Chapter 6: The Autumn Harvest Festival

When Huo Ling got into the car, Qimeng got up from the ground tremblingly, she carefully moved to the side of the carriage, carefully wiped her tears with her sleeve, she bit her lower lip tightly, and a trace of resentment slipped through her eyes.

Things became so embarrassing, no one dared to make any other movements, Yu Jue still maintained a kneeling posture, the wind blew his white clothes, floating with the wind.

After being silent for a while, Huo Chong stood up again at this time.

"Father, if you don't miss the auspicious time, let's go quickly!"

Huo Qi nodded calmly in agreement.

So Huo Chong ordered loudly, "Go"

, and when he turned around, he didn't forget to glance at Huo Ling's carriage.

And Huo Xun seemed to sigh lightly, and after a little ride, he was already at the forefront of the team.

The crowd walked out of the palace gate in a huge way, and when they arrived outside the palace gate, there were still some traces of blood on the stone floor, and the courtiers and envoys passing by all had palpitations.

Yu Jue, who had been prostrate on the ground in the palace gate, slowly got up, his smile disappeared, at this moment, his expressionless face could find that his lips were slightly white, Wei Budo, who had been standing in the distance, rushed over and stood beside Yu Jue, he looked at the distant Yan King angrily, panting, his right hand moved to the saber hanging on his waist, and he held the hilt of the sword tightly and forced.

"Prince, such a great shame given by King Yan will be recovered sooner or later!"

But Yu Jue looked at Huo Ling's carriage in the distance, thoughtfully, but looked away after a while.

He coughed.

"Let's hurry up, we're already lagging behind..."

Yu Jue turned his head and smiled and said to Wei Budo, who was tense, in a calm tone, and patted him on the shoulder.

Wei Budo looked at such a jade Jue and sighed.

"Alas, that's it! That's it! Prince, I understand..."

After that, Yu Jue took Wei Budo to the back of the line, and with every step, Yu Jue's fist hidden in his sleeve clenched a point, but his face was so calm.

Along the way, the bustling people on the main street of Dashi followed the king of Yan all the way, King Yan was approachable and greeted the people, the queen heard the lively movement outside and also lifted the curtain to see the crowd of onlookers outside, she looked at them with a smile, but the cold wind poured into the carriage, she coughed violently, she hurriedly lowered the curtain, her eyes coughed red, she helplessly covered her chest with her right hand, and the maid who accompanied her outside heard the cough and asked loudly.

"The Queen? How are you? ”

"I... Ahem...... It's okay, I'm fine, it's okay..."

The maid was a little worried, but didn't ask anything more.

The queen clutched her chest, she felt better, leaning on the back wall of the carriage with her eyes closed, she thought of Huo Xun, and thought of Huo Ling, and after Chinese New Year's Eve, Huo Xun will be twenty years old, Huo Ling will be fifteen years old, the children have grown up, but how long can her sick body accompany them?

And Huo Qi... When Huo Qi was also the prince of Yan Kingdom, he traveled to various countries, and when he arrived in Changyi, the capital of Daxia, he met the eldest princess who liked to joke nonsense when he was young, at that time, he disguised herself as a man and mixed in the restaurant and casino, and once she lost all her money in a gamble, and was about to be chased by the casino owner when she was rescued by Huo Qi, she fell in love with the young Huo Qi at first sight, and kept pestering Huo Qi, following him every day, repeating "Where did you come from, this princess loves you very much"

She was tireless, but Huo Qi seemed indifferent.

After many inquiries, she unexpectedly found that Huo Qi was the crown prince of Yan Kingdom, and she was happy to ask her father to marry Yan Kingdom after returning to the palace of Changyi, but she didn't expect her father to have this intention.

She felt that the whole world was brightened, and a few months later, the edict was issued, and she embarked on the journey to Yan with full enthusiasm and anticipation, and when she arrived at the prince's mansion, she found that Huo Qi had already married an unknown young lady Shen Xiangxiang as his wife, Huo Qi told him that he only loved Shen Xiangxiang alone in his life, and it was she who broke his promise and took the position of the eldest lady of Xiangxiang, and then Huo Qi ascended the throne, and never married another woman until today, and the world is rumored to be Huo Qi's love for the eldest princess, but where is this, Huo Qi, In fact, there is only one woman in your eyes, Shen Xiangxiang, she is gentle and generous, considerate, and I, I can't do anything... Ji Gu shook his head, Huo Qi, you really should think like this, otherwise although Shen Xiangxiang's son Huo Chong is the eldest son, he is not a son-in-law, the prince is the eldest son, why is Xun'er neglected, it's all me, it's all me.

"Ahem, cough, cough..."

The queen coughed violently again, tears soaking her eyes for some reason.

Noon arrived, the altar is a towering earthen platform on the outskirts of Dashi City, there are countless steps to the top of the platform, the four corners of the altar are lit with high torches, the royal flag flutters in the wind, the center of the altar is placed on behalf of the identity of the king of Yan Yang Jue Dading, the specifications are second only to the Son of Heaven Fang Xu Dading, the north of the Yangjue Dading is the east and west of the three sides of the low case seat, the case is placed with food and wine, the seat in the north is Huo Qi is sitting in danger, the queen is sitting beside him, and Mrs. Shen is sitting on the left side of Huo Qi, the prince Huo Chong is standing on her side.

On the right is from Mrs. Shen, the third prince Huo You, who has just turned twelve years old, and then the marquis of the Yan royal family.

The faction on the left side of Dading is to be an important minister and a foreign envoy.

Under the altar, there was a black oppressive crowd of onlookers, the forbidden army stood in front of them to form a cordon, and in the center surrounded by the crowd below the altar, a wooden platform was erected high, and the people talked about it in the center of the wooden platform.

"This year's autumn harvest festival is also a coming-of-age ceremony for the second prince and Princess Jingyue!"

A strong man with firewood on his back stabbed a middle-aged farmer standing next to him with a child around his neck and a hoe.

"Ah, yes, yes, I read the notice posted next to the city gate a month ago, but I can't read, and I still listen to the soldiers..."

The farmer said, and an old woman took over the conversation, "I hope that this year's blessing of the sacrificial ceremony, Yan Guo still has good luck, I haven't fought in five years, I like such days... So that my son can stay with me......"

The celebrant on the altar stepped forward and announced to the people, "Rite up—"

So, everyone present quieted down and waited for the ceremony.

In the distance, the son of the great Situ Chen Yun, a son who was also high-spirited and fought in all directions as a young man, Chen Zhuan drove four white horses to pull a very beautiful float wrapped in peony petals, and King Yan saw the float and turned his head to signal the prince Huo Chong, Huo Chong bowed his head lightly, took the curved bow and silver arrow that the commander of the forbidden army rode and walked to the edge of the altar.

When Chen Zhuan tightened the reins and the four white horses stopped firmly on the edge of the wooden platform, Huo Chong's silver arrow was wound and bent with the bow, aiming at the bell tied to the roof of the float, and the arrow feathers sped away in the next moment.
