The lingering time always seems to be extremely short. The sky was slightly bright the next day, and Bai Li had to get up to go to court early. Feng Ruqing also got up, dismissed the maid, and went to the bedside to dress Bai Li with her own hands.

"I always felt before that you were thin and childish in appearance. If you became a king, you would be like a child wearing an adult's clothes." Feng Ruqing raised her head slightly and looked at Bai Li.

Although he is still not fat, he has been lingering all night, and his complexion is not good, but he is tall and has long legs. This gold-embroidered royal robe is added to his body, and his loose long hair is tied up high with a crown. With the posture of a phoenix and a dragon, the majesty of the emperor is first revealed, and

Because the white hair will definitely come out of the dust.

It was completely different from the Bai Li she met for the first time, the fierce-looking, devastated and desperate young man.

Feng Ruqing smiled and said, "Now it seems that Your Majesty is really charming and graceful, which is heart-wrenching to see."

Bai Li has never felt that he was good-looking. The dark spots that are deeply etched in his memory have always been his deep-seated inferiority complex.

On the contrary, he had long forgotten how frightening Feng Ruqing looked when he mistakenly thought he was a painter. He only remembered that Feng Ruqing was so beautiful now that she alone could outshine all the beauty in the palace.

Hearing Feng Ruqing praise him like this, Bai Li just smiled, pinched the side of Feng Ruqing's face, and said affectionately, "I'll give it to you."

The people serving in the palace couldn't see Feng Ruqing, but after repeated visits, they knew something was wrong with Bai Li, especially his white hair, which looked particularly strange.

Thinking of the Empress Dowager Kong Yun's incident, while the palace people served her wholeheartedly, they felt even more in awe of Bai Li.

However, Bai Li's white hair was a miracle in the hearts of the courtiers and even the people. I don't know when, it was already spread in the market that on the day the emperor ascended the throne, a real dragon appeared in the world, and the sky was filled with white.

Now Bai Li's white hair is the proof that the true dragon has come to the world.

No one deliberately controlled these words, and they were both beneficial and harmless. However, Feng Ruqing had never heard this statement before, otherwise she would have laughed.

Even though she knew that the world always likes to exaggerate, spread rumors, and even blindly believe in miracles, this is too distorted. The real dragon that appeared that day was clearly Gong You. He was a dark sinful dragon, so how could he be white?

Dragon's theory?

But no matter what, it's still good. Bai Li doesn't care about that at all. He only recently discovered that as an emperor, he really has too many things to learn.

After sending Feng Ruqing out of the palace to a secret place, Bai Li watched her break through the void and go to and from the underworld. He was shocked that she was getting stronger and stronger, and sighed that she was really good to him.

She clearly wasn't the one who should stay for him.

Feng Ruqing returned to the ghost realm and continued working, while Bai Li began to cook four meals a day, take classes, review memorials, and even learn some superficial boxing, archery and equestrian skills.

The relationship between the two people has become a very pleasant one. Most of the time they are separated by Yin and Yang, and they are busy with each other's affairs. But when the ten-day appointment comes, Feng Ruqing will put down whatever she is doing and commit suicide.

Jing left the world and came to the human world to find her human king and emperor.

Every time Gong You watched her leave from behind, he would experience self-loathing. He would grab his hands and sink into the sea, go to the back of his own dormitory, and practice sweating profusely.

And Feng Ruqing, every time she went back, no matter earlier or later, she would see Bai Li dressed up and holding a palace lantern, waiting on the stone steps of the deserted palace, with a calm smile on his face, willing to indulge in

And waiting for his beautiful dream.

Even though this dream would consume his physical and mental life, he had never tied red silk on the window sash as Feng Ruqing said.

He was even afraid that Feng Ruqing would misunderstand, so he ordered that no red be displayed in the entire palace during the New Year's Day, claiming that it was to commemorate the tens of thousands of Funan soldiers who died unjustly, as well as the families of those innocent victims.

So the people rushed to imitate Bai Li's words and almost regarded Bai Li's words as divine will. During Liang Jing's New Year's Day, the whole city inside and outside the palace was white.

