Too much fruit

Chapter 898 Sacrifice to Heaven
【A woman should be pretty and filial. 】

【This is a famous saying of great truth.】

The next morning, there were dozens of pages more text in the collection of cause and effect, and it ended with these two sentences, representing that Jiang Li had spent a different and fulfilling night.

First it was Yu Shi Yuanjun, then Tianxuan and Gongsun Qingyue, which made Jiang Li appreciate different kinds of beauty. For a moment, he even felt as lazy as a king who did not attend the morning court.

'What a pity, they are all broken.'

Jiang Li stretched out his hand to embrace the beauty beside him, glanced sideways at the tattered white cloth and white clothes beside the bed, revealing a look of regret.

Last night seemed a bit too intense.

Look, at this moment, Senior Sister was still sleeping like a baby, her pretty face full of tranquility after extreme happiness. And Master Tianxuan had his eyes lightly closed, with a faint smile on his face, revealing a rare sense of relaxation.

However, since she fell asleep, it meant that Tianxuan was also tired. Otherwise, with her cultivation level, she would not have needed to sleep long ago.

Seeing this, Jiang Li carefully pulled out his arm, then stood up and left the bed.

The innate Qi automatically swept through the body, removing some faint strange smells, while the Tai Su Qi directly transformed into a set of white casual clothes and put it on Jiang Li's body.

Then, without opening the door, he walked straight through it and went outside.

I didn't have time to do anything else last night, so I let Yu Shi Yuanjun stay in the space created by Jiang Li all night. It would be better to let her out as soon as possible this morning to avoid being discovered.

Almost at the moment when Jiang Li walked out, Tianxuan opened his eyes and woke up as if he sensed something.

"This traitor didn't even bother to wake me up." Tianxuan frowned and blamed him.

She was able to sleep so peacefully because Jiang Li was by her side. Without that traitor, even if there were formations and prohibitions protecting her, Tian Xuan would wake up immediately out of caution.

Even if she was tired, she could recover by meditating. For people at her level, sleep had long become a way of leisure and enjoyment, rather than a necessity.

Having said this, Tianxuan was not surprised that Jiang Li left quietly.

These are just trivial matters. There are many preparations to be made before ascending the throne.

"When Ji Lingguang gets promoted, let her take on more government affairs, so that she won't have to think about unnecessary things all day long because of emotional pain."

Tianxuan said this and glanced at Gongsun Qingyue who was still sleeping soundly. She tried to close her eyes but found it difficult to fall asleep, so she simply got up and started to dress up.

······
······
Jiang Li left the vicinity of Nanming Pavilion, shook his sleeves lightly, and activated the Eight Trigrams, opening up a formation space from which a golden light flew out.

Master Yu Yuanjun was floating in the air in the form of a small and exquisite dragon. He looked at Jiang Li with a smile in his dragon eyes and said jokingly, "I didn't expect that the relationship between you three masters and disciples is so complicated in private. It's fine to call him master, disciple, or junior brother, but you even call him dad."

"If Yuanjun had joined in last night, things would have been more complicated." Jiang Li was unmoved by Yu Shi Yuanjun's teasing and said calmly.

If Yushi Yuanjun also joined in, Tianxuan could also call Jiangli Master. She and Yushi Yuanjun were not master and apprentice in name, but they were master and apprentice at times. And as the saying goes, once a teacher, always a father. With this relationship, it would be more natural for Tianxuan to call him by a certain title.

And there is Gongsun Qingyue. Considering this relationship, what should she be called?
Jiang Li thought about it and found it difficult to answer even with his incredible wisdom.

If you add one more...

too messy.

Yu Shi Yuan Jun who was standing by also felt that this relationship was a bit confusing. He blinked his dragon eyes twice and said, "I just want you to help me practice. There is no need to get involved in this complicated relationship. It is not suitable, not suitable."

She said "not suitable" twice, as if to express her determination.

After all, he is Tianxuan's teacher. He cannot show that kind of attitude in front of Tianxuan and lose face in front of his disciple like Tianxuan.

Although from what he saw last night, Tianxuan not only did not feel that he had lost face, but he even used it to attack his disciple Gongsun Qingyue, which was completely different from the perception of Yu Shi Yuanjun...

Although she is taking the initiative now, she doesn't want Tianxuan to know at all. Her reaction is similar to Tianxuan's at the beginning.

"Fellow Daoist, we have agreed before that this is necessary for cultivation and does not involve other things. Please do not let our affairs be leaked."

