Good luck with koi carp

Chapter 96 Princess Zhenyuan
"I have something I want to show the princess."

Chi Li didn't say much nonsense and directly threw a photo stone into Xiao Huaixin's hands.

Xiao Huaixin caught the shadow stone. Although she had doubts on her face, she still followed Chi Li's instructions and input spiritual power into it to activate it.

With the infusion of spiritual power, a faint light flashed on the surface of the originally gray shadow stone, and then a small illusory scene unfolded on the top of the stone, like a 3D projection, truly showing what Chi Li saw in the iron mine. Everything that happened was recorded, including the whole process of the Jiuxuan Sword Sect disciples who discovered the secret and later tried to destroy the evidence and frame the incident on others.

Lu State is a unique country. In this generally feudal and conservative world, it is the only country that allows the royal family's female heirs to inherit the throne.

Therefore, as long as they are the heirs of the emperor, regardless of gender, they can receive the same education since childhood, and the emperor's mental skills are indispensable.


Although Xiao Huaixin was just one of the many children of her mother, neither the eldest nor the youngest, the education she had received since childhood allowed her to instantly understand what the mysterious senior in front of her meant when he showed her these things.


Immediately, her face became extremely livid, and she lost the expression control she was most proud of in the past.


"What do they want to do if they make iron privately?!"


Even in the mortal world, if the imperial court wanted to make iron, it had to go through strict supervision. Even the emperor did not say that he had the right to make iron if he wanted to, because everyone knew that iron would cause war, and war would bring disaster. , plunged the country into turmoil and displaced the people. Countless previous dynasties that were destroyed due to war have confirmed this to future generations with their dripping blood.


Therefore, the moment he saw this, Xiao Huaixin's political alarm was inevitably triggered, and he immediately started a conspiracy theory.


Even looking at Chi Li, he couldn't help but look suspicious.


Chi Li ignored Xiao Huaixin's gaze, folded her hands on her chest, leaned against the bedpost, and said in a rogue manner: "I don't know what these people are doing by making iron secretly, and I don't bother to find out. Things in the world have nothing to do with us cultivators. If the princess wants to know the specific truth, she might as well check it out herself. But I am just a kind-hearted person who accidentally discovered a little secret and can't bear the suffering of the people in the world. Just people.”


As soon as she finished speaking, Chi Li acted like a well-meaning passerby who came to tell the truth when she saw an injustice on the road. After telling the secret in a smooth manner, she fled away, leaving Xiao Huaixin unable to investigate.


Of course, Xiao Huaixin, who was shocked by such major news at this time, had no intention of caring about Chi Li's whereabouts. He was focused on the picture reflected by the shadow stone in his hand, and his face became increasingly cold.


The palace fell into silence for a while. After about half an hour, a delicate voice suddenly came from inside: "Here comes someone."


"Princess."


The two maids who had been waiting outside the palace heard the sound and came in and responded respectfully.


"You go and give this to my mother." Xiao Huaixin handed an inconspicuous storage bag to the maid in blue on the left, and then turned her eyes to the maid in green on the other side. .


There was no need for instructions. The maid in green understood it naturally. After the maid in blue took the order and left, she took out a piece of white paper from her arms, folded it in twos and threes to form an exquisite little man, poured spiritual power into it, and threw it to the ground. , in an instant, the paper figure swelled up in the wind, and gradually turned into the appearance of the departing maid in blue.


Not only the appearance and clothing, but also the aura of cultivation are exactly the same.


As long as he doesn't fight anyone, even Shen Aotian might not be able to notice the difference between this paper man and the real maid in blue.


I didn't expect Xiao Huaixin to have this skill.


Chili, who had not left at all, turned into a drop of dew and fell on the petals of a peony placed in a flowerpot in the corner, watching this scene with interest.


Judging from their skillful appearance, it was obvious that this was not the first time they had done this. What's interesting is that these two maids were sent by Shen Aotian to protect his confidante, but secretly they were obviously Xiao Huaixin's people.


If we were to guess more boldly, they might be the manpower secretly prepared by Lu State for Xiao Huaixin. Why Xiao Huaixin, such a capable person, was willing to humiliate herself and become a member of Shen Aotian's Palace is quite intriguing.


Feeling that she knew a great little secret, Chi Li saw that Xiao Huaixin had no intention of making any more moves, so she quietly left her bedroom with a little excitement.


Of course, before leaving, she also used the petals of the peony flowers that she had just temporarily hidden to make something similar to the little paper man made by the maid in green. It would temporarily serve as Chili's eyes and ears, helping her to spy on Xiao Huaixin from time to time. News from the palace.