Every time Feng Ruqing was in front of Longqi Palace and Bai Li held her hand, she could detect changes in him. He began to become calmer and calmer, and his stature became more and more upright.

Occasionally she came early and squatted on the roof of the meeting hall, and saw him sitting among the ministers with a solemn face. Even if he spoke softly, his majesty was as heavy as a thousand pounds. Every time, Feng Ruqing sighed.

Just like the Tongtian Pillar of Longyuan Hall, he gradually became the true king of this country.

In the fifth year of Bai Li's accession to the throne, "Pei Congnan" died, and the courtiers no longer had the tendency to form cliques. He began to take charge of the government personally, changed the name of the country to Fengqing, and vigorously and resolutely reformed the taxation and the squalor of the aristocratic family.

That year, more corrupt officials and dandy men were killed at Caishikou than there were pigs killed in the imperial city in a whole year.

But the name in the book of common people praying for him is that of the Virtuous and Benevolent Emperor.

During the five years of the Fengqing Kingdom, everything was peaceful and peaceful, there was no fighting at the borders, the garrison and soldiers had strong horses and strong waists, and no country from the four seas dared to invade.

Bai Li also built water defense towers in the city surrounded by water, and trained naval officers in advance. By now, he was as solid as gold, and the whole country did not close their doors at night.

He was supposed to be an eternal tyrant who collaborated with evil spirits and killed people to save their lives, but now he has become a wise king who responds to a hundred calls and is regarded as a golden rule even if he says anything casually.

Because he was supported by the people and had a strong dragon spirit, even though Feng Ruqing gradually became stronger, he never hurt him too much.

Bai Li would sometimes even beg her to stay for two days, and when Feng Ruqing was helpless, she would stay.

No matter how majestic and inviolable a person may be in the eyes of outsiders, he will always take off his gold-embroidered royal robe in front of her, and he will become that annoying young master.

However, as he gets older, his way of pestering people is different. He will no longer cry and cry, but will look at you affectionately, speak softly, and never tire of saying love words, so that you can't refuse.

And for so many years, the reason why Feng Ruqing was most reluctant to reject him was that he had left the harem empty and stayed with her alone at the appointed time.

He even ordered the imperial doctor and Fengtiantai to fabricate a rumor that he was a real dragon who came to the world and could not marry a mortal woman, otherwise the whole country would be in disaster.

The ministers didn't believe it at first, and they wanted to send the daughter they had cultivated since childhood into the palace in order to consolidate their power. Bai Li did not refuse, but twice he vomited blood and fainted to death when the ministers mentioned it.

From then on, whoever entertains such thoughts again commits the heinous crime of intending to commit regicide.

But after all, as an emperor, he has no concubines in the harem, not even a maid to serve him closely, which is somewhat unseemly.

Although the ministers were able to turn a blind eye to the rumor because they were afraid of it, it was a big taboo that the emperor had no heirs, which was related to the country's foundation, and Bai Li had no successors.

However, Bai Li quickly resolved this matter. He took the eighth prince who survived Kong Yun back to the palace. In the eyes of outsiders, he was the only one of the bloodline of the Holy Emperor besides himself.

Although the eighth prince's mother and concubine committed a serious crime, with the current situation of the emperor's withering heirs, she had no choice but to be extraneous to the law.

So there was an heir, and no one would find Bai Li unhappy anymore. The future heir who was taken into the palace was placed in the palace farthest from Longqi Palace by Bai Li. He had to take half a carriage to even greet him.

hour.

Bai Li had done what no emperor could do, so Feng Ruqing naturally couldn't leave him alone for too long without any scruples. Every time he saw Feng Ruqing, he always said, "You're back."

As time went by, even if Feng Ruqing spent more time in Huangquan, spent more time fighting and practicing martial arts with Gong You, and even spent more time collecting evil spirits everywhere, she still felt that Bai Li's "You are back"...

She just went home.

Gongyou was very scornful of this, and once couldn't help but say that he did it on purpose, just to hold on to you!

Feng Ruqing didn't hear any sour taste, but felt it was a little sweet.

Between two people, doesn't it mean that one person must deliberately hold the other one apart, so that they can always stay together?

