Chapter 193: The Rite of Sacrifice to the Heavens, the Sun is Out! Plus more, drill drill 4200 ~ thank you for your support ~~
The palace quickly prepared a ceremony to worship the heavens.
The worship of heaven is not held in the palace, but in a temple in the eastern part of the city.
At that time, officials of all sizes in the DPRK and China will be present, and even the people in the city will come to watch.
Prince Feng Mingxiang stood behind the Praetorian Guards, looking at the black crowd gathered outside the temple.
Numerous torches are lit inside the temple. It shines as bright as day.
Faintly, he heard the chatter in the crowd.
"If the sacrifice to heaven fails, the crown prince is afraid that he will not be able to succeed to the throne."
"The imperial city is full of ghosts, this is a bad omen, only those who can get rid of ghosts are worthy of being emperors."
"It's easy to say, even the soul master in the palace can't do it"
"The crown prince is the true son of heaven, and he should be the one who is favored by the Suzaku God. They should be able to do things that ordinary people can't. ”
The prince silently retreated into the shadows.
"What is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince worried about?" A soft female voice came from behind her.
The prince's back stiffened, but quickly relaxed. Turn around.
"Imperial Aunt." He called.
Princess Yongqing stood there, dressed in white. The face is covered with a veil.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, don't be afraid, you are the orthodox bloodline of the royal family, and the gift of sacrificing to the heavens should get rid of the ghost qi."
The crown prince raised his little face and smiled, "Thank you Imperial Aunt Jiyan." ”
Princess Yongqing looked at his bright smiling face and couldn't help but be stunned.
In this case, she felt that the prince must be afraid.
In any case, the crown prince is only six years old this year, although he looks like a little adult. But after all, it is a child, and it is inevitable that there will be fear in this situation.
But look at the smile on his face now. Princess Yongqing felt as if there was something she hadn't grasped.
Officials of all sizes gathered in the courtyard of the temple.
Yu Yanjie, the Marquis of Xiting, and Yu Ying, the son of the world, are also impressively listed.
Yu Ying watched the figures of Princess Yongqing and the crown prince flash in the Praetorian Guard. He turned to look at his father.
"Does my father still want to be reconciled with my mother?"
Xiting Marquis Yu Yanjie was expressionless, "Wait for the new monarch to succeed to the throne." So I went up with the fold. ”
Yu Ying sighed, "Why bother. ”
Yu Yanjie smiled sadly, "We are only torturing each other together, it is better to separate earlier." ”
"I think my mother likes my father." Yu Ying said in a low voice.
"So what." Yu Yanjie's tone was slightly cold, "She was originally a royal princess, with golden branches and jade leaves. She can get anything she wants, but it's a pity that she doesn't understand that emotional things can be obtained with power. She thinks that killing the woman I love and forcing me to bow my head and submit is to like it? ”
Yu Ying's pale face became weaker and weaker in the light of the torches. "I thought my father would have let go of it after so many years."
"There are some things that you can never let go."
"But you finally have me and my little sister."
Yu Yanjie was silent for a moment, I don't know if it was Yu Ying's hallucination, he seemed to see his father's shoulder collapse.
He opened his mouth, but finally did not ask the rest of the question.
"This palace will not agree to the matter of harmony." A female voice suddenly sounded behind him, startling everyone.
Princess Yongqing came to the back of the crowd at some point. Standing behind Yu Ying and his father.
Yu Yanjie's face sank, "It doesn't matter if you agree or not." When the new monarch succeeds to the throne, I will hand the fold up. ”
"It's useless." Princess Yongqing said calmly, "The new monarch has just established, and it is impossible to agree to your request, and it is not good for the royal family to leave at this time." ”
Yu Yanjie's eyes dimmed, "These are always the things you think of." ”
"This palace is the first princess of the Feng Kingdom. You should think about the royal family. Princess Yongqing glanced around, and the officials who looked at her curiously immediately lowered their heads.
Princess Yongqing chuckled disdainfully, "The ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens will start in a while, you go to the front with the palace." ”
At the front is the seat of the royals.
Yu Ying had no objections. Yu Yanjie shook his head, "No need, I'm just here." ”
Princess Yongqing saw that neither of them moved nor got angry, and left alone.
Yu Ying looked at her mother's elegant back, covered her mouth with her sleeves, and coughed lowly.
All the people were gathered outside the temple.
Yu Miaomiao also crowded into the crowd, protecting Ming Ruyan and the others by her side, all of whom changed into the clothes of ordinary people, and surrounded her in the middle to avoid being hit by the crowd.
"Can the sacrifice of heaven really get rid of the ghost qi?" Yu Miaomiao asked the women around her who were dressed up like a face.
Ming Ruyan dressed as a maid and protected her side.
"It's hard to say." Bright as Yan Yu Dao. "According to the historical records of the Feng Kingdom, if the emperor is favored by the Vermilion Bird Divine Envoy, he will attract phoenix fire from the sky and burn all the ghosts."
Yu Miaomiao couldn't help but think of the Vermilion Bird Divine Envoy she saw when she was in the Feng Tower.
Golden flames, huge firebirds.
She looked into the distance.
The prince walked out surrounded by everyone.
Will the Suzaku Divine Envoy really appear?
She wasn't sure.
However, the crown prince is a good boy, and she believes that he will become a good emperor in the future.
But if today's ritual of worshipping the heavens fails, it is likely that it will be difficult for him to ascend to the throne again.
If he can't be the emperor, then the next one will be inherited by the second prince Feng Leizhi or the third prince Feng Yujie.
There is also a big prince who has been guarding the border pass, she has never even seen it, she has only heard Ming Ruyan say that his age is very different from that of several other princes.
It should be more than twenty years old.
The crown prince appeared, and the crowd was neutral and there was a commotion.
Feng Leizhi stood in the front row, and beside him stood the three princes, followed by the little princess Feng Jundai.
Yu Miaomiao noticed that Wei Jiuxiao was also on the side.
"Prince, the hour has come." A eunuch stepped forward and said.
The prince nodded, and walked out of the crowd with a thin body.
Yu Miaomiao stood there and watched, only feeling that the prince's appearance was a little pitiful.
A small child, at this age, should be pampered in the arms of his parents, but he can only be alone.
The ritual of worshipping the heavens begins.
As the bells and drums rang out, everyone fell silent.
The prince bowed to the sky with incense.
The ceremony is complicated and long.
Yu Miaomiao stood there and looked a little sleepy.
"How much longer?" She whispered to Ming Ruyan.
Ming Ruyan looked at the sky, "It's early, if the Vermilion Bird Divine Envoy doesn't show miracles, the prince can keep bowing." ”
Yu Miaomiao secretly spoke, this is too unreasonable.
Ming Ruyan said helplessly, "This is the rule." ”
The prince's thin body bowed down again and again, and even Yu Miaomiao couldn't bear to look at it.
"What if the Suzaku Divine Envoy falls asleep?" Do you really let the little guy of the prince bow in public for a whole day? I'm going to die!
Ming Ruyan quietly covered her mouth, "It's almost there"
What's fast?
Yu Miaomiao's eyes turned chaotic.
Ming Ruyan pointed to the sky.
Yu Miaomiao didn't know why, she took advantage of the situation and raised her head.
Suddenly, a dark shadow crossed the sky.
The figure was somewhat familiar, like a crow.
Belch? Seems like three thousand?
Yu Miaomiao was puzzled.
At this moment, a white light suddenly flashed in the sky, and immediately after, a blinding red sun jumped into everyone's sight
