According to the ritual process, after completing the night sacrifice to the gods on the fifth night of the ninth month, Yinxiang and his party began to climb Mount Tai and go to the altar at the top of Mount Tai.

I used to hear people say that Mount Tai is towering into the clouds, the mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk, today I try it really deserves its name, this mountain road is narrow and abnormal, the potholes are uneven and the danger is unbearable, I look up at the top of the mountain, the galaxy is brilliant, people are like in the clouds.

Yinxiang stood between the cliffs, the broken hair on his sideburns was blown by the wind, and for a moment I saw a fairy in fluttering clothes, not the son of the royal family on weekdays.

The air on the mountain is thin, the higher you go, the cooler it gets, and when I get to the top of the mountain, I only feel numb in my feet, weak limbs, and dizziness, and I can't help but sigh, "It's really a lack of exercise......

Yinxiang looked at me silently not far away, his eyes full of pity, and then retreated in front of me and slowly squatted down.

I was a little confused, surprised and delighted, and said embarrassedly: "Yinxiang, there are so many people, you hurry up, I don't need you to carry it." Go, I'll rest for a while, and I'll catch up with you." ”

He just smiled, no longer stubborn, and then called Gao Fu'er, "Let Gao Fu'er carry you." ”

I didn't want to, but the look in his eyes told me that there was no need to discuss, so I had to acquiesce.

When I reached the top of the mountain, the sky was already bright, and I saw the pine and cypress standing on the top of the mountain, lush and green. Looking up at the gate of heaven is like looking at the sky in a cave. Six or seven miles up, there is the gate of heaven.

At the top of Mount Tai, the birds and beasts fly away, and to the east I see that the newly built sacrificial round platform has already been built, just waiting for you to come. Looking further on both sides of the round platform, there are relics of the ancestors worshipping the heavens.

The round platform is nine feet high, three zhang long, and there is a square altar with more than one zhang in the middle of the platform. After the civil and military officials were all in place, the guards stood neatly facing the north, lined up, and the momentum was majestic.

Yinxiang slowly walked up the altar from the east staircase, stood facing north, held the seal, put the yellow scroll holy decree into the treasure letter, then put in the jade paper, and finally pasted the sealed paper with the seal, and buried it at the bottom of the jade pillar under the altar.

Yinxiang bowed to the sky three times, and the hundred officials followed, and then Yinxiang got up with his back to the north and faced the south, and the Baiguan Mountain called "Long live the emperor...... "Yinxiang", and received it on behalf of his father.

The valley echoed the sound of "long live" for a long time, Yinxiang stood on the top of Mount Tai, the wind and rain of time seemed to be under the feet in an instant, looking around, the mountain fog was filled, and the mountains in the distance were faintly visible.

At that moment, I suddenly discovered that Yinxiang actually has the air of an emperor.

Maybe that throne was just a stone's throw away for him.

Will he fight?

After the end of the ceremony, the royal car set off from Taizhou on September 15 and returned to the capital. Along the way, everyone's attitude towards the prince and Yinxiang is very different, which inevitably attracts a lot of gossip, although Yinxiang is pretending to be free, it can be seen that the prince has a plan in his heart.

After returning to the capital, Yinxiang took advantage of his illness to live in a simple place, and we never saw each other for most of the month.

On this day, it was my turn to be on duty in front of the palace, and in addition to Kangxi, who was alone in the palace, there were only me and Zhang Tingyu, who was sorting out the recitals.

It's so quiet that I can even hear the cat walking, and I'm used to standing aside in a daze when I'm fine, and I don't care about Kangxi's every move.

Suddenly, Zhang Tingyu pestled me, and I realized that Kangxi was looking at me.

I hurriedly bowed my head and pleaded guilty, "It's the slave and maid who are negligent on duty, please ask the emperor to punish the crime." ”

Kangxi smiled and said, "Get up, you have been on duty since Su Ma was absent these days, so you are tired." ”

I was a little ashamed of my lack of duty, stuck out my tongue, and said embarrassedly, "I'm not tired, the slave and maid are not doing well, and they are far worse than Aunt Su Ma." ”

"Alright, get up." Kangxi strode out, "Follow me to the imperial garden." ”

Zhang Tingyu and I hurriedly followed.

