The Winter Festival of the Earth Goddess is a very ancient traditional festival in the Nine Heavens Continent, which originated in ancient times, when people sacrificed crops and livestock to thank the Earth Goddess for the gifts of the Earth Goddess after the autumn wheat was harvested and put into the warehouse, in order to pray for good weather in the spring of the coming year.

The harsh winter is coming, and people who have worked hard for a year can finally rest comfortably for a while, so although this festival is not as grand as the summer festival, the joyful atmosphere of the festival began to permeate Yanjing a few days ago.
The day before the winter festival of the goddess of the earth, the weather was extremely clear, the morning mist had just dispersed, although the wind whistling from the sky brought the cold breath of the north, but the rising sun in the east will shine on the holy capital without reservation, putting on a gorgeous coat for this magnificent Yanjing.
The Cathedral of the God of Mars, located near the central square of Yenching, is very different today, with countless roses, lilies, and white silk scarves that have just been picked from the greenhouse of the manor on the outskirts of Shengjing, decorating the entrance of the church and the surrounding streets with extraordinary beauty and grandeur.
The elite warriors and warriors of the Yanjing City Guard Regiment had already blocked off the access roads of several streets connecting the cathedral, and only those carriages with invitations were allowed to enter, and since early in the morning, hundreds of luxurious carriages have arrived near the church.
These noble guests came from various families in the Holy Kingdom, and they all came here for the same purpose - to attend the wedding of Han Fei, Lord of Tulip and Marquis of the Empire.
Just yesterday, His Majesty the Great Emperor awarded a favor, Han Fei was promoted from earl to marquis because of his special merits, and the news that had been spread in the aristocratic circles of Yanjing some time ago was finally confirmed. Although no one knew what amazing feats Han Fei had achieved to achieve such an important promotion, everyone knew that Han Fei, a newly promoted young nobleman, had already managed to rise among the upper echelons of nobility.
His Majesty the Emperor's favor to Han Fei made countless people jealous, not only promoted Han Fei's title, but also personally served as a witness to his wedding, and there was even a rumor that Emperor Yeshi intended to marry a princess as Han Fei's fifth wife, no matter how credible this rumor was, many young nobles' eyes were green and red when they talked about Han Fei.
But whether it was jealousy or envy, all the guests who received the invitation rushed to the Cathedral of the God of War in advance to attend this grand wedding that was destined to cause a sensation.
As the object of much attention, Han Fei was still in the room of the Tulip Castle Lord's Mansion, and the maid Xiao Duo had just buttoned the last button of his dress.
"My lord, you are so handsome today!" Xiao Duo took a step back, as if looking at a work that he had carefully completed, and praised him sincerely.
Today, Han Fei wore a black noble knight's dress, this wedding dress was made to order in the most famous tailor shop in Shengjing, the best fabrics, trims made of gold threads, buttons polished by spirit crystals... Coupled with the finest handiwork, it is extremely strong and fitting on his body.
Han Fei smiled and asked, "Xiao Duo, what time is it now?"
Xiao Duo looked at the floor clock placed in the corner of the wall, and said obediently: "My lord, you are almost ready to go." ”
Family members Han Wuguo, Han Mutian, Kalena and others had already rushed to the God of War Cathedral in Shengjing in advance, while Han Bixuan, Han Wei'er, and Han Xin'er had lived in the Han Clan's Mansion in Shengjing a few days ago, and waited for the arrival of the welcoming team together with Fuji Shuixiu in the Fuji Clan's Mansion.
According to the customs of the Nine Heavens Continent, the welcoming team led by Feng Potian, Lei Zhong and others had already set off separately, and Feng Qingyin actually sent a team of Fire Phoenix Sky Riders to help, believing that everything would go smoothly.
After checking to make sure there were no omissions, Han Fei left the room and came to the martial arts practice ground in the Lord's Mansion.
Chitra Griffon Lafeng was waiting for him there, this guy was served to be cleaned from head to toe, replaced with a specially made golden saddle, and when he saw Han Fei coming, he took a very fierce pose.
Han Fei jumped up and landed firmly on its back, and shouted in high spirits, "Let's go!"
With a long howl, it spread its wings suddenly, its bent feet squatting on the ground glared, and in the blink of an eye, it soared into the sky.
Many of the residents of Tulip Castle saw the figure soaring in the sky, and they knew that it was their lord who was harnessing this powerful spirit beast, so they waved their arms and cheered as a way to express their respect and congratulations to Han Fei.
Han Fei waved at them and flew towards Shengjing with the wind, quickly leaving the Tulip Castle behind.
