Chapter 385: Great Worship

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, according to the ten-year practice, the emperor should accept the worship of hundreds of officials in the Taihe Palace, and all officials in the capital should perform as ceremonies on this day. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info In previous years, there were only 100 civil and military officials, but this year is special, and the Tiandao Academy is also among the ceremonies. All the Heavenly Masters of the Heavenly Dao Academy must participate, including Yu Nianniang, the three new entrants to the Heavenly Dao Academy.

Therefore, before dawn, Yu Nianniang got up, and of course she was dressed in a heavenly robe, with wide sleeves in a plain robe. The male celestial master's hair should be tied into a hairpin, and Yu Nianniang pulled part of the hair on the top of his head into a hairpin, and the long hair on the back of his head and the lower part of his head remained. It's a bit like a double flat hairpin, but the two hairpins on either side of the head have been changed to one.

It is different from the double flat hairpin, and the hairstyle is different, which makes people appear more calm.

After Yu Nianniang had breakfast, Wucai drove Yu Nianniang out of Yufu in a carriage and went directly towards the noon gate.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, hundreds of civil and military officials entered from the noon gate.

When Yu Nianniang arrived, many people arrived, several came from the Tiandao Academy, and Yang Kai also arrived, and when he saw Yu Nianniang, he beckoned to her. There was no distinction between front and back, Yu Nianniang stood at the back, and Yang Kai stood behind her.

The front and left are full of civil and military officials.

Seeing that the Heavenly Dao Academy was also in the worship ranks this year, the eyes of the hundred officials couldn't help but become complicated, but with just one glance, everyone withdrew their gaze.

The positions were arranged according to the ranks, with the Great Heavenly Master standing at the front, and Yu Nianniang and the others at the end of the line.

For the Heavenly Dao Academy, which has never entered the court, it is a great honor to be arranged at the court meeting.

At dawn, the ceremony officially began.

A musician struck the big drum on the side of Fengtianmen, one heavy and one light, the rhythm changed from slow to fast and then fast to slow, the sound changed from weak to strong, and then from strong to weak, and then another musician struck the big bell of Fengxianmen, making a humming and solemn sound.

Everyone was silent, and their eyes were solemn. After the music sounded, the officials began to line up outside the noon gate.

Ertong drum, then beat the drum, and then suck and beat the bell twice, all the officials were solemn, solemn, and began to enter from the left and right doors.

When the three drums are beaten, the three sounds, the emperor wears the dragon crown in the Baohe Palace, sits upright on the main hall, the deacon enters the hall to perform the five bows, and then the emperor drives out of the Baohe Palace, and comes to the Taihe Palace. Music on!

Yu Nianniang followed the team and walked slowly, the long line led from the noon gate to the Taihe Palace, everyone had serious expressions and serious attitudes, until they entered the Taihe Palace, and the four whips outside began to whip.

The celebrant shouted "Bow!" At the beginning of the music, the hundred officials bowed four times to the emperor sitting in the main hall to the north, and after getting up, the ceremonial officer shouted "Enter the table." ”

The internal praise officer shouted "Xuanbiao! ”

The civil and military officials in the hall knelt down in unison, and Yu Nianniang and others also knelt down. Kneel down and listen to the "watch". After the announcement was over, all the ministers shouted long live. Repeat this three times, kneeling and listening, shouting.

After a series of tedious ceremonies, the emperor got up and returned to the Baohe Palace, and the hundred officials could rest at this time.

The whole ceremony lasted for almost two hours, and whether it was the emperor or the hundred officials, or the female eunuchs of the soldiers and palaces, they were tired enough.

Originally, Yu Nianniang was very curious about the Baiguan Dynasty meeting on the first day of the Lunar New Year in the palace, and finally had the opportunity to experience it, but she felt quite boring. By the time she returned to Yufu, it was already mid-hour.

Mother Sun and Linglong were busy serving her and leaning on the couch, although there was a hand stove on the carriage, but after standing on the main hall for two hours, kneeling and shouting, both feet were almost frozen.

Yu Nianniang wrapped her two legs in the blanket with a thick blanket, and drank two cups of hot tea in a row, only then did she feel some warmth in her body.

Mother Sun had already boiled bird's nest, and Yu Nianniang didn't stop drinking it in one breath, and then she felt completely warm.

Linglong looked distressed and sighed: "I heard that the girl could go to the court party on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and everyone felt envious and novel, but I didn't expect the girl to suffer such a crime, I knew that it was better not to go!" ”

"Nonsense!" Mother Sun immediately scolded her: "What a sigh for the New Year." What an honor it is for the girl to be able to participate in the court. This is the emperor's will, why don't you go if you don't want to? ”

Linglong stuck out her tongue and whispered, "I'll just say that." ”

"I can't say it." Mother Sun had a tense face.

Linglong nodded in recognition.

Mother Sun looked at Yu Nianniang and put on a kind face: "Girl, don't you want to lie down for a while?" ”

"No, you don't." Yu Nianniang waved her hand: "It's just that I've been standing for a long time, and my feet are freezing badly, but I'm not tired." ”

"Oh, well, if the girl is tired, lie down and rest for a while." The house was burned with charcoal, and it was very warm, and Mother Sun continued: "It's not a big deal, I thought that the girl was tired and waited for you to rest, and since there was no shortage of girls, the mother would talk to the girl first." ”

Yu Nianniang nodded, curious about what Mother Sun was going to say.

"That's the case, after the girl left, someone came to pay New Year's greetings, and gave something, the slave thought that since others sincerely came to pay New Year's greetings to the girl, how could they refuse people to be thousands of miles away, so they accepted the things, and everyone who came to pay New Year's greetings was rewarded......"

Yu Nianniang was surprised, she didn't expect that someone would come to greet her for the New Year, and she didn't know who it was?

"Mrs. Duan, who is a waiter in the Criminal Department, was the first to send someone to send some pastries made in her own house, which looked very exquisite; and Mrs. Dali Siqing, who also sent someone to the girl and sent some fruits from the Zhuangzi; and Mrs. Wuhou Shizi also sent someone to say hello to the girl; There are also the palaces of Guanglu Temple, the wife of the deputy envoy of the Xuantong Lieutenant and the Envoy Division, and so on......"

I gave gifts, all of which were used daily, either in my own house or in Zhuangzi, and the things were not expensive, but I looked at them with heart.

For example, the chef of Duanfu, the cook of Duanfu was just invited back from Jiangnan by Mrs. Duan, and I heard that he is very good at making pastries and is well-known in the capital. The fruits sent by Mrs. Qing of Dali Temple are also seasonal fresh fruits, and some are not available in the capital......

From the Houye's mansion to the six or seven petty officials. The gifts were piled up on the table.

Linglong said proudly: "Our girl is amazing!" ”

Mother Sun was also happy: "Of course, many adults in the court have sent people to give gifts, which shows that there are many girls in our country, which is valued by the emperor." Presumably, there aren't even so many people from the Great Heavenly Master, right? ”

"That's right......" Linglong hurriedly agreed.

However, Mother Sun's words reminded Yu Nianniang of what Wang Guo'an said to her last night, fell asleep, and her brain seemed to be opened, she condensed her eyebrows, recalled Wang Guo'an's words last night, and suddenly understood what Wang Guo'an meant.

"So that's ......," Yu Nianniang muttered intently.

"What did you say, girl?" Hearing Yu Nianniang muttering, Mother Sun asked with a smile.

"Didn't say anything." Yu Nianniang said: "I just suddenly understood what Hubu Shangshu meant......"
