Maybe I shouldn't die.

But she is a princess, the emperor's sister, and a princess deeply favored by the emperor. With so many buffs stacked together, she can get any beauty she wants.

Thinking of this, she asked.

"Dad, how did my brother become favored by the princess?"

Fang Shu was relieved when he heard Fang Yue didn't mind. He only had two children and didn't want any misunderstandings between them.

But after hearing Fang Yue's subsequent question, he could not help but be stunned for a moment, and answered after a while:

"Li'er is good-looking and writes well. He was noticed by His Majesty during the palace examination. Your maternal grandfather was implicated in the exile, and His Majesty felt very guilty, so he raised his rank to the first place and made him the third place.

Later, when he was parading in the streets, the princess took a fancy to him. After investigation, she found out that he had a sister who practiced Taoism, so she arranged a marriage between him and the princess. "

Fang Yue was thoughtful after hearing this. Is it compensation for the maternal grandparents? But don't the maternal grandparents have two cousins? She has seen the second cousin, and he is also good-looking. As a brother from the same mother, the eldest cousin should also be good-looking.

So she asked.

"Why didn't you choose two cousins?"

Fang Shu immediately understood what she meant, shook his head and replied with a smile.

"Your eldest cousin was already married when he was exiled, and your second cousin had a childhood fiancée who did not break off the engagement when your maternal family was exiled, so after your maternal family was rehabilitated, the two of them got married very quickly."

It turned out that the two cousins ​​were already married. Fang Yue nodded to show her understanding, and then continued to ask.

"Do many people know that I'm going to cultivate immortality?"

When her second cousin recognized her identity, she thought it was her father who told her grandparents that she was going to practice Taoism, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Hearing this question, Fang Shu also sighed.

"We didn't want to expose the fact that you were cultivating immortals, but there were many noble families who went to that Immortal Cultivation Meeting, so we were naturally recognized."

Having said this, he paused for a moment before continuing.

“The late emperor did not like people who practiced Taoism. In the past, some children of noble families who practiced Taoism would come back to visit their families with great fanfare.

Naturally, he was summoned by the late emperor, but those who practiced Taoism did not care about worldly etiquette and did not kneel to salute when they saw the late emperor.

The late emperor was displeased, but he didn’t say anything at the time, despite his concern for the other person’s status as an immortal cultivator. But after the immortal left, his family was still liquidated by the late emperor.”

Fang Yue couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard this. Although cultivators cannot interfere with the cause and effect of the mortal world, the emperor is settling accounts with the other party's family just for this reason. Isn't this a cause and effect that is delivered to the door?

She couldn't help but ask.

"Wasn't the late emperor ever retaliated against?"

Fang Shu glanced at her and couldn't help laughing.

"What are you thinking? How could the late emperor attack them for no reason? The other party's family was not upright to begin with, which gave the late emperor a reason to attack.

This is in line with the laws of the court, and even immortals cannot say anything about it.

However, after this incident, the noble families in the capital had a tacit understanding that if a family member had a son or daughter going to practice Taoism, they would tell them not to come back in a big way unless necessary. "

Fang Yue couldn't help but nodded. The concepts of the cultivation world and the mortal world are different. It would be really difficult for a cultivator to have a good conversation with the emperor.

If the emperor gets angry at them, all the noble families have some privacy, and if it is dug out they will inevitably be punished. This is all within the rules of the dynasty, and even cultivators cannot say anything.

Even if one has done nothing wrong, being disliked by the emperor is not a good thing for those who want to pursue a career in politics.

Over time, these people from aristocratic families developed a tacit understanding that if someone in the family was able to cultivate immortality, they would try to come back as little as possible, or if they did come back, they would not let everyone know.

Everyone tends to seek benefits and avoid harm, let alone those from aristocratic families who have access to power.

After seeing Fang Yue nod, Fang Shu continued speaking.

"You also know your elder brother's ambitions back then. After so many years, he still hasn't forgotten his ideas. But in this world, it's difficult for him to implement his ideas.

But things were different after he married the princess. The princess was of noble status, and the rules that were used to restrain women in the world were meaningless in front of the royal family.

So your eldest brother tried to tell the princess his idea, and unexpectedly the princess was also interested, so the girls' school was opened.

Afterwards, your elder brother, through the princess, opened a textile factory specifically for women and a shop specifically for women. Although these were insignificant, they gave many women a chance to leave home.

This is the result of your elder brother's long-term efforts, but these measures can only rely on the princess for the time being, because the princess is of noble status and is your majesty's sister, and their friendship is special.

As long as His Majesty agrees for her to do these things, people will not dare to question her.

But if your elder brother is taken out on, he cannot guarantee whether His Majesty will still be willing to allow the princess to continue to promote these measures.

After all, Your Majesty grew up with the princess and knows her best. It is easy to guess that these were your elder brother's suggestions, but they were harmless to the dynasty, and he did not object for the princess' sake."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty, but still said:

"Dad doesn't want your elder brother to work so hard for so long and see some hope for the reform to be destroyed just like this. After all, that was your elder brother's ideal.

What’s more, countless people have suffered since then.”

Fang Yue didn't know that there were so many causes and effects behind this. She just wanted to avoid causing trouble for her family. Now that she knows all this, she can only be thankful that she made the right decision before.

Her elder brother even gave up the opportunity to test his spiritual roots for his ideal, because he was afraid that if he had spiritual roots, he would not be able to stick to his ideal.

So she smiled and answered:

"My elder brother has accomplished something with great difficulty. If I ruin his ideal because of me, then it would be my fault. It's so good now. I don't want anyone to disturb me. This is a good opportunity for me to spend more time with my father."

Fang Shu couldn't help but nodded with relief. It was good that Yue'er understood. Although such a thing might not happen, Fang Shu didn't want to take the risk.

Both of them are his beloved children, and he only hopes that both of them are well.

After that, the two chatted about other topics for a while until Manager Hu came over to remind them.

"Master, Miss, it's time for dinner."

The two of them then stopped, and soon maids and servants brought them exquisite meals.

Many of them are what Fang Yue wanted to eat when she was a child but couldn’t. At that time, she had to take medicine, and in order to prevent the food and medicine from conflicting with each other, she couldn’t eat many dishes.

I didn’t expect that after so many years, my family still remembers these details.
