Your Majesty, it's polite

On the morning of the fourth day, he finally arrived at Mount Hua, and everyone entered the hotel to rest.

Tang Yunshu got out of the carriage and looked up at the towering Huashan Mountain. It was extremely majestic, and the top of the mountain was still covered with snow, which formed a strong contrast with the emerald green below. Life and holiness existed at the same time.

The courtyard where Tang Yunshu lived was with Grand Tutor Quan, and Xiao Changdao also squeezed in later.

Unexpectedly, he saw the married princess Huaishu, and everyone chatted again.

It was a woman after all, and she returned to her courtyard without daring to stay for long.

After resting and sleeping well, it was already noon when he woke up, His Majesty sent a message for him to have dinner.

Tang Yunshu went with Xiao Changdao, and there were a lot of people sitting in the hall, the empress dowager, the emperor, the empress, and several concubines and princes.

The prince is also among them. He likes Tang Yunshu very much in getting along these days.

Seeing him, he couldn't help but smile.

Tang Yunshu nodded silently at him, and then the queen mother and others saluted

The Empress Dowager glanced at him casually, remained silent, and continued talking to Liang Zhen who was beside her.

The emperor raised his hand and smiled, "How is Yun Shu resting?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. The minister is in excellent health and is fine."

"That's good." The emperor glanced at the queen mother and said with a smile, "You should take your seat quickly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Tang Yunshu sat beside Xiao Changdao, next to the emperor, the crown prince and princes sat casually.

Tang Yunshu unexpectedly discovered that the fourth prince was not there.

Seemingly seeing his doubts, Xiao Changdao said proudly: "That kid Xiao Tao was punished, and he is still copying the Tao Te Ching in the palace."

Tao Te Ching?

Tang Yunshu was surprised, what kind of mistake did he make, asking a child of a few years old to copy the Tao Te Ching.

But he didn't ask much, it's none of his business.

Tang Yunshu picked up the chopsticks and took the wine poured by Xiao Changdao, his movements were very natural.

Seeing this, the empress dowager at the next table was so angry that she would break the chopsticks in her hand.

Liang Zhen served the Empress Dowager with vegetables, and said with a gentle smile, "Empress Dowager, these bamboo shoots are not bad, they are crisp and delicious, try them."

The queen mother turned her head to look at her beautiful and gentle face, and finally smiled: "I have a heart."

"Thank you Queen Mother for your compliment." The moment he lowered his head to drink the soup, Liang Zhen couldn't hide the satisfaction in his eyes.

She has always been smart, so she knows how much the Queen Mother really likes her.

Just comparing her with Tang Yunshu who is a man, I have the upper hand.

No matter how Tang Yunshu wins Prince Jiu's heart, he will not be able to bear children.

And she's a woman, and she can.

Tang Yunshu raised his wine glass to respect the emperor and Xiao Changdao, and everyone drank and laughed happily.

After dinner, Tang Yunshu, the emperor, and Xiao Changdao strolled around the garden in the hotel.

In the garden full of spring, surrounded by flowers, the fragrance is overflowing, and the fresh air makes people feel refreshed.

Looking up, you can see the majestic and majestic peaks of Huashan Mountain, hidden in the thick fog, like a fairyland, like a picture scroll, dazzlingly beautiful.

The emperor laughed and said, "Every time I come to Huashan Mountain, I am amazed."

Xiao Changdao stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Towering into the clouds, the majestic and majestic cliffs really make people marvel at the ingenious craftsmanship of heaven."

"There are thousands of beautiful things in the world, all from the hands of heaven, and you can see them everywhere you are surprised."

Tang Yunshu came to Huashan for the first time, and he had never been there, but he also read many beautiful descriptions about it in the book.

No matter how good the writing is, there is no real shock to see it in reality.

Tang Yunshu never thought that one day he would be able to come to Huashan, the holy place in the eyes of everyone in Dachao.

Xiao Changdao and Tang Yunshu said: "I'll play with you up the mountain later. The Wuji Temple on the top is very magnificent. There is a Taoist priest who is very interesting."

"Okay."

It is said that the sacrifice will be very tiring, Tang Yunshu thought about it before coming, and played before it started.

His words hit his chest.

Having said that, Xiao Changdao couldn't wait any longer. He turned his head and happened to see a courtier appearing, and hurriedly said to the emperor, "The people from the Ministry of Rites must be looking for His Majesty for tomorrow's sacrificial offering. Let me walk around with Yun Shu first, and see Look at the scenery."

The emperor smiled secretly, nodded and watched them leave.

Tang Yunshu went out of the hotel with him, and the two of them were not in a hurry, they walked slowly through the huge square, admiring the various carved statues at the foot of the mountain.

The sculptors of the statues are somewhat rough and delicate, but they are gentle, with different shapes, the only thing in common is that they all have kind eyes, watching all living beings.

Walking towards the outside of the steps, the steps are hidden in the clouds and mist, the refreshing wind blows the cuffs, and it is very comfortable to be in the sun.

Xiao Changdao pointed to the steps ahead with a smile, and said, "I didn't understand when I was young. Once my father brought me here, and when I climbed to that place, I just lay down and didn't leave. Later, the emperor couldn't see it and dragged me went up."

"Emperor brother?"

"The first emperor." Xiao Chang knew he was puzzled, and said with a smile: "The emperor is a few years older than me, but his strength is infinite."

Speaking of this, Xiao Changdao seems to have fallen into some bad memories: "I was weak and sick when I was born. Later, my father tried my best to hire famous doctors from all over the world to cure me. So when I was young, my bones were really not good. Fourteen or five years old , but not as strong as the five or six-year-old brother. The wild Taoist above is right, maybe it’s because God wants to keep my life safe and let me be like this.”

