Long Chen got dressed and was about to leave. Shi Jingxiang put on the cloak for Long Chen.
The snowstorm outside has started again, and the snow this year is particularly heavy.
"Take this with you and think of me every day."
After putting on the cloak, Shi Jingxiang stuffed her bellyband into Long Chen's arms.
Long Chen smiled and said: "Bringing your bellyband with you, just like you are by your side?"
Shi Jingxiang nodded seriously: "Yes, you should take it with you when you sleep at night."
Long Chen smiled and said: "Okay, remember."
Pushing the door open and walking to the yard, the horse is ready.
When getting on the horse, Shi Jingxiang took off the hairpin on her head, put it into Long Chen's pocket, and said, "I'll give you another hairpin, don't forget me."
Long Chen smiled and said: "You've already given me a bellyband, why do you give me a hairpin? Don't you use it yourself?"
Shi Jingxiang curled her lips and said: "You have to wear this hairpin on your head to let the women outside know that you have a master. They should not seduce you, and you should not seduce others!"
Long Chen took the hairpin, inserted it into his hair, and said with a smile: "Is that all right?"
Shi Jingxiang nodded with satisfaction.
After leaving the courtyard, Long Chen did not return to Prince Wu's Mansion, but entered the palace.
Putting the hairpin into his arms, Long Chen dismounted and entered Fengming Palace.
When she arrived at the door, the palace maid immediately bowed and said, "Is King Wu coming to see the Holy Majesty?"
Long Chen nodded and said: "Exactly, the Holy One is not here?"
If the empress were here, the palace maid would not ask this question.
The palace maid said: "Your Majesty is enjoying the snow with the four princesses in Beiyuan."
Long Chen turned around and walked towards Beiyuan.
Beiyuan is located to the north of the palace and is equivalent to the Royal Forest Park. It is very large and contains all kinds of rare birds and animals as well as exotic flowers and plants.
However, the main thing on snowy days is to enjoy the snow.
Fengming Palace was some distance away from Beiyuan, and Long Chen walked for half an hour before arriving.
The empress and the four princesses were sitting together. There was a large stove in the middle, several pots of wine were placed on the stove, and a group of female officials were waiting on them.
Yingfeng, Di Waner, Qingyue, Xuan Yi, Wen Shuzhen, and He Ningxin were all there.
The second princess, Emperor Xingwan, wore a thick mink velvet cloak, held a brush and wrote a poem quickly.
"Mother, let's see how my son's poems are."
The empress looked at it, nodded and said: "Not bad, there is considerable progress."
Emperor Xingwan asked again: "How about Bilong Chengen?"
The empress smiled and said nothing, and Di Luoxi said, "You will know if you ask him."
Everyone turned around and saw Long Chen approaching. Emperor Xingwan immediately collected the poems.
"The humble minister pays homage to His Majesty. Princesses, please be polite."
The empress smiled and said: "I came just in time, Xingwan wrote a poem, you see how it goes."
Long Chen looked at Di Xingwan, who hurriedly said: "No need to read the random writing."
Everyone knew that Di Xingwan was embarrassed, but they didn't point it out.
Emperor Lingyi came to Emperor Xingwan's rescue and said: "The Queen Mother has got a few bottles of good wine, how about you try it."
Long Chen sat down and the Empress said: "This is the rice wine I brewed. It is not as powerful as your strong wine, but it is more suitable for drinking on snowy days."
The alcohol content of Long Chen's wine brewed by distillation is too high. If heated, the alcohol content will be lost and it will become inferior wine.
The empress brews rice wine, which is suitable for drinking hot wine, perfect for snowy days.
Di Waner poured a glass for Long Chen, and Long Chen tasted it carefully and praised: "It's sweet and very warm."
The empress smiled and said: "If it tastes good, drink two more cups."
Di Waner poured two more glasses for Long Chen, and Long Chen drank them all in one gulp.
