The day before the day before the sacrifice to the gods, Jiang Zi was in Prince Jiang's mansion, so Eunuch Qian rehearsed for him the etiquette details of tomorrow's grand ceremony.
Of course, Jiang Zizai's mind was not on this etiquette, he only cared about when Jiang Junjian would come out. He is also concerned about what his brother and Dongyang Jing will face tomorrow.
On the eve of the sacrifice day, Yanlong Market stayed up all night.
The annual God Sacrifice Day was originally the most grand festival of the Yanlong Dynasty. This year, a princess was married, and a crown prince established a crown princess, so it was even more grand.
At night, Yanlong Market is filled with festive lanterns, ribbons, and paper-cuts. The whole city is shrouded in a sea of red. There will be a lantern festival that night. Welcome to tomorrow's grand festival.
Children run around, actors perform on the street, and strange people from all walks of life perform their unique skills, attracting bursts of applause. The common people love to watch these mysterious things.
The lively atmosphere lasted until dawn, and instead of weakening, it became more enthusiastic, because people knew that within the imperial city, there would be a series of grand gatherings soon.
Yesterday morning, Emperor Yanlong said that he would amnesty the world today, and those prisoners who have repented and performed well in the prisons of the dynasty will have the opportunity to be reborn.
The grand event of the dynasty, the world celebrates together!
Dongyang Jing was born in the Qingluan clan, one of the nine major clans in the imperial dynasty. She is the eldest daughter of King Qingluan. People all over the world have no objection.
People just heard that Dongyang Jing had a good relationship with Jiang Junjian, and she once disobeyed King Qingluan at the grand meeting of the Six Mansions. Obviously, she doesn't like the prince and has her own heart. Whether she will really surrender today is also a matter of concern to the public. .
"Comparing the prince with Jiang Junjian, Jiang Junjian was really excellent in the past, but now he is different from the past. He is a future emperor and a prisoner. I believe that Dongyang Jing will make a choice under the persuasive guidance of the elders."
"The so-called love is really insignificant compared to the real future and the pressure of the family. No one, for the so-called true love, would not even want Qian Qian's life."
Discussions like this are endless throughout the dynasty.
Of course, they didn't know that when Eunuch Qian was making preparations for Jiang Zizai and the others in full swing, a tall man in prison clothes and a group of other pardoned criminals walked out of the cold Tai'e Prison in the corner of the imperial city. The gate of Taihe Prison.
After a year, I finally saw the sun.
At that moment, he could only close his eyes, the sun was too dazzling.
He was a little unsteady, only he knew how much the torment of adversity had destroyed him in this year.
After a long time, he opened his eyes slightly.
"Hurry up, don't block the way here, the dog's life will not die, hurry up and get out!" The jailer behind was already urging them.
A group of people who haven't seen the sun for an unknown amount of time walked forward in a daze.
The light hurts the eyes.
What can be heard is that there are noisy and festive sounds everywhere, especially in the direction of the imperial court, with gongs, drums and firecrackers blaring.
Looking over there, there are lights and festoons along the way, and children are running around happily.
"Xiao Jing." He knew that she had already gone there.
"Jun Jian." There was a middle-aged man in a yellow robe standing in front of him. The middle-aged man lowered his head and his face was a little faded. When he saw the tall man, he said, "The princess asked me to take you out of the city. Come with me, let’s get out of this sea of suffering first.”
"Where's Xiao Jing?" Jiang Junjian asked.
"At noon, she will marry the prince first, and then the concubine will find a way to bring her out. At that time, you can go as far as you want." Jiang Yuan, the head of the Huanglin Mansion, said.
Jiang Junjian stood up for a while.
He suddenly turned around and headed towards the imperial city.
"Jun Jian, what are you?" Jiang Yuan had a headache.
Jiang Junjian walked faster and faster.
