From Princess of the Cold Palace to Empress of Heaven

Lin Wanqiu just smiled and replied with tenderness in her eyes:

"I will learn whatever Your Highness asks me to learn."

Upon hearing these words, Xiao Minghuang felt warm in his heart.

Girls are so cute!

She likes it so much!

In the end, Xiao Minghuang decided to let Lin Wanqiu learn the sword after considering various factors.

One is because there are many sword cultivation methods, so there are many paths to refer to. This is not a lonely path, but a smooth road, which can be walked relatively easily.

During this period, Xiao Minghuang tried to teach Ye and Lin the chapters of "Ziwei Emperor Dao Jing" and "Big Dipper Sword Art" on refining Qi, but after reading it, they all said that these two exercises and martial arts were too esoteric , obscure and difficult to understand, even the beginners can't do it.

This also caused doubts in Xiao Minghuang's heart. When she learned these two martial arts and martial arts, she only read them a few times before getting started easily.

Now that I think about it, there must be some mystery in it that she doesn't know.

In the end, Xiao Minghuang taught the two daughters Ye and Lin a top-grade yellow-ranked exercise "Pure Yuan Gong".

Although the rank of this exercise is not high, it is superior in that it has mild attributes and is better than building a foundation. If you get other exercises in the future, you can immediately modify it without any impact.

Earlier, Xiao Minghuang had given "Dragon Soul Heart Technique" to Ye Ruoshui, but after that accident, this technique returned to her hands.

After all, this is the secret martial arts passed down by the royal family. If the ancestors found out that she taught and received it privately, it would be embarrassing.

Besides, she has a system in her body, and it won't be long before she can obtain high-level exercises, and it's not too late to teach them to Ye and Lin.

70. Congratulations to Princess Nine, Double Happiness

Earlier, Xiao Minghuang had given "Dragon Soul Heart Technique" to Ye Ruoshui, but after that accident, this technique returned to her hands.

As time passed, Xiao Minghuang and his party finally returned to the imperial city one month before the start of the competition.

Because Emperor Xia retreated and entrusted all matters to the royal family to enshrine and discuss with the courtiers, so Xiao Minghuang didn't need to enter the palace to face the saint, and returned directly to the Princess Mansion.

Along the way, Xiao Minghuang walked very slowly, and would tell Lin Wanqiu about the local conditions and customs in the imperial city. Ye Ruoshui added from time to time, and the three girls laughed like silver bells from time to time, and came out of the carriage, attracting passers-by. , fall in love with it.

After entering the city, it was another half day of stop and go, and finally returned to the princess mansion in the evening.

After getting off the car, Wang Jin stepped forward to say goodbye.

"Your Highness, the old slave was ordered to escort His Highness to the north. The business here is over, and the old slave will go back to the palace to hand in the order."

During the nearly one-month journey, Xiao Minghuang hardly had time to practice. He had to look for opportunities and also accompany the two daughters Ye and Lin. :

"The prince can do as he pleases."

Wang Jin bowed down, turned around and turned into a rainbow.

Glancing at Wang Jinyuan's Liu Guang, Xiao Minghuang turned around and walked into the mansion.

Within the imperial city, she doesn't need to worry about her own safety.

Even King Wu'an would not dare to risk the displeasure of the world by assassinating the princess in the imperial city.

Such a crime is enough to ruin his life and reputation!

The two daughters Ye and Lin could also see that Xiao Minghuang was tired, so they didn't disturb her either.

Ye Ruoshui led Lin Wanqiu in a very sensible way to choose a small courtyard to settle down in. Other matters will be discussed tomorrow.

...

The next morning.

Xiao Minghuang opened his eyes, his mind was clear, and he got out of bed.

She pushed open the door, her eyes were crystal clear, she stretched her arms, showing a soft and beautiful body curve, the transparent sunlight shone on her snow-white skin, like tiny stars shining, her whole person looked radiant and elegant noble.

"I haven't slept so comfortably in a long time!"

Xiao Minghuang had a smile on her face. During the days on the return trip, she was tired of being with Ye and Lin all day long. At first she felt very happy, but as time passed, it was inevitable that there would be some inconvenience.

"Distance produces beauty, the ancients are sincere, don't deceive me!"

Xiao Minghuang stood at the door, basking in the sun for a while, his thoughts gradually calmed down, and he began to think about the Dabi.

"Besides me, there are eight other princes. The eldest prince was born with a disabled body, and he has been exiled for many years, so there is nothing to worry about."

"The third prince, the fourth prince, and the eighth prince have always been mediocre, and their reputations are not obvious, so there should be no need to pay too much attention to them."

"Among the remaining people, the Seventh Prince has already been abolished by me, so there is no need to care about it. Then only the Second Prince, Fifth Prince, and Sixth Prince need to be cared about."

Xiao Minghuang thought for a moment, then walked out of the room. She had been away from the capital for several months, and she was going to find the manager of the house, and inquired in detail about the recent situation in the capital.

Soon.

The two daughters Xiao Minghuang, Ye and Lin, and Wang Er, the steward of the family, appeared in the main hall.

Ye Ruoshui and Lin Wanqiu were cultivating separately when Xiao Minghuang suddenly called them over. At this moment, they looked confused and didn't know what happened.

The corners of Xiao Minghuang's mouth turned up slightly, showing a hint of a smile, and said:

"Royal Dabi, I told you before that I called you here today because I want you to analyze the situation in Beijing and China for me."

