9 Holy Maiden 2
The drums sounded, the lord of the country arrived, Sheng An and Chen Qinghuan followed behind the lord of the country, and slowly walked into the banquet, "The lord of the country has arrived-Qinghuan Holy Maiden has arrived-"
Everyone present stood up together, their eyes focused on Chen Qinghuan, Sheng An and Chen Qinghuan were both wearing blood-colored gold-patterned robes, in Ningxia, blood-colored gold-patterned robes represented supreme dignity, only the queen of the country and the saint could wear it like this.
"Meet the lord of the country, meet the holy daughter of Qinghuan, may the lord of the country and the holy woman be in eternal peace. β
"Sit down. β
"Thank you, Lord of the country. β
The lord of the country walked up the steps and sat on the tiger robe chair in the center, while Chen Qinghuan stood in the center of the hall, holding a snow-white and flawless five-petal holy flower, ready to complete the final ceremony.
The holy flower is bright and shining with a faint holy light, and the girl is holding the holy flower, which is really like a fairy child descending to earth, which makes people feel awe. The envoys of other countries present here have never seen a saint, but when they saw the saint's demeanor today, they wanted to bow and worship after seeing this scene.
Chen Qinghuan held the flower and closed his eyes, pointed the holy flower to the sky three times, begged for the wind and rain to be smooth, went to the place three times, begged for no disaster and no difficulty, and finally nodded three times to the lord of the country, asking for peace and security for the country and the people.
"Thank you, Holy Maidenβ"
After the ceremony, the lord raised his glass and celebrated: "This first cup of wine, salute the holy daughter of Qinghuan." β
Everyone stood up again and toasted together, "Respect the Holy Maiden of Qinghuan." β
Being watched by all the eyes, Chen Qinghuan's demeanor was indifferent, unfazed, and after walking around, he sat down with the holy flower in his hand, and his gestures were not like a three-year-old child, and everyone couldn't help whispering, feeling that the saint was really different from ordinary people, and her bearing was extraordinary.
They didn't know Chen Qinghuan's nervousness, she asked Queen Sheng An for a long time in the afternoon to learn this little bit of skin, for fear of making a mistake and embarrassing people.
The banquet officially began, the music sounded from all directions, and the enchanting dancers whirled and twisted their bodies, laughing and laughing everywhere.
At this time, a handsome man stood up, and was the first to come forward to toast, and said: "I am Yanguo Yanqilin, I have seen the lord of the country, and I have seen the holy woman. β
The lord of the country was slightly surprised, "Oh?" Yan Qilin, the fourth prince of Yanguo actually sent an envoy in person, "I didn't expect that the prince of Qi was actually the envoy of the Yanguo, Prince Qi, please take a seat." β
Yan Qilin said with a smile: "The emperor attaches great importance to the saint and wants me to come to greet him in person to show the sincerity of our country." β
The lord of the country picked up the wine and said: "Okay, good, this glass of wine will be a good friend between the two countries, and I will do it first." β
Chen Qinghuan couldn't laugh, she saw that this Qi prince named Yan Qilin was good-looking, but he had to be at least twenty-five years old, it stands to reason that the emperor is his brother, wouldn't it be older, who is she married with a three-year-old child?
She was slandering, Yan Qilin's gaze turned to her, and said with a smile: "The saint is clever and lovely, it is better to see than to hear." β
Chen Qinghuan shuddered, "I've seen Prince Qi, the prince has won awards, Qing Huan seems to think that Prince Qi is a character who is better than seeing it." She couldn't think of anything to shoot, after all, she had never heard of this person before, and she couldn't blow it with her eyes closed.
Yan Qilin smiled even deeper, and said softly: "I don't know which of the three princes is fortunate enough to marry the Holy Maiden." β
As if talking to himself, and as if he was deliberately saying it to someone, the lord of the country frowned subconsciously when he heard this, and then immediately resumed talking and laughing, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Seeing this, others also stepped forward to talk and communicate.
