From Princess of the Cold Palace to Empress of Heaven

it looks like...

shy?

Thinking of Xiao Minghuang's expression just now, Lin Wanqiu couldn't help but have a picture in his mind.

Xiao Minghuang's cheeks were flushed, she was charming, her lips were as bright as roses, and her pupils were like water, looking at her with affection.

Lin Wanqiu's face instantly turned red, and even the roots of her ears turned pink.

How could she think of this picture, she was ashamed to death.

What is she thinking?

How could someone as noble and elegant as His Highness do such a thing? She must be overthinking it.

She must have liked His Highness so much that she had such an illusion.

Lin Wanqiu shook her head, throwing all the charming things out of her mind.

She stretched out her hand to touch her hot face, her heartbeat was still astonishingly fast.

Lin Wanqiu sighed and shook her head, not daring to think about it anymore, she was afraid that her face would get hotter and hotter.

She shook her head, practiced the exercises secretly, suppressed all these thoughts, turned and walked towards her room.

89. Retreat, breakthrough!

That night.

The moonlight is hazy and the stars are bright.

There is a dazzling star hanging in the sky.

Surrounding the stars are dozens of small stars shining with star brilliance, and their existence makes the whole sky brighter.

Just under the cover of this starry sky, Xiao Minghuang walked out of the small courtyard, the flame in his heart gradually extinguished, and his cheeks returned to normal temperature.

She raised her hand to touch her cheek, feeling confused.

Why was her heart beating so fast just now?

Just now, when she saw Lin Wanqiu touching her hands, a thought suddenly occurred to her.

That is to hold that hand and interlock her fingers.

Want to be close to her, want to hold her in my arms, want to be close to her skin, want to kiss her lips, want to do something more intimate with her...

Xiao Minghuang didn't know what was wrong with her, she had never had such a strong thought.

However, at that moment just now, she really wanted to kiss Lin Wanqiu, to be close to her skin.

Before that, she had gotten close to Lin Wanqiu more than once, but her heart was clear, without any strangeness.

However, at that moment just now, there were waves of ripples in her heart, such a feeling has never been felt before.

what on earth is it?

Xiao Minghuang was puzzled.

In all her past and present lives, she has never felt this way before. Why is this?

"Forget it, let it be..."

Xiao Minghuang stopped being entangled in this, and hurried back to her room.

This night, she planned to retreat and hit the peak of Qi refining, but what happened just now made her feel uneasy, and there was no way to calm down, so she gave up for the time being.

The next morning.

Xiao Minghuang woke up early.

When I opened my eyes, I felt someone waiting in the yard.

She freshened up a bit, opened the door, and saw Lin Wanqiu standing in the courtyard in a delicate red dress.

The sun shone on Lin Wanqiu's white and flawless skin, reflecting a crystal clear light.

Xiao Minghuang couldn't help but stare blankly, but soon came back to his senses.

"Why did you come here so early?"

Xiao Minghuang chuckled, and walked towards Lin Wanqiu.

"Your Highness."

With a sweet smile on the corner of Lin Wanqiu's mouth, she asked mischievously:

"Do you know why I came here so early in the morning?"

Hearing this, the corners of Xiao Minghuang's mouth turned up slightly, and a smile appeared in the corners of his eyes. He glanced at Lin Wanqiu, and saw that her cultivation had not improved significantly, and she was still at the third level of Qi Refining.

Since it is not realm improvement, then there is only one possibility.

"Is it true that the children from Beiyang City have arrived?"

Apart from her, the only thing that can make Lin Wanqiu care so much is Beiyang City.

Lin Wanqiu nodded lightly and said:

"Hmm! Your Highness guessed really well. The children from Beiyang City just arrived this morning. I came to report to Your Highness as soon as I found out."

"it is good!"

Xiao Minghuang responded with a smile and said:

"Then let's go see them."

The two left the yard together and walked towards the martial arts arena in the Princess Mansion.

Soon.

The two came to the Martial Arts Arena. A group of girls...or girls, a total of 30 people, were gathering in the vast field, each standing with their familiar partners, chatting in a low voice about what they have seen and heard along the way.

They are all girls from various villages and towns in Beiyang City, either because of their outstanding talents or their dignified character, they were selected to enter Beijing and come here.

As Xiao Minghuang appeared on the martial arts arena, all the girls saw her, their eyes were full of awe, admiration and awe.

Xiao Minghuang wore a bright yellow luxurious dress with a jade belt around her waist and a phoenix hairpin on her head. She had exquisite facial features, a beautiful face, and skin like snow without any blemishes. A fairy in the world that mortals can reach.

In their view, this aloof Her Royal Highness the Princess is the existence they look up to.

Not only because Xiao Minghuang is the princess of Daxia, but also because she once beheaded the evil cultivators who caused chaos in Beiyang City, eliminating one harm for the place.

Afterwards, she represented Beiyang City in the battle against the Golden Elephant Kingdom, promoting the prestige of the Great Xia.

Afterwards, he personally fought against the beast horde and killed the tiger monster in the Qi Refining Realm. In order to defend Beiyang City, he spared no expense.

