Chapter 411 Princess Jing 2

Looking at the plate full of his favorite food in front of him, Xuanyuan Changxu had no appetite at all. He just wished that the meal could end sooner.

But things don't always go as we wish.

I saw that the meal was being eaten very slowly. It was past noon, but my mother, who was always careful and could always keenly detect my mood changes, turned a blind eye to my anxiety. She chewed the noodles slowly and put food on the plate in front of me like she did when I was a child. She kept whispering to me to eat more.

Not only that, she could even talk about the origin of a dish, and the times when he ate it as a child, and even bring up countless old memories. If those old memories were just his mother's occasional sentimental memories, then he might still be moved.

But she had mentioned those words so many times before that he didn't know how many times. She would say them almost every time he stayed for a meal. He could even recite them by heart.

Xuanyuan Changxu sighed again in his heart, looking at the picture helplessly as an hour had already passed and Concubine Jing had only taken two spoonfuls of the green rice porridge in the palm-sized golden bowl in her hand.

The cold green rice porridge in her bowl had been taken away and replaced countless times by the palace maids. The food on the table had not cooled down yet because there were candles burning under each dish. If he didn't say anything, this meal might take more than an hour. Xuanyuan Changxu finally couldn't stand it anymore and stood up to say, "Mother, I'm full. Since you don't have anything else to say, please let me take my leave first."

Having said that, Xuanyuan Changxu stood up and left without caring about Concubine Jing's repeated attempts to keep him.

This time he was determined to leave.

Watching Xuanyuan Changxu stride out and disappear without a trace in the blink of an eye, Concubine Jing became so angry that her face turned pale, and she suddenly smashed the golden bowl in her hand onto the bowls and plates of food on the table.

The anger in her heart after losing her job not only did not subside, but it became more and more intense.

She cursed in a voice so low that only the two or three people serving her could vaguely hear it: "Fox bitch." Then she stretched out her hand and overturned the dining table, then turned around and went back to the bedroom angrily.

Seeing that Concubine Jing had returned to the bedroom, no one dared to follow her in. Only Nanny Chen, who had served her since she was a child, followed her in.

Seeing that although Concubine Jing was no longer venting her anger with things, she was still full of anger, Nanny Chen hurried forward to comfort her, saying, "Your Majesty, please don't be really angry. It's not worth it to hurt your health.

"If I were to say, our Eleventh Prince is already quite filial. Isn't she just a woman? She is a heartless woman who can't see the good in our Eleventh Prince. Why are you angry with her?"

Thinking of the fact that the second cousin of the Kuang family, Mu Qingyin, looked down on the eleventh prince and refused the opportunity to marry into the royal family, Nanny Chen couldn't help but curl her lips in her heart, secretly laughing at her, maybe she was a fool who only knew how to practice and became stupid because of her practice?

A woman with no spiritual roots or poor spiritual roots, the highest she could achieve through cultivation was only that of a high-level warrior. She didn't know that if she could marry the eleventh prince, she might be able to go to the cultivation world with the help of the eleventh prince.

Unfortunately, if she knew what she had missed out on by missing out on the Eleventh Prince, she would definitely regret it in the future.

Chapter 412 Idea

Nanny Chen secretly laughed at Mu Qingyin for being stupid in her heart, but Concubine Jing was not comforted by her words. Instead, her mood became even worse.

Instead, there was a fierce look in her eyes, and Concubine Jing cursed ferociously: "Why does she look down on my Xu'er? What's wrong with my Xu'er? Is it her turn, someone who is not even worthy of Xu'er, to look down on him?"

Nanny Chen: "."

She opened her mouth and wanted to say: My queen, since you don't like her. Even though she saved the eleventh prince, she still disliked and hated her for no reason just because she heard that the eleventh prince liked her.

If that's the case, shouldn't you be glad that the other party doesn't like the eleventh prince? Why are you angry about it?

Nanny Chen lowered her head, not daring to reveal even a hint of the shock, confusion, and bewilderment on her face.

After she tried her best to adjust her expression, she said with the same angry expression as Concubine Jing: "Your Majesty, he is a shameless person. It is not worth it for you to get angry over such a person."

