Zhu Feng said, then looked at Xu Miaoming's back who was walking towards the back of the hall, pondered for a while, and said, "Xu Miaoming hasn't returned to the Xu family in these years. This time, it's naturally for the queen's business, but she said that she has other things to do. Please pay attention."

“…”

Nanyan glanced at Zhu Feng.

Although the matter of sending a child to Guanyin has not yet been achieved, or it may have nothing to do with the Xu family, after this incident, Zhu Feng's string to the Xu family was also tensed up.

Nan Yan whispered: "I understand."

“…”

"Then the emperor must be careful, too."

Zhu Feng said: "The Great Sacrifice Altar is not far away, so don't worry."

Nan Yan thought that what he was worried about was not the place along the way, but the place of the Great Sage Hall.

Every time Zhu Feng passes, something seems to happen.

But today, it is sent to the queen's coffin to be placed in, so nothing should be done.

So he nodded.

At this moment, the concubines had already started walking out. As the head of all the concubines, she naturally had to dispatch them immediately. After letting the concubines in the banquet hall go out, they stood on the open space outside the hall, and arranged in two groups according to the positions of the East and West Palaces.

Although time is tight, fortunately there are few people, so it is not too messy.

After everyone stood still, Xiao Shunzi and his people raised the coffin and slowly walked out of the banquet hall. The people from the Xu family followed both sides of the coffin and walked with them.

When the coffin walked out of the temple, Nanyan brought the concubines to the ground.

"Great send to the Queen."

Immediately afterwards, all the civil and military officials in the open space of His Highness knelt on the ground and respectfully sent the queen to this journey.

So, the vast team left the Qi Banquet Hall, left the palace gate, and headed towards the Grand Sacred Altar.

It was not until the farewell team left the palace gate that Nanyan stood up.

From afar, you can still see the shadows of white banners flying in the air.

She turned around, looked at the person who was kneeling all over the ground, and said, "Get up."

Everyone stood up.

Nan Yan said, "Everyone has worked hard these days, let's go back. Huipin, please let someone clean up the banquet hall."

Li Paner hurriedly said, "Yes."

Everyone saluted her one after another, then turned and left.

Ran Xiaoyu helped her and asked, "Does the Empress go back and rest?"

Nan Yan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's rare to come out today. Let's take a walk outside. I've been bored in the bedroom for too long."

Ran Xiaoyu looked around and said, "But the clothes on the Empress are too thin. I will help the Empress get a flask and wear it."

“Okay.”

"Then the lady is here, don't walk around."

"Go quickly, don't treat me as a child."

Ran Xiaoyu smiled and turned around and ran away.

Nanyan stayed in place, but the several banquet halls were about to be cleaned up, and people were coming and going, so she couldn't help but get in the way. So she took a few steps aside and simply walked to the garden behind the side hall to take a look.

However, as soon as I walked over, I saw the door of the side hall opening a line.

A small head poked out.

"You are, the Imperial Concubine?"

When Nan Yan saw that he was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, she was looking at him with a pair of clear eyes as bright as water.

Nan Yan waved to her, and the girl ran over immediately.

Nan Yan asked, "Who are you?"

"I am Ruoshui, Taoist Master Miaoming's apprentice."

"oh……"

"Imperial Concubine, I finally saw you."

"Finally... have you seen me?"

Feeling that she was saying something solemnly, Nan Yan said with a smile: "Can you still come to see me specifically?"

Na Ruoshui said seriously: "The master said that she will do three things this time when she returns to Beijing."

"Oh? Those three things?"

"The first thing was for the Queen's devotion. For this matter, she took me day and night and finally came back this morning."

"Oh, that's really hard."

Although Xu Miaoming looked cold and even a little arrogant as a genius, he still attached great importance to family affection.

Nan Yan asked again: "What is the second thing?"

Ruoshuidao: "The second thing is to settle me."

"Set you? Haven't you been with your master all the time?"

Ruoshui thought for a while and said, "It's not always the case. When I was a child, my hometown was flooded with water, and nine out of ten houses were empty. When my master was preaching, he passed by and picked me up. I have been following my master for the past few years."

"So that's the case. So, you haven't entered the Xuanmen yet?"

Ruoshui shook his head: "I don't want to enter Xuanmen."

"Why?"

"The Xuanmen... is too deserted."

Hearing this, Nan Yan raised his eyebrows slightly.

Speaking of which, many people will deliberately approach Xuanmen Kongmen and Kongmen in their words, pretending to be profound and showing their extraordinary nature. However, they do not know that the real Xuanmen Kongmen cannot be approached by ordinary people at all, because it is really deserted.

Nanyan calls herself a vulgar person, but she still likes the lively world.

She likes to be with Zhu Feng, and she likes to watch her children crying and fighting. Even if she sees the concubines fighting, she doesn't want to sacrifice herself to Xuanmen and Kongmen to guard the loneliness that does not belong to the world.

So, when she heard Ruoshui's words, she immediately felt a little close.

He nodded and said, "Yes, Xuanmen is too deserted."

Hearing her say this, Ruoshui opened her eyes wide: "Empress feels so too?"

Nan Yan smiled and nodded: "Yes."

Ruoshui clapped his hands and said, "At last time there is someone like me. When I say this, everyone says I am vulgar, and the master also said that I can't escape the concerns of the mortal world, and I can't be quiet even if I enter the Xuanmen."

Nan Yan said, "So, your master took you back to the capital to find a place in the world to settle you."

"Um."

"Will you not be reluctant to part with your master?"

Ruoshui thought for a while and said, "Actually, I'm very reluctant."

“…”

"The master doesn't care about himself, I can take care of her. I am very good at working, whether it's making fire, cooking, washing and sweeping the floor."

“…”

"But Master, I travel all year round, I don't want to do this. Every day I wake up, I don't know where I sleep, every day I go on the road, and I don't know where I will sleep at night."

“…”

"I, I still hope there is a place to settle down."

“…”

Nan Yan felt a little moved when he heard her words.

A girl who has lost her home since she was a child and travels around the world with an uncertain Taoist practitioner, she will inevitably feel insecure.

It is normal for her to settle down.

Nan Yan glanced at her, but didn't continue what she said, just asked: "Then what is the third thing your master wants to do when he returns to the capital this time?"

Ruoshui looked up at her.