Tulip Castle is only a dozen miles away from Shengjing, and it didn't take much effort to pull the wind, and after a while, you can see the towering capital city and those tall towers in the distance.
At this moment, more than a dozen black dots suddenly rose from Yanjing, and they quickly moved closer to Han Fei.
Han Fei was not surprised, and continued to maintain his forward course, and the black dots quickly expanded, and they were a dozen griffons riding in the sky, and they were piloted by heavily armed royal knights, their golden armor and helmets shining in the sunlight.
When the two sides approached a distance of less than fifty meters, the fifteen royal sky knights raised the dragoon spears in their hands and saluted Han Fei in unison, and then lined up in the air to follow behind Han Fei in a posture of arching and protecting their wings.
Belonging to the Royal Guard, the Royal Sky Knights are one of the most elite forces guarding the Empire, and any intruder who dares to appear in the skies over Yanjing will be mercilessly slain. It's just that today's team of Royal Sky Knights is not here to intercept Han Fei, on the contrary, they are escorting Han Fei on the orders of His Majesty the Emperor, and they are acting as honor guards.
Sixteen griffons flew in formation from the sky above Yanjing, which inevitably attracted the attention of countless Shengjing residents, especially the huge and terrifying appearance of La Feng, which caused them to exclaim.
The griffin formation soon arrived in the sky above the God of War Cathedral, and Han Fei did not land immediately, but circled around the square until he saw a new air cavalry formation appear in the distance - his brides were coming!
The two airhorsemen quickly converged and landed in an orderly manner on the square in front of the church, where the maids and servants who had been waiting in the square threw the petals in the basket one after another, and the air currents brought by the waving of the wings of the airhorses stirred up the flowers to fly all over the sky, as if a fragrant flower song was in the air.
Han Bixuan, Fuji Shuixiu, Han Wei'er and Han Xin'er got off the back of the phoenix bird sky ride one by one, they were wearing white wedding dresses, their faces were full of happy and charming smiles, their beauty didn't know how many aristocratic guests were present, and it also made Han Fei's jealousy and envy reach the pinnacle.
Led by a court courtesant, the bride, bride, and family guests entered the Cathedral of the God of Mars in turn, where everything was already ready for the final sacred rites.
The God of War Church is the most powerful and influential top church in the Nine Heavens Continent, and the Glow Empire naturally respects the God of War with martial arts, although many people hold their weddings in the Church of the God of Love and Family, but for the true imperial nobles, the God of War Cathedral in the center of Shengjing is the only choice.
Due to His Majesty the Emperor's role as a witness, the standard of this wedding became extremely high, and Han Fei paid a considerable amount of money to the God of War Church, so the wedding was presided over by Pope Gramos of the God of War Church - according to the past practice, only royal weddings could invite this big man.
Built more than 900 years ago, the Cathedral of the God of Mars is majestic and magnificent, and the main hall of the church can accommodate thousands of worshippers at the same time, which is more than enough to accommodate all the guests.
After all the guests were seated, the wedding music sounded in the church, and after Han Fei hugged his father and grandfather one by one, he stepped on the scarlet carpet and walked up to the podium, standing in front of the golden statue of the god of war and Pope Gramos.
His Majesty Emperor Yeshi Di, Emperor of the Radiant Empire, stood next to the Pope with a faint smile on his majestic face.
Han Bixuan, Fuji Shuixiu and others took the stage in turn, the lovely girls held their skirts, and the four beautiful brides walked through the long passage and stood next to Han Fei under the guidance of their relatives.
Han Qisi helped Han Bixuan brush off the petals on her shoulders, held back the tears flowing in her eyes, and dropped a light kiss on her daughter's face, expressing her blessings in this way.
The four brides are all red-eyed, so from today onwards they will go through one of the most important journeys of their lives, inexplicably sad and happy and joyful.
When Han Qisi and the others went down, Gramos, who was wearing a golden priest's robe, smiled slightly: "I think today is the most special wedding I have ever presided over, because there is a groom standing in front of me, and there are four brides, all of whom are extremely beautiful angels, which is really jealous!"
Gramos's voice was not loud, but it was very clear to the ears of every guest present, and His Excellency the Pope's slightly witty words made everyone chuckle, no one thought that the famous God of War Grand Pope had such an easy-going and friendly side, and the atmosphere in the church suddenly became more relaxed and joyful.
"All of God's people will be blessed by God..."Gramos continued, "I am very happy to be able to celebrate the most sacred wedding for the couple in front of me. ”
He stared at Han Fei, "Han Fei, are you ready to take on the responsibilities of your family and husband?"
Gramos's gaze was gentle and bright, and when he met his gaze, Han Fei's heart suddenly flashed with a subtle feeling.
