Chapter 89 Did I go to the wrong set?
"Grand Imperial Master." The fourth prince of Chu, wearing a half mask, also walked out of Huitong Hall.
He said with a serious expression: "The Dragon and Tiger Dojo is really hateful. They created such a mess and the Grand Master has to clean it up. Otherwise, the Grand Master should come back with me. Anyway, no one in Xia Country has ever seen the Grand Master."
"That's fine." The Grand Master of Chu waved his hand. "This young Master is highly anticipated by the people, and he can also persuade Fellow Daoist Li to join us. I am becoming more and more interested in him."
The fourth prince said unwillingly: "But the Great Xia Emperor is tyrannical. When he ascended the throne, he killed half of the nobles in the capital. Otherwise, the Imperial Master should come back with me..."
"Your Highness." The Chu State Grand Master lowered his voice, "A monarch should have the wrath of thunder. Moreover, in the battle for the throne, it is better to strike first and kill one to warn the rest. This is mercy."
The Fourth Prince was shocked by the word "mercy" and pursed his lips.
Seeing this, the Grand Master of Chu said gently: "As a monarch, you should also trust loyal ministers. Your Highness's plan has encountered many obstacles in Xia State, and I will go and take a look."
The fourth prince was startled and bowed deeply: "Master, I am willing to learn from you."
The Grand Master of Chu nodded slightly and said, "Your Highness, please go."
The Fourth Prince did not leave. He sat calmly on a large rock beside the Huitong Hall, waiting for the envoy from Daxia to come and greet him.
Members of the Daxia Huitong Hall and the Jinyiwei came quickly.
When they dismounted and checked the clearance documents, the Fourth Prince of Chu asked the Grand Master of Chu again whether he wanted to leave first. After receiving the Grand Master's refusal, the Fourth Prince of Chu was silent for a while.
The fourth prince of Chu said, "Grand Imperial Master, it is said that the Imperial Master of Great Xia is good at observing the stars at night and fortune telling. Master, why don't you take this opportunity to ask about the whereabouts of your granddaughter?"
The Grand Master of Chu paused and said softly, "Let's talk about it later."
When the Fourth Prince saw the other party's look, he knew that his mentor would not do that, so he waited until the Jinyiwei people were left alone, and then went to ask in person whether he could arrange an opportunity for his mentor to ask the young imperial preceptor questions.
The Imperial Guards hesitated again and again and only said that they could convey the Fourth Prince's request to His Majesty. As to whether it could be done, it would have to wait until His Majesty petitioned the Little Imperial Preceptor before deciding.
The fourth prince was secretly amazed. When the tyrant came to power, he killed almost all the Taoist priests in Xia Kingdom. Such a king would actually give such respect to a little Taoist priest. Is this little Taoist priest really powerful or just a pretense?
But he remained calm and just gave a generous amount of change as a token of his gratitude.
…
Xia Kingdom, a side hall outside Kunning Palace.
Yuan Ruan was lying in the arms of the Seventh Princess Qi Yue, eating fruit.
She had just turned over and was about to take a nap when she suddenly heard the Second Princess seeming to be angry with Cheng Weining outside.
Yuanruan stood up with a grunt, staring out the window with burning eyes.
The seventh princess Qi Yue understood what he meant and hugged Yuan Ruan. She walked directly to the window and sat down, while feeding Yuan Ruan a fruit.
Yuan Ruan: [Haha, eating melons is really human nature. Why would the Second Princess quarrel with Cheng Weining? ]
System: [Let me see. It says here that the Second Princess really wanted the Queen Mother to attend her wedding banquet, but the Queen Mother refused. She wanted Cheng Weining to send more letters to the Queen Mother as soon as possible, and try to get the Queen Mother to come before the Spring Festival. Cheng Weining didn't do it, and after he gave her a lecture, the Second Princess got furious...]
