Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

The moment the two eyes met in the air, I wonder if it was my illusion. I felt his broad shoulders twitched slightly.

And I immediately lowered my head.

All the people around were standing solemnly. On such occasions of hundreds of people, they didn't even smell a cough and wheeze. All the people were quiet, only the wind blowing through the tall sycamore tree near the shrine. The sound came, and a few yellowed leaves slowly drifted down from above.

Time, little by little.

All of us were standing outside the ancestral temple, watching the sun rise little by little, and the sun was shining on us unobstructed. Under the heavy dress, everyone was sweating.

However, no one moved.

Everyone stood motionless.

I don't know how long, the sun is getting more and more intense, and I was slightly dizzy. Finally, I heard a very light knocking sound from the ancestral hall.

Immediately, because of standing too long, some stiff brains became active. Although I can't see what's going on inside, but according to the ancestor worship process, I have already made the first offering, naturally I have to salute the ancestors.

As a result, Xue Yan, who stood at the forefront, straightened his back and slowly knelt down.

All of us knelt down with her, kneeling down on the ground with a respectful bow, and then stood up.

After a while, a second snoring sound came.

Everyone fell to their knees again and scratched their heads towards the ancestral temple.

When the third salutation was over, I heard the people behind them take a subconscious breath. Although no one spoke, the atmosphere suddenly changed from solemn and solemn to the tense and weird.

Just as I was about to get up, the ankle injury finally reminded me of its existence. A tingling came. I took a sigh of cold air and almost fell down. Fortunately, Yan Ruoyu, who was next to me, helped me quickly. Lived me.

"Cousin, are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

I smiled at her, barely holding her arm to stand upright, Xue Ye also slowly got up from the ground, and there was a maid next to her who wanted to come and help her, and she waved coldly. She glanced back at me and said indifferently: "Look at your sickness, there is nothing for you here, go back."

I smiled: "I'm fine."

Of course, she didn't expect to drive me away with a single sentence, but when I heard that, her face was even worse, she snorted coldly, and turned back.

There is still no movement in the ancestral temple, although I know that there is still a tedious set of etiquette to continue, but for the women who accompany the sacrifice outside, there is nothing to do. Everyone still stands in his place and respect Hanging his hands waiting inside.

When I turned around inadvertently, I saw Pei Yuanxiu who was still standing in the crowd. At this time, he was already at the forefront of the crowd.

He is looking at me.

I still turned around to avoid his eyes and continued to look at the ancestral temple in front.

Finally, there was a little movement inside.

A few small crickets ran out from the inside quickly, followed by Yan Zicong and their young people. When they came out and stood on both sides of the steps, Yan Hui came out of the gate.

He wore a very solemn dress with wide robes and large sleeves. When he walked out, he looked very magnificent, and when he came out, the last one who came out of it was naturally Yan Qingchen.

My breath tightened slightly.

The two little sisters helped him slowly come out of it, and I saw that he was still very weak. The sacrifice in it took so long, probably all relying on the help of others. Immediately someone pushed his wheelchair and put him up.

He sat there softly, pale and sweaty.

When I saw him like this, I was naturally distressed, but I couldn't show anything. I waited until those people slowly lifted him down, and Yan Yan and them all came down. I hurried over and helped The armrest of his wheelchair whispered, "Light dust, are you okay?"

He raised his face and smiled at me reluctantly: "Relax, sister, I'm fine."

Although he said so, looking at his face and breath, it was not "okay" at all.

I was apprehensive, and in the corner of my eyes I had seen Yan Ye walked in front of Pei Yuanxiu, two people bowed their heads and said a few words, and Xue Ye stood aside and looked at both of us—her eyes, ca n’t be completely cold, but The motionless appearance is enough to make people feel cold.

At this time, the sacrifice has ended.

However, no one left.

In the huge courtyard, more and more people gathered here, without the solemn silence just now, it seemed a bit noisy at this moment, Xue Yan and Yan Yan glanced at each other, both of them nodded, Xue He raised his hand and waved, and immediately a group of people hurriedly rushed out, moved a dozen chairs out of the back of the crowd, put them in this courtyard, Central Plains, surrounded by a large circle.

