The old lady was also surprised, but she didn't know Lu Ailan's background. She didn't know how to ask, so she just pretended she knew nothing.
When I have the chance to let my granddaughter meet her, I will definitely know the origins of Lu Qingsu's mother.
It's just that there are so many things to do that I have always forgotten about it.
Today is my granddaughter’s second birthday, so I specially called the mother and son from the Lu family over.
Many of Yang's family members also came, and each of them was given a cup of spiritual spring water.
After everyone finished drinking it, they were secretly shocked. They didn't know what kind of water this was, and why they felt so refreshed after drinking it?
The emperor sent Li Sizu to deliver a gift, and the return gift he received was a large jar of water and a basket of fruit.
People who didn't know thought that the Qin Palace was stingy, why did they give water instead of wine? But the emperor knew how good the water was, and he was very pleased to receive the return gift.
It's really rare that the little ancestor always thinks of him when he has any good things.
There was a joyful atmosphere in Prince Qin's Mansion. Two-year-old Chu Xiaoxiao spoke more clearly than before and could even say a few more words.
She was wearing a red festive dress, with two buns on her hair, golden bells tied to her buns, a golden necklace around her neck, and golden bracelets on her white wrists and ankles.
She liked things made of gold, and Yang catered to her taste. Basically, all her jewelry was made of gold, with very little silver.
The relatives in the family also knew this, and the gifts they sent were all made of gold. Naituanzi looked at this and that and was very happy.
The day ended in joy, and soon afterwards, it was heard that the high priest of Nanyun Kingdom was coming to Dongsheng.
It’s not a festival, and I don’t know why they have to come.
Nanyun's national strength is much stronger than Dongsheng's. Among the four countries, they have always had the most say. The high priest of Nanyun has some strange skills and can command the beasts in the mountains to fight.
They can also control Zerg, are good at using poison, and can cast spells to bring disasters. Unless the other three countries have something to worry about, they will basically not confront the people of Nanyun Country head-on.
The monarchs of Nanyun Kingdom in all dynasties were not ambitious. As long as their own land was not touched, they would rarely plunder the land of other countries.
Anyone who wants to borrow their resources must also be able to give them what they want, and these things must not only be gold and silver but also something else.
It’s a pity that basically no one can meet their demands. What they proposed is really unheard of, unseen, and no one has it.
The high priest of Nanyun Kingdom went to Beiguo and Xizhao in person this time, but did not find what he wanted, so he finally said he would come to Dongsheng.
The emperor could not refuse. The high priest of Nanyun Kingdom was said to be over a hundred years old and had experienced three generations of emperors of Nanyun.
What does it mean?
Even though three emperors of Nanyun Kingdom have died, he is still alive and well.
This shows how powerful this high priest was. People in ancient times did not live long, otherwise there would not be a saying that lifespan is rare at seventy.
But this high priest was an accident. He lived to be over a hundred years old and still traveled around the world as if nothing had happened.
I don't know what he is looking for.
The court discussed this matter for several days, and all the court officials were worried that if they did not receive the high priest of Nanyun Kingdom well, it would bring disaster to Dongsheng.
It is said that he knows a lot of incredible things and can easily control people's hearts and punish them. He also said that if the emperor of Nanyun Kingdom does not act according to his wishes, he will die suddenly.
Three generations of kings might have died because they angered the high priest.
Of course, these are all rumors, and there is no way to verify whether they are true or not.
In short, the high priest of Nanyun Kingdom is above the king, and even above ordinary people. It is said that wherever he goes, flowers will be used to clear the way, cranes will fly, and wild beasts will guard him.
The sedan chair he sat in was made of precious and expensive black bamboo, and he was accompanied by four holy maidens who served him.
Chu Xiaoxiao sneered when she heard this, and her eyes almost rolled to the sky.
[Saintess? Humph! The high priest of Nanyun Kingdom really knows how to enjoy himself. Don't they only choose one saintess? Why did he bring out four? Is he trying to put spring, summer, autumn and winter together? ]
The emperor wanted to laugh when he heard this, but he held it back.
It would be a good idea to let the little ancestor come to court today. These noisy courtiers are really useless.
When they heard that the high priest of Nanyun Kingdom was coming, everyone knelt and fawned, and even said that they would receive him with the highest standards of Dongsheng, for fear that he would be unhappy and punish Dongsheng.
"Your Majesty! It is said that the high priest came to Dongsheng once more than 70 years ago. At that time, because of the poor hospitality, he brought drought to the people of Dongsheng. There was no rain for three whole years! I don't know how many people starved to death. It is not an exaggeration to say that nine out of ten houses were empty."
The little girl glanced at the dark-haired guy beside her and muttered quietly in her heart.
[Don't be afraid. If they dare to bring about a drought, we will release Black Charcoal Head. He is a dragon. It will only rain and it will be solved in minutes.]
Li Sizu glanced at the black-haired man behind Xiaoxiao with the corner of his eye, feeling happy. Xiaoxiao was still a wise woman, and had prepared a dragon early to deal with the hateful high priest.
Black charcoal head: "......"
Master! What do you think of me? Rain is not the gift of the Rain God. As a dragon, I cannot make rain casually, or I will be punished by the gods. You don't want me to become an electric roasted black dragon, do you?
emperor:"......"
The hateful high priest did harm the people of Dongsheng more than seventy years ago. If he dares to come this time, we must not let him harm the people at will. Dongsheng has the protection of the little ancestor.
"Your Majesty, no matter what unreasonable demands the high priest makes, we must handle them as a nation, otherwise it will be terrible if he punishes us. I heard that both Xi Zhao and Bei Guo sent their princesses to be his maids in order to please the high priest."
"Our Dongsheng princess is too young. Even if we give her to the high priest, he may not accept her. What should we do? How about we choose a girl from the royal family to be the princess? Let's make preparations first!"
"There are not many girls in the royal family. The one who is suitable is Prince Qing's youngest daughter."
As soon as these words fell, Prince Qing stepped out and cursed: "What nonsense are you talking about, old man? My little daughter is only fourteen years old, how can she be suitable?"
"Eat the emperor's salary and share his worries. As a member of the royal family, you enjoy the blessings of the royal family and you have to make sacrifices for the royal family. If giving up a girl can bring happiness and well-being to the people of Dongsheng, the people will remember her kindness."
Prince Qing was furious: "Why are you abandoning my little daughter when things haven't come to that point yet?"
That was the apple of his eye, a little girl he had only gotten when he was 42 years old. Even though she was born to a concubine, he still raised her with all his heart. In addition, his little girl was always able to please him, so how could he possibly give her up?
How the emperor wanted to receive the high priest of the Southern Wing Kingdom was the emperor's business. What did his little daughter have to do with it? Didn't the emperor have the Sixth Princess as his daughter?
The Sixth Princess is seven years old now, and she can also be sent to the High Priest as a maid. The High Priest will definitely not be happy with the idea of using his daughter.
