Hello Chang’an

Chapter 60 Chaos

I saw Yao Xia, who was nodding and dozing off, unable to hold on anymore and fell asleep on the small table.

She still held the pen in her hand, and when she lay down like this, the ink was drawn on her face. She was not awakened yet, so she lay there and fell asleep.

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

Chang Sui Ning also smiled.

This is not acknowledging the bed. This is clearly using the sky as a quilt and the earth as a bed.

It was easy to catch a cold while sleeping like this, so she woke Yao Xia up quickly.

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

She sat up in excitement, looked at the Buddhist scriptures soaked with saliva, and was shocked: "It's broken, it's broken! The Buddha must blame me!"

When others copy the scriptures, they accumulate merit.

She copied the scriptures, but she copied them upside down!

Yao Xia was about to cry but had no tears. On the way away with Chang Sui Ning, she kept mumbling that she would not sleep when she got back. She vowed to smash the wooden fish tonight to make amends and pray for forgiveness from the Buddha.

…

It is not known whether Yao Xia's wooden fish was smashed that night, and the blessing ceremony the next day was naturally held as scheduled.

There is an altar built in Dayun Temple. At this time, all the officials, ministers and wives, all wearing court clothes, were waiting on both sides.

As the official servants who were responsible for blessings walked towards the altar with utensils in their hands, the sound of ritual music started, and the emperor in official uniform appeared in the sight of everyone, bathed in the morning light.

The Holy Emperor walked slowly, his large robes embroidered with gold threads were spread on the ground, and the female officer Mingluo was at his side, accompanying the emperor step by step towards the solemn altar.

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

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

"Your Majesty, please excuse me."

She took the Xuanjiu from the ceremony officer, held it in her sleeves with one hand, and slowly poured it in front of the sacrificial table: "On this occasion of mid-spring, today I and all your ministers will sacrifice to the heaven and the earth, worship with utensils, and act with etiquette. I would like to express my sincere condolences to the gods of heaven and earth, and pray that God will bless my people in Dasheng Jiangshan with good weather and peace and happiness."

Everyone bowed again and responded in unison.

As the emperor held incense and worshiped in front of the sacrificial table, the high-pitched singing of the ceremony officials and the sound of ritual music rose high.

"bye!"

"Goodbye!"

Chang Suining stood in the row of female relatives, bowing together, never raising her eyes.

The sacrifice was smooth, complicated and lengthy. After kneeling and bowing, many young men and ladies in the crowd were no longer as formal as they were at first.

However, the emperor is no longer as good as he is at home, and he does not dare to give up his choices. And because he always receives the glare of the elders in the family, he can only support himself and remind himself to try not to make mistakes.

Yao Xia also worked very hard.

Because she was still thinking about Chang Sui Ning, thinking that Chang's sister was weak and would have difficulty supporting her 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 extraordinarily upright, and she didn't seem to be struggling at all.

Yao Xia saw this in her eyes, and after being shocked, she could only come to one conclusion - the waste was actually 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 blue and black, as if he didn't sleep well last night.

Yao Ran, who was helped by Yao Xia, quickly stood upright and looked in the direction of Pei uneasily. However, he saw that his mother had not stared at her today, and her attention was probably on her father, so that she did not notice her just now. 's fault.

Yao Ran breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously.

As the sun gradually rises and the blessing ceremony is halfway through, two sacred elephants slowly appear pulling floats. On top of the float is a giant cauldron.

The tripod is an important tool for founding a country and a symbol of power. The giant tripod cast by Emperor Shengce for this sacrifice is called the "Shanhe Ding". The tripod depicts the territory of Dasheng, with mountains and rivers stretching endlessly.

"I dedicate this cauldron to heaven and earth, and may God bless me with great prosperity, great prosperity, and eternal prosperity of mountains and rivers." The Holy Emperor stood with his back to everyone, standing in front of the sacrificial case, slightly raising his head and closing his eyes, his voice gradually became lower, and Mingluo could hear a little bit by his side. : "I also hope that God will have mercy on my son..."

Mingluo lowered his eyes slightly.

At this time, a commotion suddenly broke out below the altar.

The roar of an elephant suddenly started, and Mingluo turned around and saw that the male elephant pulling the float suddenly broke free uncontrollably!

Min Luo's expression suddenly changed.

There must be no mistakes in every step of the blessing ceremony, otherwise it will mean 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 for this blessing -

"Where is the elephant slave?!"

"quick!"

Several elephant slaves had already stepped forward, but at this moment they were unable to appease the male elephant.

The bull elephant was extremely strong and quickly broke away from the float. The float lost its balance due to the strong drag, and the thousand-jin Shanhe Tripod was about to fall down at any moment!

"Get out of the way!"

The crowd became panicked. For a moment, no one cared about the ritual regulations and retreated to avoid the situation.

"The Mountain and River Cauldron must not be damaged!" the Holy Book Emperor said solemnly.

However, as soon as his voice fell, the swaying giant cauldron completely lost its balance and fell to one side.

When the huge cauldron was about to fall, a figure suddenly flew forward quickly and supported the cauldron with his hands. The huge impact caused a trace to leave his feet.

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

"Grand Governor!" Yuan Xiang stepped forward and supported the giant cauldron together.

At the same moment, Chang Kuo also ran over.

Soon, Xuance's army surrounded them and worked together to right the giant cauldron.

"Bang!"

The bronze cauldron landed firmly on the ground and made a buzzing sound when it hit the ground.

It was a great blessing that the Mountain and River Cauldron was rescued intact. However, everyone had no time to relax, because the bigger trouble had obviously not been solved yet—

The male elephant that broke free from the float went crazy and trampled away in the direction of the women.

The faces of the female relatives turned pale. As they dodged, one girl was knocked to the ground. Seeing that the giant elephant was about to come in front of them, she was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground and forgot to react for a moment.

"Cousin!" The blood on Yao Xia's face faded away after seeing the person lying limply on the ground.

Ms. Pei, who had avoided it early, looked at this scene and her eyes widened: "Ran'er!"

Why didn't she know how to stay away?

Someone in the Pei family had raised elephants before, so Pei knew very well that not only was he trampled by an elephant, but even if he bumped into it, he would either die or be maimed!

Help!

Someone come and save her daughter!

Pei looked around in a panic, but saw that the Xuance Army's eyes could not pay attention to this detail for a moment, and they had no time to stop it, and Yao Yi didn't know where he went in the chaos -

Everything happened in just a short moment. Seeing that thick elephant leg like a tree stump was about to trample on the girl, the female family members turned their faces away in fear, not daring to look at the **** scene!

An update for today. The children at home have also started to have a fever... Is everyone okay? I can't see everyone talking, and I feel really missed~
