From Princess of the Cold Palace to Empress of Heaven

"His Highness asked Miss Lin to go to the Huxin Pavilion for dinner."

Ye Ruoshui nodded, and immediately walked towards the Huxin Pavilion.

...

In the pavilion in the middle of the lake, the lights inside the pavilion were brightly lit, illuminating the surroundings, and the lake was rippling with blue waves. In the pavilion in the middle of the lake, Xiao Minghuang was sitting in it, holding a white jade cup, sipping fragrant tea.

Beside her, leaning against a young girl with a charming face, she was pouring tea and wine for her with her head lowered.

The girl was Lin Wanqiu, and she handed the wine glass to Xiao Minghuang.

However, Xiao Minghuang didn't take the wine glass, his eyes turned and fell on Lin Wanqiu's reddish face.

She stretched out her hand to gently stop Lin Wanqiu's slender waist, and said with a smile:

"My hands must not be idle, Wanqiu feed me a drink, okay?"

Lin Wanqiu blushed, bit her lips lightly, her eyes shyly shone, but under Xiao Minghuang's expectant gaze, she still handed over the wine glass.

Xiao Minghuang pursed her lips and smiled, bowed her head, drank it all in one gulp, and looked at Lin Wanqiu with a smile.

"It's so cute!"

She reached out and touched Lin Wanqiu's head, and resumed her upright posture.

Since clarifying her own intentions, Xiao Minghuang no longer deliberately kept a distance from Lin Wanqiu, but followed her heart's desire without restraint.

Because she knew that Lin Wanqiu also liked her.

ps: and the book "Shattered orange gals, make them all shy" by the boss py

Miss Bai Xianyue, a passerby character of a certain orange gal.

Travelers, without any ability to protect themselves, shattered the background.

Helpless and desperate, she accidentally awakened the shy system.

The demon princess who devours everything, the blood princess from ancient times who thirsts for blood, the frantic elf who represents the storm, the animal-shaped dog girl full of animal nature...

As long as it can make them feel shy, they can get a lot of system points and strengthen themselves without cost or profit.

But the fact...

This system encourages hosts to gain a lot of points by walking among them wisely and decisively.

Bai Xianyue: It's embarrassing to deliberately make a girl shy...

(Shy point plus 1)

system:? ? ?Bai Xianyue:? ? ?

95. Princess Ziwei, unique!

While drinking fruit wine, the two enjoyed the breeze while admiring the night view, relaxing and enjoying a rare good time.

It was about this time.

There was a sound of light footsteps.

Xiao Minghuang raised his eyes and saw Ye Ruoshui in a light yellow dress, slowly stepping into the pavilion.

Xiao Minghuang put down the wine glass in his hand, nodded to Ye Ruoshui, greeted with a smile:

"Ruoshui, you're back!"

Ye Ruoshui saluted generously.

"Your Highness!"

Xiao Minghuang pointed to the seat on his right.

"sit down!"

Ye Ruoshui sat down in response.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Ye Ruoshui then told about his desire to buy spiritual materials.

"I have found a way to refine the alchemy furnace, and the Seventh Elder promised to contribute money, on the condition that he can help him improve the grade of the furnace."

"The alchemy furnace that I plan to refine this time is the top grade of the Huang rank, and there are probably so many spiritual materials needed..."

While talking, Ye Ruoshui took out a [*>

The paper was still warm, and there was a faint scent of milk. She saw that there were lines of beautiful characters written on it, clearly writing the required spiritual materials.

Xiao Minghuang grew up in the deep palace and was not familiar with the prices on the market, so he handed the note to Lin Wanqiu.

"Late autumn, let's see how many spirit stones are needed for these materials."

Lin Wanqiu took the note, glanced at it briefly, thought for a moment, looked up at Ye Ruoshui, and said:

"It costs about 20 spirit stones to refine the new alchemy furnace, and only [-] spirit stones are enough to upgrade the old alchemy furnace."

