Chapter 222

After a short rest, they went to the sacrificial field over there, and the spring ploughing ceremony was about to officially open.

The empress went to the altar. The matter of offering sacrifices to heaven had been arranged by the ritual department a few days ago. The emperor and the queen began to go up slowly from the steps to the front of the case and began to read the sacrifice along with the official who read the will.

"The minister was so frightened that he immediately told God and the gods in all directions -- and burned the above gifts and smoked them, begging God to share them with the gods." even if he was as noble as the king of a country, he still had to bow down to God. Although the emperor had the power of life and death, he never dared to reduce his awe of God.

At the bottom, Su Zixuan was a little stunned. She didn't know what kind of person the emperor was in the past. She only knew from those Frank words that he was suspicious and cruel. However, similarly, he had a good governance and sometimes radical means, but it was better than the previous emperor's mediocrity and inaction, better than the death of the previous dynasty.

Now on this altar, the emperor's sincere appearance fell into her eyes, and those sonorous and powerful sacrifices also fell into her ears. Today, if this situation is abandoned, he can definitely be called a qualified king.

Mind the world, but not women's benevolence.

"Sister in law, what's the matter with you?" Princess Yan pulled Su Zixuan. Now that the ceremony has been completed, she still stared at the altar and didn't know what she was thinking.

"Ah." Su Zixuan looked back and looked at the people on the side and went to the sacrificial field in an orderly way. She said with some embarrassment: "when I saw such a ceremony for the first time, I felt sacred and solemn and inviolable. For a time, I was fascinated."

"I used to be like this. I stayed for a long time when I first saw it, but no one reminded me. I almost made a joke." Princess Yan missed her tone and remembered that she was the only one when she first married. Unconsciously, she already had so many siblings.

Young husband and wife, now even their eldest daughter is almost five years old, and they don't look good anymore.

Su Zixuan looked at Princess Yan and fell into some kind of nostalgia. She thought she would brush her sense of existence here again, and wanted to say her help to herself through these words. Now it doesn't seem to be.

Su Zixuan didn't urge her either. Princess Ren Yan thought for a long time. When she woke up, she went to the sacrificial field together.

The emperor had already rolled up his sleeves and tied up his clothes, so he took the hoe brought by the servants and began to plough.

Several princes also followed, some loosening the soil, while the prince followed the emperor and helped the plow. He was busy from top to bottom. Even the women's family members on Su Zixuan's side made some interesting things, and then they were taken by the queen and the crown princess to a yard to tidy up the silkworms.

When Su Zixuan was in the south of the Yangtze River, she saw that the weavers in the weaving workshop over there had done these, but those were cocoons. She saw live silkworm babies for the first time, looking at round heads and round heads one by one.

If Su Zixuan had not been afraid of so many insects since she was a child, she would have been lovely.

But the problem is that she is a little afraid of these things, let alone touch them. Therefore, she only carefully wipes the mulberry leaves on the side and doesn't ask the head to leave some water. According to the waiting aunt, if there is water on the mulberry leaves, the baby silkworm will have diarrhea.

"Sister-in-law is still too timid. How lovely the silkworm baby is," Princess Ping looked at Su Zixuan and wanted to tease her. She thought she was not afraid of anything.

Su Zixuan just smiles. As long as she doesn't bring the bug in front of her, Su Zixuan can just look at her with a good temper.

"The third sister-in-law has great courage and knowledge. Naturally, she is not afraid of anything, but I can't see such a multi legged insect since I was a child, so I'd better not get close to it." Su Zixuan said generously, and didn't hide it at all. Instead, Princess Ping, who originally wanted to scare Su Zixuan, didn't dare to start.

As for Su Zixuan's previous character of refusing to suffer losses, if she frightened her today, I don't know how she will return it. Princess Ping thought, she'd better give up.

Su Zixuan saw that she knew the truth and hummed in her heart. She went to the fence outside and looked at the distance. The emperor had plowed that mu of land, sat on the observation platform and watched the princes loosen the soil below.

Her eyes were good. At a glance, she saw Chu Yixiu working hard in the field. The brothers on the side still took a break from time to time. Only Chu Yixuan looked as if he didn't work hard. In fact, he did it most seriously.

"This doesn't accord with the rumor that he is weak," Su Zixuan couldn't help making a sound. All she could see in her eyes were her own people.

"What is the princess talking about?" Ruyi asked. She didn't know why Su Zixuan suddenly spoke to herself.

"Nothing," Su Zixuan replied uneasily. Then she saw that their soil had been loosened and dug a pit, and the princes and ministers began to sow seeds in it.
