The two of them joked with each other and then stood by the lakeside in silence.
Today, Yao Wenxin tied her long hair, which was always hanging on her shoulders, into a simple bun.
A simple golden hairpin and two phoenix flying steps are "inserted" among thousands of blue hairs, noble and elegant.
Without the cover of her long hair, her pink neck like mutton-fat white jade was exposed, and it seemed that it could be broken by blowing.
Yao Wenxin's skin has an unusual translucency, as if it were a piece of jade. Normally, looking at her delicate hands, one can't help but want to "touch" it. Now, with the little earlobe "exposed", it is even more attractive.
Can't control it.[
The white clothes of the past are all dressed in dark green clothes, standing on the misty and rainy lakeside, complementing the bamboo forest behind them.
She never liked dressing up, but suddenly she looked more elegant and charming when she dressed up like this.
I still remember the first time I saw her in the Tomb of the Demon King, she was so beautiful and terrifying.
However, through a series of encounters, she went from being the supreme celestial demon to the girl next door she is today, which is really embarrassing.
After taking her all the way from the northwest, Liu Xia's feelings for her were very complicated.
There is a trace of fear and a trace of worry in this.
The fear is that she is afraid of her heavenly demon nature, and the worry is that she will regain her memory one day.
Keeping her with you is like a time bomb.
Liu Xia still remembers the night during the siege of Wangjia Fort, when this woman effortlessly reduced the impregnable Wangjia Fort to rubble.
At the same time, I also remember seeing her clear eyes when I woke up the next day.
Like a little girl who was inexperienced in the world, she had forgotten her identity and her hatred, and just followed him all the way from the northwest to Longdu.
"What are you thinking about?"
Yao Wenxin looked at the calm lake and asked suddenly.
"Of course I'm thinking of you."
Liu Xia smiled nonchalantly.
"What do you want from me?"
Yao Wenxin suddenly looked at Liu Xia, making Liu Xia feel slightly guilty.
"I'm thinking about that scene when we met."
"But, I can't remember anything."[
Yao Wenxin sighed softly. Suddenly, she stared at Liu Xia and said, "At that time, did we really make a lifelong commitment?"
"Is this still false? Of course it is. When have I ever lied to you?"
Liu Xia patted her chest and asked. Yao Wenxin had asked this question more than once.
"But why do I feel that you don't like me at all?"
Suddenly, Yao Wenxin asked in confusion.
"How is that possible? I just think your memory has not recovered yet, and I just don't want to take advantage of you. Or, let's consummate the marriage tonight."
Liu Xia said with a smile.
"Consultation? What is that?"
Yao Wenxin looked at Liu Xia suspiciously, her purple eyes shining with a strange light, which made Liu Xia feel a little guilty.
"Haha, to consummate the marriage is to perform the ceremony of Duke Zhou, which means that men and women enter the bridal chamber."
Liu Xia hurriedly smiled.
"Then what is the purpose of entering the bridal chamber??"
Yao Wenxin is obviously ready to figure this out.
"Well, it's a sentence or two. I can't explain it clearly. Why don't we try it tonight. You'll understand then."
Liu Xia said hurriedly.
"Okay, I'll wait for you in my room tonight. You have to come."
Yao Wenxin smiled.
Liu Xia was stunned. She didn't expect that this matter would go so smoothly. The happiness came so suddenly, and some of them were a little overwhelmed.
"Okay, then let's make an agreement."
After saying that, Liu Xia left with a guilty conscience.
Yao Wenxin frowned, looked at Liu Xia's back suspiciously, and remained silent.
In the heavy mist and rain, the shore of Yiren Lake looks like a beautiful picture scroll, frozen in this moment for a long time.[
After bidding farewell to Yao Wenxin, Liu Xia headed towards the lobby in the backyard.
Now it is the working place of their temporary working group.
The side rooms on both sides are where they work, and the central hall is where meetings are held.
When I got here, Liu Liansheng happened to come in. When he saw Liu Xia, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, something happened."
Seeing his panic, Liu Xia hurriedly said: "Speak slowly. What happened?"
"Your Majesty, Tong Dawei just sent news from the inn. The official ship escorting the arrested crew and escorts and the official ship transporting the bodies of the robbers both caught fire inexplicably. On the way back, they were burned down."
After hearing what he said, Liu Xia frowned and asked, "Where are our wounded brothers and Tong Dawei?"
"Fortunately, Tong Baihu was alert and took his brothers to put out the fire after it broke out. However, the fire was so bad that we had to abandon the ship in the end. The brothers are all fine. They are already on another merchant ship and are on their way back."
Liu Liansheng said.
Liu Xia felt a little angry at this moment.
I feel like I'm being led by others all the time, and I'm always so passive.
It's frustrating to want to attack without knowing who the enemy is.
"I see."
Liu Xia said calmly, then turned around and said: "Let's make arrangements in the evening. I want to meet Prince Tai."
Liu Liansheng couldn't help but be stunned. What does Prince Tai have to do with this matter? What does Liu Xia mean?
The carriage walked on the flat road, shaking slightly.
The roads in the imperial city are paved with one-meter-square lianyun stone, with a mixture of volcanic ash and dragon tooth rice poured into the middle to make it stronger than the road.
However, after hundreds of years, no matter how solid something is, it will become pitted.
It can be seen that nothing can rival the passage of time.
