Shu Yan was usually bored at the Chancellor's desk, handling official duties and drafting documents. He hadn't moved his muscles and bones for a long time. Today, he worked hard and sweated all over. He felt refreshed. In addition, seeing that the emperor was so weak, he still insisted on observing the ceremony.

I was very happy to do the farming according to the regulations of the system. When I returned to the restaurant that night, I simply cooked some food and ate it. I was very happy.

His interest has not diminished, but there is no one around him who can share his excitement at this moment. Although Ye Chong, since he became the good wine minister, he has been in line with his nature, soaking in the good wine department every day, and often getting drunk.

What can I tell him? So naturally I thought of Xiao Mo again: "This guy...it's time to come back!"

The earth is getting warmer, and everything is sprouting. Outside the window, the orchid grass that Shu Yan and Zhi Xin picked orchids to give medicine has grown new buds. Somehow, every time he sees this orchid grass, he feels full of power, especially in life.

, when you encounter setbacks in the officialdom, look at it and you will have the motivation to overcome everything.

The newly sprouted orchid grass made Shu Yan even more excited, and the loneliness after Xiao Mo left made him feel lost and uneasy. He picked up the sword left by Xiao Mo, walked to the courtyard, and danced wildly, putting his own cultivation into full play.

Let all your excitement flow out. Practice until you are exhausted, then wash yourself and go to bed.

He lay on the bed and guessed: Biyu must be exhausted today, and he should be surrounded and cared for by a group of servants. He has never been served by anyone in his life. He can't imagine a healthy person with hands and feet.

, why is it necessary for others to take care of your daily life?

When he got up the next day, his legs felt a little sore. "Is this okay?" he thought to himself. It was all because he had been inactive for a long time. After doing so much work and dancing with the sword for so long, his legs unexpectedly became weak.

Acidity. This has never happened before. This is no good. Starting from tomorrow, I have to exercise every morning. A young man can’t do anything without good muscles and bones! From then on, he had to get up early every morning to dance.

Use the sword once, and then do other things.

After plowing, it is time to prepare silkworms. In fact, since the establishment of the Jin Dynasty, the emperor plowing has been held every year, but the queen has never held it. This year is the first time. The emperor plows the main road, and the queen

The first silkworm belongs to Kun Dao, and both of them should be indispensable. However, due to various reasons, the first silkworm belongs to Kun Dao.

Etiquette has been abolished for a long time, and it was like this before the establishment of the Jin Dynasty. Since last year, a minister has reported to the emperor: Your Majesty is sage, wise and benevolent. He has practiced the etiquette of the ancestors and cultivated his land personally. The queen should also embody the virtue of supporting students. But now Kun Dao has not

Guang, the silkworm ceremony is still lacking, which violates the etiquette system, so I sincerely request the emperor to restore the silkworm ceremony as soon as possible.

Sima Yan also agreed deeply after hearing this and immediately prepared to implement it. Silkworm ceremony has not been held for a long time. As a formal and grand auspicious ceremony, it cannot be held just by talking about it. There are many things that need to be done in the meantime.

There is a lot of preparation work. In addition to strictly following the etiquette and familiarizing yourself with the series of steps, you also need to build a series of hardware facilities. First of all, you must

There must be a Silkworm Palace with twenty-seven silkworm rooms. There must be a Silkworm Palace Order and a Silkworm Palace Prime Minister in charge. Of course, these officials in the Silkworm Palace are also filled by eunuchs. In addition, a silkworm altar must be built. This altar

It is one zhang high and two zhang square, with steps for the stage on all sides. In addition to the Silkworm Palace, the Silkworm Altar, there is also a mulberry picking altar, and today, there is also a Curtain Palace for the Queen to rest.

Just like farming, the silkworm industry is not just a symbolic way of persuading women all over the world. The silk produced by it also has a practical use, which is to make sacrificial clothes.

The Jitian is in the eastern suburbs of Luoyang City, and the mulberry picking forest is opposite to the Jitian in the western suburbs of Luoyang City. The Xiancan team was led by Queen Yang Zhi, who led the emperor's concubines, princesses, duchess and ladies with titles, and also

There are some female ministers in the harem, etc., all of whom are women.

On the mulberry day, before the Queen arrives, the Silkworm Palace must first offer sacrifices to the Silkworm God. There are two Silkworm Gods, namely Lady Yuan'ao and Princess Yu. The Silkworm Gods have been the same throughout the dynasties, but the specifications for sacrifices are different. Han Dynasty

At that time, the standard of sacrificing silkworms for the queen was one level lower than that of the emperor for plowing the silkworms himself. For plowing the silkworms himself, he used Tailao, while for the silkworms he first used less lao. In the Jin Dynasty, the standards for sacrificing silkworms for the queen were raised, and it was the same as for the emperor to plow the silkworms himself.

On the auspicious day, Queen Yang Zhi dressed up according to the etiquette, wearing twelve hairpins, green clothes, and a green umbrella cover, and rode an oil-painted mica-mounted carriage driven by six horses. The six-horse carriage was the highest standard of carriage, except for the emperor and his wife.

