After breakfast, the couple went to the Liuxuan Courtyard to pick up the concubine.

Outside the courtyard gate, I met Mr. Qiao and Princess Kangren.

Mr. Qiao is wearing a dark blue Jifu and a phoenix crown on her head, which is a three-dragon and two-phoenix crown.

There are also various kinds of jewelry piled up, but they are not as gorgeous as Jiang Changning's phoenix crown.

Looking at Jiang Changning, who was wearing a dark red auspicious suit embroidered with Luan and Phoenix patterns, a flash of jealousy flashed in Qiao's eyes.

After getting on the carriage at the Yimen, King Jin held Jiang Changning's hand and told her again, "Don't be afraid, I will take care of everything."

Although he arranged for someone, he was still worried.

"I'm not afraid. Don't worry. I won't make mistakes during the sacrifice. I will pay attention to everything. During the dinner, I will stay with my mother and concubine. I will never be alone. I will never give it to someone with ulterior motives who can take advantage of it.

Machine."

Of course Jiang Changning knew that this was a good time for the emperor to take action against her.

The palace is the emperor's territory, so she had already asked Shu Fei to find a way to contact the people installed in the palace and take precautions.

Prince Jin lowered his head and looked at Jiang Changning's slender fingers, the look in his eyes becoming more determined.

"I asked the small kitchen to make some pastries and put them in a food box. You asked Chang Youzhong to carry them and eat them after the festival. Don't starve."

After entering the ancestral temple, they had to separate and not meet until the dinner party.

King Jin smiled. He liked Jiang Changning's concern and concern very much. He leaned forward and pecked Jiang Changning on the lips.

When you arrive at the ancestral temple, enter the temple according to the rules of men on the left and women on the right.

The men's side is divided into three teams, one team is from the royal family, led by King Jin. Although King Qing, King Ding and King De are his uncles, they put the country first and the family second.

The second team is Xungui, led by the Queen's natal Sui Guogong, followed by Zheng Guogong, Zhao Guogong...

The third team is composed of officials, led by the Zhengyipin Grand Master.

The married women were also divided into three teams. The first team was led by Princess Jin, followed by Princess Yu, Princess Qing, Princess Ding, and Princess De.

The leader of the other team is the eldest princess of Jiashan, followed by three eldest princesses, four eldest princesses, then the princess, the county lord, and the township monarch.

The third team was led by the Taifu's wife, the Taifu's wife and other officials' wives.

Jiang Changning stood behind Princess De, and behind her was Princess Yu Zhao Xifang. Song Yirou was separated from them by several people, and Mrs. Qiao was further behind.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the Queen Mother and the Empress came down surrounded by chamberlains and imperial guards.

They stood in front of the married woman. Imperial concubines and concubines were not qualified to come.

The Minister of Taichang Temple presided over the ceremony and said loudly: "We have finished calming the gods, and I would like to invite your Majesty to pay homage."

The emperor, wearing an azure robe, walked onto the main altar.

"The Queen, I have been ordered to accompany the sacrifice."

The Queen Mother is revered as the Queen Mother in the name of the Emperor's biological mother, not the late Emperor's queen.

During the sacrifice, she was still a concubine and a concubine.

According to the etiquette and laws of this dynasty, concubines and concubines cannot be used as sacrifice accompaniments.

When the queen stood beside the emperor, the Taichang Temple minister said: "Six sacrifices."

The six animals are passed up from the last person's hand.

Although I knew that there was a high probability that Zhao Xifang would not be so ignorant that she would play tricks on the sacrifice.

But Jiang Changning was still very careful. When he turned around to take something from her hand, he stared into her eyes.

But just like that, when picking up the chicken, Zhao Xifang let go before Jiang Changning could completely take it.

Fortunately, Jiang Changning was always on guard. The tray fell a little, but Jiang Changning managed to stabilize himself.

Jiang Changning said silently: "I am the only one in the Jiang family. It would be worth it for you to have a big family."

Zhao Xifang's expression changed slightly, Jiang Changning turned around and handed the tray to Princess De.

When he turned back, Jiang Changning raised his eyebrows, "If you are barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, you can give it a try."

"No need." Zhao Xifang just wanted to scare Jiang Changning and had no intention of actually causing trouble, but now she was frightened by the ruthless-looking Jiang Changning.

Until the end of the festival, Zhao Xifang did not dare to cause trouble again.

The emperor and empress left first, and the others, led by the eunuchs, exited the ancestral temple.

After leaving the ancestral temple, there was no need to queue up. Jiang Changning hurriedly stepped forward to help the concubine and handed her a piece of pastry, "It's red date cake."

"Why do you still carry cakes with you?" Toffee frowned.

"I'm afraid of being hungry." Jiang Changning quickly stuffed the cake into his mouth.

The concubine was also hungry. After hesitating for a moment, she followed her instinct and ate the cake.

Mrs. Qiao and Princess Kangren also came over. Jiang Changning did not give Mrs. Qiao any pastry, but gave Princess Kangren a piece, "Eat quickly."

Princess Kangren was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and carefully looked at the cake in her hand, raised her lips, and ate the cake quickly.

On the way to Fushou Palace, Jiang Changning whispered to the concubine: "Mother concubine, the prince asked you to bring some food into the palace. Let's find a place to eat."

The concubine looked at her with a straight face, "Did the prince ask you to take him?"

"I asked the prince and he agreed." Jiang Changning said.

The concubine smiled, it was not the first time she came to the festival, King Jin never asked anyone to prepare food.

When the eldest son was here, Mrs. Qiao never asked.

The concubine glared at Mrs. Qiao displeasedly, completely forgetting that when she was the princess, she never asked anyone to prepare food.

She could also ask her servants to prepare food now, but she didn't. But she is the mother-in-law, so she doesn't have to do things, but her daughter-in-law can't.

"Go to Changyi Palace." The concubine said.

Next to Fushou Palace, Changyi Palace was used to house concubines, but after the Chenglong disaster, there were no concubines and it was left vacant. Whenever a banquet was held in the palace, it would be cleared out to let the female relatives who came to the palace for the banquet rest.

The female family members of the Jin Palace must and must have a separate house for them to rest.

The person who was always in charge of the food box was Xiao Chun. She took out the food and put it on the table, then retreated behind Jiang Changning and reported in a low voice: "Princess, the food box has never left the hands of this slave."

"Well done." Jiang Changning smiled.

The meals are all in small portions, including dried meat, dried fruits, pastries, and tremella and wolfberry soup.

Jiang Changning had someone make a thermal box. After three hours, the soup was still warm.

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I didn't remember that you don't like white fungus soup, so I won't give it to you." Jiang Changning scooped out a bowl for the concubine, Princess Kangren and himself.

"I won't eat." Mrs. Qiao glared at Jiang Changning angrily and retracted her hand to take the cake, "I'm not hungry."

If she doesn't want to eat, she won't eat. She doesn't care.

Jiang Changning placed a bowl of soup in front of the concubine, "Mother, please drink a bowl of soup first to moisten it."

The concubine picked up the soup and took a sip. It was thick and delicious, not sweet and not greasy, "Not bad."

Princess Kangren looked at the soup and swallowed her saliva. The concubine didn't have it, could she drink it?

"Kangren, drink some soup." Jiang Changning urged.

"Oh." Princess Kangren picked up the bowl and took a big sip. Her thirsty throat was immediately moisturized, so comfortable!

There are four people in the Jin Palace, two painting styles, three are eating cakes and drinking sweet soup, and one is sitting expressionless.
