Chapter 64: Into the World
There were many people kneeling on the ground of the side hall, like a calm ocean. The middle-aged woman walked by indifferently, and the sea water naturally separated, causing a slight ripples. A leader of the eunuch coughed twice. The palace maids and eunuchs who were kneeling on the ground were as if they were amnesty. They quickly got up and quietly left the hall.
The eunuch leader had wrinkles on his face, looking extremely old, but he carefully held the middle-aged woman's hand and said humbly: "Even if the origin of that boy is a little problem, it is not worth your concern."
The middle-aged woman is the Holy Queen. Listening to the old eunuch, she said indifferently: "If you are just an ordinary person, you naturally don't need to worry."
The eunuch leader knew that the Empress said something ordinary, so naturally it was not about whether she could practice such a small thing. After pondering for a moment, he said: "I have checked the letter of recommendation. There is no problem. It was indeed the Pope left to Miss Mo Yu for Princess Peace Country to play... The news from the palace that the Pope should not know about this matter. The young man should have been involved by chance. Although it was unexpected that he had an engagement with the Xu Mansion, the old slave really couldn't see anything special about him."
The Holy Queen stopped, looked at the deep night behind the side hall, and then was silent for a moment and asked, "Have you ever seen someone who is not afraid of death?"
The eunuch leader knew that the Empress's question must have a profound meaning and began to think seriously.
It is said that heroes in the world can suspense life and death and separation, but only those who have truly experienced countless separations of life and death understand that those lightness and indifference are only overcome by relying on their strong willpower to overcome the fear of death, but that fear is \u60e

7 Actually, it's been there all the time.
The eunuch leader lived in the Great Zhou Palace for hundreds of years and was extremely powerful. After the death of the first emperor nearly twenty years ago, the royal family opposes the empress ascends the throne and intends to break into the palace to rebel. The empress can easily stabilize the court. In addition to the clear support of the Pope, he also played an extremely critical role in it.
He is a great man who has experienced countless separations of life and death. He is very sure that no one is not afraid of death. Even a man as great as His Majesty Emperor Taizong still cannot calm down on the sickbed before he dies. His eyes are staring at the stars in the night sky, full of reluctance and fear.
He was next to His Majesty at that time and saw the scene clearly.
"No one is not afraid of death," he said.
"There was a moment before that boy was really not afraid of death, so he was not an ordinary person." The Holy Queen thought about the words the boy said in front of the black dragon and said, "I always thought that only the child of the Akiyama family could be worthy of that girl, but now it seems... it is not necessarily."
The eunuch leader Wei Lin thought to himself, should the Empress change her attitude towards this matter?
The side hall became quiet again.
The night wind blew gently on the flower pot outside the railing, and the green branches in the pot trembled slightly. In the forest in the distance, squirrels ran faster on the branches.
"Tonight, the palace must be very lively, so I'm going to go out and have a look."
"Empress...I thought you would wait for the result of the Qingteng Banquet in the palace."
"What are you waiting for? See which college has the most promising students? I don't have this interest."
The eunuch leader was puzzled and said, "Don't you want to know if this marriage can be accomplished?"
The Holy Empress said: "It is not something they can decide whether the Xu family will marry the Qiushan family or fulfill their promises that year to recruit Chen Changsheng as their son-in-law."
The eunuch leader bowed slightly and said, "Everything in the world obeys the will of the Empress."
The Holy Queen said calmly: "You are wrong again, and this matter is not something I can decide."
The eunuch leader was slightly shocked and thought to himself, who except you, could decide the direction of this marriage?
"What you want to get married is tolerant. So whether you want to get married or not depends on your tolerance attitude."
The Holy Queen said, "That girl is an idea-making person. What's the point of no matter how many things others do? Just a joke."
...
...
There is a street outside the southern city of the Imperial Palace, which is different from the brightly lit places on the Chinese Valentine's Day. It seems a little deserted here, or it is because it is too close to the Imperial City, or it may be because it has to transport a lot of ice out here during the day, and the roads are full of water marks at night, which are so wet and cold that no one wants to set up a stall here.
This place is called Kitashiqiao, but there is no bridge. To be more precise, the arch bridge made of bluestone is fake. The Luo River bypasses the edge of the imperial city and slowly flows along the long embankment of Qidaolu in Kyoto. When you come here, you walk around and there is no drop of water under the bridge.
Not far from Beixinqiao, there is a well, which is filled with coldness, as if it is not water, but ice that will never melt forever. At this late at night, the palace in the imperial city cannot see here, and the willow branches are like dry pens dipped in ink, gently swaying around the well.
The Holy Queen Mother stood at the wellhead, holding a night pearl picked from the Gan terrace in her hand. She reached over the wellhead and let it go. The night pearl illuminated the well wall in an instant, and then fell down quickly, gradually being swallowed by the darkness at the bottom of the well.
I don't know how long it took, a buzzing sound came from the depths of the well. Because the distance was too far, the sound was not loud, and it was more like the echo of the well water slapped the well wall. But she knew it was not the sound of water, but the black dragon roaring in anger.
The black dragon was very angry because it felt that humans had deceived themselves again. He had clearly agreed to give a night pearl, and the boy took one, so you should give me two. Even if you are a woman I can't afford to offend, you can't bully people like this!
The Holy Queen Mother was a little displeased and said, "I'm a beast, that one is his. Didn't the old dragon teach you arithmetic when you were a child?"
...
...
Chen Changsheng's arithmetic is very good. To be more precise, he is very strong as long as he has the ability to learn, but he is not strong in recognizing the way. After leaving the side palace and entering the deep palace under the night, he soon discovered himself.
2000
u8ff7 is on the way.