"That's right, she is a shameless bitch and a vixen. Xu'er has been like a lost soul for her these days, constantly sending so many good things to a minister's home. Now he even has someone take her to the third floor of the south building of Changsheng Tower, the Tianzi Room."

Thinking that the No. 1 Room on the third floor of the South Building of Changsheng Tower was a place that even she herself was not allowed to set foot in, Mu Qingyin went there anyway, and Xu'er generously treated her to spiritual tea and spiritual fruit.

And the extremely precious spiritual tea and spiritual fruit were also things that she had not been able to enjoy as she wished. Xu'er actually gave some extra to Mu Qingyin instead of using them to honor herself, which made Concubine Jing's dissatisfaction even worse.

She was so angry at the moment that she didn't even remember that the reason why she couldn't use more of the spiritual tea and spiritual fruit was not because her son Xuanyuan Changxu was reluctant to give them to her.

But since she had only relied on the red thorn grass to improve her cultivation to the initial stage of a low-level warrior, she simply could not withstand the huge energy contained in too much spiritual tea and spiritual fruit.

The thing is that she simply cannot enjoy it as she pleases, otherwise it will do more harm than good.

Concubine Jing had never thought of this. She slapped her palm on the table, sneered a few times, and said to Nanny Chen in a low voice, "Go now and summon her to the palace.

I want to see with my own eyes what she looks like. How could she be able to capture my Xu'er's heart so easily? "

"."

After a moment of silence, Nanny Chen also advised in a low voice: "Madam, it's not impossible for you to summon her to the palace. But it can't be today.

Not to mention that it was already late today, unless it was a major event, there was no rule to summon people to the palace at this time. For example, today, she might still be in Changsheng Tower.

If you make this announcement, wouldn't it make the Eleventh Prince realize that you had intentionally prevented him from seeing her? You can imagine how smart the Eleventh Prince is. If he were to become suspicious,

He hadn't succeeded in getting his hands on Mu Qingyin yet, and she was still new to him. You say, if you openly attack her now, wouldn't that hurt the mother-son relationship between you two? If we want to attack her, we have to do it in secret, so that she can't say anything about her suffering, and can only endure her grievances. Wouldn't that make people feel more refreshed?"

He sighed, thinking about Concubine Jing's current situation. It can be said that she was able to gain a foothold in this most prosperous place in the world entirely because of the Eleventh Prince.

If her own queen made the eleventh prince unhappy, the mother-son relationship would be gone. That would be a fatal blow to her own queen. She would also be implicated.

So without thinking, Nanny Chen gave her an idea to secretly punish Mu Qingyin and make her suffer in silence.

Chapter 413 Missing You Is a Big Thing

Princess Jing: ".You are right."

She swayed, her face turning paler, and after a long while she reluctantly nodded, gritting her teeth and saying, "I still have to put up with her for a few more days. Not only can I not go to summon her today, I'd better avoid her tomorrow and the day after tomorrow as well."

"My queen——"

Looking at Concubine Jing's shaky appearance with heartache, Nanny Chen said with tears in her eyes: "You must take care of yourself. You make me so sad that I don't know what to do.

Now we have finally endured these twenty years, and the eleventh prince is about to make it. What if you get angry at this time?"

"Yes, you are right. I have survived these twenty years. For so many years, I have been here like a widow. It is so hard to see that he still has only Xu'er as his biological child.

It seems that it is time for both Xu'er and I to come to the fore, and I absolutely cannot let anyone else make me angry at this time."

Concubine Jing was startled by what Nanny Chen said and she pinched Nanny Chen's arm tightly with such force that Nanny Chen felt like her bones were about to break, but she didn't dare to make a sound.

He just endured it and waited quietly for Concubine Jing's emotions to pass.

Feeling the pain getting worse and worse, and her arm no longer feeling like her own, Nanny Chen couldn't help but regret it.

She regretted so much that she wanted to slap herself in the face: What was she doing before? This was not the first or second time that Concubine Jing had behaved like this. Who did she want to hate, who did she get angry about, and why did she get so angry that it had nothing to do with her? Why did she need to talk too much and comfort her?

Now, this comfort has cost me again, right? Nanny Chen was full of complaints, and she couldn't help but vent her anger on Mu Qingyin. When she went to the Kuang family again a few days later to replace Concubine Jing to summon Mu Qingyin to the palace, she couldn't help but express her resentment and vent her anger on the Kuang family. This is a story for later.

