Chapter 658 I Like Him
From the outside, Xuanmen looks like a Taoist temple hidden in the mountains and forests.
In fact, it really looks like a Taoist temple.
As you enter the door, you will see the Tai Chi platform with a huge incense burner on it. Further in is the main hall.
The main hall houses the statues of the Three Pure Ones, while the side halls on the left and right house the tablets of the ancestors of the Xuanmen sect.
After Xiao Xixi and his group came back, the first thing they did was to burn incense and kneel down to worship the statues of the Three Pure Ones and the ancestral tablets.
After passing through the main hall, you enter the backyard.
The backyard is very large, and Xuanjizi and his disciples usually live here.
Xiao Xixi returned to her residence first.
Her residence consisted of three rooms: a hall for receiving guests, a bedroom, and a study.
The bedroom is the largest.
Xuanjizi calculated that they would come back at this time, so he had the house cleaned in advance, the bedding and door curtains were replaced with new ones, and there were a few beautiful chrysanthemums in the vase.
Xiao Xixi threw herself onto the bed and rolled around as if she was having fun.
"I'm finally back!"
As if she remembered something, she suddenly sat up, reached out and opened the drawer of the bedside cabinet, revealing the box inside.
She took out the box, opened it and saw that it was filled with her favorite snacks.
Judging from the smell, I think the cook must have just made it this morning. It smells very nice!
Xiao Xixi ate a few snacks happily, then ran to her junior brother's residence.
At this time, junior brother Chu Jian was lying on the bed, receiving acupuncture treatment from Xuanjizi.
Xiao Xixi was afraid of disturbing them, so she quietly retreated.
She met three senior brothers outside the door.
Like her, the other three were afraid of disturbing their master from treating their junior brother's injuries, so they stood together in the corridor waiting.
When Xiao Xixi saw her third senior brother Pei Qianhuo, her eyes lit up and she asked in surprise.
"Money-loser!"
Pei Qianhuo's smile froze: "I told you not to call me a money-loser, but to call me Third Senior Brother!"
Xiao Xixi laughed like a goose.
After she had laughed enough, she asked.
"When did you come back?"
Pei Qianhuo: "I just arrived yesterday, a little earlier than you."
Xiao Xixi hesitated for a moment, but still asked about the prince.
Pei Qianhuo did not hide anything and told everything he knew.
"I slipped away quietly when the prince was on his way back to the capital.
The prince returned to the capital in a hurry this time and only brought three thousand troops with him.
The 110,000 main force was left behind by the prince because of their large number and slow marching speed.
The situation in the capital is relatively stable, and with the Queen Mother in charge, nothing should go wrong.
As long as the crown prince returns to Shengjing, he should be able to succeed to the throne smoothly."
Knowing that everything was going well for him, Xiao Xixi smiled happily.
Pei Qianhuo: "The reason why the prince hurried back to Shengjing is because he knew that you were under house arrest by the emperor. He was worried about your safety and he was afraid that something would happen to you."
Under the circumstances at that time, anyone with a brain could have imagined that the prince's trip back to the capital would be dangerous.
Everyone advised him not to go back.
But the prince went back without hesitation.
Because he couldn't leave her alone in danger.
He had to go back and save her.
Even if I have to give up everything and risk my life for it, I will do it!
Pei Qianhuo said in a complicated tone: "In my impression, the prince has always been a calm and restrained person. That was the first time I saw him lose his mind. The way he was willing to do anything to save you scared a lot of people."
Xiao Xixi's eyes turned red again.
Pei Qianhuo sighed: "Fortunately you left in time. If you were seen by those people who loyally followed the prince, they would definitely call you a beauty who brings disaster."
Xiao Xixi was crying and laughing at the same time, like a lunatic.
"I never thought that I would become a beauty who brings disaster one day."
Wen Jiucheng said, "Junior sister, you are so beautiful, it's not surprising that the prince would fall in love with you."
Xiao Xixi wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand and choked up, "He will meet someone prettier than me in the future, and then he will fall in love with someone else."
Fang Wujiu said, "Not necessarily."
Xiao Xixi looked at him with red eyes.
Fang Wujiu: "If he only has eyes for you, how can he see other people?"
Xiao Xixi's tears, which had finally stopped, rolled down again in an instant.
