Chapter 54

The sedan chair for Xie Cijiu was driven away, and the queen then turned her head and told the people around her: "Stay away, I have something to say to the prince alone."

"Yes."

The maids and eunuchs backed away one after another, the prince took the palace lantern from Zhou Quan and carried it, "Mother, please tell me."

The queen gave him a deep look, and sighed: "Did you go out and see Yongning just now?"

The prince was stunned: "How does the queen mother know?"

The queen chuckled, "Do you still want to hide it from your mother? The mother has watched you grow up, and the mother and mother know your nature best. The mother knows the reason for your every move."

She kept her eyes fixed, and spoke at a slow pace, as if she was really just talking to the prince about something insignificant, "After you came back, you looked at Yongning from time to time, and the queen mother noticed it, why, you fell in love with Yongning?"

The prince was silent for a moment, and said frankly: "I don't know, but I seem to like it."

"If you like it, you like it. Where did it come from?"

"It's because I met her for the first time, so it seems not prudent to say that I like her so easily."

The queen paused, and looked at him resentfully, "You were taught very well by those masters, you have to pay attention to following the rules in everything, but things like feelings are never bound by rules."

The prince was startled: "What does the queen mother mean?"

"Since you have feelings, then you should take the initiative. Don't wait until this flower is picked up before you realize that you regret it."

The queen sighed and turned around and continued to walk forward, her voice blended in the wind and she felt a little lonely, "There are flowers that can be folded straight, don't wait for flowers without flowers to fold branches (Golden Thread Clothes)."

The prince stood there thoughtfully for a moment before catching up.

……

The emperor left the banquet early, but did not return to the harem. He went directly to his bedroom and met someone.

"How is it? The calamity has been eliminated, and the celestial phenomenon can be solved?" The emperor sat cross-legged on the futon in a thin coat, with a Buddha statue in front of him.

The man wrapped in a black robe stood in the shadows, his voice was hoarse and rough, "Go back to the emperor, the crisis is over, but there is another vision."

"Vision? What vision?" The emperor frowned, his face was very ugly, "Didn't you say that as long as you get rid of the green dragon and white tiger, I will be able to sit firmly in the country? Why did you have another vision?"

Hearing his questioning tone, the black-robed man was upset, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. He knelt down respectfully, "The emperor calms down. Although there is a vision from the sky, we don't know the omen for now, so it may not be a bad thing." .”

"Isn't it a bad thing?" The emperor's face paled slightly: "How should I say it?"

The man in black knelt and said: "The vision dissipated half way through, maybe it was caused by evildoers but was frightened by the dragon spirit of protecting the country, so it didn't fully appear, but even so, you still can't be careless. I will continue to observe, please be at ease, Your Majesty."

As if feeling that flattering wasn't enough, the black-robed man continued to brag: "The emperor is the right man, protected by a golden dragon, and no evil spirits can get close to him, so the emperor doesn't need to worry too much."

Sure enough, after hearing his words, the emperor's complexion improved visibly, and finally he laughed, "That's natural, I am the Son of Heaven, who dares to disrespect me?"

He let out a deep breath, "Okay, you go down first, I'll let you know if I have something to do."

"Yes."

The man in black stood up and disappeared into the darkness, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

The emperor sat on the futon for a while, got up and pressed a mechanism, the incense case suddenly turned over, revealing the things on the back.

It was a tablet without a word.
