The palace covers an area of hundreds of acres, and the magnificent palace complex is built around the highest peak in Yunjiang City, just like a city within a city.
When Bai Ye and his party arrived at the gate of the palace, dozens of housekeepers and soldiers from the palace immediately ran out to greet them. They knelt down and shouted: "Welcome the prince and princess back to the palace!"
King Pingnan helped the old housekeeper up, waved his hand to the kneeling warriors and asked the old housekeeper, "Old Liu, how are the arrangements for the marriage going?"
"The arrangements have been made and the invitations have been sent out." The old housekeeper replied. He and Liu Tianxuan are cousins of the same clan and are similar in age, but he is a mortal and looks older.
A quick calculation revealed that the wedding day was approaching, just six days later, on the second day of the second lunar month in the twenty-third year of the Dawn Calendar.
In the Dawn Calendar, the year when Tianzun died is the first year, and Baiye is born the following year. Although the exact date of birth is not known, the life span of a monk is so long that the difference of a year and a half does not matter.
This year, Bai Ye is twenty-two years old
"That's good."
Liu Tianxuan nodded and walked into the palace first, followed closely by the twins, followed by Bai Ye, the old housekeeper, and finally Luo Cequn and Chen Shanling. The bodyguards did not enter the palace, but went back to their camps.
Baiye followed King Pingnan into the palace, climbed up the huge white marble staircase, and climbed up. Prince Pingnan's palace was built on the "Qingxuan Mountain". At the foot of the mountain, there were twenty-eight military camps, heavily guarded, and on the mountainside were the servants and maids of the palace. The maid's residence.
High-level figures such as housekeepers and generals live on the top of the mountain, while King Pingnan and his family live in the central palace on the top of the mountain. You can overlook the entire Yunjiang City from the top.
As we walked up the white jade staircase, King Pingnan said: "This stone staircase has a total of 999 steps. It is three feet long and three feet wide. It is the only way to the top of the mountain. You must be careful when walking. , several maids fall to death and become crippled every year, so making loud noises and running on this stone staircase are strictly prohibited."
Luo Cequn couldn't help but look back and exclaimed again and again. Bai Ye glared at him and said to King Pingnan: "It is indeed dangerous. Even a young man like me must watch the road under his feet and take every step steadily. If I am not careful, Then you will fall into the abyss and never recover."
King Pingnan smiled and said: "It's the same as being a human being. Be cautious in your words and actions, just like walking on thin ice."
Halfway up the mountain, there was a square square three feet wide for people to rest. Baiye stood on the edge of the square and looked towards the foot of the mountain. As King Pingnan said, if you fall, you will definitely fall to the foot of the mountain, and you will either die or be injured.
Qingxuan Mountain is not big. It is a small mountain peak, less than 500 meters high. It is made of green rocks and covered with moss, like a green pagoda. There are countless palace buildings built around the mountain, connected by iron cable bridges.
Bai Ye saw servants walking on the rope bridge, with safety ropes hanging around their waists. They were no different from walking on flat ground, and they were obviously used to it.
King Pingnan's voice sounded from behind: "Young Li Min, you really don't want to consider becoming my son-in-law?"
Liu Tianxuangui is the most respected prince, and he has a high and powerful position in one state and three cities. He expressed his intention to recruit a son-in-law twice, which shows that he attaches great importance to Bai Ye.
Looking at Yunjiang City in the white night, his eyes were full of spring scenery, and he put his hands behind his hands and said: "The prince is joking, I am a commoner, how can I dare to have extravagant hopes? I am afraid that the princess will not look down on the boy."
The scenery in early spring is pleasant. The ice and snow melt, warblers fly and grass grows. It is a scene of revival of all things, full of vitality.
King Pingnan sighed and said: "I can see that your boy is not an ordinary villager, he has great ambitions. I hope that you and my daughter can make a happy relationship. Hu'er believes in the strong, so he may really like you in the future."
