She rushed back in a hurry so as not to miss the competition, and also wanted to stay for two more days to get together with her mother. After years of hard training outside, Princess Qingling was 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 reunite for the rest of their lives. So even if she acts confident,
But Princess Qingling also cherishes the past few days very much.
The reason why she shows confidence is that she is confident in her experience in fighting in the ring. Since she was a child, Princess Qingling can be said to have grown up fighting with others in the ring. That kind of non-life and death competition has become her
As part of my practice, I am confident that I will not lose to anyone in terms of experience.
Secondly, I am confident in my own hidden moves. There are special combat skills and means that I have been preparing for before. I also studied with Professor Zhang in Langyuan City for the past two months, relying on the effect of medicinal baths to improve the toughness and endurance of my skin and flesh.
He has strong strength, and after a recent medicinal bath, he could barely touch the skin and flesh of a man in the middle stage of Kaiyuan Realm. This is far beyond the toughness and endurance of female skin of fellow practitioners under normal circumstances.
A warrior with the dexterity and speed of a woman, as well as toughness and endurance, Princess Qingling feels that she has never been stronger.
And this kind of power is still hidden under the surface. She even listened to Zhang Yan's suggestion and learned a frontal attack combat skill as a trump card 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.
Unusual means are the last thing Princess Qingling hopes for in this competition. It is the strange-looking piece of paper she keeps in her inner pocket.
"Burn it before going on stage and drink the ashes with strong liquor. It will help you."
That's what Professor Zhang said at that time. Princess Qingling remembered it but couldn't help but find it ridiculous. Based on her experience in 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. In addition, the magic and weirdness of "The Method of Refining Skin and Flesh with Medicine" also gave these weird words an added layer of mystery that cannot be ignored.
Believe it or not?
Does Princess Qingling have a choice? She doesn'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 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.
"Yes." nodded. Princess Qingling did not agree. In her mind, the father is not the same as "father", but more of a majestic symbol and a ruler. Even subconsciously, she needs to fight against it.
One of the targets. 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 Zhang Jiaoxi.
It was not until after noon that Huarong Zhaoyi asked Princess Qingling to carry a can of slow-cooked soup to the Qinzheng Hall.
Different from when she came back yesterday, Princess Qingling has changed out of her elegant clothes. She has changed into palace clothes, and her long hair has also changed into hair accessories. She looks young and beautiful, and at the same time she has the dignity and reserve of a royal princess.
In fact, Princess Qingling doesn't like the way she has to follow rules even when walking. There are rules for the distance of each step. This makes her uncomfortable.
After noon, the morning affairs in the Qinzheng Hall came to an end. Huarong Zhaoyi had obviously made arrangements in advance. As soon as Princess Qingling passed by, there was a eunuch waiting for her, and he led her into the hall, and then turned
Dao went to the study at the back of the main hall. The emperor would rest here when he was free from administrative affairs. He also often had lunch here.
The eunuch led Princess Qingling in, then quietly 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.
"Well. 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."
After waiting 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 side, looked at his daughter carefully, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen her in more than two years. She has grown taller."
I have grown a lot and have become a big girl!"
"My son is unfilial. I have not paid my respects to my father in the past two years, so why should I ask him to punish me?" Princess Qingling said and bowed down.
"Punishment? Do you and I, father and daughter, 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. Even this is the goal you have been working hard for for more than ten years.
, what is the crime?”
After a pause, Yang Sheng called the eunuch to serve the meal and asked Princess Qingling to eat with him. He chatted while eating.
The emperor's lunch is not necessarily much better than the one eaten at the homes of ordinary rich families. It is more refined, and the ingredients are the same. Three meats and three vegetables, one soup, plus one seasonal fruit. And the cup brought by Princess Qingling
Old soup.
"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 martial arts talent 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 worst among them is
It’s not your talent, but the foundation of our Nanyuan Kingdom. If Wu Chi is still there, your talent will definitely be in the late Kaiyuan realm. It’s a pity.”
Princess Qingling also knew about the "Wu Chi" mentioned by Yang Sheng. It was a secret to the outside world, but it was not a secret to the royal family. In fact, the reason why the previous dynasty Qiande came to the country was because of the collapse of the "Wu Chi", which caused a breakdown in top-level power.
Gradually losing the power of the country, and finally falling 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, 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' time!"
