Women's clothing because of lack of money [Comprehensive]

After a discussion between the two, Tamamo sent a letter asking Ge Ye to pay more attention to the movements of the Fujiwara family.

At this moment, a shadow suddenly appeared in the house. The person who came was Yan Gui. She said respectfully to the two, "Masters, just now people from the ninja clan sent me the news that the assassination list has been confirmed. The employer canceled it."

"What?" Bai Shu was surprised when he heard the words, "Did you tell them that the assassination failed?"

"The subordinate didn't say whether the assassination was carried out, but the mission was canceled directly." Yan Gui explained.

"That's weird." Bai Shu murmured, a little confused by the attitude of the people behind the scenes, "Do they think that I will definitely not be able to become the chief priestess in the final review?"

"Don't let your guard down." Yu Zao exhorted him.

"I know." Bai Shu nodded.

In April, the cherry blossoms are blooming in the world, against the soft sunlight, it is as beautiful as falling into a dream.

Reflecting this beautiful scenery in the depths of his eyes, a child in a white robe turned his head with a smile and said, "Hei Tongzi, we have already entered the world. Do you remember? This is the cherry blossom tree in the world, which blooms every spring. It will bloom, isn't it beautiful."

The child called "Black Boy" stood beside him, wearing a black robe, with an indifferent and cold expression on his face.Only when he heard the words of the white robed child, the expression on his face fluctuated a little, he nodded slightly and replied, "Mmm..."

"..." I don't know if Hei Tongzi really remembered it, but Bai Tongzi felt helpless for a moment.

Suddenly, the black boy looked at the white boy's face, and slowly stretched out his hand. The white boy froze, and his eyes fell on his hand.

"Sakura..." Hei Tongzi murmured.At the same time, he took a cherry blossom petal that had just fallen from Baitongzi's hair.

"Thank you." Bai Tongzi curled his lips, no matter what, he will always, always be by Hei Tongzi's side.As for now, the most important thing is to complete the task ordered by Master Yan Mo. "Now, we're going to the vicinity of the Kyoto Shrine, and first secretly spy on the human being that Lord Yan Mo said."

"Yes." The black boy followed the white boy.

At this time in Kyoto, red knots and lucky bags are hung everywhere. Pedestrians walking on the road have smiles and expectations on their faces, and from time to time they will gather together to talk about what is about to happen today.

"Today is the final review. I really look forward to who the chief priestess is."

"I guess it should be Shirashu-sama of the Inari God Temple. Her previous two selections were the highest."

"That's not necessarily true. Master Bai Shu was born as a commoner in the area, and the final reviewers are all nobles and dignitaries in Kyoto. Who would choose a priestess who has no family background?"

"Is there no fair selection? I believe the Emperor must be fair."

"..."

Pedestrians on the road were discussing from time to time, while the priestesses who were at the center of the topic embarked on their way to the palace.

Compared with the floats they took during the selection, they now take a horse-drawn carriage to go to the palace. As long as the curtain is lowered, the hustle and bustle outside the carriage can be isolated.

The Kyoto Shrine is very rich and powerful, and the first fifteen witches each have their own carriage, with guards leading the way in front, and attendants accompanying the carriage.

"After going to the palace, if there is anything wrong, please send me a message with spiritual power." Yu Zaoqian sat in front of Baishu, and told him repeatedly more than once. "If there is barrier isolation, use your spiritual power to open the fox face I gave you, and I will definitely rush over."

There was a faint light from the window of the car with the curtain drawn, falling into Bai Shu's eyes, enough to illuminate the tenderness, "Don't worry, I know everything."

"..." Yuzao looked at Bai Shu before stopping to tell her.Today's young man is still wearing a gorgeous and solemn maiden costume, and the hair accessories on his hair are still put on by himself, shining brightly and dazzingly.

Maybe it should have been simpler and not let his youth be so eye-catching.But always involuntarily, give him the best things.

That pair of deep eyes flickered slightly, and there was an inexplicable emotion surging in Yuzaoqian's heart. This emotion was familiar but strange, and it always affected his mood frequently recently.

Hearing from Ge Ye, this is a concern that arises only after caring about someone.

The gate of the royal palace arrived soon, and all the witches had to get out of the carriage and walk, including Bai Shu.

"I'll wait for you to come back." Or I'll take you out of here.Yu Zaoqian finally said that he didn't say the remaining half of the sentence. He was afraid that he would not be able to follow the previous agreement after saying it, so he took Baishu away directly.

"Okay." Bai Shu stood in front of the carriage. Others couldn't see Yuzao. Naturally, they didn't know who Bai Shu was answering, but Bai Shu didn't let others hear it.

