The apex pet of the sick lady

Chapter 66 Cold, deep and introverted national teacher VS scheming paranoid prince (34)

At the same time, this sacrificial ceremony is very unusual.

This is what the maid overheard from the Empress and told Fable.

"Your Highness, from His Majesty's side, it seems that the Lord will be chosen for His Highness, and on the day of the sacrifice, the snow spirit bird will choose."

The snow spirit bird is the guardian animal of the snow country, also known as the messenger of the gods, and is highly respected by the people.

Xue Lingniao loves all beautiful things, and the lord chosen by her is absolutely worthy of His Royal Highness.

Fable's snow-white fingertips tapped on the table, "Heard it with your own ears?"

"That's right, the Empress and the Holy Monarch heard it during their discussion."

This incident was not told to Fable, it should be that the two wanted to come secretly.

The Empress and Shengjun were afraid that the fable would disagree. They wanted to have a grandson for a long time, but she had been away for 20 years, so they couldn't let her go when she came back this time.

Fable squinted his eyes and pondered for a while, then said: "Make this matter a big deal, and the whole hall should know about it."

The maid was taken aback, "Huh?"

Fable smiled, "The news of the queen's selection of the lord will not be released. What if a man misses it? Go."

After thinking about it, the maid agreed, "I'm going to inform His Majesty and Shengjun now."

When the Empress and Shengjun heard the news, they were also stunned for a while, but they didn't think much about it.

The holy king happily ordered the slaves, "Hurry up, post the imperial list! Tell the people that the princess is going to choose the lord!"
-
The eve of the sacrifice day.

A light flashed across the sky, and a young boy appeared out of thin air in the suburban forest.

The young man was in a state of embarrassment. It could be seen that the high-quality robes were a little wrinkled, his long hair was disheveled, his complexion was pale and haggard, but he still couldn't hide the beauty of his delicate face.

The forest is full of cedars, and the snow falls on the branches like velvet flowers. The air is slightly cool, mixed with the refreshing aroma of cedars, which is very pleasant.

Wei Jinyi looked at this strange place, although she was a little panicked, but more of it was eagerness and surprise.

He succeeded.

The most urgent thing is to find out where she is.

Wei Jinyi raised his footsteps and walked towards the place where the sound came from.

Coming out of the forest in the outskirts, he saw a small road in front of him. At the end of the road was a city. From a distance, he could only see a black shadow.

Wei Jinyi walked over there.

He is sure that this is the hometown she said, because there is snow everywhere, and it is spring in Linguo.

Wei Jinyi is ready to face all difficulties.

After all, this place is too big, looking for a person in a sea of ​​people is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack, but everything is easier than he imagined.

Here you don't even need to clear the paper to enter the city.

The word 'Xuedu' is written on the city gate, and the architectural style here is exactly the same as the National Teacher's Mansion.

After entering, what I saw was the prosperous scene of people coming and going.

The faces of the people here are full of smiles, the streets are clean, and there are few unsatisfactory places. At least from Wei Jinyi's point of view, compared with their imperial capital, the peaceful and friendly atmosphere here is stronger.

Here is a country without disasters and wars.

Someone even took the initiative to talk to Wei Jinyi.

Also a teenager.

"Hey, are you from another town?"

The teenager came directly to him and walked forward side by side with him.

Wei Jinyi was stunned for a moment, and said "Hum".

"Then you came so late, do you live far away? The sacrificial ceremony will start tomorrow, and if you are one day later, you will not be able to catch up."

Wei Jinyi was unfamiliar with the information he said, so he simply stopped talking.

The boy was circling in the air with a handkerchief in his hand, and the word 'fable' was embroidered on one corner of the handkerchief.

The boy didn't mind his silence either.

After walking for a while, he stopped at the entrance of an inn. The boy said, "You can stay here. It's safe and cheap. It's the most suitable place for you foreigners."

The young man sized Wei Jinyi around, with disgust in his eyes, "Clean up well, you won't be caught by the snow spirit bird with your appearance."

Wei Jinyi: ...

Can't understand a word.

After separating from the young man, Wei Jinyi went into the inn. The currency here is the same as that in Linguo, gold and silver can be used.

When Wei Jinyi came, he brought a purse with him, and there were some pieces of silver in the purse, which could still be used for a while.

After returning to the room to wash, Wei Jinyi went downstairs to order food, sat down and poured a cup of tea, looked around, and prepared to collect information here first.

Before he knew where this place was, he first heard news that seemed to be a fable.

"Tomorrow is the sacrificial ceremony, and we can see Her Royal Highness."

"Yeah, Her Royal Highness disappeared for so long, and finally came back."

"The most exciting thing is tomorrow night's event."

They talked very lively.

"Tomorrow we can still see the snow spirit bird, has any of you seen the snow spirit bird?"

"I've seen it before." The person who spoke seemed to be in his 30s, "It was more than 60 years ago. When Her Royal Highness was born, the snow spirit bird appeared once."

Afterwards, they kept talking about the Snow Bird.

Wei Jinyi didn't listen any more, frowning in thought.

The words 'disappear' and 'return' are very sensitive to Wei Jinyi, which made him very concerned.

Could it be a fable?

Wei Jinyi simply ate something to pad his stomach, and asked a kind-looking middle-aged man.

right at the door of the inn
"Uncle, why is it so lively here?"

This street should be the main street of Xuedu. The shops on both sides of the street are hung with red lanterns. The lanterns are pasted with a layer of simple hollow patterns, reflecting beautiful shadows on the ground.

Red silk was hung high on both sides, and mysterious patterns and several beautiful birds were embroidered on both ends with white thread.

It is a snow-white bird with long tail feathers and narrow eyes.

Wei Jinyi has seen it on the carved pillars of the National Teacher's Mansion.

The uncle was surprised that this beautiful boy didn't know, "Where did you come from? You don't know."

Wei Jinyi smiled shyly, "I live in the forest on the outskirts, and I don't usually see anyone. Today, I went to the city to buy some things, and I saw such a lively scene."

"That's no wonder."

It is dangerous to live in the forest in Snow Country, but it is not without such people.

The uncle said with a smile: "Her Royal Highness, who disappeared for 20 years a month ago, has returned. Your Majesty decided to change the sacrificial ceremony to tomorrow. The original intention was to let Her Royal Highness show up for us to see. It just so happened that Her Royal Highness also When it's time to get married, the sacrificial ceremony ends tomorrow, and it's time to choose a lord for Her Royal Highness, young man, I think you look good, you can give it a try..."

As the uncle said, he saw the young man's eyes turn red, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"

Wei Jinyi shook his head and choked his throat, "Uncle, is Your Royal Highness a fable?"

"Yes."

The boy burst into tears.

The uncle comforted him. He kept waving his hands and said that he was fine, but his body was shaking from crying.

Wei Jinyi cried for a while, and wiped away the tears by herself.

Anyone can be the lord of Her Royal Highness, there is no such thing as worthy or unworthy. Today's sage is also the son of the common people.

Wei Jinyi took all his money and went to the most famous clothing store in Xuedu.

When I went in, I saw that the boy sitting at the counter was the one I met when I entered the city.

There was a handkerchief on the counter, with the word 'Fable' embroidered on it, and it could be seen that the embroidery was very good.
