Outside, the heaven-sacrifice ceremony is still going on, but the protagonists are the princes headed by the prince.
As a princess, she could only follow her relatives, look at the princes in front of her, and complete the ritual of praying for the country.
Above the main hall, the five adult princes lined up in order, and according to their status, they completed the blessing ceremony together.
Lin Mengya's eyes involuntarily followed Long Tianyu.
Unlike the prince who was dressed in a coquettish and well-known name, Long Tianyu wore a black dress with a four-clawed green dragon embroidered on it.
Under the sun, this man stood up straight and showed his natural nobility in every move he made.
He sincerely wants to pray for the Jin Dynasty, and he also sincerely respects his ancestors and relatives.
Compared with the perfunctory and showy attitude of the prince, Long Tianyu was many times more pious. But the man who relied on the protection of his ancestors to become the prince was only thinking about how to fight for power.
Such a comparison can be regarded as a kind of irony.
In the main hall, all the etiquette has reached the last stage. All the princes must shoot bows and arrows. One is to pray for blessings and make the Jin Dynasty long-lasting.
Secondly, it is to see how far the adult princes have grown. To put it bluntly, it is just to show off the princes' military strength.
After all, the long-term peace and stability of the Jin Dynasty depends not only on the emperor's wisdom and martial arts.
A strong military force is one of the secrets to making your neighbors be honest and obedient.
The five people lined up one after another, and five red-heart targets had been placed outside the door of the hall.
Lin Mengya didn't know it, but Long Tianyu's martial arts were extravagant and unpredictable. Even Qinghu didn't dare to underestimate Long Tianyu.
When he was arranging a bow and shooting an arrow, every move showed such determination. Not to mention Lin Mengya, even the clan members were praising the postures of the several princes.
"The destiny of the country is prosperous and long-lasting. Please invite some princes to shoot golden arrows with phoenixes and pray for the blessings of our ancestors!"
The official's voice sounded, and all five people drew their bows and aimed at their targets.
After a 'whoosh' sound, five arrows shot out with a subtle sound of breaking through the air.
According to the rules, these people were supposed to shoot nine arrows in a row. But what everyone didn't expect was that just when the last arrow was about to be shot, the fifth prince suddenly turned around and shot the arrow at the spectators.
crowd.
"Ah! Mom!"
For a moment, everyone screamed in fear, and the clan members on this side were even more frightened to death.
What he didn't expect was that the arrow shot straight towards someone in the crowd.
But only she, Standing there, he did not shy away from the arrows flying towards him.
With a 'buzz' sound, the Fengming Arrow slashed past her face, piercing deeply into the vermilion coiled dragon pillar behind her.
The arrow tail was still trembling, but no one dared to take a breath.
"Fifth Prince, your archery skills are good. But your eyesight doesn't seem to be very good. This is not a bull's-eye."
A pair of hands as white as jade stretched out and pulled out the arrow that had been shot on the dragon column.
No one expected that Lin Mengya, who should be frightened the most, was calmer than everyone else.
Taking one step, two steps, and three steps, Lin Mengya walked up to the fifth prince calmly and offered the arrow smoothly.
"Since you are praying for the country, you should leave no regrets. Please send this arrow to where it belongs, Fifth Prince."
The atmosphere became a little dull because of what happened just now.
But no one expected that Lin Mengya would be so tolerant and generous, personally giving the arrow to the fifth prince.
The fifth prince Long Yingchu suddenly smiled evilly, reached out and took the arrow in Lin Mengya's hand, and with a flick of his hand, the arrow hit the bull's-eye.
But her eyes never left Lin Mengya, who turned around.
"Third brother, your princess is beyond my expectation. Why, I heard that the person you like the most is not that sickly Su Linlang? Now, her taste has changed."
Ever since Long Yingchu shot that arrow, Long Tianyu's heart had become extremely cold.
Relying on his noble birth, the fifth prince never paid attention to people like them. He only wanted to be on good terms with the prince.
Moreover, every time the fifth prince got into trouble, his father always laughed it off. But he didn't expect that he would dare to shoot Lin Mengya openly during the memorial ceremony.
The big hand holding the bow was so hard that it turned white. After giving the fifth prince a cold look, he said gloomily
"If she is injured, I will take your life."
There was an ice coldness in his voice that could freeze everything. Even Long Qinghan looked at the fifth prince with an unkind look on his face.
"Humph, even my father can't do anything to me. How can you guys do anything? But your princess is really bold and interesting."
The brief conversation between the two people did not escape the ears of the prince.
However, he watched with cold eyes and had no intention of caring about his two younger brothers.
Although Lin Mengya is as beautiful as a flower, she is more beautiful than those in his house.
All concubines must be beautiful. However, she is ignorant of current affairs.
