    Jisi Day in March is the period when the empress holds a "pro-silkworm" sacrifice. On the silkworm altar at the north end of Taiye Pool in Xiyuan, a yellow curtain is erected.  Sheep, pigs, wine and other sacrifices.

    The queen fasted for three days, and then followed the deacons who entered the altar to fast for another day in the female palace.  On the day of kissing silkworms, before dawn, Empress Xia got up early to set an example.

    A total of 10,000 guards of honor have been arranged: 5,000 people guard the surrounding area of ??Xiancan Altar, and 5,000 people follow the Queen's guard.  Empress Zhang stepped out of the palace gate under the guidance of the female guide. Behind her were two noble concubines, princesses, wives of noble relatives, wives and concubines of officials with fourth-rank civil service and third-rank military officials in Beijing, unmarried sisters, and thirteenth-ranked officials.  Cardamom Nianhua's daughter.

    They line up in order, each with a maid, who is holding a mulberry basket, and the queen is carrying it. The flowers are full of flowers and the fragrance is floating for miles. The female team, which is rarely seen in the next day, marches forward to the silkworm altar.  go.  It's a pity that the road is heavily guarded, and ordinary people have no chance to see it.

    The young lady was originally light and healthy, but now her pregnancy is not very obvious, and she is far from the point of having a big belly. Wearing the third-rank Gaoming wife's robes and robes, her figure is well concealed, and she is still more charming than a flower.

    The three sisters Yutangchun, Xuelimei, and Tang Yixian appeared hand in hand for the first time today. Yutangchun and Xuelimei were also wearing Mrs. Gaoming's robes. Tang Yixian wore a wooden red narrow-sleeved short jacket and a willow yellow long skirt.  The woman walked in a meandering manner, very conspicuous in the crowd.

    The empress, who was walking far away under the canopy, also thought of kissing silkworms today. Yang Ling's cousin, the girl who made the emperor fascinated, would definitely appear, but she only looked back occasionally.  ?

    The lord of the six palaces, the mother of the world, could not be sloppy in this grand ceremony, so she had to endure the jealousy in her heart and walk in the front alone.  Arriving next to the first silkworm altar, Empress Xia, dressed in Juyi, first went up to the altar to offer sacrifices, then accepted the order of the woman to kneel down, and finally walked to the mulberry tree and stood holding the hook.

    Beside her, the female officials of the Six Shang Bureau stood around respectfully, one of them was holding a willow basket for picking mulberry, Empress Xia picked up three leaves with a hook, the female official picked them up and put them in the basket, and the queen's "Qi Chun Bow Sang" was completed  After that, two first-rank wives, one second- and third-rank wives each picked five, nine, and twelve mulberry leaves according to their grades, and the 10,000 army and thousands of women brought the thirty-four mulberry leaves they picked together mightily.  Dang hurried back to the altar of the Forbidden Garden, and another life-seeker woman chopped up the mulberry leaves and fed them to the silkworm baby. The whole long and boring ceremony was over.

    Yongfu and Yongchun had been secretly notified by Qiu Ju, and the two princesses were secretly happy, and they were ready early.  The large group of people turned to the palace gate, and when the wives from all walks of life were looking for sedan chairs to go home in front of the palace gate, Yang Ling came galloping with a team of cavalry, and he brought the soft sedan chair and ordered his wife to be sent back to the palace.  The sedan chair followed behind his cavalry.

    Then Yang Ling came to the princess's seat, bowed his body to salute immediately, and said in a loud voice: "By the holy decree, the emperor is going to visit Tangquan in Jizhou, please accompany the eldest princess and Princess Yongchun."

    The two princesses went out of the palace in a luxurious and huge eight-carriage car. Hearing this, they immediately got out of the sedan chair. In the big sedan chair, the two princesses had already changed out of their cumbersome palace attire and wore light yellow double-breasted and narrow-sleeved shirts.  The two princesses wore the same pleated skirts, and their bodies were both slender and slender, but they were so skinny that they were extremely beautiful.

    The light yellow Luoshang set off their fair and moist skin even more tenderly. Neither of the two princesses could wear a bun before they were married, but the eldest princess Yongfu cleverly matched a cloud bun headdress, which was shaped like a married woman's armband.  The ponytail is both playful and charming.

    With a wave of Yang Ling's hand, two light sedan chairs were carried in front of him, and the two princesses boarded the sedan chairs and set off. This action had already alarmed the court wives who had not yet dispersed. There was a lot of discussion for a while, and Yang Ling pretended to be arrogant, with a look of shamelessness  The scruples of the dignitaries looked like, and they rode their horses in front of them.

    Empress Xia heard the news in front of the palace gate, and was about to send someone to ask what happened. Yang Ling had invited two princesses, and three of the cavalry drove away in small sedan chairs. Empress Xia's face was livid with anger.  Also ignoring a few princely wives who were accosting to talk to her, they immediately rushed into the palace to file a complaint.

    Zhengde's brigade was waiting outside the city. Yang Ling's guards arrived in three small sedan chairs, and asked the two princesses to change into the sedan chairs. One of the juniors in the crowd was Emperor Zhengde, and the two princesses knew that their brother was going to dress up as this  The appearance, but it still feels fresh after looking at it, so I cover my lips and snicker.

