don't show

One of the priests said: "I'm afraid I have to report this matter to the palace..."

In the imperial study room, Emperor Xia was looking at a picture album. Zhu Jin walked in from the outside and said, "Your Majesty, there is news from the school grounds that Her Highness the Princess has won the qualification for the Grand Competition after defeating the King of Jiangning County."

Emperor Xia closed the album, with a smile on his face, and said: "Minghe's talent is the highest among all the princes and princesses. I don't know if I can see her advance to the heavenly rank in my lifetime..."

At this time, Zhu Jin said again: "There is one more thing, Lin Xiu eliminated the Changping County King, and also got the qualification for the Grand Competition."

Emperor Xia was stunned for a moment, and asked, "You said Lin Xiu defeated Li Xuan?"

Zhu Jindao: "It's not just the defeat, the king of Changping County is in his hands, and he has no power to fight back. It's simply horrible."

Emperor Xia said indifferently: "Li Xuan took his own humiliation, and he can't blame others."

However, although the Changping County King asked for trouble this time, but this time Daxia had three ground-level seeds eliminated, and he alone accounted for two. If he didn't know Lin Xiu very well, he would have enough reasons It is suspected that he is an undercover agent sent by another country.

Emperor Xia thought for a while and said, "Call him here."

On the school grounds, Lin Xiu was looking for talents, when Zhu Jin suddenly appeared and asked him to enter the palace, saying that His Majesty had summoned him.

Lin Xiu had no choice but to come to the palace with him, walked into the imperial study room, clasped her fists and said, "See Your Majesty."

Emperor Xia glanced at him, and asked angrily: "Why didn't you say it sooner when you reached a higher level? If you said it earlier, we wouldn't be so internalized by the geniuses of Great Xia..."

Lin Xiu said innocently: "Your Majesty, you can't blame me, I only broke through two days ago..."

Emperor Xia waved his hand and said: "I don't care about these things, you eliminated people, you caused the court and the royal family to suffer huge losses, and I allow you to make up for your mistakes. If you can't win the top ten in this competition , don't come back to see me..."

Lin Xiu was speechless. It was obviously the Prince of Changping who asked for it, but instead it was his fault.

The dog emperor had a wishful thinking.

He is trying to be a white wolf with empty hands.

Old Master Xue knew that for him to enter the top ten of the Tianjiao list, he had to find a granddaughter, and he would always find something. Otherwise, why would Lin Xiu work so hard?

He happened to have something he wanted to help with.

He looked at Emperor Xia and said, "Your Majesty, if I can enter the top ten of the Tianjiao list, can your majesty promise me two things?"

Emperor Xia sneered and said: "You still want to discuss terms with me, so please tell me, I will listen to you first."

Lin Xiudao: "I want to ask His Majesty to give me two more marriages."

Emperor Xia was taken aback for a moment, and then he couldn't help but said: "Give me another marriage, or twice. I have already granted you two marriages, and I also asked the Ministry of Rites to hold two weddings for you. You are not satisfied, am I right?" Do you have to create a department in the Ministry of Etiquette to be in charge of your marriage?"

Lin Xiu said solemnly: "I dare not have such an extravagant request. Even if His Majesty does not agree to my minister, I will go all out to strive for a good ranking in the competition. However, during the competition, the mainland countries, Tianjiao is gathered together, and I don't have much confidence, Your Majesty had better not place too much hope on my minister..."

Emperor Xia glanced at him, went all out, went all out to be a ghost.

He doesn't know Lin Xiu well yet, and if he doesn't give him some benefits, he won't take things seriously.

Emperor Xia thought for a while and said, "At most one time."

Lin Xiu clasped her fists again and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, what about the pride of the nations, there is still half a year left, and I will work hard to practice. It is not difficult to get tenth, and I will definitely live up to your majesty's entrustment..."

Emperor Xia was silent for a moment, then said, "Twice."

Lin Xiu said solemnly: "No matter how hard I work, it shouldn't be a problem to enter the top five."

Emperor Xia was silent again, and asked, "Three times?"

Lin Xiu thought for a while and asked, "The first is unlikely, the second?"

Chapter 229 Awakening of Spiritual Pets

In fact, Lin Xiu's goal in the Grand Competition is to be second.

With the strength he can show during the competition, there is no way to beat Zhao Lingjun. After all, she is a big realm higher than him, and she is absolutely crushed in terms of strength. If he is allowed to use all the speed, and For other abilities, the outcome is unknown.

This has to be played specifically to know.

The problem is that in a real fight, he can't do his best.

But for him, the second is enough.

Secondly, he can also marry Ning'er, get a marriage from Emperor Xia, and win Lingyin's kiss.

Forget it this time, even if his cultivation speed is faster than hers, how can one year of cultivation be better than her ten years.

