Game World: Am I a toy of the system?

The New Year during the auspicious period begins at midnight.

The lights inside and outside Hongcheng were brightly lit, and people who were paying tribute to their ancestors lined up and worshipped at the city's permitted sacrificial sites.

It was even worse in the royal palace, where the historian, temple officials and other officials in charge of sacrifices, as well as the descendants of the Yao family, all gathered together.

They can still sleep or take a nap, but the servants and guards in the palace basically have to stay up all night.

Before dawn, the sacrificial ceremony was prepared under the organization of the temple officials.

On the day of sacrifice, almost everyone, from the emperor to the common people, had to participate according to their rank and the purpose of the sacrifice.

The first thing to do was to worship the ancestors of mankind, the ancestors of the Yao family, and the ancient sages.

Although Yao Shan is the king, at this time, he also has to follow dozens of clan elders.

Behind Yao Shan is his eldest son Yao Jun, and then his younger brothers and sisters.

After the ancestor worship, it was already bright in the sky. Everyone left in an orderly manner and took the time to eat and replenish their energy.

Next there are sacrifices to heaven, gods and spring. Most people cannot stand without eating, and it must be completed within one day. All direct descendants of the Yao family, the national surname, must participate!

It was during this period that Chen Xi, who was suffering from back pain, arrived at the gate of the palace in a carriage. Chen Zhan showed Yao Jun's token and was allowed to enter on foot.

Fortunately, Yao Jun was waiting on the other side of the palace gate. As soon as Chen Xi came in, he was picked up by him.

As soon as Chen Xi saw him, he punched him in shame and anger, and cursed in a low voice: "Asshole!"

Yao Jun curled his lips and whispered, "Have you eaten?"

There are a lot of people in the palace today. Chen Xi would come here occasionally in the past few months.

Sometimes they discuss the use and development of bombs, but most of the time they come to discuss girl group matters with the Queen, and occasionally they attend a banquet.

Chen Xi is now a celebrity in Hongcheng. At the moment, he is being held by Yao Jun and is so shy that he dares not see anyone.

So she hurriedly said, "I've eaten, put me down now!"

Yao Jun said affirmatively: "You are tired."

These were clearly words of concern, but to Chen Xi's ears, he sounded so hateful.

Thinking of what happened last night, Chen Xi raised her little hand and hit him again.

When Chen Xi woke up today, he felt that his willow-like waist seemed to be broken. He was so tired that he didn't even want to move a finger.

She still called Xiao Luo in to help her get up and dress herself, and it was Xiao Luo who fed her mouthful by mouthful in the morning and evening.

Yao Jun must have received the report from Chen Zhan and others, so he was waiting for me in front of the palace gate.

Thinking of this, Chen Xi felt sweet in his heart.

The two of them paraded through the city so blatantly that everyone looked at them strangely.

There was surprise and disbelief in these looks. After knowing each other for a few months, although these people admitted that Chen Xi was very capable, they still did not think that Yao Jun had a good relationship with her and perhaps he was just using her.

There were also eyes filled with envy and jealousy. Most of these people were noble women in Hongcheng, and the object of their jealousy was naturally Chen Xi.

Even though Yao Jun is disfigured now, in the hearts of these women, he is still the best in the world.

Yao Jun ignored them and walked into the warm hall carrying Chen Xi.

Then, under the watchful eyes of many clan elders, uncles, and ministers of Yao State, he walked up to the platform and sat down behind the desk to the left of the queen.

Ji Shaorong had just cooked a piece of venison, and when she saw this scene, she didn't even notice that the venison fell from the chopsticks back into the pot.

Even the queen is like this, not to mention others.

Even the king felt a little embarrassed and picked up the rice porridge on the table to cover up. Anyway, he couldn't control this son, so whoever wanted to speak could speak.

So bold!

Although Daji is free to fall in love, there are not many nobles who dare to do so, but they are rare.

The most excited people in the warm hall would be the historians. They stood in the corner, took out carving knives and bamboo slips, or cloth from their arms and began to write furiously.

One day of a certain year, the eldest prince of Yao country, Gongzi Jun, entered the warm palace holding the concubine girl of Chen country named Chen, and then blah blah.

In the past, anyone who would do such a thing was definitely a tyrant.

