As soon as the bewitching man's feet stepped out of the threshold of the main hall, the little novice who had been guarding outside the hall entered the door, closed the door gently, and when there was only a gap left, the voice of the old monk suddenly floated out again, saying, "'The peach blossom red and pink posture of the small shop, and the green tobacco of the willow on the motou. "If the donor is looking for someone, you might as well go here, 'life is death, and death is also life'." ’”

Hearing this, the bewitching man's eyes were stunned for a moment, and he suddenly came to his senses and said, "'The peach blossoms in the small shop are red and pink, and the willows are green. 'Could it be that the three princes of Dongning are also looking for a girl... Why did he keep pestering the girl, there must be some secret in this......"

For a while, the bewitching man's heart was surprised and delighted, "The girl is still alive, the girl is really alive, it's great, it's really good!" ”

As he spoke, he strode out of the gate of the City God Temple with a big stride full of hope, turned over and ran towards the direction where Mei Zhixuan had just left in the night fog.

Peach Blossom Shop Village.

After the baptism of the custom of walking the bridge with lights tonight, the relationship between Huan'er and Ruoxi has really increased a lot.

After returning home, Huan'er took the initiative to move all the objects of Ruoxi on the small bed in the old woman's room to her own room, and the old woman looked at her changes with a puzzled expression, "Huan'er, aren't you afraid of Ruoxi?" Why did you come to the old man's room to move Ruoxi's things at this time? ”

"The old lady is wrong, as the saying goes, 'newly made shoes will grind your feet', not to mention two strangers who have never been masked in this world! However, from now on, Huan'er is Ruoxi's eyes, what she wants to see, Huan'er will see, where she is going, Huan'er will go...... The two of us have been inseparable ever since. Before the words fell, Huan'er had already finished her last trip and flew out like a smoke.

The old woman looked at its vanishing back and smiled helplessly.

Ruoxi was brought home by Huan'er, so she settled down and sat on the edge of her bed, and repeatedly ordered her to never move. So, she had to sit in place and ponder quietly alone, "In the Dream Pavilion, it was like a dream, and I saw many pictures in the dream, but I couldn't see the faces of the men and women clearly." Who are these people? What does it have to do with me? 'The true dragon goes out to sea, the spirit and the sky are unified, the phoenix nirvana, reborn from the fire, life is death, death is also life', what does this mean? ”

The old woman was in another room, in the light of a dim candle, muttering to herself, "She must be the Guardian, but why doesn't she have the Guardian's exclusive phoenix mark on her?" No, it seems that tomorrow I will have to go to the Lying City God Temple to meet the master in person. ”

In the palace of the Western Qin Dynasty.

In the brightly lit and splendid hall, a full hall of monarchs and ministers spent together, the solemn and peaceful atmosphere of the banquet has just ended, and the monarchs and ministers serving the banquet have also dispersed.

At this time, the bright moonlight and twinkling stars in the night sky rendered the entire towering Western Qin Imperial Palace like a palace in the sky, ethereal like a fairyland.

In the queen's Chaohua Palace, the night breeze blows the smoke in front of the incense burner, so that the huge palace is full of wisps of fragrance.

"Queen Mother, the sons have not been in the palace for a few years, and they don't know about the Lantern Festival in the palace

When did the show start to be so fun? Erchen felt that the acrobatic team invited from outside the palace performed drill circles, magic, handstands, etc., which were thrilling and exciting, and it was really dizzying. Also, who actually came up with a way to deliberately move the scene of the folk market to the palace, bursts of laughter, merchants shouting loudly, crowds of people, and bustling...... This scene of folk street life does not need to go out of the palace gate to be in full view, and it can be seen at a glance, Erchen really thinks it is very novel and fun. ”

After many years of traveling, the crown prince Xuanyuan Hao, who had the Lantern Festival for the first time after returning to the palace, seemed to be still unsatisfied at this time, standing in the center of the hall and dancing excitedly.

The queen was dressed in an embroidered gold phoenix robe, dressed very ceremoniously and sat on a soft couch in the hall while listening, smiling, and taking a sip of the flower tea offered by the maid.

Then he wiped the tea stains on the corner of his mouth with a brocade hand, and then said slowly disapprovingly: "The queen mother prefers the special lanterns that officials from all over the world have come in, and their designs are all exquisite, which is really dazzling to see." Especially those auspicious lanterns, horse-shaped lanterns imply success, toad lanterns imply toad palace laurels, as well as beautiful crab lanterns, rabbit lanterns, crane lanterns and official lanterns...... However, if you want to say that the most shocking and heart-warming thing is the "Lantern Festival Picture of the People's Joy" presented by Lu Xianjin of the Western Qin Academy, and it is also the scene details of the people of the Western Qin State who are in the wind and rain and the people of the country are happy to celebrate the Lantern Festival in the people, all of which are vividly drawn, which is really beautiful and quite shocking. ”

"Yes, yes, what the queen mother said is that Erchen has long heard that Lu Xian of the Western Qin Academy is familiar with astronomy and geography, and his academic attainments are unmatched in the Lingkong Continent, but unfortunately, he is also an idler who does not love fame and court." Xuanyuan Hao said with endless envy and a hint of regret in his words.

