From Princess of the Cold Palace to Empress of Heaven

800 years have passed, and the various forces in the southern border still do not regard Daxia as their own, and are always trying to eliminate Daxia.

Once Xia Hanbing, the "holy dragon sword" that suppresses Daxia's luck, passes away, all the sects of the nations will inevitably attack it. Even if Daxia has a large imperial palace guarding it, there will be no monks in the spiritual realm presiding over it, and it will not be able to exert its full power. It will be useless at all .

Not long after, Xiao Minghuang came to the palace, but met an unexpected person at the city gate.

This person was dressed in brocade clothes, he looked to be in his thirties, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, he was extraordinary, and the aura emanating faintly was far above Xiao Minghuang.

"Second brother, my younger sister is being polite."

The corners of Xiao Minghuang's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a standard smile, without missing teeth.

The moment he saw her, the second prince's pupils shrank suddenly, as if he was extremely surprised. In an instant, this surprise turned into killing intent, which was fleeting. Although he concealed it very well, he was caught by Xiao Minghuang.

Xiao Minghuang clenched his palms, suddenly feeling a sense of crisis.

The second prince cupped his hands, and made a gesture of a brother who cared about his younger sister, and said in a warm voice: "I heard that Jiumei was accidentally injured by someone before, and her cultivation base was completely abolished. Now it seems that the rumors are not true. Seeing Jiumei is fine. Don't worry about it brother."

As the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling face with your hand. Since the Second Prince likes to act, Xiao Minghuang will accompany him in this one.

"I'm sorry to trouble the second brother, my little sister is fine." Xiao Minghuang said with a light smile, "My father summoned me, my little sister can't stay here, see you another day!"

The second prince regretted: "Since this is the case, I won't keep the imperial sister for my brother. I must invite the imperial sister to be a guest at my brother's house in another day. I hope the imperial sister will not refuse."

"sure."

After a few perfunctory words, Xiao Minghuang turned and left.

After walking away, Xiao Minghuang secretly said: "What a smiling tiger, this person is a hundred times harder to deal with than the Seventh Prince!"

13. Entering the palace to face the saint, and discussing the establishment of a crown prince

Emperor Xia had nine children in total, and the nine princesses, Xiao Minghuang, was the youngest.

The eldest prince was born of a mortal, and was born with a disabled body. He has no possibility of cultivation in this life, so he was sent to a place by Emperor Xia early on, and he ignored him.

After so many years, I don't know if I have died of old age.

The second prince is not.

His mother was the daughter of King Wu'an.

King Wu'an, who cultivated at the eighth level of the Divine Sea Realm.

Throughout the Great Xia, apart from the royal family offerings, King Wu'an had the highest level of cultivation and respected status.

Therefore, the second prince's status is very high, and all the ministers in the court cling to him, and he has the appearance of a leader in the faint, and he also acts as a prince in his daily activities.

The rest of the princes, except for the sixth prince, are all clinging to the second prince and bowing their heads to be petty.

Even without mentioning the forces behind the second prince, Xiao Minghuang was not able to contend with his peak Qi Refining Realm cultivation alone.

"The future is long. Now that I have the protection of Emperor Xia and my ancestors, even the second prince would not dare to do anything to me."

But Xiao Minghuang knew that this kind of shelter was not forever, a flower grown from a greenhouse could not lead Da Xia to survive in the chaotic southern border.

Those high-level people behind the second prince may be afraid of the power of the ancestors and dare not make a move openly, but there will never be less cold shots in private!

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Minghuang collected himself and continued to walk towards the main hall of the palace.

Standing still at the gate of the palace, a high-pitched voice came from the palace, it was the great eunuch Wang Jin who came to Lenggong to pass the decree that day.

"The Ninth Princess Xiao Minghuang has an audience!"

Xiao Minghuang entered the hall, and saw a middle-aged man sitting on the steps, dressed in a dragon robe, dignified and dignified, it was Emperor Xia.

Beside him, the bowed, gray-haired, beardless old man was the great eunuch Wang Jin.

Other than that, there was no one else in the hall.

A pair of scrutinizing eyes fell on her.

Sensing the spiritual energy fluctuations faintly emanating from Xiao Minghuang, a hint of surprise appeared in Xiahuang Gujing's waveless pupils.

"In just two days, she actually stepped into the Qi Refining Realm!"

Wang Jin was also surprised. Two days ago, he observed the battle between Xiao Minghuang and the Seventh Prince in the dark.

At that time, the Ninth Princess was only in the Ninth Level Body Training Realm, but in just two days, she broke through to the Qi Refining Realm!

"The medicinal power of Shengyuan Pill doesn't seem to be enough to break through a big realm, right?"

Emperor Xia was puzzled, but he didn't ask any questions.

in the temple.

Xiao Minghuang took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "My son Xiao Minghuang pays respects to Father Emperor!"

Emperor Xia said lightly: "These vain rituals will be avoided. I invited you here to tell you something."

"After half a year, there will be a grand competition in the palace, and the final winner will be established as the crown prince."

Hearing this, Xiao Minghuang's pupils shrank slightly, and Xia Huang ordered her to enter the palace just to inform her of this.

What signal does this send?

Interested in making her a reserve?

Seeing her expression, Emperor Xia nodded and said: "You are right, I do intend to appoint you as the crown prince."

"But you're not the only one."

There was a hint of astonishment on Xiao Minghuang's beautiful face.

"Great Xia moved to the southern border for 800 years, but the sects of the countries in the southern border have never regarded Da Xia as the same kind."

"The reason why they dare not openly attack Daxia is because there are ancestors in the spiritual-seed realm in the royal family. Once the ancestors in the spiritual-seed realm pass away, the sects of all countries will definitely not be scruples anymore. Therefore, your time is running out .”

