In recent days, the crown prince Murong Xian has quite a prestige among the people. The Wenxian plague and the "Anmin Order" were all praised by the officials with the most gorgeous rhetoric. There are even rumors that the crown prince is a heavenly bodhisattva who came to the world to spend the calamity.

Naturally, this kind of thing will be spread to the palace and then to the ears of the saints. Every time he listened, Murong Chun's face was elusive, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.

Seeing that Chinese New Year's Eve was approaching, the emperor was in poor health, and this year's ancestral temple sacrifice and blessing simply let the crown prince Murong Xian do the work for him.

On that day, a mighty group passed by Yuqian Street, accompanied by hundreds of civil and military officials, and the scene was really spectacular. Murong Xian rode a lion skull, at the front of the hundred officials. The officers and men in front sounded the gong to open the way. Later, Wei Chiwei, Qu Yishang, Murong Yu and others followed. The young one rides a horse, and the older one sits in a sedan chair. The long line was even five miles long.

When I arrived at the ancestral temple, it was already in the middle of the blue sky. Qin Tianjian has calculated that today is an auspicious day, and it is a cloudless and incomparably fine weather. Murong Xian led the civil and military officials to complete the sacrifice smoothly, and returned home in the evening.

Another mighty procession returned. This time, there were more people on Yuqian Street to watch. At the entrance of the shop and liquor store, above the two-story and three-story buildings, you can see that the street is full of people.

Before Murong Xian came, these people all stood on tiptoe. When the team approached, the people crowded around, hoping to take a look at the crown prince Murong Xian. It seems that after watching it for a long time, it can also touch the Buddha light of this "Bodhisattva of the Mortal Tribulation".

Suddenly, a person appeared out of nowhere and shouted: "The prince is wise! Then he rushed out of the guard's protection and bowed down the street in front of the palace.

Immediately afterward, one, two, and three of them shouted like the man: "The prince is wise! Then he knelt down.

The people are the most easily instigated. Seeing one person like this, several people like this, they followed suit. All of a sudden, all the people on the street in front of the palace shouted "Prince Xianming", and then knelt down in the direction of Prince Murong Xian.

The marching procession was halted. This is the first time this has happened. Murong Xian was still surprised and moved. But the expressions of several people behind him were different.

Yu Chi Weixian also felt strange, but he quickly frowned, and his face became ugly.

The scheming Qu Yishang has an expressionless face and is calm and waveless.

Murong Yu chuckled, as if he was watching a farce.

Murong Xian hurriedly jumped off his horse and went to help the nearest people up.

"Get up, get up."

A few people who were helped up were even more in tears. Murong Xian said several times in a row, "Hurry up", and the people got up to excuse themselves.

By the time Murong Xian returned to his horse, the team had been delayed for a while.

Murong Chun, who was waiting in the Jinluan Palace, of course, received the report. The palm holding the armrest of the dragon chair rubbed and gradually exerted force. The superstitious Tibetan text that Luo Shen gave him appeared in his mind again.

"The country is handed over to the son."

Murong Chun snorted coldly. Can't wait? I think I've lived too long, do you want to sit in this seat earlier?

Dream!

Even if he is his own son, the emperor's family, how can he be affectionate. In Murong Chun's eyes, his throne in his hands is the one that will never be violated. What is the point of sacrificing some children?

The ladies of the harem also need sacrifices. The sacrificial ceremony in the palace was presided over by the Empress Wei.

On this day, in front of the Jiaotai Palace, a big case was set up. All kinds of offerings are placed on it. The queen wore a full set of the most solemn court clothes.

Wearing a dark bird and phoenix placket coat on the outside, and lining with golden dense cloud pattern inside. On his head is a thick and intricate phoenix crown. Raise your hands flat on your chest and bow down in front of the altar. Insert the long incense burnt into the incense burner. and other rituals along with the ceremonies.

The other concubines all knelt down on both sides in front of the Jiaotai Palace. It had been several hours since the line had not moved. Kneeling like this, the calves and thighs became stiff. The sun shone brightly overhead, and occasionally I looked up and felt dizzy.

"Concubine Jing! What's wrong with you! ”

Concubine Jing's thin body shook twice and fell straight to the side. The little palace maid next to her hurriedly went over to support Concubine Jing. However, Concubine Jing had already fainted and lost consciousness.

The queen looked at her unhappily and snorted coldly. He said in a majestic voice: "Come on, drag Concubine Jing down." ”

The guards came up and quickly put the weak and unconscious Concubine Jing down.

The other concubines didn't dare to say much.

The long ritual is over. The kneeling concubines finally took a lot of effort to stand up. And Concubine Jing, the imperial doctor had to take a look. The emperor's favorite concubine can not go out of the pool. Calculated, pinched the middle of the person, rested for a while, and slowly woke up.

At the banquet in the evening, Concubine Jing barely supported herself again.

It is not as solemn as the daytime sacrifice, and the banquet is much more relaxed and pleasant. Civil and military officials and harem ladies all came to participate.

There are official bands and servants, and there will also be powerful performers like Lianxiangyuan to perform. Tonight, Wanying finally had a chance to enter the palace.

The group entered the palace in a carriage early in the morning. Stop in front of the Xuanwu Gate, you need to get off. Wan Ying jumped down with her skirt, and when she turned around, she saw the huge red palace wall opening up and shadows enveloping them. On the heavy palace gate, there are round copper nails the size of palms. On this day, many people entered the palace, but the palace gate was still closed, and everyone entered and exited through the corner gate on one side. The guards are very strict and strictly prohibit all dangerous items from being brought in.

After a long delay, the group passed through the corner gate and was led inside by a young eunuch.

"When you enter the palace, you follow me carefully, don't get lost. Do not touch anything, and when you see me saluting, you must also salute. Don't talk nonsense and keep your mouth shut. lest you offend anyone, and lose your life in vain. ”

The little eunuch commanded as he walked. Everyone responded, following closely.

However, after all, it was the first time to enter the palace, if it weren't for the fact that it was under the protection of the crown prince. How can there be such glory. The girls looked at each other curiously, but they did not dare to talk, for fear of the majesty of the heavenly family.

The long road, lined with red palace walls, walked for a long time.

I thought to myself, the palace is so big.

From afar, an eight-person sedan chair was lifted, and the white curtains on the sedan chair moved with the wind. Eight eunuchs, carrying them steadily in small steps. There were five or six palace maids on the side. The palace maid is already good-looking and gorgeously dressed. The person on that delicate son is even more of a fairy-like figure.

Wanying still wanted to take a closer look, but the little eunuch had already knelt down. The crowd had no choice but to kneel as well. I can only glance at the person on the sedan chair.

Frowning slightly, his eyes closed, and his forehead with his hands. The white clothes are better than the snow, and the silver fox fur is wrapped like a carved jade face. Soon passed by in front of the eyes. Just one glance is unforgettable.
