"He said, I got it."

“…”

This simple answer surprised me a little. I was quiet for a while, guessing the expression and tone of Pei Yuanhao when he said this.

Miaoyan pinched my clothes and shook it gently: "Mom, will something happen?"

“…”

I thought quietly for a while, then looked down at her big flashing eyes, and then smiled and said, "Since your father said he knew, that's what he knew."

“…”

"Don't worry, your father can handle anything."

"Really?"

"Of course, he is the emperor."

When I heard me say this, it was like I was guaranteed. Miaoyan nodded, and I felt that she had relaxed a little, and said, "I understand."

I smiled and fiddled with her hair. At this moment, the sound of knocking three times came from outside. I said, "Okay, it's too late. If you don't sleep, you won't get up tomorrow morning. Don't forget that you are going to worship the imperial tomb tomorrow. This is the first time you have been to worship the ancestors of your Pei family. You can't yawn."

"I know."

As she said this, she still hugged my waist, but because she let go of some things in her heart, she calmed down a lot. After a while, she felt her hand slowly relaxing. After a while, her even and calm breathing sounded in her ears.

She fell asleep.

And my heartbeat became a little unstable when listening to her long breathing.

It seems that Qinghan is right. This time, when we come to the imperial tomb, there will be some things to happen, regardless of whether we want it or not.

Many things appeared in my mind in a daze. I was a little confused. I was a little confused. When the tranquility outside was gradually broken by the footsteps of the attendants, I opened my eyes and was about to wake up in my arms. She yawned: "Mom, it's early."

"It's getting late."

I smiled and said, "It's almost time."

"Ah?" When she heard this, a carp jumped up from the bed with a thrust: "It's too late."

In fact, it was not too late, but everyone knew the importance of sacrifice, so I didn't neglect it. I got up immediately. A maid came in to serve us after washing. Today I specially put on a grand dress. I couldn't be included in the official sacrifice staff, but I also prepared very solemn clothes. After dressing neatly, it was already time for me.

When we walked out of the room, we were greeted by someone. It was not dawn at this time, and the maids on both sides were dressed in exquisite clothes and walked in front of them with lanterns, leading us to the side door of the palace. From a distance, we saw that the main entrance of the palace had been waiting for a long time. Unlike the convoy we came, this was an imperial chariot specially used for the emperor's sacrifices. We first took other carriages to the imperial tomb.

Because of the long-awaited relationship, there was no one on the street. The carriage walked very quickly. After walking for a while, I lifted the curtain and realized that I was not on the road I came from yesterday, but on another road. After a while, I saw the imperial tomb. We had reached the end of the long shrine. As soon as we got off the carriage, we saw the tall altar at the foot of the mountain. The tombs here had been lined up and stood neatly behind the altar.

I took Miaoyan to the altar, and when I turned my head, I saw the long shrine standing in line on both sides of the imperial guards, holding a long halberd in my hands and wearing armor, majestic and majestic.

I subconsciously raised my head again and looked around the imperial tomb.

It was light and the surrounding mountains were steep, so I couldn't see clearly, but I could still vaguely see the guards standing around.

It seems that some have been removed.

According to the old examples of Pei Yuanhao's tour, the number of guards should not be the only one.

Of course, this place is an imperial tomb, with more than 10,000 imperial tomb guards and thousands of magistrates. It is not that easy to do anything in this place, but now the current situation is in turmoil and turbulent times, and Pei Yuanhao cannot withstand any surprises.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but frown slightly.

And at this moment, a bell rang out from the distant mountain tomb.

There were towering mountain walls around them, and the bells came slowly and echoed among the mountains, with a particularly shocking feeling. Everyone was shocked with the sound of the bell. Looking back, at the other end of the long shrine, more than twenty Rishengs were wearing various dresses, holding rice, bowls, stone axes and other objects in their hands, and walked towards this side step by step. Behind them, the emperor's chariot slowly sailed onto the shrine.

