Chapter 97: The First Year of Zhaohua
In the first year of Weihe, the third day of the Lunar New Year, it was night.
In the sleepless city of Zhaoge Imperial City, a unique palace banquet was held tonight, and the momentum was extraordinarily grand.
In order to congratulate the Empress of the Emperor Chao Tianchen Princess Fu Jingci in the realm of immortals, becoming the first sword of the Southern Dynasty "Chitose Sword Immortal", Emperor Wei has been radiant and reborn in the past three months.
Emperor Tianchen not only officially changed the name of this year's dynasty three months ago, but also changed the name of Tianchen from "Weihe Thirteenth Year" to "Zhaohua First Year";
What's even more exaggerated is that in the past three months, the Tianchen Dynasty has announced to the world, and has also granted amnesty to the world, and thousands of temples in 48 county capitals of the Southern Dynasty have lit 6,000 lamps to pray for the princess;
Not only that, the people spontaneously ran to tell each other, and passed on ten to hundred, and His Royal Highness Princess Tianchen broke through the realm of immortals and became the first immortal power in the Southern Dynasty to ask with a sword.
In the words of the mean ghost in Nanxu, this year, all the living creatures on the territory of the Southern Dynasty are estimated to have no one who does not know that Emperor Wei Fu Shang gave birth to a sword fairy daughter.
- Don't say it's a living thing, I'm afraid that even the dead ghosts who happened to pass by the Southern Dynasty will be told one by one by lifting their ears, and no "person" will be spared.
In this evaluation, the goddess could only pinch her nose and admit it at that time.
What can she do? After all, Emperor Wei's handling of this matter is only good for her, and there is no harm.
She had hoped that her reputation as the heir of Emperor Tianchen could be gradually diluted, and her father was now eager to beat gongs and drums to publicize her becoming a "sword immortal" to the world, and this result would do more good than bad for her.
Of course, she really felt that she was so embarrassed!
It is understandable that the emperor wants to use this to promote the prestige of the country, but it is really unnecessary to waste money and money like this.
But when I thought about it, I looked at the folk lanterns, the people's eyes were bright, their hearts were happy, and they were honored, and Fu Jingci had nothing to say.
Come on, since it is a matter of love between the monarch and the people, why should she pour cold water?
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the Zhaoge Imperial City is just like its name "the city that never sleeps", Kong Ming lanterns fill the sky, and the city shines like the hustle and bustle of the day, Zhaoge has truly become a city that never sleeps on this night.
Presumably more than a hundred miles away, on top of the towering divine tower of Shentai Palace, Nanxu saw the bright lights here, and was about to say her sour words again.
What would he say, she could think of it with her eyes closed, nothing more than that-
"Yo, such a big show? I didn't expect it! I think you might as well really go back to Zhaoge and be a golden princess, in case the proverb comes true, you can still be an empress if you don't know it.
No matter how bad you are, while you are still young, hug the Buddha's feet to make up for the rules and etiquette of the noble lady's door valve, maybe you will be saved in two years, and you can say that you are a noble and good family with a deep background, and pick a handsome little horse. ”
Fu Jingci pursed his lips, but the trend of the corners of his lips was upward. It was a knowing smile that only came when she talked about the people close to her.
She tilted her head thoughtfully and asked:
"You say, what is Nanxu doing at this time? He's such a person, it's really boring, I invited him to come to the city that never sleeps for the New Year, but he still wants to take Joe unwillingly! ”
She didn't know what she thought, and slammed her right fist into the palm of her left hand with a "snap", crying blood and condemning the high priest of Shentai Palace hundreds of miles away with great indignation.
"-You don't see it! At that time, I was telling him about the prosperity of Zhaoge, and the result?
He looked at me like he was looking at a retarded person, and he didn't forget to taunt, 'How old are you?' Isn't it still a three-year-old child who is going to see the lantern festival on the Yuan Festival?'
Listen, is this what he says by a man?! ”
The corners of Lu Que's lips were lightly raised, and he seemed to think of the expression and demeanor of the priest of Nanxu when he said this, so he looked like he was going to smile or not.
However, the eleven-year-old boy who was by Fu Jingci's side and was also wearing the Shentai Palace's divine robe was slightly stunned when he heard this, and he looked a little in a dilemma.
“...... Goddess, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, you have to ask the heavens to pray for blessings, and the high priest has to prepare for the sacrifice and blessing before that, in fact...... Even you shouldn't have left the shrine.
The High Priest has already said that you are now like a piece of porcelain that has not yet been fired and is wet by the water vapor of the south of the Yangtze River. ”
The little boy didn't know how to read people's faces, completely ignored the unhappy expression of his goddess, and continued to add with a serious face:
"The high priest also said, It is like someone who suddenly reaches out and flicks one finger of the porcelain, and the porcelain, which looks flawless on the outside, is afraid that it will be shattered—"
"Oh, my little ancestor!"
Fu Jingci hugged the child's shoulders with a miserable face, successfully blocking his next broken thoughts.
"-'The High Priest said', 'The High Priest also said', you shouldn't have been brainwashed by Nanxu, right?
I used to be a clever child, why haven't you seen you for a few years now, you have been raised by Nanxu to be such a small and old-fashioned appearance.
My miserable little gray ...... It's all my fault, why didn't I take you with me when I went out to practice swords? ”
Fu Jingci looked remorseful: Look! It seems that this kid did not escape the "fate" of many Dao children and outer disciples in Shentai Palace in the end, and evolved into a high priest's brainless blow.
Orange Emblem had a handsome little face, and he couldn't help but laugh in his heart, but he still managed to barely maintain the dignity of a young monk.
He thought of something, looked at the goddess with a little doubt, and said:
"But...... The high priest said that if the orange emblem had practiced with the goddess back then, I am afraid that it would be a small sapling raised crookedly, and the more it is raised, the more difficult it will be, and it will be as indispensable as the goddess in the future. ”
Damn, why did he just say it?
The high priest said that the goddess was lawless, it was a joke between the brothers and sisters of the same sect, and he was just a little disciple of the sect, and it was really disrespectful to the goddess to relay this kind of arrogant and rude words.
The little boy hung his head in a panic, and quietly glanced up from the end of his eyes, secretly observing the expression of the goddess, as if he was afraid of upsetting the goddess.
However, it seems that the goddess of his family does not care about these red tape.
I saw her crystal clear big fox eyes glaring, her chin raised high, and immediately asserted:
"—you listen to him fart!"
Without outsiders, the goddess didn't need to care about her image at all, and frankly expressed her sneer at the priest's "golden and jade good words".
"He grew up with me, could it be that he himself is crooked?"
The orange emblem was slightly stunned, and it was a little stuck for a while...... It seems that he was persuaded by the fallacies of the goddess again.
Fu Jingci saw the calm and decent road wound finch like a shadow behind him, so as if he had found a second life-saving straw, he pulled the person over, pointed to the swordsman with a smile on the corner of his lips to give an example, and taught by example:
"Na, and your eldest brother Lu, you see, your eldest brother Lu also grew up with me when he was a child, and he has not been separated from Meng Meng for many years, has he also grown crooked? Isn't this a good end of the talent?
Don't you know, wow, he is now the dream lover of many famous ladies in Zhaoge City! Just this time we came back for the New Year, and the girl who gave him Jinpa from his brother in the family doesn't know how many miles! ”
The handsome face of the road wound bird, which has always been square and thoughtful, suddenly became popular.
"—Your Highness the Princess!"
Why is she here again!
