C3 Three Oracles(1)

In front of the temple, there were seven memorial archways that were even more exquisite than the dozen in front of the imperial street. The pine trees on both sides of the temple were tall and straight, the leaves on the trees were luxuriant, and the ground was spotless. A thousand-year-old ancient bell could be heard ringing in the temple, making it seem very solemn.

The day after the wedding, Murong Nichang had followed Duanmu Jue to the State Protecting Temple to pay respects to her ancestor, and had gotten up early in the morning to bathe and change. According to the customs, she also needed to burn incense and sit quietly for two hours to calm her heart and mind, thinking about this day in her previous life, she cried all night long and her eyes were red. When the rumors of the Emperor's discord spread, her father even scolded her for it.

This time, of course, she would make no mistake. In the mirror, she was dressed in the uniform of a queen, with pearls larger than a longan, tied in a round shape and tied in front of her chest. Her hair was meticulously done, and she used to think that she looked old with her forehead exposed; now, with the phoenix crown on her head, she seemed to have a better shape in her face, "Hiss!" The servant Servant's hand grew heavier when she put the hairpin in the earring, causing Murong Mu to frown slightly.

"This servant deserves to die!" Please punish me, Empress! " She was so scared that she quickly kneeled on the ground and kowtowed.

"Don't say any unlucky words on such a happy day, get up!" When Nanny Rui was close to her, she was surrounded by maids who were not much older than her. Even Qing Xue and Mann Xue, who had been brought to the palace with her father in her previous life, had become more experienced after he had given Nanny Rui some advice. At this moment, she understood what was going on; Imperial Consort De, who was in charge of six palaces, had intentionally put some ignorant Maidservant by her side to prevent her from being taught by others, so that she could have her unbridled personality and make Duanmu Jue angry.

Murong Nichang liked peach makeup. Her skin was white, and she usually painted her cheeks pink and tender, like a peach and plum, but today, she was going to the State Protecting Temple to offer sacrifices to the gods, so as to show her gentleness and respect. She called Qing Xue to specially to lighten her makeup.

"Empress, breakfast is ready, please control the Fenglin Palace!" Murong Nichang looked at the person behind her in the mirror and thought back to her past life. She had slandered Qing Xue and the Yellow Gate guards, slandering Qing Xue and causing her to be caned to death in the end. In reality, she was a spy for Imperial Consort Wong Shu.

"I got it!" For the time being, Murong Nichang could not find a mistake and send her out to do some menial work. After all, she had just gotten married, so she had to have a benevolent and fraternal attitude, especially towards the servants in the palace.

Once he entered the dining room, he saw Duanmu Jue sitting there waiting for him. It seemed that even though he went to Imperial Consort Shu's place last night, he still took it into consideration for his face when he ate with her in the morning. In the end, even when his wings were still thin, he still could not afford to offend her.

"Greetings to Your Majesty! Long live and long live your Majesty!" He was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, with a golden dragon dancing in the wind, a jade crown with a yellow ribbon tied around his head, and on his hand was a perfect jade thumb ring made of mutton fat. He was only 22 years old, and was currently very handsome, not to mention he already had an outstanding appearance.

As expected, Duanmu Jue didn't make any mistakes, so he raised his hand and said gently: "Rise, Queen, sit down!"

Duanmu Jue had been a crown prince all year round and his personality had been restrained, especially in the aspect of food and clothing. After becoming the emperor, he had the same habit of being frugal, such as having a few side dishes on the table, a half-dried hot porridge, and a plate of dumplings.

He didn't have a round room last night, so why was he carrying such a plate of dumplings? Was he going to take a bite before replying that he was "born"?

"Someone, come!" Murong looked at the dumplings and said, "Carry it down. We still need to meet the Ancestor as a sacrificial god. Do not touch any meat or meat!" She pretends to be young and insensible.

The palace maid hesitated for a moment. The imperial kitchens obviously knew the etiquette, and the dumplings were not for eating. They were meant to be lucky, but she didn't dare to disobey, so she could only silently withdraw.

Duanmu Jue only looked up from the moment she came in. He thought it was a girl pretending to be luxurious, but he didn't expect that she had a pure face and didn't lose out in dignity. He didn't know how to match that necklace, but it made her look holy, probably because she was cold and in no mood to dress up. Duanmu Jue ate without saying a word. However, he squinted his eyes at Duanmu Jue's picturesque appearance. After all, everyone loved beauty.

After the morning meal, Ni Chang and Duanmu Jue had to go to the Fushou Palace to pay respects to the empress dowager, before they could take off for the State Protecting Temple. Grand Empress Wong — Murong Nichang's heart was on her face, and her greatest impression of her was her relationship with Sofia, and she wholeheartedly wanted to help Imperial Consort Shu ascend to the throne.

Murong Nichang's gaze became slightly dazed. Duanmu Jue thought that this was the first time she saw the empress dowager so nervous and fearful. After all, she was only 15 or 16 years old, and just as he was about to tell her that he would be the one to answer questions from the empress dowager after they entered, Murong Wei said: "Your Majesty, Fushou Palace has arrived!"

"Son, daughter-in-law, pay respects to the empress dowager!"

