Emperor Phoenix

Chapter 70

Seeing that the bug could no longer be shaken out, Shui Lingxuan's eyes suddenly became ruthless under his agitation, he bit his lip, and pulled out a dagger.

At this moment, Rong Xiaotian had rushed over hearing the voice, saw this scene, and shouted angrily, "Don't hurt Rongrong!"

Suxuan turned around abruptly, Chu Feihuan also raised his head suddenly, and they both said in unison, "No!"

The dagger slashed down with the sound of the wind, shining brightly and menacingly.

Rong Xiaotian flew over and carried Xiao Rong away.

However, Su Xuan suddenly snapped his fingers quickly, and a ghostly broken chrysanthemum appeared from his fingertips. It was a small dagger, dozens of "daggers" flew flying, and they all hit Shui Lingling's dagger, and there was a series of clanging sounds, knocking her dagger into the air.

At this time, Shui Lingxuan's dagger had already picked a slit in his pants.

He stabbed the dagger with such vigor that it seemed that he wanted to gouge out his own leg flesh and worms together!

Even Suxuan couldn't help being moved by this ruthlessness, with a slight sigh, he raised his finger, but he didn't see him making a gesture, and a long grass appeared in his hand, swimming like a soft whip, whistling repeatedly Then, he picked out the bugs in Shui Lingling's pants one by one.

As for his trousers, although they were a little ripped, they were neat and without holes, and his robe was hidden, so it would not be indecent.

The worms landed on the ground and crawled away on the ground. Shui Lingling's manic state was finally relieved. However, thinking of the feeling of those disgusting things swimming and wriggling on his body just now, and thinking that the yellow, yellow, green and green hairs of those worms might still remain on his skin. As soon as I put it on, I suddenly felt itchy and unbearable, and I wished I could jump into the pool with a plop and wash it for three days and three nights to be happy.

But he really can't.

The early winter wind was already chilling, coming in through those cracks, it was as chilly as if you were not wearing clothes, the two big tears in your eyes were finally dripping down, and you couldn’t care less about going away at this time Looking for that brat to settle accounts, he stood there with his robe covered, not daring to move a step, and said pitifully, "...borrowing clothes..."

Suxuan and Chu Feihuan originally thought that the child would be spoiled and willful, but they didn't want to be scared like this by a few insects, and they were afraid that his rage would hurt Xiao Rong, so they protected him intentionally or unintentionally, so they couldn't prevent him from saying this In other words, looking at each other, Chu Feihuan saw that Shui Linglian's eyes had already fallen on him --he was the thinnest here, and the size of his clothes was the closest to that of the petite Shui Lingling --- without saying a word, he hurriedly drove the wheelchair Then he ran away, Rong Xiaotian didn't have time to get close, he turned around directly, Xiao Baozi jumped on his back, grabbed the clothes on his shoulders, one big and one small fled for their lives, only Suxuan was left, thinking He walked, but was pulled by the corner of his clothes.

"robe……"

Suxuan really wanted to raise his head to the sky and scream, what is this all about!
Fortunately, Qin Changge came to rescue him. She saw Xiao Baozi fleeing back with a sneaky face, and heard Shui Lingling's scream. Of course she knew what happened, so she came out in a leisurely manner, handed over a piece of clothing, and said with a smile: "Shui Xiao Young master, I don’t have any suitable clothes for you here, but this one is not bad, you can just settle for it.” He said and motioned to one of his subordinates, “Take young master to the backyard to change.”

As soon as Shui Lingxuan took the clothes bag, she knew what it was, and immediately blushed, she glanced at Suxuan quietly, one glance after another, Suxuan didn't care at first, but she was terrified by him, and her eyes fell on the clothes bag , through the cloth bag, vaguely saw the woman's long skirt, was startled for a while, looked at Shui Lingling, looked at his face for a few times, then looked at Qin Changge, she was smiling, with an encouraging face, and was startled , he first showed a dazed look, pointed at Shui Ling and said: "So you are a woman—"

He stopped before he finished speaking, as if he had thought of something, his expression changed, and then he showed a sense of disappointment, but at that moment, he immediately covered up his expression, only smiled suddenly, and took a step back.

Shui Lingxuan blushed again, cast a watery glance at him, stomped her feet, and left with her mouth pouted.

Qin Changge only pretended not to see Suxuan's expression, and after Shui Lingyou left, he said, "An Feiqing's family was wiped out, the leader must know about it."

"Yes," Suxuan said lightly, "Young lady is very well-informed. That's why I came to you. I have sent the local branch master to check immediately. However, according to reports, An's family was mysteriously wiped out. Burnt to a white ground, leaving almost no clues."

"His clues are not in Longdong, but in Yingdu." Qin Changge's eyes fell on the corner of the western sky, where the sunset glowed gorgeously, scorching like peaches, and the clouds were trimmed with gorgeous gold rims, soft and coquettish. Sliding across the blue sky.

Suxuan was also looking at the sky, his expression seemed to be in deep thought, and he said after a while: "I still come to say goodbye today, I have some minor business and need to leave for a while."

Turning around, Qin Changge focused on Suxuan, his eyes were calm and unwavering, and said softly: "Really? If so, please take care."

Smiling slightly, Suxuan blinked suddenly, "That's all? Are you planning to send me off?"

He looked at Qin Changge's eyes half-jokingly and half-seriously, the pupils were as dark as deep water, shining with strange waves, "You broke my heart."

