Chapter 148: Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains
Since ancient times, the human race has been the extreme of the nine-digit yang number, the height of the sky is nine, the ninth day of the ninth month, the sun and the moon are all nine, and the two nines are heavy, so it is called the heavy nine!
Ninety-nine to one, one yuan begins, Vientiane is renewed!
Therefore, the whole Daxia has the custom of drinking and praying for longevity during the Chongjiu Festival, sacrificing to the sky, worshiping ancestors, and praying for longevity!
On this day, all the people in the 36 states of Great Xia wear dogwood, eat Peng'er, drink chrysanthemum wine, and gather together to climb the height to worship the heaven and earth, and after the opening of the Great Xia Dynasty, there is one more sacrificial activity, that is, to sacrifice mountains and seas.
Sacrifice to the mountains and seas, sacrifice to the mountains and seas!
Before dawn, the residents of Shenjing City got up in the dark, because at noon today, the royal family will hold a sacrifice ceremony and a ceremony for His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun and the crown in the Temple of Heaven in the White Emperor Palace, and the outer city of the White Emperor Palace will be open to the outside, and the people in Shenjing can enter to watch the ceremony, so the people who plan to go to the ceremony will ascend to worship their ancestors in the morning to avoid conflicts with the royal family.
In the residential area at the foot of Daogong Mountain, a light pierced the darkness early and lit up, zhōng nián měi fù got up early to prepare all the sacrificial items, and then called their husbands and daughters to get up one by one, handed hot water towels, and waited for the two living treasures to wash, so that everything was ready at dawn, a family of three stood at the door of their own courtyard, and the girl was still yawning constantly, zhōng nián měi fù gently grabbed the doorknob and pulled it in!
What caught my eye was not the street that had been a little empty in the early morning, but a sergeant in an orderly formation, wearing armor and holding a halberd, with a resolute face and sharp eyes, standing at an orderly interval between each other, starting from the courtyard next door, and extending outward along the street into two columns, completely blocking the entire street, standing quietly without making the slightest sound, but with a majestic killing, isolating the street within the human wall from the outside of the territory, and becoming its own side.
A carriage appeared from the end of the street, and then slowly drove to the gate of the courtyard, the curtain of the carriage opened, and a middle-aged palace maid came down from it, which was the personal maid of the old queen mother, knocked on the door of the courtyard, and then walked into it.
Such a formation made the beautiful eyes of Zhōng Nián Měi Fù and the Yanyan girl widen, and their red lips opened, and they were surprised, while the purple-robed middle-aged man beside him looked at the reclosed courtyard gate, and the time and space in his eyes changed, and he said lightly:
"The Great Xia Phoenix, from today onwards, will be on top. ”
At this time, in the bitter tea courtyard, Zhao Yu stood in the inner room, his hands outstretched, his face helpless, dozens of palace maids standing in line with brocade boxes beside him, and three elderly palace maids circled around him.
Zhao Yugui is the grandson of the Great Xia Emperor, and the crown clothes to participate in the sacrifice and the crown are extremely cumbersome, from the Xuanyi, the silk dress to the white Luo belt, and then to the yellow cover knee, plain yarn in the single, etc., each of the wear is extremely cumbersome, each has its own attention, and it is not sloppy at all.
The old empress's personal palace maid revolved around Zhao Yu, and when she found something wrong, she immediately pointed it out, so her slightly stern voice was in the whole room:
"Wait again to check whether the position of the twelve coats of arms is correct, the sun, moon, and dragon patterns are on the shoulders of the Xuanyi, the back is the stars, the mountain pattern, the sleeves are fire, Chinese insects, Zong Yi patterns, and there are algae, pink rice, yellow, and black patterns on the clothes, to ensure that there is no mistake, and there are jade hooks and jade pendants, hurry up. ”
Immediately, a palace maid sent the brocade box containing jade hooks and jade pendants to the front, and then was hung on Zhao Yu's waist.
"Now that the crown is finished, Your Highness may put your hands down. ”
Hearing the voice of the middle-aged palace maid, Zhao Yu was relieved, sighed lightly, and heard the palace maid's exclamation again:
"Your Highness is like an immortal descending to earth at this time, it is really not like a mortal person, even the slave and maid, I can't help but take a second look. ”
After a process, it took a full hour, during which the look in the eyes of the little maid Ruyue changed from the first eagerness to try, to distress for her son-in-law, and finally turned into full horror and worship, the little face turned red unconsciously, in fact, it was not only the little girl Ruyue who blushed, the palace maids lined up on the side, raised their heads to take a look, and immediately lowered their heads, and their small faces were also crimson.
Zhao Yu under the background of the black crown robe, handsome and majestic coexist, ebony-like pupils, slightly frowning brows, and the two bright red cinnabar avenue lines in the center of the eyebrows, the creation of heaven and earth, standing quietly, is the residence of the gods who walk in the world.
The door of the bitter tea inner room opened, and Zhao Yu's figure strode out, and the guards in the courtyard, including Liang Po, Li Yi and others, were already waiting and got up one after another.
The rouge girl is also dressed very ceremoniously today, the old queen mother is worried about her, and she specially sent a set of clothes to her earlier, and after putting it on, she is no longer the inconspicuous one in the bitter tea bush at first glance, but the most touching carmine in the world.
Zhao Yu lowered his head, looked at the little hand he stretched out, grabbed the rouge on the corner of the sleeve of the crown robe, and asked softly:
"Will you come with me?"
The girl nodded, her eyes full of seriousness.
"Okay, then you will stand by my grandmother's side and help me take care of her old man. ”
The girl's big eyes bent into two moons, and she nodded heavily again.
"Boom!"
A solemn and majestic bell rang from the bell tower of the White Emperor Palace, and then resounded throughout the entire Shenjing City, followed by one after another, after the bell rang six times, the gate outside the White Emperor Palace was opened, and countless people of Shenjing who were waiting outside poured into it, and at the same time, the dragon-like carriage at the door of the two lanes of Zizhu and Liuye set off at the same time.
In the Taihang Palace, which specially received envoys, a snow-white carriage with the same body slowly drove out, and the snow-folk girl Xueyan drove, and pieces of snowflakes fell downward from the carriage.
The saint travels, and the sky sends a vision!
In the various post stations and inns in Shenjing City, the elders and disciples of the various invited sects in Great Xia walked out one after another, riding their horses and hurrying, aiming directly at the White Emperor Palace.
One palace, one pavilion, and one of the four sects of Daxia, a great cultivator who saw the head and the end of the dragon on weekdays was revealed in front of people, and his momentum was restrained, hidden but not revealed.
In the bitter tea courtyard, Zhao Yuzheng comforted Chu Chu's poor little Ruyue, who was a little aggrieved because he couldn't accompany him, so he said that after assigning her the task of teaching the insect master to speak, she broke into laughter.
After the bell rang, the middle-aged palace maid came to Zhao Yu's side and reminded: "Your Highness, the morning bell is ringing, the hour has come, the palace gate is open at this moment, we should set off." ”
Zhao Yu nodded, strode to the gate of the courtyard, stopped, looked back and looked deeply at the bitter tea house that had only lived for a month, but brought him good memories, and then took a slight breath and pushed the door out.
After today, there are thousands of miles in front of you!
