Chapter Twenty-Six: The Number of Heavenly Extensions
After breakfast the next day, the five consuls accompanied by Xitu Xiao came to the priest's courtyard, and the five adults were pale, and they saw Ji Buyun one by one.
The little priest guarding the door said that the high priest and others had not come down on the hanging peak, and while waiting for the briefing, Uncle Ji Buyun pulled him aside and quietly asked him what he thought about the wedding, and Ji Buyun said that it was all up to his uncle.
Lord Buyun said: "Okay, I have discussed with Ji Cheng, as long as the queen agrees, we will have the grandest and most luxurious wedding in the history of the Highlanders, and money will never be a problem for your uncle." ”
He added: "You are fortunate enough to marry the noble queen of the highlands, and I have an account for your deceased parents." I had planned to let you succeed me in the Senate, but now that the Queen is about to ascend the throne, you don't need it. ”
While he was talking, the little priest announced, "The high priest has summoned." ”
The five consuls brought an elegant Central Plains man into the priesthood, and Xitu Xiaoshen mysteriously told Ji Buyun that it was a master craftsman invited by Ji Cheng, who was the one who commanded the construction of the house.
Ji Buyun accompanied Xituxiao in the barracks, and after retreating, Xituxiao said that he returned to the Senate yesterday and reported the situation truthfully to the five-person government. ”
Everyone understands that in this critical period, the high priest is really going to have something wrong, and no one can afford this responsibility, and the five-person ruling party has been meeting and discussing until late at night, and finally decided to make every effort to strengthen the protection of the priesthood, and set up a garrison of the Janissary Priesthood, with a strength of 1,800 people, which is twice as much as the garrison of the Senate, and another 1,000 Praetorian Guards were transferred to form a rune weapon battalion, stationed in the Priests' Courtyard barracks, under the unified command of Ji Buyun, and at the same time increased the number of 3,000 for the Praetorian Guard.
Xituxiao also secretly told Ji Buyun that the five people in power were going to award Ji Buyun the title of honorary patriarch during the plenary session of the Senate on the grounds that Ji Buyun, the prince of the Central Plains Empire, was desperate to protect the safety of the high priest.
Ji Buyun said with emotion: "I thought that I, a mixed-race child, would not be able to be a patriarch in my life, but I didn't expect to save my wife once and become an honorary patriarch." ”
Xitu said: "The high priest is about to ascend the throne, this is not only an oracle, but also reflects the will of the people, except for your uncle, all of the five people in power are now thinking about how to work hard in front of the high priest, and strive to find a good position in the court in the future, promote you hard, desperately create contact opportunities for you and the high priest, arrange your marriage, and make you satisfied, which is the best way to perform." ”
He also said: "Yesterday I also saw that the high priest is really obedient to you, so noble status in front of everyone personally support you, I don't say, brother will rely on you to carry and take care of your brother in the future." ”
Ji Buyun said: "The rune weapon battalion is not trivial, I may not be able to handle this position." ”
Xitu Xiao understood at that time and said: "Ao Xian was born in the Praetorian Guard, and when I go back, I will propose to the five people in power, and he will be in charge of the rune weapon battalion, so that you can spend more time with the future queen." ”
While the two were talking, a Praetorian Guard came in and said that the high priest and the five consuls had summoned Ji Buyun.
It was still the Priestess of Woyue who came to report, and Ji Buyun followed her to the Pink Palace.
On both sides of the log table, on one side stood the high priest and the priest of the palm wine, the pure lake, and the jade sacrifice, and on the other side stood the five consuls and the Central Plains man, who were looking around a drawing.
Seeing him come in, the high priest didn't wait for his greetings, and directly beckoned: "Excuse me, Ji Buyun, come and see if it is inappropriate to build such a combination." ”
This move made the faces of the four ruling lords except Lord Buyun change color, which is not in line with the etiquette of the highlands at all, and it can only be said that the high priest now completely puts himself in the position of Ji Buyun's wife.
Ji Buyun didn't dare to really excuse himself, and respectfully extended his greetings to the high priest and the five ruling lords.
The five ruling lords, especially Buyun, looked approving.
On the table is an architectural plan, divided into four parts, in the center is a rectangular complex of more than a dozen palaces and three gardens, large and small, surrounded by tall walls with towers, two ordinary barracks on the left and right, and a large barracks with a school field in the back.
