Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Temple and the Court

The area of the temple and the palace was not one, but after Xenia took the throne for half a year, he forcibly asked the servants to open the walls of the buildings on both sides, and even opened a street out.

And then, whenever she was bored at the court, she would go to the temple to find the Holy Maiden to relieve her boredom.

Although this is very unruly, but what the rules are not in order, the officials can't point out a thing or two, anyway, from time to time they tell Xenia that the queen can't socialize too much with the temple saints.

On the one hand, it is to maintain the supremacy of Queen Heaney, and on the other hand, it is also to preserve the spiritual image of the Holy Maiden among the people of Heaney.

If there was any conflict between the rulers of the Heaney Kingdom and the representatives of the Temple's faith, it would have a major impact on the hearts of the people of the Kingdom.

The people are subject to the power of the Kingdom, but their hearts are controlled by the Temple.

Therefore, it was also expressly stipulated that the temple could not interfere in the affairs of the Heaney court.

However, it was not explicitly stipulated that the court could not interfere in the affairs of the temple, after all, it was strictly forbidden to do things in certain aspects of the court, which was the right to flout the royal family, even if it was a temple.

Therefore, this caused the scene where Xenia would occasionally go to the temple to look for the Holy Maiden, and the Holy Maiden did not dare to come to the court to look for Henia.

Today is the eighth day since Xenia and Sleta spoke privately.

In a small side room inside the temple, the saint's hair had already been coiled by the slave's own hand, although she was not wearing a white top hat, but the sacrificial clothes on her body looked extremely beautiful, she sat on a sofa bench, looked down at the Xenia who was pillowed on her thighs, and showed a gentle smile on her face.

The inheritors of each generation of the temple are hand-selected by the incumbent, and although there are not many rules, there are some such as kindness, a contagious smile, and more importantly, kindness and faith.

At that time, the previous saint was already in her fifties, and then she saw that the saint smiled like an angel around God when she was a child, even if she was a violent person, when she saw her, her smile was like a spring breeze and her heart was calm, and then the old saint received the saint in the temple when she was young, and then announced that she became the next saint of the temple.

Later, when the saint grew up, the old saint died, and the temple inheritance scepter came into her hands.

What the saint didn't expect was that not long after, the black sword staff, which represented the symbol of power in the Heaney court, was also handed over to her.

When the previous king died, the sword and staff of the royal family would be handed over to the holy woman for safekeeping until the heir to the throne ascended the throne, and then the holy woman would put on the crown and hand the sword staff to the heir at the moment of the heir's accession.

The saint is the messenger of God and the faith of the people, and the sword and staff and crown she handed over represent God's recognition of the heir to the throne.

And Xenia's crown and sword staff were handed over by the saint herself.

At this time, Xenia did not wear a crown, but lay on the lap of the saint, closed her eyes and rested.

If chatting with Hiniyi is the time when Xenia feels the safest, then being with the Holy Maiden is the most comfortable time for her.

The saint always had a pleasant smile on her face, and she reached out and drew circles on the door of Xenia's head, which woke Xenia to itch.

"Sister Saintess, what are you doing? Xenia grabbed the saint's green fingers and asked with a smile.

In private, the saints would call Xenia by her first name, and Xenia would call the saints her sisters.

In the words of the Holy Maiden, her name no longer matters as soon as she becomes the heiress of the Holy Maiden.

"After little Sleta sent you home, you've been running to me a little too much lately. ”

"It's not like there's nothing to do, it's boring to stay in the palace, most of the officials have a plan in private, how can they find me every day. After I finish dealing with political affairs, I am in the room, so I might as well come to the temple to find the Holy Sister and stay together. ”

"The last time you said you told little Sleta to go ahead and make trouble, but it's been the eighth day since that day, and little Sleta doesn't seem to have moved. Although the complaints of the commoners in the capital are still very large, and even the ceremonial officials have begged my side, if little Sreta does not make a move, the grievances of the commoners will be settled by the nobles after all. ”

Xenia was not worried, she got up from the saint's lap and sat down, she hooked the saint's shoulder and said with a smile: "That's because Sreta doesn't know the situation between the court and the nobles, Xu Mu said that he will write to Sleta to give instructions to do things, after all, Sleta is the only one in the capital, I can accept it slowly." ”

The holy woman looked at the excited Xenia in front of her, and shook her head with a smile: "I hope your plan can be realized by then." ”

"If the commoners revolt and the nobles can't deal with it, then the Holy Sister will help me pacify them. At that time, I will take the hostess off, isn't this a hand-to-hand capture?"

"I'm afraid that little Sleta is too young, and the responsibility is too great. "The saint has a good heart, and thinks that letting a little girl do this kind of thing is embarrassing for her after all.

"Sister Saintess doesn't know Sleta, she's very capable. ”

"I hope so. ”

Xenia smelled the milky smell of the saint's body, she smiled mischievously, kissed the saint lightly on the cheek, and licked it when she left.

Hearing Xenia kiss her and laugh mischievously, the saint's ears turned a little red, but she shook her head with a doting look on her face, and her hand wrapped around Xenia's soft body.

The long black hair and the blonde hair are intertwined, and they do not look obtrusive, as if they are not separated from each other.

Xenia thought of something, and said with a smile: "If I can take full control of the palace after Xu Mu returns from the academy, I will take my sister back!

"Then what about you, or are you going to be a little princess who does nothing?" the saint laughed and teased.

"Of course not! As long as my sister becomes the king, I will take you around! My sister told me before that she has been to other parts of the kingdom, and some places have very good scenery, although the whole kingdom is mine, but I have never seen most of the kingdom with my own eyes, and I want to see the beauty of the kingdom with you when the time comes. ”

The saint shook her head: "How is this possible, I am a saint now, I can't go out of the temple at will, how can you take me out to play?"

"What's this! Wouldn't it be good if you also found a holy heiress as soon as possible, when the plan goes well, as soon as your seat is handed over in two years, I will also hand over the position, and we will leave to play immediately!"

"The heiress of the Holy Maiden..."Speaking of which, the Holy Maiden was actually a little moved, she didn't like to play, she had traveled more places than Xenia, but she mainly wanted to accompany Xenia.

Xenia blinked her brown-red eyes, "Isn't it the day of the temple pilgrimage in a while?"

"Yes. When the time comes, I will go out of the capital and tour most of the cities in the kingdom with the believers, and it may take a long time to come back. ”
