Huangxiu

Chapter 825 Chalcedony
"My lady, will the princess be upset?"

"What is she mad about?!"

"I guess they are very sweet to each other, so they must be protecting him."

"She...still thinks she's smart."

"Her Royal Highness is indeed extremely intelligent, not inferior to the Empress."

"She is far worse than me. At least I won't be fascinated by a man."

"...Yes." The beautiful woman smiled and said, "His Highness the Ninth Prince is also a very pretty man, and with his gentleness, which woman can resist him?"

"Ugh……"

"What's more, this guy has a lover, not an unfaithful person."

"This kid is quite sensible."

The young lady, the Queen of the Phoenix Dynasty, shook her head and sighed, "We haven't found out what's wrong with his mother yet?"

The beautiful woman shook her head gently: "There is nothing wrong with it, it is very common, it may be the inner demon of Emperor Yujing."

"Alas...poor girl..." The Queen shook her head: "She has been treated so coldly since she was a child. It's rare that she is not cynical."

"Maybe it's because of Miss Youlan in the mansion."

"Well, has Miss Youlan already left?"

"It is estimated that they will arrive tonight. Our Prince Consort is very thoughtful."

"If you can't even protect the people around you, you are unworthy of being a man."

As the two were talking, a palace maid came over quietly to report that the princess and her husband had already entered the palace.

The Queen asked, "Where is Hou'er?"

The beautiful woman said, "The Third Prince is currently in seclusion practicing hard."

"This bastard!" The queen's face suddenly darkened and she snorted coldly.

The beautiful woman smiled and said, "Your Highness the Third Prince is at a critical juncture and is about to break through the next level, which is also a happy event."

The queen snorted, "He thinks practicing is good and nothing is worth worrying about. He just makes Tan'er suffer."

The beautiful woman said, "My lady, it won't delay the princess's practice, so that's all."

The queen shook her head and said, "Stubborn stone won't nod!"

She was helpless against the third prince's stubbornness.

It’s no use saying it many times, I’m just obsessed with practicing.

I feel that the most beautiful thing in the world is spiritual practice, and other worldly things are just obstacles to spiritual practice.

After becoming a venerable, he still practiced asceticism blindly, thinking that traveling through the secular world and seeing people's hearts was not the right path.

To fully understand the true source of martial arts is the true path.

It seemed as if everyone in the world was a fool, and he was the only one who had grasped the true essence of martial arts.

It's just baffling.

Another palace maid came in to report that Her Royal Highness the Princess and her husband had already arrived at the second palace gate, Duanyi Gate.

"You're walking fast enough," said the Queen.

She got up and prepared to change her clothes.

"Your Highness, forget it." The beautiful woman said hurriedly, "The princess will be able to expose it in a moment."

"I'll send her a message." The queen said with a smile.

The beautiful woman looked helpless.

The Queen said, "Suzhen, don't you want to test your husband's eyesight?"

"What does it matter if the prince consort has good or bad eyesight?"

"No, I don't like stupid people."

"……Yes."

Another palace maid came lightly and reported that the princess and her husband had arrived at the third Zhaoming Gate.

"Hurry up, help me change my clothes." said the queen.

The beautiful woman had no choice but to help her go into the house and change into a palace maid's clothes.

However, the beautiful woman would never wear the queen's daily clothes to avoid the crime of usurpation.

"The princess and her husband have arrived at Taihe Gate."

"The princess and her husband have arrived at Antai Gate."

"Here they come!" The beautiful woman and the queen both looked serious.

Chu Zhiyuan and Li Miaotan walked side by side, with a red-robed eunuch leading the way.

Following behind were Li Yuchun, Li Yuzhen and Fu Zheng. Other guards such as Lu Yuanhao were not allowed to enter the palace.

Chu Zhiyuan didn't turn on his super sense.

This is the imperial palace, where the world's top masters and top treasures gather.

Once the super sense is activated, it will inevitably cause a reaction and expose the existence of the super sense.

But just by looking at the naked eye, the high palace walls formed an absolute obstacle.

No matter how good your eyesight is, you can't see through the palace wall to the other side, let alone see far away.

Layer upon layer of palace walls absolutely block out prying eyes.

He looked at it curiously.

The palace in front of me is no different from the palace of the Yujing Dynasty.

The styles are similar, both are a perfect combination of gorgeousness and solemnity. When you are in it, you can't help but feel awe.

At the same time, he also felt the suppression of invisible forces.

It was as if there was a colorless and invisible glass cover that suddenly covered the sky.

Isolating oneself from the void spiritual energy.

But the surrounding area is full of spiritual energy, with lush trees, greenery and vitality.

These spiritual energies come from the earth, not the void.

When warriors practice, the source of spiritual energy is the spiritual energy vortex above the void.

As a result, in this place with abundant spiritual energy, the warriors were cut off from the source of their power.

Unless you practice special skills, you can absorb spiritual energy from the surrounding area.

However, what Chu Zhiyuan was curious about was that he could no longer absorb spiritual energy, but could absorb the power of Tianlong.

Above the void, the power that Tianlong absorbed and transformed still fell on him, nourishing his body.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, are you being too grand? You're passing the message through every door."

Li Miaotan frowned slightly and said softly, "Mother, this is indeed a bit too grand."

"It won't be a good feast," Chu Zhiyuan said, "are you going to give me a show of strength?"

Li Miaotan chuckled: "It's hard to say."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head: "I haven't offended the queen, right?"

"That's hard to say." Li Miaotan chuckled.