This little spell was taught to Chi Li by a flower fairy when she was in the fairy world. The only pity is that this spell does not last long, only for two or three days, and can only be used on flowers.


Chi Li left this spell just to prevent Xiao Huaixin from making any small moves after confirming that she had completely left in order to guard against her.


Sure enough, nearly an hour passed after Chi Li left, and there was another movement from Xiao Huaixin's side.


"Besides you and me, is there a third person in this hall?"


"Back to princess, no more."


"you sure?"


"I'm sure, I have used three different detection methods to confirm that there are indeed only two of you left in this palace."


After receiving repeated confirmations, Xiao Huaixin breathed a sigh of relief. She relaxed and leaned on the beauty, and said lazily: "Where has Chen Yu been recently?"


"Back to the princess, the sect leader has been out recently. I don't know where he went. He has not returned yet."


"Going out all the time..."


Her beautiful eyes were wandering, and she was deep in thought. After a while, Xiao Huaixin turned over and pretended to sleep peacefully on the beauty's bed tonight: "Tomorrow, remind me to meet my good cousin and talk about old times. I'm tired tonight, you Just stay in this palace and don’t go out again.”


"Yes, princess."


The maid in green responded and took out a thousand-year-old silk quilt from her storage bag to cover the woman. Then she took out a futon and placed it under her bed. She sat on it and meditated, watching quietly. other side.


I want to ask if Xiao Huaixin is asleep at this time?


Of course there was no such thing. She was so bored that she had no time to sleep.


In fact, she didn't completely believe that Chi Li was just a 'kind-hearted passer-by', or in other words, she never trusted him from the beginning to the end. After all, no real 'kind-hearted passer-by' would go to great lengths to break through the Jiuxuan Sword Sect's Layers of protection came in front of her, just to show her something that basically had no impact on the safety of the world of cultivation.


To put it bluntly, this thing actually affects only mortals who are like ants in the eyes of the monks.


However, Xiao Huaixin is a princess of a country, and those ant-like mortals are her people. She has been supported by the people of the country since she was a child, and she grew up in fine clothes and fine food. When something happens, her first reaction is to do her best. Protect her people instead of ignoring them.


So what if she knew in her heart that the mysterious man told her this on purpose?

Even as smart as she is, she also deduced that the person the other party really wanted to target was Shen Chenyu, and she was just a tool used by the other party.


Xiao Huaixin didn't feel angry at all about this. She was even a little grateful to the other party. If she hadn't taken a liking to her and wanted to take advantage of her, she wouldn't have informed her of such important news in advance.


You know, after knowing this matter in advance, there is a lot she can do. At least, even if the war is still inevitable, she can make preparations in advance to protect the safety of her country.


Of course, Chi Li didn't know about the complicated thoughts of a certain princess. After successfully adding a hard stone to block Shen Aotian's road, she happily turned into a koi again and hid in the lotus pond. Eat and drink.


By the way, one thing needs to be made clear.


In fact, Shen Aotian is not called Shen Aotian. This is simply a fancy name Chi Li gave people after reading too many modern novels. In fact, the male protagonist is called Shen Chenyu. It sounds much taller, but Chi Li doesn't care. , she said that the scumbag did not deserve to have a name with her.


The lotus pond is a great place.


Chi Li sighed, the day after the work was done, she saw a good show here.


What happened was that early that morning, Xiao Huaixin took a group of palace people out for a walk. The most conspicuous among them were the maids who followed closely on her left and right sides and exuded the aura of Nascent Soul monks. They were very ostentatious along the way.


On the corridor near the lotus pond, she bumped into another team with a large number of people.


The leading woman looks pretty and lovely. If you look closely, you can see that her features are somewhat similar to Xiao Huaixin, but in terms of beauty and temperament, Xiao Huaixin is better.


Her cultivation level is higher than Xiao Huaixin's, having broken through to the early stage of the Golden Core. However, not only is there only one part-time guard and maid behind her, but she is also at the peak of the Golden Core. There are not as many people in the accompanying palace as Xiao Huaixin, so she seems a bit weak in comparison. Weak.


Wow, is the cultivation version of palace fighting about to take place in front of her eyes?


No one noticed that in the lotus pond next to them, a koi fish poked half of its head out with great interest. It seemed to be quiet, but in fact it was openly watching the encounter between the two groups of people, and silently evaluating the combat effectiveness of both sides. , let’s look at who will win if it develops to a head-turning point.


No matter in terms of momentum or overall strength, she felt that Xiao Huaixin had a higher winning rate.


