061 “Blessing from Heavenly Official” Chapter 60
by☆Chapter 60 The red bead left behind unintentionally caused red eyes
At this time, Feng Xin, who was kneeling behind Xie Lian, said in a deep voice: “His Highness indeed said it the day before yesterday.”
Everyone looked at him and said, “Recently, His Highness has been thinking hard about the matter of worshiping the heaven. Yesterday, he had a sudden idea of jumping down from the city tower and imitating the appearance of a heavenly being. There is no need to change other arrangements. But at that time, His Highness was still reviewing the ritual process and couldn’t get away, so he asked Mu Qing to tell the Imperial Master on his behalf to ask if this was feasible.”
He raised his head, with a hint of anger in his eyes, and said: “Mu Qing came back and told His Highness that he had notified the Imperial Preceptor, so His Highness thought that the Imperial Preceptor had given permission and did so today. How could he have expected that the Imperial Preceptor knew nothing about it and almost ruined the matter?”
All the Taoists looked at each other.The Imperial Master said: “Has anyone heard about this?”
The other three deputy national preceptors shook their heads and said no.The Imperial Master turned to him, his face full of worry turned into anger, and said: “Muqing, are you deliberately not reporting what you know?”
His words and expressions clearly indicated that Mu Qing was behind the scenes.Xie Lian glanced at the frail boy kneeling beside him without saying a word, thought for a moment, and said, “National Master, I think there must be some misunderstanding.”
Hearing this, Mu Qing glanced at him slowly, her eyes dark.Xie Lian said: “If it is deliberately concealed and not reported, the conspiracy will be revealed after a short confrontation. No one can escape who is responsible. Mu Qing is by no means a short-sighted fool, and he will not make such a move. Moreover, the absence of the Yueshen Warrior will benefit the demon warriors on the same stage? I hope the Imperial Master will listen to his explanation first before making a conclusion.”
After saying that, he tilted his head and said, “Tell me, Mu Qing, what’s going on.”
Mu Qing lowered her eyes and said softly: “I have said what Your Highness told me yesterday.”
The Imperial Master frowned and said, “Don’t we still know whether you said it or not? When did you say it?”
Mu Qing said: “Yesterday, half an hour after finishing evening classes, when the four national masters were resting in the Sixiang Palace, the disciple announced outside the window.”
The Imperial Master turned to ask the other three colleagues, wondering: “After finishing evening class yesterday? What were we doing at that time?”
As soon as he finished asking, he remembered it, and his face couldn’t help but turn a little green with embarrassment.The three deputy national preceptors also coughed a few times and said vaguely: “They didn’t do anything. Just…rest, just rest.”
Seeing several imperial masters hesitating and hesitating, everyone immediately became enlightened.
In Huangji Temple, everyone meditates and practices purity. Basically, they can’t play any games, only a few small things for entertainment.Among them, the most popular one is the brand opera.
That is, playing cards.Moreover, it can only be done secretly and cannot be shown to others.Several national masters had been in Huangji Temple all year round and were deeply poisoned by it.As long as they play cards, they will be completely forgetful, intoxicated, and hysterical, and no outside sounds can be heard.If Mu Qing happens to announce outside the window at that time, how many words can be heard?
A deputy national master said: “Oh, then… maybe there were too many people and the voice was too low, so I didn’t hear it clearly. Well, I didn’t hear it clearly.”
The Imperial Master asked doubtfully: “Did you really go to the Four Elephants Palace yesterday?”
Mu Qing said: “It’s absolutely true.” To prove it, he told the Taoist guard outside the door about his clothes, appearance, and accent. They were all accurate. The Imperial Master had to believe it, and then frowned and said: “Then since you went to the Four Elephant Palace, you can ask the Taoist boy outside the door to inform you, or go in and explain in detail. Why do you have to shout outside the window? Don’t ask us to confirm whether we heard it?”
Mu Qing whispered: “It’s not like I haven’t tried before. I asked the senior brother guarding the door nicely, but for some reason, that senior brother insisted on making things difficult for me. He would not let me into the palace to report, nor would he help me deliver the message. He even… mocked me and drove me away.”
