Chapter 50 She doesn’t look like a fool
  It was obvious that the expressions of Concubine Wen and Concubine Chuan had changed a bit. Concubine Chuan, who had not spoken until now, said with a decent attitude, "Then don't bother Sister Concubine Chen. My sister came in a hurry today and didn't prepare any gifts. She should." Congratulations to Concubine Chen for renovating the Funing Palace, which is equivalent to a housewarming."

[What you say sounds so nice. I think you are very jealous in your hearts. You came here this time to see what kind of monster you can be. 】

[How come I haven’t seen you take the initiative to come to Funing Palace before? My mother is easy to bully, you think I, Gu Luosheng, am a vegetarian. 】

The little person huddled in Concubine Chen's arms kept rolling her eyes at the two of them. Anyway, she was a huge fool in their eyes, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration for her to anger them to death with her eyes.

When Concubine Wen saw Gu Luosheng's little appearance, she was trembling with anger. She thought in her heart that Concubine Chen had taught her this and was deliberately making them angry!

"No, thank you Sister Sichuan for your kindness. This is not a housewarming, so there is nothing to congratulate." Concubine Chen responded lightly.

Concubine Sichuan was calmer than Concubine Wen. She ignored Gu Luosheng's expression, but bowed slightly and saluted, "Then, sisters, please leave first. If you need any help from your sisters during the ceremony, please feel free to contact them at any time."

"Ah."

Concubine Wen originally wanted to get involved in the sacrificial ceremony, but Concubine Sichuan gave her a look, and Concubine Wen had to give up. She suppressed her anger and bowed before leaving with Concubine Sichuan.

After walking out of Funing Palace, the two walked close to each other. Concubine Wen vented her anger in a low voice, "Why do I always think the Sixth Princess is weird? She doesn't look like a fool at all."

Princess Sichuan sneered, "She is just a fool. How can you think that a fool is abnormal?"

"That's not what I mean. Every time I see her, she is always disobedient. She either falls or screams. It was the same last time in the garden." Concubine Wen was so angry that she always felt Gu Luosheng seemed to be targeting him intentionally.

"That fool poses no threat to us. You don't need to be angry with her. Concubine Chen, can you bear this tone? Didn't the emperor leave the sacrificial ceremony to you two? Why are you so leisurely today, sister?" Sichuan concubine said with a half-smile.

This sentence hit Concubine Wen's shortcomings, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across her cheeks, "Sister... I have finished all the work that I should do. It's... Sister Concubine Chen moves too slowly and does things in a grinding manner."

"Oh, that's it. When I go to His Majesty's house when I have time, I'd like to say some kind words to His Majesty." Concubine Sichuan smiled slightly, with a hint of weirdness in her smile.

Concubine Wen was startled, and she apologized, "No need, sister, this is what I should do. The Queen and the Queen didn't even say anything, so we'd better not go beyond our duties."

At this time, Concubine Wen was implying that Concubine Sichuan was not of such a high rank and asked her not to think so highly of herself.

The smell of gunpowder in the air became stronger and stronger. Although Concubine Wen and Concubine Sichuan were both smiling on the surface, they each had sharp blades hidden behind their smiles.

Concubine Chen hugged Gu Luosheng on the chair and checked if she was injured. She sighed, full of guilt, "Sheng'er, if you meet any concubines in the palace in the future, if you don't have anyone close to you, Now, you have to try your best to avoid them, you know?" Gu Luosheng blinked his big eyes and nodded his little head cutely.

"Sheng'er is so good. Tomorrow is the sacrificial ceremony. Some things need to be finished today. Mother has to go take a look there. You stay in Funing Palace and don't go out and run around, okay?" Concubine Chen asked.

Gu Luosheng was as obedient as a puppy, and her soft little head made people want to touch her.

Just in case, Concubine Chen still left Chunxiang in the palace with Gu Luosheng. Before leaving, she told her, "Keep an eye on the Sixth Princess. If any concubines come to visit, tell them that I am not here and ask them to invite you." Hui, don’t let anyone other than the Emperor come into contact with the Sixth Princess.”

Chunxiang nodded firmly, "Madam, please feel free to go about your work. I will definitely take good care of the Sixth Princess."

It was August, and the weather was already a little cooler. A huge red tent was propped up in the center of the venue, and the dragon stone pillars were also surrounded by bright red hanging ribbons. It looked very grand from a distance, and there were things that could be done in advance in the tent. Long-term storage of pastries and various sacrifices, as well as two strong big roosters were tied to both ends of the sacrificial platform. Countless giant candles were scattered on the ground, but they could only be lit at night on the day of the sacrifice.

The Yuan Kingdom's sacrificial ceremony needs to be held at night, and all the concubines in the palace must participate. They pray to the sky for peace in the Yuan Kingdom every year. After the ceremony, tributes are offered for three days and then thrown into the palace. Burned in the furnace.

However, the requirements for this memorial ceremony are very high. Because it is dedicated to the gods in heaven, there must be no mistakes.

"Check carefully whether these shelves are strong or not. The people from Qintian Prison said that there may be night wind in the evening, so make sure they are strong." Concubine Chen instructed the craftsmen at work.

These are craftsmen with many years of technical experience outside the palace. In the past few years, Emperor Renqi used carpenters from the palace to build the sacrificial ceremony. However, due to lack of skills and experience, the structure broke down once during the ceremony. The temple collapsed, killing a concubine and several palace maids. Emperor Renqi was furious and was about to hang all the carpenters involved in building the sacrificial ceremony.

From then on, in order to ensure that the gods in the sky were not offended and everything went smoothly during the annual sacrificial ceremony, Emperor Renqi sent people outside the palace to find craftsmen with many years of technical experience in the rivers and lakes. So far, the annual sacrificial ceremony has never been held. There have been accidents.

Just when Concubine Chen was about to go to the next venue to inspect, she caught a glimpse of a plate of piled Baiyun cakes on the sacrificial table. She frowned, walked over and asked, "Who put this cake here?" Didn’t the palace say before that sweet pastries are not allowed to appear in the sacrificial ceremony?”

A slave who was working knelt on the ground, "Huichen Concubine, Concubine Wen sent someone to deliver it. She said that the emperor likes sweets, so Concubine Wen made these cakes herself."

Concubine Chen's delicate eyebrows were wrinkled. After Queen Chenxiang told her earlier, she sent Chunxiang to Concubine Wen to convey a message. Concubine Wen had already asked Chunxiang to convey that she would not use it. Why would she still send someone to use the sweet without informing her? Are the things from the mouth used in sacrificial ceremonies?

"Take this plate away first. Sweet food is not allowed in the sacrificial ceremony. The emperor will be furious when he sees it. You must pay attention to this if you want to survive!"
