Chapter 140 What kind of buns does the fairy want to eat?

"Meet Fairy Jiang."

Looking at the sword cultivator from the Wanjian Sect in front of him, Xiao Mo bowed politely.

Not far from Xiao Mo, Jiang Qingyi, with a veil on her face, was still just looking at Xiao Mo calmly.

Just like the last time he met her, Xiao Mo felt as if she could see through him completely.

It felt like I had done something too harsh to her.

"Fairy Jiang?" Xiao Mo asked.

"Hmm." After a long while, Jiang Qingyi came back to her senses and walked towards the gate of her Imperial Master's Mansion. "Since Your Majesty is here, if you don't mind, please come in and have a seat."

"Okay."

Xiao Mo followed Jiang Qingyi in.

Wei Xun also wanted to enter the National Master's Mansion, but a sword energy blocked Wei Xun's way.

Wei Xun had no choice but to stand outside the palace.

Although this woman looks cold, most sword cultivators are like that. Besides, she has no grudge against His Majesty, so it is impossible for her to attack His Majesty.

Not long after, the maids in the Imperial Master's Mansion came out one after another, saying that the Imperial Master liked quietness and didn't like so many people in the yard.

In the courtyard of the Imperial Master's Mansion.

Xiao Mo sat next to Jiang Qingyi.

The two people drank tea quietly, keeping a certain distance.

In Xiao Mo's opinion, this female disciple of Wanjian Sect was indeed a bit cold and even seemed to look down on him, the emperor of Zhou.

But it's normal. With the national strength of Zhou State, the Wanjian Sect is willing to accept it as a vassal. In the eyes of many people, this is already a blessing for Zhou State.

And the other party is just indifferent.

Little did they know that some of the more vulgar imperial masters would even have the queen, empress dowager and princess accompany them.

If you want others to look at you in the eye, you, as an emperor, must first take back power and improve the national strength. Only when you become strong will others respect you.

"I wonder why Fairy Jiang thought of placing the Imperial Master's Mansion in the harem?" Xiao Mo asked.

"Nothing, just wanting some peace and quiet. You don't have any concubines in your harem anyway." Jiang Qingyi replied coldly, glancing at Xiao Mo with her sword-like eyes. "I heard that Your Majesty is obsessed with Taoism?"

Xiao Mo smiled and said, "There's nothing to do in the harem anyway, so I might as well read some Taoist scriptures to cultivate my body and mind."

"Yeah." Jiang Qingyi nodded, slightly lifted a corner of her veil, and took a sip of tea.

Xiao Mo wanted to see her face, but unfortunately he saw nothing.

The two fell into silence again, and Xiao Mo felt very awkward staying with her.

"I will not disturb Fairy Jiang for now. If Fairy Jiang needs anything in the future, you can always tell the palace maid." Xiao Mo stood up and planned to go to the Taoist Altar to practice sword. "I will take my leave first."

"I'm a little hungry."

Just as Xiao Mo stood up, a woman's voice came from beside him.

"I wonder what Fairy Jiang would like to eat? I asked the imperial study to make it for Fairy Jiang." Xiao Mo looked at the woman sitting on the stone bench.

Jiang Qingyi thought for a moment and then slowly said, "Do you have any buns?"

"Dumplings?" Xiao Mo was stunned for a moment. "What kind of dumpling would you like to eat, Fairy?"

"Yeah." Jiang Qingyi raised her head and looked directly into Xiao Mo's eyes. "A normal meat bun will be fine. Don't leave in a hurry. Eat with me."

The residence of the Minister of Rites.

At the edge of the Koi Lake, a woman in a white dress picked up the bait and threw it into the lake little by little.

"Sister." Xiaoqing appeared silently behind the woman in the white dress. "The Imperial Master's Mansion in the Zhou Kingdom's harem has been arranged. Jiang Qingyi entered the palace today."

"Yeah." Yan Ruxue nodded, still calmly spreading the bait in her hand.

"Sister, will Jiang Qingyi be kind to Brother Xiao?" Xiaoqing asked worriedly.

"No."

Yan Ruxue shook her head.

"Jiang Qingyi's past experiences destined her to feel awkward when she saw Xiao Mo. She wanted to get closer, but she didn't dare. She even didn't want Xiao Mo to see her true face, even though Xiao Mo had no memory of that life and couldn't recognize her at all.

So in the short term, she will not take action against Xiao Mo."

Xiaoqing: “.”

"Don't worry, she's just a little girl who's a little over three thousand years old." Yan Ruxue turned around, her eyes softly smiling. "After I enter the palace, I'll train her well and teach her how to respect her teacher. This is also my duty as a teacher's wife."

"By the way, Xiaoqing, there is something I need you to check out." Yan Ruxue said.

"Sister, tell me." Xiaoqing asked doubtfully.

"Do you know the emperor of Qin?"

"Sister, are you talking about the King of Qin who is more beautiful than most women in the world?"

"Hehe, he's even more beautiful than any woman." Yan Ruxue raised the corner of her mouth, with an ambiguous look in her eyes. "Who knows if the ruler of Qin is a man or a woman?"

"But even so, sister, is there anything special about her?"

"Xiaoqing, do you know what the Tonggu Holy Body is?" Yan Ruxue asked.

"Of course I know. Some people are born with memories of all their past lives. For such people, cultivation is nothing more than retracing their past paths. This is the Tonggu Saint Body."

Xiaoqing replied.

"But sister, she is now an emperor. After the ancient times, the laws of heaven and earth changed. Unless she resigns the throne, she cannot practice cultivation. If she was truly born with knowledge, she would have resigned the throne long ago and pursued the great way."

"Silly girl." Yan Ruxue stretched out her finger and tapped her sister's eyebrows. "What if I tell you that a long time ago, there was a female emperor who successfully cultivated and even reached the highest realm?"

Xiaoqing was even more confused: "What does this have to do with us?"

"I'm not quite sure either, so I asked you to test it out." Yan Ruxue shook her head and looked into the distance. "This person has been expanding her territory, and she's expanding towards the Zhou Kingdom. I have a feeling she's heading for the Zhou Kingdom."

At the same time, in the Qin Imperial Palace.

In most human dynasties, eunuchs could walk in the front and middle halls of the imperial palace, but to go to the harem, they almost always needed special records and were not allowed to enter the concubines' courtyards without permission.

However, there was not a single eunuch in the Qin imperial palace, only female officials were used.

After attending the morning court, the King of Qin returned to the harem and came to a painting pavilion.

The Queen of Qin had a habit of painting a picture from time to time, putting it in the painting pavilion, and then looking at it in her spare time.

"You all should leave." The King of Qin said to the female officials around him.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The female officials bowed and left.

The King of Qin opened the door and walked into the painting pavilion.

In the painting pavilion, there are many ink paintings hanging on the wall.

And in each of these ink paintings, there is a man.

Moreover, all the men in the painting look the same.
