Don't mess with the stupid concubine

Chapter 217 Your Majesty, This Palace Will Dispose of You 7
"No need, I always take this sedan chair."

"No, my lord, the emperor said that we must sit in a new big sedan chair to hold up the scene, otherwise others will laugh at our shabby harem..."

"It's ridiculous..." Caiyi said, without further delay, she turned around and boarded the new sedan chair.

"Hehe, empress empress, it seems that the emperor's heart is still on you..." The head of the House of Internal Affairs smiled knowingly, and waved his hand: "Let's go!"

Under the escort of the inner court guards, the empress and her party quickly walked out of the palace.

Along the way, Caiyi asked curiously: "My lord, do you know why the heaven sacrifice ceremony was held suddenly?"

"Back to Empress, this is all done according to Huang Banxian's request."

"Huang Banxian? Who is it?"

"Your Majesty, Huang Banxian is the priest invited by the Emperor to come back and interpret the dream of the Empress Dowager. That man is very clever and powerful. In the palace, I have witnessed his ability with my own eyes..."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

"This matter is absolutely true. A Taoist priest who just came to Beijing from another place can see through other people's fortunes and fortunes at a glance. Even the emperor is very convinced of him, so let the humble official fully cooperate with his work, but..."

Caiyi said indifferently: "Just what?"

The head of the House of Internal Affairs hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's just that this man is a bit cruel, so he asked me to prepare ten death row prisoners..."

"Death row? What's the use of death row?"

"Sacrifice to heaven..."

Caiyi was stunned for a moment: "What? You want to use human blood to sacrifice to heaven!? Such behavior, how is it different from a cold-blooded beast?"

"Oh... Your Majesty, I really have no choice but to be an official. The emperor ordered me to satisfy all the demands of that half-immortal, so I have no choice but to do so. Fortunately, those are all heinous death row prisoners. Otherwise, I really have no choice. Can't bear it."

Caiyi felt very speechless, but in such an era, it was difficult for her to say anything. The millennium gap cannot be filled with just a few words...

Because of boredom, Caiyi raised the curtain of the sedan chair to look out, and asked strangely, "Why don't all the civil and military officials accompany you during this ceremony of worshiping heaven?"

The general manager said: "Madam, all civil and military officials have followed the queen mother and the emperor first, we are the last to leave the palace gate, but it doesn't matter, it's still early, why don't I let them speed up?"

"No need, Bengong is happy alone..."

After walking for almost an hour, I finally arrived at the altar of worshiping the country in Longgu Mountain.

Emperors of all dynasties would come to this altar to hold grand ceremonies every time they prayed for rain to offer sacrifices to the sky, or went out to sacrifice flags.

But today's ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is particularly grand.

Because it was different from the previous ones, this time the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens had spread widely, and many ordinary people followed from the capital to Longgu Mountain to see what happened.

As soon as Caiyi stepped off the sedan chair, two guards just came down from the stage: "Empress, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven will begin soon. The empress dowager and the emperor are already waiting on the stage, empress, please come up with me... ..."

Saying that, the two guards carefully opened the way ahead.

With a calm face, Caiyi calmly followed the guards up the steps to the altar...

The altar is built with century-old solid wood, with a total of 280 steps, and each step is carved with pictures of dragons and phoenixes. The workmanship is exquisite and the project is huge, so the whole altar looks extraordinarily luxurious...
