Since Shen Qingdao's resignation, the struggle in the Northern Chu Palace has become more and more inspiring, like the ocean in the twilight, with countless undercurrents hidden underneath.

Early today, Yi Shiyan was asked by hundreds of civil and military officials about the establishment of the new prime minister.

"Your Majesty, the prime minister of the court has been empty for a few years, and since my brother disappeared, the emperor has never set up a new appearance~" Shen Mu started to play at His Royal Highness.

Yi Shiyan frowned, and pinched the bridge of his nose with his hand, this thing was going to drive him crazy.

"I can appreciate Aiqing's good intentions, let me think about this matter a few more times......"

"Your Majesty, every time a minister mentions this matter, the emperor always avoids talking about it, it is not the emperor's ......"

"Retreat from the dynasty, don't mention this matter again, there is no one in this court who can be better than him, no matter how long this phase is, I will leave it to him!"

"Retreat!"

"This ......," His Royal Highness looked at each other.

Yi Shiyan walked on the corridor with his dragon robe, and he didn't inadvertently hear the birds singing on the side of the corridor.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Shen has been out of the court for ten years, what do you want to do with this?" The eunuch on the side persuaded.

"This is the ...... I promised him" Yi Shiyan looked at the eaves of the palace, his eyes drifting into the distance.

Ten years, ten years have passed, the children who went up the mountain back then have grown up, all of them are in their prime, heroic and cool, and Shen Qingdao has also lived in this Phoenix Feather Pavilion for nearly ten years......

"Master, the ten-year covenant is approaching, and you promised me that my affairs will be done!" Shen Qingdao knelt in front of the pavilion master's door and said.

"Huh~" The door was pushed open, and the pavilion master helped him up.

"You've also gotten what you want in the last ten years, it's time to go back......"

"It's mid-autumn today, don't you accompany that child?"

"No need, we haven't seen each other in ten years, and she probably doesn't recognize me......"

"Well, at noon today, come to Nirvana, and I'll see you off."

"Master Xie."

In Xihe's Rugui Pavilion, ten years of time have made the original Xiao Jingli have grown up, she has grown a lot taller, beautiful eyes, elegant eyebrows, bud-like face, small and delicate nose bridge gives people a little well-behaved, her lips are like her mother, a little sip, enough to fall into the city.

"Jing Li, where are you!" Tong Yao shouted on the bluestone road on the mountain.

Now 11-year-old Jing Li is very naughty, jumping around on and off the mountain all day long, picking the flowers she likes, smelling the sound of the stream she loves, chasing the birds she yearns for, and enjoying her intoxicating scenery.

"I'm in Zhaoheting~" The melodious voice echoed in the mountains.

Many disciples who were cleaning suddenly raised their heads and smiled helplessly.

"It's Jingli that girl again......"

When Tong Yao heard this, he immediately ran non-stop to the Zhaohe Pavilion north of the mountain range.

"Jing Li, come down, Master Xihe is looking for you?"

"Ahh It's over~" Jing Li leaned against the pillar of the pavilion and panicked.

She turned over and jumped down, grabbed Tong Yao's hand and ran down the mountain.

"Will the master beat me~" Jing Li became worried.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you!" Tong Yao said.

"That's not to hit me, what about Haruka?"

"Don't think about it so much, I don't think the master is so angry~"

"Really, fake."

"Just check it out."

The two ran from the back hill of the Rugui Pavilion to the front of the pavilion, and the two bent over hand in hand, holding their knees with their hands and panting.

"Jing Li! You come in~" Xi He's master's voice came from inside the house.

"Oh! Here it comes! Jing Li was so frightened that she didn't have time to catch her breath.

Xihe stood in front of the hall with his back to the door, his snow-white hair draped over his shoulders, and the sun shone like jade snow on the mountains.

"Master, are you looking for me?" Jing Li stood below with her fingers clasped with her hands, extremely nervous.

"Stinky girl, where did you run away again, I'm in a hurry!" Xihe pinched her face as soon as he turned around and said.

"Oh woo~ Master, I know it's wrong."

"Today is mid-autumn, there are a few mooncakes on the table, you can send them to the pavilion master on my behalf!"

"Why me?"

"Silly girl, it was the pavilion master who took you in at the beginning, what do you say?"

"Oh!" Jing Li pouted and took the moon cake box reluctantly.

"Bang!" Without saying a word, she rushed out of the door and ran towards the Phoenix Feather Main Pavilion.

"Eh~ Don't steal it!" Xihe shouted at Jingli who was far away.

Jing Li began to be curious with the snack box, so she lifted the lid, and several mooncakes with the yellow glow of ancient tree trunks were neatly placed inside.

“1，2，3…… 4…… 9 "Jing Li lowered his head and counted.

"Why don't I try one?" Jing Li poked her head around and quickly picked up a mooncake and put it in her mouth.

"Hmm~ It tastes good, this red bean is so fragrant and sweet!" She immediately swallowed the whole mooncake in her stomach.

Jing Li, who had done bad things, came to the main pavilion with the box, the whole pavilion was very deserted, the fallen leaves in the garden fell at will, and there was no disciple guarding the door.

Jing Li walked to the door and gently clasped the door, but no one came to open it.

"No one?"

Jing Li simply pushed the door open by herself. A faint woody scent came from the room, and the hall was extremely quiet, with a few traces of dust wafting through the light. Jing Li sat at the table with the box in her hand, her head spinning around, this was her first time in the guest hall of the main pavilion......

"What's that?" Jing Li was attracted by a flower and plant on the shelf.