The monks in Dragon Soul Continent are trying one after another to defeat their biggest enemy, the years.
In the end, how many were successful?
Liu Xia looked outside, and the imperial city of Nuoda looked like a ghost town at night.
Surrounded by several high-walled courtyards, there were almost no people on this street. Sometimes, there were also hurried carriages passing by them.
However, outsiders may never know how many secrets are hidden in such a city.
This Prince Tai, if Bai Rongxuan hadn't reminded him, he might never have laid eyes on him.
However, when your eyes fall on him, you will find that there are indeed many doubts.
From the money sent to the prince's fiefdom to the corpses now being transported by water.
Although it seems to be a coincidence, when I think of Prince Tai, I feel that there is no such thing as a coincidence.
The Prince of Thailand is in charge of national water transportation, responsible for dredging rivers, repairing dams, preventing floods and droughts, etc.
Originally, these matters should be in charge of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs, but the Tianji Dynasty learned the lessons of the Daqing Dynasty.
Such a lucrative job is prone to corrupt officials. Repairs to rivers and dams always cause problems every year, and the money spent is not always good.
Simply leave it to your own people. You are greedy for what you have, but if you repair the river for me and let the people live and work in peace and contentment, I won't have to trouble those officials every now and then.
One stone achieves many things, so the brother of the founding emperor of the country did this job.
It was just a strange combination of circumstances. The first Prince Tai saw that the people of the Daqing Dynasty were struggling to make a living because of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, so he always wanted to build a unified world.
Now that my brother has become the emperor, I might as well build rivers and benefit the people.
As a result, the first Prince of Thailand regarded this as his lifelong career.
During his tenure, he built 377 dams and dredged tens of millions of meters of rivers. He was an upright man who cared about the country and the people. No matter where he went, the local people would always see him off under the umbrella of the people.
The people are simple and kind, and their demands are just that.
As long as someone is good to them, they will remember it from generation to generation.
Prince Tai has indeed done a lot of good deeds and has always been known as a wise king.
However, good people do not live long. The first Prince of Thailand only lived less than fifty-seven years old and then left Hexi.
Therefore, his son Prince Taihe inherited his father's title. As a result, perhaps because his father had too much influence on his son, the second Prince Taihe also focused on building water conservancy.
Under his leadership, the Yonghe Dam, the largest project of the Tianji Dynasty, was built.
Although Liu Xia had never been there, he had heard people say that it was a miracle, and it ended the history of floods in many places in the south of the Yangtze River.
The people in the south of the Yangtze River were grateful, and the emperor was deeply moved, so he promoted his ambitious nephew to the Iron Hat Prince. From then on, the line of Prince Tai was hereditary.
Perhaps, his brother was not very good at fighting on the battlefield or tearing up territories, but he was good at governing the country.
It is also appropriate to get this iron-hatted prince.
The current Prince of Thailand is said to be around sixty years old. He is a low-key man and it seems that you rarely hear anything from him.
Among the eight iron-hatted kings of Tianji Dynasty, he seems to be the one with the least rumors.
Arriving outside the palace of Prince Tai, Liu Xia got out of the car and saw a solid gold plaque hanging on the residence with the words "loyalty and filial piety" written on it.
Judging from the promotion, it should have been given by the founding emperor.
Prince Tai's palace has a history as long as the Tianji Dynasty. It seems that the steps at the door are covered with moss. On such a rainy night, the entire palace seems extremely quiet.
The old housekeeper of the palace had been waiting outside the door for a long time. When he saw Liu Xia, he clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, please come inside."
Immediately, he followed the old housekeeper and walked towards the flower hall.
Prince Tai's palace has been run for generations and seems to have much more foundation than Liu Xia's palace.
The servants I met on the road bowed their heads and bowed their heads, not daring to show their dignity, for fear that if they said one more word, they would take a wrong step and be punished.
But from this point, we can see that this is not something that an upstart like Liu Xia can compare with.
When I walked to the door of the flower hall, I saw a man wearing a white double-breasted gown and a jade crown on his head. He was simple, neat and elegant.
This man was tall and slightly stout because of his age, but his expression also revealed the majesty of a high-ranking person.
This person is the protagonist Liu Xia is going to meet tonight.
"Sir, Prince Weiyuan has arrived."
After the old housekeeper finished speaking, he bowed slightly and backed away.
"I am here to see Prince Tai, who is a thousand years old."
Liu Xia hurriedly saluted.
"Get up, get up. It's raining outside, come in and say something."
Immediately, Prince Tai let Liu Xia into the hall.
In the hall, there was still a young man standing. Liu Xia looked very familiar and was thinking about what he had seen there.
Duan Yunli bowed his head and said: "Duan Yunli, a humble minister, has met Prince Weiyuan. The prince must remember me more than him, but I remember the prince's heroic appearance. I was present at the poem contest at the second prince's house that day."
"It turns out to be the crown prince. Why does he look familiar to me?"
Liu Xia smiled lightly.
Liu Xia had a good impression of this young man.
Firstly, he does not have the domineering virtues of the young Duke, and secondly, he seems to admire Liu Xia very much.
"Your Majesty is busy with so many things every day that he can't remember what he's doing. That's what he should do."
Duan Yunli said.
"Haha, Prince Weiyuan, this is my grandson. I heard you were coming today and I was excited all afternoon. I made you laugh."
