Chapter 61

In late September, Wudang Mountain, Taihe Palace.

At dusk, the white-haired and youthful-faced Lao Guan had finished his speech, and Hua Yang approached him piously, asking for advice on a few ignorant points, and then took Chen Jingzong to leave.

The couple walked side by side towards the guest courtyard where the princess and son-in-law lived temporarily.

On the way, Chen Jingzong looked at Hua Yang, who was wearing a white dress and not stained with makeup, and asked again: "I have lived here for seven or eight days, when are you going to go back?"

Hua Yang: "What's the rush? I may only come to Wudang once in my life. Of course, I have to stay longer. If you are worried about the affairs of the guard, you should leave first."

She didn't want Chen Jingzong to accompany her on this trip, it was Chen Jingzong who insisted on following her.

Chen Jingzong pursed his lips.

Last month, she took Chaoyun, Chaoyue, Zhou Ji, Wu Run and dozens of guards to visit Dongting Lake. She set off at the beginning of the month and came back at the end of the month. She just stayed in Ning Yuan for a few nights, and went back to the ancestral house to accompany the elders through the Double Ninth Festival.I'm going to visit Wudang Mountain again.If Chen Jingzong doesn't come along, the couple may have to part for another month!

"There is Lu Da in the guard, I don't need to worry about anything, but you, these few days are either listening to scriptures in Taihe Palace or Yuxu Palace. If you continue to listen, I'm afraid you will also learn from your grandpa.Xiang Dao has been thinking about how to cultivate immortality all day long."

"presumptuous!"

Hua Yang scolded in a low voice, and at the same time looked around vigilantly, making sure that there were no little Taoist priests passing by, and then she warned Chen Jingzong coldly: "Usually you can just arrange me, grandpa, how can you just talk about it casually? The truth is passed on, YushiGo and sue you for disrespect in front of my father, even if my father wants to let you off because of my face, when it comes to the emperor's grandfather, he can't do favoritism."

Chen Jingzong looked at her with a smile: "Wouldn't that just give you a reason to divorce me, and then change to a son-in-law who completely suits your wishes."

Hua Yang didn't bother to talk to him.

After returning to the guest house and resting for a while, two young Taoist priests brought the couple's dinner. Being in a Taoist temple, it is natural to be a vegetarian.

Steamed buns, white porridge, and vegetarian dishes, Chen Jingzong's expression became even uglier.

Hua Yang just thought it was funny: "You asked for it yourself."

Chen Jingzong was not afraid of being a vegetarian. What made him most aggrieved was that he brought that thing here, but because he was staying in a Taoist temple, she insisted on being particular about it, and he was not allowed to mess around in the Taoist temple.

If he had known this earlier, he might as well have gone to Dongting Lake with her last month, or Wudang Mountain.

Hua Yang gave him a steamed bun: "Eat more, I want to visit Tianzhu Peak tomorrow."

Chen Jingzong sneered: "It's just you? It's tiring to walk from here to Tianzhu Peak, and you still want to climb the first peak here?"

Hua Yang: "Isn't there still you here? If you can't crawl, I'll let you carry me on your back."

Chen Jingzong: "Being a vegetarian every day, I can't move my back."

What he disliked in his mouth was vegetables, but what he cared about in his eyes was another kind of meat.

Hua Yang pretended not to understand, and said with a light smile, "You can sleep at home if you can't carry it. I'll take Zhou Ji there."

In the morning of the next day, at the foot of Tianzhu Peak, Chen Jingzong rolled up his sleeves and continued to act like a cow to the delicate princess.

Tianzhu Peak is too high, Hua Yang does not expect Chen Jingzong to carry it all the way, she walks by herself when she can move, and when she finds a place suitable for enjoying the scenery, she sits down with Chen Jingzong on a smooth stone, Zhou Ji led a team of guards and followed behind at a certain distance.

After walking and resting, it was almost noon, and the two finally reached the top of Tianzhu Peak.

The autumn wind is savage, making the robes rattle.

Zhou Ji came over with the food box, picked a windless place to set up the easel, and then retreated to the side of the guards so as not to disturb the princess and the son-in-law.

Chen Jingzong watched him walk away, bit the steamed stuffed bun, and said to Hua Yang: "You royal ancestors just like to toss people."

