Chapter 644: Two Old Men
In the Lingbo Hall of the White Emperor Palace, led by Yu Zhan wearing snow beast skin jackets, a group of people from the Twisted Waist Prefecture waited quietly, although each of these little guys was wearing brand new snow beast jackets, their faces were still a little restrained, and they looked at the huge palace in front of them without squinting.
After a while, a middle-aged palace maid walked out of the inner hall and said with a smile:
"The Empress Dowager's clansmen, the mother just woke up from the lunch break, and she will come immediately, and wait a while. ”
As the middle-aged palace maid spoke, she raised her hand and waved it forward, and suddenly a rich fire attribute fluctuated in the hall and boiled, and a flame lotus bloomed out of thin air in the void, and then under a pair of amazed eyes, the fire lotus shot out streamers in all directions, lighting up the red candles around the hall one after another.
In the next breath, the entire outer hall of Lingbo was suddenly completely filled with light, as if it were day.
Then the middle-aged palace maid walked back to the hall, supported an old lady in palace clothes and slowly walked into the outer hall, and the next moment, the Xiuyu clan people who listened to Xuezhen outside the hall knelt down at the same time, bowed to the ground, and the uniform greetings resounded in the hall:
"Welcome to the old ancestor, the old ancestor Chitose Chitose Chitose!"
The old queen mother wore a very grand dress today, but she used a veil to cover her entire face, so that her entire black eyes like ink would not be seen, and then a happy voice came out:
"Okay, okay, just wait for you to come, get up quickly, the old ancestor Ming'er will send someone to take you to take a good look at Shenjing City, the city has been lively these days, and I guarantee that your trip is worthwhile." ”
"Thank you, Ancestor!"
Everyone got up, and the young men all looked at the old lady in front of them with curious eyes, and then they heard the old lady's loving voice continue to ring in their ears:
"In the evening, Yu'er will hold a banquet in the Mingde Palace, and you will all go, and it is not too early now, Yufry, you take them over first." ”
After the old lady finished speaking, the little girl nodded heavily, but the middle-aged palace maid who had been supporting the old man put her head to the ear of the former and spoke softly, the old lady suddenly realized, and hurriedly continued to speak:
"Look at my memory, I almost forgot that this year is approaching, and money is indispensable. ”
When the words fell, the middle-aged palace maid clapped her hands gently, and suddenly the three palace maids stepped in from the outside, all holding a red brocade plate in their hands, and the plate was stacked with red brocade bags that had been tied, and then distributed to the hands of the Xiuyu clan in turn.
After half a pillar of incense, the banquet of the Mingde Hall was about to begin, so after a little greeting, there were guards who took the Xiuyu clan out of the Lingbo Hall and walked towards the first half of the White Emperor Palace, and then in the entire hall, only the old lady who kept coughing was left.
The middle-aged palace maid gently patted the old man's back to help him smooth his breath, and then the voice of inquiry sounded:
"Niangniang, at the banquet in the Mingde Hall in the evening, His Majesty sent someone to say that your body is the most important thing, why don't we go back to the inner hall to rest for a while, and show our faces at that time?"
"You don't have to worry about it!"
The old queen mother took a deep breath, slowly suppressed her cough, and then continued to speak:
"Let's go now, the old body knows, this is the last time I will meet these ministers, some of them have dedicated their lives to Great Xia, and the old body will accompany them to have a good meal, every royal private banquet in the past, the old body is present, and today can be regarded as a good beginning and a good end!"
After finishing speaking, the old queen mother raised her hand and straightened the luxurious phoenix robe on her body, and took the lead in raising her feet, and on the avenue outside the Lingbo Palace, the carriage with the tail of the blue wave whale had already stopped, and next to the carriage, there was a burly old man wearing a purple robe.
Then the middle-aged palace maid helped the old lady to approach the carriage, and when she saw Xu Sheng, the Duke of Wei standing with her hands in her hands, she just wanted to say goodbye, but the latter directly raised her hand to stop her, and then Master Xu reached out to take the old lady and continued to walk towards the carriage.
At the moment when Old Man Xu's calloused hands were supporting the old lady, the voice belonging to the old lady sounded directly:
"Xu Sheng, you guy, when did you return to Shenjing City from Jade Dragon Pass?"
"Sister Yan, it's not easy to hide it from you!"
Old Man Xu smiled lightly, and then carefully helped the old lady into the carriage, blocking all the cold wind whistling around, the temperature in the carriage was suitable, Wei Guogong sat opposite the old lady, and continued to speak:
"Not long after I came back, after meeting Your Majesty, I came to you non-stop, Sister Yan!"
"Then you have a little conscience!"
After the old empress dowager masked the light veil, a smile was revealed, and a joking voice came out, and then Wei Guogong looked in front of him, who had not seen her for half a year, but was countless times older than the empress dowager of Great Xia, her tiger eyes flickered, and she was speechless for a long time, and finally her mouth opened slightly, and her rough voice was a little hoarse:
"Sister Yan, the younger brother is not here to persuade you, it's just that this catastrophe of the five decays of heaven and man, such as the soul in the air, watching his body gradually be deprived of its functions, and becoming more and more painful day by day, so why not enter the lock coffin, whether it is for yourself or for Your Majesty, it is the best result. ”
After Old Man Xu finished speaking, the old queen mother opposite him gently leaned her body against the wall of the carriage behind her, sighed, and responded:
"Xu Sheng, others may not understand, you should know the reason for the old body's choice. ”
After finishing speaking, the old lady stretched out her hand, supported her body, and refused Xu Sheng to step forward to help, and the old and weak voice continued to sound in the carriage:
"I'm Xiuyu clan, although Zhong Tiandi loves it, but all things have their own creation, and the cultivation talent within the clan is not top-notch, although I practice hard, but I also know that I have no hope of entering the legendary realm, so I have been prepared for this day.
"And Xu Sheng, I have lived longer than everyone else, you look at those Tianjiao of the same generation, except for Taizu Shengshang and Huang Zhao, who have long been lying in Suo Yuan's coffin, they are all dead!"
Speaking of this, the old queen mother paused, then increased the volume, and the voice that spoke was like thunder in the entire carriage:
"They're all dead!"
The old queen mother's loud words seemed to be constantly surrounding in this noble carriage, and then Xu Sheng, the Duke of Wei, fell into silence, the old queen mother has said very clearly, except for transcendence and sanctification, no one can escape the cycle of birth, old age, sickness and death.
Since ancient times, beauties have been like famous generals, and they are not allowed to see white heads in the world.
With a thin face, as the first beauty in the vast land of Shenzhou in the past, she can live to let the Great Dao end her life with the five decays of heaven and man, the old queen mother is proud enough, and she does live a long time.
"And Xu Sheng, you know that the old body has been waiting all his life, I am afraid of the dark, there is no light in the coffin of Suoyuan, and the palace is unwilling to go!"
People cannot choose their birth, but they can choose how to die.
