The concubine is so charming

Chapter 362
The horns and drums sounded, and the banners were fierce.

In order to make this sacrifice to the sky look solemn, the emperor specially set it up in the Guanghan Palace. The palace here is located in a very high position, second only to the main hall of the former dynasty. It is only open during some major festivals and celebrations on weekdays.

Su Yao followed the crowd up the steps, looked up, and saw a tall furnace was enshrined at the entrance of the main hall, and an incense table was placed in front of the furnace, on which were placed the Buddhist scriptures they had copied.

The emperor and the queen mother climbed up to the altar step by step, and Su Yao kowtowed along with all the officials.

The voice of the ceremony officer singing loudly could not stop, and the wind blew, bringing waves of indescribable chills.

After kneeling for nearly two quarters of an hour, he finally waited until the emperor inserted the incense into the cauldron.

The incense on the high platform was burning vigorously, and the faint sandalwood was blowing with the wind with a sour air. Smelling this smell, Su Yao couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly: "If Zhenfei really intends to do this, then it will be good." I watched the play!
Worshiping the heavens was over, Concubine Zhen was supported by Wei Wei and stepped forward.

She respectfully knelt down in front of the Queen Mother, saluted and kowtowed politely: "In order to pray for the concubine and the baby in her womb, the working Queen Mother climbed up to the high platform in person, and I feel really sorry."

The Empress Dowager smiled kindly: "You are hurting now, so you must not be tired, get up quickly. Don't think about many other matters. The most important thing right now is to give birth to a prince for the emperor safely. As long as you will If the baby in the womb is taken care of well, he will be the hero of my Da'an Dynasty, the emperor thinks what the Ai family said is right?"

The emperor smiled and nodded: "The empress dowager is right, concubine Zhen get up quickly."

Concubine Zhen stood up: "For this blessing, I must not only thank the Emperor and the Queen Mother, but also Princess Anping, Princess Mingzhu and others. If they hadn't come to help me copy the Buddhist scriptures on time every day regardless of their hard work, today's I am afraid that the scriptures to be enshrined may not be all together. I think that after these Buddhist scriptures are off the altar, they will be sent to Wanhua Temple, and Master Huiran will help to recite the scriptures for offering.

"Okay, it's still Aifei who is thoughtful, Zhu Chong, let someone escort the Buddhist scriptures to Wanhua Temple."

"Yes." Zhu Chong quickly ordered the servants on the side to carefully gather up the Buddhist scriptures.

The emperor was about to lead the crowd back when he suddenly heard a scream, and then the servant who helped collect the dragon Buddhist scriptures fell to his knees with a plop, his face covered in cold sweat and shivering.

The emperor frowned, and seeing the Buddhist scriptures rolling down on the ground, he suddenly became furious: "These useless slaves! They can't even wrap up a few volumes of Buddhist scriptures! Just take them down!"

"Those Buddhist scriptures... are all blood... Your Majesty..."

Zhu Chongli yelled: "Presumptuous, the holy driver is in front, how dare you talk nonsense!"

"Your Majesty, the servants and others are not talking nonsense, please take a closer look... Those Buddhist scriptures are covered in red, it is really blood!"

The emperor's expression was uncertain, and he turned his head to motion for Zhu Chong, who was at the side, to step forward to check.

Zhu Chong stepped forward, and after looking down, his face suddenly turned pale with shock, and he took two steps back to stabilize his expression, and went forward to report to the emperor: "Your Majesty, all the writing on the Buddhist scriptures has turned red. And faintly, it really looks like there is blood oozing..."

The emperor's brows frowned suddenly, and the empress dowager beside him turned cold: "How could the scriptures that were copied properly turn into blood books? It is very unlucky for the scriptures to be stained with blood!"

Concubine Zhen raised her hand to cover her chest, as if she was frightened, Wei Nanny couldn't help comforting her: "Mother, don't worry, it's just a volume of Buddhist scriptures, it's not a problem, maybe something went wrong when copying... ..."

Hearing this, the emperor turned his head and asked, "Who copied the blood-stained Buddhist scriptures?"

"Report to the emperor, look at the handwriting...it should be Princess Zhaohua."

"Mu Ninghua?" The emperor's eyes froze, and the displeasure between his brows and eyes was extremely displeased. Why is it her again?Something just happened at the previous Qiqiao Banquet, and now the mid-autumn festival praying for blessings brought her out again, "Where is Mu Ninghua?"

"Xuan Mu Ninghua stepped forward!"

Hearing the call, Su Yao stood up slowly, then straightened her skirt and walked towards the high platform: "My daughter, Mu Ninghua, sees the emperor and the queen mother."

Seeing Su Yao, the empress dowager's eyes flashed disgust: "Mu Ninghua, did you copy this Buddhist scripture?"

Zhu Chong had already walked in front of her with the Buddhist scriptures. Su Yao glanced up, panic flashed across his face, and he explained repeatedly: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, this volume of Buddhist scriptures was indeed copied by the court lady, but the court lady copied it. The time was fine, why did the handwriting turn red all of a sudden?"

"The most important thing in copying Buddhist scriptures is sincere respect. When you copied the scriptures and prayed for Concubine Zhen, did you do this?" The Queen Mother looked solemn.

Su Yao nodded hastily, and the look of panic on his face became heavier: "Please empress dowager, the ministers bathe and burn incense every day before copying the Buddhist scriptures, and when copying the scriptures, they even pray for the concubine Zhen every time they write a sentence, in accordance with the rules Not to mention the slightest disobedience.”

"If you are so sincere, then why is this Buddhist scripture stained with blood?" The Queen Mother's voice was condensed.

Su Yao sneered secretly in her heart, the Queen Mother hinted that it was her insincerity when copying the scriptures, which led to the changes in the scriptures, and now she is still pretending to ask her?Don't you just want to use this to put her to death?He wanted to find a legitimate excuse, but it was hypocritical to the extreme!

Su Yao shook her head again and again, her complexion turned pale: "Concubine Zhen, when my daughter is copying scriptures every day, Madam Wei who is beside you can see her, my daughter really respects you..."

Concubine Zhen scanned the Buddhist scriptures, her face was a little weak, and her tone of voice was terrified when she spoke: "Your Majesty, this Buddhist scripture is to pray for the concubine's blessing, and now it is completely stained with blood, the child in the concubine's womb will be affected. ?”

What the emperor cared most about was the child in her womb. Hearing this, the anger in his heart suddenly became stronger.

At this time, a courtier spoke up: "Your Majesty, this Princess Zhaohua was born in the Rongwang Mansion, and this Princess Rong is someone who disrespects the heavens. Her blood is still flowing. God ordered the Buddhist scriptures to be stained with blood, maybe it was because of this."

"Master Zhang is right. His biological mother was killed. This Princess Zhaohua must be resentful. How can she sincerely and respectfully pray for Concubine Zhen and the child in her womb?"

Naturally, someone must involve Chu Feiyan.

"Prime Minister, although Princess Zhaohua is your fiancée, this matter involves a lot and has a bad impact. I hope you can deal with it fairly this time and stop covering up others."

"Yes, please prime minister to put the overall situation first, and don't disregard the whole country and society of the Da'an Dynasty for the sake of personal feelings."
