Consort, she is reborn

The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is lengthy and cumbersome. Even though the officials of Taichang Temple have been streamlined again and again, there are still necessary steps-welcoming the gods, saluting, entering the Zu, the first offering, the second offering, the final offering, a set of procedures. , It took more than an hour to simplify it.

No matter how powerful Ming Da is in the court, as a princess, her position in the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is always determined.She stood in the clan team, with Tang Zhao standing beside her. From time to time, she could look up and see the emaciated and straight back of the emperor on the high altar.Even Song Zhen, as the prospective prince, followed the emperor to the high platform, where he could look down on the officials below.

Fortunately, the two figures, one big and one small, on the high platform did not make any mistakes.Although standing in the cold wind for an hour, even some healthy courtiers found it difficult, but the sick and frail emperor managed to hold on this time.

Mingda heaved a long sigh of relief when the Minister of Taichang Temple announced the end of the ceremony.

When Xiao Song Zhen helped the emperor get down from the altar, Ming Da and Tang Zhao hurried up to greet him, and Ming Da asked eagerly, "Brother Emperor, do you feel unwell?"

The emperor's face was a little paler than before, and even the color of his lips was almost invisible, but he shook his head and said, "I'm fine, don't worry, sister. Let's go, let's go back to the palace first, and we won't return to Beijing until tomorrow." , you can take a good rest."

In fact, Mingda was not at ease. After all, last year the emperor just opened the window to watch the snow for a while, and he fell seriously ill because of it.Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor's health is worse than in previous years, even before it was so bad that he started to ask for help.How could it suddenly get better again, and even be able to do such things as coming out to sacrifice to the sky in heavy snow?

Mingda couldn't help feeling worried, seeing the emperor's expression was very serious, but he didn't feel at ease, on the contrary, he was even more worried.

However, worry is nothing but worry, Mingda is not good at wasting time at such a time, so he hurriedly sent the emperor back to the warm palace with Song Zhen.On the way, a palace official handed over a warm stove, and Ming Da even stuffed two into the emperor's hand, making him dumbfounded.

The palace next to the Circular Mound is not small, and it is even more fully furnished.After all, according to the usual practice, the emperor would bring all the civil and military officials here to bathe and fast before offering sacrifices to heaven, so this palace must at least accommodate these people.

After the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, all the officials followed the emperor back to the palace, and returned to Beijing early the next morning.

In the evening, Mingda and Tang Zhao still stayed in the emperor's palace. On the one hand, they were accompanying the emperor to spend the winter solstice festival. Obviously he recovered, and he didn't seem to be seriously ill, but Mingda was still worried that if he missed his attention by the wrong eye, he would fall ill again.

The emperor knew what his sister was thinking, and felt helpless while ironing the post. After thinking about it, he ordered someone to prepare a hot pot.

On the night of the winter solstice, it snowed outside again, not to mention the burning earth dragon in the hall, and the steaming hot pot with jade dew. For this family, it was a rare relaxation.

The emperor didn't eat much, but after being steamed by the heat from the hot pot, his pale cheeks were also stained with blood, and he looked much healthier.He was not in a hurry, and he didn't put down his chopsticks after eating. Instead, he changed a pair of chopsticks to take care of Song Zhenlai-the child was growing up, and he ate more than him, and the emperor was inexplicably happy to feed him.

Also being fed was Mingda, she raised her eyes and saw this scene during the meal, she couldn't help saying: "It's so cumbersome and cold to sacrifice to the sky today, Brother Huang also survived, it seems that there should be no problem to survive this winter .”

Hearing this, the emperor gave Song Zhen a pause, causing the child to look up.

However, Song Zhen didn't raise his head because of the order given by the emperor. He felt that what A Niang said was right, so it seemed that Shi's eyes were shining, and they were full of hope.

The emperor was so seen that he couldn't say anything to refute, so he forced a smile and said, "Perhaps."

After eating a hot pot meal for nearly an hour, by the time the palace servants removed the mess, it was already dark outside.Mingda and Tang Zhao couldn't stay any longer, so they took their leave and left. Before leaving, they didn't forget to tell Song Zhen, who stayed behind, to take good care of the emperor.

Xiao Songzhen is very obedient and obedient. He has experienced many things these days, and he seems to have calmed down.Among other things, at least it would not be difficult to direct the palace servants around by staring at the sickly father.

When Mingda and Tang Zhao left the emperor's bedroom, it was snowing outside again.The heavy snow drifted into the corridor through the night, and two or three snowflakes hit the face, which was extraordinarily cool.

Tang Zhao regained his senses from the warmth of the palace with a jolt, and turned his head to adjust the cloak on Mingda's body in his first reaction: "It's snowing again, Your Highness, be careful not to catch a cold."

Mingda has been in good health since he was a child, so he is not afraid of the wind and snow, so he couldn't help laughing when he saw this.She stretched out her cloak and put her hand into Tang Zhao's cloak: "Then Azhao, can you warm my hands?"

That's what I said, but when Tang Zhao held Mingda's hand, that soft little hand was obviously warm, so where does it need to be warm?Fortunately, Tang Zhao didn't say it out of confusion. Instead, he took Mingda's hand and said, "Then let's go back."

The two stepped into the wind and snow from the corridor, and a palace official immediately stepped forward to hold an umbrella for the two of them, covering most of the snow that was falling from the sky.

