Seeing the place where the smoke was rising, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu didn't care about his status, picked up his robe and ran to the front of the Chengqian Palace, seeing the situation in front of the palace, his face turned pale, he sat on the ground with his buttocks, rolled his eyes and almost fainted.

"It's on fire...... It's over......" Some of the officials of the Ministry of Rites were already crying, "God is going to kill us!" "Originally, the time to prepare things was too tight, and finding something was like a war, but now I finally got ready to do it, and it was still on fire!

Baili Junyi's face was as cold as a layer of frost: "Don't howl, otherwise you won't have a chance to cry until dawn, so don't hurry up and clean it up!" ”

After he finished speaking, he strode to the front of the Chengqian Palace, looking at the messy scene, his eyes became colder and colder. Speaking of which, the fire was not big, but the shelves they had set up were burned, and some of the things prepared around for the sacrifice to the heavens were also blackened by the fireworks, and they could not be used again tomorrow.

The guarding guard knelt on the ground, feeling the pressure from Baili Junyi, and was so frightened that he didn't even dare to raise his head: "The slave is guilty, please punish the king of Yijun." ”

Baili Jun stood with his hands in his hands, and the night gilded a layer of coldness on him: "You guys don't guard it well, what are you doing?" ”

"Back to the county king, I just saw a black shadow flashing, the minions and others thought of the assassins they had captured before, and they were worried that there were still comrades lurking in the palace, and the emperor would sacrifice to the sky tomorrow, if there was a mistake, the minions and others would be unable to redeem death, so they went over to check, and only walked away less than a cup of tea, and it was on fire here."

"Get up and clean up this place!"

"Yes!" Seeing that Baili Junyi did not mean to pursue their dereliction of duty, the guards hurriedly got up and began to clean the scene neatly.

Zhang Yun, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, sat on the ground with a sluggish expression, and Baili Junyi called him several times before he came back to his senses: "Lord Zhang? Master Zhang! ”

Zhang Yun slowly got up from the ground, squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and only felt that his neck was cold, which was a terrible omen: "Lord Jun, this time our Ministry of Rites is at the end." ”

Baili Jun smiled coldly, and his deep eyes were as sharp as autumn wind and falling leaves: "The sky is not yet dawn, and the prayer ceremony has not yet begun, and it is not clear who will lose or win this battle!" "Do you want to use this to suppress him...... Oh, let's take it step by step and see!

Prince De's Mansion, Baili Jinchuan listened to the report of his subordinates, and finally showed a smile on his gloomy face: "Okay, retreat." ”

This step of chess is specially designed by him for Baili Junyi, including the three princes inviting folk artists to perform in the palace, and it is also his idea to let people pass it on, if those beasts don't go crazy at the banquet, he also secretly arranged people to ruin the performance, so that people can lead to the New Year's banquet to see blood is unlucky, and it is necessary to pray for peace in the New Year.

Prayer naturally needs to be used in the Ministry of Rites, and Baili Junyi has just been transferred there, and the blessing ceremony will naturally have his share of responsibility, and there are people in the Ministry of Rites who have him, first shirk and block him, if it is not successful, let people set fire to the things used to pray for blessings, and when the father and emperor get up tomorrow and see a messy scene, can he spare Baili Junyi?

Thinking about it, the smile on his lips faded little by little, and a trace of coldness flashed from the bottom of his eyes, if he succeeded in calculating Shen Ninghua today, then Baili Junyi's situation would be even more miserable, for Shen Ninghua, he would definitely make a big fuss in the Chengqian Palace, and in the end, he still couldn't keep the love in his heart, even if his father didn't give him too heavy a punishment for the sake of blood and family, it would make him completely lose his chance with that throne!

Shen Ninghua...... Baili Jinchuan gently stroked the scar on his wrist, only to feel that the scar was still hot and painful, always reminding him how he was ruined by a woman, if he didn't get Shen Ninghua for a day, this obsession would haunt her for a day, until he was tortured and crazy!

In the palace of the king of Yijun, Shen Ninghua was worried about Baili Junyi in the palace, and he was already sleeping unsteadily, but he suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart, and woke up suddenly, sitting on the bed and gasping slightly.

Hongling, who was keeping vigil, saw her wake up, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "Miss, what's wrong with you, but what's wrong?" ”

Shen Ninghua shook his head, the sky outside the window was still dark: "What time is it?" ”

"It's already dawn, it's almost dawn."

"Is there any news from the prince?"

"Not yet, miss, you can sleep for a while, if there is news from the prince, the slave will wake you up."

Shen Ninghua shook his head: "No need, I can't sleep either, you go out first." ”

"Yes, miss."

Shen Ninghua got up and walked to the window, opened a window, and felt the cold wind blowing on her face, she was wearing a thin middle coat and trembled slightly, looking at the night outside, she couldn't help but close her eyes and recall what happened at the New Year's banquet, only to feel a chill in her heart: "One ring after another, in order to calculate me and Jun Yi, Baili Jinchuan really spent a lot of thought......

The cold wind completely sobered her mind, and after a while, she closed the window, got up and walked to the dresser, and began to dress up little by little, while drawing delicate eyebrows and eyes, while thinking carefully about the things of this time:

Thinking about it carefully, since they came back from Zhoucheng, the turmoil in Kyoto has never subsided, no, it should be said that the dark tide in the imperial city has been turbulent, and it looks calm on the surface, but once it falls, it is very likely to be swallowed up, and there is no possibility of coming up again.

