Chapter 16: Rituals
Yun Hou apologized to the Lord of Qin Yan Island very embarrassedly: "Brother Qin, I'm really embarrassed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Qin Yan waved his hand and said helplessly: "Brother Bai, don't worry, the ancestors have explained that they should be polite to the Fire Phoenix Clan, and try not to conflict." ”
"Xiaofei, I've come to see the Lord of Qin." Yun Hou shouted to Bai Xiaofei, who was only concerned about chatting with Elder Liuhuo.
Bai Xiaofei walked over and bowed generously: "Xiaofei has seen the Lord of Qin Island. Thank you very much for taking the time to attend my bar mitzvah. ”
"I've always heard Brother Bai talk about his lovely granddaughter, but he never took you out. I finally saw it this time. "The owner of Qin Island replied in a friendly way. Take out your own gift: "I heard that you are very interested in formation, this "Formation Minutes" is handed down from the Genda Dynasty, if you like it, you will like it." ”
Bai Xiaofei smiled happily: "Thank you Island Master Qin for the gift." I like it very much. ”
"It's almost time, and the ceremony is about to begin, so please move." Nanwang Anxuan, who was in charge of this coming-of-age ceremony and engagement, said to everyone.
Bai Xiaofei was dragged down by her aunt and mother to change clothes, and the cumbersome skirt was finally forced to be worn on Bai Xiaofei's body when Bai Xiaofei's protest was ineffective. Looking at her newly-dressed daughter in front of her, Shen Rouxi couldn't help but shed tears. The little person in his arms was so big in a blink of an eye, and he was stared at by all forces as soon as he was born, and he protected him for so many years, and finally he had to face the unknown fate of his daughter herself.
"Mother, don't cry, I want to cry when you cry! Makeup is so tiring! I want to finish it now, this dress is going to break my waist! ”
"You bear child! What to say! Shen Rouxi scolded.
"The coming-of-age ceremony is about to start, Xiaofei, let's go out." The eldest aunt also wiped away her tears and said. Bai Zeding and his wife's love for Bai Xiaofei is definitely no less than Bai Xiaofei's parents.
Bai Xiaofei walked towards the main hall under the leadership of the maid. The passage leading to the main hall is covered with various portraits. The main hall of the palace is not open without important ceremonies, and Bai Xiaofei saw it for the first time.
The maid saw Bai Xiaofei's curious gaze and explained, "The palace tries to keep it as it was when the Genda Dynasty was intact. These paintings are all portraits of the Genda Emperors and national teachers that have been preserved in a special preservation way. ”
Bai Xiaofei retracted his gaze, these paintings can be preserved for tens of thousands of years, what is that special preservation method? Bai Xiaofei wandered.
At the front of the aisle, the god attendant looked at the portrait in front of him with fascination. Dongwang, who was accompanied by him, stayed quietly to the side. Seeing Bai Xiaofei coming, Dongwang An Haokong praised: "Miss Bai is very beautiful today!" ”
"Thank you!" Hearing that he was beautiful, Bai Xiaofei was very happy. In the previous life, no one said that about themselves, and the Bai family often said that they were cute. There is no way, compared with Zitong, the word beauty will never fall on you.
The divine attendant heard the voices of Dongwang and Bai Xiaofei, and finally came back to his senses. turned around and saw Bai Xiaofei, who was dressed ceremoniously, a little distracted.
After so many years of intersection, Bai Xiaofei can already see his true emotions from Zi Tong's unchanging zombie face. At this moment, something was wrong with the divine attendant, and Zi Tong showed a sad expression for the first time. Bai Xiaofei cried out with some concern: "Lord God Attendant? ”
The god attendant returned to his senses and said in a very sad tone: "Xiaofei is very beautiful today!" ”
The East King glanced at the divine attendant in surprise, and also looked at Bai Xiaofei.
