Wan Luoer knew that perhaps it was because Empress Xiaochun and Empress Xie were newly deceased last year that Princess Tianchen faced the "wolves" of the Bai family and his party members alone in the palace because she could not let go of her younger brother, the Crown Prince. "Tiger and Leopard", so he frequently traveled between Zhaoge Imperial City and Shentai Palace within a year.
Thinking about the past, the total time His Highness Chitose spent in the palace in the past three years may not have been as much as the past year.
Why doesn’t His Royal Highness know how to cherish blessings?
In the eyes of the little Gong'e Wan Luo'er, His Majesty the Emperor also has his favorite concubine and other princes and princesses, and he has never been very fond of her Crown Prince.
Ever since the Empress passed away, His Royal Highness Chitose has been His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's only relative. How could the Crown Prince still push Chitose away?
She was really anxious!
You know, Chitose is not only the beloved daughter of His Majesty Wei Emperor, but also the goddess of Shentai Palace, and is now the only female swordsman in the world!
Having such a compatriot, not only does she have a bright face, she is simply a shining gold medal to avoid death, which no one else can ask for!
What I shouldn't say is that even if one day His Highness the Crown Prince can't bear to offend His Majesty and commits the crime of treason, perhaps the Holy See will only demote him to a commoner out of love for the "Thousand-year-old Sword Immortal".
Why did Chitose look unhappy when she returned to the palace to meet her Crown Prince?
Wan Luo'er was puzzled: "Your Highness, what are you doing here? Luo'er heard that mosquitoes can be heard a hundred steps away from a master of immortality.
Just now, you were in the inner hall, and Chitose was in the pavilion in front of the hall. From such a close distance, she must be able to hear your breathing clearly!
But you insist on letting your slave use such a crude and poor excuse to drive Chitose away. She must understand that you don't want to see her, and Chitose will be sad too! "
Little Gong'e was really worried about her two masters. Could it be that the always polite and courteous prince in her family had now reached the legendary rebellious stage when young people make trouble out of nothing?
The prince remained silent and did not speak.
On the other hand, Yuan Ai gave her a quick laugh, stepped forward to give her a hand, and hurriedly said in peace:
"Luo'er, don't be ridiculous. How can His Highness the Crown Prince drive His Highness Qiantose away?"
There was sweat on his forehead, and he tried his best to excuse his master. It was obvious that he had worked very hard.
"His Royal Highness is just tired of reading the book today, and his energy is a little weak. Master will have a heart-to-heart talk with Chitose in two days, so there is no need for us as slaves to give guidance and lectures."
Unexpectedly, the other two people in the palace had no intention of taking advantage of the steps given by the young manager Yuan Ai of the East Palace to come down, but they actually said in unison:
"——His Royal Highness is tired from reading the book. I see that His Highness the Crown Prince is clearly in a daze! He turned to this page when I went out just now. It has been so long, isn't it still here?"
"——I won't see the princess in two days. There is nothing to talk about. If the princess comes again, don't let her come into the palace. Just say that I am still not here."
Yuan Ai: "..."
This time, even he really couldn't figure out what was going on in the prince's golden head.
Yuan Ai was also confused. He hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but persuade Wan Luo'er.
"Your Highness, what is the reason for this? As you know, after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Chitose will return to Shentai Palace to pray for Tianchen as usual.
The Goddess Blessing Month at the beginning of the year will last for a hundred days, and you won't be able to see Chitose for at least three months. "
...So, just stop losing your temper, right?
His original intention was to help the two most distinguished siblings in the Southern Dynasties break the ice as soon as possible and stop the cold war, but unexpectedly it had the opposite effect!
Upon hearing this, Prince Fu Jingyan opened his lips and smiled faintly, but the smile was not as bright as his eyes.
"Yes, it is Tianchen's top priority for the goddess to pray for the national destiny. As for the other unimportant 'trivial matters', they are of course nothing more than trivial matters and not worth mentioning."
He gritted his teeth when he said the word "trivial matters" and was obviously still angry.
"ah!"
However, Wan Luoer had an idea, and his mind suddenly brightened, as if he had thought of something.
The little Gong'e had a lively and sincere temperament, and had no thought of protecting her master's precarious face. She asked frankly curiously:
"I understand! Your Highness, are you so angry because Chitose refuses to resign as a goddess?"
