Chapter Twenty-Three: Luo Qingyao's Correct Way to Open
Gongsun Changquan and Zhao Qingsong both agreed that they were not in a hurry to establish the queen, and Li Yu had to put the matter on hold for the time being.
Li Yu suddenly remembered something: "The queen of the former emperor seems to be still in the palace?" ”
On the day when the second prince entered the city, there was a great chaos in the palace, and the concubines and palace maids of the former emperor in the harem thought that the second prince had rebelled, and all those who could run ran away.
Now all that is left are the former emperor's favorite concubine and the unfavored queen.
The former doesn't run because he doesn't panic.
The second prince's mother, what is she running away? As a result, he now ended up in the same fate as the second prince and was imprisoned.
As for the latter......
"The queen of the first emperor......" Gongsun Changquan sighed, "Empress Xiao is also a poor person. ”
Zhao Qingsong also sighed, if he remembered it well, Queen Xiao's life could be summed up in four words: miserable and desolate.
She was originally the youngest daughter of the Xiao family, twenty years ago, the Xiao family held the power of the court, and above the court, it can be said that she can call the wind and rain.
coincided with the death of the previous queen, and the Xiao family immediately sent their little daughter to the court, at that time the emperor was not mediocre, but quite incompetent.
Due to the influence of the Xiao family in the court, the former emperor was forced to give up the favored Hua Guifei as the queen, and the little daughter of the Xiao family naturally became the new queen.
It's just that she, the queen, is very unpopular, after all, the former emperor was forced to stand, probably because she felt that she had lost face, and she was snubbed all the year round, and she didn't even want to see her.
The Xiao family only uses her as a weight to consolidate their position, and since she married into the deep palace, she is destined to be miserable and miserable, and she is alone in the empty house.
This is not the worst, what is even worse is that the Xiao family fell soon after, because of the opposition to the first emperor Xiuxian asked, the forbidden army raided the house.
The Xiao family may not have reacted until they died, where did the first emperor get the courage to move on them at that time.
Since then, Empress Xiao has completely become a lonely widow in the deep palace, and Concubine Hua has fallen out of favor, not to mention her, the queen who has been neglected.
It used to be fine, at least I could go home occasionally to see, even if I didn't feel the affection, but where were the people.
Nowadays, the home is gone, the people are gone.
Alone, alone.
Pitiful, pathetic, pathetic.
Gongsun Changquan joked: "Before you know it, you will become the Empress Dowager Xiao." ”
"Well, Empress Dowager Xiao." Zhao Qingsong agreed.
Li Yu glanced at Gongsun Changquan and then at Zhao Qingsong, and smiled: "Empress Dowager Xiao." ”
In a few words, she set the miserable and lonely life of the little daughter of the Xiao family in the second half of the year.
……
In Kunning Palace, Xiao Wan'er sat alone in front of the dressing mirror, holding a wooden comb in her hand, slowly combing her long and smooth hair.
She wore a dark palace skirt embroidered with a golden phoenix pattern, and wore a gorgeous phoenix crown symbolizing the queen's status, with thrushes and lips, and flowers on the mirror.
Xiao Wan'er is no longer young, but the collagen on her face makes her not look old at all, but adds a unique charm of a mature woman to her flawless beauty in the prosperous world.
After painting her makeup, Xiao Wan'er stood up and walked around in Kunning Palace wearing a fox fur.
Dressed a little heavy in winter, walking into the small courtyard, Xiao Wan'er lowered her eyebrows and looked at the flowerbed covered by snow, her eyebrows and eyes as soft as moonlight were mixed with a touch of sorrow, and there was a unique charm.
After walking through every part of Kunning Palace, Xiao Wan'er returned to the dresser, took off the gorgeous phoenix crown, and took off the makeup that had taken a long time to dress up.
The green silk is scattered, and the beauty holds a wooden comb and silently combs her long hair.
At a certain moment, the wooden comb fell to the ground, and Xiao Wan'er covered her heart, her face slightly pale.
"Ahem, ahem."
It's time to take your medicine.
Xiao Wan'er looked back at the empty Kunning Palace, the palace maids had already run away, and no one boiled medicine for her.
◇——◇
Prince's Mansion, Mo Ying stared at Luo Qingyao vigilantly, this guy has been getting bolder and bolder recently.
When I came before, I knew to talk to the doorman and let me announce it, but now I broke in directly, and I didn't say hello!
Luo Qingyao was stared at and explained: "Miss Mo, don't look at me like this, I didn't go to the front door because I was in a hurry." ”
Mo Ying nodded, looking like you said I listened: "Well, then what?" ”
Luo Qingyao's voice was a little stiff: "I really have something urgent to ask Senior Mo." ”
"Xiaobai." Mo Ying turned her head and looked at Mo Bai, who was staring at her palms motionless, and said with a hint of vinegar: "Fairy Luo has something very important to tell you!" ”
Mo Bai tilted his head and handed the little golden dragon in his hand to Mo Ying to show her.
"What?" Mo Ying turned her head unhappily.
was woken up in the early morning and found that Mo Bai and Luo Qingyao were messing around in front of her bed, so it was strange that she could be happy.
