Chapter 119: Birthday Gift
Perhaps because he saw Nanxu at first glance, and talked to him about the old incident in Jing'an for three years, Xie Zhao didn't sleep very well all night.
She dreamed of that night again.
In fact, since her trauma basically healed more than half a year ago, she hadn't dreamed of that night for a long time.
The scene in the dream is almost exactly the same as that night, and it is clearly reproduced frame by frame.
On the fifth day of the first month of the third year of Jing'an, the night was dark and the sky was also dark.
Dark clouds obscured the night sky, and when you looked up, you couldn't see the moon or the stars.
There was only a snowstorm in the sky, smashing heads and faces on people's bodies and faces.
The snowflakes are not heavy, and they don't hurt when they hit the face, but they feel light, itchy, and cool, which is interesting.
- What's more, Fu Jingci doesn't feel cold.
As the first sword immortal of the Southern Dynasty in the Xuan Realm of Immortals, her internal strength has already been completed.
Two years ago, she created the Inner Strength Heart Sutra "Kala Heart Sutra", so that the inner breath true qi in her dantian could run endlessly, how could she be cold?
The restrictions imposed on the human body by the Severe Cold Department were completely abandoned as early as when she stepped into the Void Realm at the age of thirteen.
Not to mention the clear snow of Jiangnan in Zhaoge City, even if it is the cold and biting snow of Kunling Snow Mountain, she will not feel uncomfortable.
So, she playfully stretched out her hand to catch a few small snowflakes, turned back to the little girl who was half a step behind her, and smiled:
"Luo'er, our Zhaoge hasn't seen heavy snow in years."
Nanchao Tianchen rarely saw such a large snow scene, but because the temperature was not too cold, the snowflakes could not stand at all.
The snowflakes melted in her hands, and I think it was also because of the hot temperature of her palms.
Wan Luo'er seemed to be wandering, and she always looked like she didn't belong at night.
At this time, she was suddenly called by the eldest princess of Tianchen, and she raised her head and said "ah", as if she had not reacted yet.
Fu Jingci looked at her amusedly.
"What's the fuss? Now they are all one of the four concubines, why do they still look childish and stupid. β
Listening to her kind joke, Wan Luo'er also came back to her senses, but she still looked in poor spirits.
Fu Jingci looked closely, and actually saw a rare irritability and anxiety on her face.
"What's wrong with you?"
Fu Jingci frowned and stopped, and asked strangely, "Could it be that you quarreled with Your Majesty?" β
"How, how. No, His Majesty has always treated me very well. β
Wan Luo'er pulled the corners of her lips and smiled, but no matter how you look at the smile, there is a trace of weakness and uncertainty.
"I guess too, Your Majesty treats women gently, especially with you as a child."
Fu Jingci crossed his arms and tilted his head to look at her with a smile.
"However, you kid has never been able to hide things in his heart, and he has always been open-minded and doesn't care about trivial matters.
If it weren't for the quarrel with His Majesty, then why is it so abnormal today. β
Concubine Wan Shu, who had been in a high position at the age of seventeen, was silent for a moment, she lowered her head, and almost didn't dare to look at the breezy and moon-like eldest princess in front of her.
The fingers she hid in the sleeves of the palace skirt unconsciously pulled into her palms, and the sound was like mosquitoes.
"Chitose, Luo'er is really fine."
Fu Jingci retracted his laughter, and suddenly frowned and asked:
"Could it be that the new queen mother of the palace is embarrassing you?"
Otherwise, how could this little girl, who has always been honest and transparent, look so restless, frightened and uneasy.
However, it was only a few days before the new queen entered the palace.
Although Fu Jingci didn't know much about this new queen before, she wouldn't be so frivolous and set rules for Luo'er, an old man who had served the emperor for many years, just after entering the palace, right?
But looking at Luo'er's situation, it is very similar to the appearance of being embarrassed and entangled in his heart, but he doesn't dare to speak to others.
"Nope!"
Wan Luo'er replied very quickly this time, perhaps because she was afraid that Fu Jingci would misunderstand, so she hurriedly said:
"Chitose, Luo'er just didn't sleep well last night, so she was a little out of energy.
By the way, I heard from the palace people that His Royal Highness left the palace yesterday in order to prepare a birthday gift for His Majesty, and returned today, and I think I'm a little sleepy and tired here, or else."
She knew it couldn't be, but she still looked at her with a look of hope.
