084 Full Moon Celebration
On the Star Continent, it is important for children to have several points in time. The Full Moon Celebration is one of them.
Each empire on the Star Continent has a legal state religion, for example, the Silver Moon Empire where Xue Xi is located believes in the Moon God Marius, and the State Religion of the Silver Moon Empire is the Moon Temple.
The reason why the Full Moon Festival is important is actually because of these sects, or because of the beliefs on the Star Continent. The Star Continent is similar to the Western world in Xue Xi's previous life, and it is a place where gods are believed.
Although Xue Xi was just lying quietly, she heard everything that Elina and the maids said.
For her full moon celebration, Xue Xi is still quite curious. After all, the past and present lives are just such an opportunity.
After Allina finished freshening up, she gently walked to the edge of Xuexi's small bed. When Alina looked down at Xue Xi, Xue Xi was also looking at Alina, her small black eyes revealing curiosity.
Alina couldn't help but smile happily when she saw that Xiao Xuexi was so spiritual. Alina smiled beautifully, Xiao Xuexi couldn't help but laugh too, and this time Alina smiled even more happily.
It took a while for Alina to stop laughing, and gently picked up Xiao Xuexi from the bed, "Xuexi, today is your full moon celebration, let Aunt Lanya also take a look at my Xiao Xuexi later, and let her give Xiao Xuexi the most perfect baptism, okay?"
Alina teased Xiao Xuexi and said softly to Xuexi. After Alina said these words to Xiao Xuexi, she realized that Xiao Xuexi hadn't washed yet.
"Someone," Elina called softly, "Prepare warm water for Xuexi, I'm going to help my Xuexi dress up nicely." ”
As soon as Alina finished speaking, a maid immediately answered the call and went down to fetch water without mentioning it.
In a few moments, the maid came in with a plate of clean warm water. Gently putting the basin down, the maid said respectfully, "Imperial Concubine, the water has come." ”
Alina turned to look at the maid and saw that the water was ready, so she nodded to indicate that she knew. Alina walked to the edge of the basin with Xuexi in her arms, and took Xuexi off with three strokes and five divisions.
At first, Xiao Xuexi was a little resistant to such a move, but now she is too young after all, and it is useless to resist. Later, after more times, Xuexi got used to it.
Take 10,000 steps back and say that he is just a child who has just been born for a short time, even if he looks at it, let alone Alina's room full of women.
Alina held Xiao Xuexi's head with one hand and gently scrubbed Xiao Xuexi with the other. Alina cleaned very carefully little by little, her eyes were focused and serious, full of a feeling called maternal love.
Xiao Xuexi looked at Alina quietly, and she could easily feel Alina's sincere emotions from the heart when her soul was strong.
This made her little heart a little moved, even in this strange world, there is still a person who sincerely cares about herself and loves herself, isn't it?
Alina is very fast, perhaps because she is afraid that she will let Xiaoxue catch a cold after a long time. In about ten minutes, Alina helped Xuexi clean up. Alina carefully wiped the water on Xuexi's body again, and then dressed Xiao Xuexi herself.
Watching Alina put a piece of bright red clothes on herself, Xue Xi thought helplessly, no matter how you look at this color, it is a bit vulgar.
However, Alina couldn't feel Xiao Xuexi's current mental activity, and still put those red and vulgar clothes on Xuexi with a smile on her face.
After getting dressed, Alina lifted Xue Xi into the air like a jewel and looked left and right, "Not bad, it's pretty good." It's even better to apply some makeup. ”
Alina said and walked to the edge of her dresser, seeing that she was really planning to put on Xuexi's makeup. Fortunately, Alina picked it up this and that, and no matter how she looked at it, she was not satisfied.
In the end, Alina sighed helplessly and said, "It seems that my Xuexi still looks better without makeup." ”
Hearing this, Xue Xi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and put her heart back. She doesn't like to rub those things on her face.
Xue Xi is a royal princess, and her full moon celebration naturally can't be as plain as ordinary people.
Early this morning, the cooks in the palace were already busy. They have to prepare for today's lunch and dinner, otherwise there will definitely not be enough time by then.
Although Ivan is not treated by Alina, his feelings for Alina are rarely sincere. He also hopes to improve the relationship between the two through Xuexi, so he also attaches great importance to the issue of Xuexi's full moon celebration.
When he got up in the morning, he also specially instructed the kitchen to be carefully prepared, and there should be no sloppiness. With the emperor's orders, those cooks naturally prepared more carefully, for fear that something unexpected would cause them to lose their heads.
Not to mention that the kitchen is busy preparing for the hot time, and the maids in the royal banquet hall here are also busy going in and out. Setting up the venue is also a troublesome thing, and it can't be done in a moment.
The Royal Banquet Hall is the most upscale banquet venue in the Silver Moon Empire, not only because of the royal support, but also because of the luxurious decoration and those exquisite and rare food and drinks.
In the morning, the banquet hall became more lively, and the courtiers came one after another. Everyone doesn't care what conflicts they usually have, but now they all show an amiable appearance. Hello, I'm hello everyone, I can't wait for everyone to hug together.
These people gathered together in twos and threes, chatting and chatting, talking about family affairs, discussing national affairs is discussing national affairs, and it looks like a harmonious situation anyway.
The ministers waited from the morning until near noon before they saw Ivan, who had arrived belatedly. Of course, these ministers don't dare to complain, and even if they do, they can't show it.
Seeing that their emperor appeared, the ministers immediately stopped all their words, quickly stood up according to the size of the rank, and quietly watched Ivan walk to the top throne and sit down.
At this time, the ministers knelt down neatly and shouted in their mouths, "Emperor Yong'an!"
