Chapter 56 Sacrifice to Heaven

The first day of March is Xiyue’s White Festival, which is similar to New Year’s Eve in the Central Plains. On this day, the whole country of Xiyue will eat hand-steaked meat, roast whole sheep, and light bonfires to show family reunion and bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.

Just as the sky turned pale, the sound of people in the courtyard starting to sweep was heard in the dimness.This seems to be a few minutes earlier than usual, right?I rubbed my sleepy eyes and sat up. Last night, in order to concoct the incense closer to Yekel's incense burner, I almost stayed up all night.Fortunately, with the help of Yue Ming, I finally successfully prepared it. I just need to find a chance to prove my guess to Yekel.

My head is still a little heavy, maybe I should meet people with dark circles under my eyes today?I got up and washed my face, and opened the door. The early morning spring breeze still brought a chill.I went to Xunfang Garden to collect morning dew with a pottery pot in my hand. This seemed to be a habit after I came to Xiyue Kingdom. I drank a cup of self-brewed tea every day.

The inner courtyard of the royal court was decorated with lights and festoons, and the festive atmosphere spread in every corner of the royal court. The faces of the palace people were filled with joyful smiles. Saiyan followed me and reminded in a low voice: "Today! It is the White Festival of Xiyue Kingdom, and the Great Khan will lead the subjects to hold a ceremony to sacrifice to heaven, and will also hold a Naadam meeting in the afternoon!"

I have heard a little about the White Festival, which is a bit similar to the modern Mongolian New Year's festival. The people of Xiyue respect white, and they regard white as a pure and auspicious color, so their annual festival is also called the White Festival, but the Naadam Conference What is it?I looked at her puzzled.

Saiyan smiled cleverly and said: "The Naadam Conference is an entertainment event held by our Xiyue Kingdom to pray for a good harvest in the New Year. There are thrilling and moving horse racing, wrestling, admirable archery, and competitive chess skills at the Naadam Conference. , there are fascinating songs and dances. In short, on this day, no matter rich or poor, high or low, we can attend any activities. There are many court ladies who will dress up on this day, and maybe you can find a lifelong companion at the Naadam Conference. "

I smiled and glanced at Saiyan, and saw a blush flashing across her face. I put the dew into the clay pot, and responded with a smile: "You can also dress up to attend today. I hope you can also find a lifetime companion." good man."

"Girl, don't make fun of Saiyan!" She said shyly.

"I didn't mean to make fun of you, everyone has the right to pursue happiness!" I held the clay pot and walked towards Xinuange, while Saiyan and the maids behind me seemed to be lost in thought because of what I just said, There was no sound along the way, but I knew they all wanted to participate, after all, it only happens once a year.

Just arrived at the gate of the Xinuang Pavilion, and saw Yekel sitting in the hall dressed up, with a warm smile on his face, energetic, majestic and domineering.Seeing me coming in, he waved to the attendants, and then a palace man presented an elegant and noble white dress in front of me.I stretched out my hand to caress it, and it was delicate and silky to the touch.

He chuckled, stood up and explained to me: "This is made of silk brocade. I gave it to you last time. I don't want you to even look at it. You have to cut it into a dress and give it to you. Today It's the Xiyue White Festival, Ben Khan hopes you can wear it to worship the heavens with me."

"Sacrificing to Heaven?"

"Well, sacrifice to heaven, and Ben Khan plans to formally make you queen on the fifteenth day of this month." His faint voice came to my ears, but it was as shocking as thunder.Didn't expect this day to come?No, I have to hurry up and unravel the mystery and get out of here.

Seeing me standing there in a daze with a dull expression, he held my hand and asked, "What's wrong with you? These days I often find that your mind wanders too far. What are you thinking? Can you share it with Ben Khan?"

"It's nothing, but I know that your courtiers are against me becoming the queen of Xiyue Kingdom, are you really not afraid..."

Before he finished speaking, his face darkened, as if he was not bothered by this problem, I saw him squeeze my hand tightly, and replied in a deep voice: "You just need to be my queen at ease, and the rest will be fine. I'll take care of things myself."

I nodded, then approached him and whispered in his ear: "I have something to tell you tonight!"