Except for the Queen, no one has the qualifications

The driving standards are so high that the person driving the car is not an ordinary person, but the wife of Tai Puqing, one of the nine ministers. The Taipu is responsible for the emperor's carriages and horses, and when the emperor travels, he serves as the emperor's charioteer. In this way

Speaking of which, his wife as queen

It is natural that the royal charioteer should be employed as a charioteer. In addition to high-level drivers, the passengers are also the wives of generals with a higher status. It can be seen that no matter how high the status is, they are all slaves in front of the emperor. In addition,

, and the palace female minister

Wearing a Diao Chan and a seal ribbon, she accompanied her on the ride. Except for the Queen, the other concubines and princesses all rode in three carriages. The remaining married women and the wives of the princes all followed behind in their husbands' standard cars.

Each vehicle carries hooks, baskets and other items used for picking mulberry.

Although all those participating in the Silkworm Ceremony are women, they must also be escorted by men along the way. The Luoyang Order is at the front of the convoy to guide the convoy, and there are also Sili Xiaowei, Huben guards, and Habayashi generals in the convoy to escort the entire convoy.

Thousands of horses were riding in the middle of the royal road, and the common people in and outside the city were hiding on both sides to watch the grand scene. However, the chariots of these women's families were more tightly covered, so outsiders could only see the grand scene, but not the things inside.

people.

In the middle of the procession, the seventeenth princess was sitting on an oil-painted carriage. She heard the rustling of carriages and horses outside and the shouts of the Tiger and Guard troops. She knew that there must be many people on both sides and it was very lively. She had been bored in the palace for a long time.

This is what happened today

How could she resist such an opportunity to leave the palace? After all, she was still young, so she secretly opened the curtains and looked out. She saw the houses and pavilions on both sides of the street were staggered, the wine flags and door plaques were bright, and the people walking on the street

It was even more bustling.

"Wow, how lively it is!" Princess Seventeen sighed.

"The whole world belongs to my Sima family, but it's a pity that I rarely see it." Although the scenery in the palace is nice, it is boring to death: the buildings are all high-rise halls, gold tiles and red walls; the characters are all palace maids and eunuchs; the clothes are

All silk

She looked at the various people, clothes, carriages and buildings on the street, dazzled as if she had just arrived in the world. There were many people crowded in front of a large store, and the sign in front of the door read "Shui Zhi Tang"

Three words. "As water as fat"

, it must be a shop that sells rouge and gouache." Princess Seventeen thought, and looked inside, but there were three people standing inside the shop door, blocking her view, one with yellow hair, one with black hair, and two maids surrounded by one.

A young man. Although she is a maid, she is

Not worse than the figures in the palace. Look at that young man again - hey, isn't this the young man who sat with Xiao Mo and Shu Shangshu Lang at the royal banquet? Thinking of Xiao Mo teasing him about choosing the consort,

The seventeenth princess suddenly blushed.

This scene happened to be seen by Bi Yu. Today was Bi Yu's holiday. He, A Miao and A Yan came from Shuizhi Tang at home to choose some powder, but unexpectedly they caught up with Queen Xian Can's car.

The curtains on other cars were all tightly covered, but this one not only did not cover it, but actually lifted the curtain himself.

Biyu looked at the car driving away and thought: "I don't know who this beautiful palace lady is. In terms of appearance, she is not inferior to A Miao and A Yan around me. But judging from her age and attire, she should not be the imperial concubine."

And the palace maid, is she a princess?"

It was the windy season. Biyu was daydreaming, when suddenly a gust of wind blew open the curtain of another two-horse carriage passing by, in which sat a noble lady and a young woman.

The girl stretched out her jade hands and hurriedly closed the car curtain that was blown open by the wind.

At this moment, her eyes met with those of Biyu. This girl met a young man for the first time. When they looked at each other briefly, they felt a little embarrassed in a hurry, but they soon regained their composure and were still calm.

But at this moment, Biyu was frozen on the spot, and he could not recover for a long time. Why? Biyu himself didn't know very well. This girl was beautiful, but not just because of her beauty.

It seemed that there was a long-lost feeling, or something familiar, or a feeling of destiny. In short, he couldn't tell it himself. Numb.

After a long while, he looked at the car and realized that it was not a royal car, so he thought: "Whose lady is this? It's like a fairy descending from heaven. What luck did I have today? Not only did I meet a beautiful princess, but also a beautiful princess.

A fairy lady..." Thinking about it this way, look at A Miao and A Yan next to you. Maybe you are used to seeing them, but they don't have any color at all!

Ever since he got the news that Zhixin fell into the water and died, Biyu was deeply shocked, as if he had been stabbed by a knife. Although Zhixin was as cold as ice to him, and although there was an insurmountable gap between them, maybe it was

Because of the floating egg on the Shangsi Festival, perhaps because of the coincidence that they were born on the same day in the same year, he also knew that it was impossible for him to marry a concubine from a poor family, and she would not be willing to marry him, but...

In the past two years since he came to Luoyang, many people have tried to match him. Of course, the women were all daughters of wealthy families in Luoyang City, but without exception, Biyu would refuse. I don't know where this resentment comes from.

Out of yearning for Zhixin

Forgot? How could it be possible for a dead poor woman? He himself didn't want to admit it? Is it because there were two gentle, considerate, romantic and charming maids around him? I don't know, anyway, his physical and mental fire was vented on

A Miao, A Yan.

But today, he accidentally spied two beauties, which made his heart tremble and make him feel guilty. "Guan Guan Jiu Jiu, in Hezhizhou. My fair lady, a gentleman likes to be brave." - The princess naturally didn't dare to hope too much.

, but with my family background and appearance, that other girl should be desirable, right?
