Female supremacy: The journey of a pregnant princess to the top

Time flies, and ten days have passed in the blink of an eye. She has lost another ten pounds and her figure has become more graceful.

During this period, Jiang Lingyue not only went to the academy on time to study herbal medicine and spearmanship, but also practiced with Liu Xiuhan every night. In such a short period of time, his realm was about to break through to the middle stage of Qi Refining, and his spiritual roots also showed a faint trend of upgrading.

But she suddenly felt a little worried, afraid that someone would find out that she had upgraded her spiritual roots and couldn't explain it. A gentleman is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. With her current strength, she couldn't fight anyone head-on, so she could only hide.

After much thought, she found a solution, which was to present the technique to the empress and her father. As for the source of the technique, she said it was obtained in the secret realm of the sect's trial.

Moreover, even if others also use the system's skills to practice, they only have basic gain effects, without the doubling bonus of increased favorability, and their speed is still far behind her. Therefore, the advantage lies with her.

Now it seemed that even if there was no bet, she had to get a place in the school trial and go for a tour. That way, if she had any unexplained things in the future, she could blame it on the secret realm.

As for dual cultivation, it is better to postpone it before the school trial, so as not to accidentally upgrade the spiritual root. At present, it is most important to get pregnant and have a child as soon as possible to earn system experience, points and rewards.

While he was thinking, the housekeeper Qiuju walked into the courtyard and brought an invitation to the Full Moon Festival palace banquet.

Jiang Lingyue felt a little bit of anticipation in her heart. She had been in this world for nearly two months, and this was her first time entering the palace. She also wanted to see Her Majesty the Queen and the original owner's biological father with her own eyes.

On the day of the palace banquet, Jiang Lingyue, her concubine Liu Xiuhan, and her personal maid Chuntao, boarded a carriage and headed for the palace.

Along the way, Jiang Lingyue looked at the scenery outside the window excitedly. When they arrived at the south gate of the palace, the guards checked their badges as usual and respectfully let them into the palace.

After entering the palace, the three of them were led to the banquet hall. The palace was brightly lit, and royal relatives, civil and military ministers, and aristocratic families attended in their best attire.

Jiang Lingyue looked forward and saw the eldest princess Jiang Lingyan and the second princess Jiang Lingshuang, whom she had not seen for a long time.

The eldest princess was wearing a dark red embroidered brocade robe, sitting at the table, bright and elegant, calm and reserved. She was 300 years old this year, with three spiritual roots of gold, wood and fire at the lower level of the heavenly rank, and had reached the peak of the Jindan stage.

She has the best spiritual roots and the highest cultivation among all the princesses, and is now the Crown Princess. When the eldest princess breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, the Queen will pass the throne to her and become the free and easy Supreme Emperor, only focusing on pleasure and cultivation, and no longer having to deal with government affairs.

The second princess sat next to the eldest princess. She was tall, thin, fair-skinned, and well-read. She was dressed in an ice-blue dress, looking a little cold and distant. She was 270 years old this year, with dual spiritual roots of earth and water at the Earth Rank, and had reached the late stage of Jindan cultivation.

The other princesses were also sitting nearby, drinking wine and tea, chatting and laughing in low voices.

Jiang Lingyue found her seat at the edge of the princesses' area. She sat down with Liu Xiuhan and quietly enjoyed the performance, while Chuntao waited beside her.

At this time, the sound of gongs and drums attracted everyone's attention.

Following the announcement of "His Majesty the Emperor has arrived", the empress led her husband, followed by a group of concubines, to the banquet hall.

Everyone stood up and saluted. After the ceremony, the empress and her husband sat at the top, and the rest of the male concubines sat on the side.

The Queen said some polite words, which were nothing more than blessing everyone, and then the banquet officially began.

Various delicacies and fine wines were constantly served, and there were also wonderful singing and dancing performances. Jiang Lingyue enjoyed the food while observing the people around her.

The empress wore a phoenix crown and a golden satin robe. The orange-red phoenix embroidery on the robe was lifelike, and she looked dignified and majestic without even being angry.