Suddenly, everyone became quiet.

The sound of bells and drums immediately rang behind the shrine on both sides. It was the ritual music used by the sacrifices. The ritual students walked slowly on the shrine with solemn steps as the rhythm of the music. This journey was very long, and the ritual music was neither too fast nor too slow, as if it was playing with the rising sun. I was not standing by myself, but I was afraid that Miaoyan would be impatient to do anything irregular. But when I looked down, she was more solemn than ever. Her little face was full of serious expression, and she stood there quietly, without even the corners of her clothes being messed up.

It seems that she also knows that this sacrifice is important.

I feel relieved.

Time passed quickly. When their team reached the main entrance of the mausoleum, the long music ended. At this time, almost half an hour had passed.

The two sacrificial ministers immediately stepped forward and greeted the emperor from the imperial chariot.

Only then did I see that Pei Yuanhao was wearing a grand dress and neatly crowned, which looked very different from what he was in the court on weekdays. A heavy aura as he stood still and pressed down. I vaguely heard the people around him holding their breath, and even Miaoyan looked at him with shock.

At this time, two teams ran out from both sides, the Imperial Mausoleum Guards, holding various colorful flags in their hands, walked up with the rituals, and surrounded the altar for a while, standing in line, waiting quietly.

Although I have never participated in the sacrifices of the imperial tomb before, I have seen many sacrifices in the book. I can see at a glance that this ceremony is a ceremony for the exhibition.

This is a relatively simple sacrifice in the imperial tomb sacrifice, because today was not a big day, and Pei Yuanhao also rushed here this time, so there must be no more preparations here. It is already very difficult for Zhang Gongji to arrange the place so strictly.

At this time, it was already dawn.

Then I saw that on the other side of the altar, there were also Linghu standing neatly like Linghu on this side. On the other side near the altar, Pei Ningyuan and Qinghan, and other accompanying people were standing.

Just at this moment, Qinghan also turned his head and looked at me.

I nodded gently.

There was not much expression on his face, and he even showed a look of sadness. I knew that no matter how other things bothered him, today was the day when the concubine's coffin was sent to the imperial tomb, and he would still feel very sad. He just nodded at me and turned around.

At this time, Pei Yuanhao, accompanied by two sacrificial ministers, walked past the main entrance of the tomb. The rituals and music started again. He slowly walked up and climbed the altar step by step.

The one who was accompanying him was the worshiper Zhang Gongji. He took the three animals of pigs, cattle and sheep from the Si Cheng next to him, and gave them to Pei Yuanhao one by one. After Pei Yuanhao took it, he raised his head high and then slowly placed it on the table in front of him.

At this moment, a heavy bell came from the mountain mausoleum.

Zhang Gongji immediately said: "The auspicious time is coming, open the tomb!"

Immediately, we heard a heavy sound coming from the northeast of the imperial tomb, a very distant place.

It should be the sound of opening the mausoleum.

The northeast of the imperial tomb has always been a place to bury concubines. Pei Yuanhao sent the coffin of Concubine Zhao there, so he was naturally buried with courtesy.

At this time, I felt a figure shaking slightly on the other side of the altar. When I turned around, I saw that it was Pei Ningyuan. His face was pale. At this time, it seemed that he was already a little unsteady. Qinghan beside me immediately reached out to support him, as if he was still whispering a few words in his ear to calm him down. Pei Ningyuan nodded and held on.

Qinghan reached out and patted his shoulder gently.

After a long time, the coffin of the concubine was finally sent to the tomb steadily. A long bell sounded from the mountain tomb. At this time, the Si Cheng presented the three priests of wine. Pei Yuanhao took one of them. After the sacrifice, Zhang Gongji shouted: "Kneel!"

Immediately, he knelt on the bedside.

The people standing under the altar also knelt down one after another. With Zhang Gongji's "Bow", everyone bowed to the imperial tomb.

"rise!"

