Chapter 4 The Royal Ancestor Worship Ceremony
·
Yi Dou
In the early morning of this day, nine deafening bells rang in succession for a radius of [-] meters.
Boom!
Boom!
……
When the bell rang, the originally deserted Taimiao suddenly became extremely lively.
All officials from the Ministry of Rites arrived, laid out the red carpet, and prepared sacrifices to livestock and eulogies read by the emperor.
Of course, there is the most important altar, where melons, fruits and livestock are placed on the tall altar.
In addition to many officials from the Ministry of Rituals, nearly a hundred eunuchs sent by the Supervisor of Rituals were also busy.
In the Taimiao, everyone was busy, but Lu Fan, who was the cleaning eunuch of the Taimiao, relaxed instead.
Thanks to his incomparably handsome appearance and immortal temperament.
The old man who came a few days ago arranged him in front of the altar, specially holding the holy scroll with the eulogy written on it.
After the sacrificial ceremony began, he personally handed over the holy volume to the emperor to recite.
It was originally decided that the candidate was Wang Yang, a young eunuch personally recommended by Eunuch Sun, one of the eunuchs in charge of the chief inspector of ceremonies.
Wang Yang and Lu Fan entered the palace together, but Wang Yang was able to come and know how to please others, so he was adopted as a godson by Eunuch Sun.
That's why this time I strongly recommend Wang Yang to be the one holding the Holy Scroll.
After all, this is one of the few opportunities to face Tianyan directly. Once he is valued by the emperor, he will be able to achieve great success just around the corner.
However, he never expected that the old man denied Wang Yang and directly confirmed Lu Fan.
Wang Yang, who was able to hold the sacred scroll in his hand, could only stand under the altar at this moment.
Feeling the venomous gaze in Wang Yang's eyes that could swallow him alive, Lu Fan felt helpless.
The other eunuchs wanted to stand here at all costs, but he really had no interest at all.
He has asked the old man to decline several times, but the other party's tone is extremely firm.
And said that if he didn't agree, he would be transferred to another place.
As a last resort, he could only reluctantly accept this seemingly glorious thing to others.
Glancing at Wang Yang, Lu Fan withdrew his gaze and ignored him.
Today is different from the past, and now I am not someone who can bully me.
He doesn't want to cause trouble, but he is definitely not afraid of trouble!
……
"The auspicious time has come. Your Majesty is invited to stand on the altar and recite the eulogy. Go up to the destiny, and go down to the ancestor..."
As the chief eunuch spoke loudly, Dongyuan Xiong, the lord of Dongyuan in a dragon robe, stepped up to the altar step by step.
It was the first time Lu Fan saw the king, he took a quick look and admired secretly in his heart.
This Dong Yuanxiong is worthy of being the lord of a country, with a coercive face and a terrifying coercion all over his body.
Ordinary people can't help but want to prostrate themselves to the ground just by taking a look at it.
But to Lu Fan, this coercion is naturally not worth mentioning.
What surprised him was that the ruler of the country, Dong Yuanxiong, was also a cultivator, and he had reached the middle stage of the heavenly rank.
Just when he was secretly admiring in his heart, Dong Yuanxiong, who came up on the stage, also had a flash of surprise in his eyes.
There were five or six thousand eunuchs in the palace, but it was the first time he had seen Lu Fan with such a temperament.
Fortunately, as an emperor, he has experienced training for a long time. Although he was surprised in his heart, his face was still extremely coercive and did not change at all.
After Lu Fan handed him the sacred scroll with both hands, he stood on the next level of the highest level of the altar and began to sing the eulogy.
Lu Fan was not interested in these eulogies, which were like the school principal speaking at the opening ceremony.
After listening to the first two sentences, he carefully observed everyone in front, left and right.
Stand tall and see far.
At the moment, only he and Dong Yuanxiong are standing on the altar, so he can see everyone without hindrance.
But at this moment, everyone lowered their heads and listened carefully to the eulogy, and no one dared to look up.
