Outside the Xianluo Gate of Shangyang Palace, there is already a sea of people. When the common people heard that monsters would be publicly executed today, they scrambled to pass on the chanting, dragging their families along, crowding in front of the palace gate.
Under the city gate, there were many spectators. The emperor led his officials to stand on the city tower. The canopy on the right side of the city gate was like a cloud, covered by barriers. Afterwards, many women with high buns and crescent eyebrows in gorgeous costumes could be vaguely seen.
Pei Chuyue followed her family into the palace today, and the Pei family was a frequent visitor to the palace. As soon as Pei Chuyue entered Shangyang Palace, she ran to Li Changle's side, chatting with Li Changle lively. Now, Pei Chuyue covered her face with a round fan, and whispered to Li Changle: "Princess, what are you going to do?"
Li Changle quickly glanced at the Queen of Heaven at the front, lowered her voice, and quietly replied: "I heard that this is going to be a pawn? Everyone kills monsters, so as to scare others."
Pei Chuyue frowned, and covered her nose with a fan in disgust: "It's disgusting. That strange bird was caught at our house, and now the courtyard wall has not been repaired, and my mother won't even let me get close. Who wants to see it? How did the strange bird die? Killed it in the prison? It’s okay? Why? To be dragged out?”
Li Changle shook his head and said: "Who knows. Some people say that this can strengthen the country's prestige, so my father agrees? If you want me to say, holding a hunting event is more prestigious? And you can go out of the palace to play, isn't it better than these fights? Alas, I don't know how long it will take, the sun is so hot that my face is blushing."
When Pei Chuyue heard this, she covered Li Changle with a round fan, and said with a smile, "How could you be tanned even if you are a princess? She is also the most beautiful woman in Luoyang. You will become her in the future? My sister-in-law, you have to teach me more Beauty secrets!"
When Li Changle heard that her cheeks were slightly red, she got angry? Pei Chuyue glanced at her, and stretched out her hand to scratch Pei Chuyue's itch: "Let you make fun of me!"
Pei Chuyue didn't feel itchy, and quickly avoided it, and the two of them laughed and quarreled. The wives around were accidentally bumped into. They were unhappy at first, but when they saw Princess Guangning and the youngest daughter of the Pei family, they immediately changed their smiles and said tolerantly, "You guys can really make trouble."
Li Changle and Pei Chuyue were arguing, when the female officer next to Tianhou came over, gave Li Changle a salute, and said, "Princess, the ceremony is about to start? Please be quiet."
Li Changle glanced forward, seeing her mother's temples swaying slightly, she withdrew her hand resentfully, and said, "I see?"
After Li Changle was beaten by Tianhou, he had nothing to do, and suddenly felt very boring. At this time, there was movement from below, Li Changle looked down, and saw a scarlet figure appearing in the square from afar. The two habayashi troops pulled the rope together and pulled a huge and weird bird into a bow shape. The rakshasa bird couldn't bear the humiliation, and it screamed like blood.
The raksha bird's voice was sharp and hoarse, like a monster reporting funerals in a cemetery, it was creepy to hear. The emperor and his courtiers are alright, but many people here are pale with fright. They avoided their eyes and backed away from the railing, not wanting to see the situation below. These ladies are used to being pampered and pampered, they can't even see the blood of killing chickens, so what about monsters? They frowned and whispered, looking? They looked very uncomfortable.
Pei Chuyue's face turned pale, and the maid of Pei's family hurriedly covered Pei Chuyue's eyes with a fan, for fear that these dirty things would stain Miss?'s eyes. Li Changle was also surrounded by palace people. She didn't dare to look at it, but for some reason, Li Changle couldn't help but look down the tower through the gap. In the huge open space between the two gates of Xianluo Gate, the woman in red slowly drew her bow and pointed it at the monster.
The Raksha bird probably knew that he was going to die, and fought back frantically, screaming one after another. The Rakshasa bird suddenly struggled violently, and flew upwards with all its strength, trying to break free from the shackles of the rope. The Habayashi army who was controlling the rope was driven away by this force, and rushed forward uncontrollably, and many people lost control and fell to the ground. The commander of the Habayashi Army yelled "suppress" and "suppress" loudly, but it had little effect. The tall Habayashi Army kept slipping on the ground and seemed to be out of control.
