Shanhe Temple is the ancestral temple of the Nanqiao royal family, where they offer sacrifices to their ancestors and to heaven.

Starting from the Donghua Gate of the Imperial Palace, there is a straight avenue that crosses the bustling city and leads directly to the Shanhe Temple.

The tyrant emperor took the queen and little sweet baby in his spacious carriage and drove all the way to the Shanhe Temple. Wherever he passed, the people prostrated themselves in worship. He looked so majestic.

The Queen said embarrassedly: "Why didn't the Emperor tell you that he would go to the sacrifice today?"

From what she could see, the tyrant emperor had no faith in gods or Buddhas. In the seven years since he ascended the throne, he had never once entered the Mountain and River Shrine, except for the necessary sacrifices upon his coronation.

"Good news, there is good news." The tyrant emperor smiled from ear to ear, looking at the little sweet baby's big, round eyes, his heart was as sweet as honey.

The queen found him acting mysterious and asked him several times but couldn't get any information.

The tyrant emperor quickly arrived at the Shanhe Temple with Tianbao in his arms.

The ancestor worship ceremony went on uneventfully. The foolish emperor repeatedly thanked his ancestors for giving him a precious princess, but the queen always felt that he was delaying time.

When the tyrant emperor offered incense for the third time, he couldn't help but curse out loud: "Why haven't you come yet? I will chop off all your heads when I get back!"

Outside the Shanhe Temple, people from the Sitiantai were chanting sixteen words in unison and heading straight for the Shanhe Temple.

The ignorant common people listened attentively and heard: Yin and Yang are in harmony, auspicious signs are arriving! May the lucky stars shine brightly, and bless our Nanqiao!

The Sitiantai is in charge of astronomy, calendar calculations, and fortune-telling.

It is too profound for ordinary people to understand. They only know that whenever there is a major event, the Sitiantai will definitely take action.

Now that so many people from the Sitiantai are flocking to the Shanhe Temple, something big must have happened.

Soon, word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, as the common people flocked to the Shanhe Temple, wanting to know what this big event was. They just wanted to have enough food and clothes, and not to think of war or the destruction of their country!

Although they don't have high expectations for the tyrant.

But I still hope to maintain the status quo, which would be great.

Finally, when the emperor was offering incense for the fifth time, the people from the Imperial Astronomical Observatory finally arrived and said, "Long live the emperor! We have observed the stars at night and the weather during the day, and have made a great discovery!"

"Oh? Tell me quickly!" The tyrant was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out.

"For hundreds of years, Nanqiao has been dominated by Yang and underdeveloped by Yin, and natural disasters have occurred repeatedly. A month ago, the breeze was gentle and warm, and it felt like spring even though it was already late autumn. That night, I and others observed the stars and discovered that the star of disaster above Nanqiao had shifted, and the star of fortune was shining brightly on Nanqiao!"

"As the Sitian Observatory has been monitoring the situation day and night for a month out of caution. We have seen the lucky star shining brighter and brighter, with auspicious signs appearing one after another across Nanqiao! This is a sign of revival. Nanqiao will surely regain its former glory!"

The foolish emperor frowned. These idiots, aren't they talking too much nonsense?

Seeing that the emperor was becoming impatient, Si Tiantai quickly cut to the chase.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! The little princess was born on an auspicious day and time, harmonizing the yin and yang of Nanqiao, and is born with a fortune of wealth and good fortune! The little princess is my Nanqiao's lucky star, and will surely bless my Nanqiao and bring it health and revival!"

The last few words were almost shouted.

On the high altar, every word is pronounced with great emphasis, awakening the eyes and ears!

Everyone present and the people living near the Shanhe Temple heard it.

The queen was extremely surprised and looked at the tyrant emperor. It turned out that the good thing he was talking about was this!

She knew that Tianbao was a national treasure given to Nanqiao by God!

Sweet baby Benbao blinked blankly.

Are they saying they are lucky?

It's great! I'll never be poor and hungry again in this life, and I won't have to wear washed-out clothes with holes in them in the middle of winter!

