The system extends my life, and all my husbands want me to be the empress

Bai Lian raised his hand slightly, and stretched out his slender fingers gently towards the lush osmanthus branch, wanting to pick a branch of osmanthus and give it to her.

Just as Bai Lian stretched out his hand to Lin Wanwan's side, his sleeve suddenly slid down, revealing the toad blood on his elbow.

The bright red was particularly eye-catching in the sunlight, and Bai Lan's movements stopped instantly.

The two of them looked at the toad's blood at the same time.

A complex emotion flashed across Bai Lin's eyes, and he hurriedly pulled up his sleeve with his other hand.

Bai Lian picked a branch, and the breeze blew, and the osmanthus flowers fell. He handed it to Lin Wanwan.

Fen Tao was extremely surprised. How could there be such a tender scene today when he said such cruel words yesterday?

Qi Wuyan and Ji Shaoyu on the side also looked at them. Their eyes met at this moment, the sun shone on them, the fragrance of golden osmanthus lingered around them, and the scene was as beautiful as a painting.

Lin Wanwan's heart was filled with joy, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she smiled and gently took the beautiful golden osmanthus.

She leaned in and sniffed it gently, then looked up at Bai Lian and said meaningfully:

"It smells good, looks good, I like it very much."

Upon hearing this, Bai Lian actually had a faint smile on her face, and her eyes revealed a hint of unintentional tenderness.

Qi Wuyan, who was standing by, saw that the atmosphere was good and said quickly:

"My princess, are you here in the Imperial Garden so early to do some exercises and stretch your muscles?"

Lin Wanwan nodded and continued speaking:

"I knelt down to pray all day yesterday, and my legs are numb, so I want to move around."

Qi Wuyan looked at Lin Wanwan, his eyes flickered as he said:

"My princess, do you know that there is a way of exercise that can both relieve fatigue and strengthen the body?"

Lin Wanwan asked curiously: "What kind of exercise?"

Qi Wuyan smiled slightly and said, "Tai Chi."

As he spoke, he began to strike a Tai Chi posture, his movements slow and graceful, and performed it for Lin Wanwan to see.

Lin Wanwan and Bai Lian watched Qi Wuyan's movements together. As he got into the state, he indeed fought with both hardness and softness, smoothly and fluidly.

Lin Wanwan smiled faintly and shook her head gently, saying:

"This princess has never been good at sports. This Tai Chi posture looks complicated and I can't learn it."

Qi Wuyan stopped his actions, looked at Lin Wanwan, then looked at Bai Lian beside him, and came up with an idea:

"Don't worry, Princess. The basic Tai Chi movements are not difficult to learn. Let me teach you step by step. As long as you grasp the essentials, you will be able to learn it easily."

Ji Shaoyu asked hurriedly: "How can this be done?"

Ji Shaoyu felt extremely strange in his heart.

Originally in Yunwang Pavilion, if Qi Wuyan said a few more words, Master Bai Lin would say he was talkative.

Now, in this occasion, he said so much nonsense, but Bai Lian did not stop him.

Lin Wanwan lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Forget it, I don't have the talent for it."

Bai Lian listened to Lin Wanwan's words, looked at her and said, "Since the princess doesn't want to learn, I have another way to make people relax."

Lin Wanwan asked curiously: "Oh? What method?"

Bai Lian smiled slightly and said, "Five Tones."

Lin Wanwan was slightly stunned and said, "Five notes? Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, Yu?"

Bai Lian nodded: "Well, different tones can affect people's emotions and bodies. I can use the music to adjust the princess's emotions and relax her body."

Lin Wanwan looked at him and couldn't help but think to herself: Bai Lian's attitude is to be nice to people intermittently?

Different every moment? Ruthless but affectionate?

Then, she frowned slightly and said meaningfully:

"Master, please play the zither for me. If the Queen Mother punishes me, I cannot bear it."

Bai Lian frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"

Lin Wanwan thought for a moment, to prevent Bai Lian from being so distant again, and said with a smile: "Okay, Master, please play the piano."

The two of them came under a sweet-scented osmanthus tree together.

The branches of the osmanthus tree are covered with golden flowers, emitting bursts of fragrance.

"Stop talking. Bring me the zither."

Upon hearing this, Ji Shaoyu hurriedly handed over the guqin.