Mo Bai's face was sleepy, and he pinched the little golden dragon in his hand, and the latter was lying on Mo Bai's palm softly, looking like he had been played.
Luo Qingyao relieved the siege and said: "Senior Mo, Miss Mo is mortal and invisible. ”
"Can't see anything?" Mo Ying was startled, "Xiaobai has something in his hand?" ”
Unseen?
Mo Bai lowered his head and thought for a moment, he leaned towards Mo Ying's side, raised his free hand, and lightly touched his index finger on Mo Ying's eyebrows.
"Now?" Mo Bai sent the little golden dragon in his hand to Mo Ying's eyes again.
"Wow! What is it? Bugs? The ink warbler was taken aback, and after a closer look, she found that it was somewhat familiar, and it looked quite similar to the little white dragon, but the color was different.
Luo Qingyao was amused by Mo Ying's reaction, she forced a smile and said, "Miss Mo, this is not a worm, this is the fortune of the country, also called dragon qi." ”
"National fortune," Mo Ying didn't understand very well, "Dragon Qi?" ”
But it didn't prevent her from asking: "Why does dragon qi appear in Xiaobai's hands?" ”
"Because someone wants to tie you to Yan Guo," Luo Qingyao's expression was grim, "Once luck enters the body, your fate will be closely related to Yan Guo's fortune in the future, although it will not reach the point of humiliation and death, but it will more or less affect you." ”
In the clouds and fog that the ink warbler listened to, what is more or less influential? Can't the immortals speak accurately and clearly?
Mo Ying asked, "So you are in a hurry to come over because it has something to do with this dragon qi?" ”
Luo Qingyao nodded: "Almost, the national fortunes of Yan were originally very unstable, but when Li Yu ascended the throne this morning, the national fortunes of Yan suddenly skyrocketed, and even had the appearance of prosperity. ”
Recalling the golden dragon that was showing off in the sky in the morning, Luo Qingyao's gaze fell on the dragon man behind Mo Bai, and the pale golden horns were particularly eye-catching.
"Originally, I thought that Mo seniors accepted the binding of the national fortune, but now it seems that it ......"
Xiu Xian asked, what he cultivates is otherworldly, and he is free to ask for it, and the immortals are already detached from the ordinary, so how can they be contaminated with the mundane national fortune and not be free.
Immortals can go out of the mountains to save the world, but they will never easily bind themselves to the world.
"So Xiaobai," Mo Ying realized, "are you discussing with Fairy Luo about dragon qi?" ”
Mo Bai nodded, he didn't understand what this thing was, it felt familiar but unfamiliar.
I was curious and wanted to study it, but it happened that Luo Qingyao ran over, thinking that the local immortals should know about this thing, so he pulled her to solve it.
Then, it was seen by the ink warbler who woke up.
"Then what's the use of this dragon qi?
Xiaobai, didn't you give Xiaolongren a meal?
Did you find anything? ”
The warbler was curious.
Mo Bai shook his head, except that the horns of the puppet dragon man became a little dazzling, he really didn't find any other effect.
"There is a role, but it is not a reaction here," Luo Qingyao said: "The luck was devoured by the dragon seniors, and it was bound to the dragon predecessors, and the dragon predecessors themselves were strong, and they fed the national fortunes, so that the national fortunes skyrocketed, and there was a prosperous appearance." ”
"So?" Mo Ying still doesn't understand very well.
Mo Bai realized, in short, he was a loss.
The loss is that there is no expertise.
"There will be a decree of reward in a moment.
Senior Mo, you accidentally bound the dragon qi to the mount, but the ink girl did not bind to the national fortune.
In this way, you and Yanguo are at the point of separation, and the future of Yanguo will not affect you. ”
Luo Qingyao suggested:
"You can accept the reward generously, after all, it is something that is sent for free, and you don't take it for nothing."
Mo Ying was surprised: "Fairy Luo, aren't you the princess of Yanguo?" Isn't it okay for you to help us like this? ”
Luo Qingyao's face was calm, and her voice was faint: "I have long abandoned my identity in the world. ”
Mo Ying made a sudden killing move: "Then you still live in the second prince's mansion, and you still use the identity of the princess to come to the prince's mansion?" ”
Luo Qingyao was caught off guard by the sudden questioning, and stroked her long hair in embarrassment, showing embarrassment.
Mo Ying stared at Luo Qingyao's pink cheeks, the corners of her mouth rose, and her heart suddenly became much more comfortable.
As Luo Qingyao expected, not long after the canonization arrived, the servants of the prince's mansion came to report: "Shangxian, there is a father-in-law outside, holding a holy decree in his hand, saying that he wants to see Miss Mo and you." ”
Mo Bai and Mo Ying looked at each other, and they thought Luo Qingyao's suggestion was quite good.
'See...... In order to please the immortals, Li Yu actually surrendered his identity like this. ’
Luo Qingyao followed the two who left and watched the excitement.
She thought that Li Yu's self-surrender as an emperor was already rare in the world.
