Chapter 2: The Myriad Peaks of Heaven!
The officials stared at the sky, but dared not speak ill of the little princess.
However, several of their senior officials could truly recognize that it was Princess Jinyang!
"Someone! Prepare the horses!" Li Shimin wanted to rush back to Lizheng Hall to check on things.
How did my little ox fly up to the sky?
Li Shimin couldn't believe it.
What if it's not? Could it be that the celestial child and the rhinoceros look exactly alike?
Lizheng Hall.
Empress Zhangsun stood beneath the sky and immediately spotted her youngest daughter appearing in the heavens!
"Rhinoceros, Rhinoceros, how did you get up there... Come down quickly... Did an immortal take you there... Tell me... Let the immortal send you back..."
Empress Zhangsun felt a sharp pain in her chest, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
Just now, on her way back to the palace after visiting the ailing Consort Yan, she was informed by her maid that the baby was missing!
The maids searched most of the palace but couldn't find it. Just as Empress Zhangsun was about to report to Li Shimin, thunder rumbled in the sky, followed by the appearance of a canopy.
"Sizi... my poor Sizi..." Empress Zhangsun cried so hard she could barely stand.
"Your Highness, please take care of yourself!" Two maids carefully supported the Empress.
"Guanyinbi!"
Li Shimin couldn't wait any longer and had already ridden a fast horse back to the Empress's Palace.
"Erlang! Our Sizi... has reached the heavens..." Empress Zhangsun was too weak to even speak.
"Guanyinbi, don't worry! It's a good thing that Sizi has gone to heaven. This child has always been weak, but now that she's in the celestial realm, won't her illness be cured? Let's wait and see," Li Shimin gently advised.
"Yes. For the sake of Si Zi's health, I am willing for her to stay in the Immortal Realm. I hope the immortals will treat our Si Zi well." Empress Zhangsun wiped away her tears.
The couple continued to gaze at the sky.
On the celestial screen, the immortal looked young, handsome, and gentle; Little Sizi should be willing to be with him.
The celestial palace is indeed different from the mortal realm, exuding simplicity, elegance, and sophistication.
The immortals' tables and chairs are all tall, and their doors and windows are bright, large square lattice windows, seemingly empty, allowing a direct view of the green trees outside.
The ground beneath the immortals' statues was like a mirror, covered with gray-white clouds, spotless and immaculate.
The fact that Sizi can live here is a blessing earned through countless lifetimes!
The emperor and empress gradually felt at ease.
"May my son be safe and happy in the celestial realm! May the immortals bless him." Empress Zhangsun clasped her hands together.
"I hope the immortal will take good care of the rhinoceros. Li Shimin thanks you." Li Shimin also bowed and thanked him.
Chang'an City.
Whether in the east or west markets, in the fields, or even inside the imperial palace, everything was shrouded in a vast sky.
A magnificent and grand picture unfolds before people's eyes.
The people looked up in awe.
"What a huge painting!"
"This is the realm of immortals!"
"A mere child from our dynasty ascends to the celestial realm?"
"This little one is dressed as a princess! I've seen her in picture books!"
"Oh! Our little princess has been adopted as a fairy child?"
"That immortal will surely protect our Great Tang!"
The people completely forgot what they were doing and stopped to watch.
After the court session, none of the officials rushed to leave. Instead, they gathered in the Taiji Hall square to look at the sky.
Changsun Wuji: "That's Princess Jinyang! She's dining in the Celestial Realm!"
Cheng Yaojin stretched out his big hand and greeted, "Hey! Little princess! Have you seen Uncle Cheng? When are you coming down? Take Uncle Cheng up to the sky for a bit of fun too!"
Qin Qiong patted Cheng Yaojin on the shoulder: "Cough cough... Yaojin, save your energy. Didn't the little princess hear you?"
Cheng Yaojin glanced at Qin Qiong dismissively, "Hey, Brother Qin, you should ask him for help. What if a deity can restore your health to its original state?"
Qin Qiong: "Thank you for the reminder, my brother. I will go home and ask for it."
Cheng Yaojin's eyes lit up. "Hey! Brother Qin, you're so clever! I'll hurry home and set up an altar!"
Qin Qiong was dumbfounded. Did I say anything?
The ministers hurried home.
The Qin Dynasty, Xianyang Palace.
