For a moment, all the officials bowed their heads and knelt down, with respectful expressions, and the atmosphere was even more solemn.

"Stay flat!" The emperor gave an order, and all the talents got up one after another.

Seeing that the auspicious time had come, Si Tianjian said something to Eunuch Liu in a low voice.After Eunuch Liu asked the emperor for instructions, he shouted loudly: "Please ask the emperor and queen to go up to the altar and pray for the people."

The emperor and the empress respectively received three huge sticks of incense from the servants, held the three sticks of incense, climbed to the highest point of the altar with three steps and one knock, knelt down in front of the tablet of the Emperor of Heaven to offer incense, and then returned to the middle level for three rows. Kneeling down and kowtowing nine times, offering jade silk and offering wine, followed by a long series of gorgeous and profound blessings, and finally throwing them into the brazier respectfully as a sacrifice to God.

Under the sacrificial platform, the officials and their descendants who accompanied the sacrifice stood in place, knelt and kowtowed following the rhythm of the emperor's three steps and one kowtow.In this way, more than an hour has passed.

But the sacrifice to heaven is not over yet. Next, the emperors, queens, ministers and even everyone present must kneel down and wait for the revelation from the heavens. Only then can it be considered that the heavens have heard their prayers and will continue to bless the people of Dayu!

Everyone knelt on the ground and waited quietly. This time is the most difficult time, because I don’t know when the heavens will give us enlightenment. Apart from waiting, there is only waiting...

Time passed like this bit by bit, but the sky never changed a bit, and at this moment, the most anxious person was probably the Si Tianjian. If the sky remained unchanged, then today's sacrifice to the sky would become a joke.Si Tianjian was already sweating profusely from anxiety, but after more than an hour, the sky remained the same.

Nangong Yue had already knelt down until her legs were numb, as if they were not hers anymore, and her back was drenched with sweat.

Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of a blue-shirted girl in the front left and fainted.The people around naturally noticed it, and the defenses of several girls were instantly defeated by this, and two more girls were blinded and fainted to the ground.

Normally, this would probably cause a commotion, but at this moment, no one moved, and everyone was still kneeling on the ground motionless.The surrounding maids, servants, maids and others dare not come up to help, it is a capital offense to disturb Jitian!

Nangong Yue looked at Nangong Teng who was kneeling on her right, and was a little worried that she would not be able to hold on. She usually rides a horse for exercise, and her bones are much stronger than Nangong Teng's.

As expected, Nangong Cheng's pretty face was pale, and her delicate body had already started to tremble slightly, but she still gritted her teeth for support.She weakly hooked the corners of her lips to Nangong Yue, which meant that she was okay.

When Nangong Yue turned her head, her gaze happened to meet Xiao Yi who was in the front right. He was separated from her by a row, and there were more than ten people apart, at least ten feet away, but even so, the two looked at each other. At that time, Nangong Yue could still clearly see the deep worry in Xiao Yi's eyes, her heart warmed up, and a smile appeared on her face involuntarily.

She nodded slightly to him, indicating that she was fine.

At this moment, a cool wind blew on her cheeks, followed by a servant shouting in a shrill voice: "The cloud has dispersed, the heavens heard it!"

Everyone looked up, and saw that the sky that was originally covered with white clouds revealed a lot of blue, and the white clouds gradually spread out in all directions. The scorching sun that was originally blocked by the clouds finally revealed its true face of Mount Lu, facing the earth without hesitation. Casting a scorching light...

Normally, those noble ladies kneeling on the ground would think that the sun would tan their skin, but at this moment, they couldn't think of that, and only felt that the boulder in their hearts had finally fallen.
