The emperors of the Song Dynasty have always advocated frugality openly, which is also the ancestral motto established by Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin.
In ordinary times, whether in court or in daily life, the emperor wore very simple clothes.
At most, it is only different from those ministers in terms of material.
But now, in order to welcome a Taoist priest, the young emperor Zhao Xu dressed up as if he were welcoming the emperor of another country, very grandly.
In the small carriage, Zhao Xu knew that the emperor was standing outside without opening the curtain.
Because from across the carriage, she could hear the breathing of a group of heavily armed soldiers outside.
The breathing of these people is unusually even and uniform.
They are obviously a group of rigorously trained Imperial Guards.
Only the people around the emperor have such ability and momentum.
Ximen Qing's eyes rolled.
Then he took out a bamboo tube from the wooden box.
Before she opened the bamboo tube, she shook it vigorously a few times. There seemed to be liquid inside.
The moment he opened the bamboo tube, billowing smoke actually came out!
This is not the pungent smoke, but like clouds and mist, which instantly fills the entire carriage.
And it also seeps out towards the outside.
Zhao Xu was originally standing on the steps, waiting for the immortal to appear.
As soon as he saw the billowing clouds and mist coming out of the carriage, he immediately clasped his hands and gave a big salute to the carriage.
"Meet the Immortal!"
When the people around him saw that the emperor had done this, they didn't dare to hesitate and hurriedly followed suit.
Ximen Qing nodded slightly and winked at Lao Lin.
Then he took the lead and walked out with a swaggering step.
Zhao Xu couldn't help but was stunned when he saw a female Taoist girl carved in pink and jade coming out of the carriage.
And for some reason, the moment he saw Ximen Qing, Zhao Xu's heartbeat suddenly accelerated!
This is an unprecedented feeling!
Even when facing Wei Wan, what emerged in his heart was a strong desire and impulse to possess her.
This impulse is like wanting to blow dry when you are hot, drinking water when you are thirsty, and eating when you are hungry.
This is a desire!
But the moment he saw Ximen Qing, Zhao Xu felt that he was suddenly standing on an empty grassland.
There are countless flowers blooming all around.
And the most beautiful scenery is the little Taoist boy in front of you!
Seeing Ximen Qing and Lao Lin pretending to be Taoist priests appear together in front of them.
Zhao Xu quickly stepped forward, bowed again with his hands in hand.
"The Immortal has come a long way, but he has come a long way to welcome you!"
Although Lao Lin was frightened now, he was a veteran driver (cartman) for many years after all. His hands were very steady and did not tremble at all.
In addition, Ximen Qing asked him to keep his face expressionless, so instead Shui showed a state of being a master who could not express his emotions or anger.
But Ximen Qing relied on the strength of others, and pretended to be powerful, so he was quickly fooled.
Zhao Xu also introduced them into the hall with a sincere look.
The palace is very big and the floor is very slippery.
When Lao Lin was walking, he staggered accidentally.
Fortunately, Ximen Qing reached out to support him in time.
Although the body was not crooked, it still made a slight sound.
Zhao Xu, who was walking in front, couldn't help but turn around when he heard the sound.
"Chief Immortal, do you have anything to tell me?"
Just when Lao Lin was so frightened that he almost wet his pants, Ximen Qing suddenly spoke.
"My master said that the official brought us into this hall with such grand ceremony because there is something that requires master to answer our questions."
The smile on Zhao Xu's face continued: "It's true, I don't know..."
Ximen Qing did not let Zhao Xu continue speaking, but interrupted him,
"Although the official family ranks above ten thousand people, there is one person who gives you a huge headache."
