The Journey of Immortality of the Peerless Medical Concubine
Chapter 21: Imperial Palace Inner Courtyard
The old man was wearing a golden dragon robe. Although his hair was gray, his face looked strong and powerful. If Wen Liuli didn't know that he was nearly a hundred years old, he would have thought that the man in front of him was only in his early sixties.
At this time, Tang Zongluan was leaning on the dragon couch with a book in his hand.
"I felt the sword energy from a distance, and I knew it was you."
Seeing Tang Tianyu and the other person, Tang Zongluan put down the book in his hand and slowly stood up.
"Grandson (granddaughter-in-law) meets Grandpa Huang!"
Seeing Tang Zongluan stand up, the two of them bowed hurriedly.
"Hmm? Baby, come here and let me see!"
Noticing the woman next to Tang Tianyu, Tang Zongluan narrowed his eyes slightly, and then as if he thought of something, his expression suddenly froze, and then he slowly spoke to Wen Liuli.
This girl should be the descendant of the clan that the emperor mentioned before, right?
Wen Liuli felt a panic in her heart when she heard that, then she turned to look at Tang Tianyu. After seeing Tang Tianyu nod, she slowly stepped forward and walked to Tang Zongluan's side.
"You are indeed the descendant of the Second Young Miss. Your features are exactly the same as those of the Second Young Miss back then!"
When he saw Wen Liuli's face clearly, Tang Zongluan couldn't help but curl his lips.
Thinking of the scene when I met Tang Zongyu at the Zong family that year, it seems as if it is still vivid in my mind.
"Girl, who are you, Tang Zongyu?"
"Replying to Grandpa Huang, Tang Zongyu is the granddaughter-in-law's grandmother."
"Grandma, is she doing well now?"
"Thank you, Grandpa Emperor, for your concern. Grandma is still in good health now."
"Ah~ Time really flies. I was lucky enough to meet the two young ladies of the Zong family in the past. I didn't expect that more than sixty years later, I would be able to meet the descendants of the second young lady again."
Pursing his lips, Tang Zongluan took Wen Liuli's hand and sat down.
Before this, Tang Zhentian had already told him everything about Blue Star. Even Tang Zongluan found it unbelievable when he first heard about it.
I didn’t expect that there really is another world, and that the survivors of the clan are in that world and have descendants.
Thinking about the affairs of the clan, Tang Zongluan still feels aggrieved about it. Over the years, he has been sending people to investigate who was the one who slaughtered all the members of the Tang clan.
But the murderer seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and no matter how he investigated, he could not find even the slightest clue.
"Grandpa Emperor, I came here for a reason."
"Huh? Say it!"
Hearing this, Tang Zongluan looked at Tang Tianyu.
"The senior once told my grandson that the person who slaughtered the clan had the mark of the snake cultivator tattooed on his hand."
"Snake repair?"
Hearing Tang Tianyu's words, Tang Zongluan stood up suddenly. This was the first time he had a clue in so many years. How could he not be excited?
"But Senior, I don't know who did it. Since I came back, I have sent people to look for the Snake Cultivation Mark, but to no avail."
"It doesn't matter! As long as there are clues, I will send someone to investigate!"
After a long time, Tang Zongluan gritted his teeth and said, "If I knew who destroyed our clan, I would kill your entire family without leaving anyone alive!"
Wen Liuli had no say in these matters, but she also knew that Tang Tianyu and the others were discussing her grandmother's enemies, and she hated those who slaughtered her grandmother's entire family.
My grandmother used to be a rich lady, but because of the massacre, she was forced to flee to Blue Star, where she encountered war and her only relative, her sister, was brutally killed by the Japanese.
You can imagine how desperate my grandmother was at that time.
Later, my grandfather passed away, and now my grandmother can only stay in the house alone. Only my father and second uncle can go back to see her from time to time.
Due to his own reasons, my brother and sister-in-law have been guarding the Changsheng Gate in the void all year round, while I came to this Changsheng world.
I don’t know how my grandma is doing now. I really want to go back and see her.
"Forget it, let's not talk about those unhappy things. It just so happens that the imperial kitchen has delivered some new things today. Come and try them with me."
As he spoke, Tang Zongluan ordered the palace maid behind him to bring up a plate of cakes.
Seeing the pastries in front of him, Wen Liuli raised his eyebrows.
Isn't this the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that I ate in Shudu with my brother? Does this world also have it?
With the attitude of trying it, Wen Liuli and Tang Tianyu each picked up a piece and put it in their mouths.
uh-huh?
That's the taste.
"Haha, not bad."
Seeing the expressions of the two people, Tang Zongluan smiled, then picked up a piece and tasted it.
He is different from Tang Tianyu. Although they are both grandmasters, Tang Zonglun has never practiced fasting. How can one know the fun of this world without tasting all the delicacies in the world?
On the other hand, Tang Tianyu disdained to eat before he met Wen Liuli and Wen Gongliang. Even when he was wandering in the Changsheng Gate, he didn't eat a grain of rice or drink a sip of water for several years.
"Grandpa Emperor, your granddaughter-in-law has also brought you something."
While eating osmanthus cake, Wen Liuli smiled, then waved outside the house, and then a palace maid came in carrying a plate and a chess box.
