Under the rising sun, cracks of golden light illuminated the straight roads and high walls.
It was the enthronement of Prince Chen Huanan Xin today. Then a new emperor replaced the old emperor, turning a new page in history. The reign title was changed to be "Ren Xian".
When the blessing time came, in the imperial city, all kinds of instruments were exactly played in a certain rhythm.
Prince Chen Huanan Xin had already taken off the mourning dress. At that time, he wore a golden imperial garment, with a crown decorated in 12 strings of jade beads on his head. The man stood proudly on the top, lowering his eyes and looking down on the officers under the tower.
Three sounds of imperial bells were clocked and the jade bead curtains were high lifted. Towards the gate tower, officers made a formal salute of three kowtows and five greets.
Stroking a silk ribbon, Prince Chen quietly and complacently smiled. He only felt that
"Still alive?"Tightly staring at Cheng Wanli's weird face, Min Rui suddenly turned his expression. He only felt that everything was in an incredible reversal.Despite the fact that he was unaccountably excited to hear Leng Qingtang was alive, he was also astonished by Cheng Wanli's gloomy and weird face, being in puffs of chill."He is alive indeed..."Cheng Wanli and Min Rui looked at each other in their eyes. In Cheng Wanli's dim and blank eyes, there were cloudy mists and plenty of coldness."But... but at that time, Master Leng was still in Southern Jiang. When and where did you meet him?"Soon, another question occurred to Min Rui.Certainly, even in the simplest assumption, when Cheng Wanli accepted the imperial decree and led his members be aboard on the sea, Leng Qingtang could be still in Southern Jiang. Therefore, they should never have a chance to meet each other.
It was in Duke Min's Mansion, Guiping.Four hours ago, Eunuch Liu appointed his retinue to get into this mansion and deliver a few boxes of cakes and pastries. They were said to be the imperial foods awarded by the new emperor to Duke Min's families.Duchess Min in the official suit felt so grateful and expressed her appreciation. She also took a silver ingot to the delivery eunuch and sent him off. Then she happily ate those cakes and pastries together with servants.Therefore, the tragedy happened.When Min Rui and Min Jun crazily galloped to the mansion, in Tangfeng Yard where Duchess Min lived, there stood crowds of people.They stood on the porch outside the room, anxiously waiting for the result.Soon, doctors lifted the curtain and walked out. All of them looked sad and worried, repeatedly sighing and shaking heads."How is it going? How is my wife?"Min Rui staggere
"Master Leng... Are you really alive?"In the mourning hall, Min Rui stared at the man in dark at the incense burner table. He was too shocked to know what to say.With a beaming countenance, the man's smile gradually turned cold. It seemed that his look was covered with the white fog of a frozen river, which was inexplicably cold and complex."Well, Duke, are you unhappy to see me alive?""No. No."Min Rui awkwardly winked and waved his hand in succession. Then he saw the left half of the man's face in shock.On the pale skin, there was a half-growing scar. It was ghoulish and hideous like an old ugly reptile.Min Rui pointed to the scar rockily and muttered,"Master… Master Leng, your face..."The man raised his eyebrows and casually touched his left face with a smile,"On the way back, we were shipwrecked. No big deal."The so-calle
In Tingxiang Yard, the night was as dark as ink with sparse stars.Gu Yunxi felt restless in the room.In just a few days, she was bombarded with all kinds of bad news.Emperor Jingxiao, Empress Qian, and the Master all died. Now Yunyao's mother was also dead.As for her two best friends, one's whereabouts were unknown, and the other, a fool, became an Emperor.Gu Yunxi wondered what was wrong with the world.Now the situation was chaotic. Gu Di staged a comeback with his men. He pretended to be the Commander-in-chief of the Eastern Depot and incited Duke Min to kill the new Emperor, Huanan Xin.No matter whether this initiative could be successful, it was difficult to say whether Gu Di would follow Huanan Xin to kick down the ladder and kill Min Rui and his son in terms of his cruelty.In any case, Min Rui and his son were Yunyao's only living family members, so Gu Yunxi w
On the sixth day of August, the honor guards of the new Emperor Huanan Xin arrived in Guiping and were ceremoniously welcomed into the palace by the local sheriff.The Observatory Director was called into the palace to explain to the new Emperor the results of the recent survey of Wei Sea and state that the ninth day of this month would be the day of the spectacular reappearance of "Water Dragon" in the Kunhuang Island once every 11 years.Huanan Xin was overjoyed, although he was completely skeptical about the statement of the presence of the Dragon God. Because he firmly believed that it was nonsense that Leng Qingtang and Yu Xuanji talked to the previous Emperor in order to achieve their goals.However, as a new Emperor, since he came to Guiping in person, he always had to do something in front of people.In short, as long as the two things he valued most, a half jade seal and Yunxi, could be obtained smoothly as planned,
A eunuch took a wine pot into the glazed hall. When he poured wine for the new Emperor Huanan Xin, he quietly gave a look.Huanan Xin understood what he meant. He looked at the girl and said with a flattering smile,"Yunxi, I'm so happy that you can come to dinner with me. Enjoy your meal."The girl looked calm and said coldly,"I'm not hungry. His Majesty, please let the singers and dancers out. I have something to say to you."Huanan Xin was a little surprised. He didn't answer. He just got up, waved his sleeves, and asked the imperial bodyguards and dancers to leave the hall.For a long time, the wide hall was quiet. Time and all things were like dead. It was a little scary to be quiet like that.The girl looked around. She looked at the flickering candles on a nearby copper crane platform.After waiting for a long time, Huanan Xin didn't see the girl speak. He looked em
The moon was big at night, and its cool white brilliance penetrated the thin clouds.Cheng Wanli was instructed to find out about Gu Yunxi in Guiping Residence, only to hear that she could not hold the drink at the night banquet and had been arranged to sleep in the Residence.Cheng Wanli immediately felt that something was wrong, but he did not dare to take her away forcibly, so he had to ride the horse back alone.The horse ran wildly under the bright moonlight. The loess avenue was wide and empty, and the dense trees on both sides retreated at a high speed.Suddenly, the night birds in front of him flew into the sky in groups, as if they had been frightened. The birds flapped their wings desperately under the sky, ramming each other and flying into the sky.Normally, Cheng Wanli would immediately stop the horse, be alert to the surroundings, move forward or take a detour, and then make plans.How
Taking advantage of the darkness, Lu Qiange's fleet arrived at a hidden beach in Guiping secretly. After the personnel landed quickly, they hid on the west side of the nearby foothills.At this time, they were sitting around the faint bonfire, listening to Cheng Wanli's recount of the past.Cheng Wanli just got rid of the control of the "Puppet Art", so his memories were still intermittent. But he could give an outline when he tried hard to recall.As he said, at that time, according to the deceased emperor’s decree, he took the first team, the second team, and the third team of the Eastern Depot to go on board and set off from the Jinmen Ferry. After that, their fleet encountered a storm and caught fire. Soon after it was far away from the channel, they encountered the Master's fleet.Cheng Wanli didn't understand that the Master was still in Southern Jiang at that time, so it was impossible for him to meet the teams of the