Chi Li, the beautiful woman standing opposite Xiao Huaixin, naturally recognized her. Her identity was somewhat related to Xiao Huaixin. Her mother was the cousin of Xiao Huaixin's mother, and she was later married to another big country, Heguo, as a marriage partner. The prince became a princess and gave birth to a son and a daughter. The daughter was named the princess, with the surname of Chu and the name of Zhenyuan.
Therefore, she is also called Princess Zhenyuan.


As one of Shen Aotian's confidants, Princess Zhenyuan was much less favored than Xiao Huaixin.


This can be seen just by looking at the staffing of both sides.


But emotionally, it is obvious that Princess Zhenyuan is more love-minded.


This man really liked Shen Aotian, so naturally he disliked the other women around him, including the original owner and his cousin.


However, her princess cousin has a high status and is protected by her brother Chen Yu. Even if her cultivation is not as good as hers, she is protected by powerful guards. She can do nothing, so she can only often make trouble for the original owner who is easier to bully.


But how can I put it, in Chili's view, this girl is completely spoiled by her family, she is still a child at heart, and when she bullies others, she will only deliberately ask people to bring her tea and water, and then act like she is being loved by someone. A doting look to stimulate the original owner.


But the original owner didn't like the scumbag, so she wasn't offended at all, and Princess Zhenyuan's little tricks couldn't even be called bullying in the days when she was bullied. On the contrary, every time she was called to the opponent's palace, she would give her a When she brought tea and water, it was a rare moment for the original owner to relax.


At least no one would whip her with a spiked whip and make her wash clothes for the entire palace's servants, clean the toilet bowl, etc. in the middle of winter.


Therefore, although the original owner did not like Princess Zhenyuan, it was not disgusting. Naturally, there was no hatred or anything like that. This person was not on Chi Li's revenge list.


She even felt that this person could be used for some purpose.


After all, Princess Zhenyuan doesn't look very smart and is a bit easy to deceive. She would feel a bit of a loss if she didn't deceive her.


Obviously, Xiao Huaixin thought so too.


She led the people straight to Princess Zhenyuan. With a height difference of nearly eight centimeters, she looked down at her condescendingly. Her eyes were a little disgusting, as if she was looking at something stupid, which only made her hairy. , then Shi Shiran said: "Hey, isn't this Zhen Yuan? Why do you still have the heart to take a walk here now?"


"You are all interested in hanging out, why don't I, the princess, have any other thoughts?" Upon hearing this, Princess Zhenyuan responded directly with a rather aggressive tone, unwilling to be outdone at all.


Sure enough, this little fool took the bait as soon as he fished. Xiao Huaixin smiled at the corner of her lips, but there was a bit of unhappiness in her eyebrows: "Have you seen Chen Yu recently?"


"Brother Chen Yu?" Princess Zhenyuan was stunned when he heard this, then frowned slightly and subconsciously replied: "No, didn't he say he would stay in seclusion for a while and asked us not to disturb him?"


"It turns out that Chen Yu went to retreat, and I didn't even know it."


Xiao Huaixin muttered a few words as if in a trance, and then stopped talking to Princess Zhenyuan. She led her people past them and left straight away, leaving Princess Zhenyuan alone with questions on her head.


"baffling."


Rolling her eyes at Xiao Huaixin's back, Princess Zhenyuan also led her people away. But after returning to her palace, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Xiao Huaixin's behavior today was very wrong.


Normally, when the two of them met, she wouldn't show off her brother Chen Yu's love for her arrogantly in front of her, and at the same time despise her for being stupid, until she was so angry that she lost her dignity as a princess, she would never let go easily. Why has her been so 'quiet' recently?


To be honest, Princess Zhenyuan actually felt a little uncomfortable.


Is she being tortured into a fool's errand?

Shaking her head and getting rid of the unreliable thoughts in her mind, the puzzled Princess Zhenyuan habitually turned to ask the maid beside her who had grown up with her: "Chunzhu, do you think Xiao Huaixin is a little strange today? "


The maid and guard next to her watched this scene quietly without saying a word.


Hearing the master's inquiry, Chunzhu thought for a while and replied: "Back to the princess, your highness the princess is indeed a little unusual today, but I think this matter may have something to do with the sect master."


"Brother Chen Yu? What does it have to do with him?" Princess Zhenyuan still couldn't figure it out.


