Although they couldn't see it, they could hear it clearly.
So they all pricked up their ears to listen to what they had to say.
While they were recalling the appearance and style of the three women in their hearts, they were secretly sighing.
Sure enough, he is worthy of being a royal nobleman, with golden branches and jade leaves, and a graceful and noble demeanor that makes people feel ashamed.
Especially Her Royal Highness the Fifteenth Princess, whose reputation is well-deserved.
What's rare is that she is so kind and tolerant, without the royal feeling of being aloof or looking down on all living beings.
Despite the rude words, they not only did not feel disgusted, but felt friendly, and spontaneously felt good and close to her. They couldn't help but want to go further, wondering if they could join her disciples, do the hard work of her, and let her drive her.
The opportunity they have been longing for is right in front of them!
"Xiao Ling'er, when does it start?"
"It's noon. He won't come until then. Queen Mother, Grandmother, let's sit down and have a rest."
"No need to rest, no need to be tired."
"Well, you don't need to rest. It's comfortable to stand. My body and bones have been feeling much better recently. It's all due to the master." The Queen Mother said with a smile: "I feel like I have become twenty years younger."
"Royal Grandma, how can you be so amazing!"
"Little Ling'er, you are too young to feel the wonders. As I get older, I am more sensitive to the bones of the body." The Queen Mother said with a smile: "The bones of the body are getting weaker day by day. You have never tasted this feeling.
"
"Royal Grandma, I have experienced what it feels like to be weak."
"You were different from an old and weak person like me at that time," the Queen Mother said with a smile: "The feeling of getting older day by day is so despairing and painful."
"Mother, you don't feel this way, do you?"
"Your mother is in her prime, how can you feel like this!"
"It's okay." A gentle voice sounded.
"Hee hee, I feel like I am getting stronger and stronger. I can lift a cow without any problem." Chu Ling laughed brightly and sweetly.
"You……"
"Royal Grandma, you can practice Qigong. Practicing Qigong will make your body stronger."
"It's not like I haven't practiced martial arts." The Queen Mother shook her head and said, "It's useless. Martial arts cannot stop the power of time. You will know that when you are my age."
"Is divine water really so magical?"
"This is the power of Buddhism." The Queen Mother's voice was full of joy: "When I had the divine water before, I didn't feel it so deeply. Now that I have the beads, it's completely different. My body is getting stronger day by day. It's like turning back time. It's too
Unbelievable, amazing!”
"No wonder Grandma Huang, you are so energetic. You thought it was because your stubborn illness was cured and you feel so happy."
While he was talking, a report came: "Your Highness, Prince Duan is at the bottom of the mountain."
"Second brother is here too? What a coincidence. Then please invite second brother over."
"yes."
After a while, amid a burst of laughter, Duan Wang Chuhai appeared.
He strode to the three women surrounded by palace maids and chamberlains, accompanied by counselor Sun Shiqi.
King Duan Chu Hai was dressed in purple robes and looked very dignified.
As he took the position of Director of the Southern Supervision Department, his demeanor changed day by day, becoming more solemn and solemn.
He bowed respectfully to the Queen Mother and looked at Chu Ling with a smile on his face.
Sun Shiqi was dressed neatly in a green shirt, with a slim appearance and a certain air of immortality.
He just cupped his fists and saluted, then stepped aside without saying a word, acting like an invisible person.
Chu Hai smiled and said: "Fifteenth sister, heroes have the same idea, but fifteenth sister, you started faster and surrounded this place before me."
"Second brother, I don't have such a big ostentation. If it weren't for the queen mother and the imperial grandmother, I wouldn't be around here." Chu Ling looked at him with a smile.
Chu Hai said: "It's time to gather around. Don't disturb the Imperial Grandmother and Queen Mother. Do you want me to send some people over to help?"
"There's no need for second brother to send people." Chu Ling shook his head: "Second brother's people are all around now, right?"
"Well, only some of them will stay in the city, and most of the rest will be sent here." Chu Hai said with a smile.
"Haier, you are right. You should send more people here to ensure that the ceremony goes smoothly. If something goes wrong, it will become a joke." The Queen Mother said warmly.
"Yes, Imperial Grandmother." Chu Hai replied respectfully: "This is not what my grandson did on his own initiative. The outer courtyard of the Vajra Temple has come over in advance and asked us to send someone to help maintain order."
I am only responsible to my father now. I don’t need to please the others, and I don’t need to please Master Fakong, otherwise my father will not be happy to hear this.
"This is not the first time Master Fakong has held a grand ceremony. He has experience." The Queen Mother said with a smile.
Chu Hai nodded and said: "Yes, there are so many people. If some unscrupulous or extremely evil people sneak in and take the opportunity to cause trouble, then a good thing will turn into a bad thing."
"You have to keep your eyes wide open," the queen agreed softly.
Just at this time, the man in green shirt came over again to report: "Your Highness, Prince Xin has also arrived."
"Huh?" Chu Ling said in surprise: "Didn't Brother Ninth become the master of Shenwu Palace?"
The Queen Mother said with a smile: "Xiaojiu is such a warm-hearted person. When he hears about such a big event, he will definitely come back and take a look."
The Queen said: "Don't forget that he is still the Admiral of the Nine Sects."
Chu Ling smiled and said: "Brother Ninth has not been in Shenjing all this time. I forgot that he is still the Admiral of the Nine Sects. The Admiral of the Ninth Sect really needs to be present at this time... What are you doing standing there in a daze? Please hurry up and ask Brother Ninth to come up!"
"Yes." The middle-aged man in blue shirt fluttered away.
