Chapter 78 Promise?

Sweat was profuse on her forehead, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, where the rest of the ladies stood were more or less shaded by leaves, but she was the only one standing upright in the sun.

The sun in midsummer was already full, but now the wind has stopped and it is close to noon.

Hua Zuili's head was a little dizzy, she glanced at the scorching sun above her head, closed her eyes slightly and took a few deep breaths, keeping her mind calm and preventing her blood from getting dizzy, most of the methods of treating people in the house were changed for soup instead of medicine, She has seen a lot.

After waiting for about half a cup of tea, the date red wooden door in front of me slowly opened.

A gorgeous black brocade robe embroidered with a golden phoenix soaring through the nine heavens winds behind her, and a red lotus is dotted between the eyebrows of Princess Changning, making the whole person look extremely dignified and magnificent.

Seeing this attire, Hua Zuili suddenly thought that for this sacrifice, Princess Changning was going to replace the empress of the current dynasty. Since ancient times, royal ancestors have been accompanied by emperors and empresses.

However, Emperor Huan's most beloved Empress Yuanchun died 12 years ago. Since then, the Feng position has been vacant. Courtiers came up to her many times, but Emperor Huan ignored them all.

Since ancient times, the emperors have been fickle, but when they came to Emperor Huan, they became affectionate.

But now she saw the majesty and nostalgic look of the eldest princess, and suddenly felt that this incident was a bit weird. If it is true that the emperor and empress are deeply affectionate, how could she agree to her younger sister to take the place of wife? If she remembers correctly, Mei Zhuoxue is the child of the former empress...

As soon as this thought came out, the appearance of Mei Ruoyue appeared in her mind again,

In a mess, she felt that she was really going to be confused by the sun.

"Miss Hua is finally willing to show her face. It's really not easy." Chang Ning walked in slowly with her arms raised, she stopped when she passed by Hua Zuili, and said softly with an unclear expression.

Hua Zuili buried all doubts in her heart, lowered her eyes and replied: "I don't know what your highness said, if there is any offense, please forgive me."

"Heh, as expected of the prime minister's daughter, she has a way of pretending to be stupid." Chang Ning sneered, "But that's all, even if I don't worry about your affairs, there are still people who care about you now, and once that person speaks, you can't even hide .”

After speaking, she left directly.

Hua Zuili understood who the 'that person' Chang Ning was talking about. She folded her fingertips and squeezed each other until her fingertips turned white. I don't know the detailed plan anymore, if I really want to marry, he... is fine.

……

The high altar with white steps soars into the sky, and monks wearing golden-patterned cassocks sit on the left and right sides of each step, knocking on the circle with their hands, and muttering complicated and long Sanskrit sounds in their mouths.

Emperor Huan walked in the front, Chang Ning was a step behind him, followed by Mei Zhuoxue and other heirs of the royal family.

Emperor Huan walked up the white jade steps slowly and firmly, step by step. The black gold robe on his body was shining brightly in the sunlight.

When he reached the top of the steps, he worshiped with both hands, while the people behind him knelt down.

At this time, an old monk with a Zen stick in his hand walked in slowly. He first bent down and said "Amitabha", and then glanced at the young monk who bowed his head beside him. The young monk stepped forward, holding a bowl filled with clear water in his hand.

The old monk picked up the mugwort branches that were half soaked in water, and gently swayed them on Emperor Huan's body.

Ai Ye Ju Ling has been nourished by the Buddhist incense offered by the Taimiao for many years, so it has the spiritual energy of the sky, which can dispel bad luck when sprinkled on people.

These are all the contents of the notes that Hua Zuili made when she was tossing Mei Zhuoxue's study during her lifetime. She was kneeling at the bottom right now, thinking wildly in her mind, but for some reason she recalled the picture of getting along with Mei Zhuoxue in her previous life.

She suddenly had the idea to see what he looked like standing on the high platform, but soon, this idea was suppressed by her, and her head hung even lower.

After accepting the baptism, Emperor Huan knelt down again and listened to the reciting officials read the ancestral precepts left by the ancestors of the past generations.

Those high-spirited proclamations drifted into everyone's ears with the wind, and the slanting shadows under their feet slowly elongated until the orange-red fire clouds in the sky were rendered with the hunting sky and flags, and it was considered an end.

Emperor Huan got up, took the three incense sticks from the young monk, bowed again, turned around and walked down the high platform, logically, this should be the end of the ancestor worship, but unexpectedly, Emperor Huan stood there after walking down a few steps.

"Your Majesty." The people next to him called out to him, but Emperor Huan didn't say a word. He stood with his hands behind his back and glanced at the courtiers, generals, princes and nobles who were respectful under the high platform.

"All my loves." He said, "By taking advantage of such a grand banquet, I would like to announce one thing first. I want to betroth my beloved daughter, Princess Ruoyue, to Xue Sheng, the number one scholar in this imperial examination."

He spoke so loudly that the civil and military ministers were taken aback for a moment, then knelt down and congratulated each other loudly, "Congratulations to Your Highness Fifth, congratulations to Zhuangyuan Xue."

The voice was wave after wave, and Xue Sheng, who was only standing on the second step, was in a trance for a moment, but Mei Ruoyue reacted quickly, pulled him over quickly and knelt down on the steps, and said happily: "My son, thank you!" Royal Father!"

His hands were pulled down and his knees hit the ground hard, only then did Xue Sheng realize that he was really going to marry Mei Ruoyue, and when he thought of the hundreds of people shouting and thousands of people bowing down just now, an inexplicable and indescribable surge surged into his heart instantly.

"My lord, thank you majesty!"

Emperor Huan nodded and raised his hand to let them get up.

It was also at this time that Princess Changning next to her answered the words: "Brother Huang, since Ruoyue's marriage has been decided, it's better to have another happy event."

"Oh? You still want to talk about He Xi?"

Chang Ning smiled: "There is a little girl in the Hua family. I have always loved her as much as my own daughter. Now that Ruoyue is married, I can't help but feel anxious for her. How about this marriage...Brother Huang also takes care of her?" give it."

The little girl from the Hua family... Don't think about it, everyone knows who it is, but on such a grand occasion of royal ancestor worship, it is justifiable to give a marriage to the princess-after all, she is the favored biological daughter, but a minister It would be a bit of a fuss to discuss the marriage of my daughter's daughter here.

Everyone had different expressions, and their drunken hands were tightly clenched, and they secretly said, Mei Zhuoxue, you must do your best...

"Holy."

The first person to speak out was Hua Qingze, he took a step forward and cupped his hands, "My little girl is naughty, how can she deserve to be here, and be married by the holy name, such a grace, my Hua family can't afford it."

"Aiqing's words are different." Emperor Huan smiled, "You are dedicated to heaven and you are loyal to me. I can see it well. To give Zui Li a marriage is not a big deal that is too difficult."

"Well... what do you think of my third prince?"
