During the third year of An, the Sheng'an saintess of Ningxia State married Ao Yuguo, and the two countries married and celebrated together.

In the following year, the crown prince of Ao Yu ascended the throne, and the crown princess Sheng'an was crowned as the queen of Sheng'an, and in the same year, the queen of Sheng'an gave birth to two daughters, the eldest princess was named Ruonuan, and the second princess was named Ruoshui.

Both princesses are saints, so Empress Sheng'an will choose a princess to succeed the saints, and when they reach the age of three, the selected princess will return to Ningxia as the new saint of Ningxia Town.

Everyone thinks that the eldest princess should inherit the identity of the saint, but Empress Sheng'an announced in public at the birthday banquet of the two princesses that the second princess Ruoshui is talented and can take on great responsibilities, and will be sent back to Ningxia as a new saint, and Empress Sheng'an will accompany the new saint to return to China and personally hold a ceremony for her to inherit the saint.

The news spread all over the world, and various countries sent envoys one after another to show their goodwill. There is a legend in the Western Regions, the Holy Maiden of Ningxia is the messenger of God, when the first Holy Maiden of Yong'an came to Ningxia, a torrential rain fell in Ningxia with a perennial drought, and the cracked land became full of vitality in just one night, and grain grew in the fields, and spring water emerged in the mountains, saving countless people of Ningxia, which was really a miracle.

Not only that, as long as the saint is in Ningxia for a day, Ningxia has always been in good weather, there are no natural disasters, and the country and the people are safe.

People say that there is a Ningxia saint to protect a piece of land.

The mighty procession set off from the country of Ao Xu, the momentum was huge, and went straight to the country of Ningxia, the army passed by the place where there were people, those people would bow and worship, ask for the blessing of the holy woman, everyone knew that the escort in the team was the most noble woman of the country of Ao and Ningxia, Queen Sheng'an and Princess Ruoshui.

When Chen Qinghuan opened her eyes, she found that she was standing on a large round platform, the surface of which was engraved with incomprehensible symbols, and there was a pool of crystal clear spring water in the center of the platform.

In addition to herself, there was a beautiful woman in red dress, this woman was breathtakingly beautiful, she had never seen such a beautiful woman.

Empress Sheng An stood next to her and said loudly to the sky: "Meet the Holy Maiden of Qinghuan, may the Holy Maiden be in eternal peace." ”

The people in the audience kowtowed in unison and said in unison, "Meet the Holy Maiden of Qinghuan, may the Holy Maiden be safe forever." ”

Just now, Dao Ruoshui officially inherited the position of the saint.

Chen Qinghuan's mind was flooded with memories of Ruoshui, and the memories were like water pouring into the balloon, which gave people a headache. She didn't dare to think about it for a while, she only remembered what had happened a moment ago, that is, she had drunk the holy water from the holy spring.

The water was scooped by Empress Sheng An in full view of everyone, and then a drop of holy blood was dropped in her fingertips and handed to Ruoshui with her own hands, which was part of the ceremony.

It's just that I didn't expect that after drinking the water, I immediately suffered a cardiac arrest and was powerless.

Dao Ruoshui died, I don't know how she was poisoned, and now it is Chen Qinghuan who is standing here intact, she took over her life, and no one around noticed her abnormality.

Chen Qinghuan forced himself to calm down, and held his breath until the end of the entire Holy Maiden Inheritance Ceremony.

At the end of the ceremony, Empress Sheng'an sent the Holy Maiden of Qinghuan back to the hall, the Holy Maiden Hall is not inferior to the emperor's bedroom, the golden wall outside the hall is brilliant, very spectacular, the hall is more mahogany, more exotic, the walls on both sides are painted with flying goddesses, all of them are enchanting and colorful, Chen Qinghuan looked at it and saw it intently.

Empress Sheng An sat on the seat of the saint, raised her hand and waved away the palace people, and for a time there were only the two of them left in the huge saint's hall.

Without outsiders, Queen Sheng An no longer pretends to be arrogant, she is just an ordinary mother at this moment, "Ruoshui ......" saw her eyes with tears, changed her posture of being a mother in the world, and suddenly hugged Chen Qinghuan without honor, whimpering, "The queen mother is sorry for you." ”

Chen Qinghuan had just come to her senses, and she didn't know which one it was, so she quickly entered the role and comforted her: "What is the queen mother, Qinghuan is very good." ”

Sheng An let go of his embrace when he heard this, looked at her carefully, and couldn't stop his tears, like a broken pearl, hiding his face and muttering: "I'm sorry Qing'er......"

