Xie Yi had personally tested him, thinking that this child could be made.Now that she saw it again, she assigned Wei Buyi to the group of re-nobles, sharing the same title with them. With Wei Xuan around, the revival of the Wei family can be expected.

This is also of great benefit to His Majesty, after all, although no one in the court mentions it now, the relationship between His Majesty and the Wei family is constantly being cut.

Xie Yi always thinks about Liu Zao.After sitting behind the desk for two hours, I was tired and was about to get up and move around when two maids came in from the outside, holding trays in their hands, one with a bamboo tube and the other with a saucer.

The bamboo tube has been roasted over the fire, and the green color has been removed from the roasting, and the appearance is yellow and black.

The maid put the tray on the table, Xie Yi walked over, and when the bamboo tube was opened, a fresh fragrance filled the nostrils.Only then did she realize that she was already hungry, so she sat down next to her, ordered the two of them to retreat, took a bowl and chopsticks, and did it herself.

The millet is roasted, the grains are plump and distinct, scoop a spoonful into the mouth, the aroma of millet is accompanied by the fragrance of bamboo, the pork is soft and delicious, and the shrimp is delicious and delicious, which makes people's index finger move.

Xie Yi ate half a bowl too much, and when she was waiting to put the chopsticks down, she saw the bamboo slices with the recipe written on it and sent them back.Her gaze rested on the bamboo piece for a moment, and she raised her hand to pick it up.

The words on the top are quite vigorous, and the majesty leaks from the beginning to the end, and you can tell it is His Majesty's handwriting at a glance.She must have specially copied a copy, carried it with her, and looked for an opportunity to give it to her.

Xie Yi couldn't help softening her complexion, and smiled lightly.

What a silly boy.

This bamboo tube rice is fresh food that she found from a Wuyue merchant when she heard that the old lady had no appetite more than a month ago. She didn't want to go through it, but today it was sent back to her like a treasure by His Majesty.

That night, Liu Zao also tossed and turned sleeplessly in the palace.

It is like a person who is used to bitter taste, and accidentally tastes the taste of sugar. The bitterness he was accustomed to can no longer be tolerated.She has been refraining from looking for Xie Xiang, but seeing her today, talking to her, seeing her smile, Liu Zao suddenly felt that the days of alienation from Xie Xiang were so difficult.

Xie Xiangfang left, and she was anxious to see her again.

Fortunately, Liu Zao has developed a habit, knowing that business is the top priority, no matter how much he misses in his heart, he knows not to delay the government affairs in his hands.

She tossed and turned on the bed, thinking that there would be a big morning tomorrow, so she forced herself to sleep.

Chapter 62

It was almost midsummer, and it was getting hotter. The sun rolled down like molten lava, the earth was scorching hot, the leaves curled up, and the stream water seemed to have been boiled in an urn.

Because the matter of Liehou's return to his family involved a lot, Liu Zao wanted to do it well, so he stayed in Chang'an City, never escaping the summer and sweet springs, so as to avoid the trouble of moving back and forth.

The scorching heat of this summer is also particularly difficult.

Liu Zao was thinking about the old lady, fearing that the old lady would be weak and overheated, so she sent people to visit her every day, which was a province.She herself is very hot in the palace, and it is good to have the government affairs in her hands, so she can always focus on the business.As soon as I am free, I feel unhappy, dislike the heat of the day, and feel that the palace is boring.

It was raining heavily that day, and it was cool. Liu Zao took advantage of the rain and went to Jianzhang Palace.

She has been to Oasis Palace twice and avoided the summer heat for two years.Although the carved walls are majestic and magnificent, it is deeply loved by Emperor Wu.But Liu Zao didn't like it very much, but the summer was really hot, so she wanted to find another place to escape the heat.

There is Taiye Pool in the north of Jianzhang Palace, and the place near the water can always be cooler. She wants to add a few palaces by the pool, so that they can be used as summer resorts in the future.

In fact, Jianzhang Palace is magnificent and grand in scale, known as thousands of households. There are countless palaces in the palace, and its magnificence is no less magnificent than that of Weiyang Changle.There is also a palace by the pool. In the past, when emperors, princes and ministers entered the palace, You Taiye often lived there.Liu Zao went to see it, and felt that it was a bit small, so he had to expand it to make it more comfortable.

The rain gradually lightened.

Liu Zao stepped on the green grass, the aroma of the soil, moist in the raindrops.She walked along the pool for a while, and the cloud shoes embroidered with gold thread stepped on the gravel road, making a slight sound of treading water, and the edges of the shoes were wet.

Taiye Pond stretches as far as the eye can see, and the end is filled with water mist. There are three fairy mountains on the pool, and fairy grasses are planted in each mountain, looming in the water vapor, really like a fairyland.Occasionally, flying cranes fly low over the pond, singing distantly, and their posture is elegant and elegant, as if they are not raised by the royal family, but the wandering wild cranes in the deep mountains.