"Both of you, rise!" Grand Empress Wong was young and well-kept. She wore a purple skirt, a jujube red robe, and a pair of golden silk clothes. She had two phoenix crowns, and she walked with golden steps, her face expressionless.

Ni Chang raised her head and glanced at Grand Empress Wong. Last night, Duanmu Jue didn't stay at the Night Joyous Hall, but she pretended not to be heard or displeased. Even the Emperor Ye You's Linzhi Palace was something she was eager to see.

Murong Jue didn't mention anything about what happened last night. With a gentle smile, he took the tea that a palace maid had brought over and offered it to his wife. "Wife offers tea to mother!"

Grand Empress Wong glanced at the white silk in Guo Liu-Li's hand, which had a few spots of red on it. With a slight frown, she took the teacup from Murong's hand and took a sip. "You should rise!" He sent a red packet, "The empress has toiled so much for the emperor, I'm giving you a seat!"

"Thank you mother, this is what chenqie should do!"

Duanmu Jue stared at the plate with the white silk taken away by the palace maid with a sense of shock. He originally wanted to explain to the empress dowager how to get rid of the silk without leaving a trace, but Murong Nichang seemed to have finished.

Last night, he had stayed at the Linzhi Palace, and had not denied that he and the empress had consummated their marriage. As for choosing Imperial Consort Wong Shu, he had only been afraid that the empress dowager would reprimand him the next day, not spoil Imperial Consort Wong Shu, and if he denied it now, then it would undoubtedly be using Mrs. Wong's help to suppress their Murong Family. However, to the previous dynasty, this was not a good omen, because he wanted the two families to restrain each other, so he would definitely not deny it.

Murong Nichang's thought was clear in her eyes. Duanmu Jue couldn't help but clench his teeth, it seems like he was too careless, "You two will be going to the State Protecting Temple to pay homage to the ancestors in a while, Royal Son has to take care of Ni Chang!"

"Thank you mother for feeling sorry for Ni Chang!" In his previous life, Grand Empress Wong had never fought with him before, she was the one who hid needles in her body, allowing the various parties in the harem to eat her, she had never cared about that. Once the empress had fallen, she happily pushed Imperial Consort Wong Shu to the back, and he was still the same kind and magnanimous person, so Murong was naturally not going to argue with her. She was the empress dowager, so her power wasn't enough, not to mention that she would only push the neutral Duanmu Jue over to Grand Empress Wong, but also be wary of the power of her mother, Mrs. Wong.

"The empress is smart!" Duanmu Jue said coldly the moment they stepped out of the door.

"Chenqie is thinking for His Majesty!" Murong followed him and nodded. "I don't want the empress dowager to blame His Majesty for what happened last night." Would she weep and complain to the Empress Dowager as she used to, and become inhumane?

Duanmu Jue had already planned that Murong Nichang would complain bitterly to the empress dowager about last night's consummation. Grand Empress Wong knew that he hated concubines the most, and with such a ruckus between the two of them, he could use the excuse that the empress dowager was young, and wouldn't go back to the empress dowager's place in the future, in broad daylight. Furthermore, he was going to Imperial Consort Wong Shu's place, and the empress dowager's place, so he could openly distance himself from her.

The Emperor's ceremonial manner, the Queen accompanying him, the clean water spread across the floor, the people on the street had all been cleaned up, yet they were all hiding at home and secretly watching the Tian Family's prestige, not to mention that there was the newly wedded Queen.

Murong and Duanmu Jue sat in the same carriage. In order to show the Empress that they were deeply in love, the atmosphere between the two of them was strangely and terrifyingly, and what broke the silence was the sound of babies crying. The horse let out a frightened cry, and the car shook as it stopped to draw its sword, "What happened?" Duanmu Jue asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, a baby crying has scared a horse. He has crashed into a Imperial Carriage!"

Murong Wei adjusted the yellow car cover and looked over. In order to stop the baby from crying, the guard accompanying him rushed into the house. He almost covered the baby's nose and mouth as he shouted, "Stop!" Even Eunuch Guan, who was accompanying them, was shocked. The lady in the house was so scared that she quickly hugged the child and knelt on the ground, begging for forgiveness.

"He's just a baby, and I'm afraid the glory of the heavens has frightened him. Just a little coaxing will do!" Mu Rong Chen took out a jade pendant that was shaped like a cute little monkey and carved vividly, indicating that Guan Mi should give it to the baby.

The child was curious and played with the jade pendant, no longer crying. The woman thanked him and said, "Long live the Queen!" The empress is merciful! "

"Start!"

The horse carriage started to move again. Duanmu Jue glanced at the person sitting on the ground while drinking tea and looked at a Buddhist scripture calmly, "The Empress is so amazing. Just a jade pendant is enough to make the child stop crying!"

"There are some kids at home. When I cry, I use the little monkey jade pendant to tease him, but he doesn't cry anymore. He heard my mother say that I loved to cry when I was young, so I deliberately found such an interesting jade pendant to tease me!" Duanmu Jue put down his tea cup and glanced at Murong Nichang. He didn't even care that he didn't exist. The corner of his eye was close to a palace maid when he was talking to her. Murong Yu had indeed sent him to keep an eye on her.

"Your Majesty, Empress, we have arrived at State Protecting Temple!" Guan Mi's shrill voice came from outside.