Jiang Lingyue opens the Eye of Exploration. 800 years old, mid-grade heavenly spiritual roots of gold, wood and earth, mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation. Favorability towards the host: 20.

The life span of a cultivator in the Yuanying stage is 2000 years, and an 800-year-old looks about the same as a 40-year-old human.

The Queen is worthy of being the biological mother. The original owner is so useless and ugly, but she has a favorability level of 20.

Everyone toasted Her Majesty the Queen and congratulated her on the festival.

When it was Jiang Lingyue's turn, she stood up, holding the wine glass, and bowed slightly, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, Queen Mother. I wish you good health and a smile on your face."

The Queen smiled and looked at her. "No need to be polite, Lingyue. I heard that you have been going to the academy on time recently and have learned to control your diet. Mother is very happy."

"Thank you for your concern, mother. I will continue to work hard." Jiang Lingyue replied respectfully and sat down.

After three rounds of drinks, music started, and a group of dancers walked onto the stage and began a wonderful dance performance. Jiang Lingyue watched the performance on the stage, but in her heart she was thinking about the next plan.

She decided to keep a low profile at the palace banquet and not attract too much attention.

After the dance ended and they had enough to eat and drink, the empress and her husband left hand in hand. Everyone was free to move around, and young men and women gathered together to play games, such as throwing pots, beating drums, passing flowers, guessing riddles, etc.

Jiang Lingyue did not join, but brought Liu Xiu Han to her biological father Shen Cejun.

Shen Cejun is 90 years old this year. He has human-grade top-grade wood spiritual roots and has reached the peak of Qi Refining cultivation.

The life span of a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage is 200 years, so he now looks to be about 40 years old as a human being. He has a gentle temperament and his face still shows the handsome features of his youth.

"Father, Happy Full Moon Festival!" Jiang Lingyue introduced, "This is my concubine Liu Xiuhan."

Shen Cejun nodded, "Lingyue, you have indeed lost a lot of weight. You are even more beautiful now."

He looked at Liu Xiuhan, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. "What a handsome guy, no wonder my Lingyue likes him."

"Thank you for the compliment, father." Liu Xiu Han smiled.

Jiang Lingyue was a little embarrassed, "Father, please stop making fun of me."

Shen Cejun laughed out loud, "I'm not making fun of you. I'm really happy for you."

Jiang Lingyue smiled shyly, "Father, your daughter and Xiu Han would like to toast you." As she said that, she and Liu Xiu Han raised their glasses together.

Shen Cejun picked up the wine glass with a smile, clinked it with theirs, and then drank it all in one gulp.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two returned to their seats.

Jiang Lingyue felt that this gentle father was very good, and silently decided in her heart that she would help him improve his cultivation, become younger, and regain the favor of the Queen.

"What are you thinking about?" Liu Xiu Han asked softly.

Jiang Lingyue came back to her senses and shook her head. "Nothing, just some feelings. Let's go for a walk."

The two walked hand in hand in the palace. As they walked, they came to a garden. There were all kinds of flowers blooming in the garden, emitting bursts of fragrance.

"How beautiful..." Jiang Lingyue exclaimed, "Xiu Han, look at how gorgeous the peonies over there are."

He nodded. "Indeed, you are beautiful, but in my eyes, you are more beautiful than these flowers."

Jiang Lingyue blushed when she heard this, "You are the only one who talks sweetly."

At this time, Liu Xiuhan suddenly covered his stomach and said, "Yue'er, I feel a little uncomfortable. I want to go to the toilet."

"Ah? Are you okay? Do you want me to accompany you?" She looked worried.

"No, no, just wait here for me, I'll be back soon." After saying that, Liu Xiu Han ran away.

Looking at his back disappearing into the night, she was stunned for a moment. Why was he so anxious?

She was walking around in circles out of boredom when she vaguely heard the sound of a wheelchair.

Turning her head, she saw Wen Yuanzhou looking at her on the corridor not far away. The moonlight shone on his elegant and handsome face, and there seemed to be a hint of loneliness and desolation.
