Chang'an is good

Chapter 60

It was Yao Xia who was dozing off with nodding head, but fell asleep on the small table unbearably.

Still holding the pen in her hand, she lay down like this, the ink was painted on her face, she was not awakened yet, and she fell asleep there.

Duan laughed in surprise: "Ms. Yao really doesn't recognize the bed."

Chang Suining also laughed.

This is not to recognize the bed, this is clearly the sky as the cover and the earth as the bed.

Sleeping like this is easy to catch cold, she quickly woke Yao Xia up.

Yao Xia woke up in a daze, and it took him a while to realize where he was. Subconsciously, he wiped his face with the back of his hand, dripping with ink and saliva.

She sat up in shock, looked at the Buddhist scriptures soaked in saliva, and turned pale with shock: "It's broken! The Buddha must blame me!"

Others copying the scriptures is accumulating merit.

She copied the scriptures, but it was reversed!

Yao Xia wanted to cry but had no tears. On the way away with Chang Suining, she kept saying that she would not go to sleep after returning home. Tonight, she vowed to smash the wooden fish to make up for it, and begged Buddha for forgiveness.

……

It is unknown whether Yao Xia's wooden fish was smashed that night, and the next day's blessing ceremony will naturally be held as scheduled.

There is an altar in the Dayun Temple. At this time, all the officials, ministers and wives are dressed in court clothes and wait on both sides.

As the servants of the officials in charge of praying for blessings walked towards the altar with utensils in their hands, the sound of ritual and music played, and the emperor in uniform appeared in the sight of everyone in the morning light.

The Emperor of the Holy Book walked slowly, the large gown embroidered with gold thread was spread on the ground, and the female officer Ming Luo was at his side, accompanying the emperor step by step towards the solemn altar.

Everyone saluted and shouted: "Long live my emperor!"

The Holy Book Emperor faced the crowd and raised her sleeves. The old look on her face made her look even more majestic and inviolable——

"Your honor is free."

She took the black wine handed over by the ceremonial officer, held the sleeve in one hand and the wine in the other, and slowly sprinkled it in front of the sacrificial table: "In this mid-spring, today I will bring all the ministers to sacrifice to the heaven and the earth. Le consolation, I would like to sincerely tell the gods and gods of heaven and earth, and pray that God will bless my people in the great prosperity of the country, with good weather, peace and happiness."

Everyone saluted again and responded in unison.

As the emperor held incense and worshiped before the sacrificial altar, the singing of the ritual officials and the sound of ritual music rose high.

"bye!"

"Goodbye!"

Chang Suining stood in a row of female relatives, bowing with them, never raising his eyes.

The sacrificial ceremony was smooth and cumbersome and lengthy, kneeling and worshiping, many young gentlemen and ladies in the crowd, their saluting postures were not as regular as they were at first.

However, at present, the emperor is no better than at home. He dare not give up his picks, and because he can always receive the eyes of the elders in the family frequently, he can only support himself and remind himself not to make mistakes as much as possible.

Yao Xia also worked very hard.

No wonder she was still thinking about Chang Suining, thinking that Chang's elder sister was weak, and it must be difficult for her to support herself at this moment, so she quietly raised her eyes and looked forward, only to see that the girl's back was straight, her figure was very upright, and she didn't seem to be struggling at all.

Seeing it, Yao Xia was astonished and only came to one conclusion—the waste was herself.

But Yao Xia soon discovered that the cousin beside her seemed to be exhausted, and her body was shaking slightly.

Yao Xia quietly helped her, but she saw that Yao Ran's eyes were slightly dark, as if she didn't sleep well last night.

Yao Ran, who was supported by Yao Xia, hurriedly stood upright and looked in Pei's direction uneasily, but saw that her mother hadn't stared at her today, her attention was probably on her father, so she didn't notice her just now fault.

Yao Ran breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously.

As the sun gradually rises and the blessing ceremony is halfway through, two idols slowly appear pulling the floats.

On the float is a giant tripod.

The tripod is an important tool for the establishment of a country and a symbol of power. The giant tripod cast by Emperor Shengchi for this sacrifice is named "Shanhe Ding".

"I offer this tripod to the heavens and the earth, and may God bless me with great prosperity, mountains and rivers forever—" the Holy Book Emperor stood in front of the sacrificial altar with his back to the crowd, raised his head slightly and closed his eyes, his voice gradually lowered, only Ming Luo who was beside him could hear it Xiao Xu: "I also hope God will have mercy on my son..."

Ming Luo lowered his eyes slightly.

But at this time, there was a sudden commotion under the altar.

The elephant blew suddenly, and Ming Luo turned around to look, only to see the male elephant pulling the float, suddenly broke free uncontrollably!
Ming Luo's expression changed immediately.

Every step of the process of the blessing ceremony must not go wrong, otherwise it means that the ceremony will be destroyed, which is a bad omen!
What's more, the mountain and river tripod on the float is the most important thing in this blessing——

"Where is the elephant slave?!"

"quick!"

Several elephant slaves had already stepped forward, but at this moment they could not appease the male elephant at all.

The bull elephant had great strength, and quickly broke free from the float. The float was dragged vigorously and lost its balance. The heavy mountain and river tripod was about to fall down at any moment!

"Get out of the way!"

The crowd panicked, and for a moment, no one cared about the sacrificial etiquette regulations, and all backed away to avoid it.

"The Shanhe Cauldron cannot be damaged!" the Emperor Shengji said in a deep voice.

However, as soon as the sound fell, I saw that the crumbling giant tripod completely lost its balance and fell to one side.

When the giant cauldron was about to fall, suddenly a crimson figure flew forward quickly, supporting the body of the cauldron with his hands, the huge impact made a trace under his feet.

Ming Luo subconsciously took a step forward: "Captain Cui, be careful!"

"Great Governor!" Yuan Xiang followed closely and supported the giant cauldron together.

At the same moment, Chang Kuo also rushed over.

Soon, Xuan Ce's army surrounded them, and they worked together to straighten the giant cauldron.

"Bang!"

The bronze tripod landed steadily, hitting the ground and making a buzzing sound.

It was a great blessing that the Shanhe Ding was protected intact, but there was no time for everyone to relax, because the bigger trouble had obviously not been resolved——

The bull elephant, which had broken free from the float, went mad and stomped towards the direction of the female relatives.

All the female relatives turned pale, and under the dodge, a young girl was knocked to the ground. Seeing that the giant elephant was approaching, she was so frightened that she fell limp on the ground and forgot to react for a while.

"Cousin!" Seeing the limp person on the ground clearly, the blood on Yao Xia's face faded away.

Pei Shi, who had avoided it early, also widened his eyes when he saw this scene: "Ran'er!"

Why didn't she know how to hide away!
The Pei clan had also raised elephants before, so the Pei clan knew very well that not to mention being trampled by an elephant, even if they bumped into it, they would either die or be disabled!

Save people!

Come and save her daughter!

Mrs. Pei looked around in a panic, but saw that the eyes of those Xuan Ce soldiers couldn't pay attention to this subtle point at all, and they didn't have time to stop, and Yao Yi didn't know where to go in the confusion——

Everything happened in just a short moment. Seeing that stump-like thick elephant leg was about to step on the girl, some female relatives turned their faces away in horror, not daring to look at the bloody scene!

　Today is a temporary update, and the children at home have also started to have a fever... How are you all?I can't see everyone talking, so I miss you~
