Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

Lu Xunhuan originally planned to meet Yan Ningxue and then return to the Dragon Palace.

But the masked man in black robe actually followed him to the Dongli courtyard, which made him feel a strong sense of crisis.

The man obviously hoped that he could find the divine bones as soon as possible, and just warned him to hurry up.

He didn't know whether the man had left Longzhou City. What if he didn't leave, but was secretly following him?

So, he had to pretend that he was trying hard to find the divine bones.

In addition, because he was afraid that the man would follow him, he didn't dare to return to the Dragon Palace now.

If that person discovered the Dragon Palace, it would be a huge threat to everyone.

So, he decided not to leave and pretended to search for the divine bones with all his heart in Longzhou City.

While the two were shopping, they received a notice from Prince Yan Bei that they would go to Yan Ningxue's house for dinner tonight.

Therefore, at dusk, Yan Ningxue brought Lu Xunhuan back home openly.

When the two returned, Yan Bei had already arrived.

Before the banquet started, he called Lu Xunhuan and the Third Prince to the study to talk alone.

He asked Lu Xunhuan, "You've been away for nearly two months. What have you been busy with at Taiqing Sect?"

Lu Xun Huan replied, "Ask them for advice on cultivating immortality, and strive to make faster progress."

Yan Bei asked again: "How have you improved?"

Lu Xun Huan replied, "My Lord, we are still far from there."

"A few days ago, I followed the masters of Taiqing Sect to the Nine-Layered Demon Tower for training. We formed a formation to deal with the monsters. Because I was the weakest, I dragged down the entire team. In a moment of carelessness, Elder Fu was sacrificed."

The Third Prince took over and said, "What a pity! Dongyan has lost a top expert."

Yan Bei pondered for a moment before continuing, "After all, you are a great writer in Dongyan. You should write more good articles."

"If you can succeed in cultivating immortality, then do it. If you can't, don't force it."

"You've thrown yourself into Taiqing Sect, so are you still going to do other things?"

Lu Xun Huan replied, "Of course I did. I went to cultivate to become stronger and more capable of protecting myself. This way, I can better serve the Crown Prince in the future."

Yan Bei asked the Third Prince, "Uncle Wang, are you satisfied with this son-in-law?"

The Third Prince smiled and said, "I am the most famous writer in Dongyan. I am also a tall and handsome man, and I am also your right-hand man..."

"Satisfied, of course satisfied."

Yan Bei said, "As long as you are satisfied, you will take good care of him for me in the future. When I succeed to the throne, I want to appoint him as prime minister."

The Third Prince was delighted when he heard this, but he said, "Oh, Crown Prince, this cannot be heard by outsiders. It would be disastrous if the current Prime Minister heard it."

Yan Bei said, "We are family, so I will only speak the truth to you. I won't say it in front of others."

The Third Prince nodded: "I understand, I understand."

Yan Bei added, "Lu Chenglong, you assisted this Crown Prince in his campaigns, annihilating the northern barbarians and driving out the Southern Liang people. Your contributions are immense."

"You should have been assigned a position in the imperial court. How about getting you a position first so you can gain some experience when you become prime minister?"

Lu Xun Huan asked, "What position does the Crown Prince intend for me to take?"

Yan Bei pondered and said, "It's no longer necessary for Yang Mingyang to hold the position of commander of the Imperial Guard. Third Uncle, what do you think?"

The Third Prince lowered his head, avoiding Yan Bei's gaze: "This... I'm afraid it's not good..."

Yan Bei thought for a moment and said, "It's indeed a little inappropriate."

"Uncle Third Prince, you are in charge of the Cavalry Battalion, and your son-in-law is in charge of the Imperial Guard. People will gossip about you."

"But the commander of the Imperial Guard must be one of my own. Yang Mingyang is not one of them. He always opposed me in the past."

The Third Prince said, "As for me, I'm old, and there are some things that I can't do anymore. As for Yang Mingyang, he's about the same age as me, so it's time for both of us to retire."

Yan Bei asked, "Uncle Wang, are you sincere? Are you willing to step down?"

The Third Prince stroked his beard and said, "I have a condition."

