Chapter 217 Sacrifice Ceremony
Seeing Bai Yuting's dissatisfaction with Bai Qianxi, Bai Qianyi slowly raised the corners of her lips.

But his face looked even sadder, "No matter what, Fifth Sister is our family...If Fifth Sister hears you say this, Big Brother, she will be sad."

"You treat her as a family member, but she doesn't treat us as a family member." Bai Yuting's tone was still full of dissatisfaction, but when he saw Bai Qianyi, he didn't continue saying this.

Bai Qianyi was waiting to hear Bai Yushu continue speaking, but she didn't expect him to stop at this moment.

Somewhat disappointed.

But he quickly came to his senses and took out a package from the side.

"Yier came here mainly to ask big brother to pass this to fifth sister..."

"This is?"

Bai Yuting was a little confused. He touched the bundle and it felt like some kind of cloth.

"These are actually the clothes I prepared specifically for my fifth sister to wear on the day of the sacrifice. Big brother, you also know that there are many taboos about what to wear on the day of the sacrifice, and my fifth sister never likes to hear these things."

"I'm worried...there are some rules...she doesn't understand." Bai Qianyi bit her lip.

"You have a heart."

Bai Yuting looked at the person in front of him, his eyes full of warmth. From childhood to adulthood, this sister has always been very caring.

Now, even though Bai Qianxi was so ungrateful, Yier did not choose to give up.

"Why don't you deliver the clothes yourself? Since you are sisters, it should be more convenient for you." How could it be ridiculous for a grown man like him to deliver clothes?

"Well... Big Brother, you know that Fifth Sister has always seemed to have some opinions about me for some reason... If I go to send her off, I'm afraid Fifth Sister won't want to accept it. What's more, Big Brother, you just returned home and you're not very familiar with Fifth Sister. This is a good opportunity for you to get to know her better."

"And Fifth Sister is a nice person... She's not as bad as you think... Although she can be a little willful sometimes..."

"You don't have to speak for her. I know her personality very well. I will deliver the clothes, but I'm afraid it's impossible for me to get closer to her."

Bai Yuting's cold voice sounded, Bai Qianyi achieved her goal and slowly raised the corners of her lips.

There was no other way. Her second and third brothers refused to see her, so she could only come to her eldest brother.

The two chatted for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, Bai Qian left with an excuse, and Bai Yuting did not force her to stay.

After leaving the yard, Bai Qianyi could no longer suppress the smile on her lips.

Bitch! I want to see how you die this time!
This dress had been tampered with by her a long time ago. Although it was not visible on ordinary days, under the long-term heat and firelight, it would appear a light golden color, bright and dazzling. And at such an important festival as the sacrifice, the dress of that bitch would appear this color...

Just thinking of this, Bai Qianyi's mood inexplicably improved, and even her steps became lighter.

After several days of intensive preparations, the sacrifice finally began.

Early in the morning, officials and their families from every household got up early, even in the imperial palace.

As this day arrived, all the brightly colored decorations were removed from the homes of the common people in the imperial city.

"Miss, please get in the sedan chair. The master has something to do today and cannot come to pick you up in person. Please forgive me." Early in the morning, after Bai Qianxi finished washing up, Thirteen was already waiting outside the door.

After nodding, Bai Qianxi got into the sedan chair and soon arrived at the agreed place, where she met Ye Beiling again.

It’s just that the other person is in front of the crowd.

"Please come this way, Princess. This is the place for the female members of the family." As Bai Qianxi got out of the sedan chair, Nanny Deng hurriedly reminded her, seeming to be very familiar with the process.

Looking in the direction that Nanny Deng pointed, Bai Qianxi saw Cheng Shaoyi, Madam Zhao and others in the crowd. Even Princess Yueshu was there, but she was standing at the front.

There were many people standing in the huge venue, but few people were talking. The whole scene seemed very solemn and dignified.

Under the guidance of Nanny Deng, Bai Qianxi quickly found her place. "Miss Bai, the rest is up to you. Remember what I taught you. I will leave first." Nanny Deng soon disappeared.

As time passed, almost everyone had arrived.

Standing in the square, I didn’t know how much time had passed until a deep bell rang and the first ray of sunlight fell on the earth.

Everyone present was shocked.

Then countless trumpets sounded, heralding the official start of today's sacrificial ceremony.

The ceremony is tedious and complicated.

As the music sounded, countless silk books flew into the air, with various colors flying through them, representing different meanings.

The first step is to welcome the gods.

Following the large group in front, she bowed every three steps and kowtowed every nine steps. By the time this step was finished, Bai Qianxi had already kneeled down countless times.

Fortunately, she was not the only one kneeling around her.

The second step is to offer wine.

Listening to the priest shouting at the top, Bai Qianxi was finally able to relax a little. Although she couldn't understand what the other party was saying, at least she didn't have to kneel down anymore.

A long time passed and it was already noon.

My stomach started growling uncontrollably.

Fortunately, she had eaten something in the morning. Glancing around, Bai Qianxi saw that many ministers had begun to tremble in their legs.

It seems that until now, there are still many people who can't hold on.

The priest on the stage has not finished reciting yet, and there is another series of procedures to follow.

After finishing all of this, it finally comes to the last step, saying goodbye to the gods, drinking the blessings and distributing the sacrificial meat.

At this point, they could finally relax a little and sit down in pre-reserved seats.

Several plates of vegetarian snacks were placed on the table and were eaten up in a short while.

At this time, Emperor Dongli also walked to the front and began to give a speech. Like everyone else, he was also very hungry.

"You all have worked hard today, but you have done so in order to protect the glory of Dongli and the merits of our ancestors. I am grateful for the grace of heaven and have been given this mission..."

Until it ended like this, everyone just breathed a sigh of relief.

"The ceremony is over but the work is not yet finished. The cycle starts over again. For the rest of today, I will drink this cup with you all, and bring you blessings and virtues..."

Emperor Dongli raised the wine in his cup and drank it all in one gulp, and the ceremony officially ended.

The crowd was finally able to start moving around, but because today was a sacrificial ceremony, the banquet did not include any meat, but it was still delicious.

During the whole process, Bai Qianyi stared at the person sitting in front of her. Why? Why hasn't anything changed until now?
Today's process is about to end, what went wrong?

She was clearly wearing the clothes she had given her.

Bai Qianyi couldn't understand why this bitch Bai Qianxi had been sitting by the fire for so long and the color of her clothes didn't change at all.

The whole person still looks so dignified and calm...

"Not busy anymore?" Bai Qianxi looked at the person who suddenly sat next to her with a smile on her face.