The Imperial Garden is in full bloom again, and it is strange to say that our emperor seems to have a very strong love for autumn, and always likes to go to the garden to enjoy the flowers and scenery in this season.

"Girl, it's been a long time since I've read a poem, so I'll read one today." Kangxi occasionally likes to talk to me about poetry, and when he has nothing to do, he likes to let me recite a thing or two.

"Shameful sun cover Luo skirt, sad spring is too lazy to get up. It is easy to ask for priceless treasures, and it is rare to have a heart. Tears drooping on the pillow, and the intestines were broken between the flowers. If you can peek at Song Yu, why hate Wang Chang? "I don't know why the first poem that comes to mind today turned out to be Yu Xuanji's "Gift to the Neighbor".

"Yu Xuanji, this woman is talented, but it's a pity that she is too presumptuous....." Kangxi couldn't help but sigh, but fortunately he just felt that she was too presumptuous and not debauched.

"But she is proud, except for her, who dares to say that it is easy to ask for priceless treasures, and it is rare to have a heart?" I said with a smile.

"A firework was lonely, the audience dispersed, and in the end, I am afraid that except for Wen Tingyun, no one is willing to cry for her." What Zhang Tingyu said was a bit unpleasant, so much so that I was a little surprised.

"How lucky is a woman to meet a man with a heart in her life, why should she care about the difficulties and obstacles on the way?" I looked at him and smiled proudly, what I want is to be single-minded, you Zhang Tingyu have your ideals and ambitions, you can't give me what I want.

"What about you, Shaoying?" Kangxi suddenly turned his head and asked my thoughts.

I was stunned, not knowing how to answer.

At this time, Yinxiang and Jingru came and interrupted our conversation.

"The retainer greets the emperor Amma."

"The slave maid asks for peace to the thirteenth elder brother and Fujin."

"Minister Zhang Tingyu to the thirteenth elder brother and Fujin to say goodbye."

We saluted each other, Kangxi raised his hand slightly, and said, "Get up." Is this going to the palace of Concubine De to say hello? ”

Yinxiang said respectfully, "Yes." ”

His eyes flickered, and he just made eye contact with mine, and then quickly moved away.

Jingru was slightly blessed, and said to Kangxi with a smile on her face, "It's the daughter-in-law who is happy, and Concubine De's grace allows the two of us to attack and eat together, saying that we want to make up for the daughter-in-law." ”

There was a show off look on her face as she spoke, and I shuddered, and I almost lost my footing and fell to the side. Fortunately, Zhang Tingyu grabbed the shaky me and didn't let me fall.

Kangxi was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile, "This is a happy event, Concubine De has thought it through, Jingru, you are indeed too thin, you should make up for it." In this way, Shaoying, you will go to the Internal Affairs Office in a while and give an order, send some good bird's nest to Yinxiang Mansion these days. ”

Maybe it was because he didn't say yes to me, so Kangxi looked back at me suspiciously, and then asked, "Shaoying girl, what are you doing?" The face is so ugly. ”

I hurriedly bowed back, "The slave obeys." ”

Yinxiang glanced at me guiltily, and said in a deep voice, "Concubine De Niangniang is probably ready, my son will not bother Huang Ama, and will make a special trip to Huang Ama another day to ask for peace." ”

Kangxi smiled and said, "Go ahead." ”

In the end, he didn't dare to look at me more, but Zhang Tingyu looked at me distressedly.

At this moment, I can't wait to die headlong, just now I was still proudly saying, only he is wholeheartedly to me, I don't care how bitter it is. I didn't expect this slap to hit my face so quickly.

Am I wrong?

I have never been able to tolerate and accept emotional incompatibility, even though I know that he has me in his heart.

But will she conceive his child, am I still the same in his heart?
