188. Chapter 188 Ghost Festival
Xiang'er didn't know that Xi Yan was a little bit annoyed. As soon as Nangong Yu's figure left, she began to fantasize about what he would say to Du Qianqian and what he would do with her...
He stayed in a daze like this until Ye Se came over and said, "Princess, the imperial kitchen sent someone to ask if they will continue to deliver meals today..."
"Send it, why don't you send it?" She had just "recovered from a serious illness", so how could she be in the mood to cook the delicious food by herself? In addition, she was getting angry with Nangong Yu, which made her even more unhappy, and her tone was a bit cold.
"Uh!" Ye Se responded aggrievedly and turned back...
The days passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye it was the day of the Ghost Festival.
Early in the morning, Xiyan was woken up by Xiang'er who was still sleeping, "Princess, Aunt Lingxi is waiting outside. During the Ghost Festival in the palace, the queen has always led the concubines in the harem to offer sacrifices together to pray for God's blessing.
, not to be harassed by evil spirits, so..."
After listening to Xiang'er's words, Xi Yan didn't lose her temper. She lifted up the thin silk quilt, sat up, and replied calmly, "I know, you go get the clothes to wear today, or ask Qianxun to come in and comb my hair."
Already...."
"yes!"
Xiang'er went out, Xiyan got out of bed, and after a simple wash, she sat in front of the bronze mirror and began to comb her hair...
I saw Qianxun coming in from the mirror, she opened her mouth and showed a sweet smile, "Xunxun, you're here... In the past few days, I've just been focusing on my not being in a good mood and ignoring you. Don't be angry."
Bar?"
Qianxun's sullen face softened, she came over with a slight smile, took the comb from Xiyan's hand, and while arranging her hair, she said, "The princess is worrying again, how can Qianxun be angry? You can keep it safe"
Being by the princess's side is Qianxun's greatest blessing..."
In fact, Qianxun really wanted to say what was in his heart. He wanted to say that he was not happy to see her, and he was not happy either. When he saw her acting angry with Nangong Yu, he wanted to beat Nangong Yu...
But he knew how much he weighed. Even though he admired her, he still felt inferior in front of her. He could only bury his passionate feelings for her deeply in his heart. The only thing he could do was...
In the age of sound, I tried my best to protect her...
"Really?"
"Of course!" Qianxun answered very quickly.
Xiyan looked at Qianxun from the bronze mirror, staring closely into his eyes, trying to see something in his eyes, but she didn't.
After combing her hair, Xiang'er just happened to come in with clothes. When Xi Yan saw it, she became unhappy, "Since it is a sacrifice to save ghosts, how can you wear such red clothes?"
After hearing this, Xiang'er didn't know how to answer, but Lingxi came in and explained, "Report to the empress, the custom of Da Yue is like this, red can ward off evil spirits. As the mother of the country, the empress presides over sacrifices and saves the souls of the dead, so she must wear red.
..."
After hearing Lingxi's words, Xiyan remained silent and silently stretched out her arms. Lingxi hurriedly shook off the dress from Xiang'er's hand and put it on for Xiyan...
When Xi Yan was fully dressed and followed Ling Xi to the door, she realized that there was a neat row of concubines in uniforms standing at the door.
"Lingxi, what are they..." Xiyan was a little puzzled and asked the nearest Lingxi.
"Well, these are the clothes that Dayue Harem must wear every Hungry Ghost Festival. They are similar to official uniforms, and they are also for ghosts..."
