[Red Mansion + Xiuxian] Perfect match

"Look at this little appearance, it's really annoying, come and sit with Ai's family." When only Ah Zhu was left, the Queen Mother was very kind, beckoning Ah Zhu to come over, stretched out her hand to touch Ah Zhu Ah Zhu wasn't shy about her face, anyway, she was used to showing off her cuteness before Jia Mincheng, so she took the initiative to stretch her little face over, "Hi, Empress Dowager."

"Yo, the little girl is really sensible." The queen mother is a little lonely in this deep palace, and the emperor is not her own son, and those princes and princesses are not her own grandchildren. Seeing her is like a mouse. Like a cat, very scared, I have never seen such a bold little doll, "How old is this year?"

Seeing that the Empress Dowager looked friendly and did not seem to be fake, Azhu replied with a confident voice, "Responding to the Empress Dowager, Azhu is four years old this year."

"Your name is Azhu? Did your father give you a name?"

"When Ah Zhu was three years old, my father named me Lin Jun."

"Lin Jun, that's a good name." The smile on the Empress Dowager's face suddenly faded a little, perhaps because she thought of Lin Ruhai when she heard the word "Lin". The main attack was on the faction of the fifth prince, but she did not expect that her mother's family, the Gu family, would also be implicated. She, the queen mother, did not have much real power. She was so old that she hooked up with the fifth prince, so how could she show a good face to the Lin family.

Azhu was a little puzzled, the empress dowager had a friendly face just now, but she turned cold in a blink of an eye, but the wife has already explained that people in the harem, especially women, have the most complicated thoughts, if she can't figure it out, then don't worry about it So much, anyway, she doesn't need to look at the Queen Mother's face to get by.

"King Gongyu is here!"

There was a sudden announcement from the palace servants outside the door, and then a young man wearing a moon-white woven cotton robe came in, and right behind him was Ah Zhu's master, Master Ching Yang.

When A Zhu saw Qing Yang, the eyes of the two met in the air for a moment, and then they separated instantly. A Zhu's eyes fell on the man who hit him before him. He thought this must be His Royal Highness King Gongyu. On the contrary, he has a good appearance, it is not too much to say that he is a handsome man, but apart from his appearance, what attracts more attention is his noble aura.

Even if she didn't open her eyes, Ah Zhu could tell that this person must be extraordinary.

With a gentle smile on his face, King Gongyu knelt down to the Queen Mother and said, "Grandson comes to pay respects to Grandmother!"

The queen mother frowned, she didn't seem to like the prince very much, she just said lightly, "You have a heart, get up!"

King Gongyu didn't care about the Empress Dowager's face, instead he asked the Empress Dowager very filially for a while, and finally turned the topic to A Zhu, "This must be Mrs. Lin's daughter, Miss A Zhu?"

Azhu was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that she hadn't saluted King Gongyu. Before, her wife had told her that most of the people she met when walking in the palace were of high class, so she must pay attention to etiquette. Don't be disrespectful when it comes to noble people, isn't she just being disrespectful now? Fortunately, she is only a four-year-old girl, and others have not noticed these details.

A Zhu hurriedly saluted King Gongyu, "A Zhu greets Your Highness, Your Highness is a thousand years old!"

Daoist Qing Yang who was following King Gongyu immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Although this is not the one sitting on the throne now, he is the future emperor. Although it is just a matter of etiquette, it must not be ignored.

King Gongyu asked Azhu to get up before she knelt down. His kind attitude made the queen mother suspicious, and asked, "Why is Jing'er free to come to greet my old lady today? He also brought Qing Master Yang?"

Although the princes and princesses who live in the palace want to greet the queen mother every day, King Gongyu has already grown up and has opened the palace to leave the palace. He does not need to come to greet the queen mother every day. He specially brought this well-known Daoist Qing Yang along, so it can be seen that he definitely did not come here simply to pay his respects.

King Gongyu didn't answer, but saw Master Qingyang bowed to the queen mother and said, "It's the poor man who specifically asked the prince to come to the palace to visit His Majesty!"

The queen mother frowned, pretending to be puzzled and said, "The Taoist priest is joking, since he wants to visit the emperor, why don't he go to the Qianqing Palace, why do he come to Ai's house?"

Master Ching Yang just smiled and didn't speak, but the expression on his face obviously meant that I knew the emperor was in the empress dowager's palace.

Azhu divided her energy into two parts, one part was in front of her eyes, and the other part was in the apse. Although Lin Lang's performance was a little unsatisfactory, but with the bracelet, there was no big trouble at all, and finally put The Yiqi pill was taken by the emperor.Ah Zhu looked from the bracelet, and saw that the emperor's complexion seemed to have improved a lot, but his complexion was still a little pale, as if he hadn't fully healed, which was a bit strange.

