In the early morning of the day of the sacrifice, Juanjuan was picked up and dressed by Caiying early.
Generally, the sacrificial ceremony takes a long time, and the whole process starts at least an hour. However, on such a serious occasion, Cai Ying did not dare to put food in Juan Juan’s snack bag, for fear of disrespecting the gods.
But Juanjuan had no worries at all. After putting on her clothes, she opened her snack pocket and stretched out her little hand towards Caiying, "Sister Caiying~ I want something to eat~"
"Miss, you can't eat on an occasion like the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony. It would be very serious if you were discovered."
Juan Juan didn't care, pouted and pulled Cai Ying's sleeves coquettishly, "I want it, I want it~"
"This..." Caiying finally couldn't bear her insistence and brought over a plate of snacks and some dried fruits, "But the lady must not be discovered by others when eating."
"Yeah, yeah!"
Juan Juan happily put dried fruits into his pockets, piling them full.
"Sister Caiying, take me to see Xiaobai~"
It was still a long time before the sacrifice started. After Caiying packed up Juanjuan, she carried her there.
Xiaobai is now the size of an adult tiger, strong and fierce, with well-developed limbs. Now the two-meter-high house can no longer trap it. When it gets tired of staying in the yard, it will jump out. Sometimes it will jump out a few times. hours, sometimes not coming back for days.
But Juanjuan was lucky, Xiaobai Gangcheng came back from outside when he went.
It was still covered with leaves and morning dew from the forest, and it held a dead deer in its mouth and placed it in front of a little maid.
"Ho--" Help with it, I want to eat it cooked.
The maid has become accustomed to the fact that it will run out from time to time and come back with a prey in its mouth. She just thinks it is pork and chicken and wants to eat some game.
But today the deer was a bit big, and there was blood on its neck.
The two little maids carried the wild deer to the kitchen together.
"Xiao Bai~" Juanjuan stumbled over and jumped directly on the white tiger, holding its ears with his little hands.
"Roar!" What are you doing?
"Didn't Ni say that he wanted to go home? Do you want to go with me to offer sacrifices? You can go back~"
During the sacrifice, the connection channel between the human world and the heaven can be opened, and then one can return to the heaven through this channel.
Bai Hu paused for a moment, then roared calmly.
"I'm not going back, I'm going to stay here to help you."
"ah?"
Juanjuan tilted his head, but he was still happy, "Okay, let's go to the nest~"
The white tiger took her down and nudged her butt with his nose.
Go quickly, go quickly.
This festival stipulated that everyone over the age of six must participate, so Yu Baiju and Yu Nanxing were also waiting in the hall.
Juan Juan was because the emperor specifically told her to take her with him.
After what happened yesterday, Bai Wanrou obviously didn't have a good rest. She looked haggard and was supported by the maid beside her.
After Juan Juan came out, he glanced around the hall and saw her.
[Aunt Wanrou’s face looks so bad. She must not have slept last night. 】
[My mother said it was someone who instigated it. Since the person behind it was sure that Miss Wanrou would save the beggar, he must know her very well. If Aunt Wanrou doesn't change her character, she will definitely be designed in this way again. 】
"Sister-in-law~" Juanjuan waved his little hand towards Bai Wanrou and raised a big smile, "Sister-in-law is not happy!"
Bai Wanrou's delicate face showed a gentle smile, and she touched Juanjuan's little head, "My sister-in-law is not unhappy."
Mrs. Lin was walking behind. Seeing this, she patted Bai Wanrou's arm and said softly, "If you feel uncomfortable, I won't go. It's okay."
Bai Wanrou lowered her head, the tip of her nose was sour, "Thank you, sister-in-law, I'm going."
Suddenly, a soft white hand stretched out from his sight, grabbing a handful of dried fruit.
"Eat it for my sister-in-law~"
Looking up, Bai Wanrou couldn't help but laugh when she saw Juanjuan's expression of pain.
"Thank you Juan Juan, but my sister-in-law doesn't want to eat it, so just eat it Juan Juan."
"Okay~" Juanjuan looked regretful, but in fact his eyes were bright and he was grinning.
[Hey, sister-in-law, if you don’t want it, it’s still curly! 】
At the altar, all the people are present.
The officials and princes and nobles were in the innermost part, and the outer ones were students and common people.
In the center of the altar is a huge statue of a god, which is a fusion of the characteristics of the gods. It looks majestic and mysterious looking down at the people below, which is daunting.
There are cloud flags on the altar, and the white smoke produced by burning incense slowly floats upward.
When the time came, the emperor ascended the altar and recited the sacrificial words solemnly and sacredly, "...Today I offer sacrifices to heaven, and I sincerely pray for the blessings of the gods, for the prosperity of our country, and for our students to make great progress... "
The courtiers were all kneeling. Juan Juan couldn't kneel down, so he lay on the ground, showing a posture of "falling to the ground".
When the emperor was reciting the words of sacrifice to heaven, she mumbled indistinctly.
"D-Sniff the dim sum to the point..."
The pain in her lower belly made her uncomfortable, so she moved her body. From a height, she looked like a fat puppy.
The emperor accidentally caught sight of this scene: "..."
Hey, where did he just say?
Yu Baiju and Yu Nanxing knelt on both sides of Juan Juan, tilting their heads to look at her and whispering, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Juan Juan arched his waist, stuck out his butt, and took out the snacks and dried fruits from his small pocket and gave them to his two brothers, "Hey, guys, eat them~"
Yu Nanxing was already hungry after staying here for an hour, and her mouth watered after smelling the aroma of snacks.
"Sister, we can't eat now. Now we are offering sacrifices to the gods. What if our eating makes the gods feel that we don't respect him and he won't come?"
Yu Baiju said softly.
Hearing this, Yu Nanxing drooled and struggled to move his eyes away from the many types of snacks.
"Third brother is right, let's eat later, sister, it's more important to ask God."
Juan Juan shook his head, "Eat it, eat it~ The gods will definitely come~"
Yu Nanxing was right. With her sister here, why would she be afraid that the gods might not come?
My sister is a relative in heaven!
So he immediately picked up a dried longan and stuffed it into his mouth with peace of mind and started eating.
"It's so sweet. Third brother, you should eat it too."
Yu Bai Ju: "...Okay" I couldn't help but join.
The three of them immersed themselves in eating, and the aroma attracted people around them who couldn't help but look over.
Juan Juan was in this position surrounded by some important officials of the court, but when they saw this scene, they all tacitly said nothing. Instead, they knelt down towards the three of them, trying to shield them.
King Yi knelt in front of the three of them and couldn't help but look back when he heard the crackling noise.
He looked majestic and looked very fierce, especially when his eyes glanced over, it made people's hearts freeze.
The minister next to him thought that King Yi was going to reprimand Juan Juan, so he quickly said with a flattering look on his face, "Your Highness, King Yi, children get hungry quickly, and they are still young. Don't argue with them..."
"Yes, yes, your lord has a lot."
