"Old Ancestor, sometimes you can't just ignore luck."
Zhuge Nanhua frowned.
The Grand Tutor nodded. "You're right. But tell me, who will inherit the throne this time?"
"The little prince. Do you even need to ask?"
Zhuge Nanhua was stunned and looked at the Grand Tutor in confusion.
"That's right!"
"It's the little prince who will inherit the throne."
"Even if it's an ominous sign, it's the little prince's business. What does it have to do with us?"
"Besides, this ominous sign is only spread within the Imperial Palace. Outsiders don't know about it. Even if it really rains, it won't cause too much of a commotion."
The Grand Tutor sneered.
"That's right!"
Zhuge Nanhua nodded in realization.
The Grand Tutor smiled. "Maybe we're the ones who brought this ominous sign."
"We?"
Zhuge Nanhua was stunned.
"That's right!"
"Because we want to take the throne from the little prince, the ominous sign has appeared. This is a warning from the heavens to the little prince."
"However, the little prince is just a brat now. He doesn't know anything and doesn't understand this at all."
The Grand Tutor said.
Zhuge Nanhua pondered for a while and looked up at the sky. He smiled. "Old Ancestor, what you said does make sense!"
After saying that, Zhuge Nanhua said worriedly, "However, if it really rains, Emperor Hong might give the order to cancel the ceremony!"
"Therefore, we have to complete the ceremony as soon as possible."
"Go to the square first and maintain order."
"This old man will go look for Celestial Empress now and explain everything clearly to her, lest she makes any mistakes for this old man."
The Grand Tutor said.
"Yes."
Zhuge Nanhua replied respectfully and opened the portal. He turned around and walked in.
"Ominous sign …"
"You actually created such a troublesome matter for me at such an important time. Heavens, are you playing with me?"
"However, even if you're God, I won't compromise!"
The Grand Tutor looked at the hazy sky and smiled coldly. Then, he rose into the sky and disappeared at lightning speed.
…
About half an hour passed.
Buzz!
Qin Feiyang received a message from Yan Wei.
All the civil and military officials had arrived at the central square.
All the vassals had also arrived.
The grand ceremony was about to begin!
Qin Feiyang finally withdrew his arm, closed the book, and left the castle.
…
On the square.
The various feudal lords and civil and military officials gathered at the center of the square, whispering to each other.
The surroundings of the square were also extremely noisy.
"Hundreds of civil and military officials have arrived. It seems that the news of His Majesty's abdication is true."
"But have you thought about it? The little prince is still so young. He doesn't have the ability to take charge at all. How can His Majesty rest assured and hand over the throne to him?"
"Even if he doesn't want to care about worldly affairs, does he have to wait until the little prince grows up?"
"Yes, I wonder what His Majesty is thinking."
People could not figure it out.
"Don't forget that there's still someone in the Imperial Capital?"
"Who?"
"Qin Feiyang!"
As soon as they heard the name Qin Feiyang, everyone immediately fell silent, and a trace of fear crept into their eyes.
"Back then, Qin Feiyang must have killed the princes for the throne."
"Because once the princes are dead, he will be the only heir. No one can compete with him."
"It makes sense. Although he was expelled from the Imperial Palace, he is still the Emperor's flesh and blood. If the Emperor has no children, he will definitely be considered when he abdicates."
"However, he is still one step behind. The Emperor and Empress gave birth to another Ryūko."
"That being said, the little prince is too weak. With Qin Feiyang's means, it will be a piece of cake for him to deal with him."
"I think there will definitely be a scene of brothers killing each other today …"
Just as the people were discussing, three figures suddenly appeared in the sky above the square.
"Prince Hao Tian, Empress Empress, and the State Preceptor have arrived!"
The chief eunuch shouted loudly.
The square immediately fell into a dead silence.
Everyone looked up at the three people.
At the moment, the three people were dressed very formally.
The State Preceptor wore a golden crown and a pale golden robe. He held his head high and his hands behind his back. His face was serious and he looked extraordinary.
The Empress was also wearing a phoenix robe, a phoenix crown, and a phoenix cloud on her shoulders, showing a luxurious aura.
The little prince was wearing a golden robe with a four-clawed golden dragon embroidered on it. It was very vivid.
However.
After all, the little prince was still young. Looking at the civil and military officials, the various vassals, and the people gathered around, there was a touch of panic on his little face that could not be concealed.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
"Greetings, Empress Empress."
"Greetings, State Preceptor!"
Zhuge Nanhua and Zhuge Wuhou looked at each other and both knelt down to kowtow.
Seeing this.
The other Wuhou, civil and military officials, as well as the surrounding people, immediately knelt down.
One must know.
At the moment, there were at least eight million people gathered in the first district.
With so many people speaking at the same time, what kind of scene was it?
The voices intertwined with one another and soared into the sky, shaking the Heavens!
The State Preceptor and the Empress enjoyed the feeling of being worshipped by the people and being high and mighty.
But the little prince was at a loss.