"It's been a long time since I last saw my ninth brother." King Duan Chu Hai said with a smile, "I miss him so much."
"It's good that he's not in Shenjing." The queen said softly, "so as not to be worried about the courtiers all day long and read a book from time to time, which would upset the emperor."
"I don't know if he has changed his appearance." The Queen Mother said with a smile, "Xiaojiu is working hard."
"Yes, Queen Mother, a place like Shenwu Mansion is not something that a prince or prince can handle. It is very troublesome." The Queen agreed softly.
Chu Xiang swept over like a strong wind.
The figure appeared, with purple robes floating in the air, a majestic and heroic aura, covered in dust, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "The imperial grandmother, the queen mother, are all here, and there is the second brother."
"Brother Ninth, and me."
"How could such a thing happen without you?" Chu Xiang said with a smile.
"Brother Ninth, are you back because of this ceremony?"
"That's not entirely true. I have other things to do and it happened to coincide with the ceremony." Chu Xiang said.
Chu Ling pouted her little cherry mouth.
He was telling lies with his eyes open. He must have come back specifically for the ceremony. His relationship with Fakong was so deep, how could he not come back to help?
"Xiaojiu, is everything going well over there?" the queen asked softly.
Chu Xiang smiled nonchalantly: "Don't worry, mother, there's nothing big going on over there, it's all just minor troubles... It's really gratifying and congratulatory for my second brother to show off his talents."
"Ninth brother, it's really gratifying that you can calm down the Shenwu Mansion. These are just thorns in the side. It's best not to let them cause a big mess."
"You really need to restrain them." Chu Xiang nodded.
"Brother Ninth, when will you return from Shenwu Mansion?" Chu Ling said dissatisfied: "You actually left while I was in retreat!"
"It depends on what the father wants." Chu Xiang said.
Just at this time, the middle-aged man in blue shirt floated over again and said softly: "Your Highness, I believe the prince has a subordinate coming over and saying that there is an emergency."
"Let him come over." Chu Ling said.
"Yes." The middle-aged man in blue shirt fluttered away.
Chu Ling smiled and said: "Brother Ninth, you can go and do your own thing. I am with the Imperial Grandmother and the Empress."
"Old Jiu, go quickly," the Queen Mother said.
Chu Xiang smiled and said: "Royal Grandmother, Queen Mother, don't worry, there won't be any trouble today. If there is any trouble, Master, his brand will be ruined. He will not allow this to happen."
Master Fakong has clairvoyance and can see all accidents and dangers in advance and nip them in the bud.
"Ninth brother has great confidence in Master Fakong." Chu Hai said with a smile.
Chu Xiang said: "Second brother, you have not had much contact with Master Fakong, so you don't know how powerful the master is. You will know it later."
"Haha..." Chu Hai said with a smile: "Then I should consult Master Fakong more in the future."
Chu Xiang smiled and said: "The gains from guaranteeing accuracy are huge."
"Jiu Di recommended it so, of course I want to try it."
"It's better not to try." The queen shook her head gently: "Old Jiu, don't come up with random ideas and ruin Hai'er's affairs."
Chu Xiang was puzzled.
"You also know your father's attitude towards the master," the queen said, "Lao Jiu, you can do whatever you want regardless of your father's wishes, but Hai'er can't. If you offend your father, you will suffer the consequences."
Chu Hai suddenly became solemn.
Chu Xiang shook his head and smiled: "Father..."
His figure suddenly flashed, and he jumped more than a hundred meters away. He stopped on the stone steps and looked at the two young men who were approaching in a hurry.
Fan Chenguang and Zhao Jiping came side by side.
The smile on Chu Xiang's face faded and he asked in a deep voice: "What's the matter?"
"Master, we found a big fish." Fan Chenguang said: "If you mix it with the crowd, you will disturb too many people if you do anything."
"Then don't alarm too many people!" Chu Xiang snorted.
Fan Chenguang looked at him sheepishly.
"You want me to take action personally again?!" Chu Xiang said dissatisfied: "Every time I have to take action personally, what do I want you wastes to do!"
"Master, if it weren't for a special situation and there were too many people around, we could have taken him down ourselves."
"I say this every time, which one is not special?" Chu Xiang said angrily: "Just lead him elsewhere."
"This thief is cunning and may not be effective. If he is discovered, he may hurt the people around him and make us use the trap, divert our attention, and then escape." Fan Chenguang said sternly: "He used this method the first two times he escaped.
"
"You guys are such waste." Chu Xiang snorted.
"Yes, yes, so I can only ask you, Palace Master, to take action." Fan Chenguang admitted that they were trash with no trace of abnormality on his face.
Zhao Jiping said angrily: "Although he is not a grand master, his martial arts are vicious and he has the power of a grand master. We really can't defeat him. He even killed two brothers before."
"...Don't move rashly yet, just stare. We'll talk about it later."
"Master of the Palace..."
"Stop being so verbose, I said we'll talk about it later, so we'll talk about it later!" Chu Xiang waved his hand: "Bring the portrait over here."
"It's been drawn." Fan Chenguang took out a scroll from his sleeve and handed it over.
Chu Xiang glanced at him, secretly praising his cleverness, lowered his head, unfolded the scroll, looked at it, and hummed: "Is that him? Okay, give it to Master Fakong."
"...Master Fakong?"
"Just do it."
"yes."
Chu Xiang returned to the three women.
Chu Hai smiled puzzledly and said: "Old Jiu, why did you give the portrait to Master Fakong? Did you let Master Fakong capture him?"