The palace sang all night, and the palace was also jubilant, and the sky was not yet dawning, and there were rumors of the new saint in the market, saying that it was a young age, and it was not inferior to the original Sheng'an saint, and even Yanguo sent the emperor's own brother Qi Wang Ye to greet the saint, so big pomp.
Chen Qinghuan didn't know any of this, she lay in the bedroom for two whole days, enjoying the happiness of being served once, after all, when the three days came, she was a younger brother who was trying to survive in the cracks.
Yanguo's escort team has more people than when she came, looking at this well-trained appearance, she can understand why Ningxia is so afraid of fighting with Yanguo, Yanguo's small soldiers are all their own elites, and it is strange that they can fight.
Qinghuan Holy Maiden's entourage has a full twenty boxes, most of them are congratulatory gifts, as well as the dowry given by the lord of the country, in addition to these, before leaving, Sheng An selected a maid for her to bring over, this maid is named Xiao Mao, eleven or twelve years old, very capable, Chen Qinghuan also likes it.
At this time, Xiao Mao held the desert snow fox rewarded by Sheng An, and sat in the carriage with Chen Qinghuan, the snow fox was white all over, the coat was shiny, and it was smoother and more comfortable to the touch than silk clothes, Chen Qinghuan said while smoothing its fur: "Give it a name." β
Xiao Mao replied: "It's up to the saint to decide." β
"Do you have any suggestions. β
"Xiao Mao doesn't know. β
Chen Qinghuan pursed his lips and sighed: "Don't be so serious, it's boring." "Along the way, she was the only one who could talk to herself, and it turned out to be si
I am more human than her.
Xiao Mao replied: "Listen to the Holy Maiden's orders." β
Chen Qinghuan: I'm not angry, I'm not angry.
The snow fox squinted his eyes, curled up comfortably in Xiao Mao's arms, it is the most humane among the livestock, and it is a once-in-a-century desert white fox, which is very popular with the queen of the country, if it were not for the purpose of appeasing the saint, the queen of the country was reluctant to send it away.
"You sleep better than I do. Chen Qinghuan said angrily, the snow fox seemed to understand, jumped into her arms from Xiao Mao's arms, tilted his head proudly, and found a comfortable position to lie down.
"Hey, here you go. β
Xiao Mao thought that Chen Qinghuan was angry, and cleverly took out the pastries from the food box on the side, "Holy Maiden, Xiao Mao has prepared your favorite jade soft cake, can you taste it?"
Chen Qinghuan's attention was attracted away, and he quickly picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. The pastries in the palace are worthy of being made by the imperial kitchen, and the taste and texture are unique, she just has a stomach that is not hungry, and her mouth must also be eaten.
Stuff a piece into your mouth, and then stuff a piece into Xiaomao's mouth, "You eat too, eh, let you eat, you are not allowed to speak." "Don't give her any tirade.
β...... Be. β
The bumpy carriage stopped, and it was time for the group to rest, after a long day's journey. Yan Qilin rode his horse and said outside the carriage: "Holy Maiden, let's rest here for half an hour before we set off." β
After shaking all day, Chen Qinghuan's bones fell apart, and as soon as he heard that he was resting, he immediately took three steps and did two steps to get out of the car, "Okay, great, rest and rest." β
"Where is the Holy Maiden going?"
"Take a walk, let me walk for a while, I'm going to lose feeling in my legs. β
Yan Qilin asked the two guards to follow the saintess, and Xiao Mao hurriedly got out of the car to follow, "The saint is serious, don't go too far, this wilderness is dangerous, it's better to be careful." Before he finished speaking, Chen Qinghuan had already walked away.
The soldiers sat on the ground in groups of ten and took turns resting, fetching water and nibbling dry food.
