There was no starry light dotted in the dark night sky. A cool night breeze arose, blowing the long hanging curtains on the four walls of the Mingyue Pavilion to sway east and west, fluttering.
Liu Mingxi replied to the question, “I’m full.”
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone in Mingyue Pavilion seemed to have been imposed with a detent technique, and they all stared at her in a daze, and the room was quiet.
Everyone had different thoughts, and the atmosphere became a little strange and inexplicable. Even Mrs. Ming, who had been looking at Ye Lanyi’s expression, noticed something strange.
Speaking of which, Mrs. Ming Er is a person who has always been a top-notch person. She never regards people with low status, especially women whose status is not as good as hers. At this moment, she finally noticed the pair of men and women in white robes sitting diagonally opposite.
In Yuecheng, no matter men, women, young and old, rich and poor, they all wore white robes, but white robes could also distinguish between high and low.
For example, the white robe on her body was made of moon-shaped yarn produced in Tianshan Mountains, which was as white as a cicada’s wings, and was layered with seams. Even if you look at the entire Western Regions, only a few noble ladies from Ming’s family were qualified to wear this.
Not to mention the balm and gouache she used are extremely particular. Just talking about the Lantian purple jade hanging on her waist, which is half the size of a baby’s fist, and the set of seven purple jade-packed blond hairpins she used on her head, are all rare things that make people look enthusiastic and beating at a glance!
Mrs. Ming Er thought she was both rich and elegant, fresh and unique, and was particularly eye-catching. Even Ye Lanyi was wearing pink and gorgeous clothes, she could not compete with her for the limelight.
But the man… although there was nothing in their extremely ordinary clothes, the man was tall and tall, and his facial features seemed to have a natural sense of dignity. Even if he never spoke, it was not something that could be ignored and unforgettable at first sight.
At this time, his eyes were closing slightly, and his thick eyelashes were slightly lowered. Following his sight, Mrs. Ming Er saw the woman he was holding in his arms. She was a little petite and protected by him. If it weren’t for his appearance that was too eye-catching, she wouldn’t have been noticed by anyone.
Mrs. Ming Er was not too lazy to give a charity to such a lowly woman before, and turned a blind eye to her. This was a matter of course, but when she heard people constantly mentioning the Saint Maiden Hall, she had to think about it carefully.
The white robe on Liu Mingxi was just a regular fine white cotton cloth. Not only that, she didn’t even have a decent ornament on her body, and she was indescribably shabby. Ridiculously, how can such a woman be compared with the one in the Saint’s Hall?
However, her face, eyebrows, eyes, lips and nose… wouldn’t she lively and she is the Saint Lan Xi in the painting? !
The Western Regions believe in the Holy Maiden Hall. The Holy Maiden lived in Chilian City since ancient times, but she is not just the Holy Maiden Hall of Chilian City. In fact, the Holy Maiden Hall is inThe status of Zhucheng in the Western Regions has been supreme from ancient times to the present.
The saint has been passed down from generation to generation, but the girl has not been passed down from men.
They do not belong to any family in essence, so they usually do not have a surname. Even if they were young, she would not have a surname after becoming a saint.
Every saint has a sacred duty, she must be in the Western Regions, and can only be in the Western Regions. An excellent man was selected from the major families as his husband and gave birth to children together.
The baby girl has been carried into the Saint Girl’s Hall since childhood, while the baby boy will belong to the husband’s family, which has been the case since ancient times.
As for which child of the Saint’s Association choose, all this cannot be confirmed.
In terms of probability, the opportunities for children of major families in Zhucheng in the Western Regions are equal.
After thousands of years of inheritance, all major families in the Western Regions have more or less the bloodline of a saint.
Saint Lan Xi chose the Ye family in Chilian City, while her daughter, the Saint in Red, chose the Ming family.
Now Ye Guangyao, the lord of Chilian City, is the father of Ye Lanyi, who is the Saint Lanxi.
The ex-girlfriend in red who died early, the wife of Ming Huaiyang, the head of the Ming family, is Ye Guangyao’s sister.
The Ming family took advantage of the opportunity to capture the five cities in the Western Regions in one fell swoop, but unfortunately the saint in red did not care about Yuecheng or Ming family, and even did not like to stay in Chilian City.
Shortly after giving birth to the little saint, she left the Saint’s Hall in Chilian City without authorization, and ended up dying in a foreign land. Even the little saint who was about one year old had no news since then.
For a time, there were many different opinions on the cause of her death, and the world was rushing.
Some people even heard the news that the little saint was not behind the Ming family, and their biological father was the other person, which made the Ming family and the Ye family turn against each other, so the saint in red had to avoid leaving the country, and there is still no conclusion.
Eighteen years after the death of the saint in red, the portrait of the former saint Lan Xi has always been hanging in the Saint’s Hall, and it has never been replaced.
As for why the Ming family got married to the Ye family in Chilian City, it was naturally because the eldest daughter of the Ye family was the only daughter of the Ye family. She is not only Saint Lan Xi in the Saint Palace, but also the woman closest to the Saint in Red.
If the Ye family and the Ming family jointly promote it, even if Ye Lanyi cannot take over the position of saint in principle because of the little saint who is still alive, her daughter will naturally enter the Saint Hall.
However, they didn’t want to see that there were too many forces in the Ye family and the Ming family. In order to avoid disaster, they did not make a big fuss, but instead asked the Ye family to escort her to Yuecheng. The Ming family was not in a hurry to hold a wedding banquet, but usually welcomed her to Mingyueju, making the illusion that the young lady of the Ye family was just a trip to Yuecheng.
Apart from Ming Huaiyang, Ye Guangyao and their confidants, no outsiders knew their plans. Even Ye Lanyi himself was at firstBeing kept in the dark.
If nothing unexpected happens, Ye Lanyi will be the biological mother of the next saint. Therefore, even if the Ming family doesn’t like Ye Lanyi, no one will speak out against the marriage between Ming Shiqi and Ye Lanyi.
But, an accident happened under their noses!
The woman who always hides in the man’s arms half-covered, has the same appearance as the Saint Lan Xi in the Saint Hall. She was about eighteen or nineteen years old, as beautiful as peaches and plums, as bright as morning glow, as luster as bright as the emerald, and unpolished in beauty…
Everyone present was shocked.
These people also include Ye Lanyi. At first, she did not associate Liu Mingxi with the people in the paintings in the Saint’s Hall. There is a reason for that, too.
Liu Mingxi’s dress was extremely simple, and there was no point in her being even a little bit of aura. She is completely different from her grandmother, Saint Lan Xi is as noble as her natural temperament.
She has always been so high, like a person standing in the clouds, overlooking all living beings.
Although Liu Mingxi looks like a likable person, she does things as if she is not better than herself at all. Therefore, Ye Lanyi only felt that Liu Mingxi looked familiar, and she suddenly realized it until people talked about the Saint Maiden Hall.
Liu Mingxi is not just like Saint Lan Xi. If she changes into a red shirt and then wears a golden crown, she and Saint Lan Xi in the Saint Hall are like the same person!
As for Chu Chen, he had never looked at a woman other than Ye Lanyi before.
