Quick Travel: Dream Hunt

Three days after getting the elixir, Zhao Xurao appointed the young prince Zhao Xianting, who was only a few days old, as the crown prince, and appointed the young princess Zhao Nianhe as the Princess Protector of the Nation. Then, directly at the crown prince's appointment ceremony, he passed the throne of emperor to Zhao Xianting, who was only three days old.

Despite the disapproval of the empress dowager and the reluctance of the ministers, Zhao Xurao resolutely abdicated the throne and went to the Huguo Temple to become a monk.

Only the Queen Mother was left with the three-day-old emperor and princess, opening a new chapter for the Great Xia Dynasty.

……

For Zhao Xurao, coming to this place was an accident. When he accidentally opened his eyes again and came to this world, he saw the cement sent by General Liu, and thus became interested in the Crown Princess mentioned by General Liu.

Later, when he found out that she had been married for five years, he gave up the idea. However, he was not happy with Concubine Wang and the eldest prince who were left behind by the original emperor. He even thought about finding an excuse to give the throne to the eldest prince and then disappear.

But a series of events that followed disrupted his plan. He hid in the corner and heard the grievances and humiliations that Princess Liu Tinghe had suffered in the past five years, and a slight ripple arose in his heart.

At that time, he didn't know whether he was heartbroken or moved. He always wanted to keep such a talented woman who could create cement by his side to protect the Great Xia Dynasty.

He took the initiative to write a divorce letter for her, and the first time he saw her, he wanted to possess her forever.

This opportunity came quickly. Tinghe's series of achievements gave him a good idea. After his intimidation, inducement and careful planning, he finally arranged everything a few days later.

Upon learning that Liu Tinghe had returned home, he simply used the strong national strength brought by cement as an inducement and personally dictated the imperial edict, which not only gave face and dignity to Marquis Xingguo, but also gave Liu Tinghe a new identity and retreat.

Virtuous Concubine.

She finally became his virtuous concubine and the lover he wanted to possess at first sight.

He went there specially at dusk to marry her in person as his concubine, just to tell her, and the world, that this was the person he wanted to marry.

When they consummated their marriage on their wedding night, he even felt surprised. He saw the innocence in Concubine Xian's eyes, and he understood her feelings.

When he learned that Concubine Xian was still a virgin, he was surprised and even angrily scolded the bastard prince for being a disrespectful person and letting him get away with it.

The virtuous concubine was a capable person. Not only could she bring him surprises from time to time, but she could also make the empress dowager smile. Not only could she give him fresh love, but she could also bring the Great Xia Dynasty's growing national strength and stability.

Those old guys forced him to execute Concubine Xian again. Why? Was it because she was the one he loved?

It was a pain in his heart that he could not give Concubine Xian the position of queen and the lifelong companionship she deserved while sitting in this position. Yet someone dared to force him to issue an edict, but he refused.

He wanted to love Concubine Xian more and more, love her even more and especially, and throw the words of those ministers behind his mind, pretending not to hear them if they did not touch his heart.

The damned Concubine Wang actually dared to poison Concubine Xian. She deserved to be put to death, and being cut into pieces would not be an exaggeration, but he would not let her die so quickly. After all, she was the person the original owner loved, but she was unlucky to meet him, who had changed his heart.

But injuring the virtuous concubine is a crime that cannot be forgiven. Since she is tired of being a high-ranking imperial concubine, she might as well become a prostitute at the lowest level. I hope that vicious woman can live longer.

The old ministers of the two dynasties who rebelled were all dead, and their power collapsed, but his virtuous concubine was also deeply poisoned, so she abandoned him and her two children and left him forever.

The virtuous concubine passed away, and her body disappeared and reappeared, but the virtuous concubine who appeared was still a virgin. He could tell that she was not his virtuous concubine anymore.

No, she did not disappear, she came back and became a god. No, she was originally a god. He was an emperor who had been favored by the goddess, and he was willing to be her believer only in this life.

……

He met the goddess again in his dream. When he opened his eyes, he saw the elixir that the goddess left for him. He smiled foolishly, tears streaming down his cheeks, and he gave all the elixirs to Haitang.

She was canonized as a princess and acknowledged as her adopted sister. She was allowed to see the Queen Mother directly if she had any problems. Haitang was ordered to look after the children and, as their aunt, accompany them until she wanted to get married.

