Chapter 23: Baekgui Palace
Dai is located in the northeast, its capital is Hongji, carried on the Xuanwu, just one day and one night, Sakura and Taiqi from the center of the world, the Yellow Sea, to the top of Hongji Mountain. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Hongji Mountain is a very special place, different from other mountains and rivers, as the national capital, where the royal palace is located, it is straight into the sky, and the royal palace of Dai, Baigui Palace is located on the sea of clouds, which is similar to the top of Pengshan Mountain.
Other countries in this world are similar, perhaps a manifestation of the status of the king, not a human body, but a god who has entered the divine realm, and has become an immortal who is immortal and has a respected status, such as the Jinbo Palace in Gyeongdong Kingdom, the Xuanying Palace in Yanzhou Kingdom, and so on.
The body of Xuanwu is like the same in many myths, it is a huge turtle, and it has always been responsible for bringing the new king and Taifu, that is, the unicorn, to the place where his country is located, and the only place where it haunts is the sea of clouds.
The turtle shell of the Xuanwu looks like it is made entirely of rocks, like a small island in the Yuan Sea, and there is a small palace in the central part, which is used for the king and the unicorn to rest.
The first thing you see is the island that looks like a horse's hooves and gives people a sense of danger, and if you look closely, you can see a lot of buildings, not the navy blue of Penglu Palace, the feeling of fairyland in the mountains, which makes people feel a kind of pure whiteness, with the reflection in the sea of clouds, it is very spectacular.
In the day and night of Xuanwu crossing the sea, the Baigui Palace was also sitting to meet the preparations of the new king, at this time, when Xuanwu docked, everything was naturally organized, which was also thanks to the previous generation of King Jiao, even if he liked to have fun, too arrogant and extravagant led to the loss of morality, but the orderly political affairs also made it still maintain very well after the death of the king.
Xuanwu slowly approached the shore and lowered his head again, and at the same time, countless royal flags were raised inside and outside the palace, and in front of the building facing it, a large number of people were neatly lying on the ground, they were the queue that came to welcome the new king.
The large number of people in a row lay flat on both sides, forming a passage, which looked very spectacular, but it was also because of this that Sakura would not not know about the White Guy Palace, and did not know where to go next, her expression was now completely indifferent, even if there was a little excitement that she did not know before, but she was still overwhelmed by the silence in her heart.
However, unlike Sakura, the black unicorn, who had never seen this kind of battle and was just a young child, seemed a little flustered, even if he was mentally prepared, he didn't know how to deal with it at this time, but he was not alone after all.
"Gosuri, let's go."
Cold, very soft, only Tai Qi beside her could hear the voice sounded, like a guide, more like an encouragement, the young child couldn't help but show a smile, calm down, follow the figure in front of him, and slowly walked towards the main hall.
The young queen, as well as the completely different characteristics, will naturally attract a lot of dissatisfaction and a round, even in these queues used to greet them, there are many, even most of them, are suspicious and contemptuous, which also gives them the courage to dare to look up at the new king against etiquette.
But, of course, Sakura found this, she knew very well that it was very difficult for her to complete that task, and now was the beginning of the real event, no matter what, she had to become a king, and a king must have the bearing of being above all else, no need to hide, no need to be jealous, just need to obey some of her own qualities.
Blood-red eyes, coldly looking straight ahead, but invisibly, all the people who quietly raised their heads to look at the queen had the illusion of being stared at, the kind of creepy, blood-dripping killing aura, that subconscious intuition that could only avoid its edge.
In an instant, the place fell into silence, the original silence was forcibly dyed with solemnity, there was no other timbre, all the sense of existence was concentrated on the young body that was walking slowly, and then when the girl's figure disappeared into the main hall, many people exhaled, and then gasped.
After entering the main hall, all you will see are civil and military officials dressed in black, these officials who were in important positions when they were kings in the previous generation, and they are different from those small characters outside, these are the biggest difficulties of Sakura's current situation.
However, Sakura knows very well that these things can only be done slowly, and now, the most important thing is to do the current things well, and she is not without helpers, even if this helper can only be regarded as one-sided.
Among the hundred officials who greeted him, Sakura could easily see a few figures, it was when he was in Pengshan, the faces of those who ascended the mountain, and Li Zhai and Xiaozong were also among them, and everyone knelt on the ground with different moods.
Although the ideas are different, there is a common feeling, that is, from the oppression of this petite body, that deterrence, and this bearing, even Li Zhai and Xiaozong were surprised, this alone is enough to make most people impressed by this new queen.
Next, with Xiaozong's advance arrangements and help, as well as Sakura's own bearing, coupled with the situation during this period, all kinds of rituals were successfully completed, even Sakura, who was not very familiar with these palace rituals, was able to complete what she needed to do through some decent guidance.
The whole day went on like this, and in the evening, Sakura and Taiki had nothing to keep busy with, but Sakura didn't plan to rest like this, because she knew very well that her abilities were far from enough.
As Taifu's Kirin lives in Renzhong Palace, although there are many maids to serve him, but, in the past, under Taiqi's request and Sakura's own consideration, most of them were dispersed, and only a few necessary maids remained, and now, in Sakura's opinion, that child should have taken advantage of the fact that there was no one around, called Shanzi out, and slept with him.
Sakura is now alone in her own bedroom, sitting in front of her desk, lighting a lamp, quickly flipping through the books in her hand, although it is very similar to the establishment of Sakura's original world Zhou Dynasty, but this world is different after all, the mere existence of paper is enough to explain.
