Fighter of the Destiny

After Mo Yubu finished the dishes, he filled a bowl of rice himself and sat down opposite Xu Yourong.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Chen Changsheng and Tang Sanliu would never be able to bear such a weird scene, but they have long been used to it.

Just like many years ago, the empress was very serious when eating, and no one was allowed to speak, and she could only communicate with her eyes.

Xu Yourong and Mo Yu had communicated with their eyes countless times. They had a tacit understanding and it was very easy to tell what the other was thinking.

It's just that at that time, the content of communication was usually which dish was delicious today and which dish was not. The empress seemed to be in a good mood today. Yan Yan had already held three chopsticks. The empress said last night that she would deprive the prime minister of his official position. It seemed that You mean it, otherwise why would you be so depressed today that you can't even drink your favorite Bisi soup? But what they were talking about today was something else.

Mo Yu looked at her and blinked, asking her what she thought about Chen Changsheng and the engagement.

Xu Yourong lowered her eyelashes slightly and ignored it. She just moved her fingers forward a little while holding the chopsticks.

Mo Yu noticed this detail and began to sympathize with Chen Changsheng.

She remembered clearly that when Xu Yourong was unhappy when she was a child, she would subconsciously use more force when holding chopsticks, so she would hold them farther and farther. One year she saw Xiao Xu Yourong holding chopsticks like this once. That afternoon, there were more than a dozen non-venomous snakes in the palace where Ping Guo lived. Then that night, Ping Guo's face was painted into the big painted face in the play...

…

…

The eunuchs and maids stood guard outside the palace from a distance. They were not surprised by the scene in the palace, and their expressions did not change at all.

There were not many people who were qualified to dine with the Holy Queen, and Xu Yourong was one of them.

This has nothing to do with her current status as a southern saint. From a very young age, the empress would often take her into the palace and have meals together. At that time, in addition to Xu Yourong, there were also Mo Yu, Princess Pingguo and King Chenliu. Later, after King Chenliu turned sixteen, he rarely stayed in the palace and had less time to eat with his wife. As for Princess Pingguo...it is said that she went to the Xishan Temple outside the city to burn incense tonight. Everyone knows that, That was because Her Highness the Princess didn't want to face Xu Yourong, whom she had been envious of for so many years, so she avoided it.

After lunch, Mo Yu stayed in the palace to deal with the files. The Queen stood up and said to Xu Yourong, "Follow me."

Xu Yourong followed her and went directly to the highest place in Kyoto.

Standing on the Gan Terrace, looking at the markets in Kyoto and the Tomb of Heavenly Books in the distance, Xu Yourong recalled the scenes when he played here as a child, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

"This is the first time you've smiled today."

The Holy Queen stood on the edge of Gan Terrace with her hands behind her back, without looking back.

Xu Yourong suppressed his smile, walked behind her, and said slowly, "The pressure is coming suddenly, and I don't know how to deal with it."

Naturally, this is talking about taking over as the Southern Saint.

The Holy Queen said: "The so-called saint is just a statue of a god. With your understanding and ability, what is difficult to do?"

Xu Yourong knew that this was the empress's view on the position of the Southern Saint, and there was no way to change it, so she smiled without saying anything.

"I know a little bit about where your pressure comes from." The Holy Queen turned to look at her, thinking about the scene in Zhou Garden that she saw on the Lenggong Pond that night, looking at her with a half-smile but not smiling and said: "Love One word is the most harmful to people, so avoid it if you can."

Xu Yourong was slightly shocked, feeling that the empress seemed to have noticed something, but... no one would know about that matter, even him... didn't he know about it yet?

The Holy Queen did not continue this topic, and looked over her shoulder, landing on the distant mountains in the south that were gradually covered with snow, and asked: "Before she leaves, what does she want to say to me?"

Xu Yourong said calmly: "Master said that I hope the empress will not worry too much about state affairs and spend more time living her own life."

The Holy Queen was a little displeased when she heard this, and said with a cold voice: "It's really stupid."

The matter involved his teacher. Although Xu Yourong was a little helpless, he had to defend himself.

The Queen said: "I think back then, the eldest princess was too outstanding in Daxizhou, and as a result, she was jealous and even feared by her own brother. In the end, that loser even looked at her and was frightened. In the end, she had no choice but to do it because of her parents. It was because of her frustrated attitude that she married away from Baidi City... Now it seems that your master is as stupid as her."

Xu Yourong thought quietly, if the eldest princess became the queen of Daxizhou, or if she became the queen of Baidi City now, which life would be happier? Who can say for sure except herself?

"It is not easy for women to survive in this world, and it is even more difficult for women to have their own position. It is even more difficult to be able to stand at the highest position like us. That idiot Wuwubi and Not to mention, your master’s innate understanding and wisdom can be said to be one of a kind. I thought she would be different from other stupid women, but what happened? How come such a smart woman can’t get through a relationship? "

The Queen's expression became extremely cold, and she said: "What does it mean to live a life? Why should women only live a life?"

