Chapter 176: Gluttony
In addition to the nine-story main building, there is also a circle of temples around the temple for people to worship.
At this moment, both sides of the main road of the east gate are full of carriages and horses who come to pray for the blessing of the beautiful girl.
The show girl door has arrived one after another in the afternoon.
When Li Wenbo, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, accompanied the Duke of Ende, King Qi Huan, to arrive, there were already officials from the Ministry of Rites who led nearly 100 beautiful girls from the Nine Kingdoms to greet him.
Under the guidance of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, the show girls of "Seeing Enguo Gong" gave Enguo Gong ten thousand blessings together. On the occasion of the national funeral, the show girls are wearing white dresses, and they look like white flowers in full bloom at a glance.
The waiter of the Ministry of Rites wore a black official uniform covered with a layer of white veil, and Qi Huan also wore a black royal robe with a layer of white veil on the outside.
Li Wenbo, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and the Taifu of Qi Guo accompanied Qi Huan to the temple of the goddess one left and one right.
Accompanied by the two old men, coupled with the backdrop of the two teams of guards, Qi Huan became more and more young and handsome.
These show girls had also heard of Qi Huan's flower name before, and the people from the Ministry of Rites said to let them come to the temple to pray for blessings. The well-informed ones have already found out the inside information, saying that they are here to pray for blessings, but they are actually sent to be selected by King Qi first.
King Qi saved the crown prince is the life of the emperor now. was named the prince of the country, but the emperor still felt that his mind was not enough, and sent the show girl to let the king of Qi choose first.
Many of the show girls are rushing to enter the palace, the prince's reputation is not good, but now that he is the emperor, he is a mother when he enters the palace, and they naturally don't want to be chosen by King Qi.
Hearing that the King of Qi was coming, they all lowered their heads one by one, lest the King of Qi see that they had been chosen. They are all selected from many women from all over the world, and they are all beautiful.
It's just that when they really saw King Qi coming over, they all forgot to avoid it, and they all stared at King Qi one by one.
It's so good-looking
Even if he doesn't pay attention, other women will pounce on him.
The show girls who had originally lowered their heads raised their heads one by one, hoping that King Qi would take a look at them more. It's just that from beginning to end, King Qi's gaze has always been straight ahead, and he hasn't even looked at them.
The more King Qi was like this, the more they felt that King Qi was good.
is good-looking, and he is the king of Qi and the prince of the country, so he is just a little worse than the prince. Besides, they had all seen the portrait of the prince before, and the prince was not as good-looking as King Qi.
In the eyes of all the beautiful women, King Qi, accompanied by the attendants of the Ministry of Rites, came to the main hall of the Goddess Building on the first floor of the Goddess Building.
The goddess temple superintendent Zhuge Gang led a group of craftsmen to come forward and salute.
"It's still early," said the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, "and then light the lamp after sunset." He also asked the prince to rest in the palace for a while. β
"Hmm" Qi Huan bowed slightly and sat on the high chair that had been set up in advance.
At this time, the attendant of the Ministry of Rites stepped forward and whispered in his ear, and soon the Ministry of Rites waited for Qi Huan and arched his hand and said: "Duke Ende, there is still more than half an hour before the goddess falls into the water, the prince will have a cup of tea and rest first, and when the time comes, the lower official will come to remind the prince." β
"Hmm" Qi Huan bowed slightly.
Li Wenbo, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, followed his entourage and walked outside.
"What's the matter" Li Wenbo walked without squinting, and asked his entourage in a very low voice.
"The girl has something to look for you." The attendant also replied in a very low voice, "The little one has invited her to your room." β
At the mention of Li Siqi, Li Wenbo sighed leisurely.
Li Siqi didn't want to be selected as a show girl. But only eight girls signed a letter of intent to be elected as a show girl. King Liang had no choice but to order, the jade girl is the show girl, and Li Siqi, as the head of the jade jade, just can't escape.
After receiving the order of King Liang, Li Siqi asked her father to write a letter to her grandfather Li Wenbo, asking him to find a way to exempt her from the quota of show girls. It's just that King Liang has already reported the list, and although Li Wenbo is said to be a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, he still can't refute the quota of King Liang.
Li Wenbo had no choice but to write a letter to his family and ask her to come over first, and he would find a way to make Li Siqi lose the election.
This time, the emperor ordered all the show girls to come over to pray for blessings, Li Wenbo originally planned to let Li Siqi pretend to be sick, but Li Siqi heard that he was going to the goddess building, so he had to come.
Others don't know, but Li Wenbo knows, these show girls are nominally here to pray for blessings, but in fact, they are chosen by King Qi first. King Qi is famous, and it is not a good thing for him to choose. He also told Li Siqi about this beforehand, and Li Siqi said at that time that she would try her best to stand in the back and not show up.
When Li Wenbo came to the room, Li Siqi was sitting in the room stirring handkerchiefs.
Seeing Li Wenbo coming in, Li Siqi hurriedly got up and saluted: "I've seen my grandfather." β
Li Wenbo has been an official in Yingtian all the year round, this little granddaughter has seen her several times when she was a child, and she is so old in a flash, and when she saw her granddaughter this time, Li Wenbo sighed that she was old.
"But if you don't want to go out if you feel uncomfortable, just stay here with your grandfather, and your grandfather will send someone to send you back early tomorrow morning."
"No" Li Siqi's face flushed, "Grandfather, granddaughter wants to see King Qi in private, is it okay?"
After Li Siqi finished speaking, he lowered his head and stirred the silk handkerchief with both hands.
The little girl's shy appearance is very cute, and she is her granddaughter, Li Wenbo was originally difficult to refuse, but thinking that Li Siqi still wanted to avoid King Qi at the beginning, he couldn't help asking: "In order to suddenly see King Qi, you can't look good, you are still a lot younger, you can't just look at the appearance." β
"Grandfather" Li Siqi raised his eyes and glanced at Li Wenbo, "My granddaughter has thought about it." The granddaughter of the prince can't get married, and the palace can't be entered. You have said that the daughter of Duke Wu De is already the best candidate for the queen, and even if the granddaughter is defeated, she may not be able to find a good family when she goes back. King Qi's reputation is a little bad, but it comes from the heart. It's really good for my granddaughter to look at the king. β
When King Liang reported her name, she secretly ran to find Guangyu, but Guangyu said congratulations on her election, and then walked away without waiting for her to speak. There was no one in his eyes at all, and when he heard about Guangyu's assassination of the prince later, Li Siqi felt that Guangyu must not be able to marry.
"You're too naΓ―ve." Li Wenbo sat down with a smile, "Grandfather also just got the news that this time King Qi will select nine show girls, but it has been decided, the nine show girls selected will stay in the goddess temple to pray for blessings, and he will not bring them back." β
"How can this be" Li Siqi bit her lower lip, "How long will it take to pray for blessings?"
"Grandfather doesn't know." Li Wenbo sighed, "At the beginning, you were all chosen for the crown prince, but now the emperor, you are the emperor's people, and even if Duke Ende saved the emperor, he didn't dare to choose someone with the emperor first." If you choose, you can only put it in the temple of the goddess as a goddess to pray for a long time. β