She pushed a chair and stood on tiptoe to reach the vase on the shelf, the chair swaying underneath her feet.

"Hey! Got it! ”

Suddenly, the chair under Jingli's feet toppled to one side.

"Ahh Jing Li's hands were off the shelf, his body was back, facing the sky, and the person was about to hit the floor.

At this moment, a figure flashed, he kicked the chair, caught the mirror with his right hand, and gracefully turned around and dragged the vase firmly on the palm of his left hand.

"Ahhh Jing Li kept shouting at Shen Qingdao's hand.

"Okay, little girl, it's okay~"

Jing Li opened his eyes and touched his face and body everywhere, "I'm fine~I'm scared to death~"

Jing Li slowly raised his head, and an uncle with a haggard face stood in front of him, his eyes were like Jing Li's eyes, and he could speak.

"Thank you, uncle."

"Uncle? Ha ha! Shen Qingdao laughed.

I don't know why, he hasn't seen Jingli for ten years, and now he is so happy, this childish child is standing in front of him obediently.

Shen Qingdao touched her head and said, "Little girl, how old are you?" ”

"Me? Eleven years old. Jing Li replied.

"Eleven is already ......," Shen Qingdao couldn't help but feel sad.

"Then I'll go first, my uncle's box of moon cakes is for the pavilion master!" Maybe it was something bad, Jing Li immediately slipped away, and the hair behind him shook and shook.

Shen Qingdao looked outside the door, "The child has grown up, Dongzhu ......"

Shen Qingdao turned around and walked towards the wooden table and opened the box. "Huh? Why is a piece missing? ”

Suddenly, I remembered the red bean paste on the corner of her mouth just now, and laughed wantonly.

In the Dongyang Hall of the Northern Chu Palace, Yi Shiyan was taking a nap.

"Your Majesty, in the mid-autumn today, the old slave is ready for the banquet you gave to the hundred officials."

"Hmm~ hard work."

Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor decided to feast hundreds of officials in the back garden to show the emperor's favor.

I remember that Shen Qingdao gave the emperor three things to pay attention to when he left.

First, no one should be in the phase for 10 years.

Second, there will be no more fighting for 10 years.

Third, the Shen family army in the palace cannot be easily mobilized, not at any time!

Yi Shiyan has never been clear about what Shen Qingdao has been doing all these years.

At the beginning, Shen Qingdao repeatedly reminded Yi Shiyan and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers have been absent from the palace for all these years, and the Shen family army must not be easily transferred away from his side, once the incident happens, they are the only people you can rely on." ”

The Shen family army is the army of the Shen Mansion, and it is also the name of the army given by the emperor himself, this army was specially formed by Yi Shiyan and Shen Qingdao, it only allows two people to move, one is Shen Qingdao and the other is the emperor.

The establishment of the Shen family army is not only to strengthen the country, but also to prevent it from happening - usurpation and treason.

At noon, the Nirvana field gathered the disciples of the other Nine Pavilions of this Phoenix Feather, and they all came to see Shen Qingdao off.

Many disciples are seeing the disciples of the main pavilion for the first time, and Huang Yu has made a rule that the disciples of the main pavilion are not allowed to interact with the other eight pavilions, and the disciples of the pavilion master are only allowed to accept one person. This also caused many people to be curious about the origin of this main pavilion disciple.

Ten years of tempering have made Shen Qingdao's face age a lot, there are a few more wrinkles on his square forehead, the beard at the corner of his mouth has grown a lot, the only thing that remains unchanged is the pair of eyes on the bridge of his upright nose that talk back, all these years, he has not forgotten everything that happened that day.

"Today, my Phoenix Feather Main Pavilion disciple Shen Qing said, out of the teacher, from now on, you will be the first person in my Phoenix Feather to come out of the teacher!"

Shen Qingdao knelt in front of the pavilion master, and the pavilion master picked up the wooden box behind him and handed it to him.

"This is the prisoner's sound piano, it is the treasure of the Phoenix Feather Nine Talents, and it will be delivered to you today."

Shen Qingdao raised her head, the pavilion master's hair was messy in the wind, and the red clothes were fierce, she threw down her sleeves and turned to leave.

"Remember, once out of the phoenix feather, the common people will live!" Only this clear sentence remains.

"Yes!" Shen Qing sent the pavilion master away.

All the disciples in the audience knelt down, and Shen Qingdao walked through the crowd.

Shen Qingdao opened the wooden box, a guqin made of rosewood, the strings are glowing with cold jade, the two ends of the headstock are carved with delicate phoenixes, the phoenix feathers coil around the body of the piano, dazzling and gorgeous, and there is a piece of finch feather Zhu Ling hanging at the end of the piano......

Shen Qingdao stood up and walked towards the stage, and he slowly walked in front of Jing Li.

Jing Li saw the shadow on the ground and raised her head slightly.

"You're that uncle?"

Shen Qingdao smiled softly, he touched Jing Li's head and said, "Child, work hard, the next disciple of the pavilion master will be you." ”

Jing Li was a little embarrassed: "Me? ”

Shen Qingdao got up and walked towards the outside of the Nirvana Field, the wind blew his clothes, and the jade pendant next to the piano shook in the wind.

"Now that you are out of the phoenix feather, you will live a life~" Shen Qing kept silently chanting in his mouth

He stood at the end of the Nirvana field and turned towards the pavilion master, who was also standing at the other end, he slowly bent down and bowed deeply.

"Thank you......"

The pavilion master looked at Shen Qingdao, who was gradually blurring in the wind, and smiled with satisfaction. It was the first time in so many years that she showed her emotion – a smile.
