Chapter 1603: The Reencounter (6)
"However, the place is indeed a geomantic and treasured site, so the emperor was unwilling to gift this place to anyone. Two years ago, the emperor disapproved of the fake Celestial master Zuo’s request to build his residence here. Unfortunately, just last year, the residence caught fire, and most of the buildings turned into ashes. It made the emperor’s heart ache to see such waste. After the execution of the fake Celestial Master Zuo, the emperor quickly ordered for the reestablishment of the place but to a larger scale. He purposely turned this place into the National Celestial Master’s mansion.
The eunuch continued to tell her the brief history of the place. Gu Xijiu nodded to everything he said. It was no wonder that the area seemed so familiar to her, as it turned out to be an old friend’s place. Back in the days, the eighth prince and Gu Xijiu were close friends. She visited his residence a few times. They even took a stroll together along the shore once.
Rong Che, the eighth prince, was a man of great talents, considerably an epitome in art and poetry. He treated her well and was indeed a good friend in her need. Who would have thought that he was actually the reincarnation of Mo Zhao?
The good old days were still vivid in her mind, like the stroll that they had together along the lake. The memory of Rong Che was like a reflection in the water – beautiful, but evanescent. There was no way they could go back to the time.
While Gu Xijiu was still overwhelmed with the reminiscences, someone came to notify her about the arrival of her guests. "Celestial Master Zuo and Celestial Master You have come to congratulate you."
Gu Xijiu was slightly surprised to hear about the arrival of Di Fuyi.
...
As the new celestial master, Gu Xijiu had no choice but to make her appearance to welcome the arrival of Celestial Master Zuo and Celestial Master You.
Attracted by the fame of both celestial masters, the people had come all the way to her residence to watch the scene of bustle. When Gu Xijiu showed up at the door, it was already crowded with a big audience. Also, the carriages of Di Fuyi and Tian Jiyue had just arrived.
