Chapter 357 Mother’s Grace to the World

In the Taiji Palace, the emperor took a pill and felt a warmth in his Dantian, as if his whole body felt comfortable.

But after feeling comfortable, he was still not satisfied: "Taoist Priest, why can't I still control the wind and rain like you?"

"Your Majesty is practicing the Tao of Immortality, which is different from what I have learned in this Tao. Your Majesty, your mind is confused. You should not be unstable when practicing the Tao."

"But do I want to live a pure and stoic life like before? It's been eight years, and I've long had enough of this kind of life. Can't I still do whatever I want after eight years of practice?"

"Your Majesty, when you reach a certain level of cultivation, you will be able to do whatever you want like an immortal. Please persist a little longer."

The emperor stood up in a sinister tone: "But I don't want to wait any longer. The Taoist priest has always said that I have extraordinary talents. I think these eight years of practice have been enough for me to be happy for decades. After a few decades, I can continue to practice. Not too late."

"Your Majesty... now is a critical moment. Your Majesty, you can't let all your previous efforts go to waste!"

"The Taoist Priest said this before, but I think I'm doing very well now! Taoist Priest doesn't need to say more. If you are worried that all my previous efforts will be wasted, it would be better for the Taoist Priest to go to the Immortal Sect and ask for a few more pills. The Taoist Priest often says Cultivate your mind according to your heart, and come out of seclusion now, this is my true intention."

Taoist Master Qingfeng knew that he could no longer persuade him. In order to prevent His Majesty from becoming suspicious again, he respectfully saluted: "Your Majesty insists on this, and the old Taoist can only obey. In this way, the old Taoist will try his best to refine elixirs for Your Majesty to avoid the turbid air." Enter the body.”

After hearing this, the emperor relaxed his eyebrows and said: "Taoist priest should have been like this a long time ago."

That night, Song Xia heard the news, and all the palaces and previous dynasties were worried.

"Mother, why do you seem unhappy?"

Concubine Li couldn't sleep, so she simply got up and said, "What should I be so happy about?"

"Your Majesty loves your Majesty the most. Once your Majesty is released, your Majesty's wish to become a concubine may come true."

"When did I..." Libi started to get dressed, "That was in the past, I think there is nothing wrong with it now."

She was even annoyed. If His Majesty came to her palace, wouldn't she have to serve her carefully? After so many years in the palace, she found that these eight years were the most relaxing days, even more comfortable than when she was at her parents' home. .

Although she was dissatisfied at first, she had to admit that the queen was a very fair and generous person. She never paid attention to their provocations and even made many novel gadgets for them in order to prevent them from being bored.

Even her prince was well-educated. After winning the last battle, the prince had a high reputation among the generals in the court. Now he was taken by General Zhuang to teach him personally. She had never thought about it. His own prince could actually infiltrate the border army one day. Those were the soldiers led by Concubine Zhuang's father!

At this point, she has no intention of fighting for hegemony anymore, because even her mother clan, Cuidi, is now prosperous and no longer relies solely on tribute gems for a living. It is said to be a vassal state, but her brother said that Cuidi is now extremely prosperous. Most of the people have a desire to surrender and want to completely become a part of Xuanguo.

There seems to be nothing wrong with this. After all, the Queen has agreed that if Cuidi completely surrenders, then Cuidi will still be under the jurisdiction of her brother, and the jurisdiction will be hereditary for three generations. If His Majesty continues to be in power, the life of the people of Cuidi will definitely not be as easy as it is now. If the Queen had not sent people to deliver food during the last drought, the people of Cuidi might not have been able to hold on and could only wait to be swallowed up.

"Your Majesty...since I can't sleep, why not think about what to wear tomorrow."

"Tomorrow is not a special day, so why bother thinking about this?" Li Bin curled her lips in disgust.

The palace maid was stunned. This was the last time His Majesty had finally left the Tai Chi Palace. In the past, the Empress would have wished His Majesty came every night.

"Zidi, please remember my words. From now on, this harem will be respected by the Queen. As I get older, Your Majesty may not be willing to come to our Changle Palace. If Your Majesty doesn't come, we don't have to look forward to it."

"Yes, ma'am."

After Concubine Li finished speaking, she even thought with disgust, "Your Majesty has been pure and celibate for so many years, and it's not certain whether he can stand up, so why should he bother himself?" The prince is old enough and already has a place in the court, so why bother planning for that illusory position anymore? And you may not win in the end.

After all, several ministers have already stood behind the queen and the eldest prince. Concubine Shu and Concubine Zhen have already switched sides. Now even Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Xian may have lost their minds. If everyone squeezes up, she and the emperor will not agree. There must be some hope, but now she doesn't dare to gamble.

What's the point of fighting over and over again? Were the days in the past as easy as now? Even the emperor is much happier than before. With this in mind, he might as well be like Concubine Zhuang and start looking for a princess for the emperor.

The eldest prince is also eighteen years old. I don’t know when the queen will choose a princess for him. If the eldest prince is not married, it will be difficult for the younger one to get married.

However, even the imperial doctor said that it was too early and was not good for both men and women. They should start looking for each other first and wait two years before getting married. Now they are looking forward to His Majesty's release from seclusion. Don't randomly recommend marriages to the children. She was pregnant at that time. I can't help myself, now I just want the emperor to find a close person.

Outside the palace, after hearing the news that His Majesty will leave tomorrow, the lights of the Prime Minister's Mansion, which had been turned off, were brightly lit for less than a quarter of an hour. The ministers coming and going were discussing how to clean up the traces of the Queen's review, and to guard against those who had been wavering and had different thoughts. The courtiers gave advice to His Majesty.

These eight years can be said to be the most comfortable eight years since they became ministers. Everyone no longer needs to worry and be afraid, and can only focus on applying their abilities to political affairs. They have witnessed with their own eyes how the people's lives have improved. All this can be said It's all thanks to the Queen.

If the empress had not come up with new grains, the people in the disaster areas would not have been able to recuperate and rebuild as quickly as possible. If it had not been for the empress reforming the promotion system, the government and the public would not have been able to eliminate the cancer and gradually become clear. If it had not been for the empress allowing women to participate in social production , the economic conditions of their declared country will not be as favorable and strong as they are now, and local governments such as the Border Southland will all become more and more stable under the influence of the empress.

It can be said that the empress is in power because of the people's wishes, but all this is done behind His Majesty's back. If His Majesty knows about it, wouldn't it cause trouble?

After all, although they were loyal to the Empress, for the sake of convenience, the achievements of the Empress were not publicized. All orders were made secretly, and many troops were loyal to His Majesty. If His Majesty pursued the case, things would be difficult to handle.

Why is it that your Majesty suddenly wants to leave seclusion when everything is fine?

After eight years of not managing the affairs of the court, if he is still suspicious, wouldn't he need to be operated on to regain his former prestige? After all, with his previous temperament, he could definitely do it.

At this time, the emperor did not know that there were not many people in the former dynasty or the harem who wanted him to return to power.
