Since the establishment of the Great Chu Dynasty, the continuation of prosperity in Jingzhou has not been broken. Today's beginning of winter, every 100 years of the Great Chu, the entire Jingzhou City is bathed in a festive atmosphere. Cut new clothes, wear costumes, and the New Year will be more lively. In order to present the best appearance to the rest of the foreigners who came from afar at tonight's celebration, so that they can feel the prosperity of the Great Chu Heavenly Dynasty.

Emperor Yuan went out of the palace early in the morning to worship the heavens and ancestors, and returned in the evening. The delicacies of the dinner party could not arouse everyone's appetite, and they were all ready to go to the imperial city with Emperor Yuan to preside over the celebration. Because he wanted to be familiar with the whole process, Yu Zhao didn't have time to come over to the banquet, and estimated that the time was about the same, and then he went to the palace to walk with Emperor Yuan.

As soon as she entered the hall, she immediately gave people a visual impact, and the head and face of the gorgeous dress were even more stunning, and the whole body was decorated and shining. was so amazed that all the concubines' jealousy was thrown aside, and they couldn't help but look at it and marvel. Emperor Yuan was very satisfied, and came up to help her to walk, Chu Zikai followed beside him, and the afterglow swept Yu Zhao, who was too beautiful to describe in words, and his steps shook and swayed, as if he was swept on his heart. Xindao This is still the clothes made by the imperial concubine, if it is a nine-tailed phoenix robe...... His thoughts were interrupted by Emperor Yuan's shout, and Chu Zikai hurriedly asked, "What does the father emperor command?"

Emperor Yuan looked at Zhan Xiao who was following behind, and instructed him: "Princess Burning Xia has just arrived, you take her with you, don't let her feel that you have snubbed her."

Listening to Emperor Yuan's words, Chu Zikai couldn't help but glance at Yu Zhao, seeing her frank and uncaring look, he was a little sad, and whispered: "Yes." "Backed back a little.

Before climbing the city wall, the bustle outside could no longer be stopped, and bunches of golden and silver trees rose and bloomed in the night sky. When you walk up the palace ladder and stand on a high place, the whole city of Jingzhou is bustling and lively, and the people see that Emperor Yuan is coming, and they cheer boldly, kneeling down and shouting: "Great Chu Qianqiu, long live Your Majesty." ”

Then Yu Zhao also appeared in everyone's sight, and many people saw this world-famous Concubine Chen for the first time. Sure enough, as described, he had the posture of a celestial man, and there was an exclamation. Emperor Yuan was satisfied and pulled Yu Zhao's hand forward, stood in the most conspicuous place, and accepted everyone's worship.

When the hour came, the celebration was announced loudly, the drums were loud, accompanied by the joyful sound of people singing and dancing, so that the envoys and people from all over the world could not help but be infected by this atmosphere and enthusiastically enjoyed the grand ceremony.

The night breeze carries a chill, but it does not dispel people's joy. The concubines didn't care about their posture, and leaned forward slightly to observe the grand scene.

When it was time to enjoy with the people, the palace people presented gold leaf and silver flowers, and Emperor Yuan and Yu Zhao held a gold bowl, which was full and sprinkled to the crowd. As soon as the wind blew, the gold leaf spread out in all directions, and the people present, whether they were Dachu people or not, knelt down to thank Emperor Muyuan for his grace and thanksgiving.

The excitement lingered, and Yu Zhao's hands were a little red from the wind, but he still followed the process. The last link, on behalf of the concubines of the harem, will send homemade shoes and socks to the lonely and helpless children of Da Chu. The chamberlain took the things in Yu Zhao's hand, went out of the city gate and gave them to the children who had lost their parents, and took the thanks one by one. At the end of the celebration, Emperor Yuan ordered to prepare to return. Suddenly, I heard a strange commotion in the crowd, and I couldn't help but turn my head to check.

I saw that among the group of orphans, there was a little girl crying and making a fuss. Pointing to Yu Zhao on the city wall, he shouted: "It's because of her that my mother died, I don't want her things......"

There was such an accident in the Epoch Celebration, everyone was a little surprised, and the words of the demon concubine, who had been forgotten by people, were mentioned again at this moment. Everyone whispered, and when they saw that there were more people discussing, their voices and courage became louder and louder. With the little girl's cry, the people began to point fingers at Yu Zhao.

