The Tang Dynasty has had the rule of worshiping the heavens and ancestors since the Zhenguan period, that is, during the reign of Emperor Taizong, and later emperors have also continued this custom, and the time is set at the autumn equinox every year.

At dawn on this day, the sky was faintly bright, and there were princes and grandsons, civil and military officials, etc. in front of the white marble steps of Lingyan Pavilion.

First of all, the chief eunuch recited the decree loudly, and as for what he was saying, I was a little confused, and I was pulled up and dressed up early in the morning, and I was still drowsy at this time, and I only heard the old eunuch's voice buzzing in my ears.

Probably means that everyone on the merit list of Lingyan Pavilion in the world of the Tang Dynasty has been defeated, and I, as the emperor, will always remember your merits, and I also ask the heroic spirits of the generals to continue to protect the national fortune of the Tang Dynasty......

After the recitation of the decree, the two saints and the prince entered the Lingyan Pavilion together to offer incense and thanks, and the civil and military officials and various concubines bowed three times and bowed nine times on the jade steps outside.

After the ceremony, the two saints, the queen, the prince and I, the princess, all sat in the sedan chair, followed by a group of yawning civil and military officials, and then behind them were the mighty armies, marching towards the Taimiao.

Sitting in a bumpy sedan chair, I couldn't help yawning a few more, sleepiness swept over, and I fell asleep again, suddenly, a chill came up from the bottom of my heart, and when I opened my eyes, I found that Li Hanyan was looking at me coldly.

I thought maybe I was sitting too casually, so I had no choice but to fold my hands on my thighs and sit upright, and Li Hanyan looked away.

After about a cup of tea, I glanced out of the corner of my eye and found that the cold ice cube was not spared, and I was actually dozing off.

He was wearing a four-clawed dragon suit with intricate patterns and gold wires, and a silver crown of dragon arch beads, and the silk silk that fell from the top rippled on his cold and frosty face, which was a little itchy for me, an obsessive-compulsive disorder, and I couldn't wait to reach out and pry away those eyesore, so that I could look at his face to the fullest.

"Don't say it, this guy is still quite eye-catching when he is quiet, why does he look so annoying on weekdays." I dragged my chin and carefully studied his facial features, and the sleepiness suddenly subsided a lot.

The bridge of the nose is high, the lips are thin, the contours of the face are delicate and distinct, and the complexion is a little pale, yes, the kind of pale that has no blood, like a serious illness that will die at any moment.

Just when I was wondering how a big living person could have such a pale complexion, I saw the person in front of me raise his sword eyebrows, lift his eyelashes, and open a pair of cold and deep eyes, his eyes were put to this side, and two words were lightly spit out in his mouth: "What are you doing?" ”

"I didn't do anything, I didn't do anything, I looked at the scenery, I looked at the scenery." After meeting his eyes, I smiled a little awkwardly, hurriedly turned my head, and sat up upright.

Li Hanyan didn't say anything and continued to close his eyes to recuperate.

The location of the temple is not very far, located in the easternmost part of the palace, the mortal world is respected by the oriental green dragon, and the establishment of the temple here also fully reflects the pious respect of the descendants of later generations for the ancestors.

At this time, the sun rises in the east, the light is soft, penetrating the clouds and mist directly down, shining in the magnificent palace complex, because of the layer of gold, so that the already shocking sense of the imperial building is more imposing like a rainbow, people can't help but think: Could it be the ancestor appeared?

Coming to the vast square in front of the temple, the two saints should get down from the sedan chair first, the bright yellow dazzling Nine Dragons Gongwei court clothes, symbolizing the respect of the Ninety-Five, wearing the crown of ten flat heavens, symbolizing the obedience to the mandate of heaven.

The emperor was magnificent, supporting the queen mother to walk in front under the leadership of the guard of honor, with that majesty.

The queen Xiao is dressed in a gorgeous bird and phoenix costume, a splendid xia veil, and a phoenix luan Shuyi crown on her head, supported by two or three people on the left and right, every step is elegant, and the end is the momentum of the mother of the world.

Just when others admired and sighed, I had a surprising idea, thinking that the jewelry she wore as a queen should be much heavier than mine, not to mention more than two catties, doesn't she feel heavy?

With the support of Li Hanyan, I also stepped down from the sedan chair, and as soon as my front feet landed, I felt that my whole head was heavy, and the Qingluan and Mingguan on it and the jewelry inserted in my hair pressed my head to break.

Seeing my head shaking and my steps staggering, Li Hanyan frowned slightly, reached out and pinched my arm lightly, and looked at me with that sharp gaze: "As if to say, do you still want to lose face in front of civil and military officials?" ”

Of course I don't want to, I've already made a fool of myself once before, how can I want to do it again, my aunt and grandmother are also a good-looking person!

