Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Ceremony of Worshipping the Heavens
On this day, the festival has finally arrived.
The world is not long, and everyone has to go.
Even if the queen is still in confinement, she still has to go.
It's just that Shangguan Qi can't go, anyway, he has to stay in the Buddha hall all the time.
Early in the morning, Shangguan Yue took a bath and washed his hair when he got up.
Then sit down in front of the dresser and start combing your hair.
Liu Yu's craftsmanship is very good, and when she combs her hair, she is extremely soft, and she will not feel tight at all when she combs her hair slowly.
Shangguan Yue was a little sleepy, so she kept squinting her eyes and leaning on the chair to ask her to comb her hair.
Early in the morning, the whole palace was busy.
Shangguan Yue narrowed for a moment, then opened his eyes.
It didn't take long for Liu Yu to comb her hair.
Little girls have loose hair, and she is no exception.
Half of the hair is draped, half tied up.
The bun is piled up like a cloud, and a jade-white pendant on the forehead seems to be falling, which looks like a strange agility.
Her eyes were originally round and big, but her eyes were calm, with some agility, eight treasures of gold fork swaying, golden red coral Yingluo, butterfly white jade earrings, and wearing various sachets and jade around her waist.
The makeup is not very bright, but a silver-red rouge is dyed at the corner of her eyes, and she picks it up slightly, she squints and smiles, and suddenly looks forward to the color, and a strange charm and brightness appears.
Yuezhu couldn't help but take a breath, to be honest, when she was dressed up, her temperament was more calm and noble than that of the queen.
"How?" Shangguan Yue asked.
Yuezhu said: "It looks good, the princess is dressed up, and she looks much better than the third princess!" โ
Shangguan Yue smiled helplessly, and then said, "You! โ
Liu Yu said: "Okay, princess, we are going to leave." โ
Shangguan Yue nodded, and then said, "Yuezhu, you can prepare a box of smaller pastries later, and eat them on the way." โ
They usually eat when they get up, but they don't usually use much, but anyway, today is a big event, and they are so busy that they don't have time to eat.
Yuezhu nodded: "It's ready." โ
Several people went down to eat, and when they returned, they planned to set off.
The steps were ready, and they immediately went to the palace gate.
In front of the palace gate, there is generally a guard of honor at the front, behind is the emperor and queen, as well as various concubines and princesses, and behind is the prince.
Of course, there is only one prince, and that is Jun Mochen with a different surname.
Behind are all kinds of officials, big and small, at the front are the left and right prime ministers, and the Shangshu Shilang of the six departments.
The palace maid and eunuch or something, it looks like it's just mighty.
After everyone rests here, they can go to the altar to worship the heavens.
After that, I have to go to the imperial temple to offer incense.
The itinerary is still very tight.
Shangguan Yue walked over slowly, and then fought next to his position, the emperor and queen had not yet come, and others could not sit.
She stood in a position that was not in front of her, so she could see the person behind her.
Not long after, Jun Mochen, who was dressed in formal clothes, came.
He came with the morning light, and he was full of beauty.
The formal dress he wears is mainly black and red, the crown of his hair is ink, and a dark red gem is dotted in the middle, and his face is handsome and cannot be forced.
The formal wear makes him more and more noble, and his ascetic temperament is also on a higher level.
When he walked over like that, Shangguan Yue was stunned, how could this person be so good-looking?
Call her how to live this woman!
The heart is very active, but the hand is not slow, and slowly curtsy the knees: "See Uncle Huang." โ
Jun Mochen bowed slightly: "Get up." โ
He should have been in the same place after he finished speaking, but he didn't expect to come over.
He was already more than 1.8 meters tall, which was a world of difference from Shangguan Yue, so when she came over, she had to look up hard to see his face.
"Today, you look good."
His voice was very low, so he became more and more hoarse and deep, and Shangguan Yue couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
I didn't know what I was thinking, so I replied: "Uncle Huang is also very handsome!" โ
Jun Mochen raised his eyebrows slightly: "Huh? โ
"What do you mean handsome?"
Shangguan Yue: "ยทยทยทยทยทยท! โ
"Well, that is, the queen is handsome and dashing."
She hurriedly explained, Jun Mochen raised her eyebrows, as if she was thinking about something.
Half paid, he was about to speak, and someone suddenly shouted in the distance: "Your Majesty, the queen has arrived." โ
So, what Jun Mochen wanted to say, he took it back and saluted directly.
The emperor and queen got into the car, and the others got in the car one after another.
Shangguan Yue bowed to him, then turned to leave.
Jun Mochen looked at her back, his eyes deepened slightly, and then he also turned to leave.
The road is full of royal forest troops who open the way, in order to meet the face of the Son of Heaven, the common people are watching on the road, which is extremely lively.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"
Along the way, they all shouted the emperor, and occasionally other people were called, but most of them were called Jun Mo Chen, because he was handsome!
Shangguan Yue took out a box of dim sum, and then ate it in small bites, only thinking it was funny.
Along the way, I went to the altar of worship, and at this time, the emperor was sent to the altar by two courtiers, one writer and one martial arts, to worship the heavens, and then state the decree.
The others started from the stairs and went down the steps, and then all the way down, not far from the Imperial Foresters, were the people watching the ceremony.
Shangguan Yue stood in front, and there were two palace maids standing on the left and right, that is, Yuezhu and Liu Yu.
The people were also very angry with the royal family, and from time to time began to discuss which of these people was the best-looking.
Often at this time, everyone will not care, because there is nothing in the market.
Jun Mochen and the prime minister sent the emperor to the altar on the left and right, and after going up, everyone knelt down and saluted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." โ
The emperor did not say much, but began to state the gains and losses of his reign for a year.
Everyone else listened on their knees, because if the emperor had to stand, they could not stand.
Yuezhu was still afraid that Shangguan Yue would not be able to kneel, but she didn't know that she was actually very capable of kneeling.
A group of people listened, almost drowsy, and after an hour, it was over.
So the emperor turned around and went up and began to worship the heavens, put the sacrifices on the table, and then the Qin Tianjian began to worship the heavens according to the procedure.
After two hours, everything was done.
Everyone stood up one after another.
Yuezhu wanted to help Guan Yue, but she was refused, because her kneeling legs were numb.
Shangguan Yue looked around, then stood up, and didn't look like anything was going on.
Wang Ruohan and the others lined up in the distance, because they were courtiers, they could only be in the back, after all, the royal family was the largest.
After half the salary, everyone waited for the emperor to come down, and after getting down, they took a car to the imperial temple.
