100: Respecting the elders is what I should do
People in Sanqing could not see him because Xuecheng had no intention of fame and fortune and had long traveled all over the country, catching ghosts and eliminating demons along the way, doing good deeds and accumulating merit.
The people around Sanqing Temple praised it highly because Taoist Xue only received one penny for helping to catch ghosts and eliminate evil spirits. This has been the case for many years.
When Ye Chengyan heard this, he immediately respected Xuecheng even more.
He thought to himself that Chu Nanli had indeed become a monk halfway, and compared with Taoist Master Xuecheng's Taoist heart, it was indeed a world of difference.
After finding out the details of Xuecheng, Ye Chengyan felt relieved and immediately set up a magic circle with Xuecheng at Yuanqiu Mountain.
Later, he protected Emperor Wu's dragon spirit and changed the layout of the Changqiu Palace.
After finishing all this, more than half a month later, the emperor and empress had already set off from Kyoto with their ministers and official family members.
There were a thousand Imperial Guards ahead to clear the way.
The emperor's carriage was naturally at the front, followed by the carriages of Yesi Heng and the various princes.
As for the princes and ministers, they are naturally ranked according to their position and power.
This year, because of the marriage between Anyang Houfu and Prince Yufu, the convoy was also at the front of the queue.
The old lady is getting old, and Mrs. Shen has to stay in the mansion to take care of the inner house, so the two of them will not join in the fun.
Chu Shuo and Aunt Qian returned to Luoyang, so there were only four of them going to Yuan Qiu Mountain this time.
Nan Li and her sister-in-law Xiao Wanyi were in one carriage, and Chu Yang and Chu Yan were in another carriage.
Although Mr. Xiao is a third-rank official, there are so many princes and ministers with titles in Kyoto, so Xiao Wanyi was naturally not qualified to follow the Holy Master to the autumn hunting.
She was able to come this time because of her husband's family.
It takes more than half a day to walk from Kyoto to Yuanqiu Mountain. When we were resting in the middle, Ye Siheng took people over.
As soon as Qing Feng waved his hand, the servants and maids of the palace immediately laid out the mats and placed all kinds of food on them.
The speed and richness are jaw-dropping.
Ye Siheng did not sit down first, but instead said to Xiao Wanyi: "Sister-in-law, please."
"Ah? This... the Ninth Prince really upset me." Xiao Wanyi trembled, a little frightened.
How dare she sit down first?
"Ali and I are engaged. We are now a family. We should respect our elders. This is what we should do." Ye Siheng's face remained as usual, "Fourth brother, fifth brother, please."
Chu Yang and Chu Yan were even more frightened.
Ninth Prince, you are four or five years older than us after all.
Brother, how can we bear this!
The three of them looked at each other, and no one dared to sit down first.
Nan Li had no choice but to pull Yesi Heng to sit down first and said, "I haven't married you yet, so don't worry about it."
Then, she asked her family members to sit down and asked them not to be nervous.
The three of them swallowed.
They sat on the same mat as the God of War of the Kingdom of Mu and had to eat together, so how could they not be nervous.
If anyone is thick-skinned, it has to be Xie Beihan.
Although he was a little afraid of Yesi Heng, the meals he brought at home were not rich enough, so he forced himself to come over and raid them.
Unfortunately, those three people ended up hastily eating two pieces of pancakes. They all said they were full and ran away without a trace.
As soon as Xie Beihan saw the person running away, he took two more delicious pancakes and slurred: "Ninth Prince, Sixth Sister, farewell!"
There were only two people left on the mat.
Nan Li gnawed on the fruit and said, "It seems that I still can't eat with you. My sister-in-law and the others haven't eaten enough yet."
Yesi Heng frowned slightly, "Am I not polite enough?"
"No matter how polite you are, they won't feel comfortable in front of you." Nan Li said.
Although Yesi Heng is not much older than them, in terms of seniority, he is a whole generation older than them. In addition, Yesi Heng has outstanding military achievements and is surrounded by black-armored guards. It is strange that the elder sister-in-law and the others can feel at ease.
Yesi Heng looked at her faintly: "But I think you are quite comfortable."
Nan Li turned her head, her eyes clear, "I'm not afraid of you, of course I feel comfortable."
Ye Siheng couldn't help but remember that when the two met for the first time, she had no fear of him and even reminded her second brother not to get too close to him.
He raised his eyebrows, feeling that she was familiar to him when he first met her. When Qing Feng attacked her, he felt a flash of anger.
That feeling is a bit indescribable.
After resting and eating, everyone set off again and arrived at Yuanqiu Mountain in the evening.
Prince Ye Chengyan led people to greet him.
The emperor and empress had been working hard for a day, so they went to the Changqiu Hall to rest without needing anyone else's greetings.
All other matters were left to Ye Chengyan.
The hunting palace is not small, but the only people who can live in it are royal relatives like Ye Siheng.
As for the other princes and ministers, they settled in tents set up at the foot of the mountain.
Although it is small, it is well-equipped.
But with Ye Siheng around, Nan Li naturally moved to the hunting palace to live.
Once the emperor and empress come, there will be a commander of the imperial army guarding the hunting palace, so there will be no need for Chu Ye to patrol everywhere.
He knew where his sixth sister lived and went directly to look for her.
But Ye Siheng was also in the room. He wanted to see if there was anything missing in Nanli's place so that he could order someone to prepare it.
Seeing Chu Ye, he shouted again: "Brother is here."
Chu Ye paused for a moment, with an unknown expression on his face, and said hurriedly: "The Ninth Prince has defeated the last general!"
"You and your sister-in-law are indeed husband and wife, and they say the same thing," Yesi Heng said.
When Chu Ye heard him calling her "sister-in-law", he started to sweat again.
But he is indeed a bit older than the Ninth Prince, so he can still bear the title of big brother.
At this time Nan Li asked: "Brother, do you have something important?"
Otherwise, the eldest brother will definitely go to the sister-in-law first.
Chu Ye remembered his purpose, straightened his expression, and talked about his encounter with Taoist Xue half a month ago.
As soon as he heard that Xue Cheng had set up a magic circle to prevent evil spirits in Yuanqiu Mountain, Nan Li suddenly realized: "It turns out that the prince asked people to set up the array. I thought it was originally in Yuanqiu Mountain."
When she entered the mountain, she had noticed that there was a magic circle in Yuanqiu Mountain to prevent evil spirits.
"Sixth sister, are you aware of it? Do you think there is a problem?" Chu Ye was always uneasy, so as soon as Nan Li arrived, he went over to ask.
"It doesn't seem to be there at first glance, but if the magic circle moves, it will affect the whole body. I still need to look at the various holes in the formation to confirm whether Daoist Xue has done anything." Nan Li said, "The funds are so small this time.
The prince is not even willing to spend these eighteen thousand taels?"
She is going for a checkup now, and she must be doing volunteer work.
But there were people from the Anyang Hou Mansion present during the autumn hunt, so she couldn't ignore them.
Chu Ye was about to speak but stopped.
Ye Siheng had no inhibitions and directly explained the reason to Nan Li, "You are engaged to me. The prince does not want to use you, lest you make further contributions."
Chu Ye was a little surprised.
It took him a few days to figure out the prince's intention. Unexpectedly, Ye Siheng figured out the prince's intention in a short period of time.
No wonder the prince is so afraid of the Ninth Prince.
When Nan Li heard that it was related to the imperial struggle, she felt it was boring. She did understand that a husband and wife both prospered and suffered losses. However, Ye Chengyan casually used Daochang Xue to set up the formation, which was too imprudent.
She said: "Then it won't be easy for me to interfere."
