From Princess of the Cold Palace to Empress of Heaven

Seeing this scene, the second prince was most surprised.

He originally thought that Princess Ziwei's strength was on par with him, even if she was slightly stronger than him, relying on his rich family background, it was not impossible to win the competition.

But the strength displayed by Princess Ziwei has exceeded his expectations.

If he didn't make a qualitative leap in his strength before the Grand Competition, he might have little hope of winning.

"It seems that even if I get the full support of my uncle, it will be difficult to win the competition..."

The second prince knew in his heart that his daughter's improvement in strength was limited, at most it would only increase by a small realm.

But the gap in strength between him and Princess Ziwei may not be evened by a small realm.

While thinking about it, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in the second prince's eyes.

"It seems that it's time to get in touch with the people on the other side..."

...

I don't know when, the starlight net has come to the top of the fifth prince and the sixth prince.

Seeing that the Starlight Net is about to take a picture.

But when the fifth and sixth princes were close at hand, they suddenly disappeared.

Feeling the sudden disappearance of the coercion from the top of their heads, the fifth prince and the sixth prince looked up in surprise.

I saw that bright yellow figure descending lightly and landed on the ring.

Under the starlight, Xiao Minghuang's skin was crystal clear, as if it was shining with a faint fluorescent light, and there was a slight smile on his delicate and flawless face.

Her every move seemed to affect Xingguang.

Seeing such a beautiful and noble girl, the Fifth Prince and the Sixth Prince immediately felt ashamed. They dared to attack such a celestial woman just now, they were too ignorant.

At the same time, they also understood that Xiao Minghuang had indeed let them go by withdrawing from the Starlight Net.

Otherwise, if the starlight is overturned, they will die on the spot!

Thinking of this, the two immediately bowed and said respectfully:

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for your mercy!"

"You two are welcome. Your strength is obvious to all. In this battle, I was just playing tricks. If it weren't for the bright stars tonight to bless my strength, otherwise it would be difficult for the two of you to join forces."

When he said this, Xiao Minghuang didn't lower his voice, and everyone present heard it all over the place.

"It turns out that the princess's exercises need to be played on a clear night to exert their maximum strength!"

"This matter is very important, and it concerns the future of my great summer. Please don't let it out to everyone present!"

"Don't worry, the princess is Daxia's future, we won't reveal a word about what happened tonight!"

Although everyone said so, but today's competition, I am afraid that it will spread in a few days, and in a few days, I am afraid that the entire southern border will know.

on the ring.

The fifth and sixth princes had complex expressions, not because they thought that Princess Ziwei was able to defeat them by playing tricks.

It's that such an important matter is actually said in public?

What if someone takes advantage of this in the future and does something secretly?

For example, that shameless old guy secretly robbed her into a dark cave, wouldn't it be impossible to show her full strength?

a time.

The two actually started to worry about Xiao Minghuang.

The fifth prince immediately said:

"Princess, this is not a place to talk, please move!"

Hearing this, the fifth prince also echoed:

"Yes, please move the princess, there are many people here, so you must be careful!"

Hearing this, Xiao Minghuang frowned slightly. How could she feel that these two people were a little strange.

Just now, Mingming had a look on his face, one was competing with her for the spirit wine, and the other was swearing to challenge her.

Why did he suddenly become honest after a fight?

And he acted like he cared about her.

However, Xiao Minghuang didn't care, she waved her hand and rolled the spirit wine into her sleeve.

"Okay, let's talk in the living room of the palace."

at the same time.

An attendant walked up to the stage and respectfully said:

"My lord has an order to invite the princess to the living room to discuss something important!"

Xiao Minghuang was planning to go to the living room.

"Exactly, let's go!"

The fifth prince and the sixth prince also came forward and wanted to follow, but they were stopped by the attendants.

The servant said respectfully:

"The prince only invited the princess, the two princes please go to the other hall to rest!"

"Ok?"

The Fifth Prince and the Sixth Prince were both taken aback for a moment, and went inside if they didn't understand.

The attendant ignored them, gestured to Xiao Minghuang, and said respectfully:

"Princess please!"

Xiao Minghuang was also a little confused, he didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in King Wu'an's gourd, so he glanced at the fifth and sixth princes, and said softly:

"You two wait for a while, if you have anything to say, wait for me to come back and say it!"

At the same time, she winked at Wang Jin who was standing aside, and said via voice transmission:

"Wang Gonggong help me keep an eye on the sixth prince, the bet he lost to me has not been cashed yet!"

Hearing this, Wang Jin immediately replied:

"Your Highness, don't worry, there is an old slave here, even if he has wings, he won't even try to escape!"

After getting the answer, Xiao Minghuang felt relieved, followed the attendants, and headed towards the living room of the palace.

Xiao Minghuang glanced back, and saw that the fifth and sixth princes hadn't followed.

She looked at the attendant and asked:

"What is your lord looking for from me?"

The attendant did not stop, and said respectfully:

"Princess, servants don't know."