There was a commotion from the top and bottom of the city tower, and many guards surrounded the emperor with a clatter, and screams came from the female family members. The people under the city gate continued to commotion, and the cries of children came from several directions. Pei Chuyue cried out, and grabbed Li Changle's hand with all her strength, and the palace ladies and maids were also busy protecting Li Changle: "Princess, be careful!"
In the panic, there was a faint sound of an arrow piercing through the air. Li Changle turned around in the chaos, and saw an arrow piercing the Raksha bird's chest with a puff of white wind. The rakshasa bird fell down suddenly, screaming mournfully, convulsing uncontrollably on the ground, it looked terribly frightening. Li Chaoge nocked another arrow, and lightly shot the Raksha bird in the head. The Raksha bird's head was pierced by an arrow, and it didn't move very quickly.
Everyone's panic has not dissipated, and they saw the huge corpse of the strange bird lying on the ground, and the gray-black feathers were clotted with blood and mud, which looked extremely ominous. The arrow inserted into the Rakshasa bird's body slowly ignited, and the bright flame spread along the feathers, covering the Rakshasa bird's whole body in an instant. The flames crackled, and bursts of black and dead energy escaped from the Rakshasa bird, but none of them could escape the powerful fire. The black air was entangled by the raging fire, and soon disappeared.
Before everyone could react, what happened? The corpse on the ground disappeared, replaced by the smell of scorching fire. In ancient times, human beings relied on flames to protect themselves. Until now, people have worshiped and trusted fire in their instincts. That rakshasa bird was so ferocious and terrifying, but it couldn't even survive a cup of tea under Li Chaoge's raging fire.
Under the city tower? There was a moment of silence, and suddenly there was a huge cheer, and the people shouted and shouted, faintly mixed with long live. More and more people shouted long live, and finally merged into layers of earth-shattering voices: "God bless the Tang Dynasty, long live the saint."
And the main messenger of all this, Li Chaoge, just put the bow and arrow on the tray, straightened his sleeves, and walked towards the city gate leisurely. It seemed that to her, all this just happened smoothly, even a little boring. The people behind him were crazy and crazy, but Li Chaoge never even looked back.
Li Chaoge didn't take it seriously, and went up to the gate tower. The Queen of Heaven had already brought the female family over. When Li Chaoge saw the emperor and the Queen of Heaven, he bent down and saluted: "See Saint, Queen of Heaven."
The Queen of Heaven smiled all over her face, and even the emperor's brows stretched out, showing a long-lost carefree look. These days the emperor is plagued by headaches, hasn't he laughed like this for a long time
"Okay, okay, okay." The emperor said three good words in a row, and he was a little incoherent when he was happy, and asked, "Chaoge, you did a great job? This time the monster catching is all due to you, do you think so?" What do you want? A reward?"
In front of so many people, Li Chaoge naturally wanted to be meaningful, and said modestly: "Subduing demons and demons, and defending the country are the duties of every citizen of the Tang Dynasty. It is my honor to share the worries of saints and empresses." , no reward is required."
The emperor laughed heartily, and said to the courtiers and prime ministers around him: "It's my luck to have a daughter like this. It's a blessing to Tang Dynasty to have a princess like this."
Pei Xiang and the other prime ministers laughed together, followed by a word or two of praise. The emperor was very interested, he had thought about it a long time ago? Reward, waved his hand, and said: "Chaoge has just returned to Beijing, and many things have not been prepared yet. The house in Chengfufang will be given to you as the princess mansion." .”
Past life? Her princess mansion is also here, but it's just a few years later than now. Li Chaoge was not surprised, bowed his head and saluted, "Thank you saint."
The emperor was rewarding meritorious deeds in the front, and there was a little restlessness among the female relatives in the rear. Pei Chuyue frowned, couldn't help turning her head and said to Li Changle: "But, this is obviously for you..."
