On the day of the Qingming sacrifice, Su Yi and the two men came over in the middle of the night carrying the clothes tray with palace attire.They even did all the grooming and dressing, and Su Yi also said that it must be foolproof.As a result, the clothes were too heavy, Xia Mi couldn't walk steadily when she stood up and almost fell, but Bai Ming held her up.

Afterwards, Xia Mi was sent to step up to rest in the Hall of Central Harmony, and went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony as soon as the auspicious time came.

The entire sacrificial ceremony was completed in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Xia Mi, who was not in good spirits, sat unsteadily in the main hall, couldn't help yawning, Su Yi stood beside her with a worried face, she felt more than once that it was too nonsense to let the second princess come to participate in the sacrifice, even the rules were like this Learning in five days is basically the same as not having one.

Although the emperor has already told them to teach them as best they can, they don't ask for much.However, this is the face of the royal family after all. If there is any mistake and the world becomes ugly, it is hard to guarantee that the two of them will not be angered.Therefore, Su Yi has worked hard in the past five days, and now she still reminds the second princess all the time.

While Su Yi was distracted, Bai Ming quietly walked to Xia Mi's side, pulled the crumbling head into his arms, and let her rest on his own.Bai Ming himself stood up straight, and soon Xia Mi leaned back and closed his eyes to rest and sleep for a while.It seemed that the din outside was silent.

Once Su Yi regained consciousness, she almost yelled in a hurry, but she suppressed it under the hiss of Bai Ming who raised her index finger.

That's all, let's do whatever we want.

When the sky was getting dark, following the sound of the old man outside, a eunuch came in and said: "Second Princess, please."

Baiming quickly woke Xia Mi up, put her hands on Baiming's in a daze, and walked out. When the cold wind in the morning blew, Xia Mi suddenly shivered, only then did she wake up. There were many people standing densely, and she heard Su Yi's soft reminder: "Master, go ahead and enter the arena."

The master of ceremonies sang: clean water.A court lady brought clean water, Xia Mi cleaned her face and hands in turn, and then went to the clean towel brought up by the maid next to her, and the master of ceremonies sang clean hands again.Xia Mi wiped his hands dry again.When the master of ceremonies sang incense again, someone had already handed the ordered incense to Xia Mi, and she would bring it over.

Master of Ceremonies: "Welcome to the ancestors~"

Xia Mi began to play the incense according to the steps of offering incense. First, she turned the incense around, and then bowed eastward three times. She read: "This is the auspicious time of the zodiac. The Xia clan of Dacang Kingdom is conducting a ceremony to worship the ancestors. I respectfully invite the ancestors Liezong came together to feast on delicacies, fruits and vegetables." Then he held incense to the altar.

All the silk and bamboo suonas were played.

Then burn incense, burn incense, and finally salute.

Xia Mi took the lead and knelt at the front, with his hands flat on his forehead, and his whole body knelt down to the ground.Such kneeling and prostration will be regarded as a ceremony.

The next step is to bow and offer offerings of fruits and vegetables.

……

By the time the set comes down, it's past noon.Xia Mi was staggering back to the Hall of Central Harmony with Bai Ming's support, and she sat paralyzed on the spot as soon as she entered and couldn't get up.Mother Zhao, who had been waiting for a long time, hurried over with tea, and Xia Mi gulped down a few cups before she had the strength to speak.

"hungry."

As soon as Xia Mi said, Mother Zhao had already handed over the cake, "There is nothing to eat in the Hall of Central Harmony, so the master fills his stomach first."

The group rested for a while, and Su Yi finished the work here. When she entered the Zhonghe Hall again, her attitude towards Xia Mi was obviously much better, even a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she greeted Xia Mi, "Two The princess behaved very well today, not falling into the demeanor of a heavenly family."

Isn't that right, she memorized all those dry and boring sacrificial words abruptly.

Just ask you to ask a five- or six-year-old child to recite a novel of several thousand words, do you think it will be abused or not?