Until she saw that her father-in-law, who was holding the holy decree, knelt on one knee with a moving face, presented the holy decree with both hands, and sincerely asked Mo Ying to accept the holy decree.
Only then did she realize how kneeling and licking Li Yu could behave in the face of immortal fate.
originally had a plan to take it, but Mo Ying was frightened by her father-in-law's commotion and didn't dare to take it.
However, she finally accepted the decree in the tearful request of her father-in-law.
After all, his father-in-law was crying and shouting for help, if Mo Ying didn't take it, he might not be able to see tomorrow's sun when he went back this time.
In order for her father-in-law to see the sun tomorrow, Mo Ying "reluctantly" accepted the holy decree.
It's a lifesaver.
Win the seventh-level floating slaughter.
Mo Ying, who has become the lord of a county, thought happily in his heart.
"The county lord of Anyang...... Anyang ......" Mo Ying shook her head, "Where is Anyang?" ”
Luo Qingyao said: "It's not far, the capital is a hundred miles to the east." ”
Mo Ying was surprised: "So far? I don't need to go there, do I? And this fiefdom is a county, what is a county? ”
"No, Li Yu can't wait for you to stay in the capital, how can he let you go to Anyang." Luo Qingyao patiently explained Mo Ying's doubts, "As for this county fiefdom, it is probably Anyang City plus dozens of cities around it, right?" ”
She said bluntly: "Li Yu has really invested a lot of money in order to please you, and that county in Anyang is the richest area in Yanguo." ”
"Really?"
Mo Ying blinked her eyes, looking at the pile of gold ingots on the table, she always felt a little unrealistic.
"It also says to send a mansion."
"It's up to you to choose, you've lived in the Prince's Mansion for so long, if Miss Mo likes it, the Prince's Mansion can be renamed Mofu tomorrow."
Mo Ying looked at Luo Qingyao, puzzled in her heart, "Fairy Luo, why do you understand so well?" ”
Luo Qingyao smiled modestly: "I just read more books." ”
Mo Ying's eyes were full of excitement, she decided to read more in the future, not to force her to understand everything like Luo Qingyao, she only hoped that she could answer Mo Bai when he needed it, so that Mo Bai would not ask other women.
"Prince's Mansion, no, hot springs, don't."
Mo Bai spoke suddenly, shook his head, and said slowly: "Moreover, it's not suitable, look at the stars." ”
Mo Ying stayed for a while, a warm current swam in her heart, and she couldn't help but smile.
Mo Bai took her words to heart.
"Hot springs? Is it one of those natural hot pools? ”
Luo Qingyao had seen her in Kunlun Ruins, where she often went to take a bath, and sometimes with Master.
Speaking of which, Luo Qingyao vaguely remembered that when she was young, she also stared at her master's body and drooled.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that when you first see Mo Bai, you are not very ashamed.
"......" always felt that something was wrong with the logic.
Putting aside the distracting thoughts, Luo Qingyao continued: "There is probably no such thing in the capital, but I know the places suitable for stargazing. ”
◇——◇
In the far north, the streamer is flying south.
After flying over the city wall, the white cloud led by him stopped, and above the white cloud, Luo Yunxi's breath was unstable, and there was a thick tiredness between his cold eyebrows.
The golden body of the red-robed monk was dim, like a light bulb that had run out of power, sickly.
He sighed: "Amitabha, I didn't expect that the poor monk would also run away from the wilderness one day. ”
"The Great Sun Burns the Sky ......"
The purple-robed Taoist covered his chest and coughed violently, spit out a mouthful of blood, his complexion improved a lot, and he was afraid for a while when he recalled the scorching sun that fell from the sky.
"The sun, the sun."
Mo Beitian looked up at the white sun in the sky, he wrapped himself in the black mist, not letting any ray of sunlight fall on him, the burning pain left an indelible impression on him.
"Fellow Daoists, I have gained a lot from going north this time."
Luo Yunxi's voice was cold and clear.
The sense of crisis that arose when fleeing disappeared after crossing the city wall, and the other party did not want to cross the border for the time being, but just drove them out.
"I'll just leave it here." Leaving a farewell word, Luo Yunxi flew towards the southeast in the clouds.
The purple-robed Daoist took a breath and shouted, "Fairy Yunxi, where are you going?" ”
Mo Beitian hid in the black fog and sneered: "Heh, Iron Orchid, you shouldn't be dizzy, Kunlun Ruins is in the southwest!" ”
Bai Yun froze for a moment, but a breath of white sword light slashed in.
The feminine man had already prepared and easily dodged.
He judged in his heart: "The sword light is weak, and it seems that the iron orchid is not lightly injured." ’
The red-robed monk is not like Mo Beitian, he was beaten badly and had to itch and jump, he folded his hands: "Amitabha, the poor monk has gone back to Hezhou." ”
Mo Beitian: "Stinky monk, go back and coat yourself with gold, otherwise you won't be in the hall next time you meet." ”
The red-robed monk smiled:
"Thank you Lord Mo for your concern, the Poor Monks."
He turned to the purple-robed Taoist and said:
"Master Zhang, the poor monk farewell."
