In the royal family, the family relationship is not even as good as that of ordinary people. When the father was in power, he intended to marry her to Sharjah. Now that the emperor's brother is in power, the fate of becoming a political tool is still unavoidable. Long Xiyue
While lamenting her fate, she couldn't help but think of her compatriot brother far away in Xichuan. If she still cares about him in her heart, it is this brother. Now her brother Long Yefang is under house arrest by the Li family in Xichuan and has become their hostage. She doesn't know what the future will hold.
The fate of their brothers and sisters was so miserable. Thinking of this, Long Xiyue couldn't help but sigh.
Hu Xiaotian walked in with a pile of books in his arms. He happened to hear Long Xiyue's sigh. He glanced at her with concern and put the pile of books on the desk: "Eunuch Li from the library just sent it over.
, said it was a book list that Her Royal Highness the Princess had made before."
Long Xiyue nodded: "Put it there first."
Hu Xiaotian saw her serious expression as if she was worried, and said softly: "If there is anything unhappy about the princess, can you tell me so that Xiaotian can help share your worries?"
Long Xiyue said: "I always thought about seeing my father before leaving Dakang, but when I really got the chance to meet, I hesitated."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "It is a good thing for father and daughter to meet. I wonder why the princess feels hesitant?"
Long Xiyue said: "It is better not to see each other than to meet each other. Seeing each other again will only increase the sentimentality."
Hu Xiaotian said: "If the princess doesn't want to go, she doesn't have to go." In his opinion, this meeting was full of conspiracy.
Long Xiyue bit her lips and said, "As long as I have grown up, I have only spoken to my father seven times in total." She remembered this matter clearly.
Hu Xiaotian nodded. In the eyes of ordinary people, the children of the royal family are loved by thousands of people. They are called golden branches and jade leaves. They look up to them one by one. They are envious in their hearts, but who can think of their sorrow. The family affection in the royal family is weak.
Most children of the royal family cannot even get the most basic fatherly and motherly love.
Long Xiyue said: "But when I think about my departure this time, I am afraid that I will never have the chance to come back in this life. Due to emotions and reasons, I should go see him and say goodbye to him."
Hu Xiaotian said: "If you feel uneasy, I will accompany you." He also did not forget the character Li Yuncong gave him.
Long Xiyue's beautiful eyes bloomed with a strange look, and Hu Xiaotian's calm and determined expression made her feel at ease from the bottom of her heart. Maybe this is the sense of security that people often talk about. Long Xiyue nodded lightly, and the long-lost smile finally appeared on the corners of her lips.
Smiling. Hu Xiaotian's motive for going there was not simple. Accompanying Long Xiyue was only one of the reasons. Another reason was to take this opportunity to explore the situation in Piaomiao Mountain. Li Yuncong sent a young eunuch to convey the message. Really
This is probably the purpose of .
Piaomiao Mountain is located in the center of Yaochi. There was originally a long bridge connected to the shore. However, after Emperor Long Xuanen moved into Lingxiao Palace, the long bridge was destroyed by the order of Emperor Long Yelin, and Piaomiao Mountain became an isolated island in the center of Yaochi.
.
Long Xuanen claimed to be retiring in Lingxiao Blessed Land, but in fact he was imprisoned here by his current emperor Long Yelin. In order to prevent Long Xuanen from escaping from here, an extremely tight defense was set up on Miao Miao Mountain, with one sentry every five steps.
In Bu Yigang, the top ten selected masters in the field took turns to be in charge of guarding. The overall dispatch was left to Murong Zhan. It can be seen that Murong Zhan was still highly regarded by Long Yelin. Hu Xiaotian once inquired about Murong Zhan's camp.
The outside world's evaluation of this person is that he is selfless and unkind. However, he was not reused when the old emperor was in power. He became the commander of the imperial guards after the new emperor ascended the throne. This shows that he should be Long Yelin's
I just don’t know what the relationship between him and Ji Feihua is. According to what Hu Xiaotian has learned so far, Murong Zhan seems to be neutral between Ji Feihua and Quan De’an.
Since Long Xuanen was imprisoned here, contact with the outside world has been cut off. For such a long time, no one from the royal family has been allowed to visit. It coincides with the New Year. And because Long Xiyue is about to marry far away, she made an exception and was allowed to visit.
. Speaking of which, Long Xiyue had already proposed this matter, but could not get approval until today.
Yaochi is an artificial lake with hundreds of slopes and blue water. The deepest part is about ten feet. The lake surface is calm and the water is clear. The white clouds in the sky and the surrounding scenery are clearly reflected in the water, blending the lake, mountains and sky into a crystal-clear one.
, the scenery is picturesque and breathtaking.
The ferry was rebuilt from the remnant of the old long bridge. There were four guards waiting at the entrance of the ferry.
Seeing Long Xiyue's arrival, the four of them said at the same time: "Greetings to Your Highness Princess Anping, may you live a thousand years!"
Princess Anping's entire delicate body was wrapped in a black cloak. Her beautiful eyes glanced at a few people and said softly: "No gifts!" She handed over the customs clearance voucher in her hand.
The leading guard looked at it and then said: "Commander Murong asked us to wait here for the princess to come, please!"
A small boat was docked in front of the pier. The boat was not big, about three feet long and five feet wide. It had both ends tilted up. It looked a bit like Aragon in the Venetian Water City. Hu Xiaotian jumped in from the shore first, and then stretched out his hand.
