96: Candle in the Cave Room
As the saying goes, it is well said. The four joys of life are: a long drought and a rainstorm, and a foreign country. The cave room spends candle night, when the gold list is inscribed.
Xiao Sheng was not a farmer, nor was he a parent official in charge of local affairs. It doesn't rain all day, and it has nothing to do with him. He had never left Luojing and traveled far away, so it was impossible for him to meet his old acquaintance in another country.
As for the title of the gold list, as a prince, there is no need to take the imperial examination, let alone the title of the gold list. Among the four joys in life, the only thing that will happen to Xiao Sheng is the only thing left with the flower candle in the cave room.
However, Xiao Sheng is only fifteen years and eight months old this year. There are still four months to turn sixteen. According to the rules of the Dahao Dynasty, a man who has reached the age of sixteen will perform a crown and a salute, and only after the salute will he be considered an adult. Generally speaking, even if you want to marry a wife, it is after you are officially an adult. Therefore, Xiao Sheng originally thought that such a thing as a candle in the cave room was still far away from him, and he didn't need to think about it in three or five years.
Unfortunately, in life, plans can't keep up with the fast changes. Xiao Sheng couldn't have imagined that he hadn't even held the crown dress ceremony, and he was already about to usher in the night of candles in the cave room.
The day after the Queen's 40th birthday banquet ended. In the Dahao Palace, in the Ten Princes' Mansion, the courtyard where the fourteenth prince Xiao Sheng lived, was full of lights. All the portals inside and outside are all labeled with the word "Xixi" in big red. The window paper was also replaced with new red paper, and the beams and columns of the house were wrapped with red silk. Although it is a little vulgar, it is also joyful, which makes people happy from the bottom of their hearts when they look at it.
Needless to say, the person who presided over the arrangement of all this was none other than the father-in-law of Guancang Customs. He was busy, running up and down, sweating profusely. An old face that used to look like an air-dried orange peel has become like a blooming chrysanthemum. From the perspective of outsiders, I don't know whether Guan Gonggong is crying or laughing.
Speaking of which, in fact, Xiao Sheng is not marrying today. It's just that last night, at the queen's birthday banquet, it was originally said in advance that it was just a competition to win pearls. But unexpectedly, in order to please the queen, the prince made a temporary suggestion to increase the stakes. Whoever wins in the competition can not only get the Netherworld Pearl, but also get Luojing's No. 1 Oiran Yu Xuanji as a concubine.
Therefore, early this morning, the Department of Teaching Workshop sent someone to send Yu Xuanji over.
Let's be honest. Regarding this matter, Xiao Sheng is actually a little ridiculous. Originally, he wanted to explain to Guan Gonggong what was the relationship between himself and Yu Xuanji. But as soon as he spoke, he was immediately interrupted by the impatient Guan Gonggong.
The old eunuch, who has always been obedient to the little master, shows a rare majesty today. As half an elder, Father-in-law Guan "ordered" Xiao Sheng not to talk nonsense, not to move, obediently obey orders, where to sit and wait, don't come to make trouble. When the hour comes, just enter the cave room on time.
Honest people suddenly exert power, and the effect is not generally good. Xiao Sheng couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead, he didn't dare to say anything at the moment, and as instructed, he obediently went over and sat down, and tried his best to play the role of a wooden man.
Finally, after doing all this red tape once, it was finally time to enter the cave room. Guan Canghai didn't know if he had drunk too much, so he actually cried with a handful of snot and tears.
In the midst of the howling and crying, Guan Gonggong pushed Xiao Sheng's back hard, forcibly pushed the fourteenth prince into the cave room, and choked up: "Guifei Niangniang, Your Highness has finally grown up and is going to start a family." The old slave died without regrets, and died without regrets. Then "呯~" slammed the door shut and went all the way away.
Xiao Sheng is angry and funny. He sighed and came back to his senses, only to see a jug of wine and two glasses on the table. Next to them are two pairs of burning dragon and phoenix candles. Under the candlelight, I saw a graceful figure, wearing a phoenix crown, wearing a xia veil, and a red silk face, sitting on the edge of the bed shyly. There was also a brand new gold-lacquered toilet on the bed. There are several dried fruits such as lotus seeds, lilies, red dates, chestnuts, and peanuts in it, implying that you will be born early.
In an instant, Xiao Sheng was in a trance in his consciousness. It seems that the flower candle in front of him is really his own cave room, and the woman in front of him seems to be the partner who will spend his life with him.
However, it was only a momentary trance. After thousands of tempered tenacity and determination, Xiao Sheng immediately regained his consciousness again. The Fourteenth Prince shook his head and smiled: "Military advisor, sometimes, I really don't know what you think. Isn't this kind of game of candles in the cave room fun?"
"Hehe, I think it's fun. The female military division's slightly sly voice came from under the red silk on her head. At first glance, it sounds like it is a little less majestic and calm than the previous Jade Xuanji, but it is a little more agile and vibrant. She paused and chuckled, "Your Highness, the auspicious time has arrived. Why don't you remove your hijab?"
