The Imperial Concubine Just Wants To Be a Salted Fish Every Day

It's said that the emperor was obsessed with cleanliness and paid great attention to personal hygiene.

But just now they saw with their own eyes that the imperial concubine ate melon seeds with her mouth. The melon seeds might be stained with her saliva, but the emperor could eat them without changing his face. Is this still called cleanliness mania?!

I'm afraid it's not a fake cleanliness Mania!

With the clock ringing, the last day of this year passed.

The new year is coming!

Everyone got up and congratulated the emperor on the Spring Festival.

Luo QingHan gives people a spring festival reward.

The emperor and the imperial concubine went back to Yunxiu palace together.

According to the palace rules, on New Year's Eve, the emperor will rest in the pepper room.

However, now the central palace is Ownerless and the pepper room is empty. Naturally, the emperor doesn't pay attention to those things. He can sleep wherever he wants.

On the morning of the first day of the lunar new year, the emperor led his concubines, royal families, and civil and military officials to the imperial temple to worship their ancestors.

Ancestor worship is a very complicated thing.

Just kneeling, you have to kneel for more than an hour.

As a high-ranking imperial concubine, Xiao Xixi is at the forefront of the women's family. Countless pairs of eyes are staring at her behind her. She can't be lazy if she wants to steal. She can only kneel down.

Fortunately, the emperor ordered in advance and asked someone to prepare a thick Futon for her, which helped her alleviate a little pain.

The officials of the Ministry of rites stood on the high steps and chanted the sacrificial words loudly.

The lengthy sacrificial words seemed to be unreadable, like half of a lullaby. I was dizzy when I heard Xiao Xi. I wanted to fall on the ground and fall asleep on the spot.

Finally, when the sacrifice was over, the people got up one after another.

Kneeling for a long time can easily make people dizzy at the moment of getting up. If they are not in good health on weekdays, they may even faint on the spot.

Fortunately, everyone's perseverance was very strong. No matter how dizzy, they still clenched their teeth and stood up. There was no loss of honor before the emperor.

The next step is incense.

The Empress Dowager is old. She did not participate in the new year's ancestor worship in recent years. In the past, the queen of Qin used to worship her ancestors instead of her. Now there is no queen, so it is natural for her to take the job.

After the emperor finished the incense, it was Xiao Xi's turn.

She put three incense sticks into the censer in a proper manner, knelt down and worshipped three times, stood up with the help of the Baoqin and retreated behind the emperor.

Then there are the links of blessing and divination.

The so-called blessing is to pray for good weather and peace in the coming year.

Divination is to ask heaven whether the national fortune of the Dasheng Dynasty this year is good or bad by means of divination?

These are all arranged by the Ministry of rites and the imperial heavenly supervisor. No matter how calculated, the final result must be good luck.

To put it bluntly, these are just a formality in order to stabilize the people.

When the whole ancestor worship ceremony is completed, it is already afternoon.

They returned to the palace by carriage.

Xiao Xi was still in the same carriage with the emperor.

There were only two of them in the car. Xiao Xi didn't need to worry. He directly lifted up his skirt and rolled up his trouser legs, revealing his red knees and lower legs.

She pursed her lips and muttered, "it hurts."

Luo QingHan held her white and slender calf, lowered his head and blew two breaths on her knee.

"Huhu won't hurt."

Xiao Xi immediately lifted up another trouser leg: "and this way."

Luo QingHan didn't shout this time, but kissed her directly on her knee.

Xiao Xi blushed and said, "it's just for you to shout. Why did you kiss?"

Luo QingHan: "if you want to kiss, why do you need a reason."

It's very reasonable.

Xiao Xixi touched his leg: "you've been kneeling for so long. Your leg should hurt too? I'll help you shout."

Luo QingHan: "it's all right. I'm used to it."

Ancestor worship is an essential link every year. He has to go through it once a year since he was young. He has long been used to it.

He opened a dark compartment in the car and took out a bottle of medicine oil.

He poured the medicine oil into the palm, rubbed it hot, covered it on the Xi's lower legs, and rubbed it slowly.

Xiao Xi took a breath: "it hurts!"

Luo QingHan: "bear it. It'll be fine later."

He didn't lie, and soon the pain disappeared and replaced it with a cool feeling.

Xiao Xi asked in surprise, "what kind of medicinal oil is this? It works so fast."

Luo QingHan: "I specially asked Fang Wujiu to prepare it for you."

Rub this leg and then that leg.

After rubbing both legs, Luo QingHan wiped his hands, put away the medicine oil, looked up and saw Xiao Xixi. I didn't know when he had fallen asleep against the car wall.

She got up before dawn today to dress up. She was busy for most of the day to worship her ancestors. She was already tired. She couldn't make it back to the palace, so she couldn't help sleeping.

Luo QingHan carefully took people over and asked her to lean her head on her shoulder.

After returning to the palace, Xiao Xixi was carried to the bed by the emperor.

She turned over and went on sleeping.

Unfortunately, she was called up before she slept long.

It's time to get ready for dinner.

Xiao Xi was lying on the bed and refused to get up with the quilt.

Baoqin and drizzle worked together to grab the quilt.

Even if she lost her favorite quilt, Xiao Xi refused to get up. Her determined attitude was like a nail household nailed to the bed.

Baoqin and drizzle had no choice but to make persistent efforts. It took nine cattle and two tigers to pull the nail house out of the bed.

Xiao Xi was almost carried to the dresser.

The palace maids revolved around her, groomed her and waited on her to dress and wear shoes.

She didn't know how she left Yunxiu palace, let alone how she got to Country Pavilion.

Anyway, when she came back to her senses, the banquet had begun. There were many royal families sitting below, and next to her sat the emperor, and on the other side sat the Empress Dowager.

The clansmen got up one after another to propose a toast to the emperor and wish him all the best in the new year.

The emperor raised his glass in response.

Xiao Xi also had a drink.

This wine is not high in concentration. It is like a fruit wine. It is not spicy and a little sweet.

As soon as she put down her glass, she heard the emperor whispering beside her.

"Wake up?"

Xiao Xi looked at Luo QingHan and smiled awkwardly.

"Yes."

Luo QingHan gently squeezed her hand and whispered, "it's hard for you."

Originally, Xiao Xi was a little angry to get up, but now she is not angry at all.

No matter how hard she worked, she didn't work as hard as the emperor.

Xiao Xixi first filled the emperor with a bowl of soup, and then filled himself with a bowl of soup.

After drinking the soup, Xiao Xixi was about to pick up vegetables, but he was acutely aware that a bad look was looking here.

She is in a higher position than all the guests present, where you can easily see the faces of all the guests present.

At this time, she glanced at it and soon found the source of her bad eyes.

……

Good morning, everyone~
