I rushed back in a hurry, not to miss the competition, and also wanted to stay for two more days to get together with my mother. After years of hard training outside, Princess Qingling is also extremely eager to be reunited.
Another reason is that Princess Qingling is not absolutely sure. She has also thought that if she loses, she will have to marry Huayue far away. Then it will be difficult for them to get back together for the rest of their lives. So even though she acted confident, Princess Qingling also cherished the past few days very much.
The reason for showing confidence. First, he is confident in his experience in fighting in the ring. Since she was a child, Princess Qingling can be said to have grown up competing with others in the ring. That kind of non-life and death competition has become part of her practice, and she is confident that she will not lose to anyone in terms of experience.
The second is to be confident in your own hidden moves. There are special combat skills and methods that have been prepared before. I have also been studying with Professor Zhang in Langyuan City for the past two months, relying on the effects of medicinal baths to improve the toughness and endurance of my skin and flesh, and after the latest medicinal bath, I could barely touch the middle stage of the Kaiyuan Realm for men. The degree of skin and flesh. This is far beyond the toughness and endurance of a female practitioner's skin under normal circumstances.
A warrior with the dexterity and speed of a woman, as well as toughness and endurance, Princess Qingling felt that she had never been stronger.
And this power is still hidden beneath the surface. She even listened to Zhang Yan's suggestion and learned a frontal attack combat skill as a weapon for herself.
Of course, these are normal methods. Even though Princess Qingling has greatly changed from ordinary female warriors with the blessing of medicinal baths, it cannot change the nature of a warrior.
And unusual means are the last thing Princess Qingling hopes for in this competition. It was the odd-looking piece of paper she kept in her inner pocket.
"Burn it before going on stage, and drink the ashes with some spirits. It will help you."
That’s what Professor Zhang said at that time. Princess Qingling remembered it but couldn't help but think it was ridiculous. Based on her experience over the past ten years, she always felt that Professor Zhang was perfunctory or even teasing her. But the other party's serious expression didn't look like he was joking. Coupled with the magic and weirdness of the "Medicine for Refining Skin and Flesh", these strange words have an added layer of mystery that cannot be ignored.
Believe it or not?
Does Princess Qingling have another choice? She didn't.
Since there is no choice anyway, and swallowing a bowl of liquor with burnt paper ashes will not put Princess Qingling in any danger, what's the harm in believing this kind of thing once?
"Ling'er, you should go see your father today. When he came here a few days ago, he was still talking about you, saying that you were wronged."
"Mother, I understand. I will go to pay my respects to my father later."
"Don't blame him. He is the emperor, and Nanyuan Kingdom is also a lower country. When facing Huayue, he has no choice but to choose." Huarong Zhaoyi took the breakfast handed over by Princess Qingling, mother and daughter. While eating breakfast, we chatted about today’s itinerary.
"Yeah." nodded. Princess Qingling did not agree. In her mind, the father is not the same as "father", but more of a majestic symbol, a ruler, and even subconsciously one of the objects she needs to fight against. So she actually didn't want to see her father unless necessary.
After breakfast, the mother and daughter went to Beiguang Garden not far away and talked about Princess Qingling's experiences in Langyuan City over the years. Among them, Hua Rong Zhaoyi asked a lot about Mr. Zhang.
It was not until after noon that Huarong Zhaoyi asked Princess Qingling to carry a can of slow-cooked soup to Qinzheng Hall.
Different from when she came back yesterday, Princess Qingling had already changed out of her fancy clothes. She changed into palace clothes, and her long hair also changed into hair accessories. She looked young and beautiful, but also quite dignified and reserved like a royal princess.
In fact, Princess Qingling doesn't like the way she has to follow the rules even when she walks. There are rules for the distance of each step. This made her feel bad.
After noon, the morning affairs in Qinzheng Hall came to an end. Hua Rong Zhaoyi obviously made arrangements in advance. As soon as Princess Qingling passed by, there was a eunuch waiting for her. He led her into the main hall and then turned to the study at the back of the main hall. The emperor would rest here when he was free from administrative affairs. I often have lunch here too.
The eunuch led Princess Qingling in, then silently retreated out of the door, and closed the study door.
"My dear father, my dear father!" Princess Qingling politely greeted the middle-aged man who was sitting at the desk in the study writing in accordance with the royal gift.
This man is the emperor of Nanyuan Kingdom, Yang Sheng.
"Yes. Ling'er is back? Sit down and wait for a while. This note will be reviewed soon. Father will have a talk with you later."
"yes."
Waited for almost a cup of tea. Yang Sheng put down the pen in his hand with a smile, stood up from the desk, walked to the edge, looked at his daughter carefully, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen her for more than two years, she has grown a lot, she has become a big girl! "
"My son is unfilial. I haven't paid my respects to my father in the past two years. I still ask my father to punish me!" Princess Qingling said and bowed down.
"Punishment? Do you and I need to be so proud? Haha, you didn't come back because you could defeat Huayue's opponent in the big competition three days later. This is even the goal you have been working hard for for more than ten years. , what’s the crime?”
After a pause, Yang Sheng called the eunuch to serve the meal and asked Princess Qingling to eat with him. Chatting while eating.
The emperor's lunch may not be much better than what an ordinary wealthy family would eat. That is to say, it is more refined, but the ingredients are still the same. Three meats, three vegetables, one soup, plus one seasonal fruit. And the cup of old soup that Princess Qingling brought over.
"I heard that you have made some achievements in Langyuan City recently? Are you confident that you can defeat Huayue's opponents?"
"Yes, father! I have confidence!"
"That's good. In fact, your talent is pretty good. The talent of a martial artist is much better than mine. It's no worse than your opponent. And now she has entered the late stage of Kaiyuan Realm, while you are in the middle stage. The difference between them is It’s not your talent, but the foundation of our Nanyuan Kingdom. If Wu Chi is still there, your talent must be in the late Kaiyuan realm. It’s a pity.”
Princess Qingling, the "Wu Chi" Yang Sheng mentioned, also knows about it. That was a secret to the outside world, but not a secret to the royal family. In fact, the collapse of the "Wu Chi" in the previous dynasty's Qiande Shangguo caused a fault in the top-level power, gradually lost the power of the Shangguo, and finally fell apart. Princess Qingling does not want to comment on these secrets in history. Although she is not like her opponent who can rely on martial arts to jump to the realm faster. But she also has her own opportunities.
"You should stay with your mother and concubine these days. I will be there in person to cheer you on during the competition in three days!"