In Long Chen's impression, the Empress' family of five rarely got together, and this was also the first time for Long Chen to attend such a gathering.
"Today I'm drinking and enjoying the snow. Why don't you, a poet like you, come up with a poem?"
"Remember, the first time you wrote a poem about snow when you entered the palace?"
The empress looked at Di Luoxi and added: "It seems to be in Luoxi's bathroom?"
Well
Long Chen felt so embarrassed. As the mother-in-law, is it appropriate for the empress to speak like this?
Long Chen chuckled and said, "I can't remember this clearly."
Long Chen just wanted to ease the awkward atmosphere, but Di Luoxi became angry and said angrily: "Damn eunuch, I can forget this!"
Di Luoxi felt that Long Chen had forgotten the first time the two met, so she was very unhappy.
Long Chen had no choice but to say: "Of course I remember. You were taking a shower at that time. You said I was peeking, and Qingyue and Xuan Yi threatened to gouge my eyes out."
Speaking of Di Luoxi taking a shower at that time, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward again.
"What are you talking about?"
Di Luoxi also felt very embarrassed.
The empress coughed dryly and said, "It's snowing so heavily today, how about a poem from the Poetry Fairy?"
Long Chen thought for a while and bowed: "Wei Chen can't think of a good poem to sing about the snow. The second princess is very quick in thinking, so I'd better let the second princess do it."
Of course he can compose a poem praising the snow. Long Chen is leaving some space for Emperor Xingwan.
If Long Chen writes poetry, Di Xingwan and others will have no chance.
Di Xingwan was stunned for a moment, and understood what Long Chen meant, which was to save face for himself.
The empress smiled and did not continue talking about poetry. Instead, she asked: "You came here today to enjoy the snow?"
Long Chen said: "There are some things that need to be reported."
The empress said: "Say it."
Long Chen looked at the people around him. The Empress stood up and said, "Come here."
The empress stood up and walked in front, Long Chen followed behind, and the two entered a warm pavilion.
Watching the empress and Long Chen enter the room, Di Luoxi frowned and said, "Damn eunuch, are you still hiding something from me?"
Di Lingyi said: "I'm definitely not hiding it from you."
There were too many people around, and it was uncertain which palace maid would spread the word.
Di Luoxi poured a glass of wine and was still a little unhappy.
In the Nuan Pavilion, the empress said: "Tell me what it is."
Long Chen said: "I plan to go to Holy Snow Peak to thoroughly understand the affairs of the Changsheng Sect."
The empress's face changed suddenly, she shook her head and said, "It's not necessary. The Changsheng Sect is a martial arts sect anyway. As long as the competition between Saint Xuefeng and Saint Xuefeng passes, the world will be at peace."
"You are going out alone. If danger occurs, what will you do to Luo Xi and Lingyi?"
Long Chen said: "I always feel that the Changsheng Sect is not that simple. It may be related to what happened with the Martial Saint back then."
The empress' eyes moved slightly and asked: "What evidence do you have?"
Long Chen shook his head and said: "No, I'm just guessing. I read a lot of historical data, and after combining them, this is my guess."
The empress looked at Long Chen, her eyes twinkling.
Long Chen asked: "Does the Holy One know anything?"
The Empress remained silent and turned to look at Feixue outside the window. Long Chen did not ask any further questions and quietly waited for the Empress to make a decision.
"I've heard some rumors."
After a long time, the empress began to speak slowly and said: "You know that when the Martial Saint pacified the world, the three generals under his command established their respective countries, which established the future pattern of the world being divided into three parts."
Long Chen nodded and said: "I know, everyone in the world knows."
This matter is known to the whole world and is not a secret.
The empress said slowly: "Three generals founded the country and proclaimed themselves emperors. Where did the Martial Saint go?"
Where did Wu Sheng go?
This question is the most critical, and it is also the question that Long Chen wants to answer after searching through historical materials.
