Chapter 161 The Festival

"Do you mean that you secretly cultivated Zhixiang Siying in the back of the house, and you just want to give it to me after it blooms?" Huo Shan did not answer his question, so Huanxuan had to continue to test in a different way.

Huo Shan nodded, raised his finger to his lips, then waved his hand and pointed in the direction of the front of the house.

"I understand," Huanxuan said quietly, "Are you asking me not to tell anyone for the time being?"

Huo Shan nodded very hard, and even grinned at Huanxuan. However, because his face was wrapped in a thick cloth, as soon as he grinned, he quickly threw down the stone and held his face with both hands, with a painful expression in his eyes.

Huanxuan knew that this might be due to the pain caused by the wound, and he couldn't help asking with concern, "Are you all right, Huo Shan?"

After a while, Huo Shan seemed to get better. He put down his hands and shook his head.

Huanxuan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay. I really hope that by the next time I come back, your face injury will be almost cured."

Huo Shan nodded and turned around to cover the straw mat again.

Huanxuan followed him, stared at his every move, and suddenly said in a very cold tone, "When are you going to pretend... Yuancan?"

Huanxuan's sentence was originally for temptation. She wanted to surprise the other party, and then look at Huo Shan's reaction, but Huo Shan seemed to turn a deaf ear. After covering the straw mat tightly, she clapped her hands and stood up. She looked back at Huanxuan, and her face was full of confusion.

Huanxuan was helpless and had to say, "I'm playing with you. Let's go."

Huo Shan turned around and led the way in front.

He hesitated and finally glanced at the three words "give it to you". Huo Shan's handwriting is scribbled and clumsy. Compared with Yuan Can's, it is naturally a heaven and a ground. However, no matter how Huanling looks at it, he thinks that Huo Shan did it on purpose.

In those years, the three children were in the same class for several years. The characters of Zhuo Ruitong and Yuancan belong to each other. Zhuo Ruitong's pen skills tend to be straight and strong, while Yuan Can's are more delicate and handsome. It is because they are not indifferent to each other, they make Huanxuan's words. They are always looked down on by Mr. Qi Kangqi, and she has to be punished for copying books. .

Therefore, Huanxuan in those years gritted his teeth and claimed that she could recognize the words of Zhuo Ruitong and Yuancan even if they turned into ashes. The problem is that Huanxuan is too familiar with Yuancan's words. There is no possibility that she can't catch any clues. But Huo Shan's font is like twisting all Yuan Can's brushwork. Is Huo Shan really Yuan Can, deliberately facing her face, but pretending to be a stranger?

Huanying's doubts followed Huo Shan, but how could Huo Shan be unresponsive to his own temptation? Without any warning, under Huo Shan's defenseless circumstances, he suddenly called out Yuan Can's name and asked him how long he was going to pretend. If he was afraid that he would trembling in his heart. But she stared at it clearly, and Huo Shan was indeed indifferent.

Huanying chased after a few steps, pulled Huo Shan's sleeve and said, "Huo Shan, you haven't answered the question just now. Why is the flower you planted called Zhilan Siying?"

Huo Shan stopped and looked at her with another blank expression, which made Huanying more and more uncertain. He asked anxiously, "Where did you get the seeds of these flowers? I haven't heard of the flowers you planted."

Huo Shan stroked in front of Huanxuan for a long time.

Huanxuan looked at it carefully and understood a little, "It's a bearded man who gave it to you, didn't it?"

Huo Shan nod, and then ran around Huanying, making a look like he was pushing the car on the way, and then it seemed that he was begging, and then someone fell or died. He went to help. Because he seemed to want to say more and more, Huo Shan's movements became faster and faster, more and more busy, and Huanying was dizzy.

In desperation, Huanxuan had to interrupt Huo Shan and said, "Ok, okay, I know. You don't have to explain. In short, you helped others, and others gave it to you, right?"

Huo Shan nodded non-stop.

Huanxuan stared at Huo Shan for a long time. She didn't see anything special about Huo Shan's performance. She sighed faintly and said, "Well, Huo Shan, it's almost time. I have to go. You can plant flowers in the Wei Palace and take good care of yourself. If you have time, I will come to see you often."

After saying that, Huanxuan smiled at Huo Shan and left step by step.

Huo Shan saw Huanying leave. It was not until Huanying's figure disappeared for a long time that he picked up Huanying's tea cup on the small square table that only drank a few sips, splashed the tea cleanly, and raised it to his eyes to look carefully. There was still a faint red lips on the edge of the tea cup. Huo Shan stared at its eyes and slowly turned red. Huo Shan took out a silk handkerchief from his skirt, carefully wrapped the tea cup, and put it into his arms.

Huanxuan returned to the Liu Goblet Palace and stayed sullen for a long time. She couldn't say why she connected Huo Shan with Yuan Can, nor could she find any evidence that Huo Shan was Yuan Can. She really wanted to discuss with Zhuo Ruitong, but she was afraid that Zhuo Ruitong would laugh at her suspicious ghosts, and Zhuo Ruitong was busy sacrificing to heaven. Now there is no Time to take care of her unfounded conjecture.

Huanxuan was stunned alone and scrambled to come to the goblet palace to find her. In addition to telling Huanxuan to sacrifice the sky ceremony, some etiquette matters that should be paid attention to, etc., will also participate in the imperial clothes and crowns needed for the sacrifice of heaven, and also bring Huanxuan to the goblet palace.

Huanying took the opportunity to hold down Mei Zheng and asked him about the progress of Ji Yuguang's treatment for Huo Shan.

