Chapter Forty-Six: Double Fortune Sacrifice

Yuchen had some insomnia last night. When she opened her eyes early in the morning, she got up and put on her hunting clothes and ran over to urge her sister to get up. As a result, Yunyun sat listlessly in front of the bronze mirror and dressed up. Her eyes were slightly swollen. She had to apply cold water for a while to heal.

Feeling a little energetic.

Yuchen saw Yun Wan tidying up in a hurry and urged her anxiously. He felt that Xue Qing and Ruoli didn't coordinate well in dressing up, so he actually helped Yun Wan put on her gold hairpin, which made her dumbfounded.

"You're not in a hurry, princess. Why are you in a hurry, young master?" Xue Qing took off the gold hairpin that Yuchen had inserted randomly and helped Yun Wanwan tie her hair into a bun again. It was her first time to participate in such a grand royal ceremony. She knew that Yun Wanwan couldn't be in a hurry.

.

"Sister Wan, please hurry up. I have made an appointment with the fifth prince to practice again." Yuchen looked anxious, he was always afraid that he would make a mistake.

"Chen'er, be more confident. It's no problem. Didn't General Lin praise you yesterday?" Yun Wan comforted. She felt that You Chen was acting coquettishly just so that she could go to Shangjian Zhanglin Garden earlier.

"Okay, sister, hurry up!" Youchen urged after watching Ruoli finish applying rouge to Yun Wan.

"Let's go, let's go." Yun Wan wore her fox fur hat tilted a little to look playful, and her white fox fur cloak and light pink skirt looked like shy cherry blossoms dancing in the snow. Seeing herself in the mirror, Yun Wan looked very glamorous.

Wancai nodded with satisfaction, dragged Yuchen to the carriage and set off quickly.

Today is the lucky month and lucky day, a major festival for the royal family to hunt and worship the sky. Shen Yixiang and his ministers went to Jianzhang Linyuan to worship and pray for auspicious snowfall and a good year. When you arrived at Linyuan, you gathered with the performance team, leaving Yun Wan

Alone, she only waited for the arrival of the royal family. She originally wanted to keep Princess Han Yi company, but Shen Yihan went to Yongyan Hall early in the morning to pay her respects to Princess Xuan.

"Why are you alone?" Shen Yishuo came over leading a tall white horse.

"Youchen went to practice, haven't you seen the third prince?" Yun Wan looked at the beautiful white horse decorated with golden restraints, and took the initiative to step forward and stroke the horse's mane.

"Ze Fenglin is in charge of the performance team today. I'll help him play with his beloved first." Shen Yishuo found out that Yun Wan liked the horse very much, so he teased her.

"Whose true love will be a horse?" Yun Wan was very surprised. The white horse that was close to her suddenly turned its head away, as if it was unhappy.

"You see, this spiritual creature is very connected to human nature." Shen Yishuo patted the white horse's forehead to comfort him.

"Girl White Horse, I was wrong. You are the prettiest and most beautiful." Yun Wan whispered to the white horse, and the horse immediately rubbed Yun Wan's face as if to show off. "No wonder Ze Fenglin regards it as his true love. It's so beautiful."

It’s spiritual!”

"Do you like it?" Shen Yishuo looked at Yun Wan's bright eyes with joy, "Sister Wan, help me take care of it first."

"Okay." Yun Wan happily took the reins of the white horse and walked around. Fortunately, having the white horse as a companion made her feel less lonely.

The auspicious time for the sacrificial ceremony has arrived, and everything is in order. From a distance, you can see Shen Yihan standing next to Concubine Xuan on the stand, Shen Yiyu standing next to the emperor, Shen Yihuan, Shen Yiene and the group.

Chen stood on both sides. Everyone watched the cavalry and archery team slowly enter the field. The sound of horse hooves accompanied by the melodious guqin was very ethereal.

The performance team was lined up in a human shape, and the one in the middle was the fifth prince Shen Yichen, and Yuchen was located behind Shen Yichen, which was also a more conspicuous position. Yun Wan watched Youchen in the crowd and felt very pleased, because she

I found that my brother looked a bit like a general when he was wearing armor. Every movement of holding the reins, supporting him, holding his skills, and shooting arrows was very smooth.

The team uniformly turned their horses around and shot arrows at the fast rabbits that had just been released from the cage in the distance. The sound of the drums became more and more urgent as the bows and arrows were shot. The sound struck the heartstrings, and the gray rabbits fell to the snow one after another.

The ancestors of the Zhou Dynasty were once nomadic people on the grassland, and they ruled the world on horseback. In order to worship their ancestors and not forget the achievements of their ancestors in conquering the world, they established this festival to worship the gods of heaven and earth, and to ensure that the auspicious snow in the Zhou Dynasty heralds a good harvest. The gods will fly.

In this generation, he required that every time he worshiped his ancestors, heirs of the royal family should participate in the performance to prove his sincerity.

Shen Yiyu only participated once as the prince, and Shen Yichen was weak since he was a child. The prince who participated in the ancestor worship ceremony was always Shen Yishuo. It was not until Shen Yichen grew up that Shen Yishuo stepped aside to provide guidance.

.And the ritual of riding and hunting has changed a lot over the years, from the original fierce beasts like lions and tigers to the docile rabbits, but it was just a symbol.

"Hey~" The screams of the horses attracted everyone's attention, and only one person was seen galloping out of the performance team. When everyone thought it was some special performance and were looking at it, Yun Wan discovered that the horse was frightened.

And the galloping horse was sitting on Yuchen. As a sister, she didn't even think about it. She stepped on the stirrups and climbed onto the white horse beside her, and ran straight towards Yuchen. Because the skirt was narrow, the saddle was not suitable for sitting on it.

It was very stable, so Yun Wan could only hold the reins tightly in her hands, fearing that she would accidentally fall off the horse and fall into trouble without saving Yu Chen.