The Seventh Princess Qi Yue was stunned when she heard this: Didn't the Second Princess want to invite the Queen Mother to stimulate the national destiny mission and the points code? But in fact, it has been completed. Hiss, doesn't the Second Princess know yet?
Yuan Ruan nodded solemnly: [I understand. Cheng Weining is wrong for not being able to reason with me at this time.]
System: [Yes, I heard that the other three kingdoms’ imperial masters have arrived in the capital one after another. Now the Second Princess is urging Cheng Weining to go and invite the Queen Mother. It’s really too hasty.]
At this time, the second princess' voice rose again.
The system said again: [But what's wrong with Cheng Weining? What about his love brain? Didn't he get it too early and no longer cherish it?! Isn't Ah Ruan going to use the new magical power in a few days? If Cheng Weining gets carried away, you can hit him a few times to let him know that destined lovers also need to be well cared for.]
Yuanruan: [Pfft, good, good, good.]
Once again, there was no sound of quarreling outside. Without hearing clearly what Cheng Weining said, the Second Princess burst into laughter.
Then there was silence.
The seventh princess Qi Yue admires all those who seriously consider Yuan Ruan, so she tries to save the second princess's reputation.
She said to herself, "It seems that the Prince Consort has agreed to accompany my second sister to play for a few days. Elderly people are really complicated. Just say what you want. Even when you quarrel, you have to find other reasons to quarrel."
At this point, the Seventh Princess Qi Yue raised her hands and said softly, "We are still the best. Ninth sister, tell me everything in the future. We are the best."
System: [I see. It seems my suggestion is useless. This little couple has their own taste.]
Yuanruan: [I see. Yeah, that's the best.]
The seventh princess Qi Yue smiled sweetly.
At this time, the queen, who had been listening outside for a long time, stepped in, looked at Qi Yue with admiration, and then said to Yuan Ruan: "Jiu'er, you will have to work hard later."
Yuan Ruan pursed his lips: [Oh my God, you don’t have to go to study in the afternoon! ]
The queen almost laughed out loud, and came over to pick up Yuan Ruan, and said to the palace maid behind her: "Change the clothes for the little imperial master. The imperial masters of the three kingdoms have already arrived in Daxia, and we need to meet them first." At this point, a trace of worry flashed in the queen's eyes: "Wait for an auspicious time and sit down to discuss it."
Yuan Ruan's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands ready to fight: [Finally here. 】
The system was also excited: [I’ve been waiting for a long time! ]
The queen was stunned for a moment and then smiled: What a good attitude, it has calmed me down.
…
The queen held Yuanruan in her arms and sat on the soft and charming bed.
Listening to the inner voices, the system and Yuanruan were trying to guess what kind of personalities the two Taoist priests had, whether they would be difficult to deal with, and what measures they would need to take.
The queen pursed her lips and smiled. She said to the eunuch who was accompanying her, "Do you know anything about the imperial masters of Chen, Shu, and Chu? What are their personalities and preferences?"
The eunuch was startled, and quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have only met the three imperial masters once, at the Spring Festival a few years ago. I don't know what they like."
The Queen saw Yuan Ruan prick up his ears and said, "Then tell me about their characteristics that you have seen."
The eunuch first quickly recalled that he had done nothing wrong recently, so the queen's sudden change should not be a warning to him.
The eunuch then bowed and said, "As far as I can remember, the national masters of Chen and Chu seem to be from the same school, and the national master of Chen is the oldest. As for the national master of Chu, I remember his bald head and his eyebrowlessness the most, and I was deeply impressed by him. In addition, there is the national master of Shu, who is the youngest, wears plain clothes, and doesn't like to talk..."
Seeing that Yuan Ruan was very interested, the Queen asked the eunuch to talk more.
It was not until they arrived at a side hall near the Golden Throne Hall that the chief eunuch stopped talking with a dry mouth.
Before entering the side hall, Yuan Ruan happened to glance at the open window of the side hall. When she saw it, her expression gradually became strange.
