The Seven Princesses' Journey Across Time

Then he eagerly turned the pages, completely absorbed in the world within. Qing'er quietly gazed at his focused expression, a subtle flicker of admiration in her eyes. Then, she turned back to her courtyard and prepared to wash up.

Soon, Qing'er returned, holding a thick stack of various books. Fulongan immediately stood up to greet her. They sat at the table and began to leaf through the military manuals.

Time passed quietly, and they were immersed in the world of books, sometimes discussing military strategies, sometimes exchanging their own opinions. Before they knew it, the sun gradually rose higher, casting a warm light through the window.

Fu Longan looked up at the sky and said reluctantly, "It's getting late, I should go back." He put down the book in his hand, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

Qing'er nodded and said softly, "Okay, take this military book back and read it first, and then give it to me after you're done." She handed the stack of military books to Fulongan, her eyes full of trust.

Fu Longan took the military manual and carefully held it in his arms. He looked at Qing'er gratefully and said, "Thank you, these military manuals are very precious to me." Then he slowly stood up and prepared to leave.

Qing'er walked him to the door and said with a smile, "You're welcome. Your family has been generals for generations. I hope this will be of some help to you."

Fulongan nodded, then turned and left. Qing'er stood by the window, gazing into the distance, with a thousand emotions in her heart.

She knew the road to global conquest would be long and arduous, but she believed that with perseverance, she would one day achieve her dream. She took a deep breath, then returned to her desk and continued studying military manuals. She understood that only by continuous learning could she better prepare for future challenges.

Later, Ertai heard about Fulongan going to see Qing'er. He was afraid that Qing'er had forgotten the agreement with him, so he often went to see her. Then Fulongan followed suit. Qing'er felt that the two of them were a little idle, so she took them to the military camp and asked the deputy general to treat them well and train them together with the soldiers. They didn't need any special care, but they could practice more appropriately. Then she left, leaving them in the military camp to practice well so that they could become talents as soon as possible.

The deputy general looked at the two young masters and thought that they must have offended their general, otherwise why would he allow them to have extra training? You know, even in normal training, most of those guys ended up lying down, not to mention these two who had never participated in their training.

She had just finished dealing with the two men when the housekeeper came to report that the Fifth Prince had come to visit with Fu Erkang and two girls. Qing'er knew who they were the moment she heard them.

Qing'er: "Take them to the reception room. I will be there in a moment."

Butler: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Before Qing'er stepped into the reception room, she heard Xiaoyanzi's unique and penetrating voice: "Wow! It turns out that Prince Yu's mansion is so big! Is it possible that the prince is the only one living here? Then has he not married yet?" Qing'er raised the corners of her mouth slightly when she heard this, and walked slowly into the room with a smile.

"It seems that Xiaoyanzi is very interested in my private affairs!" Qing'er teased as she stepped into the living room.

When everyone saw Qing'er arrive, they all stood up and saluted, shouting in unison, "Greetings, Prince Yu!" Qing'er responded with a smile and nodded to the Fifth Prince as a greeting. Then, she gracefully walked to the seat above and sat down gently.

Qing'er looked at everyone, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes: "No need to be polite, please sit down! You came to see me today, is there something important? You can just say it directly." After that, her eyes swept over everyone, and finally fell on the Fifth Prince.

The Fifth Prince met Qing'er's gaze, smiled slightly, stood up and said, "We have heard that Your Highness is a master of martial arts and extraordinary skills, so we have come here to seek your advice."

Qing'er secretly laughed at this group of love-sick people. She couldn't help but ponder. How could she handle this situation without hurting them and still resolve the issue? Either sever their ties completely, or find a way for them to be together without any obstacles. Seeing how eager they were to try, perhaps she could just give it a cold shoulder and see how things went.

So, Qing'er smiled confidently and replied, "Oh? In that case, I'm happy to accompany you. But..." She paused deliberately, "Are you all here to challenge me?"

Xiaoyanzi immediately jumped out and said, "Ziwei is not, the three of us are."

Qing'er raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said with a smile: "In that case, let's go to the martial arts training ground." After that, she turned around and led a group of people to the martial arts training ground.

When they arrived at the martial arts training ground, Qing'er drew a soft sword with a cold glow from her waist and said to the three people, "You can choose any weapon over there." Everyone chose the weapon that suited them. Xiaoyanzi chose a whip, the Fifth Prince and Erkang both chose long swords, and Ziwei stood quietly at a distance from them to watch the battle.

Xiaoyanzi rushed towards Qing'er first, whip in her hand waving like a gust of wind, and swung it fiercely at Qing'er. However, Qing'er simply turned sideways, easily dodging the blow. Then, she quickly turned back and wrapped her soft sword around the whip, pulling hard, Xiaoyanzi immediately lost her balance and fell forward.

Seeing this, the Fifth Prince and Erkang were terrified. They quickly drew their swords and stabbed at Qing'er, trying to force her to let go. However, Qing'er was agile and lightly dodged their attacks. Qing'er spun around to avoid the attack and kicked Xiaoyanzi away. Xiaoyanzi fell to the ground, grimacing in pain.

Ziwei paled with fear at the sight of this, and hurried over to check on Xiaoyanzi's injuries. Qing'er looked at the three of them, secretly shaking her head. These people's martial arts were truly poor, practically just fancy moves. However, she didn't want to actually hurt them, so she sheathed her sword and said calmly, "Do you want to continue?"

The Fifth Prince and Erkang looked at each other, and together they attacked Qing'er. One of them had a sharp sword technique, while the other had a flexible one.

Qing'er dodged their attack with a flash of her body. Using her soft sword as a medium, she channeled her inner strength to send Fifth Prince and Erkang back a few steps.

After the Fifth Prince and Erkang regained their balance, they teamed up to attack Qing'er again. This time, Qing'er no longer dodged, but engaged them fiercely with all her might.

For a moment, swords flashed and whips flew, and it was difficult to determine the winner. However, Qing'er, after all, was a skilled martial artist and gradually gained the upper hand.

At this moment, Xiaoyanzi got up from the ground and joined the battle. She brandished her whip and coordinated with the attacks of the Fifth Prince and Erkang, leaving Qing'er a little overwhelmed for a moment.
