Chapter 21 First Seven [3]
At night, it arrived in the blink of an eye.
Because of the request of Nangong Bingyu and the appearance of His Royal Highness Yanyue, the consent of the prime minister finally asked Her Majesty to hold the first seven sacrifices for Bitian in the royal palace, and also informed all the male concubines in the harem to attend.
And the place of the ritual is the palace where Bitian lived before.
The quadrangle courtyard where she lives is surrounded by white silk.
In the empty place in the center, there is a altar, and there are dozens of snacks on the table. In the surrounding corners, there are fire trays for lighting.
Two oversized white candles were placed on the altar. Unexpectedly, there was no snow tonight, but because of a small snow during the day, the ground has been covered. As long as you walk forward, you will still leave a footprint on the snow-white ground.
Her Majesty has arrived at the scene. On her left is Jiang E, the prime minister, and on her right is her own princess Yanyue.
Looking at the layout of the scene, Her Majesty felt a burst of hair in her heart. After all, the environment around here was actually based on white. Even the underground became a large area of white because of the snow, and the surrounding atmosphere was quiet and there was no sound.
"Yueer, do you know what Mrs. Qiu is doing?" Her Majesty frowned and asked in a low voice.
Yanyue was also looking at the surrounding environment. Hearing the mother's inquiry, she quickly replied, "I don't know. When Bingyu came to find her son, she just asked her to hold the first seven sacrifices for the dead Bitian in the palace. She didn't say anything else."
"Your Excellency, do you see, is there anything wrong with this?"
Jiang E smiled and replied respectfully, "Weichen thinks Mrs. Qiu Bingxu is smart."
"What's the solution to this?" Her Majesty was puzzled.
Jiang E cleared her throat and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, you don't know that the child in Mrs. Qiu's womb is walking in your majesty's study. If the owner of the Qingmyo Villa is angry and moves his anger to the Arctic royal family, it will definitely bring disaster to the Arctic royal family!" Although Qiu Zhuangzhu is just a small Zhuangzhu, he knows many people in the world. It can be said that if Mrs. Qiu hadn't trusted us and knew that we didn't do it. Otherwise, she will not stay so calmly in the palace and have to find out what has come out. The reason why Weichen agreed to hold a memorial ceremony for the Bitian lady tonight is that he could only cooperate with Mrs. Qiu to find out the behind-the-scenes black hand, so as not to let the owner behind the black hand get two birds with one stone!"
Her Majesty is not stupid. When Jiang E woke up, she suddenly came over, "Do you mean that someone wants to destroy the alliance between our Arctic country and the Nangong family?"
"Yes."
Her Majesty has a calm face, no longer saying anything, and looks thoughtful. Then he turned his head and left without saying where he was going. Yanyue saw that the mother's face was not very good, and she did not dare to say anything more. After looking at the prime minister, she stopped talking and could only leave with the mother.
Time passed minute by, and the male concubines in the harem came one by one.
Nangong Bingyu looked at the handsome men who came in one by one. Originally, they would dress up like women. But when I saw them, I was greatly surprised!
Sure enough, this is the world of beautiful men.
Told, handsome, soft, well-dressed, weak, gloomy, cold...
She was dazzled. The men were like evil beings, each with their own charm and amorous feelings, which made her sigh in her heart. This is indeed a veritable - the male concubine's harem!
It seems that Her Majesty is really blessed to have all kinds of men to sleep with every night. Instead of being scolded as a woman, she is called Her Majesty!
It's a pity that although all this is envied, it won't really make her excited. She still likes to stay alone.
Qiu Yang stood beside her and looked at the large man staring at her without blinking, feeling a little unhappy, "Yuer!"
“......”
Nangong Bingyu stood there dumbfoundedly.
"Yuer!"
“......”
Nangong Bingyu's eyes still didn't blink, and there was still no response to his call.
Qiu Yang was angry, reached out to hold her face, moved to himself, and stared at her with a bad face, "What are you looking at?"
"Hmm?" Nangong Bingyu was shocked by his behavior. He recalled the question he asked and shook his head, "I didn't see anything."
"I didn't see anything? Then why don't you blink your eyelids when you look at those men, like a stupid girl?
"No, okay, I'm just surprised."
"Really?"
"Really. I promise."
"Isn't there any fantasies?" Qiu Yang raised a smile, but that smile made Nangong Bingyu's heart furious.
At this time, don't admit it. He knows her.
With a long sigh, he whispered, "There is..."
"Hmm!"
After Qiu Yang snorted coldly, his hands suddenly let go of her face and walked to the bubble next to him, leaving her alone.
