Chapter 567 Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony
Yuan Ruan's mouth twitched slightly: [What a ridiculous way to flatter. ]
System: [Haha... that's nothing. He even wrote a book for you, Ah Ruan, called "The Biography of the Great Xia Imperial Master". When your car passes by, he will read it out loud...]
Eat melon jellyfish: ???
Is this flattery? ! This is like bumping yourself into the horse's legs.
The emperor frowned slightly.
Yuanruan's pupils trembled: [No! Taishe is dead. Save me! ]
She quickly turned around and grabbed the prince's wrist, wanting to drive the official away, but she couldn't think of a suitable reason.
When the prince saw Yuan Ruan's anxious brows wrinkled, his heart softened and he frantically thought about how to take over.
Soon, an idea flashed through the prince's mind. He patted the back of Yuan Ruan's hand soothingly: "What's wrong with Xiaojiu? Are you feeling uncomfortable because you have been riding in the car for too long? How about I take you on a horse to take another flat road to get some fresh air?"
Yuanruan let out an anxious "ah" and was about to shake her head, but suddenly she thought of this good suggestion!
If she rode the horse to take another route, she would just find an excuse to keep the car where it was. In this way, she would most likely not run into the flattering official, and the incident of "The Legend of the Young Imperial Master" would not have happened.
Perfect!
Yuan Ruan immediately nodded to the prince and said in a soft voice: "Okay. Brother Prince... and father, do you want to ride together? Hmm..."
Having said that, Yuan Ruan was still thinking of an excuse to keep the carriage.
The emperor, who was sitting in the carriage, put down the teacup in his hand and directly ordered Commander Zhang outside the carriage to stop all the idle carriages and send them over after the Feng Zen ceremony at Mount Tai.
Yuanruan was so happy that he didn't need to find an excuse. He pulled the emperor's hand and rode happily.
The sacrificial team inadvertently sped up, and the emperor and Yuan Ruan, who were leading the way, quickly passed the officials who wanted to recite and flatter them.
Officer: QAQ?
…
Soon, the emperor and his entourage arrived at the chief priest's field in charge of offering sacrifices to the "Earth".
This is a small peak located on the waist of Mount Tai.
The emperor wore a crown, clothes, shoes and sash made of nine colored jewels.
The court officials who followed him all wore white deerskin hats and had tablets tied around their waists with silk ribbons.
When the music started, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites stepped forward and started the ceremony of welcoming the gods.
The emperor, the crown prince, and all the civil and military officials knelt and offered jade and silk.
The emperor washed his hands and ascended the altar. To the sound of music, the emperor ascended the altar.
Yuan Ruan, wearing a Taoist robe, came over holding a plate for offering sacrifices.
The emperor personally arranged the offerings for the gods, knelt down again before the altar, burned incense, and laid down jade and silk.
The official in charge of the ceremony brought out the sacrificial text, knelt down and read it out, while the ministers drank the wine that was a gift from heaven.
Then, the generals carried the sacrificial animals such as cattle, boars and deer that they had hunted themselves into the altar, and waited for the official in charge of reading the blessing speech to finish, then sprinkled wine on it and poured a flame.
The flames in the altar were burning fiercely.
This process was also repeated at the Tiantan on Mount Tai, and similarly, the flames in the Ditan were burning fiercely.
The emperor looked at the half-burned offerings on the "Altar of the Earth" and the "Altar of the Sky", then pulled Yuan Ruan together and continued to walk to the top of Mount Tai.
As they walked, Yuan Ruan looked around: [Tong'er, where is the Golden Dragon of Fortune? Has it hatched?]
Generals who were unaware of the situation: ???
The ministers who knew the inside story: !!!
Finally, this topic is mentioned!
yes!
One of the biggest hopes they came here for was the golden dragon egg!
Where is it? Has it hatched yet?! Will I have a chance to touch it?
