Douluo's sword breaks the void

"Then I'll go back and talk to Grandpa and ask him to prepare the herbs, and then I'll deliver them to your house." Dugu Yan said sternly.

"When will you come over?" Xue Wuchen asked.

"I don't know about that. It depends on whether my grandfather is here. If he is, I can send it to you tomorrow." Dugu Yan responded.

Xue Wuchen nodded and said: "Okay. If I am not in the house when you come, you can just leave it to the housekeeper."

As he spoke, the waiter brought the food.

There are nine meats, three vegetables and one soup, as well as three pots and one pound of peach blossom wine.

Mainly because Yu Xiong is there, these are really not many.

......

After lunch, Xue Wuchen took Shui Bing'er and her sisters out for a stroll and didn't return home until evening.

As soon as he entered the door, the housekeeper of Beiwang Mansion greeted him.

"Your Highness, the empress is here. She asked you to take Miss Shui to the back garden."

Until the end, her eyes kept circling on Shui Bing'er sisters, as if there were uncertainties.

Seeing this, Xue Wuchen immediately noticed something strange.

He has been busy at the Royal Academy during this time and rarely even returns home.

But today, I have free time to go shopping, and I also bring two beauties with me, which seems a bit unexpected no matter how you look at it.

In this case, the housekeeper would naturally report it to Xue Wuchen's mother.

Turning to Shui Bing'er, Xue Wuchen said helplessly: "Bing'er, come with me!"

"Yes." Shui Bing'er nodded, and then followed Xue Wuchen to the back garden.

She knew very well that Xue Wuchen's mother came to her at this time simply because of the relationship between the two of them.

But for her, this situation will have to be faced sooner or later.

If she didn't even dare to meet Xue Wuchen's mother, what would she do if she went to meet Xue Wuchen's father, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tiandou Empire, in the future?

In a pavilion in the back garden, in addition to Xue Wuchen's mother Lan Ning, there is also a little girl about ten years old, Xue Wuchen's sister, Xue Ke.

"My son pays homage to his concubine mother."

"A commoner's daughter has seen the imperial concubine."

Xue Wuchen and Shui Binger saluted one after another.

"No courtesy." Lan Ning smiled and signaled, "Come and sit down."

Xue Wuchen reached out and took Shui Bing'er's hand and walked forward, asking her to sit opposite Lan Ning, while he himself sat next to Lan Ning.

As soon as the two sat down, Xue Wuchen found that his sister was staring at Shui Bing'er with a strange look in her eyes, as if she regarded Shui Bing'er as an enemy.

"Little girl, what are you doing?"

After being shouted at by Xue Wuchen, Xue Ke closed her eyes and then snorted coldly at Xue Wuchen, indicating that she was very unhappy now.

It was obvious that she was just worried that her place in her brother's heart would be taken away.

Xue Wuchen smiled awkwardly and introduced: "This is my sister Xue Ke. She is young, so don't be as knowledgeable as her."

Shui Bing'er nodded slightly, then saluted Xue Ke.

After all, she is an imperial princess, so she cannot lose her etiquette.

What's more, it's still in front of Xue Wuchen's mother.

"It's too stuffy here, I'm going to take a walk." As the saying goes, out of sight is out of mind. Xue Ke didn't want to stay any longer and immediately stood up and left the pavilion.

Seeing her look like this, Lan Ning began to regret it.If she had known this, she should not have brought Xue Ke here.

Xue Wuchenling picked up the teapot and refilled Lan Ning's cup of tea, and said casually: "Why didn't you tell me in advance when you came, and I made you wait for so long in vain."

"On a whim, I wanted to come over and take a look." Although Lan Ning was talking to Xue Wuchen, her eyes were always locked on Shui Bing'er, making Shui Bing'er feel uncomfortable.

"Who are you looking at? Are you looking to see your son or your future daughter-in-law?" Xue Wuchen joked.

Hearing this, Lan Ning was stunned for a moment. She originally planned to cross-examine him, but she didn't expect that Xue Wuchen didn't ask himself.

Lan Ning picked up the tea cup and took a sip, reorganized her thoughts, and then asked: "Since you have already decided, it is not good for the mother-in-law to say anything more."

After saying that, she turned her attention to Shui Bing'er and asked, "Do you know everything about Princess Bei's assessment?"

"Your Highness has told me." Shui Bing'er directly put the credit on Xue Wuchen.You can't say that she found it secretly!

"That's good." Lan Ning pondered for a moment, and then said: "In this way, every weekend from now on, you come to the palace, and I will have someone teach you some knowledge in this area."

Regarding Shui Bing'er's information, Lan Ning had already found out before she came.

Possessing the top martial soul Ice Phoenix, he is a 14-year-old, level 43 control-type battle soul master with a gentle, sensible and smart mind.

Even leaving aside the five-level soul power increase from the fairy herb, her talent is considered genius-like in the world of soul masters.

Such an outstanding girl is indeed qualified to accept Princess Bei's assessment.

As for Shui Bing'er's origin, this is not a problem at all.

On her parents' terms, the Empire could grant her nobility at any time if they wished.

"Then there is Concubine Lao Mu."

Xue Wuchen also planned to let Shui Binger go to the palace to learn some relevant knowledge from his mother.

It's fine now, there's no need for him to open this mouth.

"Do your parents know about your affairs?" Lan Ning asked Shui Bing'er.

"We only confirmed our relationship yesterday. My parents were out on business and didn't know yet." Shui Bing'er responded.

"Then what do they think about this matter?" Lan Ning continued to ask.

Given Xue Wuchen's status, I believe many parents would not refuse this marriage.But there will be exceptions.I'm sure Shui Bing'er's parents are among this exception.

"They shouldn't object." Shui Bing'er's tone didn't sound so confident, but she was very sure in her heart, otherwise her parents would not have allowed her sister to live in Beiwang Mansion.

After all, her sister's intentions were so clear.He was going to Xue Wuchen.Her parents are not fools, of course they can tell.

"Then when will they come back?" Lan Ning asked.

Shui Bing'er turned to look at Xue Wuchen, as if asking for help.

Because her father only told her that she was going out to do errands for Xue Wuchen. Her father did not explain where exactly she was going.

"They just went out yesterday and it should take about ten days to come back." Xue Wuchen responded.

Lan Ning said calmly: "Then when they come back, remember to have someone inform the mother and concubine, so that you can also ask for their opinions."

"Okay. I'll take note of it," Xue Wuchen nodded.

Lan Ning looked at the setting sun and asked casually: "You just came back, you probably haven't eaten yet."

"Not yet." Xue Wuchen shook his head.

"That's just right. My mother and concubine haven't had dinner in your house for a long time. Let's go have dinner with my mother and concubine."

Lan Ning originally wanted to leave Xue Wuchen and have a one-on-one chat with Shui Bing'er and get to know each other in depth, but it was their first meeting and it didn't seem good.

Anyway, it's still a long time, so don't worry.
