"Your Majesty is here!"

Someone shouted, and the noise in the square suddenly began to quiet down.

On the corridor outside Jinluan Hall.

A group of eunuchs and maids walked slowly towards the square surrounded by a golden canopy.

As soon as Nangong Xueyi got in front of Luo Qingzhou, before she could speak, Nangong Meijiao grabbed her and forcibly pulled her away.

Nangong Xueyi had no choice but to turn around and say: "Master Luo, I will come see you again when the banquet is held in the afternoon."

"Shut up!"

Nangong Meijiao had a cold face and pulled her suddenly, almost causing her to fall.

Nangong Xueyi said angrily: "Meijiao, I am your sister! I am not a prisoner!"

Nangong Meijiao ignored her, quickened her pace, and took her directly back to the group of royal family members.

Nangong Xueyi immediately began to complain to the elders, brothers and sisters.

When Luo Qingzhou saw their sisters leaving, he turned his head and looked in the direction where everyone in the Lingxiao Sect was standing, just in time to catch Linghu Qingzhu's gaze.

Their eyes met across the sea of ​​people.

There was a pause.

Luo Qingzhou moved away and looked elsewhere, and happened to meet another pair of eyes.

He raised his eyebrows and said, "Bailing, why are you looking at my uncle?"

Bai Ling said nothing, and withdrew his gaze and looked at the emperor's driver.

Luo Qingzhou was slightly surprised. This girl didn't pout out her mouth?

At this time, everyone's eyes were looking there.

Luo Qingzhou also looked over.

Emperor Nangong Yang filially supported the Queen Mother and, surrounded by everyone, slowly walked down the steps towards the altar in the square.

The eldest princess, dressed in a fiery red dress, followed behind, her face majestic and cold.

Following the eunuch's sharp shout, everyone in the square, whether they were members of the royal family, various meritorious officials or ministers, or people from the five major sects, bowed their heads to pay homage.

The emperor, the queen mother, the eldest princess, and other members of the royal family walked slowly up the steps covered with red carpet to the altar.

The ceremonial officer began to read the sacrificial words aloud.

The royal family members on the stage and everyone in the audience bowed their heads in solemn silence.

After reciting the sacrificial words for a long time, another ceremonial official began to light incense, and then brought water for the emperor to wash his hands.

Then, we began to welcome the gods, salute, enter the altar, make first offerings, second offerings, etc.

After a series of complicated rituals, the sun has risen in the afternoon.

The huge square, densely packed with people, was silent.

At the end of the ceremony, the emperor ordered the maids to start distributing fresh fruits and white flour steamed buns to the crowd, which meant that this year the country would be peaceful and the people would be safe, and the harvest would be plentiful.

At this time, everyone's tense nerves relaxed, they all took the fruits and began to move their stiff bodies, or just sit down and rest, or talk in a low voice.

The quiet square immediately became noisy again.

Luo Qingzhou looked at the Lingxiao Sect team on the other side of the crowd.

At this time, Linghu Qingzhu's eyes were also looking over.

The two people's eyes met. Linghu Qingzhu stretched out a finger and lightly scratched his face to indicate that she had recognized him, and then glanced next to him.

Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, then turned to look beside him.

The pink and tender little lark, at some point, silently stood next to him, looking back at him from a distance.

Luo Qingzhou immediately understood what Linghu Qingzhu meant.

He stretched out his hand, put it on Bai Ling's shoulder, and nodded to the distant gaze.

Linghu Qingzhu glanced at him with contempt again, then looked away, turned away, and looked at the altar.

Bai Ling took Luo Qingzhou's hand away, walked to the side, and stood behind Song Ruyue.

Luo Qingzhou saw the uncomfortable expression on her face, so he leaned over and whispered: "Why are you always peeking at me? Do you want to kiss me?"

Bai Ling looked at the altar and ignored him.

Luo Qingzhou was standing at the back with her. Seeing that no one was looking over at this time, he suddenly stretched out his hand and gently hugged her slender waist from behind. He brought his mouth to her ear and whispered to her white little ear.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Bailing's delicate body trembled, and two blushes instantly climbed up her cheeks. She clenched her fists subconsciously, with a cold light in her eyes, but soon, she slowly loosened her clenched pink fists, and the look in her eyes

The cold light gradually receded, and he just whispered: "Go away."

