The Seven Princesses' Journey Across Time

Xiao Jian jolted awake, drenched in a cold sweat, the dream still vivid in his mind. Could it be that the enemy he'd been searching for for years was actually someone else? And why was his sister in the temple? Was this dream real, or was it simply a recurring theme? He wanted to ask his adoptive father to verify his sister's presence in the temple, but he knew it was just a dream. How could he explain it?

Determined to uncover the truth, Xiao Feng began training in martial arts while cultivating his own confidants through his adoptive father. He immediately tasked them with searching for his sister at the temple and investigating Ma Yu and his son. After considerable effort, they finally gathered evidence of Ma Yu's crimes. However, bringing them to justice proved difficult, as Ma Yu held considerable power within the imperial court. Upon learning the truth, Xiao Jian calmed down and diligently focused on enriching himself, hoping to avenge his parents as soon as possible. When the men who had gone to look for his sister returned, bringing her back with them, Xiao Feng carefully examined her birthmark and confirmed it was indeed his sister.

On the other hand, the Empress Dowager came to see Qing'er the next day with the imperial physician.

The old lady said: "Qing'er, are you feeling better? I'll ask the imperial physician to take a look at you."

After saying this, she nodded to the imperial physician, who stepped forward and took her pulse. The physician's brows were furrowed, but after a moment, they relaxed, and with a look of joy on his face, he saluted and said, "My princess is well again."

Qing'er smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Master Fo. Qing'er is much better now." Seeing this, Master Fo also smiled with relief, "That's good. You, child, must not degrade yourself like this."

Then he turned to the imperial physician and asked, "Imperial physician, please stay in the palace to look after Qing'er for the next few days. If you feel any discomfort again, report it immediately."

The imperial physician replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty."

After the imperial physician left, the old lady held Qing'er's hand and chatted for a while, then told her to rest well before leaving. Although Qing'er was no longer seriously injured, after this incident, she decided to resume her habit of absorbing the first ray of purple air at sunrise tomorrow. She wondered what effect that would have on a mortal body.

The next morning, before daybreak, Qing'er was already up. After washing and dressing, she put on some light clothes and went to the courtyard. The eastern sky was just beginning to turn pale, and the surroundings were peaceful and quiet.

Qing Er stood there quietly, closing her eyes and feeling the sun rising. She took a deep breath of the fresh air, letting her mind gradually calm down.

After a while, the sun finally rose slowly from the horizon. The first wisp of purple air fell on Qing'er, and she immediately felt a warm power permeating her body. The purple air seemed to have magical powers, making her feel extremely comfortable and relaxed.

Qing'er took a deep breath, drawing the purple energy into her body. Using her old method, she slowly guided the purple energy through her body. It flowed along her meridians, nourishing every part of her body.

As the purple energy flowed, Qing'er found her body becoming lighter and lighter, as if injected with new vitality. Her originally pale face gradually became rosy, and her eyes became bright and spirited.

At the same time, Qing'er's mental state also improved significantly. She felt her thinking was clearer and her memory was enhanced. This wonderful change surprised her.

At this moment, Qing'er noticed that there was a thin layer of dirt on her exposed wrist. She gently wiped off the dirt and found that her skin became more delicate and smooth.

Qing'er knew that this was the effect of the purple energy on her body. Although she didn't know what kind of effect this purple energy would have on a mortal body, she could feel the benefits it brought her.

She decided to continue absorbing the purple energy, to see if more miracles would occur over time. On this beautiful morning, Qing'er greeted the new day with confidence, looking forward to future growth and progress. As time passed, Qing'er felt a miraculous change taking place in her body. She discovered that this method not only widened her meridians but also helped the body eliminate impurities, food residue, and toxins accumulated daily. From then on, Qing'er persisted in absorbing the purple energy every day, continuously improving her strength.

Meanwhile, Qing'er requested the Empress Dowager to hire a martial arts instructor for her, citing the need for physical fitness. Considering that she was Prince Yu's only child, the Empress Dowager believed she deserved careful training, and considering her willingness to learn, she was a perfect fit. She readily agreed and instructed the Emperor to find both civil and martial arts instructors. However, Qing'er's meridians were now extensive and strong, giving her a talent for martial arts far superior to that of an average person. Over time, Qing'er's martial arts skills grew increasingly sophisticated, and she was replaced by one martial arts instructor after another. Since Qing'er already possessed a literary talent, she intended to gradually demonstrate this later. After all, sometimes being too intelligent is not good. Eventually, the martial arts instructors felt overwhelmed and unable to continue teaching her more advanced skills, while the literary instructor felt he still had more to teach her.

In the blink of an eye, Qing'er is already ten years old. Over the years, she has not only worked hard to enrich herself, but has also cleverly arranged for her father's trusted aides to engage in business. She has provided them with unique business ideas and valuable recipes and formulas collected throughout the Three Lives World, helping them achieve success and prosperity. Today, Qing'er has amassed a considerable fortune. Furthermore, the reforms during the Qianlong reign spurred a flourishing commercial economy, and many ordinary people, during their spare time from farming, have begun engaging in small businesses to supplement their family income.

Xiao Feng, on the other hand, intensified his training in secret, hoping to become a peerless master and avenge his parents. Now, he has also set out on the Jianghu, secretly planning how to expose the crimes of Mayu and his son.

At this moment, Qing'er began to ponder, and soon formed her own plan. While she possessed wealth, power remained elusive. However, as a princess in the bustling capital, finding an opportunity to gain power was practically impossible. After much deliberation, she suddenly had an idea: to fight on the battlefield and secure power through military exploits.

Having made up her mind, Qing'er went to see the old Buddha without hesitation. After meeting the old Buddha, she held his hand tightly, and said with a firm and sincere look: "Old Buddha, Qing'er has been practicing martial arts since she was a child. Today, I am considered a master in martial arts. I am only ten years old now. If I can train on the battlefield for a few more years, I believe that I will definitely become a hero in expanding the country's territory. I also long to go to the battlefield like my father, bravely kill the enemy, and contribute my heart and soul to our country. Only then will my martial arts skills be worthwhile!"
