After all, he is a child, and eating in the past few days has been difficult for him to swallow. Staying in the Zhai Palace all day long has no fun at all.

"Tomorrow is the day to worship the heaven." Jiang Yunqing reminded, waving his hand, "Come here quickly."

As she spoke, she had to carefully observe Ji Yang's expression for fear that he would show dissatisfaction.

Ji Chen is not a unruly and willful child, but he has been bored these past few days.

"We have to wait until tomorrow. I don't want to drink porridge anymore, and I'm going to be hungry in the middle of the night." After Ji Chen finished speaking, he held his chin and looked at Ji Yang, dragging his voice, "Father, I don't want to stay here anymore. "

I can't ride horses, shoot arrows, or listen to music. I can only watch some boring things and listen to my mother reciting Buddhist scriptures.

"Chen'er, don't be so rude." Jiang Yunqing's heart skipped a beat. According to Ji Yang's emphasis on the matter of offering sacrifices to heaven, he was afraid that he might get angry, so he said in a low voice, "Come here quickly, Queen Mother."

"No problem." Ji Yang raised his hand to stop him, then looked at Ji Chen, "If I remember correctly, it was the emperor himself who asked to come?"

Ji Chen lowered his head and said after a while, "But I don't want to stay anymore."

"Is there any reason to do things half-way? What's more, this is a sacrifice to heaven and a prayer for the people of the world." Ji Yang said to him slowly without any reproach in his expression.

Hearing this, Ji Chen lowered his head and said, "I know I was wrong."

Jiang Yunqing's heart was relieved again, and he said, "Your Majesty, Ji Chen was confused for a moment, so he must be..."

Before she finished speaking, Ji Yang raised his hand and she stopped talking. He looked at Ji Chen and said, "Come to me."

Ji Chen raised his head and looked worried, but he didn't dare to be negligent. He walked towards Ji Yang bravely and timidly called out, "Father."

Jiang Yunqing looked worried, and his eyebrows also wrinkled.

"What did you say to me a few days ago? Do you still remember?" Ji Yang asked.

"My son..." He hesitated.

"Speak louder!" Ji Yang's eyes suddenly became sharp and he stared at him.

Jiang Yunching was also startled, her heart beating loudly, but she didn't dare to add fuel to the fire.

Ji Chen straightened his back, raised his voice, and clenched his little fists, "My son, I said that I would come with my father, the emperor, and my queen to pray for the people. I hope that the people in the world can live and work in peace and contentment and avoid the pain of displacement."

"As a gentleman says, a horse cannot be chased. Now do you mean to go back to the palace alone?" Ji Yang said again.

Ji Chen shook his head violently.

"Speak." Ji Yang narrowed his eyes.

"I don't have my son. I want to be here with my father, the emperor, and my queen. I know my mistake, and I ask my father to punish me." He said and knelt down with a guilty look on his face.

Jiang Yunqing looked at this scene in shock, and her first reaction was to kneel down, "I can't teach you, I beg the emperor to spare Chen'er this time."

In fact, she scolded Ji Yang hard from the bottom of her heart.

She still cared about the people, and continued to practice alchemy under the guise of the people. She was extremely stupid and acted in a pretentious manner, but she was pitiful for her son. She was taught that she should not be close to him, and she could still restore the innocence of their mother and son.

"The Queen is not wrong. Chen'er is still young, so I can understand." Ji Yang stepped forward to help her, and then looked at Ji Chen, "You are the prince, and you have responsibilities to bear. From the moment you were born, , there is a heavy burden on our shoulders that cannot be lifted off, and it cannot be like this today, do you understand? "

"My son, I understand." Ji Chen responded.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Father."

Jiang Yunching also calmed down and sat upright. He looked at Ji Chen from time to time and saw that he was sitting upright and drinking porridge seriously.

She glanced at Ji Yang again out of the corner of her eye, and there was a flash in her eyes. What burden could she not shake off? If a prince came out of Concubine Li's belly, Ji Chen would be thinking about how to stay mediocre and protect himself.

He said one thing after another in a high-sounding way.

She knows Ji Yang's hypocrisy better than anyone else.

The next day.

Before dawn, lights were lit outside the Temple of Heaven. Palace maids and eunuchs were coming and going carrying offerings. They were busy for a while. Soldiers in uniform gathered around the Temple of Heaven. Civil and military officials from all over the court had arrived, gathering around and whispering.

"I heard there's a plague in the northwest."

"At this juncture, why else would the emperor be offering sacrifices to God?"

"Why."

A group of veterans gathered around, looking at each other and sighing, and then looking at the unprecedented large formation, shaking their heads.

"It's because of the turmoil in the northwest that we have to offer sacrifices to heaven and pray for blessings. Master Yiyi personally went out to do this to protect the people of the world." Chen He walked by, glanced at several ministers, and spoke in a loud voice.

"The national treasury is empty and supplies are scarce in the northwest. Now is not the time to offer sacrifices to heaven." A minister looked at him with a stern expression and glared.

"Hasn't General Jiang already set off for the northwest? He has sent supplies. I believe it will be solved soon." Chen He said with a half-smile but not a smile.

"you……"

"Master He, forget it."

He Yan was caught. After all, Chen He was in the limelight. If he secretly retaliated, the gain would outweigh the loss.

Seeing that they dared to be angry but dared not speak out, Chen He raised his head even higher.

"The Emperor has arrived."

"The Queen has arrived."

"The eldest prince has arrived."

The eunuch's sharp voice came, and all the civil and military officials knelt down one after another.

Ji Yang walked up the steps, followed by Jiang Yunching and Ji Chen, both of whom were also dressed in finery today.

When he reached the top floor, Ji Yang turned around, looked down, and said forcefully, "Everyone loves me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The ministers were in the center of the inner altar. In front of them was an altar with various tributes and props and charms placed on it. In front of them stood a mage wearing a long coat.

"Today is a rare and auspicious day for worshiping heaven in a hundred years. Master Yiyi is superb in Taoism, so he will definitely pray to God to bless the people and protect the northwest from the difficulties..." Ji Yang said from above, and finally said, "Down below, just let's start."

As soon as he finished speaking, music played outside, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn. The mage turned over, picked up the sword on the altar, and waved it.
