，

Luo Qifang glanced at the Great Elder, whose face was pale, and said, "Childe, today's temple matter is really ridiculous, and it is inevitable that the ugly thing will happen again, should we 'improve' the blessing ceremony?" ”

Luo Qifang's "improvement" actually meant to simplify the steps of the blessing ceremony, and in the final analysis, the purpose was to try to gradually reduce the transcendent status of the Holy Fire Sect in the minds of the people of Nanhuai.

Of course, Feng Yan understood Luo Qifang's intentions, and said, "That's right." ”

"Great Elder, anyway, there is nothing unpleasant about the prayer ceremony, so why close the door of the temple from people, yes and no?"

Having said that, if the Great Elder should not, it would be as if the prayer ceremony was unsightly, and besides, the prayer ceremony in the temple today would have the scandal of "not being seen".

The Great Elder's face was almost as black as the bottom of a pot, since he had even agreed to the previous condition, this condition was even more nothing, and he responded again: "The Generalissimo is right!" "I almost didn't vomit a mouthful of old blood in my heart.

Feng Yan seemed to have only noticed that the Great Elder was kneeling on one knee at this time, and said with a smile: "Great Elder, don't be too restrained, get up." ”

"Thank you, Generalissimo." The Great Elder smiled and put his right hand on his left chest again and saluted, and then got up, his left knee was already kneeling a little painful and numb, but he could only make a casual appearance.

In any case, the matter has finally been revealed.

The Great Elder breathed a sigh of relief, and a cold sweat broke out on his back, soaking his middle clothes.

Thinking of the price paid by the Holy Fire Sect for this, he hated Suna very much in his heart, and bowed down and said goodbye: "The generalissimo is busy with official business, so we won't bother." ”

Feng Yan naturally didn't leave them behind, and the three Great Elders quickly left the main hall with the soldier who led the way before, and the backs of the three of them looked like a sense of embarrassment.

Luo Qifang looked at their backs faintly, and said, "Childe, today can be regarded as an unintentional willow in the shade." ”

If it weren't for today's misfortune, with the lofty status of the Holy Fire Sect in Nanhuai, it would not be so easy for them to make trouble, and if they didn't get it right, it would attract a backlash from the people of Nanhuai, causing turmoil in the hearts of the people.

This time, they really picked up a big bargain.

Feng Yan played with a small luminous cup, took a leisurely sip of wine, and said: "The folk customs and customs of Huaizhou are very different from ours in Dasheng, it is easy to take down this country by force, and if you want to subdue them, you can only swallow them step by step." ”

The aroma of wine filled his mouth and lingered on the tip of his nose.

Wine.

Feng Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking: Zhen Zhen doesn't know if you like it or not?

Thinking of Duanmu's slightly drunk appearance, Feng Yan's heart rippled, and said to himself, he didn't want to get drunk Zhenzhen, didn't he have a drink?

The corners of Feng Yan's lips curled, his phoenix eyes were as bright as the night sky full of stars, and he said casually: "Chief Yan, Master Pei, this Huaizhou wine is good, you must try it." ”

Yan Zhaolin and Master Pei responded with a smile, while Luo Qifang and the others thought of the matter of the toast again, and thought that Feng Yan was a pun, and their expressions became subtle again, making Yan Zhaolin and Master Pei look inexplicable.

It was in this strange atmosphere that Captain Hu entered the main hall in high spirits.

"Childe, the last general has already passed down Childe's order, and gave that holy woman to Sang Laji's ancestor and grandson as a concubine." Captain Hu said with his eyebrows fluttering, still marveling at Feng Yan's idea in his heart. Wonderful, really wonderful.

Luo Qifang and the others' expressions were even more strange, but Yan Zhaolin and Master Pei were confused, and said in their hearts: What concubine?! Could it be that Nanhuai still has the custom of concubines?! A barbarian is a barbarian!

Feng Yan didn't bother to care about this matter at all, and waved his hand and said, "You can just do it." It means that you don't have to talk to him in the future.

As if he had had had some big errand, Captain Hu responded with a fist in joy.

He came and went in a hurry, and after not staying for a while, he left the main hall again, and under the sugar palm tree not far from the hall, there were already seven or eight young generals waiting for him.