Bai Xiaofei was stunned again! This is the first time that the god attendant has shown an expression other than coldness in front of everyone, right? Shouldn't Lord God Attendant nod coldly in front of outsiders and not speak?
Shen Rouxi and Shao Mingli also looked at the Divine Attendant in surprise. Adults have sad expressions? Didn't the adults object to Xiaofei's engagement to the Demon Emperor?
Bai Xiaofei's eyes drifted to the portrait that Zi Tong had seen before. There are two people in the portrait, a heroic middle-aged man looking lovingly ahead, and the girl next to him stands quietly. Girl... The girl and herself have seven points of imagination.
The East King followed Bai Xiaofei's gaze and said, "This is the last national teacher and saint of the Genda Dynasty. Miss Bai, this holy woman is also the ancestor of your Bai family. ”
"Oh~" Bai Xiaofei was a little confused, was Ziyun sad when he saw this portrait or because of himself?
At this time, the main hall was filled with solemn music. On major occasions in the Western Continent, music is played by masters who are proficient in music. Musicians, like physicians, are respected.
"It's time." Dongwang reminded.
Bai Xiaofei's mood was a little excited. Although this is in the Demon Clan, although this is not his favorite way, although in addition to the Demon nobles, the guests are only the Bai Family and the Divine Attendant, the Flowing Fire Elder, and the Lord of Qin Island, but in the main hall of the Demon Clan's palace, Bai Xiaofei's little vanity in his heart was satisfied.
The god's attendant and the mother enter the main hall first. Bai Xiaofei stood at the door of the main hall, waiting for the door to open. The music wafting from the main hall was beautiful, and Bai Xiaofei's heart was beating faster and faster. I remember when I participated in the performance program of the college graduation party, right? Then......
The door slowly opened, Bai Xiaofei restrained his emotions and slowly walked towards the main hall. The hall is brightly lit and filled with delicate flowers. The Bai family was at the front, and the nobles of the demon clan such as the god attendant, the Flowing Fire Elder, the Qin Island Lord, the Demon Emperor, the East King, the South King, Zu Feng, and the Patriarch of the Gosi Demon Wolf Clan, Ao, were all present. In everyone's eyes, Bai Xiaofei walked to his parents standing in the center of the main hall and knelt in front of his parents.
The father holds a valuable headdress prepared by the demons that can break the neck. Bai Xiaofei was engaged to the Demon Emperor, and according to the customs, everything was arranged by the Demon Emperor.
Mother Shen Rouxi tied up Bai Xiaofei's long hair and put on a headdress. The coming-of-age ceremony is over. Next is the highlight of the day, the engagement ceremony of Bai Xiaofei and Demon Emperor Anhe.
An He stepped forward and knelt down on one knee to thank Bai Xiaofei's parents. Then he stood up and took Bai Xiaofei's hand. Together, the two bowed to everyone.
"Today, I am here in peace, and under the witness of everyone, I have made a marriage contract with Bai Xiaofei. I swear by my honor: for the rest of my life, I will never give up. After speaking, An He looked at Bai Xiaofei.
"Today, I, Bai Xiaofei, am here, under the witness of everyone, and I have made a marriage contract with An He. I swear by my honor: If you don't leave you, I will depend on you for life and death. Bai Xiaofei replied.
The Western Continent attaches great importance to personal credit, and the oath made in front of everyone must be kept. In the general engagement ceremony, the man and the woman often say: I will love you as myself; I will always love you; I love you with my life and so on.
An He looked at Bai Xiaofei interestingly, and whispered: "I thought you would say that life and death are broad, and talk to Zicheng." Bai Xiaofei glanced at An He. I know that you can hear what I really mean by the sentence embroidered on both sides: if you kill me, I will also pull you to die!
But today is the engagement ceremony, and I wanted to say such a sentence at my wedding in my last life, but unfortunately I didn't even have a marriage partner. There is an engagement ceremony in this life, but the meaning is different, don't spoil such a beautiful sentence.
"What are you doing!" Suddenly, there was a bang.