Everyone stood up one after another, and then offered sacrifices to the second and third lords. Everyone followed the third lords and bowed in an orderly manner. After the sacrifice, Pei Yuanhao stepped aside, and everyone began to mourn.

At this time, the sun had risen to the sky.

The hot temperature made me feel a little dizzy. I almost didn't sleep well last night. At this time, the problem arose. I felt sweat coming from my forehead, but I still clenched my fists hard to make myself more awake.

I know that the ceremony of the ceremony will end here.

Waiting for the mourning to be completed, Pei Yuanhao was about to follow Zhang Gongji's sacrifice. There were two sacrificial ministers who left the original path and left the tomb, so we could all disperse.

However, just as we were finished mourning, I saw Pei Yuanhao on the altar saying to Zhang Gongji: "Let those magistrates and others, please retreat."

“…!”

I was slightly stunned and looked up at him.

On the altar, he seemed particularly calm and serious, with a sense of oppression that people could not look up. I lowered my head, wondering, would he want us all to retreat and stay here?

What to do?

I was wondering, Zhang Gongji had already come down to pass the order. Although the magistrates and the rituals were a little confused, the emperor's orders naturally followed them, and they all faded away. Then the other imperial guards lined up and retreated in an order.

I looked up at the other side of the altar. Pei Ningyuan and Qinghan were obviously a little surprised, and they all looked at Pei Yuanhao with a look of surprise on their faces. At this moment, Zhang Gongji walked over and said a few words to them. Pei Ningyuan nodded without saying much, while Qinghan's face showed an increasingly confusing expression. He asked something with a frown on his eyebrows. Zhang Gongji only waved his hand and did not answer him, so he walked towards us.

When he walked up to us, I immediately said, "Mr. Zhang——"

Zhang Gongji bowed respectfully to me: "Miss Yan, don't be surprised."

"What?"

"Yesterday, it was a mistake in the official's tongue."

"……What?"

I looked at him in confusion, and Miaoyan next to me also opened his eyes and looked at the sacrificial master. Zhang Gongji said: "The emperor has an order. For the next sacrifice, Miss Yan, as the mother of His Highness, still stayed here with His Highness, and raised her to mourn."

“…”

I was stunned for a moment: "There is another sacrifice?"

"Yes."

"Just, have you been worshipped just now? This sacrifice is-"

Zhang Gongji smiled and said, "Ms. Yan has also seen the world, so naturally she would not do anything at this time. I won't say much."

After saying that, he turned around and retreated without waiting for me to ask.

I stayed where I was-

What does it mean?

Pei Ningyuan and Qinghan on the other side also seemed very puzzled, but they all knew very well that this place was an imperial tomb, and Pei Yuanhao's sacrifice was definitely not a trivial matter. Therefore, although everyone was confused, they did not have to ask for a question at this time.

Everyone stood there and heard the music in the distance ringing again.

At this time, Pei Yuanhao walked up and picked up another jue sacrificial wine from the sacrificial table on the other side.

However, this time, he did not worship the mountain tomb in front of him, but turned around and raised the priest priest priest priest in the other direction, then tilted his hand slightly, and the clear priest priest slowly spread on the altar.

This time, there was no ritual officer next to him, so he took a step forward and slowly knelt down.

Although we all don’t understand what he is doing, we also followed his rhythm, kneeled down, bowed, and then stood up.

He only offered this honor to offer wine.

However, I clearly saw the expression on his face at this moment, even more solemn than when he just worshipped the imperial tomb and sent the coffin of the concubine into the tomb.

At this moment, a light of inspiration suddenly flashed in my heart. Last night, Lao Ji's words rang in my mind.

Pei Yuanhao worshipped this time not the imperial tomb.

Who is it?

Or, who is he worshiping?

Could it be that there is something else to say that the imperial tomb is placed here? As Lao Ji said, is it necessary to suppress evil spirits?

Therefore, after he sacrificed the imperial tomb, he even wanted to offer another rank of wine?
