Chapter 922 Keys and Locks(1/2)
Nan Yan frowned and looked at the alien birthmark.
After a long time, she let out a long sigh.
But when she let out this breath, she did not relax, but as if she had made up for something in her heart. She reached out and gently held Xiaoxinping's chubby little hand.
"It's okay, it's okay."
She murmured, as if she said it to the child or as if she said it to herself.
"It's definitely nothing."
Because King Ning's residence was originally between Peking and Tianjin, the emperor's imperial guards walked north for about half an hour before they arrived in Beiping City.
From afar, I saw the outline of Peking City on the vast snowy field.
Nanyan lifted the curtain and looked ahead.
When I left, it was not as large as this size. Now it seems that Beiping City is more than twice as big as I had seen before. It is like a lion lying on the snow field. It is frightening to look at it from a distance.
Peiping used to be just a border town, but now as the capital, it should have such momentum.
Perhaps it was this powerful spirit that gave Nanyan some strength.
Her heart also calmed down a little.
He lowered his head and hugged the excited one in his arms, kept flapping his head out of the window, and said softly: "We will definitely be able to pass this level."
Under the gate of Peking City, all the officials who had previously performed official duties here and those who later moved to the north gathered here, and the show was even bigger than the show that Ning Wang had taken over in Tianjin City before.
On the city and under the city, colorful flags flutter, guards lined up, and they were scattered and fierce.
Some foreign envoys are here too.
Nanyan saw one of the flags belonging to the country at a glance.
People from the country, they are here too!?
Who is coming?
Of course, Monk is impossible to come as the king of a country; and judging from some information I received before, a delicate balance and competitive relationship has been formed between Monk and Arislan.
At such an important moment, Arislan should not dare to leave the border.
Unfortunately, I am too far away now and there are too many people, so I really can't see clearly.
Nan Yan thought for a while and shouted to the outside through the curtain: "Ye Zheng."
After a while, Ye Zheng rode his horse and followed.
"What are the instructions of the Empress?"
Nan Yan said, "Go and ask, among the envoys from various countries who moved the capital to celebrate this time, the emperor sent the envoys from all over the country."
"yes."
Ye Zheng agreed, and the sound of horse hooves flying forward immediately came from outside.
After a while, the imperial guard stopped in front of the city gate.
Nanyan heard the sound of long live the mountain outside, so naturally Zhufeng got out the gold cart and accepted worship from his ministers and the people.
After the worship was completed, the ministers and the people followed the imperial guards into the city gate and continued to move forward.
The one who went to the Great Sacred Altar in the south of the city. Halfway through the way, Ye Zheng's horse hooves sounded again, and he returned to Nanyan's car.
He whispered outside the window: "The Imperial Concubine, I found out that the envoy sent by the country this time was an important minister named Mandu."
"Master Mandu?"
Nan Yan frowned, and that familiar face immediately appeared in his mind.
This man was the man who almost became Princess Tana's husband.
This time the country asked him to serve as an envoy...
Nanyan took a deeper breath.
After Ye Zheng outside reported the report, he saw that there was no movement inside for a long time and asked softly: "Empress, is there anything wrong with it?"
"It's nothing." Nan Yan thought for a while, and said, "Let me stare at him a little."
"yes."
Ye Zheng immediately passed the message.
Around the horse's hooves.
Nanyan listened to the snatching sounds made by the wheels hitting the brand new ground and the dense sounds of horse hooves, and her heartbeat gradually became rapid. Although she kept telling herself to calm down, she saw the altar in front of her.
Who can calm down?
Finally, their carriage was parked outside the sacred altar.
Many ordinary people have gathered here to watch the ceremony. When they saw the emperor's golden car stop, everyone knelt on the ground and shouted long live the mountain.
Zhu Feng walked out of the golden car.
He was wearing a bright yellow robe, roaring in the wind.
The wind here is much colder than before, probably because there are no too high buildings around here that cannot resist the bitter cold wind, but he does not feel cold at all.
Especially when I saw the avenue under my feet, the bluestone slabs were paved flat and spacious, leading directly to the front.
There is the outer world.
From a distance, you can see the winding corridor leading to the Wuliang Hall of Zhai Palace, and on the other side there are the Shenle Office and a large area of connected rooms.
And behind this building, you can vaguely see several towering halls standing.
In the distance, the glazed green tiles on the top of the hall shine brightly in the sun.
Those are the three halls of the Great Sage Altar.
They are the main halls that worship the spiritual positions of ancestors of all dynasties, and the jade plates placed by members of the royal family, as well as two partial halls that are dedicated to resting for members of the royal family who come to worship.
And behind these three halls is the sacrificial altar.
There are some other buildings around, and Zhu Feng has only simply read the drawings. Today, all this has been truly presented to him for the first time.
He took a deep breath and said, "Let's go."
"yes."
The guards on both sides immediately came forward and helped him and the queen get out of the golden cart. The concubines behind them also got off the cart one after another.
The officials on both sides led the way and they walked forward slowly.
After a while, he walked to the main hall where the ancestors worshipped the spiritual positions.
However, because today we have to sacrifice to heaven and earth, we cannot be busy coming to worship our ancestors. We can only wait until we go to the altar and worship the heaven and earth before coming.
Zhu Feng took a simple look and asked everyone to go to the side hall on the other side.
After all, we set out from the other hall of Ning Wang early in the morning, and along the way, we were also a little bumpy. We had to rest here and cultivate our energy so that we would not make any mistakes in the sacrifices that we would be in the time of a while.
Zhu Feng himself went to Huangqian Palace.
Of course, you have to change into clothes specially used for sacrifices, and you also have to confirm with the ritual officer all the steps for sacrifices today.
Such a big thing, no mistake can be made.
Nanyan followed the queen and other concubines to rest in the side hall.
But, after a while, she got up and walked out.
Xiao Shunzi, who was serving at the door, whispered: "Where are the Imperial Concubine going?"
Nan Yan said: "The hall is a little boring, I want to go out for a walk."
"Empress, please be careful. Now the time is almost over. Don't miss the time for sacrifice."
"I know."
Nanyan nodded, left the side hall, and walked forward along the corridor.
After a while, we arrived at another hall.
This is where the royal family tree is placed and the jade plates of the royal family members are placed.
As soon as he reached the door, the guards here came forward: "Imperial Concubine? Pay a visit to the Imperial Concubine."
Nan Yan raised his hand calmly: "Get up."
The guards stood up and said with some confusion: "Imperial Concubine, the emperor will be there for sacrifices later. Shouldn't the Imperial Concubine rest in the side hall with the Queen and the others? Why did they come here?"
"Oh, I come and have a look."
"this"
They hesitated for a moment.
Although the imperial concubine was going to come in here to see, there was nothing wrong with the rules. However, there was no message from the above saying that she would allow her to enter, which made these guards a little embarrassed.
Nan Yan glanced at them and said with a smile: "You are not going to stop me, are you?"
To be continued...
