Phoenix wakes up and returns to one

The place of worship surrounds the royal city, and there is an altar in the east, west, north, south, and north. The Taishi divination will tell you the direction of the place where you will go abroad, and then determine the specific time for the sacrifice.

This year, the direction of worship is the altar facing east, and the time is the seventh day of May as mentioned before.On the first day of Guofeng's trip, he went to the palace, ate vegetarian food, purified himself and chanted scriptures. On the second day, he went from the foot of the sacrificial platform to the top of the mountain with a kowtow and a total of 99 steps.On the third day, Taishi divination and seeking hexagrams, praying for the prosperity of the country and the people, the good weather, sending the emperor to the gods, and watching the burning sacrifices.Return to the palace on the fourth day.

On the early morning of the seventh day of May, the continuous drizzle of the past few days finally stopped, and the sky was blue. The rising sun was hidden behind a certain palace in the east, exuding a reddish-yellow color, rendering half of the sky.

On the outer court outside the Hui'an Hall, there are hundreds of civil and military officials standing on both sides, standing respectfully and solemnly in official uniforms. There are men and women, which is a characteristic.

Lian'er came out of Hui'an Hall and said loudly: "Your Majesty is here—"

Layer after layer of attendants circulated on both sides, "Your Majesty is here—"

"Your Majesty is here—"

Feng Feixi, wearing sacrificial attire, came out of Hui'an Hall wearing a crown on his head. The sacrificial attire was dark black. Unlike the royal robe, the chest was not a phoenix bathing in fire, but a sacrificial totem: a phoenix flying in the clouds.It means good weather.

"See Your Majesty!"

All the officials knelt down and saluted loudly and solemnly, and the sound echoed above the outer court, with a majestic aura of its own.At this moment, every official has a feeling of pride, pride for himself and the country.

Feng Feixi looked at the crowd with a solemn face, and raised his hands slightly, "Everyone is at peace."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Feng Chang, who was standing at the gate of the Hui'an Hall and waiting for Feng Feixi to come out, now came to Feng Feixi respectfully with a gold and jade plate, and bent over to present it.The gold and jade plate is filled with clear water, and willow branches and leaves are immersed in it.

"Your Majesty, please wash your hands." Feng Chang respectfully said.

After Feng Feixi cleaned his hands, Feng Chang stepped back with the gold and jade plate, took the sandalwood prepared by the attendant, and held the high end in front of Feng Feixi again. "Your Majesty, please offer incense."

Feng Feixi took the sandalwood with both hands, like a child's wrist-sized sandalwood exuding a faint fragrance, the moment Feng Feixi took it, Tai Le, who was beside him, said loudly: "Zao Yue -"

The court musicians who had already prepared played the solemn sacrificial music. Feng Feixi held the sandalwood in both hands and bowed three times towards the sky, then walked down the steps step by step holding the sandalwood high, towards the nine-eyed cauldron in the center of the outer court.

Ji Guhua stood among the officials and watched this scene, feeling a sense of belonging and shock in his heart.Although she is the Azure Dragon Princess, she has no right to participate in such occasions as the Azure Dragon Festival.

Whenever Qinglong offered sacrifices to the heavens, what Ji Guhua knew was only the news delivered by his attendants, such as His Majesty's offering incense, and His Majesty's sedan chair. When he was young, he was curious, but later he just smiled.

Seeing it with his own eyes at this moment, Ji Guhua's spontaneous solemnity and shock suddenly raised a bit of pride.Although she is not a member of Suzaku, but these days in Suzaku, she has a more sense of belonging than in Qinglong.

And Feng Feixi who was present was her beloved.

Feng Feixi held up the incense and stood in front of the Nine-Eyed Cauldron, and Feng Chang stepped forward to read the Zhu Wen, after the Zhu Wen finished reading, Feng Feixi put the incense in his hand into the incense cauldron, and Feng Chang said loudly: "After the ceremony, Yu Xing-"

The palace ceremonial team led four tall steeds from both sides in front, followed by the palace music team, playing and percussing the sacrificial music all the way, followed by eight generals and eight civil servants, and then Feng Feixi, Then follow the hundred officials.