Ivan waited for a while before Shi Shiran said, "Get up, you are all good talents of my Silver Moon Empire, and this emperor can govern the country so well and rely on the help of all ministers." ”
The ministers immediately said in a sincere panic that they did not dare to take credit, and expressed their willingness to contribute more to the country.
Ivan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, the ministers have really lived up to the expectations of the emperor. Now it's not early, Bendi sees that the ministers haven't eaten yet, so Bendi won't say anything else for the time being, let's start eating now. Come on, serve the food!"
Hearing Ivan's summons, dishes with all colors and flavors were served one after another by the maids, and the ministers who watched it moved their fingers. After the dish was served, a group of maids brought some good wine, and before it was opened, you could smell the fragrant wine.
Ivan looked at the greedy appearance of the ministers, and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, let's all sit down." We're dining now. ”
As soon as Ivan's words fell, the ministers had already sat down anxiously, and after Ivan moved his chopsticks, everyone began to taste the delicious food in front of them. For a moment, the entire banquet hall could only hear the sound of people chewing food.
After lunch, the highlight of the day will begin.
After the maids finished cleaning up the scraps, Lan Ya came out of the crowd and asked, "Emperor, can the baptism begin?"
Ivan nodded, "What His Majesty Lan Ya said is exactly. Someone, please Alina and Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess. ”
The guards at the door immediately shouted loudly, "Spread the word that Imperial Concubine Alina and Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess have entered the palace!"
Layer by layer, the sound was quickly transmitted. Alina, who had been waiting for her, took Xiao Xuexi and walked towards the banquet hall. In front of Ivan, Alina blessed her body slightly, and then sat down next to Ivan without saying a word.
Ivan looked at Alina and the ministers with some embarrassment, and all the ministers looked away to indicate that they hadn't seen it.
"Hey, that, let's start the baptism now, trouble Lan Yamian is down. Ivan coughed twice to hide his embarrassment.
Lan Ya nodded, and with a wave of her hand, a staff appeared in her hand. She took Xiao Xuexi from Alina's hand and put it on the table that had been prepared in the morning.
Throughout. Xue Xi looked at all this curiously. She didn't know much about the Star Continent, after all, she had spent most of her time cultivating in the past month. Even what she knew was intermittent and not comprehensive.
However, Xue Xi still knows some of the cultivation system of this Star Continent, for example, this Lan Ya is a magician.
After Lan Ya placed Xue Xi, she raised her staff, and then began to chant some obscure incantations. It didn't take long for a moon-white mass of energy to suddenly appear in the sky, and that mass of energy was quietly suspended.
Lanya's face was a little pale, but she still insisted on chanting the incantation.
After a few more moments, Lan Ya waved his staff and suddenly shouted, "Praise the moon god!"
That mass of energy instantly wrapped Xue Xi, Xue Xi felt this energy, and found that it contained the power of the moon yin, but it was a little mixed and impure, but there was no harm.
Xue Xi pursed her lips and swallowed up the energy in an instant. Speaking of which, Xue Xi still disdains this mixed energy, but if she doesn't want it, it seems a little bad.
Lanya was surprised, she had never seen anyone absorb the Luna Praise so quickly. Lan Ya not only has a little more expectation for Xiao Xuexi's future in her heart.
Maybe Princess Xuexi can become the next Moon God Attendant. Lan Ya couldn't help but look forward to it in her heart.
Lan Ya thought to herself, but her face was silent. After Xiao Xuexi had completely absorbed that energy, Lan Ya turned around to look at Ivan and Alina, bowed slightly and said, "Emperor, Imperial Princess, the baptism has been successfully completed." I'm feeling a little tired and want to go back and rest for a while, so I won't disturb your banquet, goodbye. ”
Although Lanya is in the palace, she is a special messenger of the Moon Temple and is stationed in the palace, but she is not under the jurisdiction of Ivan. Moreover, the identity of the temple envoy makes it easy for Lanya to transcend things.
Ivan was also accustomed to Lanya's casual behavior of coming and going, and only nodded lightly when he heard the words. Lanya didn't think to ask for Ivan's opinion at all, just told him.
When she turned around, she glanced at Xiao Xuexi again, and Lan Ya then left the banquet hall directly. Although she was the messenger of the Moon God Temple, she also needed to cultivate, so she didn't have much time to waste.
Although it felt fast to say, Xuexi's baptism took nearly two hours. It is worth mentioning that there are fifteen months in a year in the Star Continent, but there are only twenty hours a day. Therefore, it is not too early for a baptism to come down.
Seeing that the baptism was complete, Alina stepped forward to pick up Xuexi, and still returned to sit behind Ivan. Ivan stood up and clapped his hands to draw the attention of the ministers.
"Everyone, from now on, this is yours, and you can have as much fun as you want. Bendi is not here to disturb your interest. After Ivan finished speaking, he looked back at Alina, "Alina, you can have fun here with Xuexi." I still have some things to take care of, so I won't accompany you. I'll go to you tonight. ”
After Ivan finished speaking, he led a group of guards and left the banquet hall under the respectful eyes of the ministers.
Alina lowered her head and kissed Xue Xi's little face like a dragonfly, "Do you want Xue Xi to stay? It's going to be noisy here, or let's go back." My mother will tell you a story, okay?"
Alina looked at Xiao Xuexi with a smile, and when she raised her head, her face returned to the cold color that rejected people thousands of miles away. Alina insisted on leaving the banquet hall despite everyone's retention.
Walking along the peaceful path in the palace, Alina carried Xiao Xuexi all the way back to her bedroom.
Xiao Xuexi's baptism is over, and of course, the gifts from the ministers sent by the guards still need to be dealt with by Alina. All of these things, Ivan's great atmosphere, were sent to Alina's bedchamber.
After the turmoil subsided, Xiao Xuexi's life returned to calm again.
