Translator: 549690339
The worship of the ancestors in the longevity Palace ended very quickly.
The real highlight was the Imperial mausoleum outside the city. After all, it was also an important time to appease the people.
Every year, the imperial family’s sacrifice to heaven was a good time to comfort the people.
The Emperor brought the princes and concubines to offer incense.
Noble consort Lin was still carrying the little princess who was only two months old.
After a short while, the little princess began to cry. Noble consort Lin’s willowy brows furrowed slightly, and the maidservant behind her hurriedly reached out to carry the child out.
“It is likely that the smell of the incense in the hall is too pungent and the little princess can not stand it.” Imperial concubine Lin said softly. There were rumors spreading in the great Zhou Dynasty that some great evil had descended.
No one was willing to get into trouble at this time.
The Emperor glanced at her. In just a few months, the Emperor seemed to have aged a little.
Previously, he looked thin and handsome. Although he was a middle-aged man, he was extremely elegant.
Her face had gained a lot of weight in the past few months, and her belly had also grown.
There was also a strange pill fragrance on his body.
The Crown Prince glanced at him. His face was indifferent, but his eyes were deep.
The emperor’s body was only a little weak, but it was not a serious illness. It would not be a problem for him to live for another 20 or 30 years. However, at this rate, he probably wouldn’t be able to hold on for long.
He constantly used medicinal pills to stimulate the potential in his body. The potential that was stimulated seemed to be full of vitality for a while, but it was actually pulling up seedlings to help them grow.
For example, at this moment, he felt that he was full of energy. However, his deeply sunken eye sockets were already showing some clues.
Seeing his high-spirited appearance, the Crown Prince frowned.
He had already handed over a portion of his power over to the Emperor. One reason was to keep Lulu company, and the other was to hand his authority over to the Emperor.
For some things, at certain times, honey could be poison.
“It’s been seven or eight years since I’ve hosted the worship, right?” The Emperor only felt that he had endless strength and looked at the great prince with a satisfied expression.
The elixir of the feather deity was indeed useful.
“Your Majesty’s health is great and the commoners are happy. His Highness the Crown Prince is still young, and he was able to hold up the court before he was even ten years old. Now, he can finally relax.” Noble consort Lin stood on the emperor’s left, while the Empress stood on his right.
However, the Empress did not fawn on him at all from the beginning to the end, and even asked about his well-being less.
“It has been hard on Yi ‘an these years. With Imperial father well, Yi ‘an can also have a good life and recuperate.” “It’s probably the blessings of our ancestors,” the great prince said softly.
The Emperor was more and more satisfied. He raised his hand, and Noble consort Lin obediently helped him up.
The Crown Prince and Empress were half a step behind, as if they had taken a step back in front of the emperor’s Majesty.
“It’s time to leave the palace and worship the heavens.” The head eunuch sang loudly.
The crowd respectfully welcomed the Emperor and walked out of the palace.
The civil and military officials sneaked a glance behind them. The Emperor was making it even more obvious that he wanted to take back his power.
But His Highness was growing up day by day, what should he do?
The Crown Prince was very calm, but eunuch Lu felt somewhat humiliated.
Back then, the great Zhou was plagued with internal and external problems. His Majesty was indecisive and could not support the court. His Highness, who was only seven or eight years old, had stepped on countless blood to establish his prestige and intimidate everyone.
Now that His Majesty had recovered, he began to guard against His Highness and tried to regain his power.
He threw it away after using it, looking like a heartless loser.
However, His Highness’s face was calm, so he did not dare to say anything.
However, he was also a little curious as he looked at the Empress. If it was in the past, the Empress would have stood firmly in front of the Emperor and sworn her identity, never letting noble consort Lin take any advantage of her.
The Crown Prince glanced at his mother, while the Empress was in a daze.
Lulu said that he’s going to die soon.. He’s going to die soon, so how can this Prince still have a good impression of him?
