Tao Yao put on her makeup and went to find Gao Yang. She had not forgotten what Murong Fu promised her last night. Regardless of whether he was sincere or not, she had to go and test Gao Yang's attitude first.

When Tao Yao found Gao Yang, he was in the alchemy room making elixirs with the fake Taoist priest.

Tao Yao excitedly rushed over and grabbed Gao Yang's arm, "Father, I want to discuss something with you."

Gao Yang put down the alchemy tools in his hand and looked at her in confusion.

"My son, why are you so flustered? The Taoist priest and I have discovered a good recipe that may actually grant you immortality."

Tao Yao mercilessly shattered his fantasy, "Father, this is all fake. Don't listen to this Taoist priest's nonsense. These pills are useless."

The Taoist priest who was refining medicine nearby broke out in sweat when he heard this. He was indeed lying, but the princess didn't need to be so straightforward. After all, his reputation was still very famous.

"My son, please don't talk nonsense. Seeking the truth for survival has been the norm for emperors since ancient times. Which emperor doesn't want to live forever and prosper for thousands of years?"

Tao Yao felt that Gao Yang had been seriously brainwashed by the old Taoist priest sent by Murong Fu. If there was a real elixir of immortality in this world, wouldn't it be a mess?

Taoyao was not going to continue persuading him, as Gao Yang was beyond saving.

"Father, I came here today because I have something very important to tell you."

Gao Yang saw her serious expression and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. Sure enough, the next second, Tao Yao's words made him completely furious.

"Father, I have fallen in love with Murong Fu and would like to ask you to grant us a marriage."

Gao Yang's subconscious reaction when he heard this was to refuse. How could his precious princess marry Murong Fu, a treacherous and ambitious minister?

"No, anyone can do it, except Murong Fu. Murong Fu is arrogant and puts mercenaries first. How can a man like him be your husband, my son-in-law?"

Tao Yao didn't expect Gao Yang to react so strongly. It seemed that Murong Fu's ambition was known to everyone in the court and the country. Gao Yang just had no way to deal with Murong Fu, but that didn't mean he didn't know about it.

"Father, Murong Fu is not what you think. Besides, after I marry him, he will be your son-in-law. How can a son-in-law think of going against his father-in-law? I will definitely discipline him and stop him from being so presumptuous. Father, please agree to my son's request."

Gao Yang frowned and looked at Tao Yao worriedly.

"Yan'er, you can marry anyone, but your father will never agree to it. Murong Fu is a sinister and cunning person. How do you know that he really likes you and doesn't want to use you to steal the throne of my Daye Dynasty?"

"I promised your mother that I would take good care of you. Even if you never marry, I can still support you and let you be a princess forever."

After Gao Yang finished speaking, he looked at Tao Yao with a sad expression. He regarded Gao Yan as his everything. People said that the imperial family was the most ruthless, but he poured too much affection into Gao Yan, a child, and was afraid that she would be wronged. In these years, there was not even a decent concubine in the harem.

Everyone knows Murong Fulangzi's ambition. If he had a reliable candidate, he would definitely eradicate the Murong family, this poisonous weed.

Tao Yao saw that Gao Yang was so determined that he didn't even leave her any room for maneuver.

She decided to go all out and use her ultimate move.

Tao Yao knelt on the ground with a plop, "Father, I have a deep affection for General Murong and I will marry him in this life. Please grant my wish. If you do not agree, I will kneel down forever."

Gao Yang really didn't expect that she would force him to agree in this way. For the sake of Murong Fu, the treacherous minister, she completely disregarded the relationship between father and daughter.

Gao Yangqi pointed at Tao Yao with trembling fingers, "You, you, Gao Yan, I think you have been spoiled by me. If that's the case, then kneel down. It's time to teach you a lesson, otherwise you will think I am made of paper."

Gao Yang glanced at the palace maid standing nearby who was trying to help Tao Yao up, and yelled.

"Don't help her. If she wants to kneel, let her kneel here."

After saying that, Gao Yang angrily swung his sleeves and strode away, leaving Tao Yao kneeling on the ground.

Tao Yao felt pain in her knees as soon as she knelt down. The original owner had been pampered since childhood, and after kneeling for just a short while, her knees were probably blue. If she really knelt for a few hours, she would probably be crippled.

However, she believed that given how much Gao Yang doted on Gao Yan, he would not really let her stay for several hours.

"Dog system, please talk to me and divert my attention, otherwise I'll be bored to death."

The system silently turned on the TV series on the electronic screen, and then played an extremely melodramatic palace drama, and Tao Yao immediately became alert.

Murong Fu looked at the painting he had just completed. A peerless beauty in purple was standing by a pond, feeding the fish with a handful of fish food in her hand. Looking closely, the woman looked somewhat similar to Gao Yan, but more gentle and lively than Gao Yan.

She wore a pair of bells on her head, which jingled when she moved. Next to her lay a chubby little snow-white animal, which looked at the woman with disgust.

This was a scene he often dreamed of. The woman was lively and agile, and often made trouble in the palace, but her smile made people involuntarily ignore her little mischief.

"Your Highness, I heard that the eldest princess angered His Majesty and was punished to kneel outside the palace and reflect on her actions."

Murong Fu lowered his head and looked into the woman's eyes. He always felt that Gao Yan now was just like the woman in the painting. She had an inexplicable magic that he would never forget after just one look.

This feeling came so fast and violently that he couldn't stop it at all. It was so fast that it made him feel that everything now was just an empty dream, and this dream was specially woven for his delusion. Perhaps when he clarified his intentions and understood what he was thinking in his heart, he would wake up completely from this dream.

"Well, don't interfere for now. With Gao Yang's love for Gao Yan, he won't let her suffer."

Tao Yao finished watching two episodes of the TV series. An hour had passed and she had no feeling in her knees, but Gao Yang still wouldn't let her get up.

"You bastard system, make me look haggard. I want me to look so weak that I'm about to faint. Hurry up."

The system knew that Taoyao was going to act up again, so it immediately bought a weak willow prop for Taoyao to use. Sure enough, the next second, Taoyao's rosy face quickly turned pale.

His eyes were dull and his spirit was weak, and he looked like he was about to faint.

The palace maids standing by were so frightened when they saw this that they didn't know what to do. Everyone in the palace knew that His Majesty doted on the eldest princess the most. His Majesty would feel distressed if the eldest princess lost a hair.

The princess looked like she was about to faint. What would she do if His Majesty blamed her later?

"Hurry and report to His Majesty that the Princess is unwell and is about to faint."