Mei Zheng told Huanxuan, "The current treatment progress is not bad, but the area of Huo Shan's face injury is too large, and it must be done step by step, otherwise Huo Shan's body will be unable to stand it. In this way, the treatment will take a long time. If you want to completely eliminate the scars on Huo Shan's face and remove the residual poison of Huo Shanzi, We have to wait until the beginning of spring next year.

Huanxuan said, "But I see that Huo Shan's voice is still hoarse and can't speak. It seems that the treatment is not good at all."

"Uh-huh" Mei Zheng explained, "It is difficult to have an effect in a short time by relying on drugs and acupuncture alone. Madam, you'd better be patient and wait for another month to see what happens."

"I'm worried that there is something wrong with Ji Yuguang's treatment method. It's not that I can't wait patiently," Huanying said with a little embarrassment: "Of course, it may also be my unfounded worry."

"What my wife is worried about, Dr. Thistle has long thought of it. After all, no one has treated this kind of rattan poison before, but worry is not good. Everything depends on Dr. Ji's own slowly groping and practicing slowly. As long as it does not endanger his life and will not bring any legacy to Huo Shan's body, I think I can It's not a big problem to be able to speak and when to speak. At least Huo Shan can still write, but it's not convenient to communicate. I am fighting for comfort and linger.

"Well, I know, just asking." Huanxuan turned around and put away the court uniform and crown in his hand, and sent Mei to compete out of the goblet palace. "Thank you for your hard work."

"Where, where," Mei said modestly, "It's my job to work for the Lord and his wife. I have to go to Lord Nie, so I won't delay much. Madam, please stay, and I will leave."

That night, Cui'er, who had served Ning Tang'er, was temporarily sent to the Liu Goblet Palace to serve Huanling. Not long after dinner, Huanxuan expected that Zhuo Ruitong would be too busy to pull himself. He would not come to the Liu Goblet Palace again, so he washed early and went to bed and had nothing to say anything.

On the fourth day of the second day, Cui'er woke up Huan Yuen, washed and cleaned up for a long time, and it was almost time to leave. Huan Yu knew that the whole process of the sacrificial ceremony was very long. If the ceremony was not completed, she could not go out to be included in the toilet, so she had to simply not enter the rice and dripping water.

Just as Huanxuan was about to go out, it happened that Nie Kong came to look for her and asked her to go to the altar together. The two got into the same carriage, slowly got out of the palace, passed through Weijun City, and drove towards the altar not far from Mrs. Jinxiu Temple.

It has been five days since I arrived at the altar, and the civil and military officials in the court have gathered. At this time, although the sky is still dark, the whole altar and the road in front of the altar are illuminated by lights, which looks magnificent.

Huanxuan and Nie Kong got out of the car one after another. Immediately, several courtiers came forward to talk to them. Before they said a word, they saw a crowd of people. Some people shouted loudly, "Wei Wang Luanyu is coming, and all the civil and military officials, pick them up quickly!"

Huan Ying, Nie Kong and the courtiers hurriedly knelt down on both sides of the road. For a moment, the drums and horns were loud and loud. Zhuo Ruitong's ceremonial team came slowly with Wang Kai in front and back. At a glance, they could not see the first and tail of the ceremonial team. Wang Qi was hunting and covering the sky. It was so magnificent.

Huan Xuan couldn't help whispering to Nie Kong beside him, "Our prince's posture today is comparable to that of the emperor."

Nie Kong laughed gently and said nothing. Luanyu passed by Huanxuan, and Huanxuan secretly looked up at the people in Luanyu. Zhuo Ruitong sat upright, dignified, extraordinary and did not squint. He was casually modest and different from each other in peace. Huanling couldn't help admiring in his heart that the hairy boy who loved to make trouble in those years was really grown up and mature and had an emperor. Although the real distance between Zhuo Ruitong and her has never been far away, at this moment, Huanling feels that Zhuo Ruitong is superior, but he is so humble.

Luanyu stopped in front of the altar, and the courtiers quickly got up and rushed to Luanyu. According to the order of the court, they lined up and knelt down. There were still many people around to watch the bustle. They bent down and kowtowed in black.

Zhuo Ruitong went down to Luanyu and slowly climbed the steps of the altar. Mei Zheng followed closely. The two finally stood at the highest place of the altar. After the shocking three earth-shaking voices, Mei Zheng announced the official beginning of the sacrificial ceremony.

Huanxuan buried his head deeply, and all this will be often experienced in the life of the palace in the future. Once her love with Yuan Can soon dispersed because of the prohibitions in the palace, as well as the conspiracy and power, so will her relationship with Zhuo Ruitong eventually be tortured to lifeless by the tedious palace etiquette?

It was not easy to survive until the sacrificiality was completed. Huanling had no energy to do anything anymore. She returned to the goblet palace and didn't even eat dinner, so she slept hard with her head covered.

Before he got up the next day, the door of the Goblet Palace was knocked hurriedly. Mei Zheng stood outside the door of the Goblet Palace with a solemn face and asked Cuier, who came to open the door, to inform Huanxuan that Wei Wang and Nie Kong were waiting for her in the study.

Huanxuan jumped out of bed, cleaned up carelessly, and hurried to Zhuo Ruitong's study. A military newspaper was placed on Zhuo Ruitong's desk. Seeing Huanxuan coming, Zhuo Ruitong's silent general newspaper was handed to Huanxuan.

"What? King Wu's army's offensive on the southern line was extremely fierce. It has occupied more than a dozen cities in a month, which is very unfavorable to us. Huanxuan closed the military newspaper and said worriedly.
