Chang Anqing

Chapter 353
With the ancient lotus in Yuqing Temple in full bloom, Chang'an has come to the annual midsummer season. When people go here to watch the lotus as before, a news came to Chang'an from Luoyang.

The king of Luoyang is dead.

Knowing that the elder brother of the King of Luoyang passed away suddenly, the Son of Heaven was deeply saddened. He not only stopped court for three days, but also ordered officials of the third rank and above to go to the Luoyang Palace to mourn. .

At nightfall on this day, Yang Chongyuan, who had already changed his normal clothes, was sitting cross-legged with Dao Qing, talking about it, when the fragrance of tea was wafting and the candlelight was rippling, the sound of footsteps gradually resounded outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is overjoyed, Your Majesty is overjoyed—"

Hearing this overjoyed voice, Yang Chongyuan, who was originally disturbed, raised his eyebrows slightly, and saw Liu Shoucheng, who had always been prudent, panting in from the side of his head, his eyebrows and eyes were full of unconcealable excitement.

"What's the matter?"

Hearing Yang Chongyuan's question, Liu Shoucheng quickly bowed his head and saluted and said, "Return to Your Majesty, the prefect of Yangzhou and the governor of Nanhai County sent an urgent report, saying that His Royal Highness visited Nanhai County on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and there was auspiciousness from heaven, and a white deer came to the world." In Nanhai County, the governor of Yangzhou did not dare to be negligent, and the governor of Nanhai County has personally escorted the white deer back to Chang'an, Your Majesty please take a look."

As soon as these words came out, Yang Chongyuan, who has always been calm and prudent, was shocked. Seeing this, Liu Shoucheng hurried forward and delivered the urgent report to Yang Chongyuan. Yang Chongyuan quickly took it and opened it. Chu couldn't help laughing, and said loudly: "Okay, okay——"

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, this auspicious birth to the world."

At this moment, Dao Qing, who was still sitting beside him, also stood up to salute and congratulate.

"Immortal Master please get up."

Seeing this, Yang Chongyuan stood up, supported Daoqing's arm, and then said with deep meaning: "The king of Luoyang passed away, and my heart is—"

"Everything is karma and chance, Your Majesty should be at ease—"

Without waiting for Yang Chongyuan to be sentimental, Daoqing murmured: "Be careful and keep your heart, a saint is born, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and the country is endless."

"The King of Luoyang has the overall situation in mind, and he has already survived this calamity and catastrophe for His Majesty. Now His Royal Highness is on a tour on behalf of His Majesty, and a white deer comes to the world. It is said in ancient books that the appearance of the White Deer is the auspicious symbol of Haiyan Heqing." Signs, now the prophecy is fulfilled one by one, so it can be seen that I am very happy to welcome the birth of your majesty, a saint, and enjoy the prosperity and peace of the world, and from then on, your majesty should be able to rest in peace."

As soon as these words came out, Yang Chongyuan's heart was shaken, and the heavy stone that had been lingering in his heart finally fell down.

Since the appearance of the sixteen-character prophecy, he has never had a day of peace, and his heart has never been free from worries.

He is afraid that the prophecy will come true, but also hopes that the prophecy will come true.

I never thought that now the disaster has been avoided, and the prophecy is manifested.

This is undoubtedly the scene he most wants to see.

Thinking of this, Yang Chongyuan looked at Daoqing with more excitement and respect: "The immortal master has a wonderful plan, and he has made great contributions to protecting me."

"All of this is just a coincidence. After all, it is His Majesty's blessings, and more of it is because His Royal Highness is your Majesty's blessing, and he is here to repay your kindness."

Hearing Dao Qing's words, Yang Chongyuan's eyes were slightly startled, and he couldn't help falling into silence.

The news of the birth of the White Deer spread throughout Chang'an overnight, but within half a month it caused a sensation throughout Daxing. For this reason, the emperor set up a White Deer Banquet and ordered the whole country to cancel the curfew for three days and celebrate together.

"Nowadays, people all over the world are discussing that His Royal Highness is the lucky star of His Majesty and the world, and that the White Deer will come to the world. It can be seen that His Royal Highness has great blessings, and is a lucky star for His Majesty and the world."

