I don't know how long it took, Li Qiuchi spent his makeup time tormentedly. Seeing her relieved expression, Cuiyu felt a little funny, she couldn't bear to hit her, but she still said, "Miss, I'll have to change my clothes later." ”

Li Qiuchi's face collapsed instantly.

Jade is also a little distressed, after all, she looks very heavy on these headdresses, not to mention wearing them all in one go, although it is autumn, it is still very annoying to wear so much.

At this time, the slave maid Qingyin, who was in charge of changing clothes, suddenly rushed in in shock, "Princess, the clothes are gone!" ”

"What?!" Cuiyu's face changed greatly, she was shocked and angry, "Why is this good clothes missing at this juncture?" How do you take care of your clothes? Why don't you look for it? There are less than two hours left before the sacrifice, how do you let the crown princess go to the sacrifice? ”

Li Qiuchi also stood up suddenly, her headdress clanged because of her shaking, and her eyes contained extreme darkness, "Why are the clothes missing?" "But when such a thing happened at a critical juncture, was it because the slave and maid were not properly cared for, or was someone deliberately behind it?

Qingyin said with a crying voice: "The slave has already called someone to look for it, whether it is in the original place or every corner, I have searched it all over, but there is no trace of clothes!" ”

Cuiyu was about to burn her eyebrows, thinking that she would have to take care of Li Qiuchi closely, but the clothes were very important, she couldn't wait to fly out to find them, and her heart was burning. Her eyes were as sharp as sharp knives, and she scolded sharply: "Go find it!" Dispatch all the horses and horses, be sure to find the princess's sacrificial clothes! ”

After half an hour, Qingyin trembled and reported, "The crown princess and the slaves are not doing well...... The clothes were still not found, so I begged the princess to punish them. ”

With a bang, Li Qiuchi slammed the table and stood up, his eyes were hiding extreme anger and darkness, and the gloomy anger was like a knife blade about to cut through human flesh and blood little by little, and Rao is jade was also shuddering beside him.

She comforted softly: "Miss, don't be too anxious, we will find it as soon as possible, there is still an hour and a half, we will definitely be able to find it." ”

"Looking for what? It's clear that someone is expecting me to be upset. Li Qiuchi smiled coldly, "Let's go meet her and see what she is going to do!" ”

Cuiyu naturally understood who the person Li Qiuchi was referring to, she frowned, and the disgust in her eyes was hard to hide, "The eldest lady always makes things like this, this sacrifice is not a trivial matter, if you can't go up to worship because of your clothes, this is the entire East Palace will be implicated." ”

She chuckled, revealing a cold chill to the bone, and the annoyance of having so many jewels pressed on her head suddenly gushed out, and she strode out directly.

In the corridor, everyone was in a hurry, and they were in a hurry because of the clothes.

"Is there any here?"

"No, what about you?"

"I don't have it on my side!"

"Forget it, go over there and look for it, quick!"

The surrounding aura became oppressive and viscous, as if filled with the smell of gunpowder and gunsmoke.

Li Qiuchi's heart was even more anxious, she walked briskly in the corridor, her eyes kept looking at the end.

However, the East Palace was too big, and she had only walked half the distance in a quarter of an hour, and the shoes on her feet were embroidered shoes, which was inconvenient to walk.

The clanging symphony above her head was deafening, and the noise made her more and more annoyed.

"The sacrificial garment has been found!" Suddenly, someone shouted loudly, Li Qiuchi suddenly found hope, she hurriedly looked up, only to see Chu Jinrong at the end of the corridor standing with his hands in his hands, he was wearing a purple python robe, extravagant, and the sunny smile on the corner of his mouth made people look lazy and casual, after seeing Li Qiuchi, he slowly walked over. The eunuch beside him bowed his head slightly, and what he held in his hand was a luxurious and shining garment,

Li Qiuchi's face suddenly appeared excited, she ran over in three steps and two steps, picked up the clothes with a happy face, and asked him with a smile: "Where did you find these clothes?" We searched the whole palace and couldn't find it. ”

Chu Jinrong spread his hands, "I happened to go out to look for you, and when I was passing by, I met a little maid with a raw eye, saying that she was new and got lost in the East Palace." I saw that she was carrying your sacrificial robe, and I brought it to me. ”

Cuiyu hurriedly took it and looked at it, and was relieved when she found that it was indeed a sacrificial dress, "Fortunately...... If it weren't for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I am afraid that the Crown Princess would not be able to go to the sacrifice. ”

Li Qiuchi finally let go of the big stone in her heart, and suddenly a vague fragrance penetrated the tip of her nose, and she sniffed in the air. Chu Jinrong saw her abnormal behavior and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Qiuchi frowned, "There's a strange smell coming from nowhere, don't you smell it?" Jade sniffed vigorously and shook her head in confusion, "No." ”

Chu Jinrong couldn't cry or laugh, "Don't worry about it, you go and change your clothes, the time is coming." ”

Li Qiuchi threw away the confusion in his heart and followed Cuiyu back to change clothes.

At the sacrificial meeting, the hundred officials knelt on the ground neatly, dressed in strict accordance with the rank of the imperial court, they held a sign tightly with both hands, their heads also drooped, and their faces solemnly listened to the national teacher on the rooftop in front of them read the edict, the words read on the edict were obscure, and his tone was even more subdued, sonorous and powerful, enough for everyone present to hear. The Temple of Heaven is made up of stairs one by one, and it looks like a high place that is unbearable, and the long red carpet is covered down the stairs, which looks very grand.

When it was the turn of the royal family and nobles to go to the Temple of Heaven to worship the heavens, Chu Jinrong and Li Qiuchi stood side by side, standing in front of the two of them were Chu Junlan and the queen, and the four of them walked slowly on the red carpet, and the loud and solemn tone of the national teacher sounded.

"I wish the Great Zhou Dynasty the country and the people to be safe, and the blessings will be in the sky!"

"Second, I wish the Great Zhou Dynasty a smooth wind and rain, and the people prosperous!"

"Three wishes that the Holy Lord will come to the world, and be blessed with longevity and health!"

Unconsciously, the four of them walked to the Temple of Heaven, and the breeze stirred the prayer flags hanging at the four corners of the Temple of Heaven, which looked crumbling. At this time, the sun was rising, and the eastern sky seemed to be dyed blood red, and a thin mist shrouded the sun, which looked half-hidden and half-hidden, and the sky seemed to become depressed.

After Chu Junlan and the queen put on the incense in turn, Chu Jinrong stepped forward, he solemnly inserted the incense in his hand, a wisp of green smoke swirled, and his side face was as cold and abnormal as a knife. Li Qiuchi saw that he put the incense well, and he also inserted it into the incense burner in the same posture as him, and Chu Jinrong next to him secretly squeezed his eyes at her, Li Qiuchi wanted to laugh in his heart. She was about to leave after putting on the incense, when suddenly many snakes came out of the Temple of Heaven, and they wrapped around Li Qiuchi with a thunderous force that covered her ears!
