Chapter 88 Coronation Ceremony
Just with this one glance, her originally calm heart suddenly started beating.
Zhu Feng, standing at the door, was wearing a gorgeous robe and a solemn crown. His tall figure stood in the dim morning light at the door, like a statue.
And that handsome face at this moment seemed even more resolute, like a rock, making people feel indescribably attracted to him.
Nan Yan's heartbeat suddenly became chaotic.
She lowered her head in a hurry, and could not help but silently recite in her heart what she said to Ran Xiaoyu last night -
All men in the world are the same.
Him, too!
At this moment, Zhu Feng's cold and resolute voice once again reached her ears, saying, "Follow me."
"ah?"
She was a little surprised. She had not been told before that she had anything to do with today's coronation ceremony. She thought she was just here to help him get up and wash.
Zhu Feng said again without even turning his head: "Follow me."
"……yes."
Nan Yan hesitated, but still followed him.
When going to the Taimiao to worship the ancestors of the Zhu family, Nan Yan didn't know what she could do, because all the rituals of worship were predetermined and she was completely useless. She could only follow behind Zhu Feng.
After waiting for a long time until the worship was over, it was exactly the time of Chen.
It's time to return to the palace and hold the coronation ceremony.
This time, when they returned to the palace, the sun had broken through the thick clouds and cast its brilliant light onto the earth.
The main gate of the palace was wide open, and the sunlight shone on the Fengtian Hall in front.
The hall gleamed in the sunlight, its multicolored glazed tiles reflecting a dazzling light. The imperial carriage was waiting at the gate. As Zhu Feng approached, he heard heavy ceremonial music from both sides.
The coronation ceremony officially begins.
Zhu Feng walked slowly onto the avenue, moving forward step by step. Civil and military officials stood in neat rows on both sides. Every time he took a step forward, the officials there knelt down. When he slowly stepped onto the steps and looked back, all the civil and military officials were kneeling at his feet.
At this moment, the sunlight seemed to be concentrated on him all at once.
Nan Yan stood behind him, looking at the tall figure, broad shoulders, and the back that was always as straight as a pine tree, as if it would never bend in its life. At this moment, her heart seemed to be beating very fast.
Beneath the red steps, dragon flags fluttered, canopies and curved umbrellas fluttered in the wind, civil and military officials knelt on the ground, and envoys from various countries looked up, but all of this became blurred in her eyes.
The only thing that was clear was that figure.
At this time, the commander in chief of the palace came forward to offer a sacrificial wine. Zhu Feng lifted one cup and offered it to heaven, then another cup and offered it to earth. He raised the last cup high and said in a loud voice: "I, the emperor of China, have been granted the Mandate of Heaven. Emperor Wen has enjoyed a long and prosperous reign. I, as if it were Heaven's response, have entrusted my mandate to Feng. Now that the four directions have been pacified, the people are living in peace. All the civil and military officials, officials, and common people have come together to urge me to ascend the throne and honor me as emperor, so that I may rule over the people of Guizhou."
"I have complied with the popular request, offered sacrifices to Heaven and Earth, ascended the throne, and established the Yongle era. I will respectfully visit the Imperial Ancestral Temple, establish a grand altar and a grand millet in the capital, and enthrone Lady Xu as Empress."
"Announce it to the whole world, and let all know it."
After saying this, he suddenly stretched out his long arms, and the libation wine in the cup was immediately poured into the sky, which turned into countless drops of nectar and scattered down, reflecting a colorful rainbow in the sky.
At this moment, all the civil and military officials shouted—
"Long live our emperor, long live our emperor, long live our emperor!"
Then, the commander in front of the palace stepped forward and said, "Give me the seal."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chief Secretary Cui Yuanmei handed a tray to Nan Yan.