"Jun Jian, you have to listen to Wang Hao's arrangement. It will not benefit either of you if you go there now. If there is trouble there, Wang Hao will bring Dongyang Jing out next, and it will only cause more trouble!"
In the past, Jiang Yuan had already admitted his mistake, and Ruohua gave him a chance.
This time he arranged for him to take Jiang Junjian away, and he still trusted him.
However, Ruohua probably didn't expect that Jiang Yuan couldn't hold back Jiang Junjian at all. In this lively Yanlong Market, Jiang Junjian disappeared into the crowd and disappeared in front of him after a few dodges.
"This is terrible, it's strange, Jun Jian was a calm person before, why is he so calm today?"
"It's no wonder, who can look at the person he likes and marry someone else, and it's still in front of the world, but this can't lose his mind..."
"I have to hurry and tell the princess."
In fact, he also watched Jiang Junjian grow up.
He knows his character better, he can't hide and wait, and let the person he wants to protect take the risk alone.
He knew very well what choice she would make if she failed. He knows her too well.
…
Yanlong Imperial City!
The most lively place today is naturally the Shenzhu, the origin of the royal family.
The sacred pillar of origin exclusive to the royal family, also known as: Yanlong divine pillar!
That is the cradle of totem warriors of the Yanlong royal family, and all the Yanlong royal family got their dragon totems here.
It is said that the probability of getting a dragon totem here is very high, so it is directly called the "flame dragon pillar".
The Yanlong Divine Pillar stands on the huge Yanlong Altar, which is so big that it can accommodate tens of thousands of people.
Today, the Yanlong Emperor first led the royal family to worship the ancestors in front of the princes and ministers, and then let the young people of the royal family get totems here!
There are not many teenagers of the right age in the royal family, so it was over in about an hour.
People knew that the grand event was about to begin, and the marriage of the royal family was different from that of ordinary people. They all got married under the Yanlong Divine Pillar and under the witness of the ancient gods.
In the morning, Jiang Zizai was waiting for the people from King Jiang's Mansion, and they had already arrived at the Yanlong Altar. He was dressed up all night, and now he was dressed in red, dressed up to attend, with a bunch of hair accessories on his head. Today, he is indeed a handsome man , the appearance is magnificent, but he is tired of these decorations, and when this grand event is over, he will get rid of those ghost things on his head as soon as possible.
Now he hasn't seen Princess Lingxuan, nor Dongyang Jing. On the contrary, Prince Long Yun had already appeared, he was full of joy today, chatting and laughing with people from all walks of life.
His attire is naturally more domineering than Jiang Zizai's, but after all, in terms of temperament, compared with Jiang Zizai, he looks much vulgar. When comparing the two, there is a difference between them, which people did not expect.
After the ancestor worship was over, tens of thousands of people gathered at the Yanlong Altar. They were high-ranking officials and powerful men who were invited from all over the world. For example, the patriarchs of the nine major clans, such as the three dragon kings and their families, as well as the prime minister's mansion, the Zhenguo Taiwei's mansion, the Yushi Taiwei's mansion and other princes and ministers.
The generals guarding the four directions, as long as they have no important missions, are already there. There are dozens of generals at the same level as Jiang Junjian alone.
In the past few days, dignitaries from all over the world have been going to Yanlong Ruins to congratulate the Yanlong Emperor, and they have to give two gifts, one for the princess and one for the prince, which is almost equivalent to an offering. It has already been softened, after all, the city lords and governors of all parties are all powerful figures in the local area, and they have a lot of treasures in their hands.
It is said that the Yanlong Emperor was very happy and announced on the spot that all these gifts would be given to Jiang Zizai and the crown prince.
It can be said that the most important figures of the entire dynasty have gathered here.
These are all famous people. When they come here, they can have a grand social meeting. No one wants to be isolated, so before the wedding ceremony, they start talking.
At this time, the Yanlong Emperor reappeared, and for a while, the whole world worshiped him.
