  Ding Ruo brought back the waterskin made of deerskin, and Liu Shi and Lan Xin were safe and sound as usual. Ding Ruo felt relieved, and the bloody incident had happened to her instead. Ding Ruo smiled and handed the waterskin to Liu Shi, "Ive tasted it, its quite sweet."

  Lius family unscrewed the water bottle cap and took a sip, her daughter personally went to fetch water. Liu was satisfied that it was the sweetest spring water she had ever drunk, so she drank two more mouthfuls. Ding Rou helped Liu tidy up her hair, "Mother, lets go climb the mountain top later."

  "Alright, lets go to the mountaintop." Liu Shi and Ding Rou leaned on each other, taking a short rest. Liu Shi wasnt sure if she had the energy to climb to the top, but she didnt want to disappoint Ding Rou, so she insisted on going up together with her. Ding Rou supported Liu Shi as they climbed, and Lan Xin watched from the side, feeling warmth in her heart. The mother-daughter duo relied on each other for survival, and Sixth Miss had changed, becoming someone who inspired warmth and made people want to get close to her and trust her.

  After resting for a while, Ding Rou helped Liu Shi get up. Before Lan Xin could move, she bent down to smooth out the wrinkles on Liu Shis clothes and adjusted her hairpin. With a smile, she said: "Mother, lets go."

  Lius gentle smile, with a girl everything is enough, she has Ding Rou to accompany her, and she is content. Liu had heard that the top of Luofeng Mountain was once a place where gods descended, it was a place where the founding empress often went, it was said that if one was illuminated by the five-colored clouds, they would receive blessings from the empress, and thus Luofeng Mountain got its name. She must go to the top with her daughter, if she cant make it up, Ding Rou will accompany her, missing the clouds would be a pity.

  Ding Ruo supported Liu Shi, her eyes slightly turning to guess Liu Shis thoughts. Her tone was light and cheerful, like a naive little girl leaning on her mother, "Mother, tell me about the events at Luofeng Mountain."

  Liu was illiterate, but she knew some folk tales. Since Ding Ruo woke up, Liu had been in a state of being taken care of. She was content with this, but as Ding Ruos birth mother, there was an underlying awkwardness. It could be considered the sweet trouble of having a filial and sensible daughter. Now that Ding Ruo asked about the legend of Luofeng Mountain, Liu gained spirit and secretly thought that what she had asked Zhang Mama when Ding Ruo wasnt around would finally come in handy. Liu spoke about the various rumors surrounding Luofeng Mountain, with the most being about the legend of the founding empress of the Great Qin dynasty.

  "It is said that the founding empress was a heavenly goddess who descended to earth to assist Emperor Xuanzong in his reincarnation, reviving the dynasty and driving out the Mongolian slaves."

  "Oh, theres this saying too."

  Ding Ruos eyes twitched, and Ziwei Emperor Jun and the Goddess of Heaven were reborn. That couple who crossed over was about to become gods, no wonder they were so, planning to fight for the throne, just wearing a cloak of myth. Ding Ruo thought of something and asked: "Does Empress Taizu often come to Luofeng Mountain? Didnt Emperor Taizu accompany her?"

  Liu said: "I heard that the elders said that Tai Zus empress often came, and Tai Zu emperor was probably busy with government affairs."

  "Taizu Emperor had several sons, didnt he? Taizu Empress was a heavenly goddess, she should have given birth to many princes." Ding Rou subconsciously narrowed her eyes, busy with government affairs and accompanying his wife? This remark made Ding Rou unhappy, being too busy was just an excuse for men to be unfaithful, Ding Rou had personally experienced it before, wasnt that how her ex-husband cheated on her with Ding Min?

  "Emperor Taizu had eight sons, four of whom were born to the empress. After ascending the throne, Emperor Taizu only selected women to enter the palace as companions, and except for the princes born to the empress, the rest of the consorts sons were not very old."

  Its no wonder that once he became the emperor, he forgot about his wife. The inferior nature of men - and yet he was a man who had received modern education on monogamy. He must have been eager to adapt to the ancient practice of having multiple wives. The empress often came alone to Luofeng Mountain, in spring to see the peach blossoms and in autumn to see the maples. She didnt come to admire the scenery, but to clear her mind and relieve her boredom. Luofeng Mountain was full of maple trees, and as she listened to the rustling sound of the leaves, it seemed as if she was telling Ding Yu about the unfulfilled desires of her predecessor who had traveled through time. Ding Yu could empathize with all sorts of feelings. A wife who is not discarded is one who is loved and cherished - but does that mean the husband has feelings and integrity?

