Cuiwei Mountain is truly beautiful in spring.
Huan Yue was not allowed to casually wander around the Eastern Palace.
Today, without needing any Hanlin scholars or anyone else to respond to the imperial decree, Xie Zhen can already compose a poem.
Princess Yongmu also composed a poem.
Princess Guangning was a talented woman; composing poetry was not difficult for her.
Wenmiao was the bride and the elder sister-in-law; what he wrote was not praise and flattery, but rather a statement about family harmony.
Harmony in the imperial family is also harmony, and its influence extends to the whole world.
Consort Fang then composed a poem: "Harmony in the family brings prosperity in all things. Royal harmony will surely lead to the prosperity of the Great Zhao!"
Huan Yue held his head.
Xie Zhou glanced at her, then remained silent and let Sanlang go.
Xie Yu was quite familiar with the poem, and it was a well-written and substantial piece.
I'm very happy today, please give me a treat!
Qiansha hummed in response; she hadn't done anything yet.
Yan Boxuan cried out, "My work isn't done well!"
Xie Jian pulled him aside and asked, "Let me hear what you've done."
Yan Boxuan snuggled into his uncle's arms and acted coquettishly.
Xie Jian said, "Then let your grandfather's reward be given to you first since you owe him this time?"
Yan Boxuan thought for a moment, then said no! The baby wanted to plant vegetables: "World Tree! There's a sun on it!"
Zhu said, "Isn't that Fusang? There is a Fusang tree in Tang Valley, where the ten suns bathe. It is north of Heichi. It lives in the water and is a large tree. Nine suns live on the lower branches and one sun lives on the upper branch."
Fang Jieyu said, "Fusang is in the blue sea. There is the palace of the Heavenly Emperor and the rule of the Eastern King. There is a mulberry tree that is thousands of feet tall and two thousand feet in circumference. They are from the same root and rely on each other, hence the name Fusang. Immortals eat the root."
Yan Boxuan was confused and looked at his aunt, wondering what was going on.
Huan Yue irresponsibly said: "That's why you should read more books, read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles."
Got it! Yan Boxuan went to his maternal grandfather, and the baby said, "And I want to study: and practice martial arts!"
The question asked today is: "Do you want to be proficient in both literature and martial arts?"
Nod, absolutely!
Zhu asked, "What are you doing here, being skilled in both literature and martial arts?"
Yan Boxuan said to her, "Let's go to sea!"
Huan Yue said, "I'll be the king of the seas!"
Yan Boxuan nodded, "That's right, baby wants to possess a huge ocean and a huge tree!"
Fang Jieyu said, "Isn't Fusang in the blue sea?"
Yan Boxuan blinked. "That's right! So we definitely have to go to sea!"
Nowadays, there are more ideas about the sea; land alone is not enough.
Perhaps the Great Zhao Dynasty isn't that big, but who wouldn't want it to be bigger? To become an emperor for all ages?
An official came up and reported: "Dong Qian wants to divorce Cheng Mai."
I don't feel anything these days.
The eunuch said the second half of the sentence: "And make another concubine for General Lü."
I can feel it now.
Xie Yu felt nothing. Who gave Dong Qian the confidence to still marry Lü Liang? If Lü Liang were to return with his merits, he would inevitably be ennobled. If he were to conquer the Wunu Kingdom, he would be ennobled as a Duke. Although it wasn't Lü Liang or his family who fought the war, his achievements were immense.
Huan Yue thought about it and realized it was actually a pretty good idea.
Lü Liang was not old, but Dong Qian was, after all, the emperor's daughter. Why would he reward Lü Liang with an emperor's daughter? Did he have a grudge against him?
Lü Liang wasn't unable to find a wife, but rather unwilling to remarry. Even if his daughter were married, his illegitimate sons would be grown up; what would happen if he were to have a legal wife or another legitimate son to weigh on General Lü's shoulders?
Lu Wenren fought alongside his father since childhood, risking his life countless times. Was he really going to just hand it over to someone else?
No one could be magnanimous about this.
And Dong Qian actually has designs on military power? Does she think she's some kind of celestial being descended to earth?
Even a favored princess or emperor would have to think twice about this kind of thing, let alone Dong Qian, who is just a blob of a lump of wood. I don't know what she was dreaming about.
