Chapter 16

In Youshi, the sun is setting and the wind is blowing, making it slightly cool.

In Jianzhang Palace Xuanshi Hall, the door of the hall is closed tightly, covered with a dazzling golden halo.Standing at the gate of the hall were four court ladies in green clothes, with their heads slightly drooping, their eyes not squinting, their shadows stretched long by the setting sun.

At this time, a person appeared on the open ground not far away, with a good appearance, and his clothes were like the wind, walking towards the Xuanshi Hall without hurry.

As we got closer, we realized that the person who came was a woman.

She was wearing a dark-coloured collared short jacket with crescent moon patterns embroidered with silver thread on the hem and cuffs.Underneath is a red moonlight skirt with dense pleats and a color like moonlight.A black palace sash is hung on the wide jade-colored belt, and a half-moon-shaped jade pendant is hung to press the skirt.

Among the four kingdoms of Liang Yu Zhaochen in the Yunqing Continent, only Yu Kingdom emphasizes farming and worships witch rituals.And the black clothes and red clothes are exactly the dress of Yu country witches.Moreover, the crescent moon embroidered on the short jacket showed that this person was not an ordinary priestess, but a sorcerer with a very high status.

Witches are in charge of ceremonies and ceremonies in the Yu Kingdom. They can dance to the gods, communicate with the gods, and worship the mountains and rivers of the country. They are usually responsible for exorcising evil spirits, cleaning, praying for rain, and praying for good weather. They belong to the Taichang Temple Taidi Department.Among them, the witches with extremely high divination ability are called witches. Only a very small number of witches have this talent, and they are the first among all witches.

The woman walked to the front of the Xuanshi Hall.

The four maids standing here hurriedly bowed and saluted, with a respectful expression, "I have seen the Taibu Ling."

The golden sunset slanted on the woman's face, with beautiful eyebrows and phoenix eyes, her complexion was cold, not stunning, but she had a bit of immortality.

It was Chongjin.

——The only sorcerer in the Yu Kingdom today, who holds the post of Taibuling of Taichang Temple.

Chongjin nodded slightly, "I have to be summoned by the emperor."

The palace maid agreed, and stretched out her hand to push the door of the Xuanshi Hall open, "My lord, please come inside."

There are windows on all sides of the Xuanshi Hall. When the door of the hall is opened, a gust of wind blows through the hall, blowing the hem of the heavy brocade clothes.The warm sunset shines through the window edge, drawing heavy light and shadow.

Looking up, a middle-aged man was sitting in front of the first few tables, dressed in a bright yellow embroidered dragon go-to-sea uniform.

It was Song Chenglin, the emperor of Yu Kingdom.

The members of Yu Kingdom's royal family were born very well. Song Chenglin was also a rare handsome man when he was young. Although he is getting old now, he still has an extraordinary demeanor, and on the contrary, he has a little more mature charm.

Emperor Yu was leaning over his desk and looking at the memorial, with a respectful servant in red standing beside him.Seeing that Chong Jin entered the hall, the waiter hurriedly came down to greet him.

"Eunuch Zhong." Chong Jin slightly nodded at him.

"My servant has seen Lord Taibuling." Eunuch Zhong bowed to Chongjin, led her to take two steps forward, and whispered to his superior, "Your Majesty, Lord Taibuling is here."

Emperor Yu raised his head, and put the pen in his hand on the pen holder beside him, "Chongjin is here."

Chong Jin hurriedly bowed to Emperor Yu.

Emperor Yu nodded, and looked at Eunuch Zhong beside him, "Zhong Huai, you should step back first, and let someone keep watch outside. I have important matters to discuss with Tai Buling."

"No." Zhong Huai agreed, and bowed out of the hall.

"How are the preparations for tomorrow's sacrificial ceremony?" Emperor Yu stood up, walked around a few cases and walked down slowly.

Chongjin nodded, "Your Majesty, please rest assured that everything is ready."

"Okay." Emperor Yu glanced at her face, "I'm always at ease when you do things." He said, sighed slightly, and looked out of the window beyond Chongjin.

Chong Jin's eyes flashed.

