This is the ancestral system of the Great Shang Dynasty.

Concubines below the queen are not eligible to attend such activities.

Of course, in addition to the queen, the queen mother also has this qualification.

However, since the accession to the throne of Long Marting, the annual sacrificial activities have specially excluded the Empress Dowager Xiaojing.

Therefore, during the reign of Long Ying, the Empress Dowager Xiaojing did not attend the moon sacrifice of the Shangyuan Festival once.

The royal sacrifice to the moon god is extraordinarily grand, and it is the most solemn sacrifice of the year.

Although the dragon martingale does not believe in ghosts and gods, he attaches great importance to this sacrifice.

And in this sacrificial activity, Xiangyang Wang Long Xiao and Ning Guo's eldest princess Long Qian are also impressively listed.

When the people reached the altar, a sound like a trumpet was suddenly played, and the sound was so loud and passionate that it seemed to resound through the heavens and the earth, but it added a solemn and sacred feeling, and then other musical instruments began to be played.

The group stopped at the foot of a tower.

The altar is located on top of the tower, which is said to have a total of 89 steps, and this tower is also the tallest building in the palace.

The main purpose of worshiping the moon god is to pray for the blessing of the country, pray for good weather and peace for the country and the people, and this step needs to be completed by the emperor and queen climbing the tower together.

The dragon martingale has to come to this sacrifice every year, so every step is easy to do, but this year there is more Lu Liangwei, and Lu Liangwei is still pregnant with a child in her belly, and it is not easy to climb the tower.

He suppressed the worry in his heart and looked at Lu Liangwei gently, "Can you go?" ”

Lu Liangwei looked at the tower in front of him, nodded, and said in a firm tone, "It's okay." ”

She was pregnant with a dragon heir, so she could have avoided participating in this sacrifice, but this was the first sacrifice after the two got married.

Moreover, she heard Ah Jiu say that sacrificing to the moon god is a long-standing custom of Dashang, and both the royal family and ordinary people attach great importance to it.

If on the day of Shangyuan Festival, the husband and wife worship the moon god together, they will be favored by the moon god, and their future life will always be harmonious and happy.

Although she didn't believe this, she sincerely hoped that she and the emperor would be happy for the rest of their lives, and her children would grow up healthily.

Even if it is to ask for good luck, she will attend this sacrifice. And this is the first time she has participated in a sacrificial activity together since she and the emperor were together, so she naturally can't show her timidity.

However, she is glad that she is only more than four months pregnant, and if she has two more months, she may not be able to cope.

The people of Qin Tianjian had already ascended the tower one step ahead to prepare for the sacrifice.

Except for the emperor and queen, the rest remained under the tower.

Long Ying took Lu Liangwei's hand, stepped on the steps, and whispered: "I'll pull you, you don't have to be forced, if you're tired, tell me." ”

"Okay." Lu Liang responded in a low voice, looking at the tall man beside him, his heart was very steady.

Looking at the hands held by the emperor and queen, Long Tianzhi chuckled, "Brother is really hurting." ”

Long Xiao, who was standing next to her, sighed, "The hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, I didn't expect the imperial brother to have such a day." ”

Hearing this, Long Tianzhi retracted his gaze, glanced at him, and said, "You are also not young, you are twenty-six years old this year, and it is time to marry a wife." ”

When Long Xiao heard this, he was a little helpless, "Sister Huang, you are here again, I am not interested in marrying a wife, I am very good now, I have nothing to worry about." ”。

When Long Tianzhi heard this, he looked sideways, paused, and lowered his voice: "Xiao'er, you shouldn't have some hidden disease, right?" ”
