It's just that when he shook his legs, his body was already weak, and his whole center of gravity was a little unstable in an instant, and he was about to fall to the ground.

Xie Qingyu's voice calling for help has not yet come and shouted.

Nangong Chengyu directly dodged and came to her.

Xie Qingyu only felt a pair of big hands gently grip her waist, and the whole person was immediately straightened.

"Look at you, so careless." Nangong Chengyu said with a chuckle.

On weekdays, it is rare to see Xie Qingyu so flustered, and for a while, Nangong Chengyu didn't expect his tone, which was already mixed with a little doting.

"I, I'm just not on my feet." Saying that, Xie Qingyu broke free from Nangong Chengyu's arms and began to walk, but his steps were extremely slow.

"Thank you, you can go slower."

Nangong Chengyu said lightly, and the unconscious smile on his lips already showed his good mood.

When Xie heard the rumor, he turned around and glared at Nangong Chengyu with a little coquettishness, and then turned around and slowly walked to the bedside.

In the next few days, Xie Qingyu's injuries on his body have gradually improved, although his shoulder is still not complete, but getting out of bed and walking is no longer a problem.

In a blink of an eye, it is time for the last test of the women's official election, the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth month of May!

Inside the examination center.

——

After Qin Zixuan woke up, after freshening up, he walked towards Changchun Terrace, the final place of this ritual test.

Although Xie Qingyu still did not show up at this time, Qin Zixuan still looked confident and did not have the slightest fear.

They had discussed the contents of all the previous rituals in detail, and everything was in their plan from the beginning of the sacrifice ceremony to the end of the night feast.

Changchun Terrace sounds like a high platform in its name, but it is actually a palace, located in the southeast corner of Gusu City, which is a place dedicated to large-scale sacrifices and banquets in Gusu City, and is subject to royal jurisdiction.

It is named after a high platform in the center of the inside, so it can be named Changchun Terrace, which means that Gusu is a blessed land, and it is full of spring all year round, and it is also saying that the soft feeling of the south of the Yangtze River is said.

Without royal approval, Changchun Terrace is always closed, and only opens on the last day of the annual general election for female officials, when the people of the whole city can enter to watch.

However, the places where the people are located are all on the periphery of Changchun Terrace, and the inside is still not close.

The highest point in Changchun Terrace, Genting, is where the festival was held.

Named for its towering clouds, the top of the cloud is known to the locals as the closest place to the heavens, so it is believed that worshipping here will be known to the heavens.

The appearance of its highest place is a six-story stone staircase made of white marble, which is carved with the pattern of the dragon, and in the middle of the stone staircase is a stone drum erected, and the front and back of the drum are engraved with the logo of the dragon.

The palace maids in Changchun Terrace have already arranged all the basic furnishings.

Most of the candidates at Genting this time have come, and they are all dressed up to attend, and they will participate in the sacrificial ceremony with the palace mama who is in charge of the sacrifice in Changchun Terrace.

Xie Youran, Lu Zhuyue and the others came here early in the morning and began to prepare carefully according to what they had learned from the palace etiquette manual.

"I think we're going to win this time!" Lu Zhuyue looked at the things that had been carefully prepared by the few of them, with a smug look on her face, fortunately, thanks to the palace manual, she guaranteed that they would not make any mistakes this time.

Xie Youran only smiled indifferently when he heard this, but his eyes were also very confident, and he was even more sure of this test.

Now that Xie Qing's rumors have been removed, the biggest threat at the moment is gone, and the leader of Jiangnan is already in her pocket.

"That is, now Xie Qingyu has been seriously injured and died, and there is no one on the field who can compare to us!" Sun Xuefei was also very proud when he heard this, his eyes glanced at the audience with a little contempt, and then said.

"Xie Qingyu is not here, then Qin Zixuan will definitely not come today." When Lu Zhuyue heard this, she glanced at Xie Youran, and now Xie Qing's rumor is seriously injured, isn't it from his own handiwork!

I remembered Qin Zixuan who lost face during the dance exam that day.

Everyone chuckled when they heard this, but they laughed and laughed and fell silent.

Because Qin Zixuan walked in calmly at this moment, and her confident aura was not affected in any way because Xie Qingyu was or was not.

"Qin Zixuan is actually here?"

"Isn't Xie Qingyu already injured, what is she still doing here? Is it embarrassing? ”

"If I were her, I'd be hiding from anyone today."

"It's just that it's too late to be embarrassed, where will it come."

……

At this moment, not only did they notice Qin Zixuan, because of the news of Xie Qingxuan's serious injury, almost everyone knew that Qin Zixuan's group was lost, so everyone looked at Qin Zixuan as soon as she entered.

There are mocking, ridiculed, and even some sympathetic.

When all the people who came to take the exam arrived today, Mama, the consul in charge of Changchun Terrace, led a group of palace maids towards everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the sacrificial ceremony of the ritual test, and you will follow me to salute later."

The presiding mother, Dongye, is the person in charge of this sacrifice ceremony, and the previous sacrifices are also managed by him.