Lord Nenokoshi pointed to the drawings and introduced: "The central part will temporarily build three palaces and a garden as the queen's temporary dormitory, and after the queen officially ascends the throne, other palaces will be built as the royal palace; ”
The Priest of the Pure Lake asked, "There is only a little more than a month, is it too late?"
The Nakahara said: "These buildings are all made of bamboo and wood, as long as there are enough people, there will be time." ”
He added: "My ancestors are all craftsmen, and they have the most experience in construction. ”
The high priest glanced at Ji Buyun, and when he saw him nodding, he nodded and said, "Okay, the rest of the matter will be discussed with you by the priest in charge of the wine, the five adults have worked hard." ”
On behalf of the five people in power, Lord Nezhiyue said: "It is our duty to share the queen's worries. ”
These people now put themselves completely in the position of courtiers.
The high priest got up to leave, and Ji Buyun also took the opportunity to leave.
In the evening, when the Priest of Woyue took him to meet the High Priest, the High Priest was sitting by the lake with Nan Wan'er enjoying the lake view.
As soon as Nan Wan'er saw him, she immediately jumped over and said, "Little brother, people heard that you have been promoted again, should you invite them to have a good meal and congratulate you?"
Ji Buyun said with a smile: "Isn't it the same to show Duo'er the door again, what is there to congratulate?"
Nan Wan'er said with a straight face: "Little brother, if you want to invite people to have a good meal, they will tell you how to arrange the rune weapon array, if your little soldiers learn this, they will not be as useless as yesterday." ”
Ji Buyun glanced at the high priest, saw that she nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, what do you want to eat?"
Nan Wan'er tilted her head and said, "This person has to think about it." ”
The high priest interjected: "Ji Buyun's barbecue is good. ”
Nan Wan'er said, "I just ate his master's roast two days ago, sister, is there anything else delicious?"
Highlanders advocate simplicity and are very unparticular about eating, and their daily diet is basically boiled vegetables and meat in plain water, since Ji Buyun has eaten something made by ants, he can't wait to pull out his uncle's cook and bury him alive.
Thinking of this section, he suddenly remembered Ji Cheng and said, "The things in the Central Plains Pavilion are delicious, do you want to eat them?"
In fact, he had heard from ants that the food of the Central Plains Empire had a long reputation, and although he had a formal meal at the Central Plains Pavilion on the night he came back, he was excited and drank at that time, and he didn't taste anything at all. The princess stayed in the Central Plains Pavilion for two days, but as soon as she arrived, Ji Cheng's tortured face was like earth, and Ji Cheng couldn't wait for her to move out overnight, how could it be possible to make food for her.
Nan Wan'er pouted and said, "I don't want to, your housekeeper is too hateful, besides, people want to eat with my sister." ”
Ji Buyunxin said, in such a sacred place as the Priest's Courtyard, it is possible to feast on you to eat and drink here. In my heart, I remembered the rune weapon array she said, and it was not good to refuse directly.
"Then I'll ask the cook to make a few things for you to taste, and if you like it, we'll make it again." ”
Nan Wan'er reluctantly agreed.
The high priest told him that the priest had agreed with the five consuls to build three palaces at the same time as their wedding place in the name of building a garrison barracks for the priests' court, and that work would begin the day after tomorrow.
There was such a big incident in the priesthood yesterday, and it was the wedding of the future queen of the highlands, and no one dared to say anything no matter how much selfishness was involved in the construction of the barracks.
With Nan Wan'er in the middle, the two of them had no chance to tell me and me, Ji Buyun told the high priest what his uncle meant, and the high priest said that everything was arranged by the five people.
After chatting with them for a while, Ji Buyun wanted to get up and say goodbye.
Nan Wan'er grabbed him and said, "Are people hindering you here, tell you, little brother, people are doing it on purpose, if you don't invite people to eat delicious food, people will come to make trouble with you every day." ”
After speaking, he crossed his hands on his hips, tilted his head and looked at Ji Buyun with a smile.
Ji Buyun couldn't cry or laugh.
The high priest came out and said, "Wan'er, don't you want to see the creation flower bloom? ”
Nan Wan'er immediately hugged his arm and said, "Little brother, people are joking with you, don't be angry, don't be angry." ”
"Little brother is the best for others, go, go, go and see the flowers. ”
After speaking, he pulled Ji Buyun and went straight to the high priest's bedroom.