"The emperor seems to have something on his mind?"

Emperor Yu turned his gaze back, stared at her for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "This time, Liang Guo sent Prime Minister Shen to come personally for my birthday banquet. You must have known the purpose."

"Weichen has heard about it a little bit." There was a strange look in Chongjin's eyes, and he lowered his head slightly, with an increasingly respectful expression on his face.

Emperor Yu let out a long sigh.

"I...it is precisely because of this that I am troubled."

Chongjin pursed his lips, and was about to answer, but Yudi continued, "I really have a headache for this candidate for marriage." As he spoke, he walked to the window and stood still.

Chongjin followed him a few steps, his voice was clear and ethereal, "Since Liangguo took the initiative to ask for marriage, he must have a plan. Your Majesty, why don't you... test Liangguo's intentions first?"

Emperor Yu sneered, "Lianguo? Yin Zhan naturally wants to marry Pingyang. Pingyang has the most respected status. Marrying her will make Liangguo's move more valuable."

"But the emperor doesn't want to marry Pingyang Emperor Ji far away?" Chong Jin's eyebrows were slightly lowered, her expression was indifferent, it seemed that what they were talking about now was a very common thing.

Emperor Yu looked away from the window, turned to look at Chongjin, and curled his lips coldly, "Pingyang is old, so he should get married. After being able to become a country, what's wrong?" He paused, His eyes were slightly cold, "It's just that the queen and the Wei family don't want to."

Chongjin glanced at him calmly, a trace of bloodthirsty flashed fiercely in his eyes.

The water in Tianjia is really muddy.

Chongjin sneered in his heart, thinking of something, his expression was a little dazed.

"I don't know if Aiqing has any good strategies?" Emperor Yu lowered his eyes to hide the sternness in his eyes.

"So, Emperor Ji Pingyang is not a suitable candidate?"

Emperor Yu snorted coldly, agreeing, and stared at Chongjin meaningfully.

"I don't dare to talk about government affairs." Chong Jin lowered his head slightly, clasped his hands, and looked respectful and calm.

Emperor Yu sized her up for a moment, then suddenly smiled, and the gloomy look in his eyes dissipated.

"I forgot, you don't like talking nonsense."

"My minister is a shaman. As a shaman, the most taboo is to act with personal feelings." Chong Jin was calm and calm, and his voice was cold.

Emperor Yu sighed, "If everyone was like you, I would have less worries." After finishing speaking, he walked slowly back to the long table and sat down, looking at the mountain of memorials on the table, his mood became more disturbed .

"If your majesty is upset by this matter, why don't you listen to God's instructions?" After a moment of silence, Chong Jin said calmly.

Emperor Yu raised his eyebrows, "What does Ai Qing mean?"

"If the emperor is willing, I can make a divination during the sacrifice tomorrow."

Emperor Yu's eyes lit up, and he leaned forward, "That's great! I just want to trouble Ai Qing."

Divination is an extremely energy-intensive thing, so except for some important national events, Chongjin will not open divination easily.

Although Emperor Yu is the Son of Heaven, the witches, especially the shamans, have a very high status in the Kingdom of Yu, so he is quite polite in his speech.Moreover, the witch does not care about politics, and only performs the duty of offering sacrifices and divination when necessary, so naturally she cannot threaten Emperor Yu's dominance.

Chongjin nodded slightly, "It is the duty of the minister to share the emperor's worries. When the results of the divination come out tomorrow, the emperor will know what God's will is."

"Okay!" Emperor Yu often breathed a sigh of relief, and the worry on his eyebrows faded a little.

"Does the emperor have any other orders?"

"No, I announced you to come here to ask about tomorrow's sacrifice. Now that everything is in place, you can go down and make preparations."

"No, my minister will leave." Chongjin saluted respectfully, bid farewell and left.

After leaving the main hall, she looked up at the scarlet sunset in the distance, and there were waves flowing between her brows and eyes.

Your Highness, the servants have already done what you entrusted.Next, it's up to you.

The breeze blew past, raised her wide robe sleeves, and made a loud noise.She stepped up and walked into the red glow of the sky.
