This young woman in her thirties has been looking better and better since taking the Dingyan Pill.
"Ya'er, let's watch some tea for Your Majesty."
"Yes, empress."
A palace maid was busy preparing tea for Ximen Hao.
Ximen Hao looked at the warmly decorated Taifei Palace. Although it was not as luxurious as the harem, it was still fresh and elegant.
Concubine Hua looked at Ximen Hao secretly, wondering why he came here this time.
Could it be that why did you borrow the money in the first place?
"Taifei Hua, I remember that I borrowed some Yuanshi elixirs from you in Donglin City and made an IOU, right?"
Ximen Hao's words made the other party's face change.
"Your majesty is serious. My mother's family's property is inseparable from the royal family. Now that your majesty is the king of a country, the IOU will naturally be void."
"Hahaha! If you borrow, you borrow, and you have to pay back the money you borrow. Well, these are two Dingyan Pills. According to the rules established at the beginning, the day for repayment has long come."
Ximen Hao took out two jade bottles, which contained two Dingyan Pills.
Of course, the IOU is to be repaid in half a year and fully paid in five years.
Concubine Hua's face lit up, but she still didn't reach out to pick it up.
Although this Dingyan Dan is an elixir, how can it be so easy to get His Majesty’s things?
"Your Majesty, forget it, I've already torn up the IOU."
"Hey! Even if you tear it up, it won't change the facts? I'll leave these two Dingyan Pills here."
Ximen Hao said, put the jade bottle on the table, then reached out to pick up the fragrant tea brought by the palace maid, and sipped it.
Concubine Hua looked at Ximen Hao's appearance, then glanced at Dingyan Dan, her bright eyes flashed, and she suddenly understood.
"Your Majesty is here, do you need Yuan Stone?"
Ximen Hao raised his eyebrows. It was a pleasure to talk to smart people.
"Alas! To be honest, Princess Hua, I have just ascended the throne and the national treasury is tight, and the Qing Kingdom has just experienced war and needs to recruit soldiers. But recruiting soldiers requires primeval stones, elixirs, weapon refining materials, and some martial arts secrets.
…”
Concubine Hua listened to Ximen Hao's words and her eyelids jumped wildly. What does the other party want to do? Why is he lacking everything?
"Oh, by the way, especially martial arts. I need some hiding, escape and other martial arts. I wonder if I can find them in Princess Hua's property?"
Ximen Hao reminded me of the key points.
"Well... let's see, Your Majesty, my eldest brother is now taking care of my mother's family's property. How about I let him come into the palace to talk to Your Majesty?"
Concubine Hua can no longer make the decision. Even when Ximen Potian was on the throne, these were matters that her eldest brother would discuss with His Majesty.
Ximen Hao smiled, this was what he wanted.
"Then there is Princess Laohua. I will wait for her in the imperial study room."
With that said, he stood up slowly and prepared to leave.
"Your Majesty, then this Dingyan Pill..."
Concubine Hua asked, pointing to the jade bottle on the table.
"Hahaha! I will be able to refine this kind of elixir in the future."
Ximen Hao laughed and slowly left the Dowager Palace.
"I respectfully send you to Your Majesty."
Concubine Hua smiled slightly at the door, and after leading Ximen Hao away completely, the smile on her face disappeared instantly.
He turned around and collected two Dingyan Pills, and then ordered:
"Ya'er, go to Lingge Camp and inform your uncle to attack and meet with His Majesty."
"Yes, Princess Dowager."
…
Royal study room.
"Prajna, how are you preparing the materials?"
When Ximen Hao returned to the imperial study, he sent Hu Prajna to the imperial study.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, according to the size of the totem and the location you gave me...the ratio of that one to other materials, the collected one and the materials are more than enough. Your Majesty, do you want to take a look?"
Fox Prajna said, taking out a jade bottle from his sleeve, which contained a bottle of aunt's blood.
"No, no, no! I won't watch anymore."
Ximen Hao quickly shook his head.
"Don't you want to see it? This is..."
Fox Prajna blushed prettyly and glanced at Ximen Hao with a hint of meaning.
"Damn it! It's not yours, is it?"
Ximen Hao's eyes widened.
Fox Prajna rolled his eyes and said angrily:
"Your Majesty, I haven't had my period yet... Bah! This doesn't belong to me, it belongs to your ex-sister-in-law."
"Nani?"
Ximen Hao was even more confused.
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that Pan Yunlian has not been dealt with yet. Later, Cheng Cheng was released, and Pan Yunlian was also released. But now she has seen through the world of mortals and has become a nun."
Fox Prajna explained.
"What? Pan Yunlian became a monk?"
Ximen Hao was a little surprised. As he spoke, he had already forgotten this talented woman.
"Haha, Your Majesty, but now she has been persuaded by Cheng Cheng and is now a teacher at our new college. I don't know how she knew that Your Majesty was collecting menstrual blood. She just happened to have menstruation again, so she took it.
Some to repay Your Majesty for not killing."
As Hu Prajna explained, he placed the jade bottle on the table and continued:
"She also asked me to tell your majesty that she has cut off all the strands of mortal world. Please rest assured that she will devote herself to teaching students in the college to atone for her sins. She also asked your majesty not to harm her family."
Ximen Hao felt somewhat after listening to Hu Prajna's words. This Pan Yunlian had a hard life.
I reached out and picked up my aunt's blood on the table. I was about to open it, but I was afraid of bad luck, so I put it away.
"Don't use it, I'll keep it as a souvenir."
"Forehead……"
Fox Prajna was speechless, His Majesty's hobby is really... special.
"Ahem, um, how are the hundreds of painters doing?"
Ximen Hao felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward and changed the topic.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, out of hundreds of painters, forty-five were qualified in the end. Others have been given some hush money and sent out of the palace. In fact, I wanted to kill someone to silence them, but the queen..."
"Oh, it's okay, it doesn't matter even if others know the style of the totem."
Ximen Hao did not let Hu Prajna continue talking.
With the sound transmission totem, there are no tattoo materials. Even if you have them, it will be in vain if you don't have your own skills.
Hu Banruo took a deep look at Ximen Hao. As soon as he mentioned the great queen, he was interrupted by the other party. This emperor is very protective of his shortcomings.
"Your Majesty, the materials and painters for the totem tattoo have been prepared. What should we do next?"
Ximen Hao frowned and thought for a moment, there is no tattoo artist in this world...
"Right! Prajna, go to the Jiaofang Division, select some women with good embroidery skills, then find some pork, ask the painter to draw totems on the pork, and then ask the women to use silver needles to dip dye on them to connect them. Hmm~
Wrap some cotton thread around the silver needle to absorb the dye."
Hu Prajna's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Ximen Hao with a hint of admiration.
Is there anything else you don’t understand about this man?
"Hey! What? Are you obsessed with brother? Otherwise, here..."
Ximen Hao looked at the empty imperial study room. Now the palace belongs to him and he can do whatever he wants!
