony officer had to arrange officials from the third rank and above to enter the hall, and the rest of the officials paid homage to Zhao Sijin outside the hall.

Xuan Jue and Chu Jin stood in the place where Tang next time Yu Jiangmu's white dragon chair was. At the moment, there was no one sitting on the dragon chair.

At the post-establishment ceremony, the emperor should have been present earlier than all the officials, and Jiang Mubai, who has always followed the rules, has not been seen today, which is indeed a bit abnormal.

Zhao Sijin was standing in the middle of the hall with a phoenix crown, a scarlet gold hipa hanging from her forehead to cover her face, no one could see her expression clearly at this time, but Chu Jin could clearly see that she was naturally side by side with her body The hands on both sides are clenching secretly.

"Your Majesty, the hour is approaching, why isn't Jiang Mubai coming?"

Xuan Jue didn't know, he shook his head and said, "Maybe there are some political affairs?"

Chu Jin smiled, "All the courtiers are here, what kind of political affairs can he have?"

Outside the hall, the sound of ceremonies and music sounded as expected, and the grand ceremony kicked off, but today's protagonist is missing one person.

The auspicious time could not be delayed, and the palace people gradually became agitated, looking for Jiang Mubai up and down the palace in a swarm, but returned to no avail.

The officer of ceremonies walked to Zhao Sijin's side, and said in a low voice with distressed expression: "Youhou, the auspicious time has come, and the emperor does not know where he is. Look here"

Zhao Sijin gritted her teeth, and said in a cold tone, "What to do, what to do."

The Empress Dowager Ceremony has been in preparation for more than a month, if it doesn't go well today, next month's New Year's Eve, and next month's Beginning of Spring, will not be suitable for marriage for three consecutive months.

Waiting for the next auspicious time, the heir in Zhao Sijin's womb is already more than five months old, and when the time comes, his lower abdomen will protrude, how can he wear the lottery and remarry?

The officials of ceremonies carried out the process of the ceremony one by one. In addition to the sound of kneeling and prostrating from the courtiers, the whole hall was full of discussions.

What a big event is the Empress Dowager Ceremony?If Jiang Mubai didn't come, leaving Zhao Sijin alone to go through the cumbersome procedures, wouldn't that mean slapping Zhao Sijin in the face in public?
The discussion was very shallow, but all the words hit Zhao Sijin's heart.

She heard some people say that Jiang Mubai didn't come because he couldn't let go of it; It is because of Zhao Sijin's embarrassment that he is the emperor's heir that he reluctantly gave her the second place. This can be said.

Zhao Sijin thought that she had completely let go of her obsession with that man.

But now her heart was in pain like a knife, but she couldn't find the reason.

Tears welled up in her eyelashes, almost soaking the masked Xipa.

But she can't cry, she can't lose face in front of courtiers in Youdu.

The coldness of people's hearts sometimes does not lie in how people who have nothing to do with you talk about you behind your back, but more because people who have been favored by you want to point fingers at you and utter obscenities.

Whether it was when I lived in Youdu, or later entered Dazhao and became a secret work.Zhao Sijin asked herself that she had never felt sorry for the people and subjects of Youdu, but now she occasionally heard the uproarious discussions among the people, and she really heard the grandiose ridicule and jokes of the courtiers today.

She didn't understand why these people never thought of her well, but instead regarded her as a laughing stock after dinner.

She didn't even understand why Jiang Mubai pushed her into such an embarrassing situation, making her life a joke.

The ceremonial officer gave Jiang Mubai the treasure of Zhao Sijin Youhou. After the ceremony, all the ministers knelt down and bowed, shouting: "Youhou is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

Zhao Sijin took off the hipa covering his forehead and threw it into the crowd.

She watched those people kowtow, get up, and kowtow again. These shadows one after another made Zhao Sijin feel sick.

Xuan Jue and Chu Jin stepped forward to congratulate her on her new happiness, she managed to force out a blunt smile, and without returning to the two of them, she left the Candle Yin Palace and entered the snowstorm.

She walked very fast, and because of the wind and snow blinding her eyes, when the palace servants followed her out, she was already invisible.

Apart from the Candle Yin Hall, Jiang Mubai usually lives in the auxiliary hall behind the Chaohua Hall.

Zhao Sijin rushed all the way on the wind, thinking that Feng Guanxia would be a burden on her body, she took off her clothes while walking, and threw the expensive court clothes, jewelry, and gold crown all over the floor.

In the awe-inspiring wind and snow, she took off her coat and walked in only thin plain underwear.

The cold air made her face turn pale, but her lips, which had been painted with lip balm, were still as bright red as blood.

After entering Chaohua Hall, the sound of broken jade wares came from the side hall.

Zhao Sijin pushed the door hard, but the door was locked from the inside.

She kicked on the door again and again, she knew that Jiang Mubai was fixed inside, and there was definitely not only Jiang Mubai inside.

She didn't say a word, just spitting at the wooden door.When the wooden door was about to be broken by her, the door opened.

Jiang Mubai stood in front of the door solemnly, "Jin'er? It's icy and snowy, why are you dressed like this?"

"Who's inside?" Zhao Sijin's tone was colder than the biting wind.

Jiang Mubai shook his head, "No one." But his body blocked the door firmly, not giving Zhao Sijin the slightest chance to enter.

Zhao Sijin pushed him hard, and hit Jiang Mubai with all his strength, and ran all the way into the house.

"Gu said that there is no one, why are you crazy!?"

Jiang Mubai pulled Zhao Sijin, but she was slapped back and slapped him.

The supporting hall of Chaohua Palace is not big, and it can almost be described by the words "clear at a glance".

Zhao Sijin looked around, except for the messy beds like a battlefield, there was nothing unusual about the side hall.

The Ling window was locked from the inside, and the only exit was the one when she entered, which proved that Jiang Mubai was the only one in the room just now.

Jiang Mubai forced himself to be calm and said: "Jin'er, Gu was too happy to drink too much last night, it's not right for him to delay his business today. Don't be angry."

Zhao Sijin leaned close to Jiang Mubai's side, she couldn't smell a trace of alcohol, but only a faint fragrance of plum.

She didn't want to have another word with this man.

She looked disheartened, and looked at Jiang Mubai with hatred in her brows. Regardless of his earnest explanation, she turned and walked towards the wind and snow again.
