The banquet ended successfully.
All the officials took their leave.
Ning Que and Shen Qinghe were naturally left behind.
The Queen Mother held Shen Qinghe's arm affectionately.
It seems like I have endless things to say to her.
"Qinghe, you must come to the harem more often in the future. After you get married, have less contact with those noble ladies. They are the most jealous and like to play tricks."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Shen Qinghe nodded obediently.
Looking at Ning Que who was accompanying Emperor Feng to appreciate the plum blossoms in the distance.
"I heard from the Emperor that you are the only daughter of the Master of the Divine Machine Pavilion?"
"Um."
"Shenji Pavilion..."
The Queen Mother looked up at the sky, sighing slightly.
This is the largest sect in China!
There are not many disciples, but each of them is a talent.
"I've had the pleasure of meeting your father."
"Xiao Ning'er was still very young at that time."
"I remember, his last name is Bu?"
"Yes." Shen Qinghe nodded. "My father's surname is Bu, and no one knows his real name. Everyone respectfully calls him Master Bu, Mr. Suanzi, or Bu Suanzi."
"and you……"
"I take my mother's last name."
Shen Qinghe gets along very well with the Queen Mother.
She could feel the Queen Mother's love for her.
It's a very pure emotion.
He really treated her as a relative.
"I was not born by my father. My mother died after giving birth to me, in a rice field. My father passed by and saved me. He named me Qinghe and brought me to Kunlun Mountain."
"You... don't have a mother?"
"Um."
"What a miserable child."
The Queen Mother was clearly overflowing with maternal love.
Looking at Shen Qinghe, tears in his eyes.
Life would definitely be difficult without my mother.
Bu Suanzi is a man after all.
He never got married and had no children in his life.
How to know how to take care of children?
"You suffered as a child!"
"It's actually not that bad." Shen Qinghe didn't care. "Although my father didn't understand a lot, he did the best he could. When I was still a baby, my father went from door to door begging for milk. When I was a little older, he returned to Kunlun Mountain. More and more disciples came to him because of his reputation, and I even became the eldest sister."
“It’s so difficult…”
The Queen Mother has children of her own.
Raising an adult is not easy.
"It's not bad actually."
"The junior brothers and sisters in the sect take good care of me."
"My father knows everything and has taught me a lot."
The Queen Mother looked at Shen Qinghe and nodded gently, "It's a pity that Kunlun Mountain is too far away. Your father will take some time to come. When he arrives, please make sure to stay for a while."
"Father doesn't really like being outside."
Shen Qinghe was also very straightforward and direct.
She didn't know much about Bu Suanzi.
He is just often seen sitting on the edge of a cliff.
Watch the sunrise and sunset, with thick clouds and mist.
His face showed no emotion, neither sad nor happy.
One can only see some loss in his eyes.
As she grew up, she began to understand.
My father knows too much.
But I can't change anything.
There's a feeling of powerlessness.
Few people know about Bu Suanzi's past.
All we know is that he served as prime minister and led troops.
Under his rule, the State of Qi became strong in both military and cavalry.
He is also a local overlord.
But later he was framed by political enemies and forced to leave.
Then...the State of Qi was destroyed by the Shang Dynasty.
Finally, Bu Suanzi went to Kunlun Mountain.
No longer care about worldly affairs.
"What are you talking about?"
"Talking about my father."
Ning Que stepped forward, raised his hand awkwardly, and said, "Master has a very strange temper. Auntie must have heard about it. He usually stays in Kunlun Mountain and doesn't interact with others. If there is anything I say that is not nice, please don't get angry."
"Not really."
The Queen Mother waved her hand nonchalantly.
Among all talented people, how many have good tempers?
For example, Ouyang Zheng has a very bad temper.
There were several times when even Emperor Feng was very angry.
But so what?
Ouyang Zheng is still alive and well.
Now he is the prefect of Linzi County.
There is also Yu Ji, this old man has a bad temper too.
But this is all normal.
As long as it can be used for the country, it is worth it.
"Where are your senior brothers and sisters?"
"They should all be on their way."
Emperor Feng seemed to be lost in thought and jokingly said, "Your marriage this time has alarmed the entire Shenzhou. Hearing that the Shenji Pavilion is marrying off its daughter, several envoys have sent documents, hoping to attend the wedding banquet."
"Forehead……"
Ning Que was a little surprised.
When you think about it, it's quite normal.
After all, Shenji Pavilion is too famous.
It has long been famous in various countries of China.
I don’t know how many people have extended olive branches to me over the years.
But Bu Suanzi never agreed.
Moreover, he gave the order himself.
Disciples of the Shenji Pavilion are not allowed to enter the secular world.
You must not join the dynasty for fame and fortune.
Like Ning Que, he was expelled when he first came down the mountain.
Like Wan Sanqian, Chen Daozi is still his disciple.
In Bu Suanzi's view, the constant wars in China were due to the numerous dynasties, each ambitious and motivated by a struggle for resources.
He had once been a political victim, his motherland destroyed by the Shang Dynasty. Therefore, he did not want to see his disciples involved in political struggles and factional disputes, so he always had this rule.
So many disciples rushed to Chang'an this time.
How could the other dynasties not be surprised?
Could it be that the Shenji Pavilion has defected to Dafeng?
It was only now that they realized it.
Ning Que was actually once a disciple of the Divine Machine Pavilion?!
Moreover, he wants to marry the Pavilion Master’s daughter?
Naturally, they couldn't sit still.
Shenji Pavilion has been a neutral force over the years.