"What is this? A chessboard?"
Looking at the patterns on the chess box, Tang Zongluan raised his eyebrows slightly. Why is this chessboard so strange?
It seems very different from Go.
But what’s the use of just a chessboard?
"This thing is called chess. Grandpa Huang can play with it. It's very interesting."
"Oh? Really? Where is the chess piece?"
Hearing that it was indeed chess, Tang Zongluan immediately became interested.
There are not many entertainment activities in Donghuang Kingdom, and people usually rely on playing chess to relieve boredom, and playing chess is one of the few pleasures that Tang Zongluan has.
"Grandpa Emperor, please look!"
Tang Tianyu smiled when he heard this, slowly reached out and opened the chess box, and the chess piece was inside.
When the box that originally contained the chess pieces was opened, the chessboard appeared before one's eyes.
"Tianyu! Have a talk with me?"
"it is good!"
After saying that, Tang Tianyu sat down and placed the chess pieces on the board one by one.
"What are the rules of this chess game?"
"The rules are very simple. The chess pieces are placed as chariots, horses, generals, cannons at this place, and pawns at this place."
While explaining, Tang Tianyu set up the chessboard on both sides.
"Winning a game means capturing the opponent's general or king. The moves of the chess pieces are: the horse jumps over the sun, the general flies over the field, the cannon flips over the mountain, the chariot moves in a straight line, the scholar moves in a diagonal line, and the pawn can only move forward. After crossing the river, it can move left or right but cannot retreat..."
While listening to Tang Tianyu's explanation, Tang Zongluan gradually understood the mystery of chess, and immediately became eager to try it.
In fact, Tang Tianyu didn't know how to play chess. How long had he been on Blue Star? How could there be so many messes?
Wen Liuli made these to teach him when she was bored. After a while, he gradually realized the fun of it.
"Haha, this chess game is really interesting!"
After understanding the rules, Tang Zonglun took the red piece and moved first, and as soon as he arrived, he moved the pawn three steps forward and one step forward.
Seeing this move, Wen Liuli couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Isn't it usually the front cannon that jumps? A more careful move would go two steps forward and one step forward, but this time it's the middle move, which seems to have no effect at all.
Seeing this, Tang Tianyu shook his head and smiled bitterly, then he used the move of Cannon Two Level Five. Seeing this, Tang Zongluan also followed him and learned the move of Cannon Two Level Five.
"clang!"
The next second, Tang Tianyu used a cannon to capture the chess piece that Tang Zongluan had moved out in the first step.
"General!"
"Depend on!"
Seeing this scene, Wen Liuli couldn't help but twitch his lips in his heart. Is this the fastest general?
When Tang Zonglun saw this, his heart skipped a beat. It seemed that the Nima had really surrendered! So he quickly sent a soldier to block the path of Tang Tianyu's cannon.
Wen Gongliang then used a cannon to level five, forming a double cannon force.
……
In the first game, Tang Zongluan lost the opportunity because of his wrong first step and was defeated soon after.
Looking at his checkmate on the chessboard, he was confused.
Damn it, I was the one on defense the whole time. This kid is so ignorant. I’m a newbie and don’t know how to give in a little?
But because of this, Tang Zongluan's damn competitive spirit came up, and he quickly set up the chessboard and started playing with Tang Tianyu again.
During this afternoon, Tang Tianyu and Tang Zongluan were both staring at the chessboard in front of them, completely unaware that time had passed quietly.
Wen Liuli, who was standing by, was very bored, so she just said hello to the two of them and went to stroll in the back garden.
Of course, Wen Liuli had just arrived, and Tang Zongluan was worried about her wandering around the palace alone, so he sent his eunuch to accompany her.
"Eh? Is this the Imperial Garden? It's so beautiful!"
As she walked, Wen Liuli unknowingly came to a courtyard full of flowers and plants. The courtyard was planted with a variety of plants. Although there were many varieties, it did not look messy at all.
Wen Liuli recognized at a glance that this place was the imperial garden in the inner courtyard of the imperial palace, which was where the emperor and his concubines usually lived.
"To answer your Majesty, this is the back garden of the palace, and over there is the Queen's bedroom, Kunning Palace."
As for the Imperial Garden that Wen Liuli mentioned, it was actually the first time that Eunuch Liu beside him had heard of it. However, just by hearing the name, he knew that it was the same as the Palace Back Garden, so he hurriedly explained.
"The palace garden?"
Wen Liuli had also heard of this name. It seemed that the imperial garden in ancient China was also called this name. It seemed that these emperors had roughly the same idea.
Then she looked in the direction that Eunuch Liu pointed. There was a bedroom there. It looked extremely luxurious and was worthy of being the place where the queen lived.
"Can I come in?"
Considering that there are many rules in the palace, the garden behind the palace doesn't seem to be a place that everyone can set foot in, but she really wants to go in and take a look, it is really beautiful inside.
"The Emperor said that the princess can go anywhere in the palace, including the back garden."
"Oh, then let's go in and take a look."
You know what, the old man is a very nice person.
Walking into the garden behind the palace, Wen Liuli was deeply attracted by the exotic flowers and plants around it. In addition to a variety of flowers and plants, there was also a pond that looked very clear.