Bai Lian then sat cross-legged on the ground, placed the guqin gently on his knees, closed his eyes slightly, adjusted his breathing, and then gently plucked the strings.

The sound of the piano was faint and drifted into Lin Wanwan's ears.

Lin Wanwan sat quietly under the osmanthus tree with a smile on her lips, then she took a step closer, leaned against Bai Lan's side, and also sat on the ground.

Listening to Bai Lian playing the piano, my heart gradually calmed down.

Then she closed her eyes and felt the tranquility and beauty brought by the piano music.

Before she knew it, she felt sleepy, her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and she gradually fell asleep.

In the imperial garden, the breeze blew gently, the leaves rustled, and the golden sunlight shone through the layers of branches and leaves, casting mottled light and shadows.

Lin Wanwan's body tilted slightly and just happened to lean lightly on Bai Lan's shoulder.

Bai Lian felt the gentle weight and his heart moved slightly.

His eyes were still fixed forward, but his fingers unconsciously plucked the strings more gently.

Ji Shaoyu stood there blankly, looking at the two people under the osmanthus tree. He felt deeply unhappy, but he didn't dare to make a sound.

Just as Lin Wanwan was taking a good nap, everyone in the dojo was anxiously waiting for the arrival of Master Bai Lian and his companions.

The auspicious time for the Taoist ceremony has arrived, but Bai Lian is nowhere to be seen.

Everyone can see how much importance the Queen Mother attaches to this Taoist temple.

At this time, all the ministers in the court were discussing the matter of establishing a new emperor, and everyone wanted to please the Queen Mother.

Lin Xiaohe directly asked the eunuch to invite Master Bai Lian.

The eunuch hurried back to report: "The Immortal Master is gone."

Lin Xiaohe was shocked when he heard this: "Go and report to the Queen Mother immediately."

The Queen Mother hurried over upon hearing the news.

Sitting high up on it, with a gloomy face, she scanned everyone with sharp eyes. She soon discovered that Princess An Ning, Lin Wanwan, was not in the Taoist temple either.

As for Bai Lian, the Queen Mother thought that perhaps the immortal master's magic was not working, or perhaps some important matter was delayed.

But for Lin Wanwan's late arrival, the Queen Mother's anger was like a volcano about to erupt, and she transferred all her anger to her:

"Where is Princess An Ning?"

Lin Meihua, who was standing aside, was secretly delighted, and a look of gloating flashed across her face.

She thought to herself that Lin Wanwan dared to be late, the Queen Mother would definitely punish her severely.

She was about to say something when she looked at the empress dowager's gloomy face. Then, she quietly glanced at the silent people around her, feeling the tense atmosphere. Although she was very proud, she did not dare to say much.

The Queen Mother was furious and ordered in a stern voice: "You all! Go find Master Bai Lian and bring Princess An Ning here!"

"Yes, Queen Mother." After receiving the order, the palace maids and eunuchs hurriedly dispersed. The sound of their footsteps echoed in the dojo, adding a bit of tension and panic.

Everyone in the dojo was silent, not daring to make a sound, waiting quietly for the development of the situation.

Not long after, a maid who was looking for Lin Wanwan saw them.

At this time in the Imperial Garden, Bai Lian was sitting quietly under the osmanthus tree playing the piano, while Lin Wanwan was leaning on his shoulder, sleeping soundly.

The maid was frightened by the scene and covered her mouth tightly. She hurried back to the temple and reported to the Queen Mother:

"Your Majesty, Immortal Master Bai Lian is in the Imperial Garden, and... and..."

The Queen Mother was furious when she saw her hesitating, "Hurry up and tell me!"

"She is leaning against Princess An Ning, Lin Wanwan. They seem to have a very close relationship."

what? !

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the palace maid.

The maid looked at so many masters looking at her and put her head on the ground:

"Empress Dowager, everything I said is true. I did not disturb them... They are still..."

The Queen Mother was even more surprised when she heard this. She never thought that Master Bai Lian would be so intimate with Lin Wanwan in the Imperial Garden.

A surge of anger welled up in her heart, but because of Bai Lin's identity, she couldn't vent it on the spot.

After a moment, the Queen Mother took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger in her heart.

She said, "Let's go to the Imperial Garden."