It is said that Xuanyuan Changxu finally left the palace, and rode his horse and whipped it all the way, and finally caught up with Mu Qingyin just when her patience was running out and she was about to leave.

"Kon-ne—"

When he saw Mu Qingyin, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, calling out with a trembling voice, he was filled with excitement and joy. He then realized how fast his heart was beating.

"You're finally back? Tell me, what's the important matter you want to talk to me about?"

Compared to Xuanyuan Changxu's excitement, Mu Qingyin was also happy but much calmer when she saw him. After having a delicious meal, she had some resentment for waiting for Xuanyuan Changxu for a long time, but this resentment was not heavy, just a little bit. Most of it disappeared when she saw him.

".Let's go inside and talk."

Xuanyuan Changxu paused for a moment, waved away the strangers, and dragged Mu Qingyin to his own secret realm without saying anything. Then he smiled with a serious face: "It's nothing serious, I just missed you."

Xuanyuan Changxu approached with a thick face, looking at Mu Qingyin with some trepidation, and said with a nervous smile: "But thinking of you is a big deal to me, a very big deal."

"Hmph, where did you learn to be so smooth-talking?" Glancing at Xuanyuan Changxu, Mu Qingyin pushed him away with a blush and embarrassment, and snorted to hide her discomfort.

Not angry - Xuanyuan Changxu's face instantly became as bright as a blooming spring flower, and he smiled like a fool, touching his nose and defending himself: "I'm not being glib, I just can't help it from the bottom of my heart."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 414 Surprise

This seems less and less likely.

"."

Mu Qingyin casually threw the Qiankun bag that Xuanyuan Changxu had given her before, and rolled her eyes at him: "Here are the pills and talismans I just refined. I have written down the usage, you can take a look at it yourself when you have time."

"Okay." Holding the Qiankun bag, Xuanyuan Changxu was not in a hurry to see what was inside. Instead, he stared at Mu Qingyin greedily and responded.

Mu Qingyin: "."

She sighed, and took out a fat stone rat from the animal ring that she had prepared long ago. It had already eaten the wisdom pill and the animal-benefiting pill, but had not yet been recognized by its master. She waved it in front of him and said, "Do you recognize this?"

"Squeak, squeak, squeak—"

In coordination with Mu Qingyin, the skin on its neck was pulled and it shook. It was very uncomfortable but did not even dare to protest. It looked at Xuanyuan Changxu with its small green bean eyes with a seductive look on its face and called out expectantly.

"This? This is a stone rat? What did you catch it for?"

After looking for several times, Xuanyuan Changxu dared to confirm that the obedient little animal being carried by Mu Qingyin was actually a stone rat that was much larger than the usual ones.

He was full of surprise, seeing that the stone rat, which should have been ferocious and would bite anyone it saw, could be tamed so obediently. He couldn't help but ask, "Such a big stone rat, could it be the rat king?"

"That's about right."

Mu Qingyin casually threw the Stone Rat to Xuanyuan Changxu, and then released the thirty Stone Rat in the beast ring in her hand. Each of them was the same size as the Stone Rat that Xuanyuan Changxu subconsciously caught in his hand.

"So many? And they are all so obedient? Could it be that they have all become spirits?"

He looked at the rock rat in his hand, and then at the other rock rats surrounding him, tilting their heads and squeaking around him.

Seeing that they were obviously trying hard to please him, Xuanyuan Changxu's mood could only be described as "weird".

"They all took the Enlightenment Pill and the Beast Benefit Pill."

Mu Qingyin smiled slightly and said, "Who told you not to look at the pills I gave you before? The wisdom-enhancing pills are specially designed for ordinary wild beasts and demon beasts. They can open their wisdom and are like children of five or six years old, or even more than ten years old.

The Yishou Pill is specially given to them, and it is another kind of pill that can help them advance. With these two kinds of pills, any monster or wild beast that is not stupid will be willing to sign a master-servant contract with us. "

"Contract wearing stone rat?"

Putting down the stone rat in his hand, Xuanyuan Changxu looked at Mu Qingyin with a strange expression and asked.