    Zhengde glared at them, waved his hands hastily for them to get into the sedan chair, and then came to Tang Yixian's sedan chair.  Zhengde had not seen Tang Yixian for more than ten days, and his expression was quite excited at this time. He saw that Tang Yixian was well dressed, which was the most popular style of clothing for ladies in the capital in spring at present.

    &Knowing Cheng Qiyun, Yang Ling suddenly realized, and before waiting for her to explain, he said with a smile: "You areyou are the girl next to Cheng Jitou!"

    Chu Ling smiled sweetly, and said: "It's the servant girl, the young lady wants me to bring news to your lord."

    Yang Ling was excited, and hurriedly said: "This is not a place to talk, you come with me."

    Not far from the door is the guard camp, with several houses built, Yang Ling took her into a quiet room, and asked quickly: "Miss Cheng, how is everything?"

    Chu Ling said sweetly: "Thank you for your concern, Miss is all well. Besides, Miss also asked Another important matter that Your Excellency cares about, she has already arranged it properly, and there will be no mistakes.  Please rest assured, my lord."

    Yang Ling blushed, and quickly changed the topic: "Miss Cheng sent you here, but everything is ready?"

    Chu Ling said: "Yes, the special envoys of the Japanese King Bunka have arrived in secret. The lady is accompanying them all the way to the capital. The servant girl will go ahead. It is estimated that the lady will arrive in the capital within five days."

    Emperor Bunkame of Japan has been on the throne for four years. Last year, he just changed his reign title to Yongzheng. There is no news from the Central Plains, so he is still called Bunkame habitually.  Yang Ling was taken aback when he heard that, Emperor Wen's special envoy?  Cheng Qiyun is so careful that even her confidant maid doesn't know the truth?  But she is so careful and reasonable, one mistake is a great sin, and one less person who knows will be more safe.

    Thinking of this, Yang Ling replied vaguely: "Very good, tell Miss Cheng after you go back, and ask her to stay in Tongzhou temporarily, and wait for my side to attack and defend to the last moment, and then invite Miss Cheng to set off for Beijing to highlight the surprise soldiers, it depends on the first battle  win or lose."

    Chu Ling said: "Yes, when the servant girl came, the young lady ordered that the two capitals are very far away, and it is difficult to understand the recent situation of the capital. The young lady does not know how the adults are doing, so please tell me something, and the maid can reply to the young lady.  I know what I know."

    Yang Ling paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, pondered for a moment before he smiled and said: "Everything is in order, and I will return to Beijing in two days. I will immediately ask the emperor to hold a 'Great Court Conference' and mobilize officials to write a letter to the court, requesting the lifting of the sea ban."

    Seeing Chu Ling's hesitation, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Miss Chu Ling, I heard from Miss Cheng that the two of you have also studied military art with her. Let me ask you, if you and I lead the army to attack, you have four major dangers.  One of them has been quietly captured by me, so that there are loopholes in the defense line, the division of troops and the weakening of the garrison force are very likely to be captured by me one by one, if it is you, what will you do?"

    Chu Ling raised her eyebrows and said, "That's simple. Since I'm the defender, and I'm already at a disadvantage, and there are loopholes in the line of defense, then I will take the initiative to abandon other passes and gather troops at the most dangerous place to fight each other for the final decisive battle."  .

    Yang Ling praised: "Exactly, but the reason why this most dangerous level is so difficult is that you have natural dangers to defend, or there are thousands of mountains that cannot be climbed, or huge waves are raging against the sky, but if you suddenly  In the meantime, this natural danger has become a flat river, so what?"

    Chu Ling smiled wryly and said: "Your Excellency is not talking about the art of war, it is like two gods fighting. If this situation really happens, then I will gather troops together and wait for you to kill them. It is better to divide the troops."  The guards can delay some more time."

    Yang Ling said with a smile: "So if you return to being a girl, just rest assured. I will show the enemy weakness before this pass, let them regard this place as the only dangerous place to rely on, and concentrate all opposing forces on this point  Come up, at that time, your surprise soldiers stand out, the natural danger will become smooth, they will only be defeated, and they will have no strength to resist, understand?"

    Chu Ling shook her head, and said frankly: "My servant doesn't understand."

    Yang Ling laughed and said: "It's okay if you don't understand, you just reply as a girl, and she will naturally understand."

    Chu Ling covered her mouth with a smile, and said: "Miss asked me to tell my lord that the important event had been arranged, but the servant girl didn't understand, and the lady also said that I just need to reply to my lord truthfully, and my lord will understand after hearing it.  My lord and my young lady are in the same tone."

    She chuckled and said: "Then the servant girl has returned. In the end, there is one more word to share. My lady said that on the day she enters Beijing, she will give the lord a great gift, and the lord will be delighted to see it."

    Yang Ling wondered, "What gift is so important?"

    Chu Ling smiled and said: "Your servant doesn't understand, my lady said, you can talk about this matter or not, if your lord says something that your lord doesn't understand, then you might as well say it so that your lord doesn't understand, haha"

    Chu Ling bowed lightly and deftly, and said triumphantly: "My servant will leave!"