"First, I want to retreat with Yang Mingyang. If he doesn't retreat, I won't retreat either."

"Secondly, Yang Mingyang and I have both retired. You have to let Lu Chenglong take on the position of either the commander of the Imperial Guard or the commander of the Cavalry Battalion. Otherwise, wouldn't my retirement be in vain?"

Yan Bei smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Wang."

The three chatted for a while, and then the servant came to announce that the dinner was about to begin.

The three of them went to the dinner.

We ate together, drank, watched dancing, listened to music, and didn't talk about business anymore.

After eating for a while and getting a little drunk, Yan Bei said, "Lu Chenglong, I heard you play the zither well. How about playing a piece for me today?"

Lu Xun Huan stood up and bowed, saying, "My qin skills are limited, and I'm afraid the prince will laugh at me."

Yan Bei waved his hand and said, "Don't laugh, don't laugh, play it."

Lu Xunhuan said yes and went to sit down in front of a guqin.

Then it started to play with a "ding ding dong dong" sound.

The sound of the piano is beautiful and the lingering sound is lingering.

After the song ended, Yan Bei asked, "What song is this? It's very beautiful, but I've never heard it before. Could it be that you've created a new piece?"

Lu Xun Huan replied, "Your Highness, this song is 'The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix'."

Yan Bei applauded: "Good, very good, Xue'er, did you hear that?"

Yan Ningxue lowered her head, her heart secretly filled with joy, she was shy and her face turned red.

That night, the dinner lasted until late at night.

Everyone was chatting, laughing, drinking, listening to music and watching dancing, having a great time.

Finally, the Third Prince arranged a carriage to take Lu Xunhuan back to the Dongli Courtyard, and today's journey came to an end.

On the second day, the song "The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix" that Lu Xunhuan played in the Third Prince's Mansion spread throughout Longzhou City.

The story between the great writer and Princess Xue also spread.

For a time, the golden boy and the jade girl, the talented man and the beautiful woman became legends.

But after their relationship was confirmed, Yan Ningxue no longer ran to the Dongli courtyard every day.

According to Dongyan customs, there shouldn't be too much contact before marriage.

Now that their affair has become public, countless eyes are staring at Yan Ningxue.

If she goes there again, people will know where Lu Chenglong lives.

In fact, many people have already guessed it.

Starting from the next day, people from all walks of life came to the Dongli Courtyard to inquire.

However, the servants and maids all said that the owner of this place was not Lu Chenglong, and they were deceived and left one by one.

As a result, it became difficult for Lu Xunhuan to practice quietly in the Dongli courtyard.

Yan Bei still acts with the same vigor and efficiency.

On the second day after the dinner, he found His Majesty for a private talk and suggested that the Third Prince and Yang Mingyang retire.

When the prince died in battle, it meant that Yang Mingyang had lost his status as the king's uncle.

In fact, His Majesty had wanted Yang Mingyang to step down a long time ago, but considering his hard work and great contributions, and also considering the former queen, he had been hesitant to make a decision.

Yan Bei went to have a drink with the Third Prince, who expressed his willingness to retire and hand over the Cavalry Battalion.

Since the Third Prince is willing to retire, it would be perfect for Yang Mingyang to retire with the Third Prince and hand over his position as the commander of the Royal Guard. Then Yang Mingyang and the former Queen would have nothing to say.

So, seven days later, the imperial edict came down.

Lu Chenglong was officially appointed as the commander of the Imperial Guard, and another general in the army, a man trusted by Yanbei, was appointed as the commander of the Cavalry Battalion.

As a result, all the troops inside and outside the city were in the hands of Prince Yan Bei.

After Lu Xunhuan was appointed as the commander of the Imperial Guard, he had a commander's office.

After the imperial edict was issued, the imperial guards came to help him move.

Together with the maids and servants, everyone left the Dongli Courtyard and moved to the Commander's Mansion.

When Yan Bei arranged a commanding residence for Lu Xunhuan, he arranged it to be next to the Third Prince's residence.

This made Yan Ningxue very happy. He was right next door, so wouldn’t it be easy to see him in the future?