  When he rebelled, his wife accompanied him. When he recruited wise ministers and good generals, his wife provided advice and strategy. Ding Rou remembered that Taizu Emperor had once been defeated and humiliated, but it was his wife who scolded him awake and made him regroup. Where were those concubines during the difficult days? Only when they became rich and enjoyed fortune did they emerge. And as for the man who crossed over to become emperor and rewarded her with the position of empress, Ding Rou gripped Liu Shis hand tightly. She had to find records of books from that time. A man who cannot share hardships but can only share wealth is useless.

  A sharp glint flashed in her eyes, and the corners of Dings lips rose slightly. If she were the founding empress now, perhaps it wouldnt be a mans world after all. Without the strict constraints on women during the Ming and Qing dynasties, they could have chased away the Mongolian iron cavalry, revitalized the Central Plains, broken through the cumbersome formalities, and had the halo of a goddess. Along with Taizu conquering the country, Ding thought that in the hearts of the founding ministers, Empress Taizu was also worthy of respect. What a great opportunity... why couldnt she establish herself as an empress?

  Wu Zetian was able to replace the Tang Dynasty, why cant she do it? Ding Rou felt regretful and had more interest in that secret affair of the past. Lius glance caught Ding Rous seemingly smiling yet not quite smiling gaze, Ding Rous appearance made ones heart feel hairy, "Xiao Rou?"

  Ding Rous face lit up with a smile, and she regained her usual warmth. "Mother, you continue to speak, Im listening."

  Lius family looked at Ding Rou, could it be that she had misjudged her just now? Lius thoughts were simple, and since her daughter liked to listen, she said with a smile, "The Taizu Emperor was most fond of the birth mother of the sixth imperial son, the Imperial Noble Consort. It is said that the sixth imperial son was born with an auspicious sign, and the Imperial Noble Consort was the number one beauty in the land, captivating the Taizu Emperor to the point where he couldnt get enough of her."

  "The position of Imperial Noble Consort is second only to that of the Empress, and Emperor Taizu truly doted on her." Even the title of Imperial Noble Consort was brought out, Ding Rou remembered that it was a creation of the Qing dynasty, Emperor Taizu went to great lengths to indulge his favorite concubine. "Is the Sixth Prince the Hidden King mentioned in the book?"

  Liu nodded, "After failing to contend for the throne with the current Emperor, the Emperor could not bear to have his brothers and kin turn against each other, so he exiled the Sixth Prince. Later, the Sixth Prince died of illness on the way, and was known as the Hidden King."

  Ding Ruo couldnt ask any deeper, for one, even if she asked further, Liu Shi might not know the answer. Secondly, it wasnt the right time to ask such questions. Ding Ruo was trying to distract Liu Shi by making her talk, so that she would repeat what happened on the mountain, which would make things easier and more effective. Unbeknownst to them, they were getting close to the top of the mountain. Ding Ruo paid attention to Liu Shis physical condition, who wasnt fond of going out and wasnt in good health either. However, seeing that they were about to reach the top, Liu Shi had no choice but to climb up. Liu Shi took a step forward, unintentionally putting her weight on Ding Ruos body, moving upwards step by step. Ding Ruo didnt rush, "Mother, slow down, Im tired, lets walk slowly."

  Ding Ruo consciously slowed down her pace, and Liu Shi knew that Ding Ruo was doing it for her. Liu Shis heart felt even sweeter, and her feet seemed to have gained some strength. The mother-daughter duo walked and stopped until they finally reached the top of the mountain. Ding Ruo let go of Liu Shi and gazed at the rolling clouds on the horizon, with layers of mountains and a majestic atmosphere. Ding Ruo closed her eyes and felt much more relieved.

  "Xiao Rou, halo, halo all over the sky." Mrs. Liu pointed to the golden glow at the horizon, Ding Rou opened her eyes and looked, but the auspicious sign was just a common refraction of light in modern times. Ding Rou pulled Mrs. Liu into an embrace, since she believed it, why not humor her and make her happy? "Mother, lets bathe together in the halo."

  "Alright, trick me, can talk." A voice of annoyance came from behind Ding Rou, "Actually dare to trick me."