In the end, this is a fragrant thing, these Dasheng soldiers are far away in a foreign country, they are very bored every day, it is rare to have a lively look, there are many people who want to hear the news, but there are very few people who can enter the palace, these young generals also take advantage of the errand, and they can't wait to surround Hu Caiwei, and talk nonsense:

"Old Hu, I heard that there was a big scene of catching rape in that temple just now?"

"Is that Nanhuai eldest princess really naked, and still hugging a pair of grandchildren?"

"This is not an ancient poem, what a pear flower pressed begonia!"

“……”

The young generals outside spoke with great interest, their voices louder and louder, and their laughter and boos were more or less transmitted into the main hall.

Luo Qifang and the others also felt funny when they heard it, and the atmosphere in the hall became a lot lighter.

On the same day, Suna was removed from the position of saint by the Great Elder, the Holy Fire Sect has a history of more than three hundred years, and the Holy Flame Sect usually leaves office after marriage, which is the first time in the history of the Holy Fire Sect.

In the face of the doubts of many believers, the Great Elder righteously told Suna about her adultery with others in the temple, and reprimanded Suna for fornicating during the prayer ceremony, which was a crime of blasphemy and apostasy, and the sin was unforgivable.

This kind of scandal is simply unheard of, and those believers are in an uproar for a while, and then they understand why today's blessing ceremony ended without a hitch, it turned out that it was because Suna committed adultery in the temple as a saint, which caused the fire god to be angry, so the blessing ceremony had to be interrupted.

For a time, the status of the former saint Suna in the hearts of believers fell to the lowest point.

When Suna was escorted out of the temple, the anger of the believers also climbed to the highest point, and all kinds of insults and curses and countless vegetable peels were smashed at Suna.

"Shameless! Lewdness! ”

"Suna, you've been abandoned by the Vulcan! In the future, you will live in dark muddy water for the rest of your life! ”

"Harm others and yourself! Even if you yourself are abandoned by the Vulcan, you will anger the Vulcan and affect us! ”

“……”

Those hysterical voices were like thousands of knives stabbing Suna's body, her mind was in chaos, she couldn't think, she couldn't face reality, the whole person was confused, and her expression was sluggish.

At this moment, she only regretted that she had lit the incense stick in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, otherwise she would not have ended up in such an unmanageable situation.

She didn't know how she left the temple, let alone how she was escorted to the Sang Mansion in the north of Da Yue City.

The sun was shining outside, but the Mulberry Mansion was shrouded in a thick layer of clouds.

Sanvipa knelt in the courtyard inside the gate, and Sanlaj held a whip thicker than his thumb in his hand, which was thrown heavily on Sanvipa's back.

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”

The whip cut through the young man's robe and whipped him heavily on his skin, leaving a series of red whip marks, which were shocking.

Rao is like this, and he can't quench the anger in Sanglaji's heart.

Sanlaji's face was pale, and he waved his whip high, and then threw it down with another whip......

Sanraj had already heard the cause and effect of the incident from Sanvipa's mouth, and only then did he understand why he had "lost control" in the temple and made a terrible mistake.

Thinking that Fang had just been caught on the spot by the Great Elder in the temple, Sang Laji's face became even more ugly.

He regretted it, as early as February, when Sang Weipa ran to find Feng Yan, he shouldn't have let Sang Weipa go, he thought that if he was punished a little and admonished, Sang Weipa would learn to be obedient, but he didn't expect that this grandson had been carried away by a woman, and he would risk his life regardless of his family!

The thought that their Sang family might be buried at the hands of such stupid and unscrupulous descendants, Sang Laji almost vomited a mouthful of old blood. He worked hard for the future of the Sang family, but Sang Weipa, a fool, was dragging him back in the dark!

Hateful, really hateful!

Sanlaj hated it to the extreme, and the whip in his hand was more hateful than hateful, hating both Suna and Sanvipa.

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”

The sound of whipping was incessant, Sanvipa gritted his teeth and struggled to support the man, the wound on his back was so terrible that the people around him could hardly bear to look at it anymore, but no one dared to intercede with him.

It wasn't until the porter suddenly came to report that Suna had arrived, that the whipping stopped abruptly.

Sanlaji couldn't take care of this grandson anymore, handed the whip to the domestic servant, and hurried to greet the guests, of course, he was not Suna, but the four Dasheng soldiers who escorted Suna.

"It's rare for a few adults to come to the humble house, please come and sit inside."

