026 Tianyan
Bai Shaoqing was stunned and suddenly couldn't speak. After all, she is young. Although she has a natural intuition about this matter, she still imagines it out of thin air, and she really didn't think of everything the old man said. At this time, listening to him say slowly, it was all reasonable, and I couldn't help but feel sad.
She doesn't care what kind of person Emperor Qin is, nor is she afraid of the struggle in the harem. However, if the old man's words are true and she fights everything for herself, it may be just a dispensable scenery in the palace of the Queen Qin. Even if it is famous for a while, it will gradually be blinded by the dust after a long time, which is the result of her will never be reconciled. She still has a big revenge and many unfinished wishes.
The old man quietly looked at the change of her expression, and there was a hint of relief between his eyebrows. His voice was soft and he said, "But if you change your identity to the palace, you won't have these troubles."
"Change your identity?" Bai Shaoqing immediately came to his senses.
"Yes, when you enter the palace as a saint of the Xiang family, you can ask all the government in a clear and obedient way. When encountering major events, the Qin Emperor's ministers will also ask for your opinions to see the good or bad luck. You have a lot of opportunities to stretch your fists and feet, let alone find out your father's grievances. Even if you want to know the secrets of the other three countries, you can do it.
Looking at Bai Shaoqing listening, he said, "In fact, the fate between you and Xiang has already been decided. The jade bracelet in your hand is the treasure of our clan. There is a total of a pair. One of them can only be taken down by the previous saint five years before taking office, and the family has found the next saint. Usually, no matter how sharp the weapon is, it can't be touched at all. The other one was taken off when the saint returned to the mountain and was completely delivered to the next generation of saints. But Tianyan easily brought her own one to your hand. What does that mean?
He smiled and said, "Tianyan is a saint selected by this secret order. Her wisdom is much higher than that of the previous saints. Child, looking back on the experience of meeting her, I believe you can also understand why she chose you to take over the position of saint."
Bai Shaoqing quietly recalled the past she met with Tianyan. She seemed to be sleeping all the time, but she was always observing herself. She didn't seem to care about anything, but she put forward her opinions on herself more than once to help her get out of the predicament. When she said that she was a fairy in such a smiling tone, her black eyes smiled so frankly. She left the kiss on her cheek. No wonder she was not surprised at that time. It turned out to be the sincere affection between the little sisters.
But, do you want to replace her? Be the saint of Xiang's lonely life? Bai Shaoqing couldn't help laughing at himself secretly. Is there any difference? I am destined to be lonely, which really makes no difference! But...
"What about Xiang Tianyan? What will she do?"
"She is indeed a rare Xiang family member in a hundred years. It is not easy for her to resolutely put down everything and choose the path she wants to take. Fortunately, she can find you, otherwise her responsibility will not be easily relieved. Now that she has put it down, she is no longer a member of the Xiang family, but with her wisdom, I believe that she will live a good life.
Thinking that she has been alone and wandering in the world since then, Bai Shaoqing couldn't help but feel sad for a moment, but the old man said, "You don't have to worry about her. She can't inherit her own understanding of herself; what she can deliver to you is your trust. If she believes in you, you should also have the heart to believe in her.
Bai Shaoqing thought for a moment, nodded and asked, "Then excuse me, old gentleman, what are the duties of the saint of the Xiang family?"
"Presiding over the royal ceremony, ascending the throne, establishing the crown prince, sacrificing the temple, divination of war divination, and predicting good or bad luck are all the responsibilities of the saint. The safety of a country and even the situation of heaven is the same."
"This... I ask myself that I don't have the ability to bear it."
The old man laughed and said, "Now it doesn't mean that there will never be. There are still five years for the saint to return to the mountain. In these five years, you can learn everything. Child, come here," he stretched out his hand to her and looked directly into her eyes. There was a red light on her old cheeks. "Make a choice now. Do you want to marry Qin in peace? Or should I stay to learn Xiangyi and enter the State of Qin as a saint five years later to protect the peace of the world?
Under his white eyebrows, a pair of long eyes sparkled and stared at the girl in front of him. Her face swayed with a trace of melancholy, and her expression immediately calmed down, and her tone was natural: "I would like to stay." After saying that, he put her little hand in the old man's palm.
The old man laughed and looked up and said to anyone, "Give a message to the Qin Palace. Princess Ji Guo's peace died in the middle of the sky disaster, which eliminated a disaster for the State of Ji. Let's persuade the Qin Emperor to give up the idea of choosing a concubine for the State of Ji." There was someone outside the window, so he could no longer hear any movement.
The old man looked at Bai Shaoqing with a smile and said, "Let's use a small trick to let the saint of the Qin Palace say these words to Qin Mofeng, and he will not dare to ask Ji Guo for any more concubines. In this way, none of the people you want to save will be fine."
Bai Shaoqing suddenly became happy. After thinking about it, he couldn't help glancing at him and then glanced at him again. The old man smiled and said, "If you want to say something, just say it."
"So... Isn't Xiang's power greater than that of the State of Qin?"
The old man laughed so hard that he took her hand and stood up, but he stood up. Although his white hair fluttered, he did not look like a half-wind and old dragon clock. "This is reasonable and worth thinking about it. Hahahaha!" After saying that, he led her to the outside of the house.
When I opened the door, I saw that the originally empty forest knelt down with nearly a hundred people in white, men, women and children, all in it. The old man laughed and said, "I have been in isolation for 40 years, and I am finally going out of the customs today. From now on, I will be Tianyan's teacher in person. Yan'er, you can bow down.
Bai Shaoqing was stunned, immediately let go of his hand, stood upright, and respectfully bowed to the old man three times.
To Tianyan.
From today on, Bai Shaoqing began her second career as a name in her life.
