The departure of the ceremonial guard headed by Cheng Huaiye looked really spectacular.

The place for this sacrifice is outside Qijing, around the imperial mausoleum. It is a place where the Cheng family has worshiped their ancestors and prayed for blessings for generations. It is usually not opened except on important days, for fear of disturbing the souls of the previous emperors, but

This time because of Cheng Huaiye's suggestion, I had no choice but to open it.

It took half an hour to get there from the capital. After sitting there, Xu Anan finally felt better. She had heard that she got pregnant on the first time, but when she came here, her aunt came...

It's really amazing.

She had a stomachache and a slight nausea. She looked at Cheng Huaiye, who was sitting upright on one side, and said pitifully: "Your Majesty, please let me lean against you, just for a moment."

Cheng Huai also glanced at her and refused coldly: "No."

"..."

Okay, she doesn't have the guts to do it.

Her head was drooping, her stomach ached, and her lower body ached. She didn't even have to guess. She accidentally slept with him after being drunk. She obviously heard that he felt good. Besides being painful, she even

They all wondered if Cheng Huai also stabbed her with something in revenge.

She rubbed her belly with her hands and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you didn't stab me with anything last night, did you? Why does my body hurt so much?"

His memory of last night was a little fuzzy, but the previous night was enough to make him ashamed. He had never seen such a bold woman as Xu Anan.

As soon as she said these words, his cold face seemed to be flushed again. He took a deep breath and said, "I don't have any bad taste in stabbing people."

Xu Anan felt aggrieved: "Then why did I have my period this morning?"

"How do I know?"

Xu Anan wrinkled her nose, this was so painful, she would never do it again.

Perhaps her mood was too low, which finally aroused some pity from Cheng Huaiye. He asked uncomfortably: "Does it really hurt?"

Xu Anan was not in good spirits and whispered angrily: "It's not you who was stabbed. You definitely can't feel it."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

This woman's words always made him think twice. He pulled Xu Anan over and put his big palm on her belly. Xu Anan felt warm in her belly for a moment.

Cheng Huai also asked in a cold voice: "Are you feeling better?"

It was his own fault and it had nothing to do with her, so Xu Anan leaned against him even more. The human flesh cushion was so good that her stomach pain was relieved a little.

"It's getting better, let's warm it up a little bit."

The way the two of them were so close together fell into the eyes of the accompanying eunuchs. This concubine Ming was really favored. The emperor did not even take the queen with him, but took her with him despite all the opinions.

With the title of the enchanting concubine who brought disaster to the country, she will definitely sit firmly in her position over time.

The behavior of the two people soon spread to everyone behind them.

From the close relationship between the two, when the news reached Taifu Yu, it was the Emperor and Concubine Ming who were hugging and kissing intimately in the chariot.

He was so angry that his beard almost flew off. The demon concubine is harming the country, the demon concubine is harming the country!

He was really afraid that Cheng Huai would follow the old path of the late emperor and become a faint-hearted emperor who only cared about drinking and debauchery and ignored government affairs. This was so unseemly even outside, but he didn't know how to behave in the palace.

Taifu Yu was very sad. He had even seen Da Qi's future. He felt depressed and unhappy for a while.

Xu Anan had already arrived at her destination when she woke up. She could have continued sleeping if the man beside her hadn't woken her up. She rubbed her eyes and stepped out of the car. Cheng Huai also covered her all the way. She already felt so good.

too much.

Although it still hurts, it's much better than when I couldn't walk at the beginning.

She looked at the sky. It was very clear and cloudless. It was a good weather and suitable for sleeping in.

Compared with her calmness, the veterans who followed her were really worried. Is this really a day suitable for rain? They didn't expect the rain in Youzhou to alleviate the drought. Just two drops here would be good.

.

Cheng Huai also ignored Xu An'an after getting off the car. He walked forward on his own. Xu An'an felt her sleeves being pulled. She turned around and saw Cheng Qingqiu wearing a luxurious princess costume.

She glanced at Cheng Huaiye's back, and then looked at Xu An'an, with worry in her words: "Sister-in-law, my brother didn't do anything to you last night, right? Did he hit anyone?"

Xu Anan's face was expressionless: "It hurt a lot."

Cheng Qingqiu was immediately filled with righteous indignation. She raised her fists angrily and said, "My royal brother is violent! You didn't do anything yesterday, but you really made me mad. Yesterday, I risked my life to rescue you."

That’s it.”

Xu Anan glanced at her with a smile: "So, where were you yesterday?"

Cheng Qingqiu felt guilty: "Yesterday I wanted Brother Chang'an to rescue you, but he called me away and took me to eat candied haws and osmanthus cake, and then sent me back to the palace..."

Okay, her safety is not as important as candied haws and sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

Cheng Qingqiu has a strong desire to survive: "I'm really worried about you, but brother Chang'an said that my emperor brother is angry and needs to vent his anger."

After saying that, he glanced at Cheng Huaiye again and praised Xu Anan: "Sister-in-law, you are so awesome. My brother was so fierce when he came in yesterday. The cold light in his eyes was so scary. How did you coax him?

The effect is so good, not only is he no longer angry now, but he also brought you to sacrifice."

Xu Anan: "..."

Are you kidding me? Her whole body is about to be torn apart.

The sacrifice was completely made by him without knowing what he was doing, so he forced her to do it.

Seeing Xu Anan's silence, Cheng Qingqiu was afraid that Xu Anan would not take her out in the future. She asked anxiously: "Sister-in-law, shall we leave the palace next time?"

Leaving the palace...

I have to say that it was quite pleasant up until now, and she didn’t refuse all at once. She said vaguely: “Let’s talk about it next time.”

Cheng Qingqiu was instantly relieved that there was still a possibility of leaving the palace, and he happily took Xu Anan and walked away together.

In the direction leading to the sacrifice is a high platform with a large table on it, a purple and gold tripod in the middle, and the sacrifices are surrounded by burning incense.

The long steps were covered with red carpets, and Cheng Huai also stepped onto the steps. His black and gold wide-sleeved gown was luxurious and shimmered in the sunlight.

All the people surrendered and knelt at the bottom of the steps. Cheng Huai, who was above him, also knelt on the futon in front of the table. His voice was light and distant, spreading throughout the world.

"Cheng Shi Huai also dared to declare to the Emperor of Heaven. It was the winter of the year and the beginning of the Sixth Anniversary. He respected the ceremony and led his officials to pray for heaven to bring sunshine and rain to alleviate the drought in Youzhou. I pray that in the coming year, all five will be able to ascend.

, the common people rely on you.

Then I respectfully offered silk sacrifices and rice to fill the common people's goods, and prepared this fire to sacrifice to God. I will serve the emperor as his companion, and I will enjoy it."

After saying that, Cheng Huai also stood up, and a eunuch respectfully brought a bowl of water.

Cheng Huai also took it and poured it into the purple golden cauldron.

He looked at the piles of beef and mutton next to the firewood pile, and a eunuch immediately handed him a torch.