Bai Li always looked like he was neither fighting nor grabbing. He never asked about Feng Ruqing's affairs in the underworld of Huangquan. He never complained about Feng Ruqing's late arrival. He always dressed up to welcome and bid farewell, and was ready to eat the same food as never before.

There is also a hot spring that washes away the tiredness of your lover.

Even once, he waited until dawn in the snowy night, his limbs were numb, but he still held an umbrella and held the extinguished and cooled palace lantern, smiled stiffly at her, and said with a cold mist, "You're back."

"

Gong You did it on purpose that time, deliberately delaying time, but when he looked at Bai Li in the dark, he knew that as long as he didn't die, Feng Ruqing's eyes would never see him.

Rather, it was because that time, Bai Li stood for too long on a snowy night, which made Feng Ruqing feel distressed, and she always went back early afterwards.

Gong You can be said to have stolen the chicken but lost the rice. He never dared to make a mess again, but every time when Feng Ruqing went back to find Bai Li, he would go to the Netherworld River to soak and exhale.

The gurgling bubbles represent the sourness and anguish in the heart of a sinful dragon who is helpless and hesitant to move forward, afraid to show any affection to the person he likes.

Days like this, year after year, Gong You even felt that if he could bear it any longer, he might be able to talk to Mr. Turtle who guards Tianchi in the heaven about what it meant to endure.

The longer they work together, the better Gong You gets to know Feng Ruqing, so the less he dares to show it, he knows that she will not be half-hearted, and if he dares to show anything, she will definitely retreat.

Gong You always told himself not to rush, and would look through the book of life and death from time to time, telling himself that he was about to die.

Thinking this way, he also loathed himself, feeling that he was as vicious as the vixen who competed with his mother and concubine for favor.

Therefore, no matter how entangled and ready to act in his heart, he always adhered to that line. He never used his own power to secretly do anything, and he did not dare to get too close to Feng Ruqing.

But the longer he spent with Feng Ruqing, the more confident he became about her temperament and the contract between them.

Occasionally she showed a little tenderness, even if it was not meant for him, Gong You felt like eating honey, sweet to the core.

He loved Feng Ruqing so much that his love remained unchanged, and he hated her so much for being so long-lasting.

And Feng Ruqing, after being with Bai Li for twenty years, went back to look for him one time and found that he was secretly vomiting blood behind her back.

She returned to the underworld and checked Bai Li's life book, and found that his time was indeed running out.

Of course Gong You knew this best, so he looked at Feng Ruqing to prevent her from doing anything to change her fate. But Feng Ruqing just kept silent for a long time in front of the book of life and death, and closed it with a soft sigh.

Gong You really couldn't hold it back and asked, "Are you willing for him to die like this?"

Feng Ruqing turned her head and looked at him with a strange look, "This is a choice we already know the result of. Are you afraid that I will change his life for him?"

Gongyou's thoughts were exposed, and his ears turned red.

Feng Ruqing asked with some confusion, "I've always felt that you are very unfriendly to Bai Li. Why? He is the reincarnation of the evil ghost Ah Bi, and it was determined by heaven. Could it be that he had some old grudge against you before?"

Gong Youxin said that there is no old hatred, but new hatreds are endless, and it is still the kind of hatred that can't be done with a dull knife cutting flesh!

But he just took a deep breath, smiled and shook his head, "No, I just don't think he is worthy of you."

Feng Ruqing had become so familiar with Gong You early on that she sneered casually, "If he doesn't deserve it, who does? You deserve it? Lao Gong, I noticed, are you being speciesist?"

Gong You has something to say that he can’t say out loud. Of course I am worthy! Only I am worthy!

But he could only hum and said, "Yes, I am a real dragon, can't I discriminate against him, a fake dragon?"

Feng Ruqing was too lazy to pay attention to him and said to him, "You can deal with what happens on Cangshan Mountain these days by yourself. I will accompany Bai Li and take him back to Huangquan myself."

Gong You suddenly felt that there was no gap in his heart. They had made an agreement about Cangshan Mountain a long time ago. There was a natural ice cave there. Practicing in it was the best way to get twice the result with half the effort!

As a result, she now says she can’t go, she won’t go!
