Chapter 160 Edges

"Among the disaster relief team, there are only two young talents:

Meng Jian, deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, and Pei Xueqiao, the prime minister's legitimate son."

Qin Minghuang's eyes suddenly widened. It was these two!

Xiaoliu's firm decision was shaken again because the identities of these two people were too sensitive.

The Meng family has been guarding the capital for generations and has deep roots in the imperial guards.

Even her succession to the throne was largely due to the Meng family's unwavering obedience to the late emperor's will and their sworn defense of her legitimate status.

As for Pei Xueqiao, he is the legitimate son of the only prime minister of Fengtai Pavilion and holds an equally important position.

One is a civil official and the other is a military official. No matter which one Zhao Yue is with, her status in the court will immediately undergo earth-shaking changes.

Yinzhe knew Her Majesty the Imperial Sister very well and could tell what she was thinking at a glance.

"Why are you so anxious? They are the ones who have taken a fancy to Zhao Yue."

Huh? Qin Minghuang was stunned. This was different from what she expected.

If these two spread the word that they were going to get married, the door of their house would probably be trampled down. So... they both have their eyes on Xiaoliu?

Of course, it’s not that her Zhao Yue is not good, well... she wasn’t that good before.

But along the way, the boys from the Meng and Pei families probably noticed her cleverness to some extent, and it was inevitable that their impression of her would change.

"Is it that Xiaoliu doesn't like them?"

"Not entirely."

Qin Minghuang looked at the other side with a complaining look, "Can you please finish what you want to say at once?"

"Then Your Majesty, ask someone else?"

"Hurry up and tell me!"

Yinzhe didn't care about that and slowly explained the process.

When talking about Pei Xueqi delivering ginger soup late at night, Qin Minghuang clenched his fists.

Great, what a great Pei family! Their profound family tradition has produced such a prodigal like Meng?

But when I heard that Xiaoliu had refused to let her in and even refused to let her into the backyard, I breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Pei Xueqi only liked Xiaoliu one-sidedly.

"What about Meng Jian?"

"That makes sense. Your Majesty knows what Zhaoyue likes, right?"

Qin Minghuang pursed his lips and then shook his head.

It was only this year that she began to think about paying attention to Zhao Yue.

For many years before, I naturally stopped paying attention to it after being extremely disappointed. It’s no wonder that the child feels resentful.

“She likes things with edges.”

As he spoke, Yinzhe gestured at his abdomen and spoke word by word: "Yes, edges, yes, corners."

Qin Minghuang held his forehead with his hand. It really fits Xiaoliu's personality.

"According to this standard, she's attracted to Meng Jian?"

I have to say, the kid from the Meng family is really good.

A handsome young man, if you don’t tell me where his family comes from, you would think he comes from a scholarly family. As for the angular features... I guess he has some.

"Hey! At first, it was true. Zhao Yue immediately took a liking to the boy from the Meng family, but..."

Yinzhe dragged out the words, "Ever since I found out about the identity of the Meng family, I've kept my distance.

She knew exactly what she wanted and didn't want to get involved in this kind of trouble."

After listening to the whole story, Qin Minghuang felt a little uncomfortable.

The thing she worried about did not happen at all, but her daughter, who was a princess, had to give up her pursuit because of her status.

Forget it, Qin Minghuang sighed. With Xiaoliu’s current temper, she couldn’t do anything about it.

On the other side, after wandering around, Sui Mo led the way and brought people to a palace.

Qin Zhaoyue looked up and saw the three words "Qingwuxuan" engraved in gold in the middle of the plaque.

The brushstrokes are as vigorous as the twisted branches of an old tree, and the deep ink is mottled with moss, vaguely revealing the vicissitudes of time.

The plaque is made of ebony, and the edges are outlined with emerald-colored lacquer lines to create fine bamboo-joint patterns, which implicitly reflects the spirit of the word "Qingwu".

"Is this the Imperial Palace Arsenal? Isn't that a little too ordinary?"

The original body had lived in the palace before she came of age, but she had no memory of this palace.

After all, she had never shown any talent in martial arts since she was a child.

In any martial arts realm, one must strengthen the muscles, bones, qi and blood, which is a very arduous task.

The original person couldn't stand hardship, so he never had the chance to visit the armory.

Before Qin Zhaoyue came, he thought it would be a tall tower, or some high-end thing like a forest of steles, but he didn't expect it to be just an ordinary palace with nothing special about it from the outside.

"It is used to store martial arts techniques. All martial arts techniques in the world come from the inner palace, so many people are interested in this place."

Qin Zhaoyue nodded and understood.

I think the level of those who steal the skills is generally not very high, probably most of them are at the fourth level.

Knowledge monopoly exists in every era, and the more advanced and sophisticated the knowledge is, the more so.

The roads inside the palace are very complicated. Even if ordinary people can get a layout map, it is not easy to find the exact location.

What's the point of creating a unique building? It's better to blend in with the crowd.

"Your Highness, please take out the token."

Qin Zhaoyue did as he was told. The moment he took it out, the gate opened automatically. He looked inside but didn't see anyone.

The seemingly ordinary yard suddenly became more classy.

"Let's go, don't just stand there."

Sui Mo shook his head. "The armory recognizes badges but not people. I can't get in."

Now that she and Mo Zu have been assigned to His Highness, they need to go through the formalities, and there are still some luggage that need to be packed in the palace.

Learning the exercises is not something that can be accomplished overnight, there should be enough time.

"Your Highness, I'll be waiting outside the palace gate."

"Okay, go ahead."

Qin Zhaoyue stepped in on his own and the gate closed automatically.

I looked back and didn't see any mechanism. I thought it was the high-level warrior guarding Qingwuxuan who took action.

The palace structure is not much different, with front and rear halls and side halls.

The lazy afternoon sun slanted over the carved windows of the side hall, and the half-rolled bamboo curtain filtered out tiny golden specks, which fell on the white wide sleeves of the person in the window.

I only saw a silhouette, it should be a woman, and the page of the book was picked up by her white fingertips.

A bird happened to fly over the eaves, chirping with its beak, breaking the silence. The man did not stop moving for a moment.

The door of the side hall was closed, but the door of the main hall was wide open, which meant that people should go inside.

But Qin Zhaoyue turned and moved to the side of the huge window, tilting his head to look inside.

She was indeed a young woman, with untied black hair. A white jade ring adorned the end of her loose black hair, and her wrist swayed slightly as she turned the pages.

The person who could guard here must not be an ordinary person. She must have noticed her arrival. It is possible that the silent opening and closing of the door just now was done by her.

"Hello, beautiful lady, what are you looking at?"