In the next big competition three years later, he must win the first place.

After being suppressed by Zhao Lingjun for so long, he has to be on top once.

In the imperial study room, Emperor Xia stroked his chin, looked Lin Xiu up and down, and asked, "Are you confident to win the second place in the Grand Competition?"

Lin Xiu shook her head and said, "No."

Emperor Xia said angrily, "What a fart without you!"

Lin Xiu smiled embarrassedly and said, "People always have dreams, what if they come true?"

Emperor Xia thought for a while, and decided to spend more money to help him arrange the marriage. If he really won the second place in the Grand Competition, it would be a hundred times and a thousand times the reward for the court.

This deal is sure to make a profit.

He nodded and said: "Okay, I will promise you, if you win the second place in the competition, I will give you three chances to bestow marriage."

It is inevitable that he will not admit it when the time comes, Lin Xiudao: "Your Majesty, do you want to make a written statement for the minister?"

Emperor Xia was also straightforward, and quickly asked Zhu Jin to polish the ink, write a few lines, and stamp it with a seal.

After a while, Lin Xiu took the paper and left the imperial study happily.

He promised Ning'er that Emperor Xia would give her a marriage, and he also settled Qin Wan's matter by the way, and also settled his worries, and now he only has to wait half a year for him to fulfill his promise.

Putting away the papers, he walked towards the harem.

Now that you're in the palace, let's go sit down with the imperial concubine.

She didn't even come to see him compete today.

When she came to the Changchun Palace, Lin Xiucai knew that it was the spirit pet who was sick.

The spiritual pet was given to the imperial concubine by her mother before she died. The imperial concubine regarded it as extremely important. It has been in a coma since last night.

The imperial concubine looked anxious, and when Lin Xiu walked over, she hurriedly said, "Lin Xiu, come and see, what's wrong with my daughter?"

Lin Xiu walked over quickly, took the little guy from Shuangshuang's arms, and found that it was motionless with its eyes closed. Lin Xiu sent healing power into its body, but there was no response.

However, Lin Xiu felt a kind of power from its body, which was exactly the same as the power in his body.

That is the power of thunder.

Lin Xiu froze for a moment, is this little guy about to wake up?

In this world, it's not just humans who can use special abilities. Some strange beasts can also breathe fire and water, fly through the ground, etc. Could it be that the awakened ability of the little guy is thunder?

Lin Xiu stretched her hand into her bosom, secretly took out a Yuanjing of a first-order alien beast from the portable space, and put it into its mouth.

Click!

The sleeping little guy subconsciously crushed the Yuanjing, and Lin Xiu felt the power in it grow stronger again.

Yuanjing can help human beings practice, and it can also help beasts awaken and evolve.

Lin Xiu simply took out a handful of Yuanjing and fed it one by one, only to hear the sound of "click, click", and after a while, the little guy in his arms opened his eyes, the eyes were as dark as jewels, Shining silver.

It left Lin Xiu's arms, flew into the air, opened its mouth, and spit out a thunderbolt, hitting the ground to create a charred black crater.

Both the imperial concubine and Shuangshuang were taken aback, Lin Xiu explained: "Your Majesty, don't be afraid, it just awakened its natural ability, which is normal."

After eating more than a dozen Yuanjing, the little guy became lively again. Curious about its abilities, it flew around in the air, spitting out a few thunderbolts from time to time.

The commotion it caused shocked even several female officials in the harem.

The three female officials came to Changchun Palace and looked at the spiritual pet in the sky vigilantly.

Lin Xiu glanced at the little guy, and it seemed to have done something wrong, and it flew into the arms of the imperial concubine again, looking cute.

But in any case, an awakened beast appeared in the harem, which would pose a great threat to the safety of the concubine. It used to be just a cat with wings, but now it can no longer be regarded as a spiritual pet treat.

After a while, Emperor Xia, who got the news, hurried to Changchun Palace.

A female official said: "Your Majesty, this spiritual pet just spit thunder, it is very dangerous, for the safety of the imperial concubine and other empresses, it can no longer be left in the harem."

The imperial concubine hugged her spiritual pet tightly, and said, "Wherever my daughter is, my palace will be there."

Emperor Xia fell into deep thought. He knew the significance of this spiritual pet to Mingzhu, but it was indeed inappropriate to leave a strange beast in the harem. Even if he agreed, the empress, concubine Xian, and other concubines would have objections.

He thought for a while, and said: "The imperial concubine is not feeling well. I will allow her to go out of the palace to rest for a period of time. Zhu Jin, ask someone to tidy up a separate courtyard of the royal family, and the servants of the Changchun Palace will move with the imperial concubine. Other hospital, besides, let the imperial hospital send out two imperial doctors to go to the other hospital together to take care of the empress, and move back to Changchun Palace when the imperial concubine is in better health..."

