Chapter 39: The Day of the Sacrifice

February 15.

It is the 400th anniversary of the Dongheng Dynasty ruled by the Ying clan.

And this day in the eighth year of Yingzheng is also the day of the resumption of the national sacrifice of the Bu family, which has been cut off for a hundred years.

In the early morning of the same day, King Yingning sent someone to serve Ruoxin to dress up, and she would participate in the royal sacrifice on this day in the name of King Yingning's quasi-princess.

After Guan Jingtian heard the news that King Ying Ning was going to take her to the royal altar, he got up from the warm quilt early in the morning and ran to the Jingyuan to wait. It's a pity that in the end, he was very frustrated after being told by King Ying Ning that except for the royal people, others are not allowed to enter.

Like a cabbage beaten by frost, sitting in the hall, Guan Jingtian looked sullenly at Ruoxin, who was fully dressed.

Ruoxin's dress today is based on the dress specifications of the royal prince and princess of Dongheng. The robes are overlapped, and the robes are swaying to the ground, complicated and luxurious. The body of the robe is a dark red brocade, the collar and cuffs are decorated with exquisite and gorgeous peony lace, and the fabric is embroidered with the pattern of a long-tailed luan bird with gold thread.

The right collar is a gown with wide cuffs reaching the knees. The waist is tied with a large belt, tight and slim, which perfectly outlines Ruoxin's curves.

Guan Dashao also saw Ruoxin wearing such a formal costume for the first time. Different from the casualness on weekdays, today's Ruoxin looks noble and elegant. After knowing his mind, Guan Jingtian no longer stingy with the praise of Ruoxin in his heart. It's just that everything didn't go well today, Ruoxin didn't help him speak, Guan Dashao was angry in his heart, so he just sat aside without saying a word, with a straight face, and his nose hummed from time to time to indicate that he was angry, but he still couldn't suppress the heart of the deer, and couldn't help but look up and peek a few times.

Ruoxin is not used to such complicated clothing, so she has adjusted the neckline of the triple deep coat to make herself breathable.

Guan Dashao, who had been clamoring since early in the morning, was now rarely sitting quietly on the sidelines. Bai Rong also stood behind her as usual, but ......

Ruoxin reached out and pulled Bai Rong's wrist.

"Girl?" Bai Rong's body stiffened slightly, and he looked at her in surprise.

When Guan Dashao peeked, he happened to see Ruoxin's actions, and said sourly: "Hmph, dead woman, the court is wide, are you a thin man again?" ”

Ruoxin's temperature was transmitted to Bai Rong's cold hands with the skin she touched. Guan Jingtian was an unintentional word, but the memory that he had precipitated in his heart came back to his mind, and his expression was rigid and white, and his slightly pale face turned slightly red at the moment.

It's just that Ruoxin is paying attention to another thing at this time.

Bai Rong's complexion seemed to be a little worse.

Turning over Bai Rong's hand, Ruoxin pressed the pulse on his wrist with three fingers and carefully diagnosed.

It's still the usual pulse.

Ruoxin always thought that Bai Rong was just too seriously injured, and his body had not fully recovered, so his body showed a qi deficiency. During this time, she did not diagnose him less, and even used a lot of expensive medicines in the palace to recuperate for him, but found that his body was as usual, without the slightest sign of improvement. She really began to doubt her medical skills.

Today, I wanted to leave him to rest in the mansion, but Bai Rong insisted on following. With a pair of white and dark and firm eyes, Ruoxin immediately abandoned her armor and defected. She is soft-hearted to the person she likes, let alone forcing him.

Anyway, stay by her side, she can always keep an eye on it, as long as she doesn't make him tired.

Letting go, Ruoxin looked up at Bai Rong.

What Bai Rong is wearing today is a set of long clothes that she has remade for him in her spare time these days. It is still the black he is used to, using the best fabrics in the palace, the workmanship is streamlined, there are no superfluous embellishments, and he still looks tall and handsome when worn on Bai Rong.

Ruoxin straightened his belt for him and asked, "Does the clothes still fit?" ”

Although he was still a little embarrassed in his heart, Bai Rong's face had returned to normal, and he reached out and touched his clothes very cherishedly, and nodded.

