Huangxiu

Chapter 365: Concubine Ping
Chu Zhiyuan asked: "Uncle, can a Grandmaster achieve immortality after reaching perfection?"

"Of course not." Chu Qingfeng said: "Five hundred years is the limit."

"Then do we have any martial arts that surpass the Grandmaster level?"

“Outer martial arts?… There are indeed martial arts that surpass the Grandmaster level, but they cannot be practiced. They are just theories.” Chu Qingfeng said, “Some people have found this kind of martial arts in secret places, but that is a level that can only be achieved through practice in other worlds. Here, the Grandmaster is the limit.”

Chu Zhiyuan said: "If I stay in the secret place for a month, come back for a few days, and then go back to the secret place..."

"You stay in the secret place for a month, and you have to stay for at least a month after you come back," Chu Qingfeng said, "otherwise you can't enter the secret place."

"Stay in that secret place for a month, cultivate strength beyond that of a grandmaster, and after returning..."

"That requires you to perfect the Grandmaster level first. As far as I know, no one in the world has yet achieved this."

"...I understand." Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

You have to experiment for yourself.

Chu Qingfeng laughed and said, "You...want to fly before you even learn how to run."

"You have to think about it." Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile.

"…Your words are not without hope."

"Uncle, I am not a grandmaster yet."

"You are not a grandmaster yet, but you can withstand my power." Chu Qingfeng shook his head.

Once his power is released, a normal master will feel dizzy and even if he does not faint, he will lose the ability to move.

But Chu Zhiyuan was not affected at all, and still used his power to resist the invasion of the sword.

"Uncle, I'm already in the ninth heaven."

"Ninth level?" Chu Qingfeng said hurriedly, "Didn't my brother ask you to slow down?"

"It's not the Jade Lock and Golden Gate Technique that is used to break through." Chu Zhiyuan said.

"...The young are truly to be feared." Chu Qingfeng sighed.

Chu Zhiyuan's breakthrough was as easy as drinking water.

I thought it would take several years to enter the ninth heaven, but it took less than a month.

“When will it reach perfection?”

"Based on the current progress, one year will be enough."

"The faster you go now, the longer you'll be stuck in Grandmaster Perfection."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Let's wait until we reach Grandmaster Perfection first, and then we can say what we want at what time."

"...That's right." Chu Qingfeng could only agree.

Who made him have such extraordinary understanding and talent?

At this point, he is already unprecedented, and as for whether there will be anyone who can succeed him, that is almost impossible.

Such a genius cannot be speculated by common sense, so just let him explore it on his own.

"Uncle, about the matter of the Eighteenth Princess..." Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

"Oh..." Chu Qingfeng sighed.

Of course he knew what Chu Zhiyuan was thinking. Everyone knew what Chu Zhiyuan was thinking—he didn't want to marry Princess Dazhen.

But there are some things that are beyond our control.

"Grandfather wants me to marry the Eighteenth Princess, right?"

"You knew already?"

"Grandfather has already let out a word, testing my reaction."

I told myself through Concubine Rou's mouth, tested myself, and gave myself a psychological buffer.

"My brother has his own difficulties too."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "If I don't marry Princess Dazhen, will Dazhen not form an alliance with us? That's impossible, right?"

Chu Qingfeng sighed: "Dazhen discovered a new secret place."

Chu Zhiyuan was stunned.

"If you marry Princess Dazhen, the new secret place can be shared with Dajing."

Chu Zhiyuan asked: "Will there be new secret places?"

"The world didn't have so many secret places from the beginning."

"That was added piece by piece until now?"

"The secret places occupied by the four major sects are the earliest batch. It is said that they appeared 20,000 years ago. Our four major caves appeared 10,000 years ago. Our four major secret places appeared 5,000 years ago." "A secret place appears once every 5,000 years?"

"It's hard to say. We can't figure out the rules yet. It's possible that a batch will appear every ten thousand years."

"Where's Dameng?" Chu Zhiyuan asked, "A new secret place appeared in Dazhen, but we didn't show up? Dameng didn't show up?"

"Now only Dazhen has discovered the new secret place."

"...Where are Dalie and Daguang?" Chu Zhiyuan's face was solemn.

"Da Lie and Da Guang can't cause any trouble. It's useless even if they show up in the secret place." Chu Qingfeng said disdainfully: "The biggest disadvantage is that we have too few people."

Chu Zhiyuan pondered and said, "We still need to take a closer look... In fact, I think we should take the opportunity to move east and take Dalie and Daguang into our pockets. No matter how few secret places there are, they are still secret places."

"If we send troops to Dalie and Daguang, not only will Dameng fight to the death, Dazhen will not be willing either."

"Then send out troops quickly while they haven't reacted yet."

"Da Lie and Da Guang are not made of clay. Your surprise attack on the Phoenix Camp this time was a coincidence. There won't be a next time."

"Then let Daguang destroy Dalie."

"Da Meng and Da Zhen will not stand idly by."

"Then find a way to cut off the hands that Da Meng and Da Zhen are extending."

"How can it be easy?" Chu Qingfeng said, "And if we really want to destroy Dalie and Daguang, the resistance from the court will be huge."

Chu Zhiyuan frowned: "Do they have interests in Dalie and Daguang?"

Chu Qingfeng smiled.

Chu Zhiyuan's comprehension is not only extraordinary in martial arts, but also in court affairs.

It's easy to understand with just one click, and it's difficult to understand with just one click.

This is really rare.

The tenth prince's cleverness is all in marching and fighting, and he is far less knowledgeable than the fourth prince in the mundane affairs of the court and the intricacies of human nature.

Chu Zhiyuan snorted, "These court officials are truly loyal to the emperor and patriotic."

"It's human nature." Chu Qingfeng said.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

He could indeed understand that no one could escape fame and fortune, and court ministers were not saints.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "So, I must marry the Eighteenth Princess?"

Chu Qingfeng smiled and said, "Her Highness the Eighteenth Princess has a very good reputation in Dazhen. She is calm and elegant, and not the type to stir up trouble. You don't have to worry about the unrest in the harem affecting your practice."

He knew Chu Zhiyuan's concerns.

Marrying a Dazhen princess home will indeed have an impact on the harem.

Xiao Ruoling is a good housekeeper who can keep the house in order, allowing him to practice in peace.

But with the eighteenth princess, things are different.

It is extremely difficult to get two powerful women to live in peace, so he is inevitably distracted.

Chu Zhiyuan was silent.

He was secretly tied to Princess Dazhen and he really had no choice.

Dazhen must want to share the secret place with Dajing, so he just added a condition and there is no need to worry that Dajing will not agree.

I'm afraid that in the eyes of outsiders, I might seem too pretentious to be so shy.

In their eyes, they had made a fortune by marrying a stunning beauty, a princess of noble status.

Chu Qingfeng said: "My brother also feels that he should not break his promise, but the situation is such that he has no choice but to let you marry the Eighteenth Princess... So my brother decided to make an exception and grant you the title of Consort Ping, while the Eighteenth Princess and the daughter of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion will both be the principal wives."

Chu Zhiyuan laughed.

Not to mention the Crown Prince's Consort, even among the princesses, there is only one legitimate princess, and there is no such thing as Princess Ping.

In Dajing, the only person who had two queens was the emperor.

The Queen of the East Palace and the Queen of the West Palace.

The palaces of princes, dukes, earls, and marquises all do not have two principal wives.

This is beyond the limit.

I guess once this decision is made, the entire court will be in an uproar and everyone will oppose it.
