It was getting late, and the people on the streets were gradually becoming scarce, and a few days ago it was the emperor's draft girl, and the capital was lively for a while.

The emperor of Nanzhao is not lustful, there are few concubines in the palace, and there are basically not a few show girls left in each draft, and these show girls are more here to gild themselves.

Because the male and female defense of Nanzhao is not serious, and there have been several female emperors in the past dynasties, so when the show girls entered the city, the people took to the streets one after another, and commented on the show girls sitting in an open sedan chair, but in the end, it was concluded that the concubine Niangniang in the palace was the best-looking.

"Come on, it seems that this draft is for nothing again, and the emperor must still favor the concubine alone. ”

"Who makes the concubine good-looking, gentle and virtuous, and pities the people, the emperor doesn't favor the concubine. No, in a few months, it will be a sacrifice once a year, and this time it must be the noble concubine Niangniang who will accompany the emperor to worship the heavens. ”

"But the queen's health is really too bad, I heard my little niece who was on an errand in the palace say that the imperial hospital said several times that the queen mother was going to be mourned, and asked the emperor to prepare for the future, but the queen mother survived. ”

Why did the queen hold on like this, the well-informed people at the feet of the Son of Heaven have their own ideas in their hearts, but everyone tacitly understands it, and no one says it.

As of yesterday, the show girls who entered the city for the draft from all over the place finally came, and the corner door in the palace opened for the show girls was also closed.

There is no excitement to see The people are talking about returning to their own lives, and the affairs of the palace are worried about those ministers, as long as it does not affect the days of their wives and children hot kangtou, the concubines in the palace can fight no matter what.

The guards at the city gate were about to close the city gate, when a group of men suddenly broke into the city gate, and the captain of the guard was startled, thinking that it was some kind of assassin, and was about to rush forward with a shout.

Seeing this, the young man at the front of the team hurriedly got off his horse, took out a token from his bosom and threw it to him, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been ordered by the emperor to bring good fortune to His Majesty, and it is a great sin for you to delay time, hurry up and let us in." ”

The captain recognized at a glance that this sign was a token carried by the prince, and when he heard this, he hurriedly beckoned his guards to step aside, and when the team passed, he breathed a sigh of relief, and stepped forward again to close the city gate.

"Captain, what is a good omen?" a young guard who followed him also heard the man's words, and his curiosity was growing in his teens. When the prince's carriage entered the city, the young guards saw at a glance a large cart firmly guarded in the middle of the convoy, and the prince's own carriage was not so protected, I really don't know what was inside?

"Lucky omen? It hasn't appeared for decades, I still saw it once when His Majesty was in power, that's a good thing, the place where the good omen came was smooth in three years, the crops were harvested every year, not to mention, there may be good things dug up in the ground, like ginseng medicinal herbs that have become fine, large pieces of gold and silver, pearls and jade, as long as you can dig out the same, you will send it." "Anyone who is older knows about it, and there's nothing they can't say.

The captain of the guard squinted his eyes and recalled that during that time, everyone was running frantically to the place where the good omen came, digging three feet into the ground just to be able to dig up good things and make a fortune, but many more people dug up things and died.

During that time, the Southern Zhao Kingdom was in turmoil, and even the emperor sent people to find medicinal materials to prolong life. In the end, it was the National Teacher who personally intervened to stop the dispute - taking those things away and giving everyone the compensation they wanted.

This move really amazed the people, according to the mana of the national teacher, it was completely possible to take things away directly, and those people didn't dare to say anything.

"Speaking of which, the night of the good omen came, it was so beautiful!" It was winter, but God did not snow for a long time, and the night was dark very early, and there was no starlight in the sky for half a month, and the moon seemed to be blocked by something, and the sky was dim and suffocating.

Therefore, when those dots of light fall from the sky like snowflakes, it is particularly beautiful, and the light in the darkness always makes people yearn.

The points of light did not dim soon after falling to the ground, like the light of fireflies, faint but full of life—a symbol of life, and the light slowly seeped into the ground, and the earth seemed to be covered with a gorgeous veil of light.

Some of the bold men reached out to catch the light, and the captain of the guard was one of them. But those points of light passed through people's bodies and fell straight to the ground.

That particular "snow" fell all night, and the next day someone found those "good signs" - as they were called, and everyone thought that it was a reward from heaven for Nanzhaoguo.

The young soldier listened with fascination, wishing that he had been born decades earlier, and that he could catch a glimpse of that God-given reward and catch up with that turbulent era.

"There are also people who have been accepted as apprentices by the National Teacher, and when the National Teacher returns to the upper realm, he will follow him directly, and he doesn't have to wait for the five-year election of the Southern Zhao Kingdom. "The captain is also envious when he talks about this, there is no one in Nanzhao Kingdom who doesn't want to go to the upper realm, but it's too difficult, it's good to have more than 100 people taken away in every election. Even so, there are countless people who go to the capital during the general election, just for that little hope.

After all, who doesn't want to live forever and become an immortal?

However, this time the good omen is quite big, the captain of the guard thought to himself, I have never heard of such a big good omen, I don't know what it is so big?

After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince entered the city, his speed slowed down, don't look at his hurried and slow along the way, he seems to be in a hurry, in fact, half of them are for his father to show him, because almost all the subordinates who came out with him this time were rewarded by the emperor.

On the way, he wanted to hide this "good omen" several times and keep it for himself, but in the end he didn't do it. His father is now in the prime of life, in good health, and his attitude towards himself as a prince is hot and cold, and no one can say whether he can ascend to the throne in the end, especially now that the emperor's favored concubine is not his biological mother.

But fortunately, the concubine herself has no children, so she has no opinion on the existence of the prince, and the relationship between the two is unexpectedly not bad - mainly because he was not born to the current queen, but the child of the former queen.

Thinking like this, no matter how slow it is, the palace is already in sight. Before entering the palace, the prince took one last look at the cart loaded with good fortunes, and his eyes were full of reluctance.

The emperor was not in a hurry to see his son, but first went to see the lucky omen who was sent to the imperial study, and after a long time, he seemed to remember that the prince was still waiting for his summons at the door of the study.

The prince, who had already tidied up his appearance, was waiting at the door with a respectful bow, no matter what he thought in his heart, his actions and demeanor were absolutely not revealed.

Entering the imperial study, the prince did not look at the one-person-sized crystal stone placed in the center of the study, but hurriedly greeted the emperor like a greeting.

His Majesty, the emperor of Nanzhao Kingdom, helped his son up with a wave of his sleeves: "Excuse me." Then he asked the prince, "Tell me carefully, how did you find this crystal stone?"

Even though he knew that the emperor must have asked his subordinates, the prince still told the matter again: "After receiving the secret edict from his father, the son hurried to the village where he found the blessing omen, and when he arrived, he saw this crystal, and there was no vision at that time, even if this crystal was a little big, the son did not see anything else. ”

The prince glanced at his father and said: "Who knows, this crystal suddenly changed halfway through, and the son was startled, and quickly ordered someone to cover the crystal with a cloth, and deliberately vacated a carriage to put it in, and rushed back desperately along the way. ”

Speaking of this, the prince raised his eyes to look at the crystal, and it didn't matter if he saw him suddenly exclaim with a frightened face: "Crystal!

The father and son turned their heads to look at each other—and saw that the crystal quickly melted and disappeared with lightning speed, revealing the woman in white wrapped inside.
