Rong Baichuan couldn't explain these two things.
He can't say that he does it day and night.
What if they mistake Chaoxi for a monster and ask Taoist priests or monks to take her in?
Thus, Rong Baichuan lost his beloved daughter for a day.
I stayed in the palace all day and all night, and I saw someone for a whole day and a whole night.
A large number of concubines took turns coming to Fengchen Palace to see her.
The little guy was like the queen's new cat slave, staying obediently in her arms, smiling at everyone he saw and asking for kisses.
Then, when Qin Nanjing went to the palace gate to pick someone up the next day, what she saw was a poor, aggrieved little guy with a drooping mouth.
"What's wrong? Are you not having fun in the palace?" Qin Nanjing asked with a smile.
"Laugh...don't laugh..." Rong Chaoxi shook his head weakly.
[Laughing is too tiring. I will never laugh again...]
…
Although there was no danger after this incident, the general's mansion was still somewhat shrouded in a gloom.
Qin Nanjing arranged to replace the decorations in the mansion and clean it inside and out to get rid of the bad luck.
As we were busy as this, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month soon arrived.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is both the Lantern Festival and the Festival for Worshiping Gods.
Lantern Festival is the day for the heavenly officials to be happy, so lanterns should be lit during the Lantern Festival.
The Dongwu festival lasts for three days. The lights are lit from the 14th day of the first lunar month until the night of the 16th day. The lights are on continuously for three days.
It is a bustling market during the day and a spectacular sight with lights at night.
The streets are decorated with exquisite, colorful and dazzling lanterns, making the Lantern Festival the final climax of the Spring Festival.
On the fifteenth day, every devout person will go to the temple to light a long-burning lamp for the god they worship.
As long as you are sincere and respectful, the gods will hear your wishes.
If you are lucky, you can even invite the gods to descend.
According to legend, there was once someone who was favored by the gods.
Legend has it that it was the Lantern Festival when the lights were bright and people were in a festive atmosphere. No one had expected that a big hole would suddenly appear in the sky, and fire from the sky would fall from the hole like a meteor, destroying one city and mountain after another.
The mountains, plains, and rivers were all covered with fire from the sky.
The earth cracked, flames raged, and all things in heaven and earth struggled in the fire, with nowhere to escape.
On that day, someone came to the temple of the main god and prayed in the flames, praying that the god could save them and save this world that had suffered from natural disasters.
After expressing his wish, the person praying opened his eyes again and saw a statue shining brightly with golden light scattering everywhere.
A fiery red figure rushed out from the light and headed straight for the fire.
He only uttered a sigh in his ear, "When gods fight, mortals suffer. When desires run rampant, the three realms are in turmoil. You are right..."
Then, time reversed, the sky fire returned to the sky, and the hole in the sky was repaired, as if nothing had happened.
On that day, the gods came in person and fulfilled the wishes of the believers.
Only those who pray remember all this.
Of course, this is a legend from thousands of years ago, and no one knows whether it is true or not. Maybe it is just a foolish dream of that person.
…
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
The entire city of Kyoto was preparing in an orderly manner. First, people prepared incense and burning candles at home, and then went to the temple of the god they worshipped.
It is even more serious and lively than the Chinese New Year.
Everyone wants to receive the blessing of God.
Qin Nanjing prepared the incense table early and prepared the offerings according to the rules of previous years. She even burned incense and bathed every day and started eating vegetarian food three days in advance.
During these three days, Rong Yuanyou and Rong Chaoxi were extremely greedy.
To show sincerity, all the tributes are made on the same day.
Various crispy honey flower cakes, the aroma of roast chicken and roast duck filling the whole house, the whole house is filled with fragrance.
Rong Chaoxi got up early and stayed by the table.
She has no interest in worshipping gods.
She was very interested in the offerings used to worship the gods.
The little guy's eyes were glued to the roast chicken and never left.
Qin Nanjing placed the offerings and lit the incense and candles.
"Bye...thank you."
Rong Chaoxi imitated her movements, put his hands together and nodded three times.
Then Qin Nanjing stood up and lit incense.
And Rong Chaoxi stood up... and tore the chicken leg.
“Hey…”
Qin Nanjing quickly caught the little guy's chubby hand.
"You look so pious, it turns out you're eyeing the chicken legs."
"Don't eat it secretly. This is for the gods. He is watching."
Qin Nanjing chuckled helplessly and lit the incense.
Rong Chaoxi put his hand into his mouth and his eyes lit up instantly.
I just touched it.
The meat I haven't seen for three days tastes so good.
Rong Chaoxi sucked his fingers, tilted his head and asked, "What, God?"
[Which god is this? If you have a good relationship with him, you can eat his chicken legs.]
Qin Nanjing: ...
"Well... actually, I can't say I'm a..."
Qin Nanjing picked up the little guy and moved away from the tribute.
"We worship five of them. They are the Heavenly Emperors and the main gods. They are in charge of all the gods. There are very few legends about them among the people."
"The only unchanging rule passed down for thousands of years is that these five main gods must gather in one temple, otherwise they will not bestow their blessings."
"They should be five gods with a very good relationship..."
"oh."
Rong Chaoxi sucked his fingers seriously and said "oh" softly, as if he didn't hear what Qin Nanjing said.
After a while, the little guy sucked the taste off his fingers and it was gone.
"Mother, when is the time for...goodbye?"
Qin Nanjing knew the little guy's intention as soon as she heard it.
She is waiting for the worship to be over so she can eat some meat.
"After lunch, we're going to the main temple to worship and light the lamps. Would you like to go?"
"Bye... Can I have some meat?" The little guy only had meat in his mind at the moment.
Qin Nanjing smiled and shook her head. "The worship is not over until the night, when the moon is full and the sky lanterns are raised."
When the little guy heard this, his mouth immediately pouted.
Qin Nanjing rubbed the little guy's head and asked, "Then do you want to light the lamp?"
The little guy pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then nodded vigorously, "Yes."
After lunch, Qin Nanjing packed up and prepared to leave.
"Where's Chaoxi?"
When everyone is here, there will be no more room for improvement.
"Mingxia took the young lady to find Bai Xiaohei." Luokui replied.
"Bai Xiaohei?" Qin Nanjing frowned, "Who is that?"
There is no such person in the palace.
"It's the bear." said Luo Kui.
"Isn't it called Black White or Big Black and White?"
How come the name changes every day?
