Chapter 466 - Ascending The Tiantai And Asking The Heaven! (1)
Those waiting at the Tiantai gradually felt ill at ease too… They watched as the sacrifice offerings, singing and dancing were about to be finished, and that it was the emperor\'s turn to ascend the Tianti and do his summonings.
However, the emperor found it strange. Supposedly, the ceremonial troop should be here by now. He wanted to ask someone to take a look when the master of ceremonies had already started hollering at the top of his lungs, "Let\'s welcome His Majesty to ascend the Tiantai and ask the heavens!"
When the common people heard this, they all kneeled down. The process of asking the heavens was very difficult, but the motive was simple. He was to ask the heavens whether conferring Gong Yimo as Princess Phoenix of the Glory was a suitable decision or not and if he should give her the same status as the crown prince. As long as the heavens didn\'t thunder or anything of the sort, the decision was passed.
It wasn\'t like the heavens would really give off a warning, so they were just going to walk through this process.
But at this time, the emperor was a bit restless. It was because when they just started, the weather became gloomy and he heard thunder. Because the direction of the wind wasn\'t facing the Tiantai, the people on the stairs didn\'t feel any wind at all. They could only see the weather turning dark. It wasn\'t even afternoon yet, but it was dark as if it was the evening. Gong Cheng subconsciously looked at the empress dowager when he ascended the Tiantai as a result.
The empress dowager seemed very shocked when she looked at the sky too. However, she was shocked not because of the weather, but because that person really predicted the weather!
Seeing that so many people were looking at him, Gong Cheng couldn\'t stall either. Therefore, he walked up the Tiantai. First, he spared the officials and their family members as well as the common people\'s salutations. Then, he glanced at the numerous people downstairs and then read the prayers for sacrifice.
There were a lot of procedures, so it took a long time. Therefore, Gong Cheng hoped that before he finished this, Gong Yimo could arrive in time. No matter what, she couldn\'t miss the auspicious time because the moment she missed it, trouble would descend!
Those people would refuse to let her ascend the Tiantai and host the ceremony once again because they\'d say that the heavens refused to acknowledge Gong Yimo.
Even if she regained her position in the end, she wouldn\'t be the phoenix of glory, but another title. Don\'t mention having the same status as the crown prince as well!
Therefore, Mo\'er, please hurry up!
At this time, Gong Jue as well as the other princes and princesses had to stand under the Tiantai. However, they still hadn\'t seen any sign of the ceremonial troop. Gong Jue was a bit anxious, and gave Bai Sheng a look who was in the crowd. Bai Sheng received the look and hurried off.
At this time, the man clad in gray was furious with Gong Yimo\'s arrogance.
He had practiced and learned martial arts for at least forty years, yet he was being mocked by a little girl right now. This was unprecedented!
Before coming, he had heard others say that Gong Yimo had okay martial arts skills. But he thought that no matter how strong, she couldn\'t be as strong as him. She was only seventeen. What abilities could she have?
Yet, Gong Yimo disregarded the leading officials and the sword flashed past, slashing the golden silk curtains in front of her. She broke the taboo in the end and stood in front of everyone.
The man clad in gray felt solemn for a moment after feeling her reserved temperament.
Right after, Gong Yimo jumped down from the sedan chair and landed on the ground lightly. She wore glamorous clothes and she appeared beautiful, wearing a crown. At the same time, her aura was also pressing!
In the end, her clothes were too troublesome. Although she took off the outer layer and tossed it inside the sedan chair, she still wore too many layers. It was very inconvenient for her.
However, she couldn\'t take off her clothes. Even if she didn\'t care, she needed to mind the people\'s gazes. If she really just wore traditional clothes like she did normally at home, these superficial people would drown her in saliva from their cursings!