Chen Qinghuan looked from afar, saw that all the soldiers were eating the dusty coarse grains in the same way, and asked Xiao Mao: "Why do we have pastries to eat?" The team was already long, could it be that the royal family and nobles took care of the royal family and the nobles, and specially brought some delicacies from the mountains and seas on the road?
Xiao Mao replied: "It was prepared by the lord of the country for the holy woman, the holy woman has golden branches and jade leaves, and she must not be used to eating coarse grains." β
Hearing the same as what she thought, she was unhappy for a while, she didn't like to have this kind of distinction between high and low, and then looked at Yan Qilin, he was also eating hard flatbread like a soldier, so he turned around and stretched out his hand to the two soldiers next to him and said, "Give me your dry food." β
The two soldiers looked embarrassed and a little at a loss, Chen Qinghuan stretched his hand higher, "Give it to me." β
"Yes!" they did not know what the saint wanted to do, and handed over their dinner with a bitter face.
The two flatbreads were bigger than her face, and when they bumped together, there was a sound of stones bumping, and Chen Qinghuan bit down one piece, trying to chew the hard flatbread.
Xiao Mao and the two guards' expressions changed greatly, and Chen Qinghuan said vaguely: "Give me water." Xiao Mao hurriedly handed over a pot of grape juice, for fear that the saint would choke, "Share my food with everyone, I don't know if it's enough, you will look at the average score when the time comes." β
Xiao Mao was embarrassed: "The Holy Maiden ......"
Chen Qinghuan put out the shelf, snatched the food box in Xiao Mao's hand, opened it and took out the pastries on the top two layers and put it in the hands of the two guards, "You eat." "When I cleared the top, I found that the bottom layer of the food box was still covered with ice cubes, which the rich would really enjoy.
The guards held the plates, not eating, not yet, for the sake of being rare, Chen Qinghuan took a small bite of the flatbread, and said leisurely: "It's okay if you don't eat, if you don't eat, throw away all the food I brought, and reduce the burden on the team." β
The saint's words have been said so desperately, Xiao Mao also saw that she was not pretending, so she immediately took action, "Saintess, I'll go and divide it immediately, trouble the two to take care of the saint, I'll go back when I go." β
The guards didn't expect the saint to have a compassionate heart, they were very moved, hugged their fists and said, "Rest assured, girl, it is our duty to protect the saint." β
After a while, Xiao Mao carried food boxes from the front of the team all the way to the back, and the soldiers in the team subconsciously nodded again and again after hearing the reason, and called a team of people to help Xiao Mao deliver food.
Yan Qilin was tethering his beloved horse, and when he came back, he saw that his soldiers had almost become other people's soldiers, and he looked at the smiling appearance of the saint one by one, and he didn't know that he thought it was his own daughter.
Everyone really treats the saint as their own family at the moment, and the more they look at this little girl, the more they like it, and they have to call out from afar, "I've seen the Qinghuan saintess." β
Can the holy woman hear it from so far away, Yan Qilin complained in his heart, and then saw the deputy general running towards him with a food box, "Lord Wang, the holy woman heard that you like to eat wine-stuffed balls, so she specially asked the last general to send it, and there is also their unique wine in Ningxia." As soon as I opened the lid, the unique sweet aroma of wine wafted out, and I couldn't help but salivate when I smelled it.
In just one break, Chen Qinghuan's kung fu to buy people's hearts can be described as perfect.
"Don't say it, the holy woman is much more pleasing to the eye than the villain of Dao Zongyu, I don't understand why Dao Zongyu can give birth to such a sensible daughter. "Someone eats a mouthful of balls and takes a sip of wine, so said.
Yan Qilin, who was still ridiculing others just now, has also become one of them at the moment, and he is not to blame, who would not like a kind and cute little girl.
"The last general thinks that the Holy Maiden of Qinghuan is more like her mother, the Holy Maiden Sheng An. β
"You're right, she's also Sheng An's daughter after all. There was loneliness in his words, and the mention of Sheng An seemed to evoke memories that he didn't want to remember.
