Phoenix Destiny Chapter 515: Lotus seeds are bitter
A few months later, just after the New Year, the King of Zhongzhou died in the Taichen landslide, and the whole country mourned.
The little prince Shi Yu, who was only 19 years old, succeeded as king. The original princess of Zhongzhou became the queen mother.
Zhongzhou ushered in a new era.
A roller coaster landed on the square of Tianyun City, and Tan Yubing got off the car.
"This is Elder Tan of Jiuyao Palace? Fortunately, I will be happy to meet." Someone immediately greeted him, smiling and saluting, "Xiaguan Lin Zixin, here is here to welcome you."
Tan Yubing was surprised. She had been to Zhongzhou and knew who Lin Zixin was. After Ding Qingqing's rebellion, he was reused. Now he ranks among the top three in the Zhongzhou court and can be called the Foreign Minister.
With such an identity, it is enough to welcome the material realm, not to mention that she is an ordinary trance who has nothing but the name of the elder, even if it is added to the Jiuyao Palace behind her, it does not have this weight.
Tan Yubing thought about it for a moment and knew why this face came.
In the Yinshan incident a few months ago, the Qizhen View suffered heavy losses, and the alliance is imperative. This is to draw the Jiuyao Palace closer and form a stronger partnership.
The secret method that affects the ancient Xia pattern is in the hands of the two factions. If they advance and retreat together, they will have fewer worries.
Years ago Yuwenshi returned to the mountain, Tan Yubing was here for him this time, knowing the key, he was calm at the moment, and smiled in return: "It turned out to be Lord Lin, long up."
Lin Zixin escorted her all the way to the post, and all aspects were settled before leaving.
Before leaving, she said: "The Queen Mother is very interested in the customs of Xichuan. I heard that Elder Tan is coming, and she should send someone to invite him later. Elder Tan should make preparations a little bit."
"Thank you, Master Lin, for letting me know." Tan Yubing politely sent Lin Zixin away.
Of course, the Queen Mother is not interested in the customs of Xichuan. Tan Yubing can probably guess what to talk about. She arranged for the disciples step by step, and after a little preparation, people came from the palace.
She followed the maid into the palace.
The princess who has become the Queen Mother, moved out of Zichen Palace and moved to Lotus Palace. Surrounded by running water, the green jade pond, even if the spring letter is not here, the pink lotus is still blooming.
Tan Yubing thought silently, this is clearly a hot spring palace, and it seems that the rumors are true. The queen mother moved here to recuperate.
Unexpectedly, when she saw the queen mother, she found that her complexion was not bad. It's just that compared to the Qilin Club a few years ago, that graceful and noble princess had a very different temperament in front of her.
The face that was originally so beautiful has softened, and it has a calm and kindness that has gone through the wind and frost and looked down on the world.
Tan Yubing was about to salute, she already smiled and said: "Don't be so polite, come, sit down and chat freely."
"...Yes."
Before she came, the queen mother was sitting at the small stone table by the pool, peeling the lotus with the maid, and after asking her to sit down, she continued to peel it, just as if she was looking for someone to chat with an ordinary old lady—though she She looks nothing like an old lady.
I asked some questions about the road first, and Tan Yubing answered them one by one.
The snow-white lotus seeds are peeled out, rounded, and placed in celadon, pleasing to the eye.
The queen mother smiled and said: "This year is really deserted, and there is no such thing as a new year. What about your Jiuyao Palace?"
Tan Yubing's heart shuddered, and he heard what the Queen Mother said. She considered it a little, and replied: "Years like this, it's not special. It's just that Bixi Valley is a bit deserted. There is only one disciple under Brother Liu, and Nephew Lu is not there, so I don't have any thoughts to celebrate."
The queen mother nodded: "They have a deep mentorship, and it is inevitable."
Tan Yubing said again: "Senior Brother Liu is not worried. He said that if something happened, Nephew Lu would have returned. Since he hasn't returned, it means that there is nothing wrong."
The queen mother laughed and gave her a gentle look: "You girls in the Jiuyao Palace are all Turin and smart."
Tan Yubing pursed his lips and said with a smile: "How can I compare to Master Lu. My first teacher often said that being smart is the next thing, and courage is more valuable. My senior sister and I are only mediocre in talent, and more decisive. It’s a lot worse. If you want to achieve something, you need an opportunity to fulfill it. In the past, I was always dissatisfied. I only found out when I met with Master Lu. It’s true."
Listening to her words, the Queen Mother felt very positive: "It is true. But, Miss Tan, you are not a vulgar person if you can say this."
Tan Yubing just laughed.
The queen mother went on to peel the lotus seeds: "Xing'er was extremely smart since he was a child, but I used to worry about him. Too smart, it is inevitable to think too much, this child is too heavy-minded to hold it, which is not a good thing. "
Tan Yubing couldn't get in with this, so he sat and listened obediently.
The queen mother continued: "Back then, Xing'er's father died, and I remarried to the king. Many people believed that I wanted revenge. In fact, this is only half of the truth."
"At that time, it was true to want revenge. His father couldn't even find the bones. How can I not hate it in my heart? However, as time goes by, I slowly want to open it. The past should be let it In the past, I have to walk out of the hatred and start again."
Tan Yubing couldn't help but said: "The Queen Mother is really a person of great wisdom."
The queen mother smiled faintly: "What kind of wisdom is forced by the current situation." She paused and said, "However, if there is Miss Lu, I am relieved. Others always say that Miss Lu is too temperamental. Hard, sooner or later, I’m going to stumble, but I think these people are blind. What she insists on is a matter of principle, but other things are extremely open-minded. If Xing'er can learn her calmness, she won’t need it for the rest of her life. I'm worried anymore."
Tan Yubing listened to these words silently. Is the Queen Mother trying to inform Brother Liu through her? The Yinshan matter has long been spread in Xuanmen. The two disappeared without a trace, and some words were unpleasant. This is a promise to Senior Brother Liu, hoping that he will not blame Young Master Lianzhen?
Oh, no, he is no longer Lian Zhen Xingjun now. The title of Lord Lian Zhen is not easy to mention later.
Over there, the Queen Mother peeled off the lotus seeds and handed them to the female officer.
The female official said: "Queen Dowager~IndoMTL.com~This lotus heart hasn't been peeled yet!"
The queen mother smiled and said: "The lotus seed is the core, don't think it is bitter, so be it."
Tan Yubing took a look. Lianzi is bitter, and pity is bitter. I don't know if Xie Xingchen can understand this heart of beloved son.
At this moment, a court lady rushed from outside the temple, shouting as she walked: "Queen dowager, queen dowager!"
The female officer stood out and stopped to drink: "Speak well, what kind of style does this look like?"
The little palace lady ran sweating profusely, and she was too late to plead her. She offered something with her hands: "I'm sorry, my maidservant is too anxious. I brought this thing from outside, please present it to the queen mother quickly."
When the female officer saw the thing, her expression changed, and she hurriedly took it over: "Queen Dowager."
Tan Yubing was surprised when he saw it.
This is a seven-star jade pendant with a complicated style and a faint breath of freshness.
She has never seen it, but she has heard the rumors. This is the treasure of the suzerain of the Qizhen View!
