Chapter 86

The ancient woman's coming-of-age ceremony, also known as the Hairpin Ceremony, is a type of ancient ceremony. When a woman reaches the age of fifteen, a hair-tying ceremony is held to mark the woman's adulthood and the time when she can get married. In ancient society,

It is regarded as a major event in a woman's life. In a wealthy family, a large banquet is often held for guests and guests, in order to promote the style of the woman and further find a good man to form a couple.

The tenth day of August is an auspicious day. It is suitable for weddings, celebrations, banquets and other matters. On this day, the Queen of Xuanyuan Kingdom held a fifteen-year-old adult ceremony.

Early in the morning, at dawn, Shangguan Qi was dragged out of bed by the palace maid, started to wash and change clothes, and then boarded Fengyi and rushed to the palace where the coming-of-age ceremony was held. Since the coming-of-age ceremony was considered a relatively serious matter, so the coming-of-age ceremony was held

The palace was set up to be held outside the main hall where blessings and ancestor worship were often held in the palace. Therefore, when Shangguan Qi came down from Fengyi and saw the majestic scene of a crowd of people but no movement at all, his eyes widened in surprise.

Although she married into the royal family before she was born, and the adult etiquette omitted the introduction of the woman to find a good match, the previous tedious itinerary of changing clothes, tying her hair, kowtowing and saluting, etc., still exhausted her to death, but fortunately

All these changes and combing of hair were done by my mother. Although she was very tired, she still felt happy in her heart. But at the end, when the master of ceremonies read out the etiquette of the woman becoming an adult, the happiness in her heart was instantly covered by the numbness and pain in her legs.

She directly glared at the soles of the emcee's feet with a sullen face. Although her face seemed to be listening carefully to the teachings, anyone who knew her well could feel the suppressed anger emanating from her body.[

"It's done!"

When the master of ceremonies announced that the coming-of-age ceremony was over, not only Shangguan Qi breathed a sigh of relief, but also Xuanyuan Yeya and Shangguan Yu who were sitting next to him breathed a sigh of relief. Watching the palace maid lift her up from the soft cushion, her body moved as she walked.

After a slight shake, the fear in my heart became more serious, and I felt that those two words were the sound of nature.

This is the first time I have seen her kneel down and for such a long time. Even with soft pads to protect her knees, her legs will still feel numb and her knees will hurt after kneeling for such a long time. She frowned slightly and bit her tongue.

They bit their lips and forced themselves away from the palace maid's support. They knew how painful her legs were at this moment. At that moment, they were really worried that this little girl would just throw up her sleeves and leave, leaving them in big trouble.

But I didn't expect that when she turned around, she would still maintain a dignified and elegant smile. When her purple eyes turned to pay attention, she was even more agile and arrogant. She had the playfulness of a little girl and the arrogance of a mature woman, two temperaments.

She appeared on her body at the same time, but it didn't make people feel disgusted. Instead, they felt that she was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes away. Every move she made showed the tolerant demeanor of her mother, until she disappeared under the leadership of the palace people.

When everyone came into view, there were still several eyes staring at the direction she left for a long time, refusing to return to her senses.

As soon as she returned to Fengqi Palace, Shangguan Qi took off the hairpin she had just tied on her hair and threw it to the ground casually, followed by the layers of clothes on her body and the jewelry she was wearing. It wasn't until she walked into the bathroom that she

She stopped what she was doing, and then jumped into the pool naked. Behind her, her clothes and jewelry had already been taken off all over the floor, while Xia Yudongli and others worked tirelessly to clean them up for her one by one.

"I won't see anyone who comes to see me for a while. I want to sleep for a while. This morning is almost torturing me." I changed my clothes three times and visited different people respectively. Then I knelt down in the bright sun and listened to the teachings.

Damn it, this is not a coming-of-age ceremony? It is clearly an abuse meeting!

"Okay, Master. Let me help you get up." Yaya washed her body and then helped her stand up from the bath. She looked at her standing there as clean and wet as a newborn baby.

Chunhe hurriedly picked up the bath towel and wrapped it around her body, then carefully and gently wiped off the water drops on her body, and put on a clean white nightgown.

He wiped his hair with a towel and walked barefoot towards the inner room. But as soon as he opened the hanging gauze curtain, a figure burst into view, so he threw the towel in his hand towards the room without thinking.

He threw it away and said with a slight resentment: "Wait until I wake up. I'm almost exhausted now!"

"I know." He reached out and took the bath towel. When he saw that she had a wet head and climbed into bed to sleep, he grabbed her shoulders and let her lie on his lap for the time being. He reached out and used his inner strength to dry her hair.

.