On this Wudang Mountain, many Taoist temples were built under the supervision of craftsmen ordered by her grandfathers Taizu, Chengzu, and Emperor Huang. Just climbing the mountain is tiring enough, and the craftsmen have to transport so many stones and wood up the mountain. How hard it must be.

Hua Yang: "If there is a loss, there must be a gain. Although the craftsmen have worked hard, they have also earned money. The ancestors also left these Taoist temples for the world to cultivate the mind. Otherwise, these mountains are bare, and tourists will not have a place to stay when they come to watchplace."

Chen Jingzong just chatted casually and didn't argue with her.

When she was full, Hua Yang asked Chen Jingzong to grind ink, and she came to paint. This was also a gift she would send to her father, queen mother, queen brother, and what she had seen with her own eyes in the form of a painting for her family.

The mountains are magnificent, and Hua Yang painted three consecutive paintings from different angles.

Chen Jingzong: "It can be regarded as a good painting. If I continue to grind it, my wrist will be sore."

Hua Yang glanced at his hand, accidentally recalled certain moments in the night, and couldn't help the tips of his ears turning red.

Could it be that she has been a vegetarian for so long that even she misses her somewhat?Otherwise, how could such an idea come up on the top of this mountain.

Fortunately, Chen Jingzong was packing his things, and when he raised his head, Hua Yang had returned to normal.

The easel and other things were handed over to the guards, and the couple still walked in the front.

When she was about to pass a fork in the road, Hua Yang found a commoner farmer with a bamboo basket coming from another road. She panicked and asked Chen Jingzong to let her down.

Chen Jingzong also noticed the man, and slowly put Hua Yang on the ground.

After walking a few steps, the farmer also appeared at the intersection. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw someone coming down the mountain road above, and the farmer subconsciously glanced at it.

Seeing Hua Yang, the farmer was stunned.

Just as Hua Yang was about to avoid his gaze, he suddenly felt that this person looked familiar, and when he looked again, he saw that although he was dressed in commoner clothes, he was dignified and clear-eyed. He was about fifty years old, with a long beard and a rather handsome appearance.A bit of fairy style.

Seeing Hua Yang staring at him intently, the farmer smiled, put down the medicine basket on his back, bowed and said: "Li Dongbi, a grassroots man, I have seen the princess."

Hua Yang already had some guesses, but when he heard his self-reported name, Hua Yang was overjoyed, trotted a few steps to this person, and said joyfully, "It's really Doctor Li, why are you here?"

Li Dongbi is a famous doctor in this dynasty. He used to work in the imperial hospital and treated Emperor Jingshun. When she was a child, Hua Yang had a cold and was very sick. It was Li Taiyi who helped her cure it.

It's just that Hua Yang was only ten years old at that time, and with his rebirth, his memory has long been blurred. If it weren't for Li Dongbi's impressive demeanor, Hua Yang might not even have a familiar feeling.

Li Dongbi smiled and said: "The princess doesn't know something. The grass people are from Qizhou, Huguang. Recently, they happened to go to Wudang area to collect medicinal herbs. I don't want to meet the princess's fairy beauty."

The beauty of Hua Yang is something that anyone can never forget. Although she is now more open than when she was ten years old, Li Dongbi still recognized that beauty at a glance, and he has also heard of Hua Yang.The deeds of the princess flogging King Xiang, know that the princess was indeed in Huguang at this time.

The two chatted for a while before Hua Yang remembered to introduce Chen Jingzong to Li Dongbi. He simply said a few words: "This is my son-in-law Chen Jingzong, the fourth son of Chen Ge's hometown."

Li Dongbi sized Chen Jingzong up, and sincerely praised the son-in-law's good looks.

After all, he didn't know anything about Chen Jingzong, so he could only boast.

On the next mountain road, Hua Yang seemed to have forgotten Chen Jingzong, and kept walking alongside Li Dongbi, asking him what herbs were in his back basket, and then asking him what Li Dongbi had done these years after he left Capital City.As for Li Dongbi, he didn't pay too much attention to Hua Yang's princess status, but seemed to regard Hua Yang as a young friend who forgot his age, with a calm and kind attitude.

Chen Jingzong walked behind the two, his eyes sometimes fell on Hua Yang's smiling face, and sometimes on Li Dongbi's goatee.

I don't know if he thought too much, but Hua Yang seems to be particularly partial to the old man and Li Dongbi, who are old and have real talents.

Under Hua Yang's warm invitation, Li Dongbi followed them to the guest courtyard of the Taihe Palace and had dinner together.

