Chapter 97 The First Year of Zhaohua
In the first year of Weihe, it was night on the third day of the Lunar New Year.

In the city that never sleeps in the Zhaoge Imperial City, a unique palace banquet was held tonight, and it was extremely grand.

In order to congratulate Empress Chao Tianchen and Princess Fu Jingci for being ranked among the only immortals and becoming the number one sword in the Southern Dynasties, the "Thousand-year-old Sword Immortal", Emperor Wei has been radiant and reborn in the past three months.

Emperor Tianchen not only officially changed this year's dynasty era name three months ago, changing the Tianchen era name from "Weihe 13th year" to "Zhaohua first year";
What is even more exaggerated is that in the past three months, the Tianchen Dynasty had proclaimed and granted amnesty to the world. Thousands of temples in the 48 counties of the Southern Dynasties lit six thousand lanterns to pray for the princess;

Not only that, the people spontaneously rushed to tell each other, spreading the word from one to ten, and congratulated Her Royal Highness Princess Tianchen for breaking through the realm of immortality and becoming the first great master of the realm of immortality with a sword in the Southern Dynasty.

To use the words of the mean guy from Nanxu, every living creature in the Southern Dynasty this year probably knows that Wei Emperor Fu Shang has given birth to a sword fairy daughter.

——Not to mention living creatures, I am afraid that even the dead ghosts who happened to pass by the Southern Dynasty would have their ears raised and told one by one that no "person" was spared.

Regarding this comment, the Goddess could only hold her nose and admit it.

What can she do?After all, what Wei Di did was only good for her, not bad.

She originally hoped that her reputation as the heir to the Tianchen Emperor would be gradually diluted, but now her father wanted to beat the gongs and drums to publicize her becoming a "Sword Immortal" to the world. This result would do more good than harm to her.

Of course, she actually felt a little embarrassed by being so impressive!
It is understandable that the emperor wanted to use this to enhance the country's prestige, but it is really unnecessary to waste people and money in such a way.

But then I looked back at the lanterns and colorful decorations among the people, the bright eyes of the people, the joy and glory in their hearts, and Fu Jingci was speechless again.

Come on, since it is a matter of mutual consent between the king and the people, why should she throw cold water on it?
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Zhaoge Imperial City is just like its name, "the city that never sleeps". Kongming lanterns fill the sky and illuminate the city as if it is noisy during the day. Zhaoge truly becomes a city that never sleeps on this night.

Presumably more than a hundred miles away, on top of the towering tower of Shentai Palace, Nanxu saw the bright lights here and wanted to say something mean to her again.

She could even imagine what he would say with her eyes closed, but it was nothing more than——

"Hey, such a big pomp? I didn't expect it! I think you might as well go back to Zhaoge and become a noble princess. If the destiny prophecy comes true, you might even be able to become an empress.

If it's not good enough, while you are still young, you can catch up on the rules and etiquette of the noble family, and maybe you will be saved in two years. You can choose a handsome little prince-in-law from a noble family with profound background. "

Fu Jingci curled his lips, but the corners of his lips turned upward.It was a knowing smile that only appeared when she talked about people close to her.

She tilted her head thoughtfully and asked:
"What do you think Nanxu is doing right now? He is really boring. I invited him to come to the Nightless City to celebrate the New Year, but he still wants to ask Qiao to refuse!"

She didn't know what she was thinking of, and slammed her right fist into the palm of her left hand with a loud "pop" sound. She cried blood and angrily condemned the high priest of Shentai Palace, who was hundreds of miles away.

"——You didn't see it! I was telling him about the prosperity of Zhaoge at that time, but what happened?
He looked at me as if he were a mentally retarded person, and he didn't forget to mock me, "How old are you?"Could it be that he is still a three-year-old kid who wants to go to the Lantern Festival to watch the lantern show?
Listen, are these what he said as human beings say it? ! "

The corner of Lu Shangque's lips raised slightly, as if he was thinking of the expression of the Nanxu priest when he said this, so he looked like he was about to smile.

However, the 11-year-old boy who was beside Fu Jingci and also wearing the divine robe of the Shentai Palace paused slightly when he heard this, looking quite in a dilemma.

"Goddess, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, you have to pray to the sky for blessings. The high priest has to make preparations for the sacrifices and blessings before that. In fact, even you should not leave the Shentai Palace.

The high priest has said it before, you are now like a piece of porcelain that has been stained by the water vapor from the south of the Yangtze River before it has been fired. It looks intact on the surface, but in fact it is not solid inside. "The little boy didn't know how to read people's faces. He completely ignored the unhappy expression on his goddess's face and continued to add with a serious face:

"The high priest also said that it would be like if someone suddenly reached out and flicked the porcelain with a finger, the seemingly flawless porcelain would probably fall to pieces——"

"Oh my little ancestor!"

Fu Jingci put his arms around the child's shoulders with a miserable look on his face, successfully blocking his subsequent thoughts.

"——'The high priest said','the high priest also said', you must have been brainwashed by Nanxu, right?
You used to be such a smart kid, but now that we haven't seen you for a few years, you have been brought up by Nanxu to be such a little old-fashioned person.

My miserable little Hui... It's all my fault. Why didn't I take you with me when I went out to travel and practice swordsmanship? "

Fu Jingci looked regretful: Look!It seems that this child did not escape the "fate" of many Taoist boys and outer disciples in Shentai Palace in the end, and evolved into a high priest's brainless boast.

Cheng Hui had a handsome little face and couldn't help but laugh in his heart, but he still managed to maintain the dignity of a young monk.

He thought of something, looked at the goddess with a little doubt, and said:

"But the high priest said that if Cheng Hui practiced with the goddess back then, I am afraid that the sapling would have been raised crookedly. The more it grew, the harder it would be to straighten it. In the future, it would be as helpless as the goddess - ah, it was Cheng Hui who made a mistake."

Damn it, why did he just say it directly?
The high priest said that the Goddess was lawless, which was a joke between fellow disciples. He was just a junior disciple in the inner sect. It was really disrespectful to the Goddess to relay such arrogant and disrespectful remarks.

The little boy lowered his head in panic, and quietly glanced up from the end of his eyes, secretly observing the expression of the goddess, as if he was afraid of upsetting the goddess.

However, it seems that his goddess doesn't care about these red tapes.

Her crystal clear fox eyes widened, her chin was raised high, and she immediately asserted:
"——Listen to his fart!"

With no outsiders around, the goddess didn't need to worry about her image at all, and openly expressed her disdain for the priest's "good advice."

"He has grown up with me since he was a child. Is it possible that he is also crooked?"

Cheng Hui was slightly startled, and felt a little stuck for a moment. He seemed to be convinced by the goddess's heresy again.

Fu Jingci saw Lu Shangque, who was as calm and decent as a shadow behind him, so as if he had found a second life-saving straw, he pulled him over, pointed at the smiling swordsman at the corner of his lips, gave examples, and taught by words and deeds:

"Now, and your brother Lu, look at it, your brother Lu also grew up with me since he was a child. He has been inseparable for many years. Has he also grown crooked? Isn't he a good-looking talent?
Don’t you know, he is now the dream lover of many famous ladies in Zhaoge City!Just this time when we came back to celebrate the New Year, there were countless girls who asked their brothers at home to give him brocade handkerchiefs! "

Lu Shangque's always upright and handsome face suddenly became famous.

"--your Highness!"

Why is she here again!
