The Immortal Told Me to Get Lost
The Imperial Eldest Grandson, Xiao Chengchen, was very confident.
With a confident clapping, six strong guards carried three large wooden boxes into the hall.
Gao Yunyi opened his lazy eyes.
He straightened his posture slightly.
After all, the other party was the eldest grandson of the old emperor, so even if the gift he offered to the Immortal was of poor quality, it couldn't be too bad.
The other person's expression was too confident.
His confidence was so great that even Gao Yunyi began to have expectations.
Then,
Beneath the confident expression of the Imperial Eldest Grandson, Xiao Chengchen, and in the expectant eyes of Immortal Gao Yunyi.
The three large wooden crates were slowly opened.
Inside, a mountain of books was revealed.
Gao Yunyi: "..."
That's it?
That's all?
Seeing the shock in the Immortal's eyes, the Imperial Eldest Grandson, Xiao Cheng, was once again bursting with confidence.
Look,
This is my trump card.
As expected, this made the Immortal look at him with new respect.
"Immortal Venerable, please look. This box contains a collection of hundreds of classic texts that I have gathered over the years. Each volume is a rare and unique copy, and many of the texts have long been lost to the world, making them extremely precious."
"And this box contains Confucian classics annotated by my own hand, integrating the commentaries of great Confucian scholars throughout history, and subtly revealing my thoughts on scholarship."
"And this last box contains all the poems and essays I have written in my life. Each one is a labor of love, carefully considered before being written, containing my thoughts and aspirations."
After the Imperial Eldest Grandson, Xiao Chengchen, finished his introduction with a flushed face,
He then turned and stared intently at the Immortal.
"I wish to offer all these rare treasures to the Immortal Venerable, and humbly request that the Immortal Venerable peruse and appreciate them."
Gao Yunyi: "..."
Looking at the Imperial Eldest Grandson, whose eyes were filled with eager anticipation, and then glancing at the three large boxes of books behind him.
Gao Yunyi felt a moment of dizziness.
It felt like I was back in my senior year of high school.
The desk was piled high with textbooks and materials, and in front of him lay endless practice tests and exercises.
Next to me sat a top student who was working incredibly hard and competing intensely with his classmates.
Gao Yunyi figured it out.
This Imperial Eldest Grandson didn't come to offer gifts, but to show off and to undermine him.
That confident yet smug expression on his face and in his eyes,
She looks exactly like my top student deskmate from back then.
Seeing that the Immortal remained unresponsive for a long time, the Imperial Eldest Grandson Xiao Chengchen, assumed that the Immortal was deeply moved by the lavish gift he had carefully prepared.
Just as he was excitedly accepting the Immortal's appreciation, and his mind was filled with anticipation of discussing poetry and appreciating ancient books with the Immortal,
The Immortal's sacred mouth finally opened slowly.
However, this was not the praise and appreciation that the Imperial Eldest Grandson, Xiao Chengchen, had hoped for.
It was a word that was almost spat out through gritted teeth.
"Roll!!"
Outside the Temporary Palace Villa,
Wang Zitao, Ministry of Rites official in the Ministry of Rites, was anxiously waiting inside the carriage.
That's right.
He was demoted again.
In less than two months, he was demoted from the Principal Second Rank Ministry of Rites of Rites to the Principal Fifth Rank Ministry of Rites Minister of Rites.
The speed of demotion
Throughout the entire Great Liang Dynasty,
It's truly unique; there are no other branches.
This is why he strongly urged the Imperial Eldest Grandson to risk coming to see the Immortal.
Because if this kind of devaluation continues...
He's almost reduced to an ordinary citizen.
His Highness was summoned by the Immortal.
This is good news.
This means his plan is already more than halfway to success.
Now it will depend on His Highness's personal charm and those three large boxes of carefully prepared gifts.
Wang Zitao and the Imperial Eldest Grandson, Xiao Chengchen, have the same thought process.
