Domineering Peasant Girl is Not Easy To Mess With

   Chapter 743 The Great Ceremony

  Beginning in the middle of the night, the palace was busy, and the capital was also tense and busy.

   There is a sense of solemnity in the tension.

  The city gate has long been opened, and the imperial road has been sprinkled with water to clean it up. The buildings on both sides of the imperial road are tied with festive ribbons and hung with auspicious and auspicious lanterns.

  Two rows of sturdy, well-armored guards stood on both sides of the imperial road, with awe-inspiring momentum and unparalleled majesty.

When the sky was about to dawn, Emperor Yuande, who was wearing a sacrificial costume, was in the presence of His Second Highness, royal clansmen with titles, first- and second-rank officials, famous Confucian scholars with high morals in the Hanlin Academy, officials of the Ministry of Rites, eunuchs and palace maids. Surrounded, boarded the dragon carriage, led a huge team, and went out of the palace, out of the city, and headed towards the northern suburbs where the sacrifice to the sky was.

On the high turret inside the palace gate, Empress Meng, wrapped in a luxurious cloak, stood with the hand of the palace maid in the wind, watching the long and gorgeous line of honor guards slowly leave the palace. The corners of her charming lips were raised, and she smiled complacently.

   The board is nailed!

  From today onwards, she is not only the queen, but also the biological mother of the future emperor. The country of this great week will one day belong to her and his son!

   That bitch, Zhou Yunshen, is already dead, right?

   "Congratulations to Niangniang! Congratulations to Niangniang!" The maids and eunuchs who knew what she was thinking all knelt down to congratulate her.

   When will it be time for flattery not to shoot at this time?

   "Hahahaha!" Rao Shi kept a low profile in front of people on weekdays, but Empress Meng couldn't be patiently excited at the moment, and laughed out loud.

   Guangxiu gave a very imposing wave, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Go back to the palace, everyone will be rewarded today!"

   This is natural. The Second Highness has been the Crown Prince since today. This is a big happy event, so it is natural to reward him.

  All the palace maids and eunuchs thanked them for their graces, and then got up, supported and surrounded Queen Meng and went back to Kunning Palace.

   Besides, Emperor Yuande and his party went out of the palace and the city in a mighty manner, and came to the Sacrificial Terrace that had been built in the northern suburbs.

   At this moment, three steps, one person, five steps, and one post around the sacrificial platform have long been crowded.

   Qin Tianjian and the people of the Ministry of Rites were busy making various arrangements, their feet not touching the ground.

When the    imperial car arrived, everyone knelt down in their respective positions, Wu Ya Ya knelt on the ground, long live the mountain, and paid tribute to the emperor.

   Emperor Yuande got off the imperial carriage with the support of His Second Highness, and the imperial teacher of Yuanqing came forward to greet him.

   Emperor Yuande hurriedly rushed to Yuanqing National Teacher, raised his hand, smiled and said: "The national teacher does not need to be too polite, today's sacrifice to the sky, there must be Lao Guoshi!"

   "This is a matter for the old man." Yuanqing Guoji nodded lightly and said lightly, looking at the complacent and high-spirited Second Highness, and his heart was complicated.

   That kind of person who knows everything but is not easy to say a word, watching someone who is destined to be disappointed in the end is still looking forward to it, full of hope, and the taste is quite sour.

   Yuanqing National Teacher couldn't help sighing in his heart: That kid is really not a good stubble, this trick is too cruel, Queen Meng and this second highness are destined to become a joke...

   Zhou Yunshen's return to Beijing naturally told his master Yuanqing Guoshi.

   "It's still early before the auspicious sacrifice to the heavens, please let the Holy Highness and the Second Highness rest in the color booth first." Yuanqing Guoshi said gently.

  Emperor Yuande hummed, and went down to the color booth built next to His Highness Second Highness and others.

  The Second Highness Zhou Yunzhen took a deep glance at the Yuanqing National Teacher before leaving, the corner of his lips hooked, silently proud and elated.

   Zhou Yunzhen sneered in his heart: Old man, if it wasn't for you to stop me, this king would already be the prince! But what if you stop it? Is it possible that your mere old magician who has some ability to pretend to be a ghost can still defy God's will?

  The will of God is like this, hum, can you stop it even if you pretend to be a ghost?

  This king is the real Dragon King. This throne, sooner or later, must belong to this king!

  You stinky blind man who pretends to be a ghost, you better live longer. When the prince succeeds, he will repay you well...

  Everything is going on in an orderly manner, and soon, the auspicious time will come.

   With the long and loud singing of the ritual officials of the Ministry of Rites, the officials, the royal family, the scholars and scholars took their places, and stood in their own positions in a dignified manner.

   The crowd of silhouettes was silent.

In this solemn atmosphere, Emperor Yuande wore a black wide-sleeved robe embroidered with nine golden dragons, and a purple gold nine crowns with tassels on the front and back of his head. The **** attendants descended and slowly ascended the altar of sacrifice to heaven step by step.

On the square altar that was three feet high and three feet high, the huge incense burner, the cauldron, and the objects for worshiping the heavens were all ready. The Yuanqing national teacher stood on it wearing a large black and white Taiji robe, his blind eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked up subconsciously. Look to the sky.

   He is truly blind, but although he cannot see, he can sense everything.

The loud and long voice of the singing official resounded in the sky above the sacrificial platform. According to his instructions, Emperor Yuande, accompanied by the national master of Yuanqing, worshipped the gods of heaven and earth in an orderly manner and prayed to God to bless the Dazhou, the country and the people, and the prosperity of the country. .

  Finally, the solemn ceremony of sacrificing the heavens came to an end, and it ended smoothly and perfectly.

   Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

  Although we knew that today's auspicious time was a good day calculated by Qintian's monitoring, there would be no surprises, but before the ceremony of sacrificing heaven was completed, everyone was more or less sweaty.

   After all, this is the grand ceremony of the country, and it is the most important ceremony for the country.

  The ministers, who had just calmed down, became excited again, especially those of the Second Highness's party, their eyes secretly looked in the direction of the Second Highness, and they were even more beaming.

  From today onwards, His Royal Highness is the rightful crown prince.

  The former prince can only be the former prince forever, and there will never be a chance to make a comeback again.

  As the tide rises, the second highness becomes the crown prince, and his followers naturally become prestige.

  Promotion and fortune are just around the corner.

   Just thinking about it makes my heart warm.

  I saw Emperor Yuan Dechong's chief executive Liu Fang nodded slightly, Liu Fang cleared his throat, opened his mouth and was about to say something——

   At this moment, a clear and bright bird chirping sounded in the sky. The chirping was so clear that everyone froze in unison and looked into the sky subconsciously.

   The sky is high and blue, the sun is bright, it is a good day.

   But the birdsong—

   "What's that sound?"

   "What bird can make such a sound?"

   "How strange, what is it!"

   Even Liu Fang, who was about to announce the will of Emperor Yuande's canonization, was startled and muted for a while.