Liu Zao stood by the pool with his hands behind his back, and Hu Ao stood behind her, holding an umbrella for her.She counted with her fingers in her heart. The last time she saw Xie Xiang was at Dachao thirteen days ago, and she summoned him once every thirteen days, so it shouldn't be very frequent.

"Go and call for your thanks," Liu Zao said.

Her edict was issued suddenly, Hu Ao was stunned for a moment, Fang came back to his senses, said his promise, and turned the umbrella to a young eunuch beside him, who was about to turn around and arrange for someone to go to the prime minister's house to call.

Liu Zao called him again, and said carefully: "Today, Xie Ying should stay at home for a rest. Go there yourself and tell me that I visited Taiye and saw the immortal energy, like poetry and picturesque. I want to build a palace by the pool." , and I don’t know where to start, so please come and discuss with Mr. Xie.”

Word by word, very detailed.

Hu Ao understood, saluted, and hurried away against the fine rain.

Liu Zao watched his back disappear into the rain, Fang turned his head to look at the pool, secretly counting the time in his heart.It's still early now, Hu Ao went to Xiang's mansion for an hour, and came back for an hour. When Xie Xiang arrived, it should be past noon.

It's not good to stand by the pool for two hours.Liu Zao looked around and saw a high platform near the pool in the distance.The height of the platform is close to the Jiuque. Looking up, you can see that there are palaces on the platform, with flying eaves and brackets, which is extraordinary.

Liu Zao asked, "Where is that?"

The little eunuch with the umbrella behind him looked up, laughed, and replied: "That is the platform of the gods. There is a bronze immortal on the platform. The immortal holds a plate in his hand. There is a jade cup in the plate, which can be used to receive fairy dew. That's why it's called the Chenglu Pan. Immortal dew is the luster from the sky, and taking it for a long time can prolong your life and make you immortal."

The little eunuch was articulate, and Liu Zao could tell right away that this platform was probably built by Emperor Wu in his later years, and the so-called fairy dew was only entrusted to the hero's old age and longing for longevity.

She became interested and said, "Go and have a look."

When the little eunuch heard this, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is going, Rong Chen summoned the palace chariot. It looks close there, but there is some way to walk."

Liu Zao had already stepped forward, and said casually, "It's okay."

The little eunuch hurriedly followed with an umbrella, fearing that His Majesty would catch the rain.

As he said, it looks close, but it is far away. Liu Zao walked for more than an hour before reaching the audience.From this we can also see the vastness of Taiye Pool and the grandeur of Jianzhang Palace.

Liu Zao stood under the stage, looked up, and thought, this stage may be fifty feet high, and it can even compare with the front hall of Weiyang Palace.Someone had already stepped forward and ordered to pick him up on the stage.

Liu Zao went up the stairs.The rain has stopped, and the air is moist and cool, a rare comfort in summer.Even so, when she walked onto the stage, she was sweating all over.

Ascending to the high platform, the field of vision suddenly widens.Dozens of alchemists and Wu Zhu stood one by one, the first one was Wu Zhu in sacrificial robes, who saluted together when the emperor arrived.

Liu Zao didn't know that alchemists were still raised here. She remembered that at the end of each year, there would be a Nuo ceremony in the palace.Many bonfires were lit that day, and many men wore bear skins, four-eyed masks, black jackets, and red trousers, brandishing daggers in one hand and shields in the other. Drive away the plague and pray for peace in the coming year.

Most likely it was them.

The first Wu Zhu is Fang Xiangshi.Fang Xiangshi is an official name that has existed since the Zhou Dynasty, and he turned his palm to drive away evil spirits.

He came forward, bent down, and asked respectfully: "Your Majesty is here today, do you have an order?"

Liu Zao looked around for a week and said with a smile: "passing by here, come to play, you can wait for yourself, don't be restrained."

Hearing the Lord's words, all the witches retreated, except Fang Xiangshi, who followed her on the stage.There are nine rooms built on the stage, and in the palace rooms, unknown smoke is lit, making the room smoky and illusory.

Liu Zao glanced at the door, but didn't go in, and went to look for the fairy that the eunuch had mentioned earlier.

The bronze immortal is extremely tall, comparable to the size of a palace, and the person under it is not much higher than his feet. When he looked up, he suddenly felt how small he was.

Fang Xiangshi asked earnestly: "Your Majesty, would you like to drink the celestial dew? The celestial dew is the heavenly nectar and jade dew, which has the magical effect of prolonging life."

Hearing what he said, Liu Zao took two steps back, looked up, and saw that the immortal was holding a plate, she smiled lightly and said, "No need."

When Fang Xiangshi heard the words, he stopped inviting him.

Liu Zao had seen the immortals, and then looked into the distance. The distance was empty and there was no one there.Thank you for returning to the future.She turned around and asked, "How long has Hu Ao been gone?"

The little eunuch calculated the time and replied, "Your Majesty, it's been an hour and a half."

An hour and a half, then we have to wait for a while.Liu Zao nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Fang Xiangshi stepped forward and said, "It's convenient to go to the rest room. If your majesty is tired from walking, you might as well go in and have a rest."