In their view,
Immortals are high above, noble and holy, and transcendent.
What catches His eye is not those filthy things reeking of money; it must be elegant enough, profound enough, and preferably imbued with historical and cultural heritage.
Only classic texts that carry the Confucian cultural lineage might attract the attention of Immortals.
As long as Your Highness can win the favor of the Immortals and gain Immortal favor...
So what he lost before,
He can get it back tenfold or a hundredfold.
Your Highness,
You must strive to be better.
You need to stand up straight.
Just as Wang Zitao was anxiously waiting in the car, the gates of the Temporary Palace Villa slowly opened.
The prince he had been eagerly awaiting finally emerged.
Ignoring the dignity and bearing of the Qingliu leader and Literati Confucian scholars, Wang Zitao hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and ran quickly to the Imperial Eldest Grandson, Xiao Chengchen.
"Your Highness, how is it? What did the Immortal say?"
The Imperial Eldest Grandson, Xiao Chengchen, was acting strangely at this moment.
In a daze, in a daze,
It was as if he had lost his soul and spirit, as if he had suffered an unbearable and heavy blow.
"Your Highness, what's wrong? Please say something!"
Under Wang Zitao's anxious and uneasy questioning, the Imperial Eldest Grandson Xiao Chengchen, looked at him blankly and murmured softly:
"Immortal... told me... get lost."
Wang Zitao: "..."
Then,
Outside the Temporary Palace Villa,
Another person has been added to the list, living in a daze and a daze.
By the way,
There were also three large boxes of classic texts, articles, and commentaries that had just been thrown out.
At the same time,
Eldest Princess Xiao Zhaohuang is riding at full speed towards the Capital.
She was not followed by tens of thousands of imperial troops, but only by several hundred Phoenix Plume Guards.
After suppressing the rebellion in Ji Province
She then abandoned tens of thousands of troops and, with only a few hundred Phoenix Plume Guards, rushed back to the Capital day and night without stopping.
Because of the Immortals,
They have arrived in the Capital.
If even the Imperial Eldest Grandson, Xiao Chengchen, could think of something, how could she not?
The struggle for the throne
From the moment the Immortal descended upon the Capital,
The power struggles and infighting in the imperial court have already transformed into a scramble for the immortal destiny of the Immortals.
As the saying goes, if you fall behind in one step, you fall behind in every step.
One wrong move, and the whole game is lost.
Having made up his mind to vie for the throne, Xiao Zhaohuang absolutely could not allow himself to fall behind.
Although she possessed New Nation-Guarding Divine Sword bestowed upon her by Immortal.
But she still felt completely insecure.
Because according to the information she received,
Such celestial artifacts have already been bestowed upon three individuals by the Immortals.
Among the three was a pitiful Tanka woman, a failed Tongsheng, and her, the incomparably noble and powerful Princess Who Guards the Nation.
The three of them came from different backgrounds, had different experiences, and faced different circumstances.
Therefore,
The treasure bestowed by the Immortals has no trace whatsoever.
It's as if it's entirely based on personal preference and interest.
No wonder people say that Immortals and Gods are unfathomable.
It is beyond the comprehension and unfathomable of ordinary people.
What if her pedantic and foolish nephew also received the blessings and favor of the Immortals Immortal?
Even if she wields immense power and enjoys widespread support, it won't be enough to overcome a single word from Immortal.
Her eldest nephew is such a good pretender; he acts like a gentleman all day long, spouting righteousness and morality.
The Immortal is naive and innocent, and will definitely be deceived by his appearance.
No,
Absolutely not.
The throne belongs to me.
Immortals also belong to this palace.
No one can take it away from me.
Thinking about this,
A look of anxiety immediately appeared on Eldest Princess Xiao Zhaohuang's face, which was both charming and heroic.
"Speed up; we must reach the Capital today."
With a command from Her Eldest Princess
The hundreds of Phoenix Plume Guards behind them galloped even faster on horseback.
