Chapter 68: On Meritorious Deeds
Feng Shanyue didn't expect that she would have a day to meet the lord of the country on the Hajj, and she couldn't help but be a little nervous, fortunately, Master Yu was there, she was also one of the heroes, and she also received the will to enter the Hajj. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Master Yu took her home, prepared clothes and jewelry for her, and taught her the etiquette of meeting the lord of the country. Feng Shanyue, Master Yu, and Yu Heng entered the Hajj to see them.
"Meet the Lord!"
"Let's be polite!" Probably because of the rain, the lord of the country seemed to be in a very happy mood, and he was also quite kind to Feng Shanyue and the others.
"Thank you, Lord of the Kingdom!"
"The three of you have made great contributions to this rebellion, and your country will reward you heavily! Say, what do you want?"
Feng Shanyue thought about it, and was about to ask the lord of the country to send her to Yindu to study, when she suddenly saw Master Yu and Yu Heng next to her kneeling, and said in her mouth: "The little minister (little girl) just did her duty as a subject, and she didn't dare to take credit!"
Feng Shanyue was full of black lines, and hurriedly knelt down, saying that he didn't dare to take credit in his mouth, but he muttered in his heart, he finally had such a good opportunity, why not?
The lord of the country smiled with satisfaction, "Although you say so, I also want to reward you well!" After speaking, he asked people to give each of them a plate of gold and jade shell coins, and announced that Master Feng Yu was the great witch who protected the country, and Yu Heng did not announce his promotion in person because he was a secret guard. However, Feng Shanyue guessed that the lord of the country would definitely give Yuheng many benefits in private. As for herself, the lord of the country promoted her to the rank of "Great Witch", and she could directly enter the Wuzhen Pavilion to do things.
"High priest, please personally issue a nameplate to the newly promoted Feng Dawu!"
"Yes!" The high priest walked towards Feng Shanyue with a bronze plaque in his hand, and Feng Shanyue hurriedly knelt down under the reminder of Master Yu, ready to accept the nameplate.
This nameplate is made of bronze, with the words "Great Witch Phoenix Fir Moon" on it, and behind it is the totem of the Fire Phoenix Kingdom, the shape of the phoenix, this nameplate is strung with a rope, and there are several strings of beads hanging below, which looks very beautiful.
The high priest smiled and put the nameplate into Feng Shanyue's hand, "It's really hard for you, Feng Dawu!"
Feng Shanyue stood up, looked up at the High Priest, and smiled happily, "Thank you, High Priest!"
The archpriest looked into her eyes for a moment, then carefully examined her face and frowned a little puzzled.
Feng Shanyue looked down at herself, then raised her head again and said, "High priest, but what's wrong with me?"
"Feng Dawu, I don't know if you mind if I touch your hand?"
"Huh, touch your hands?" Although this high priest looked like an old man, Feng Shanyue still felt strange when he wanted to touch his hands for some reason.
Yu Heng whispered beside him: "The archpriest is very good at touching bones and recognizing people, and can see your future from your bones. Just let him see it!"
Feng Shanyue had no choice but to stretch out her hand, just to let people see palmistry. The high priest touched her fingers and the root of her palm, nodded and said, "Miss Feng became a great witch at a young age, and her future is limitless!"
This is the conclusion of touching the bones? Feng Shanyue suddenly had a feeling of being fooled by the magic stick, but she was the kind of character who was wise enough to protect herself, so she only hid this in her heart and didn't say it.
After eating the imperial banquet, Feng Shanyue and the three of them withdrew from the palace, and the lord of the country called the high priest who was accompanying him, "Fuyao, you touched the hand bones of Feng Shanyue just now, but what did you find?"
The high priest nodded, "Lord Mingjian, the old minister has indeed discovered some anomalies. This phoenix fir moon has a purple face, and at first glance, it is extraordinary, and I am very puzzled in my heart, so I propose to touch the bones. After touching it, I was a little confused. ”
"How?"
"Lord, the old minister once said that you have three sons and three daughters in this life, in fact, you should have four daughters, but this daughter was born in the countryside, not the capital. Moreover, I had already calculated that she was a sign of early death, so I didn't play it. ”
"Could it be ......," the lord of the kingdom was surprised, "Could it be that this Feng Shanyue is my daughter from the countryside?"
"Yes and no. ”
"Fuyao, you're confusing me! yes, no, no, why not?"
"This daughter of yours is destined to die young, so she should be long gone, but for some reason, she is still alive in the world. The most important thing is that this daughter was originally a thin person who was the sixth parent of Xingke, but now Fuyao saw the atmosphere of the lord of the harem from her face. Therefore, Fuyao said yes and no. ”
"The lord of the harem, could it be that this Feng Shanyue is going to marry a certain lord of the country as a queen in the future?"
Fu shook his head, "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, Lord of the Kingdom!, But, Lord of the Kingdom, why did you have a daughter born in the countryside?"
The lord of the kingdom sighed, "I didn't know that there was this daughter, but after you said this, I also remembered that thirteen years ago, I had a love affair with a country woman. ”
"Oh, thirteen years ago, if the old minister remembers correctly, thirteen years ago, the lord of the country did not inherit the throne, right?"
"Yes, at that time, I was just a prince, and together with my eldest brother and third brother, I was sent by my father to the people to observe the people's feelings, and my father said that to be a good lord of the country, you must be able to truly understand the voices of the people. I went to Baisha State at that time......"
At that time, the lord of the country was still Shang Ming, the second prince of the Fire Phoenix Kingdom, although he was the eldest son born to the queen, but he was not the first son of the previous lord. The first son of the lord of the country was Shang Qing, who was born to the concubine Yu, Shang Qing was smart and clever since he was a child, and he was very popular with the lord of the country. The Shang Dynasty had not yet fully established the concept of the succession of the eldest son, so Shang Qing also had the right to inherit the throne.
The lord of the country asked the eldest son Shang Qing, the second son Shang Ming, and the third son Shang Bai to choose a direction to observe the people's feelings, come back to report to him, and propose measures to improve local governance. Whoever proposes measures that satisfies him will let him inherit the throne.
The second prince went to Baisha Prefecture, which is actually a mountainous area, where there are many peaks and mountains, dense forests, and is very poor. On this day, the second prince came to a place on a white pine mountain, but was chased by a group of men in black, and all his entourage was killed or scattered, and finally he was alone and forced to the highest part of the cliff.
The second prince and the man in black fought the last battle on the cliff, but they were outnumbered after all, and they were knocked off the cliff and rolled all the way down the hillside to the halfway point of the mountain. Fortunately, the clothes on his body became acquainted and hung him on a tree. Seeing that the cliff was so steep, the man in black thought that he had killed the second prince, so he retreated.
The second prince hung in a tree for a day and a night, and when he was dying, he was rescued by a passing hunter and brought home by him.
When he woke up again, it was two days later.