For Xiao Minghuang, this one after another may just be an ordinary experience.

But for the children present, they respected her like a god, and their gratitude cannot be expressed in words.

Xiao Minghuang stood still on the high platform of the Martial Arts Arena. She had a beautiful face and an extraordinary temperament, just like a mysterious girl descending from the nine heavens. The girls around couldn't help but bow their heads when they saw her, their cheeks were flushed, and they didn't dare to look directly at her. .

She looked around and found that all these girls looked sweet and cute, with well-behaved faces. She smiled and nodded:

"Very good, you are all very good. From today onwards, you will stay in the princess mansion. This princess will send a teacher to teach you. I hope you will study hard and live up to this princess' expectations of you!"

"In addition, your identities here are just the maids of this princess, not slaves. No one will bully you in the mansion!"

While speaking, Xiao Minghuang glanced at Wang Er who was standing aside.

Her eyes are flat, not angry and majestic.

Wang Er was suddenly stared at by this gaze, his face turned pale, and suddenly his back felt chills, trembling like walking on thin ice.

In the Princess Mansion, apart from Xiao Minghuang herself, there were only two girls, Ye Ruoshui and Lin Wanqiu.

Xiao Minghuang planned to ask them to help teach the children homework, so Wang Er was the only one who might be doing something secretly, so it would be better to beat them in advance.

All the girls saluted in response:

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!"

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!"

The immature children's voices sounded, not neatly, but scattered.

Xiao Minghuang glanced at the children, and said again:

"Okay, you can stay in the princess mansion now. After seven days, this princess will inspect your performance. If you don't meet the standard, you will still be sent back to Beiyang City, so you have to work hard!"

Hearing this, all the girls' faces turned pale, and their hearts were uneasy. Before they came, they didn't hear that there was an assessment?

This is no joke!

They all knew that if they were driven away, it would mean that they would never have the chance to follow Her Royal Highness.

If he returned to Beiyang City alone, how would he explain to his parents?

Seeing that their faces changed suddenly, as if they were facing a formidable enemy, Xiao Minghuang couldn't help laughing and said:

"Don't worry, everyone, this assessment is not difficult. It is mainly to see if you can abide by the rules of the Princess Mansion. As for other things, you don't need to worry about it. I hope that all thirty of you can stay here!"

After meeting the children, Xiao Minghuang turned and left.

On the martial arts arena, a group of girls gathered together with their acquaintances, beaming with excitement, chatting and chatting about what just happened in the Princess Mansion. Everything was very cheerful and enthusiastic.

They had smiles on their faces, talking about what happened just now, and they were all in a good mood.

Before coming, City Lord Lin personally explained to them that Her Royal Highness likes well-behaved and obedient girls.

Now hearing Her Royal Highness speak in person, it really confirmed this point.

But among the group of girls, there are three girls dressed in brocade clothes and skirts, gathered together, separated from the others, which is particularly different.

A girl in the middle, with an unhappy expression, said to her companion beside her:

"My grandpa told me to follow the Ninth Princess to practice, so why did I become a maid again? This young lady is the third lady of the Liu family, how can I be someone else's maid? Even if she is the Ninth Princess, it may not be too insulting!"

One of the companions also showed displeasure, and said:

"That's right, how can our identities be the same as those commoners, the Ninth Princess is too contemptuous of people!"

Another advised:

"We are in the Princess Mansion now, so we should be cautious in our words and deeds!"

The two stopped talking, but there was still a trace of unwillingness in their eyes.

...

After Xiao Minghuang left the martial arts arena, Lin Wanqiu also followed.

"Your Highness, how do you plan to teach these children? They are still young, and now they come to a strange place. Once the novelty passes, they will be homesick, and it will be very difficult to deal with."

Xiao Minghuang didn't have any experience in educating children. She thought about it and suggested:

"I have time to go to the palace and invite a few nuns to teach the children etiquette. I will also find a few martial artists to help the children lay the foundation first."

While speaking, she glanced at Lin Wanqiu, and said with a slight smile:

"Wan Qiu, do you want to be a teacher?"

"what?"

Lin Wanqiu was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood, and said with a smile:

"Your Highness, you don't want me to be your children's teacher, do you?"

Xiao Minghuang nodded slightly, and said with a smile:

"That's right, I believe you will be a good teacher. I will be able to rest assured that I will teach these children in the future. I don't want these children to be taught by those who have bad conduct. Only by handing them over to you can I rest assured."

"Also, while you are teaching the children, you can also temper your own foundation, review the basic martial arts, kill two birds with one stone, why not do it?"

"Don't worry, I won't let you be tied to this matter all the time. You just need to check the children's cultivation situation every morning, and explain it to me every once in a while."

Hearing this, Lin Wanqiu understood that what she wanted to do was not a master who took care of the children in every detail, but a teacher who only took on the role of teaching guidance.

After understanding this point, Lin Wanqiu didn't refuse anymore, and readily agreed.

"Okay, if that's the case, then I promise Your Highness!"

Seeing that she agreed, Xiao Minghuang smiled and said:
