Legitimate Daughter, Arrogant Consort

"wintersweet bloom nine times? What exactly is that thing? " This was the first time that Ninth Prince, who had never liked plum blossoms, was confused. After Tantai Wushang heard this, a trace of reminiscence flashed past his eyes. "That's a type of... Very sad plum blossoms. Only ten years to blossom. Every year, when the flowers bloom, there is no fragrance. After blooming, the trees themselves emit a delicate fragrance that lasts for a year. Plum blossom had only bloomed for nine years, but it had not fallen in the ninth year. It would continue until the tenth year of blooming, when it would completely wither and die. However, on this wintersweet bloom nine times, there is another legend. "

"What legend?" The Ninth Prince asked curiously. Upon hearing this, Tantai Wushang's expression darkened, and said: "According to the rumors, a thousand years ago, there was a plum tree that never bloomed, and cultivated for a thousand years. It already possessed intelligence, and was on the verge of becoming a monster.

Available... As long as the rain passed, the scholar would leave. After a whole night of rain, the plum tree finally understood what love was. If there was love, it would want it.

Plum Tree wanted to see the scholar again, but after the scholar had escaped the rain, he had already rushed to the capital to take the examination. Later, the scholar, the top scholar, came under the plum tree to thank him for blocking the rain that day. and dug up the roots of the plum tree. He went to his origin palace. Plum Tree meets with the scholar every day, and is extremely happy in his heart. "

"And then?" Ninth Prince asked in a daze. He was obviously very interested in this story.

Later?

Tantai Wushang laughed, "Later on, the Emperor ordered for the marriage of the princess he doted on the most to be given to the Minister in charge of honor. Naturally, he agreed. When the Plum Tree found out about this, its heart was filled with grief. However, other than watching on like this, there was nothing it could do. It was just a tree. Plum Tree saw the top scholar marry the princess, saw him become the prince consort, saw him and the princess love. If it continued like this, it wouldn't mean much anymore. After all, it's not bad to be able to accompany a person you love. "

After Tantai Wushang finished, he looked at Ninth Prince and continued: "What a pity … There will never be perfection in this world. The Prince Consort's heart was filled with grief. Occasionally, he would sit under the Plum Blossom Tree and talk to the plum tree. The plum tree could not speak, and the Prince Consort would only treat it as a listener. Prince Consort Ma said that he missed the time when it was raining heavily and he was hiding under a tree. At that time, he didn't need to think about anything. "

"This Prince Consort really has no sense of responsibility. He can't even deal with a woman." Ninth Prince said disdainfully.

Tantai Wushang looked at him and continued, "Prince Consort Ma likes to talk to the Plum Tree. Gradually, the Princess became dissatisfied with the situation and said that if Prince Consort Ma were to continue like this, he would go crazy sooner or later. This Plum Tree must be weird. They were going to chop down this plum tree. The Prince Consort was naturally unwilling, so he stopped them. Anger filled the Princess's heart as she began to argue with Prince Consort. He had thought that Prince Consort would compromise as he had in the past, but this time, he did not. The princess angrily went to the palace to request the emperor to take charge. When the emperor heard of this matter, he summoned the prince consort and left. The Prince Consort didn't want to cut down the Plum Blossom Tree. This was the first time he had his own determination. The Emperor naturally knew that the Princess was arrogant and proud. And if the Prince Consort broke his heart because of such a small matter, it would not be worth it. In the end, the Emperor gave the order to chop down the Plum Blossom Tree if the Plum Blossom did not bloom this year. "

"The prince consort could only agree.

