The day of the festival has finally come, and unlike ten years ago, almost all the people who participated in the ceremony this time had ulterior motives. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Emperor Jin Xiang has not had a good face since he appeared, and what has happened in the past few days has really made him very angry, even such a grand festival has not made him calm down a little. And the queen and Jin Qiao have always looked like they are watching a good show, and this year's sacrificial ceremony is destined to not be peaceful.

The outside of the altar was already kneeling with the pious Dayuan people, who would meet Shao Siming for the first time today, the legendary woman with the eye of God. And in order to show respect for the high priest, almost all the women wore pear blossom makeup, after all, without it, they would not have the peaceful life they have now.

And in the palace, the Ministry of Rites had already sent a large number of people to greet the high priest and Shao Si Ming outside the Wuyang Palace, and before leaving, Shao Si Ming suddenly said that the hair ornament on his head had fallen off, so he asked people to go into the Wuyang Palace to help find it.

Because the priestly attire of the sacrificial ceremony is very particular, everything is indispensable, and of course the Ministry of Rites knows that this is not a simple problem, although it is in awe, but still go in together. It was at this time that Jin Ling, who had already changed his clothes, successfully mixed into the salute team, and then the hairpin that "disappeared unexpectedly" was found.

The order of the ceremonial team is also exquisite, the first is the emperor's sedan chair, then the Wuyang Palace, then the queen, and then the princes and princesses.

After leaving the palace, Fei Tong opened the curtain and took a look, she had never seen such a big battle, and she was worried about Jin Ling, so she was a little nervous.

Sensing her abnormality, he naturally took her hand, "Are you afraid?"

Fei Hitomi was obviously stunned, in her memory, the master had never hugged herself, and the number of such intimate actions could be counted with one pair of hands.

She shook her head, and after a while spoke expectantly, "Master...... May I ask you for one thing?"

Say. ”

"I ...... I would like to ask you to calculate the future of Jin Ling......"

After she finished saying this, she was deeply stung, and after being silent for a long time, she smiled helplessly, and said helplessly: "Hitomi, there is something I have never told anyone, in fact, ...... Fifteen years ago, I had lost the ability to foresee destiny. ”

What does it mean for non-pupils to involuntarily dilate and lose the ability to predict destiny?

"How so?"

Instead, he closed his eyes and exhaled, and then slowly opened his eyes, "That's why I want you to choose well, the high priest is the high priest, once you have love, then you can no longer be the high priest." ”

"What do you mean by that......

Looking at her meaningfully, she was wearing a solemn and holy priestly dress in black and gold, and her face was covered with a thin veil, just like her back then.

She didn't understand, but she didn't know how to explain it, and if she had been told that when the High Priest became pregnant, she would have lost her talent, and she would have understood the mystery of it, but she was the last thing she wanted to talk about.

So she didn't plan to continue, "If you don't understand, forget it, since you have chosen the path of the high priest, you don't need to know." ”

Fei Tong seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and his heart was already turbulent, could it be that the master had been silent for more than ten years because he did not have the ability to predict the destiny of heaven......

But since Master didn't want to say anything more, then she wouldn't ask any more.

It was Yin Qian who was in charge of greeting him at the altar today, and it would have been Yin Zheng, but because of the events of the previous day, the emperor didn't want to see him, so he was replaced by Yin Qian.

That day, when Yin Zheng confessed everything and forced Yin Qian to choose a position, Yin Qian chose to save the country by curve, and on the surface he still stood on the side of the prince, but his heart never changed, and that day He Yu came to make trouble Yin Zheng also took this opportunity to test him. Fortunately, he calmed down at the time and did not show his feet, which won his trust.

When the procession reached the altar, the kneeling people began to chant "Long live the emperor" and "High Priest Yong'an".

The emperor got out of the sedan chair and was helped step by step onto the altar, and the moment Fei Fei Hitomi appeared in everyone's sight, the scene was almost boiling.

Especially Fei Hitomi, who is wearing a priest's robe, although she is veiled today, her temperament is natural, and she exudes coldness and arrogance.

Jin Ling also looked at her silently in the crowd, thinking that she was about to separate, and her heart was full of mixed feelings.

Yin Qian noticed Jin Ling early on, two people who used to have such a tacit understanding, they didn't need to talk much to understand each other's thoughts.

He hinted at him many times and told him to hurry up, but Jin Ling's eyes were locked on one person, and he couldn't take his eyes off.

Yin Qian began to be anxious in his heart, but he couldn't show any clues on the surface, after all, the queen and Jin Qiao would be staring at him today.

At this time, there was another pair of eyes that were also looking at Fei Tong, Zhao Han was indeed a little surprised when he looked at her dress today, thinking about the recklessness she showed because she was in a hurry when she first saw her, and then when Wuyang Palace was clamped by him and couldn't move, she was really amazing today, and a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

After everyone was in place, the drums of the sacrifice ceremony began to sound, and the cries of the people soon stopped, and the whole scene began to be solemn.

Jin Xiang walked to the center of the altar and waved his big hand, "Smoke ritual!" (In ancient times, smoke worship was an important step when entering incense and worshipping the sky. )

Immediately after speaking, someone brought up a wrist-thick incense, and the steps of lighting incense have always been done by the high priest and the emperor together. Although Fei Tong is the officiant of today's ceremony, after all, Fei Ran is the high priest of Dayuan, so it is right and wrong to stand up.

Just when she was about to light incense, the queen suddenly shouted, "Slow"!

Everyone didn't know why, and the emperor was even more angry, "Presumptuous, how can you be so rude at such a moment?!"

The queen walked to the center of the altar and suddenly knelt down, "Your Majesty, the concubine has something to make clear, this matter is related to the reputation of Dayuan, and it is also related to the fortune of the country!"

"If there is anything to talk about when you go back to the palace, if you continue to be presumptuous, don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless!"

The queen was unmoved, she still looked awe-inspiring and fearless, "The matter of the concubine must be said now, and even more so in front of the Great Yuan! The high priest of the Great Yuan is not worthy of the smoke ceremony at all!"

As soon as these words came out, the people were stunned, and then they questioned, the high priest is the symbol of the Great Yuan, she is not worthy, so who is worthy?

Jin Ling cast a puzzled look at Yin Qian from afar, but Yin Qian didn't know what the situation was at all, so he could only shake his head slightly.

He suddenly had a bad feeling.
