Chapter 25: Worship the High Priest and the Father

When the two of them came to the main hall of King Kang's mansion, they saw that not only the high priest Zhan Li, but also Bai Qi and Nangong Yuan and others had also arrived.

"Thank you for coming to my Kang Wang's Mansion to worship the high priest for the little girl and give a witness to the father-in-law, please sit down, feel free to do without formality", Yan Mo Yuhuan looked around, and his eyes fell on the high priest Yu Li.

"Lord Wang, everything is ready", Steward Luo came in to give a salute to everyone and came to Yan Moyu's side and said softly.

"The ceremony is ready, please watch the ceremony", Yan Moyu said and got up and walked in front, followed by the high priest Yan Li, and Steward Luo led the way for a group of people behind him, and they all went out of the main hall to the direction of the auditorium.

In the auditorium of King Kang's Mansion, Qing Feixue was already waiting with Xiaoyue in her arms, and when she saw Yan Moyu and them coming, she handed over the child to the nurse and stepped forward to greet them one by one.

After everyone took their seats in the auditorium, several attendants were busy making fragrant tea and serving refreshments.

Yan Moyu looked at everyone, turned his head and said to Yan Li, who was sitting on his right side, "Let's start."

"Well, well," he said, motioning to the other young priest standing beside him to get ready.

The high priest walked to the nurse, touched Xiao Yue'er's head with his hand, three times in a row from the forehead to the back of the head, and put a touch of cinnabar on the center of the eyebrows as a prayer to express blessings.

The priest who followed the departure stepped forward and read the Shao Si Ming text for Xiao Yue'er, which was regarded as a ceremony. After the ceremony, the nurse handed Xiao Yue'er to Qing Feixue, and Qing Feixue gave Xiao Yue'er a gift of grace and handed it to a maid to hold, and served tea to the high priest Zhan Li, who took the tea cup, drank it all, and gave Xiao Yue'er a purple cloud pendant, and put it on for her with her own hands, which was regarded as a gift.

The maid handed Xiao Yue'er back to Qing Feixue and then retreated, Qing Feixue looked at her eyes wide open, her dark eyes were rolling around, and her face was full of curiosity, and she was very cute. When I saw the purple cloud pendant in the shape of a cloud on Xiao Yue'er's chest again, I was a little surprised, is this the purple cloud pendant praised by the world, sure enough, the whole body is moist, with a purple halo, and there is a strange light fragrance looming when it smells, which makes people refreshed and refreshed.

"How can you give such a valuable thing to Xiao Yue'er", Yan Moyu turned his head and whispered to Yan Li.

"I'll give it if I want to," replied with an eyebrow.

"Okay", Yan Moyu felt that he asked knowingly.

"Congratulations to the High Priest", Bai Qi stood up and bowed his hand to congratulate.

"Congratulations to the High Priest", Nangong Yuan stood up and looked at Zhan Lidao.

Others also congratulated and complimented a lot.

Yan Moyu handed Qing Feixue a look, and Qing Feixue turned around and walked out of the auditorium with Xiao Yue'er and the nurse.

After the ceremony, some of the people who came got up to ask for their resignation, Yan Moyu should go down, and did not do much to stay, and immediately after leaving the auditorium one by one, there was only Zhan Li and the accompanying young priests, Bai Qi and Nangong far away.

"It's rare for Qihou to come to my house today, stay and dine together," Yan Moyu said.

"His Royal Highness King Xie Kang has good intentions, I am busy with government affairs, so I won't bother much", Bai Qi said with a smile on his face, but he showed a look of wanting to say something.

Yan Moyu saw Bai Qi's thoughts, and said: "Okay, thank you for the gift that Marquis Qi prepared for Xiao Yue'er today, and the king of tomorrow will enter the palace to thank you."

"Okay", Bai Qi listened and made up his mind, turned around and said goodbye.

"Brother Nangong, go to the study and wait for me first", Yan Moyu motioned to the attendant to lead Nangong Yuan to the study.

"Leave, you are free, stay and eat, and I will find you when I come back."

"Okay, you get busy with yours first".

"Hmm", Yan Moyu said and rushed to the study.

In the study, Nangong sat at the round tea table in the outer hall of the study, sipping tea, and when he saw Yan Moyu coming in, he hurriedly got up and said, "Lord Wang."

"Brother Nangong doesn't have to be formal", Yan Moyu sat down on Nangong Yuan's right side, took a celadon teacup and poured himself a cup, and added another cup to Nangong Yuan.

"Lord Wang, there is something to do, but it doesn't matter, as long as it is ordered by the prince, Nangong Yuan will never refuse."

"Brother Nangong, I'll thank you first", Yan Moyu said and raised the cup in his hand, signaling to toast Nangong Yuan with tea instead of wine.

"Lord Wang, this...", Nangong Yuan had no choice but to drink it all in return with a teacup in his hand.

"Brother Nangong, I'm going to leave for some time, but I don't know how long, Huofeng's military affairs are all entrusted to you", Yan Moyu looked at Nangong Yuan and said earnestly.

"Lord Wang, it's serious", Nangong Yuan understood the meaning of Yan Moyu's words.

