The Seven Princesses' Journey Across Time

Qing'er had an idea and decided to test whether Heshen had the ability to govern the country.

So, she smiled and asked, "If you could become an official one day, how would you govern this country?"

Heshen pondered for a moment, then replied earnestly, "First, I would prioritize education, ensuring that more people have the opportunity to receive an education and become literate. Second, I would pay attention to the people's living conditions and take measures to alleviate their burdens. Finally, I would strengthen national defense and safeguard national security."

Qing'er nodded in satisfaction, a hint of a smile playing on her lips. She saw a desire and determination in Heshen's eyes, a longing for and pursuit of the future. She couldn't help but think: This child is destined to be extraordinary! So, Qing'er decided to give Heshen a chance to see if he had enough potential and ability.

She looked at Heshen and asked softly, "Heshen, are you willing to learn from me? I can teach you a lot of knowledge and skills to help you realize your dream."

Heshen was overwhelmed with emotion upon hearing this. He knew this was a rare opportunity, a chance to change his destiny. He replied without hesitation, "I do, Your Highness! I will study hard and live up to your expectations."

His eyes were firm and sincere, as if expressing his deepest desire to Qing'er. Qing'er smiled slightly and nodded in agreement. From then on, He Kun became Qing'er's follower, learning various knowledge and skills from her. He eagerly absorbed new knowledge every day, constantly enriching himself. Qing'er also provided him with many practical opportunities and challenges, allowing him to continuously improve his abilities through actual operations. Over time, He Kun gradually revealed his astonishing talent. With his wisdom and hard work, he helped Qing'er solve many difficult problems, winning the praise and respect of everyone. At the same time, he also established a deep friendship with Qing'er and became her most trusted and capable assistant.

Fulongan heard that someone had brought gifts to Qing'er, and that Qing'er had been out with him for most of the day. He quickly sent someone to investigate while he himself thought about what excuse he could find to find her. Because Qing'er and Ertai had gone out openly, it was easy to investigate.

After a while, the person who had gone out returned and told him what had happened. Hearing this news, he suddenly understood. "Right, I'm playing to her preferences." She had been on the battlefield all those years, so her mind must have been completely focused on it. No matter how many excuses he made, they wouldn't be as good as this one. So he took the strategic research he had written and was about to go find her. But just as he left, he realized it was already evening. He retreated to his room, checked his report again, and had someone find his clothes. He picked out a purple dress. He remembered that he had worn purple that night, so he must have liked the color.

After changing his clothes, Fulongan carefully examined himself in the bronze mirror. He felt refreshed and nodded with satisfaction. He carefully removed his clothes, folded them neatly, and climbed into bed to rest. Lying in bed, he thought about getting up early the next day and rushing to Qing'er's place.

The next morning, just after sunrise, Fu Longan quickly rose, washed briefly, and rushed to Prince Yu's mansion, where Qing'er was staying. When he arrived at the palace gate, it was closed, so he knocked. A servant soon opened it. Seeing Fu Longan, he respectfully invited him in and told him that Qing'er was practicing martial arts in the training grounds.

Fu Longan crossed the courtyard and arrived at the training grounds, where he spotted Qing'er from afar. The morning sun shone on the grounds, illuminating her slender figure. She wore a black training uniform, with a golden belt around her waist, adding to her heroic presence. She held a sharp sword, its blade gleaming with a cold light. Her gaze was focused and determined, as if the surroundings were oblivious. With a light leap, she landed gracefully in the center of the training grounds. Then, she began to wield her sword, her movements fierce and powerful, like a hurricane. Her movements were fluid and powerful, each one imbued with deep internal energy. The sword in her hand was like a nimble dragon, soaring up and down in a dazzling display. Fu Longan stood quietly on the sidelines, admiring Qing'er's martial arts. He was impressed by her superb swordsmanship, and at the same time, he sensed the confidence and tenacity that emanated from her.

Her sword's momentum grew faster and faster, like a raging storm, stirring the air around her into invisible streams of air. Her figure darted across the training grounds like a ghost, leaving only a blurry afterimage. Fu Longan, already captivated by her exquisite swordsmanship, watched in awe, his eyes filled with admiration and wonder.

As she practiced swordplay, sweat dripped from her forehead like raindrops, yet she showed no sign of stopping. Her eyes revealed a persistence and tenacity, as if she were pursuing a higher realm. Every movement, every swing of the sword, was laced with endless power and determination.

Finally, she stopped her movements and sheathed her sword. She took a deep breath, calming herself. At that moment, enthusiastic applause erupted from the training grounds. Qing'er turned around and saw Fu Longan standing not far away. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but it quickly faded. Then she smiled slightly and nodded to him.

Fulongan smiled gracefully as he approached Qing'er. He gently handed over the strategic research in his hand and said gently, "This is some analysis and research I've done on the battle situations you mentioned earlier. I hope you'll be willing to give me some valuable advice."

Qing'er nodded slightly, reaching out her slender hand to take the document, and began to leaf through it carefully. As she read deeper, her eyes grew more astonished, and she couldn't help but sigh in admiration. This research report not only had unique perspectives but also clear and coherent thinking. It offered profound insights into military strategy and was extremely valuable as a reference.

Qing'er couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "I never thought you had such profound attainments and unique insights in military strategy. Please wait a moment, I'll be back soon."

After saying that, Qing'er turned and walked into the room, quickly took out a thick military book, returned to Fulongan, and solemnly handed it to him, saying, "This book is the result of my years of research on military strategy. I believe it will be inspiring and helpful to you. You can take a look first. I need to go wash up first."

Fu Longan accepted the military manual with great joy, as if he had found a rare treasure, his eyes gleaming with excitement. He respectfully thanked Qing'er, "Thank you, Your Highness!"
