"Heaven and Earth ...... Boundless"

On the day of the winter solstice, countless civil and military officials, under the leadership of Li Shimin, the emperor, came to the outskirts of Chang'an to hold a ceremony to worship the sky. In the feudal period, human beings believed that there was a force in the underworld that could control the world, so even the emperor had to pray to God to bless everyone with good weather and abundant food and clothing. At this time, all the civil and military officials had to come over to participate in the sacrifice to the heavens, and the emperor Li Shimin, who was the leader, was reading the sacrifice to the heavens. As for the officials below, they must also kneel down on both knees, which is regarded as respect for God.

Although Chen Fei doesn't like to kneel down on his knees, this time it is not for the emperor, but for the so-called "heaven", and Chen Fei can only pinch his nose to admit it. Anyway, no one can avoid kneeling this time, even the emperor, the "Son of Heaven", has to kneel for his "Lao Tzu", what else can Chen Fei say?

As for the next few days, the princes and princesses of Chang'an, as well as the civil and military officials, will also come, and even the high-grade chamberlains will also come. Chen Fei also saw that Zhou Nade, that is, he was serving by Li Shimin's side. And even Princess Wanchun's princess Xiao Xue is coming. However, this princess family Ling Xiao Xue is also by her side, and she can be regarded as Chen Fei's woman. As for the princess, because she is not officially married yet, she can only stand in the ranks of the royal family, and does not stand with Chen Fei.

However, Xiao Xue stood beside Chen Fei, and the meaning was obvious enough. Such a young princess's family order can only be the princess's dowry palace maid, otherwise I really think that the seven-rank official is so good! You must know that the princess's family order is a seven-rank official in the Tang Dynasty official system, and she was generally appointed as a palace maid who is old and qualified. And Princess Wanchun chose this Xiao Xue to serve as the position, and fools know what it means, so the young princess's family order must be married with the princess, otherwise why should the princess treat you preferentially!

And Xiao Xue stood beside Chen Fei, the meaning was already very obvious, that is, it was equivalent to the marriage between Princess Wanchun and Chen Fei, otherwise how could a woman who was married as a princess follow Chen Fei?

"Bow three times and bow nine times to heaven!" Cinnard, the celebrant shouted.

Next. Everyone also has to kneel three times and bow nine times, this is against the heavens. In the Tang Dynasty, it was not like the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the emperor had to kneel three times and bow nine times during the Manchu Dynasty. And the three kneeling and nine knocking in the Tang Dynasty were just rituals for ghosts and gods. In the Tang Dynasty, even if you saw the emperor, you didn't have to kneel, you just had to hold your fists. Unless it is a particularly formal occasion to worship the heavens, three kneeling and nine bows are used, but that is for the heavens, not for the emperor.

"It's really troublesome, when will it end!" Chen Fei scolded secretly.

Although it is already winter. But Chen Fei was also tired and sweating, obviously this sacrifice to the sky is not only mental work, but also physical work. And Xiao Xue next to her also looked very tired, if it wasn't for Chen Fei supporting her, then she would probably be unable to stand steadily.

"Are you alright?" Chen Fei asked.

Xiao Xue shook her head and said, "It's okay!" ”

After all, Xiao Xue is also her own woman in the future, of course, she has to take care of it. Chen Fei, as a woman with three identities that have been determined, and a so-called confidante, must level a bowl of water. In addition to Princess Wanchun, the wife with the highest status, Chen Fei is as fair as possible to other women. However, Chen Fei did not buy any valuable gifts for these women. It's all simple gifts, just for them to have fun, and everyone has them, and there will be no one missing. This is to learn from the Cui family. Except for the main wife, the other concubines are treated equally. And the reason why Chen Fei didn't buy expensive gifts was because most of his income was "confiscated" by Princess Wanchun and used for charity. What Chen Fei can dispose of by himself is the monthly salary, although this money is much better than that of many people. But if you want to buy any expensive gifts, and you still buy a lot of them at one time, it is difficult for Chen Fei to do it.

Therefore, Chen Fei also followed Cui Xiuxiu's teaching method. Spiritual comfort is the mainstay, supplemented by material comfort. Anyway, these women are not people who lack money and living conditions. Chen Fei's status is not low, and they have no worries about food and clothing, so Chen Fei has no more material conditions for them, and there is no need. As long as they can care for them in life, it can be regarded as letting them feel the love of Chen Fei, a man. Anyway, once women do not lack material conditions, what they lack even more is spiritual care. And none of Chen Fei's women lack material conditions, so even if Chen Fei gives them more wealth, it is not interesting.

"The sacrifice to heaven is completed, and the civil and military officials exit in an orderly manner!" Cinnard shouted.

"Long live the emperor!" Everyone shouted together, these are all commanded.

Next, everyone also left the stage in an orderly manner, according to the status and grade of the group of people exited, first of all, Li Shimin, you can go to rest first, this time it is enough to make the emperor tired enough. And the next one, two, and three grades, Chen Fei is the fifth grade, and that can only be slowed down. And Princess Wanchun's status as a princess is equivalent to a product, so she can also leave the stage first, and Princess Wanchun didn't forget to look at Chen Fei.

"Hey, it's really troublesome, it's really troublesome to sacrifice to the sky! I don't want to do that next time! Chen Fei complained.

And Princess Wanchun immediately said: "Chen Fei, don't say that, it won't be good if someone hears it." When the time comes, the heavens will punish you, and you will be unlucky. ”

"Bah, my life is up to me, I don't believe that the so-called heavenly punishment can do anything to me." Chen Fei snorted.

As a posterity, how can you believe this? The kings of all dynasties are worshipping the heavens, but those dynasties that should decline will still decline, how can there be heaven's blessing? Chen Fei was sure that Li Shimin, the emperor, had never believed in heaven, otherwise how could he have the courage to launch the Xuanwumen Rebellion? Therefore, worshipping the heavens is just fooling people, but sometimes some emperors fool themselves into it, and they really think that they have the idea of having a destiny on their bodies.

"Okay, okay, if you don't believe it, don't say it, otherwise it will be very bad for you!" Princess Wanchun said.

Obviously, Princess Wanchun is not too interested in this set, so she doesn't look angry.

"Well, there's a lot of work to do. In the next few days of vacation, we have to go to congratulate our bosses and colleagues in the court, I'm afraid it's more tiring than work! Chen Fei complained. (To be continued......)