Ji Guhua followed among the officials, and heard the majestic and majestic playing of the palace music in front of him. From the corner of his eye, he saw the attendants on both sides knelt down on the ground, and the mighty ranks made people awe-inspiring.

After leaving the palace, the guards were cut down, and the accompanying officials stood respectfully behind the phoenix chariot. Feng Feixi's gestures were full of majesty and solemnity, without any expression, as meticulous as a god descending to earth.

The phoenix chariot was not fully enclosed, between the beaded curtains and veils, one could faintly see Feng Feixi sitting upright motionless, looking ahead.Feng Chang stood on the side of the phoenix chariot, and said loudly: "The sedan chair—"

When the first four steeds appeared in front of the common people, the common people who had stood guard on both sides knelt down like a tide, and the sound of "Long Live Your Majesty" surged like a sea wave.

The soldiers on both sides of the official road surrounded the two floors, for fear that the excited people would break through the defense and disturb the Holy Majesty.

Feng Feixi didn't blink her eyes, she looked ahead silently, although she could see the people kneeling down from the corner of her eye, she didn't say a word.

The common people were afraid of disturbing Feng Feixi, and there was no other voice except for "Long Live Your Majesty". They felt extremely happy about Feng Feixi's indifference.

During the many years of sacrifices, there has never been a situation where the monarch speaks, because it is said in ancient times that when the monarch burns incense in the palace, he brings the blessings of his ancestors. The blessings turn into purple air and coil in the monarch's chest. It will be taboo.

So the people were all happy for Feng Feixi's silence, and kowtowed respectfully.

Walking out of the palace from the palace, there is a small sedan chair waiting for you.After being sent off by the common people, they finally went out to the royal city. The civil servants all boarded sedan chairs, and the military officials all rode white horses, and followed Feng Feixi's phoenix chariot to the palace.

Ji Guhua breathed a sigh of relief after getting into the sedan chair. Although it was very solemn, Ji Guhua also felt very tiring under such heavy pressure.She lifted the door curtain of the sedan chair slightly, and vaguely saw Feng Feixi sitting in the phoenix chariot, still standing straight and motionless.

On weekdays, Feng Feixi would sit casually even when going to court, sometimes half-lying and sometimes propping her forehead, but today she was respectful throughout the whole process, her movements were as natural as flowing clouds and flowing water, without any mistakes.

These things that go deep into the bone marrow, no matter how casual she is on weekdays, she will never forget them.Ji Guhua was thinking wildly, but worried whether she would be able to bear it.

Last night, Feng Feixi read the memorial and saw Yinshi before taking a break, Ji Guhua accompanied him even while reading and felt tired, and today she worked so hard, I am afraid that after the end of the national service, she will lose a lot of weight.

At noon, the ceremonial team finally arrived at the palace, and Tai Bu had already arrived at the palace one step ahead, standing in front of the palace.Feng Feixi got off the sedan chair and walked in front of him, he threw down the tortoise shell in his hand, he observed its texture, and then said respectfully: "Please move to the Imperial Palace, Your Majesty."

Tai Bu leads the way, and Feng Feixi then goes to the Taimiao Palace.This trip can only be done by Feng Feixi and Tai Bu. After everyone sent Feng Feixi away respectfully, they finally relaxed completely.

There were attendants who came to guide the officials to wait in the side hall. When Feng Miye passed by Ji Guhua, he suddenly whispered in her ear: "How about Mr. Ji living in the palace?"

Ji Guhua frowned slightly, and looked at Feng Miye, Feng Miye smiled very handsomely, but there was a lot of haze in his eyes, "I hope that after tonight, Lord Ji can still say that the young master is the first, and the Qinglong princess is the last. "

Ji Guhua's heart skipped a beat, and he said: "Please forgive me for not understanding what the prince said, please speak clearly."

"If I were the Qinglong Monarch, raising such a big princess and forgetting about my own country, I'm afraid I'd be strangled to death when I was born." Feng Miye laughed a few times, and then walked quickly into the side hall among.

At the moment, Gu Hua's heart beat violently, and she had some sort of premonition.