"Why don't you go to Penglai Hall with me to take a rest? I sent a message to Your Majesty, and said that we would go later. β
Wan Luo'er overheard a terrible thing today, although she didn't know the truth, she didn't know whether it was true or not, and she didn't dare to say anything nonsense.
But there is one thing that Wan Luo'er heard clearly, that is, as long as it is worn closely, it can be invulnerable to all poisons, and it is placed in Penglai Hall today.
But earlier when "Skystar" was sent over, the incident happened suddenly, and she had no chance to secretly take out "Skystar".
If Chitose is willing to go with her to the Penglai Hall to rectify for a while, she can take the opportunity to see if she can steal that thing and put it in Chitose's sachet.
After the dinner was over, she quietly took the "Heavenly Star" back and put it back in Penglai Hall where it was hidden, and she might not be discovered.
As long as tonight is over, as long as tonight is over.
Maybe everything will turn around!
That person won't. Make a big mistake.
Fu Jingci looked at her with a smile, shook his head and said:
"How? I'm going to go to Zhaohua Hall to get the newly asked 'baby' at this time, and I just asked the wounded bird to take the first step to help me send it back first.
I searched for it for a long time before I found it, and I left the palace to get it.
This thing is to congratulate His Majesty on his wedding, and secondly, to wish him a happy birthday, I think he should like it. β
The birthday gift she prepared this year is the long-lost jade seal of the former dynasty!
More than 800 years ago, this thing was lost in the turbulent times and wars, and she has been secretly searching for a long time over the years, and there is only news recently.
Originally, the person who was doing the work planned to wait for the inner disciples of the Shentai Palace to go down the mountain to answer after the tenth day of the first month, so that it would be more secure, so as not to encounter any accidents and lose heavy treasures.
But a few days ago, Fu Jingci had a little trouble with his younger brother, which made His Majesty unhappy again.
Therefore, she decided not to wait any longer, and personally left Zhaoge to pick it up, and strive to bring back the heirloom jade seal as soon as possible.
She thought that if she could present the heirloom jade seal of the previous dynasty to the family banquet on His Majesty's birthday, he would surely be happier too.
With this happiness, he may not remember another "Luo Shu Mantra" known as the "Mandate of Heaven".
That thing is evil and easy to destroy people's hearts, and it is not suitable for His Majesty to touch.
Fortunately, everything was as Fu Jingci expected, she left Beijing alone early yesterday morning, galloping fast for two days and one night, and even eating and sleeping were solved immediately.
Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life, and I rushed back before His Majesty's Qianqiu Night Banquet tonight.
She had previously handed this thing over to Lu Shuqi outside the city gate to bring it back, and she was alone after entering the city, but she chose a good gift box from the shop in the East Market, and prepared it to be used to hold the jade seal for a while.
The original treasure box that installed the jade seal of the country has been lost after more than 800 years, and I don't know where it was lost.
Unexpectedly, she had just bought things and returned to the palace, and before she had time to go to Zhaohua Hall to get the "congratulatory gift", she met Concubine Wan Luoer first.
The forced smile on Wan Luo'er's face was almost unbearable.
She stepped forward and grabbed Fu Jingci's arm with a bit of rudeness, and a trace of anxiety flashed in her eyes.
"Chitose, just come with me, Luo'er hasn't seen you for a long time...... The palace was very boring, and Luo'er wanted to hear Chitose tell the story outside. β
Fu Jingci looked at the girl's gaze dotingly.
Although she is arrogant, she has always had no arrogance with the people around her, and she is also very easy-going and indulgent, but this time she still rejected her apologetically.
"If you want to hear about the rivers and lakes outside, what's so difficult, I'll go to the Penglai Hall of the East Palace tomorrow and tell you about it for a day, as long as you're not bored. But today."
She looked at the sky, then shook her head slightly, and laughed at her:
"Let's leave it for today, if we go late, your majesty will be angry again.
He is a person, the more light and light the surface of the anger, the more stormy the bottom of his heart. I'm scared. β
Wan Luo'er was almost crying, and she wanted to persuade again.
"Chitose, you'reβ"
"-Yo, Chitose, Niangniang, you two are here. It can be easy to find minions. β
They were interrupted by a hurried voice.
The voice and people are very familiar, it turned out to be Yuan Ai, the chief supervisor of the internal supervision in front of Emperor Jing.