Prince Consort himself sat under the Plum Blossom Tree and explained this matter, but he didn't know that Plum Blossom understood everything. At the flowering stage, the plum trees were in bloom, and the fragrance of the tree trunks was in the air. This attracted the attention of countless people. Even the emperor was alarmed by the sight of Prince Consort Ma's residence. The princess still believed that there was something wrong with this Plum Blossom, but since she had already made a promise, even if she wanted to go back on her words, she couldn't. He could only tolerate the existence of this Plum Blossom Tree. When the plum blossoms blossomed, the Prince Consort and the Princess drank wine and had fun under the tree. Later on, Prince Consort Ma and Princess have a son, no longer estranged, and Plum Tree also can no longer speak to Prince Consort. This was how the plum trees were, blooming and falling until the tenth year. The flower bloomed for a whole year and never fell, shocking the entire dynasty, and Prince Consort also found it interesting to come to the plum tree every day. It turned out that Plum Tree adored Prince Consort's horse. In order to not be cut down, he had spent a thousand years of his cultivation, forcing himself to blossom. However, Prince Consort rarely looked at it, because he had a son, and because he had made peace with the princess. He thought that if he could not be with her, he would make it so that he would never be able to forget her. Thus, the plum tree had used up all of its cultivation and opened up for a whole year. The Princess and Prince Consort didn't know the reason, but when Prince Consort met a Daoist, Prince Consort told him that he owed Plum Tree a marriage. Hearing this, Prince Consort Ma broke down and cried bitterly.

"The wintersweet bloom nine times came from here. It is said that the current wintersweet bloom nine times is the seed that was dropped after the monster's cultivation was used up. It was a flower that only bloomed for ten years. However, that decade was more than enough for the rest of the flowers to bloom for a season. After Tantai Wushang finished speaking, the Ninth Prince by the side had his eyes turn red. Monsters can also have feelings. If I were to be the prince consort, I will take that princess away and become a monk. " Ninth Prince said.

Tantai Wushang looked at him and suddenly remembered her reaction when she told him this story that day.

He still remembered that time, he only said that if he missed it, he would never see flowers again.

"But Third Brother, where did you hear this kind of story? Are these stories generally not the kind that only women like? " On this side, the Ninth Prince's new problem had already arrived.

Ninth Prince was like a baby who was always asking questions, causing others to feel a headache. Hearing that, Tantai Wushang glanced at him and said: "My friends from the past mentioned it to me, but now, she is no longer in the world."

"I see. Third brother, do you know where the wintersweet bloom nine times are?"

"It's near the Luo City. There's only one wintersweet bloom nine times." Tantai Wushang said.

"Where?"

"Autumn Water Villa."

Autumn Water Villa? Ninth Prince was silent. He had heard of this place before. The owner here was very concerned about the plum blossoms and did not allow anyone to take them away.

"We're going?"

"Of course I have to go. Otherwise, how can I get what I want?" Third Prince said.

"We can also wait outside. As long as we know the whereabouts of the crown prince and don't give him a chance to return to the capital, wouldn't we have achieved his goal?" Ninth Prince thought very simply.

Tantai Wushang looked at him deeply, feeling that such a person had a worrisome intelligence: "If we can't catch them, and instead let them cure the pestilence in Jiangnan, and even return to the capital, what will we do? Rather than just waiting, it would be better for us to attack first. If Autumn Water Villa is willing to hand all of the wintersweet bloom nine times to us, then we will treat this Jiangnan Plague and the crown prince will be punished regardless of whether he goes back or not. "

"What you said makes sense, but how could the master of the Autumn Water Villa do such a thing?" Ninth Prince was at a loss.

"Something has to be done. Let's make some preparations and head to Autumn Water Villa. " Third Prince said lightly. After Ninth Prince heard this, he did not say anything further.

When Situ Yaorao returned to the old house, he saw Feng Ziqi waiting for her in front of the door. Seeing her coming back from the outside, with a calm expression, there was no sign of life on her beautiful face, her blood-red eyes just stared at her without saying a word.

She was not afraid of him asking her anything. She was only afraid that he would not ask her anything. Even today, the Azure Sky still made her heart ache. She did not like Feng Ziqi because he was the emperor of the Bright Moon Country and not the Cang she knew. Available... When he didn't speak, when he looked at her helplessly with those eyes of his, it always reminded her of that time when he loved her and was innocent.

For a moment, he only felt that it was a pity.

"You're back? Want something to eat? I'll let Gu Su do it for you. " Feng Ziqi's voice was gentle, it did not carry a single trace of dissatisfaction, and holding onto Situ Yaorao's hand, was an inexhaustible gentleness. Hearing that, Situ Yaorao shook his head, looked at him and said: "Do you not have anything to say to me?"
