Rebirth of Peach Blossom

Chapter 5: The Gentle Man

When the emperor arrived, all the concubines, princes, and daughters were chatting happily, the words were full of warmth inside and outside, and there was no trace of the previous turmoil. The emperor asked some questions to the princes and daughters. My children are smart and eager to learn, but they can answer fluently.

When it was Xiao Ziyu's turn, Xiao Ziyu's heart skipped a beat. She had never been treated like an imperial daughter in her previous life, let alone entered school and was reborn. Now she is only a five-year-old child. Where have you seen the way of a saint?

However, the emperor asked a question that surprised Xiao Ziyu. "Ziyu was not enlightened before, and I will not make things difficult for Ziyu. But I still have a question to ask Ziyu." After a pause, he asked the question casually, "What is a prosperous age?"

Xiao Ziyu's eyeballs rolled around, and he was a little puzzled why such a question was asked. The truth must not be explained at this time. How can a five-year-old child answer such a question?I had no choice but to pretend to be confused and answer, "Isn't the prosperous age just like the world ruled by the emperor?"

After the emperor heard this, Longyan was delighted, and said directly, "This is the first time I have seen such a clever and talking girl. You are still young, and you have never seen the world, so I judge like this. If there is a chance in the future, I will I will definitely take you to meet the great river and mountain of my Daxu Dynasty."

The concubines also laughed, and Concubine Yun smiled softly and refilled the emperor's tea, "Linghe is young, and her words come from the bottom of her heart. She respects you from the bottom of her heart, so she thinks so, it is a child's heart."

Xiao Ziyu scratched his head, looking ignorant, as if he didn't know why everyone laughed, coupled with his childish little face, he was indescribably cute.

After the emperor left, all the concubines dispersed and went back to dress up, trying to make the emperor look at them more during the dinner.Xiao Ziyu also went back to his room, and when he entered, he found that the room was full of breath. Looking up, he saw a red dress sitting on the beam.

"Master?"

There was a red light flashing in front of my eyes, and when I looked again, my master was already standing in front of me, holding a red envelope in his hand, "Happy New Year, Xiaoyu, are you five years old?"

Xiao Ziyu took the red envelope, threw it on the table, and nodded.

The man didn't mind Xiao Ziyu's attitude, he just sat down and poured a cup of tea, "I'm here to ask you on Shen Yue's behalf, do you still want to be Daxu's Holy Maiden at this time?"

Xiao Ziyu nodded without hesitation.

The man in red asked suspiciously with playfulness in his eyes, "Now you are very favored, you are still Ling and the princess, stay in the palace well, and find a good man to marry when you are old, isn't it great?"

Xiao Ziyu also poured a cup of tea for himself, "Pigs in the pigsty, stay in the pen well, grow fat, and use a knife in your hand to make it a dish on the plate, isn't it good?"

The man in red was stunned for a moment, then covered his stomach and laughed for a long time, "You, it's the first time I've seen you compare yourself to a pig."

Xiao Ziyu was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, this analogy was indeed inappropriate, so he couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth and laughed.

After laughing a few times, the man in red pinched his face, "You can laugh, too. It's not good for children to always have a cold face? Xiaoyu, you have to learn to be a gentle person. "

Xiao Ziyu didn't know how to respond for a while, it seemed that Cheng Wanning looked at her intently a long time ago in his memory, but the words he said were all with a sense of discomfort. "Xiao Yu, you should be a gentle person..."

It was just a daze, Xiao Ziyu took his hand away and smiled a little unskillfully, "Well, I should be a gentle person."

After the master confirmed Xiao Ziyu's intentions, he left. Xiao Ziyu rubbed his eyebrows. In fact, after taking the first step, she hesitated what to do next. There has never been an example of a saint in politics. The saint sounds famous. He is big but has no real power. In contrast, if possible, Xiao Ziyu would like to stay in the army, experience life and death with the soldiers, and gain the morale of the army.Military power is the most brutal and effective boost.

While thinking about it, he suddenly heard a rhythmic knocking sound from the window. The sound was not heavy. Xiao Ziyu guessed that it was Cheng Wanning. The window was a little high. She, however, opened it and saw that the backyard was empty. Suddenly, a hand came from below and swayed in front of her eyes in doubt. Xiao Ziyu couldn't help but curled up the corners of his lips.

It turned out that Cheng Wanning was too short and was bouncing and knocking on the window.

Xiao Ziyu grabbed Cheng Wanning's cold little hand, leaned out the window and looked down at the little child, and shouted, "Ah Ning."

Cheng Wanning looked up at Xiao Ziyu, and smiled, "Xiao Yu! I ran here secretly, so no one can find out. There are palace people outside your palace, so I can only go around and call you."

Cheng Wanning's face turned red from the cold, Xiao Ziyu asked the palace servants to retreat first, then went around to the backyard, dragged Cheng Wanning into the house, and couldn't help but scolded, "You are also running around on such a day , if you stay outside for so long, you will catch a cold."

