Princess Yongning was surprised to see his big reaction: "It's just a birthday celebration, why are you reacting so strongly?"
Zhao Hao said, "This is our first meeting, and it's also my aunt's birthday. If I knew in advance, I could get it right."
Princess Yongning covered her mouth and laughed, "How can it be so exaggerated? Besides, you have already prepared a lot of things."
"That's enough!"
"Besides, my aunt has always been quiet and doesn't like noise."
"If you make a big show of it, Auntie won't like it."
Zhao Hao thought thoughtfully: "Is that so?"
Princess Yongning comforted her, "You don't need to be nervous, just treat it normally."
Zhao Hao nodded.
…
The carriage moved forward quickly and soon got off the official road. After driving for about two more hours, it finally arrived at Suxin Temple before the whole world was completely destroyed.
This is a Taoist temple built on the mountain. From afar, there is a building on top of the snow-capped mountain, which really has the flavor of a Taoist temple.
Fortunately, the carriage can reach the foot of the mountain.
After getting off the carriage, the guards lit torches, and Princess Yongning ordered people to move the things on the carriage to the Taoist temple.
Although she had many carriages, she did not have many things.
Most of them are things used in daily life.
Nothing too expensive.
On the other hand, it’s different on Zhao Hao’s side. Ninety-nine percent of the food is various kinds of food.
Wu Song walked over to Zhao Hao and asked in a low voice, "Sir, do we also need to move the things in our car to the viewing room?"
Zhao Hao shook his head and said, "Forget about our things. Just move the big clock, the various snack boxes, and the vegetarian food up there."
Wu Song nodded and asked people to move things.
Seeing that there was a clock, Princess Yongning asked hurriedly, "Why did you bring this clock here?"
Zhao Hao smiled softly and said, "There's nothing I can do. Time is too short. I have to give my aunt something good!"
"After much thought, this is the only clock I have."
Princess Yongning frowned and said, "A clock, a clock, a gift for the deceased, how can anyone give a gift like you do?"
"Isn't that killing people?"
Zhao Hao’s eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Princess Yongning in disbelief.
"you……"
Seeing his surprised expression, Princess Yongning snorted, "When you gave it to me before, I hadn't reacted yet and didn't think of this."
"I heard what Xiaotao said accidentally afterwards."
“I just realized it!”
Zhao Hao was speechless. He never expected that Xiao Tao would be the first to discover this problem...
He quickly said, "You can't blame me for this. You insisted on me getting one, so how could I not give it to you?"
"Besides, what's this about seeing someone off to the afterlife? It's all feudal superstition, it's dross!"
Princess Yongning said unhappily, "Quibbling, okay, even if I took the initiative to ask for it then, what about this time? What else can you say?"
Zhao Hao rolled his eyes and laughed, "That's easy. I'll ask my aunt for a small item and then exchange it with her for the clock. Doesn't that count as a gift?"
Princess Yongning was convinced: "Okay, this is an idea, you have a quick mind!"
Zhao Hao said, "By the way, why didn't Your Highness let Xiao Tao come with you this time?"
Princess Yongning immediately became suspicious and said, "It was not an easy journey all the way here, so I didn't let her come along to suffer."
"Why are you asking this? Do you want to make things difficult for her because she told me about the funeral?"
Zhao Hao waved his hands repeatedly: "How dare I do that! Well, let's go up the mountain quickly, it's too cold outside!"
Princess Yongning nodded and went up the mountain with Zhao Hao.
Except for some people who were carrying things, most people were left at the foot of the mountain by Princess Yongning.
Including Wu Song, everyone found an open space at the foot of the mountain and began to set up tents.
After all, the Taoist temple on the mountain cannot accommodate so many people, and the temple is full of female practitioners, so it is not convenient to go up.
The guards brought by Princess Yongning are all her personal guards. It seems that this is not their first time here and they already know the rules.
Not long after they walked, they saw a few skinny little nuns walking towards them quickly.
Several people quickly came over and greeted Princess Yongning.
"Meet Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Princess Yongning nodded slightly and looked at the two little Taoist nuns.
"It's Yuzhen and Yuchun."
Hearing that she could actually call out their names, the two little nuns were immediately flattered.
"Your Highness the Princess still remembers us."
Princess Yongning smiled and said, "Of course I remember. By the way, how is my aunt?"
One of the nuns hurriedly said, "Your Highness, Uncle Master is fine and is waiting for you up there now!"
Princess Yongning nodded: "Okay, then lead the way!"
The two little nuns immediately led the way upstairs, and Zhao Hao and Princess Yongning followed behind.
Behind him were a group of guards carrying things.
There are still quite a lot of things.
This mountain is quite high, estimated to be around six or seven hundred meters.
The halfway point of the mountain is about three or four hundred meters away.
After walking up for about half an hour, we finally arrived at the Taoist temple on the mountainside.
As soon as he came up, Zhao Hao saw a woman in a plain dress standing at the main entrance of the Taoist temple.
The woman was approximately 1.6 to 1.8 meters tall, slightly taller than Princess Yongning and slightly shorter than Jiang Wan'er.
The whole person stood there, very thin, with his arms hanging naturally and clasped in front of him.
The most beautiful thing in the world.
Peaceful and tranquil.
Moreover, he looks like he is only thirty years old, or even younger.
When Princess Yongning saw the woman, she was overjoyed and quickly ran towards her.
"aunt……"
The woman also had a smile on her face as she walked towards Princess Yongning.
The two hugged each other tightly.
Zhao Hao also walked over slowly.
After hugging for a long time, the two finally let go and started exchanging greetings.
But it was Princess Yongning who was talking and the woman in the plain skirt who was listening.
Finally, the woman in the plain skirt held Princess Yongning's hand and her eyes fell on Zhao Hao.
"You are busy talking, girl. Why don't you introduce this young man who came with you to your aunt?"
Her voice was very soft and very clean, as if it had a natural buff that could calm people down and make them subconsciously prick up their ears to listen.
Her appearance is also very distinctive. Her face is thin and narrow, but her nose is high and her mouth is neither too big nor too small, which is just right for her face shape.
There is a melancholy temperament.
But the faint smile on her lips made her look less melancholy.
Upon hearing this, Princess Yongning's pretty face suddenly turned red.
Then he introduced: "Aunt, his name is Zhao Hao, he is the only son of the current internal historian Zhao Wenxiang. Some time ago, because of his great achievements, he was conferred the title of Viscount by the imperial sister."
