After I told him too much, my father began to believe it. He thought it was because of his old age, so he became even more obsessed with the longevity pill.
"Then what did the emperor say about the people he sent?" There was no news for five days, and Gu Chengyu felt not optimistic.
"It is said that the news has been sent, and he is rushing to the Taoist Master's door."
Gu Chengyu couldn't help but sigh, maybe when a person is at the critical moment of life and death, he won't be able to cross this hurdle.
Everyone wants to live. The closer to death, the more nostalgic for the colorful world.
What's more, as an emperor, he has the entire country in his hand and controls the life and death of the people in the world. What a supreme right this is.
He was reluctant to part with the wealth and glory in this world, and he was reluctant to part with the great country in front of him. There was so much reluctance that the emperor went to extremes.
The mountains and rivers are vast, the world's riches and honors are all the reasons why the emperor is nostalgic for the earthly world.
The warm winter sun has already risen, the auspicious snow suddenly stopped, and a silvery white stretches to the vast sky.
"Why are you in such a hurry to come back? It's been snowing for a few days. It's been hard to walk on the road." The eldest princess touched the rosewood beads in her hand and looked at Princess Rongjia who was sitting opposite.
Ever since she came to Zhuangzi yesterday, Rong Jia has been taciturn. The eldest princess felt uncomfortable seeing her daughter like this.
But this is the destiny of a woman's life, she must get married when she reaches her age.
"Sister Ying, there are ten unsatisfactory things in life. Even if you are an emperor, you can't do whatever you want. You just can't turn around for a while. When you get married, you will understand that everything in the past is just a passing cloud. When you marry your husband and raise your children,
Raising children is a lifetime."
The eldest princess had tears in her eyes and her eyes were eager. She looked at Lord Rongjia with some hope and some caution.
This time I went to the hot spring village just to see each other.
Deng Chenghong, the censor of Zuodu, is a second-rank official. The Deng family is a famous family in Xiaguan Prefecture. His ancestors have produced several first- and second-rank officials, and they can be regarded as the clear stream of the imperial court.
Deng Chenghong's son is young, only nineteen, and is preparing to take the imperial examination next year. It is said that he is very knowledgeable and has a high chance of passing the exam.
Even if he is not compared with some monsters, he can still be regarded as a young hero.
The Duke of Qin is a prominent figure in the capital, and her identity is so precious. How can Sister Ying get married to those noble children? Deng Xun is a very suitable candidate for marriage.
That child is not an insult to Sister Ying. As long as he keeps his feet on the ground and has the support of two families in the future, there will be no need to worry about a good future.
People cannot choose their own background. Even though Gu Chengyu has extraordinary abilities, his background is too poor.
Even if Gu Chengyu worked hard and worked twice as hard for it, it would still not be as good as those from aristocratic families. They could easily climb to Gu Chengyu's current status by relying on their ancestors' influence.
Lu Chen of Zhanyuan Hou Mansion, her most valued eldest son, who enters the officialdom and is not a fourth-ranked son?
And how much effort Gu Chengyu had to put in to become a fourth-grade official was the reason why she disagreed.
"I see that Mr. Zhai is also a sensible person, and with your noble status, how dare Mr. Zhai bully you? This kid Deng Xuan works hard to make progress, and he has become a talented person. I have watched him grow up. Listen.
This palace’s one will never be wrong.”
The eldest princess stepped forward and held her daughter's hand. Her eyes were fixed on Lord Rongjia, fearing that her daughter would make trouble again.
Lord Rongjia raised her head and glanced at her mother. She saw that her mother's eyes were full of worry, so she closed her eyes slightly.
There was silence in the carriage. Aunt Chang, who was sitting aside, looked at the silent princess with a worried look on her face.
The eldest princess's face gradually sank, and the hand holding Princess Rongjia gradually let go.
I felt indescribable disappointment and helplessness, and even a hint of resentment toward my daughter.
Am I still not tolerant of her? I knew she didn't want to get married, so I delayed the marriage for two years. Now that I'm almost an old girl, I didn't expect that she would still act like this.
If Deng Xuan hadn't been focused on completing his career, with such a good condition, he would have said marriage long ago.
The eldest princess looked at her daughter with a look full of hatred. She simply sat back down and said nothing. At the same time, she made up her mind that she would decide on her daughter's marriage no matter what this time.
"My mother thinks the Deng family is good, so let's go with the Deng family."
After a long while, Princess Rongjia's condensed voice suddenly came from the carriage, making the people in the carriage stunned.
The eldest princess' originally gloomy expression immediately turned to joy, "It's best for you to think it over and listen to your mother. You will definitely thank your mother for this in the future. How could your mother harm you? It's all for your own good."
The eldest princess was so happy that her eyes filled with tears. She finally figured it out. She had been heartbroken for the past two years, and she was extremely dissatisfied with Gu Chengyu.
The two of them have never met before, so it is simply unbelievable how their daughter could have such a deep love for each other.
Princess Rongjia couldn't help but feel a little choked up in her throat when she saw the eldest princess's happy expression.
"Mom, I made an agreement with my third uncle last time that I would go up the mountain to see him during this period. I plan to go to Baoen Temple today to offer incense, and by the way, I will see my third uncle and stay in the temple for one night before returning."
She lowered her eyes, came forward, and rested her head on the eldest princess's lap.
The eldest princess touched her daughter's soft hair. She was naturally happy that her daughter could figure it out, so she had no objection to this matter.
They haven't been this close for a long time. It's rare for a daughter to be so close to her, so the eldest princess naturally has no reason not to agree.
"Then you stay one night today and return tomorrow morning. Your grandmother has not been feeling well these past two days. You go to the palace to spend more time with your grandmother."
There was a muffled voice coming from the knee, "It's all according to mother"
Grandma Chang opened her mouth to speak, but was interrupted by the eldest princess's eyes. She still understood her daughter's temperament.
The daughter was determined not to give up, just in case she used the reason of going to Baoen Temple to do something extraordinary. She decided to send the eldest girl and Grandma Chang to follow her and never leave.
After hearing her mother's agreement, Princess Rongjia breathed a sigh of relief.
Heavy snow has closed the mountain in the past few days, and a path was finally shoveled out on the mountain road under Baoen Temple, and carriages stopped at the foot of the mountain one after another.
At this time, there were already many pilgrims at the foot of the mountain. Although the weather was cold and it was extremely inconvenient to move under the white snow, Baoen Temple never lacked pilgrims.
Because there is a sea of flowers to the west of Baoen Temple, and there is a plum grove there.
A luxurious carriage did not stop at the foot of the mountain, but went around to the other side, and the carriage continued to drive towards the mountain.
The road up the mountain there is relatively flat, has no steps, and can be passed by horse-drawn carriages. However, not all horse-drawn carriages can walk on the road here.
The carriage entered the temple and stopped in a courtyard in the southwest corner. A girl wearing a large fur cloak with peacock blue brocade was helped out of the carriage by a woman dressed as a girl.
"Princess, my servant has already inquired at the temple just now. At this moment, Master Wu is listening to the abbot's lecture and chanting in the Zen room."
Second-class girl Ziyuan saw that her princess had arrived, so she stepped forward and reported to Princess Rongjia.
"When will it be over? Do you want to tell your third uncle that I have come to the temple?"
