Xuanqing Palace is located on the right side of the central area of Xianyang Palace. It is a reconstruction of the former side hall palace. It is very vast. When you go out from the main hall, the wind blows under your feet, bringing Xufan behind you back to the front door.
There, a group of visitors had already stopped, and the honored people on the carriage slowly stepped off. The maids in light red dresses lined up on both sides. The palace slaves were waiting beside the carriage, silently.
The owners of the two carriages were approaching, and the first thing that caught their eyes was naturally the graceful and luxurious Lady of Chu. She was originally a princess of Chu. Due to the hundreds of years of marriage between Qin and Chu, she entered Xianyang and became a first-class lady.
The two phoenixes that came to Sichuan are mainly in fiery red, with peach brocade embroidered with fine plum blossoms on their necks. There is a crown of smoke in the water, with a begonia pearl flower embedded in it. On both sides, long purple jade necklaces hang down to the shoulders and forehead.
There is a jade moon hanging by my side, and Cangshan jasper pendants hang in my ears.
Wearing a golden-red court dress embroidered with phoenixes dancing in the sky, a nine-hole exquisite jade belt is tied around the waist. Thin pearl tassels hang down on both sides of the slender waist. The clouds and green rain belts are held on both arms, one foot long and as long as
The hem of the skirt stretches behind you, adding a sense of elegance to your wealth and splendor.
As a princess of the Chu Kingdom, her appearance is naturally extraordinary. Her beautiful hand is gently holding a child, about four years old, with delicate eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and bright eyes. Like Mrs. Chu, she wears the same red brocade robe.
She was wearing Fire Cloud boots, a jade belt on her waist, and beautiful jade around her body. Her delicate hair was combed in the style of a Chu noble. Seeing this, Zhou Qing gave Mrs. Chu a meaningful look.
"Master, you don't need to be polite. I heard the report from the palace, and the master returned to the palace from outside. I wanted to bring Fusu to see the master. Unexpectedly, the master was summoned to Zhangtai Palace by the king."
"Therefore, I brought Fusu here to express my gratitude."
"Fusu, why don't you come and write the birthday gift that the master gave you?"
The ancestor of the Chu State was the legendary Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, who was later inherited by Zhuan Xu. He worshiped the divine bird fire and phoenix, and used the color of flame as the main color of the country. Now even if Mrs. Chu enters the Qin Palace, she will not change the true character of the Chu State.
However, the Empress Dowager Huayang had not died. In the Qin Palace, she was the leader of the hierarchy, and the King of Qin could not care about it. Mrs. Chu nodded to Zhou Qing, then spoke crisply, turned slightly, and looked at the person beside her.
Child Fusu.
"Fusu thanked Master for his gift."
"Book of Rites: Qu Li Shang says: It is not polite to go but not come. It is not polite to come but not go. The master has attended Fusu's birthday ceremony twice. Today, Mrs. Chu will lead the way and meet the master!
"
At such a young age, he speaks out the words of "Book of Rites" with a crisp and clear voice, and is extremely well-mannered. He exudes a different kind of aristocratic aura. Now that he has learned the Confucian use of "Book of Rites", he wants to learn other Confucian principles.
I also learned something.
At such an age, he was instilled with the Confucian teachings. Looking at Fusu Fangzheng's bow, it seems that there are experts in Huayang Palace.
"Haha, it's just a plaything, it's hard to live in an elegant place. I'm fine if you like it. Madam, please come in!"
With a bright smile and a wave of his hand, a soft force helped Xiao Fusu up. At the same time, he led Mrs. Chu and Fusu into the main hall. As for Xu Fan, he had already entered the Xuanqing Palace first, preparing to
Tea stuff.
The Xuanqing Palace is quiet and elegant, with no extravagant things. When you enter the main entrance, you are greeted by Zhou Qing, enter the main hall, and sit upright at the head. Little Fusu follows closely, accompanying Chu in an orderly manner.
Madam's side.
"A few days ago, I heard from Lord Changping that the master once again saved the king from a critical situation in Xinzheng and made great contributions. Therefore, today I also came to thank the master on the order of the empress dowager."
"In the previous Yewang city, and during the recent trip to Xinzheng, the king was concerned about the safety of the country. The master saved the king from danger many times. It can be seen that he is highly valued by the king!"
The fire phoenix brocade robe hung down on one side, and Mrs. Chu knelt down quietly beside the case. Looking at the Taoist Xuan Qingzi in front of her, what Chang Ping Jun said to her involuntarily passed through her mind.
