Keqing, it’s just cultivating immortality, is it that difficult?

I saw him shaking his head.

"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. Not only will it not benefit you, but it will also cause disasters..."

"Why!?"

The emperor frowned slightly. He thought that Zhiquan might be able to come up with some insights, but the insights he expected would not cause any trouble.

"Isn't it said to be a lucky star? How can there be any disaster?"

"Your Majesty, you know that the sun moves when it is at its highest point, the moon wanes when it is full, and things decline when they flourish." Zhiquan said leisurely, "As the saying goes, everything that flourishes must decline. Your Majesty is the true dragon emperor, and you are surrounded by dragon energy. You are already blessed, and adding more blessings is useless. And that lucky star is also a star from heaven, and it has an extraordinary origin. It is more of a blessing than a disaster for the Great Zhou."

"Of course, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. If the lucky star falls on the Great Zhou, the people of the world will bear the blessing, but if it falls on the royal family, then only the royal family can bear it. Saint, you have the dragon's energy to protect your body, so you don't have to worry, but others may not be able to do so."

"Everyone has his own destiny, and the heaven has his own destiny. Destiny can be light or heavy. Saint, your destiny is heavy and you can bear enough blessings. However, others do not have as heavy a destiny as you. Too much blessing will only make their destiny thinner and difficult to bear..."

"You mean... this lucky star can't enter the royal family, otherwise it will only bring disaster?"

The emperor was somewhat unconvinced. He looked at Zhiquan with a scrutinizing gaze and said in a cold voice.

He wondered if Zhiquan was a lobbyist hired by the disciples from the aristocratic families. Could it be that the people from the aristocratic families knew his thoughts?

Facing that voice, Zhiquan remained calm and just said.

"Not only the royal family, but any family cannot afford the luck of the lucky star, otherwise their lives will become lighter and lighter, and they will be crushed by too much blessing."

"This is also what the old monk felt at that moment. The group leader and group six and nine have a connection with Buddha. The lucky star brings prosperity to the world but not to themselves. No one in the world can bear the blessing of the lucky star, and can only end up lonely for the rest of their lives. Our Buddhist sect emphasizes not entering the secular world and not getting married, so the Buddha nature belongs to our Buddhist sect."

The scrutiny in his eyes faded, and after hearing Zhiquan's words, the emperor's suspicions were reduced a little.

After all, if Zhiquan were to speak for those aristocratic families, he would not say that.

Now it seems more like Zhiquan has selfish motives and wants to bring that lucky star into Buddhism.

The emperor smiled in his heart, and his cold eyes were filled with smiles again, and he said jokingly.

"If you say so, then the Minister's Mansion can't afford it, right?"

"That's different. Minister Liao and his wife are great good people for ten generations. They are very virtuous, so they are blessed to be born into this world without being disturbed."

"However, even with such merits, it is difficult to bear the decision of Fuxing and be oppressed by Fuxing. Otherwise, why is Fuxing, who is so smart, still a mere minister?"

Of course I didn't let him get promoted!

The emperor thought to himself.

But on second thought, the reason why Liao Quan couldn't be promoted was because Keqing was too famous. If I promoted him, wouldn't he be able to use Keqing's name to form his own faction?

It seems that Keqing has indeed suppressed her father, otherwise she might have promoted Liao Quan in the next few years.

After all, someone who looks so pleasing to the eye and isn't troublesome is a pleasure to behold.

If it weren't for Keqing, perhaps, possibly, Liao Quan would have been promoted.

Thinking of this, His Majesty began to think about it.

"You said that the princess is a lucky star, and this luck is still awakening. Only the people of the entire Great Zhou can share this luck and avoid backlash. Is this true?"

"It couldn't be more true..."

Zhiquan closed his eyes and clasped his hands together.

"Oh? Then why do I feel that you want the princess to convert to Buddhism?"

"Your Majesty, you are joking. In Buddhism, we believe in fate and voluntariness. Since the princess has no such intention, then the Buddhist temple is naturally out of her destiny."

"Besides, I misjudged the fortune of the lucky star before. I am afraid that my Buddhist temple cannot bear the great fortune of the lucky star."