In order to alleviate the embarrassing atmosphere, I coughed dryly twice, straightened my waist, and with the support of Li Hanyan, I also learned the appearance of the queen, held my head high, followed the back foot, and walked slowly towards the Taimiao.

This is a quaint and solemn palace, similar to the buildings on the side of the Donghua Emperor's Dojo, the scale is not large, the top is also covered with blue and dark tiles, and the foundation and the surrounding railing steps are also made of white marble.

In anthropomorphic terms, the palace is a strong-blooded, mature and stable adult, while this palace is a weathered old man who gives people a sense of desolation.

Entering the main hall, the first thing that catches your eye is a row of tablets enshrined in the Li Tang royal family since the founding of the country, the emperors of all dynasties.

On the long offering table in front of the tablet are incense burners and candlesticks, with incense curling and clouds of smoke, followed by offerings such as melons, fruits, cakes and three animal prisons.

"It looks delicious!" I swallowed a mouthful of saliva in anger, probably because I didn't eat breakfast, my stomach had already begun to drum, and then I looked at those fat and thin animals, I couldn't wait to rush up and take a bite!

Li Hanyan also noticed my strangeness, turned his head to take a look, frowned, and reminded him indifferently and disdainfully: "Saliva is flowing out." ”

Yes?!

I hurriedly looked down, and found that the saliva was flowing down the corners of my mouth, and it was almost down to the collar, so I hurriedly wiped it clean with my sleeve, and when I was done, I didn't forget to look around, and only after making sure that no one noticed this side did I secretly breathe a sigh of relief and stand up again.

"Hungry?" Li Hanyan asked coldly.

"Nonsense, just get up early in the morning, you have no food and you have to carry so many bulky jewelry, it's no wonder if you're not hungry!" I muttered to myself, but I didn't forget to give him a blank look, expressing my displeasure.

Li Hanyan snorted coldly, turned his head and didn't say anything more.

The ancestor worship ceremony is a solemn and solemn ceremony, when the second saint of the pilgrimage knelt down first, followed by the queen, followed by Li Hanyan and me, the crown princess, and then the prince and grandson of the East Palace.

As for the concubines in the emperor's harem, they can only kneel at the door and are not qualified to enter the palace to worship.

The civil and military officials gathered in the square in front of the main hall, stood in a good position according to the level of rank, and performed three kneeling and nine bowing.

A father-in-law with a whisk in his hand handed a bright yellow brocade silk to the two saints, and the emperor took it and read the above words, and then threw it into a large tripod with a strong open flame and burned it.

After that, the two saints worshiped incense in front of the incense burner at each tablet, and after some turnaround, it was Li Hanyan's turn to go over and worship incense.

I followed Li Hanyan's example and inserted the sandalwood in my hand into each incense burner one column after another, and this process was simply a torture for me.

Because I can see the fruit and pastries on the table with a glance out of the corner of my eye, I can only see but not eat, for a foodie, do you say it is torture?

"With my current martial arts, no one should find out if I hold a little delicious food, right?" I muttered in my heart.

After the incense was finished, the two of us stood on the other side of the main hall, and at this moment, Li Hanyan glanced at me coldly: "According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, theft is a serious crime!" ”

Hearing him say this, my heart couldn't help but tighten, I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and refused to admit it: "Who, who stole it?" Why didn't I see it? ”

"I see it." Li Hanyan was silent for a while, and then continued to speak: "It's inside your cuff." ”

Depend on! Why are this guy's eyes so sharp! I screamed in my heart.

Well, I'll admit it, just now when the incense was on, I couldn't hold back for a while, and stole a few pieces of pastry, I thought that as long as the speed was fast enough, I wouldn't know it, and no one would find out, but I never thought that it was discovered by this sharp-eyed guy!

"I'm calling it hand-taking, not stealing." I corrected stiffly.

Li Hanyan was obviously too lazy to talk to me, so he fell silent, turned his head and stopped looking at me, I was naturally happy to see his behavior, he didn't say it, I didn't say it, it was still unaware.

After all the links with the ancestors were completed, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the first thing I had to do after going back was to take off this troublesome clothes, and then have a good meal!

Next, the second saint took the lead in leaving the main hall, and Li Hanyan and I followed behind the queen and walked down the jade steps

"That's strange, I obviously put down the bed curtain before I went to bed, why did I open it when I woke up?"

"It should have been blown off by the wind, besides, Miss has lost a lot of memories since jumping off the cliff, maybe it's ......" Speaking of this, Su Mu stopped talking again.

I know what she means, that is, jumping off a cliff broke my brain, all my memories are gone, and it is normal to forget some details around me.

But it wasn't me who jumped off the cliff, and it was just to avoid the suspicion of Xue Qingshan and the sect elders.
