“Just what’s going on?” Ning Xiaoyao rubbed her eyes There’s no eye poop here, ah
“Nothing,” Lou Zigui withdrew his hand and resu Xiaoyao chewed noisily on the rice ball in her mouth She really didn’t understand the humans of this world
“I’ll be right at the foot of the stairs leading to the ancestral hall during the Grand Sacrificial Cere Xiaoyao quietly “I won’t be very far”
“Mh Xiaoyao nodded At the same time she reached for a rice ball, she flashed hi will happen to us with me here”
Lou Zigui softly ht’ before he asked, “Xiaoyao, do you want to come to Anyuan with me?”
The sudden questionXiaoyao echoed “Is that where your home is, Supreme Commander?”
Lou Zigui nodded “It’s not as prosperous as the capital city, but I’ll definitely take good care of you I…”
“I want to,” Ning Xiaoyao interrupted before he finished “I want to go” If she wanted to save Elder Brother Lou, then she’d have to go to the Anyuan Six Provinces and the Night Crow Pass at some point She tore off a chunk of riceball and silently offered encourageui He had to survive until the day he could go home!
“Alright,” Lou Zigui lifted his hand to touch Ning Xiaoyao’s head again Perhaps he’d be able to forget that this girl was a scion of the ihter after they went to Anyuan
The two days passed while Lou Zigui and Grand Preceptor Xie were planning their sche herself with food, and while everyone else orrying about ould happen On theof the third day, the rosy clouds dyed the skies pink Ning Xiaoyao put on her dragon robes and semi-circular jade pendant by her waist As she stood at the head of the stairs with the breeze fluttering through past her clothes, she looking rather steady and grounded despite her youth The vast skies above the ancestral hall, its surrounding square, and the landing atop the steps see it a little hard to breathe
You have to be serious and fearsoht of a true dragon son without falling into wrath
Standing atop the landing, Ning Xiaoyao reviewed Lou Zigui’s words in her head She silently took in the various civil officials and i them all as zombies As a result, her expression turned evenintent that eure commanded an aura of respect and veneration
But the onlookers didn’t quite understand His Majesty Here was the Grand Sacrificial Ceremony, an occasion to make sacrifices to the Gods and one’s ancestors while praying for peace, good weather, and abundant harvests for the populace It was a place to be humble and ask for help, so why did His Majesty look ready for an all-out braith the Gods and ancestors alike? (Author: That’s why, Supre Your Majesty, you’re wearing the wrong expression as well o(╯□╰)o )
The head astrologer looked at Ning Xiaoyao’s creased brows and asked tio into the main hall now?”
Ning Xiaoyao said, “Did you guys bring your pot lids?”
His Majesty’s words were an imperial decree, so how could they dare disobey? “To reply Your Majesty, we subjects brought theer answered
“Really?” Ning Xiaoyao curved her fingers to rap against the head astrologer’s old, wizened chest “I’ht now Where are your pot lids?”
The head astrologer’s expression ooden “Your Majesty wanted us subjects to carry the pot lids on our bodies?”
“What else could I haveXiaoyao said
Huer’s face Your Majesty, even if you loathe us subjects, you can’t disgrace us this way! When Ning Xiaoyao saw that the head astrologer looked on the verge of tears, her mouth twitch Could it be he doesn’t fear death and wants his share of the action, too?
“Your Majesty, are you going to enter the er said in a respectful and professional tone Please don’t bring up the pot lids again
“You guys will regret it,” Ning Xiaoyao pointed her finger at each of the seven astrologers “You definitely will”
“………” said the seven astrologers We subjects definitely won’t!
Ning Xiaoyao took a deep breath and felt her pockets to ar beans, sunflower seeds, and peanuts were still there Then she lifted a hand and pushed open the doors to the ancestral hall
“Kneeeeeel~” one of the officials of the astronomy department shouted
Everyone fell to their knees Ning Xiaoyao stepped over the threshold of the door and cast one lance at the altar with its imperial memorial tablets Already, she could see that the setup was different froreen cloth spread over the altar that reached to the ground With one foot in and one foot out, Ning Xiaoyao paused over the threshold Most likely, the villain in charge of trapping her was hiding behind that cloth with her doppelganger
“Your Majesty?” the head astrologer asked from behind her
Ning Xiaoyao turned back to glance at hi me to my death?”
The head astrologer quickly fell to his knees It looks like he doesn’t just want to humiliate me, but take my life as well!