Huaying got off from another carriage, and after seeing Bai Shu, she couldn't help but walked towards him, but was taken a step ahead by another figure.

"Master Pingzhiji..." Huaying greeted her dryly.

"The order of the team can't be messed up." Ping Zhiji glanced at her and said calmly, her indifferent words seemed to be explaining.

"Okay, thank you Lord Ping Zhiji for your reminder." Huaying looked around, and found that everyone looked very serious, and couldn't help feeling nervous along with it.It was the first time for her to see such a big scene, and she hoped nothing would go wrong.

Standing back to her position, Huaying thought wildly.When she was nervous, she suddenly touched something on her wrist.The two strings of rough bells are already covered with rust, and the kenaf rope has not faded.

Jacaranda...

Thinking of that name in her heart, Huaying suddenly didn't feel nervous or afraid.As an older sister, she will definitely be brave, find her younger sister, and then protect her.

In the depths of the main residence of the Yuan family, Yinghua, who was about to follow Heyu to the altar, suddenly stopped, staring blankly at her wrist.It was empty and there was nothing there, but she always felt as if she had lost something important.

And - she just heard someone calling her name, but it wasn't He Yu or anyone else around her.So, who is it?

"Master Yinghua, what's wrong with you? We are going to the altar now..." Heyu's voice sounded cautiously beside Yinghua, humble and respectful.

"It's nothing, I always feel as if I forgot something." Yinghua put down her hand, her eyes regained her calmness.

"It should be some irrelevant things, so they will be gradually forgotten." Heyu persuaded, but he was slightly relieved in his heart. Every time Yinghua went to that place, her temperament would change drastically. memory.Fortunately, this time, after his personality regained his clarity, he was not as gloomy as before, but instead approached the calmness of Master Yuan Jiangtian.

"Really?" Yinghua said with a slightly hesitant voice, but soon she stopped worrying about this fruitless question, raised her eyes to the heavy altar gate, and said, "Let's go in."

"Yes..." Even after doing a lot of psychological construction, Heyu still felt his scalp tingling when he saw the door.She could only comfort herself as much as possible, it didn't matter, the sacrifices this time were the chief priestesses of the Kyoto Shrine, and they just stood up to trigger the magic circle.

On the other side, Bai Shu and other fifteen candidate maidens lined up in a long line and entered the palace one by one.The majestic and majestic palace is grand and magnificent, with long stairs leading directly to the Yizheng Hall. The palace guards are neatly dressed in armor and standing in front of the hall, creating a solemn and solemn atmosphere.

Bai Shu was the first to see the entire Yizheng Hall.

The person who sat at the head was the Emperor, and the other dignitaries and courtiers stood neatly on the right side of the Yizheng Hall according to their official positions.On the other side is the place reserved for the fifteen candidate maidens, and the maids holding trays stand respectfully behind, and there are many treasures and offerings on them.

"Everyone is here, let's start the review, starting with the courtier who is the number one on the right." The emperor's eyes swept across the entire Yizheng Hall, and finally fell on the courtier who was the number one on the right.

The red Maple Leaf clan emblem was embroidered on the hem of the clothes. The courtier was dressed meticulously. If it wasn't for the calculation in his eyes when he bowed his head, he would have been considered an aristocratic demeanor.

"I obey." The Patriarch of the Yuan family bowed his head and replied respectfully, then turned to face the direction of the fifteen candidate witches.

The Minato family did not have a candidate for the Miko this time, which is well known among the courtiers.Among the fifteen candidate maidens, only eleven were from the aristocratic families in Kyoto, and the top three priestesses were only noble daughters from the Ping family and the Fujiwara family.The great maiden of the Inari Shrine, who was born in the area, was really unexpected.

So who will the Yuan family choose?

"The subject believes that Shiroshu, the chief priestess of the Inari Shrine, is the most suitable candidate for the chief priestess."

The Patriarch of the Yuan family actually made such a decision, and the courtiers of the family who heard this sentence looked at each other, weighing the interests of the chief maiden selection.

In addition to the three great families, there are also the Abe family and the Kamo family, but these two families have profound attainments in onmyoji, and their power in the court is far inferior to that of the Hera, Fujiwara, and Genji families.Most of the other small aristocratic families are attached to the sects of the three major aristocratic families, and they live and work independently.

The statement of the Patriarch of the Yuan family represented at least one-fifth of the selection rights.

Bai Shu was also a little surprised, but thinking about it carefully, Genji did not have any candidate priestesses selected, and the Hira and Fujiwara clans are different, the candidate priestesses of their families all have the ability to compete for the chief priestess, so instead of letting Hira and Genji surpass Genji , it is in Genji's greatest interest to choose a maiden who has no background.

