Cultivating Immortality, Starts with Green Plum

Chapter 379: The Dragon Queen wants to see me again?

Outside the Dragon Palace, in the courtyard, Zhu Cici sat in a chair in a daze.

In Zhu Cici's mind, Xu Ming's words from not long ago were echoing.

The scenes that happened when Zhu Cici and Xu Ming met kept appearing in his mind.

As he thought about it, Zhu Cici couldn't help but sigh.

Zhu Cici subconsciously stretched out his hand and placed it on his knee to gesture, and said to himself gently: "At that time, he was only this tall..."

Ten years ago, Xu Ming was only as tall as my knees, and even at that time, I was half a head taller than him.

Now, he is already this big.
"Humph, so what if she's taller? Compared to when she was little, she's not as cute as she was when she was little. When she was little, she was chubby and spoke sweetly. Now she's pretty, but not as pretty as she was when she was little, and her speech isn't sweet either."

Zhu Cici pouted and lay on the table.

Zhu Cici seemed to be cursing Xu Ming in her heart, but the more she cursed, the more frustrated Zhu Cici felt.

"And that princess, is she really that good? Do you think so highly of her? Your opinion of me is not even half as high as hers. But it seems you didn't think much of me either."

Zhu Cici retracted his arms and buried his head in his arms. A muffled sound came from Zhu Cici's arms.

"Liar, didn't you write a poem for me on my birthday saying you wanted to marry me? But I'm the only one who remembers it. I feel like a fool."

"Liar, you were so nice to me when we were little, but now you are so cold to me."

"Liar, you can at least lie to me. Don't you even know how to lie?"

The more he spoke, the more aggrieved Zhu Cici felt, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Liar! I will never talk to you again! I never want to see you again!"

When Xu Ming was returning to his residence, he passed by a place called "Qingxinyuan" on the way.

After repeated reminders from Yuwen Xi and Miao Feng, Xu Ming finally knew it even though he didn't want to know. This place was where the chief officer of the Bailu Academy delegation, Zhu Cici, lived.

Xu Ming thought about it, wondering whether he should go find Zhu Cici and have a good talk with her.

Xu Ming walked to the girl’s gate and stretched out his hand to knock on it.

But in the end, Xu Ming withdrew his hand.

"Forget it. It's too complicated to sort out. If I go to her now, it will only make her thoughts more confused. It's better to let her think about it carefully."

Xu Ming turned and left, continuing to walk towards his own courtyard.

When Xu Ming arrived at his courtyard, a maid in palace dress was already standing at the door waiting for him.

"Hello, Miss Xiaolan." Xu Ming bowed.

When Xiao Lan saw Xu Ming coming back, she walked forward with a smile and bowed: "I have been waiting for Master Xu for a long time."

"Sorry, sorry. I just had a meal with some friends." Xu Ming asked in confusion, "I wonder what Miss Xiaolan wants to talk to me about?"

Xiao Lan covered her face and chuckled: "What can this servant ask Master Xu for? Naturally, it is His Majesty who is looking for Master Xu."

"His Majesty?"

Xu Ming was even more confused.

I'm already out, why is she still looking for me?
Could it be that there was something wrong with that test and I have to test it again?
No, no, that possibility is not very high.

"I wonder if Mr. Xu is free?" Xiao Lan asked. "Of course he is free."

Can you say you don’t have time?
Even if you don't have time, you have to be free.

"Then I'll trouble Mr. Xu to come with me to see His Majesty again." Xiao Lan bowed.

Xu Ming nodded: "Of course no problem, please lead the way, Miss Xiaolan."

Xiao Lan nodded and walked towards the inner palace of the Dragon Palace. Xu Ming followed behind Xiao Lan.

If the entire Dragon Palace is divided into three rings.

The first ring is the Dragon Queen’s private bedroom. Only maids can enter and exit, and all men are forbidden to enter!

The Second Ring Road is the back garden that Xu Ming visited before. Similarly, the imperial study is also within the Second Ring Road, and the morning court is usually held in the Second Ring Road, so the Second Ring Road is mainly a place for people to participate in politics and discuss state affairs.

The third ring is commonly known as the "outer area of ​​the imperial palace", which is usually the place where the Dragon Palace guards are stationed and foreign envoys are received.

Xu Ming originally thought that he had met the Dragon Queen in the garden or in the imperial study.

Unexpectedly, Xu Ming found that the little blue girl was leading him to the "first ring"!
Xu Ming began to feel really confused.

What on earth is the Dragon Queen trying to do?
Even if the Dragon Queen felt that I failed the previous test and wanted me to take the test again, it should have been in that garden.

Or did this little blue girl make some mistake and go to the wrong place?
Entering the Dragon Queen's inner hall without permission is a capital crime!
He was the chief official of the Wu State, and was more likely to cause diplomatic accidents.

Even in Xu Ming's mind, one bizarre guess after another had already popped up, for example, the Dragon Queen wanted to harm the Wu Kingdom for some reason, so she used the excuse of "the chief official of the Wu Kingdom broke into the inner palace privately" to stir up disputes.

Or maybe I accidentally violated some taboo in Dragon Palace?
"None of these feelings are possible!"

Xu Ming really felt confused.

I am just an ordinary human being, at most I have some fame on the Qingyun List.

Moreover, I have been staying in the yard for so many days and have hardly gone out.

Otherwise, at most I would just go out for a stroll, how could it possibly violate some taboo.

When he saw the Dragon Queen for the first time, Xu Ming was not nervous at all. He even felt like strolling around leisurely to see how beautiful the legendary Dragon Queen was.

After seeing the dragon for the second time, Xu Ming felt that nothing good was going to happen. At this time, Xu Ming became really nervous.

"Miss Xiaolan? Is it not appropriate for me to go any further?" Xu Ming asked Xiaolan tactfully.

Xiao Lan smiled politely, and naturally saw Xu Ming's worry: "Master Xu, don't worry. We have no feud with the Wu Kingdom, and we don't want to create enemies for no reason. It's just that His Majesty wants to see you."

"."

Just want to see me?

What do I have to see?

Could it be that my appearance is too much in line with the Dragon Queen's aesthetic? She gave up her old lover and wanted to find me?
Isn't this nonsense?