He naturally knew about contracted monsters, which were preferred by cultivators in the world of cultivation. Because with the help of monsters, they could be a helper when fighting against enemies. Moreover, monsters could be used as mounts and as a means of transportation.

However, it is also well known that contracting a monster costs spirit stones.

If you want to make a monster, especially a high-level monster, to willingly sign a contract with you, you need not only chance but also wisdom-enhancing pills and beast-benefiting pills.

Both of them are not cheap, especially the spiritual stones.

Especially the beneficial beast pills, which need to be supplied to the contracted monster beasts for a long time. And when the monster beasts advance to a higher level, the beneficial beast pills will not be enough to satisfy them, and they will need the hundred beast pills, thousand beast pills and ten thousand beast pills later.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 415: The Protest of the Stone Rat

The Beast Benefit Pills were not cheap, and the Hundred Beast Pills, Thousand Beast Pills, and Ten Thousand Beast Pills were even more expensive. Therefore, if one was not a cultivator with a deep fortune, they really could not afford it.

Therefore, usually even if cultivators want to contract a monster beast, they will only contract a high-level monster beast.

Of course, the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect were an exception, because it was said that each Beast Taming Sect had its own alchemist. The main skill of those alchemists was to refine the Wisdom Enlightenment Pill, the Beast Benefiting Pill, the Hundred Beasts Pill, the Thousand Beasts Pill, and the Ten Thousand Beasts Pill.

It is said that those pills are extremely difficult to refine. He really didn't expect that Mu Qingyin could actually refine them. Could she be an alchemist? Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Changxu looked at Mu Qingyin again, and the look in his eyes gradually changed from weird to puzzled.

"Haha, are you looking down on the Stone Rat?" Mu Qingyin asked seriously, trying not to laugh as she looked at the strange expression on Xuanyuan Changxu's face.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak—"

"Squeak, squeak, squeak—"

Hearing this, the stone rats surrounding Xuanyuan Changxu also screamed in protest. The protests of thirty stone rats were still spectacular, and the sound combined was enough to give people a headache.

"Shut up, everyone." Mu Qingyin was extremely annoyed and shouted at the rock rats. Immediately, the rock rats that were originally screaming and jumping up and down stretched out their claws to cover their mouths, and they were as quiet as chickens.

Xuanyuan Changxu: ". Is this enlightenment pill really so amazing?"

Mu Qingyin: "Wrong, it's because the Yishou Pill is more attractive."

They both looked at each other and laughed.

"You probably don't know that these stone rats are quite useful. In addition to the well-known uses of their fur, meat, and bones that can be made into ointments, you probably don't know that the excrement of these stone rats is stone essence."

After briefly explaining the use of the stone rats and the use of the stone spirits, Mu Qingyin smiled and said, "It is because you have this secret realm that you can raise a large number of them that I gave you a few.

You don't have to worry about the Enlightenment Pills and the Beast Benefit Pills. I can make them without spending much. As for the Hundred Beasts Pills, Thousand Beasts Pills, and Ten Thousand Beasts Pills, you don't have to worry about them now. I don't believe that I won't be able to make them when I need them."

"I'm not worried. I'll listen to you. I'll contract them now."

After listening to Mu Qingyin's explanation of the uses of stone essence, Xuanyuan Changxu's eyes suddenly lit up.

After hearing that Mu Qingyin was not only able to refine the Yishou Pill, but was also confident in refining the Hundred Beasts Pill, Thousand Beasts Pill, and Ten Thousand Beasts Pill, he immediately had no doubts about contracting these stone rats.

He was impatient and wanted to make contracts with those stone rats immediately. Seeing this, Mu Qingyin hurriedly stopped him: "Hey, you don't want to make contracts with so many stone rats, do you?"

Uh--Is there something wrong with this? Xuanyuan Changxu looked at Mu Qingyin in confusion, with question marks in his eyes.

Of course not.

Mu Qingyin almost gave him a useless look and said unhappily, "Stone-piercing rats reproduce very quickly. A group can easily have tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of them. With so many Stone-piercing rats, are you going to sign contracts with them one by one in the future?"

"How is that possible?"

I shuddered. Even if cultivators could kill monsters without restrictions, what about hundreds of thousands of them?