Hearing this number, Ye Ruoshui gasped, and Xiao Minghuang also showed shock.

"20 million!"

"Together it is 30!"

This huge number has already exceeded Xiao Minghuang's entire net worth. Even if she wanted to take out this money for Ye Ruoshui, if she didn't sell all the pills in her hand, it might be difficult to get it together.

Therefore, the Seventh Elder was willing to pay, which really helped a lot.

Ye Ruoshui also had a look of rejoicing, luckily the Seventh Elder was willing to pay, otherwise she would really feel sorry for asking His Highness to pay.

At this moment, the three of them obviously thought of one thing.

They looked at each other and smiled, with a bit of cunning in their eyes.

Lin Wanqiu smiled and said:

"I have kept the spiritual material that His Highness gave me, but I have never used it. This time, I will take it out and sell it to the Seventh Elder."

Hearing this, Xiao Minghuang frowned slightly. The spiritual material Lin Wanqiu spoke of was actually a gift from Lin Zhengquan before leaving Beiyang City.

These things were said to be gifts for her, but they should actually be a dowry for Lin Wanqiu.

After all, after Lin Wanqiu followed her, it was impossible for her to marry again.

Thinking of this, Xiao Minghuang felt a little funny again.

When Lin Zhengquan tried his best to sell her daughter to her, she didn't realize it at all, and kept saying that the relationship between her and Lin Wanqiu was not defined by a marriage contract.

However, this is actually true. The relationship between her and Lin Wanqiu is indeed not defined by a marriage contract.

After a while, Xiao Minghuang regained consciousness and said in a deep voice:

"Don't use the spiritual gold and spiritual materials in late autumn. I still have some materials here. Let's sell them to the Seventh Elder. If there are not enough materials, I will buy them from Beiyang City."

Regarding this, the two daughters Ye and Lin naturally had no objection, and they both nodded.

...

In the days that followed, Xiao Minghuang was very leisurely, practicing at home every day, occasionally wandering the streets, and sometimes going to the shrine to observe Ye Ruoshui's refining equipment.

During this period of time, she also found a few white opportunities, although she got them, they did not benefit her practice much.

In her spare time, she even personally instructs the children in their practice.

In the past few days, every time she went to visit the children, she would give some spiritual stone pills. Although there were not many, the children were very grateful.

She has the fate of [immortal appearance], even if she doesn't do anything deliberately, she can still attract the favor of others, not to mention that the children of Yangcheng in Beiyang respect her very much.

In just a few days of getting along with her, he regarded her as a god and was absolutely loyal.

It is worth mentioning that Li Yuner sent back news from Beiyang City.

The Li family has decided not to collude with the two families of Liu and Wang. They plan to hand over the stolen goods obtained from oppressing the people over the years, and hand over [-]% of the spiritual veins and fields in their hands to the city lord's mansion, and all proceeds will be sent directly to the emperor. The city was handed over to Xiao Minghuang himself.

Xiao Minghuang and Lin Wanqiu were delighted to hear the news.

Especially Lin Wanqiu, she is a native of Beiyang City, the Li family and the Lin family have been friends for generations, and they are quite close. She certainly does not want to see the Li family collapse.

Xiao Minghuang knew that Li Yun'er should have played a significant role in the decision to join the Li family, so she spread the news that when Li Yun'er returned to the imperial city, she would be given a Condensing Spirit Pill.

But this matter was kept secret, only Xiao Minghuang, Lin Wanqiu and Li Yun'er knew about the whole process, and no one else, including Ye Ruoshui, knew about it.

It's not that Xiao Minghuang doesn't trust Ye Ruoshui.

It's that Ye Ruoshui has been focusing on refining the alchemy furnace during this time, so it's useless to tell her these things.

Moreover, Xiao Minghuang knew that Ye Ruoshui had a heart of a child, so she didn't want to tell the little girl about these things, so that she would be troubled for nothing.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed.

There is only one month left before the royal competition.

