Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife - Chapter 668
[Chapter 668 The Spring Ploughing Ceremony Begins]
The flags fluttered, and the emperor, who had improved a little, took the dragon and drove out of Kyoto, all the way to the Tailai Huangzhuang on the outskirts of the city.
Mu Yunyao and Princess Yu rode in a carriage, accompanied by Si Qin and Si Qi. The carriage swayed, and the curtains swayed slightly. Mu Yunyao looked out through the small window, just in time to see King Jin on his horse. .
King Jin wore a gilt-trimmed prince to serve, his eyes were pure and his expression was warm, and he sat on a white horse. But she was able to see the dark calculations and inflated ambitions in his heart through this beautiful skin.
King Jin seemed to feel something, turned his head to look in the direction of Mu Yunyao, but only saw the slightly swaying curtain of the car.
Min Fanghua poured a cup of tea and put it in Mu Yunyao’s hand: “Yao’er, I’m really sorry, but I want you to accompany me in danger.”
Mu Yunyao shook her head: “What did the second sister-in-law say? The Spring Ploughing Ceremony is not only to pray for good weather, but also to pray for a bumper crop in the coming year and a prosperous agricultural business. This agricultural business is sericulture, which should be handled by female relatives. As a prince and concubine, it is also a matter of course to help concubine Qi Guifei with the silkworm mulberry ceremony.”
“Yao’er, I found that you always have the ability to comfort people. Just a few words can make people feel at ease.” Although Yun Yao’s words are correct, this time is different from the past. In the past spring ploughing ceremony, it was okay to participate a hundred times, but this Ciming knew that the King of Jin and the Li family would make trouble, so he could have pretended to be sick to escape, but he didn’t mean to dodge in the slightest, which was really admirable.
Tailai Huangzhuang is not too far from the capital, but because the emperor’s body has just recovered, the team dare not move too fast, after two breaks in the middle, they arrive at Huangzhuang in the evening.
Mu Yunyao got off the carriage and looked at the grassy fields in the fields that were far away but not close, with a comforting smile on the corners of her lips.
Because Tailai Huangzhuang has always been designated as the place to hold the Spring Ploughing Ceremony, the decoration in the Huangzhuang is more luxurious, and the palace rooms are also sufficient. Mu Yunyao came to the yard allocated in advance, and after temporarily tidying up, she brought the Secretary Qin and Siqi went to find Princess Yu and admire the scenery in Huangzhuang.
The two stopped and walked, talking and laughing along the way, and the atmosphere seemed extremely harmonious. When it got dark, the two went back to rest separately.
King Yue didn’t come back until he was close to Zi Shi. He wanted to freshen up and come back to rest, but he was worried about Mu Yunyao. , resting his head on one hand, so sleepy that he dozed off.
Perhaps it was the wind that opened the door that alerted her, Mu Yunyao opened her eyes in a daze, and saw the figure of King Yue, with a smile on her face: “Fourth Master, you are back.”
Seeing her rosy cheeks and misty appearance, King Yue couldn’t help his heart soften. He wanted to go forward and hug her, but after moving a step, he heard the sound of the armor on his body and stopped quickly.
“Yao’er, why haven’t you slept yet?”
“If you don’t come back, I won’t be able to sleep soundly.” Mu Yunyao didn’t mind, she stepped forward and leaned into King Yue’s arms, and was immediately shivered by the armored ice. The misty sleepiness disappeared without a trace. Reluctantly, he stretched out his fingers and scratched on the armor. There was nothing wrong with the armor, and his fingertips turned red first.
King Yue’s heart became softer and softer, he held her hand and blew: “I’ll go down and change my clothes first, and I’ll sleep with you later.”
“I asked someone to prepare hot water.” Mu Yunyao knew that King Yue had worked hard. Not only did he prepare hot water, but he also put medicinal herbs in the water to unclog the meridians and restore physical strength.
King Yue suddenly felt light all over after taking a bath. After returning, he hugged Mu Yunyao and talked for a while, and the two gradually fell asleep.
The candle was burning in the room, and tears dripped from the candle from time to time. Seeing that the candle was about to burn out, a loud noise suddenly came, causing the two people in the room to open their eyes abruptly.
King Yue got out of bed, put on his clothes, picked up his long sword and walked out: “Yao’er, don’t walk around in the room, I’ll go and see what’s going on.” According to their previous guesses, King Jin and others should not Such a hasty move.
Mu Yunyao quickly put on her clothes, with the jeweled dagger that King Yue gave her hidden in her sleeves, and sat beside the bed with a very serious expression on her face. After waiting for a quarter of an hour, there was only noise outside and no other visions were seen, and her heart gradually relaxed.
Siqin walked into the door: “Miss, the slaves went to find out. The reason for such a big commotion just now is that the cattle that will be used in tomorrow’s ceremony suddenly died.”
Mu Yunyao frowned: “Isn’t there someone who has been guarding and taking care of it all the time? Why did he die tonight by such a coincidence?”
The spring ploughing ceremony is about to start tomorrow morning, and looking at the current time, it may be too late to find the cattle.
“Can you find out why?”
“Someone went over to look at it, but they didn’t see any problem, but the ox was foaming at the mouth, and it looked extremely miserable.”
King Jin, what are they going to do?
Mu Yunyao waited for a while, and soon someone came to invite her to Princess Yu’s courtyard.
Mu Yunyao looked at the sky, and a dull look flashed in her eyes: “There is still half an hour before the spring ploughing ceremony, I will pack up and go straight over. You can go back to Princess Yu according to the original words.”
The maid looked up and saw that Si Qin and Si Qi were standing beside Mu Yunyao on the left and right.
Si Qi couldn’t help but say, “Fortunately, the princess was prepared in advance.”
In order to prevent anyone from making trouble, Mu Yunyao and Min Fanghua made an agreement in advance that if they send someone to pass the message, they must give each other a high five before salute, otherwise the others will not be trusted. Unexpectedly, someone took advantage of the chaos so soon.
The emperor heard that the cattle had an accident, his expression was very ugly, and some officials took the opportunity to say that the cattle died before the ceremony, but it was extremely unknown, and the emperor was asked to investigate the reasons thoroughly. Some people even put the responsibility on the order of the ceremony, On the defensive Yue King, but the emperor ignored it.
Time was rushing, and seeing the fish maw white appear in the sky, Mu Yunyao came to the field after cleaning up.
Luanjia came, and the emperor, whose face was abnormally pale and pale, stepped down from Luanjia, looked at the Quli tied with red silk in the field, and said, “Today is the spring ploughing ceremony, but I was sleepless yesterday. Inappropriate, although my subjects are all dedicated to the people, they have long since stayed away from farming, and if things go on like this, they will surely forget the hardships involved.”
The officials were a little stunned when they heard that the ox was dead. Could it be that the emperor was going to use them?
The emperor went on to say: “Last night, the ox suddenly died suddenly. I had a dream during my sleep. I dreamed that the ox was kneeling on the ground and weeping, and I bowed three times to me, and then I left on the cloud, and then another immortal stood between my eyebrows. One point, I was instructed by heaven and man, and suddenly realized the meaning of it, the immortals took away the cattle, and I hoped that the officials under my command would take care of the mulberry, and I would help the plough, and the officials would go and help the plow and farming.”