The imperial concubine was overjoyed when she heard the words, and said: "Is... Your Majesty's true?"

Xia Huangdao: "You are not joking, you should take good care of your illness first, and other things will be done later."

In addition to the palace, the royal family also has some other courtyards in the capital. Sometimes, they will be rewarded to meritorious ministers. Sometimes, the emperor himself will go out to live in the palace for a few days. Living in the palace, no matter whether it is an official in the court or other concubines, they have nothing to say...

Lin Xiu didn't expect that the little guy's breakthrough just gave Emperor Xia a more sufficient reason.

There was a lot of movement in the Changchun Palace just now, the maids of various palaces wandered around the gate of the Changchun Palace, and soon learned that the imperial concubine was about to leave the palace.

In Yongning Palace, the queen frowned slightly when she heard this, and said, "How decent is it for a noble concubine of a country to live outside the palace?"

After a while, she came to the imperial study room, put a bowl of ginseng soup on the table, and said: "Your Majesty, as the master of the harem, I feel that it is a bit inappropriate for your majesty to let the noble concubine out of the palace. After all, she is a noble concubine, but she lives Outside the palace, not only is there no guarantee of safety, but I'm afraid it will also attract criticism..."

Emperor Xia said: "The noble concubine is in poor health, the harem is too oppressive, it is not suitable for her to recuperate from her illness, I let her live outside the palace for a while, when her body recovers, she will return to the palace."

The Empress wanted to do more, but Emperor Xia said: "I will go to bed in Yongning Palace tonight, the Empress should go back to the palace and get ready."

When the queen heard this, she was overjoyed.

At this moment, the matter of the imperial concubine leaving the palace was immediately forgotten by her.

Although she is a queen, she is also a woman, eager to gain her husband's favor, His Majesty may not come to her Yongning Palace once a month, she looks forward to His Majesty's coming every day, in case he is displeased and changes her mind, she It's too late to regret...

The noble concubine can leave the palace as soon as she leaves the palace, she can leave the palace as soon as she wants, and it's none of her business to stay as long as she wants...

She blushed slightly, and said: "Then, the concubine has returned to the palace to take a bath, and the concubine is waiting for His Majesty in Yongning Palace."

The empress left the imperial study in a hurry, the imperial concubine came out from behind a pillar, looked at Emperor Xia, and said apologetically, "Thank you, brother, for making you difficult..."

Xia Huangchang sighed, and said: "There is no way, if I don't do this, how can she let it go..."

He said so, but he was already looking forward to it in his heart.

In fact, the reason why he neglected the queen was more because of his dissatisfaction with the Zhang family.

But in fact, during the day she is a dignified and virtuous empress, but at night she is a captivating vixen. Few people can resist this contrasting temptation, and he is no exception...

He cleared his throat, temporarily erased the images in his mind, looked at the imperial concubine, sighed, and said, "How did you think about that matter?"

The imperial concubine was silent for a moment, then said: "Let me think about it again."

Emperor Xia walked to the side of the noble concubine and said: "If you are willing, I will buy you a house in the south of the Yangtze River, so that you can live your life freely without any worries, and you will never have to step into this cage-like house again." Deep in the palace..."

The noble concubine breathed a sigh of relief, this was indeed the life she expected.

The reason why the decision has not been made is because there are still her relatives in Kyoto.

There is an imperial brother who loves her, and an imperial grandmother who loves her. Although Jiangnan is good, but when she goes to Jiangnan, she will be left alone.

Moreover, in the current capital, there are people she can't bear to part with.

She looked at Emperor Xia and said, "When I make a decision, I will tell Brother Huang."

……

When Lin Xiu walked out of the palace, she was still holding the concubine's spiritual pet in her arms.

The harem is where the concubines live, and no unstable or unsafe factors are allowed to exist. It was having fun, but it was also expelled from the harem.

The imperial concubine still has to pack her things, and she should not be able to move out until tomorrow.

Lin Xiu can only let Lin Xiu take care of it for one night.

It actually awakened the power of thunder. When Lin Xiu practiced in the future, he could actually take it with him, or he could release the thunder himself to help it awaken again.

At that time, it alone will be able to protect the imperial concubine.

After returning to the new house, both Lingyin and Qin Wan couldn't put it down. The little guy is really cute. Under Lin Xiu's teaching, he has a good way of being cute, and he can easily capture the hearts of girls.

Lingyin, Qin Wan, and Qianye Lin all surrounded it, touching it here, pinching it there, and hugging it in turn. The little guy looked at Lin Xiu with help-seeking eyes, and Lin Xiu gave it a look, letting it It lay obediently in Lingyin's arms.

At such a young age, being in the midst of blessings does not know how to be blessed, it does not know how much Lin Xiu envies it...
