"Tomorrow is the day when the martial arts competition begins, and I have signed up for you."
Prince Qi said: "This is your nameplate number. With this nameplate, you can participate in the competition tomorrow."
Lin Beichen took it and took a look. It was an oval gold medal with a hammer and flame inscription. It can be injected with true energy to activate the "Three Dragons Bright Moon Formation" inside. It can be regarded as a star-level alchemy tool.
The Gengjin Dynasty is really wealthy.
"It feels very hasty. Don't you need to hold an opening ceremony or something?"
Lin Beichen asked.
"Your Majesty is injured and bedridden. The government is in chaos and the political situation is unstable. Everything should be kept simple."
Prince Qi said: "When the real Prince Consort is chosen, there will be corresponding ceremonies... In fact, all the major forces value the position of Prince Consort. How many people are really here to pursue Her Highness the Princess?"
"Is the position of Prince Consort very powerful?"
Lin Beichen asked again.
"Not really."
Prince Qi glanced at Lin Beichen and said: "The truly most powerful nobles of the Gengjin Dynasty are all of the Ling family's own blood. It is difficult for outsiders to take power, and in-laws are just secondary circles. The real reason is
Princess Huanzhu once knocked on the door of the Alchemy Dao Ancestral Temple, and was considered one of the candidates with the hope of entering the Ancestral Temple. Moreover, there was also news secretly circulating that Princess Huanzhu possessed the 'Bao Yuan Alchemy Fetus'
"Physique', if you cultivate it together with him, you can gain the power of ten thousand years of hard work, and you can also give birth to a true pure-blood Dao body fetus, becoming the second ancestor of the alchemy path."
"oh?"
Lin Beichen was surprised.
There is also this saying.
Speaking of which, when the eldest wife was in Dongdaozhenzhou, she was a little strange in the early days.
There are two souls in her body.
So much so that mother-in-law Qin Lanshu once wanted to rely on Wei Mingchen's power to resolve the dilemma of twins.
Later, people from the Gengjin Dynasty were sent to the prehistoric universe in advance, and the disease of twin twins was solved.
At that time, Lin Beichen once thought that the reason why the Gengjin Dynasty went to such great lengths to find Chen Ling was probably not just because of family ties, but now it seems... maybe it was because of his physical constitution and bloodline.
No wonder even the mature remnant of the ancient world, the ‘Swallowing Star Jiao’, coveted and wanted to marry Ling Chen.
"How many people are participating in this competition?"
Lin Beichen asked.
Prince Qi said: "Many, except for the 'Swallowing Stars' and the strong men of the Deep Blue Orc Empire, all those with some talent and strength within the royal family of the Gengjin Dynasty have obtained the qualifications. In addition, all major human races have
The forces have also intervened one after another, the Holy Council, the Holy Cabinet and Glory City have also selected strong people to fight for it. In addition, there are also other large and small forces in the galaxy, casual cultivators, etc., with a total number of over ten thousand."
Lin Beichen raised his middle finger, rubbed his eyebrows, and said, "When will the beating last?"
Prince Qi said: "So, you must not be careless. The participants in the war are all geniuses and heroes. Even the number of emperors is quite large... If one is careless, if he is eliminated, he will really regret it.
Ten thousand years.”
Lin Beichen nodded and said: "I understand... By the way, I want to meet Chen'er first. Dear uncle, can you make arrangements for me?"
Prince Qi shook his head and said: "Princess Huanzhu is currently serving the injured Majesty in the palace and has no time to step away. It is just a good time to stay out of the matter. As one of the people participating in the competition, if you go to see her in advance, once the news spreads, you will definitely incur consequences.
I can't arrange unnecessary trouble."
"Uncle Emperor, you are not doing your best."
Lin Beichen complained and said, "Then if I want to meet my father-in-law and mother-in-law, I can do that, right?"
"who?"
Prince Qi was startled for a moment, but he soon understood. He hesitated slightly and said, "Okay, I can arrange this."
…
…
The Imperial Palace.
Quiet garden.
Qin Lanshu sat under the orchid tree, holding his chin with one hand in a daze.
Her face was full of worry.
Ever since she came to the prehistoric universe and the Gengjin Dynasty, she and her daughter had been away from each other more and less together.
Every month, we could only meet once a month under the supervision of the palace nun. We could only hold a stick of incense at a time and couldn't say much.
Now she finally understands that what the royal family values is their daughter's bloodline.
As a mother, in the eyes of the royal family, she was simply dispensable. Arranging to be raised in a place like Jingyuan was already a great honor, but in fact, it was basically no different from house arrest.
Today, Qin Lanshu is basically cut off from the outside world.
It's hard for her to know what's going on outside.
Regarding the competition to recruit a bride, no one specifically informed her mother.
I only learned the news from the palace maid who came to deliver the meal.
"Instead of doing this, it would be better to have the news between Chen'er and the Lin family come true. At least the two of them truly love each other."
Qin Lanshu regretted a little.
At least at that time, my daughter really loved that brat.
How lucky it is to marry someone you like. As a woman, Qin Lan Shu naturally knows it very well.
Now he has returned to the Gengjin Dynasty, but his fate is no longer his own. Instead, he is involved in political disputes, and is destined to become a victim of vanity fair. I heard that even the 'Swallowing Star Jian', which has lived for hundreds of thousands of years, has also turned into a human being.
The human form is here to participate in a martial arts competition to recruit a bride. If Chen'er really falls into the hands of this old monster, wouldn't life be worse than death?
The wind blows.
The orchid petals fell and withered everywhere.
Qin Lanshu felt deeply powerless and worried.
She regretted it but was helpless.
"Had I known this, it would have been a blessing to stay in Zhenzhou, the host country forever."
She sighed.
At this time, the door of Jingyuan was pushed open with a bang.
Qin Lanshu glanced at the clock.
Oh, it's time for the daily meal delivery.
A white-haired eunuch wearing a dark red snake pattern robe walked in with four young eunuchs.
Eight palace ladies followed behind, carrying two heavy food boxes.
Um?
Qin Lanshu was slightly surprised.
When the meal was delivered before, there were only four little maids, but today so many people came.
"This is Huang Qi, deputy director of the Imperial Palace. Qin Lanshu, Your Majesty has an order."
The white-haired eunuch's voice was sharp and sinister, like a poisonous snake hiding in the darkness, giving people a chilling feeling of horror.
Qin Lanshu knelt down to receive the order.
The eunuch Huang Qi said: "Your Majesty has a decree to return Princess Zhu's biological mother Qin Lan to death."
"What?"
Qin Lanshu heard the thunder and said: "Death?"
Huang Qi said expressionlessly: "Because you are the biological mother of Princess Huanzhu, before he died, His Majesty gave a dragon and phoenix banquet. This is a delicacy that ordinary princes cannot enjoy. Mrs. Qin, ate this banquet."
, just drink the poisonous wine and go on your way in peace."
Qin Lanshu couldn't accept it, raised his head and asked: "Why do you want to kill me?"
Huang Qi said calmly: "It's for the good of Your Highness the Princess. If you don't die, Your Highness will be in trouble."——
