Chapter 283 The Eve of the Sacrament
However, the worship of the emperor will definitely not be the same as that of the common people. After all, the emperors of the two empires are also the two most prestigious dragon clans among the seven holy clans.

They usually sit on a pedestal without a roof, and a servant kowtows on their behalf.

Although the emperor doesn't have to walk all the way, but sitting on the bench all day long, he suffers from the wind and the sun, and he has to come down and walk for a while when encountering difficult roads. For the pampered emperor, it was definitely a huge chore.

However, the capitals of the two empires are located in the easternmost part of the mainland and the other in the northernmost part of the mainland, and the Tianxuan Palace is located in the extreme southwest of the mainland. It will take at least a year and a half for the emperor to go there. Things that have been worrying since he ascended the throne.

But for ordinary people, being able to go to worship once in a lifetime is a major event planned since birth in their life course.

Wanyan is no exception. Since she was a child, she has thought that when she gets old and returns to her hometown, she must go to the Tianxuan Hall to pay her respects.

On this day, people all over the continent have to put on their neatest and most formal clothes, and the whole family gathers to have a vegetarian meal.Those who have the conditions should open the door to distribute porridge and help the poor.

When the sun rises to its highest point at noon, everyone must bow three times facing the southwest direction to show the highest respect to the Holy One.In the evening, there is a grand fireworks display on the street, and people from all over the world gather together to sing and dance to celebrate the birthday of the patron saint of the world.

The fireworks are also famous, because on this day, as long as they are devout believers who are dedicated to goodness, no matter what wishes they make, the Holy One can satisfy them.

And the fireworks flying to the sky will bring people's wishes from the ground to the sky, to the place closest to the Holy One, so that the Holy One can hear the voices in the hearts of his people.So when the fireworks rise into the night sky, the sick will pray for recovery, the wanderer will pray for a return date, and the infatuated men and women will join hands to pray for a long time.

Everyone is full of hope at this moment.

When Wanyan returned to the gate of the mansion, she happened to see the servants carrying bags of rice from the wooden carts into the mansion through the side door.

The Xuanfu of the Baize family is one of the most prestigious families on the mainland, whether it is the family of the gods or the prime minister of the largest empire. Naturally, it must set an example. The amount of porridge is the largest every year. The gate has been crowded with people from early morning to late at night, and there is an endless stream of people who come to make porridge.

In previous years, Miss Xuan Mansion Wan Shu was in charge of distributing the porridge, but this year Wan Shu was not around, so the heavy responsibility fell on Wan Yan and Xuan Yi, so as soon as they got home, Wan Yan went straight to the accounting room and warehouse, Checking the matters related to the distribution of porridge tomorrow, preparing the layout of the Xuan Mansion, I was busy until it was almost dawn, waiting for the first pot of steaming porridge to come out, and the Xuan Mansion was also cleaned spotlessly, Wanyan finally returned In the bedroom, I thought about resting for a while.

Wanyan lay on the bed with her clothes on, staring out of the window but couldn't fall asleep.

On this day in previous years, she also couldn't sleep, because she was so envious that she couldn't sleep.

She didn't know why, on such a most sacred day of national celebration, other people's homes were so lively, but her own home was more deserted than usual.

On this day, the father obviously didn't have to go to court, but he also locked himself in the house, and he didn't even want to eat a meal with the children.

And the mother locked herself in the house as before, and did not light candles when it was dark, as if she had gone to bed early, and it seemed that she hadn't woken up all day.

At first, Wanyan thought it was because her parents were not people who liked the excitement, so she didn't want to join in the excitement, but then there was a birthday of the Holy Lord, Wanyan and Xuan Yi listened to the excitement outside the door, and couldn't help but yearn for it in their hearts. , They also slipped out to play in the street.

However, just as they were singing and dancing with the crowd happily, they were dragged back by their father.

On that day, the brother and sister saw Xuan Ying's greatest anger.Xuan Ying didn't have any reason, so the brother and sister punished and knelt in front of Mrs. Shi's closed bedroom door. They knelt for a whole night. No matter how hard they begged to admit their mistakes, Xuan Ying never let go.

Xuan Ying didn't get angry, but in Xuan Ying's silence, the brother and sister saw the anger he was holding back, and the anger burned Xuan Ying until his skin was red and tense every time.

He only said, "You must know that what you have done today is the most shameful betrayal."

Wanyan still doesn't understand why people all over the country can celebrate the festival, but her own family can't, but after that, Wanyan never dared to challenge her parents' bottom line, so she could only stay at home honestly, third sister The younger brother was alone around Nuo Da's dining table, listening to the wanton laughter, singing and dancing outside the door, and listening to the sound of fireworks coming from the sky.

On that night every year, Xuan Mansion seems to be an isolated world, tightly shrouded in black silence, incompatible with joy and hope.