"After half a year, whoever wins the final victory will be the next Emperor Xia!"

After saying this, Emperor Xia waved his sleeves, and Xiao Minghuang was blown out of the hall.

After standing still again, Xiao Minghuang frowned slightly, thinking about what Emperor Xia said just now.

Although Emperor Xia didn't say it clearly, there was an invisible sense of crisis in his words, as if something bad was about to happen.

"The only thing that can scare Emperor Xia is that Great Xia's country is threatened, and there are ancestors in the Spirit Seed Realm, so why should Emperor Xia be worried?"

But in the next moment.

Xiao Minghuang thought of the old man she saw in the scripture hall two days ago.

Her pupils shrank slightly, and combined with what Emperor Xia said just now, a terrifying thought suddenly came to her mind.

"Old Ancestor, your lifespan will be exhausted!"

If it weren't for this, the old ancestor would not have suddenly appeared and taught her the earth-level exercises that had been hidden for many years, and Emperor Xia would not have selected the most outstanding successor in such a cruel way.

With some heavy thoughts in her heart, Xiao Minghuang returned home.

At noon today, there was an embarrassing misunderstanding between Xiao Minghuang and Ye Ruoshui. They should have calmed down for a few more days, and when both of them had forgotten about it, they started a new life as if nothing had happened. .

but.

"We must improve our strength as soon as possible, the second prince will not be merciful to me!"

Xiao Minghuang clenched his palms and walked towards Ye Ruoshui's room.

When she came to the door, she knocked on the door, but there was no movement.

Xiao Minghuang unfolded his spiritual sense, but did not find Ye Ruoshui's aura in the room.

She spread her spiritual consciousness to cover the house, and found traces of Ye Ruoshui in the practice room.

Xiao Minghuang came outside the practice room, quietly opened a crack in the door, and saw Ye Ruoshui's small figure sitting cross-legged in the center of the room, her small face full of determination.

"The little girl has really grown up and knows how to practice hard."

Xiao Minghuang sighed, did not leave, stood at the door and waited, and practiced the exercises by the way.

After about half an hour, rustling sounds came from the practice room, and Ye Ruoshui walked out of the room.

Ye Ruoshui pushed open the door, and saw her highness standing in the courtyard, standing tall and graceful, with his eyes slightly closed, exuding a mysterious and mysterious atmosphere all over his body.

But this feeling only lasted for a moment and then disappeared.

Xiao Minghuang opened his eyes and said with a smile, "Ruoshui, have you encountered any problems in practice?"

Like a child who was caught stealing candy, Ye Ruoshui stammered with shyness on his face, "Your Highness, this servant also wants to improve her cultivation, so I can help His Highness. The servant did not activate the formation in the practice room, so I won't waste it." His Highness's Lingshi!"

Hearing this, Xiao Minghuang said helplessly: "You won't be useless even for the spirit stone I gave you, right?"

Ye Ruoshui nodded, and said obediently: "I'll keep it for Your Highness, just ask me to get it when His Highness needs it."

Xiao Minghuang stepped forward, touched Ye Ruoshui's soft hair, and sighed softly:

"Silly boy, those spirit stones are given to you for your use, and you can use them in the practice room as you like."

"I once said that you are like my sister. Isn't it natural for a sister to use her sister's things?"

Hearing this, Ye Ruoshui raised her head with tears in her eyes, threw herself into Xiao Minghuang's arms, and burst into tears.

"Your Highness...Your Highness, you are so kind to me!"

Xiao Minghuang embraced Ye Ruoshui's soft junior, stroked it lightly, and said softly, "I treat you well because I like you!"

"Good boy! Sister, I have a precious pill for you, so don't refuse it!"

Maybe it was because the sentence "I like you" was too lethal, Ye Ruoshui immediately swore to the sky as if he had been beaten to death.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely not disappoint Your Highness's expectations!"

Seeing the little girl's swearing, Xiao Minghuang couldn't help but smiled gratifiedly.

As long as Ye Ruoshui is willing to practice hard, even if her talent is extremely poor, she can rely on pills and spirit stones to pile them into a peerless powerhouse!

【Ding! 】

[Detected that the host gave the opportunity successfully! 】

[Congratulations to the host, triggering a hundred times critical strike compensation, and getting the Shengyuan Pill*100! 】

Xiao Minghuang entered the practice room, and a systematic voice sounded in his mind.

Hundred times crit!

Surprise flashed in her eyes.

It seems that her luck has been really good recently, and the compensation has not been lower than a hundred times in several times.

The joy on her face hadn't receded yet, but the system's voice sounded again.

【Ding! 】

[It has been detected that the number of gifts given by the host meets the conditions, and the function of the chance compass is being activated! 】

"What does it mean?"

Xiao Minghuang asked.

[Within a hundred miles of the host, if there is a chance, the system compass will give prompts and guidance. 】

[As the number of chances given by the host increases, the range of reminders will increase accordingly. 】

After listening to the system's explanation, a hint of surprise appeared on Xiao Minghuang's beautiful face.

This feature is really amazing!

The reason why chance is called chance is because it is rare and difficult to come across.

Ordinary monks can encounter a chance once in a lifetime, and they can benefit from it for half their lives.

Even some people who are born with great luck do not always encounter opportunities.

The system can actually put the opportunity directly in front of her. Although it is only effective within a hundred miles, it is actually very powerful.

Not to mention that this range can continue to expand!

"With a radius of a hundred miles, it can almost cover the entire capital of Great Xia."

Xiao Minghuang's thoughts moved slightly, and he immediately asked:

"System, let me check if there are any opportunities around here?"