The prince, who had always been calm and dignified, looked slightly confused on his face. He stared at the little palace maid and said in shock:
"——Luo'er! You actually eavesdropped on Gu and Sister A's conversation?"
"What do you mean by eavesdropping? Your Highness, what you say is so unpleasant."
Wan Luoer was even more shocked than him, and some even pouted a little aggrievedly.
"You know, don't slaves always guard the door for the two masters outside the palace gate?
Besides, Chitose is a swordsman! Luo'er took several breaths for a quarter of an hour, and Chitose probably heard it clearly in the palace.
The two of you were talking that day. If Chitose didn't want Luo'er to hear it, she would naturally tell me to stay away! "
Fu Jingyan: "..."
Seeing his reaction, Wan Luoer knew that this time he had actually guessed something right. He immediately looked stunned and shocked.
"So, is it really because of this? Why, why?"
She didn't understand her Highness's point.
His Royal Highness, however, had already turned his back and straightly held up the papers in front of him that needed his assistant's instructions without saying a word.
Yuan Ai is much smarter than Wan Luoer. At this time, thinking about the causes and consequences, he already understood why the prince was unhappy.
So behind the prince, he silently mouthed to Wan Luoer: "His Royal Highness the prince wants Qiantose to live in Zhaoge for a long time."
Wan Luoer said stupidly "Oh" and said carelessly:
"Just, because of this?"
She was very big-hearted, scratched her head, and comforted the young man with joy.
"Your Highness, what is there to be angry about? As we all know, the goddesses of the Shentai Palace can choose by themselves at the age of eighteen whether to continue to stay in the land of transformation to serve the gods and watch the stars, or to return to the earthly world and return to the mortal world. Home.
You are a blood relative of Chitose. When the time comes, Chitose will definitely choose to strip you of your priesthood, return to Zhaoge City, and use the sword of 'Mountains, Rivers, Sun and Moon' to make all the monsters and monsters dare not approach His Highness!
The high priest of Fengzhi is like a master and a father for a thousand years, and the high priest of Nanxu is like a brother and a friend for a thousand years. Now you are forcing her to break the rules of the Shentai Palace and return to the court four years in advance. This is indeed a difficult task. "
The young prince's heart moved slightly.
Also... Sister A is his only close relative, and she has a deep brotherhood with him. She will naturally return to Zhaoge when she turns eighteen.
But there is nothing he can't wait for in four years.
Thinking of this, Fu Jingyan's heart, which had been so cold after losing his mother, seemed to have been gently filled with some gaps.
Over the past year, he has actually not been as calm and relaxed as he appeared to be, letting go of everything.
His dependent mother suffered for half her life, and almost lost her dignity and honor as Queen of the Yuan Dynasty after her death.
He couldn't let it go.
...But I still have to force myself to pretend to let it go.
This state of mind, surrounded by powerful enemies, burning with anxiety, and unable to rest for a moment, has actually made this fourteen-year-old man suffer every moment for the past year.
This feeling of walking on thin ice in an abyss, only when his sister Tianchen Princess Fu Jingci returns to Beijing, can he truly relax and have the illusion of being down-to-earth and not falling into the abyss. .
His sister, Fu Jingci, is just like the name of her sword - shining like mountains, rivers, sun and moon, so His Royal Highness has an inexplicable and unconditional trust in her sister.
It seemed that as soon as the girl stepped into the Zhaoge Imperial City, all the monsters hiding in the dark and the shameless villains with hidden plans in their hearts no longer dared to look at or spy on him.
hold on.
And wait.
Only four years.
He had been trapped in this "lonely city" for more than four years?
It’s not bad to have these four alternations of cold and heat from spring to autumn.
Fu Jingyan was silent. It seemed that in this life, he had been like a mascot "imprisoned" within the palace wall. He had never seen the water and the sky. Year after year, he didn't know what to say.
The crown prince of the country should take care of all living beings in the Southern Dynasty.
But where are all the sentient beings?
He can't see it.
After fourteen years of guarding the red tiles of the palace wall, the world in front of him was as silent and dark as an ancient well.
He could only see a small patch of blue sky under the red wall and green tiles.