So no one noticed that Lu Fan, a little eunuch, was looking at them at such a solemn moment.
After a brief glance, Lu Fan was secretly amazed.
The royal family of Dongyuan is really not simple. During the scanning process just now, he has found no less than five heavenly warriors.
In addition to these heavenly rank warriors, there are dozens of earth rank warriors and more than 100 black rank warriors.
These strong men are all surrounded in all directions in different costumes, firmly guarding the altar in the center.
However, he didn't feel the aura of the innate strong here, which made him feel a little relieved.
But he knew that there must be a strong person sitting in the palace, but he didn't know where.
Just as he was thinking secretly, he suddenly felt someone staring at him.
After being promoted to Innate, he can be very sensitive to other people's eyes and killing intent.
When he followed the source of his gaze, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback.
Because the one staring at him was a very cute little eunuch with a small hat on his head.
It may be difficult for others to detect, but Lu Fan can tell at a glance that this is a fake little eunuch, but the real body is a little girl.
You don't need to guess, it must be some little princess pretending to be a little eunuch and sneaking in.
According to the Taimiao family regulations, any women are strictly prohibited from approaching the Taimiao.
It is not allowed to come in at ordinary times, let alone at the moment of incomparable majesty such as sacrifice.
Seeing Lu Fan staring at her, the fake little eunuch immediately made a vicious face at him, and stuck out his tongue at him.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Lu Fan's mouth turned up slightly, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.
He has never seen the prince and princess in the palace, so he doesn't know who this little girl is.
But this little girl is quite cute.
Seeing Lu Fan pouted his mouth and laughed silently, the fake little eunuch pouted angrily and gritted his teeth at him.
But her appearance made Lu Fan even more amused, so he blinked at her deliberately.
This made the little girl roll her eyes even more angrily, and lowered her head after gritting her teeth at Lu Fan.
But after a while, he raised his head and stared at Lu Fan again, feeling as if he lowered his head and became more and more angry.
Under such an interesting process of teasing the little girl, time passed quickly, and the long eulogy finally came to an end.
Then there are other sacrificial procedures, but these procedures are much faster.
After an hour, all the processes are over.
Just when Lu Fan wanted to return to the Hall of No Names and wait for everyone to leave, the Chief Eunuch came to find him again.
The chief eunuch was the old eunuch who asked Lu Fan to replace Wang Yang, and he was smiling all over his face at the moment.
"Xiao Fanzi, great news, His Majesty wants to see you, your chance has come, let's go with the miscellaneous family."
Looking at the smiling Chief Manager Cao Chun, Lu Fan suddenly felt helpless.
Being too handsome is also a kind of trouble.
He didn't need to guess and knew that His Majesty the Emperor definitely wanted to transfer himself to his side because of his appearance and temperament.
And his guess was right, Dong Yuanxiong really wanted to transfer him to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to serve him when he was summoned.
If it was someone else who listened to this, I'm afraid he would faint from excitement on the spot.
But Lu Fan bowed slightly to Dong Yuanxiong without humility and said:
"Returning to Your Majesty, half a year ago, the former emperor of the Taimiao entrusted me with a dream, asking me to stay in the Taimiao for ten years, so as to ensure the peace of our Dongyuan Kingdom for a hundred years.
For the peace of the Dongyuan Kingdom for a hundred years, please forgive me for being unreasonable and unable to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. "
Facing the imperial power, he couldn't refuse it directly, so he could only express it euphemistically in the way the former emperor entrusted his dreams.
After all, this is the world of cultivation, and it is completely understandable to have such an explanation as Tuomeng.
Sure enough, after hearing his remarks, Dong Yuanxiong gave up his decision to transfer him to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Before leaving, Dong Yuanxiong also gave him a jade pendant, which contained a lot of spiritual energy.
However, this jade pendant was of no use to him, and he took it into the system warehouse after Xiong Dong led his people away.
Just when he came to Tianzheng Hall to start signing in today, that fake little eunuch sneaked over...
Boom!
Boom!