She said: "No more gossip. Everyone knows that our Yan family has important matters to discuss today. Please don't be humble. Please sit down."

Everyone you look at me, I look at you, and didn't say anything, all walked slowly and sat down.

Only Yan Qingchen, because he was in a wheelchair, did not arrange a chair for him, and was pushed directly by a little tadpole to his master's position.

When everyone settled down, a few small crickets ran to the side again, and pulled up the wooden pillars on the ground. All of a sudden, a dozen pillars stood up and they were inserted into the round holes prepared in advance on the ground, and then Another group of maids came up, holding the white yarn, and put the white yarn on the twine that connected the wooden posts.

I heard a few whispers, and white gauze gathered like clouds over our heads. Soon, a large "house" was set up on the court, and the white gauze fluttered slightly. We sat inside, You don't have to be exposed to the sun, and you can feel the coolness of the wind.

It's a good idea.

I can't help but admire their intentions, but unfortunately, in order to show their respect for their ancestors when they first worshipped, they couldn't enjoy it, but at the moment, this is indeed the best arrangement.

After all the surnamed Yan was seated, Mr. Ma was slowly assisted to walk in. Although he was highly respected, and he was also a person near Grandpa, but after all, as a servant, he sat behind us.

I glanced back and he nodded slightly to me.

At this time, Xue Yan stood up.

She was with me, and my breath followed.

Holding a dragon-stick in her hand, she slowly walked to the center and said aloud, "You should know that this time I called you to Gantang Village, not only for the ancestor sacrifice, but also for the sake of our beauty. Home, and even a major event for Nishikawa in the future. "

Everyone looked at her.

She glanced for a week and then said, "However, although I am the mother of the Yan family, I can't do it alone, so I specially invited my five uncles and you to discuss major issues. I hope everyone can work together to complete the Yan family's unfinished business for many years. Will. "

Sitting on his seat, Yan Yan slowly said, "Since they are all from the Yan family, naturally they should work together. If there is anything, you can speak up."

"That's good," Xue Yan said, without even looking at us, and said directly: "You should know that Pei's innocence, and even the chaos in the world, the living beings are covered with charcoal, and the people are struggling. The imperial court has always been suffering and no chance, but now, there is an excellent opportunity to fulfill our long-cherished wish for many years! "

Everyone looked at each other, and someone asked carefully: "What opportunity?"

Xue Yi said immediately: "Everyone should know that now the Central Plains has begun fighting, Lin Zhong in Yunzhong and Yuan Nan in Yunan have all started their troops, and the rebels in various places have also gathered to respond. I think this is an excellent opportunity! You should stay out of it and take this opportunity to join the war and overthrow the current court! "

I saw her neck flushing, and said more and more quickly.

When she finished speaking, everyone seemed to be unable to respond, and they didn't speak.

After a while, a soft voice sounded: "But in this case, what good is it to our Yan family?"

This voice, of course, is no stranger.

It's Yan Ruoyu.

I didn't expect that she would be the first one to speak, but she was sitting in a corner, so it was not so eye-catching. After the opening, the people around him also reacted, and then turned to look at her.

Xue Yan's hadn't responded yet, and Yan Zhen and Yan Zicong sitting in front of them frowned.

Yan Ruoyu smiled and said, "What my aunt just said makes sense. However, if the idiot is a bit foolish, I can't figure it out. If the Yan family really wants to participate in the external war, it will inevitably pay-pay money, send troops, contribute, In the end, can we get any benefits? "

Xue Yi froze.

Obviously, as the elder lady of the Yan family, she has nourishment and superiority. She has never gone out to actually talk about business and have done one thing, so there is no concept of interest in her consciousness, because she has just been impassioned and agitated by Yan Ruoyu Asked and fell down.

As she shivered and was speechless for a moment, a deep and thick voice retorted: "The elders have not spoken yet, how can you speak!"

Looking up, Yan Yan.

His eyebrows were all raised, glaring at Yan Ruoyu.

Yan Ruoyu was obviously afraid of him. He was glared and immediately lowered his head, daring not to speak. Yan Zicong, who was sitting next to Yan Yan, snorted immediately, "Women, you have long hair and short sights. What do you understand? Listen carefully ,talk less!"

At this moment, a very clear voice rang out: "You can't say that."