But Gongzi Jun is different. His achievements are so dazzling, and Chen Xi himself is also very capable.

In the writings of the historians, this incident was just treated as an interesting anecdote. There was no condemnation or criticism, but it was simply recorded truthfully.

However, Yao Jun didn't care about this at all. He sat behind the desk, continuing to chat and laugh with the person in his arms, ignoring everyone else.

The time for the sacrifice is calculated by a special person, and it will be carried out as scheduled regardless of whether everyone has eaten or not. Everyone takes advantage of the free time to eat.

Although everyone in the warm hall kept looking at Yao Jun and Chen Xi on the stage, they kept eating.

Probably because he was socially dead, Chen Xi had given up on treatment and just curled up in Yao Jun's arms pretending to be dead. Let him do whatever he wants.

But Yao Jun couldn't hold her all the time, such as during sacrifices.

Fortunately, she was with Yao Jun, and they were at the front of the team.

But the frequent glances from behind made her feel like a thorn in her back.

Starting from midnight, four New Year sacrificial activities lasted the entire day until dark.

Although Chen Xi only participated in the Spring Festival and Heaven Festival, he was exhausted after they were over.

Each sacrifice lasts a long time, and the rituals are extremely complicated and solemn, and there is no room for any mistakes.

In this kind of situation where everyone was being cautious, Chen Xi couldn't help but become nervous.

After Chen Xi attended the last sacrificial ceremony, Yao Jun took advantage of the gap and had someone bring a horse to take her back to the house.

At Chen Xi's request, Yao Jun left Chen Xi in the care of Yue Si and Xiao Luo, and rode back to the palace.

With the help of Yue Si, Xiao Luo, Xiao Yi and several maids, Chen Xi finally returned to the warm bedroom.

The moment he lay down on the bed, Chen Xi finally relaxed.

"I'm exhausted!"

Yue Si sat on the bed and looked at her with amusement: "Sister, you should exercise."

Chen Xi shook his head weakly: "Let's talk about it later. I'm too tired now and don't want to talk."

Xiao Luo brought a bowl of steaming vegetable porridge: "Miss, drink some porridge to warm your body and go to sleep."

Yue Si helped Chen Xi sit up on the bed. Xiao Luo fed him a few mouthfuls. Chen Xi felt that he had regained strength, so he took the wooden spoon and started eating in big mouthfuls.

After eating a bowl of porridge and drinking some hot water, although Chen Xi still felt very tired, it was much better than before.

After Chen Xi lay down again, Yue Si stood up and said, "Sister, have a good rest. I'm going to make dumplings with Grandpa Chen. I'll call you when it gets dark."

After drinking the hot porridge and covering himself with thick bedding, there was a charcoal basin lit in the room. The warm environment made Chen Xi feel sleepy.

"Well, when I wake up, I'll go make dumplings with you guys."

Chen Xi said this weakly, as if he was about to fall asleep the next moment.

Yue Si shook her head with amusement, then turned and left.

Xiao Luo got up and walked her out, then closed the door, moved a small stool to sit beside the bed, and dozed off with her little head in her hands.

Xiao Luo hasn't gotten much sleep since last night.

Although Chen Xi has many people serving her now, Xiao Luo is the only one she can trust.

Although she was a little tired, Xiao Luo was very happy in her heart. To gain such trust from Chen Xi was what she pursued in her life.

For a maidservant to be able to do what Xiao Luo has done is the limit. If she goes any further, the only option left is to be taken into the room and become a concubine.

The sacrifice did not end until dark, and then a New Year's Eve dinner was held in the palace.

Yao Jun was thinking about the little guy, so he drank a few glasses of wine with his parents and elders and then left.

Ji Shaorong looked at her eldest son's back as he left, and said to Yao Shan with a smile, "You're getting married soon, right?"

A smile also appeared on Yao Shan's elegant face: "Well, when he gets married, this position should be handed over to him."

Then he looked at his wife beside him, took her hand, and said affectionately: "Then we can relax and enjoy ourselves."

Ji Shaorong blushed: "Pay attention to the occasion."

Yao Shan said nonchalantly: "With Jun'er in front of us, what are we doing?"

Ji Shaorong smiled and said, "That's true."

"Ha ha!"

The couple looked at each other and laughed.