Liu Tianxuan became more and more certain that the person in front of him was that person. He made every calculation in his mind and concluded that being on good terms with Bai Ye would have all the advantages and no disadvantages.
If he killed Bai Ye, without Wang Hua and the others taking action, Emperor Han would hold his head to apologize, and I don't know how happy he would be.
If Bai Ye becomes his adopted son or son-in-law, then whether they are Wanghua or Beiliang, they will be friends.
In other words, marriage is more appropriate.
Liu Tianxuan was shocked by the huge network of connections that Bai Ye had. It was hard to imagine how a person could have such a huge and strong network of connections, and there was an opportunity right in front of him to make this network his own.
Bai Ye calmed down and said, "How many people dream of being the son-in-law of the royal family? It's not that I don't want to, but as I said, if we are destined, everything will fall into place."
After the words fell, there was a silence in the atmosphere. Although Liu Tianxuan tried his best to facilitate the marriage between Bai Ye and his adopted daughter Xu Weihu, he also knew the rules and knew that matters between men and women should not be forced.
The atmosphere in the field was subtle. Bai Ye was chatting with King Pingnan, and his tact was hidden. Bai Ye's image suddenly rose during the exchange of words, and he was on an equal footing with King Pingnan. Everyone else was silent, afraid to speak due to the power of the two men.
After another tea break, King Pingnan stood up first and greeted everyone to walk to the top of the mountain. With his cultivation level, he did not need to rest. He was more concerned with taking care of the old housekeeper and Luo Cequn and Shen Shanling.
Luo Cequn and Shen Shanling had already awakened their attributes, and their bodies were much stronger than ordinary mortals, equivalent to elite soldiers in the army. It was still very strenuous to go up the mountain, which showed how difficult it was to walk up the white jade stairs, like climbing a mountain.
Bai Ye walked at the end, strolling in the courtyard. Although he had no awakened attributes and no cultivation, his body was weird. He could kill half-demon and had a body that was not inferior to half-demon.
Bai Ye felt emotional and said leisurely: "
During the day, I climbed the mountain to watch the beacon fire, and at dusk, I drank my horse by crossing the river. Pedestrians are fighting in the wind and the sand is dark, and the princess Pipa is full of resentments.
There are no city walls in the wild clouds, and rain and snow cover the desert one after another. Hu Yan flew away every night crying, Hu Er shed tears.
When you hear that the jade gate is still covered, you should throw your life away. The bones of battles are buried in the wilderness every year, and it is rare to see Pu Tao entering the Han family. "
The leader, King Pingnan, frowned and laughed: "I don't want to say this, but in front of me, the Han prince, if you don't pay attention to your words and deeds, be careful of suffering consequences in the future."
The entire poem is tightly packed, one sentence at a time, deliberately and step by step. It is not until the last sentence that the finishing touch and the theme are brought to the fore, showing the great satirical power of this poem.
He ridiculed the Han Emperor for his love of success and started wars for his own selfish interests. From the Chu-Han conflict to the Han-Wu conflict, the Han Emperor insisted on unifying the world.
Bai Ye shook his head helplessly and put aside the cluttered thoughts in his mind. It was not right for him, a village man in the mountains, to talk about the situation in the world.
The world has been in peace for several years. In addition to the wars on the borders, the Han Dynasty has been singing and dancing, and the scene of peace can be regarded as a meritorious service of the Han Emperor.
Bai Ye raised his head and looked at King Pingnan. This big man with real power in southern Xinjiang was really thinking about himself. He couldn't help but said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your advice."
King Pingnan laughed loudly, walked towards the top of the mountain without looking back, and said softly: "You can teach a boy..."
Children can be taught,
Rotten wood can be carved.
What a blessing in the world!
Liu Tianxuan was becoming more and more satisfied with this young man. His temperament and conversation were outstanding. He didn't see many young people like this. He could only count ten people out of a dozen.
When a group of people reached the top of the mountain, their view suddenly broadened. There was actually a wide area of tens of meters in radius on the top of the mountain, with an eight-story pavilion built in the center called Peach Blossom.
