The seal was quickly escorted back to the capital.
That day was the eighth day of the eighth lunar month.
Emperor Wen looked at the seal, which was almost identical to the one described by Tang Zhuyun, and felt that this was probably an arrangement from the heavens.
Was it that replica she always carried with her, a gift from her grandfather's profound love, that brought her to his side?
This should be the fourth treasure, and the most important one.
Before the Spring Festival, he had to personally go to Mount Tai to properly settle the four items and put his mind at ease.
After considering all the details, Emperor Wen took the seal to Tang Zhuyun.
Result!
Tang Zhuyun is not in the palace!
Emperor Wen was frustrated.
Are people this arrogant now?
He left the palace without even telling him!
"Is Lu Zhenyan coming along?"
"Your Majesty, I will follow."
Emperor Wen was finally relieved.
Although the White Lotus Sect is no longer a force to be reckoned with, what if there are still a few stubborn survivors?
After finishing her class at the academy, Tang Zhuyun was surrounded by a group of teenage girls.
After spending some time together, the girls figured out her temperament and knew that she was approachable and easygoing.
So every time after class, everyone would swarm around her.
Some people came to ask her questions, while others simply wanted to get closer to her and talk to her.
You must know, this is the Empress.
This is someone I could never have dreamed of meeting before; she is the mother of a nation.
Let alone those orphans from humble backgrounds, or even those without parents, how many girls from official families have ever seen the Empress?
Tang Zhuyun liked these girls very much, even though they might be a little noisy or improper.
Because it's a feeling of youthful energy, being with them makes her feel much younger.
"Your Highness, your hairpin is so beautiful!"
"Your Majesty, why aren't you wearing the same dress as last time?"
"Your Highness, when will you come to class again?"
Tang Zhuyun answered each question with a smile.
Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.
Tang Zhuyun looked up and saw Emperor Wen standing at the classroom door, followed by a large group of people.
He was tall and imposing, standing against the light, exuding an aura of authority without being angry.
"Why has the Emperor come?" Tang Zhuyun asked with a smile.
The girls in the classroom then realized what was happening and all bowed down.
The imposing Emperor Wen walked straight forward.
By the time he reached Tang Zhuyun, his tone had become gentle and indulgent.
He said to Tang Zhuyun, "I got something really nice today, and I knew you'd like it, so I couldn't wait to tell you."
The girls. "..."
Is this the Emperor?
Is this their supreme status?
How can someone be so gentle!
Tang Zhuyun: "..."
This is just a bragging kid.
But we can't dampen their enthusiasm, can we?
And he arrived at just the right time.
"What is this? You can't fool me." Tang Zhuyun laughed, then gestured to everyone, "Get up quickly. His Majesty has come incognito today, so please don't stand on ceremony."
But if Emperor Wen didn't give the order, who dared to stand up?
Tang Zhuyun tugged at Emperor Wen's sleeve and said reproachfully, "Say something!"
"Rise."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Let's go back to the palace and talk about it slowly." Tang Zhuyun was too embarrassed to be all lovey-dovey with Emperor Wen here.
They've already shown off their affection to everyone; they should stop now.
Emperor Wen said, "Since we've finally come out, let me accompany you to Four Seas Tower for a meal before we go back. Isn't your favorite sweet fermented rice balls there?"
"It's too sweet, I don't want to eat it today."
Where would you like to eat?
"Have no idea."
As they spoke, the two walked out together, leaving the girls dumbfounded.
So this is how the emperor and empress interacted?
The Empress, who was kind and amiable to them, was quite different in front of the Emperor.
And that legendary emperor, known for his iron-fisted rule, was actually incredibly good-natured.
Let alone the emperor, how many men in ordinary families have such a good temper?
"Then I'll go with you and see whichever restaurant you like. We'll eat at whichever one you prefer."
"Okay."
Tang Zhuyun stepped out the door, then suddenly turned back and smiled at the girls, "When I look for a husband in the future, I will definitely find one as gentle as the Emperor."
Emperor Wen blushed and laughed, scolding, "Stop talking nonsense."
Tang Zhuyun waved to the giggling girls and took Emperor Wen's arm.
She wants to instill correct views on marriage and love in young women.
--Nothing is more important than a loving spouse than a title or privilege for one's wife and children.
When you stand on your own two feet and don't depend on others, you can focus more on the man himself when choosing a partner.
A man's most important value should be providing emotional support to women.
Once outside the courtyard, Tang Zhuyun released Emperor Wen.
Emperor Wen snorted, "Using someone and then discarding them?"
"Hehe, it's like discarding a donkey after it has served its purpose," Tang Zhuyun said with a grin.
"You wait and see how the donkey deals with you!"
Tang Zhuyun laughed loudly.
After discussing it for a long time, the two finally decided to go to Four Seas Tower.
After Tang Zhuyun had finished eating, Emperor Wen finally had the seal brought up.
Tang Zhuyun looked at the box, thinking that Emperor Wen had sent her another gift, and said, "Why are you sending me a gift when it's neither a holiday nor a festival?"
"Just open it and you'll see."
"What? Playing tricks?" Tang Zhuyun said with a smile.
However, the moment she opened the box, her mouth gaped open.
She saw the seal!
She saw the seal at the provincial museum!
how so?
This is a fictional era!
Grandpa...
Tang Zhuyun's eyes welled with tears.
This item couldn't have been copied by someone else, because it has too many sides, and she hadn't explained the details of its contents to Emperor Wen.
But what appeared before me was exactly the same as what I had seen in my past life.
So, this was the reason she came here?
Grandpa, and her family members who loved her deeply in her past life, they were the ones who sent her here, weren't they?
"You are mine, and you're mine forever." Emperor Wen put his arm around her shoulder, seemingly on the verge of tears.
He no longer had to worry about waking up to find her gone or replaced by someone else, which often caused him to wake up in the middle of the night in fear.
Tang Zhuzi ' elders were willing to entrust her to them.
He was extremely grateful and would cherish it forever!
Tang Zhuyun gently stroked the seal, as if she could see her grandfather's voice and smile through it.
Her eyes were filled with tears, but she said, "Grandpa, don't worry. Tangbao has found that person and will be happy forever."
She leaned on Emperor Wen's shoulder, and the afternoon sunlight of autumn streamed through the window, casting flickering shadows on the two of them.
Peaceful times, tranquil life.
(The scenes involving Tang Zhuzi and Emperor Wen have actually been mostly written a long time ago. Today, Emperor Wen's last worry has been resolved, and the two will be together forever~ There will be a side story about them later, and they will also appear when their children are paired up! There's also a surprise at the end~)