The princess held her breath and watched in amazement as the Creation Flower slowly opened to thirty-five at a speed visible to the naked eye, and sighed: "Sister Flower God also gave someone a pot of Creation Flowers, but none of them have bloomed until now. ”
Turning his head and seeing the high priest, he hurriedly said, "Sister, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, people didn't mean to take advantage of you." ”
Ji Buyun knew that Nan Wan'er was an elf princess, and it was not an exaggeration to call the flower god a sister, but the flower god of Tongtianyuan was the ancestor of the Wo royal family, and this sentence should not be said in front of the high priest.
The high priest didn't care, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Wan'er, are you very familiar with her?"
Nan Wan'er said: "I don't know each other very well, she and her eldest sister are Jinlan sisters, and when they were in the year of the golden hairpin, she made an exception and gave someone a pot of creation flowers." ”
When a woman in the world reaches the age of twelve, she has to tie up her hair with something like a hairpin, so the age of twelve is also called "the year of the golden hairpin" or "the year of the golden hairpin".
The high priest said, "Don't worry, Wan'er, when you are about to get married, the flowers will bloom." ”
Nan Wan'er sighed and said, "This flower is also called the marriage flower, only women who are destined can raise it, Sister Duo'er, do you know? They said that after this flower is full, it is really wonderful." ”
Ji Buyun had heard the queen say that the creation flower was infinitely useful, and saw her put the flower in her palm and refine the purple gold sword with the flower, knowing that what Nan Wan'er said was true, and on this occasion, he was naturally inconvenient to talk about it.
The high priest said: "I am the only one in the world who has a pot of creation flowers, and I have only read some books about it, and I don't know exactly what it is used for. ”
Nan Wan'er glanced at Ji Buyun, her face turned red, and she whispered to the high priest: "This flower, this flower, you, you get married, and after the cave house, you can become one with you." ”
It turns out that the princess chatters no matter how much she chats, and she is also an untrained girl, and she will still be embarrassed when it comes to the cave room or something.
Hearing this, the high priest's face was even redder than hers, and the red was so delicate that it was delicate.
Ji Buyun was afraid that Nan Wan'er would see something, so he hurriedly asked, "What's the use?"
Nan Wan'er said: "Forty-nine flowers, the number of Tianyan, the avenue is fifty, the Tianyan is forty-nine, the flower is combined, the person is one, and the lack of the sky can be used to operate." ”
Ji Buyun smiled: "What are you talking about? I didn't understand a word, did you copy it from the book?"
Nan Wan'er said seriously: "Wrong, it was the god of flowers who told people, when she gave flowers to others, they had to memorize them, and now it doesn't matter if you don't understand, you will naturally understand after the flowers bloom." ”
Then he smiled and said, "Haha, people think she doesn't understand what this means." ”
"The avenue is fifty, the sky is forty-nine, the flower is combined, and the person is one. The high priest frowned, and muttered this sentence over and over again, as if muttering to himself.
Nan Wan'er called her "sister".
The high priest suddenly said, "I seem to understand something, Ji Buyun, just like your purple gold sword." ”
Ji Buyun said: "The intention moves with the heart, and the flower moves with the heart." ”
The high priest said, "Well, that's what it means, I want to go to the study to have a look." ”
Nan Wan'er said: "What's the hurry, sister, you haven't yet, you haven't had a cave yet?"
The high priest's face turned red again.
Seeing that there were some things that could not be hidden, Ji Buyun didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurriedly got up to say goodbye.
After returning to the barracks, he called the Ji brothers over and asked them how the chefs in the Central Plains Pavilion were and what dishes they had.
Ji Fan replied: "The craftsmanship is okay, except for some exquisite side dishes, the dim sum is also good." ”
Ji Buyun instructed: "You go and ask him to cook six side dishes tomorrow morning, and then make a few good snacks, and bring them back before noon." ”
The next day near noon, Ji Fan came back with a large food box, Ji Buyun personally sent the food box to the priest's courtyard, the priest guarding the door had already known him, and quickly arranged for someone to send the food box to the high priest.
After a while, a little priest came and said that he would send six more dishes in the evening, and there would be more dim sum, and it was obvious that the foodie princess was addicted to it.
In the evening, the priest of Woyue came, and as soon as Ji Fan came back with the food box, she took Ji Buyun into the priest's courtyard together.
The High Priest and the fidgeting Nan Wan'er were waiting for him in the garden pavilion behind the Pink Palace.
