In late autumn, the weather begins to get cooler.

After the first rain of late autumn, the golden cinnamon began to wither. The flowers and trees around the manna hall have been replaced with different varieties of juhua flowers, which are green and white.

The flowers are of different shapes, some of them are like waterfalls draining thousands of miles; Some are like fans poking their heads out slightly; The petals were like finely cut silk, and the delicate ones seemed to scatter when the wind blew, and the stamens were hidden in them, crystal clear.

Occasionally, when the wind blows, the fragrance seeps through every pore of the body, and the heart is relaxed.

With a strong right hand, Xiao Xiang cut off the green chrysanthemum and put it in the tray that Xi Xi was carrying. Maybe it was because I got up too fast and suddenly felt dizzy. She hurriedly held Xi Xi on the side, and waited for this vertigo to pass, and then she eased up. She clapped her hands and showed a smile: "Xixi, insert these juhua flowers into the jade bottle in the hall." Go back and pick some small flowers, I'm going to make wine. ”

Xi Xi's face showed a look of surprise, Xiao Xiang didn't know what to do. She naturally understood how shocking her idea of making wine would cause, but she was really curious, she had only seen the ancients brew juhua wine in books before, and the wine was fragrant and mellow. But that wine needs to be made with good juhua flowers, but good varieties of juhua flowers are extremely expensive...... This will be full of high-quality juhua flowers in front of you, and if you don't take advantage of it, you can't help yourself.

I can't care about other people's eyes.

Since the defense machine solved the Gu for her, she has indeed had a comfortable life. The enemies in the shadows didn't come to her again...... Perhaps because someone accused Li Ke of extravagance a while ago, Li Shimin was furious and reprimanded him. It seems that his fate is closely related to Li Ke. However, if Li Ke is favored, her life is in danger; Li Ke was gloomy, and the man didn't take himself seriously.

Xiao Xiang showed a smile on his face, and while walking back quickly, he said, "Hurry up and change my clothes for me, don't miss the time of the dinner." ”

Xi Xi hurriedly agreed, and quickly followed behind her.

The banquet is to celebrate Xiao Xiang's complete recovery, although it is not a formal banquet, she is the protagonist, so there is no sloppiness in the costume.

Li Shimin specially sent someone to inform her that he would take her to the gods before the dinner to thank God for giving her a new life. That is, she had to wear a dress specially made for the sacrifice to the gods.

The dress had already been tried on three days ago, and Xiao Xiang still remembered his shock at that time. The dress was so gorgeous that she couldn't describe her feelings in words, and she was shocked beyond words.

In ancient times, people were extremely awe-inspiring for ghosts and gods, and the day and hour of this sacrifice to the gods were selected by Li Shimin Yuan Tiangang after several divinations, no matter from the heavenly stem or the earthly branch, it was beneficial to the princess without any harm.

Li Shimin's love for Princess Gaoyang has reached its peak, and this festival is naturally very grand. Comparatively speaking, Xiao Xiang had to suffer several times more...... At this time, there were still five hours before the sacrifice, and the palace ladies began to make preparations for her. The female officer in the lead was afraid that there would be no time...... Xiao Xiang couldn't help but sigh secretly, so he had to let them toss himself.

First, it is bathed with the dew collected for 100 days, then the whole body is covered with a layer of honey, which is massaged by the palace maid for fifteen minutes, allowing the fragrance of the honey to penetrate the skin and make up for the damaged skin, and then wash it off. Applying a layer of floral dew, the faint fragrance is particularly pleasant, this is the ancient toner, right?

After applying the toner, apply a layer of carefully blended fragrance. After the fragrance dew is completely absorbed by the body, then put on the dress required for the ceremony, the pink Liuxian skirt, with a long tassel, and a jade bell made of gold thread on the tassel, which is crisp and crisp when walking, which is very good. Outside is a crimson wide-sleeved placket Xiangfeng dress, because Xiao Xiang is not a queen, just a princess, so there are only seven phoenixes on the clothes. In fact, this has also exceeded the system, according to the Tang system, the princess has a maximum of five phoenixes on her clothes. Li Shimin asked people to embroider seven for her, showing her nobility. The phoenix was embroidered extremely realistically, and it had already spread its wings, as if it was about to soar into the sky. The gold and silver threads are intertwined to embroider gorgeous feathers on the phoenix's body, and under the refraction of the light, the gorgeous teaching people can't open their eyes.

The dress is very long and a little heavy, forcing people to walk dignified and graceful. Her hair is also combed into a high bun, which also seems to be in the style of a phoenix. In the middle of the bun, a phoenix-shaped golden step was inserted, and a gold chain was held in the phoenix's mouth, and at the end of the chain fell a pearl as big as a little thumb, smooth and round, hanging straight to Xiao Xiang's eyebrows. Swaying, it looks full of style.

The face was thinly twisted with cotton thread, and all the tiny hairs were twisted clean in the slight stinging sensation, and the face suddenly appeared very smooth. Dip a cotton cloth in flower dew, wipe every corner of your face clean, and slightly sprinkle a layer of lightly scented pollen to bring out an even white complexion. The eyes are covered with a stone-polished eyeshadow and the long eyeliner is outlined with ink lines. The rouge made of hibiscus flowers brought a slight flush on the sides of the cheeks, and then the red lips were gently pursed, and the color of the lips became more and more vivid. Meticulous makeup is not something that can be done in a moment, and by the time it is all done, three hours have passed.

That's when the dress is done. And according to the palace maid, if it is an annual ceremony to worship the sky, it will be even more exaggerated than this. Xiao Xiang didn't dare to laugh or cry, for fear that he would have to do it again because he had made up his makeup.

She thought that she definitely didn't have such strong stamina, so she quickly gathered her mind, and with the support of Xi Xi and another palace maid, she got into the princess's special luan car and headed towards Ziwei Palace.

Ziwei Palace is already full of cigarette smoke at the moment, and the sandalwood used for sacrifice is slowly burning in the incense burner, the taste is a little too strong, but it will not make people sick to their stomachs. Xiao Xiang is a little unaccustomed to the dress on his body, and every step is cautious, but he looks particularly noble and virtuous because of this.

Li Shimin stood in front of Ziwei Palace and waited for her, and Li Chengqian, Li Ke, Li Tai, and Li Zhi stood behind him in two cases. Xiao Xiang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Li Shimin was really good to his "daughter", a little too much, in a society where men are inferior to women, he actually let his four sons pray for him, not to mention that there is also a prince of the country.

She took a deep breath and walked slowly.
