Maybe she was nervous before the big event, so Bai Yan woke up naturally.

She sat in front of the mirror while Xiaocui and a few unknown maids helped her change the clothes she would wear today.

The priest's clothing was complicated, with a belt tied on the left and another on the right. She was played with for a long time like a doll.

"So lovely."

Bai Yan smiled at Er Xu, who sat next to her like a good child and watched them dressing her up. Looking at Er Xu who stared blankly at her in the bronze mirror, she wondered what Pei Lin would do when he saw her.

What a reaction.

Xiaocui looked in the mirror and inserted the hairpin into her bun. In the mirror, her eyebrows were like autumn water, and the flower on her forehead made her look more charming than usual, and her smile was touching.

She couldn't help but sigh, the empress is so beautiful, like a fairy descending from the earth, she still feels amazing every day when she sees her.

Bai Yan held Xiao Cui's hand and sat on the chariot. The chariot swayed forward, with many people following behind her. Apart from the dog emperor in front of her who was ruining the scenery, this was the first time for Bai Yan to see such a grand scene.

She couldn't help but become a little nervous.

They could not ride on the chariot during this section of the road and had to walk by themselves. Bai Yan followed the Dog Emperor and walked down the long aisle with kneeling officials on both sides.

She raised her eyes and saw Pei Lin standing on the altar. He was wearing white clothes and looking into the distance with a heavy gaze. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a god. She had always felt that Pei Lin had a natural temperament.

Unlike ordinary children, his life experience is still in doubt.

Bai Yan walked up step by step, and the two of them got closer and closer. The long live shouts of officials in her ears seemed to be blocked. She ignored the millions of people beside her.

Their eyes met, and Pei Lin raised the corners of his lips slightly, half-smiling as if meeting for the first time.

From now on, she has to kneel down until the priest calculates the best time to ask for the fortune. Last year it was four hours, and Bai Yan just prays that it will not be higher than this number.

She bent her knees and knelt on the cushion. The moment she knelt down, she frowned.

This mat is so soft, as if there is a lot of extra cotton stuffed in it. It is completely different from the thin layer of mat she used to practice. Especially at the knees, the mat is thicker.

After a while, she slowly opened her brows and suppressed the raised corners of her lips. It couldn't be our Mr. Pei again.

The priest started his dance. Bai Yan felt that she was not sleepy anymore, she just had to hold back her laughter. He walked around the pillar clockwise a few times and pulled out another stick.

"In an hour, it will be the time for God to send his finger."

This time Bai Yan really couldn't help it. She almost didn't laugh out loud, and the corners of her lips rose up uncontrollably.

Master Pei really went too far. He shortened the time by three hours. Seeing the serious look on the priest's face, Bai Yan couldn't help but tremble.

At this moment, the priest kept chanting incantations that she didn't understand, and the dog emperor kept twisting like a worm beside her, looking very impatient.

Bai Yan knew this was a lie. Pei Lin controlled it, so how could it be true?

But she still closed her eyes and prayed to God to hear her wish. Bless the people of Dongqi that this year will be smooth and fruitful. May she, Xiaocui, and Erxurran be healthy and happy.

If Pei Lin can be safe, she should smile more and be happy. I hope she and Pei Lin can have a good ending.

An hour was actually not long, and Bai Yan could still feel her knees. The priest stood up, handed her and the dog emperor two lottery tubes, and asked them to shake out one.

Bai Yan obediently shook out one, and the Dog Emperor also shook out one.

She couldn't understand it, but when she heard the Queen Mother on her right sucking in her breath, she felt something wasn't right.

"Your Majesty will draw the lot, and your Majesty will win the lot."

Winning the lottery? Bai Yan frowned a little confused, what is Pei Lin going to do?

Qi Yuan was used to getting such a lottery every time, but didn't his queen get the lottery last year? Could it be that he was really not the real Dragon Emperor, and he couldn't get a lottery and keep the queen? He stood up suddenly

Qi spat, "What bullshit."

"Emperor!"

The Queen Mother asked him to endure with trembling hands, and while she apologized to heaven, she did not forget to give Bai Yan a fierce look.

Bai Yan shrugged innocently and looked at him. Pei Lin sat calmly at the table. His unhurried look made her heart settle down. She was used to relying on him. In this dangerous palace,

, any expression on his face is her guide.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. The queen was disturbed by an evil thing, so she asked for the winning lottery. Fortunately, she is protected by a golden body, but I have already found the monster."

"Then why don't you take it quickly?"

"The Queen Mother, please be patient. I'm going to find you right now."

The priest didn't know what he took out of his arms. It rang as soon as he shook it, as clear as a bell. He closed his eyes and shook it in front of everyone on the stage.

This magical thing suddenly made a violent noise, and he opened his eyes suddenly and stopped in front of the Queen Mother.

Bai Yan seemed to vaguely know what was going on.

The Queen Mother's face turned pale and she couldn't believe it, "You, what are you talking about? How could the Ai family be? It's impossible."

"This, I have to try again."

The priest didn't seem to believe it, and tried again, but when he stopped at the Queen Mother, the bell rang violently.

Whispers began below. Everyone had different expressions on their faces and stretched their necks to join in the fun.

The Queen Mother suddenly fell to the ground and couldn't believe it, "No, it's impossible! This is impossible!"

"Ah," the priest suddenly realized, and approached Nanny Liu who was beside the Queen Mother, "So it's here."

The bell swayed crazily, sounding like a warning, and he flicked his sleeves. From Bai Yan's point of view, he couldn't see anything.

After he put down his hand, Grandma Liu's body suddenly burst into flames. Starting from her heart, she panicked and tried to put it out, but the fire burned quickly and quickly spread to her whole body. Every inch of her skin was surrounded by fire.

The Queen Mother screamed and ran away. Aunt Liu's heart-rending screams reached everyone's ears and echoed in the empty sky. There was a buzzing in Bai Yan's ears, and she hung her head in a daze.

He blinked his eyes again and again, and his fingers couldn't stop trembling.

"Help me, help me, ah!"

Nanny Liu opened her arms, staggered back, fell from the high platform, hit the ground with a loud noise, and her screams stopped abruptly.

Bai Yan knew why, and she closed her eyes hard. There was a burning smell, and she held her breath. This was the smell of burning human flesh.

She didn't feel happy or happy. Aunt Liu was bad, but her crime was not punishable by death. She didn't want to see Pei Lin kill someone for her.

Pei Lin's expression did not change from beginning to end, and he watched a cheap farce while stroking his hands.

"The Queen Mother, please put this obituary under your pillow. This medicine package must be mixed with three meals a day to prevent the residual filth from harming the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother was too frightened to say a word, so she could only nod her head and sigh that God has eyes.

The priest came over again and said, "I would like to ask for another lottery now."

Bai Yan twitched the corner of her mouth, wondering if there was anything else she could ask for. She threw it out casually, and she knew it was signed without even looking.

"It's a lucky draw! God bless Dong Qi, and the Queen may live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years."

The priest took the lead and knelt down to her, and the people below repeated it in unison. She turned her head and looked down.

She stood at the top of the power, listening to their congratulations and words of respect. After today, her reputation will be even better.

But she was not very happy.
