Longevity begins with a negative heart

Chapter 39 Literary Young Prince Dusu
Amidst the melodious and misty fairy music, a glittering golden four-dragon chariot slowly landed in the middle of the square.

Divine Lord Ciheng ran forward in small steps, opened the car door himself, bent down and saluted: "Welcome to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

A pair of snow-white delicate cloud shoes slowly stepped out of the car door, and a soft and white robe like clouds rolled down.

The prince, Du Su, was impeccably dressed in white, elegant and gentle, with a hint of sadness in his gentle smile.

He raised his hand to support the Lord Ciheng and said with a smile: "The master of the palace is old and has great achievements, so there is no need to be like this. It should be me who salutes you and the thousands of people in the Ruyi Palace to express my gratitude. You have worked hard!"

Divine Monarch Ciheng was deeply moved and squeezed out a few tears: "It is our honor to be able to contribute to the living beings in the three realms! It is hard work, but it is hard work for Your Majesty to take care of everything every day! His Highness assists the government, and he has endless worries..."

Dusu listened with good temper, looked at Lingze with a smile, and said sentimentally: "The last time Shenjun came out of seclusion, I went out and never met you. In the blink of an eye, 600 years have passed... As we look at it, Shenjun seems to be even more melancholy and lighthearted. Lost some weight?"

Lingze's face was expressionless: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Everything is fine with me."

Dusu didn't care about his coldness, turned around and said, "Li Zhu, come here."

A beautiful lady wearing a yellow palace dress walked over demurely, put her palms on her sides, bent her knees slightly, and saluted gracefully: "Li Zhu has met all the gods and immortal kings."

Lord Ciheng looked at her lovingly: "We haven't seen you for a few years, but your demeanor is even better than before. You have a noble status and are the daughter of a family. Coming to a dangerous place like Ruyi Palace, you will have a hard time in the future."

Xuan Lizhu said with a smile: "You are the ones who have really worked hard. Lizhu is new here, so I won't bother you all in the future..."

Dusu interrupted her: "We'll talk about the gossip later. We can't keep these thousands of monks waiting."

"Your Highness is right." Li Zhu responded gently, standing cautiously two steps away from him, lowering his head, and followed him forward unhurriedly, looking very elegant and harmless.

Yuelongsha and Shuhua bit their ears: "Don't be fooled by her like this. These goddesses in Xianting are the best at pretending. They are noble on the surface, but vicious on the inside..."

As the biggest contributors to this operation, the three-person team naturally stood at the forefront of the team, and Du Su saw them at a glance.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled very warmly: "Is this the team that made great achievements?"

Yunlu quickly led Shuhua and Yuelongsha to salute: "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Please get up quickly, you are very good." Dusu looked at the three of them up and down with a smile, then looked at Shuhua: "Are you Shuhua?"

"Yes." Shuhua wasn't that afraid of him.

She inquired about it and found out that Prince Dusu was gentle, elegant, considerate, and not the kind of person with a small belly.

The most important thing is that he and Xuan Lizhu have been engaged for nearly a thousand years. They are both adult immortals, but they have never held a wedding.

Although what is said to the outside world is that His Highness the Crown Prince is worried about the common people and has vowed not to get married if there is injustice in the three realms.

But there were rumors in private that the prince was actually very dissatisfied with the marriage and had been refusing to consummate the marriage, which was why it had been delayed until now.

It is true that Xuan Lizhu has won the trust of the Immortal Emperor, but it was also because of the embarrassing situation that she had to choose to serve on the front line in order to find a foothold.

If this is true, Xuan You's death will not arouse the prince's resentment.

As expected, Dusu didn't embarrass Shuhua. After praising her seriously, he encouraged Yunlu and Yuelongsha to leave.

The commendation meeting was a success, and all the monks who participated received the commendations they deserved.

Shuhua and Yuelongsha were directly promoted to deputy purge envoys and lived in double rooms for free.Shuhua was very satisfied with this.

After the commendation, Dusu announced that Xuan Lizhu would take over as the head of the Shanbao Department, and asked the immortal officials to bring some spiritual wine and dishes for a banquet.

"By His Majesty's decree, this banquet is held. It is both a celebration and a reward. I would like to bid farewell to my predecessor, and I wish the new one good luck in his official duties and many military exploits! Let's all have fun! Enough wine and spirit. Take charge!”

The monks stamped their feet and cheered, diving into the delicious food.

The food given by the Immortal Court came from the major spiritual mountains in the Shangqing Realm. It was full of spiritual energy and very nourishing to eat. Without saying a word, Shuhua followed the Taotie army to attack.

"Fortunately, the food looks not ugly, otherwise it would be really embarrassing!" Yuelongsha and Yunlu said in disgust while piling delicious food in front of her.

An immortal official came over and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has invited three people to go to the main hall for a banquet."

The three of them looked at each other and stood up seriously to straighten their clothes.

As Yunlu walked, he told Shuhua and Yuelongsha: "Try to leave a good impression in front of His Highness the Crown Prince. Maybe he will make a plan for you two as soon as he is happy."

Shuhua and Yuelongsha looked at each other and felt that the captain was too naive.

Even if exceptions can be made, it is not because they performed well in front of Dusu, but because they have made immortal contributions.

Yunlu noticed their little looks and said angrily: "Even if you don't get the establishment, leaving a bad impression will not be conducive to promotion, right?"

"That's right." Yuelongsha reassured him: "What the captain said is right."

Yunlu was amused: "Don't come here!"

In the main hall, Dusu occupied the front seat, and the senior officials of Ruyi Palace were lined up on the left and right. Xuanlizhu only sat at the last seat, the farthest away from Dusu.

The seats for the three of them were set up directly opposite Dusu. After Shuhua took her seat, she found that whether intentionally or unintentionally, she was sitting right next to Xuan Lizhu.

Xuan Lizhu did not act like she was bitter and resentful, and took the initiative to propose a toast to her: "Congratulations to fellow Taoist Shuhua for your great achievements, I'll toast you with a toast."

Shu Hua had already eaten and was very free to come and go: "Thank you very much. Congratulations to Mr. Xuan on assuming your new position. I wish you good luck in your official duties."

The two of them drank the spirit wine from their glasses while laughing and chatting, and then had a brief but friendly exchange in a low voice about the seascape around Ruyi Palace.

Suddenly I heard Lord Ciheng say: "Today we have three blessings. One is that His Majesty has given us a banquet to reward everyone in the palace. The other is that His Highness the Prince is here. The third is that His Highness Xuan has been appointed. Please compose a poem by His Majesty the Crown Prince as a commemoration."

Du Su's eyes suddenly lit up. He stretched out his sleeves, his jade pen flew wildly, and he composed a long poem.

Shu Hua was a little surprised. Among the immortal cultivators, few were fond of literature and poetry. Moreover, when serving in the Immortal Court, the most important thing was cultivation, not literary talent.

And she heard that the Prince of Immortal Court was actually a sword cultivator.

Xuan Lizhu explained softly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been fond of poetry and poetry. Over the years, he has visited famous people in the three realms in order to write famous works that will be passed down through the ages."

"His Royal Highness is so elegant and studious!" Shu Hua realized that he was a literature lover, and the master of the palace was following his liking.

The Prince of Xianting, any kind of good gentleman you can't get, must have profound skills, and she is full of expectations.