Although the relationship between the two has changed, Bai Rong still doesn't say much, Ruoxin knows that this is his nature, and now he is a little shy, and he feels even more pity in his heart. Looking at his cherished expression, Ruoxin said softly: "In the future, when I have time, I will cut some more cloth and buy a few more pieces for you." ”

"And Young Master Ben's." Guan Jingtian on the side was unwilling to be lonely and added.

Ruoxin turned her head to look at him and said with a smile: "Young Master Guan's clothes are all made by the tailors of Jiangnan Jinxiu Building, Ah Li is embarrassed to show his own craftsmanship." ”

Hearing Ruoxin's refusal, Guan Jingtian glanced at the clothes on Bai Rong's body, and felt a little hurt in his heart. He snorted, turned his head, and said angrily: "Such a crude handiwork, Young Master Ben can't look down on it." After being quiet for a moment, he couldn't help kicking Ruoxin's chair again, and said in an awkward voice: "Hey, dead woman, you make one for Young Master Ben, and Young Master Ben will reluctantly accept it." ”

Looking at Guan Dashao's cute expression of loving face and eagerness, Ruoxin couldn't help laughing, "Okay, if I have time in the future, I will sew one for Young Master Guan, I hope Young Master Guan will not dislike it." ”

Guan Jingtian still kept a straight face, but the corners of his mouth were a little secretly raised, and he still said in a hard tone: "Well, Young Master Ben will take a look and talk about it." If you don't do it well, Young Master Ben will still dislike it. ”

......

The moment was approaching, and King Ying Ning walked in from outside the hall. Today, in order to participate in the sacrificial ceremony, King Ying Ning also changed into a formal crown dress of Xuanhei, a little less romantic and a little more calm and solemn, and his admiring gaze lingered on Ruoxin's body for a moment, King Ying Ning spoke, "Are you ready?" ”

Ruoxin understood the secret words implied in his words, nodded and said, "Don't worry, the prince is ready." ”

Looking at Ruoxin, who was calm and calm, King Ying Ning smiled and said, "Okay, princess, let's set off immediately." ”

Guan Dashao, who was left out in the cold, turned his head, pursed his lips, and "hummed" vigorously, rubbing his toes on the ground hard, making a harsh and ugly sound, and was about to complain to Bai Rong, when he found that Bai Rong, who had been standing quietly on the side, also took steps and was about to leave with Ruoxin.

Guan Dashao's eyes widened in surprise.

"Wait, wait, wait." With a shout, Guan Dashao jumped up from the chair, ran forward quickly, dragged Bai Rong's sleeve, and said, "You go with you?" ”

Bai Rong stopped, looked down at the sleeve that was being pulled tightly by Guan Dashao, looked up at him, and nodded indifferently.

"Why can you go? Young Master Ben has to stay in the mansion? The black eyes widened and widened, and Guan Dashao had an angry expression as if he had been deceived.

Noticing the movement behind her, Ruoxin turned around and walked to Bai Rong's side.

"Bai Rong is my personal bodyguard, so he can enter the royal altar with me." Ruoxin looked at Guan Dashao's appearance of dragging Bai Rong, and said with a smile: "Guan Dashao, let him go, if you drag it out any longer, you will miss the hour." ”

Guan Da Sedum reluctantly let go of his hand, he looked at Ruoxin, and then at Bai Rong, and after a few times, he suddenly salivated and smiled at Bai Rong: "Where, stone, this young master will change with you, I will accompany the dead woman to the altar, and you stay in the mansion to rest, how about it?" ”

Bai Rong lowered his head, pressed the cuffs that were pulled out by Guan Dashao, walked a few steps, and stood behind Ruoxin again.

Ruoxin smiled, while Bai Rong was still expressionless, not squinting, holding the sword and standing quietly behind Ruoxin.

King Ying Ning glanced at Guan Dashao, "Nonsense, how can the royal rules be broken at will." You will stay in the house and accompany Ah Soft and Hongxian well. ”

The eldest brother of the prince spoke, no matter how much he cheated, it was useless.

Poor Guan Dashao could only reluctantly squat at the gate, watching Ruoxin and the others leave the palace in a chariot.
