Contract Prince

Chapter 10 ancestor worship

Gu's ancestral hall is located in the side courtyard of Houfu, with cypress trees as the screen and stone lions guarding it.Different from the ancestral halls in the homes of ordinary princes and generals, the architectural style of the Gu family ancestral hall is extremely simple and gloomy. When you walk into it, you can feel a kind of vicissitudes covered by wind and dust.

The servants waited outside, Gu Yunjing helped Xiao Muxue into the ancestral hall.There are more than 20 portraits hanging on the walls, all of whom are dressed in military uniform and look heroic, with their names and great achievements marked on the side of the portraits.

Correspondingly, more than 20 black-painted positions are arranged in an orderly manner on the case table, which looks solemn and solemn.

After Gu Yunjing saluted respectfully to the elders of the clan, she lit a few sticks of incense, knelt on the futon, and kowtowed to the spirit tablet.Each spiritual position needs to be kowtowed, and it takes more than 20 kowtows casually.

Xiao Muxue is not really a member of the Gu family, and she has a noble status, Gu Yunjing is afraid that she will not kowtow.Unexpectedly, Xiao Muxue did not hesitate, put her hands flat under the futon, and kowtowed respectfully to Senior Gu.

The Gu family is loyal and loyal, and these tablets enshrine all the famous generals of the past.In order to protect the country of Xiao, they devoted themselves to death.Xiao Muxue knew very little about the history of the Gu family, but just looking at the recorded deeds, she felt that it was necessary for her to kowtow, not for anything else, but for the heroic feelings.

After kowtowing, the two quietly listened to the elders of the clan read the ancestral precepts.The ancestral precepts of any big family are lengthy and cumbersome, and the Gu family is no exception.Gu Yunjing didn't have a good rest last night, and kneeling for a long time now, her body really can't bear it.The soreness from her knee made her frown frequently, Gu Yunjing gritted her teeth and insisted secretly.

Several hours later, the ancestor worship ceremony came to an end.When Gu Yunjing stood up slightly, she felt like stars were shining on her head, her legs were weak, her body was trembling, and when she was about to collapse, she subconsciously grabbed Xiao Muxue who was closest to her.Coincidentally, this grab just caught the waist.

Xiao Muxue suddenly felt her waist tighten, and her heart trembled at the same time.Except for her close relatives, in her previous life she had almost no skin-to-skin contact with strange men, let alone letting him touch her sensitive waist.Xiao Muxue looked at Gu Yunjing with resentful eyes.

Gu Yunjing knew that she had made a mistake, so she hurriedly pulled her hand away and smiled awkwardly.She blinked her tender eyes, as if saying sorry.

Xiao Muxue frowned and stared, Ruoyou Ruowu sighed.She really wanted to blame Gu Yunjing, but looking at the pale boy, what could she blame?

After the detailed discussion last night, Gu Yunjing pointed out a clear path for the prince, and Xiao Muxue was grateful to her.Thinking about it again, what Gu Yunjing did just now was not intentional, so why bother about it?

Gu Yunjing is a man, Xiao Muxue can't fall in love with him.But this son is smart and kind, Xiao Muxue can still convince herself to be friends with her.A friend is not a stranger, and it is within reason to reach out to help her when she is in trouble.

Thinking of this, Xiao Muxue slowly stretched out her jade arms, gently supporting Gu Yunjing.This time it was real skin-to-skin contact, not through the cuffs like before.

Gu Yunjing was very surprised by the actions of the sixth princess, and at the same time there was a look of joy quietly under the slender eyelashes.The first time he saw Xiao Muxue's astonishing face in the bridal chamber, the young man's heart skipped a beat.

When Bingzhu talked at night, Xiao Muxue's gaze and insight made her secretly amazed.I planned to be a wild crane, but not to ask about anything in the court.For some reason, seeing the pleading look in Xiao Muxue's clear eyes, Gu Yunjing couldn't bear to refuse her, so he couldn't help giving her some pointers.

