After Luo Lifei and Wang Yurou took the initiative to confess to Li Ziyou, they were only fined for two months, but there was nothing to do.

In this palace and outside the palace, everyone is full of energy, and everything is safe. Chu Qingluo lived a rare few days of calm as water.

Finally, the legendary grand summer festival was ushered in.

On this day, the sun had not yet risen, a mist was condensed in the air, and morning dew hung on the branches and leaves. But everyone was already waiting at the Temple of Heaven early, only waiting for the empress's phoenix car to arrive, and this sacred ceremony could be regarded as the curtain.

The huge Temple of Heaven is in the shape of a perfect circle, stacked on top of each other, with a total of three layers. The princesses and princes gathered on the second floor under the Temple of Heaven, and the female officials and their retinue gathered on the lowest floor. The people who came to watch the ceremony were isolated 100 meters away from the Temple of Heaven and could only watch from afar. Fortunately, the top floor of the Temple of Heaven was built very high, so that they could have the honor to see the empress's demeanor.

Nine-tails, Tongmu and Gongsun Yu also followed Chu Qingluo early in the morning and occupied a good position to watch the ceremony.

All the female officials are going to be present today, and the uniforms of the tenth-order female officials are of different colors, which are very eye-catching, and people can distinguish them at a glance. And the executive officers are numerous, and they are uniformly light purple official uniforms. Chu Qingluo was behind Li Ziyou, standing with Peony, but Gongsun Yu, who was far away, it was difficult for the three of them to find her in the crowd.

Before the empress arrived, Chu Qingluo looked around.

There are only nine female officials in the tenth order, and in addition to Li Ziyou and Ji Jie, there is also a female official who is very young. She was dressed in a green official uniform, her jet-black hair was tied up high by a golden crown, and she had a sword at her waist, looking heroic.

Handsome! Chu Qingluo couldn't help but secretly admire, judging from her official uniform, she should be a fourth-grade female official in charge of the military-Yao Man, but she never thought that she was such a young and handsome woman.

In the center of the top floor of the Temple of Heaven, there are sacrificial offerings such as cow heads and sheep heads. Yu Fei, the female official of the second grade, was burning incense, and the expression on her face was as rigorous as the black and white official uniform on her body.

Gongsun Yu's mother, Gongsun Ruyi, was wearing a rose-colored official uniform, she happened to glance over here, and Chu Qingluo looked at each other, and the two nodded tacitly.

Gongsun Ruyi was standing next to Ji Jie, who was dressed in a yellow official uniform, she was stretching her neck to look at the upper floor of the Temple of Heaven, following her gaze, Chu Qingluo found that the person she was looking for was the fifth prince Ji Qili. Chu Qingluo secretly snickered, no matter what, Ji Qili is also a handsome guy, and it is normal for Ji Jie to commit nymphomaniac.

was secretly watching the gossip, Ji Qili's gaze suddenly swept towards her somehow, and Chu Qingluo looked away like a thief...... It's better not to move, and it just met Ji Qiran's gaze next to him.

I'll go!!! She gasped and avoided it again.

Ji Qiran had actually been staring at Chu Qingluo, seeing her looking left and right, she didn't know what she was thinking. It wasn't until she looked at him that she avoided it as if she had seen a plague god, and a trace of displeasure flashed on his face.

At this time, a red sun broke through the clouds and rose in the east, and in a short time it dyed half of the sky red. Accompanied by the solemn music of the guard of honor, the empress's huge phoenix car appeared in people's field of vision. She was dressed in a black gold-inlaid phoenix robe, and a red-eyed peacock opened the screen and the golden hairpin hovered high on the flying bun. Her eyebrows and eyes are flying, her skin is shiny, and her body is plump.

Where is this woman who is over half a hundred years old? Obviously, he looks like he is only thirty or forty years old, and he is too well maintained, no wonder Ziyan is in love with that guy. Chu Qingluo saw the empress for the first time, and there was a little excitement in his heart to be able to spy on the monuments!

"Empress St. Ann!" The crowd saluted in unison.

The empress stretched out a porcelain white jade hand and wanted to get out of the car.