He stared at me with joy and excitement on his face, and then said softly with a charming smile: "Ben Khan's Hadeswolf Palace is waiting for you at any time!"

My intuition told me that he was wrong.I looked around for a week, and all the four maids bowed their heads and remained silent.I was annoyed for a moment, am I such a frivolous person?

Yekel snorted softly, signaling Saiyan to change my clothes and freshen up for me, after all, the auspicious time for offering sacrifices to heaven is coming.I let them make up on me like a puppet, and when I appeared in front of Yekel in that white dress, his eyes flashed with amazement.

Yekel was absent-minded for a moment, staring blankly at the woman in a white robe in front of her, she smiled lightly, and the brilliance in her eyes made even Haoyue pale. .The dazzling sunlight shone on her body, turning white on the silk brocade robe, covering her thin body with a faint and hazy silver glow.Yekel could no longer restrain the ecstasy in his heart, and hugged her tightly.

I felt at a loss for his sudden behavior, and I struggled to escape from his embrace and said angrily: "No, don't miss the auspicious time to sacrifice to heaven!"

Yekel patted his head as if waking up from a dream, and said with a smile: "Ben Khan almost missed a big deal because of his involuntary love for Avril, let's go, go with Ben Khan to sacrifice to heaven, I want to tell the people of Xiyue Kingdom , you are the wife of my Yekel, the queen of my Xiyue Kingdom!" His confident demeanor is full of the awe-inspiring arrogance of the king, but his city strategy is not one-tenth of Yekerui's. one.He doesn't have Yeke Rui's means and cruelty. Since ancient times, he has been king and loser. Since he deliberately won the throne, he shouldn't be soft-hearted and leave troubles, so that today he is deeply trapped in the vortex of other people's conspiracy without knowing it.

I smiled perfunctorily and followed him out of Xinuang Pavilion.I secretly thought in my heart that I must not let Yeke Rui have a chance to reset, otherwise what kind of bloody storm will be set off in the world.

The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was grand and solemn, and there were already a lot of people kneeling on the ground in front of the altar.There are a large number of Xiyue soldiers stationed on both sides of the altar, neatly lined up, ready to fight.The sound of bells and drums resounded in the air over and over again, and I followed Yekel's lead step by step on the fiery red carpet that meandered all the way to the altar.On both sides are courtiers and tribal chiefs standing kneeling and kneeling. I feel like there are tens of thousands of pairs of eyes staring at me with doubts, inquiries and resentment.

The palms were wet with cold sweat, and Yekel led me forward with a majestic face, but his big hands held me even tighter.

Finally arriving at the altar, Yekel began the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven after receiving the worship and congratulations from the courtiers.The lengthy sacrificial oration made me drowsy, and I inadvertently glanced at the crowd kneeling on the ground. There was a pair of vicious eyes staring at me fiercely in the crowd. I took a closer look, and it was Yunzhuer!

Deep love, deep hatred.This kind of nakedness, the hatred in my eyes should prove that she really cares about Yekel, and really loves him, right?

I gave her a kind smile, maybe we will have a chance to cooperate!

Her attitude towards me was stunned for a moment, but what Yekel said next deepened her hatred for me.

"Avril is the emissary who came to Ben Khan to assist Ben Khan and to create and witness the future foundation of Xiyue Kingdom with the people of Xiyue under the will of Changshengtian. She is also the love of Ben Khan in this life. Here, Ben Khan Solemnly announce that Avril Lavigne will be appointed as the queen of our Xiyue Kingdom, and she will be in charge of the royal court. March [-]th will be the day of Queen Khan's wedding. At that time, the whole country will rejoice and amnesty the world!" The thick and majestic voice is like a Like a landmine, it exploded in the crowd in an instant.

There are those who agree, those who oppose, and those who are angry. I smiled and looked at the faces of the people below, and divided them into three factions, neutral, opposed, and approved.

With a gloomy face, Yekel ignored everyone's criticism, took my hand and walked away after announcing the end of the ceremony.

He walked so fast that I had to trot to keep up with him.When I passed the white tent next to the altar, my gaze suddenly met with a pair of chilling and deep eyes.He was dressed as a Xiyue soldier, with a scimitar hanging from his waist, standing there with a straight body.