Seeing that the emperor seemed to be lost in thought, Zhiquan lowered his eyelids.

"Since you said that the princess is a lucky star, with great fortunes that only the people of the Great Zhou can share, then why has the Great Zhou been plagued by disasters and natural disasters year after year?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone. Zhiquan's heart skipped a beat. He really was expected by that guy. He remained expressionless and chanted the Buddha's name calmly.

"Amitabha--"

"As I said before, the lucky star has blessings, so

The Great Zhou has suffered from natural disasters for many years, but only the capital has good weather and good harvests. This is the power of the lucky star."

"You know, the south is a water town. If there is a sudden drought here, how can the capital be immune?"

The emperor paused and said, yes, the south is a water town, and the capital is located further to the north.

The south is suffering from drought, so why is the capital city fine?

"Since the princess was born, she has made extraordinary achievements, and her blessings have spread from the capital to all directions. Therefore, although natural disasters have occurred frequently in the Great Zhou, the capital remains stable. This is also the power of the lucky star..."

When the emperor heard Zhiquan say this, he felt a little unhappy, because it sounded as if the reason why the Great Zhou could survive until now was not because of him, the emperor, but because of a little girl. How absurd and ironic this was.

However, even so, he could not help but admit that if it were not for Keqing's various achievements that enriched the national treasury and increased tax revenues in various places, the successive natural disasters might have really crushed the entire court.

Even the disaster relief was the other party's idea, to build a monument of merit to encourage merchants to voluntarily donate for disaster relief.

Even recently, he could occasionally hear the people under his rule praising the princess's good name, and he, the emperor, became a joke.

Probably all people in high positions don't like someone who is more famous than themselves, the kind that would cheer for them, even if it's a girl.

If it weren't for this, His Majesty would not have thought of bringing the other party into the palace.

"So, the princess can't join the royal family?"

"No... There can't be two tigers in one mountain. If Your Majesty forcibly accepts the lucky star into the palace, it will bring disaster. Judging from Your Majesty's face, this blessing seems to have the potential to suppress the dragon spirit."

When the emperor heard Zhiquan say this, his face turned dark instantly.

He is the true dragon emperor. It is a joke that a mere little girl can suppress him.

"Oh, then I'd like to see what the trouble is."

Even after Zhiquan said this, he still didn't believe it. He wanted to see what kind of trouble it was. After hearing this, the emperor instantly became rebellious.

In the end, he still didn't believe it. He didn't believe Zhiquan, nor did he believe in the so-called lucky star. Are there really fairies in the world? Is there a God? He didn't believe it.

The higher the position and the more power a person holds, the more unbridled self-confidence he or she has.

Zhiquan didn't say anything when he saw this. Looking at the emperor's attitude, he was secretly shocked in his heart. He thought that the little girl had guessed it right. He just didn't know why she wanted to anger the emperor.

What good will this do for her? Doesn’t she want to join the royal family?

"It's time. I'll take my leave now."

Shaking his sleeves, the emperor left in an unhappy mood, while on the other side, the courtyard where Keqing was received a large number of rewards.

Rare and precious treasures, such as the Hebi Suizhu, were given as rewards without charge.

It was said that the Queen Mother was delighted and gave special rewards to Princess Ke.

Looking at the maids in the yard, they secretly smacked their lips.

Even the emperor's concubines couldn't help but feel jealous. Why did Keqing receive so many rewards?

Before anyone knew, rumors spread that the emperor liked Princess Keqing and wanted to marry her. The news caused an uproar and the concubines in the harem were jealous!

But no matter how jealous they were, there was nothing they could do. The people in Huifang Courtyard were all the emperor's men, and they were strictly guarded. Even if they did something, there was nothing they could do.

"Is Your Majesty so quick to act? She is just a little girl. Does Your Majesty really want to hand over the throne to such a little girl?"

In Shoukang Palace, Nanny Kang, who was massaging the empress dowager's legs and feet, heard the gossip from the eunuchs outside. She looked at the empress dowager who was squinting at the side and couldn't help but remind her.

"Master, what should we do?"

