Fairy spare

"You don't have to be polite, little fairy. Please sit down quickly."

Concubine Yu was very friendly, raised her hand to invite, then looked at the fourth prince and said: "Jing'er, quickly pour the snow lotus tea you prepared for the little fairy."

Shangguan Jing came back to his senses, nodded quickly, picked up an exquisite white jade teapot in front of him, and said: "Little fairy, try this snow lotus tea. It is brewed with centuries-old snow lotus and natural snow water on the snow mountain. It is very sweet."

Centennial snow lotus, such a rare spiritual plant, was used to make tea in the royal family, which shows the wealth of the royal family.

Ruan Li happily accepted it, and then said: "The empress and the fourth prince have noble status. I am young and a junior, and I cannot afford the honorific title of fairy. The empress and the fourth prince can just call me A Li."

"Okay, calling me by name seems more cordial." Concubine Yu smiled and said, "It's just that the sudden invitation today is a bit abrupt."

The fourth prince couldn't wait to say: "Ali, don't blame me. It's just that Senior Li saved my mother's life. My mother has always remembered it in her heart for more than ten years. When she learned that Senior Li came to the imperial city yesterday, she thought Thank you in person."

"But the affairs of Tiangui Royal Academy are related to Tiangui Jiangshan Sheji, and it is not good for my mother to disturb the business at this time. I heard that Senior Li brought his proud disciples with him, so I asked Defu to invite A Li. .”

Concubine Yu nodded with a smile: "It's just breakfast, Ali, don't be formal."

Ruan Li secretly exhaled a breath and relaxed slightly.

I originally thought that Concubine Yu would not have any ill intentions and would not embarrass me.It's just that the invisible pressure was put on herself, and it was inevitable for her to face the royal family when she first arrived.

Xinxinran chatted with Concubine Yu for a while, and Ruan Li learned that Concubine Yu suddenly suffered from a serious illness more than ten years ago and almost lost her life.

At that time, the master personally went down to the mountain to diagnose and treat him, and the disease was driven away with just one acupuncture. This shocked everyone at the time and made the master's status in the hearts of the Tiangui Royal Family even more sacred.

It was at that time that the young fourth prince developed a feeling of admiration for his master, which deeply affected his future career.

"Everyone says that his talent in alchemy is not good." Concubine Yu sighed softly and said: "He is of royal blood and has good spiritual roots and wisdom. If he puts all his thoughts into alchemy these years, They are all used in cultivation, and their cultivation will definitely not be what it is now."

"But he is stubborn and must achieve success in alchemy. Now the third-level alchemy can be regarded as the reward for his hard work for so many years. No matter what, his perseverance and spirit of not giving up easily, my father and I Everyone still approves of it.”

Ruan Li listened and nodded: "Everything depends on persistence. Master also said that where there is a will, there is a way."

"The Fourth Prince's ability to persist in one thing for more than ten years is already beyond the reach of many people."

Moreover, after more than ten years of cultivating the third-level alchemy, he is certainly much mediocre compared with the disciples of Shennong Hall, but if compared with others, the fourth prince is actually not bad.

Not to mention, even Senior Sister Nangong has worked hard for so many years, but she only has a third-level elixir.

"A Li, what level do you think my elixir must reach before Senior Li will accept me?" After hearing Ruan Li's words, the fourth prince felt an impulse in his heart and couldn't help but ask.

Ruan Li looked at him, thinking slightly, and then said: "The fourth prince should not set his goal on the master accepting you as his disciple, but should focus on the process."

"Working hard in cultivation is the most important thing. Everything else is just chance. You should just let nature take its course."

"If you are destined to master, you will get what you want one day. But if you are not destined, forcing yourself will only lead to disappointment."

"Besides... the master didn't accept the disciple based on the level of his alchemy veins. He was very discerning. When he accepted me, I didn't even have any alchemy veins."

"So Fourth Prince, please relax and practice well without any distractions. Time will do the rest. It will always give you an answer."

These words were not something a little girl of Ruan Li's age could say.

But she is a disciple of Tiangui Sect Li Xianyong, which makes these words full of convincing power.Concubine Yu also fell into deep thought. She felt sorry for her son's efforts over the years, but she also felt that Ruan Li's words made sense.

The fourth prince lowered his expression and nodded after a while: "I know I have a short temper, and sometimes I can't think clearly about things. A Li is a few years younger than me, and I am far inferior to you."

"Fourth prince, please do not deny yourself." Ruan Li said seriously: "Once a person denies himself, he will fall into endless internal friction. This is a taboo in spiritual practice."

The fourth prince sat up straight and took a deep breath: "A-Li is right."

When he finished speaking, he saw him raising his cup and saying to A Li: "Although I can't worship Senior Li as my teacher for the time being, it is an unexpected joy to meet A Li. I hope to become good friends with A Li. If I can return to heaven in the future, It would be even better to practice together at the Royal Academy.”

Ruan Li also raised his cup: "I'm also very happy to meet the fourth prince."

Seeing that her son could make friends with a talented person from the Tiangui Sect and a young alchemist with a fourth-level alchemy, Concubine Yu was also very happy: "Don't just talk, eat something quickly, it won't taste good if it's cold." ”

The meal went from formal to relaxed, and finally ended happily.

"Are you from the Ruan family in Dianliangdu?"

On the way back to the courtyard, the fourth prince insisted on seeing him off in person, and during the conversation, he learned about Ruan Li's background.

"The fourth prince knows about the Ruan family?" Ruan Li asked.

The fourth prince nodded: "It can be considered that he is from a famous family. I have heard a little about it."

"But our family is now separated from the Ruan family. I just picked up my parents from Dianliangdu a while ago and settled them in the village at the foot of Tiangui Mountain." Ruan Li said casually.

"I haven't been to Tiangui Mountain yet." The fourth prince responded.

There are many rules in the royal family. Although the prince is well-dressed and well-fed, he cannot leave the imperial city at will.

"It's quite beautiful and worth a visit." Ruan Li said with a smile.

The fourth prince thought: "If I have a chance, I can ask my father for mercy. Maybe I can go there. I want to go to Tiangui Sect to see Shennong Hall. I heard that there are very powerful alchemists in Shennong Hall..."

The two of them were walking and chatting, with Defu and several palace attendants following at a distance, not daring to go up and disturb them.

Not far away, a white figure looked from a distance, his eyes deep and calm.

"Senior Brother Tao!" Someone from the side came up and followed his gaze: "Eh? Junior Sister Ruan Li of the Tiangui Sect and...the Fourth Prince?"

Tao Ruoli nodded slightly.

The man frowned: "Do they know each other? It didn't look like they knew each other yesterday!"

Then he was shocked and said: "Could it be that Senior Li accepted the fourth prince as his apprentice? This is big news!"

"Don't speculate wildly!" Tao Ruoli looked away and reminded: "Spreading rumors about the royal family is a serious crime. Be careful of the misfortune that comes from your mouth."

When the man heard this, he was so scared that he quickly covered his mouth!