Now when he smelled the fragrance of her body again, Gu Yunjing's nostrils suddenly became greedy, and he really wanted to get closer to smell her better.

Gu Yunjing kept her word and would never violate the contract and do anything beyond the rules, no matter how much she misses Xiao Muxue's smell.

Enduring inner impulse is more difficult than enduring leg numbness. The journey from the ancestral hall to the mansion is not far away, and Gu Yunjing has recited the Qingxin Sutra dozens of times.

It was already noon when they returned to the house, and the servant's notification made the two of them dispel the idea of ​​taking a rest.

"My son, Your Royal Highness, there is a court lady who calls herself Luomei and asks to see her." The servants of the Hou Mansion are used to calling Gu Yunjing the son of a prince, but they are not used to changing their name to consort for a while.

The number of times Gu Yunjing entered the palace can be counted on one's fingers, so naturally she doesn't recognize Luomei.But Xiao Muxue was familiar with it. In the ten days that traveled through, she repeatedly digested the information in the mind of the original owner.When the servant mentioned Luomei, she immediately realized that she was the maidservant next to the empress.

Today is the second day of the wedding, and it's not time to return home yet.It must be something important for the queen to send the maid.

Xiao Muxue said in a deep voice, "Tell her to come in."

At the end of the day, Luo Mei walked in.She bowed her body and said: "This servant has seen the son-in-law, princess."

Xiao Muxue stared at her anxious expression, and asked, "Is there anything the Empress called you to order?"

Luo Mei vigilantly looked around the hall of the Hou Mansion, Gu Yunjing caught this movement, she retreated the people in the mansion, and said softly: "Don't panic, if you have something to say, talk about it."

Luomei knelt down with a plop, her eyes gradually turned red, and crystal tears fell on her face. She kowtowed on the ground, weeping and said: "His Royal Highness is imprisoned in the clan's mansion by the emperor, please Your Royal Highness, son-in-law Lord, save His Highness the Crown Prince."

This pleading voice is moving.Speaking of which, Luomei and Xiao Zhan still had a relationship, which is a secret in the deep palace.She has been serving the prince and can often understand Xiao Zhan's thoughts.In addition to her good looks, Xiao Zhan gradually developed a heart of compassion for her.

The two got very close, of course their tricks couldn't escape the queen's eyes, the queen didn't punish her when she knew about it, she just moved Luomei away from the prince and transferred to Zhengyang Palace.

Luo Mei also knew that her status was humble, and she could never be a good match for the prince, so she could only shed her tears.But the love thread became more and more lingering, and every time I saw Xiao Zhan, my heart would be distracted.Luo Mei originally planned to ask the queen to let her out of the palace next month, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen to the crown prince.

Gu Yunjing and Xiao Muxue's expressions changed when they heard that, the clan mansion is usually a place where ministers who have committed serious crimes are detained.The crown prince is imprisoned here, and the emperor is likely to be ready for storage.

From the memories of the original owner, Xiao Muxue learned that the prince Xiao Zhan was very kind to this younger sister.Not only the kindness of protection when he was young, but also the secret love for the original owner and Han Jun.The original owner was able to elope with Han Jun, Xiao Zhan contributed a lot.Knowing that such an approach is wrong, but for the happiness of his beloved sister, this courteous and law-abiding prince actually personally made an elopement plan for Xiao Muxue.

In the 21st century, President Xiao was able to travel back to the original owner and live again, which is also due to Xiao Zhan.

The empress mother and son have great kindness to the original owner, that is to say, they have great kindness to themselves.What's more, Xiao Zhan's character is precious and talented, so he is really the choice of the king.Due to emotion, reason and law, Xiao Muxue felt that she should stand up and defend the prince.

Xiao Muxue regained her composure and said, "What crime did His Highness the Crown Prince commit?"