"What can I do? What else can I do? Do you think I can control it..."

Queen Mother Suning raised her eyes slightly, looking indifferent.

"But Minister Su had sent a message earlier, asking the queen to bring the eldest lady into the harem... The eldest lady is definitely not eyeing a mere concubine position..."

"Oh, he hasn't figured out the situation yet. Now is not the time for me to be in power. The emperor has no right to be controlled by me..."

Suning nodded slightly and said nonchalantly.

"The kid has grown up, he's capable, he's independent, what can I do? Besides, I'm not his biological mother, I don't have much affection for him, I can't control him."

"It's true that the Su family is my family, but you don't have to speak too much for them. Since I entered the palace, I have become unfamiliar with my family. As the saying goes, a woman must obey her husband after she marries. This family... is just like that."

"Oh, they look for me whenever they want to reap the benefits. They really take all the benefits."

The Queen Mother said disdainfully and waved her hand.

"After that, everyone from the Su family turned away people and said I was sick."

"No, the others also refused..."

Not only Shoukang Palace, but other palaces were also full of discussions.

Even the Third Prince Zhou Xin, who usually didn't discuss gossip much, came over.

"What's going on? Is the rumor outside true? My brother wants to marry you."

Unlike when he was a child, Zhou Xin, with a solemn and cold face, hurried out of Beitianwei and came to Huifangyuan.

People came in a hurry, expecting to see anxious and panicked looks, but when they looked, they saw the person sitting in the courtyard reading a book, as if nothing had happened, calm and composed as if he was unaffected by anything.

Chapter 529: Ready to Make a Move (4000)

"The Third Prince?"

Keqing looked up and saw Zhou Xin

surprised.

"How did you come……"

"Why, I can't come?"

Zhou Xin snorted. When he learned that his brother had married someone, he rushed over without a moment's delay. He thought he would see someone's anxious and flustered look, but it turned out that the person was not in a hurry. Instead, he, an outsider, was as anxious as the person involved.

After glancing at Keqing, Zhou Xin sat down unceremoniously on a stone bench nearby.

"What are you thinking? Do you really want to be my sister-in-law?"

Zhou Xin casually said this and picked up the teapot beside him and poured himself a pot of tea, ready to drink it all in one gulp.

"Well...it's not impossible..."

"puff--"

Hearing Keqing say this, he subconsciously spat out a mouthful of tea.

Keqing quickly opened her eyes and looked at him with disdain.

"Are you serious!?"

"fake."

"Phew, I was so scared. I really thought you were going to marry my brother..."

Zhou Xin twitched his lips. If Keqing really became his sister-in-law in the future, he would be really worried that his brother would be angry to death or beaten to death.

After all, this guy is very violent. How could he not know about it if others don't know it?

He still vividly remembers the hard days of rigorous training, and the memory of a pair of seven or eight-year-old children beating him, a teenager, to the ground without any chance of fighting back is still deeply impressed and unforgettable.

If this guy really became the queen.

"Ah~"

I shudder just thinking about it.

"I feel like you're thinking of something rude again."

"No! That's your illusion." Zhou Xin shrank his head. He was still a little worried about Keqing. After all, facing a person who was unable to resist and made him lose face, he still had a big psychological shadow. "Then what are you going to do? Brother, you have the final say."

"You said... you really don't want to be the queen?" Zhou Xin glanced at Keqing who was pursing her lips in silence, and opened his mouth, "In fact, it would be nice for you to be the queen. After all, she is the queen, and she is on an equal footing with my brother. If you want, I can help you..."

"it's out of the question."

Keqing interrupted Zhou Xin's next words.

"Do you think I would be like them, trapped in this small world, with only one person in my heart, and only this small world in my heart?"

Looking at the scorching eyes, Zhou Xin sneered.

"Yeah, how could you be that kind of person?"

That's why he was worried. He was worried that marrying a wife would cost him his life. If he woke up one day, the queen was gone, or his brother was gone. That would be troublesome.

Zhou Xin didn't know about others, but didn't the person in front of him know it? He looked honest and obedient, but in fact, he was the most disrespectful person.
