She came to Huang Hengxi's side and bowed respectfully: "Miss Huang, the Empress invites you to attend the ceremony with the Grand Emperor's grandson."
Huang Hengxi showed a decent smile and stood up: "Yes!"
Everyone looked at Huang Hengxi when they heard this, and they would be lying if they said they were not envious.
No matter how rich or noble you are, you are still not as good as the royal family!
Huang Hengxi raised his chin slightly, followed behind the queen's eldest maid, moved her lotus steps lightly, and walked over gracefully.
The wife of the Minister of Industry finally smiled: This is right!
Huang Hengxi walked towards the eldest emperor's grandson. When passing by Nuan Nuan, she raised her chin slightly, straightened her waist and walked over without squinting.
warmth:"???"
Nalan Jinnian glanced at Huang Hengxi, his ice eyes flashing sharply.
He quietly stretched out his little finger and hooked the warm finger, playing with it.
Nuan Nuan didn't dare to withdraw his hand, but turned to glare at him.
Nalan Jinnian stared straight ahead expressionlessly.
warmth:"… "
Pack!
At this time, a bright yellow figure came out of the altar.
The auspicious time has come, and the emperor finally finished reciting the scriptures and came out of the palace to lead the ministers in the ceremony.
Because the queen was still the queen and was not deposed, she immediately walked to the emperor's side, and the two of them climbed onto the altar together.
Why is Concubine Li so proud
This concubine is not qualified to go to the altar to worship. She will never have such an opportunity and honor in this life!
Concubine Li also felt a little upset when she looked at the figure of the emperor and empress.
As soon as the emperor came out, he saw Huang Hengxi next to the eldest emperor's grandson.
He didn't say anything, just pretended he didn't see it.
The emperor touched the dragon robe on his body and felt cool!
He glanced at the phoenix robe on the Queen Mother's body again, and then at the sun in the sky: To show sincerity, this year's Dragon Boat Festival ceremony should be longer!
The emperor glanced at Qin Tianjian: "The Duanyang Festival can begin! It's sunny and sunny today, so let's hold it as a grand festival once every ten years!"
"Yes! Your Majesty is so pious, Nalan Kingdom will definitely have good weather in the second half of the year!"
The emperor nodded, and then Qin Tianjian announced loudly: "The ceremony begins! Kneel down!"
Everyone started to kneel down.
…
The ceremony is complicated, and kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times is not a small part of it.
The summer sun can bake people to death early in the morning! The ladies and noble ladies all wore heavy palace clothes, and they all got extremely hot very quickly!
As a member of the royal family, the number of knots is even more than that of ordinary married women.
Huang Hengxi's knees hurt as he knelt, and his eyes turned black due to the sun.
At this time she felt a little regretful!
The place where she was standing just now was shaded, so she couldn't get any sunlight.
Now, I’m totally tanned!
As time goes by, the ground is heated by the sun!
Huang Hengxi knelt on the ground and felt that his knees were being cooked.
My whole body was covered in sweat and my makeup was all gone.
It's like an ice sculpture under the hot sun - it's about to melt!
She couldn't help but steal a glance at the refreshing face in front of her, and the warmth on her face without a drop of sweat.
The girl's face under the sun still looked as if she had just gotten up in the morning and put on makeup.
She was kneeling there, her waist straight, her posture calm, her face stunning, and she was simply more dazzling than the sun in the sky!
Huang Hengxi: "..."
Princess Hui'an, how did she do it!
Why doesn't it look hot at all
The warmth is indeed not hot. She is wearing ice silk material. Even under the scorching sun, the clothes on her body are cool, so it is not hot at all.
Her knees were also tied with thick kneepads, so it didn't hurt when she knelt.
Besides, what kind of dire days has she not experienced? So this point of kneeling three times and knocking nine times is nothing.
But not everyone has ice silk to wear! Many ladies and ladies under the sun are similar to Huang Hengxi!
The ministers and princes were also so hot that their clothes felt like they were soaked in water.
The queen, the eldest princess and others were also complaining in their hearts.
Their palace clothes should be thicker, okay
The Dragon Boat Festival has never been so grand before! Why did it take so long this time
It's almost noon!
The emperor glanced at everyone with a refreshed look, sneered in his heart, and then glanced at the scorching sun in the sky. The sun should be more intense!
After a while, Qin Tianjian said: "The ceremony is completed!"
Everyone was relieved!
It’s finally almost over!
The last step is Mulan Tang.
Taking a bath in Mulan Decoction on Dragon Boat Festival can cure diseases and expel evil spirits.
One by one, the maids in pink palace clothes came out holding a golden basin.
The golden basin sparkled in the sun.
The royal family used gold basins, while the ministers and wives used copper basins.
In the past, Mulan Tang was only available to members of the royal family, but this time the emperor also prepared it for ministers.
The maids walked up to everyone, and blessed everyone with neat movements. Then they held the golden basin in one hand, picked up the orchid branch in the basin with the other hand, and gently sprinkled a little Mulan soup on everyone.
Then the basin was slightly raised for everyone to clean their hands.
In this way, the Dragon Boat Festival festival is over!
Finally no need to bask in the sun anymore!
Everyone took out their handkerchiefs and wiped the sweat from their faces. No one made fun of anyone, because everyone looked embarrassed.
They must go back to their house, wash a bowl of Mulan soup, and lie down in the room with an ice basin to relax!
It’s just that everyone thinks too wonderfully, but the reality is much hotter!
because! Because the emperor wants to race the dragon boat in person!
They need to move to another place to continue drying!
The emperor looked at everyone's relief and said with dignity: "The next step is the dragon boat race. This year I will race the dragon boat myself."
Everyone wiped their sweat for a moment.
What
The emperor personally races dragon boats
So should they go and see it or not
If you don't go, will the emperor hold a grudge
Everyone raised their heads and glanced at the scorching sun in the sky.
born! none! Can! love!
Nuan Nuan looked at everyone and almost laughed!
The emperor is so bad!
The emperor's decision to personally handle this matter was naturally not impromptu. After all, arrangements had to be made in advance.
It's just that very few people know about it, only the officials from the Ministry of Rites who are responsible for preparations for the dragon boat race.
The emperor looked at the princes: "You should also participate! Whoever wins will be rewarded heavily~"
Several princes: "......"
The eldest prince's eyes flashed and he glanced in the direction of General Guo.
General Guo blinked twice.

Naturally, the dragon boat race cannot be held in the moat, but must be held in the Qinglong River outside the city.
So the emperor took a group of ministers with tears in their hearts and headed for the Qinglong River in the scorching sun.
There are already golden dragon-shaped long boats parked on the Qinglong River.
This kind of dragon boat is called dragon boat by the common people.
There were many people watching on the shore. In the morning, the people had finished pulling the dragon boat.
The people of the entire Nalan Kingdom attach great importance to the dragon boat.
Because they believe that the dragon is a divine beast in the sky that can drive away all evil things.
If you ride the dragon boat during the Dragon Boat Festival, the river will be clean!
Therefore, the village chiefs of each village will organize villagers to play dragon boats.
The government will provide dragon boats to the people.
In the past, during the Dragon Boat Festival, after noon, the folk dragon boat races had basically ended, and calm returned to both sides of the Qinglong River.
This year, because the emperor himself was racing dragon boats, both sides of the Qinglong River were still bustling with activity in the afternoon.
Guarded by officers and soldiers, people waited outside the restricted area to watch the fun!