Sang Laji greeted them with a smile and wanted to take the opportunity to make friends with them, but these four people didn't give face at all, and the team leader directly refused, and conveyed Feng Yan's order lukewarmly: "The generalissimo has an order, give Suna to Lord Sang and Ling Sun as a concubine." ”

After passing the word, the four of them left without any nostalgia, and there was one more Suna in the courtyard.

Suna was still wearing the red dance dress before, but there was a gray cloak around the outside, and the cloak was still stained with the leaves and melon skins that had been smashed by the believers before, her thick and curly hair was messily draped down, and there were faint bruises on her neck, her lips were red and swollen, and her eyes wandered, describing her embarrassment, like a madwoman.

She is no longer the most delicate and dazzling red rose in Nanhuai, she has withered in advance......

Suna gathered her cloak slightly uneasily.

"Bang!"

There was the sound of the door closing from behind, and almost in the next moment, Suna saw that the smile on Sanlaji's face suddenly disappeared, and there was a thick gloom in her eyes, which almost overflowed.

Suna's pupils shrank sharply, and her heart tightened.

These people used to kneel humbly in front of her, but now they dare to look at her with such eyes.

Thinking about what was happening in the temple, her heart ached, and she habitually wanted to scold: "Let ...... go"

"Suna!" Sang Laji's face became even colder, and he unceremoniously interrupted Suna, reminding her of her current status with a title, "Since you have entered my Sang family's house, I will take good 'care' of you." ”

Sanraj meaningfully increased the volume of the word "care", and the threat was overflowing.

"......" Suna's pale face turned a little whiter.

Sang Laji squinted at her contemptuously, and said lightly: "There are some singers at home, your dancing skills are acceptable, then go and teach them, wait a few days, you can also entertain guests with them, our family does not raise idlers!" ”

In Nanhuai, the mansion of the noble family basically has the habit of raising singers and dancers, and those concubines who are not favored will also be used as singers and dancers, they are all used to entertain guests, not only singing and dancing, but also accompanying wine, but also sleeping together, which is the lowest, except that the guests who accompany are not peddlers and pawns, and there is no difference from prostitutes outside.

What the?! Suna couldn't believe her ears and blurted out, "You dare! ”

Sang Weipa, who was kneeling on the ground, also showed a shocked expression, his green eyes widened, and shouted: "Grandfather! ”

Sanlaj answered Suna with his actual actions, slammed his hand, and grabbed Suna's neck with his fat fingers.

Suna's neck was slender and slender like a swan, and she was easily pinched by Sanlaji with one hand, and she struggled like a fish thrown ashore, Sakura's lips opened slightly, and it was difficult to breathe, as if she would faint in the next moment.

Sanvipa shouted again: "Grandfather! ”

He sprang up from the ground to stop Sanraj, but the servants beside him were not ornaments, and they didn't need Sanraj's orders, so they strode forward, clamped Sanvipa from left to right, and pressed him to his knees again.

During the struggle, the cloak on Suna's body fell from her body, and the red dance dress inside was torn, as if it had been torn by someone, and the bruises on her neck and collarbone were shocking.

Sang Laji looked at Suna like a flower in the wind, his eyes were still cold, without a trace of pity and pity, and said coldly: "If you dare or not, you can take a look!" ”

"If you have the guts to harm my Sang family, then use your body to 'pave the way' for my Sang family!"

Sanraj's voice was so cold that it was about to fall out of the ice slag, and he didn't even look at Sanvipa. For this eldest grandson who was once important, he has been extremely disappointed, and this grandson has been abolished.

"Grandfather, please!" Sanwipa shouted hoarsely, his heart as cold as ice. He knew that his grandfather would dare, and for the sake of the family, his grandfather would dare to do anything!

The others in the courtyard were silent, staring at the tips of their shoes with low eyebrows, not daring to look at the three of Sanlaji's grandson and Suna.

In less than a stick of incense, the clouds above the Mulberry Mansion seemed to become thicker.

What happened at today's blessing ceremony was naturally seen by many people, and no matter what the process was, the end was that the Holy Fire Sect bowed its head after all.

It was like a pebble suddenly falling into the surface of the lake, and there were ripples in circles on the surface of the lake, spreading out to all sides.

Originally, there were still more than a dozen city lords in Huaizhou who were still waiting to see the situation, and then they also sent envoys to surrender, and the remaining cities in Huaizhou were gradually subdued.

