After finally arriving in the eastern suburbs, Gu Yu was very hungry. When she looked at the people next to her, they all looked as dishonest as she did.
It's okay to be hungry, but it's not okay to be disrespectful on such an important day.
They are like this, and so are the Holy Emperor and Queen Xu.
Gu Yu took advantage of others not paying attention, blocked it with her sleeves, and secretly stuffed a Mi San Dao into her mouth to replenish her strength.
When she looked up, she saw Junze looking at her teasingly.
Even though there were many people stealing food, Gu Yu couldn't help but her ears turned red when she was caught.
Unexpectedly, Junze also put something in his mouth while Gu Yu was looking at him, which relieved Gu Yu's embarrassment of eating secretly.
This person is really...
I don't know what to say.
But after chewing the honey for three times, Gu Yu's mouth was filled with sweetness.
The Holy Father and Queen Xu stood on the altar and began to recite a long and smelly prayer.
After he finally finished reciting, everyone got sickles in their hands and walked into the farmland.
Now is the harvest season, and the fragrance of rice is overflowing.
The Holy Father held the sickle, cut off a handful of wheat, and put it into the tray.
Empress Xu hugged her belly and was tremblingly helped down to the farmland by the palace staff, and cut off a cluster of wheat with a sickle.
The wheat of the Holy Emperor and the Queen was bundled together and placed on the altar for people to look up and worship.
This is called experiencing the sufferings of the people and harvesting the harvest together with the people.
People from the Ministry of Rites had long taught the officials who came to attend the Autumn Sacrifice how to cut wheat, but for Gu Yu, what the Ministry of Rites taught was not as good as the standard he remembered from his previous life.
But the moment she held the sickle, the unfamiliar behavior still made her sigh. She was used to living a pampered life, and she had never done any menial work in her life.
Gu Yu, wearing heavy sacrificial clothes, cut off a bunch of wheat and put it on the tray.
The wheat cut by the officials will be harvested together, and when it is processed later, a handful will be distributed to each official.
After returning home, Gu Yu will still have to pay tribute for a while.
Then the imperial master of Qintianjian was asked to perform the ritual on the altar.
Lighting fires, praying, singing and dancing, pouring wine, all pretending to be magicians and magicians are no different.
It's just that the Imperial Master's methods are more sophisticated.
In Gu Yu's opinion, this set of operations was not as smooth and smooth as Junze's at Jinyi Villa.
Thinking of this, Gu Yu subconsciously looked at Junze again.
He never expected to run into Junze's smiling peach blossom eyes again.
Gu Yu couldn't help but feel angry, what was wrong with her.
Always watch what that person does.
Gu Yu felt agitated and restrained herself from looking in Junze's direction.
By the time a tedious and complicated procedure was completed, it had already passed from early morning to afternoon, and everyone, including the Holy One, was hungry.
The Holy Father then placed food in the woods outside the altar.
On the surface, they were coarse grains and wild vegetables for ordinary people, but Gu Yu could tell that the rice was the finest Zengcheng silk rice, known as jasper among rice.
This wild vegetable tofu is also carefully made by the top royal chefs in the imperial kitchen. It is silky and tender, without any beany smell, and tastes like meat brains in your mouth.
Despite this, Queen Xu only took a few bites and then put it down.
The Holy Father didn't say much when he saw it.
After eating every meal and dish, Gu Yu regained some strength.
After eating, the Holy Father said some more words about respecting heaven and protecting the people, and then everyone prepared to go back to the palace.
The Holy Master had already entered the chariot, and Gu Yu stood in the queue, waiting for the attendant to bring the horse over.
At this moment, a bear roar came from the distance, causing the expressions of everyone present to change.
"Escort!"
The crowd started to panic. Although this was not an altar, it was still near the altar. Someone should have cleared the scene in advance. Why would there be such a beast as a bear?
While I was thinking, a brown bear nearly three meters tall roared from the jungle.
The holy eagle guard is not qualified to come here to participate in the autumn ceremony. They are waiting at a distance. Now the holy ministers are following the holy ministers.
Although there were some highly skilled martial artists like Jun Ze and Gu Yu among them, they all took off their weapons because they came to participate in the sacrifice.
Only Lieutenant Shao had a heavy sword on his back, and he stood on the Holy Master's chariot in a defensive posture.
Gu Yu was wearing heavy sacrificial clothes and was unarmed, so she couldn't help but become nervous.
Seeing that the brown bear had injured several people, Lieutenant Shao, who was beside the emperor, shouted again: "Escort! Go and stop the bear!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the chariots of the Holy Emperor and Queen Xu drove forward, leaving behind a group of unarmed officials.
As the bear got closer and closer, more and more officials fell, and Gu Yu gradually realized that something was wrong.
The bear injured so many people, but it still didn't stop and ran straight towards her.
Could it be that the brown bear is targeting her!
Seeing that the bear was about to attack him, Gu Yu had no time to think about whose handiwork this was.
She glanced at the Holy Emperor's chariot behind her and the condor guards rushing in from all around, with a fierce look in her eyes.
Wealth and wealth are found in danger.
Gu Yu shouted loudly: "Escort me!"
She used her inner strength to force her voice to make sure that the people around her, as well as the Holy One sitting in the chariot, could hear it.
Jun Ze, who was on the side, naturally heard this voice. He saw Gu Yu taking off his heavy sacrificial clothes and heading towards the brown bear.
She doesn't want her life!
Gu Yu held the sacrificial robe, turned over, stepped on the tree trunk beside him, and waved the sacrificial robe towards the bear's head.
The bear was blinded and roared again, causing the fallen leaves in the forest to fall.
Some timid officials were so frightened that they fainted, and some even had weak legs and feet. They couldn't even stand up, let alone run away.
The bear couldn't see anything clearly, roared and tore Gu Yu's sacrificial clothes to pieces.
Knowing that it was Gu Yu who was causing trouble just now, he even ignored the fallen officials and ran straight towards Gu Yu.
Gu Yu saw that the Divine Eagle Guards were already swarming over, but they didn't just care about the bear and the officials in danger, but all rushed towards the Holy Shang.
Seeing that the bear was completely irritated by her, Gu Yu gritted her teeth and ran towards the Holy Shang.
But the officials were like headless flies, screaming in fear and slowing down Gu Yu's pace.
Just when Gu Yu was about to run towards the Eagle Guard, the bear's thick claws attacked Gu Yu.
This claw could kill Gu Yu half his life.
She looked at the bear in horror, with its ferocious and furious look reflected in her eyes. She had already thought about how she should land after being photographed by the bear, and how she should run away again.
The premise is that she can still stand up.
However, the bear's eye was hit by something in mid-air and it staggered, giving Gu Yubo a moment of hope.
He pulled away and found that Junze had thrown something like a small stone.
The bear's anger had reached its peak, but instead of attacking Junze, he attacked Gu Yu again.
Gu Yu was even more certain that this bear was coming for her.
At this time, Junze also took off his sacrificial clothes, stepped on the brown bear's back, and covered the brown bear's head with the sacrificial clothes.
Just like what Gu Yu did, this time the brown bear cleverly tore open the sacrificial clothes, turned its thick bear paws, and slapped Junze's body.
Gu Yu watched helplessly as Junze's body was blown away by the kite like a kite with its string broken.
Junze lay on the ground and struggled for a while, but still couldn't get up.
