The carriage swayed all the way, and we talked on the way, and time passed quickly.

Just like that, when I arrived at the door of the royal altar, the affairs of the harem should be fully responsible for the affairs of the ceremonies, so the female officials of the ceremonial department would come to answer.

I came out first, and then helped Song Tianlan to get out of the carriage, and when I looked up, I saw the appearance of the royal altar, which was really magnificent, and the door was a stone pillar of two sculptures, on which were the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing, lifelike, as if alive, hundreds of steps connected to the gate, and there were already guards with serious faces standing on both sides, guarding.

Solemn and solemn, the gate is the imperial pen of Xia Hongchuan, the first emperor of Luanling, and there are four big characters written in a sprinkled manner: Luanling altar.

After the renovation, it is inlaid with gold, and it looks even more luxurious.

The three concubines got out of the car, and as soon as the people waiting at the door saw it, they immediately greeted them.

Lady Liu glanced at me, then saluted the concubines, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please come with me." ”

"Thank you, Lady Liu, for leading the way." Song Tianlan hurriedly saluted and thanked her, as did the other two concubines.

The etiquette of sending the righteous ceremony is not only numerous, but also complicated.

All the red tape etiquette is done by them, every etiquette and action is clearly stipulated, Luan Ling attaches great importance to these, and the punishment for making mistakes is also very serious, and I just need to follow Song Tianlan and follow it step by step.

I have to say that doing this is really exhausting.

Not to mention those actions, this kowtow will take more than half an hour, from the door to the altar, such a long distance, I don't know who set the rules in the first place, so tormenting.

Before this ceremony began, I was about to be knocked off half my life, but fortunately Xiao Mo didn't come, now, I really envy her.

was still knocking, and I heard the sharp voice of Manager Li at the door: "The emperor and queen have arrived!" ”

I turned my head and saw a large group of people in the direction of the door, the person who walked in front was wearing a dragon robe, followed by a beautifully dressed woman, too far away, I couldn't see the face clearly, I only felt that the emperor's figure was somewhat familiar.

I laughed to myself again, I had never seen the emperor, how could I feel familiar.

Suddenly, all the people around me knelt down, I slowed down, Song Tianlan pulled me, I reacted, and hurriedly knelt down.

With his hands folded and on the ground, his forehead rested on the back of his hand, the people around him were shouting: "Long live my emperor, long live my emperor." ”

I also shouted with them, the emperor walked along the road, I have been in the imperial city for so long, I have never seen the emperor's true face, I think about raising my head to take a peek at nothing.

I only raised it slightly, and I heard Lady Liu whisper beside me: "Luo Qinlin! I don't want to live anymore! ”

I trembled, I didn't expect Lady Liu to kneel beside me, there was no way, I had to give up this bold idea.

The Emperor and Empress walked past us, and we could not get up until we had gone a long way.

When I looked up, I could only see their backs, far away, and I couldn't really see them.

"Qin Lin, even if you usually forget it, you still have to pay attention to some proportions on this occasion." I helped Song Tinglan to stand up, and she whispered to me.

I bowed my head and admitted my mistake: "I know Sister Lan, I don't dare." ”

Song Tianlan shook my hand, I also understand her painstaking efforts, this occasion is too important, this is a ceremony that Luan Ling attaches the most importance to, if he makes a mistake at this time, the punishment will not be so light.

Soon after the emperor entered, it was the ministers who came in, and they entered in a different way from the concubines, they had their manners, and I took a look at them, and they were all people I didn't know.

Among all the ministers and guards, no one saw Nameless, strange, isn't he someone from the emperor's side?

Why didn't you come to such an important occasion?

But I didn't pay much attention to it, after all, there were so many people, and it was normal that I didn't find him.

At the time of the ceremony, the position of the concubine was very far away, and there were only three people who came this time, as well as the personal palace maids, plus the female officials of the Rite Division, there were only dozens of people, which were not as good as these civil and military officials.

From a distance, I could see the emperor and queen standing on the highest altar, their hands folded, praying to the gods to bless the Luanling Empire.

The next step is to burn incense and worship, the heavenly master asks the heavens, answers questions, and the ministers kneel and worship.

Counting, the whole process will take at least more than an hour, I secretly complain in my heart, but I have to pretend to be calm on the surface.

In the distance, there was a person who went up to the sacrificial platform, danced in front of the platform, stood still in front of the emperor and queen, and as soon as he raised his hand, two guards hurriedly handed over the incense in his hand.

The emperor and queen took it, lit it in front of the stove, then knelt down to pray, worshipped, and then inserted the incense in his hand on the incense ash in the bronze small ding.

Then he bowed again.

The emperor took the queen's hand and stood up, facing the ministers, the ministers bowed their heads one after another, they couldn't look directly at Long Yan, and I also drooped, this time, I didn't want to look at him.

The Heavenly Master stood up and asked the emperor and queen to return to the seat on the side, we raised our heads, and the next most important part was to ask the heavens.

At this time, the emperor will ask: "What is Luanling's fortune this year?" ”

My heart trembled, and I looked at the emperor suddenly, it was so far away that I couldn't even hear the content clearly, but how could this voice be......

Then, the Heavenly Master began to ask the heavens, in fact, none of us could understand what he was doing, so he danced casually, walked around the altar twice, and while walking, he was babbling about something, and reading words that we couldn't understand.

After he finished wrapping around, he returned to the altar, and with a plop, he knelt directly in front of the bronze Xiaoding with his eyes closed, and then after a while, he slowly opened his eyes.

He stood up with a serious face, saluted the emperor, and said, "Weichen should die, it's really not good!" Emperor. ”

I was immediately attracted to attention, and I lowered my head to listen carefully to their conversation.

"What's going on?" The emperor's voice was calm.

"The gods have a saying, Luan Ling's fortune star is trapped, which will affect the fortune of the country for a whole year!" The Heavenly Master said to the emperor with a sad face.

The emperor said curiously: "Oh? Where are the stars that the Celestial Master said are trapped? ”

"In the southwest corner of the imperial city, in the prison, the stars flashed twice, and it should be the second in the family, young and young, about twenty-one." The Heavenly Master said to the emperor sincerely.

"Criminal Department!" The emperor suddenly shouted.

"Wechen is here!" The head of the Criminal Department stepped forward.

The emperor said playfully: "Do you have such a person in the Criminal Department?" ”

"Back to the emperor, at present, in the prison, only Wen Qi, the second young master of the Wen family, meets the requirements of Yunxing." The Minister of Criminal Affairs said.

"Prime Minister Song!" The emperor suddenly called another person.

"The minister is here." A medium-sized man who looked thin and small stepped forward, although he was not tall and mighty enough, he exuded an elegant and noble temperament all over his body.

"Heavenly Master said that, what do you think?" The emperor asked him unhurriedly.