Ying Zheng's morning court session was "closed".
Suddenly, a series of cracking sounds rang out, and golden light shone brightly from above!
The sky has cracked open!
A gigantic canopy of sky ignored the existence of the roof and appeared domineeringly before everyone's eyes!
"Your Majesty! This is divine light shining everywhere!" Zhao Gao was the first to kneel down.
"Hmm?" Ying Zheng's eyes were sharp; this was a ruthless character.
"The divine light has appeared in the world, what instructions do you have for my Great Qin?" Ying Zheng looked up at the celestial screen.
"Your Majesty, the immortal's attire is truly extraordinary, but the little girl's attire is more similar to that of our dynasty," Li Si advised.
"Hmm. The immortals are dressed very well; our Great Qin should follow suit." Ying Zheng had a new inspiration.
"Your Majesty is wise! This kind of attire would be very cool in the summer," Zhao Gao quickly agreed.
"Truly worthy of being called an immortal! Even with such short hair and a short shirt, he still appears handsome and otherworldly! He is not as coarse as the Huns!" another minister remarked.
"That child's clothes are also very beautiful! They are elegant and luxurious, as light as clouds. Women in our dynasty would certainly feel comfortable wearing them!" Li Si judged.
"Excellent! Please invite the painter to the palace! Quickly, paint down the immortal's robes!" Ying Zheng was in high spirits.
"Quickly, go and summon the painter!" Zhao Gao shouted in his hoarse voice.
The Three Kingdoms period.
Xudu.
Cao Cao was writing poetry at his desk.
Suddenly, a loud boom was heard, followed by rolling thunder.
A flash of white light appeared in the room.
What followed was a slowly unfurling scroll, magnificent and shimmering.
"Prime Minister! This, this is the Immortal Curtain!" Dian Wei, standing to the side, exclaimed, his eyes wide open!
"Oh?" Cao Cao narrowed his eyes. "The heavens have descended upon the world; this is an auspicious sign!"
"So this is what the immortal realm is like!"
"The houses in the immortal realm are so beautiful! The people in the immortal realm are all dressed so well! The doors and windows in the immortal realm are so big!" Dian Wei didn't know how to describe it.
"The immortal realm is indeed extraordinary. What is the relationship between that immortal and the child? They look like siblings!"
When the war ends, I also long to live such a leisurely and beautiful courtyard life!
That little fairy boy is about the same age as my Chong'er, just as lively and adorable.” Cao Cao stroked his beard and smiled.
The Ming Dynasty Dimension.
After a thunderstorm, Empress Ma accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang for a walk in the garden.
The wind and clouds changed rapidly, and the bright sunlight shone through the clouds, warmly bathing the earth.
"My dear sister, look! Heaven knows you want to get some fresh air, so it's smiling down on you. Hahaha!" Zhu Yuanzhang, supporting the heavily pregnant Empress Ma, couldn't stop laughing.
"Zhongba, you really know how to tell jokes."
At the same time, a huge scroll slowly unfolded in the sky!
"Hey! Girl! Look, a painting has appeared in the sky! And it's even moving! Is God inviting us to a grand show?" Zhu Yuanzhang stopped in his tracks.
"Chongba! We have seen a fairyland!" Empress Ma's eyes were full of piety.
"Look, girl, the walls of that fairy's house are covered in floral fabric! The roof is divided into several layers! And the floor, what kind of stone is it made of? It's shinier than a mirror! And there are beautiful cloud patterns..."
Zhu Yuanzhang grew increasingly envious as he spoke, exclaiming, "If our palace were even half as good as this, it would be perfect!"
"Chongba, I do like that little fairy boy up there. I wish we could have a daughter like that." Empress Ma smiled happily.
"Yes! I also long for a daughter! I already have three sons, it's time for a daughter..." Zhu Yuanzhang helped Empress Ma continue walking, with the sky always in front of them.
The same scene also occurred in the Han Dynasty.
The young Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, was also staring at the sky.
"This is heaven? I am fortunate enough to see the celestial palace; heaven has been kind to me..."
Suddenly, the little princess lost her appetite. She smacked her little spoon down and prepared to leave at any moment.
"Hey little princess, are you from the Tang Dynasty?" Lu Chen watches period dramas every day and has some knowledge of ancient costumes.