Holding Princess Anping's hand, she helped her enter the cabin. Because he guessed Quan De'an's conspiracy to let him come to the Purple Orchid Palace, Hu Xiaotian realized that Anping's trip to Piaomiao Mountain to visit the Supreme Emperor was by no means simple.
It was Quan De'an who worked behind the scenes and set up a trap to trap Long Xiyue, who didn't know the truth, in order to lay the foundation for slandering them for rebellion in the future. This old eunuch was really deliberate and did everything possible.
Hu Xiaotian knew that it might be a trap, but still took the initiative to follow Princess Anping, just to use this opportunity to explore the mystery of Piao Miao Mountain, complete the task assigned to him by Li Yuncong, and also take the opportunity to bargain with him. As for Quan De'an
, he is not worried that they will attack him now. After all, Ji Feihua has not come back yet. Quan De'an's ultimate goal is Ji Feihua, not himself. If he wants to bring down Ji Feihua, he must be patient and take a long-term approach to catch the big one.
Fish, this actually gives me a lot of opportunities.
In addition to the boatman, there were two guards who accompanied them on the boat.
The boat slowly swung in the direction of Piaomiao Mountain, and Princess Anping sat down in the cabin. Hu Xiaotian looked around, and he had a panoramic view of the largest body of water in the palace. Except for the lotus pond he visited last time, there was no other water on the water.
Without any shelter, it gets dark very quickly. When the boat reaches the center of the lake, the night suddenly skips dusk and is soaking in from the sky little by little. The dim light of the setting sun still struggles between the sky and the earth, dividing the sky and the earth into three parts.
There are different realms of light and dark. Not long after, the light in the middle was completely soaked by the night, and the color of the water turned dark. The swaying lanterns on the Misty Mountain dragged out long shadows on the lake, following the ups and downs of the waves.
Swaying like long twisted snakes.
Hu Xiaotian suddenly remembered the thrilling battle in Biyun Lake a few days ago, and the two giant pythons in the lake. The water surface of Yaochi is much smaller than Biyun Lake, but the water depth is deeper than Biyun Lake. I don’t know what’s underneath.
Are there any terrible creatures hiding there? There are all kinds of strange things in the world. On the surface, things are calm, but in fact, there are undercurrents.
Princess Anping's expression was calm and peaceful. With Hu Xiaotian by her side, she felt that she could rely on her in everything. This sense of solidity was something she had never experienced in the past years.
Everything seemed smooth and calm. The shadow of Piao Miao Mountain blocked the light and the boat. Hu Xiaotian subconsciously raised his head. This hill, which did not look majestic in the distance, turned out to be so when he got close to it.
It gives people a strong sense of oppression from the bottom of their hearts. The mountain is steep and rises abruptly from the water. There are no roads around the mountain to reach the top. The east and west sides of the mountain are carved with two huge dragons, with dragon heads.
Located on the top of the peak, with the dragon's tail immersed in the water, these two long dragons are built according to the mountain. They are magnificent and run through the head and tail. From a distance, they look like flying dragons going out to sea, with magnificent momentum. This is the Ming Dynasty Emperor Long Yuan reorganizing the rivers and mountains and obeying the military advisor Zhuge Yunchun.
It is recommended to be carved on both sides of Piaomiao Mountain in the center of Yaochi Lake, which contains the Feng Shui bureau, which means that the dragons in the great prosperity spread all over the world, and the Long family will last for thousands of years.
There is a waterfall at the southern foot of Piaomiao Mountain. The waterfall flows down hundreds of feet from the Lingxiao Pond on the top of the mountain and falls into the Yao Pond. The water circulation system in it was designed by Nangong She, the most famous craftsman in the history of Dakang. It starts over and over again.
, after hundreds of years, the waterfall has remained as majestic as ever.
The only way to go up the mountain is on the north side of Piaomiao Mountain. On the north side is a straight and steep cliff. The cliff is smooth and barren of grass, with no place for hands or feet to cling. On the cliff are engraved the four characters "Piaomiao Shengjing".
The boat's hull was long and narrow, and it traveled extremely fast in the water. It broke through the waves and dragged out a long white water mark. It soon arrived at the north side of Piaomiao Mountain and docked at the other end of the long bridge. The boatman
He and the guards immediately swung the boat away again.
There were people on the shore who were specially responsible for welcoming the guests. The two guards wore bronze masks on their faces, making it difficult to see their true faces. One of them held a lantern in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Follow me, you two."
Hu Xiaotian originally thought that the security here was nothing more than this, but after arriving at Piaomiao Peak, he felt something was wrong. They were first introduced into the room in front, and the masked man said to the two of them: "Your Highness, go to Piaomiao
Before going up the mountain, you are supposed to take a shower and change clothes, and anything brought from down the mountain is not allowed to be brought up the mountain."
Hu Xiaotian was shocked when he heard this, holy shit! What do you mean? Doesn't it mean that you have to strip naked and take a shower, and then put on the clothes they provided? If that is the case, wouldn't I be exposed? He didn't expect that there would be such a level here.
, If I had known this, I wouldn’t have come over at all.
The current plan is to stay at the foot of the mountain to keep his secret. Hu Xiaotian said to Long Xiyue: "Your Highness, the little one is waiting at the foot of the mountain." In order to avoid detection, he could only retreat.
, taking off his clothes in public, wouldn’t his secret be exposed?