She cried and complained, "I feel like I've become so strange. I didn't like to cry before, but since I left Shengjing, I've become very fond of crying. I cry easily, like a crybaby. Am I sick?"
Xuanjizi came out at some point.
He stood at the door, his hands in his sleeves, and sighed helplessly.
"Silly girl, you are not sick, you just fell in love with someone."
Xiao Xixi was stunned.
Tears were still falling one by one, sliding down her cheeks.
But she forgot to wipe it off and just stood there stupidly.
The suppressed emotions in my heart finally found an outlet, and like a flood bursting through a dam, they swept over me.
yes.
If she didn't like him, how could she be easily affected by him?
It was as if all her sorrows and joys were tied to him.
Xiao Xixi cried louder and louder, her voice choked with sobs.
"I like him, I really like him!"
"But I'll never see him again!"
"I'm so sad, oooooo!"
…
She likes him.
Clumsy and passionate.
Having nothing but giving everything.
…
Shengjing City.
After the emperor passed away, Crown Prince Luo Qinghan successfully ascended the throne and became emperor.
The posthumous title of the previous emperor was named Yong, and he was known in history as Emperor Shengyong.
Luo Qinghan thought that this posthumous title was in line with his father's ideals and would last forever.
It’s a pity that he couldn’t escape death in the end.
The new emperor led the civil and military officials to bury Emperor Sheng Yong's coffin in the imperial mausoleum.
The whole country was in mourning, and government offices across the country hung white lanterns. Any form of happy events was banned for the next three months.
Next came the matter of rewards after ascending the throne.
The first person to be rewarded was naturally the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager was promoted to Grand Empress Dowager.
The status of the concubines in the Eastern Palace also rose accordingly.
Three of the concubines were granted the title of third-rank concubine.
The rear position is suspended.
The second is to reward the princes and princesses.
Those who deserve titles should be given titles, and those who deserve fiefs should be given fiefs.
Finally, it was the turn of the concubines left behind by Emperor Sheng Yong.
In fact, according to the ancestral system, those concubines should have been buried with Emperor Sheng Yong, but Luo Qinghan directly abolished this rule. He sent all the concubines to Ziyun Temple, asked them to shave their heads and become nuns, and spend the rest of their lives with Buddhists and green lamps.
Although life in the nunnery was very hard, at least one could still be alive, which was much better than being buried alive.
It's the Mid-Autumn Festival again.
The late emperor had just passed away, so it was not appropriate to hold a grand banquet in the palace. The Empress Dowager continued last year's practice and simply gave each palace a vegetarian banquet.
At night, Luo Qinghan came to Qingge Palace.
Ever since Xiao Xixi left, Qingge Palace has been vacant.
Although someone comes here to clean regularly and the house is relatively clean everywhere, it is no longer popular here.
It looks deserted.
Luo Qinghan was sitting in the corridor, with a low table beside him, on which were sweet-scented osmanthus wine and moon cakes.
He looked at the empty space around him, and in a trance, he seemed to see the woman with bright eyes and white teeth again.
She smiled, revealing two shallow dimples on her lips.
"Your Highness, I offer you a toast!"
Luo Qinghan subconsciously reached out to take the wine glass, but found it empty.
There was nothing across the table.
His eyes gradually turned red and he cursed softly.
"Little liar."
…
Prince Volume (End)
…
This article consists of two volumes, namely the Prince Volume and the Emperor Volume.
The Prince's Volume officially ends here.
Next, I will write the Emperor Volume, which is the story after Luo Qinghan became emperor.
Don't worry, Xixi will reunite with Luo Qinghan soon.
In addition, people who follow me on Weibo should know that I recently had a relapse of tendonitis, a condition caused by years of typing. It has gotten better after applying a plaster, but if I want to cure this condition completely, I still need to pay attention to rest.
After writing for so many years, I am really tired, but I am more happy than ever.
I hope this happiness can continue.
I want to give myself a day off tomorrow, take a short break, and sort out the plot of the Emperor Volume.
Good night everyone, see you the day after tomorrow~
ps: These words are less than a thousand and do not require any extra money, so don’t scold me for talking nonsense and trying to cheat you out of your money.
The Prince’s Scroll is finally finished. Let’s send out some red envelopes to celebrate and see who has better luck?
(End of this chapter)