Haitang did not choose to get married. She stayed in the palace and took care of the children herself, looking for traces of her own lady on the children's faces every day.

He kept the eldest prince left behind by the original emperor. He did not revoke his title as the eldest prince, but sent people to remove him from the imperial jade butterfly. Saving his life was considered to be doing justice to the original emperor.

After making all these preparations, he handed over all the things left by Concubine Xian to the Queen Mother and asked her to act as regent until the children grew up.

He named his son Zhao Xianting and his daughter Zhao Nianhe.

He posthumously named Concubine Xian as Empress Xingxian on the day of her funeral.

But there was no place reserved for himself in the same bedroom with her, because he knew that this virtuous concubine was not his virtuous concubine.

When Zhao Xianting was enthroned as the crown prince, he was still a three-day-old baby. He was carried to his enthronement ceremony by Haitang and his wet nurse.

When the ceremony was about to end, Zhao Xurao took off his imperial jade crown and announced that the throne would be passed directly to the crown prince, with the empress dowager as regent.

He arranged everything and left all his guards and shadow guards to the prince and princess, and asked Haitang to supervise them temporarily.

He left the palace with a relaxed smile. It was said that he came to the Huguo Temple, found the abbot and ordained him as a monk, becoming a young monk in the temple.

……

Princess Liu Huaying of Prince Jing, who was forced to have her hair cut and become a nun in Qingliang Temple, is sometimes lucid and sometimes confused.

When she was awake, she would listen to the nuns talking about the virtuous concubine and curse at them, and when no one was around, she would burst into tears.

When she was confused, she would sometimes call him cousin and sometimes call him prince. No one knew what she was thinking.

All I know is that her time of clarity is almost as much as her time of confusion.

She did not have a good life. In order to vent her anger, the nuns would sometimes feed her feces mixed with mud and sand when she was confused.

When he was sober, he would deliberately talk about the contributions made by Concubine Xian to mock and provoke her.

……

Prince Jing was a good prince, but because of the evil woman in his family, he became a marquis and was deprived of his hereditary title. The child is not his, and there will be no successor in the Jingyuan Marquisate from now on.

He was traumatized by his feelings towards women and drove everyone out. In order to collect the 300,000 taels of silver as compensation, he reluctantly sold all his shops, cleared out half of his servants, and even drove out his concubines.

But thinking that the concubine was given by the late emperor, he did not dare to do so.

Ever since he knew that he would never have children again, he spent his days drinking and fooling around with his concubines. He was no longer the strong and healthy man he used to be.

Listening to all the news about his former daughter-in-law, now the virtuous concubine, he would spend his days drinking in misery, resenting the viciousness of the evil woman and the uselessness of the illegitimate child.

But he didn't know that he was also guilty of indulgence.

……

The maidservant beside the princess, Dongchun, who was regarded as the concubine by Ting Hena, had been staying with Liu Ziyuan since the puppet talisman, which cost five hundred taels per piece, became ineffective.

It was not until Dongchun was driven out of the Marquis of Jingyuan's mansion that he did not accompany him. Instead, he stayed in the mansion and continued to work as a servant.

When Marquis Jingyuan was drunk every day, she bypassed the two concubines and served the marquis comfortably. Although they would never have children in the future, it was okay as long as others didn't have any.

The road to winning favor is long and arduous...

……

A few years later.

Princess Huxian Haitang is already a legitimate princess of the Great Xia Dynasty.

After accompanying the children for fifteen years, her health became worse and worse. She did not marry, nor did she leave the palace. She lived in the palace and took care of all matters concerning the children.

The children were filial and gave the elixirs left by their father and mother to their grandmother and aunt one by one to prolong their lives.

At the age of fifteen, Zhao Xianting was already able to take charge of government affairs on his own. He had the majesty and strength of Zhao Xurao, as well as the gentleness and thoughtfulness of Empress Xingxian. More importantly, he also had a lot of experience in creation.

Zhao Nianhe was different. He had been as strong as an ox since he was a child, had a hot temper, and liked to wield swords and guns. When he encountered injustice, he would argue with people, and if he couldn't win the argument, he would beat them with sticks.

At a young age, he had a strong desire to visit the military camp. He shared similar interests with his uncle Liu Jianghe, the son of Duke Xingguo, who was a few months older than him. The two of them hid their identities and set out on their journey to the military camp early on.

The children's journey continues, but Tinghe has already tossed and turned into the next world.
