"I think so too, especially Uncle Rong. He lost all his Taoist skills in order to save our father, but he has managed to regain some of them over the years."

Xiao Yao said with great admiration, "Uncle Rong is so amazing."

Xiao Chen said: "I have also heard about Uncle Rong and my father, the emperor and my mother. He is the benefactor of our family."

As he spoke, Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Yao and asked, "Master Ding said that Uncle Rong's hair turned white overnight because he cured our mother's fear of heat."

"I don't know. No one has ever told me about this." Xiao Yao told the truth, "But I have heard people say that it is just as you said. He was also full of vigor and vitality at that time, but his hair turned white at a young age."

Xiao Chen frowned, looking regretful.

Xiao Yao said, "It's okay. Don't you think that Uncle Rong's white hair looks as elegant as a banished immortal?"

"Uncle Rong is like a god standing on the top of a mountain." She showed an expression of great admiration, "He is a god."

Xiao Chen raised his eyes to look at her, "Now that you put it that way, Uncle Rong does have a noble temperament, like someone who is not worldly."

"I'm afraid I'll never be able to catch up with his attainments in this lifetime." Xiao Chen said with a bit of inferiority complex.

Xiao Yao disagreed, "Uncle Rong has not accepted any disciples in these years, but you, as soon as you returned to the capital, became Uncle Rong's disciple so smoothly. Your temperament is somewhat similar to Uncle Rong's."

"Me? Temperament?"

"Well, calm, casual, and not so stubborn." Xiao Yao praised sincerely.

Xiao Chen laughed, "Because Master said that in cultivation, the way is natural, go with the flow, fight for what is inevitable, and be calm when you lose..."

After a pause, Xiao Chen continued: "It's no big deal."

Xiao Yao laughed, "Even the way you talk is like Uncle Rong."

Xiao Chen didn't object.

He knew very well that his uncle taught him very attentively and was very patient with him.

After chatting for a while, Xiao Yao stood up and said, "I have to go to Uncle Rong to review the memorials."

Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment, "You brought the memorial to Uncle Rong for review?"

"Yes, I will ask Uncle Rong for advice. Over the years, I have asked Uncle Rong for advice most of the time."

"Isn't my father in the palace? Doesn't he care?"

Xiao Yao thought for a moment, "Father is busy earning money from the treasury. Mother knows some of the obvious things, but she doesn't know about some of the hidden things. So, Father has really been busy these years."

"Father, what is this for?"

Xiao Yao took a deep breath and said, "Father said he wanted to take mother to live the comfortable life she wanted."

"Aren't you comfortable after having one country?"

"Brother Chen's cultivation is not yet complete. People's pursuits and desires are endless. Some people are obsessed with power, some are obsessed with wealth, and some are obsessed with love..."

After a pause, Xiao Yao smiled indifferently, "Father is obsessed with love. This country has never been what Father wants. From the beginning to the end, Father only wants Queen Mother."

Uncle Rong——

Perhaps the person Uncle Rong cares about most in his life is the Queen Mother. Everything he has given in his life is for the Queen Mother's happiness.

I envy this pure emotion.

It's obvious that they are of different generations.

She knew clearly that she shouldn't fall in love with Uncle Rong, but Uncle Rong always looked calm.

The soft and melancholy aura emanating from his body made her want to get closer to him and make him smile more.

Sometimes, she even wondered if she could make up for her uncle Rong on behalf of her father and mother.

This thought came into her mind more than once.

At first, she thought it was making up for it.

Later, she had to face her own heart. She didn't think about making amends at all. She was attracted by his cold and gentle nature during their long time together.

An irresistible attraction.

"Imperial sister?"

Xiao Chen called her several times, not knowing what she was thinking about so intently.

Xiao Yao finally came back to her senses and smiled at Xiao Chen, "I just thought of something."

Xiao Chen asked: "No wonder, the imperial sister was brought up by Uncle Rong, no wonder the imperial sister behaves so freely and unrestrainedly."

"I'm not free and easy." Xiao Yao shook her head and smiled bitterly, "The practice of life has just begun, and every day is a new beginning..."

Xiao Chen opened his mouth, looked at Xiao Yao and said, "My royal sister, your opinion is great."

"I just said it casually. After all, Uncle Rong was not willing to accept me as his apprentice at the beginning. Brother Chen is lucky." As Uncle Rong's apprentice, I have reasons and excuses to stick to Uncle Rong for the rest of my life.

Xiao Yao suddenly thought of something, sat down again, looked at Xiao Chen and asked seriously, "There are many things that people pursue in this world. What do you want to pursue, brother?"

Xiao Chen thought for a moment, "What my sister just said, wealth, power, love, I don't want these." He seemed to have thought about something, "At least now, I only want to find the way."

Xiao Yao frowned, "I won't stop Brother Chen from seeking the truth, but Brother Chen should know that the royal family of my Cangyun country has been dying out. Not to mention my father's descendants, even the side branches of the royal family are also in decline. A few..."

Xiao Chen naturally knew.

Xiao Yao continued, "Brother, even if I am the crown prince, in the future, even if I can give birth, how many children do you want me to have? How can I handle government affairs?"

Xiao Chen: “…”

"Although my father and mother feel sorry for my brother who has been away for many years and don't want to force you, they must hope that my brother will get married, have many children and grandchildren."

Xiao Chen: “…”

"Brother Chen should be good at finding good girls. At least you can become a Taoist partner with the one you like, and cultivate and start a family at the same time."

"Royal sister, you..."

"Just think of it as Yao'er asking Brother Chen for help." She rarely showed the fragility of a girl and held Xiao Chen's hand. "As long as Brother Chen is willing, I can give up this kingdom to Brother Chen at any time."

"Yao'er doesn't want to be the empress?" Xiao Chen was puzzled.

Xiao Yao frowned, "Not really." After so many years, she knew what she would do in the future.

I'm not unhappy either.

The only thing that made her unhappy was that after becoming the empress, Uncle Rong would have to leave the palace and the capital, and she didn't know when he would come back.

Her father and mother were going on a trip, and although she was reluctant to let them go, she knew they would come back.

Uncle Kerong...

She was afraid that he would disappear without a trace for ten, twenty, or even thirty years.

She was afraid of this feeling.

"Are you confused about anything?"

Xiao Yao hesitated, and did not answer, and then said something else, "Royal brother, I will take my leave first, and I will come to see you tomorrow."

Xiao Chen stood up and saw her out.

Looking at Xiao Yao's dashing back as he left, it seemed to form an envious contrast with what she showed.

Xiao Yao might not be that cool, she has something hidden in her heart.

But what happened?

Xiao Chen didn't know.

After Xiao Yao walked out of Lingyin Pavilion, she wandered around the Imperial Observatory for a while, and only went to Yinyue Pavilion after she calmed down.

She sat at the round table in Uncle Rong's outer room and reviewed the papers as she did in the past, while Rong Xun was reading on the kang in the inner room.
