Chapter Eighty-Nine: A Predetermined Fate

After Liuli was taken away by her mother, she has been locked up in the Holy Maiden Hall to learn the etiquette rules that the Holy Maiden should have, Liuli did not dare to slack off, was diligent, and behaved unusually docile, so she begged her mother for a long time, and then she was allowed to go out of the Holy Maiden Hall to see a streamer.

It's just that she came in a hurry, and at first glance, she saw the picture of the streamer being bullied by the female officer.

She is rarely angry because of her gentle temperament, and even used her identity as a saint to punish female officials for the first time. Although she also knew that the rules of the royal capital were like this, however, she was still reluctant to be wronged by the young streamer like this.

Liuli stayed with Liuguang for a long time that day, and personally selected an elderly female official to take care of Liuguang, so she reluctantly returned to the Holy Maiden Temple.

In the next three years, Streamer and Sister Liuli still gather less and leave more, Liuli lives in the Holy Maiden Hall day and night, rarely has the opportunity to go out, and occasionally comes out to visit Streamer.

This is also what Streamer is looking forward to the most, every time Sister Ah comes to visit him, he can be happy for several days.

Although he knew that Sister Ah would not come every day, he would still go to the yard every day to wait for a while.

The female officer selected by Sister Ah for him has a gentle temper, a bit like Sister A's temperament, and it is appropriate to take care of the streamer, and she is not half impatient with him. Streamer often asks the female official's aunt and sister about the current situation in private, and the female official's aunt will ask other female officials who can often walk around the palace to help him inquire around, so that the streamer can find out a little bit of Sister A's news.

He hasn't seen his mother for so long, and perhaps the resentment for his mother has not diminished with the passage of time.

Soon it was time for Liuli to be crowned as a saint, and the streamer was pulled up early by the female official's aunt, dressed up, changed into solemn palace clothes, and went to the Nanfeng Hall with the people of the whole royal family to watch the ceremony, where there were still many people in the royal capital Dagong City.

For the first time, Streamer came to the Nanfeng Hall, the largest and most noble temple in the royal capital of the same name as him, and the huge stone door was engraved with the totem of the divine beast Suzaku. I heard that his title Nanfeng was also asked for by Sister A with her mother, maybe because Sister Ah had been selected as the next saint, and her mother agreed directly without saying anything, according to the customs of the royal capital, he was also called Nanfeng Streamer.

He stood at the side of the altar, squinting his eyes and carefully counting the steps that led to the altar on the red carpet, there were a full one hundred and eight steps, and it seemed to him that it was a road that he would never tread.

Later, Sister Ah will walk to the altar from there and officially become the new saint of the southern kingdom.

The solemn and sacred music sounded, and all the people who watched the ceremony were silenced in unison, and their expressions became solemn, and their hands were folded in front of their chests as a gesture of blessing.

Streamer watched Sister A slowly walk out of the palace from a distance, surrounded by the ceremonial officials, and saw her mother, who she hadn't seen for a long time.

She still had such a bright face, like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, she stood alone at the gate of the palace and watched, her expression was as cold and numb as a day for more than ten years, no sadness or joy, her eyes were cold and empty.

Her daughter will become the new saint of a nation, and she will be worshiped by all the peoples, and it will be a supreme honor

Yao, she doesn't feel happy, she is about to be forgotten by countless people, and all that awaits her is death, and she doesn't feel sad.

Ruri bowed deeply to her.

Then Liuli slowly walked in front of everyone.

She wears a cumbersome and gorgeous crown, a pair of azure eyes, like two incomparably rare sapphires, her cheeks are painted with the totem of the Vermilion Bird of the Southern Kingdom, a golden-red Zhuzi deep clothes and auspicious clothes, wearing a hanging ring around her waist, and her skirt is decorated with colorful bird feathers.

The ceremonial officials who followed her with flowers and incense lamps in their hands carried the glass to the bottom of the altar steps, and then bowed down respectfully.

The path to the altar can only be completed by the saint herself.

Liuli folded his hands as a prayer ceremony, stepped on the red carpet step by step, and slowly walked through the stone steps of the 1808th altar.

The elder officer in charge of the promotion ceremony respectfully saluted the glass, turned around to burn incense and wine, and sang loudly: "Kneel!"

The sound was like an ancient bell, ringing through the hall of the south wind.

Liuli's back was straight, and in the eyes of everyone, she knelt on the futon in front of the altar.

The ceremonial officer held a jade box from the altar table in both hands to the glass, babbling and singing blessings.