Thinking that even with the support of the elixirs refined by Mu Qingyin, he still could not afford to support so many contracted monsters, Xuanyuan Changxu hurriedly shook his head.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 416 Different

"So, you just need to contract one of these monsters." Mu Qingyin said with a smile, "As for the others, even if you don't have this secret realm, you can still control them by restricting them through the monster you contracted."

"Impose a ban?" Xuanyuan Changxu pricked up his ears and looked at Mu Qingyin with interest.

"Yes, impose a ban."

After explaining the method of placing restrictions on the entire tribe of stone rats through the king of stone rats, Mu Qingyin said, "Digging holes is the nature of these stone rats.

This is your secret place, although they will be naturally afraid of you after entering here, but if you don't put a ban on them in advance, I'm afraid that although they dare not hurt you, they will still act according to their nature.

Don't let them destroy your secret realm so that it is full of holes and kill all the monsters inside, otherwise it will be too late to save it.

So not only do you have to restrict them so that they can only stay in the fixed place you have marked out for them, but you also cannot let them eat the monsters in your secret realm."

"Okay, I understand."

After memorizing the method of placing restrictions on these Stone Rat, Xuanyuan Changxu directly summoned the Stone Rat that Mu Qingyin had previously brought to him and quickly made a contract with it. He then used it to place restrictions on the other Stone Rat one by one.

It was over. Seeing the time passing outside, Xuanyuan Changxu had no choice but to send Mu Qingyin out of the secret realm, even though he was reluctant.

He made an appointment with her to meet up every month, and gave her a special token that allowed her to come to the third floor of Changsheng Building at any time. Only then did Xuanyuan Changxu say goodbye to her reluctantly.

It wasn't that Xuanyuan Changxu didn't want to personally send her downstairs, nor was it that he didn't want to personally send her back to the Kuang family. It was that Mu Qingyin simply wouldn't let him.

Mu Qingyin was already conspicuous enough to be on the third floor of Changsheng Building, where ordinary people could not come. If she let Xuanyuan Changxu send her off, wouldn't it be like telling the world that she and Xuanyuan Changxu were close friends? Mu Qingyin's main reason for interacting with Xuanyuan Changxu was because of her friendship with Ah Sha in her previous life. Although the two were the same person, nothing had happened in this life after all.

So even though she knew rationally that the two were the same person, in her heart, she couldn't help but always distinguish between the current Xuanyuan Changxu and Asha.

There is no doubt that the two of them have different positions in her heart.

If it was Ah Sha, she thought she wouldn't mind telling the world that Ah Sha and she had a special relationship. But Xuanyuan Changxu. Mu Qingyin shook her head in her heart, forget it, they should just keep their relationship private, and don't get involved too much in public, so as not to attract criticism and make her grandfather unhappy.

Thinking of how her grandfather looked down on Prince Xuanyuan Changxu's status and how he never looked at him well whenever he came to visit, Mu Qingyin couldn't help but want to laugh.

After meeting Xuanyuan Changxu in Changsheng Building, Mu Qingyin returned to the training room soon after returning. She stayed in the training room for fourteen or fifteen days for the next half month. In fact, she was practicing in her own mustard seed space.

However, Mu Qingyin's training room is not in her own Fuyun Garden, but in a courtyard that Kuang Zhihai and his family secretly renovated.

The reason is simple, of course, because there is a spirit gathering array set up by Mu Qingyin herself.

There are many members in the Kuang family, and their house in the capital is not big, so the Kuang family also rebuilt a large training ground on a farm on the outskirts of the city.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 417 Transformation

However, unlike the Kuang family's mansion in the capital, which is specially provided for the direct descendants of the Kuang family to practice, each person has a separate training room. The difference is that the large training ground located on the farm for the Kuang family members to practice has no partitions.

But even without partitions, after experiencing the difference between practicing in a place with a spirit gathering array and without one, the members of the Kuang family no longer minded practicing in one place.

So whenever they had nothing to do, they would be very keen to run to the village and stay there for many days.

Of course, long before the construction of the large training ground, Kuang Zhihai had thought about the problem that if the tribesmen gathered in that village, it would attract attention, so he dug a secret passage leading to the village from the very beginning where the tribesmen lived.

