The empress called her sister, and the goddess was willing to enter the mortal world

The wind blew across the lake, creating ripples. Ziyou's hair was blown moderately in front of her body. Combined with her purple dress, she didn't look so cold, but instead added a touch of gentleness and charm.

The goddess has been watching here for a long time. I don’t know whether she is enjoying the scenery or missing her old friend.

Gods should have friends too, right?

The few people following Ziyou quietly followed her footsteps and watched for a long time, but they didn't see the goddess say a word. Gods must also feel boundless loneliness, right? They could only think so.

The lively Beichen Yue still liked the goddess who loved to watch the show. She thought for a moment: "Goddess, have you not visited the Empress's palace yet? She has visited all the palaces in Chen Palace. Wouldn't it be a bit of a loss if we don't visit her palace?"

The goddess stood there, her thoughts returned to her mind, but there was still no sign of change in her expression: "Is it because you haven't watched a play recently that you can't hold back?"

Bei Chenyue's face didn't turn red this time, maybe because she had been with the goddess for a long time, she had become thick-skinned. She climbed up the pole: "Look at it small to make you happy, look at it big to make you feel refreshed. Goddess, do you want to go shopping with us?"

Seeing the goddess move, several people knew that they could follow the goddess to have a good look at the palace.

Ziyou paced slowly on the gravel road. Wherever she passed, the palace servants and guards all retreated away. It was not because they recognized the goddess, but because they recognized Beichen Xi. They all knew that she was someone close to the goddess, and the only one who could allow her to follow behind her was the goddess.

His Majesty had secretly warned people not to offend the goddess, so no one dared to show up where the goddess was.

A faint fragrance floats in the air, like an invitation.

Ziyou was very familiar with this smell, it was the scent of osmanthus, and it seemed like she hadn't smelled it for a long time.

The closer you get, the stronger the fragrance becomes.

Bei Chenxi, who was standing next to him, said, "Goddess, this is the imperial garden of the palace. Usually there are guards there, but for some reason today, everyone is gone."

Ziyou looked inside: "There's someone there, let's go check it out."

The guards saw the goddess and her companions from afar, and remembering His Majesty's instructions, they ran away to rest early. As for the people of Beijing in the garden, they didn't even think of reminding them.

Emperor Bei Jing, dressed in casual clothes, was admiring the scenery of the imperial garden with his wife and children. As an emperor, his eyes were affectionate and he looked at his wife with love, which showed their true love.

Ziyou liked those eyes very much.

Maybe it was his sixth sense. Emperor Bei Jing turned his head to look to the side and happened to run into Ziyou and his group.

The cold and aloof woman gave people an elusive beauty. They were distracted for a moment, but they quickly reacted.

They nodded slightly: "Hello, young lady. My wife and I are here to enjoy the scenery. May I disturb you?"

They didn't know the other party's identity, but anyone who could appear in the palace must have an extraordinary identity, so the people of Beijing were very cautious.

Hearing the other party's address, the people around Ziyou looked at the goddess, and saw that her eyes had turned back to that of an ordinary person. Knowing that she did not want to reveal her identity, they did not remind her.

"We are latecomers, so if we are the ones disturbing others, we should be the ones." Ziyou said lightly.

Emperor Bei Jing was a man of elegance and refinement, so he would not chase anyone away. "My subordinates have prepared some tea in the pavilion. Since we have met, would you like to drink some with me, young lady?"

"Good tea goes well with beautiful scenery, sit quietly and enjoy the autumn scenery."

Ziyou smiled and said, "You seem to have forgotten one most important thing."

Emperor Bei Jing's eyes were full of doubt and he looked at the other party in confusion.

"With a beautiful woman by my side and a close friend by my side, the present moment is the best moment."

Emperor Bei Jing did not hide his admiration and extended his hand in an invitation.

Ziyou nodded slightly, and the few of them went towards the pavilion.

Emperor Beijing poured tea into the cup and handed it to Ziyou: "This is the tea we brought from Beijing, Miss, please try it."

Ziyou put the teacup to her nose and sniffed it, then took a sip, feeling it flow freely in her mouth: "The tea has a rich aroma and a slight sweetness. It's a good top note."

Emperor Bei Jing smiled amiably and said, "The beginning of a story is always beautiful, and it is limited to the first cup."

Ziyou looked at the teacup: "The tea leaves are in your hand. As long as you want, it can always be the first cup."

As long as you want? It was the first time he heard such an answer.

He had been tasting it according to the rules and never thought that there was a second way.

It turns out that it can always be the first cup.

If Emperor Bei Jing's attitude at the beginning was admiration, now it is love, the kind of love that an old father has for his daughter.

"Young lady has a novel way of thinking. She breaks away from the routine and is not bound by the existing framework and rules. I admire her very much. To be able to raise such a genius, her parents must have a vision far greater than that of ordinary people."

Ziyou raised her head and met the other person's face: "I have no family. I am an orphan and grew up free."

When Emperor Bei Jing and his wife heard these words, a trace of heartache flashed across their faces. People only see the shining beauty of things, but no one ever cares about the sadness behind them.

Queen Bei Jing reached out to hold the other's hand to give warmth, but was quickly stopped by Bei Chenxi: "Excuse me, madam, my young lady doesn't like to be touched by others."

Queen Bei Jing didn't care about Bei Chenxi's actions at all. She stared at Zi You and said, "He who doesn't rely on things or people is a truly wise person."

"Young lady is very clear-headed. With such talent, is she a newly selected official by the empress?"

Ziyou smiled and shook her head slowly.

Queen Bei Jing said with a hint of regret: "The Empress encourages both men and women to enter the government, which is a good opportunity. However, the disputes in the court may not be a blessing for a girl with such appearance. If you hold great power, you can still protect yourself, but the process... is very difficult."

She looked at Ziyou with eyes full of pity, "The mountains are quiet, no noise, no publicity. If someone were to mistakenly enter, the young lady's appearance would bring disaster upon herself."

Ziyou met Queen Bei Jing's eyes and said gently: "Entering the court, ambitions are everywhere, speaking for the people, the power of belief is infinite."

“The mountains are elegant, ordinary but not mediocre, and have their own silent power.”

Such a clear-headed woman, not only Emperor Bei Jing likes her, but she herself likes her too.

Queen Beijing glanced at her son. She and the emperor had been married for many years, but they only had this one son. She had always wanted a caring little boy, but unfortunately, it was not possible. It would be great if this woman was their child.

Queen Bei Jing looked at Zi You, and the more she looked, the happier she became: "The power that gushes out from ordinary life cannot be underestimated. Although it is the first time I have met you, I really like your transparency."

"Although you didn't mention your experience, I feel sorry for the hardships you've gone through as a loner. If you're willing, you can come to the palace often to visit us. We're currently staying at Qiuhong Palace."