At this moment, everyone saw two men in court clothes, walking towards everyone very seriously.

These two are the two examiners of today's exam.

The one on the left is Li Xuebin Li, this Li was born in a Daxian family, and he has paid attention to etiquette since he was a child, and then directly entered the etiquette department, but he achieved the position of deputy director in just a few years.

On the other side is Lord Wu Huaiyuan, Lord Wu is also from the Department of Etiquette, but he is not the deputy director, but the three-grade civil official of the dynasty, and he is very respectful of etiquette.

Mama Dongye hurriedly introduced the two to everyone.

"Meet your lordship."

When all the candidates heard this, they all bowed down to the two examiners, and they saluted very well.

"Everyone, please come up, this official is today's examiner, and the following is today's first sacrificial ceremony." Master Li looked at everyone and said expressionlessly.

After listening to the examiner's words, Mama Dongye instructed the palace maid beside her to start accepting the plans for this ritual test made by the ten groups of candidates.

Qin Zixuan, like everyone else, handed in the ritual test plan that had already been written.

Then Mama Dongye handed over all the plans written by the ten groups of contestants to the hands of the two examiners.

The two examiners came today to see the preparations for the sacrificial ceremony of the ten groups of contestants.

At this time, Mama Dongye led everyone to start sacrificing to the Dragon Ancestor.

The very rules completed by Xie Youran, Lu Zhuyue and others, including the sachets, jewelry, and clothing colors, were all decorated in accordance with what was written in the palace etiquette manual.

Xie Youran glanced at the audience indifferently at this moment, and the corners of her lips moved slightly, she was bound to win the card in this ceremony.

And Qin Zixuan also proceeded step by step as she discussed with Xie Qingyu that day, but there was no panic on her face.

After talking to Xie Qingyu that day, they had already thought of an idea, although the sacrificial ceremony was more serious, it was not impossible to be brilliant, and they could only start from some details.

The two examiners here are behind everyone, watching the sacrifices of these ten groups of contestants, and from time to time they look at the Dragon Boat Banquet preparation plan received by Mama Dongye in their hands, and then according to these plans, look at the on-the-spot reaction of these contestants.

"Huaiyuan, do you see if the girl is wearing the colorful embroidery thread worn by the gilt beads?" When Master Li looked at everyone, he found that everyone was dressed very appropriately today.

At this time, a person in the field suddenly entered the sight of the two examiners.

"It should be Qin Zixuan!" Lord Wu also raised his eyes, and then singled out the plans of Qin Zixuan and Xie Qingyu, and read them carefully.

Master Li hadn't seen the Dragon Boat Festival preparation book handed over by Qin Zixuan and Xie Qingyu, but he didn't have any surprises today, but his eyes lit up, and he immediately looked at Qin Zixuan with appreciation.

"It's rare to be so careful!"

Originally, after reading the previous plans, I didn't think there was anything new, so Xie Youran and Lu Zhuyue's book was thoughtful, and then there were some novelties at the banquet.

I didn't expect Xie Qingyu and Qin Zixuan's Dragon Midnight Banquet preparation plan to be even better!

In addition to the thoroughness of the etiquette, you can also think of the use of gilt beads and colorful embroidery thread, this small detail is often overlooked, and the part of the banquet that follows is also quite detailed, and it is full of novelty, almost some of the combinations of dances and musical instruments written are something they have never seen.

The time of the sacrifice is not long, but it is not short.

By the time everyone had completed all the steps, it was already past noon.

"This festival is over!" After Mama Fuyuba had finished handling all the sacrifices, she said to everyone.

Then Mama Dongye walked in front of the two examiners and said a few words.

Although Mama Dongye is just a grandmother in the palace, she is very familiar with the affairs of Changchun Taiying, and she also knows a lot about the situation of these young ladies who came to take the exam.

"Qin Zixuan, why did you come alone today, thank you for the rumors?"

When Lord Wu saw the end of the sacrifice, he looked at Qin Zixuan and asked with a surprised face, the name written on the preparatory book was Xie Qingyu's name, but Xie Qingyu did not appear.

Qin Zixuan slowly retreated from the sacrificial platform, with a vague smell of wormwood on her body, and said to the two examiners very respectfully.

"A few days ago, he was assassinated in Xunyang Building and was seriously injured."

Although his tone was light, the faint worry in his expression could not be hidden.

Since Qin Zixuan approached, Master Li smelled the bitter smell of wormwood on her body, and sighed even more in his heart, sure enough, according to the plan, he smoked his clothes with the breath of wormwood, and hung gilt beads and colorful embroidery thread around his waist......

It's just that he didn't expect that the author of this plan was seriously injured! can't come to the sacrifice ceremony, no wonder there is only Qin Zixuan today.

However, Lord Wu was just a little stunned, he had come to Jiangnan a few days ago, and the assassination of Hou Shizi Wu'an and Xie Qingyu was in an uproar in the city, but he didn't know that Xie Qingyu was the Xie Qingyu who wrote this plan today.
