”
After some hesitation and consideration, for the sake of the overall situation, she finally reluctantly agreed to Ling Xiao's request. She thought, this is actually a good thing, at least Ling Xiao's will has been shaken, and he is willing to become a person from Yiyue Palace, and the Moonfall Mirror has also returned to Yiyue Palace again, this is a good start, and other things will be slowly solved later. In the end, such a result can be regarded as a consensus between the two.
Of course, as the treasure of the town palace of Yiyue Palace in the past dynasties, in fact, with the change of time, it has long lost its original utility, and with the current strength and status of Yiyue Palace, it is no longer necessary to use it to control beasts.
Now its value is only a symbol of a palace, that symbol comes from the spirit, condenses the spirit of all the palace people, is a part of the Yiyue Palace, indispensable, they regard it more than anything else. Therefore, Momozhi attaches great importance to this matter, and the Moonfall Mirror now rightfully belongs to Ling Xiao, so she must keep Ling Xiao.
According to the custom of Yiyue Palace, the sacrificial ceremonies required for each entry into the palace will be scheduled to be carried out in the second half of the night between the last few days of the month, that is, when the moon rises.
Yiyue Palace has been preparing for more than half a month for Ling Xiao's palace entrance ceremony this time, and as for costumes and the like, as early as two months ago, Taozhi began to order people to prepare. Because letting Ling Xiao enter Yiyue Palace and become the palace master, she had already decided on the matter, just waiting for Ling Xiao to come from the Lu Mansion.
Originally, the costumes purchased were prepared for Ling Xiao when he took over the position of palace master, but now Ling Xiao refused to be the palace master. Although Momozhi agreed, she did not plan to change the clothes she had prepared for Ling Xiao in advance.
Obviously, this is not in line with the palace rules and etiquette of Yiyue Palace, and there are overstepping them, but Ling Xiao doesn't understand this. It is precisely because of this that all matters related to the palace ceremony are handled by the people assigned by Taozhi, Ling Xiao has not taken the initiative to ask once, and she doesn't care about these, just like an outsider.
Although the palace entrance ceremony was officially held at night, on this day, Ling Xiao had just finished lunch, and Shi Man came to her room with seven or eight women and began to prepare for the evening ceremony for her.
First of all, take a bath, and after bathing, you need to tattoo a special tattoo on your body, which is the totem of Yiyue Palace, and every woman in Yiyue Palace will have it.
"Girl, have you figured out the location of the totem?" The two maidservants put on thin toveils for Ling Xiao, who had just gotten up from the water, and duly asked the questions they had asked before bathing. The totems of Yiyue Palace are not strictly limited in terms of location, and they all depend on their preferences.
Surrounded by smoke curtains, it flutters lightly in the breeze gusts, blurry and ethereal. Ling Xiao inadvertently lowered his eyebrows and glanced at his left foot that had just stretched out of the bath bucket, and the crystal droplets of water gathered into strands on the fair and tender skin, dripping along the heels, rippling on the water surface covered with flower petals. Without thinking, she said lightly, "Just stab it in the left ankle." ”
Ling Xiao decided to stab the totem on his ankle, but he didn't say it in a word, but after a moment of consideration, he felt that this location was very hidden, and no one would find it at all on weekdays.
The jade-like feet carried the light droplets of water and fell silently on the ground covered with the felt carpet, and the soft thin towel slid down from the handmaiden's hand, enveloping Ling Xiao's delicate body, and the long hair like a waterfall that broke away from the hosta rippled slightly behind him.
When Ling Xiao walked out from behind the screen with a simple layer of underwear, all the items needed to paint the thorn totem had been placed on the table in front of the bed, and the maidservant led her there.
The light gauze tent like smoke swayed slightly, she lifted the tent and entered, and lay down on her side, only one jade foot was placed outside the tent in the haze, and she didn't care much about what kind of pattern she wanted to draw.
After enduring the hot pain for half an hour, a slightly respectful voice finally broke the silence around him and entered the tent: "Girl, the totem has been drawn, please take a look." ”
Ling Xiao got up, after the tent was lifted by the maidservant, she naturally glanced at the ankle, and the totem was pierced about a finger away from the top of the ankle, which was only the size of the ankle, it was a pattern of a green vine around the crescent moon, a vine with leaves, a silver-gray moon, and a faint coldness in the vitality, delicate and beautiful.
Seeing that Ling Xiao's expression revealed a different color after taking a few glances at the totem, the woman in charge of the tattoo suddenly realized something, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee: "Please forgive the girl, the subordinates deviated from the position of the totem on their own initiative, but the original position is really difficult to get a needle." ”
Although in her eyes, Ling Xiao was an ordinary woman who was about to join Yiyue Palace, but just now she suddenly realized that this woman had been courteous to their palace master since she lived in Yiyue Palace, and because of this, she should not neglect others, but she didn't remind the other party in advance, and changed the position of the totem without asking the other party's opinion, which was obviously a bit rude.
"Forget it." There was a hint of coldness in Ling Xiao's voice, which came from the fact that she didn't like others to change her decision without permission. But she didn't get angry because of this, one, it's not a big deal, she is not a person who has to care about everything. And second, after all, here she is a guest, and others are the masters.
In fact, putting aside the point of self-assertion, if you just look at the position of the totem and its exquisite pattern, Ling Xiao is actually very satisfied and likes it. Of course, this liking and satisfaction is to abandon the meaning of the pattern itself, simply because she sees the totem as a simple decoration, not as a symbol of the Yiyue Palace.
And if she was just treated with the mark of Yi Yue Palace, focusing on the meaning of this pattern, then she wouldn't care if she was satisfied with such a pattern, let alone liking or not, because she didn't care much at all.
Seeing that Ling Xiao didn't care about this matter, the woman secretly breathed a sigh of relief and began to bury herself in sorting out the tools she had just used. However, before he really started to clean up, a faint voice came from the top of his head: "Your tattoo skills are good." In addition to this, can you stab anything else? ”
"What kind of pattern does the girl want? Where to stab? The woman's hand covered with paint paused slightly, and she raised her eyes to look at Ling Xiao's light eyes with a little confusion, and her tone was a little more cautious and polite.
Ling Xiao's gaze swept over the desk, and all the delicate tools on it were the delicate tools that had been used to draw the totem just now. She straightened the neckline of her undershirt, fixed her flat gaze on the box of tender green paint, and said, "A few bamboo leaves, just pierce the right corner of the eye." ”
