Chapter 38: The Ceremony of Worshipping the Heavens
Ning Yu couldn't stand the chatter of the green cloud, and got up slowly, the green cloud hurriedly shouted outside, and the palace maids rushed in with their clothes, shoes and socks, and put them on for Ning Yu one by one.
Ning Yu can now accept the service of the palace maids very calmly, although she also knows that this is not good, but who can refuse the life of clothes to reach out and eat to open their mouths?
When he was girdling, Lu Yun gave an order, and the two palace maids used force at the same time to pull the black silk tightly, Ning Yu couldn't help but snort, "Tap ......"
Ning Yu bent over and coughed dryly: "Do you want to strangle me?" ”
The palace maids didn't dare to say yes, but the movements under their hands were not slow at all.
I've gained a lot of weight these days, and my waist is thick.
Ning Yu touched the slender waist of Ying Ying, who was bound, and was melancholy, she didn't need to be so slender in the past.
The palace maid tied her waist, and five more skillful palace maids pulled the red ribbon around like a flower butterfly, and finally dressed Ning Yu properly.
The big red palace dress was worn on Ning Yu's body, which made her more and more delicate and picturesque.
Today is also a beautiful day.
Ning Yu looked at the person in the mirror, couldn't help but sigh, squinted her eyes and raised her chin, and let the palace maid comb her hair and put on makeup.
……
……
King Yi sent a chariot to wait at the gate of Ruoshui Palace early, and as soon as Ning Yu cleaned up here, a eunuch was urging outside, "It's about to leave, okay?" ”
"Alright, alright!" The voices of the palace maids came out one by one.
Ning Yu strode out, and the four palace maids followed, bending their knees, hunched their waists, holding the long hem of their robes behind, and running in small steps. The rest of the palace maids gathered around Ning Yu in front or behind, opening curtains to take things.
The palace maids hugged Ning Yu and stepped out of the palace gate.
As soon as Ning Yu and the others came out, the eunuch ran over with a smile, bowed down and said, "Wang Ji, the king's side is already in order, and we are waiting for you." ”
As he spoke, the eunuch trotted in front to lift the curtain for Ning Yu.
"Well, hurry up, don't make your father and queen mother wait for a long time." Ning Yu lifted her skirt and prepared to get into the car, two clever palace maids took the lead in climbing into the car and supporting Wang Ji on it, and the two maids helped Ning Yu under the car, and the four of them worked together to help Ning Yu into the car.
Ning Yu bent down and got in, the curtain shook, and she hurriedly shouted to hurry up and go.
When Ning Yu arrived, everyone was already ready to stop, the soldiers of the honor guard were lined up at the gate of the palace, and Zhao Ping, Cheng Feng and other soldiers surrounded the king's car to escort him.
Ning Yu was not too late to pass, and after stopping for half a pillar of incense in place, a group of people marched towards the suburbs.
……
……
Originally, there was no feeling, but now she was a little nervous, Ning Yu had no intention of talking along the way, and the preserved pastries and fruits on the small table in the car did not move, it was surprisingly quiet, and the palace maids were a little unaccustomed to it.
She only closed her eyes and silently recalled the process of the ceremony. Mama had trained her countless times, and she knew the process by heart.
When the chariot arrived at the altar in the suburbs, several palace maids rushed over to help Ning Yu, Ning Yu originally wanted to jump down directly, but after thinking about it, he held back and helped the palace maids to get out of the car. After entering the yuan tent, Lu Yun carefully checked Ning Yu's makeup.
The prince walked in, took a closer look at Ning Yu, and said with a smile: "Jiaojiao is exceptionally beautiful today. ”
He said softly: "Don't be nervous, no matter how many people look at you, as long as you don't look at them, they don't exist." ”
Ning Yu glanced at him, and smiled shallowly, "I see that brother, you are more nervous than me." ”
A bell rang, and the prince hurriedly said to Ning Yu: "The hour has come, go out quickly." ”
Ning Yu took a deep breath and spit out, smiled and nodded, and took the lead, with the prince following behind.
Ning Yu said to herself in her heart: It's nothing, it's nothing, my father is waiting for me at the top of the altar, it's no different from weekdays, it's just an extra step.
Ning Yu breathed a sigh of relief and slowly walked out of the yuan tent, and the palace maids quickly sorted out the clothes and robes for her.
The entire altar is made of mahogany. The white jade is the step, the golden beast is guarded, the altar has a total of ninety-nine steps, wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, standing majestically at the foot of Ebo Mountain, plus the soldiers who are standing around the altar in full armor, which makes people suddenly admire and fear.
All the official guests, dressed in solemn gowns, stood on the viewing platform and looked quietly at the altar.
The people were kept some distance away from the outer ring by the soldiers with spears, and looked at the altar from a distance.
The bells were boiling, incense was curling on the high altar, and the voices of people were boiling.
"Look, there, that's An and Wang Ji!" A sound erupted from the crowd, like a pebble falling into a lake, causing a ripple, and the ripples spread out layer by layer, leading to more sounds.
"Which one? Where is it? The crowd tiptoed and jostled to see.
"That's it, the one in red! It's really like an immortal! ”
At this time, the red sun hangs high, and the sun spreads like water and fire, and the light is shining.
In the melodious sound of the bell, the girl put her hands together in front of her and walked up to the altar.
The girl's appearance is graceful, her posture is dignified, her eyes are looking intently at the altar in front of her, but her little thumb is restless, she hooks her skirt slightly, and lifts the skirt to avoid falling down.
The black hair piles up cloud sideburns, wrapped with gold branches, rings and dingdong, the red tunic skirt, outlines the tall and slender figure exquisitely slender, and is covered with a long mopping gauze robe, the fiery red gauze robe is embroidered with purple and gold silk threads with the fire phoenix, as she walks, the gauze robe unfolds on the white jade steps, and the purple and gold fire phoenix spreads from her waist, as if to spread its wings and fly high into the sky.
I don't know if the sun is too dazzling, or the fire phoenix is too dazzling, everyone is a little dizzy, just quietly looking at the dignified girl, step by step to the top.
Zhao Ping stood in the stands, like everyone else, his eyes fell directly on Ning Yu, because he had practiced archery since he was a child, his eyesight was much better than ordinary people, and his every move was in full view of her.
When he saw Ning Yu quietly and carefully hook the hem of her skirt, she couldn't help laughing.
The little beggar is really silly and cute.
When his gaze fell on her face, even Zhao Ping couldn't help but slow down his breathing.
The woman's skin is like snow, and her appearance is beautiful, which is a little more dazzling than the prince of the first beauty of Da Jiang recognized by everyone in private.
It turns out that the little beggar is dressed up so beautifully......
Zhao Ping thought.
If there are hundreds of purples and thousands of red romances in the world, then she is a hundred purples and thousands of red romances.
Ning Yu stepped on the last step of the stairs, let out a light breath and put down her skirt, pinched her numb little finger quietly, slowly walked to the front of King Yi and stood still, bowing to King Yi.
King Yi looked at Ning Yu and nodded with satisfaction, then took Ning Yu to worship heaven and earth, and then worship the ancestors of the Ning family, Ning Yu walked up the ninety-nine steps, and at this moment his brain was dizzy, and he only knew how to bow and bow in the tedious prayers.
Until the end, when Ning Yu's kneeling legs were numb and he felt that his body was almost all stiff, he finally heard the master of ceremonies announce the end of the sacrifice ceremony.
