A family of three travels through time together, and the golden finger is turned on
Chapter 52 The Prince Wants to Cultivate Immortality
Concubine Yu said that this son was not absolutely necessary, and she took Qingying aside for a warm chat. After a while, the meal was served, and Yongzheng arrived. The family of four had a reunion dinner. They discussed the follow-up matters. Then, they received a message that Prince Bao had entered the palace.
"Your Majesty, I will take my leave now."
"Well, go ahead." Without keeping them any longer, Hong Zhou and Qing Ying prepared to leave the palace. They happened to run into Prince Bao Hong Li in the Imperial Garden.
"Fourth Brother" Hong Zhou took the initiative to step forward and greet.
"Qingying."
"Fourth brother." Calling your brother's wife by her maiden name in public is a bit too much.
"Fifth brother is going to leave the palace." Hongli came back to his senses.
"Yes, we have already met the Emperor and Mother. Fourth brother, you want to go see Empress Xi, right? Then we will leave first." Qingying did not say a word throughout the whole process. She just followed Hong Zhou obediently and saluted Hongli.
In the end, they passed each other. Qingying, who had long ago taken the marrow cleansing pill, was now so beautiful that Hongli could not take his eyes off her. Although Qingying did not look at him, Hongli saw her slightly red eyes. As they passed by, he saw crystal tears glittering in the corners of her eyes, which she quickly wiped away in panic. Hongli stood there for a long time, unable to recover.
"Qingying." Hongli murmured softly.
"Your Highness, it's time to go." Wang Qin stepped forward to remind him. Hongli then hurried to Concubine Xi.
Time slowly moved on, and a month passed in a flash. Sixth Prince Hongyan finally passed away, and Concubine Xi fell ill with grief. Hongli spent every day at her bedside, showing filial piety. But Concubine Xi still passed away.
"Your Majesty, if I don't attend court, I won't be able to do anything. I am sure I will be able to take on the important task." In the Yangxin Palace, Hong Zhou hugged Yongzheng's thigh and started to have fun in front of Yongzheng's trusted ministers.
"What are you going to do if you don't attend court? Now that you're married, it's time for you to come to court and help me share my worries."
"No, Father Emperor, I have already promised my wife that I will take her to cultivate immortality!"
"You, outrageous."
"Your Majesty, please agree to this son. Anyway, I have never been familiar with state affairs since I was young. Your Majesty, if I can succeed in Taoism, will my Qing Dynasty not be able to last for thousands of years? This son is doing what he is good at." Hong Zhou said with confidence.
"You, you are so presumptuous! If you dare to go, I will strip you of your title."
"Your Majesty, I thank you. I will take my leave now and move to Caixia Garden tomorrow. I will definitely not be a bother to Your Majesty!" Hong Zhou left quickly.
"This traitor!"
From that day on, the story of Prince Heqin, who refused his title and was determined to take his wife to cultivate immortality, spread throughout the Qing Dynasty. It became a topic of conversation among the people, with the daily question being, "Did Prince Heqin become an immortal today?"
On the first day of August, Hongli got married. Hongzhou was invited to attend with Qingying. Although they didn't become immortals, their temperaments did change drastically, and they looked quite ethereal. Hongli's eyes widened when he saw Qingying, but Qingying didn't even glance at him, as if she had truly become a fairy with no desires or demands.
Thunder rumbled occasionally in Caixia Garden, and the area was filled with rosy clouds all day. Everyone was saying that Prince He and his wife might have truly achieved spiritual enlightenment. A banquet was held in the palace on New Year's Eve, and Hong Zhou and Qing Ying were summoned back to the palace.
"Father, today is New Year's Eve, and I have a happy event to report."
"explain."
"I, your son, have learned from the immortals that cowpox can prevent and treat smallpox." Hong Zhou presented it with both hands. Su Peisheng personally came over to take it and presented it to Yongzheng.
"Here, there really is an immortal?"
"That can't be right. There have been many emperors throughout history who have sought immortality, but how come only we and the prince can do it?"
"Then why are we and the prince the only ones who received the immortal's advice? That's a cure for smallpox."
For a moment, everyone at the banquet was whispering to each other. Yongzheng took the memorial.
“This method is true.”
"Your Majesty, please send someone to examine it immediately. There is a cow with smallpox in my garden." Hong Zhou said.
"Okay, if you are serious, I will restore your princely title and allow you to hold the position concurrently."
"Father, I am destined to be an immortal and will never be burdened by the mundane world."
"Okay, okay, if you really take this method seriously, I will give you a Taoist temple!"
"Thank you, Emperor, for your grace!"
After several months of testing, this method proved to be truly effective, highly refined, and minimally risky. Yongzheng immediately promoted it vigorously. Prince Hongzhou's reputation soared, with many praising his true destiny as a true immortal.
A year later, Hong Zhou presented Yongzheng with an elixir. After taking it, Yongzheng truly regained his youth, seemingly a dozen years younger. Prince Yi, bedridden and preparing for his death, took the elixir presented by Hong Zhou, and all his ailments vanished. He regained his health, looking like the high-spirited Thirteenth Prince he had once been.
Many people went to Caixia Garden to seek medicine. But Caixia Garden was no ordinary garden. Thunder rumbled, clouds and fog covered the mountains, and ordinary people could not even reach the edge. Hongli also went to look for it several times, but it was clearly there, but he would disappear after wandering around.
