0313 The Queen's Sadness
After the Waking of Insects, the earth rejuvenates and the rain turns all things.
Thunderstorms fell in Pingcheng for several days, making everything revived and the earth full of vitality.
Seeing that the Spring Equinox was approaching, the palace began to prepare for the spring sacrifice. The Grand Master of the Congregation made a date. Three days later, the king led all civil and military officials to the ancestral hall to hold a spring plowing ceremony to pray for a year of good weather.
Bo Langjun promised Luo Jiaojiao to take her to the palace to participate in the sacrificial activities. Luo Jiaojiao was very happy to see her sister again.
The day before the sacrifice, Luo Jiaojiao followed Bo Langjun into the palace.
Luo Tianer was pregnant and needed someone to serve him, so Bo Langjun arranged for Luo Jiaojiao to serve her sister.
Luo Tianer was naturally extremely happy when she saw the girl. That night, Luo Jiaojiao and her sisters fell asleep and talked about everything.
The King of Dai had to sleep on the couch outside, feeling quite unhappy.
On the day of the sacrifice, Luo Jiaojiao followed the Dai Wang and his wife to the ancestral hall. All civil and military officials followed him and went together.
The Grand Master had been waiting in front of the ancestral hall. The Dai Wang and his wife held incense to worship their ancestors and the god of agriculture.
Bo Ji and Dou, along with three little princes and all the officials, also knelt down and worshipped devoutly.
The Grand Master then made a routine divination on the altar. The King of Dai went to shake the hexagram. The divination result was a good hexagram, which would lead to good weather and peace in the country and peace in the people.
Everyone was very happy, all officials retreated, leaving only the royal family.
The Grand Master began to divine the three princes. He looked at the hexagrams for a long time without saying a word.
The King of Dai and Bo Langjun came forward to ask for the hexagrams and the Grand Master had to spread his hands and present the three lines of the lines.
After seeing it, King Dai was shocked. He glanced at the second prince and Dou, and then threw the hexagram into the incense burner and burned it.
Princess Luo Tianer felt sad when she saw the expression and behavior of King Dai. She was forced to fight and was helped back to Deming Palace by Luo Jiaojiao.
Luo Jiaojiao was very puzzled when she saw her sister staying in bed after she came back. She didn't believe in divination, so she advised her sister to relax.
"Jiaojiao! It's all bad for my sister. She's been poisoned and tired of taking care of the children!" Luo Tianer lay on the bed and cried silently.
"It's not your fault! If you want to blame, blame the poisoned person! My master has found someone who can prepare the antidote. By then, you and the children will be fine!" Luo Jiaojiao tried her best to comfort her sister Luo Tianer.
King Dai sat in Bo Ji's Anqing Hall and was silent. His heart hurt so much that he could not go back to face Luo Tianer.
Bo Langjun didn't know how to comfort King Dai. He could only pour him a cup of tea.
Bo Ji changed her clothes and sat next to her son to comfort him.
"Some things will be faced sooner or later!" Bo Langjun had to tell the truth.
King Dai couldn't help crying after hearing this. He leaned in Bo Ji's arms like a child and cried.
"Treat her well! Cherish every day I'm with her!"
Bo Ji patted her son's back and secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. She also knew that her son had a deep relationship with Luo Tianer, and she could not be comforted by just a few words.
"The princess needs the most now is you! I will accompany you to Deming Palace!" Bo Langjun looked at the sky almost noon and stood up and said.
King Dai took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears on his face, tidied up his clothes, gave a bow to his mother's mother, and then walked out of Anqing Hall with Bo Langjun.
Luo Tianer could not let go, which made Luo Jiaojiao very anxious. Just when she was not sure what to do, King Dai walked into the inner room.
Luo Jiaojiao quickly stood up and saluted King Dai. King Dai waved his hand to her and signaled that she could leave.
Luo Jiaojiao left the inner room and saw Bo Langjun standing at the door of the hall waiting for him, so she hurriedly walked to his side.
"There will be nothing wrong with your sister with you!" Bo Langjun turned around to comfort Luo Jiaojiao when he heard the footsteps.
"My master and the Western Regions miracle doctors can develop an antidote!" Luo Jiaojiao's expression was a little sad.
"It will be developed! Let's go back!"
Bo Langjun patted Luo Jiaojiao on the shoulder, then turned around and walked towards the palace gate. Luo Jiaojiao followed Bo Langjun.
The two of them left the palace gate and got on the carriage and felt that their hearts were settled.
Bo Langjun hugged Luo Jiaojiao's shoulders and asked her to lean her head on her.
"No one knows what will happen tomorrow, right? So, we just need to cherish today!" Bo Langjun remembered what his sister Bo Ji said to the Dai Wang.
"Yeah! You're right!"
Luo Jiaojiao leaned against Bo Langjun's shoulder and closed her eyes. She felt that as long as Bo Langjun was there, her heart would be much more stable.
After they returned to Bo Mansion, it was lunch time. Luo Jiaojiao, who had always been greedy, only drank a bowl of rice porridge.
Bo Langjun has not eaten much, so he almost didn't move much of the meal on the whole table.
Jiang Yu couldn't bear to waste and brought a table of food to Li Zheng's house.
Li Zheng and Jiang Yu were eating and talking about Yang Zisheng being forced to marry. He said that the matchmaker was about to break the threshold of the Yang family.
"Didn't he fall in love with anyone?" Jiang Yu asked lowered his chopsticks.
"He said that he would not marry Luo Xiaoma! His father was so angry that he almost turned his back on his back! Guess what happened in the end?" Li Zheng grabbed a piece of meat and filled it into his mouth.
"He was kicked out of the house by his father?" Jiang Yu said casually.
"Ha! You're so good!" Li Zheng pointed Jiang Yu with chopsticks and smiled.
In the afternoon, Jiang Yu told Bo Langjun about this. After hearing this, Bo Langjun ordered Jiang Yu to continue to send someone to keep an eye on Yang Zisheng.
Yang Zisheng lived in the Guards' Camp and never returned to the Yang Mansion. He trained his Guards every day and never slacked off.
Since He Yuan saw Luo Jiaojiao following her sister to serve on the spring festival, she knew that this was the arrangement of Bo Langjun. He cared about Luo Jiaojiao so much that He Yuan's jealousy deepened.
When Dou observed his words and expressions, he had vaguely guessed the meaning of the high priest's hexagram. While she sighed for Luo Tianer, she was also happy for her children. After all, in an imperial family, the most important thing is that the mother is noble by her son.
The Prince Dai had a deep relationship with the princess. She no longer thought about him, but only thought about how to raise his own child and make him an outstanding prince.
After the spring festival, when Dou went to pay homage to Bo Ji, he mentioned finding an enlightenment teacher for the princes.
Bo Ji said that the child was still young, so let’s talk about it in two years. Dou did not force it, but went to the library to find a few books and took them back to read them by himself.
Although the second prince is young, he has a strong personality. No one can stop what he wants to do. So, he wants to see Yang Zisheng who was playing with him that day. But Yang Zisheng is not on duty today, so he pulled He Yuan's sleeve and made a fuss in front of Dou.
"Yang Zisheng?" Dou looked up at He Yuan in confusion.
"The guard guards of the palace, Yang Zucao's son! When he was patrolling that day, he met the second highman in the Imperial Garden and played with him for a while!"
He Yuan knelt down and replied to Dou. Of course, she could not tell her and Yang Zisheng about her secret with Dou. It can only be said that it was a coincidence.
"Take the token of the palace! Let him come to see the little prince!" Dou picked up his son and ordered He Yuan.
"yes!"
He Yuan took the token of leaving the palace and was overjoyed. She was worried that she would not have the chance to discuss with Yang Zisheng how to let Luo Jiaojiao leave the Bo Mansion. This time, she didn't have to find a way to meet Yang Zisheng.
Yang Zisheng, who was training in the Guards' camp, was shocked when he saw He Yuan. When he heard about her purpose, he immediately entered the palace with her. The two of them had a secret conversation along the way. Because they were too far away, Li Zheng, who was monitoring Yang Zisheng, did not hear the content of their conversation.
