As soon as it was dawn in the morning, before the roosters crowed, a wagon was already driving on the way out of the city.

Today is the day of the festival, and early in the morning, everyone sets out from Kyoto Castle and heads south along the official road, hoping to reach the seat of the royal family worship before dawn.

Temple of Heaven.

Before the sun was about to come out, it was darkest, and the carriages were driving in a queue, and from a distance, I could only see two rows of rickety lanterns floating on this mountain path, which was strange.

This is the official road, very safe, the palace people waded on the grass blades, last night it rained a little, the grass was covered with dew, the road is also a little muddy, you can clearly smell the smell of trees and flowers.

At the head of the team is the three princes in armor, and he is responsible for the safety of the entire team at today's Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony.

The mother of the third prince is a pure concubine, although he is not the crown prince, he can stand out from the princes because of his mother.

The third prince just got married last year, and he is full of blood and strength, horseback riding and archery are excellent, and he is the prince of pure concubines.

The queen has been dead for many years, and everyone supported the prince's faction at first, but now, the prince's faction is in danger, but the three princes are outstanding and can be made.

His Majesty is also very fond of the third prince Li Yuansheng, and when he was a child, he was often called by his side to accompany the holy driver, so many princes were jealous in their hearts, but they dared not speak out.

"Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, the slave will arrive in half an hour."

The accompanying eunuch reminded the third prince softly.

The third prince sat on a tall horse, holding a red tasseled spear in his hand, majestic.

"Go and ask my father, the mountain road is bumpy, but you need to rest for a while."

The palace people on the side received the name and went to the middle of the line.

His Majesty's carriage today is large and spacious, and it is very comfortable with animal skins and soft pillows.

The emperor, dressed in a bright yellow court robe, was leaning on a soft pillow and pretending to sleep.

"Gonggong Hong, His Royal Highness asked His Majesty if he needed to fix it, and it would be there in half an hour."

The young little eunuch said to Gonggong Hong.

Gonggong Hong saw that it was still early, so he asked the emperor through the curtain: "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness sent someone to say that there is still half an hour to go to the Temple of Heaven, ask Your Highness if you need to rest for a while, the servant sees that it is still early, it is okay to rest for a while." ”

The emperor didn't even open his eyes: "So take a rest, the widow's concubine should be tired." ”

The carriage of the emperor's concubine was only slightly smaller after the emperor's carriage, and the carriage was also made of silk and satin, which was very comfortable.

Today is the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, everyone is dressed very grandly, although the pure concubine is not the queen, but she is not inferior to the queen's palace system.

The procession of carriages stopped, and some palace people took advantage of the moonlight to look around for convenience.

Near the end of the carriage, a young girl broke the curtain and came out.

It is said that Princess Xihe must be present on the day of the sacrifice, but because the princess is preparing to get married, the lord of Chang'an will attend the sacrifice on behalf of the princess's mansion.

Almost all night without sleep, they set off in the middle of the night in Kyoto City, the mountain road traveled by the carriage, bumpy and swaying, Sisi was about to be broken up along the way.

Thanks to the morning chrysanthemum brewing combed her light and convenient bun, and did not bring any exaggerated headdress, only inserted a small hairpin made of freshwater pearls in her hair, scattered on the bun, playful and steady, with a string of beads made of red agate around her neck, and a forbidden step of the same color on her waist, so that the Luo skirt she was wearing was more white.

Seeing Sisi get out of the carriage, Mei Zhi asked, "County Lord, but do you want to drink water?" ”

It was Xihe's idea to let Mei Zhi follow today, Mei Zhi was in good health, and only she could keep up with such a long journey.

Mei Zhi took the cowhide water bag she was carrying, gently uncorked it and handed it to Sisi's mouth.

"I'm not thirsty, I'm not thirsty, I can't drink too much water in this wilderness, I'm just having a headache, and I'm getting out of the car to relax my muscles."

Sisi spread her legs, did two chest expansion exercises, and stretched her waist again, only then did she feel that her body was a little more lively.

In the morning, Zhu Qing fished her out of the quilt, Sisi cried and shouted and didn't want to get up, Zhu Qing didn't get used to her at all, and forced her to clean her face on the dresser.

The washing water was drawn by Zhuqing from the well, it was cold and cold, and as soon as the water touched his face, Sisi's drowsiness was cleaned by ice.

Xu is because of the cold body, Sisi cherishes the warmth.

The carriage in front belonged to the five princesses, and the five princesses also lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.

Young girls always look good in everything, Li Yuyao doesn't need to dress up fancily, a water-green light Luo skirt, her hair is only slightly pulled down, and she hangs loosely on her shoulders, and her narrow waist and shoulders are shaved, like Xi Shi.

Sisi looked at Li Yuyao, who was like a weak willow supporting the wind, and pinched his waist.

Is it time for me to lose weight?

How can it be done, if the girl in the development period eats less, and her chest can't grow up, she has to weigh it carefully.

Although I really wanted to ask Li Yuyao about the current situation of the one in the Ying Palace, there were many people here with mixed eyes and couldn't speak.

The night made her unable to see the subtle expressions clearly, and she passed the inquiring eyes through the carriage, Yu Yao just smiled slightly and nodded slightly.

It seems that things are going well, but unfortunately I can't meet Li Yuanche, I don't know what happened to him.

After the carriage stopped, Li Yuanche also got out of the carriage, and he looked around for a while, but he couldn't see his expression clearly.

The prince's carriage was at the head of the procession, and in front of him were the carriages of the second prince and the crown prince.

"Why is this road so bumpy, sitting in the carriage and the bones are scattered, how did the third brother choose this road after choosing it for a long time."

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, bear with me, it's almost there, be quiet, don't be listened to by Your Majesty."

The crown prince and his attendant eunuch were complaining in a low voice.

The prince was set up as a prince since he was a child, although he was lucky but his strength was insufficient, since the death of the queen mother, he did not understand the restraint, and his pampered temperament was often exposed, the text was not as good as the second prince, and the martial arts were not as good as the third prince, His Majesty cared about the husband and wife kindness with the late queen, so he connived at the prince in every way, but even so, the prince still couldn't see the current situation clearly, and he was only blindly arrogant, which was really a fool.

Li Yuanche shook his head.

When they had rested enough, they went back to their carriages, and when it was almost dawn, they marched down the hill again.

This Temple of Heaven is the burial place of the emperors of the founding of the country, the kings of the past dynasties are here to worship the sky, the rules of the sacrifice to the sky are left by the ancestors, and the annual ceremony of sacrificing to the sky must be foolproof.

When you climb over this mountain, you can see a large dingding standing in a clearing in the distance.

It is surrounded by mountains and is an open depression.

Sisi got out of the carriage and looked at the mountains around him, and for some reason buried the founding emperor here.

This depression collects rainwater, and it is not afraid to flood the cemetery.

The feng shui theory of this era is really incredible.

When the day was at full dawn, the people got out of the carriage, which was neatly parked on the mountainside, where they had to disembark and walk to the altar at the bottom of the mountain.

Sisi carried her little skirt and carefully avoided the mud under her feet.

At a glance, you can see the exaggerated headdress of the pure concubine:

The hollow Jin Tian is very gorgeous, inlaid with good East pearls, and the overall carving cover is made with the craftsmanship of a little emerald, which is clearly the queen's style.

She was half down with the emperor, and the overly ornate clothes made it very difficult for her to walk, but she also tried her best to maintain an elegant style, and never skewed a little.

The Emperor raised his eyelids slightly, looked at her headdress, and said nothing.