Now, she and Jun Yi have entered it, either going against the current to reach the end and get that position. Or be swept away by the wind and waves, along with her two children, and be drowned by the torrent, and there is no room for survival. There's no other option in between......

In that case, get ready for it!

She dressed very carefully, and it was not until the sky was slightly brightened that she got up from the dresser, changed into a splendid Luo skirt embroidered with peonies, and gently arranged the skirt neatly.

"Miss, the slave has come in?"

"Well, come in."

Hongling walked in cautiously, and when she saw Shen Ninghua facing her, she was stunned in place, her face turned red with a bang, and she stammered back to find her voice for a while: "Xiao ...... Miss, you ...... You're so beautiful today......"

Shen Ninghua hooked the corners of her lips slightly, and a cold smile flashed in her water-cutting autumn eyes: "Okay, prepare the carriage, I'm going to enter the palace, you and Qingque guard the two little masters, don't make any mistakes." ”

"Ah...... Yes, yes, miss, the slave knows. ”

Hongling covered her face and ran out, and was blown by the cold wind before she came back to her senses from the beauty, it was clear that they were all women, but when she saw such a beautiful master like a demon, she couldn't help but beat her heart hard, thinking of the young ladies who dared to jump in front of the master, Hongling gave birth to a momentum from the bottom of her heart to look at the world, there is a young lady, who dares to say that she is beautiful?

Today, the civil and military officials all got up very early, and when they entered the palace gate, the holy decree of Baili Qingcang on the New Year's blessing ceremony had been promulgated.

Despite the continuous fighting at the top, but this year, the lives of the people of Kyoto are much happier than in previous years, Huajun Pharmacy has opened in Kyoto, and there is no need to pay expensive medical expenses to see a doctor, whether it is plague or smallpox chickenpox, there are practical prescriptions that have been studied, so this year's New Year they have a particularly comfortable life, hearing the emperor's holy decree on New Year's blessings, they have agreed, the emperor is wise and martial, and the New Year's prayer blesses Da'an Country is smooth and smooth, what's wrong with this? Yes, 10,000 support!

The shadow guard conveyed the reaction of the people to the palace, and Baili Qingcang laughed: "Okay, great, the Ministry of Rites is ready?" ”

The shadow guard had already found a lonely high platform set up in front of the Chengqian Palace, and he wasn't sure if it was built: "King Yijun ordered someone to set up a high platform in front of the palace, and I think it's almost there." ”

"High platform? Are you ready to pray for blessings? ”

"There's not much of it."

The corner of Baili Qingcang's eyes jumped, he had already issued the holy decree, if today's blessing ceremony did not go well, wouldn't it sweep away the majesty of the royal family?

"I'm going to take a look." After changing his clothes, Baili Qingcang hurriedly came to the Chengqian Palace, and looked at the square in front of the hall, as Ying Wei said, there was only a lonely high platform, and an incense burner was placed on the high platform, no matter how beautifully the high platform was, it couldn't hide that it was just a platform! How can such a simple costume be used as a blessing ceremony?

Baili Qingcang's eyes sharpened, and a wave of anger went straight to his heart, and he said in a stiff tone: "Baili Junyi, you come with me!" As he spoke, he walked inward.

The ministers looked at Baili Junyi and followed, and there was some schadenfreude in their hearts, how could such a simple dress be called a blessing ceremony, didn't he make the emperor embarrassed? Hmph, the emperor himself is not happy, can he still be better?

The officials of the Ministry of Rites were crying with sad faces, and they almost couldn't help crying, God is going to kill us!

Baili Jinchuan hooked the corners of his lips slightly, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.

Suddenly, there was an announcement outside.

"Princess Zhaohua has arrived."

Shen Ninghua walked in from outside the hall, and everyone only felt a noble breath rushing to their faces, and then their pupils constricted, their hearts beat wildly, and they could barely turn their eyes, and they were stunned for a moment before they woke up, and quickly got up and saluted: "I've seen Princess Zhaohua." ”

"Your Excellency, excuse me." Shen Ninghua's body was cold and noble, covering his originally beautiful and peerless appearance with a layer of frost, which made people marvel in their hearts and dare not have any blasphemous thoughts.

Baili Jinchuan stared at Shen Ninghua deadly, the flames under her eyes burned more and more fiercely, she walked in slowly from outside the hall, as beautiful as a peach and a plum as cold as frost, he wanted such a woman, he wanted to get her like crazy!

After about a quarter of an hour, Baili Qingcang and Baili Junyi walked out of the apse. The officials found that although the emperor's face was still not good, he was not as angry as he was just now, and they wondered, what did King Yijun say, so that the emperor did not care about his own face and only used a high platform to pray for blessings?

Baili Junyi walked to the first column of the prince, smiled at Shen Ninghua in the air, and the amazement in his eyes was undisguised.

Seeing his eyes, Shen Ninghua's hanging heart slowly lowered, nodded at him, and then lowered his eyes.

The chamberlain whispered: "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has arrived." ”

"Well, let's get started." Baili Qingcang looked at Baili Junyi.

Baili Jun came out of the ranks, and used his internal force to spread his voice far away: "The auspicious time has arrived, and the blessing ceremony begins!" ”