When Mrs. Pei heard Pei Chuyue's words, she immediately glared at Pei Chuyue and signaled her not to speak. Pei Chuyue was reluctant to shut up, Li Changle smiled? Laughed, and said in a low voice: "It's okay, it's all from my family, it's the same for everyone."
Li Chaoge was not in the capital, so naturally no one in the palace prepared her things. On the contrary, Li Changle is the most favored little princess in the palace. Since she was ten years old, the Ministry of Industry has been building her princess mansion one after another. The mansion in Chengfufang occupies a vast area and costs a lot of money. It is complete with pavilions, pavilions, gardens and verandahs. Everyone agrees that this is Li Changle's future princess mansion.
Originally, the Queen of Heaven and the Emperor also planned in this way. It's just that now that Li Chaoge is back, the emperor wanted to keep the old and young in order, so he gave this princess mansion to Li Chaoge first, and then Li Changle's repairs will be done.
Many people present understood the original destination of the mansion. After the emperor finished speaking, although everyone on the field smiled, the atmosphere was a little stagnant. In the silence, the cheers from below the city tower were especially obvious. The emperor and the officials turned their heads and looked at the people downstairs together.
The demon-killing ceremony was over, but almost none of the people left. They all gathered under the city gate to feel the aftermath of the fire. Some people even collected the dirt on the ground and called out "a miracle from heaven".
The common people have never seen this kind of supernatural power. The Raksha bird caused panic some time ago, but now it is burned to death openly, which can be said to relieve hatred and excitement.
Tin Hau had never seen such a fanatical crowd. A few years ago, the palace had held grand celebrations, and even launched a huge Buddha lamp during the Lantern Festival, but never before had it received such a strong response.
That's right, no matter how realistically painted a Buddha statue is, how can it compare to the real "miracle" in the eyes
The Queen of Heaven moved her pupils, she looked at the emperor, and said with a smile: "Saint, Chaoge has reached the age of decline. After the mansion is bestowed, it is time to speed up the production of plaques for the Princess Mansion. I think the word 'An Ding' is too weak. There is a suspicion of staying safe. What's more, Chaoge used this title before he got lost, and now he has found it with great difficulty, so it should be changed to a more auspicious one?"
Li Chaoge had been calm and unhurried before, quite flattered and flattered. Hearing this, her pupils moved slightly, and she couldn't help but look up? To the Queen of Heaven.
Change title? This in previous life? Never had. What do you want to do
Not only Li Chaoge was surprised, but everyone else was also surprised. The emperor became interested and asked, "According to the Queen of Heaven, what should it be changed to?"
"When she was young, she got lost due to the chaos of monsters, but when she came back, she was able to kill the monsters with her own hands. With such a fate, she should get a louder title to calm down the monsters. And this year is the first year that Chaoge came back. How about Let’s call it Sheng Yuan.”
"Sheng Yuan." The emperor murmured these two words and stroked his palms. "What a good name. In comparison? Anding is indeed a bit petty. From now on, let's change it to this."
Princess Sheng Yuan... The faces of the prime ministers around the emperor remained unchanged. They looked at each other, and they all saw the answer in each other's eyes.
Shengyuan, prosperous age? In the first year, the Queen of Heaven spoke loudly.
Li Chaoge was stunned for a moment? The female officer next to her quietly pulled her sleeve, and Li Chaoge realized it, and hurriedly saluted: "Thank you saint, thank you queen."
Tianhou smiled kindly, pulled Li Chaoge up with her own hands, and said in a gentle voice, "Get up quickly. From now on, you must be safe and sound, so that you can live up to the saint's painstaking efforts for you."
Li Chaoge was dragged a little stiffly by the Queen of Heaven. The surrounding courtiers and wives came forward to congratulate with standard smiles: "Congratulations to Princess Sheng Yuan."
Li Chaoge nodded one by one to signal, she resisted the discomfort of being touched, slowly thinking in her mind, in her previous life? She also worked for Tianhou, but she never changed her title. Why? In this life?, the queen suddenly thought of changing her title
The heat under the city gate remained undiminished, and Li Chaoge suddenly became enlightened when he heard the cheers from below. She returned to Luoyang two years earlier than her previous life, and entered the court two years earlier than her previous life. In the previous life? When she came back, the Empress Dowager had already become the Empress Dowager. She held great power, coerced the emperor to make the princes, and her ambition to become emperor was no longer concealed. However, this time, the emperor Li Ze is still alive and well, and the Queen of Heaven is only a queen at present. Compared with the future generations, the mentality is naturally different.
