"So, Tong Yao ran away from home on the day after her wedding?"
"Yes, when he met Tong Yao, your father sent a flying sword letter to the ministers in the palace. He just replied to the letter after dinner, saying that the emperor was relieved when he learned that Mrs. Tong had arrived safely, and asked your father to tell her,
You can play outside as long as you want, but remember the way home."
Nalan Lianyue sighed as she spoke: "I really didn't think the emperor was a good destination for Tong Yao before, but now it seems that the emperor is the only one in the world who has the broadmindedness to tolerate Tong Yao!"
Yan Qingzheng doesn't understand why, is this called tolerance?
"You have to know that Tong Yao is not a cultivator after all, so as a mortal, he must abide by the three obediences and the four virtues. Even if he doesn't care about these, then who groom and husband can bear the bride running away from home on the first day of her wedding?"
Yan Qing pouted: "Didn't he leave early in the morning?"
"My silly daughter, this is different!" Nalan Lianyue said funnyly: "Where did the emperor go when he got up? He went back to court! But Tong Yao ran away from home! This is completely different!"
Yan Qing was thinking about it, and it seemed to be the truth, but the emperor couldn't go there every day? He just treated Tong Yao as a foreign concubine.
"Tong Yao left without saying goodbye! Moreover, the emperor wanted to make her a noble concubine, but she did not want to." Nalan Lianyue added.
Now Yan Qingzheng had to agree.
After a while, Yan Qingzheng, who had accepted the conclusion that the emperor was not too scumbag, suddenly asked: "Why did Tong Yao run away?"
Didn't she do it voluntarily?
"So..." Nalan Lianyue said quietly, "Only the emperor can tolerate her! You can't understand many of her ideas, they are very strange..."
Yan Qingzheng couldn't help laughing.
"Okay, it's late at night, you should go back." Nalan Lianyue gave her daughter an angry look and told her, "Don't show any clues when I see Tong Yao tomorrow, she is thin-skinned."
"I know, mother." Yan Qing smiled and walked out.
Yan Xi came back soon. When Nalan Lianyue asked, he said, "Rong Che has been sending people to pay attention to Qing'er's actions. When he saw her leaving, he immediately told me with a straight face that he had a headache and had to go back to rest."
Yan Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was really speechless for a grown man to be so clingy to his wife, but he was clinging to his own daughter.
Yan Xi couldn't tell him half a word.
There is an unexplained feeling that I have lost.
They had already laid down to rest. He could still remember the way Rong Che looked out the door frequently. As soon as the servant signaled that Yan Qing was returning to the room, he almost without hesitation touched his temples and said he had a headache.
, and then looked at him...
Yan Xi was really stunned, thinking, does this kid know how bad his performance is?
Then Rong Che said that he wanted to go back and rest early.
Yan Xi suddenly laughed out loud as she thought about it.
Nalan Lianyue asked in surprise: "Why are you laughing?"
"I was thinking about Rong Che's appearance just now..." He smiled and shook his head, as if watching a child's mischief.
"You are still smiling, I am worried here." Nalan Lianyue glared at her husband.
"Worried? What are you worried about?"
"Alas!" Nalan Lianyue stared blankly at Chengchen above her head, as if murmuring: "I don't know, they have been married for more than two years, and I don't know what their plans are..."
Yan Xi's heart moved. He hadn't thought about it that much. His daughter's choice naturally had her own reasons. She must have a plan of her own.
I just don’t know if Rong Che cares about heirs, Qing’er... In fact, it’s best not to leave any heirs, so that you can ascend to the immortal world with peace of mind in the future.
So he also sighed silently: "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Let's just watch it and don't bring it up and add pressure to them."
"I know, aren't I just talking to you?" Nalan Lianyue said.
"It's not easy for the two of them to be together, so don't worry about those things. Besides... Rong Che's cultivation level must have the possibility of catching up with Qing'er, then they will have a future. Otherwise, in five hundred years,
When the period comes, it will either lead to life or death, or farewell to the mortal world forever."
"I'm afraid that Qing'er's temperament doesn't want to leave Rong Che behind and ascend..."
Nalan Lianyue had a good understanding of her daughter. Yan Qingzheng was not keen on ascension, and she was deeply influenced by mortal thoughts. Five hundred years of staying together might be enough for her.
Just like Nalan Lianyue herself, if she had Yan Qingzheng's level of cultivation, if Yan Xi could not ascend by then, she would not be able to ascend alone.
"Okay, we can't see that time!" Yan Xi chuckled suddenly, "Don't worry so much, as I said, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."
"Okay, okay!" Nalan Lianyue compromised, but she would inevitably think about it in her heart.
Yan Xi looked at his beloved wife and knew that she still couldn't let go of this matter. Then she thought about it and smiled.
"I thought of a way."
"What? Say it quickly!" Nalan Lianyue suddenly became energetic, Yan Xi would never make a mistake.
"You were previously worried that Qing'er would be unable to ascend without worries if she left an heir, and you were also worried that she would not be willing to ascend for Rong Che's sake. Then I think that if we can ascend to the immortal world, then Qing'er might miss us and will die at her death.