The name Qing'er once again evoked the memory of Dao Ruoshui.

The Qing'er in her mouth is a vague existence in her memory, and Chen Qinghuan thought about it carefully before remembering that Qing'er was the bride-in-waiting of Queen Sheng'an and Ruoshui's biological mother.

This is what she heard from the palace maid.

On the day of Sheng An and Dao Zongyu's wedding, Dao Zongyu did not enter the marriage room, but got drunk, and pampered Sheng An's maid Qing'er, and soon after Qing'er and Sheng An were found to be pregnant with a dragon fetus, nine months later, the two gave birth to a child in the same day, and each gave birth to a daughter, but Qing'er unfortunately died in childbirth.

The eldest princess Ruonuan is the biological daughter of Queen Sheng'an, and Ruoshui is just the daughter of a maid, Sheng Anxin is kind, and pity Qing'er who grew up with her, in order to let Ruoshui have a decent identity, she asked the emperor to hide the matter and announce that the queen gave birth to two daughters.

The more Chen Qinghuan recalled, the more confused he became, this Queen Sheng'an was too good to herself? She was not raised by her own life, and she chose a saint or a biological daughter, and now she was heartbroken and said sorry, I don't understand, I don't understand.

Seeing Sheng An crying heavily, she was at a loss, there was no cause or effect, and she didn't know how to comfort her.

What made Chen Qinghuan even more incomprehensible was who wanted to kill Ruoshui? A saint who is deeply loved by the whole world, everyone can't wait to hold it in the palm of her hand to take care of her, and she has no grudges against others, how can she get into trouble?

The enemy is dark and I am clear, I can't figure out this matter, she has less guarantee for her own survival, Chen Qinghuan pressed her temples in distress, it seems that other people's lives are not so easy, I finally opened this door, I became a princess, and I died for some reason, it was really a miserable princess.

"The Lord of the Kingdom has arrived—" A voice sounded in the distance.

Sheng An was stunned, "The lord of the country is here." ”

Wave after wave, thinking that it was the lord of Ningxia who came to see the new saint, Chen Qinghuan was nervous, and hurriedly took a few deep breaths, Sheng An stopped crying, calmly took out a handkerchief to wipe his face, and sorted out his demeanor.

"Squeak-" The door opened, and a tall bearded man stood with his back lit, walking quickly towards them, he was wearing a black and red tiger striped robe, looking majestic and extraordinary, followed by a group of bent palace people, waiting neatly on both sides.

Sheng An went to greet him and said, "Hua Xi greets the lord of the country, and the lord of the country is Yong'an." "Hua Xi is Sheng An's name.

"I have seen the Holy Maiden of Qinghuan, the Holy Maiden Yong'an. ”

The voices of Sheng An and the lord of the country sounded at the same time, Chen Qinghuan reacted immediately, and bent down and bowed his head in the posture of Sheng An: "Meet the lord of the country, the lord of the country will be Yong'an." ”

"Holy Maiden, please. The lord touched his beard, then walked straight and sat down, stretched out his hand, and said, "Holy Maiden, please take a seat." ”

Chen Qinghuan looked at Sheng An, Sheng An was speechless, so she listened to the words of the lord and sat down, and after she sat down, Sheng An also sat next to her.

Chen Qinghuan had never seen this big scene, and pinched his thigh meat to make himself calm and sober.

The lord of the country sighed lightly, looking like he wanted to say and stopped, which made Chen Qinghuan even more restless, Sheng An smiled on his face, and suddenly said coldly: "The day of the Holy Maiden Qinghuan's departure has been set?"

Where are you going? Chen Qinghuan's eyebrows furrowed together.

