"The world is vast..."

On the winter solstice, countless civil and military officials, led by Emperor Li Shimin, came to the outskirts of Chang'an to hold a ceremony to worship the sky. During the feudal period, human beings believed that there was a kind of power in the dark that could control the world, so even the emperor would pray to God to bless everyone with good weather and abundant food and clothing. At this time, all civil and military officials would come to participate in the worship of the sky together, and the head emperor Li Shimin was reciting the sacrifice to heaven. As for the officials below, they would kneel down, which was considered respect for God.

Although Chen Fei doesn't like kneeling down, this time it's not for the emperor, but for the so-called "God", Chen Fei can only pinch his nose and accept it. Anyway, no one can escape the kneeling level this time. Even the emperor, the "Son of Heaven", has to kneel down to his "I'm the Lord". What else can Chen Fei say?

As for the few days this time, the princes, princesses, and civil and military officials of Chang'an were coming, and even the eunuchs of grades were coming. Chen Fei saw Zhou Nader, who was serving Li Shimin. Even Princess Wanchun's princess family Ling Xiaoxue was coming. However, this princess family Ling Xiaoxue was here by his side, and appeared as Chen Fei's woman. As for the princess, because she has not yet officially got married, she can only stand in the ranks of the royal family and is not standing with Chen Fei.

However, Xiao Xue was standing next to Chen Fei, and her meaning was obvious enough. Such a young princess's family order could only be the princess' dowry palace maid, otherwise she would really think that the seventh-rank official is so easy to be! You should know that the princess's family order is a seventh-rank official in the Tang Dynasty official system. It was usually served as those old and qualified palace maids. Princess Wanchun chose Xiao Xue as the role, and all fools knew what it meant. Such a young princess' family order must be dowry with the princess, otherwise why should the princess treat you preferentially!

Xiao Xue's meaning is already very obvious when standing beside Chen Fei, that is, the marriage between Princess Wanchun and Chen Fei has been settled. Otherwise, how could a woman who is a princess dowry follow Chen Fei?

"Perform the ceremony of three kneelings and nine kowtows to the heavens!" crownard, the ritual officer, shouted.

Next, everyone will also kneel and kowtow to the heavens. In the Tang Dynasty, it was not like the Qing Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, it was necessary to kneel and kowtow to the emperor three and nine kowtow to the emperor. However, the Tang Dynasty's kneel and nine kowtow to the emperor was just a ritual for ghosts and gods. In the Tang Dynasty, even if they met the emperor, they didn't have to kneel down, just hold their fists and bow. Unless it was a special formal occasion for offering sacrifices to the sky, three and nine kowtow to the emperor, but that was for the heavens, not for the emperor.

"It's really troublesome, when will it end!" Chen Fei cursed inwardly.

Although it was already winter, Chen Fei was so tired that he was sweating. Obviously, this sacrifice to heaven was not only mentally but also physically. Xiao Xue next to her also seemed very tired. If Chen Fei hadn't supported her, she would probably not be able to stand firm.

"Is it okay?" Chen Fei asked.

Xiao Xue shook her head and said, "It's okay!"

After all, Xiao Xue is also his own woman in the future, so of course she has to take good care of her. As a woman with three confirmed identities, Chen Fei also has a so-called confidante, and he must give a bowl of water equally. Except for Princess Wanchun, who has the highest status, Chen Fei is trying to be fair to other women. However, Chen Fei did not buy any valuable gifts for these women. They are all simple gifts, just for them to have fun, and everyone has them, and there will be no one missing. This is to learn from the Cui family. Except for the wife, other concubines are treated equally. The reason why Chen Fei does not buy expensive gifts is because most of his income was "confiscated" by Princess Wanchun to do charity. What Chen Fei can do is his monthly salary. Although this money is much better than many people. However, if you want to buy any valuable gifts, it is still much more at once, so it is difficult for Chen Fei to do it.

So Chen Fei followed Cui Xiuxiu's teaching method. He mainly used spiritual comfort and material comfort as a supplement. Anyway, these women are not people who lack money and living conditions. Chen Fei's status is not low and has no worries about food and clothing, so Chen Fei does not have any more material conditions to give them, and it is not necessary. As long as they can care for them in life, they can feel the care of Chen Fei, a man. Anyway, once a woman does not lack material conditions, they lack spiritual care. None of these women lack material conditions, so even if Chen Fei gives them more wealth, it is meaningless.

"The ceremony of worshiping heaven is completed, and all civil and military officials leave the court in an orderly manner!" Chou Nader shouted.

"Long live the emperor!" everyone shouted together, these were all commanded by someone.

Next, everyone left the market in an orderly manner, and group of people left the market according to their status and grades. First, Li Shimin can go and have a rest first, which is enough to make the emperor tired. Next, the first-grade second-grade to third-grade, Chen Fei is the fifth-grade, so he can only come slower. Princess Wanchun is the princess, which is equivalent to the first-grade, so she can also leave first, and Princess Wanchun did not forget to look at Chen Fei.

"Oh, it's really troublesome, it's really troublesome for rituals! I won't want to do this next time!" Chen Fei complained.

Princess Wanchun immediately said: "Chen Fei, don't say that. If someone hears it, it will be bad. At that time, if God brings punishment from heaven, then you will be in trouble."

"Bah, my life is up to me, and I don't believe that the so-called punishment of heaven can do anything to me." Chen Fei snorted.

As a later generation, how could he believe these? The kings of all dynasties were worshiping the sky, but those dynasties should decline will decline. How could God be blessed? Chen Fei was sure that the emperor Li Shimin never believed in heaven, otherwise how could he have the courage to launch the Xuanwu Gate Incident? Therefore, worshiping the sky is just a fool, but sometimes some emperors fool themselves and really think of themselves as the idea of ​​having a destiny on them.

"Okay, okay, don't tell me if you don't believe me, otherwise it will be very bad for you!" Princess Wanchun said.

Obviously, Princess Wanchun was not very interested in this trick, so she didn't look very angry.

"Okay, next, there are still many busy times. During the next few days of holidays, we will go to congratulate all the superiors and colleagues of the court. I'm afraid it's even more tiring than work!" Chen Fei complained. (To be continued...)