When Feng Feixi came out of the Taimiao Palace, everyone was already dizzy with hunger, but no one dared to leave without authorization.Seeing Feng Feixi's appearance, everyone saluted, "Join Your Majesty."

"No, all the gentlemen, go back to the palace to rest." Feng Feixi waved everyone to disperse, and Ji Guhua was the last one, looking at Feng Feixi with some concern.

Feng Feixi smiled at her and said, "Master Ji, stay and have dinner with Gu."

Feng Miye suddenly looked back at the front and saw the scene where Ji Guhua stayed behind. He twitched the corner of his mouth coldly, and then left.

Feng Feixi returned to his palace, waved away all the followers, and then the indifference and majesty on his face slowly faded, showing the fatigue between his brows, "Every time the state is enshrined, it is a kind of torture."

She went to the low couch and sat down, leaning back lazily, Ji Guhua then sat beside him and asked, "Is there any discomfort, Your Majesty?"

"I'm tired." Feng Feixi leaned against the low couch limply, and she turned over, "Help me to beat, Shen Shi still has to chant scriptures and sit for another two hours."

Ji Guhua obediently kneaded her waist, and said: "Your Majesty is usually not in good shape, so you will definitely feel uncomfortable when you sit upright." If Ji Guhua was allowed to sit upright like Feng Feixi for a long time, she wouldn't Tired like Feng Feixi.

"Guo Feng comes once every three years, so Gu will work hard for three days. If he sits upright on weekdays, then Gu will work hard for the rest of his life. Why bother?" Feng Feixi asked back with a smile.

Ji Guhua shook his head helplessly, "If your majesty's words are heard by the ceremony officer, I'm afraid he will die of anger."

"She...has really died of loneliness a long time ago." Feng Feixi smiled and said: "She also knows that Gu is like this, so she puts all her energy on Qian'an. An said: "Your Majesty is good in everything, but the sitting posture is never correct. The queen mother can't learn from Your Majesty in the future." Gu couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it."

Gu Hua pursed her lips and smiled lightly, and within a short while, the meal was served.

After the two had dinner, Ji Guhua went back to his palace, while Feng Feixi rested for a while.

As soon as Shenshi arrived, his own attendants invited all the ministers to the outside of the palace of the Taimiao one by one.Feng Feixi had already sat down cross-legged inside, holding scriptures in her hands, and an incense burner was placed in front of her, with sandalwood burning on it, emitting a faint fragrance.

"Weichen see Your Majesty."

"waived."

Since the maid came forward and brushed the water droplets with willow branches to sweep over the courtiers, the courtiers sat cross-legged on the futon, sitting upright respectfully.

Tai Shi pinched his fingers and said to Feng Feixi, "Your Majesty, the time has come."

Feng Feixi nodded, and then read the scriptures in his hand.

Feng Feixi's voice was cold and indifferent, not as charming as usual. Her voice was not loud, and she couldn't hear what she was thinking from Ji Guhua's position, but she could see her solemn expression.

Her voice was as cool as freshly tapped water from a well in summer, smelling the scent of sandalwood, she could only feel that the heart of the mortal world was tumbling in the world, and slowly became calm.

Purification is not only the cleanliness of the body, but also the cumbersome things in the mind. This is considered pure, so the first day will be chanting.

In the position of Ji Guhua, Fengtai Xian was directly in front of him, and Feng Taixian looked at Feng Feixi in the Taimiao Palace with complicated eyes.Inside are the tablets of Suzaku's successive monarchs. Although the Taimiao is in the palace, the one here is just a palace.

But Fengtai Xian felt ashamed, ashamed of his ancestors, ashamed of Suzaku.

In all things, I advise people not to hide their ignorance, and there is a god in the head.If the gods saw him being so rebellious, they would probably have to endure thousands of sufferings in hell after death.

Fengtaixian smiled sadly, and muttered to himself: "If the heart is as clear as ice, the sky will not be shocked. Everything is still changing, but the spirit is calm. The dust and dirt are not stained, and the vulgarity is not stained."

Dust and dirt are not sticky, and vulgar appearance is not stained.