If he stayed, sooner or later it would be a disaster for him and Daji.
However, he was a little surprised that the fifth prince dared to take action at this time. He sneered in his heart, did this idiot really think that his father loved him?
However, it was just because the fifth prince’s mother’s natal family was very powerful.
This time, he committed the crime of contempt for his ancestors. Didn't you see that all the clan members were already frowning?
Even if the imperial concubine's family wanted to protect him, they would probably have to go through a lot of trouble. Moreover, the fifth prince's biological mother, Concubine Chen, died three years ago.
Today is different from the past. This idiot is still seeking death here.
Keeping a smile and controlling her legs, Lin Mengya persisted and walked to the viewing position. .??.
Only she knew that the scene just now had her covered in white hair.
Who can not be afraid when seeing bows and arrows coming?
She was just too surprised and frightened, so she couldn't move for a while.
Beep beep beep, I really wanted to say something harsh. Just now, just now, the arrow was only one centimeter away from me, or less than one centimeter away.
If she wasn't so lucky, her hair must have been braided or her face was disfigured.
The anger in her heart was so overwhelming that even if Lin Mengya was beaten to death, she would not forget the face of the fifth prince.
Okay! These fifth princes are quite capable!
She, Lin Mengya, swore that one day, sooner or later, the fifth prince who wanted to be punished would scream that Tiantian should not respond, and that the earth and earth would not work!
The shocked ceremony officer immediately announced that the ceremony had been completed. Oh my God, if it were delayed any longer, if blood splashed on the ceremony, even if he had eight heads, he would be chopped off and kicked like a cuju.
In this way, a heaven-sacrifice ceremony that contained conspiracy and threats ended.
The four girls who have been waiting in the side hall have been anxious for a long time.
Apart from anything else, Baiji was already anxious because she knew the secret of the clothes.
Fortunately, although Lin Mengya was greatly frightened, she did not forget her girl.
He asked people to take them all to his sedan chair. Listening to the comments of others, the four girls realized what a thrilling scene Lin Mengya had just experienced.
When he went back, he didn't see the same scenery as when he came. However, Lin Mengya had narrowly escaped death and came back after a full circle in front of the gate of hell.
The prayer banquet must be held for three consecutive days.
However, because the emperor is seriously ill this year, it will only be held for one day. r> Everything Lin Mengya had prepared was brought to the palace early. As soon as they arrived at the small courtyard prepared for them, Lin Mengya slumped down on the bed, with a small face and a pale face.
I am so surprised!
"Master, please come over quickly and take a shower and change clothes. What if you catch a cold while wearing wet clothes?"
Bai Ji was attentive. He just touched Lin Mengya's back vest and knew that the clothes inside were already soaked.
"well."
She really needed to take a good bath to stabilize her mood.
After dragging off the dress, it turned out that the snow-white shirt underneath was clinging to Lin Mengya's slender waist.
After entering the hot water, she was a little frightened and talked about the situation at that time with several girls.
"By the way, Master, you said before that this dress was embroidered with seven-colored phoenixes. But why did it turn into six-colored phoenixes in the end?"
Bai Zhi tilted her head and asked in confusion.
Lin Mengya just smiled slightly and looked at Baiji with admiration.
"This is all due to your sister Baiji. I just realized that it turns out that Aunt Bai is the descendant of ghost embroidery who even the embroiderers in the palace were willing to be inferior to. No wonder, I always feel that the clothes you make for me are better than those in the palace.
It’s a hundred times more exquisite, and the ghost embroidery is truly worthy of its reputation.”
Seeing Lin Mengya's admiring gaze, Bai Ji felt proud but a little shy.
It turned out that Lin Mengya ordered Baiji to prepare some dyes that could be used to dye silk threads that day.
Unexpectedly, after her mother found out the whole story, she handed over the special dye passed down from their family to Bai Ji.
This dye is obviously colorless and odorless, but it has miraculous effects.
As long as two dyes of different colors are added one after another, the dyed silk thread will turn into different colors according to the different external temperatures.
Bai Ji first removed the Phoenix's eyes, then carefully bleached and dyed them, and then embroidered them back as they were.
Therefore, what the phoenix's eyes see at normal temperature is black.
But after being smoked with a warm aromatherapy stove, it turned into its original purple color.
That's why I managed to hide it from the ceremony officer and convinced Yun Si. No matter how hard I searched, I couldn't find any flaws.
After listening to Lin Mengya's words, the three girls' mouths automatically formed an 'o' shape.
Damn it, Bletilla striata has always been missing in those days, just because of this thing.
But Bai Zhi, a curious baby, kept asking endless questions. Holding Lin Mengya's dress, she was surprised to see the peony, which suddenly turned into a peony.
