Chapter 21: The Unexpected

Today, the Prime Minister's Mansion of the Eastern Kingdom seems to be a little busy, and the head of the family, Sikong Mingzhu, entered the palace early in the morning to participate in the crown prince's conferral ceremony. Sikong Minxiao stayed at home to count the congratulatory gifts given to the prince by the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Wanchuan accompanied Sikong Minxiao to help.

After reading the gift list, Sikong Minxiao chuckled and looked up and asked Wan Chuan: "Do you know who is the crown prince today?" ”

"Isn't Dongfang Ziyu?" Evening Chuan wondered.

Sikong Minxiao shook his head: "It's Ziyu's brother, Dongfang Tongxiang." ”

"Huh?"

Sikong Minxiao had already guessed Wanchuan's reaction: "Hmm. ”

.

After noon, Sikong Minxiao took Wanchuan into the palace for a banquet. Sikong wore a pink dress today. In the memory of Wanchuan, Sikong has always loved some plain clothes and has never worn colored ones, and today's dress is well-embroidered and can be seen to be made of excellent materials, coupled with Sikong Minxiao's unique cold temperament, she is like a budding lotus flower waiting to be released.

"Don't look at it, your clothes are embroidered by the same person as mine, and they are made of the same material." Sikong Minxiao quipped.

Wan Chuan hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that! The Sikong Palace Lord looks really good in colored clothes, and he can wear more clothes like this in the future. ”

"Poof," these words made Sikong happy, "Call me Sikong, there is no need to add the palace master." I'm not a palace master here. ”

"As for the clothes...... After Ziyu left, I decided to stay widowed for the rest of my life. So plain clothes still have a special meaning for me. Sikong Minxiao was a little sad.

Wanchuan realized that he had said the wrong thing: "Sorry Sikong, I didn't mean to. ”

Sikong looked at Wanchuan with a light smile: "There's nothing that can't be said about this." ”

"Speaking of which, you're much more polite and intelligent than many fairies I know, and seem to have seen a lot of things. Is it because I grew up with Ryujin since I was a child? Sikong Minxiao looked at the ledger that Wan Chuan had made without any mistakes.

Wan Chuan nodded: "Well, I have been studying with my teacher since I was born. In addition to the cultivation of magic, the teacher will also teach some mathematical logic, etiquette and morality. ”

Sikong Minxiao nodded with satisfaction: "Then do you believe it?" Two hundred years ago, Silver Spirit Xingya was charged with betrayal. ”

"......" Wanchuan did not answer.

"The Ratti clan were born to protect them." Sikong Minxiao pondered and looked out the window, "She should have said this to you, right?" I had met her once when I was young, and I didn't believe that she would betray the Three Realms, the Celestial God she had been guarding. I thought that you would also make trouble with the gods like the two brothers and sisters of the Nangong family, but you are much calmer than I imagined, and strive to ascend to the gods. This time I fell into the gods, presumably the answer to finding love is fake, and the news of finding your teacher is true, right? ”

Wanchuan asked himself if he had covered it up well enough this time, but he didn't expect it to be seen through by Sikong Minxiao: "Lethe River will briefly collect the memories of the current world after a person dies, and then as the soul re-enters reincarnation, these memories will also disappear." But the strange thing is that after the death of the predecessor of the Wind God Nangong, his memory did not disappear in the Lechuan River, and even the memory of the rumored defeated Har Ruoya did not disappear. It's that I can't read these memories for some reason, and these memories seem to be locked in the Lethe River by the ancient spiritual power. ”

"So you think that the souls of the wind god Nangong Limin and Harruoya are locked somewhere by the ancient spiritual power?" Sikong Minxiao put his hand to his lips and lowered his head to think seriously.

Evening Kawa replied, "Yes." And in addition to their souls, there should be another person. Because in the Lechuan River, there is a memory of a red fox and the memory of the two of them have been preserved to this day. ”

Sikong Minxiao looked at Wanchuan with a serious face and smiled with satisfaction: "Well, sure enough, her students are amazing every time." I'm not looking for the wrong person, just enjoy this fantasy, maybe it will give you unexpected answers. ”

.

"Miss, it's here." A maid outside the car reminded.

Sikong Minxiao got up and walked to the door: "Let's go, Wanchuan." ”

.

Dongguo Imperial Palace.

As soon as I got off the bus, I was amazed by the magnificent and magnificent architecture. Wan Chuan originally thought that the scale of the Phantom Palace was specially expanded by Sikong Minxiao in order to commemorate Dongfang Ziyu, but he didn't expect that the Dongguo Palace was originally so huge!

As the people of the Guide Palace walked inside, along the brick-red wall, there were really peach blossoms, and the planting position was exactly the same as that of the Phantom Palace! The petals dance in the wind, giving the original solemn palace a touch of softness.

Stepping into the main hall, as soon as Wanchuan followed Sikong into the women's banquet, many women from the family came to toast.

"Today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is enthroned, and Sister Sikong is about to marry the second prince as the princess, it's really a double happiness, Sister Chu Chujing has a cup." A woman in a red dress said.

Sikong nodded lightly and clinked glasses with the woman named Chu Chu.

A woman from a family who followed Chu Chu: "Sister Chu Chu is about to become the crown princess, and she will rely on her sister more in the future." ”

"Don't say these things in front of Sister Sikong, after all, it was Sister Sikong who was able to be the crown princess in the first place, and I was just lucky to marry the eldest prince."

Evening Chuan can see it. This group of people is looking for fault.

Sikong ignored the two and sat down quietly.

Chu Chu immediately sat beside Sikong: "Sister Sikong, what kind of trouble do you have to do, I heard my father say that Prime Minister Sikong originally wanted you to marry the eldest prince, but you were bent on marrying the second prince who is famous for his martial arts." ”

Sikong frowned, "My marriage with the second prince has been decided, and I ask my sister to be cautious." ”

Chu Chu didn't seem to care at all, and pretended to be worried and approached Sikong Minxiao's ear: "But sister, have you heard, the second prince also asked the king to marry a dancing girl from the north last night, and it is said that he was favored last night." ”

Sikong Minxiao's hand holding the cup trembled slightly. Wan Chuan looked at Chu Chu and replied: "Don't say it in front of Sikong about hearsay." Do you know what the crime is for slandering the royal family? ”

Chu Chu looked at Wanchuan a little faced, she thought she was Sikong's maid, but looking at Wanchuan wearing jewelry, she looked like a woman from a family. Chu Chu asked, "Who is this?" ”

.

"King Dongyin has arrived!"
