The Seven Princesses' Journey Across Time

One day, Xiao Jian stumbles upon Qing'er's tireless efforts to improve the lives of ordinary people, working tirelessly day and night. This deeply moves him, and he decides to support her with concrete actions.

He then uses his intelligence and wisdom to help Qing'er promote reforms and address livelihood issues. Over time, Qing'er gradually changes her view of Xiao Jian, beginning to appreciate his persistence and kindness. Even so, Qing'er is reluctant to accept Xiao Jian's love. However, Xiao Jian remains undeterred, convinced that with perseverance, he will one day win Qing'er's heart.

......

With Qing'er's successful ascension to the throne, and the now stable domestic situation and near-absence of war, the Fifth Prince and Erkang considered learning other skills alongside Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi. They believed that even if war broke out in the future, they would still have generals like Fulongan and Ertai to respond, and they could return to the battlefield if needed. For now, they preferred the company of their loved ones.

Qing'er believes that since Yongqi is no longer bound by his status, he and Xiaoyanzi should have a happy ending.

Thus, the Fifth Prince, Erkang, Ziwei, and Xiaoyanzi began learning various new skills together. They read and wrote, learned to paint, and practiced swordsmanship, their days filled with laughter and joy. During their studies, Xiaoyanzi gradually developed a fondness for this man who always cared about her, and the Fifth Prince's relationship with Xiaoyanzi grew deeper. Meanwhile, the bond between Erkang and Ziwei also grew stronger.

On this day, the four of them decided to go out of the palace to enjoy the beauty of the outside world. After leaving the palace, they seemed to have entered another world, and everything became so fresh and interesting.

On the street, they encountered all kinds of people and things: jugglers performed thrilling shows that drew cheers from the crowd, street artists created exquisite paintings that made people stop and admire, and small vendors hawked all kinds of novel gadgets that dazzled the eyes.

The four of them walked and played, thoroughly enjoying this rare free time. Along the way, they sampled a variety of delicious dishes, from traditional cakes to local snacks, each of which they raved about. This experience outside the palace not only allowed them to experience the richness of life outside the palace, but also made them cherish their friendship even more.

On the way back to the palace, Xiaoyanzi suddenly saw a stall selling candied haws (tanghulu). She excitedly ran over and bought a bunch. Seeing this, the Fifth Prince smiled, paid for it, and handed the candied haws to Xiaoyanzi. "Thank you, Yongqi!" Xiaoyanzi happily took a bite, her face filled with a happy smile.

Ziwei and Erkang held hands, admiring the scenery on the street while chatting. Their topics revolved around their future lives, full of longing for happiness.

Qing'er stood quietly by a restaurant window, watching them together, a warm feeling welling up in her heart. "I really hope things between them can stay like this forever..." Qing'er whispered.

Meanwhile, upon realizing he was nearing the age of cultivation, Qianlong moved to the Old Summer Palace and began a life of self-cultivation. He spent his days reading classics, practicing calligraphy, and playing chess, striving to improve his cultivation and state of mind. He believed that only through inner peace and the accumulation of wisdom could he achieve the highest level of cultivation.

......

Because Qing'er had placed that spiritual vein beneath the capital, the capital's spiritual energy became richer than elsewhere. During this time, the people of the capital gradually noticed some strange changes. Those who were previously weak were surprised to find that their health had improved significantly.

At the same time, the warriors also felt a noticeable improvement in their own skills. This change sparked widespread interest and curiosity, with everyone speculating on the underlying reasons. Some firmly believed that the emperor's benevolence had moved the heavens, thus bestowing blessings upon them; others believed that a mysterious force beneath the capital was quietly influencing the entire city.

As time passed, more and more people began to flock to the capital, eager to be immersed in this magical aura. As a result, the capital became extremely bustling and prosperous, and all kinds of heroes and scholars gathered here, forming a unique landscape.

Qing'er knew full well that all this was due to the existence of her spiritual vein, but now she could begin cultivation. Although she couldn't cultivate herself, she realized now was the time to cultivate talent for future needs. After searching the space, she found a spiritual instrument she had been collecting that could measure spiritual roots and talents. She planned to use this tool to select and cultivate talented individuals.

After careful consideration, Qing'er decided to establish an academy in the capital, specifically for children with spiritual roots. This academy would not only impart martial arts knowledge, but also focus on cultivating students' moral character and spirituality. When the academy's enrollment announcement was released, it immediately sparked a huge response. Many people enthusiastically applied, eager to become a member of this academy.

Qing'er personally selected a group of outstanding teachers from various fields, each with their own unique expertise. At the academy's opening ceremony, Qing'er delivered a passionate speech, encouraging students to study hard, continuously improve their abilities, and contribute to the prosperity and development of the country.

Over time, the academy's reputation spread. More and more parents sent their children to the academy, convinced it offered the best educational resources and environment. She would secretly teach the children the cultivation techniques she had accumulated over the years. She hoped the children would achieve well-rounded growth here, achieving not only academic success but also spiritual nourishment.

Qing'er always paid close attention to the development of the college, frequently visiting campus to interact with faculty and students. She listened to students' concerns, understood their challenges and needs, and offered guidance and support. Under her care, students felt warmth and strength, striving to learn and achieve excellence. The college's influence gradually expanded, and this positive atmosphere permeated the entire capital.

People are full of anticipation for the future, believing that by cultivating more outstanding talents, they can propel the country toward prosperity and strength. At the same time, Qing'er knows that this is just the beginning, and countless challenges lie ahead. However, she firmly believes that with unremitting efforts, she will achieve her goals. As time goes by, the academy continues to grow and develop, and more and more talents emerge.