The spirit gathering array requires maintenance. If the spirit stones that maintain the array are gone, they must be replenished in time.

However, Mu Qingyin didn't have to worry about this. She had to do it herself to set up a large spirit gathering array, but she didn't need to do that to place the spirit stones.

Kuang Zhihai was not completely confident in handing the spirit stone over to others, so the task fell on Kuang Zhifeng and Kuang Zhihong. Only by leaving the spirit stone with the two of them could Kuang Zhihai feel truly at ease.

On this day, she stayed in the training room for another five or six days. As soon as she came out, Mu Qingyin learned that her grandmother had called her over, so she went to her grandmother's residence without any delay.

In addition to Old Madam Kuang, Kuang Guya also happened to be in Shou'an Residence. Seeing her mother Mu Qingyin, she inevitably went over to sit next to her, and the mother and daughter, the grandparents and grandchildren, talked intimately for a while.

As she was talking, Mu Qingyin remembered that her grandmother must have something to say to her, so she asked. However, she was surprised by what Madam Kuang said and thought she had heard it wrong.

"The Concubine Jing summoned me to the palace?" Mu Qingyin was quite puzzled. "Why did she suddenly think of me?"

When she first knew that she was Xuanyuan Changxu's savior, Concubine Jing didn't even think of her, let alone seeing her, and even refused to give her a reward. Why did she think of her now?

"Haha, who knows why she suddenly remembered it? She said she wanted to see you, the one who saved the eleventh prince, and thank you in person. But we have been here for a long time. If she really wanted to see you and thank you, why didn't she send someone here earlier?"

Madam Kuang said indifferently, with obvious displeasure in her tone: "Don't even mention sending someone to summon you a few days ago. In such a long time, has she ever sent anyone to deliver a thank-you gift, except for the Eleventh Prince himself?"

Madam Kuang couldn't help but snorted coldly, and said to Mu Qingyin with a look of disapproval: "Forget it, let's not talk about her. You don't have to care what she thinks. She has no say on whether to go or not, it's up to you.

If you are curious about what the palace is like and want to take a tour, then we can go. You can go any day you want. Just send someone to pass a sign and let them know before you go.

If you don't want to go, then we won't go. Anyway, Concubine Jing is just an unpopular concubine, you don't have to take her to heart. If you don't want to go, just find an excuse to get away with it. "

"."

Mu Qingyin felt strange and uneasy about what Madam Kuang said.

Without beating around the bush, she asked directly, "Grandmother, when Concubine Jing didn't think of me before, you didn't talk about her like this either.

What happened now? Did she offend you in some way? Otherwise, why would your attitude change so quickly? "

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 418 Lies

"Isn't it Nanny Chen who is beside Concubine Jing?"

Without waiting for Madam Kuang to answer, Kuang Guya on the side said with a sneer, "A servant relied on being Concubine Jing's wet nurse to come to our house with a big face. He was not polite at all when he spoke, which made people feel uncomfortable no matter how they listened to him.

She almost said openly or covertly that everyone in our Kuang family is her slave. You saved the eleventh prince and you should be grateful to her."

Thinking of Nanny Chen's expression, Kuang Guya was still angry: "She is just a servant. If she hadn't been instructed by her master, would she dare to be so rude?"

"That's right. This is what I'm angry about. If the master didn't have such thoughts in his mind and acted so unscrupulously, how could Grandma Chen dare to be so presumptuous when coming to our house?"

Madam Kuang angrily slapped the table in front of her and said, "It's a pity that I used to like Concubine Jing even more because she was the princess of Dazhao and you saved the eleventh prince.

I never thought she was such an ungrateful villain. She never thought about what would happen to her, a concubine who had been out of favor for many years, in that cannibalistic place if you hadn't saved the eleventh prince? Does she still want to live like this now? "

Looking at Mu Qingyin, Madam Kuang snorted coldly and said, "If it were you, I would say we shouldn't give her this face. By the way, let the people of the capital see that our Yi family is not a soft persimmon that can be easily manipulated by a mere concubine like her."

Kuang Guya also nodded: "That's what I mean, just ignore them and push it away. If she has the guts, she can ask for an imperial decree to announce it."