Although Azhu has the eyes of the sky, she must see it with her own eyes to activate this spell, otherwise it is useless. Therefore, she cannot see the emperor's lifespan at the moment, but Azhu has seen the fate of King Gongyu, and she is ranked extremely high. The face of the emperor!

No wonder Master Qing Yang admired him so much, this is the next emperor.

It's just that Azhu was a little funny, but the emperor who was still sitting firmly on the dragon chair didn't come out of the inner hall directly. Instead, under the guidance of the palace staff, he went around in a big circle from the back hall, and finally came from the queen mother's room. Walking outside Renshou Palace, a eunuch shouted loudly outside the door, "The emperor is here!"

The emperor, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, put on a posture that I had just arrived, walked in swaggeringly, and looked at King Gongyu in surprise, "The fourth brother also came to pay his respects to the Queen Mother?"

"Son, pay respects to Father Emperor!"

Ah Zhu sighed, and knelt down along with the crowd powerlessly, but she felt angrily in her heart, this palace doesn’t look like a good place, it’s just kneeling all day long, the people in the palace are also weird, they always like to say something Duplicity, obviously disliked in the heart, but with a kind face on the face, it is even more annoying than her uncle Yuanshi Zhenjun.

The emperor saw Xiao Douding kneeling in the crowd at a glance, and after omitting everyone's salute, the emperor pointed to Azhu and said, "Are you the second daughter of the Lin family?"

Ah Zhu was exhausted, and bowed again, "Return to Your Majesty, the little girl is the Pearl."

"Okay, very good." The emperor beamed with joy, and Ah Zhu didn't know what the old emperor was up to, and then he heard the emperor begin to present awards.

"Xi Ping, issue an edict on my behalf, to make Lin Lang, the eldest daughter of Lin Ruhai, a member of the Ministry of Public Affairs, as the Princess Protector, with a reward of 800 taels and a few rare treasures..." At this point, the emperor suddenly stopped, wanting to come He didn't think about what to give, so he said, "I'll open my inner treasury later to pick out a few treasures. I'll keep it empty for now, and I'll give you another Princess Huguo Mansion, and the construction will start tomorrow."

As soon as the emperor's reward was finished, everyone was shocked. The empress dowager was the most dissatisfied. She felt that Lin Lang had given the emperor some kind of charm to win people's hearts, so she suddenly became like this and was named a princess. , and she is still the princess protecting the country, even more honorable than the emperor's own daughter.

"It's not appropriate for the emperor to do this. Although Miss Lin is a dragon girl, she must have done nothing. How can she be named a princess?"

The emperor smiled nonchalantly, "My mother's words are wrong. In September last year, Miss Lin Lang obtained heavy rain in the dry land and rescued the people in Jiangxi. How can such a great contribution be said to be useless? ?”

Having said that, the Queen Mother was stunned. She actually forgot that there was another problem. Let alone whether Lin Lang begged for the rain or not, but since the common people have recognized this matter, how could she To slap the people in the face, it is said that the people in Lin'an County built many temples for her to sing praises to the Dragon Girl, so the emperor's granting Lin Lang at this time can be regarded as conforming to the public opinion.

"Since this is the case, the Ai family will not have much trouble." The queen mother finally admitted it.

The emperor nodded, but then continued, "Xi Ping, make another achievement, and make Lin Ruhai, the third daughter of Mingzhu, the Minister of Zhongshu Province, as the county lord, with a reward of 300 taels, and the other treasures will be selected from the inner treasury."

This time, not only the Queen Mother, but even King Gongyu was a little surprised. Both daughters of Lin Ruhai's family were granted titles, which was indeed a bit too much, but he couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking.

The Empress Dowager had a reason to object this time, "Emperor, since the Princess Protector has already been crowned, the county magistrate may have gone too far. Could it be that the four-year-old girl Azhu has also made some contributions?"

"The queen mother is worrying too much." The emperor said calmly, "I just think that A Zhusheng is cute, and I am very happy. Don't I even have the qualifications to be a county head?"

The empress dowager's expression changed drastically, she seemed to have forgotten that the emperor in front of her was not her own son, but she was respectful to her face, wondering how to reject her in her heart, the reason why the emperor hid in her back hall to recuperate was simply because She was the empress dowager bestowed by him, and she can only rely on him. If the new emperor takes the throne, the empress dowager's honor may not be much left.

Everyone present had different thoughts, even Ah Zhu was at a loss as to what kind of dragon formation the old emperor had set up. She enshrined Lin Lang in order to keep herself hidden, but in the end she made such a big splash out of thin air Could it be that Lin Lang said something to the emperor that he shouldn't have said?

