Has the princess petted her husband today?

Chapter 199 First Step of Sacrifice

In the evening, after Yuan Liyue took a bath, she changed into the plain clothes she had prepared long ago.

The plain clothes are pure white without any patterns on them, the style is extremely simple, the toga has wide sleeves, and the belt is tightly tied, making the whole person look spiritual and simple.

After Juanyun helped Yuan Liyue dry her hair, Zhiqiu stepped forward to help her pull up her hair, and inserted a mutton jade hairpin obliquely to fix it, which was considered done.

Several court ladies also changed into plain clothes one after another. It is said that this is to show in front of Qiushen that the emperor is no different from the common people, they are both sincere.

After the group packed up, they went straight to the main hall in front of the mountain.

Outside the main hall is an extremely spacious square, just enough to accommodate these people.

The ministers and family members were all wearing plain clothes, looking from a distance, they were all white, which was particularly conspicuous in this dark night.

King Ning and King Fu stood in front of everyone, one left and one right, and they seemed to have little communication.

Even if the eyes met occasionally, they moved away very quickly.

Yuan Liyue led the four court ladies through the corridor and walked over. When everyone saw them, they all saluted.

"See Your Royal Highness the Princess."

Yuan Liyue raised her hand: "Excuse me, is everyone here?"

It was Prime Minister Luo Yu who asked this question.

Luo Yu took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Go back to Your Highness, everything is ready. You can start now."

Yuan Liyue nodded, then turned to look at Abbot Wuming who was standing beside the three-legged incense burner, "Master Wuming, we are all ready, we can start now."

Master Wu Ming nodded, and the young monks behind the incense burner sat down cross-legged one after another, with ten people in each row and ten people in each column, a total of 100 people.

They held Buddhist beads and sang Buddhist scriptures while twisting them.

The calm and very rhythmic voice instantly echoed in the square, making people's minds involuntarily quiet down.

Yuan Liyue stepped forward, took the incense that was as thick as a child's arm from Master Wuming, held it with both hands, and bowed deeply in the direction of the incense burner. After getting up, she looked serious and raised her voice: "The universe is bright and bright, the moon is bright and bright, God blesses Tianyuan, and the New Year's feast is a success."

The officials behind him also repeated it, then knelt down and kowtowed.

After they got up, they worshiped on the second day of Yuan Liyue, "Summer resigns and autumn arrives, the wind sends Jinbo, God blesses Tianyuan, and the country will be safe forever."

The officials kowtowed again.

Yuan Li month three obeisances, "The people of Li have sincerity, pray for the arrival of the god of autumn, God bless Tianyuan, and the harvest will be safe."

After three kowtows, Yuan Liyue stepped forward and inserted the thick stick of incense into the incense burner.

Scarlet sparks flashed, and the curl of green smoke dissipated in the night wind.

Yuan Liyue then heaved a sigh of relief, she was really afraid that if she remembered it wrong, or said the wrong word, it would be extremely embarrassing.

After all, it was the first time for me to preside over the activity of offering sacrifices to the God of Autumn, and the old fritters below had participated in it countless times, so they knew the word by heart.

At that time, it is very likely that she made a mistake and didn't know it, but she was still talking, and they looked at themselves like a fool.

That picture... was so beautiful, Yuan Liyue shook her head slightly, she didn't dare to think about it!
Master Wu Ming said to her: "Amitabha, congratulations to Your Highness for completing the first step of offering sacrifices to the gods. Next, just sit here and accept the baptism of Buddhist scriptures."

Yuan Liyue nodded, the futons for everyone to kneel for a while had already been arranged in a patchwork manner in the square, and now Yuan Liyue took the lead in kneeling down, and everyone followed suit.

Master Wuming sat at the junction of the two sides, knocked a big wooden fish, and joined the team of chanting sutras.
