Taiping

Yan Xu stood in front of the Temple of Heaven after a long absence, looking at the clouds in the sky, but his heart was full of confusion, for the first time, he felt so dazed.

When he was ten years old, he was kidnapped to Xixuan, and he was not afraid, and he never had any hesitation about what he wanted to do, let alone be at a loss.

At the age of fourteen, he did not hesitate to set foot on the land of peace again.

At the age of fifteen, he stayed in front of the gate of the Temple of Heaven that had been preserved for a hundred years, but he was at a loss.

Since he was born, he knows that Yan Xu's life will follow in the footsteps of the Taiping Emperor, and what he wants is the end of his wishes.

I have always thought that I was born for peace, for the mandate of heaven as my own responsibility, preaching to the world, preaching to myself. When that day, after the end really comes, what will I do? When Xixuan and Taiping are truly reunited, what will I live for the rest of my life?

Destiny didn't tell itself, so who will?

Yan Xu hesitated, scared, dazed, worried.

Yes, who is he, the wizard of Taiping, or the queen of Taiping?

"Do you know?" I don't know when a gentle voice came from my ears, and Yan Xu naturally recognized it, because it was the call she had heard in her dreams since she was a child, and it was the face that appeared in her dreams since she was a child.

"The widow's father, the emperor, once told the widow that the country does not need a witch envoy to govern the country, and the government is diligent and loves the people, as long as the people's hearts are stable, the country is naturally stable. “

Yan Xu didn't speak, and listened quietly.

So I asked, "Father, why is there a witch envoy in Taiping?" Father said, "Witch envoy?" Witch envoy carries the mandate of heaven, bears the faith of the people, and the faith of the emperor. At that time, I didn't understand what faith was, but I remembered my father's eyes, faith, is a fetter, a fetter that cannot be let go. In fact, in the emperor's heart, the Mandate of Heaven is just an excuse, just an excuse to move forward or retreat. The country is the people, and all the people don't care about the emperor's name, all they want is stability, and what the courtiers want is appreciation. Long Xiang looked at the sky, and as he spoke, there was no longer the word "widow".

"What about you, you, what do you want, what do you want?" Yan Xu asked lightly.

Long Xiang looked at Yan Xu's deep eyes. He smiled and said, "Do you remember? When you were eight years old, you asked me this question, and now I can tell you that what I want is, you." “

"Me?"

"Yes, you, it's your turn to choose, you want to stay with the widow in the name of the Yan family, and the widow will let the heavenly temple be honored for eternity. Or stay with the widow in the name of the widow's queen?"

"And what can you give me?"

"Me. “

Yan Xu looked at the smiling Long Xiang's outstretched hand.

She looked at the towering and majestic Heavenly Worship Temple, and then at Long Xiang's gentle big hand. She bravely made her choice, her first choice, she put her hand into Long Xiang's big hand.

In the dark, the top of the Temple of Heaven seemed to emit a buzzing roar.

This is fate.

In the Fangfu Palace,

Several screams echoed through the palace.

"Jade Concubine Niangniang, work hard, see the head, hurry, hurry, the child is out. “

"Wow, wow. A loud cry cut through the silence.

"Mother, it's a boy, it's a boy. Yujiao shouted excitedly, with tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Hmm. Wang Yu looked at the child with a pale face, and his eyes were full of happiness.

"Niangniang, are you okay?" Mr. Wang was waiting outside, insisting that he wanted to see the child. Yujiao said: "The lord and the lady are also on the way here." “

"Well, what about the emperor?" asked Wang Yu.

"The emperor's will has been waiting outside the door, Wang Xi Gonggong said that the emperor has named the little prince as the prince and given a mansion. The queen mother prepared a baptism for the little prince in the temple of worship, and waited until the little prince held it in a hundred days. “

"Well, the emperor's favor to us is too much, I, I'm going to thank you. “

"Niangniang, don't think about it so much, let's have a good rest first. The emperor specially explained, let the mother rest, in this harem, you are the only mother, you can't hurt your body, wait until you are well, go to the temple to worship, you must be blessed. “

"Okay, I'll make a note of that. “

"Oh, the little prince is crying again. “

"Come, I'll take a look. “

"Yes, Jade Lady. “

In the imperial city, there was a loud cry of a baby, which did not stop for a long time, and the sound passed through half of the palace and echoed in the empty temple of worship.

In the sky, colorful clouds appeared, which seemed to herald the arrival of a new story.