Seeing this, Chunzhu had to speak more bluntly: "Princess, do you think that Her Royal Highness Princess just now said that she has not seen the sect master for several days, and she did not know that the sect master has gone into seclusion in recent days because he has not seen anyone. The servant said Princess, if you don’t like to hear anything, it should be replaced as usual. Considering how much the sect master cares about Her Royal Highness, it is impossible for him to forget to tell her his whereabouts, so..."


Chunzhu couldn't say anything else, so he could only act like he was hesitant to speak.


Princess Zhenyuan's eyes lit up, and she happily continued: "So this means that Brother Chenyu doesn't like Xiao Huaixin!"


Chunzhu: "..."

Guard maid: "..."


"No, it's impossible." In the speechless eyes of the two maids, Princess Zhenyuan was wise for a rare moment, and quickly overturned her guess: "Even if Brother Chenyu no longer likes Xiao Huaixin, looking at her behind her back For the sake of Lu Guo, it is absolutely impossible for her to be treated so coldly."


Not to mention that she is a son of the royal family, no matter how stupid Princess Zhenyuan is, she has been influenced by her childhood and has not had any political literacy at all. After all, she still knows that when the backing of her mother's family is strong enough, ordinary men will not dare to act easily. Treat your wife coldly.


Even if her proud princess cousin is not the wife of Chen Yu's brother, the situation is similar.


Regardless of the fact that the Nine-Xuan Sword Sect is now at its peak in the world of cultivation and is developing rapidly, almost rivaling other major cultivation sects with a longer heritage. This is because behind it is the strong support of the two major kingdoms in the world. No matter how weak the mortals are, once the country As a unit, together they are a force that cannot be underestimated.


Moreover, as long as the monks in the world of cultivation are not completely cut off from all relatives, there are still a few mortal relatives. Most of these mortals need to live in the mortal kingdom. Even for the sake of their own blood relatives, most monks will still give them Mortal emperors are somewhat thin-faced.


In the same way, it also gives Jiuxuan Sword Sect some face.


Therefore, even though there are many female cultivators with strong cultivation in Shen Chenyu's harem, there are also people with equally extraordinary backgrounds, and the status of sisters Xiao Huaixin and Chu Zhenyuan among them is also transcendent.


If you think about it carefully, there is something wrong with Brother Chen Yu's behavior.


"Tell me, brother Chen Yu said he was going to retreat. Could it be that he was perfunctory with me, but in fact he went out to hook up with some little goblin?"


She didn't need the approval of people around her. The more Princess Zhenyuan thought about it, the more she thought about it. She couldn't sit still on the spot.


"Chunzhu, go out and find out whether Brother Chenyu is really in retreat or has gone out. If he has gone out, where has he gone?"


In order to allow the maid to better inquire about the news, Princess Zhenyuan also took out the token given by her family when she came to Jiuxuan Sword Sect with her brother Chen Yu. Her father told her that with this token, she could find someone who was similar to him. Mark the shop and ask them to help her with errands, including helping her find out any information she wants to know.


"Yes, servant girl will do it now."


After getting the task, Chunzhu quickly left to do things. The moment she stepped out of the palace door, the maid who had been guarding Princess Zhenyuan moved her fingertips slightly and secretly sent the message. Princess Zhenyuan didn't notice at all.


Therefore, it is really not advisable to take drugs to improve your cultivation. You see, even if you are fooled, you won’t even know it.


Chi Li, who saw this scene secretly, shook her head and sighed privately.


However, this comparison made Chi Li discover another little secret of Xiao Huaixin.


It turns out that Her Highness the Princess's cultivation level is not improved entirely by blindly accumulating pills. She must have been practicing hard secretly, so even though her cultivation level looks inferior to her cousin's on the surface, her spiritual power is actually higher than that of her cousin. The other side is much more solid.


If the two sides really fight alone, it is really not certain who will lose and who will win.


But this Princess Zhenyuan is no ordinary person.


As early as the first time she met Princess Zhenyuan, Chi Li noticed that she had a rather good luck in her body. This luck was somewhat similar to Xiao Huaixin's, but different at the same time.


If you look carefully, Xiao Huaixin's aura is more like a dragon, which is formed by the princess of a country connecting with the luck of a country. In other words, this girl looks like she could be an emperor.


And Xiao Huaixin’s luck is biased toward good fortune. Her parents and elders must always do good deeds, so that the accumulated good fortune extends to her. In addition, she is also a very lucky child. The two factors are superimposed to form this result. A little bit of dazzling luck.


This may be the legendary saying that fools are blessed.


Huh?

Suddenly, as if she had discovered something, Chili couldn't help but let out a sigh in her heart.


Why did she see the short-lived appearance in Princess Zhenyuan?