Streamer listened to the female official's aunt said, the box is filled with a golden short knife, like a crescent moon The whole body is made of gold, and the scabbard is inlaid with jewels and jade, which is the knife of blessing passed down from generation to generation by the ancestors of the southern country, passed down by the ancestors of the founding of the southern country, and it is an important ritual that must be used in the important sacrifices and blessings of the southern country, implying martial arts, strength like gold and stone, and it should be the supremacy of the world.

After the ceremonial officer recites the blessing, the knife will be handed over to the holy woman, and the saint's canonization ceremony will be completed.

Liuli raised her hands and read the promise aloud according to custom, her voice was gentle and compassionate, like a Sanskrit sound, promising to dedicate everything she had to the royal family and the country.

The box was reverently and solemnly entrusted to Liuli.

Streamer stood in the crowd, desperately tiptoeing to raise his head and look at the glass on the altar, I don't know if it was his illusion, he saw a tear flash from the corner of Sister A's eye.

Sister crying?

He wanted to reach his head a little more clearly, and his overly lively posture was particularly abrupt in the solemn crowd, and he was pressed down by the female official aunt beside him.

The female official's aunt whispered in his ear: "Your Highness Nanfeng can't go beyond the rules! Although Her Royal Highness Liuli is His Royal Highness's own sister, she has now been promoted to a holy daughter, and her status is noble! Her Royal Highness is still in good order, don't make trouble for her!"

Although he knew that it was a well-intentioned advice, the streamer wanted to ask rhetorically, so isn't she his sister?

There was an indescribable emotion suppressed in his heart, and the sealing ceremony was not over, but he couldn't stand it anymore, and sneaked back to the dormitory alone.

After the saint was promoted to the ceremony, Liuli became more and more busy, and they could still see each other occasionally, but recently they couldn't see the streamer at all

Glass. I heard the aunt of the female official say that it is because this year's Tuoba Festival has begun to be organized, how can she be absent as a saint of a country?

This kind of news makes Streamer very anxious, isn't it that Sister A is going to marry Wang Cheng, who was selected this year! What if that person is not good and Sister doesn't like it?

He was even more worried than Liuli, because the saint could not leave the palace at will, so when the Tuoba Festival began, the streamer ran back and forth from morning to night in the two selection venues, covering his head and face with a cloth towel, looking like an ordinary child, unscrupulously squeezing in the crowd and tiptoeing to look at the arena.

There are hundreds of people who participate in the competition, and he looks at one on the left and thinks it's not good, and the right one is not strong enough, which makes him sad, how good is this!

That's right, since the rules are like this, he is just a child, and he can't change anything at all, so he just hopes that Sister A will find a very powerful and strong king, so that they can always be together from the first year without separation.

In this way, Sister Ah will not ...... I became a person like my mother.

However, no matter how worried he was, in the end, there were contestants who stood out from the Tuoba Festival and killed a pair of brothers from the Dongxuan Palace.

Streamer sneaked around and went to see it several times, and felt that these two people looked much better than the two promoters in the West Evening Hall, and he especially hoped that this year's king could be born from this pair of brothers.

They fought with swords in the arena and swept thousands of armies, as if they were born to fight.

This time, his expectations came true.

After a round of baptism in the finals, only the two brothers were left for the final battle.

Although it has greatly met his expectations, the game must score a result, after all, he hopes that Wang Jun is the strongest person, this is a major event related to Sister A's happiness!

In Streamer's view, such a game is like a gamble, winning a gamble to reach the sky, life is the top, and losing the gamble is a complete defeat, or even losing your life.

The two brothers, who had fought side by side and were close together, now took up their swords and pointed them at each other, making a final gamble.

Two people stood on the martial arts platform in the middle of the mirror lake in the Nanfeng Hall with swords, one with black hair like ink, the other with brown hair like tea, with the same handsome and young face, the same vigor and full of strength, both eager to take a step closer to success.

Streamer tried his best to look at Liuli's expression, wanting to see if Sister Ah also cared about the final result of this game, but he was too far away, and he could only see the golden tassel of the gorgeous crown.

Liuli has been watching the ceremony on the altar since she presided over the blessing ceremony as a saint, and she can only maintain such a dignified posture to watch the game, she can't make a choice, and she can't resist the tradition of thousands of years, she is both noble and humble as dust.

As my mother said, this is her fate.

She is the possession of the Empire, the Empire's reward for the victors, the most merciless reward.

No one cared about her opinion.

She had no choice.