All the princes who have experienced abroad have returned to Beijing one after another.

Those who were originally in the capital also became active.

The capital, which was originally like a pool of stagnant water, suddenly became active.

At the same time, the news that Xiao Minghuang was canonized as Princess Ziwei was quickly spread.

Reactions were mixed.

"Princess Ziwei? Ninth Princess? Why did she get this title? Is there another villain going forward to slander His Majesty?"

This is the public voice of the forces close to the second prince. They are backed by King Wu'an and have deep roots. If Emperor Xia hadn't been promoted to the Spirit Seed Realm at this time, they might not be so subtle, but directly criticized Emperor Xia for being fatuous and senseless. Unknown.

"His Royal Highness, the princess, has unparalleled aptitude. She was born with the spiritual roots of the five elements. She is a genius that has never been seen in a thousand years. She is the only one in the southern region. It is a matter of course to get this title!"

This is the voice of the forces close to Princess Ziwei. In fact, most of these people come from Lin Wanqiu's management during this period. After she came to bring the imperial city, she has not been idle for a moment. Xiao Minghuang built up momentum, or contacted various forces.

The sound can be formed smoothly, thanks to the secret help of Emperor Xia.

But even so, the voice supporting Princess Ziwei is still weak, far inferior to the powerful second prince-Wu'an Wang Group

"I heard that the second prince has obtained an earth-level elixir and has been promoted to the third level of Yongquan. This time, there is no need to compete in this big competition. The winner has already been divided."

96. Quantitative change returns, qualitative change return

"That's not necessarily the case. The Sixth Prince worshiped under the Spirit Sword Sect. Now he is an inner disciple. He is favored by many elders. He will be promoted to a true disciple in a short time. His background is not comparable to that of the Second Prince."

"Haven't you forgotten that Princess Ziwei should be the most popular now? Her Majesty bestowing the title of Ziwei on her is an expression of her attitude. I'm afraid she has already been designated as the crown prince by default!"

"Hmph! So what about the internal decision? Even His Majesty cannot break the rules of the contest, and the final winner will be the heir apparent!"

In the imperial city, rumors arose everywhere, and the disputes among the heirs of the emperor were rampant.

Supporters from all sides, in the wine shop and teahouse, insisted on their own opinions, harassed one after another, and fought for a moment of enthusiasm.

When the anger surged, he even spoke unscrupulously, touching the heavenly family.

"Hmph! Your Majesty is really foolish. If you are so optimistic about such a young girl, in my opinion, what's the point of making the Second Prince the crown prince?"

"Nonsense! I think you are a spy sent by the Golden Elephant Kingdom. How dare you make false remarks about Your Majesty and Princess Ziwei. Just stand here and don't move. The Tingwei Mansion will come and arrest you soon!"

When the man heard the word Tingwei's Mansion, the unruly expression on his face immediately disappeared, and he fled away without a trace.

Just when there were divergent opinions and rumors from the outside world, the princess mansion was peaceful and peaceful.

Xiao Minghuang sat upright in the room, with ten vortices circling continuously around her body, her whole body's aura was gushing like a spring, the aura of heaven and earth was condensed but not scattered, gathered within a foot, and the thick white mist kept rising, almost condensing Turn into liquid!

The aura is overflowing, condensing the mist into a liquid, and manifesting externally, this is a sign that it is about to enter the fountain state!

But in the next moment.

Xiao Minghuang suddenly opened his eyes, and the ten cyclones all over his body instantly disappeared, and the dense white mist dissipated.

Her eyes are clear, golden light is shining, shining brightly, as if stars are twinkling in her eyes.

She exhaled slowly.

"A little bit more..."

A trace of regret appeared on Xiao Minghuang's face.

Although it is only one step away, this step has crossed a gap.

With her extraordinary talent, it is already so difficult to refine Qi and break through the Yongquan. One can imagine how difficult it must be for those warriors with less talent to improve their realm!
