Chapter 895 You Must Have some Hidden Disease

This is the ancestral system of the Great Shang Dynasty.

Concubines below the queen are not eligible to attend this kind of event.

Of course, apart from the queen, the queen mother also has this qualification.

However, since Long Yang ascended the throne, the annual sacrificial activities specifically excluded Empress Dowager Xiaojing.

Therefore, during Long Yang's reign, Empress Dowager Xiaojing never attended the moon sacrifice activities of the Shangyuan Festival.

The royal sacrifice to the Moon God is extremely grand, and it is the most solemn sacrifice in a year.

Although Long Yang didn't believe in ghosts and gods, he attached great importance to this sacrifice.

And this sacrificial event, Xiangyang King Longxiao and Ningguo Princess Long Qingzhi were also impressively present.

When everyone arrived under the altar, a sound similar to a trumpet sounded suddenly. The sound was very loud and passionate, and seemed to resound through the heaven and earth, but it added a solemn and sacred feeling. Immediately afterwards, other musical instruments also It started playing.

Everyone stopped under a tall tower.

The altar is set on the high tower. It is said that this high tower has a total of 89 steps. This high tower is also the tallest building in the imperial palace.

The main purpose of offering sacrifices to the Moon God is to pray for good fortune for the country, good weather, peace and security for the country and the people, and this step requires the emperor and empress to climb the tower together to complete.

Long Yang had to come to this sacrifice every year, so every step was done with ease, but this year there was more Lu Liangwei, and Lu Liangwei was still pregnant with a child, so it was not an easy task to climb the tower.

He suppressed the worry in his heart, looked at Lu Liangwei tenderly, "Can you go?"

Lu Liang slightly glanced at the tall tower in front of him, nodded, and said firmly, "Yes."

She was pregnant with the dragon heir, so she didn't have to participate in this sacrificial ceremony, but this was the first sacrificial activity for the two after their wedding.

Moreover, she heard from Ah Jiu that sacrificing to the moon god is a long-standing custom of the Great Shang, and both the royal family and ordinary people attach great importance to it.

If on the day of Shangyuan Festival, the husband and wife worship the moon god together, they will be favored by the moon god, and their lives will be happy forever.

Although she didn't believe this, she sincerely hoped that she and the emperor would be happy for the rest of their lives, and that her children could also grow up healthily.

Even if it's for auspiciousness, she still has to attend this sacrifice. Moreover, this was the first sacrificial activity she participated in together with the emperor, so she naturally couldn't show her timidity.

However, she was very glad that she was only four months pregnant, if there were two more months, she might not be able to cope.

The people from Qin Tianjian had already stepped up the tower first, preparing for the sacrifice.

Except for the empress, everyone else stayed under the tower.

Long Yang took Lu Liangwei's hand, stepped up the steps, and whispered: "I'll hold you, you don't have to force it, if you're tired, just tell me."

"Okay." Lu Liang replied in a low voice, looking at the tall man beside him, feeling very at ease.

Looking at the hands held by the empress, Long Qingzhi chuckled, "My brother really loves people."

Standing next to her, Long Xiao sighed, "A hero is saddened by the beauty pass. I never thought that brother Huang would have such a day."

Hearing this, Long Qingzhi looked away, glanced at him, and said seriously: "You are not too young, you are already twenty-six years old this year, and it's time to marry a wife."

Hearing this, Long Xiao felt a little helpless, "Sister Huang, come again, I'm not interested in marrying a wife, I'm fine as I am now, I have nothing to worry about."

After hearing this, Long Qingzhi looked sideways, paused, and said in a low voice: "Xiao'er, do you have some hidden illness?"