There were also foreigners present, and such a thing happened, Emperor Yuan swept his cold eyes towards the people of the Ministry of Rites, and a cadre of people knelt on the ground and trembled. The voices of the people grew louder and louder, and they knew the law and did not blame the people, and the little girl cried pitifully and became bolder.

"A demon concubine is a demon concubine after all, and no matter how many good things she does, she can't cover up her sins. If this woman is not removed, the people of Dachu will be worried and uneasy......"

"Please also listen to the voices of the people, Your Majesty. Don't let the demons blind you......"

"Such a femme fatale, with a high-sounding leather face, is not worthy of the worship of the people......"

The accusations from all directions made Yu Zhao physically and mentally exhausted, and the concubines were secretly refreshed when they saw this. Everyone's eyes were on Yu Zhao, Chu Zikai couldn't see Yu Zhao being humiliated, and stepped forward to ask: "Father, let's go back to the palace first." ”

Emperor Yuan nodded helplessly, turned around with Yu Zhao, and heard someone shouting: "The demon concubine stayed, why did she leave, isn't it because she is weak and afraid to face, and the taste of the unjust soul asking for her life at night is good?"

Some foreigners who don't know what to do followed and coaxed: "This woman will not be removed!" It is difficult for Da Chu to make our people surrender......"

Someone took the lead, and the rest of the people began to condemn Emperor Yuan for only caring about his concubine and not listening to public opinion. Emperor Yuan was so angry when he heard this, it was difficult to calm his breathing, and Yu Zhao was even more scolded and looked depressed.

The girl shouted hoarsely: "Demon Princess, you killed my mother, I hate you-"

No one likes the feeling of being hated for no reason, Yu Zhao is too, he is very sad in his heart, and seeing that the anger of the people seems to be implicated in the source emperor Chu Zikai again, he sighed lightly, held back his grievances and turned around, and everyone looked at her suspiciously.

Yu Zhao only stepped forward, and now at the front of the city wall, standing still, calmly facing all kinds of ugly scolding, and did not make any statement. Gradually, the voices became quieter and quieter, and after a while, everyone fell silent.

It was crowded with people, but it was unusually quiet. Everyone looked at Yu Zhao, except for the sound of the cold wind whistling, only the little girl's cry echoed.

After a long time, Yu Zhao exhaled, took off the phoenix crown on his head and handed it down, and Zhuo Yao took it puzzled. Everyone looked at Yu Zhao to see what her next move would be.

Taking a step back to make room for it, Yu Zhao stood in front of him with his hands level, facing the cloth-clothed people below, bent his knees, bowed his body, and bowed his head. A big salute. There was no sin, but now this is a ritual to make amends, but in fact, it is to knock out your teeth and swallow blood.

Originally, when Yu Zhao made meritorious contributions to Concubine Chen, Emperor Yuan told the world not to kneel and salute, but Du She had to let her bend down. Now he is willing to remove the crown and lower his posture to make such a big gift to the common people. The crowd was amazed.

The people in the crowd who were a little more sensible knew that the matter was not as serious as they said, and it was an exaggeration to spread the rumors. Seeing that the imperial concubine in a high position was so kind, in order to avoid the sin of disrespect of the people, she carefully removed the phoenix crown before saluting. I was impressed and couldn't help kneeling down to return the salute.

The people are the easiest to be led by the nose, whether they slander Yu Zhao or not, it is good to be subjugated by Yu Zhao at this moment. That's all the same. Someone took the lead, and those people knelt down, and rows of people bowed their heads one after another, and the scene was extremely spectacular. Seeing that the little girl was no longer crying, Yu Zhao got up.

Emperor Yuan stepped forward, spoke majestically, asked the people to be exempt, and personally put the phoenix crown on Yu Zhao in front of everyone. No longer hearing the insults, Da Chu Qianqiu's cries rose higher and higher. can be regarded as saving the royal face in front of foreign clans. Emperor Yuan knew, and Chu Zikai also knew that Yu Zhao's gift should not have been done for herself. Let go of your mind and body for the sake of the overall situation.

Chu Zikai suddenly thought of the promise he made to her in the barracks that day: I will not let you suffer such grievances in the future.

As if these words were still in his ears, Chu Zikai thought of another broken promise he made to her. I didn't feel good in my heart, and I stepped forward to protect her downstairs, but Yu Zhao limped and was bypassed, so I had to follow closely behind, absentmindedly responding to the questions and concerns of the people next to me.
