Domineering Peasant Girl is Not Easy To Mess With

From the middle of the night, the palace became busy, and the capital was also tense and busy.

There is a solemn sense of sacred ceremony in the tension.

The gates of the city had already been opened, the imperial road was sprinkled with water and cleaned, and the buildings on both sides of the imperial road were tied with festive ribbons and auspicious lanterns hung.

Two rows of strong-bodied and distinctively armored guards stood proudly on both sides of the royal road, imposing and unparalleled in majesty.

When the sky was about to light up, Emperor Yuande, who was wearing auspicious clothes for offering sacrifices to heaven, was in the presence of His Second Highness, royal family members with titles, officials of the first and second ranks, highly respected Confucian scholars from the Hanlin Academy, officials from the Ministry of Rites, and eunuchs and maids. Surrounded by them, they boarded the dragon chariot, led a huge team, and marched out of the palace, out of the city, and headed for the place of offering sacrifices to heaven in the northern suburbs.

On the high turret inside the palace gate, Empress Meng, wrapped in a luxurious cloak, stood against the wind holding the maid's hand, watching the long and gorgeous procession of honor slowly leaving the palace, she felt relieved, unconsciously The corners of her charming lips were raised, and she smiled triumphantly.

It's a sure thing!

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

That bastard Zhou Yunshen is already dead, right?

"Congratulations, empress! Congratulations, empress!" The court ladies and eunuchs who knew what she was thinking all knelt down and congratulated.

If you don't flatter now, when will you wait?

"Hahahaha!" Even if she kept a low profile in front of people on weekdays, Empress Meng couldn't be patiently excited at this moment, and burst out laughing carefreely.

Guangxiu waved imposingly, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Go back to the palace, everyone will be rewarded today!"

This is natural, His Highness the Second Highness is the crown prince from today onwards, this is a great joyous event, and it is natural to reward it.

All the court ladies and eunuchs thanked each other for their kindness, and then got up, supported and surrounded Empress Meng and went back to Kunning Palace.

Besides, Emperor Yuande and his party left the palace and the city in a mighty way, and came to the altar that had been built in the northern suburbs.

At this moment, the three steps, one person, five steps and one post around the Tiantai have already been completely surrounded, and the palace ladies and eunuchs, court officials, Confucian scholars of the Hanlin Academy, etc., have been densely packed and overcrowded.

Qin Tianjian and everyone in the Ministry of Rites were busy making various arrangements, so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground.

When Yu Jia arrived, everyone stood in their respective positions and knelt down one after another. Wu Ya knelt down on the ground, shouting long live, and paying homage to the Son of Heaven.

With the support of His Second Highness, Emperor Yuande dismounted from the imperial chariot, and the Imperial Master of Yuan and Qing came forward to greet him.

Emperor Yuande hurriedly raised his hand to the Imperial Master of the Yuan and Qing Dynasties, and said with a smile, "There is no need for the Imperial Master to be too polite. Today, to worship the heavens, you must have the Imperial Master Lao!"

"This is the job of an old man." Yuan Qing Guoshi nodded slightly and said indifferently, glanced at the complacent and high-spirited Second Highness, feeling complicated in his heart.

The kind of person who knows everything but can't say a word, who is doomed to be disappointed in the end, is still looking forward to it, full of hope, and the taste is quite sour.

Yuan Qing Guoshi couldn't help sighing in his heart: that kid is really not a good stubble, this move is too ruthless, Empress Meng and this Second Highness are destined to become a joke...

Of course, Zhou Yunshen also told his master Yuanqing Guoshi about his return to Beijing.

"It's still early for the auspicious time for offering sacrifices to heaven. Please rest in the shed first, Your Majesty and Second Highness." Yuan Qing Guoshi said gently.

Emperor Yuande hummed, then went down to the colorful shed built beside him surrounded by the Second Highness and others.

Before leaving, the Second Highness Zhou Yunzhen took a deep glance at the Imperial Master of Yuan and Qing, the corners of his lips curled up, silently proud and elated.

Zhou Yunzhen sneered in his heart: Old man, if you hadn't stopped me, this king would have been the prince long ago! But so what if you stop it? Is it possible that you, an old magician who has some ability to play tricks, can still defy God's will?

That's God's will, hum, can you stop it even if you play tricks?

This king is the true Son of Heaven. This throne will belong to this king sooner or later!

You foolish blind man, you better live longer, and when the crown prince succeeds to the throne, he will definitely repay you well...

Everything is going on in an orderly manner, and after a while, the auspicious time has arrived.

Following the long and loud singing of the ceremonial officer of the Ministry of Rites, all the courtiers, members of the royal family, and scholars of the Confucian scholars took their positions, and stood in their positions in a dignified and solemn manner.

There was no sound in the scene of a large crowd of figures.

In this solemn atmosphere, Emperor Yuande wore a black wide-sleeved toga embroidered with nine golden dragons and a purple gold nine-pronged crown with tassels on the front and back. Following the eunuch's attendants, he slowly climbed up to the altar of worshiping heaven step by step.

On the three-foot-high four-square altar, the huge incense burner and all the objects for worshiping the sky are ready. The Yuan and Qing masters are standing on it wearing a large black and white Tai Chi robe, their blind eyes are slightly squinted, and they subconsciously look up look at the sky.

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

The resonant and long voice of the chanting officer rang out over the sacrificial platform. According to his instructions, Emperor Yuande, accompanied by the Yuan and Qing masters, worshiped the gods of heaven and earth in an orderly manner, and prayed for God to bless the great Zhou, the country, the people, and the prosperity of the country. .

Finally, the solemn ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven came to an end, and it ended smoothly and perfectly.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they knew that today's auspicious time was a good day calculated by Qintian monitoring, and logically there would be no accidents, but when the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was not completed, everyone was more or less sweating.

After all, this is the great ceremony of the country, and it is the most important ceremony of the country. There must be no mistakes, otherwise, people's hearts will be unstable, and it is also an ominous omen.

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

From today onwards, His Highness the Second Highness is the Crown Prince by name.

The former prince can only be the former prince forever, and there is no chance of a comeback.

As the tide rises, the Second Highness becomes the crown prince, and the followers such as himself will naturally become prestige.

Promotion and fortune are just around the corner.

Just thinking about it makes my heart feel hot.

I saw Emperor Yuande nodded slightly to Liu Fang, the chief executive beside him, Liu Fang cleared his throat, opened his mouth and was about to say something——

At this moment, a clear and loud bird song rang out in the sky. The song was so clear that everyone shuddered and looked up into the sky subconsciously.

The sky was high and blue, the sun was bright, and it was good weather.

But the birdsong--

"What's that sound?"

"What bird can make such a sound?"

"It's really strange, what exactly is it!"

Even Liu Fang, who was about to announce the will of Emperor Yuande's canonization, was taken aback and fell silent for a moment.