The stars are in the sky and the lights are in front of him. He knows where the north is, so he can naturally determine where the south is. He can even vaguely see the lights in the Weiyang Palace. However, there are many flowers and trees in the palace and the roads are twists and turns. He is worried that when he meets the guards, he dare not walk on the main road, and he doesn't know how to get there.
At this time, a very slight sound came from the Imperial Garden under the night.
A black sheep came out of the night, silently as if it was part of the night.
Chen Changsheng had seen it at the National Education College. He had seen it before outside the Weiyang Palace. For some reason, he was sure that the black sheep had no malice towards him. He thought for a while and said, "You...want to help me?"
The black sheep glanced at him quietly, then turned around and walked into the night.
Chen Changsheng did not dare to hesitate and quickly followed. Before leaving, he looked at the Weiyang Palace in the south. The place was still brightly lit, but the sound of rituals and music had disappeared. Where did the southern mission's proposal have reached? Is it still time for him?
...
...
The Qingteng Banquet has reached the middle section, and the Southern Mission officially began to propose marriage.
There are many big figures in the Weiyang Palace, such as the Lishan Elder Xiaomatsu Palace, the Saint Maiden Peak, such as Mao Qiuyu, the Director of the Heavenly Daoyuan, Xu Shiji, Chenliu Wang and Mo Yu. They play different roles in the process of proposing marriage.
There are parties involved, observers, and witnesses.
The graceful music and dance in the hall had just ended, the mellow wine and delicacies were not cold yet, and no one raised his chopsticks to eat, and people stared at the venue with a smile.
The head of the Qiushan family stood up and began to praise the ceremony. Mo Yu expressed his gratitude on behalf of the Holy Empress, saying that the Great Zhou Dynasty was very happy to see this marriage, and hoped that humans could unite more closely through this marriage to better fight against the demons.
The woman on Saint Maiden Peak is Xu Yourong's uncle. She represents the saint of the contemporary southern sect and agrees with this marriage. Xu Shiji then stood up, welcomed the arrival of the guests in the south, and agreed with the marriage with a reserved attitude. Of course, everyone knows that his reserve is pretending to be reserved.
How does a marriage count as a success?
Start by proposing marriage, devote oneself to the courtesy and make a contract as a book, and this is engagement.
Heaven, Earth, Lord, Parents and Teachers.
Now, the Holy Empress agreed to this marriage, Xu Shiji agreed to this marriage, and the saints of the Southern Sect agreed to this marriage.
The world is speechless. Now the king, relatives and teachers agree to this marriage. In everyone's opinion, this marriage is naturally successful. No one has ever thought about what Xu Yourong's attitude towards this marriage. Of course, no one has ever thought that Xu Yourong would object.
As the most dazzling couple of young generation in mainland China, the marriage between Xu Yourong and Qiushan Jun is considered a match made by heaven in everyone's eyes. The story between them has been circulating in the world for a long time, and everyone thinks it is the most beautiful story.
Next, the last question in the engagement ceremony.
The etiquette of the Great Zhou Dynasty was not complicated, mainly from the relevant Taoist scriptures of the state religion. As the state religion became more and more prosperous, the Zhou rituals were also promoted to the south. The southern missions proposed marriage tonight, which was completely carried out according to the Zhou rituals. It was not purely respecting the women, but they themselves were the same.
The so-called three questions are to ask the world, relatives, and masters, but they will object to this marriage, and the last question is to ask the world.
The reason why these three questions are found in the Zhou Li, especially the last question, is to give the world the last chance to point out the hidden problems of the man or the woman. In fact, this kind of thing rarely happens, and it is more like giving the man or the woman the last chance to repent.
Generally speaking, few people object to the engagement ceremony, because it means offending the man and the woman at the same time. It is obvious tonight that neither party can regret it, so the final interview with the world is naturally a formality.
King Chenliu stood in front of the hall, looked at the hundreds of people in the hall, and asked with a smile: "Qiushan Jun wants to be married to Xu Yourong, but is anyone objecting?"
The hall was silent, but the atmosphere was not suppressed, and everyone's faces were full of smiles. At such a beautiful moment, people only thought about blessings, and only thought about waiting for King Chenliu to ask, and then they stood up to both parties to the marriage.
103e
95d wine is considered to celebrate.
On the seat of the National Education College in the corner, Luo Luo's little face had no smile, only the paleness brought by shock - she had untied the tips in her sleeves, looked at the already yellow wedding book, and looked at the two names on the wedding book, and then she realized that her joke that day was actually true. She finally understood what the grudge between Mr. and the Dongyu Shen General's Mansion was, and she knew why Mo Yu and others tried their best to make Mr. not present...
I have to ask three times in the world.
King Chenliu smiled gently and asked again: "Is anyone objecting?"
The hall is still quiet, people's faces are full of blessing smiles, and the world is extremely beautiful.
King Chenliu glanced at Xu Shiji and smiled to congratulate him.
Xu Shiji gently stroked his short beard, no longer deliberately reserved, and nodded in greeting.
King Chenliu looked at the head of Qiushan family again and nodded with a smile.
The head of the Akiyama family smiled and said nothing, and was obviously extremely happy.
King Chenliu looked into the hall and asked for the last time: "Who is there any objection?"
The whole world agrees with this marriage, but no one opposes it.
So, the whole world was quiet and beautiful, and everyone was waiting.
In the corner, Luoluo suddenly stood up.
No one noticed her.
At this moment, a sound came from outside the hall.
"I object."
A young man walked in from the hall gate.
He was wet all over, his black hair was scattered, his clothes were torn, and he looked embarrassed.
He looked at the people in the hall with bright eyes and firm expressions.
The hall suddenly became quiet.
Chapter completed!
