Chapter 13: The Sacrifice Ceremony
Finally, the queen no longer focused on Xuanyuan Mingyue, who was on the verge of amnesty, and just hoped that the queen would end this reward ceremony quickly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After all, there are too many things given by the emperor, and I am afraid that these spirit girls will not use them again in this life. Therefore, after the ceremony, the queen ordered these gold and silver jewels to be sent directly to the families of the spirit maidens.
As in previous lives, there was a little guilt about these spirit girls, and the queen allowed them to play in the Imperial Garden before dark.
The road in the Imperial Garden, Xuanyuan Mingyue can never forget. As soon as the queen left, Xuanyuan Mingyue spread her legs and left the team. The spirit girl who was traveling with her only felt that she was also thinking that she was about to be sacrificed to the god of the sea, lamenting her fate. It's just that I don't want to show myself in front of them, so I can't help but run away.
Those palace maids and grandmothers have received the queen's will, and the whereabouts of these spirit maidens are no longer restricted.
In order to run faster, Xuanyuan Mingyue lifted the skirt high, not caring about the exposed skirt at all, but fortunately, there was no one around, so she saved this embarrassment.
It was still a step too late, and when she saw the micro-life dream butterfly standing alone by the pond, she guessed the result.
Even so, she still had to give it a try.
Weisheng Mengdie looked gloomily at Su Yaya, who was moving less and less in the water, and her brows became more and more wrinkled. Presumably, this Su Yaya was thinking of committing suicide, and even hid it from her, thinking that she didn't regard her as a friend, and the road was her own and had nothing to do with herself. She only knew that Su Yaya was not favored at home, but she didn't expect that Su Yaya didn't care about the nine clans at all. So will she be implicated now, does anyone see that she didn't do it, this Su Yaya, it really hurt her. Will your reputation be damaged, and whether you want to leave here or not. yes, get out of here first.
As soon as Weisheng Mengdie took a step, she heard someone raise her voice and shout loudly, "Help, someone has fallen into the water." She was shocked, as if she was frightened, and looked back vigilantly, and saw Xuanyuan Mingyue rushing over like crazy, and then jumped into the water. At this moment, Weisheng Mengdie couldn't help but look at Xuanyuan Mingyue twice, but it was not kind.
The Xuanyuan moon swam extremely fast in the water, like a dexterous fish. Seeing this scene, Weisheng Mengdie also decided not to leave, and stood silently on the shore to watch.
Xuanyuan Mingyue swam hard, and after a short time, she swam to Su Yaya's side, but she was already floating motionless on the water. Xuanyuan Mingyue was nervous, and hurriedly helped her turn around and swam to the shore with her. Seeing this, Weisheng Mengdie no longer stood by and stretched out her hand to pull Su Yaya. Xuanyuan Mingyue also climbed up by herself.
is accustomed to seeing the dirty things of the harem, so most of the servants waiting for the master in the palace are proficient in various first-aid techniques. As soon as the two of them landed, the palace maids and guards surrounded the place, and several older palace maids helped Su Yaya force out the pleural hydrops, and the imperial doctor also arrived in time to treat Su Yaya.
Watching Su Yaya wake up slowly, Xuanyuan Mingyue let out a long breath, and seeing that there was nothing wrong with her, she turned around and went back to the courtyard where the spirit girl was resting to change her clothes.
It is not a trivial matter for this spirit girl to fall into the water, and it is about to be sacrificed. Although she was rescued, who can tell whether she did it intentionally or accidentally. The queen drove Su Yaya into a remote nunnery that night.
This Su Mansion got this news, and in order to protect himself, he sent all the underage girls in the palace to the palace that night, regardless of whether they were relatives or concubines.
This act was seen by the royal family as loyal and selfless, so he did not pursue the matter further. However, in Xuanyuan Mingyue's eyes, she only felt that these people were selfish and terrible, and she became more and more sympathetic to Su Yaya.
In the end, the palace selected the third lady of the Su family, Su Yafu, who was about the same age as Su Yaya, as a substitute. Hearing the news, Su Yaya smiled coldly, offending almost all the unmarried girls in the family, this Su Mansion is not far from decline. It seems that she is really incompatible with this Su Mansion, but these things are not for others to know.
After the spirit girls who lived together knew that the person was rescued by Xuanyuan Mingyue, they all expressed their admiration for her, but Xuanyuan Mingyue said that they didn't dare to take credit, and there was also a credit for the micro-life dream butterfly. However, when these words reached the ears of Weisheng Mengdie, she felt that it was ironic, and she looked at Xuanyuan Mingyue more and more unpleasantly.
That night, Xuanyuan Mingyue was just about to wash up and go to sleep. A cold glimpse of a grandmother has been glaring at her. Strangely in her heart, she followed this grandmother to a secluded place. The grandmother mysteriously left her a small package and left in a hurry.
Xuanyuan Mingyue opened the package and saw that it was two handkerchiefs and a purse. She curiously unfolded the handkerchief, but it was a delicate embroidery, which seemed to be a landscape painting. Glimpsing the lower corner of the handkerchief with gold and silver threads thinly embroidered with colorful clouds for the moon, Mingyue then examined the handkerchief carefully, it turned out to be a map. Mother gave it.
Trembling, he opened the purse in his hand, and there were some fishing lines and hooks inside, and a thick layer of bait was laid underneath. Recalling the scene where her mother once took her own sea fishing, Xuanyuan Mingyue couldn't help but sob.
What should come is always coming. The sacrificial ceremony was also held as scheduled. When they arrived at the beach, they all changed into light green gauze skirts and wore flower crowns of the same color. Except for Xuanyuan Mingyue, because she is the lead dancer, her clothes are more complicated and delicate, and the color is also bright yellow, but the flower crown is a brilliant golden yellow.
In the early morning, the sun shines comfortably, the sea breeze gently pushes the waves, chasing the beach, everything is beautiful and peaceful. The shore was densely packed with people who came from all over to watch the sacrifice ceremony, Xuanyuan Mingyue looked back from afar, trying to find her mother's figure from the crowd, but there were too many people, and it was too far away, and she didn't find it after all.
Lined up, Xuanyuan Mingyue followed the team onto the royal special raft. The dancing team is an equilateral triangle, and every third member of the musical group forms a triangle around one side of the equilateral triangle, resulting in a large triangle. So this raft is also a huge triangle, maybe it's a formation with special significance, Xuanyuan Mingyue doesn't know too much.
The dance music sounded, and Xuanyuan Mingyue danced with the rhythm, like a fairy concubine, as if she was about to leave with the wind at any time. The crowd on the shore was fascinated, except for a plain woman who burst into tears and watched blankly. Heart, child, you want to be well. This is none other than Mingyue's mother, Chu Lingjiao.
Everything was as it had been calculated, just as in the previous life, when suddenly a strong wind blew the raft into the sea and went farther and farther. The people on the shore were stunned and forgot to breathe. Suddenly, I heard someone shouting, it was the god of the sea. The crowd fell to their knees in an uproar. And the raft also took Xuanyuan Mingyue and they disappeared without a trace.
