Chapter 29: White Lies

The wise man stood outside the temple gate with his head bowed, contemplating what he would say to the mistress later.

The cave room spends candle nights, and the moment of ecstasy is worth a thousand gold, but the emperor allows the master mother to be alone in the lonely sky, even if you are the supreme of the heavenly domain, it is reasonable to owe it.

Fortunately, there were guards and protectors who went with him, and under the urging of the two of them, the emperor could not delay too long, at most three or five days, and he would be back, the wise man's gray eyebrows curled upwards - as long as the emperor's people stayed in the palace, it would be easy to do, and then the three of us worked together to push the emperor to the Qinse Palace, and good things would fall into place, he stroked his beard hanging down his chest, and laughed a few timesβ€”but it was delayed for a few days, and it didn't hurt.

There was a slight sound of footsteps moving under the white jade platform, and he immediately gathered his mind and looked up at the sun, it was time for the master mother to come to the temple to worship the Holy Ancestor.

He walked quickly to the steps, bowed down to greet him, and saw eight palace ladies leading a woman dressed in white like snow, and Nana walked up the steps.

Gong E did not dare to approach the temple, and after saluting Mei'er on the steps, she retreated.

The wise man is full of joy, the posture of the master mother is graceful and graceful, and when she moves, it seems that there is a faint glow in the surroundings, if it is not for the colorful phoenix crown to cover her face, can not peep, it must be a peerless beauty who captivates the country and the city.

The girl chosen by Fengguan will be the best in the heavenly realm, and this is absolutely wrong.

Mei'er stood on the white jade platform without saying a word, this kiss was a little confused, although she slept peacefully last night, she always felt that she was not very stable, the destined husband was not an ordinary man, and it was unknown what kind of situation she would be when she got along in the future.

The wise man took a step forward, bowed, and said in a warm voice: "The wise man sees the master mother." ”

Mei'er looked through the flickering bead curtain, and there was an old man in a blue robe with a white beard standing in front of her, with a smile that was very kind and kind.

She recognized that this person was one of the three elders who were married yesterday, and many of the ceremonies were completed under his guidance, it seemed that this old man had a great position in the Heavenly Palace, she bowed her head and asked in a low voice: "Old man, what advice do you have?" ”

The wise man looked peaceful and smiled: "Today is the first time that the master mother sacrifices to the Holy Ancestor, please follow the old slave in." ”

Mei'er responded in a low voice, with the wise man into the temple, after cleaning his hands, he took the sandalwood handed by the wise man, and respectfully bowed three times and bowed to the jade statue of the holy ancestor sitting on the altar.

After the sacrifice was completed, Mei'er stood up and looked at the wise man, she didn't know the rules in the Heavenly Palace, she had also read some idle books about wedding ceremonies in the Ice and Snow Mountain Villa in the past, and knew that the first sacrifice after marriage needed to be completed by the husband and wife, but she pursed her lips slightly, from last night to now, the emperor didn't seem to have appeared.

The wise man covered his nose and coughed a few times, there must be an explanation for this.

He asked Mei'er to sit down, offered fragrant tea, and said with a smile: "The emperor instructed the old slave to tell the master's mother, yesterday the dragon suddenly had a warning, and the land of the demon clan changed, so he left the palace overnight to inspect, the situation was urgent, and before he could say goodbye to the master's mother, the emperor said that he was very sorry, and the master's mother did not need to worry." ”

Mei'er listened, and was immediately relieved, this husband went quite agreeable, it was a blind marriage and dumb marriage, so it was a good thing to leave some buffer space for both parties, she held the steaming white jade teacup, and replied with a smile: "The old gentleman is too worried, and the emperor should focus on big things." ”

Thinking of the golden light that burst out of the eyes of the Shenlong stone carving and the thrilling hallucinations that followed when she passed by the white jade platform yesterday, she couldn't help but ask, "What is the Shenlong warning?" The stone dragon that soared into the air on the white jade platform yesterday has something to do with it? ”

The wise man's calm face instantly rolled into waves, he hesitated for a while, and Fang replied softly: "This matter is extremely wide-ranging, and in the future, the master mother can personally consult the emperor." ”

Mei'er was stunned for a moment, looking at the wise man's gloomy face, although she felt suspicious in her heart, it was inconvenient to ask further, so she hummed casually.

The wise man heard the master's mother's tone calm, and there was no resentment, and the previous anxiety suddenly disappeared, and said with a smile: "In the past few days, if the master mother feels bored, she can play in the palace at will, although the old slave is not talented, she can also act as a guide for the master mother." ”

Mei'er smiled indifferently and said, "That's very good, I can walk around the palace at will, right?" But what are the taboos? ”

The wise man's eyebrows were crooked, and he said with a smile: "The Heavenly Palace is the home of the master mother, the master mother loves as much as she wants, and the master mother can move around everywhere in the palace, but the Tianqian Palace is a forbidden place in the palace and cannot be set foot in." ”

Mei'er silently recited "Tiangong is the home of the master's mother, how the mother's love is", she felt a little sad in her heart, home, it turns out that this place has become my home, who is wishful thinking to arrange all this? And I can only passively accept this "incomparable glory and dignity"?

She suppressed the gloom surging and asked casually, "What is the Tianqian Palace?" Why is it a forbidden place? ”

The wise man's expression turned solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Tianqian Palace is the emperor's daily council and resting place, and there are strict rules in the palace since ancient times. Therefore, please be careful to the mistress. ”

Mei'er nodded, she hadn't had a feeling of affection for this Heavenly Venerable for the time being, and everything about him was like a passing cloud to her.

She thought for a while and said with a smile: "What other rules are there, you can simply explain it clearly!" Lest I accidentally overstep and cause unnecessary trouble, it would not be good. ”

The wise man shook his head and replied with a smile, "No." ”

Mei'er woke up suddenly, she touched the phoenix crown on her head, and said, "Old man, why is this phoenix crown so weird, do I have to wear it?" Can it be removed? ”

The wise man's eyes narrowed into a thin line, staring at the scorching phoenix crown on Mei'er's head, coughing lightly, and muttering for a long time before he replied cautiously: "The phoenix crown must be uncovered by the emperor himself, cough cough, this is a rule set by the ancients, because the emperor was in a hurry last night, and he didn't have time to ask the master mother not to be sleepy." ”

Mei'er was stunned when she heard this, then her face became hot, and she said in a low voice: "It turns out that there is such a rule." But why me?"

She looked at the old man with a humble expression in front of her suspiciously, the wise man's face was embarrassed, and he nodded: "Yes, the ancient regulations stipulate that the emperor and the queen should take a peek at each other's true faces." ”