"There will be a dinner party in the Royal Garden in the evening. I will send someone to pick you up then. Before that, just stay in the palace and rest well." She was indeed exhausted today, and even he felt tired just by looking at it.

of discomfort.

"Okay." She felt his big hands move from the top of her head to the ends of her hair little by little, and then there seemed to be water vapor steaming around her head. The wet but not greasy feeling made her feel comfortable.

She raised the corners of her lips, and before her hair was dried, she lay on his lap and fell asleep.

"Okay, you can..." Seeing the hair in his hands swaying like silk, smooth and shiny, Xuanyuan Yeya couldn't help but caress it greedily, and put his hands on her shoulders just as he wanted to

He helped her up, but when he lowered his head, he found that she had already fallen asleep tiredly on his lap. The corner of his lips curled up helplessly, and a trace of tenderness that he hadn't noticed flashed through his eyes, and then he gently lifted her up.

He lifted her up and laid her flat on the bed, covered her with a quilt, then sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her tenderly.

Four months have passed unknowingly since they first met in a hotel. Four months is not a long time, not a short time, but it has changed his view of her.

She has undergone earth-shaking changes. I have to say that time is really a wonderful thing. It can make me hate her from the beginning to become interested in her later, and now I can't help but get closer and understand her. When

When she takes off the cowardly outer layer and reveals her wit, bravery, cunning, and shamelessness, she becomes a magnet. Once the ugly outer shell fades away, she will attract countless people to get close to her magnet.

.And he clearly felt that he had been firmly attracted to her.

Seeing her lying flat on the bed, sleeping soundly with her head slightly tilted, Xuanyuan Yeya felt peaceful in her heart. Her sleeping face was very pure and well-behaved, and her fair and smooth skin was like a pearl with a bright luster and red color.

The rosy cherry lips are slightly pouted, seducing passers-by like a ripe fruit. The bridge of the nose is high, the small nose wings are trembling slightly, and the black silk on the head is messy and scattered.

The bed was still exuding the fragrance after bathing. He stretched out his hand to tuck the corner of the quilt for her. Seeing that she was sleeping sweetly, her slightly pouty lips turned into a slight curl, and Xuanyuan Yeya couldn't help but swoon.

He raised the corners of his lips, leaned down involuntarily, and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. Then he stood up slightly in panic, looking at the woman who was still sleeping soundly with a horrified expression.

Why...why did I want to kiss her without any control? I touched my lips, and it seemed that the warmth from her forehead still remained on them, with a faint sweetness. Look again.

There was a hint of confusion in her eyes.

What is this urge to kiss her?

When Shangguan Qi rubbed her hazy eyes and opened them, Yaya was about to walk in and call her. Seeing that she had woken up and sat up, she immediately leaned over excitedly, stretched out her nose and sniffed the faint scent of Shangguan Qi's body.

After smelling the aroma, he raised his head and looked at her with a smile: "Master, the dinner is about to begin. Let me help you get up."

"Well, okay." He reached out and rubbed her head, then lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and walked to the dressing table to straighten her hair. "By the way, when did the emperor leave?" She remembered her

She fell asleep on his lap without waiting for her hair to dry. What about the others? When did they leave?

"I don't know. It seems that the emperor left not long after the master fell asleep." Yaya didn't know when Shangguan Qi fell asleep. She only knew that the emperor stayed here for only half an hour. It might have been when the master fell asleep.

Just leave after that.

"Yes." He nodded, looked at himself in the mirror, and nodded with satisfaction. "Let's go, don't keep them waiting." After all, she is the real protagonist tonight.[

In the imperial garden, the palace people spent an entire afternoon decorating the tables and chairs for the dinner, and hung colorful lanterns around them. When night fell, they lit these lanterns and turned them into reflections of the stars in the sky.

At the banquet, people sat down in twos and threes. Since it had not started yet, they were whispering to each other. It was not until Xuanyuan Yeya, wearing a golden dragon robe, walked majestically and domineeringly into the imperial garden that the chaos was suppressed.

With the noise, the ministers and maidens below all glanced timidly and excitedly at Emperor Ye, who was sitting above and talking to Xuanyuan Yehan. A trace of shyness flashed in his eyes, and then he hurriedly lowered his head quietly.

He looked at his attire.

"The Queen has arrived——"

A sudden announcement interrupted the movements of everyone at the banquet. Everyone looked towards the entrance, and when they looked back, they almost lost their minds.

She is wrapped in a light pink robe and covered with a white gauze, revealing her graceful neck and clearly visible collarbones. The pleats of her skirt flow like snow and the moonlight flows to the ground, twisting and turning.