At the same time, the great victory in the south and the renaming of Nanhuai to Huaizhou and the inclusion of Dasheng territory also spread all over the prefectures and capitals of Dasheng by an urgent document of 800 miles.

Dasheng has been in a weak position in the past ten years, and has been in a weak position, the barbarians such as Beiyan, Nanhuai and Puguo have repeatedly attacked, and Dasheng has been exhausted and has suffered heavy losses.

The literati and students from all over the country wrote gorgeous essays and poems, sang praises of virtue, and the soldiers in various states and prefectures also seemed to have taken some kind of panacea, and their morale soared.

The supplies of military salaries, grain, grass, equipment, etc., were distributed on time, and the suppression of bandits in various places was gradually effective......

Dasheng seems to have begun to come out of the long trough, changing his previous disadvantages and gradually getting better.

The capital is also filled with a joyful atmosphere, and after entering April, the weather is getting warmer and warmer.

Duanmufei, who hadn't entered the palace for a long time, entered the palace early in the morning to visit Hanxing, and said that he added makeup to Hanxing in advance.

Hanxing's wedding date is coming, and since the wedding date was set, she has been detained in the palace and has not been out of the palace for a long time.

Hanxing was raised by Duanmu Guifei a while ago, and now she is locked up in the palace every day, which makes her feel particularly difficult, counting the days every day and waiting for her to get married.

"More than a month!" Han Xing sighed and said, "This day is too slow!" ”

Hanxing was looking forward to moving out of the palace to live after the wedding, so he obediently held back and didn't sneak out of the palace to play. Ahem, of course, part of the reason is because Duanmu Guifei sent people to follow her all the time.

"It's coming, it's coming." Duanmu patted Hanxing's shoulder perfunctorily and smoothed her hair, "It's been more than a month." Duanmu Fei only wished that life would slow down, and her peacock cloak had not yet been embroidered to a third of it!

Congzhen, who was waiting in the pavilion, looked at his master indescribably, and also felt that the next month or so would be a little difficult.

The four princesses wanted to sneak out to play all day long, but the concubine Niangniang gave a strict order not to allow the four princesses to leave the palace, so that these slaves and maids stared at the four princesses every day like cats and mice......

Han Xing still pouted, looking wilted, Duanmu Fei took out a palm-sized long box from his sleeve, and coaxed her: "Look, this is the hairpin I found someone to give you, and the way I painted it was to add makeup to you." ”

Han Xing was suddenly diverted, and couldn't wait to open the long box with peony flowers.

The box is covered with black velvet cloth, a delicate red gold dotted emerald hairpin lies quietly on the black velvet cloth, the hairpin head is made into a pattern of yellow warbler playing hibiscus, the body of the yellow warbler is made of dotted emerald technology, and decorated with sapphires, the golden tired silk is woven into wings, and the beak of the bird spits out three clusters of tassels made of red coral beads as large as rice grains, gorgeous and smart.

The yellow warbler on this hairpin is, of course, Hanxing's pet amber.

"Cousin Scarlet, you've made amber so beautiful." Han Xing pinched the hairpin and refused to let go, and looked at it carefully over and over again, his expression between his eyebrows and eyes was radiant, sweeping away the previous decadent appearance.

Seeing this, Congzhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the fourth girl of Duanmu was the best at coaxing her own princess.

Zhen smiled and stepped forward and added tea to the cups of the two girls.

The flower tea exudes a faint fragrance, mixed with the scent of roses and tea, which wafts in the wind, and blends perfectly with the floral fragrance in the imperial garden.

Han Xing wanted to try this hairpin, but he felt that the clothes he was wearing today did not match this hairpin, so he pondered that he would later pull Duanmu Fei back to Cuizhai and choose a suitable clothes to try this new hairpin.

Han Xing carefully put the hairpin into the box, and chatted with Duanmu Fei: "Cousin Scarlet, if you don't come again, this palace will be sick." You don't know, the palace is boring, every day is lifeless, the palace was going to write a letter to you and the eldest sister, but the mother concubine is not even allowed to do this. ”

Duanmu Fei just pursed her lips and smiled, she could probably guess why Duanmu Guifei didn't allow Hanxing to write a letter, after all, it was an eventful time in the palace, in case Hanxing's letter wrote something that shouldn't be written, it was not beautiful if someone took the handle.

Han Xing also knew in her heart that she was just complaining a few words.