Listening to Nian Nu's words, Li Sui flipped through the chess record in his hand with a smile, and dropped a sunspot slowly.

Everything went according to her way of chess. She was looking for the White Deer. Yang Yan waited for the emperor to visit Yangzhou. It was also the beginning of Yang Chongyuan's reign. She ordered people to spread rumors in the south of the Yangtze River. Naturally, there is no more suitable candidate than Yang Yan to win the hearts of the scholars. He has a noble status, a legacy of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and is known for his benevolence.

Now that the White Deer has come to the world, it can be regarded as completely breaking the legacy of the prophecy, and let the people of the world see the "blessed fate" of the prince.

An emperor who can bless the world and protect the people, who else is more qualified to sit firmly as the crown prince.

Now, I'm afraid that even Yang Chongyuan has to be in awe of this "God's will" in his heart.

"princess--"

Just as Li Sui was thinking to himself, Yu Nu came in and said, "His Royal Highness, please enter the palace to have a talk."

As soon as Li Sui entered the Lizheng Palace, he saw his aunt, Empress Li, in high spirits, talking with the crown princess and the head of Anyang County. He didn't need to think about it to know that the King of Luoyang and the Yu brothers who were against the Eastern Palace were dead. If there is this white deer coming into the world again, my aunt would be so happy even in her dreams.

Sure enough, as soon as she saw Li Sui, Queen Li chatted with her a lot, and happily gave her many things. After lunch, she came out to serve Queen Li to rest, and saw that the sun outside was covered by clouds A few minutes later, there was a breeze again, which was rare and cool.

When he came to the corridor, Li Sui was listening to Baoying talking to her, and when he turned his head, he saw the Anyang county lord who came out with him, looking at the paper kite that was being released by some palace official in the air, with envy in his eyes.

"It's been a long time since I let the kite go, why don't you and I join in the fun?"

Hearing Li Sui's proposal, Zhao Su, the adopted sister of Yuling King Zhao Yi, who has now changed her surname, turned her head happily when she heard the words. Baoying naturally understood Li Sui's thoughtfulness, and immediately agreed with a smile: " Since you and I left the cabinet, it’s been a long time since we played these games.”

While talking, the three palace attendants found their favorite paper kites, and brought them together to the sparsely populated Nangong Gate. Taking advantage of the breeze, the colorful paper kites flew into the blue sky in a short while. .

In the laughter, Li Sui saw the self-evident yearning in Zhao Suxin's eyes.

Just when the palace people clapped their hands and laughed happily, a bird that lost its direction bumped into Zhao Su's paper kite somehow, and when Zhao Su frantically pulled the paper kite thread, it became more and more tightly entangled instead. When he didn't know what to do, Li Sui stepped forward and tore the string of the kite. Unexpectedly, the bird seemed to be injured too, and tangled with the kite with the broken string and fell down.

Hearing the exclamation of the palace people, Zhao Su also panicked. Seeing his unbearable expression, Li Sui comforted him from the side: "Birds can fly, but they must have been injured. Let people find them and take care of them for a while." You will be able to return to the blue sky."

Seeing Li Sui beckoning Yu Nu to go, Zhao Su said, "Let me go."

Seeing that Baoying hesitated, Li Sui nodded and smiled, "Okay."

After all, Li Sui handed her his palace card and said, "It's just that the direction is the outer palace, so you can only go out with the palace card."

Seeing that Zhao Su nodded, he hurriedly headed towards the place where the kites and birds flew down. Li Sui was not in a hurry when he saw this, so he asked the palace servants to follow closely.

"Here, there are so many people in the outer palace—"

Hearing Baoying's words, Li Sui patted her hand with a smile and said, "Anyang has been in the palace for a long time, and you can tell from her appearance just now that she is yearning for the outside of the palace—"

Seeing what Li Sui said, Baoying understood. Looking at the back of the Anyang county magistrate, she couldn't help sighing: "Her background is really pitiful. It would be great if she could have relatives alive."

On this side, when Zhao Su rushed to the outer palace panting, Fang lit up the palace card and went out of the palace gate, turned around the palace wall and saw a cheerful figure on the long corridor.