The two chatted and laughed, walked through another door, and finally arrived at the open back garden.

Different types of trees grow into forests, forming small woods.

There are patches of flowers between the woods.

The fragrance floats in the air, refreshing the heart. An open lake is shrouded by trees, with pavilions and towers on the lake.

However, the tallest one is a three-story pavilion, which can be seen from a distance.

Several white cranes took off and landed on the high platform of the pavilion, flying up from time to time and landing from time to time.

The huge golden tripod sparkles in the sun.

Beside the jade railing of the high platform, a woman was leaning against the railing and waved at them.

Chu Zhiyuan could see the beautiful woman clearly: "Is that the queen?"

Li Miaotan's bright eyes flashed and she chuckled.

Chu Zhiyuan turned his head and looked over. Seeing her expression, he couldn't help but ask, "No?"

"you guess."

"Really not?" Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile: "Then who is this person?"

Li Miaotan smiled and said, "Aunt Ning."

Chu Zhiyuan suddenly understood.

But she is the queen's personal maid, otherwise she would not have done such a thing.

Li Miaotan smiled and said, "Let's see if you can find your mother later."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Is this the first level? It will test my eyesight."

"Yes." Li Miaotan said with a smile.

The two of them walked along the path surrounded by green trees and flowers along the lakeside, and finally came to the three-story pavilion. They climbed the steps and reached the third floor.

It has only three floors and does not look very high from a distance, but when you are inside it you can deeply appreciate its height.

"Aunt Ning." Li Miaotan said angrily, "Mother is really..."

Ning Suzhen smiled and said, "It all depends on the ability of the Prince Consort."

Chu Zhiyuan clasped his fists and smiled.

Li Miaotan looked around and asked, "Father, are you really not coming?"

Ning Suzhen shook her head gently: "The emperor didn't say he would come. The queen said that if the prince consort could recognize her, she would give him a treasure."

"What treasure?" Li Miaotan asked hurriedly.

Ning Suzhen smiled and said, "It's a treasure from Yu Kunlun Palace, the Heavenly Heart Jade Marrow."

Li Miaotan smiled and said, "My Queen Mother is very generous."

She turned her head and looked at Chu Zhiyuan: "This is better than Qingming Linglu!"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

A group of palace maids filed out and filled the jade table with all kinds of fruits and fine wines.

Chu Zhiyuan glanced at one of the palace maids, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Greetings, mother."

The surrounding palace maids were all beautiful and charming, and this palace maid was no different from the other palace maids.

Chu Zhiyuan recognized it at a glance.

It's not based on eyesight, but on feeling, a strange intuition.

However, these palace maids did not stop, but continued to retreat and leave.

Chu Zhiyuan took a step forward to the palace maid and said with a smile, "Mother, right?"

Li Miaotan said with a smile: "Mother, don't play tricks!"

The palace maid rolled her eyes helplessly and said angrily: "You're turning your elbow outward!"

Li Miaotan said, "How could such a trick fool him?"

"Who said you can't fool me?" The maid snorted, "If you didn't say Su Zhen wasn't real, he wouldn't have recognized me!"

As she spoke, she turned around and walked lightly into the room next door.

Ning Suzhen followed in.

When she came out a moment later, the queen had changed into a lavender gown with golden threads forming strange patterns that looked like clouds and mist.

She has a beautiful face, as white as jade and as delicate as grass.

The palace maids around her were already beautiful and charming, but in front of her, they suddenly looked dull and lifeless.

When she put on this dress, she suddenly looked elegant and graceful, like a fairy concubine.

“Greetings, mother.” Chu Zhiyuan clasped his fists and saluted solemnly.

The queen waved her hand and said, "Okay, we are a family from now on. There is no need to be so polite."

"Thank you, mother." Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile.

The queen snorted and looked at Ning Suzhen.

Ning Suzhen was already holding a small box made of white jade.

She held her hands in front of Chu Zhiyuan and said, "My Lord, please."

Chu Zhiyuan took it and opened it. Inside was a jade pendant the size of his little finger.

The jade pendant is crystal clear, almost like a sculpture from ice.

The Queen said, "It is only this big. It is enough for you."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slightly.

He stretched out his hand and slowly touched the jade pendant, which immediately felt cool.

This refreshing feeling rushed straight into my mind and lingered in it.

Suddenly, the world became clear.

At the same time, the relationship with heaven and earth becomes closer.

It really feels like taking the Qingming Spirit Dew, or even better.

He couldn't help but smile: "Good stuff!"

"This is chalcedony." Li Miaotan said with a smile, "It is a treasure that is not passed down from generation to generation in the Jade Kunlun Palace."

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Li Miaotan: "Madam, you..."

"I don't need this." Li Miaotan said.

Chu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow.

Li Miaotan said: "I took spiritual things when I was a child, and it had this effect."

"What she took was chalcedony milk." The queen smiled and said, "It's more powerful than yours."

Chu Zhiyuan suddenly realized.

At the same time, he also understood why Li Miaotan had such aptitude and his cultivation speed was so fast.

Obviously, this kind of spiritual treasure has been used a lot.

"Please take your seat," said the Queen, "We will use the treasure later."

"Father is really not coming?"

"He..." The queen shook her head and said, "He can't stand seeing your husband. He said he was worried that he would get angry and could not help but hit him."

"Father is really something!" Li Miaotan said angrily.

"It can't be helped," the Queen said, "How can I not feel sad when my beloved baby is married off to someone else?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "It would be better not to meet the emperor."