Hearing this, Xiao Minghuang's mind moved slightly. She knew that King Wu An was on the side of the second prince, but even so, it was impossible to assassinate her in public.

If any accident happened to her in Prince Wu'an's mansion tonight, I'm afraid that the ancestors and Emperor Xia would take action in person the next day to wipe out Prince Wu'an's entire family!

Therefore, Xiao Minghuang walked slowly, without any nervousness.

Inside the living room.

King Wu'an sat on the steps, dressed in casual clothes, with a peaceful breath, he didn't look very majestic, more like a hale and hearty old man.

Seeing Xiao Minghuang walk into the hall, King Wu An got up, cupped his hands and said:

"The princess's talent is unparalleled. She defeated the fifth and sixth princes in the first battle. This kind of strength is unique in the entire southern region. This royal competition is bound to be a victory!"

Hearing this, Xiao Minghuang remained calm, wondering in his heart, isn't King Wu An a fan of the second prince?Why are you crazy about flattering as soon as you come up?

Xiao Minghuang cupped his hands and said with a light smile:

"My lord, you're being polite. The two imperial brothers are rare geniuses. It's a fluke for me to win!"

The two exchanged a few polite words, and after taking their seats, they began to get down to business.

"The old man promised earlier that besides the glass of spirit wine, the winner of tonight's competition will have a special surprise. I wonder if the princess still remembers it?"

Xiao Minghuang nodded.

"I don't know what this surprise is?"

The voice fell.

King Wu An clapped his palms lightly and said loudly:

"Xiu'er, come out and meet Her Royal Highness!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of crisp footsteps, and a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old came out. She was wearing a light green dress, her face was as delicate as a porcelain doll, and her eyes were shining brightly. .

There was a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth, and she looked very cute.

The girl walked slowly in front of Xiao Minghuang, bent slightly, and said respectfully:

"Little girl Xu Xiu'er, I have met Her Royal Highness!"

Xiao Minghuang nodded slightly, she recognized the girl, just now in the martial arts arena, she met once, and had a few conversations with her.

"The girl is the granddaughter of the prince? She is so beautiful!"

A blush appeared on Xu Xiuer's cheeks, she lowered her head slightly and said:

"Thank you princess for your praise. Xiu'er is ashamed. Compared with the princess, Xiu'er's thin willows are like the light of a firefly candle compared to the bright moon and stars. It really doesn't stand out!"

Xiao Minghuang smiled slightly, and said softly:

"Miss Xiu'er is too modest."

At this moment, King Wu An waved his hand and said:

"Xiu'er, offer tea to the princess."

"Yes."

The maid came with a tray, Xu Xiu'er took the teacup and held it in front of Xiao Minghuang.

Looking at Xu Xiu'er, who had a pretty blushing face and a shy face, Xiao Minghuang frowned slightly, feeling a trace of inexplicable complexity in her heart.

She always felt that King Wu'an would make an embarrassing request next.

Xiao Minghuang took the tea, took a sip, put it aside, then looked at King Wu An, and said:

"Miss Xiu'er has also met. If the prince has anything to say, just say it. It's getting late, and Wanqiu is still waiting for me at home."

Hearing Xiao Minghuang mentioning Miss Lin, King Wu An's eyes flashed a little, but his face remained calm, and he said:

"I heard that the wise kings in ancient times needed the help of many virtuous officials, and could not favor only one person. Since the princess wants to ascend to the throne and govern the billions of people in the Great Xia, she must broaden her horizons. If she refuses to accept Newcomers, I’m afraid they will disappoint the public!”

Hearing this, Xiao Minghuang had sensed that there was something in his words, and said with a light smile:

"As a human being, I have always been one-sided. If the prince has something to say, you might as well just say it straight, so don't keep it to yourself!"

A look of astonishment appeared on King Wu'an's face. He didn't expect that Her Highness the Princess would be so straightforward and showed no mercy to him. Then he laughed and said:

"As expected of a princess, she is really straightforward, and the old man will cut to the chase."

"The princess knows that the second prince is the grandson of the old man, so in the eyes of outsiders, the old man has always supported the second prince. Even the princess regards the old man as an opponent to seize the throne."

Xiao Minghuang didn't speak, but his expression clearly spoke.

Is it not?

King Wu An gave a wry smile:

"But the current situation is already very clear. The second prince's strength is no match for the princess. Therefore, the old man has no choice but to follow the wind and choose to support the princess."

Xiao Minghuang frowned slightly, she didn't expect that King Wu An would say that, but she didn't say anything, just quietly waiting for King Wu An to continue.

King Wu'an went on to say:

"Although the old man is dull, he has been cultivating the court and various places for many years. Nearly [-]% of the court officials are from the old man's sect, and nearly [-]% of the high-ranking officials from all over the country are from the old man's sect. If the princess is willing to accept the old man's defection, then these people will have nothing Unconditionally stand on the side of the princess!"

"After the princess comes to power, no matter what you want to do, I will fully support you, without any compromise!"
