Mo Yanzhi has never been free since he woke up in the morning.
Today was the sacrificial ceremony, and it took him a long time longer than usual just to dress.
These days, in terms of dressing, he and Zhou You are the two of them, occasionally adding Yuan Qing.
However, no one else ever came close to him, especially when it came to eating.
After dealing with the dress, Mo Yanzhi had to deal with other things.
On this day, although Lou Yanqing presided over the ceremony, in terms of the process, since he is not the real Tian Yuexi, naturally he has to spend more time memorizing the process, so no mistakes can be made, including the fact that he will be asked to wait. Speeches, proclamations, sacrificial ceremonies, etc.
He had been busy for an entire hour, and he didn't start to eat breakfast until mid-morning. At this time, his stomach protested a little, so Mo Yanzhi hurriedly ate two fruits.
At this time, the elder brother outside came to report that Mrs. Chen and Xian Wang were waiting outside the door of the imperial study.
This sacrificial ceremony requires them to participate together.
The virtuous king Tian Yusu participated every year, but Han Tingxuan was only added this year. If it wasn't for his status as the husband of the king, he would not be qualified at all. Even the status of Chen Wang's husband is very reluctant, this still has the glory of the emperor's favor, otherwise, it would not be his turn.
Mo Yanzhi ate two fruits, drank a bowl of bird's nest porridge, and passed away.
"See the emperor, long live my emperor, long live." Han Tingxuan and Tian Yusu saluted together.
"Uncle Huang and Mrs. Chen Wang are welcome." Mo Yanzhi hurriedly said.
Tian Yusu and Han Tingxuan stood up, Mo Yanzhi said: "Are you both ready?"
"Yes, Weichen is ready." The two replied at the same time.
Mo Yanzhi nodded. "It's so good."
At this time, the voice of the waiter outside sounded again. "Concubine Lou is here."
When Lou Yanqing walked in, she first greeted Mo Yanzhi, then Tian Yusu, and finally Prince Chen's husband.
After all, she is only a concubine, and she is incomparable with the empress. Otherwise, he only needs to bow to the emperor and the virtuous king, but Han Tingxuan needs to bow to him in turn.
But he is not the queen, so he is the one who greets Han Tingxuan.
It is precisely because of such joints that when Empress Sun and Mo Yanzhi met for the first time, they would talk about etiquette, but in the end the result was that Mo Yanzhi didn't have to salute when he saw the empress!
It's a pity that Mo Yanzhi's identity no longer exists.
Lou Yanqing is here to report the situation, and everything is ready on his side.
Seeing that it was almost time, a group of people walked outside together.
The place where the sacrificial ceremony is held is in the East Gate Square of the Imperial Palace. There, there is a special sacrificial altar.
And this sacrificial altar is usually guarded by heavy soldiers, because there are statues of emperors of all dynasties on it, as well as the golden dragon representing the will of the people and the will of heaven.
It's just that the golden dragon is spinning and lying on top of the statues of the emperors of the past dynasties.
It represents that the emperors of all dynasties in the celestial dynasty are guarded by golden dragons, and they are the emperors of the celestial dynasty who are chosen by the golden dragon! It represents that the fate of the Celestial Dynasty is guarded by the golden dragon dragon spirit.
There are a total of three hundred and ninety-nine steps on the stone platform.
Lou Yanqing needs to stand on the 399th floor first, then kneel down and wait for the emperor to go up one step at a time.
And this distance needs to be completed by the emperor alone.
During this period of time, all civil and military officials also need to kneel down and wait for the emperor to step up the steps step by step.
On such a big day, civil and military officials, as long as they have an official position, even if they are seriously ill, as long as they are not too immobile, they are required to attend.
Han Tingxuan and Tian Yusu stood at the top of the hundred officials, not because their positions were the highest, but because they were representatives elected by the royal family.
One step behind them were Guan Jinghou and Yonganhou. This Marquis of Yong'an is already very old, counting it, he is the uncle of Tian Yuexi's grandfather, and his status is distinguished.
Moreover, the descendants of Marquis Yong'an are somewhat withered, so it can be said to be a single lineage. It's not like the official waiting quietly, with a big family and a big business. Marquis Yong'an has only one son, but his son also passed away four years ago. There was a grandson, but unfortunately, the grandson died in battle ten years ago. The grandson left behind a boy. That kid is three years older than Tian Yuexi, and he hasn't married his husband yet. It is called Tianyuexin.
You must know that the name "Yue" is not suitable for everyone, only people like Tianyuexi and Tianyueqi can do it. It was because the first emperor was grateful for Yong'anhou's family that he gave the name Tianyuexin.
Behind Guan Jinghou and Yonganhou are the Patriarch Dongfang, Dongfang Xu, Patriarch Nangongjue of Nangong, and Patriarch Sun Luo of the Sun Family.
Behind these three were their son Dongfang Ye, Nangong Qingtian who had rushed back from the border, and Sun Xiucheng. Sun Xiucheng is Sun Qili's father.
After that, Li Su, Prime Minister of the Left, Wang Yi, Senior Minister of the Ministry of War, and Tan Jun, Senior Minister of the Ministry of Industry.
So... ranking according to the official ranks...
As Mo Yanzhi stepped forward, all the ministers lowered their heads.
The solemn sacrificial ceremony, at this moment, can be regarded as the official start...
Mo Yanzhi went up step by step, feeling complicated in his heart.
This is not his position, and he does not want to be in such a position.
However, from the moment Tian Yuexi found him, his life changed.
When they came to Tiancheng, they thought it was the beginning of a new life, and their life would be better. Unexpectedly, he lost his child...
And now... He and his husband have nowhere to go but to move forward!
