Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 367 As gorgeous as a peach and plum, as cold as ice

Seeing the place where the smoke was coming out, Minister of the Ministry of Rites ignored his status, lifted up his robe and ran towards Chengqian Hall. Seeing the situation in front of the hall, his face turned pale, and he sat down on the ground, rolled his eyes and almost fainted die past.

"It's on fire...it's over..." Some officials in the Ministry of Rites have already cried out, "God is going to kill us!" Originally, the time to prepare things was too tight, and finding something was like a war, but now it's hard to get together It's almost ready, but it's still on fire!

Baili Junyi's face was as cold as a layer of frost: "Stop howling, or you won't have a chance to cry until dawn, so hurry up and clean it up!"

After he finished speaking, he strode to the front of Chengqian Hall, looking at the messy scene, his eyes became more and more cold and thorough.Speaking of which, the fire was not that big, it just burned the shelves they had set up, and some of the things prepared around them for offering sacrifices to heaven were also blackened by the fireworks, so they couldn't be used again tomorrow.

The guarding guard knelt on the ground, feeling the pressure from Baili Junyi, he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to lift his head: "This slave is guilty, please punish the king of Yijun."

Baili Junyi stood with his hands behind his back, and the night cast a cold glow on his body: "You guys didn't guard well, what did you do?"

"Reporting to the king of the county, I just saw a black shadow flashing by. The servant and others thought of the assassin they had captured before, and worried that there were accomplices lurking in the palace. The emperor will sacrifice to the heaven tomorrow. If there is a mistake, the servant and others will die. Redemption, so I went over to check, and only walked away for less than a cup of tea, and there was a fire here."

"Get up and clean everything up here!"

"Yes!" Seeing that Baili Junyi did not pursue their negligence of duty, the guards quickly got up and began to clean the scene neatly.

Zhang Yun, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, sat on the ground with a dull expression. Baili Junyi called him several times before he came back to his senses: "Master Zhang? Master Zhang!"

Zhang Yun slowly got up from the ground, squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, and felt his neck was getting cold, which was a fatal omen: "Your Majesty, our Ministry of Rites has come to an end this time."

Baili Junyi smiled coldly, his deep eyes were as fierce as autumn leaves falling: "It's not yet dawn, and the ceremony of praying and offering sacrifices to heaven has not yet begun. It's uncertain who will win this battle!" Does this matter suppress him... Heh, let's wait and see step by step!
In Prince De's Mansion, Baili Jinchuan finally showed a smile on his gloomy face after listening to his subordinate's report: "Okay, step back."

This move was specially designed by him for Baili Junyi, including the third prince's invitation of folk artists to perform in the palace. It was also his idea to let people pass it on. If those beasts don't go crazy at the banquet, he also secretly arranged people. Ruin that performance, so that people can lead to the New Year's banquet to see blood is unlucky, and it is necessary to pray for blessings in the New Year to keep safe.

Praying for blessings naturally requires the use of the Ministry of Rites, and Baili Junyi has just been transferred there, so he will naturally have a share of responsibility for the blessing ceremony, and those who have him among the officials of the Ministry of Rites first shirk and block him. People set fire to the things used to worship the heavens and pray for blessings. When the emperor gets up tomorrow and sees a messy scene, can he spare Baili Junyi?
Thinking about it, the smile on his lips gradually faded, and a trace of coldness flashed through his eyes. If Shen Ninghua was successfully calculated today, Baili Junyi's situation would be even more miserable. For Shen Ninghua, he would definitely make a big fuss in Chengqian Palace , the final result is still that he can't keep the love in his heart, even if the emperor father doesn't give him too heavy punishment for the sake of blood and family relationship, he will completely miss the throne!

Shen Ninghua... Baili Jinchuan gently caressed the scar on his wrist, only feeling that the scar is still hot and painful, always reminding him how he was ruined by a woman. Just thinking about it will haunt her for a day until it drives him crazy!

In the Prince Yi County's mansion, Shen Ninghua was worried that Baili Junyi in the palace had been sleeping unsteadily, but suddenly felt a shock in his heart, and then woke up suddenly, sitting on the bed panting slightly.

Hong Ling, who was on guard at night, saw her wake up, and hurried forward to ask: "Miss, what's wrong with you, but what's wrong?"

Shen Ninghua shook her head, the sky outside the window was still dark: "What time is it?"

"It's already time, it's almost dawn."

"Is there any news from your lord?"

"Not yet, miss, please sleep for a while, if there is news from the prince, the servant will wake you up."

Shen Ninghua shook her head: "No need, I can't sleep either, you go out first."

"Yes, ma'am."

Shen Ninghua got up and walked to the window, opened a window, felt the cold wind blowing on her face, she shivered slightly in a thin coat, looked at the night outside, couldn't help but close her eyes to tell what happened at the New Year banquet Thinking back on the matter, I just felt chills in my heart: "One ring after another, Baili Jinchuan really spent a lot of thought to plot against me and Jun Yi..."