Nangong Bingyu looked at Qiu Yang's back in astonishment and said to himself, "No way? Really angry? However, it is normal for so many handsome men to have an involuntary brain. Although I'm not a nymphomaniac, it's normal to suddenly see so many things and be dizzy by the dazzling beauty in front of me~"
As soon as her words fell, a woman in the distance shouted loudly, "Your Majesty is there!"
A shout broke the quiet night tonight, and everyone knelt down on one knee to welcome Her Majesty.
Her Majesty is followed by Her Royal Highness Yan Yue, 13 Prince Jing Chen, and then the prime minister Jiang E.
The male concubines said with one voice, "Your Majesty, long live your majesty!"
"Let's get up."
Her Majesty glanced at the male concubines and said majestically, "Today, everyone is here to make the first seven sacrifices for Bitian, the most trusted female official around me. A few days ago, something happened in the palace, and everyone must know what happened. The owner of the Nangong family was a guest in the lonely study. When he was a guest, he drank a cup of special tea, which led to the mainstream production of the Nangong family. This incident made me very angry! The person who served tea to the head of the Nangong family was Bitian. When she was looking for Bitian to inquire, she found that she had died in the backyard of the study. At that time, the imperial doctor's examination showed that she took poison, so she was accused of committing suicide.
The male concubines looked at me one after another, and I looked at you one after another, whispering, but no one dared to deal with Her Majesty's words.
Nangong Bingyu stood quietly next to the altar, looking at the male concubine among the crowd, looking for the Yingfei mentioned by He Shiwei.
Generally speaking, when you hear Her Majesty speak like this, you are either calm or nervous. You are afraid that such a big hat will hang on your head. It's really hard to eat and walk away.
The whole family is accused of killing, but it can't be run away!
But five of the concubines present did not talk to anyone.
is the first one on the right side, which gave her the first impression of a heroic man; the one in the middle is a handsome man, who is of the same type as Qiu Yang; the last one on the left side, which makes people feel like a sissy, because if she hadn't seen that his chest was flat, Nangong Bingyu would have thought he was a woman. What about it!
That waist is really very thin, it seems to be almost the same as your own, right?
There are also two standing behind, because they are a little far away, and they are not like modern lights. With the dim fire bonfire, they can only barely see their height, which is about 1.5 meters to 1.8 meters, and their appearance is not clear at all.
These five people did not change their faces about what Her Majesty said, and they still had a calm smile on their faces, but lowered their eyes and did not look at Her Majesty.
Her Majesty looked at the male concubines and then said, "It's a guess to commit suicide for fear of crime. Later, a coroner examined Bitian's body and found that Bitian did not commit suicide, but killed him!"
The male concubine, one by one, looked surprised and a little timid, had already leaning on the men beside her, trembling.
"I can't know who the real murderer is, because Bitian is dead and the dead can't speak. Therefore, I am grateful to Bitian, who has been taking care of Gu's life over the years and has never brought any trouble to him. Today is her first seven, and Gu should be a pillar of incense for her."
Her Majesty said so, of course, the concubines did not dare to disagree and said in unison, "Your Majesty is magnificent!"
Many sacrifices have been placed on the altar. Of course, there is also a large incense burner. Nangong Bingyu is dressed in plain clothes, because she is wearing white clothes and a long filial hat, which covers her whole face. Seeing Her Majesty turn to the altar, Nangong Bingyu quickly lit the incense column and handed it to the woman. In front of His Majesty.
When she took over the incense pillar, Her Majesty exchanged glances with her, and then bowed to the spiritual position on the altar with apology and stopped. She was the king, and it was enough to bow to her ministers.
Three lines, which are only a courtesy to the ancestors of the emperor.
When Nangong Bingyu was about to come forward to take over the incense column in her hand, Her Majesty shook her head, "Bi was born to be loyal to me. I should personally serve this fragrance for her."
After saying that, she took the incense column and came to the incense burner in front of the altar and whispered, "Bitian, rest in peace."
Her Majesty has finished it, and she made a good start, and then followed Her Majesty the heroic man.
He strode to Nangong Bingyu and whispered to her, "Please give me the incense column."
"Good."
handed the incense to him, and the heroic man frankly saluted the spiritual position of the blue sky. Like Her Majesty, he put the incense column on the incense burner, and then returned to the position he had just stood and stood there as if there was no one else, making people unable to ignore his existence.
The male concubines came forward one by one to get incense sticks, ready to give fragrance to the blue sky.
At this time, a gust of wind blew over and blew out the two pairs of white candles on the eclipse.
Everyone only felt the cold wind blowing, which made everyone's hearts hang up. At this time, a shadow appeared on the high roof.
When the whole shadow appeared, there were sharp-eyed people among the concubines and suddenly panicked and shouted, "Oh, my God! Is that Lord Bitian?"
