Imperial Cultivation

Chu Yi giggled and said, "Could it be related to Big Brother? Could it be that you're going to marry Big Brother?"

Li Suyue's bright eyes widened. Chu Minghou looked over.

Bai Ningshuang looked at Chu Zhiyuan, and seeing that Chu Zhiyuan's expression was calm, she said helplessly, "I heard the Empress say that Da Zhen does indeed have this intention, to match you with the Eighteenth Princess."

"Mother, can the Eighteenth Princess be a concubine?" Chu Yi asked in surprise, "Impossible, right?"

"Da Zhen's intention is for the Eighteenth Princess to be the principal wife, and Ruoling to be the concubine."

"How is that possible!" Chu Yi said angrily, "There should be a first come, first served basis, right? Sister Xiao was the first to be engaged, so of course she should be the principal wife... Right, Sister Li?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Li Suyue nodded busily. Chu Zhiyuan glanced at her.

Li Suyue's progress was extremely rapid. These days, she had already reached the sixth level of the Xiantian realm, a truly rapid advancement, comparable to his own progress back then.

Chu Yi had also reached the first level of the Xiantian realm, and her progress was also surprisingly fast.

The two promoted each other, practiced their skills every day, and enjoyed exotic flowers and plants, living a life that was both simple and fulfilling.

Plus the wonderful effects of the Everlasting Spirit Tree.

Li Suyue lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at him. "Father, is that right?" Chu Yi turned to look at Chu Minghou again.

Chu Minghou coughed lightly, and under Chu Yi's glare, he nodded helplessly: "Yes."

Only then did Chu Yi look at Chu Zhiyuan.

"Mother," Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "I don't want to marry a princess from Da Zhen."

"...According to the Empress, this is your Imperial Grandfather's intention."

"I already made it clear to Imperial Grandfather before, and Imperial Grandfather didn't agree, did he?"

Bai Ningshuang said, "Da Zhen seems to have paid a great price to get your Imperial Grandfather to agree."

"If Imperial Grandfather issues an imperial decree to bestow the marriage, I will refuse to comply. I will make this clear to the Empress in advance."

At that time, the Da Zhen princess's situation will be difficult.

It is impossible to return to Da Zhen, because she knows too many secrets of Da Jing.

In Da Jing, she will be guarded, vigilant, and isolated, and she will definitely live a lonely and aggrieved life.

No matter how strong the Da Zhen princess is, she cannot resist the exclusion and alienation of the entire environment. Few Da Zhen princesses who marry over can have a good ending, and they often die in depression.

At that time, should the man who is the Da Zhen princess's husband be an enemy of the entire Da Jing, or should he maintain the same position as Da Jing and alienate the Da Zhen princess?

It is destined to be an extremely troublesome matter, so why get involved?

The Eighteenth Princess is a beauty, but Xiao Ruoling is also a beauty. He is not so greedy, and he doesn't want to embrace all the beauties in the world.

If he obeys the imperial decree now, there will be endless troubles in the future. If he violates the imperial decree now, there will also be troubles.

But it will definitely be less troublesome than in the future. This is the so-called short pain is better than long pain.

"You..." Chu Minghou said, "Don't be so stubborn and go against your Imperial Grandfather's intention. You need to be more flexible."

"Please Father, enlighten me." Chu Zhiyuan smiled. Bai Ningshuang and the others also looked at him curiously.

Chu Minghou said, "You can push it back first, saying that you are at a critical moment in your cultivation and should not be distracted."

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled and said, "Father, Imperial Grandfather understands cultivation the most. It won't work to use cultivation as an excuse."

Chu Minghou said, "Then you should hurry up and break through. Once you become a Grandmaster, Father's attitude will be different."

"Grandmaster, huh..." Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

A Grandmaster has more confidence and speaks more forcefully. You can see the clue from the Second Prince, Prince Jing.

Originally, he was under house arrest, but after becoming a Grandmaster, he left directly, and no one stopped him.

Even the punishment of house arrest is ineffective against a Grandmaster, which shows the high status of a Grandmaster.

Especially the Grandmasters of the royal family, they are even more unyielding.

No matter how angry the Emperor is, he will not vent his anger on the Grandmasters of the royal family. Once you become a Grandmaster, it is the Emperor who has to be tolerant.

"Big Brother, when will you become a Grandmaster?" Chu Yi asked curiously. Li Suyue forgot her shyness and looked over curiously.

Chu Zhiyuan thought for a while and finally shook his head: "It's hard to say. It's impossible in the short term." He was about to break through to the ninth level, and then there was the Grandmaster Completion stage, and finally the last hurdle.

Gao Jiqu, such a genius, was stuck for five years. What about himself? Can he break through directly? Chu Minghou said: "Try to delay it."

Bai Ningshuang snorted: "Your Majesty, you are just giving bad ideas." Chu Minghou said: "Is my idea bad?"

"What kind of person is Father? He doesn't tolerate sand in his eyes. Can delaying it work?"

"...Father doesn't really agree with this matter either. He should go with the flow and turn a blind eye."

"Saying that you don't understand Father, you still don't believe it... If Father hasn't agreed to someone, then he will indeed turn a blind eye, but once he agrees, he will never be perfunctory and will definitely do it properly."

Chu Minghou said, "So, Yu'er is destined to marry this Eighteenth Princess?"

Bai Ningshuang said, "Now don't think about whether to marry or not, but rather fight for the position of the principal wife or the concubine."

Chu Minghou hesitated: "Father wouldn't be so excessive, would he?"

Bai Ningshuang snorted: "Then how will we explain to Da Zhen? Is the grievance of the Anguo Duke's Mansion important, or is Da Zhen's satisfaction important? Of course, national affairs are the most important."

Chu Minghou looked at Chu Zhiyuan with sympathy.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned and pondered.

Bai Ningshuang said, "Yu'er, actually, there's nothing wrong with marrying a Da Zhen princess. Emperor Pingzong married a Da Zhen princess as his concubine... Moreover, this princess lived very well in the palace and even enjoyed a long life."

"What if we fight with Da Zhen?"

"The harem doesn't interfere in government affairs. What does it matter to the imperial palace if the court fights back and forth?"

"It's impossible for there to be no impact at all."

"It's not as serious as you think. Don't scare yourself." Bai Ningshuang said.

Chu Yi giggled and said, "Then Big Brother, you become the Emperor. Who will dare to talk about you then? If you can't become the Emperor, the Da Zhen princess's life won't be easy either."

Bai Ningshuang snorted: "Just live your own life behind closed doors. There can't be anyone who dares to bully the Prince's Mansion. We have been sealed for these thirty years and we are still doing very well."

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled.

Bai Ningshuang glared at him fiercely: "What, are we not doing well?"

"Good, good, good, very good, couldn't be better." Chu Zhiyuan laughed.

Bai Ningshuang said unhappily: "In short, you still have to strive for success. If you have power and influence, who would dare to talk nonsense because your Princess Consort is a Da Zhen princess?"

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

The key is to break through as soon as possible, and not to warm up slowly. The shortcut to breaking through is the Glazed Blade Sutra.

Today, I will desperately practice the Glazed Blade Sutra to push the Spirit Transformation realm forward. The time to break through to the ninth level will be greatly shortened.

How to advance the Spirit Transformation realm?
