Chapter 148 The Sacrificial Disturbance (3)
He forced a smile, but it was uglier than crying.

"It's so ugly!" Mo Lianchen pursed his lips, "Smiles from the heart are beautiful!"

Just like... that time under the swing in the back garden of Xiangfu, that sincere smile, he has been involved in it all his life.

"That's right!" Mo Lianchen looked at her and said softly, "That priest...is very important, so don't make any mistakes. Because...it is related to whether you can be officially recorded in the clan genealogy and become the royal daughter-in-law."

Official members of the royal family are not eligible to enter the genealogy as long as they are married, Yi Jinning really doesn't know this.Mo Lianchen said eloquently, what should be paid attention to during the sacrificial ceremony, those things must be avoided, and you don't need to pay attention to those things when you buy them.

He spoke very seriously, and she listened carefully, and in a flash, time passed.Mo Lianchen talked to Yi Jinning for a full two hours, and he looked at her with a smile, "How much do you remember?"

"I don't remember much, but I should remember it!" Yi Jinning smiled, "Okay, don't act like an aunt, it makes me quite uncomfortable!"

In fact, if he really prepared, Yi Jinning would have to suffer this month.The royal family has strict requirements for choosing a daughter-in-law. Just like the emperor's selection of concubines, the concubines of other royal family members have to be carefully selected, and then study etiquette in the palace for a period of time to see the effect.If you do not learn well or are not satisfactory, you will be disqualified directly.It's just that the procedure for the emperor to choose a concubine is more complicated.

Mo Lianchen sighed softly. If Ning Ning behaved slightly wrong on the day of the sacrifice, he would not be able to enter the genealogy. If Brother Zhang Wucheng or Concubine Yao stood up and deliberately made trouble, then... the consequences would be disastrous.

It's not that he has the ability to predict, but that the Zhang family is too cunning.Ning Ning abolished Zhang Yinjue, they would not let it go.He seemed to be able to see Zhang Wucheng's smug face that day, and calmed down, he told Yi Jinning, "Ningning, you have to be prepared, maybe they will take action!"

Yi Jinning responded lightly and did not speak again.

Half a month passed quickly, and on the day of the sacrifice, Yi Jinning was called up early by the maid.

There is nothing wrong with getting up early, the most annoying thing is to wear that heavy twelve-fold palace dress.Seeing a maid of ceremonies coming with a group of court ladies holding the last few trays, she thought it wasn't just her clothes, but unexpectedly...

Yi Jinning looked bitterly at Mo Lianchen who was standing next to her and smirking, can she not wear it?
Mo Lianchen is "blind", how could he see Yi Jinning's eyes asking for help?

On the contrary, the nuns who waited on her to wash and groom saw her displeasure, and murmured to persuade, "Princess Qing, you are all members of the royal family, and this basic etiquette can't be tolerated. After that, there will be more complicated etiquettes." You have to cry more tired? If you want to wear one less piece, that’s not acceptable. It’s against the rules! This is the basic etiquette you have to abide by as a princess, and we slaves have to abide by it much more than you what!"

After noon, Yi Jinning had a hasty lunch, took Mo Lianchen's arm and helped him up to the high altar.Along with them were other members of the royal family, such as the crown prince, King Xuan, the county king, several adult princes who were not crowned kings, and one of the emperor's elder brothers, Prince Xiao.

After worshiping the gods on the altar, it is formal to enter the ancestral temple to worship the ancestors. Yi Jinning stood under the strong sun for a long time with her head on her head. It was not until the royal family members had worshiped one by one that it was her turn and that of King Qing. .

"The king of Qing, together with his concubine Qing, worshiped the gods..."

Eunuch Liu's drake screamed sharply, which was passed down by other eunuchs on the high altar.Yi Jinning raised his forehead, whoever it was his turn to worship had to notify the officials below, didn't Mo Lianchen tell her?
After worshiping the gods, everything went smoothly, Yi Jinning almost thought that Brother Zhang Wucheng and Concubine Yao would not do anything to her.She also wondered if she was overthinking, Concubine Yao's injury is almost healed now, just now, seeing her worship movements, it is obvious that she is completely healed.

When entering the ancestral temple, Mo Lianchen secretly wiped the sweat from Yi Jinning's forehead a few times, and this action happened to be seen by the county king who came in behind.

Mo Yixuan gave Mo Yichen a strange look, Yi Jinning saw him looking over, and hurriedly said to Mo Yichen, "My lord, thank you for wiping my sweat, I will give you candied haws when I go back to kiss the princess! "

Hearing Yi Jinning's words, Mo Yixuan let go of the doubts in his heart. Was it because he was blind just now?Mo Lianchen's action of wiping Yi Jinning's sweat was so natural, his eyes were so gentle and gentle, the look in those eyes was completely unlike what a foolish prince should have!

The gate of the Jongmyo was shut with a clang, and it was pitch black inside.After a while, dozens of torches and oil lamps were lit up.Yi Jinning followed everyone into the innermost place where the tablets were placed, and found that the placement of the tablets here is a bit strange.

Not allowing her to think too much, the eunuch's screams came to mind again, "Each palace goes back to each room to prepare first, and after a cup of tea, return here to continue the sacrifice ceremony and formally worship the ancestors!"

Has the sacrificial ceremony officially started?

Yi Jinning is still thinking, what a strange ceremony this is, why do they have their own rooms?What is the hia for in that room?
Mo Lianchen took her and followed a court lady to their room. It was a simple little room with only a big bed, a set of tables and chairs, and a large cabinet next to it.

Suddenly, the palace dress on Yi Jinning's body was torn open, she raised her eyebrows, and looked at the big cabinet beside her in astonishment, and then at her husband.

There is something in the cabinet!

"You are right, now... it begins!"

In another room, Concubine Yao and Brother Zhang Wucheng stood together with weird expressions.

"Tell me, will she change the palace clothes in the cabinet? What will happen to her when she sees the things in the cabinet?" Concubine Yao looked at her second elder brother Zhang Wuxiong with an anxious expression on her face.

Zhang Wuxiong waved his hand, "Don't worry, the nanny who delivered the palace dress belongs to me, so I can rest assured that she will do things!"

"Aren't you afraid that the emperor will blame you if the things in the cabinet come out?"

Zhang Wucheng was also very surprised, and put the thing in Yi Jinning's cabinet, so that he could take the opportunity to take revenge on Yi Jinning, and secondly, he could test Mo Yichen's roots.Both the second brother and King Xuan said that Mo Lianchen's injury has long since healed, but he has been pretending to be stupid and blind to deceive the world.

"What the hell is that, will it hurt the emperor or our own people?" Concubine Yao expressed her doubts, she was beaten by Concubine Wan Gui last time, and she has always hated Yi Jinning in her heart.

Today, the priest asked to accompany the emperor when he received the news that his brother was going to deal with Yi Jinning.In fact, with her status, how could she compare to the four noble, virtuous and virtuous concubines?Not to mention coming to the ancestral temple to offer sacrifices, even if she is not allowed to attend a slightly more formal occasion, if the emperor did not favor her and only agreed to her request last night, she would not have come here.