"I know that Brother Nangong, you stand up to the sky, brave and loyal, and dedicated to the country and the people, I have always respected it very much, but I am afraid that after I leave, the matter of using troops in the court and the central government, it will all depend on Brother Nangong, and it must be more troublesome, and there is a free country in the east, and the wolf clan in the west has repeatedly violated the border, and everything must be done carefully", Yan Moyu paused and then said: "My half of the talisman is handed over to the high priest to take care of, I will explain to him, if necessary, you can look for him."

Nangong Yuan looked at the man in front of him who was not a few years younger than himself, and people worshiped him everywhere, if he was a monarch, he would be a blessing for his subjects, and now he listened to his words, every sentence was sincere, and he put his heart in his heart, so trusted, he could only repay him with all his might.

The two talked in the study for about an hour, and it was already lunch time when they came out.

"Lord Wang, lunch is ready", an attendant stepped forward to report when he saw the two of them coming out.

"Brother Nangong, let's go together", Yan Moyu said to Nangong from afar.

"It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate", Nangong said from afar.

The two went to the main hall together, and when they saw that Yu Li was already waiting there, the three of them sat down together, and served some wine, and the banquet was very pleasant, and they teased each other.

After lunch, Yan Moyu sent Nangong away, and the two of them walked to the garden, and sat down in the pavilion.

"Yu, when are you going to leave"?

"As soon as possible, these are the days."

"It's so fast", Zhan Li sighed lightly, remembering that there had been similar scenes before, "I have to go, it's better to be early."

"Hmm", Yan Moyu thought of Qing Feixue and Xiao Yue'er, when did he leave so hurt?

"Say it when you go, so that I can see you off."

"No, it's better for us to leave quietly."

"That's right, too many people know that you are leaving, but the situation is unstable."

"This is for you", Yan Moyu said and took out a talisman from his arms, shaped as a frontal luan phoenix, carved with red jade crystal, the phoenix eyes are obsidian inlay, the wings are flat and upward to form a crescent moon, each piece of red feather is clearly visible, the four claws are gilded, and the phoenix tail glaze is naturally natural, and it is ingenious.

"It's... This is a talisman, what will you do for me?"

"Leave it to you in charge, I am afraid that things will change during my absence, and you have the right to act."

"How dare you rest assured"?

"I don't have anything to worry about you."

"I don't..."

"I have already told Nangong Yuan, the talisman is with you, if necessary, I can ask you to use it."

"You... Have you thought clearly, then Nangong Yuan already holds half of the military power of the Fire Phoenix Country, and if he has this military talisman, if he has a different heart, I am afraid that no one will be able to suppress him."

"I know, therefore, I will give you the talisman for safekeeping, not directly to him."

"Then you tell him that the talisman is with me, what if I can't protect it?"

"With Luo Feng here, I have already handed over the palace guards to his jurisdiction, plus the Praetorian Guards in Fengdu, there are also 10,000 people, if necessary, I can help you go to the military camps of all sides", Yan Moyu looked at Yan Li, and then said: "Now all the generals in the army are the old troops before me and Nangong Yuan, I don't dare to say his people, my people will be at their disposal when they see the soldiers."

"You've thought it through."

"Hehe, besides, regardless of my relationship with Brother Nangong, I believe that he is a loyal man and will never do anything treasonous."

"Now Prime Minister Bai and General Nangong don't deal with each other very much, and if you don't mediate between them, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble."

"Isn't there still you"?

"You know, I've never liked court things, and I can't avoid them."

"Then after I leave, you have the responsibility to avoid it", Yan Moyu looked at Yan Li with a serious face.

"Are you really pushing me into the fire pit"? Zhan Li couldn't bear it anymore, so he had to smile and look away.

"Well, if I don't push you, who can I push"?

"Alas... Can I refuse"? In his heart, he had actually accepted Yan Moyu's trust, but he still looked very embarrassed.

"What if I agree to let Xiao Yue'er compete for the throne inheritance in the future"?

"Really", Yan Li obviously didn't expect Yan Moyu to say it himself, "But it's true."

"Really, it's more real than this talisman, can you take it"?

"Hmm... Okay", Yu Li took the talisman casually, wrote it in his hand, and immediately felt that he had a lot of money, and after a while, he was afraid that he couldn't even sleep well, but looking at Yan Moyu's relieved expression, I don't know why, what can be done for him, no matter how difficult and bitter it is, he is still willing.

"In addition, after we leave, Xiao Yue'er will be handed over to you, if there is anything missing, you can watch it."

Zhan Li was a little crying without tears, thinking to herself what is this called, a naked threat, even if I fold myself, I don't dare to let your little Yue'er have any mistakes, I always feel that being her father-in-law is calculated by Yan Moyu.

"Don't just spoil her, teach her well, your great sacrifice will not insult King Kang's Mansion."

"It's... Be... Yes, don't worry, I will teach you strictly, don't lose your face", Zhan Li twitched the corner of his mouth helplessly, and sure enough, there was a problem.

"Well, it doesn't have to be too good, it's about the same as me", Yan Moyu glanced at Yan Li, and said modestly.

"Huh? ... Similar to you? Then I can't teach it, so you can do it yourself", he shook his head again and again, looking embarrassed.

The two talked and laughed, and before they knew it, an hour had passed, and they saw that the sun had begun to sink in the west.

"Well, I don't know how long it will take to say goodbye"?

"You're not going to take the Infinity Fruit and travel the world, are you?"

"There is such an idea, but it depends on the situation."

"Don't, come back early, otherwise Xiao Yue'er won't remember you."
