"Fuji Banquet? What is that?" This was another word Lan Ning had never heard of.

Xuan Heng: "This is specially held for pregnant women in the Wanjing Dynasty. On the Rui Terrace, the woman kneels in front of the statue of the Beast God and prays to the Beast God to bless the healthy birth of the child in her belly. Then the empress strokes the woman's hair on behalf of the Beast God."

"Are we all going?" Lanning asked.

Xuan Heng nodded. He knew how much Lan Ning hated Fu Rou, but there was no way Lan Ning could escape from this matter because she was the princess of Wan Jing Kingdom.

"Then go!" After a moment of silence, Lan Ning picked up the cloth and needle and thread on the table and started a new round of busy work.

Xuan Heng was a busy man. He would sit next to Lan Ning for a while before going back to do his own things. Lan Ning, on the other hand, barely finished sewing two small fish sachets, then put down her needle and thread to recall the details in the original text.

Thousands of years ago, the god cast his gaze on the earth, and some intelligent wild beasts turned into humans. That group of orcs worshipped this light as the beast god, and in the years that followed, they cast statues based on the fabrication.

Later, the first empress of Wanjing proposed cooperation to all the beast tribes. The first territory they won at that time was the present-day Wanjing City. The statue of the beast god was also protected by them. They built a shrine around it and named it Ruilu Terrace, which was used for various sacrificial and blessing ceremonies.

In such an important occasion, the role of the God's Messenger is naturally played by the heterochromatic person. Furou is pregnant this time, and the first choice for the position of God's Messenger is the Empress. There is no guarantee that there will be no accidents...

"She wouldn't be stupid enough to use the baby in her belly to frame me, right?" Lan Ning guessed.

After all, that is the first child of the first princess of Wanjing, and many people are looking forward to it. There will definitely be a huge crowd of people. If Furou does something to the selection of God's messenger, she will have no way to defend herself in public!

Perfect Xiaoliu: "These are all tricks of the vicious female supporting role. She is the heroine! Maybe it's a blessing from heaven?"

This possibility cannot be ruled out.

Lan Ning suddenly thought, "But I'm the vicious female supporting role. I have to trip her up."

Perfect Xiaoliu smiled happily, "It's great that you have this awareness. What obstacles are you going to put on her?"

"Is there a skill that can create hallucinations over a large area, even for a moment?" Lan Ning was already thinking about his revenge plan in his mind.

Perfect Xiaoliu opened the system mall, "There is one, it requires... 10 points."

How many?

Lan Ning looked at the skill with red text that Perfect Little Six had flipped out, "Sixth Sense, increases the sensitivity of all attributes by 30%. It can also be used to concentrate and project the image in your mind. It lasts for 3 seconds and has a cooldown of three months. It can be upgraded and points are awarded for each upgrade."

She sighed silently, "Your system is really dark."

Perfect Xiaoliu was embarrassed, "How about...you write me an IOU? With your ability, you can earn money slowly, and then give it to us."

Although the side quests that were opened up were all insignificant small tasks, Lan Ning had accumulated nearly 10,000 points by completing them at a high frequency over the past few days.

Her inner elixir could not be completely healed due to the slowed recovery speed. The teachers said that she could not learn any magic in her current condition. If she left Xuan Heng's protection one day, she would be a useless person who could do nothing.

Moreover, a skill that can be purchased with 10 points wouldn’t be too useless, right?

Lan Ning thought about it and said, "Let's write an IOU!"

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the skill 'Sixth Sense', remaining points -, please work harder! ]

The moment the skill equipment took effect, Lan Ning felt as if something was covering her whole body. She was just sitting in the corridor, but she seemed to hear and feel the sounds and things happening in the distance.

She couldn't help but look up at the flowers in the garden, where butterflies and bees were flying, but she could guess where they would stop next by the slightest breeze that was almost inaudible.

[Congratulations to the host for triggering the hidden branch mission "Secret". Please use the "sixth sense" to discover 30 secrets of the world of beasts. The time limit is three months. Success will reward one of three skills, points, and rare props at random. ]

The secret of the world of beasts?

Lan Ning found this task very interesting. She was a new participant in this world and all she knew were the original texts and system records. After being in this world for so long, she also found that these records accounted for less than 10% of the development of this world.

The most important thing is that Furou is pregnant. Her official mission goal has shifted from killing her to fighting for power. If she wants to gain more support, she needs to make herself more valuable, such as completing the two side quests she had accepted before.

Before the Fuji Banquet, she needed to know more news about this world.

The next day, Bian Zhao came to the Regent's Palace to visit Lan Ning as usual. Because of Fu Rou's pregnancy, he was worried that Lan Ning was in a bad mood, so he brought a lot of rare things.

Entering the Narcissus Pavilion, Lan Ning was learning from the teacher. She was wearing a goose yellow glass skirt today, and the beautiful scale on her neck was particularly eye-catching. Bian Zhao guessed the origin of that thing, and he immediately went to find Xuan Heng with a gloomy face.

In the study, the eunuch said that Bian Zhao came to look for him. Xuan Heng was not surprised. He knew who would come to see him the moment he sent out Ni Lin.

"Please take a seat, sir." Considering that Bian Zhao is Lan Ning's biological father, Xuan Heng has always treated him with courtesy.

Bian Zhao glared at him. He had always been rude in the Regent's Palace. "We have decided to support Lan Ning as the princess. She will not have only you as her husband. Even so, will the Regent still choose her?"

It’s not that Bian Zhao thinks Xuan Heng is not worthy of her, but this man’s style of doing things is too cruel and arrogant. He still remembers that Xuan Heng once hung a female orc in a snake cave and scared her to death. He is worried that Xuan Heng was just acting on impulse or has other bad ideas. His daughter is so good, she must not die in Xuan Heng’s hands.

Lan Ning is already 20 years old this year. When it comes to choosing a husband, Bian Zhao has many favorites, such as Xuan Mo, whose gentle and kind personality makes it obvious that he can take good care of Lan Ning.

"From the moment I found out Furou was pregnant, I knew she would end up taking that path. It was also my utmost effort that made it happen." Xuan Heng had his own troubles. He wanted Lan Ning to stay with him and have only him in his heart, but he could not stop Lan Ning's destiny as a princess.

Becoming an imperial princess means that Lan Ning will not have only him as her husband. There are more things to consider in that position, so Xuan Heng took a step back. He thought that he was special and unique in Lan Ning's heart. If not, he might do something that Lan Ning would not like out of jealousy.

Xuan Heng didn't want to be hated by Lan Ning. He hoped from the bottom of his heart that many years later, he would still be the person Lan Ning trusted and loved the most.

"I will not take back what I have given away." Xuan Heng figured it out. At least before Lan Ning fully understood the relationship between men and women, he wanted to be Lan Ning's number one person forever and leave an indelible mark in Lan Ning's heart.

Bian Zhao couldn't help but frown. He could see that Xuan Heng was serious this time. Now that Lan Ning lived in the Regent's Palace, it was hard to guarantee that they would not develop feelings for each other as they spent so much time together. From what he could see now, Xuan Heng really valued Lan Ning.

He sighed and said, "Lan Ning is my only child. If she is wronged because of you, I will never let you go."