The power of the Qin Kingdom is unstoppable. The Chu Kingdom's first king has passed away. Li Yuan is in charge of the country and controls the country's affairs. I am afraid that the future will be worrying. As relatives of Chu State, no matter how the Chu Kingdom becomes, it is also their foundation.
Lord Changping is making preparations for the follow-up of Chu State. Although the Empress Dowager Huayang is extremely noble now, she is already old after all. If something unexpected happens to her, they, the relatives from abroad in Chu, will be severely hit.
Within the Qin Palace, they must look for foreign aid. Thanks to the late King Xiaowen, Chu foreign relatives have risen. Unfortunately, in recent years, they have been suppressed by Wenxinhou Lu Buwei. Now Changping Jun assists the king and has gradually weakened Wenxinhou's power.
.
At that time, without the presence of Wen Xinhou, the Chu foreign relatives will be the largest force in the entire government and the public. This is both a good thing and a very dangerous thing.
Decades ago, when the Qin Dynasty proclaimed the Queen Mother, the Chu foreign relatives were extremely powerful, but they were abruptly divided and disintegrated by the villain Ying Hou Fan Ju, and they did not recover for twenty years.
In recent years, through the eyes of Lord Changping, Taoist Tianzong Xuan Qingzi has gradually come into view. Although this man is young, his thoughts and actions are not inferior to those of hundreds of famous figures. The key is that he is particularly respected by the king.
If it's just that, that's it. The key point is that what the other party has done has gone beyond what they know about the disciples of the Taoist Heavenly Sect. Heaven, earth, and books are gradually spreading to all countries. It is absolutely impossible to say that the other party does not have a deep-seated purpose.
As for the Yin Yang Family and Gui Gu Gai Nie, their thoughts and deeds are not on the same line as them, so this is another purpose of coming here today. Of course, there is a more important point, that is, the other party is a Taoist heaven.
A disciple of the sect.
Taoist Tianzong is a magical sect. Although its power is not obvious, it is mysterious and ranks first among hundreds of sects.
"As the right guardian of the palace, Xuan Qing has the duty to protect the king. If the protection is not effective, it will be Xuan Qing's dereliction of duty."
"This is the purple cloud orchid wine that Xuan Qing brought back from his trip to Xinzheng. It contains the essence of flowers and plants. It is not wine, but another kind of wine. It is quite pleasant when it goes into the throat. Drinking it for a long time has the effect of rejuvenating your appearance.
"
"Young master, drinking it for a long time can also regulate yin and yang and strengthen the body!"
Standing on one side of the hall, he couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle when he heard Mrs. Chu's words. She mentioned Changping Lord Xiong Qi. In this way, he seemed to have guessed the purpose of the other party's visit.
Looking at Xiao Fusu who was sitting upright at this moment, a bright light rose in the depths of his eyes, and his peripheral vision moved slightly. On the side of the main hall, a graceful figure walked in, with a beautiful appearance, elegant and pleasant appearance, wearing an orange long dress.
skirt, and her hair was combed under a golden ribbon.
He is walking on lotus steps with cloud boots on his feet, holding a wooden plate in his hand, on which are placed an exquisite purple jade pot and three purple jade tea cups. These are things the other party took away from Zilanxuan, and were also given by Zi's mother.
Gift.
She lowered her eyebrows and walked into the hall with thoughtful etiquette. It seemed that in Zilanxuan, the things Zinu taught were really quite big. She nodded to Nongyu and waved her hand, and there were two cups filled with purple cloud orchid brew.
The jade lamp fell in front of Mrs. Chu and Fusu.
He waved his hand while holding the purple jade cup, bowed his hand, smiled brightly, and drank it in one gulp. The drink was fragrant on the lips and mellow in the mouth, without the overbearing influence of strong liquor, but with a hint of sweetness of sake.
"Oh, a very beautiful woman. She is very polite in both movements and movements, but it is different from Qin and Chu. It is more like the Zongzheng etiquette from Han and Wei. This person... was brought back by the master from Xinzheng?"
Mrs. Chu had no doubts. Since Master Xuanqing said this, she thought that this cup of Ziyun Orchid Brewing must be unique. There was a hint of fragrance spreading in her nose, like the fragrance of orchid, unlike the mellow wines that she usually smelled.
Sipping it gently, her beautiful eyes flashed, and she nodded gently to Zhou Qing. Then, she moved her hand slightly and looked at Fusu. She didn't drink it all in one gulp, but put it to one side and looked at Fusu.