On the way back, Nanny Zhao kept saying excitedly that now the emperor should pay attention to the master and let the master go to the study to study. □□ There is training, all princesses who have reached the age of five must enter the upper study to study.However, the emperor seemed to have forgotten about the child Xia Mi.

Back at Xigedian, Shao Yao had already prepared the meal, and Xia Mi devoured it hungrily before going to catch up on sleep.

The courtiers also retreated.

"General Bai, please stay."

Someone shouted from behind, Bai Han paused, turned around and saw Dong Shangshu walking up quickly, she nodded slightly, and bowed slightly to the person, "I don't know who it is, so it's Dong Shangshu, what's the matter?"

Dong Qingyu looked at her with a smile on the surface, "Today's sacrifice, the second princess can be said to advance and retreat with restraint, quite like the style of the emperor back then, standing next to her is your girl who entered the palace. Congratulations here, he is a successful child."

"What are you happy about?" Bai Han shook his sleeves in displeasure, "That incompetent girl is just a concubine, and being able to enter the palace is a blessing she cultivated in her previous life. I only hope that she will protect her master in peace and don't want to achieve any big things. .”

Seeing the words like this, Dong Qingyu couldn't say anything more, but smiled at her meaningfully, and then left.

Zhao Yuan walked in a little bit, stood next to Bai Han, and looked at Dong Qingyu who was walking away, "Except for the preparations by the Ministry of Officials, the Holy Majesty entrusted Dong Meiren to handle the sacrificial matters."

"It turns out that she was just annoyed at being married for nothing, so she just called me twice." Bai Han straightened her sleeves and looked at Zhao Yuan, "Your officials have done a beautiful thing this time."

Zhao Yuan also laughed, "It's just thanks to the second princess."

The two quickly chatted with others, and separated after leaving the palace gate.

Back in the mansion, Zhao Yuan was humming a ditty, feeling the wind under her feet, as soon as she entered the hall, the husband who greeted her tilted her face, and joked: "Have you been praised by the emperor? See how happy you are."

Zhao Yuan sat down comfortably, took the tea he handed over, took a sip slowly, and then said: "I thought there was no hope, but I didn't expect that the sky will still be bright after all."

"Aren't you just talking nonsense? It's not dark yet, so why does the sun come up?" Zheng Fu pushed her, and Zhao Yuan was in a good mood, boasting again and again: "What husband said is true, it's because I'm narrow-minded." Everyone said this man When you are in a good mood, you will be motivated to do anything.Zhao Yuan took her husband's hand and went straight into the bedroom.

"It's still daytime." Her husband pushed and pushed in fear, but the more he pushed and pushed, the more flushed his face became. After a while, the two of them rolled onto the bed, and it was... spring light.

The days passed in May, and the weather gradually turned hotter. Ever since the sacrifice, the emperor seemed to have forgotten about the second princess, and Mammy Zhao didn't wait for the emperor's word of mouth or anything, anyway, she didn't even get a reward.Every time Xia Mi thought of this, she would ask Bai Ming, "Do you think my mother has enmity with me?"

"why would you say so?"

"Look, you didn't even get a reward for torturing me so much. It's my fault that I went for her?" Xia Mi murmured eloquently, and said that if she hadn't suffered all the troubles, that mother would be the one who suffered. .

Said Bai Ming smiled, her eyes were bright, and she looked very good-looking.

But after laughing, Bai Ming still said very seriously: "Master, don't talk such nonsense in the future. Being able to represent the emperor to attend the sacrifice is something that all the princesses in the palace are fighting for. I think it's a good thing that the emperor doesn't reward you." .”

"If you don't fight, you fight, I know." Xia Mi waved his hands lazily, thinking about what to eat for lunch.However, Bai Ming who was next to him was indeed a little surprised.

Before she entered the palace, her father and aunt repeatedly told her many things. Among them was that there were only three princesses in the palace, but the first princess was a fool, and Queen Feng died young and had no one to rely on.Bai Ming didn't understand at the time, and asked instead, how could he survive the danger if he didn't fight?