Qin Changge smiled, "Then, when will the big gang leader set off? Please allow me to prepare a glass of wine."

Laughing loudly and long, for some reason, there was some melancholy in the smile, as light as a cloud of smoke, Suxuan said: "It's just a short time away, five days later, on the third day of the winter month, I will go out, if you have time, I will stay at the Wanyang Pavilion on the outskirts of the city Wait for you."

On the first day of the winter month, Empress Dowager Jiang's fiftieth birthday.

For the Xiliang Dynasty, which claims to be pursuing "govern the country with justice, use troops with odds, and conquer (govern) the world with nothing (strategy)", "loyalty, benevolence, filial piety" is the crown of all virtues, so the queen mother's ten-year life, no matter how Xiao Jue I thought, it must be done in a grand manner to show the harmony and kindness of the royal family.

Three days before the big birthday, the officials over 60 years old in Beijing, the old people, and the eunuchs serving in the palace will be rewarded preferentially. The empress dowager will be set up outside the Longevity Gate to outside the Huangji Gate, and a ten-mile colorful shed will be set up. The kings ordered their wives to kneel in colorful clothes Greetings, on the day of the day, kings, dukes, and officials above the second rank gather outside the Longevity Gate, and those below the third rank gather outside the Meridian Gate to kneel. The "Wan Shou Palace" is the place where the cups are served and celebrated, and the seat is ascended. The officials of the Ministry of Rites lead the emperor to enter through the middle gate, and enter the table. Entering from the side gate, the emperor led the kings and ministers to kneel down three times and kowtow nine times.Civil and military officials, Xiuzhi, Jiangge officials, Jinshi, Juren, and Gongsheng all saluted outside the Meridian Gate, while health supervisors and seniors saluted outside Zheng'an Gate.After the ceremony, return to the palace.Then the queens, noble concubines, princesses and concubines of the inner palace will pay homage.

On this day, there are scenic spots everywhere, along the more than 20 miles from Changshou Palace to Xihuamen, not only the houses, palaces, and buildings are decorated with paint and color paintings, but also the colorful sheds, archways, stage, music hall, verandas, flowers and trees along the way are all different. There are various scenic spots, and there are also special scenic spots with auspicious words as the theme, such as Yinghai Xianshan, Ruiyu Hefeng, Fumen Duoxi, Queen Mother's Birthday, Shou and Tianqi, etc. Ascension, exaggeration and fighting, the grand occasion is unprecedented. (Copied from "Longevity Celebration Case", thanks to Aunt Cixi for her selfless donation).

After several years of recuperation, the national power of Xiliang is no longer comparable to that in the early days of the founding of the country. The prosperous scene has already seen scale, and all expenditures are drawn from the treasury. The royal family wanted to repay them one after another, but was reprimanded by Xiao Jue's decree: "Is there still starvation under the rule of the ministers? Are there still homeless people? Are there still evil beggars? Are there still refugees? One side of the people will live forever." The foundation, if the vassal treasury is so abundant, why not use it for the people's livelihood? Why use the Queen Mother's life to plunder the people's livelihood? I can't bear it, and the Queen Mother doesn't like it either."

The big officials in the frontiers all over the country were stunned.

As for the emperor's move, some speculations and discussions arose in private, including the fact that the mother and son of the empress dowager were at odds with each other, the old affairs of abolishing the empress, and the suspected case of empress Ruiyi, etc., it is not enough for outsiders to understand.

On that day, Qin Changge was holding a beautifully carved jade box containing the birthday gift she had prepared for Princess Wenchang, sitting in the maid's palace carriage, and drove onto the flying bridge for the first time.

The body of the bridge is pure white, and the height of the bridge is several feet high, like a crescent moon in a rainbow, flying over the forest and the imperial palace. When the carriages and horses passed by, Qin Changge couldn't help thinking of the couplet with Xiao Jue about the flying bridge a few days ago.

She slipped away halfway that day, wondering how angry Xiao Jue would be afterwards?Only two days later, she received the news: Wen Zhengting, a talented scholar from the east of Longdong, traveled to Yingdu, and was known to the emperor for some reason, so he was specially summoned to meet him. Political affairs, and presented tens of thousands of statements, won the emperor's heart, and immediately promoted him repeatedly, and entered the left admonition doctor in white clothes, from the fourth rank.

Before the newly-appointed admonishment doctor had warmed up the public bench, he received an imperial edict, Wen Zhengting, the special commissioner Zuo admonishment doctor, as the envoy of Longdong to watch the wind, recently went to Longdong, Huainan, and Chihe three roads to inspect various places Officials govern the people's livelihood.

At that time, the scholars were envious of Wen Zhengting, who had been buried in the mountains for many years. Once they entered the capital, the situation immediately rose. Now they are even more honored as imperial envoys.As a result, there have been many more literati and talents who have come to Yingdu in the past few days. They all come here with enthusiasm and enthusiasm. They sell poems and essays in prosperous places in Yingdu, and talk about political affairs. , up to heaven to listen.

Only Qin Changge knew what was going on.

She ran away halfway, Xiao Jue would definitely go back to Zhao Wang's mansion to look for "Wen Zhengting". As a result, this Wen Zhengting was not the other Wen Zhengting, so Xiao Jue knew he had been fooled. He has some talent and learning, and there is something extraordinary in the answering, so he is favored by him, and those who hit by mistake get the chance to enter the court.
