Praying for the goddess for a long time does not mean that you will be in this temple for the rest of your life, no different from a nun

Li Siqi lowered his head and wiped his tears with a handkerchief: "If you can't marry a good family, it's better to have a green light ancient Buddha for a lifetime"

That's the kind of angry words. The Li family has been an official for generations, and the daughters in the family are all married well, and there are still those who married into the palace in the previous dynasty, although they are not concubines, they are also serious masters.

Li Siqi cried like this, and Li Wenbo was complaining that he, a grandfather, didn't think about his granddaughter.

"Okay" Li Wenbo persuaded, "Don't cry, didn't you say it before, grandfather tried to make you lose the election, back to Jinling, you are still the first beauty in Jinling, are you afraid that you won't be able to marry a good family, then King Qi is good-looking, but his character is not good, won't you be wronged if you marry in the past." You are still young, you have time, and there are many good men in this world. Grandfather promised you to help you find out how to go on next year's scientific expedition."

Li Siqi stopped crying: "My granddaughter thanks my grandfather." Grandfather, do you think your granddaughter will make a good impression when she goes to see King Qi, after losing the election"

Li Wenbo stroked his beard, how could this kid fall in love with the King of Qi, that is, he just watched it from afar. The appearance of the king of Qi is good, but it is not a good thing to be crowned a prince of the country at a young age. When the moon is full, the water is lost, and when it is full, it overflows. Li Wenbo, who has been an official for many years, knows this best.

"It's not good," Li Wenbo said directly, "If you want to lose the election, don't attract anyone's attention." You are the first beauty in Jinling, and your name is already very loud. If you want to lose the election, your grandfather will have to go through a lot of twists and turns. Don't go any way to people at this time. ”

"Granddaughter understands," Li Siqi lowered her head and wiped her tears, "Granddaughter will stay here and not go out." "Since her grandfather does not agree with her meeting the King of Qi at this moment, then she will go to see her again when she loses the election. The person she wants to marry must be good-looking. Guangyu ignored her, she still has King Qi to marry, isn't it? Guangyu is handsome, this King of Qi is more mature and stable than Guangyu in addition to being handsome. What about the flower heart, she is confident that she can be favored.

When she knew that Jin Ling and King Qi had a marriage contract, she was still full of schadenfreude, but at this moment, seeing King Qi so dazzling, she was very glad that Jin Ling died well.

She actually came here just to breathe. Think about it, when she went to the Jin family to give gifts, she also ate closed-door soup. Jin Ling, who had seen her several times after that, ignored her. It is because of Jin Ling Guangyu that he will turn a blind eye to her. Even Jin Ling fell into the river and died, Guangyu ignored her.

Hearing the news that Jin Ling fell into the river, he was shocked at first, but slowly became happy. Anyway, the person she hates is dead, and she must come to see it, and it will be regarded as a worship.

"It's almost time, grandfather goes out first, you are here, grandfather outside will help you say yes."

When Li Wenbo came out of the room, the sun had already sunk in the west.

An official of the Ministry of Rites stepped forward and whispered: "It's almost time for Li Shilang, is it beginning?"

"Hmm" Li Wenbo looked at the sinking sun, looked up at the goddess building again, "Ring the bell"

After giving the order to ring the bell, Li Wenbo strode towards the main hall of the Goddess Building.

Qi Huan was sitting on a chair drinking tea leisurely, and when he saw Li Wen coming over, he slowly put down the teacup: "The time has come."

"Yes, please move outside first, and ask Your Majesty to personally write the golden plaque given by the Emperor."

The plaque was made early in the morning, and the emperor asked the prince to inscribe the red silk on the plaque, and now there is Ende Gong to personally uncover the gold plaque.

"Okay" Qi Huan got up and strode out.

With the sound of the clear bell, everyone came to the east gate of the temple of the goddess.

Nearly 100 show girls stood in nine rows, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the retinue of Qi State were lined up on both sides.

After the bell rang nine times, the four officials of the Ministry of Rites carried a huge gold plaque in front of everyone's eyes. Sima Zheng was newly mourned, and even the red silk on the plaque was replaced with white silk.

Under the east gate, a tall drum was beaten by two sturdy men.

Qi Huan slowly stepped forward and tore off the white silk.

The large golden characters of the temple of the goddess are particularly eye-catching in the twilight.

"Hang the plaque," Li Shilang personally commanded.

In the past, such activities were sung by a special celebrant officer, just because the plaque was written by the emperor when he was the crown prince, and Li Shilang sang the lyrics in person to show his respect.

Li Shilang ordered, and two teams of capable craftsmen carried the huge plaque up the stairs.

Everyone raised their eyes, and the plaque of the temple of the goddess was firmly hung on the door in the middle of the gate.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites prepared in advance presented three incense sticks to Qi Huan.

Seeing Qi Huan taking the incense, Li Shilang shouted loudly: "Worship"

Qi Huan took the incense and bowed slightly to the gold medal plaque.

The rest knelt on the spot and kowtowed three times.

At this time, someone held the incense burner, and Qi Huan inserted three long incense sticks into the incense burner.

As the lanterns on both sides of the gate of the temple were lit, the lanterns on the wall at intervals were also lit one by one.

In the bright white light, Qi Huan turned around and looked at the show girl who was still kneeling on the ground.

"Get up, let's have a few words to say, you all listen."

Under the bright white light, Qi Huan, who was dressed in black and white, stood with his hands in his hands, standing tall and his voice clear: "I want to select nine people from among you as the goddesses of this prayer." In line with the principle of voluntariness, I will explain the relevant matters to you clearly. Lone only said it once. ”

All the show girls knelt up straight, and their eyes were all focused on Qi Huan's face. Qi Huan had his back to the light, and his face was a little dark, but the more he couldn't see the show girls clearly, the more he felt that his face had infinite temptation

"After this prayer, the goddess of blessing will be the goddess of prayer of the goddess temple, and His Majesty will give her a good name to worship, and at the same time reward her parents and relatives every year. Nine years later, if he wishes to marry, His Majesty will personally grant it to him. Of course, if you want to marry within nine years, Your Majesty will not stop it, provided that there is a replacement goddess who comes to pray for blessings. If you are interested, you can hand over the list to Master Li, and then Lone will take you to worship the goddess, and after the worship, Lone will give you time to think about it carefully, and whether you are willing to be a blessing goddess. ”

Qi Huan spoke quickly, and the show girls were still intoxicated by Qi Huan's prosperous beauty, so Qi Huan turned around and walked to the temple after speaking.

The show girls hurriedly got up and followed.

A little girl in the crowd hurried to Li Shilang's room.

Outside, the drums sang in unison to worship the goddess in front of the offering table, and the little girl transferred Qi Huan's words to Li Siqi word for word.

"That is to say, if you become a goddess tonight, you will be able to marry freely tomorrow if someone takes over, right" Li Siqi's eyes lit up slightly in the dark.

"That's what it means." The maid whispered.

"That's good," Li Siqi chuckled, "Take my roster, we'll go out now, and we'll follow quietly." ”