Yekel pulled me past him quickly. Although it was only for a moment, I was absolutely sure that I did not mistake the person. It was he who came back, and Nangong Han finally came back.

In the afternoon, the Naadam Conference was in full swing on the Kerr Grassland.Each area is divided into different competitions.At the venue, colorful flags fluttered, people neighed, and the usually peaceful grassland suddenly turned into a bustling colorful city.Herdsmen and dignitaries, on this day, regardless of their status and status, they can go out in costumes and have fun!

Yekel and I also walked around the venue, feeling the festive atmosphere brought by the festival.Horse racing is also an attractive activity.Xiyue people grew up on horseback and have a special affection for horses.Horse racing not only needs to train the horse very skillfully and handily, but also requires skillful, superb riding skills and tenacious and brave spirit.

I stopped and looked at the riders on the field. They wore gorgeous robes, high knight boots, colored scarves on their heads, and ribbons around their waists. They were full of vigor and heroism.Dozens of horses stand on the starting line, and with the sound of drums, they chase each other and gallop forward like arrows leaving the string.The arena suddenly boiled.My eyes followed the horses all the time. When the first horse rushed to the finish line, people immediately sang beautiful hymns.

The four maidservants laughed happily and called out.Because only this day can disregard the palace rules and completely break free from the shackles.I tiptoed and whispered something in Yekel's ear. He nodded with a smile, and said to the accompanying maid: "Today, Ben Khan allows you to join the carnival of the Naadam Conference. Go!"

Everyone was ecstatic when they heard the words, they all thanked us, turned around and ran to each arena.

Saiyan hesitated for a moment, and finally left under my persuasion.

Breathing a sigh of relief, I turned my head and said to the excited Yekel, "Khan, I want to go back, the exciting sound of bells and drums makes me a little dizzy!"

"How? Is it uncomfortable?" He asked a little nervously. Before I could answer, he carried me on the back of the horse and drove me back to the royal court.In fact, he is not a heinous person. Although he imprisoned me and forced me to stay in Xiyue to be his queen, he never did anything to hurt me.It's just that in my heart, you are still not my beloved.

Because of the Naadam Conference, all the servants in the Netherwolf Palace attended, so the huge palace seemed extremely empty and quiet.He wanted to order a witch doctor to treat me, but I refused.Because I'm totally fine.

I took his hand, shook my head and smiled: "I'm fine, remember what I told you this morning? I have something to tell you!"

He was a little tender and said with a smile: "I remember everything you said!"

I let go of his hand, withdrew my smile, walked to the Jinyi smoker, and asked lightly: "Actually, there is something wrong with your sense of smell, right?"

Because my words changed too quickly, he was stunned suddenly, his eyes were alert, he stared at me closely, and said after a while: "How do you know?"

"I still remember that I asked you if you like strong fragrances, and you told me that you like light ones, but the incense powder used on your concubines and the spices in the incense burner are all strong fragrances. So I think your sense of smell must be There is a problem."

"That's right, my sense of smell was indeed affected by the injury. Avril, what are you going to tell me?" He asked impatiently as if someone had been spying on the secret.

I chuckled, met his eyes, and said word by word: "Someone poisoned your smoker, but you don't seem to know it!"

His expression was clearly unbelievable. He waved his hand and said with a smile: "Avril, are you joking? Who dares to poison Ben Khan so boldly?"

"Princess Amis!" I said the answer succinctly.Then he took out a small bag from his arms and handed it to him.

He took the small bag in my hand with a dignified expression, opened it, dipped a little powder in his hand, put it on the tip of his nose, and smelled it deeply.Before he could open his mouth, I continued, "If these powders are used for a long time, people will completely lose their sense of smell, have hallucinations, and finally lose their minds and die. And I accidentally discovered that Princess Amis added these powders to you. incense burner."

Yekel laughed out loud after hearing my answer. He patted the powder on his hands and asked, "Amis has no reason to do this!"

"If so? Like Yekeri's instruction!"

He choked for a moment, lost in thought.After a while, he looked at me and murmured, "Ben Khan wants to ask Amis himself!"
