Chapter 291 Got it right
He even glanced at Song Jingyun.
Could it be that he was right?
Chen Shuming's guess was confirmed when he and Song Jingyun went to the palace and stopped at the gate of Qingxu Palace.
The emperor was wearing a blue Taoist robe and holding a whisk in his hand, as if he was waiting for them.
"Your Highness..."
Song Jingyun and Chen Shuming hurriedly bowed and paid their respects.
"No need to be so polite." The emperor raised his hand very kindly, "It's getting late, I have to go and get busy, you two should also prepare something and come with me quickly."
Together with the Emperor...
What? Chen Shuming was a little confused, but he reacted quickly.
Could it be that Song Jingyun was right? No way...
Chen Shuming's face suddenly wrinkled into a bun.
After all, he was a student who had studied hard for decades. In addition to making a name for himself, he was more concerned about being loyal to the country, serving the court, becoming a pillar of society, and doing good things for the people.
Until now, he had to accompany the emperor to practice together, and the purpose was still the illusory so-called immortality...
I just feel so depressed.
But now that things have come to this, we can only take it one step at a time.
Chen Shuming tried hard to convince himself to accept it.
Song Jingyun was very calm and just cupped his hands, "Yes, I obey your command."
Then, under the guidance of Tang Zhichuan, he went to the side hall to bathe and change clothes.
The palace servants on the side had already been waiting and had prepared the Taoist robes for the two of them to wear.
After a busy period, the two of them put on the same Taoist robes as the emperor and entered the Qingxu Palace together.
Qingxu Palace is where the emperor practices meditation on a daily basis. Except for the young Taoist priests and heavenly masters who serve him closely, no one else is allowed to enter.
Therefore, Tang Zhichuan could not enter the Qingxu Palace. He just bowed to the two of them and said loudly, "It is a blessing for you two adults to be able to practice with His Majesty. This blessing is not available to everyone. You two adults must not let down His Majesty's kindness."
The word "let down" was meant very heavily.
Song Jingyun and Chen Shuming naturally understood Tang Zhichuan's intention and nodded repeatedly, "Please rest assured, sir."
Then he followed the little Taoist priest and stepped into the threshold of Qingxu Palace.
The hall was very spacious yet very quiet, and the interior layout was also very simple. The emperor sat cross-legged on a cushion in the center of the hall with his eyes closed.
Song Jingyun and Chen Shuming did not dare to make any sound. They were led by the little Taoist priest to sit down on two cushions on the left and right of the emperor.
After sitting down, Song Jingyun also crossed his legs and closed his eyes.
Chen Shuming also followed suit.
It’s just that I’m not used to sitting cross-legged like this, and I don’t know what to do while sitting like this. I just feel very uncomfortable all over.
Especially the rich aroma burning in the gilded incense burner made people feel even more uncomfortable.
Chen Shuming couldn't sit still and just looked at Song Jingyun.
At this time, Song Jingyun was sitting upright, without any abnormality, and even the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he was smiling knowingly.
Seeing this, Chen Shuming felt a little ashamed and took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.
The morning passed quickly.
It was almost noon when the emperor finally got up.
Song Jingyun and Chen Shuming also stood up and stood respectfully aside.
"Today I feel refreshed and my whole body feels light and airy, as if I have left my mortal body. I think the day of becoming an immortal is not far away..."
In 2024, I hope to have more time and energy to write
