At this moment, he wanted to swallow the bright moon hanging high in the sky as well, to merge himself with heaven and earth.
A burning sensation spread from my throat to my whole body. This was the fine wine His Majesty had bestowed upon me, and only now did the effects of the alcohol begin to take hold.
Xiao Yuanshuang, who was enjoying the snow at Lingxi Palace, happened to witness this scene.
Where have these visitors from the south ever seen such large, pure white snowflakes?
The snow was falling heavily, as if covering the earth with a thick layer of silver.
She was secretly amazed. If it weren't for the spies watching her from all sides, she would have loved to rush into the snow and frolic in it.
Reality, however, did not allow her to do so. At this moment, she could only suppress her inner impulse and stand there quietly, pretending to be elegant and dignified, to appreciate the snow scene.
Just then, I saw a window slowly being pushed open on a towering pavilion in the distance.
The Imperial Preceptor, who seemed like an immortal descended from the heavens, stood tall and elegant, holding a delicate wine cup aloft as if he wanted to drink the finest wine in the world with the bright moon in the sky.
His exceptionally handsome face shone even brighter under the bright moonlight.
It's as if she's a celestial being descended to earth, captivating all who behold her.
This Grand Preceptor was not only exceptionally handsome, but he also possessed two completely different qualities: the magnanimity and boldness of a northerner and the refined elegance of a southerner.
His words and actions exuded an otherworldly aura, making people feel that he was not a person of this world, but came from some mysterious and distant world.
It was as if a celestial being had descended to earth.
Xiao Yuanshuang was stunned.
Suddenly, Qi Yuan didn't seem so appealing anymore.
If I'm going to have a man, I want the best man in the world.
Although Li Xuanji was old, her appearance and figure were no less than those of a young person, and even her half-gray hair did not make her look old.
And he was even the Imperial Advisor!
If she could truly marry this man, then in the entire Qing Kingdom, who could be more noble than her?
He will definitely become someone second only to the emperor, above all others!
Moreover, since Li Xuanji was able to serve as the Grand Preceptor in the Qing Kingdom, he should be more than qualified to go to the Yue Kingdom as well.
If he were willing to accompany me to the Yue Kingdom, then... I can't even imagine...
Last night, Xiao Yuanshuang secretly found out that Murong Yue had been studying under Li Xuanji since she was a child.
If she and Li Xuanji were to successfully marry, and she gained such powerful support, what would be impossible for her to ascend to the throne of the Queen of Yue?
After all, with Li Xuanji as their backer, everything will become much easier.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yuanshuang felt her heart surge with excitement, as if she could see the golden dragon throne beckoning to her.
That position is getting closer and closer.
Achoo! Achoo!
Li Xuanji, who was always in good health, suddenly sneezed a series of times, as if he had been pushed hard.
The page standing to the side, seeing his master in this state, was on high alert. He hurriedly stepped forward and carefully supported his arm, afraid that something might go wrong.
It took a lot of effort, pulling and tugging, to get the person back to the inner room to rest.
That night, Li Xuanji dreamed of that irresponsible couple.
They were all things from my youth.
I'm still in Lanjiabao in my dreams
The Cangjue Sword Technique, which his master treasured, had vanished without a trace.
That's a priceless treasure passed down through the Lan family!
The master flew into a rage and beat him severely without even asking what happened.
He was beaten so badly that he was covered in bruises and couldn't move in bed for three whole days.
Strangely, the master never mentioned the whereabouts of the Cangjue Sword Technique again, as if the matter had never happened, and never asked any further questions.
In his dream, Murong Gan was still a young man, with his arm around his shoulder.
"Brother Li, hehe, let me tell you a secret."
"Your junior sister secretly gave me the Cangjue Sword Technique, hahaha!"
"you!!!!"
In the dream, Li Xuanji chased after Murong and beat him up.
The next day, Li Xuanji felt as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, with a sore back, weak all over, and as if all his energy had been drained away.
He was so confused by the requests made by the people at the small court assembly that he didn't hear them clearly at all.
Especially the string of numbers recited by Jiang Feng, the Minister of Revenue, sounded like thunder to him, giving him a terrible headache.
Li Xuanji couldn't help but rub his forehead.
He secretly wondered if the wine Murong Gan had given him back then was fake.
The ministers walked out in an orderly fashion. Zhang Yuqing, the Minister of Personnel, was imprisoned by Qi Yuan, but the matter of the Prefect of Suizhou was still settled with some procedures.
Two officials were out of town and it would take them two days to get here, so the audience with the emperor was scheduled after the Ministry of Works' open day.
Murong Yue only understood the words "Open Day".
Open... does that mean the base is going to recruit people from outside?
It's not impossible.
Human bases inevitably suffer some losses, and it's common practice to replenish them with new population regularly.
She had no objection to this.
Lost in thought, Murong Yue was startled by a "thump" sound behind her.
Looking back, they saw Li Xuanji lying stiffly on the ground.
"Oh dear, Imperial Advisor!"
The ministers nearby were startled and hurriedly helped Li Xuanji up from the ground.
Upon seeing this, the eunuchs on duty nearby immediately stepped forward to check the situation.
The only military officer present, Qi Yuan, frowned deeply, grabbed Li Xuanji, and sped off towards the Imperial Hospital.