Common people worshipped him as a true immortal. Occasionally, some would even enter the garden and receive medicine. As the story of the Qing prince's successful cultivation spread, the prestige of the Qing imperial family reached its peak, and the anti-Qing and pro-Ming White Lotus Sect vanished.
Ten years later, Yongzheng and Prince Yi joined forces and pulled out their imprisoned brothers, sending them to fight or edit books, keeping them busy. With Hongzhou's elixir to protect them, each of them was more vigorous than a young man.
There is no such thing as closing the country to the outside world. There can only be one Qing Dynasty in the entire East. If we try harder, there can only be one country in the entire earth.
"Fourth brother, please let me meet my nephew Hong Zhou. I think he and I definitely have something in common."
"What are you going to see? I can't see him. He's grown strong now, so he's the only one who can find me. Go away, stay away, Lao Jiu. I let you out here, not let you throw a tantrum!"
There are so many people who want to see Hong Zhou, who do you think you are?
And in Caixia Garden, the only one who truly practices hard is Qingying. Hongzhou just eats peaches and pills every day, and is a foodie!
"I've already told you that eating a peach is equivalent to a hundred years of hard training, yet you still insist on practicing every day."
"It's so rare to have the time, and you're such a great teacher. I have to learn all this stuff thoroughly. No matter how much stuff you have, I can't always accompany you on missions. Besides, if I get used to external things, I'll be at a loss if I encounter a situation like before where I can't use them. You're free now because you're capable."
"Look at what you said. You've already completed so many tasks, and you still don't know anything? You should relax when it's time to relax."
"Of course it's different. I was in the lower world before, and the best I could do was become a craftsman. If I could easily make marrow cleansing pills like you, I wouldn't be afraid of anything. Now I have the opportunity to practice, so of course I have to seize the time. After this, I will go to the middle world."
"I'm not asking you to indulge in pleasure, but Yingzi, you still have a mission. It's been more than ten years. In a few years, Hongli will start to get old, and he still has to ascend the throne."
"Ah, I was so engrossed in cultivation that I actually forgot about it. I don't know what's going on with that guy now."
"······Can you be more reliable? If you stay any longer, you're really going to take over the world."
"Okay, okay, I'll go check on Hongli tomorrow to see what's going on. I haven't seen him in over ten years, so he must have forgotten everything about the wall. It's just right that I can appear in front of him with a brand new attitude. He's old, and I'm still young. Let's go and act out a loving couple scene for him tomorrow."
"I knew it would have to be me."
"Yes, yes, what would I do without you?"
"Hmph~~~"
Qingying immediately stepped forward, rubbing his shoulders and legs, so attentive. Hong Zhou, of course, enjoyed it. After all, he was going to be a tool.
The next day, the two of them woke up early, dressed freshly, and appeared directly at the palace gate using a teleportation talisman. This shocked the civil and military officials waiting to attend the court.
"Paying respects to the Prince of Heqin" is more active than paying respects to the emperor.
Hong Zhou just raised his hand slightly, and these ministers felt a breeze lifting them up.
It's magic!
"The Emperor has decreed that the Prince of He can enter the palace immediately without any notification."
Hong Zhou brought Qing Ying into the palace. They seemed to be moving very slowly, but they disappeared in the blink of an eye. The people behind them immediately knelt down to pay their respects. This was not a magical act. Hong Zhou stayed with Concubine Yu to talk to Concubine Yu and Yongzheng, while Qing Ying took people to pick flowers in the Plum Garden.
"Qingying."
"Greetings, Fourth Brother. Please respect yourself." This true plum blossom fairy must have captivated you. As they gazed at each other, only two tears fell. Ultimately, they were not destined to be together.
"Qingying." Hongzhou appeared at the right time when he heard Qingying's call.
"Fourth brother."
"Fifth brother is hard to see nowadays."
"Brother, since you have obtained the fate of becoming an immortal, you should work hard. If you can achieve enlightenment one day, you can protect our Qing Dynasty for eternity. To be honest, you also benefited from the help of the concubine. When you were young, you were ignorant and naive, and your knowledge was far inferior to that of your fourth brother. Fortunately, you have a virtuous wife now, so you have this opportunity." Hong Zhou smiled and took Qingying's hand.
"Fourth brother, Qingying and I have something else to do, so we won't keep you any longer." Hong Zhou and Qingying looked at each other, their affectionate and harmonious demeanor truly a perfect couple that everyone envied. He watched them gradually walk away.
It's his, it should all be his, whether it's Qingying or Xianyuan, it should all be his!
Hongli was furious when he returned to the mansion, but the second prince, Yonglian, was ill and on the verge of death. No matter how Fucha Langya begged him, Hongli remained unmoved and refused to ask Hongzhou for medicine. Fucha Langya was at her wit's end.
She couldn't bear to see Yonglian die like this. After Hongli left, she prepared a carriage, carried Yonglian, and headed to Erxian Garden, also known as Caixia Garden. Because Hongzhou and Qingying, who now lived there, were no different from immortals in the eyes of mortals, this place was called Erxian Garden.
"Prince Heqin, Fifth Brother, please grant me the elixir to save Yonglian."