Xiao Sheng sighed and said, "Strategist, you are dedicated to pursuing the way of heaven. The reason why I came to assist me was just to fulfill my destiny. How can the love and love between the worldly people be taken seriously in your heart? I, Xiao Sheng, have not been stupid enough to get home, so I won't even be able to see through this. ”
Yu Xuanji smiled lightly: "Your Highness, you are only half right in what you said. The descendants of Tianjimen in the past generations have indeed pursued the way of heaven and transcended the world as their ideals. But the way of heaven is also humanity, and the destiny of heaven is human life. The love in the world may not be true and completely absent from my heart. Your Highness said that you can see through my heart, but how can I not see through Your Highness's heart? So, Your Highness, now you have two paths to choose. ”
Xiao Sheng asked curiously, "Oh, which two roads?"
Yu Xuanji said slowly: "The first way, I give up all supernatural powers, and I also give up all wisdom and calculations. Tonight is the night of candles in the cave room for the two of us. From now on, Your Highness will have a little wife who loves you with all her heart. The price is to lose the Celestial Machine Star as your military advisor. ”
Xiao Sheng said in a condensed voice: "Then the second way is business as usual." Accompanying me is still the Heavenly Machine. And tonight's candles in the cave room are just real and fake, right? Very good, I'll choose the second way. ”
"Oh, Your Highness, don't you think about it carefully?" Yu Xuanji's voice suddenly became extremely soft and tactful, making people itch from the bones at first glance. "Your Highness has the destiny of heaven, and in the future, you will not worry that there will be no strategists around you to give advice, and you are not afraid of the lack of strange people to help. Jade Xuanji is not irreplaceable. ”
Perhaps, I will really get a little wife who loves me with all my heart, but to me, it is just a stranger, not what I really want. ”
Xiao Sheng smiled, still categorically: "Strategist, I know what I really want. So let's not talk about this anymore. ”
"Your Highness, you are so greedy. Perhaps, one day in the future, His Highness will regret it. But it's also possible that I'm the one who regrets it? Even if the Tianji Gate claims to be able to peek into the heavens, in fact, it is just a joke. You must know that the heavens are vast, and the manpower is limited, so where is the time to explore the heavens with manpower. ”
Yu Xuanji sighed softly, was silent for a long time, and suddenly reached out and pulled off the red hijab covering her face. took off the phoenix crown and the veil again, and reverted to the Tianji Star who was dressed in plain white clothes, with a cold expression, and a majesty that could not be blasphemed in his tone.
She stood up, walked to the table, poured herself a glass of wine, and drank it down. Slowly put it down and said with a smile: "No matter what, my subordinates always want to congratulate you, His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Xiao Sheng also sat down next to the table, took the wine jug, filled it in another wine glass, gently twisted the wine glass with his fingers, and said with a smile: "What prince? There has never been a second day in the sky, and there is no other lord in the people. Of course, there is only one Son of Heaven, and as the crown prince of the prince, when have you heard that there can be four? Isn't the father the emperor terminally ill and confused?"
"Confused? No. In my opinion, the Son of Heaven is not confused, but sober. Yu Xuanji smiled lightly: "Now in the imperial court, the queen actually has complete power. Although the Son of Heaven has not abdicated, there is definitely not much authority left. That is, under the public, the holy decree of the Son of Heaven can play a role. Otherwise...... How much difference can there be between the decree and the waste paper?"
Xiao Sheng was startled, shook his head and said, "Isn't it?" Recalling the domineering spirit of Gonggong Zhang who said that if he kills someone, he will kill people, and even the queen will avoid him, Xiao Sheng shook his head again and said, "It will never be done." ”
Yu Xuanji smiled slightly and said, "No, we don't have to worry about it at the moment." The most important thing is that as soon as this holy decree comes out and the matter of establishing the four princes becomes a foregone conclusion. With Wen Dahai's assistance, it is believed that it will be easy to recover Huangfuyu and Sima Tianxia and fully integrate the power of the Eastern Wilderness. With such a base area, we can take the opportunity to show our strengths. For you, Your Highness, it couldn't be more advantageous. Merely...... Among them, there is another difficulty. ”
Xiao Sheng asked, "Oh, what's the difficulty?"
"It's a year later, the competition in the Taimiao. Yu Xuanji said in a condensed voice: "To be honest, for this competition, how many chances can you have, Your Highness?"
Xiao Sheng groaned, "Hmm...... Better than starling, there should be no problem. The second brother never made a move, and it was difficult to say what chance he would have. As for the fourth brother......"
Recalling that last night, on the Jinluan Palace, when the Prince of Sword drew his sword out of the sheath and performed the sword dance in public, the majestic power of "sword qi spanning 30,000 miles, and a sword light cold 90 states", Xiao Sheng couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Sword, worthy of being the king of a hundred soldiers." Even if the realm is the same, with a sword in hand, you can naturally hit a high line. A sword master like the fourth brother, even if he is only a Chaos God Grandmaster, I am only less than fifty percent sure at most.
What's more, when the fourth brother was sixteen years old. He is already the first level of a genuine great grandmaster, a master of the Divine Power Realm. The fourth brother is twenty-three years old this year. Could it be that in the past seven years, he has not made any progress at all? In this battle, unless the Golden Phoenix Armor is used, otherwise, it would be a joke to say how much chance I have.
If it's an ordinary contest, then if you can't beat it, you just admit defeat. But now, my father made me one of the four princes, and he simply roasted me on the stove. If I lose this battle and lose my status as the crown prince, then the future will definitely be very bad.
Or which sentence to speak. There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two lords for the people. So no matter who becomes the emperor, he will not be polite to the other three former princes, right? Alas, father, father, you really made us sons miserable. ”