When the tyrant emperor returned to the palace, the news that the little princess was Nanqiao's lucky star had spread throughout Xijing (the capital of Nanqiao Kingdom).

On the way back to the palace, the imperial carriage suddenly stopped.

The tyrant emperor frowned, "Why stop? Hurry back to the palace and have a banquet!"

The voice of General Bao Pingyuan of the Left Guard (one of the sixteen imperial guards) came: "Your Majesty, the royal carriage is surrounded by the people. They all want to get some of the little princess's blessing."

"How can this be!" The tyrant emperor was furious. He lowered his eyes and saw the sweet baby in his arms. He immediately put on a fake smile and gave a gentle order, "Let the left guards lead the way. Those who refuse to change their ways will be killed without mercy."

Bao Pingyuan shuddered.

The emperor's gentle tone while giving a harsh order was really perverted.

Upon hearing this, the Queen glared at the tyrant and whispered, "Today is Tianbao's full moon banquet, no blood shall be seen."

"Wait!" The foolish emperor thought about it and said hurriedly, "I was just joking. Tianbao is Nanqiao's lucky star. It's understandable that they want to admire the lucky star's glory, but Tianbao is still young, so it's inconvenient to show him off."

exhibit……

Tianbao had some black lines in her mind. She was not a thing, how could she be shown around casually?

The tyrant emperor is speechless and can only show mercy for now.

Otherwise, Tianbao’s identity as a lucky star would be doubted.

With a little mercy, the imperial carriage could hardly move an inch.

Even if the left guards surrounded the imperial carriage, they could not withstand the people's enthusiasm!

The bravest ones, taking advantage of the overwhelming crowd, bravely touched the imperial carriage, raised their hands and shouted excitedly: "I touched it! I touched the emperor's carriage, I have received the little princess's blessing!"

The others were so excited that they pushed forward even harder, and the situation got out of control for a while.

The imperial carriage was even shaken by the waves, and the Queen was horrified: "What should we do? Your Majesty, think of a solution quickly, but don't scare Tianbao!"

The tyrant emperor pursed his lips tightly, fearing that he would be killed if he opened his mouth.

Tianbao used all his strength to howl at the top of his lungs.

The shaking imperial carriage suddenly stopped shaking.

The common people outside the imperial carriage were so moved that tears filled their eyes when they heard the baby's cry that sounded like nature.

The queen took the sweet baby and winked at the emperor.

The tyrant emperor took the opportunity to push open the carriage door and stood high on the shaft, looking down. It was a sea of people, radiating out from around the imperial carriage.

"You scared the little princess! Do you know your crime? Get out of the way!"

The incompetent ruler who had been in power for a long time was arrogant and domineering, and his imposing manner was like an oncoming tsunami, which frightened the common people so much that they knelt down and shouted "Long live the emperor".

However!

No one gave way! Those who didn't get to touch the imperial carriage were all eager to keep trying, hoping to get a little bit of the little princess's blessing!

The corners of the emperor's mouth twitched, and he stood on the shaft of the carriage to feel the cold wind for a while, but there was nothing he could do.

There's nothing he can do unless he uses force.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves was heard not far away. The foolish emperor looked around and found that two groups of people were running towards the imperial carriage, raising dust and running at an astonishing speed!

The foolish emperor shuddered and quickly got back into the carriage, saying nervously, "This is a mistake. I didn't anticipate these unexpected situations."

The queen saw his face turn pale, and her heart was beating like a drum: "What's that noise outside? Is someone coming?"

"I didn't see clearly, but the people who came here didn't look kind, it seems..." The tyrant looked at Tianbao with a fearless look, gritted his teeth, turned around and protected the queen and Tianbao behind him, "It seems like they are here to assassinate me, Lanxin, Tianbao, don't worry, I will never let anyone hurt you!"

"Ah!" The queen gasped in fear.

Is the emperor really too incompetent? Why does someone want to assassinate him as soon as he leaves the palace?

She hugged the little sweet baby tightly, her body trembling slightly.

"Bao Pingyuan! I command you to protect the princess to the death!"