Choose to ascend when the time comes.”
"We? Ascend?" Nalan Lianyue was suddenly stunned. She had never thought about ascending!
"Yes, we." Yan Xi looked at his wife in a funny way, with constant tenderness in his heart.
I think back then, he and Nalan Lianyue were both the most promising genius disciples of the Tianyi Sect, and they had advanced cultivation at a young age. However, because of him, they gave up continuing to cultivate immortality and were banned from leaving the Xuanmen.
But there is no doubt about the talent of the two. However, firstly, there was no hope of ascension at that time, and secondly, over the years, their consciousness as cultivators has been diluted. After the ascension channel was restarted, they only focused on being proud of their daughter and worried about her future.
Emotions, I never thought that I could continue to practice and ascend!
Nalan Lianyue smiled. Pei Xing's talent was not necessarily much better than his own, and he was still able to ascend without the sufficient supply of materials as his own. So what could he not do if he and his wife were young?
To take a step back, even if it fails, it will not have any impact on the previous life, which is still within five hundred years.
"Okay!" Nalan Lianyue stretched out her hand and said, "We want to ascend together!"
Yan Xi's moved eyes flickered, he knew what Nalan Lianyue meant, and it was not the same in his heart. The two high-fived each other.
After looking at each other and smiling, Nalan Lianyue suddenly looked sideways and asked: "Then are you willing to let go of your emperor?"
Yan Xi froze and smiled awkwardly: "It's only a few years, it's only a few years..."
Nalan Lianyue hummed but did not go into details.
Yan Qingzheng never thought that her parents had rekindled their enthusiasm for cultivation for her sake. She was talking about Tong Yao to Rong Che.
Rong Che was noncommittal. He was completely different from the Emperor in temperament, so it was difficult to comment on whether the Emperor's actions were right or whether Tong Yao's choice was right.
"Brother Huang... is actually very good." He commented very pertinently.
Although they were not very compatible in terms of temperament and had different opinions and practices on many things, Rong Che still believed that the emperor was a... hard to say bad person.
Yan Qingzheng smiled: "I didn't say he was bad..."
Rong Che just grinned. It was already rare for him to say a kind word for his imperial brother in front of Yan Qing. He had already exhausted his kindness and righteousness. He would not agree to it no matter how much he did. He would never disagree with Qing'er again.
"Let's not worry about their affairs. We have father-in-law and mother-in-law..." The implication is that it was a matter of the previous generation.
"That's right." No one can comment on other people's feelings.
When I met Tong Yao the next day, no one mentioned the emperor. They just took her to see the construction site of the new sect gate under construction.
Tong Yao slowly relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that she was completely relaxed, Yan Qingzheng relayed the emperor's words to her during a free moment. Tong Yao's eyes turned red after hearing this.
At this time, she finally figured it out. It turned out that there was really only that person in the world who could tolerate her.
He had clearly promised not to leave without saying goodbye, but he left like this, and he was not angry.
This made her feel like there was no more burden in her heart.
"I'm back, you can do your work." She stood up and went back to the other courtyard. She suddenly felt that she missed the emperor and wanted to write him a letter.
Yan Qingzheng watched her leave in a daze, thinking that her acting style was indeed extraordinary. She would do whatever came to her mind, which was too straightforward...
When Tong Yao's letter arrived in the capital, not to mention how happy the emperor was after reading it, and he was happily writing a reply when he received a piece of news.
Mrs. Yan is seriously ill!
He quickly asked the monk to inform Yan Xi and his wife.
So Yan Xi, Nalan Lianyue, Rong Che and Yan Qingzheng set out on their way home, and Tong Yao naturally came back together.
The Yan family's carriage and the carriage of Prince Xuan's Mansion were waiting at the ten-mile pavilion outside the city gate. After receiving everyone, they hurried into the city.
Tong Yao couldn't help, so she went back to another hospital.
Yan Xi met Mrs. Yan, and when the father and son were alone, she offered to give her father some elixir to prolong his life, but Mrs. Yan refused.
"I have already reached this age. I am seeing my children and grandchildren prospering. What regrets do I have? Why fight with God!" Master Yan had rejected Yan Qingzheng's offer of elixirs at the beginning, but he still has not changed his mind.
"But father..." Yan Xi looked at his father who had run out of oil and was so sad that he choked up and was speechless.
"Xi'er, if you have the energy to take care of this big family, you don't have to worry too much about it. If you have your own pursuits, just do your own thing. Ahem..." Mrs. Yan started to cough as she spoke.
He knew that the ascension passage was restarted, "So in the future, my father will not force you to serve the imperial court..."
There was no hope of promotion at first, so Master Yan felt that it would not be a waste of talent to let his son participate in the government.
Now that he has the hope of ascension, he can no longer tie his son and wife to the court.
"Father!" Yan Xi finally shed a tear.
"Go ahead and call everyone in. I'll see you again while I'm awake." Mrs. Yan raised her hand.
Yan Xi felt sad, but still obeyed and called his family in.
Yan Qing was biting her lower lip, holding back tears. She was extremely conflicted in her heart. Should she rush in and forcefully give her grandfather a life-extending pill?