She has more than a foot, which makes her gait more graceful and soft. Three thousand blue silk hairs are tied up with a hairband, and a butterfly hairpin is inserted in her head. A strand of green silk hair hangs on her chest. A thin application of pink and white only adds color to her cheeks.

The sense of red leaves creates a pure skin as delicate and lovely as petals, and the whole person is like a butterfly flying in the wind, and like clear and transparent ice and snow. A pair of purple eyes are clear and agile, and the light is bright, like the stars in the sky accidentally falling into it, but

The looming cold light in the eyes is like the glacier under the moonlight in winter, reflecting the cold but dazzling brilliance. A slightly enchanting pink peony is painted on the forehead, and the phoenix eyes turn around, showing infinite charm.

.

She seemed pure, seemed cold, and seemed enchanting. The combination of these three temperaments did not make everyone feel that she was neither fish nor fowl. On the contrary, they felt that she might be like that. Seeing her step by step, she seemed to be dancing, and her long skirt followed her steps.

Dragging behind her, there was a faint smile on the corners of her lips, as dignified as a peony, as elegant as a chrysanthemum, with a gentle and auspicious aura surrounding her. It was as if the mysterious goddess of the nine heavens came to the world, and the colorful phoenix descended, making those who were still holding the

The woman who hoped to marry into the royal family instantly lost her confidence and turned around to wipe away her daughter's tears. The concubines sitting on the concubine table at the head of the emperor gritted their silver teeth one by one with jealous looks on their faces.

』.

"Qi'er is here, take a seat." Xuanyuan Yeya was sitting on the dragon chair. Looking at Shangguan Qi walking towards him, she felt inexplicably excited. Before she could climb the stairs, she got up and walked down.

Stretch out your hand to greet her.

"Yes." He was stunned for a moment, then he smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to put it in his big palm. Then the two of them helped each other towards the steps and took their seats.

"The dinner begins!" Seeing that the emperor and queen had all taken their seats, the kid on the side stepped forward and shouted to announce the start of tonight's dinner.

The first item is a gift.

From the natural jade malachite from Nanyin Kingdom to the Starfish Tears, a centuries-old treasure necklace from Aocang Kingdom, to the rare and rare treasures enshrined by various tribes, Shangguan Qi was dumbfounded when he saw everything. He wondered why good things existed in ancient times? This

For a moment, she finally understood why those tomb robbers wanted to explore the tombs of the dead even under huge psychological pressure. Each of these treasures was enough to shock people's attention and make huge profits!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Queen. This is a treasure dedicated by our tribe in the west." A tall and strong man with a rough appearance walked out of the guest seat, bowed to the two people above him, and then turned sideways to let him come.

The messenger brought a big box over.

As soon as they saw the big box, everyone became interested one after another, whispering to each other and guessing what was in it, and why such a big box was used. A trace of doubt flashed in Xuanyuan Yeya's eyes, and he glanced at the box.

He picked up the box, then turned to look at Shangguan Qi beside him.

"You said-" Xuanyuan Yeya wanted to ask Shangguan Qi what was inside, but when he turned his head, he was shocked. Because he didn't see a trace of interest in Shangguan Qi's eyes, but instead shone with a cold look.

The strong body of the Western Messenger was reflected in the shining purple eyes.

"What's wrong?" Xuanyuan Yeya's eyes flashed with confusion, but he seemed to understand something in an instant, so the interest in his eyes was gradually covered with coldness. He looked at the somewhat smug Western envoy below and raised the corners of his lips.

"What? Aren't the Emperor and the Queen interested? Don't you want to know what's inside?" The smug expression on the western tribe's envoy's face calmed down slightly when he saw the two people on the upper left. Seeing their expressions

Calm and calm, with traceless eyes, he couldn't help but ask.

"Not interested, because you will open it sooner or later." Listening to his slightly unrestrained tone, Shangguan Qi curved his lips and smiled slowly, opening his red lips, and the pride on the Western Envoy's face instantly disappeared.

"Haha, that's what the Queen said." The western envoy smiled awkwardly, then turned around and motioned for the people accompanying him to open the box, but a haze flashed in his eyes. If you laugh now, you will cry in a moment!

The box was opened, and everyone was shocked. What was revealed inside was not a precious stone, but a sexy girl wearing voluptuous and revealing clothes!

She is covered in red clothes, and under her slender jade neck, she has a breast as thick as white jade, which is half covered and half covered. Her plain waist is tied up, but it is not full, and a pair of slender and well-proportioned legs are "naked" and "exposed".

, even the beautiful lotus feet are silently enchanting, sending out a seductive invitation. Her hair is black and wavy, her eyes are painted with black eye shadow, and her lips are plump and plump, very seductive.
