The extraordinary daily life of people with super powers

"Your Highness, would it be bad if we sneak out secretly?"

A maid with a chubby face said.

"Qiao'er, I've told you many times that when you go out, call me Miss." The person who spoke was the eldest daughter of the current emperor—Xia Mingyang.

The word "Yang" is a very bad word, as it means disaster. Most people would not name their daughters with this word.

Even if you want to take it, it will be "Weiyang", which means no disaster will come.

The royal family is the most superstitious family and they could not have been unaware of this, but the eldest princess's name is "Ming Yang".

"Okay, Miss." Qiao'er nodded obediently.

Xia Mingyang stretched out his hand and rubbed her chubby face a few times, making her grimace.

Qiao'er didn't dare to resist and could only let her rub her.

"How could I have such a stupid maid like you? If you say something wrong again next time, I will send you back to the palace."

"Woo..."

After ravaging this stupid maid who grew up with her, Xia Mingyang's originally happy mood calmed down again.

Qiao'er grew up with her. In name, they are master and servant, but emotionally they are almost like mother and daughter. Yes, Xia Mingyang is the mother and Qiao'er is the silly daughter.

Although Qiao Er was a little confused, she knew that her young lady was in a bad mood again, so she asked, "Young lady, are you unhappy because of the marriage?"

"Qiao'er, do you think marriage is a good thing or a bad thing?" Xia Mingyang did not answer her, but asked a question instead.

"It's probably a good thing. People in the palace say that after the marriage, there will be no more wars and the people will live and work in peace."

"The people's peaceful life has nothing to do with the marriage." Xia Mingyang shook his head, "It is impossible not to fight."

The Jin people had evil ambitions, and the marriage was just a cover to relax their minds and make it easier for them to launch surprise attacks later.

Even she, a princess, can see clearly this kind of thing. Don’t the ministers in the court understand it either?

I don't think so. They are just deceiving themselves and hoping to buy a few years of peace and enjoyment by marrying a princess.

Of course, it is not ruled out that they are really stupid!

Xia Mingyang didn't think much of his father, the emperor, and most of the ministers in the court. They only cared about drinking and having fun, and then looking for beautiful women to accompany them.

After living in the palace for 10 to 20 years, she felt deeply the inequality in this world.

Sometimes, the more she read, the more desperate she became.

She understood that the root of all this was that she had no power of her own.

But she was just a princess, and the one her father hated the most, so she even had to study in secret.

"If I were a man, the result might be very different." Xia Mingyang thought.

"Miss, don't think about those sad things. Qiaoer heard that Nanshi is recruiting talented people today. Do you want to go and have a look?" Qiaoer wanted to cheer her up.

"Let's go."

Xia Mingyang temporarily put aside these worries and the two of them walked along the lake.

As I was walking, I saw a strange figure sitting by the lake.

"A Taoist priest with short hair? Are there such Taoist priests in the Immortal Sect?"

"Fishing with a straight hook, can this catch fish?"

Looking at the figure, Xia Mingyang thought for a moment and walked up.

Chapter 5: Dao Ye Talks About Science (k)

"I didn't expect there would be such a pleasant surprise." Tang Ansheng, who was sitting by the lake and fishing, listened silently to the conversation between two people not far away.

Nanshi is recruiting talented people, and the busiest time is at noon. It is not time yet, so Tang Ansheng came to the small lake here to fish.

He used a straight hook to fish without any bait, and the hook was not placed in the water but floated on the water surface.

It stands to reason that it is impossible to catch fish in this way, but Tang Ansheng's goal is not just to be a fisherman, but to exercise his strength.

The fish hook sways in the wind, looking like a small insect, attracting fish to bite the hook.

But this is a straight hook and it cannot catch fish. If you want to catch one, you can only rely on your own control of strength.

When you are able to catch fish with a straight hook, you have achieved the state of transforming strength.

"Not even a feather can be added, and not even a fly or insect can land."

Although this sentence sounds simple, if you think deeply about it, you will understand the terrifying state it contains.

"I think that in this world, above the first rank, the legendary Grandmaster, whose absolute strength far exceeds that of Hua Jin, may not be able to reach this realm without internal strength."

Not to mention a grandmaster above the first rank, Tang Ansheng had never seen even a grandmaster of the third rank.

But he had seen masters of the middle third rank, and could make a rough guess based on their strength.

"Logically speaking, the higher the realm, the higher the strength. However, Hua Jin's realm is so high, but his strength seems to be average. This doesn't make sense."

"Is it because the energy contained in the world is different?"

Tang Ansheng thought back to when he came to this world. Although his movement speed didn't change much, the force he could punch out of thin air was 50% higher than when he was on Xuanxing.

"I have now mastered the hidden power of Chinese martial arts, and my internal strength has reached the middle third level. I also have the superpower of [Turning Stone into Bread]."

"As long as we don't encounter the legendary Grandmaster above the first rank, it should be fine to walk sideways."

The most recent grandmaster to us was Shao Yong who lived several decades ago. After he created the "Huangji Jingshishu", he died of exhaustion.

Up to this point, no grandmaster appeared in either the martial arts world or the imperial court.

"In that case, some plans can be implemented in advance." Tang Ansheng silently looked at the two people not far away.

Although they had tried their best to lower the volume of their voices, in front of a great master like Tang Ansheng, at such a distance, it was no different from speaking in his ear.

"Your Highness, could it be one of the Emperor's daughters?"

Tang Ansheng thought: "It seems that his status should be not low."

Not all daughters of the emperor can be called Her Royal Highness.

