Before going to South Stream Temple to study, Xu Yourong had already left behind many famous deeds in the capital. At the time, she was still very young. She had once jumped into the Luo River, saying that there was a moon there. She would often climb those stone pillars in front of the Li Palace, saying that she wanted to see the stars. There was also one time when she almost jumped into that abandoned well at New North Bridge when no one was paying attention.
It was said that when she was prepared to jump into that abandoned well at New North Bridge, it was the Divine Empress who saved her.
At the time, Xu Yourong was not even five years old.
The citizens of the capital could recite these things backwards. From their point of view, they watched Xu You Rong grow up. She was the most favored daughter of the capital. That was why the city was so angry at Chen Chang Sheng and the Tradition Academy was under so much pressure when they found out about the marriage contract at the Ivy Festival.
The little Black Dragon thought of the Tianhai Divine Empress and subconsciously felt timid. After a while, she came to her senses and said, "In other words, your life truly was changed by her."
Xu Yourong faintly smiled. "Perhaps."
… …
… …
With or without the Tianhai Divine Empress, Xu Yourong, who possessed the bloodline of the Heavenly Phoenix, would still have been able to reach her current level of success.
But no one could deny that this woman who had once dominated the continent had truly changed the lives of many people.
Mo Yu was the most typical example of this.
If not for the Tianhai Divine Empress, how could this orphan girl whose entire clan had been executed have become the Grand Lady Mo whose power could overturn all levels of society?
As he gazed at the ten-some orange lanterns hanging in front of the gate, exuding a warm light, Chen Changsheng thought of the changes that had taken place in the last few years and couldn't help but feel somewhat emotional.
It had been many years since he had come to the capital from Xining Village, and he had known Mo Yu for a long time, but tonight was his first time visiting the legendary Orange Garden.
He could sense the powerful Qi of the array in the Orange Garden, and he could also sense the watchers and guards hidden in the darkness.
It was very obvious that even though she was about to marry that prince, there were still many people who were unwilling to let Mo Yu return to the capital, maintaining a fierce vigilance and hostility towards her.
Chen Changsheng had no intention of hiding his tracks. Raising the Yellow Paper Umbrella, he walked to the gate.
The gate of the orange garden opened and then closed. With two creaks, several flakes of snow fell.
As the garden gate closed, there was a sudden commotion in the night. A dozen or so figures broke through the wind and snow, rushing toward various parts of Jingdou.
After the Pope left the Divine General of the East's mansion, he went to the Orange Garden.
In a short amount of time, this news spread throughout Jingdou. Naturally, it also spread to the manors on the two sides of the Road of Peace.
In the worst location and most unremarkable prince's estate, the Prince of Louyang was constantly pacing around like an ant on a hot pan. The window of his study was wide open, allowing snowflakes to fly in from time to time, but they still could not lessen the sweat on his chubby, round face.
He suddenly stopped, looked at a woman, and said with a bitter face, "What should we do? What should we do? "
The woman was very confused and said, "Your Highness, this means that His Holiness the Pope values the Princess. This is an extremely good thing."
The Prince of Louyang gave her a resentful glance and said, "You also know that it's a princess …"
"My heavens." The woman finally understood what he meant and asked in shock, "Could it be that Your Highness is jealous?"
The Prince of Louyang snorted for a long time, but in the end, he did not dare to speak clearly, but his meaning was very clear.
If this woman were not his aunt and had come all the way from Ruzhou to manage his marriage, he would not have dared to reveal even the slightest of these intentions.
Everyone said that the princes of the Chen clan had regained their power, but he was the least promising of them all, and his opponent … was the Pope.
The woman snapped, "Everyone knows of the relationship between His Holiness and the Holy Maiden. Just what nonsense is Your Highness thinking? If not for the Princess's face, how could His Holiness have agreed to preside over the wedding? If not for this relationship, would His Holiness have placed you in such an important place as Taichang Temple? "
Upon hearing these words, the Prince of Louyang immediately forgot his jealousy, but the sweat that he had just stopped began to pour out once more. With a sobbing tone, he said, "The people of the Tianhai clan and several princes are all eyeing that position. I didn't think that His Holiness would have me go. I've offended so many people. What should I do?"
… …
… …
Chen Changsheng glanced out the window and saw that it was still snowing.
He cared a great deal about cleanliness, but he still did not understand why women were willing to bathe in such cold weather.
Mo Yu was truly worthy of being the most famous beauty of the Tianhai Dynasty. Even though she had just come out of the bath, her face was still as picturesque and beautiful as ever.
The most famous event in the capital in the last two years was probably Mo Yu's return.
Those princes of the Chen clan who hated the Tianhai Divine Empress to the bone had not made things difficult for her for several reasons.
The Mo clan had suffered an extremely tragic fate in the previous dynasty, a fact that garnered the sympathy of many civil officials of the old dynasty.
More importantly, she had been personally summoned back to the palace by His Holiness.
And for the sake of her deceased grandfather, that famous Grand Scholar, Shang Xingzhou had expressed his tacit approval of this.
There was another important reason: she was about to marry a prince surnamed Chen, and it was that most hopeless, most useless, and least threatening prince.
"I still don't understand why you want to marry him."
Chen Changsheng's question was also the question of all the people of the capital.
No matter what they thought of Mo Yu, whether they loved or hated her, she was still Grand Lady Mo.
Everyone felt that the prince was not worthy of her.
"What's not good about him? He's honest and dutiful, he has no ambition. I've known him since I was a child, and most importantly, he is willing to trust me unconditionally. "
Mo Yu sat on the edge of the bed, using a soft cotton towel to wipe her damp hair. She casually replied, "When the capital was in such chaos, he brought those subordinates that his brothers had shoved over to the Orange Garden. He said to others that he wanted to seek my protection, but in reality, he wanted to protect me. I have to return this favor."
Chen Changsheng knew of this matter, as did all the people of the capital.
On the night of the coup of the Mausoleum of Books, ten-some princes entered the capital, taking enormous risks to separately attack the various ministries and important places. Only the Prince of Louyang led a group of experts to flee the capital, not daring to do anything, not daring to kill a single person. He only wanted to find the Orange Garden, but in the end, he still got lost.
This was not a beautiful story, but a laughingstock, even a joke.
In the view of many people, the Prince of Louyang was a joke.
Chen Changsheng also felt that this prince was too mediocre and useless, truly not a good match.
"What is a good match? It's fine as long as he treats me well. "
Mo Yu suddenly thought of something and said, "In the future, treat him a little better. Don't be so rude."
Chen Changsheng replied, "I'm just giving you a few words of advice as a friend. Since you don't agree, I naturally won't say them again."
Mo Yu glared at him and said, "I'm talking about the matter of the Prince of Luling's estate. Look at how scared he's become. You clearly know that he's a coward."
Not even Chen Changsheng understood why he had been so rude to the Prince of Louyang that day in the Prince of Luling's estate.
"He was acting as a messenger for you, master and disciple, but in the end, nothing good happened. He's truly unlucky."
Mo Yu said, "You were wrong in this matter."
Chen Changsheng said, "I won't be like this in the future."
Mo Yu was rather unhappy that he had agreed. She said, "Come here."
Chen Changsheng froze, asking, "Do what?"
Mo Yu said, "I want to sleep with you in my arms."