After a pause, he continued: “The disciple had no other choice but to go around to the other side of the Four Elephants Palace and report to the Imperial Masters outside the window. After the disciple finished speaking, he faintly heard a Imperial Master shouting, ‘I understand, step back.’ The disciple thought that this meant that he agreed with His Highness’s idea, so he went back.”
The Imperial Preceptors remained silent.
When the card game is in full swing, where can I listen to what others say outside???He would casually shout “I know” when he heard something. In fact, he might not even know where the sound came from!
Xie Lian frowned and said: “Is there such a thing? Which Taoist boy is so rampant? He is so rude to the people I sent, he is quite courageous.”
Although Xie Lian was very friendly with Huang Ji’s audience on weekdays and almost never put on airs, after all, he was the emperor and had the dignity of a prince. Although he was kneeling in front of the statue at the moment, he showed no humility.Be serious for a moment, not angry but proud.Everyone was silent, but the expressions of the national masters became a little subtle.
Xie Lian said: “Why didn’t you tell me about this when you came back yesterday?”
Mu Qing knelt and turned around, bowed to him, and said softly: “Your Highness, please don’t pursue that senior brother. I didn’t mention this matter to you when I came back yesterday, just because I didn’t want to make a big deal. It’s not a big deal, but if you come forward for me, it will hurt the harmony of my colleagues.”
Xie Lian did not agree and said with dismay: “What kind of friendship with fellow disciples is this? Is it a way to vent your anger by bullying fellow disciples?”
Hearing this, the expressions of the national masters on the side became even more subtle.
In the final analysis, such a thing happened because the national teachers did not like Qing.
They didn’t like it, and the Taoist boys who served around him naturally understood their feelings. In addition, Mu Qing himself was indeed not very lovable, so it was normal for his fellow disciples not to give him convenience and to make things difficult and criticize him.Of course, this Jingui disciple didn’t mean to ridicule them, but he did prick them.
Mu Qing kept retreating in her words, but Feng Xin couldn’t listen anymore, and suddenly said: “It was really not a big deal in the first place, but you made it so complicated. If you directly tell the gatekeeper that you are here on the order of His Highness the Crown Prince,The messenger, does he have the guts not to report it?Also, before leaving today, the Imperial Master asked you where your Royal Highness was, why did you deliberately give an ambiguous answer?”
Mu Qing immediately retorted clearly and calmly: “I thought that the Imperial Preceptor had already known about the matter, but I didn’t expect that the Imperial Preceptor would suddenly ask questions, so I was stunned for a moment. But then I told the Imperial Preceptor that His Highness the Crown Prince had told him not to worry, and that all procedures would remain as usual, and His Highness would come immediately. His Highness was not present at the time, but many people had heard it. How could it be intentional? How could it be ambiguous?”
Feng Xin glared at him.But if you think about it carefully, Mu Qing did say that at that time, but the Imperial Master was too impatient to set out rashly. If he really wanted to make a choice, he couldn’t make a big mistake, which could prove that he had ulterior motives.At this time, Xie Lian said: “Okay, okay. It’s a mistake and a misunderstanding. It’s bad luck. Don’t fight.”
Feng Xin looked extremely unhappy, but due to his identity, he did not dare to make any noise in the Shenwu Palace and stopped talking.The Imperial Master didn’t want to dwell on this issue any longer. After all, if we really wanted to calculate it, wouldn’t they have caused trouble by playing cards?So he waved his hand and said: “Oh, let’s talk about it! Let’s think about it together and come up with a way to remedy the situation. All three of you go down, take off your clothes, and do whatever you need to do.”
Xie Lian bowed slightly and stood up immediately.Feng Xin and Mu Qingze kowtowed once again before standing up and following behind Xie Lian to leave.Xie Lian stepped out of the threshold and heard the Imperial Master say from behind: “His Royal Highness.”
Thank you for looking back.The Imperial Master said: “His Majesty the King and the Queen have asked you a lot today. If you are free these days, go back and take a look.”
He smiled gratefully and said, “Disciple understands.”
After leaving the Shenwu Hall, the three of them passed through a large mountain peak and returned to the Taoist Palace of Xianle, which was specially built for His Royal Highness. Xie Lian then began to remove the ceremonial clothes.
