He suddenly felt that the little girl in front of him seemed to have become different.

No, it doesn't seem to be in front of him, but in his eyes—

Master Xie, who has always had a clear mind, keenly noticed that the little girl was still the cheerful and interesting little girl, and it should be ...... My own eyes have become different.

Isn't it because of the wine?

And Xu Wanxi, who had already noticed it, suddenly turned her face, and a pair of apricot eyes stared slightly.

Xie Qian was almost taken aback.

The little girl said directly: "What, hasn't Uncle Xie seen enough?" ”

Didn't you think she said that she would rather not marry, and thought she was weird?

Why can he not marry, but she can't not marry?

Xie Qian coughed lightly to cover up his gaffe.

"I'm a little distracted."

But, I really don't think I've seen enough-

Master Xie smiled softly in his heart, and turned his head back to the river again.

Inexplicably, the mood is much better than when I came.

Today, he had something on his mind, and his father came to ...... In addition to implicitly accusing him of not being close to his family, he was urging him to settle down as soon as possible, and even decided to leave for Beijing next month, and it is said that he had already found a good family affair for him.

Naturally, he doesn't have to take these things to heart, he always has a way to deal with them.

However, my father praised my stepmother in the letter, to the effect that he should not be so narrow-minded.

But how could he not be narrow-minded-

He had always remembered those old things.

But it's all the old stuff in the end.

Everything in front of you is excellent.

It even occurred to him that having someone by his side wasn't all trouble—of course...... It can't be just a person.

"It's so pretty......" he sighed with a smile in a low voice.

Xu Wanxi's cheeks were slightly hot when she heard this.

This...... Are you praising her?

But seeing that his eyes were fixed on the countless river lamps on the surface of the river, he couldn't help but think again-probably talking about river lanterns.

But...... Even if she is good-looking, there is nothing unusual, after all, she is Xu Wanxi, who is tied with Zhen Zhen as the first beautiful little lady in the capital.

Thinking like this, his complexion returned to calmness.

And at this moment, a loud bang suddenly came from above the head-

"Boom!"

A brilliant firework blooms in the night sky.

The fleeting brilliance had not yet had time to be extinguished, and then a second flower bloomed one after another.

"Uncle Xie Shi, look!"

There are very few girls in the family who don't like to watch fireworks, and Xu Wanxi was very surprised.

In previous years, I didn't see fireworks here!

Xie Qian glanced at her with a smile, and then raised his eyes as well.

The two sat and stood together, watching the sky flow together.

On the opposite side of the river, Emperor Zhaofeng, who was sitting in front of the tea stall and resting in the clothes of a Taoist priest, scolded secretly: "The prince is a loser!" ”

It seems that he gives too much pocket money on weekdays!

In order to cooperate with the emperor's travel, Liu Fu, who was also wearing a Taoist uniform, reminded in a low voice: "Master Dao, this is outside, but it is not good to call the prince directly, it will make people notice the strange ......"

As for why he also pretended to be a Taoist priest who 'got up and sat together' with His Majesty...... Hey, he wanted to pretend to be a Taoist boy, but this old face didn't allow it.

Emperor Zhaofeng took a sip of tea indignantly, and then frowned and spit it out.

Is this really not grass clippings but tea?

Sensing the strange gazes of everyone around him, Liu Fu secretly wiped a cold sweat.

It seems that when it comes to how to hide your identity when you leave the palace, Your Majesty has to learn from His Royal Highness......

Everyone's eyes did not stay on that suspicious line of 'Taoist priests' for too long, after all, today's saints reuse alchemists, but Taoist monks are common in the city. What's more, some of them have temporarily changed to Taoist priests, and it is nothing to behave strangely.

"These fireworks are so fucking beautiful."

A man at the next table roughly and simply described his appreciation for the fireworks.

"Yes...... someone echoed: "Speaking of which, in recent years, our Dajing has been a smooth ......."

Compared with the many hidden dangers and dangers hidden under the prosperity, and the hardships of the people at the bottom who are far away from the capital, what they see in the capital is only a sign of national peace and security.

So it was decided that this is the case all over the world.

Emperor Zhaofeng listened with satisfaction.

Someone raised their heads, and the other tea guests who were seated opened their mouths.

"Speaking of which, it was the earthquake of Mount Tai last year, and it was also a turn of danger into safety...... Today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a real dragon descending into the world, and we will have more good days in Dajing in the future! ”

When Emperor Zhaofeng heard this, he was also comfortable in his heart.

After all, he is his own son, and he is very pleased that the prince he chose can be recognized by the people.

As for being dissatisfied with the crown prince's reputation overshadowing himself?

Emperor Zhaofeng, who was bent on abdicating the throne as soon as possible, said that this kind of thinking did not exist at all.

"What's more, there is also a great master! If it weren't for the previous great masters who voluntarily retreated for three years and prayed for Dajing, how could Dajing have been prosperous and stable for many years? ”

Emperor Zhaofeng's eyelids moved.

The people were still talking, and the admiration and respect in their tones were even stronger than when they talked about the crown prince just now.

And faintly mixed with a kind of gratitude and belief as if worshipping the gods.

"Speaking of which, the great master is really a god and a man, ......"

"That's right, with the presence of a great master, we will definitely be able to ensure the peace of our Great Yasukuni and the people!"

Emperor Zhaofeng's mood gradually changed.

He had listened to it for a while, but he had not heard a single person mention him as an emperor.

There's nothing wrong with me at all.

But these people didn't even use their brains to think about it, if he hadn't reused the virtuous ministers and chose a good prince, would Dajing have the prosperity it has today?

Even if it is a great master, he also pulled it up with one hand, and when he praises people, can't he also praise him?

But then again, is the prestige of the national teacher among the people so high?

It's not that he hasn't heard Lu Yuan mention the importance of the people's admiration for the national teacher, but he has heard it with his own ears, but it is a completely different feeling.

Seeing that the emperor's face changed faintly, Liu Fu didn't dare to listen to the words of the people anymore.

At this moment, a monk wearing a gray monk's robe walked over.

"A pot of tea."

The fat monk sat down at the empty table next to Emperor Zhaofeng.

Emperor Zhaofeng glanced at the other party a few more times.

There is no other reason, but as a fellow practitioner, it is inevitable that they want to take a closer look, and if the other party is a master, maybe they can exchange experiences.

The monk sat down casually and slapped the Buddhist beads in his hand on the table.

Emperor Zhaofeng fixed his eyes on the string of Buddhist beads, and his expression suddenly changed.

Ooh!

I really called him to meet him!

If he was not mistaken, the string of Buddhist beads was not an ordinary wooden bead, a bone bead or a jade bead, but a grain of sand and stone.

The sand and stone, which should have been rough, had long since lost its edges and corners, and had become smooth and round under the twisting of the monks over time.

Emperor Zhaofeng's eyes lit up, and he beckoned Liu Fu to come over.

“……”

Liu Fu, who had been explained, stepped forward.