As soon as Nan Wan'er saw him come in with the food box, she couldn't wait to open the food box, grabbed the rice basket, Hu cake and other snacks and stuffed them into her small mouth, and complained vaguely while stuffing: "Little brother, didn't you bring more snacks? ”
The demeanor of a foodie is fully revealed.
The high priest watched Nan Wan'er eat with a smile, and said to Ji Buyun, "Your eldest brother is coming tonight, right? I'll have someone bring you the wine later." ”
Nan Wan'er said while eating: "Sister, I can't send it, and Uncle Bing didn't dare to drink it if I gave it to others, so I was drunk by that Ying Qingyi." ”
She has always been not afraid of heaven and earth, but when she first saw Ying Qingyi, she was shocked by her, it was a matter of the princess's face, and she was naturally dissatisfied with her.
Ji Buyun ignored her and said to the high priest, "Okay, thank you, Duo'er." ”
The high priest gently combed his hair that was tossed by the evening breeze, bowed his head and said shyly, "You don't have to be polite with me." ”
Nan Wan'er rolled her eyes and said, "Sister, that Ying Qingyi said that the little brother was the person he was destined to do, and people heard it with their own ears." ”
The high priest said, "She's talking about the dragon man!"
Nan Wan'er put down her snack and said, "I don't know, anyway, people see that she has bad intentions towards her little brother, sister, little brother is so good-looking, don't you worry, people are not at ease, why don't we go to see Uncle Bing with my little brother." ”
The high priest shook his head and said, "No, I can't go. ”
The high priest was the most noble among the highlanders, and there were strict restrictions on everything he said and did, and he could see whoever he wanted.
Nan Wan'er encouraged: "Sister, don't you want to see that Ying Qingyi? Anyway, people are very angry when they look at her and her little brother." It's okay, sister, if you're afraid of others seeing, you can dress up as a maid and sneak out. ”
This sentence clearly touched the high priest somewhat.
Ji Buyun saw that the high priest had a look of inquiry, and said, "The barracks are inconvenient, we can go to the Central Plains Pavilion and wait for them." ”
Bingyi was born with a dragon and vast magical powers, Ying Qingyi and Ji Buyun have the same mind, no matter where Ji Buyun is, it is a matter of thought between the two of them to find him.
Nan Wan'er encouraged the high priest a few more words, and the high priest finally nodded in agreement.
Ji Buyun returned to the barracks, and first arranged for Ji Fan to inform Ji Cheng: The distinguished guests are coming, Ji Buyun wants to go to the Central Plains Hotel to greet him, please ask Ji Cheng to clean up the courtyard, and then arrange for the kitchen to prepare a table of banquets.
Then twenty Praetorian Guards were selected and ordered to prepare their horses and wait.
After a while, the little priest led Nan Wan'er and the high priest who wore a veil and dressed up as her maid, Jinghu, and Woyue priests to the barracks.
A few people got on the horse and came all the way to Haotian City under the escort of the guards.
After entering the city, several people slowed down their horses and slowly enjoyed the night view of Haotian City, and the Praetorian Guards scattered around to follow the guards.
The high priest came to Ji Buyun's side, changed his usual quietness, and pointed to the brightly lit wine shops on the street like a girl next door who entered the city for the first time, not asking this or asking that, full of interest, and his eyes were full of curiosity.
Ji Buyun sighed in his heart: The high priest is restricted by his identity, and he lives in the priest's court all the year round, and he comes to Haotian City every year during the plenary meeting of the Senate, and he is also in the limelight, and he wants to walk around the street like ordinary people, it is impossible. After all, she is a young woman, no matter how stable and quiet she is, she will have the affection of ordinary people.
Thinking about it in this way, I felt more and more that I should cherish and love the high priest.
Coming to the Central Plains Hotel, Ji Cheng was greeting him at the door, and when he saw Nan Wan'er, he was taken aback at first, and then enthusiastically led everyone to the living room of the other courtyard, where various fruits and snacks had been placed on the table, Ji Cheng watched the maid burn sandalwood and serve hot tea, and asked Ji Buyun respectfully: "What else does the son command." ”
Ji Buyun bowed his hand and was polite to Ji Cheng, and Ji Cheng went down to wait.
The high priest looked at the carved beams and paintings in the room, and asked Ji Buyun, "Are all the buildings of the Central Plains Empire like this?"
Ji Buyun understood that she was concerned about the style of the marriage room, and said: "It's basically like this, if you don't like it, you can ask them to change it." ”
The high priest said, "No, just have more white lotus." ”