"learn."

Xiao Changdao was the sixth son of the Taizu emperor, born of the empress, but because of his frailty and sickness, he could not inherit the throne.

There was a change before, seven or eight princes died, but he was weak and lived well. Later, the first emperor was born, unexpectedly strong and strong. His majesty is old, so he is very wise to take the child to his queen to raise him up. , Only then did the Xiao family survive.

It has to be said that some things are really meant to be.

At that time, the surviving princes of Emperor Taizu, except for those born later, only lived for four to adulthood.

But among them, the first emperor was particularly outstanding, ascending to the throne of God in one fell swoop.

There are not many sons, as long as there is one who can stand up to the door, that is the luck of the world, but such a great luck was met by Taizu.

Xiao Changdao patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Let me tell you, Yan Lang was very cute when he was a child, he had a mature temper, he liked to pretend to be an adult even though he was young, exactly the same as the prince at that time and His Majesty now. Oh, you don’t know, when the two of them first went up Mount Hua, they made me laugh to death. They were so scared to death of the long steps, but they all pretended to be indifferent, climbed up the top abruptly, panting from exhaustion, sweating a lot."

Tang Yunshu smiled and said, "It's a pity, I didn't see it at that time."

Tang Yunshu was inexplicably excited when he thought of Ting innocently looking at the thousand steps with his small and delicate face.

Little Yan Lang must be extremely cute and interesting.

It's a pity that I didn't meet him when I was a child, and missed the opportunity to laugh at him.

Xiao Changdao walked up slowly with him, and at the end of the cloud and mist was a solemn and solemn Taoist temple, with ancient pine roots and eaves standing still, and the gossip diagram on the wall revealed a sense of Liao Cang.

At this time, there were many soldiers guarding the temple. To be precise, the Taoist temple was stationed by soldiers from the day of the sacrifice, and the people below could not offer incense for the time being.

It can only be opened again after the end of the sacrifice tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Xiao Changdao took Tang Yunshu into the Taoist temple, offered incense to all the gods and Taoists, and then walked up a long corridor with him to the back mountain.

The back mountain is quiet and elegant, with exquisite pines and bamboos everywhere, as well as flowers raised by Taoist priests, it is a pleasure to walk around.

Many Taoist priests are making preparations before the sacrifice, busy everywhere.

Not only them, but also the people from the Ritual Department were so busy that they forgot to salute when they came and went.

Xiao Changdao didn't take it seriously, he was used to this situation every time he sacrificed.

Tang Yunshu soon saw the Taoist priest he was talking about. He was tall and thin, with white beard and white eyebrows, and he was meditating.

Xiao Changdao raised his hand: "Pick up the way."

Shidao slowly opened his eyes, smiled lightly when he saw them, and put his legs down.

"Brother Daoist, you are in good spirits."

After finishing speaking, Qingming looked at Tang Yunshu with calm and gentle eyes.

Just a look in his eyes can make people feel at ease, Tang Yunshu thought, this Taoist priest's Taoism is really profound.

"Of course I'm not bad." Xiao Changdao sat down beside him, put his arms around his shoulders and pointed at Tang Yunshu, "Who knows this?"

Shi Dao said with a smile: "With such a phoenix god and dragon appearance, he must be the most beautiful man in the world, Qingyangbo Tang Yunshu."

"Sight." Thumbs up at him, Xiao Changdao and Tang Yunshu smiled and said, "I never told him that you are Tang Yunshu, you are amazing."

Tang Yunshu made a bow: "The Taoist master is a god, and the younger generation admires it."

Shidao shook his head, stroked his beard and smiled, "It's just that I heard him calling you Yun Shu from a distance, so I guessed it."

Pfft, Tang Yunshu almost laughed out loud at these words, this Taoist priest is so cheerful, easy-going and comfortable to get along with.

At this time, Xiaodao brought hot tea and put it on the stone table next to him.

"Thank you." Tang Yunshu thanked with a smile after receiving the tea from the little Taoist priest.

Shidao looked at Tang Yunshu with a smile, and said in a gentle voice, "This is made from the water in the snow pond on the top of Mount Hua. The tea is also Yunhong grown by ourselves. Uncle, you can try it."

Tang Yunshu pursed his mouth, and then his eyes lit up.

The bitterness of this tea reveals its coolness, and as soon as you take a sip, it immediately gives people a boost of energy.

“Good tea!”

Huashan is worthy of being a famous mountain and holy place, and indeed tea is a good thing.

Xiao Chang said with a smile: "You don't know, Yan Lang wanted to come last month, who did you ask for?"

Tang Yunshu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled when Wan Er thought of something.

No wonder, I heard Mingyue and Ting say that there is no more tea and they will have to wait for the next year.

Shidao put down his teacup and said with a smile: "The prince came to look for it before, saying he wanted some to go back. Coincidentally, there is only a little left. I really can't get it out, so I think I will get more in the next year. There is a tea garden behind us. There are only a few taels of cloud tea every year, which is really very little.”

"Is it hard to plant?"

Shidao said with a smile: "This Yunhong tea is very difficult to grow. Both the weather and the soil are extremely particular. We have studied it for several years, and there is only a small place in the back mountain where they are willing to live."

"I see."

No wonder there are so few.

Xiao Changdao said with a smile: "If there were too many, I would have come to grab them back a long time ago. Rare things are more expensive."

Tang Yunshu thought about his personality, and it really seemed like something he would do.

After tea, Shidao wandered around with them in the temple, taking Tang Yunshu to appreciate the beautiful scenery on the mountain, and returned to the hotel until dark in the afternoon.

As soon as he arrived at the hotel, someone came to report that the Queen Mother had invited him over.