At the end of dinner, Hua Yang glanced at Chen Jingzong, and said to Li Dongbi: "To tell you the truth, Li Taiyi, my mother-in-law has often suffered from backaches in recent years. Could you please come back to Ling Zhou with us and take a look for her?"

Chen Jingzong: ...

My mother hasn't turned 50 yet, and she looks pretty tough. She never talked to them about her backache. Why did she suddenly need to ask Li Dongbi to see a doctor?

Or is it that Hua Yang is too filial, so that his mother can't bear even a little problem, and compares him to his own son?

Li Dongbi devoted himself to gathering herbs, if someone else invited him to consult a doctor, he would definitely refuse.

But facing Shang Hua Yang's sincerely inviting face, Li Dongbi couldn't bear to disappoint the princess.

"Since the princess has such filial piety, the old man will go with you."

Hua Yang was very happy, so he called Zhou Ji and asked him to personally take Li Dongbi back to his place, and their horses and chariots would go there to pick him up in the morning.

After Li Dongbi left, Chen Jingzong followed Hua Yang into the house, and asked doubtfully, "Mother told you about her back pain?"

Hua Yang: "No, but she and her father are both old, and the old man will have some problems to some extent. Since we met Li Taiyi, of course we can't miss this opportunity. You have also seen that Li Taidoctor's whereabouts are erratic when collecting medicines., wait until the second elder really committed some hidden illness before looking for him, but there will be nowhere to look for him."

Chen Jingzong: "But if the two elders are healthy, didn't you let Li Taiyi go for nothing?"

Hua Yang raised his eyebrows: "The two elders are more important, or is it more important to delay Doctor Li's schedule for half a month?"

Chen Jingzong confronted the old man again, and if he was asked to choose him, he would also choose the second elder of the family. He was just surprised by the performance of Hua Yang people before and after: "You princess, you seem to treat Dr. Li as your own grandfather when you entertain him. Who would have imagined that?"You just want to take advantage of Doctor Li's medical skills, I think he is almost sixty, should I say you are too utilitarian to him, or do you say you respect the old man too much?"

In the final analysis, she was still for the old man in the family!

Hua Yang glared at him: "I want him to help both father and mother see, why do you only say that I respect father?"

Chen Jingzong: "Guess, which one you treat our family better is actually because you love the old man."

Hua Yang: ...

She carried it on her back and combed her hair.

Chen Jingzong sat beside her, looked at her face and said, "You will stop pushing me no more if you feel guilty."

Hua Yang snorted, "So what if I love my family and my father? I am a utilitarian person, and I respect my father because he has the talent of being an old man. He can assist my father in governing the country and allow me to live a good life for the people. But heaven and earthIt can be learned that I only have respect for my father, if you don't be so eccentric and nonsense, if it spreads out, you, me, and my father will all be reduced to a laughingstock."

Chen Jingzong: "I understand this. You are not so blind that you don't love a handsome and strong son-in-law like me, but instead miss a bad old man in his fifties. It's just that I don't understand that the Inner Pavilion is so old.Why do you only value our family, he was only the second assistant when he left Beijing, and his political achievements are not as good as the Chief-of-Staff or even the previous Chief-of-Staff."

Hua Yang put the hairpin on the table, picked up the comb, combed his hair twice, then glanced at him, and said with a smile: "It's more or less a matter of face, since I was a child, I have seen more than a dozen old elders.In appearance and style, no one can surpass my father."

She couldn't tell Chen Jingzong that she was a reborn person, so she could only make jokes to fool the past.

Of course, she didn't mean to torment Li Dongbi on purpose, but her father-in-law seemed to be tough, but in fact he was suffering from a hidden disease, which was related to his premature death in the previous life.

Chen Jingzong looked at her probingly for a while, then squeezed past her, and looked at himself in the mirror.

The three brothers, including the second brother who has passed away, have all the facial features of the old man. They are very handsome and handsome, but because of practicing martial arts, Chen Jingzong insisted on rubbing off the bookishness common to the men of the Chen family, as if suddenly there was an extra handle in the beautiful jade box.sword.

After looking at it for a moment, the eyes of the couple met in the mirror.

Chen Jingzong suddenly asked: "If the Empress Dowager wants to give a marriage, and I, my eldest brother and my third brother are not married, who would you choose?"

Hua Yang: ...

"I don't choose anyone, I'll marry someone else!"