Although Lin Lang was wearing a bracelet, Ah Zhu could only see what was going on around Lin Lang, but she couldn't hear the sound. Suddenly, Ah Zhu felt a little unhappy, and hurriedly bowed her head in front of the emperor.

"Azhu is terrified, please His Majesty take back the order!"

The emperor looked at the little baby in front of him, and believed the rumors more in his heart. Although the girl looked childish, she acted and spoke with dignity. Although she was kneeling, there was no trace of reverence or fear in her eyes. As if what she was kneeling on was just a statue, not at all like a four-year-old.

The children he saw on weekdays, not to mention the children of the minister's family, even his own children seemed to be afraid of angering him. This little girl was really interesting.

"Get up and talk." The emperor said.

"If Your Majesty does not agree today, Ah Zhu will not be able to kneel!" Chen Zhu replied, and then really knelt there.

The emperor didn't intend to embarrass her, but in the end he followed her wishes, "That's all, I won't give you a title, but give you more things to enjoy."

In this way, Ah Zhu finally got up and thanked the emperor again.The queen mother sighed in her heart that this girl is sensible, saving her extra trouble, even King Gongyu was relieved, although his original intention was to win over Lin Ruhai, but if the emperor favors the Lin family too much, Lin Ruhai must be treating the emperor too much. Even more heart-wrenching, it will definitely be a major obstacle to his ascension to the throne in the future, and he may have to remove it himself.

Afterwards, everyone accompanied the emperor to have breakfast in the Empress Dowager's palace, which was regarded as giving the Empress Dowager face.

It's just that the atmosphere was really embarrassing, Ah Zhu only used half full, and after the emperor stopped chopsticks, no one dared to eat more, and soon some palace people came to clean up the banquet table, Ah Zhu waited for a long time but couldn't wait to go out However, the decree of the palace was left in the palace, and was forced to go to Jingren Palace with the emperor.

Lin Lang was left in the imperial garden to enjoy the scenery, and only Ah Zhu was summoned into the inner hall by the emperor. Now she became more and more confused about the emperor's mind, and her right hand kept touching her chest anxiously. Longzhu, thinking that if the emperor is really hostile to her, she will definitely give him a good look!

She followed the emperor step by step into the palace, and saw the cloud-top sandalwood beams in the bedroom, the crystal jade as the lamp, the pearl as the curtain, and Fan Jin as the pillar foundation, which was several times more magnificent than the Empress Dowager's Shouren Palace.

It's the first time Ah Zhu has seen such extravagance and beauty. Even Master Tongtian's Biyou Palace is extremely majestic, but Tongtian must be a cultivator, and it is impossible to pursue such a luxurious scene. .

Seeing that Ah Zhu was a little dumbfounded, the old emperor asked with a smile, "Why, isn't your heavenly court not as beautiful as my palace?"

Azhu was startled, and stared at the old emperor wishing to get her eyes out, "What did you say?"

"You don't call me Your Majesty anymore?"

Only then did Azhu realize that she had slipped her words. At this moment, she thought of many messy things, and couldn't help opening her eyes to search the emperor's soul. But after looking at it repeatedly, she finally calmed down. Come to think of it, he is not the reincarnation of some great god, but an ordinary mortal.

"What is your Majesty's meaning? Forgive Azhu for her lack of knowledge and lack of understanding."

Seeing that Ah Zhu looked as if he was facing a formidable enemy, the emperor was not angry, but just sighed and said, "Don't pretend, I already know, you are the reincarnation of a fairy? That dragon girl is just a cover!"

"You you you...how did you know that!" Ah Zhu was furious in an instant. She had carefully arranged the layout for several years, but she never thought it would be so easy to see through. Although Bizhi always said she was stupid, Master used to It is also often said that she does not know how to intrigue, and she herself does not have any great expectations for this strategy, but this is too much of a blow to her self-confidence.

The emperor didn't show any signs of expression, just quietly watched her keep changing her face, until the last look of despondency, and then said, "I was only skeptical before, but I am convinced today, so the land of Gan asked for rain. Is that what you did too?"

Although Azhu showed her feet, she still calmed down. The emperor behaved so strangely that he could even tolerate the crime of deceiving the emperor. He must have asked her for something, and he was planning something big!

"This matter is just your majesty's imagination, the dragon girl is indeed the dragon girl!"

The emperor smiled, and asked casually, "Aren't you afraid that I will punish you for deceiving the emperor and punish your nine clans?"

But Azhu also laughed, "Azhu is afraid, but you are not afraid that Azhu can easily take your life before you give the decree?"

