Chapter Forty-Eight: The Ceremony of Canonization
"When can I go back?" Su Xiao asked, because although the scenery of Lingxian Mountain is beautiful, these days are like a day, and they are spotless, which is really boring.
"I'll be back in the afternoon. Yuhua said.
Then the two looked at each other without saying a word, and ate with their heads bored.
After eating, Su Xiao slept for a while, and it was Yuhua who came to wake him up.
Su Xiao originally thought that Yuhua would put away the enchantment and let Su Xiao go back alone, but seeing Yuhua's posture, it didn't look like it, so he asked out loud, "You send me?"
"No, Brother Yuhua is going to participate in the National Teacher Ceremony today. Cangshu said with a mouth on the side.
"National teacher, when did you become a national teacher? This Murong Yan can't think about it!" Su Xiao shook his head, expressing disbelief, what made Murong Yan feel that Yuhua would do things for him, it was really courageous, and he secretly admired Murong Yan in his heart.
"I'll talk to you later, and I'll take you back first. "Yuhua actually didn't want to explain anything at all, because being a national teacher was to be able to have an identity and stay in the palace as a matter of course.
"Oh well. Su Xiao didn't ask any more questions.
Yuhua pulled Su Xiao into his arms, grabbed Su Xiao's slender waist with one hand, and blew a secret whistle with the other, attracting a crane.
"Wow, are you going to take me to the sky?" Su Xiao's heart was a little excited.
The crane is snow-white, exuding a misty sense of fairy energy, holding its head high, like a tall lady, but its expression is cute and cute, Su Xiao couldn't help but touch it, it lowered its head very approachably and rubbed Su Xiao's palm with its head.
Su Xiao happily looked back at Yuhua, Yuhua also looked at Su Xiao with a smile, and Cangshu felt that he was too dazzling at this time and became invisible, and he didn't know where to run.
Su Xiao asked, "Does it have a name?"
"It's called Crooked, and it's the only crane in the divine realm that has received the teachings of Buddhism, so it has a very spiritual heart. ”
"Crooked, the name really has a personality, it turns out that it is still a bird with culture. Su Xiao muttered.
Crooked suddenly stomped his feet on the ground twice, flapping his wings, and his cry was loud and resounding through the valley.
"It, what's wrong with it?" Su Xiao suddenly went crazy when he saw Crooked, and hurriedly hid behind Yuhua.
Yuhua covered her mouth and smiled, calmed Crooked, and said to Su Xiao: "Crooked is a crane, and I hate it when others say it's a bird." ”
"Oh. Su Xiao thought to herself, isn't it still a kind of bird family, what's the difference, sure enough, the crane that has become an immortal is indispensable to the arrogant little temper, not to mention that it is still a cultured crane.
"Let's go, we won't be able to catch the ceremony any later. Yuhua urged Su Xiao to sit on his crooked back.
At first, Su Xiao was still quite scared, leaning against Yuhua, Yuhua hugged herself, with a sense of security, flying crookedly and steadily, and the feeling of soaring in the clouds was very wonderful.
Crooked flew to the capital soon, originally thought that Yuhua would let Crooked stop on the outskirts of the capital, but he didn't expect to let Crooked fly directly to the scene of the ceremony, Su Xiao thought to himself, the great god is really ostentatious to do things.
Crooked and slowly landed, and the people present at the ceremony all let out a sigh, and they all sighed, no wonder the emperor asked this person to be the national teacher, and the immortal crane that can control the god realm, even if it is a mortal, it is not an ordinary ordinary person.
Su Xiao told himself to be calm, but he was still a little flustered by the onlookers, and he almost tripped over himself when he got to the ground, but fortunately, Yuhua quickly supported himself, which avoided the stubble of foreign appearance.
After Murong Yan saw Su Xiao, he hurriedly stepped down from the high position and said in surprise: "Xiaoxiao! You are finally back, how is it?"
Murong Yan kept shaking Su Xiao, looking left and right, looking up and down, looking at Su Xiao carefully, Su Xiao was a little dizzy from being shaken, and quickly pushed Murong Yan away, saying, "If you shake again, I'm really going to have an accident." ”
Murong Yan hurriedly let go of Su Xiao and looked at Yuhua with a look of gratitude on his face, but the latter completely ignored the former's enthusiastic gaze.
Coughed a few times, and said in a positive voice: "Since Brother Yuhua has arrived, then the ceremony will begin." ”
After finishing speaking, Murong Yan returned to the high seat, with a dignified expression, while Su Xiao stepped aside, trying to reduce his sense of existence, and Yuhua let Crooked leave first and began his own canonization ceremony.
As Lin Quan's shrill voice remembered that after the announcement of the start of the ceremony, the majestic music played, and the hundred officials retreated to both sides, kneeling on the ground and saluting, only Yuhua stood tall alone, although he stood at the bottom of the steps, but the noble and domineering temperament on his body was fully revealed, and he was close to Murong Yan who was sitting in the first place.
When Lin Quan studied the holy decree, Murong Yan specially stated the rule that the national teacher did not have to bow down when he saw anyone, although the hundred officials refused in their hearts, but they did not say anything, Yuhua also accepted it happily, and since then, Yuhua, the national teacher of the Eastern Emperor Continent, enjoys the power of one person and ten thousand people.
After the ceremony, when the hundred officials were about to wait for the emperor's order to leave, Murong Yan glanced at Lin Quan again.