She still remembers her father and aunt saying that if you don't fight, you have to fight.

At that time, his eyes were very determined.

Unable to explain why, Bai Ming believed it.Hearing Xia Mi's words again today, I am even more sure that my father and aunt are right.She secretly made up her mind to protect her.He picked up the stick and went to practice in the courtyard again.

Xia Mi discussed with Mother Zhao, asked someone to get some seeds, and set up a plot in the backyard, planting some cucumbers, eggplants, watermelons, and strawberries.In the beginning, only Xia Mi wanted to eat watermelon. Every summer, she took half a melon and dug it with a spoon, and ate it as a meal.

After coming here for so long, there are very few fruits to eat, so she came up with the idea of ​​growing melons by herself.

Do it yourself and have enough food and clothing.

Then I told Mother Zhao that it was not only watermelon seeds, but also strawberries, and some side dish seeds.Mother Zhao sighed again and again, "If the master is not thoughtful, I don't know how long I will have to look at other people's faces."

Even the digging of the ground was done by Xia Mi herself. Of course, it was the matter of Zhao Nanny and Jixiang Shaoyao in the end, so she dug it from time to time, thinking it was exercise.Thinking of this, she was deeply poisoned by the sacrifice, and felt that her physical strength was completely insufficient.

Later, he ran to practice stick swinging with Bai Ming, but after two or three days, not to mention the hand holding the stick was bubbly, and he couldn't lift his arm, even with Bai Ming, he was scolded by Mother Zhao. No matter how Xia Mi explained, she was not allowed to practice anymore.Said that if Empress Feng knew about it, she would feel so sorry for Yunyun.

Thinking of the father whom he had never met, Xia Mi remembered that when the priest went to offer incense in the ancestral temple, he had seen that portrait, um, he was a handsome man.

She could only practice secretly, but as a result, every time Bai Ming saw her with an unusually ugly face, Xia Mi thought that she was afraid that Madam Zhao would punish her again, so she kindly comforted her, "It's okay, I'll cover you in everything." Xia Mi felt that he was almost moved by the awe-inspiring appearance of righteousness.

However, Bai Ming couldn't help but said: "Master's martial arts qualifications are too bad, I can't bear to hit you, but I really don't want to see you tormenting yourself like this again."

Is the touch worth fifty cents?Believe it or not, I will kill you!

Xia Mi turned back to the room very depressed, then closed the door, called Ah Chen to come out, and asked with a straight face, "What do you think of my martial arts training?"

Ah Chen thought for a while, "Do you really want to say it?"

"Needless to say." Xia Mi felt that she was disgusted, so she ran to the study and searched a lot of books, but she didn't find any late bloomers in martial arts, and there were quite a few other civil servants. Ming came to him and gave an example: Monk Xu Zhu.

That Jue.bi is the representative of the late success in the martial arts world.

Bai Ming listened to her quietly, and then asked: "Isn't that why you became famous after receiving the true martial arts from the senior?"

Well, that makes sense.

Xia Mi was suddenly unhappy, why did she tell her about Wu Yazi's attack!

"I think the master's talent for reading is great, and he shouldn't waste it on such useless things." Bai Ming looked at her, took Xia Mi's hand, and placed it on his left chest.Xia Mi felt a beating heart there, boom boom, boom boom...

"I, Baiming, swear on my life that I will protect the master for the rest of my life." Baiming said, even though the voice was not very loud, but it was firm, and it landed on Xia Mi's heart resoundingly.She said: "I'm not strong right now, but I will work hard to become stronger and stronger, surpassing Chen, surpassing others, surpassing everyone. I will protect you for the rest of your life! Therefore, master does not need to practice martial arts."

So, girl, your last sentence is the key point!

Even though she complained a little in her heart, Xia Mi still felt warm.She reached out and hugged Bai Ming gently, "Thank you!"
