She is the daughter of Marquis Beiting. There are some things she can say but you cannot.
Because it was Prince Zhaoming and his trusted troops who died at Chongyang Pass, leaving only the Shen family to take care of their young son.
And now the daughter of the Shen family married the son of Prince Zhaoming and gave birth to the current King Huainan.
Today, Shen Mingzhu can say a few words and throw up his sleeves. Who would dare if it were someone else? If Gu You had an argument with her, no matter whether it was right or wrong, she would just say one sentence, remembering that she couldn't help but feel angry and couldn't control it. It was bad luck. It was Gu You.
Zhou took a deep breath, fearing that Gu You would become enemies with the legitimate daughter of the Beiting Hou Mansion: "Don't fight with her. I heard that she is about to marry into the Huainan Prince's Mansion and become the princess. If you offend her, we will There is no benefit to the family."
"Marry Prince Huainan as a princess?" Gu You couldn't help but almost screamed, "How is this possible?!"
Li Chongyang clearly said at that time that he wanted to marry her, so how could he marry someone else!
Even though she initially resented Li Chongyang for having a bunch of concubines, how long did it take for him to change his mind and marry someone else?
Gu You's eyes were red.
"Why is it impossible?" Mrs. Zhou said, "The Shen family is the natal family of Concubine Shen, and Miss Shen is the cousin of King Huainan. Ayou, be obedient and don't get into trouble with her."
This Shen Mingzhu Zhou family also knows that she is said to be a very capable person. Forget about the nameless concubines of the Huainan Palace. After all, they cannot be on the stage. But if anyone wants to marry and become the Princess of Huainan, Even if it is bad luck.
Gu You's face was red, his eyes were red, he clenched his fists tightly, but said nothing.
Zhou quickly took her into the palace to find a place to sit down and rest.
About half an hour later, everyone had arrived and it was time to worship.
At this time, there was a rapid ringing of bells, and everyone stood up and walked out of the hall.
The Tiantian Temple has an eight-story tower with three platforms.
In front of the pagoda is the highest place. A large cauldron is placed in front of the pagoda, which is used for worship. During the worship, His Majesty will stand here to worship.
The platform in the middle is divided into two sides by steps, which is where the royal family, several princes, and princes stand. On the left side of the steps are the female relatives, and on the right are the men.
The last platform is the square of the Tiantai, where the rest of the officials are standing. There is a space in the middle, and the men and women are separated. The women are still on the left and the men are on the right.
Xie Yixiao and Xie Zhu followed Mrs. Xie and found a place closer to the front to stand.
After all, Mr. Xie is also a cabinet bachelor. Although he doesn't do much work now, his official position has not been removed. Therefore, he can be regarded as one of the highest-ranking people on the last ladder.
After standing still, a monk presented the incense used for worship. Since the time for reciting the sacrificial words was not short, the incense was not burned at this time. Only after the worship was completed could one go up to the stage to light the incense and place it on the top. in the great cauldron.
"In the twenty-eighth year of Jianyuan today, the Emperor is worshiping the Double Ninth Festival. Jianyuan leads hundreds of officials to worship the heroes of our ancestors on the rooftop, and kneel down——"
The master of ceremonies read out the sacrificial text, and His Majesty stood under the high tower, in front of the big cauldron, and knelt down in front of the hundreds of officials and family members who stretched out his hands, and the clouds were all white.
Your Majesty is the king of a country and the emperor, and he will not kneel.
After everyone knelt down, the master of ceremonies read the memorial text.
The sacrificial text is complicated and convoluted, and it makes people have to guess the meaning word for word. However, the sacrificial text is read to worship the heroic spirits. It doesn't matter if everyone doesn't understand it. Just kneel down and listen.
In any other situation, listening to these convoluted and incomprehensible things would definitely make people drowsy. However, no one dared to fall asleep at this time. Everyone listened attentively.
Xie Yixiao understood a little at first. The memorial text told the identities of the heroes who died on the battlefield, how many people died in that battle, and then what time it was and what the court was doing.
, the world is at peace and the people live and work in peace and contentment.
Later, it was too much and I was a little tired. I didn’t bother to understand it anymore, so I knelt down and listened.
The ritual chanting lasted about half an hour, and my legs were sore from kneeling.
When it was time to get up, many people were almost unable to get up. Xie Yixiao was afraid that he would fall, so he slowly stood up.
After reciting the sacrificial inscriptions, someone will burn the sacrificial inscriptions on the high platform. After the sacrificial inscriptions are burned, His Majesty will lead everyone to hold incense and worship. This time, there is no need to kneel down, just hold the incense in hand and bow three times to worship.
.
After the worship was completed, His Majesty led the people down from the high platform, and then it was time for the rest of the people to light incense and place incense.
The rest of the royal family, the Duke's Mansion, and the Marquis' Mansion will go up first, and twelve people can go up at a time.
After waiting for another stick of incense (30 minutes), it was the turn of the Xie family members. Mrs. Xie led Xie Yixiao and Xie Zhu onto the stage, and handed the incense string in her hand to the monk who was helping to light the incense.
After lighting the incense, he took it back, went to the big cauldron, held the incense and bowed three times, inserted the incense into the big cauldron, and then joined his hands and bowed three times before the matter was over.
After Mrs. Xie came out, she planned to go to the palace to have a rest before going back down the mountain to go home.
As soon as the three of them walked out, a monk came to invite them: "Mrs. Xie, Miss Xie, Mrs. Rong Guogong has invited you."
Mrs. Xie nodded: "Lead the way."
The monk led the three members of the Xie family to go out of the hall, where Mrs. Rong Guogong and Mrs. Cao Guogong were talking there.
Seeing that the three of them were coming, Mrs. Rong Guogong stretched out her hand and waved: "Come over here."
The three of them went forward and saluted: "Greetings to Madam Rong Guogong, and Madam Cao Guogong."
Duke Rongguo said: "There are no outsiders here, so just find a seat and sit wherever you want."
Xie Yi smiled and saw that Mrs. Rong Guo Gong's face was a little pale, and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong with Mrs. Rong Guo Gong?"
Mrs. Rong Guogong laughed twice: "It's okay, it's an old problem."
Mrs. Cao Guo said: "It's nothing. She has leg pain. She was injured that year. It doesn't matter on weekdays. But she has been kneeling for half an hour. Does it not hurt? I told her not to come. Her health is important.
She just didn't listen."
If you come, it is obviously inappropriate not to kneel down, so you can only stop coming.
"How can I not come?" Mrs. Rong Guogong stopped, "As long as I can still walk, I will come."
Mrs. Cao Guogong probably also understood Mrs. Rong Guogong's persistence. She was born ten years later than Mrs. Rong Guogong, and she respected these soldiers who died in the battle, but Mrs. Rong Guogong was different.
——She has fought side by side with those people.
Although more than thirty years have passed since the past, she is nearly sixty years old, and most of her life has already passed.
But here, wherever she can move, she will come.
"I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me. Let's take a rest and then go down the mountain and go home."