And what floated in his hand was not the other one, it was her paper kite sparrow tail.

Seeing this, Zhao Su couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly followed.

Hearing the sound of footsteps coming from behind, the man turned around, and saw a pretty panting figure running towards him from the smoky sunset glow gradually emerging.

At that moment, the bottom of Yang Xiao's heart couldn't help being touched, until the figure gradually approached, until he saw that a few hairs on the sideburns were slightly scattered by the ears, the delicate dimple was slightly red, and the almond-like eyes contained a little tension. Looking at the bird in his arms, he just relaxed, opened his mouth lightly, and crossed his hands to salute him quite politely.

"This gentleman."

The pleasant voice rang in his ears like a clear spring in a mountain stream. Yang Xiao just came back to his senses. When he saw Zhao Su staring at the bird in his arms, he couldn't help saying: "This injured bird belongs to your wife?"

Hearing that the bird was injured, Zhao Su's eyes flashed with worry, and she hurriedly said: "This paper kite is mine, but when I released the paper kite just now, I accidentally entangled the bird, I'm afraid it was injured."

Seeing Jiao Niang in front of him blaming herself, Yang Xiao looked down at the sleepy bird in his arms and said: "Young lady, you don't have to blame yourself, I just looked at it, and the bird must have been pecked by an eagle before it bumped into it by mistake. Your paper kite will be fine as long as it is given medicine."

"So that's how-"

Zhao Su smiled reassuringly when she heard the words, stretched out her hand and gently touched the little bird's head and said, "It happens that I know some medical skills, so let me let you go on the day I take care of you alive and well."

"In this way, it can be regarded as meeting a nobleman."

Hearing Yang Xiao's words, Zhao Su raised his head, and the delicate dimple smiling like Chunhua just hit his eyes and his heart.

"Lang Jun, did you wait here on purpose?"

Yang Xiao nodded when he heard the words, and then said: "Now it's time to return the property to the original owner."

"Thank you sir."

Seeing Zhao Su salute again, Yang Xiao smiled, and the moment he handed out the kite and the bird, he saw the broken kite and couldn't help saying: "It's just a pity that the kite has been damaged."

"It's okay."

Zhao Su took it with a smile, stroked the bird's feathers carefully and said, "As long as this little guy is fine."

Looking at the girl holding the bird in the sunset, her eyes were full of tenderness when she lowered her head, Yang Xiao couldn't help smiling contagiously.

"By the way, I don't know your name, but I can repay you in the future—"

At this moment, meeting Zhao Su's inquiring gaze, Yang Xiao said with a smile: "It's a little effort, my lady doesn't need to worry about it." "

Just when Zhao Su didn't know how to respond, she greeted the person in front of her with a smile, and then added: "My name is Yang Xiao, whose name is Junyi. I am the eldest in the family, so everyone calls me Dalang."

Seeing that the person in front of him was so straightforward, Zhao Su couldn't help laughing, and then handed the bird and paper kite in his arms to the maid behind him, and bowed with his arms crossed in response: "Little girl Zhao Su, my family calls me Su Niang .”

"Prince Feng Yi?"

The maid who caught up was shocked when she heard that Yang Xiao had signed up, and hurried forward to salute, "Feng Yi County Wang An."

After the words fell, Zhao Su looked in surprise.

King Feng Yi, the eldest son of King Liang, and the eldest brother of Princess Changle.

It turned out to be him.

Seeing that Zhao Su was about to salute, Yang Xiao quickly supported her, and when Zhao Su looked at the hand he touched, he hurriedly retracted it apologetically.

"Miss, don't be too polite."

Seeing that Yang Xiao still didn't know Zhao Su's identity, the maid hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, my wife is the head of Anyang County."

After the words fell, the eyes of the two met, and Yang Xiao saluted with a smile: "County Lord."

It turned out that she was the head of the county.

That's not a concubine in the harem. Thinking of this, Yang Xiao's heart that was struggling was relieved.

At this moment, the evening wind blows through the tail of the skirt, faintly carrying the fragrance of flowers and singing of birds, stirring people's hearts.