Feng Luan was followed by a woman in a red and black official uniform, this person was the female official Nightshade of Zhengyipin. She took the empress's outstretched hand and carefully helped the empress out of the car.

"All beings are exempt." The empress's voice was loud and magnificent.

Only then did everyone raise their heads.

The empress strode towards the top floor of the Temple of Heaven, and the tail robe was spread on the scrubbed stone steps, and the nightshade also followed all the way to the altar in the center of the top floor, waiting for the auspicious time......

Although the Temple of Heaven was full of black oppressive crowds, it was quiet at the moment. It wasn't until a dazzling beam of light hit the altar that the priest Yu Fei shouted, "The auspicious time has come—" Suddenly, the sound of thunder and drums broke through the silence of the sky. The executive presented a large incense stick that had been lit, as thick as an arm, about half a meter high, and the empress herself inserted it into the bronze incense tripod.

Yu Fei shook off the white dust in his hand and shouted: "One knock on the sky, give me Ji Guofeng and rain, and a bumper harvest in all seasons." The empress took the lead in kneeling to the sky and kowtowing. Immediately they followed, kneeling down and prostrating.

"Two knocks on the ground, give me Ji country no disasters and no difficulties, peace and tranquility." The empress kowtowed again, and everyone kowtowed.

"Three knocks on the gods of heaven, give me the prosperity and prosperity of the people of Ji Country." The empress knocked again, and everyone followed.

"Tea ceremony—"

The empress got up, and Chu Qingluo also wanted to stand up...... One foot was straightened, only to find that everyone around him was still kneeling, so he hurriedly gathered his feet and squatted back.

Yu Fei handed the three cups of tea to the empress in turn, and the empress sprinkled them on the Temple of Heaven in order.

"Toast—" Again, three more glasses of wine were spilled.

"Tribute meat—" The empress herself used a dagger to cut off a small piece of meat on the head of a cow or a sheep and placed it in a prepared vessel.

"Spill blood—" One executive grabbed a large rooster with both hands, and another cut its neck with a dagger, filled it with chicken blood with a utensil, and handed it to Yu Fei.

Yu Fei took the chicken blood, muttered a string of yin and yang strange spells that Chu Qingluo couldn't understand at all, and then dipped the tips of his thumb and middle finger in the chicken blood, flicked it on the ground and went up, and finally dipped it in the blood of his thumb, and wiped it on the empress's full and high forehead.

"The sacrificial music ——, up—" Hearing the sound, the ceremonial music sounded again. At this moment, everyone got up one after another, and Chu Qingluo already felt a slight numbness in his calves.

Ji Qiran's location was diagonally above Chu Qingluo, so she could see it very clearly. He was already familiar with the process of sacrificing to the sky, and he had completely lost the nature of seeing, and he was all about observing her actions, and he had a full view of the action of wanting to get up and the embarrassment on her face as soon as the ritual began, and he didn't miss even the action of her rubbing her knees just now.

I used to think she was noisy and annoying, but I didn't know that she also had such a frank and cute side. But this side made him feel a strong sense of strangeness, as if he had never known her.

After the music stopped, Yu Fei shouted, "After the ceremony—"

"Congratulations to the Holy Heavens! Congratulations to Ji Guotai and the people! The voices of the princess, prince and female officials under the Temple of Heaven sounded in unison, and Chu Qingluo also pretended to follow, but he didn't spit out a complete word in his mouth. This scene made her instantly think of Mr. Nan Guo, and it was not easy to fill up the number indiscriminately.

Fortunately, the sacrifice ceremony of this summer festival is completed.

The empress returned to the Fengluan car, and the majestic guard of honor and the female officials and entourage gathered around her, and went back to the palace in a mighty manner, leaving only a small number of attendants to guard Daxiang. Chu Qingluo followed the crowd, and coldly saw Gongsun Yu and the three of them who were watching not far away.

Nine-tails and Tongmu finally found her in the endless stream of pedestrians, waving at her enthusiastically, while Gongsun Yu stood silently. Chu Qingluo also wanted to wave to them, but realizing his current identity, he just winked at them with a smile in response.