Everyone stood up and followed the Queen Mother towards the Imperial Garden.

The maid pointed in the direction of Lin Wanwan and Bai Lian and said in a trembling voice, "Empress Dowager, they are there."

When the Queen Mother's eyes fell on the two people cuddling under the osmanthus tree, she instantly became furious.

"Be bold!"

The Queen Mother hurried forward, her face livid and she shouted angrily, her voice echoing in the garden like a bolt from the blue, and she was so angry that her whole body was shaking slightly.

"What a shame!"

The princes and princesses were so shocked by this scene that they were speechless, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Lin Meihua showed a gloating expression, as if she was waiting to see a good show.

The palace maids turned pale with fear when they saw the Queen Mother's rage. They lowered their heads and trembled slightly, fearing that the Queen Mother's anger would burn them.

Everyone looked at the Queen Mother nervously, waiting for her next instruction.

Qi Wuyan and Ji Shaoyu were standing not far away. Seeing this scene, they were filled with worry.

Lin Wanwan slowly woke up, opened her eyes, and was suddenly startled when she saw the people in front of her. Then she immediately controlled her shocked expression and stood up calmly.

The Queen Mother and the others had already arrived in anger. She immediately frowned and asked:

"What are you doing?!"

Lin Wanwan lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then bowed respectfully. She smiled calmly and said:

"This princess and the immortal master are just discussing some immortal principles."

Lin Meihua interrupted and sneered, "Discussing immortal principles? Humph, you are so seductive, you always seduce men.

Do you think we are three-year-old children? You were clearly asleep just now!"

The Queen Mother frowned and looked at Bai Lin. Seeing that he was fresh and unworldly, she did not speculate on their relationship from a worldly perspective.

Instead, she looked at Lin Wanwan and asked, "Since you are discussing immortality with the immortal master, then tell me, what is immortality?"

Lin Wanwan thought for a moment and replied, "Immortals are extraordinary and unworldly, not burdened by the secular world. They can save people from danger.

The way to cultivate immortality is to have a peaceful mind, not be disturbed by external things, and not be easily angered.

Those who cultivate immortality should be compassionate and care for all living beings. They will be able to achieve immortality. "

Longevity... The Queen Mother listened to Lin Wanwan's words and gradually savored them. Then she nodded slightly:

"An Ning is right. The path of cultivating immortality does require a peaceful mind and compassion.

However, it is inappropriate for you to be so intimate with the Immortal Master in this imperial garden."

Lin Wanwan quickly said, "The Queen Mother is right."

Lin Xiaohe noticed something was wrong, and frowned at Bai Lin and asked, "Master, what were you doing just now?"

Bai Lian also stood up slowly and said:

"The princess is right. We are discussing the principles of immortality. Princess An Ning has a destiny with immortality. If Xuan Yue has a princess, the country will surely prosper and everything will go smoothly."

These words touched the heart of the Queen Mother, but Lin Wanwan still wanted to punish her:

“Since you have a predestined relationship with the immortal, and you have missed the time and lost your dignity, let Princess An Ning guard the temple all night, so that you will not miss the time tomorrow.

Lin Wanwan bowed: "Yes."

……

The second day at the training ground passed by very long.

That night, the moonlight sprinkled in the palace courtyard like water.

Bai Lian sat alone in the room, but his heart was always concerned about Lin Wanwan.

He wondered if Lin Wanwan would be hungry while guarding the dojo at night. Once this thought came to his mind, it could not be shaken off.

Bai Lian frowned slightly, then told Qi Wuyan: "Wuyan, prepare some food."

Qi Wuyan and Ji Shaoyu were both shocked when they heard this order.

Qi Wuyan's eyes widened, and he was the first to speak: "Master, why do you suddenly want to eat?"

Ji Shaoyu also looked at Bai Lian with a puzzled look on his face, and then continued Qi Wuyan's words: "Yes, Master, is it time to have night tea?"

Bai Lian said softly, "It's not for me to eat. It's for the princess to eat."

Qi Wuyan nodded immediately, with a hint of joy on his face:

"Okay, sir, don't worry. I will immediately ask the palace servants to prepare some good food for the princess."

Ji Shaoyu's expression changed slightly, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and he said to Qi Wuyan: "Well, go prepare the food. When it's ready, I'll deliver it."