Yu Shi Yuanjun still felt a little worried and gave Jiang Li some instructions.

When you took the initiative to put on the robes yesterday, it didn't seem like you were doing it just for cultivation.

Jiang Li was a little too tired to complain, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Just follow Yuan Jun."

Seeing Jiang Li agreed, Master Yu temporarily put aside his worries about losing face. Just as he was about to say a few more words, his eyes suddenly flashed with golden light, and he said, "Ling Guang is here, so I will leave first."

She didn't have the habit of staying and eavesdropping. As soon as she finished speaking, she turned into a golden light and disappeared from Jiang Li's sight.

Then, after about ten breaths, my sister-in-law, still in mourning, came from the corridor not far away.

The eldest princess did not return to Nanli Palace last night. She worked all night in Daming Hall and did not change out of her plain white dress. Now seeing her again, her sharp temperament and simple and elegant clothes contrast with each other, creating another unique beauty, which is different from Tianxuan and the others.

However, Emperor Jiang was in his sage time and did not pay much attention to it. The eldest princess also looked calm as usual, but a little too calm, which made her look deliberate.

"The Grand Astrologer has chosen several auspicious days. I am here to ask you which one is suitable for the coronation ceremony."

The eldest princess said.

The new emperor had been confirmed at the imperial mausoleum before, but there was still a procedure for the emperor to officially ascend the throne - ascending the throne and offering sacrifices to heaven.

The emperor would offer sacrifices to heaven at the Temple of Heaven in the imperial city, announcing to heaven and earth that the new emperor had ascended the throne. Only then would he legally become the emperor.

When it comes to offering sacrifices to heaven, an auspicious day is naturally indispensable.

Jiang Li himself is also an expert in Yi Dao, and his attainments are far higher than Taibu Ling.

When he heard the princess' words, he did not ask which auspicious day it was, but said directly: "No need to choose, let's set it on the summer solstice."

"The Great Zhou ruled the world with the virtue of fire, and I also have the virtue of fire in my destiny, which is just in time for the summer solstice. Moreover, I can also get my sister-in-law promoted on that day, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

It is in line with destiny and the virtue of fire, and it can also allow the eldest princess to be promoted, adding to the momentum of the new emperor's ascension to the throne. It is not even far from now. This is indeed the best choice.

"Okay, then we'll hold the coronation ceremony on the summer solstice."

The eldest princess did not object and agreed.

"Also, the Emperor's bedroom has been cleaned up for you. You should move in as soon as possible. Don't stay here with your two family members every day, making it difficult for me to go back to Nanli Palace."

"I understand," Jiang Li said, "I'm sorry for bothering you last night. When I have time later, I will come to your house in person to thank you for taking me in."

"Except for someone's head, I am not interested in any other thank-you gifts. If you can bring that head, I am willing to pay any price." The eldest princess said calmly.

She looked normal before, but when she said the last sentence, she showed murderous intent and madness, which made Jiang Li recall their previous meeting again.

Perhaps her obsession was close to madness, but her mind was extremely calm, which made her particularly dangerous.

The eldest princess has become more dangerous than before.

However, this situation is not bad. At least there is no need to worry about the eldest princess being recruited by the Great Master.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I understand." Jiang Li said.

…………

…………

The next few days were uneventful. The Heavenly Monarch did not take any action, and no accidents occurred.

Time, it will soon be the summer solstice.

May 26th, Summer Solstice.

Jiang Li, wearing a twelve-chapter robe and a crown on his head, led civil and military officials to the Temple of Heaven in the imperial city.

The base of the Temple of Heaven is round on the top and has 999 steps on the bottom, representing the place where heaven and earth meet. Climbing up the Temple of Heaven is like standing in the clouds and overlooking the world.

This is also the greatest opportunity for the Heavenly Lord to take action. Even if it fails, he should at least stop Jiang Li's momentum.

However, the Lord of Heaven's methods were not seen for a long time and never caused any waves.

but--

The Lord of Heaven is coming!

He was standing in front of the steps of the Temple of Heaven, as if welcoming Jiang Li.

However, no matter who they were, they ignored the figure standing in front of the Temple of Heaven, as if he did not exist at all.

Except Jiang Li!

Jiang Li walked to the Temple of Heaven without stopping and said, "Master is here."

"I am here," the Heavenly Lord nodded, "to congratulate my nephew on his ascension to the throne."

"that's it?"

"that's it."

While the two were talking, they had already walked up the steps from the foot of the Temple of Heaven.