The cold wind made her mind completely clear. After a while, she closed the window, got up and walked to the dressing table to start dressing up a little bit by herself. While painting the delicate eyebrows, she thought carefully about the things during this time:

Thinking about it carefully, since they came back from Zhoucheng, the turmoil in the capital has never calmed down. No, it should be said that the imperial city has been undercurrents and turbulent. It looks calm on the surface, but once it falls, it is very likely Being engulfed, there is no possibility of coming up again.

Now, she and Jun Yi have entered it, or go upstream to reach the end and get that position.Either be swept away by the wind and waves, and her two children will be submerged in the torrent, and there will be no chance of survival.It's either one or the other, without any other choice in between...

That being the case, then get ready to face it!
She dressed up very carefully, until the sky was slightly brighter, she got up from the dressing table, put on a brocade skirt embroidered with peonies, and gently tidied up the hem of the skirt.

"Miss, is the servant coming in?"

"Well, come in."

Hong Ling walked in cautiously, and when she saw Shen Ninghua facing her, she froze on the spot, her face flushed with a bang, and it took a while to find her voice stammeringly: "Little Miss, you...you Today is really beautiful..."

Shen Ninghua slightly hooked the corners of her lips, and a cold smile flashed in her swaying eyes: "Okay, prepare the carriage, I'm going to enter the palace, you and Qingque guard the two little masters, don't make any mistakes."

"Ah... yes, yes, miss, the servant knows."

Hong Ling covered her face and ran out, only to recover from the beauties when the cold wind blows, she is clearly a woman, but seeing such a beautiful master who looks like an evildoer, she couldn't help but her heart beat violently , Thinking of those young ladies who dare to jump in front of the master, Hong Ling has an aura of disdain for the world from the bottom of his heart, who dares to say that he is beautiful when there are young ladies around?

All civil and military officials got up very early today, and by the time they entered the palace gate, Baili Qingcang's imperial decree on the New Year's blessing ceremony had already been promulgated.

Although there are constant battles at the top, this year, the life of the people in Kyoto is much happier than in previous years. With the opening of Huajun Medicine Store in Kyoto, there is no need to pay expensive medical bills for medical treatment. Whether it is plague or smallpox chickenpox, there are Effective prescriptions have been researched, so this year's New Year they lived extraordinarily comfortably. They all agreed with the emperor's decree about New Year's blessings. ?Support, 1 support!

The shadow guard transmitted the reactions of the people to the palace, and Baili Qingcang laughed: "Okay, great, is the Ministry of Rites ready?"

The shadow guard has already discovered a lonely high platform built in front of the Chengqian Hall, and he is not sure if it has been set up properly: "The king of Yi County ordered someone to build a high platform in front of the hall, and it seems to be almost the same."

"Gaotai? Are you ready to pray for blessings?"

"Not much."

The corner of Baili Qingcang's eyes twitched, he had already issued the imperial decree, if today's blessing ceremony does not go well, wouldn't it mean that the royal family's majesty will be swept away?

"I'm going to take a look." After changing his clothes, Baili Qingcang hurried to Chengqian Hall, and saw that there was really only a lonely high platform on the square in front of the palace, as the shadow guard said, on which there was a There is an incense burner, no matter how beautifully the high platform is decorated, it cannot conceal that it is just a platform!How can such a simple dress be used as a blessing ceremony?
Baili Qingcang's eyes sharpened, a burst of anger shot straight into his heart, and he said in a stiff tone: "Baili Junyi, follow me!" As he said, he walked towards the inner room.

The ministers watched Baili Junyi follow, feeling a little gloating in their hearts. How could such a simple dress be called a blessing ceremony? Isn't he embarrassing the emperor?Hmph, the emperor himself is having a hard time, can he still be?

The officials of the Ministry of Rites were crying, and they could hardly help crying, the sky is going to kill us!
Baili Jinchuan slightly hooked the corners of his lips, and a flash of determination flashed in his eyes.

Suddenly, there was an announcement from outside.

"Princess Zhaohua is here."

When Shen Ninghua walked in from outside the hall, everyone felt a noble aura rushing towards them, then their pupils constricted, their heart beat wildly, and they could hardly move their eyes. After a moment of stupefaction, they woke up and hurriedly got up to salute: "I have seen Zhaohua Princess."

"Excuse me, my lords." Shen Ninghua was cold and noble, covering her originally unparalleled beauty with a layer of frost, which made people marvel and dare not have any blasphemous thoughts at the same time.

Baili Jinchuan stared at Shen Ninghua, the flames in his eyes burned more and more intensely, she walked in slowly from outside the hall, as gorgeous as peaches and plums as cold as ice, he wanted such a woman, wanted her like crazy!
After about a quarter of an hour, Baili Qingcang and Baili Junyi came out from the back hall.The officials found that although the emperor's face was still not good, he was not as angry as before, and they all wondered, what did King Yijun say to make the emperor not care about his own face, and only use a high platform to pray for blessings?
Baili Junyi walked into the row of princes, and smiled at Shen Ninghua from the air, the amazement in his eyes was undisguised.

Seeing his eyes, Shen Ninghua slowly let go of her hanging heart, nodded to him and then lowered her eyes.

The servant reported softly: "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come."

"Well, let's start." Baili Qingcang looked at Baili Junyi.

Baili Junyi came out and used his internal strength to spread his voice far: "The auspicious time has come, and the blessing ceremony begins!"