Mingda is in a good mood tonight, and it is rare for his children to play around.She was held by Tang Zhao with one hand, but she secretly stretched out her cloak with the other hand. When she passed by a flower tree, she grabbed a small handful of snow from a branch, and threw it at Tang Zhao without seeing it clearly. her face.

Tang Zhao was startled, and when he turned his head, he saw the little princess sniggering.

Mingda let go of Tang Zhao's hand, dodged two steps and ran into the wind and snow, but Tang Zhao was angry and funny when he came back to his senses.She didn't want to care about it at first, but seeing the relaxed smile on Mingda's face, she felt like playing around with her, leaned over and grabbed two handfuls of snow in her hands: "Your Highness, don't run away, let's see how I can get my revenge! "

Of course it was impossible not to run, Mingda turned his head and started to run, laughing lightly.

Tang Zhao threw out two handfuls of snow, but they were not as accurate as before, and they just flew past Mingda's ears.She spoke fiercely, but her subordinates were merciful in the end, and they only chased after her, but they were not slow.

Not long after, Mingda was caught by Tang Zhao.She hugged him in her arms, and then pressed the cold hand on Mingda's neck after grasping the snow, Her Royal Highness couldn't help shrinking her neck from the ice.So one yelled proudly, the other begged for mercy with a smile, the palace man holding the umbrella didn't catch up wisely, only the two of them laughed.

When the noise was enough, the two of them didn't feel cold anymore, and they felt warm all over after the activity.Tang Zhao hugged Mingda horizontally, and euphemistically said: In case Her Royal Highness is itchy again, she will be distressed if she is frozen from playing in the snow.

Mingda put his arms around Tang Zhao's neck, and whispered a few words in her ear funny.

Tang Zhao's original steps paused, and when he lowered his head, he saw Mingda smiling again.She couldn't help being angry and funny, but she let go of Mingda and looked at Mingda with more meaning.

On the night of the winter solstice, both Tang Zhao and Mingda slept deeply, and when they woke up the next day, it was already broad daylight.

Mingda opened his eyes to look at the sky, then closed his eyes and leaned lazily in Tang Zhao's arms, not wanting to move.Tang Zhao bowed his head and kissed her on the forehead, causing Her Royal Highness to push her, and then stayed on the bed with her.

Today, he was going back to Beijing, Mingda squinted his eyes in Tang Zhao's arms for a while, and finally got up.

Tang Zhao slept on the outside, got up and tidied himself up first, and was about to call the palace servants to wait for Mingda to wash, but was stopped by His Highness the Princess: "I don't want the palace servants to serve you today, Ah Zhao will do it yourself."

Ming Da sat on the bed, looked at Tang Zhao lazily, and opened his arms to her.

Tang Zhao's eyes were stained with a smile, and he didn't feel troubled at all, so he replied, "Okay."

After she finished speaking, she took two steps forward, and first hugged Her Royal Highness from the bed. Mingda took advantage of the opportunity to wrap her arms around Tang Zhao's neck.It's just that when Tang Zhao hugged her to get up, the latter opened his mouth and bit Tang Zhao's earlobe moderately, causing Tang Zhao to almost lose his balance and drop her.Immediately she turned her head and said helplessly and dotingly: "Your Highness, don't make trouble."

Mingda "hummed" twice, let her go, and let Tang Zhao wait for her to change and wash her clothes, and then he didn't even pretend to dress up.Only by making people around in circles can I take revenge for not being able to stand up last night.

The two quarreled for a while in the boudoir, and by the time they showed up, it was already time.

Fortunately, there was a three-day holiday during the winter solstice, and the matter of returning to Beijing was not very urgent, and no one came to inform the departure at this time.So the two ate some late breakfast, and then went to the emperor's bedroom.

After one night, the emperor who was blown by the cold wind did not fall ill, and he was still in good spirits this morning.

Seeing this, Ming Da felt relieved, and asked the emperor about his meal and medicine this morning. After learning that everything was fine, he finally let go of his worries.After worrying about all this, she asked: "Brother Huang, when are we going back to Beijing?"

The emperor looked at her with a smile that was not a smile: "Of course we have to wait for everyone to gather before we can start our journey."

Mingda then realized that the reason why the team returning to Beijing hadn't set off was probably waiting for her.So her pretty face couldn't help but blushed, and she wanted to say something, so she heard Xiao Song Zhen from the side say: "Yesterday, there was a cold wind at the festival, and the accompanying elders got hot at night. It’s not good, it’s not easy to set off, and it’s not easy to leave people behind.”

After hearing the child's serious explanation, Mingda knew that he was being teased by the emperor, and immediately glared at his imperial brother angrily: "The emperor's brother still doesn't understand what Ah Zhen is saying!"

Xiao Songzhen was praised, her back was straight, her eyes were clear, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

The emperor smiled and did not refute anything. He glanced at Mingda and then at Tang Zhao, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

Mingda was inexplicably embarrassed, ignored his royal brother, and sat down beside Tang Zhao.Not long after taking his seat, he asked again: "Then when will we set off, will we stay in the palace?"

The emperor shook his head, glanced outside, and it was snowing outside again: "When the weather improves in the afternoon, we will go back to Beijing."