After a while, when he came back to his senses, he suddenly turned his head, and then saw Xuanyuan on the side sitting quietly and silently on the side, holding a bowl of mellow milk tea in his hand, but he just seemed to be in a daze and kept watching, so he paced over to his side and asked, "Sister Huang, what about you?" Is it the same as the queen mother, like those dazzling lanterns and Lu Xian's "Lantern Festival Picture of the People"? ”

Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan didn't know how deep he fell into contemplation, and he was almost unaware of Xuanyuan Hao, who was standing in front of him, who was whispering loudly.

So, Xuanyuan Hao frowned and reached out to grab the milk tea in his hand, Xuanyuan quickly came to his senses and asked in surprise, "Ah?" What's wrong? ”

The queen also saw her abnormality at this time from a distance, and Xuanyuan Hao asked suspiciously, "Sister Huang, tonight is the annual Lantern Festival, singing and laughing, and celebrating all over the world." Why did the royal sister look sullen all night alone, what is this for? What is on the mind of the royal sister? Say it, maybe Hao'er and the queen mother can help the royal sister talk about it! ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Xuanyuan suddenly showed a look of embarrassment, as if he wanted to say it but didn't want to say it, I don't know if he was ashamed to say it, or for some other reason.

So, Xuanyuan Hao guessed to himself and teased, "Oh, the imperial brother understands." On a good day and an auspicious day, is the imperial sister thinking about your good marriage again! ”

"Hao'er Hugh wants to talk nonsense, what's the matter?" Xuanyuan seemed to be a little angry and flatly denied.

Not this? Just now, General Cheng has already sent someone to the palace to report quickly, and Uncle Qin Huang has woken up unharmed, so what else can make the imperial sister so worried and absent-minded? Xuanyuan Hao touched his head and wondered.

Thinking about it, Xuanyuan still didn't know how to ask for a long time.

However, Xuanyuan Hao still continued to speculate about it unrelentingly: "Could it be because... Yun'er? ”

As soon as he heard the word 'Yun'er', Xuanyuan finally sighed heavily. Then he raised his voice to the palace maids and eunuchs waiting in the main hall and ordered, "You all retreat, no one is allowed to enter and disturb without the summons of the queen mother." ”

The queen was obviously stunned by Xuanyuan's mysterious and abnormal behavior at this time, but she still nodded solemnly to the attendants, and the palace maids and eunuchs in the first hall hurriedly obeyed the order and retreated.

Everyone dispersed, and in an instant, only the mother and son were left in the huge palace, and the queen's brows frowned slightly, and then she asked Xuanyuan solemnly, "Son, what happened to you tonight?" ”

Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan got up again, attached his hands to the shoulders of Xuanyuan Hao, who had been standing in front of him with a big question mark on his face, and said, "Hao'er, it's late at night, you should go back to the palace first." Tonight, the royal sister wants to talk to the queen mother alone. ”

Xuanyuan Hao immediately retorted: "Why is the imperial sister so mysterious, what is the matter, even the imperial brother can't know?" ”

Xuanyuan shook his head very resolutely, Xuanyuan Hao turned his head a little unconvinced, glanced at the queen who was also full of questions, and took a big step with some annoyance, and walked out of the palace gate helplessly.

At this time, Xuanyuan Fang slowly moved to the queen's side, filled the tea soup in the tea bowl with respect for her, and said with a firm gaze, "Queen Mother, my son's time in the Western Qin Palace is running out, and there are some things that I want to listen to my mother clearly before leaving." In this way, the son can marry away from another country with peace of mind. ”

Hearing this, the queen stared at the daughter in front of her who grew up from childhood to adulthood and was deeply stunned when she watched her grow up with her own eyes.

She looked at this daughter who had never had such a serious and firm look at her at this time, and suddenly found that her daughter had such a powerful and compelling momentum when she was serious.

Perhaps, she has really grown up. In this way, in the future, she can only make herself strong without hesitation, so that she can have a foothold.

In this world, of course, there is not only a struggle in the Western Qin Palace, which palace has ever stopped?! The long years, the road ahead, obviously a lot of things, even if she is the mother of a country, I am afraid that she can't help.

Therefore, at this moment, she must be deeply comforted. She silently prayed in her heart: Yes, that's it, son, in the future, you must make yourself stronger and stronger.

So, although the queen's face was full of seriousness, she was actually very relieved in her heart, and slowly took the tea bowl that Xuanyuan respectfully handed over, took a sip of tea soup, and asked lightly, "What do you want to know?" ”

Xuanyuan took a deep breath and seemed to have the courage to say, "Queen Mother, my son wants to know, how did my father ascend to the throne back then?" What is the truth? ”