"Cousin Scarlet, you just came, why don't you write a letter to the eldest sister. The queen mother has been sick for the past two months and has not come out, but the palace has asked the doctor in private, saying that the queen mother is fine. You tell the eldest sister not to worry. ”

Duanmu replied, "I'll write a letter to Sister Wuyang when I go back." ”

Without the Xie family jumping up and down to pry the queen, and with the lessons of the Xie family in front of her, the queen naturally calmed down.

All in all, it's good that the queen can figure it out, and it doesn't cost Wuyang's effort.

"By the way, you remember to tell the eldest sister that the fourth emperor brother will go over to the queen mother every day to say goodbye, and with him watching, it will be fine." Han Xing added another sentence, and said, remembering that in fact, in addition to the four princes, there was another person who also went to "see" the queen every day, but the queen didn't see him.

Thinking of that person, Han Xing smiled mysteriously, leaned over to Duanmu Fei and said lively, and his voice was not lowered at all: "Cousin Scarlet, the third emperor brother in this palace is still jumping up and down these days, and he is making trouble every day to divorce his wife." ”

Han Xing pursed his lips and sneered, "It's a pity, it's not that he can take a break if he wants to, no one will allow him." He couldn't see his father, nor did he see the queen's mother, and the prince's divorce from his wife was not something that could be done with a casual word, and the Ministry of Rites didn't pay attention to him at all. ”

Han Xing said energetically, full of interest.

"This palace tells you that the two of them are either arguing, fighting, or smashing things every day! Xie Xiangling is a person who doesn't suffer a loss, the third emperor brother scolded her, she dared to smash things over, the decorations over there in the three institutes were almost smashed by her, I heard that those cups and cups have been changed several sets, all of which are deducted from the three emperor brothers' monthly salaries. ”

"In the past two months, the third emperor brother has not received the monthly salary."

Han Xing smiled happily and leaned forwards and leaned back.

She said, the Third Emperor Brother and Xie Xiangling are basically the same pot with a lid, and they can't match it anymore, so don't take it apart to harm others.

Han Xing covered her mouth, laughing so hard that her stomach hurt, and her crisp and happy laughter spread out with the wind, and also into the ears of the fifth princess Chaolu behind a few peach trees not far away.

Chaolu's face sank, and he unconsciously reached out and plucked a peach blossom, grabbed it in his hand and kneaded it.

She casually threw away the residual flowers in her hand, took the handkerchief handed by the palace maid, wiped her fingers, and then walked around the peach trees casually and walked in the direction of the pavilion.

Congzhen in the pavilion was the first to see Chaolu, and reminded Han Xing with his ear, and Han Xing raised his eyes and looked at Chaolu. She also guessed that Chaolu might have heard what she had just said, but there was no embarrassment on her face.

Chaolu quickly walked outside the pavilion, and Han Xing didn't say hello, and asked straight to the point: "Fifth Emperor Sister, what are you doing here?" This sentence is very polite, and the implication is that if there is nothing to do, Chaolu should take a detour.

Chaolu was already annoyed in his heart, and was even more displeased when Han Xing questioned him like this, and he held the handkerchief tightly with a pair of plain hands, but a shallow smile bloomed on his face, and he almost said: "Fourth Emperor Sister, the little sister came to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers and take a walk, and just saw the Fourth Emperor Sister and the Fourth Duanmu Girl here, so she came over to say hello." ”

As he spoke, Chaolu's gaze fell on the long box in Han Xing's hand, the long box did not have a lid, and the fulcrum green hairpin placed in the box could be clearly seen.

She didn't give Han Xing a chance to drive people away, so she had nothing to say and said: "Fourth Emperor Sister, your hairpin is really beautiful, it looks better than the imperial one!" ”

Han Xing listened to it and felt that Chaolu still had a bit of vision, and proudly showed off: "This is the appearance painted by Cousin Scarlet, she found someone to beat her and add makeup to the palace!" ”

Chao Lu's smile stiffened, the handkerchief in his hand tightened, and a trace of jealousy flashed in Han Xing's eyes, and it disappeared in a flash.

Before his father stroked, he gave Han Xing an early marriage.

Originally, Chaolu looked down on the Li family, the Li family was just a military general, not even a title, Li Tingyou was even more so, neither the eldest son, nor could he continue the family business, and he had to rely on himself to work hard for his future.

However, this is not the case.

Now that my father is frail, he doesn't know when he will go west, and his marriage has not yet been settled...... What if the father really ......