The emperor's face finally became angry. He had never seen such a disobedient person in his entire life as an emperor, but after thinking about her identity and what he wanted from her, he finally endured it. "The fairy was joking."

"Your Majesty was joking too." Ah Zhu also replied.

The two looked at each other in embarrassment for a while, but they both had nothing to say. The emperor finally couldn't hold back his anger. After all, he still had too much desire to become a fairy, and said, "I don't know what the fairy thinks, but I have a destiny?"

Originally, Ah Zhu had been speculating in her heart for a while, not knowing what kind of tricks the old emperor was playing, until the emperor made it clear at this moment, she finally understood, since the other party wants something, it is fine, if Hao has nothing to ask for, she is really I don't know how to end it.

In the past, she always thought that mortals were just made by Nuwa Empress Kneading clay. Brains made of clay are ignorant and ignorant. , is not so easy to deceive, if she is not the reincarnation of an immortal, with dragon balls by her side, if she is faced with such a situation, she may have to shed half of her skin even if she is not dead.

The real fool turned out to be only herself, no matter in this mortal world or in the previous life, didn't she just lose out on arrogance in the end?

In terms of mind, she is indeed not as good as the old man in front of her.

Ah Zhu finally admitted that she was inferior to ordinary people, as if she only felt a window opened in the spiritual sea, her mind was bright, and her eyes were shining with brilliance.

There is a long coral window just behind Ah Zhu, and outside the window is the imperial garden, full of exotic flowers and plants, very colorful and beautiful, it is the place where the emperor and his concubines usually visit.

But today Azhu is standing in front of the window, her small body is against the golden sunlight, as if glowing with five colors of divine light. Her eyes are far away and empty, and she doesn't know where she falls, as if she will become a fairy in the next second. The imperial garden where the wind blows and the flowers fall outside the window adds a bit of fairy air, in the eyes of the emperor, it is no different from a fairyland in Yaochi.

The emperor had never seen such a scene before, he didn't know that Ah Zhu had just fallen into an epiphany, his heart felt hot, and he quickly called out, "Immortal..."

Unfortunately, this sound of the gods just interrupted Azhu's epiphany, and also damaged her chance. Although Azhu was a little annoyed, she knew that this place was not the place for her epiphany, not to mention that this epiphany was also the place for the emperor. It caused it, so he can't blame him.

Although this epiphany was not completed, it finally gave Ah Zhu a clear understanding, and she sincerely offered a family gift to the emperor, "It was Ah Zhu who made a picture before, and I never expected that there are pearls of talent among mortals." , Ah Zhu thanked His Majesty for your suggestion."

"This..." The emperor couldn't understand Azhu's meaning, but he also saw that what she said was just a good intention, "Then what I said before..."

Azhu shook her head and smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, you have enjoyed the ultimate glory in the mortal world, and you still want to go away as a fairy when you are about to die. There is absolutely no such beautiful thing in this world."

The emperor thought about Azhu's words, and asked with a frown, "Fairy means, because I became the emperor, I broke my fairy relationship?"

Azhu shook her head again and said, "That's not absolute, but those who seek the Tao seek enlightenment, and you are in the world of mortals, and you are more attached to power in your heart. How can you have the fate of immortals? Your eyes are blinded by wealth and glory. You really ask yourself, are you looking for immortal fate, or longevity?"

Wan Shi didn't expect the old emperor to be so persistent, and he didn't know whether it was a momentary impulse or something, and asked, "If I give up the throne and sincerely seek immortality, may I find immortal fate?"

A Zhu was a little surprised, but after all she didn't know if the emperor just had a feverish brain or if he really wanted to, so she asked, "Would you give up this gorgeous clothes and gourmet food, a luxurious residence, clear porridge and side dishes all day long, a lonely lamp as a companion, and even wearing clothes?" Do you have to do all the food and clothing yourself?"

The old emperor was naturally not that stupid, so he just asked, "As far as I know, Fairy Azhu doesn't live like this even in the Lin Mansion. Ruhai and his wife are very fond of you, right?"

"It's natural." Azhu didn't expect the old emperor's mind to turn quite fast, so she said lightly, "But Azhu is different from your majesty. Azhu is originally an immortal, but your majesty is a human being. Azhu's immortal No one can take away the predestined relationship, but His Majesty came here after begging for it, and His Majesty enjoys all the blessings, otherwise how can he show his determination to seek the Tao.”

The old emperor was silent for a moment, and finally asked, "Is the fairy testing me?"

Ah Zhu shook her head, "It's not me who is testing you, but God. If God's will allows you to become a fairy, you will become a fairy. If God's will is against you, you will be hardworking all your life, and you will not be able to find a way."