Mu Qingyin: "..."

Seeing that Mu Qingyin didn't respond for a long time and there was a look of hesitation on her face, both Madam Kuang and Kuang Guya felt a pang in their hearts.

After looking at each other, Kuang Guya asked cautiously, "Qingyin, are you really in love with the Eleventh Prince, so you don't want to give Concubine Jing a face?"

"Mother, I did not want to lose face for Concubine Jing because of the Eleventh Prince. But it's not because I like him, but because we are friends.

Moreover, the eleventh prince's eyebrows and eyes look somewhat similar to my master, so I can't help but feel closer to him and have a better impression of him."

Looking at Kuang Guya and Old Madam Kuang with some embarrassment, Mu Qingyin was thinking while saying these words: As expected, one lie requires countless more lies to cover it up.

Kuang Guya: "..."

Madam Kuang: "..."

The two of them were silent for a long time because of Mu Qingyin's words. Mu Qingyin felt a little guilty and felt uncomfortable for having to deceive them.

But if she didn't do this, they and even the entire Kuang family would definitely lose all their good feelings towards Xuanyuan Changxu, who was already disliked by his grandfather because of his status as a prince, because of Concubine Jing.

At that time, if all her family members objected and she insisted on continuing to associate with Xuanyuan Changxu, wouldn't everyone think that she liked Xuanyuan Changxu, and liked him very much?

Therefore, Mu Qingyin had to tell this lie. She had to find a reasonable excuse for herself to continue to treat Xuanyuan Changxu as a friend.

However, even if she didn't think she had done anything wrong, Mu Qingyin still felt bad for deceiving her family. So when Kuang Guya and Old Madam Kuang didn't say anything, she also kept silent.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 419: Can't Suffer Loss

The silence lasted for an unknown amount of time, and finally it was Old Madam Kuang who took the lead in sighing and speaking, "So that's what happened. Let's just forget about it.

Although they are mother and son, we cannot blame one for the other.

Anyway, our Qingyin doesn't like him and wants to marry him. She has to curry favor with Jingfei's future mother-in-law. Isn't it just to treat Xuanyuan Changxu as a friend, and give her some face for the sake of a friend? "

As she spoke, Madam Kuang stared at Mu Qingyin, fearing that she still liked Xuanyuan Changxu but was refusing to admit it, and that she would be touched and change her expression because of the words she said specifically to test her.

When she saw that Mu Qingyin really didn't care about what she said, and nodded in agreement, without any shy little girl's expression, she finally let go of most of her heart. Fortunately, her granddaughter was really as she said, and she was not moved by Xuanyuan Changxu. She really just regarded him as a friend. And because he looked a bit like the master who saved her, she loved him.

Since that was the case, what was there for Madam Kuang to worry about? So after figuring it out, Madam Kuang finally smiled. Even Kuang Guya figured it out, and no longer insisted on the fact that Mu Qingyin wanted to give face to Concubine Jing because of Xuanyuan Changxu.

So Kuang Guya nodded and said, "Then go ahead. Your grandmother and I will accompany you. Otherwise, Concubine Jing and her people in the palace will deliberately make things difficult for you. You are young and embarrassed and don't know how to deal with it."

"That's right, we've given her face. But we can't afford to lose. So your mother and I will go with you. I want to see if Concubine Jing dares to let her dog yell without tying it up in front of us."

Upon hearing this, Madam Kuang nodded in agreement, with an eager look on her face as if she wanted to beat the dog in front of her master. She asked Mu Qingyin, "When do you want to go?"

Mu Qingyin: "."

After she coughed lightly, she faced the expectant and somewhat excited eyes of Old Madam Kuang and Kuang Guya and said rather uncomfortably, "Let's do it tomorrow. But I think I can go to the palace by myself, so you don't have to accompany me."

She explained, "I'm not a child. It would be too embarrassing for me to hide under your wings when I'm already this old. But don't worry, as mother said, I'm going to give face to Concubine Jing for Xuanyuan Changxu's sake.

If it was Concubine Jing or her wet nurse, or anyone else, and they were shameless, I would never allow myself to suffer any loss or injustice. "

Mu Qingyin said what she was thinking. Not to mention Xuanyuan Changxu, even if it was Ah Sha from her previous life, she would never sacrifice herself for him.