When the Empress noticed the little prince's situation, she whispered, "Haotian, let them rise."
"Oh."
The little prince nodded and stretched out his little hand, "Everyone, please rise."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Everyone bowed and stood up.
The Empress raised her eyebrows, squatted in front of the little prince and helped him tidy up his clothes, and whispered, "Haotian, what you said was wrong."
"What's wrong?"
The little prince's face was full of suspicion.
"No matter if you are a prince or an emperor, you can't say the word 'please' to the civil and military officials, or the people of the empire."
"Because this will make you lose your dignity, understand?"
Celestial Empress advised earnestly.
The little prince nodded his head as if he did not understand.
The State Preceptor at the side secretly sneered. The little prince was so young, how could he understand these things?
"Cough!"
The State Preceptor coughed and said, "Empress Empress, everyone is waiting, bring the little prince down first."
"Okay."
The Empress nodded, grabbed the little prince's hand, and landed in front of the dragon throne.
The State Preceptor also landed at the side, glanced at the officials and the people around, and did not want to waste any more time, so he nodded to the chief eunuch.
The chief eunuch understood, looked forward, and said loudly, "The ceremony begins!"
Everyone immediately quieted down.
The square was as silent as ashes.
The civil and military officials, as well as the marquises, were also divided into two camps, standing neatly on both sides of the dragon throne.
"Bring the holy water!"
The chief eunuch shouted again.
Immediately.
Two palace maids walked into the square.
One of the palace maids was holding a golden basin half filled with water, and as she walked, she created layers of waves.
The other palace maid was holding a golden tray, and on it was a neatly folded towel.
The void!
Lu Xingchen stood in the space divine item, looking at the little prince, the Empress, and the State Preceptor in the image, his eyes flickering.
Mu Qing looked at the golden basin in the palace maid's hand and asked in confusion, "My Lord, what is this holy water?"
Lu Xingchen was stunned and teased, "If I say that it can bring the dead back to life, will you believe it?"
"Of course!"
"Otherwise, why would it be called holy water?"
Mu Qing said.
Lu Xingchen was speechless for a moment, and shook his head, "The holy water is just dew collected in the morning."
"Uh!"
Mu Qing looked stunned.
"This is the so-called holy water?"
For a moment.
He was quite speechless.
"Why isn't Qin Feiyang here yet?"
Lu Xingchen looked at the image again and murmured.
Mu Qing said disdainfully, "Don't you know this bastard? He will definitely wait until the end and appear as the finale. "
Lu Xingchen was stunned, then shook his head with a smile, and murmured, "I don't know what he wants to do this time."
"It can't be anything good."
Mu Qing snorted coldly.
He had a lot of opinions about Qin Feiyang now.
Outside!
The two palace maids walked up to the little prince and bowed. "Greetings, Your Highness."
"Please …"
The little prince was about to say "please" again, but when he saw the Empress's eyes, he shrank his neck slightly and immediately changed his words, "Rise."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
The two of them thanked him respectfully.
But they didn't rise.
Instead, they knelt on the ground and handed the golden basin and towel to the little prince.
"This …"
The little prince looked at the golden basin and towel suspiciously, raised his little head, looked at the Empress, and asked, "Mother, what should I do?"
"Wash your hands."
"Then use the towel to wipe the water off your hands."
"This is a necessary step to worship the ancestors."
The Empress whispered.
"I see!"
The little prince smiled and immediately raised his two little hands and put them into the golden basin.
Then.
A shocking scene appeared.
The little prince suddenly became playful and played with the water in front of everyone. He was having a lot of fun.
After all, he was still a child and still had the innocence of a child.
But the State Preceptor's face gradually darkened when he saw this scene.
Seeing the change in the State Preceptor's face, the Empress quickly squatted down, grabbed the towel on the tray, and whispered, "Tian 'er, now is not the time to play. Raise your hands."
The little prince pursed his lips, raised his little hands, and put them in front of the Empress.
The Empress immediately used the towel to wipe the water off the little prince's hands, then put the towel back on the tray, and waved her hand, "You may leave!"
"Yes."
The two palace maids responded respectfully and turned to leave the square quickly.
The chief eunuch glanced at the State Preceptor's face and immediately shouted, "Burn the incense and worship the ancestors!"
Before his voice died away.
Another palace maid walked into the square with an exquisite tray in her hand, on which there were three finger-thick incense sticks and a candle.
When the palace maid walked up to the little prince with the tray in her hands, the little prince's face was filled with suspicion again.
The State Preceptor was extremely impatient, and said to the Emperor through telepathy, "This kid doesn't know anything. It's a waste of time. Bring him to burn the incense and worship the ancestors."
"Okay."
The Empress responded secretly, then grabbed the three incense sticks and lit them on the candle. Immediately, green smoke curled up.
Then.
The Empress pulled the little prince to the statue of the late Emperor, and knelt down and kowtowed nine times.
At this moment.
The civil and military officials, the Zhuge Liang, and the surrounding people also kowtowed to the statue.