But, for some reason, Bai Shu always felt a little strange.

The person in second place was Patriarch Ping, and he chose Ping Zhiji without any suspense.

It was the turn of the third courtier. The young Patriarch of the Fujiwara family looked stern, and Fujiwara Sangki's eyes were a little dark. After looking back and forth between the first three witches, he said in a cold voice, "I think that the Arakawa River God Temple Grand Priestess Ping Zhiji is the most suitable candidate for Chief Priestess."

"..." When Fujiwara Sangki said this, there was even a brief silence in the hall.Even the Patriarch of the Ping family in front of him gave him a very surprised look.

The Ping family and the Fujiwara family have no close relationship, and Fujiwara Patriarch's younger sister, Fujiwara Nana, is also the acting chief priestess of the envoy appointment. Why didn't he choose Fujiwara Nai, but Ping Zhi Ji?

Bai Shu withdrew his astonishment, seeing the startled look on Fujiwara Nana's face out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't help being curious about the choice of the Patriarch of the Fujiwara family.

The head of the Fujiwara family seems to be unaware of the decision of the head of the Fujiwara family. Why is this?As long as Fujiwara Nana gets the position of Chief Priestess, the power of their Fujiwara family will definitely become stronger... But why did Fujiwara Sangki choose Hiraichihime?

When he was puzzled, Bai Shu's eyes met those dark eyes, which were extremely sharp like the polar night before the dawn.

Seemingly seeing Bai Shu's gaze, those eyes were a little dazed, and then quickly shifted his gaze, no extra emotion could be seen on his stern face.

In this way, Ping Zhiji has one point more than Bai Shu.

Abe Masaki remembered his wife's advice, although he didn't understand why his wife didn't let him choose the chief priestess of the Inari Shrine, but if he chose the other two priestesses, because of the previous chief priestess, the relationship between Heira and Abe was not good. great.

"My subject believes that Fujiwara Nana, the chief priestess of the Luna Shrine, is more suitable for the position of chief priestess." Abe Masaki decided so.

The Kamo family had a good relationship with the Abe family. Seeing Abe Masai make a decision, he also chose Fujiwara Nana.

The remaining small families voted on their own.

In less than an hour, the courtiers' vote results had surfaced.The one with the highest number of votes was Ping Zhi Ji, followed by Fujiwara Nai and Bai Shu, followed by the witches.

However, this does not represent the final decision.

The Palace of Government Affairs returned to its original tranquility, and everyone was waiting for the decision of the emperor who was sitting at the top.

"According to the first two selections at the Kyoto Shrine, the first place was Shiroshu, the great shaman of the Inari Shrine, and recently, everyone knows about the blessings of the Inari God." The emperor's words were calm.

Bai Shu lowered his eyes and looked calm.He doesn't want to be the chief priestess, if the dream comes true, he must stop it before then.

"However, according to the ancient rituals, the original intention of the envoy's covenant is to offer sacrifices to all the gods who protect people. We haven't followed the ancient rituals for a long time. This time, the covenant of the envoys can follow the ancient system and offer sacrifices to all the gods."

After the Emperor finished speaking, there was a complete silence in the Hall of Government Affairs.

"Your Majesty, what does the Emperor mean to say that this time the envoy's covenant will adopt the ancient system and be held in the form of an ancient ritual?" The head of the Ping family came out, with a slightly hesitant expression on his face.

"Yes, obeying the covenant of the gods in the ancient rituals will surely satisfy the gods." The emperor's words were serious, and his eyes examined the people in the hall, without leaving the expressions of any subjects.

It has been hundreds of years since Kyoto changed the ancient ritual to the "covenant of the gods". The succession of the chief priestess has become a tradition, and the worship of the gods is biased.

It's like the Inari Shrine that fell before.

Thinking of this, the emperor turned his head slightly, and his eyes fell on Bai Shu who was on the far left.The royal family has the ability to predict, and has always followed their intuition. This priestess saw a disaster in the world while praying, so Kyoto must be on guard.

If the fallen gods of the shrine can come back to the gods like Inari God Oyatsu, then the disaster in Kyoto will definitely be saved.

"What the Emperor said is very true." After the initial shock, the first person who stood up to support the Emperor was the Patriarch of the Minamoto family.

Immediately afterwards, many courtiers also expressed their support for the emperor's decision along with the Patriarch of the Yuan family.

"Then, the fifteen maidens in the temple, go to the altar together to prepare for the upcoming sacrifice." The emperor said the final order with satisfaction.