Lin Quan ordered someone to invite another holy decree up, and a shrill voice followed: "Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict says, there is a good girl Su Xiao today, Hui Zhi Lanxin, kind-hearted, once risked to save my life, the grace of saving my life, I, Minggan Wunei, from today, I will be specially sealed as the lord of Yanhua, give good land, mansion, silver ten thousand taels, Qin this." “
Su Xiao knelt on the ground, kowtowed, thanked him, and was ecstatic in his heart, thinking that he was also a rich official now.
And Yuhua and other civil and military officials are not very good, civil and military officials have a lot of discussions, just because the word "Yan" in the title given is the single word in the emperor's name, if it is not given by the emperor himself, it will be regarded as a great disrespectful crime, now, just from the title, you can see Murong Yan's love for Su Xiao, Yuhua's eyes darkened, and Su Xiao was heartless and still immersed in his own world.
After Mo was over, Murong Yan announced another thing: "Today, Yuhua is specially named the national teacher, I am sympathetic to the hard work of the national teacher in the future, and I specially posted the emperor's list, recruited the wife of the national teacher for the national teacher, set up three checkpoints, and finally became the wife of the national teacher, I will personally seal the wife of the first product and give 100,000 taels of gold, in addition, the participants can only be the nobles of the capital." ”
After finishing speaking, Yuhua pretended to thank Murong Yan very distractedly, while Su Xiao was disappointed, thinking that if Yuhua went well, he really got married this time, then it was really impossible for him to be with him.
The ceremony was officially over, and the civil and military officials were discussing today's events while walking, Su Xiao swept away his gloomy expression, pretended to be forced to smile, beckoned to Murong Yan, and hurriedly followed Murong Yan away.
Yuhua looked at Su Xiao's unrelenting appearance, his expression became more and more serious, and he brushed his sleeves away, and the officials who came forward to talk to him and flattered him did not lose face at all, and the officials on the spot looked at each other one by one, showing a disdainful expression in a place that Yuhua couldn't see.
Yuhua naturally doesn't think about this, it's common for her to be unhappy and not give a good face, even in normal times, she has never given others a little face.
Turning to Su Xiao's side, Murong Yan took Su Xiao back to Zhengyang Palace, and entertained her with delicious food and drink, Su Xiao asked about Lianyue, Murong Yan said that he had buried her thickly, and gave some bereavement to Lianyue's family, for a palace maid, Murong Yan can do this as an emperor, it is enough.
And the innocent Xiao Guifei was angry because of the accident at the proximal end of the harem, Murong Yan was angry, and Xiao Tian, who was still grounded, was deprived of the right to associate the six palaces, because there was no queen in the harem, so it could only be managed by the queen mother, Su Xiao couldn't help but mourn for Xiao Tian in his heart, this Xiao Tian was really lying down and was hit by an arrow, and he was very innocent.
Murong Yan asked about Su Xiao's recent situation, and when he thought of Yuhua, he asked, "Xiaoxiao, Yuhua chose the wife of the national teacher this time, will you go?"
"No, it won't. Su Xiao's face suddenly became a little unhappy.
"Why?"
"He doesn't like me. Su Xiao blurted out without hesitation.
"Is that Xiaoxiao likes Brother Yuhua?" Murong Yan endured the bitterness in his heart and continued to ask.
Su Xiao's expression paused slightly, and he continued to knock the melon seeds in his hand without speaking.
Murong Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Since you like it, why don't you go for it?"
"You don't understand. After saying this, Su Xiao dusted off the crumbs of melon seeds in his hand, walked to the couch on the side, lay down, closed his eyes, and said, "I'm tired and want to take a break." ”
"Good. Murong Yan continued to instruct: "Your county lord's mansion is still under construction, in the northern suburbs, the environment over there is quiet and suitable for you, these days, if you want to stay in the palace, you still live in the Pure Heart Courtyard." ”
Su Xiao opened his eyes and said, "No need, I live in Yongning Palace." ”
"It's okay, the queen mother hasn't seen you for a long time, and she often mutters about it. As he spoke, he took out a waist card from his arms and handed it to Su Xiao: "This is the waist card for entering and leaving the palace." You have a good rest. ”
"Thank you. Su Xiao took the waist card, looked at the back of Murong Yan leaving, and always felt that when he came back this time, Murong Yan treated him a little differently.
After Murong Yan left, Su Xiao had a dream, in which Yuhua got married in a red wedding dress, but the bride next to him was not herself, Yuhua looked at the bride with a gentle expression, and hugged the bride into her arms, Su Xiao's heart was sour, and she was drunk at Murong Yan's wedding banquet and lost her mind.
Su Xiao rushed to Yuhua's new house, picked up a dagger and stabbed the bride, the bride fell in a pool of blood, Yuhua looked at herself angrily, picked up the sword and killed herself mercilessly.
Su Xiao woke up from her dream and found that her face was full of tears, and it was difficult to fall asleep.
Walking to the window, looking at the scenery of the moon, his expression was sad, remembering that he was alone in this other world, his eyes were filled with tears again, and the tears that he couldn't stop flowing on his face kept flowing.
It was already late at night, and the cool breeze was blowing, and in this human world that had just entered spring, the coolness suddenly swept over the whole body, even so, Su Xiao still stood alone in front of the window and never left.
