The Seven Princesses' Journey Across Time

Zi'er blinked her bright eyes and bombarded her with questions, one after another, as if pouring out all her confusion. Mianmian, smiling the entire time, quietly gazed at the incredibly intelligent woman before her, thinking to herself, "The princess truly has a keen eye. She can see so deeply into these potential problems." Seeing Zi'er ready and eager to try, Mianmian couldn't help but feel relieved.

Mianmian said softly, "Since that's the case, let's set off without delay! May this journey be smooth sailing." With that, a dazzling light suddenly flashed, as dazzling as a shooting star across the night sky. When the light faded, Zi'er and Mianmian had both vanished from the spot, like a gentle breeze, leaving no trace. In the blink of an eye, they had entered the world of Princess Huanzhu.

As soon as she entered this unfamiliar world, Zi'er felt a dull, unbearable pain in her head, like a heavy burden pressing down on her. She instinctively reached for her forehead and asked, bewildered, "Mianmian, what's wrong with me right now? Am I sick with a fever?" Mianmian softly soothed her, "Don't worry, Princess. You are now Qing'er. It's the tenth year of the Qianlong Emperor's reign. You are only five years old, and you've just lost both your parents. The original owner's excessive grief has severely damaged her body, triggering this raging fever."

Hearing this, Zi'er frowned and asked worriedly, "So, where am I at this moment?" Mianmian quickly replied, "Princess, this is the Cining Palace. I've been taken in by the old Buddha."

Zi'er: "Remember to call me Qing'er from now on, so that you can integrate into the role faster. Do the same in the future. When you arrive in a new world, call me by the name of that world." Mianmian nodded quickly and agreed, "Okay, Qing'er." He quickly changed his words and called her Qing'er.

Zi'er took out a pill she had made from the space and put it into her mouth. This pill was made when she and Zheyan first learned medicine. Although they had just started learning medicine at that time, it was more than enough to solve the current small problem. The main reason was that she was afraid that it would be too good for her small body to bear.

Mianmian watched Qing'er swallow the pill and said with emotion, "Qing'er, this space of yours is really useful. You can take it with you wherever you go, and you can even stock up on items you might need in the future." Qing'er nodded in agreement and added, "Yes, with this space, at least my safety is greatly guaranteed. But I can't neglect improving my own strength, so I must practice martial arts. The spiritual energy in this world is very thin, almost non-existent, so I can only practice the martial arts of this world. However, it seems that there are some light skills that can be practiced."

As the pills gradually took effect, Qing'er's pale complexion gradually regained a touch of color, and her breathing became steady and smooth. She took a deep breath, feeling the changes in her body, and her mood brightened. Qing'er said firmly, "Now that we're here, we must strive to adapt and live well." Qing'er looked resolutely into the distance, "I just wonder if this world of Princess Huanzhu is as interesting as the rumors say."

Mianmian said excitedly, "Of course. The story here is full of twists and turns, and the characters are distinct. I'm sure it will bring us many surprises!"

As she was talking, a palace maid came in with a bowl of medicine, and Qing'er regained her thoughts. When the maid brought the medicine to her, she said respectfully, "Princess, this servant will feed you the medicine." Seeing this, she quickly took it. She didn't want to drink this bitter Chinese medicine.

Qing'er: "Go get me some candied fruit."

The maid saluted and said, "Yes, I will go right away."

After watching the maid leave, she quickly poured the medicine from the bowl into the space and then returned the empty bowl to its original location. When the maid returned, she found the bowl empty and immediately handed it to her. She picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, then retreated with the bowl.

Now alone in the room, Qing'er lay in bed, pondering her next move. Faced with so many emotional entanglements, how could she truly accomplish her mission? Furthermore, she felt something was amiss in the world, as if everyone, from the emperor to the common people, were drowning in the mire of love. Why wasn't anyone focused on career advancement? Yes, career! The thought spurred her to sit up, as if suddenly awakened from a near-death state.

Mianmian was frightened by her sudden action. Her hair instantly stood on end. She looked around to make sure nothing was wrong before returning to normal. She asked in confusion, "Qing'er, what happened to you? Why did you suddenly sit up? You're like a zombie. It's really scary."

Qing'er looked ahead, her eyes full of seriousness as she said, "I suddenly thought of what I should do."

Mianmian asked with a puzzled look on her face: "How do you do it?"

Qing'er replied thoughtfully, "I think the reason there are so many twists and turns between them is because they're just idle. Look, when Ah Zheng was the emperor in the mortal world, he didn't have any romantic interests. Instead, he devoted himself to state affairs. He had so much to do that he had no time to spare. In the end, in order to achieve immortality, he actually consumed a poisonous pill and died."

Mianmian fell into deep thought after hearing this, but she still retorted, "But the situation back then was different for Qin Shi Huang. His biggest goal was to unify the Central Plains, and then perfect all the affairs after that. This is completely different from the current situation."

Qing'er disagreed. With a determined look in her eyes, she said resolutely, "There's nothing different. Previously, A Zheng was committed to unifying the Central Plains, but now, we can set our sights on something bigger. While unifying the world may be difficult at the moment, it's not completely impossible."

Mianmian opened her mouth in surprise after hearing this: "No way, are they going to do it on such a large scale? Will it collapse by then?"

Qing'er smiled faintly, her eyes gleaming with confidence. "It can't get any worse than it is now. Think about the Opium War that will break out in less than a hundred years, and the various subsequent incidents that will humiliate the country."

Mianmian frowned and said worriedly, "But, after all, this is a war for human beings. Is it really okay for us to interfere?"

Qing'er's expression grew serious, and she replied earnestly, "Why not? Although we are immortals, don't forget that we belong to China, so of course we stand on China's side. Even if I become a foreigner in the future, it won't change the fact that I am a Chinese god, and I will still stand on China's side."
