too affectionate

Chapter 288
Wanyan smiled and sleepwalked like a wandering spirit for a whole day, only felt that even the corners of her mouth were stiff, and finally made it to the afternoon, when she could go in to wash and change clothes, ready to enter the palace.

According to the rules, the emperor of Tianquan would bring the empress, princes and officials to visit the Yingtian Tower in the center of Kyoto on the day of Shengxuan Festival, and celebrate the festival with the people on it.This can not only reflect the quality of the emperor's understanding of the people's sentiments, but also show that the emperor is no different from the common people in front of faith, and they are the most devout subjects of the saint.

However, due to the limited carrying capacity of Yingtian Tower, not all ministers have the opportunity to celebrate the festival with the emperor. Every time, His Majesty and the Ministry of Rites jointly draw up a list. The close ministers of the emperor's confidantes are all important figures in the court.

Relying on her outstanding political achievements and the trust of the emperor, Wanyan was also honored to ascend to the Yingtian Tower to celebrate with the emperor this year, becoming the second young courtier after Heng Li.

At the time of You, Wanyan was already fully dressed and was waiting for His Majesty at the gate of the palace with all the officials.

Since she escaped when she was a child until now, this is the first time in seven or eight years that Wanyan has left the house on the day of Shengxuan Festival, and her heart is full of emotion.

This mood reached its peak at the moment when she climbed to Yingtian Tower.

Wanyan has lived in Kyoto for more than 15 years, and she never knew that there is such a beautiful scene in Kyoto.

Looking from a high place, the city of Kyoto in the dim night is completely covered with bright Chinese clothes, like a green pool full of stars, and the lights shuttle through it like a swimming dragon, spreading out the blurred brilliance.

On the streets, in the courtyard, and under the houses, people celebrating like a flood occupied every corner of the city.Their colorful clothes are connected to form a ribbon that runs through every street in the city, connecting everyone's own happiness and becoming a happy piece.

Although Wanyan couldn't clearly see their smiling faces or hear their laughter from such a long distance, just looking at their moving little figures, Wanyan could already feel clearly that they were Celebrating.

Wanyan knows that happiness is not just a mood, but also an atmosphere, a signal that cannot be seen, heard, or touched, and is transmitted out of thin air.

Looking at the surrounding scenery, Wanyan felt for the first time that this gloomy day that was like a curse to her was such a good time for everyone else, so good that Those who are in rags, those who are frowning every day, and those who are troubled by life can remember only good things on this day, and they can be full of hope on this day.

Of course, it will be full of hope. The day when the Holy One was born is the day when the world is filled with hope.

When the emperor joined hands with empress Ren to appear on the observation deck on the top floor of Yingtian Tower, the joy of the people reached its peak, and the crowd rushed towards the tower like a tidal wave, wanting to see the grace of the emperor.

In less than a minute since the emperor's appearance, more than a dozen miles of land under the Yingtian Tower have been crowded with each other, forming a colorful ocean.

The emperor looked down at his subjects, smiled calmly, waved slightly to the crowd, and said in a loud voice: "Sacred Xuan Festival, all people in the world are grateful for the great kindness of the Holy One, and celebrate the birthday of the Holy One, and pray for the blessing of the Holy One Bless the world. In order to show the sincerity of my Heavenly Power, I sent an envoy to take the pilgrimage to Kunlun on my behalf, and made a tribute to the temple to pray for the supreme destiny and the Supreme God to bless my Heavenly Power with good weather and good health for the people in the coming year. !"

After finishing speaking, His Majesty turned his head slightly and ordered to the eunuch who was at the side, "Read the list of ceremonies."

The eunuch on the side immediately took orders, and then two other eunuchs came up with a wooden tray containing five golden scrolls.

At the moment when the eunuch opened the scroll, standing under the Yingtian Building, there was a guard every ten steps, and then spread the words just said by the emperor to the crowd layer by layer, and the temperature of the crowd was really high. It immediately heated up a bit.

So the next step is for the eunuch to replace the emperor to read aloud the tribute presented to Tianxuan Hall this year. This is undoubtedly an extremely huge project. Just reading the names of various tributes at a fast speed is enough to read aloud. It took two quarters of an hour.

It includes thousands of taels of gold, ten thousand stones of grain, countless beautiful jade treasures, etc., which is almost half of the annual tax revenue of the Tianquan Kingdom, enough to cover the expenses of the Tianxuan Palace for 30 to [-] years!
As the number of items increased, the people downstairs became more and more excited, and the sound of cheering and applauding gradually began to change from the voice of the eunuch reading aloud.

When the common people saw that such a large amount of taxes they paid were given to the Tianxuan Hall as tributes, they were naturally very happy and willing. A tribute gift is naturally a good thing to accumulate virtue and good fortune.

When the eunuch finally finished reading all the titles, a large group of people knelt down in Yingtian downstairs, even though there were a large number of people, they were rarely lined up in an orderly manner.

For a moment, the shouts and shouts of the common people became a vast piece, shaking the whole city and resounding through the sky.

"Your Majesty is holy! Long live Your Majesty! God bless Heaven!"

"Long live Your Majesty! God bless God"

Waves of cheers came from near to far like a tide, wave after wave, until the eardrums of each other and the people upstairs vibrated and trembled.

But the more the crowd cheered, the more excited and excited they became, and the shouting did not stop for a long time.

Above the Yingtian Building, all the ministers also knelt on the ground and shouted together: "Your Majesty's holiness is truly a blessing of heaven."

So the sky is full of spiritual and clear stars, and the ground is denser than the stars. Standing between the sky and the earth, Wanyan, amidst the mighty shouts, naturally feels a sense of vastness and grandeur from the bottom of her heart. The feeling of isolation from the festive season that had never been celebrated in my heart also disappeared a bit.

At this moment, Wanyan felt for the first time that she had merged into this happy atmosphere, and was no longer the alien who was surrounded by gloom.

It's just that Wanyan's only regret is that she can't spend this magnificent moment with Heng Li.If it was in previous years, Heng Li, as the emperor's most trusted minister, would naturally appear in Yingtian Tower. If he hadn't been sent out to perform a mission this year, he could stand shoulder to shoulder with Wanyan and watch the prosperity of the world together.

The shouts of the people did not gradually stop until the emperor waved his hands sorely.

At this point, even if the activities of the emperor and the people on the Yingtian Tower have come to an end, the emperor and concubine are all noble people, and they can't bear the wind on this tall building at night, so they are surrounded by the officials. Next, walked down Yingtian Building, and boarded the carriage back to the palace.