Therefore, Tianhou changed her title not to praise Li Chaoge, but to create momentum for herself. Today's execution ceremony made Tianhou see the huge popular reputation behind the demon killing, so Tianhou moved her mind and wanted to use Li Chaoge to accumulate strength for herself to become emperor.
After all, only those who win the hearts of the people can win the world. Tianhou now has both the ruling power and the influence in the officialdom. What she lacks are manpower and a reason to change the government and stand on her own.
Datang has been established for 60 years, and it is far from easy to change the emperor.
After Li Chaoge figured it out, he developed a kind of intuition. She knew that from now on, the experience of the previous life was useless, because this time, she would walk on a completely different path.
A path that is more ostentatious, more enemy-making, but more seductive.
Pei Ji'an stood in the crowd, watching Li Chaoge who was surrounded by the crowd from a distance. The friends around him lowered their voices and said to Pei Ji'an: "The sage and the Empress dote on An Ding too much...Princess Sheng Yuan? It's a grant and a change of title, and the treatment has far surpassed that of Princess Guangning. Anyway, Guangning She is the daughter raised by their side, how could they be so partial?"
In the friend's words, Li Changle was quite injustice. When Li Chaoge came back, he was hunting and killing monsters. It was hard for them from the family to have a good impression of Li Chaoge, but Li Changle was something they had grown up with. No wonder he was so angry.
Pei Ji'an didn't answer, but said: "It's just a mansion, the saint and the Queen of Heaven can give it to whoever they want, anyway, Guangning will not lose."
My friend said "huh"? He turned to look at Pei Ji'an: "What's the matter with you? Why are you still helping her? Guangning is your fiancée. Your little wife was robbed of the princess mansion. You don't help her out." , and in turn give others a prestige?"
"Speak carefully." Pei Ji'an sank slightly, and said, "Princess Sheng Yuan is also a princess, so don't be presumptuous."
The friend was so angry that he fell backwards. He intended to remind Pei Ji'an, but in the end, Pei Ji'an taught him a lesson instead! The friend shook his sleeve angrily, and said, "Why have you become inexplicable recently? Anyway, I'm done talking? You don't care, I'm leaving."
The friend turned his head and left after speaking? Pei Ji'an knew that he should leave too. He took two steps and couldn't help turning his head. He saw Li Chaoge standing in the crowd, wearing a bright vermilion dress. Just like her people, no matter where he was, he was always the most colorful.
In Li Chaoge's previous life, he suffered a lot because of the evil spirits, and it was very thankless. She walked so hard on that road, Pei Ji'an thought that after she was reborn, she would not go on the old road again.
It was clearly a road that I knew from the very beginning that it would be difficult to end well. Is she already a princess? In this life? She will come back early, and she will have glory, wealth, parental affection, reputation and fame. Why on earth is she? To repeat the same old ways
Pei Ji'an couldn't figure it out, but he knew in his heart that this was Li Chaoge. Others don't turn back until they hit the south wall, but Li Chaoge won't turn back even if his head is bloodied. He hated everything about her, except for her courage.
She is always like this, as long as she has what she wants, no matter how many obstacles there are, they can't stop her. In his previous life? Pei Ji'an was also one of them, so he naturally understood how terrible her liking was.
Pei Ji'an suddenly felt an indescribable emotion. He is engaged to Li Changle, and Li Chaoge changed his title. Does this mean that his fate has changed in his previous life? Those entanglements that hurt both sides, those bloody struggles, will they also disappear
Pei Ji'an didn't know what to think. Reborn?, she is still ambitious, still ostentatious. She walked step by step towards the place she wanted to go, and there would be no more Pei Ji'an in that place
Pei Ji'an told himself that this is a good thing. But at the moment he left with his back to Li Chaoge, for some reason, he always felt uncomfortable.
