Chapter 220 Seven-Colored Divine Pearls
As the white figure entered the hall, a kind and gentle voice sounded: "I am late!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person who came was an old man.
He had white hair and a white beard, and was wearing a white robe. He was energetic, healthy, and light-footed, giving people a feeling of immortality.
Behind him, there were two little Taoist children in plain clothes.
"The Imperial Master is here!" The gatekeeper eunuch shouted.
It turned out to be the Imperial Master Bian Wuji.
[Isn't this the old man who came to the palace to perform a ritual last time? He was also talking about something evil. ]
The guests stood up one after another to welcome the Imperial Master. Bian
Wuji walked into the hall without looking around, and saluted Emperor Mingxi and the Empress.
"Please come quickly, Imperial Master. I am already flattered that you can come to my daughter's birthday party." Emperor Mingxi said.
Bian Wuji never liked to attend such banquets. In the past, when the palace held birthday banquets for Emperor Mingxi, the Empress, the Empress Dowager, etc., he could not refuse to come even if he was invited to the Imperial Master.
Therefore, everyone was very surprised that Bian Wuji could come today.
"The little princess' birthday can actually invite the Imperial Master!"
"Princess Anguo is really a great honor!"
"I see that the emperor seems to be unaware that the Imperial Master is coming. Could it be that the Imperial Master took the initiative to come?"
For the guests, the Imperial Master is a very mysterious person.
Usually, it is difficult for everyone to see the Imperial Master.
Only when something important happens in the court, Emperor Mingxi sends someone to invite the Imperial Master, and then the Imperial Master may come.
"I came here today to give Princess Anguo a birthday present." Bian Wuji said loudly.
As he spoke, he took out an exquisite box from his wide sleeves.
"The Imperial Master wants to give the little princess a gift!"
"Oh my God, such a little kid can actually get a birthday gift from the Imperial Master!"
"What do you think is in that box? Is it worth a fortune?"
Originally, the process of presenting gifts was long and boring, and the young emperor and his guests were already drowsy. Seeing that the Imperial Master actually took out a gift, everyone's spirits were lifted.
For a moment, the guests all talked about it.
Emperor Mingxi and the Empress were a little flattered, because the Imperial Master had never given anyone a gift before.
"Thank you, Imperial Master, for your concern for my daughter." Emperor Mingxi stood up and walked forward, holding out his hands solemnly to receive the gift.
"Miao'er, quickly pay your respects to the Imperial Master, thank you Imperial Master!"
Xia Miaoyuan was pulled up by the Empress and saluted in a proper manner.
"Miao'er, thank you, Imperial Master!" Xia Miaoyuan said in a baby voice.
[Such a small box, I don't know what's in it? ] Xia Miaoyuan muttered in her heart, while standing on tiptoe, she took the gift from Emperor Mingxi's hand.
The Empress helped Xia Miaoyuan open the box, and a faint golden light shone out
. In the box, there was a transparent bead the size of a pigeon egg.
[What is this? Is it crystal? Why does it emit golden light? ] Xia Miaoyuan looked at the bead from top to bottom.
The Imperial Master stroked his beard and said, "This bead is called the Seven-Colored Divine Bead. Princess, you must keep it well."
"I know. I will." Xia Miaoyuan agreed in a baby voice.
[Is this a magic weapon? I don't remember it being written in the book.]
The guests were all straining their necks to look at Xia Miaoyuan's hand, their faces full of envy, wanting to see the beauty of the seven-colored divine bead.
"What kind of treasure is that?"
"That bead must be worth a fortune, right?"
"It was given by the Imperial Master, of course."
"I wonder what this treasure is used for. Will it make people immortal?"
At the same time, not far away, next to the Empress Dowager, Yao Jinse stared at the bead in Xia Miaoyuan's hand and bit her lips hard.
The gift lasted for two and a half hours.
In previous palace banquets, the gift-giving part was also boring, and Xia Miaoyuan could sit aside and do nothing, but today was her birthday, and she had to sit up straight no matter how tired she was, and thank the guests one by one.
When the gift-giving was over, Xia Miaoyuan was so tired that she sat paralyzed in the chair and didn't want to talk.
At this time, the Imperial Master, who had been sitting quietly and silent, said to Emperor Mingxi: "I have to go back."
Emperor Mingxi immediately stood up and said: "Then the Empress and I will see the Imperial Master off!"
The Imperial Master did not refuse, and walked slowly as he had when he came.
Emperor Mingxi held his daughter, and together with the Empress, followed the Imperial Master closely to see him off from the palace.
When they reached the open space outside the palace, the imperial teacher stopped, dismissed his attendants, and said to Emperor Mingxi and his family of three: "The little princess is born extraordinary and has a different destiny. In the future, she can save Daxia from danger."
"You must take good care of the princess and raise her up!"
The emperor and empress nodded sincerely, their eyes shining.
They admitted that their daughter was different.
In this world, which child's voice can be heard by relatives?
Which child has the ability to see through the world and predict the future?
Their daughter will be able to save Daxia from danger in the future. The couple remembered this sentence firmly.
In the future, they will definitely pay more attention to their daughter's predictions and dare not slack off.
[Mummy, this princess suddenly changed her opinion of the imperial teacher. 】
【I used to think he was just a charlatan, but now I suddenly feel that he is really capable and can actually see the cat stuff on me. 】
【I am really sorry for what I did to you before, Grandpa Imperial Master. 】
Xia Miaoyuan looked at the Imperial Master with eyes filled with admiration. Her little hands held the seven-colored magic beads tighter.
The Imperial Master looked at Xia Miaoyuan meaningfully and smiled dotingly.
He added: "This seven-colored magic bead is not some vulgar thing, nor is it some priceless jewel. It is a magic weapon. Please keep it well. It will be of great use in the future."
[Oh my god, is this the kind of treasure in the novel that can call the wind and rain?]
Xia Miaoyuan was stunned when she heard this. Even the well-informed empress was surprised.
At this time, a gray figure landed on a tree not far away.
Xia Miaoyuan looked up and saw that it was Cheng Feng, the leader of the secret guards of Emperor Mingxi. It looked like he had just returned from outside and had something urgent to report to Emperor Mingxi.
Emperor Mingxi took a few steps toward the tree and waved to Cheng Feng. Cheng Feng jumped to the ground, walked to Emperor Mingxi and whispered a few words in his ear.
After Emperor Mingxi heard what he said, his face, which was full of joy just now, suddenly became gloomy.
After sighing heavily, he clenched his fist and hit the pillar next to him fiercely.
The Imperial Master smiled and asked: "Your Majesty, have you encountered any troubles? I wonder if I can help you?"
"There is nothing to hide from the Imperial Master. It was my Concubine Xian who became a nun in Fanyin Temple and suddenly disappeared."
"I regret it so much, why not kill her..." What
Emperor Mingxi wanted to say was that it would be better to kill Concubine Xian directly at the beginning. It would be over once and for all, and there would be no future troubles.
The Queen was also stunned when she heard it.
The Imperial Master laughed heartily: "Your Majesty, don't worry. A blessing in disguise. This is not a bad thing."
The Empress wanted to ask more questions, but the Imperial Master just left.
[Tsk tsk tsk, this kind of expert loves to be mysterious. He never says something directly, which is really annoying.]
The Shanglin Garden was bustling all day until the evening, when the birthday party ended.
Xia Zhengqi specially granted permission for Prince Xiao and his wife to stay in Kunning Palace for a few days so that they could get close to the Empress and their grandchildren.
When Xia Miaoyuan learned about it, she was so happy that she flew away. She didn't care about the fatigue of the birthday party and ran to Kunning Palace.