The status of women in the Great Xia Dynasty was very low. If the emperor favored a palace maid for one night and the child born was a son, it would be fine as the mother would be honored by the son.

If she is a daughter, then her status will be higher than that of eunuchs and palace maids.

Because this emperor was very romantic and had dozens of sons and daughters. As for those who were lower in rank, he didn't even know their names or their appearances, and he might have never seen them even once.

The princes and princesses who rank high must have very powerful maternal families, otherwise they would not be able to get to the front.

That’s right, for the princes and princesses of the Great Xia Dynasty, this is not an era of “competing with dads”, but an era of “competing with mothers”.

"This emperor ignored state affairs and spent his days drinking and having fun, with beautiful women as his companions."

"Ministers from all walks of life presented rare treasures or special performances in various ways, just to make the emperor smile."

"The power of the government is basically controlled by the prime minister and the imperial teacher."

This is what Tang Ansheng investigated in the past few days.

It is a great thing for powerful officials when the emperor ignores state affairs, but it is a disaster for the people under him.

Many thoughts emerged in Tang Ansheng's mind, but he remained unmoved and continued to concentrate on fishing.

"Master Taoist, how do you fish with a straight hook?" Xia Mingyang walked up and asked curiously.

She had lived in the palace for a long time and knew little about things outside. Most of her knowledge and insights came from books.

If it weren't for the marriage, she might have stayed in the palace, thinking that if she didn't come out again, she would never have the chance to see the scenery of the capital again.

Xia Mingyang was a troublemaker when she was a child. The eunuchs, maids and concubines in the palace were often teased by her.

When the emperor was still a prince, he liked a woman very much, but the other party was of low status and was not worthy of him.

Xia Mingyang's maternal family was very powerful at that time. In order to seize the throne, the emperor finally chose to marry Xia Mingyang's mother and abandoned the woman he had always liked.

Relying on the power of Xia Mingyang's mother's family, the emperor who was still the prince successfully ascended the throne, but because of his previous promises and his own unstable foundation.

The emperor was forced to make Xia Mingyang's mother the queen.

At that time, Xia Mingyang was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

However, when she was six years old, her mother died of illness and her status in the palace plummeted.

At that time, the still young Xia Mingyang didn't understand what was going on. He only knew that the people around him no longer allowed him to be bullied as before, but instead started to bully him, so he gradually restrained his temper.

Later she gradually understood.

My father has always disliked my mother and thought that she was the one who took away his beloved woman, but he had no choice but to swallow his anger.

Therefore, he hates the whole family and also dislikes himself.

But after becoming emperor, he had to consider this and that and had no choice but to compromise.

After Xia Mingyang's mother died unexpectedly, the emperor was not sad, but began to work to weaken her power.

Come to think of it, he is the emperor after all. He suffered losses when he was a prince before, and now he is still suffering losses as the emperor. Then, isn’t his reign as emperor in vain?

Due to various factors, Xia Mingyang's maternal family's influence almost disappeared, and she herself also restrained her temper.

Even though he has restrained himself, the devilish nature in his bones is still there.

Otherwise, according to the customs of the Great Xia Dynasty, it would be absolutely impossible for an ordinary woman to take the initiative to talk to a strange man.

"I don't see any bait here." Xia Mingyang asked.

When she got closer, she noticed that the Taoist priest was very young, perhaps only one or two years older than her.

And just looking at his profile, he was more handsome than any man she had ever seen before.

Qiao'er, who had never seen the world, was stunned.

She raised her hand and poked Qiao'er's waist, waking him up from his trance.

Hearing her words, Tang Ansheng looked up and discovered that the princess had two hair buns on her head.

Generally speaking, this kind of hairstyle can easily give people a silly and stupid feeling, or the feeling of a girl next door.

But this princess had none of that, instead she had a heroic air.

She's just a girl...

"Of course you can fish with a straight hook," Tang Ansheng replied. "If you don't believe me, wait and see."

"Really? Then I'm interested." Xia Mingyang said, and without caring about anything else, he sat down next to Tang Ansheng.

For some reason, she always felt that this Taoist priest had an inexplicable aura that attracted her very much.

Qiao Er, who was standing by, was already getting anxious. She was thinking wildly in her mind, "Although the Taoist priest is very good-looking, what if he is a bad guy? No, no, such a good-looking person can't be a bad guy, right?"

After spending many years together and with Qiao'er's simple mind, Xia Mingyang knew what the girl was thinking at a glance and immediately waved his hand, telling her not to worry.

In fact, Xia Mingyang was not worried about her own safety. She sneaked out of the palace and it was impossible for her to hide it from the masters in the palace.

She was sure that among the people coming and going around her, there was at least one third-rank master who was secretly monitoring her.

Yes, not protection, but surveillance.

She was designated as the candidate for marriage, and neither the emperor nor the ministers would allow her to get into trouble at this critical juncture.

The reason why she was not imprisoned in the palace was probably because they were afraid that she would become depressed.

"Master, how long have you been sitting here?"

"About half an hour?" Tang Ansheng said casually.

"Hours?" Xia Mingyang was puzzled.

This should be a way of saying some kind of time, but she had never seen it in the book. Could it be the local dialect of the Taoist priest's hometown?

"A way to express time." Tang Ansheng looked at her, "Don't you think the current way of expressing time is very cumbersome?"

"This one……"

Xia Mingyang was stunned. She thought the Taoist priest would ask her who she was and what she was doing here, but she didn't expect him to ask such a question.

"I think it's okay...right?"