"Sakura-chan~ You're still watching~ I really don't know what these things mean, you've been watching it for most of the night~"
Just as Sakura closed the book in her hand, closed her eyes and combed the structure, and prepared, opening the top volume of the book that had been piled up like a hill on the side, a crisp, resentful voice rang out.
Then, Sakura put the book in her hand on the table for the time being, met the golden eyes, and at some point, Aiqi appeared from the shadow, and then sat on Sakura's two legs, two hands, holding Sakura's somewhat thin body.
Since Ai Qi is only about eight years old, and Sakura's already somewhat developed green body, the two faces happen to be in a good position, and there is no need to bow their heads or deflect their necks, which is a more comfortable state.
"If you come out so casually, it will be very bad if you are discovered."
Sakura said in a cold, but not eager, voice to Eggie, a girl who was considered her servant, and at the same time blocked it with one hand, Eggie sneaked up on the pile of books on the table, she didn't want to waste most of her time trying to get something back from this naughty child.
"Well~ Sakura-chan, you're really~ People obviously came out after making sure that there was no one around, even if it was the big brothers and big sisters who were closest to here, it was impossible to find out~Hehehe~"
Aiqi grinned and said to Sakura, laughing like a silver bell, as if she had seen through the conspiracy and wanted to be praised, innocent and pure.
“……”
Sakura didn't say anything, for she knew that what Aiki said was true, and from the shadows she had spread, everyone except a few maids and guards had been driven away by her own orders, and they seemed to be amazed at their hard work.
"Really! Sakura-chan~ I haven't released people for so long, it's really too much, it's not easy, people came out, and they didn't say a word, they were about to suffocate people! Seeing Sakura's calm expression, Ai Qi pouted and said very dissatisfied.
“…… Aren't you Yaga in the first place? ”
After a long time, when Aiqi felt that she should not receive any reply, Sakura said something in her unique voice, which surprised Aiqi very much, not only because of Sakura's reply, but also because Sakura's words were obviously complaining.
“…… Sakura-chan, are you sick?! No, doesn't that mean that the shadow monsters don't get this disease? ”
Aiqi said to Sakura in surprise, then tilted her head, very concerned, and asked Sakura, it could be seen that this innocent child took Sakura's safety very seriously, but before she could draw more conclusions, Sakura grabbed Aiqi and stuffed it back into the shadow, and after a while, a approaching footstep sounded.
"Your Majesty, please don't bother too much, after all, even if you are an immortal, if you are too tired, you will feel unwell."
This was a lady of the palace, and Sakura remembered that she was one of the maids who had been arranged to serve her, a middle-aged woman who looked almost thirty years old, with a gentle and concerned voice, and when she entered the palace, she knelt on the ground according to the courtesy, and she held a wooden plate in her hand, on which was a bowl of steaming ginger soup.
"I remember, your name is Aoba, haven't you slept so late?"
A cold but calm voice came out of Sakura's mouth, with a little rustiness and a slight question, and she took advantage of the maid's bowing head, her blood-red eyes were also looking at this woman, and she didn't find any flaws.
"Thank you for your concern, but the Lord has not yet rested, how dare you sleep as a lady who is responsible for serving the Lord?"
The female officer named Aoba responded respectfully to Sakura, and after Sakura heard her words, she nodded slightly, and then, put aside the book she had picked up, stood up, and said slowly.
"Well, now that I'm going to bed, I'll ask you to go back and rest."
Sakura took two steps forward and said to the female officer, with some thoughts hidden in her eyes, waiting for the female officer's answer.
"This is not in accordance with the rules, my duty is to serve the Lord after you rest, it will be completed, and please forgive me."
A kind smile appeared on the female officer's face and said to Sakura, and Sakura nodded slightly, agreeing with her, and with vigilance, after the female officer helped to change her clothes, the lights in the dormitory were also extinguished.
After confirming that there was no one in the palace anymore, Sakura had an extra person in the bed, but it was much smaller than Sakura, and it was naturally not crowded for this large bed.
"Huh? Sakura-chan, you actually took the initiative to call me out, is it really a good situation! Did Sakura-chan miss me? With some immature and surprised children's voices sounded in Sakura's ears, and then, little Aiqi was directly in the bed, and hugged Sakura tightly, looking very happy.
"Aiqi, there are some things that you need to do, it's best to bring the third wife, they, dozens of spirits, and then my shadow, should be able to conjure up entities." Ignoring Aki, who was hugging her tightly and in close contact with her body, Sakura said bluntly.
"Huh? What! I don't ......" Just when Aiqi was stunned for a moment and wanted to lose her temper, she was directly blocked back by Sakura's next words.
"Don't you want to get extra breathe? If you're in the palace, there's Gaoli and arrogance, so it's inconvenient, isn't it? However, if you go out, you definitely want to have a good look and play, right? ”
Sakura's cold voice made Aiqi feel a little tempted at this time, in order to avoid this child from causing trouble for her, Sakura decided to let her taste some sweetness, but, deep in her heart that she didn't even notice, something was quietly changing.
"But......" Edgie still hesitated.
"My business is just by the way, if you don't agree, I can only lock you up." Sakura's words made Aiqi frown suddenly, and then she could only nod her head seriously, which was considered to agree with Sakura.
"But, Sakura-chan, don't go back! Even if it's Sakura-chan, if I regret it, I'll be unhappy! That's right! Hook! Aiqi said to Sakura in a childish voice under the covers, and then stretched out a hand and touched Sakura's hand, which was not much more than that.
"Well, what I want you to do, that's ......"