The lord's face froze, he covered his mouth and coughed, and waved his hand at the palace people: "You all go down." ”

After the palace people left, he replied, "Three days later." ”

"The courtiers brought several boxes of things to buy the dowry of the saint, including two coral blood bells, a glass bottle, ten green jade snake galls, and a desert snow fox. ”

"Sheng An, these are the national treasures of Ningxia, I remember, it was given to you by the queen of the country when you got married, you want to give it to the Qinghuan Holy Maiden today, this is not appropriate. ”

"Huh. Sheng Anpi didn't smile, "What the lord of the country said, but the courtiers thought that the queen of the country gave the courtiers these precious things, as a dowry for the courtiers to marry Ao Yu in order to marry, and today the Qinghuan Holy Daughter went to Ningxia to marry Yanguo, and the courtiers transferred it to her, which is natural. ”

Suddenly, the atmosphere became tense, and the lord of the country violently slapped the case, angrily reprimanding: "Presumptuous—is this what you should say! If you don't marry at that time, Yanguo will destroy me Ningxia and Ao Yu one by one." Sheng An, Yanguo is warlike and has coveted our country for a long time, don't you know, Ningxia gave birth to you and raised you, so that you can be admired by all the people, what you say today, do you want to see Ningxia perish for your own selfish interests!"

"The courtier's daughter has no regrets when she marries, but you know that Yanguo is eyeing Ningxia Ao Yu and the two countries, his purpose is not to marry at all, this battle will be fought sooner or later, if the water passes, it will be a sheep into the tiger's mouth!"

The two spoke fiercely, they argued, the lord of the country was so angry that he almost smashed the wooden table, Chen Qinghuan listened attentively, and he didn't dare to come out, and he understood his current situation when he heard this.

Now she knows that there are three countries, Ningxia, Ao Xu, and Yanguo, she is the saint of Ningxia and the princess of Ao Xu, and now she wants to represent the two countries to marry Yanguo.

"Empress Sheng An knows very well, so the tanuki will change the prince and let the maid's daughter suffer for your daughter. ”

"Nonsense!" This remark hit the nail on the head, poking Sheng An's sore spot, she was so angry that she covered her chest, and hurriedly explained to Chen Qinghuan again and again, "Ruoshui, it's not like this......"

The lord of the country did not give up, "The Holy Daughter of Qinghuan is the Holy Daughter of my Ningxia, but she is also the princess of Ao Xu, is it only me Ningxia who benefits after marriage?

"But she's only three years old......" Sheng An's momentum plummeted, as if talking to himself.

Seeing that they were at a stalemate, Chen Qinghuan, who had been silent, finally interrupted: "Queen Mother, Lord of the Kingdom, Qinghuan is willing to go to Yanguo." She knelt in the center of the temple with her head bowed, and her immature voice was sonorous and powerful, to show her determination, "Please calm the anger of the lord of the country, please calm the anger of the queen mother." ”

"The lord of the country cares about the people, worries about the country and thinks of the people, he is really a good monarch, the queen mother loves her son, Qing Huan is very moved, Qing Huan is fortunate to contribute to the country, he will not evade my responsibility, he will be careful in Yanguo, and he will not let you worry, so please stop arguing about this matter between the lord and the queen mother, Qing Huan is small, and Ningxia is a big peace. "They are all people above 10,000 people, no matter how much they quarrel, anyway, it must be Chen Qinghuan who suffers in the end, she knows it.

The little figure knelt and shrunk into a ball, Sheng An helped her up, the more sensible she was, the more Sheng An's pain became, her heart was ashamed and painful, she closed her eyes and didn't want to face it, nodded, and said no more.

The lord's face moved slightly, touched his beard and sighed: "The holy woman is really smart, so sensible, it is my joy in Ningxia, Sheng An, you teach well." ”

"That's it. Sheng An also relented, the matter was a foregone conclusion, and she knew that she could not do anything.

In this short time of tea, Chen Qinghuan was so exhausted that he sat down in his chair and didn't want to move.

The lord of the kingdom left the temple of the saints and ordered the palace people to come in and wash the saints, and that there would be a feast for the saints in the evening, and the saints must appear solemnly.

The palace maids were busy tossing Chen Qinghuan, she didn't need to make any effort, she could finally take a breath, even if she was adaptable, she couldn't bear such an exciting crossing, the whole person was in a trance, until she sat in front of the mirror and looked at the little girl carved in it, she had a sense of reality.

When night falls, the lanterns are lit in the palace, the lights of ten thousand homes are very good-looking, the temple of the Holy Maiden is especially brilliantly lit, the palace people hurriedly carry the wine pot fruit plate dishes to the palace, and the sedan chairs outside the palace one after another stop one after another, the ladies who are dressed up in a glorious and moving way talk and laugh, and sit down in greetings.

The ministers first handed over congratulatory gifts, toasted each other, and said polite words with their mouths, and the hall was particularly bright, reflecting the grand scene of singing and dancing, and the word saint was indispensable to everyone's conversation.