So what if she was a concubine? Even if the emperor summoned her, as a cultivator, she was a high-level warrior. Did she need to compromise herself to please them? If that was the case, she wouldn't have to continue to practice against the will of heaven. Cultivators cultivate their original hearts. She was worried that if she compromised herself, she would leave a demon in her heart.

If Concubine Jing felt wronged and went to Xuanyuan Changxu to cry and complain, and he blamed her for this, then that was perfect, she would just assume that Xuanyuan Changxu and she had no chance to be friends in this life.

Anyway, she has done a lot for Xuanyuan Changxu, and now they are even, she doesn't have to feel guilty about him anymore.

Chapter 420 Come Prepared

Seeing how resolute Mu Qingyin was, her words revealed her indifference to Concubine Jing without any concealment, Old Madam Kuang and Kuang Guya let go of their worries even more completely after seeing this.

The two looked at each other again, then nodded and said in unison: "Okay."

The next day.

Thinking that the imperial palace was not somewhere else and it would not be good to bring too many people, Mu Qingyin only brought Cai Lian with her. She also specially asked Cai Lian to wear the badge of a high-level great perfection warrior, and the two of them rode in a carriage to the outside of the palace gate.

Because Mu Qingyin was going to the palace today, she didn't want her to wait any longer at the palace gate. As soon as the palace gate opened early in the morning, Old Madam Kuang sent someone to pass a sign to the palace.

Mu Qingyin didn't leave the mansion until the news came out. So when she arrived, the maid sent by Concubine Jing's palace to pick her up had been waiting for some time.

Seeing the high-level martial arts badges worn by Mu Qingyin and Cai Lian, the palace maids who were originally looking a little uneasy because of waiting suddenly widened their eyes and dared not show any dissatisfaction to the two. No matter what they thought in their hearts, they could only lead the way respectfully.

Mu Qingyin felt the change in the maid's attitude, but she didn't care. She was quiet all the way when she was led to Concubine Jing's palace with Cai Lian. She didn't ask anything when the other party didn't speak.

The maid felt that as a maid of Concubine Jing, and since Mu Qingyin was interested in the eleventh prince, she should come up to curry favor with her future mother-in-law even if she was a high-level warrior. So she put on a high profile and acted distant and indifferent.

Unexpectedly, Mu Qingyin didn't buy her trick at all, and her attitude was even colder and more distant than she appeared.

Not only Mu Qingyin, but even her maid Cai Lian had the same attitude as Mu Qingyin, and did not make any move to win over Mu Qingyin in private.

The palace maid was dumbfounded. She pondered as she walked, and gradually began to doubt what Nanny Chen beside Concubine Jing had said, that Mu Qingyin would definitely rush to curry favor with them if she had taken a fancy to their Eleventh Prince, and there was no need for them to be nice to her.

Thinking that this was a good job, and that she had managed to get it with great difficulty, if she didn't get any reward money, wouldn't it be a joke that she had spent so much effort before? The more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became. However, when facing Mu Qingyin and her servant, the maid had no choice but to send the person to Concubine Jing's palace with resentment, and left the person behind with a cold "Wait." She went to report without any explanation.

After she left, Mu Qingyin and Cai Lian stood there for a long time but no one came to greet them.

The two looked around and saw that the palace maids and eunuchs in Concubine Jing's palace, who had been curiously looking at them secretly, hurriedly turned their eyes away when they saw them looking at them, and lowered their heads to get busy.

"Miss, are you thirsty? Have a cup of honey water to moisten your lips first. Humph, they are too unreasonable. They have no hospitality at all. They announced our arrival and left us alone without saying a word.

Not to mention the rich and powerful, even the small and medium-sized families have never seen such a hospitality. Fortunately, I was prepared and brought water and snacks. Miss, would you like some more cakes?"

After standing there for about half an incense stick of time, before Mu Qingyin could say anything, Cai Lian started to feel indignant on her behalf, and took out a small water bag and a green warm jade bamboo cup from the package she was carrying.

She opened the water bag and poured a cup of water into it for Mu Qingyin. Cai Lian then opened a small food box containing snacks and showed it to her, with a proud look on her face for being so well prepared.