Xu Yourong thought of something that happened before her arrival and said softly: "Uncle Su said that the empress would definitely say that, even the words are the same."

The Holy Queen raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Oh? What did Xiao Xiaosu say?"

In today's world, among the powerful people who have entered the sacred realm, Su Li and the Southern Saint are half a generation later than the Pope and the Holy Queen. And because of their complicated attitude towards Su Li, the saints other than the Southern Saint mention When this person comes, he will be called Xiao Xiaosu. It seemed that this was the only way to show their somewhat annoyed attitude towards Su Li.

Because in their opinion, Su Li is a trouble.

"Uncle Su wants me to say something to you..." Xu Yourong glanced at her and continued: "It's hard to be alone, so why bother to do it?"

Listening to Su Li's message, the Holy Queen was silent for a long time, and then suddenly laughed, her laughter full of magnanimity and disdain.

"Empress, don't blame Master. It's not easy for her to convince Master Su to travel around the world with her."

Since last autumn, both the Great Zhou Dynasty and various forces in southern China have been making relevant preparations, and it seems that it has been determined that the north-south merger is inevitable. At that time, many people did not understand. Even big figures like Xue Xingchuan knew about the execution but could not understand why the saint did not consider his attitude at all when Su Li was still in Lishan.

It turned out that it was because the Southern Saint persuaded Su Li to stay away from the grudges and grudges in the world and stop paying attention to these things.

The Holy Queen said that the southern saint could not survive the love test, but in fact, Su Li could not survive.

That word of love is the bond, the prerequisite for the union of the north and the south.

The Queen's words were extremely strong and sarcastic, because she had some emotions: "Your master spent his best years in the Saintess' Peak, but he was eating, drinking and having fun outside. He was happy and happy for so many years and found a demon princess as his lover. , and gave birth to a daughter, without delaying anything. Finally, when I got tired of playing, I went back to find her, and then we watched the dusk and sunset together and said how beautiful it was? They say that running a country is like playing chess. Even if it is, I won’t I would exchange money with the enemy like this because it is not cost-effective."

There are only two people of the same sex in this world who can communicate with her on an equal footing in the spiritual world, and now there is one less person, and it's because of the most unacceptable reason for her: a man.

Xu Yourong didn't answer because she was talking about her elders, and also because...actually, that's what she thought sometimes.

"She just left and left a girl like you behind. Isn't she worried?"

The Holy Queen looked at Xu Yourong, raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "In the end, it's not up to me to worry about it. When you're with a man, you become stupid, but when you're with me, you're smarter than anyone else."

Xu Yourong smiled and said, "Anyway, I was taught by the empress. It would be nice if the empress taught me a few more years."

"It's not about teaching, it's about communication."

The Holy Queen looked at her and nodded, this was a courtesy.

Xu Yourong was surprised, then quickly calmed down and returned the greeting seriously.

She is not a saint, but she is already a southern saint.

From this moment on, she and her empress must talk to each other as equals, even on the surface.

"Since you are a southern saint, you must think more about the southerners. This is the foundation of your life, even if... you need to oppose me in the future."

"clear."

"As I said at the beginning, men can't see us being superior, so the generations of saints before your master rarely left Nanxi Zhai. On the surface, they were studying the Heavenly Book and Tablet, forgetting about the world of mortals. In fact, they rarely left Nanxi Zhai. They also know that it is good to ensure their sense of existence, but they cannot make their sense of existence too strong. If you don’t want to become a god, then you can’t do this.”

"What to do?"

"Men don't like us being superior, so we have to be superior, and we have to step on them until they can't speak, and they don't dare to object if they want to."

The saint said expressionlessly.

Xu Yourong knew that these seemingly simple and crude words were the empress's will, a reminder of her future career as a saint, but... it was also a request for the upcoming battle.

She couldn't lose to Chen Changsheng.

…

…

Chen Changsheng was sitting by the lake of the National Education College in a daze.

Bai He stood beside him, also in a daze.

The fine snow falls from the sky and falls on the white crane, adding a sense of holiness. When it falls on him, it seems that his head has turned white with sorrow.

"What should we do?" He looked at Bai He and asked sadly: "If there is really no way to avoid it, we must fight her. How to fight her?"

Bai He tilted his head slightly and looked at him, as if to say, you should ask her about this kind of thing, not me.

He thought for a long time, and finally whispered to himself: "If it doesn't work, then lose to her?"

…

…

In the light snow, Xu Yourong was walking in the streets of Kyoto holding an umbrella.

There was no disciple of Nan Xizhai, no priest from the palace or guards in the palace. She was walking alone.

For some reason, she did not change her appearance today. She was as beautiful as a fairy, but she did not attract anyone's attention, and her identity was not discovered.

The people in the street food shops and the laborers squatting on the threshold eating noodles seemed to be unable to see her under the umbrella.

Perhaps it was because the umbrella in her hand was unusual—the umbrella looked a bit old and gray, and it was exactly the yellow paper umbrella.