Do you think Lü Liang is easy to bully, or his two concubines?
It wasn't easy for them to follow Lü Liang, what's wrong with that?
Therefore, some people neither care about the war with the Wunu Kingdom nor have any humanity; they only care about the benefits.
Consort Zhu said, "I'm afraid there are quite a few people eyeing General Lü."
He snorted coldly.
Zhu understood. General Lü wasn't stupid; his eye on Zhu's military power meant he wanted Zhu dead.
Military power belongs to the emperor. If someone misuses it, what is their gain?
However, General Lü is not very old, so remarrying would be a good option.
Huan Yue felt it was best to respect General Lü's own wishes. Why should he care whether General Lü married or not? Was he eating someone else's food?
Xie Yu was surprised that Dong Qian was quite capable: "Could it be that she wants to use her military power for something?"
Huan Yue said, "To become an empress? Looking at the restless world, her chance has come!"
The emperor was so angry he laughed, so he simply said, "Dong Qianci commits suicide."
Huan Yue hurriedly knelt down and begged, "Let her be with Master Taihua?"
Xie Zhou knelt down and pleaded, "Cultivate your Tao diligently to accumulate blessings for your past and future lives."
Xie Jian, Wen Miao, and others knelt down to beg for mercy.
There's no point in arguing with Dong Qian anymore. Lock her up so she can't do anything.
Although he can't be imprisoned to death, having another Dong Qian wouldn't make much difference.
His expression softened, and he granted everyone's request: "Dong Qian bestows the title of Taiqing Zhenren, and grants him the opportunity to cultivate Taoism at Changchun Temple." He then asked, "Does Qing'e need to be renovated?"
Huan Yue replied, "Master Taihua and Master Taiqing only need one place for quiet cultivation. Changchun Temple is so big, it's a waste to leave it unused. It would be better to convert it into a temple. Build a smaller Changchun Temple on one side and another one in the middle. Also, prepare ten acres of land in the back, dig a pond, and plant some fruit trees."
Let's not worry about it now, let her go her own way.
That smaller Changchun Temple will be used to imprison people later. That's standard procedure.
There are differences, especially in farming and fish farming.
Huan Yue blinked: "Cultivating the Tao requires following the natural way; this is about self-cultivation and character building."
Princess Changning nodded, indicating that she understood.
It's like getting bored staying in the mansion, so you go out and find a place to chant scriptures and drink tea.
Other Taoist temples exist, but most are located in the mountains. Sheng'an is a prime location, its main purpose being to facilitate the palace.
People in the palace don't go out casually. If they do go out, it's to farm and learn about the outside world. That's how special it is.
It doesn't matter what happens now, it's just that one small area anyway. As long as Changchun Temple is still there, that's fine.
Huan Yue also hoped that everyone would cultivate the Tao seriously, as there were many things to do and they should take it slow.
First, go and lock up Master Taihua and Master Taiqing together.
Princess Yongning thought to herself, "If these two rivals are locked up together, will they start fighting like the Pei family's daughter? That would be quite a spectacle."
It's actually not difficult to get them to fight. They'll fight for something good, or they'll fight over a single steamed bun when they're starving.
It's not that I wanted to watch them fight, and nobody had time to watch anyway. What's the point of watching when they fight so badly?
However, they might fight over ownership of Changchun Temple.
Huan Yue thought to himself, even if there are only two people, they still need to be ranked. As for the possibility of the two reconciling, it's too small.
Yan Fufu remained silent. Dong Qian wanted to marry General Lü, something even her child couldn't understand.
Besides, what would the Cheng family think?
Another eunuch came to report: "The Xiong family wants to offer His Majesty one million taels of silver."
Huan Yue blinked. Why was the Xiong family acting so strangely?
Driven to desperation?
What kind of crazy move is it to offer the emperor a million taels of silver? Although there are emperors who are greedy for money.
Everyone was stunned.
The eunuch stammered, "There are still twenty beauties."
The question is now being asked: "Does the blue moth want to watch people dance?"
Huan Yue said, "I'm afraid we can't afford to support them. It's hard enough to support one beauty, let alone twenty. Would that bankrupt us?"
Xie Zhou nodded: "I only need to raise one Qing'e."
The emperor was so angry he laughed and rewarded Qing'e with five dancing girls.
