Traveling through ancient times: living a different life

Entering the inner hall, the Queen Mother Han Xiatong, accompanied by the Fourth Princess Jiang Lihua, hurried over. The little girl was 9 years old this year, with bright eyes and white teeth, and was pretty. When she saw Biyue and Luochen, she hurried forward to greet them.

"Fourth uncle, fourth aunt, little cousin, you are finally here. Huaer has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Hua'er has grown up, becoming more and more dignified, generous, beautiful and lovely. My daughter is just well-behaved."

She came over and held her little cousin's hand, very warmly. The couple greeted Han Xiatong. The queen held Biyu's hand and said with a smile,

"Yue'er, your appearance hasn't changed at all over the years. Fairies are different. Their faces never age. I'm almost 40 now. Sigh, I'm getting old."

"Sister, you are joking. Who will see it? You are only in your 20s. How can you belittle yourself?"

"Are you going home for the New Year this year? When my sister holds a banquet in the palace, you must all come. I have invited you several times, but you always said you were busy. You can't refuse now."

"Okay, we'll just agree to my sister as a couple."

Luo Cheng said to Jiang Xiatong, "Third sister, I was at His Majesty's place just now. He said that he would ask the princes and princesses in the palace to come and test their spiritual roots tomorrow. If they have the physique to cultivate immortality, they will be allowed to stay and protect Changping State in the future. Yue'er and I agreed."

"Your Majesty's proposal is very good, and I agree. Having a strong man in charge can ensure the eternal prosperity of Changping State."

Bi Yue said, "I want to send people to register the princes and princesses in the palace starting tomorrow, and then register the palace maids and young eunuchs. The day after tomorrow I will personally test these people to see if any of them have the physique of spiritual roots?"

Han Xiatong opened her eyes wide in shock and said, "Oh, why are the palace maids and eunuchs also tested? The palace maids are OK, but the eunuchs are disabled."

"The announcement I issued back then was that all the people in Changping State, including the palace maids and eunuchs,

Han Xiatong heard Bi Yue say this and said with some embarrassment on her face,

"Yes, my sister-in-law is right. The eunuchs in the palace are also part of my Changping Kingdom. Let's test them all tomorrow. Those who don't test positive can rest assured and work hard in the palace. Otherwise, there will always be a sense of insecurity in their hearts."

As they were talking, the eunuch came to report, "Your Majesty, Concubine Rong and Concubine Shu are here, and they brought the prince and the fifth princess with them, and they want to see the goddess."

"Let them in!" said the Queen.

"I'm sure he's here to ask you for a favor."

Bi Yue knew that after Jiang Shaokang ascended the throne, he selected four beauties to enter the palace, namely Rong Fei, Xian Fei, Ning Fei, Shu Bin, and Zhao Yi was the concubine of the original palace.

These five women gave birth to princes and princesses respectively. Although the queen's mother's family had a strong background, it was still a feudal society. The emperor, who was the highest in the world, could not just live with one woman. He would feel tired after a while.

Fortunately, Emperor Jiang Shaokang only had six women around him. Among all the emperors in history, he had relatively few concubines. Perhaps he still had feelings for the queen.

In addition, the queen's sister-in-law was the goddess of Changping State, so he gave the queen a lot of face by doing this.

Han Xiatong felt uncomfortable, but she had to pretend to be magnanimous. The mother of a country cannot be petty. It was only after so many years that the children born in the harem survived healthily. The concubines knew this very well and they still respected the queen. The concubines got along harmoniously, which was what the emperor was most happy to see.

Bi Yue thought that in this feudal dynasty, rich and powerful men all had three wives and four concubines. The higher the position of the man, the more wives and concubines he had. If Luo Chen also found a lot of women to disgust her in the future, she would definitely not let him have an easy time.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Luo Chen. Luo Chen saw the look in his wife's eyes and knew what she meant. He smiled at her and used his inner strength to transmit his voice.

"Wife, I won't be like the current emperor and find a lot of women. In my heart, there will always be only you as my wife, and there will never be other women."

After the two concubines came in, Bi Yue stood up and everyone saluted each other. Logically, since Bi Yue was a cultivator, she didn't have to salute them, but this was the palace and since they lived in this secular world, the etiquette could not be abolished.

After everyone was seated, the two concubines came today mainly to ask the goddess if they could let their children test their spiritual roots after coming back this time. If they had spiritual roots, she also wanted her children to learn to cultivate immortality and live a long life.

Rong Fei was the first to ask,

"Goddess, I came here today to ask if you can let my child test his spiritual roots this time. If he has the physique to cultivate immortality, I hope he will follow you to learn cultivation."

"You are here at the right time, Concubine Rong. I was just telling the Queen about this matter. I will send someone to the palace tomorrow to start registering the princes and princesses, as well as the eunuchs and palace maids.

After the children with spiritual roots cultivate this time, those who are willing to stay in Changping Country can stay, and those who don’t want to stay can go to another world with me. This is what I promised to the emperor. I will leave this continent in a hundred years and may not come back. "

The Queen and the two concubines seemed to have heard about this matter vaguely. Today, after hearing it from Bi Yue herself, they were even more certain that the goddess left this continent a hundred years later and went to another world to practice Taoism.

The two concubines received the confirmation and happily said goodbye and left. On the way back, they met three other concubines. After hearing the explanation of Rong Fei and Shu Fei, they did not enter the Queen's palace again. It was the maids in Fengyi Palace who whispered a few words in the Queen's ear. Then the Queen spoke to Biyue,

"Rong'an, Concubine Ning, Concubine Xian, and Zhaoyi also came here just now. Concubine Rong and Shuping informed them that the registration would start tomorrow, and then they went back home."

"Sister, they want their children to become immortals. This feeling is understandable. After the test, if they have spiritual roots, it's good. If they don't have spiritual roots, they can only be ordinary mortals. This is destined."

After chatting for a while, it was already past five in the afternoon. Knowing that the three of them did not want to eat these earthly foods, they did not want to keep them, so the three of them said goodbye to the queen.

Arriving at the carriage parking area, the three of them got on the carriage, and the coachman drove the carriage to the Dingyuan Mansion.

When they reached the door, the servant saw that it was the Third Young Master who had returned, so he hurried back to inform him. Another servant came over and drove the carriage to the backyard with the coachman. The three of them walked into the courtyard of the Duke's Mansion.

Jiang Zhenzhu, Han Shaoqing, the old Duke and his wife all came out to greet them. The old Duke and his wife had taken the longevity pill three years ago and were now in good health. They no longer needed crutches and were strong and looked 10 years younger.

Seeing his great-grandson, his face was as bright as a chrysanthemum. He walked over to hug Han Peiqing. The child was quite clever. He walked over to let the old Duke hug him, saying nice things.

"Grandpa, I missed you so much that I came back to see you. You are getting younger and younger. Now you don't even need a cane. You are becoming an old god."

The old Duke laughed out loud after hearing this. The other great-grandsons were all grown up and some were married, but this little great-grandson was the youngest and had higher cultivation than the other grandsons. He would definitely be a promising person in the future, so the whole family doted on this precious baby.