Hearing this, Ye Ruoshui didn't react at all, and still leaned on Xiao Minghuang's shoulder with a lazy look.

Lin Wanqiu understood Xiao Minghuang's meaning, her expression became solemn, she looked at Steward Wang, and asked softly:

"Steward Wang, please tell me about the situation in Beijing!"

Yesterday evening, Ye Ruoshui led Lin Wanqiu to meet the servants in the mansion.

As the housekeeper, Wang Er naturally knew Lin Wanqiu's identity.

Miss Beiyang City!

Moreover, she is also the young master personally identified by the nine princesses, and her honor is no worse than Ye Ruoshui.

Therefore, he didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest, and told all the situation he knew in detail.

During the two months, many things happened in the capital, and at the critical moment when the royal competition was about to start, the situation became even more complicated.

"Not long after His Highness left the capital, rumors spread that the Second Prince had broken through the Yongquan Realm, and he was the undisputed candidate for the crown prince!"

"Three months ago, the sixth prince returned to Beijing..."

"Two months ago, the Fifth Prince returned to Beijing..."

"A month and a half ago, several other princes also returned to Beijing one after another..."

Following Wang Er's narration, the situation in Beijing gradually became clearer.

The strong contender for the royal competition was not what Xiao Minghuang expected.

The second prince, the fifth prince, and the sixth prince.

These three have the potential to compete with her.

But it's just a possibility.

Although Xiao Minghuang is only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, there is still one month before the start of the Grand Competition. During this period of time, her realm will definitely be greatly improved.

You know, during the month of the return trip, she kept suppressing her cultivation and did not make a breakthrough.

If she hadn't been suppressed, she would have been promoted to the eighth level of Qi refining.

Among several competitors, only the second prince showed his realm.

Yongquanjing!

Although I don't know how many levels it is, it must be either the first level or the second level.

After all, the second prince is a child of the royal family, and his foundation must be much stronger than that of a small role like the old man in yellow, but he may not be as good as a genius of the sect like Wang Bao.

With her improved strength, she should be easily defeated.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Minghuang came to a conclusion.

"Second prince, nothing to worry about!"

Now, all she needs to consider is whether there will be a dark horse among the fifth and sixth princes that will become her stumbling block.

Or.

Which one is a better stepping stone!

Until Steward Wang finished speaking, the sun gradually rose to the right sky.

Xiao Minghuang ordered Steward Wang to prepare lunch, and then ate with Ye and Lin.

The food was placed in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, the breeze was cool, the scenery was pleasant, and the three of them enjoyed themselves in harmony, creating a harmonious scene.

At this time, Steward Wang suddenly came to report.

"The prince came to pass the decree, and he has already arrived at the main hall."

Xiao Minghuang nodded and said:

"Understood, you go and report to the prince and say that I will be there soon."

She turned her head to look at Ye and Lin, and said softly:

"I'll come as soon as I go, you guys eat first."

Ye and Lin nodded obediently.

After a few breaths, Xiao Minghuang came to the entrance of the main hall and saw Wang Jin from a distance.

At this time, Wang Jin was not wearing that black robe, but a red robe, looking very festive.

As soon as he saw her, he looked happy and said with a smile:

"Congratulations to the ninth princess, congratulations to the ninth princess, good luck, double happiness!"

71. The nine princesses must have deep meaning in doing this!

"Where did the prince come from?"

Xiao Minghuang frowned slightly, and asked.

With a smile on her face, Wang Jin held the imperial decree in her hand and said:

"Have you forgotten, Your Highness, that day in Beiyang City, you awakened the spiritual roots of the five elements of the sky, the five-colored light shone on the sky, and the golden lotus poured down from the sky and rained down from the ground? That kind of vision is an unrivaled arrogance!"

Hearing this, Xiao Minghuang's complexion was as usual, exposing her aptitude to Wang Jin was equivalent to exposing her to Emperor Xia.

This was as early as she expected.

After discovering her amazing talent, Emperor Xia will definitely show more kindness to her, and even devote all the efforts of the royal family to cultivate it.

Wang Jin saw that Princess Jiu's face remained unchanged, and sighed secretly:

"Although Princess Nine is young, she is mature, stable, intelligent, not to mention talent, and her disposition alone is far superior to the other princes."

After listening to Wang Jin's flattery, Xiao Minghuang smiled slightly and said:

"The prince has won the award, but His Majesty has a decree?"

"Not bad!"

The prince responded, took out a storage bag from his sleeve, handed it to Xiao Minghuang, and said respectfully:

"In this storage bag are the spirit stone elixir given to you by His Majesty, and some other resources. Please have a look at it, Your Highness."

Xiao Minghuang nodded, took the storage bag, and roughly glanced at it. It was nothing more than some spiritual stone pills. She didn't pay attention to it for now, looked at Wang Jin, and asked softly:

"The prince said just now that I have double happiness, what do you mean by that?"

Wang Jin was all smiles, his eyes almost narrowed, and said:

"Your Majesty knows that you and Miss Lin are in love with each other, so Longyan Dayue plans to hold a wedding ceremony for His Highness when you are made the heir apparent after the royal competition!"

"At that time, since you will be established as the heir apparent, and your lover will finally get married, you will get the second of the three great joys in life. This is called double happiness!"

Wang Jin's tone was smiling, and she looked happier than her rightful owner.