As soon as he entered the room, he stuffed the hand stove into Cheng Wanning's arms, and was reluctant to let go of Cheng Wanning's hand, so he simply put it in his arms to keep her warm.

Cheng Wanning seemed a little uneasy, and wanted to say something a few times, but swallowed the words, Xiao Ziyu simply asked, "Why did you come to me at this hour? Did something happen?"

Cheng Wanning nodded, still looking very disturbed, "I went to play with my aunt, and I overheard the conversation between the emperor and my aunt, the emperor said, you will be the next saint, what should I do? "

Xiao Ziyu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the national teacher had already mentioned it to his father, "The saint has a high status, and I can't ask for it. What is Ah Ning worried about?"

Cheng Wanning grasped Xiao Ziyu's hand, sighed, and looked like a little adult, "You are still young and don't understand anything. The saint is just looking at the scenery. In fact, it is very painful. I can only guard Zhitian for the rest of my life." Dian, I can’t go anywhere.”

Xiao Ziyu pulled Cheng Wanning to sit down on the couch, "I won't do this, you are the only one who can guard me for the rest of my life."

Cheng Wanning's eyes widened, somewhat incomprehensible, "Stay with me?" After being stunned for a while, she rolled her eyes with a smile, "Do you mean to be friends with me forever?" Xiao Ziyu didn't answer, just looked at Looking at her with a serious look, Cheng Wanning, who was only seven years old and still a child, couldn't understand the emotion in Xiao Ziyu's eyes, but still listened to the words, like a warm current, her whole body was warmed up.

It took a while to recover, feeling a little angry, "Don't change the subject, I just ask you, are you willing to be Her Majesty the Holy Maiden?"

Seeing Cheng Wanning's nervous appearance, Xiao Ziyu couldn't help but want to tease her, and asked solemnly, "If I don't want to, what can I do?" There was a little helplessness in his tone, which was very realistic.

"Then I'll ask my aunt to help you. She loves me very much, and the emperor also cares about her very much. I'm sure I can talk."

Xiao Ziyu couldn't help but kissed Cheng Wanning's face, "I'm not unwilling, but I can't tell you why now. You will understand later."

The two of them sat on the couch and talked in a low voice, and they got tired while talking, and at some point they lay down together and hugged each other into a ball, and then they fell asleep together in this warm position.The unprecedented peace of mind made Xiao Ziyu firm in all the hesitation and panic he had had since his rebirth.

Only the royal family was invited for the dinner, and all the princes and their families were present at the banquet. The kings appointed by the first emperor have been descended from generation to generation. They obviously don’t know that they are relatives, but they are still relatives. They are related by blood, but they have never had much contact with each other. On weekdays, they are in their own fiefdoms. Coupled with power struggles, they are not much better than strangers. Once they turn their faces and become enemies, there will be no pressure at all.Therefore, how many undercurrents are there in the seemingly lively royal family banquet?

Xiao Ziyu sat quietly next to his mother and concubine, listening to all kinds of lively greetings, but his mind wandered to write down the presence of these princes one by one, and distinguish their interests from clues.When she was a princess, the Rebellion of the Seven Kings caused her father a lot of headaches, and the whole Daxu was facing the crisis of falling apart, but it was also because of the Rebellion of the Seven Kings that she took the opportunity to seek military power, and led the army as a daughter The horse quelled the rebellious princes.

This time, Xiao Ziyu didn't think about preventing wars. So many princes, after staying in their territory for a long time, always feel that they should have more territories and enjoy more, and they will not be content with their duties. Human desires and ambitions Even Xiao Ziyu couldn't prevent it.Allies are what she wants.There are always some princes who don't like wars and chaos, and have a clear mind and eyesight.

Just when everyone had drunk too much wine and got a little tipsy, a drawn-out voice of "Master National Teacher has arrived" attracted everyone's attention.

The national teacher's expression seems to be a little too happy...

The dancers and singers withdrew one after another, the national teacher walked to the emperor's side, did not salute, and said in a pleasant voice, "Your majesty, God bless you, I was informed by God's will before, and I stayed up all night for several days and nights. God's will!"

The emperor looked a little surprised, "What is God's will?"

"I boast that the next saint will have unprecedented achievements, and she will protect me and boast that the world is unparalleled!"

Everyone's drunkenness suddenly disappeared, and Xiao Ziyu also murmured in his heart. Hearing what Ah Ning said today, the national teacher has clearly discussed the matter of the saint with his father and even made a decision. What is the trouble now? out?

In the silence, the national teacher walked up to Xiao Ziyu step by step, bent down and made a big salute, "This time, the saint chosen by the heavens is on the purple emblem, shining on the purple emblem, Daxu's horoscope rewrites the chapter, and no one else Can reach..." After a pause, he said solemnly, "Please, Your Highness the Holy Maiden, please follow me to the Zhitian Palace today, as God's will dictates, it will also be the will of the people in the future, Holy Maiden, what do you think?"
