Chapter 607: with translation of chapter title

Southern Qi has several grand festivals; among them, the Spring Sacrifice is the most grand; sometimes that lively festive atmosphere even surpasses the Origin Festival.

Southern Qi (already), emperor (generic), spring sacrifice, Imperial Harem, Imperial Concubine, all civil and military officials of the court (generic). No new names.

When the time comes, the emperor will symbolically swing a hoe a couple of times, showing the Imperial Court's emphasis on spring plowing, after all these feudal regimes were founded on agriculture.

Emperor Longqing. Already.

Bai Xiaosheng (possibly Bai Xiaosheng) is a name not in the glossary; it refers to a person named Bai Xiaosheng that needs to be added. It may also be a named entity (character) not in the glossary, requiring addition.

Generally, for the Spring Sacrifice, some sacrificial offerings need to be prepared, and civil and military officials must each bring their own female family members.

The ladies must prepare some blessing ribbons and embroidered items, and after the Spring Sacrifice ends they also need to have a meal at the manor.

Southern Qi (already). Gu Jiu Ling. Already.

Therefore, the ladies of every household are always happy at the yearly Spring Sacrifice.

After all, they usually never step outside their gates, but now they can not only take part in such a grand sacrificial ceremony, but also eat game they normally cannot get and enjoy the spring scenery.

The key is that gender restrictions are not as strict as usual during this period, so the unmarried young ladies from each household can also take the chance to seek their beloved.

Gu Jiu Ling prepares those blessing silk flowers in the heated chamber.

Gu Jiu Ling smiled helplessly; these maidservants treat her like a porcelain doll.

She pulled her finger out, used the ruined silk handkerchief to wipe away the blood from the needle prick, and said with a smile, "No need to panic; you've made me a bit nervous."

September (Jiu Yue). Already. Princess Consort. Already.

Gu Jiu Ling wouldn't rest; she took the embroidery, re-threaded the needle: "The Spring Sacrifice is for seeking a good omen; if the Prince's sachet weren't hand-sewn by me, how could I express my sincere feelings?"

Gu Jiu Ling handed the tea cup to Xiao Yin; Xiao Yin sat in the chair, took the cup, drank two sips, looked at Gu Jiu Ling and said, "I have already ordered people to re-survey the fields of the eight great clans; in another two months the survey will be finished and we can begin spring plowing."

Gu Jiu Ling brushed aside that heavy topic, took out her embroidered handkerchief and the sachet she had made, and handed them to Xiao Yin.
