Song Dynasty female artist

Chapter 1099: Extra : Zhao Rui (Part )
For me, this is not just about prolonging my life, but also about being able to stay with my wife for a longer time.

But two years passed before I established my foundation.

"Why so slow?"

Gu Yan smiled: "Although you have passed the throne to Yao'er, the dragon energy in your body has not dissipated after all. It's already very good to be able to draw the energy into your body. It doesn't matter if you go slowly."

Xiaoxiao used to like to laugh at me, but when it comes to cultivation, she cares more about it than I do and guides me very patiently.

Five years later, I finally achieved the Dan.

However, I look like a man in his forties or fifties, while Xiaoxiao is still a girl in her early twenties. Every time I walk on the street holding her hand, I will attract sidelong glances and hear unpleasant words. How dare a concubine walk out like this holding her master's hand and not be afraid of being laughed at.

This time I don’t need anyone else, I will slap that person in the face with my own hands.

You can say I’m old, but you can’t insult Xiaoxiao.

Looking at that person covering his face, cursing and unable to find anyone, I think it's quite fun to play a prank on people like this.

Fortunately, the man covered his mouth and left. If he still didn't know the seriousness of the matter, it would not be as simple as a slap in the face.

After returning, I practiced even harder.

I still mind the huge difference in appearance between the two. Although it cannot be made up, if I don’t improve my cultivation quickly, I will still age later.

That's right, as my cultivation level improves, I won't stop aging, but I will slow down the aging process. So, if my cultivation level improves slowly, the gap between me and Xiaoxiao will get bigger and bigger.

It is true that after people get something, they will desire more.

I used to think that as long as I could practice, it didn’t matter if I was slow. But now I want to shorten the gap between me and Xiaoxiao.

My mindset towards cultivation changed, and it almost brought me a catastrophic disaster.

When the Nascent Soul was forming, a little black air came out of it. Fortunately, it was Xiaoxiao who protected me this time. She used her heart's blood to prove her love for me to the Nascent Soul that was gradually turning black. When I woke up, I was extremely regretful. I wanted to stay with Xiaoxiao forever, but I hurt her instead.

I still remember the look in Xiaoxiao's eyes when she looked at me, which was full of infinite love. "It's okay, it's just a few drops of blood. Master Yang's alchemy skills are very good now. At most, I can go to him and ask for a few pills."

"Okay, let's go now."

I flew to Qingyu Sect on my own and asked Yang Junyou for three bottles of elixirs. Gu Yanjing was worried when he found out, so he followed me back to see his elder sister.

On the way, Gu Yanjing asked me, "How did my elder sister get injured?"

I told him the truth without trying to hide it, and Gu Yanjing punched me in the face angrily: "Is this how you take care of my sister?"

I rubbed my face in pain, thinking that although this little fourth child had not spent much time with her eldest sister, she really protected her. Blood ties are so magical.

Gu Yanjing knew about this, and my parents and the others also knew about it. They all sent messages back. Xiaoxiao replied that it was okay for my sake, but when I heard Gu Yanjing say that I took three bottles of pills, I couldn't help but fly over to see how Xiaoxiao was doing.

Xiaoxiao lost a lot of blood, and used her spiritual power to suppress my Nascent Soul that was about to turn into a demon. She needs to rest well, otherwise she will develop a chronic illness.

Behind the residence was a clear bamboo forest. My master took me into the bamboo forest without saying a word along the way.

"father."

Ever since I stopped being the emperor, I called him dad.

He finally stopped and looked at me, and for a moment I was a little afraid to look him in the eye.

When we got married, I said I would protect Xiaoxiao, but I didn't expect that I would end up hurting her. Even if it wasn't intentional, the fact is that Xiaoxiao got hurt in order to save me.

"When I got married to your mother, I was just as anxious as you are, so I can understand how you feel. But Xiaoxiao is my daughter, and as a father, I don't want her to get hurt. I'm sure you can understand that."

Of course I can understand this. I am also a father with a son and a daughter. My daughter is of marriageable age. If she were to suffer such harm in her husband's family, I would definitely go to their house and fight.

"This is the first time, and also the last time." "Okay, I believe you." He looked at me, "You have already formed a fetus, proving that you have a good talent for cultivation. Now that you have encountered your inner demons so early, it is also a good thing. I hope that you can have a smooth life in the future and stay together forever."

As we were talking, we received a message from Xiaoxiao, saying that something happened in Kyoto and we needed to go back. I guess Yaoer must have encountered something difficult, so we went to Kyoto together.

Eight or nine years have passed, and Xiaoxiao and I have only been back three times, the most recent one being two years ago.

Compared to two years ago, Yaoer is more stable.

The reason why we were called here this time was actually to establish a queen.

I looked at Xiaoxiao and said, "You are the king of a country, and you need us to make the decision on the queen?"

Zhao Yao: "Didn't my father consult with my grandparents when he married my mother?"

I choked.

This brat dares to play tricks on his father.

If my parents weren't here, I would have beaten this kid up.

"You are the emperor. You can appoint anyone you like. Your mother and I still have a lot of things to do. If you can't make up your mind for the time being, don't we have to stay in the palace?"

"Mother, is what father said human language?"

I was so angry that Zhao Yao knelt down tactfully and said, "Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, you haven't been back for a few years. It's really too hard for Yao'er to face those court officials alone!"

Gu Yanxiao rolled his eyes and said, "So you have a girl you like, but the court officials don't agree?"

After Xiaoxiao said that, I felt even more disgusted.

"Think about it, your mother was against my making her the queen minister, but she won in the end. I've already given you a sample, but you still don't know how to deal with those people?"

Zhao Yao: "Can this be the same?"

"Why is it different? Either you don't like that woman very much and don't want to go to great lengths for her!"

In fact, this is the most essential thing.

It is true that Zhao Yao had never spent much time with the woman. He liked that woman only because it was pleasant to be with her, but to say that he would go to any length for her, that was not the case.

I said, "Since you are not determined to make her the queen, then follow the ministers' wishes and choose the most suitable person to be the queen. You are giving her a chance to live."

"Mom, what do you mean?"

Gu Yanxiao nodded: "That's what I meant."

If Zhao Yao can't be like his father, then he should choose the most suitable person, which will be good for both of them.

In the end, Yaoer made Cao Zhan's granddaughter the queen.

The two had only met a few times at palace banquets before and had never spoken a word to each other, but they were surprisingly harmonious after marriage. In the following years, Zhao Yao took concubines one after another. Empress Cao managed the harem in order, and princes were born continuously.

I am very pleased about this. Not long after Yaoer got married, my daughter also found a husband of her dreams. He was a Jinshi that year. I specially tested him. He is a magnanimous man with a handsome appearance. With Yaoer as her backing, she will live a peaceful and smooth life.

Now that our children’s marriages have been arranged, Xiaoxiao and I have truly let go of everything in Kyoto.

When I was seventy-eight years old, I finally broke through to the Avatar Stage, at the age of eighty-eight I reached the Spiritual Transformation Stage, and at the age of one hundred and seven I reached the Fusion Stage. With this level of cultivation, my lifespan has increased to two to three hundred years.

When I broke through the fusion stage, Yao'er passed away, and the throne was inherited by Zhao Ji, the eldest son of him and Cao.

Three years later, her daughter also passed away.

In the end, Xiaoxiao and I were the only ones left.