Luo Qingzhou was surprised by her reaction. He suddenly opened his mouth and bit her earlobe.

Bailington's body froze, frozen in place, as if he had suddenly turned into a sculpture, motionless.

Luo Qingzhou bit her ear and was about to speak when he suddenly saw Song Ruyue standing in front about to turn her head. He immediately released his mouth and hands and quickly stepped back a few steps to the side.

At this time, Song Ruyue turned her head, looked at Bai Ling behind her, and said with a smile: "Bai Ling'er, are you happy to come to the palace? You... Hey, why are your faces so red?"

Bai Ling raised his hand, touched his face and said, "It's hot."

"hot?"

Song Ruyue raised her head, looked at the winter sun in the sky, and asked doubtfully: "The weather is good if it's not cold, but you are still hot? Your body is too angry, right? What did you eat in the morning?"

At this time, the palace maid brought plates and fruits.

Song Ruyue hurriedly took a few steps forward, brought a few over, handed her a red apple, and said with a smile: "Bailinger, this apple is red and matches your current face. Eat it quickly, stand up.

After half a day, I must be thirsty."

Bai Ling took the apple and said, "Thank you, madam."

Song Ruyue took another banana and handed it to Luo Qingzhou next to her, saying: "Qingzhou, here you go."

Luo Qingzhou quickly took it in his hand and said, "Thank you, mother-in-law."

Qin Wenzheng, Qin Chuan and Mei'er all took the fruits and started eating.

This melon and fruit symbolizes abundant food and clothing, and peace every year, so they naturally will not waste it.

Song Ruyue peeled an orange directly and ate it.

Luo Qingzhou pushed aside the banana, then approached Bai Ling, handed it to her and said, "Would you like to take a bite first?"

Bai Ling was slightly startled, with the shadow of the banana reflected in his pupils. He hesitated for a moment, opened his mouth, and prepared to take a bite.

Unexpectedly, just as she was about to bite it, Luo Qingzhou suddenly retracted it and put it directly into his mouth, saying: "You should eat the apple."

Bai Ling turned his head and looked at him dimly.

Luo Qingzhou stretched out his hand and pinched her pink cheeks, and said strangely: "Bailing, why are you so easy to bully today and why are you not chirping anymore? It's because you came to the palace and was dazzled and dumbfounded.

?”

Bai Ling opened his hand and walked to Song Ruyue, ignoring him.

Luo Qingzhou didn't dare to come closer, took a bite of banana, and looked towards the royal members. He happened to see Nangong Meijiao's eyes, staring at him coldly.

Luo Qingzhou raised the banana in his hand and moved his lips: Do you want to eat it?

Nangong Meijiao rolled her eyes at him, withdrew her gaze and looked away.

At this time, Linghu Qingzhu's eyes were also looking at him.

Um?

He suddenly turned his head and found that Bai Ling next to him was secretly staring at him again.

Luo Qingzhou couldn't help but ask: "Bailing, why do you always peek at my uncle?"

Bai Ling withdrew his gaze and continued to eat the apple with his head down, ignoring him.

At this time, Song Ruyue suddenly turned her head and looked at him and said, "Hey Bai Ling'er, what's wrong with you? You're standing here and you don't allow others to look at you?"

Luo Qingzhou smiled and said: "It's not that I don't let her see it. She can see it openly. She always looks at it secretly, as if I would ask her for money."

Song Ruyue smiled, charmingly, and said: "You are the only one who can speak. This is the first time Bai Ling'er has come to the palace, the first time he has seen the Emperor and the Queen Mother, and the first time he has seen so many people. Naturally, he is not as comfortable as you."

.”

"Humph, that's right! My uncle loves to bully people!"

At this time, Bai Ling suddenly pouted and said: "Madam, beat him! Beat my uncle! Make the decision for Xiao Bai Ling!"

Song Ruyue smiled and said: "I don't dare to beat you up. If he complains to Weimo when we get back, Weimo won't let me go."

While several people were talking, the ceremonial officer suddenly shouted on the altar: "Silence! Your Majesty, please read the message!"

The sacrifice to heaven has come to an end, and it will be over as soon as the emperor's concluding speech is read out.
To be continued...