As mentioned above, during the Shangyuan Festival to Heaven, the uniforms and crowns worn by the Yueshen warriors were strict in shape, and almost everything they wore had their own metaphorical meanings, and no details should be messed up.For example, the outer clothes are white, which means “pure saint”; the middle clothes are red, which means “orthodoxy”; the golden crown and hair are tied, which means “royal power” and “wealth”; the white feathers hidden in the arms mean “wings reach the sky”; the sleeves are rolled with streamers, which means “carrying all living beings”.All kinds of things.
It is conceivable that this outfit, whether it is wearing or taking off, will be extremely complicated.However, since Xie Liangui is the prince, he naturally does not need to do everything by himself. He only needs to open his arms in the cool aromatic air that fills the room, talk to Feng Xin, and wait for the admirer who is the servant to help him take off these layers of pleasing clothes. That’s it.
The white clothes of Yueshen’s clothes are of excellent quality, with fine texture and extremely delicate light golden dark patterns embroidered on the edges. They are gorgeous but not extravagant. Compared with the black clothes of the demon, it can be said that it is completely different.Mu Qing was still wearing a dark military uniform. She was holding the Yueshen uniform that Xie Lian had taken off in her hands. She twitched her knuckles and caressed the white uniform a few times almost imperceptibly.
On the side, he took off the golden crown that bound his hair, Xie Lian let his long hair loose, sat down beside the sandalwood bed, kicked his feet twice, threw off his snow-white boots, and waited for someone to put on new clothes for him.After waiting for a while, I saw that Mu Qing was unmoved.He tilted his head and said, “What’s wrong?”
Mu Qing quickly came to her senses and said, “Your Highness, this Yueshen uniform seems to be dirty in some places.”
Xie Lian said “Ah” and said: “Bring it over and let me take a look?”
Sure enough, there were two small black handprints printed on the snow-white military uniform.Xie Lian took a look and said: “Is it done by the child who fell from the sky that day? I remember that he grabbed my clothes and refused to let go. The child’s face was still bandaged. I don’t know if he fell or something happened. Feng Xin, did you check it for him?”
Feng Xin was wrapping up the sword and sword that he used when Yueshen, and said depressedly: “I didn’t look at it. I took him out of the palace and looked at his face as you said, but he kicked me in the knee. Damn it still hurts.”
Xie Lian smiled and fell on the bed, pointing at him: “It must be because you are cruel to him. Otherwise, why would he kick you instead of me?”
Feng Chuang: “No! This little bastard is possessed by a ghost and runs away after a while, otherwise I would lift him upside down and throw him around, scaring him into tears.”
Mu Qing turned over Yueshen’s clothes and said: “Don’t be a beggar, that child is too dirty. If you scratch it, it will turn black like this. Your Highness, Yueshen’s clothes can’t be dirty. I heard that the sign is not good.”
Xie Lian lay down on the sandalwood bed, took a book from the bedside, covered the lower half of his face, and said: “Three times around the city, the name will go down in history. The omen is already very good. If you are dirty, just be dirty, just wash it off.”
After a pause, Mu Qing said calmly: “Well, I will try to be more careful when washing.”
Xie Lian flipped through the book and happened to find a page with sword skills. Thinking of the fierce fight on the Chinese stage today, he smiled and said: “Muqing, you fought well on the stage today.”
Mu Qing’s shoulders stiffened slightly.
Xie Lian added: “I just discovered today that you are much better at using this sword than you are at using a sword.”
Mu Qing’s expression relaxed and she turned around with a smile on her face and said, “Really?”
Thanks for the pity: “Yeah! But I’m afraid you are a little impatient. Using a knife and using a sword are completely different. You see…”
When discussing martial arts, Xie Lian became very interested and even more selfless than the national masters playing cards. He jumped out of bed without wearing any shoes and used his hand as a knife to demonstrate on the spot.At first, Mu Qing’s expression was still a bit complicated. After thanking him for a while, he started to look at it seriously.Feng Xin, however, waved the wrapped sword, drove Xie Lian to the bed, and shouted: “I need to put on my shoes! You are the Crown Prince, with disheveled hair and bare feet, what do you look like!”
Xie Lian was in the mood for the performance, but he drove him back to the bed like a duck. He said angrily: “I know!” With that, he gathered his long hair with his hands, preparing to tie it up, and then explain it to Mu Qing in detail.Suddenly, he frowned and said, “Weird.”
Feng Chuang: “What’s wrong?”
