Xue Qingyi was not interested in how the imperial concubine gave birth to Jiang Youer with another man and became an imperial concubine in the palace.
"I have been in the Taoist temple for many years, almost isolated from the world. I have some questions that I would like to ask the Imperial Concubine to answer."
"Just say it." The imperial concubine looked at her.
"I want to know how many daughters the Human Emperor has and where are they now?" Xue Qingyi asked. She was afraid of exposing her identity, so she didn't dare to ask Su Youyao directly, and had to get the information in this roundabout way.
"The Emperor has five daughters in total. The eldest, second and third princesses are already married. The fourth princess will soon marry our dynasty's imperial master. The youngest, the fifth princess, just came back from the world of cultivation a few days ago. I wonder which princess you want to ask about, Rouer?" The imperial concubine was obviously very smart and she figured out her real question at once.
Xue Qingyi raised her eyes slightly, once again witnessing the intelligence of the imperial concubine.
However, what she really wanted to know was whether Su Youyao was in the human world now. The answer was already in her hands, so there was no need to expose it.
So she simply asked about something else that she didn't care about in order to confuse the question.
"When will the fourth princess marry the imperial tutor?"
"The wedding will be held next month." The imperial concubine quickly replied, "Does Rou'er know the Imperial Master?"
"Can the Imperial Concubine meet me? Perhaps, I know the Fourth Princess." Xue Qingyi asked back.
"Rou'er is now a cultivator with such powerful abilities. She seems to be on the same side as the Imperial Master."
The Imperial Concubine said, "This Imperial Master is a very famous person. He is a cultivator from the world of cultivation. He is quite handsome, but his temperament is a little cold. However, the Fourth Princess likes him very much. She is determined to marry him. The Emperor is helpless. He thinks that people like the Imperial Master will return to the world of cultivation sooner or later and will never touch the mundane world. But who would have thought that he actually said that he had fallen in love with the Fourth Princess at first sight and was willing to marry her. This created a good story."
Perhaps because of her own experience, she seemed to be quite yearning for this kind of story where lovers finally get married, so she talked a few more words to Xue Qingyi.
Upon hearing this, Xue Qingyi nodded, agreed with just a few words, and didn't ask any other questions.
This made the imperial concubine a little puzzled for a moment.
I originally thought that she was also an admirer of the Imperial Master, so she was asking about this matter, but I didn't expect her reaction to be so cold.
"There is one more thing I would like to ask your majesty for help with." At this time, Xue Qingyi said again.
"Rou'er, aren't your requests a bit too much? Do you think that just because you know You'er is my son, you can order me to do things for you? Perhaps you have underestimated my motherly love for You'er. If I really cared about him more than myself, how could I abandon him and pursue wealth and glory alone?" The imperial concubine frowned and said somewhat displeased.
She was warning Xue Qingyi.
Don't push your luck.
However, Xue Qingyi said directly: "After the matter is done, I can take off the white jade pendant for You'er."
Her words stunned the imperial concubine.
"Your Highness has been with the Emperor for so long, it's impossible that you don't know what this white jade pendant means, right? Not only can I remove the jade pendant for You'er, I can also take him away from the human world and cultivate immortality. Perhaps Your Highness should know how talented You'er is. He has extremely rare spiritual roots. Even I am ashamed of my talent."
Every word of Xue Qingyi's words touched the imperial concubine's heart.
"Okay, I promise you!" Soon, the imperial concubine could no longer say anything to refuse.
"You little kid, you are so cunning. I still don't know what you are going to do!"
After parting with the imperial concubine, Xiao Guan couldn't help but say.
"You don't need to know now. When the time comes, just remember the oath we made to each other and help me honestly." Xue Qingyi replied.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Guan snorted coldly.
Although she was somewhat dissatisfied that she had not been honest with him till now, fortunately she did not ignore him this time.
"You little kid, you're so young, and I don't know what you've been through, but you're so defensive!" He couldn't help but complain again.
This time, Xue Qingyi ignored him again, which made him quite depressed.
But after being depressed for a while, I got used to it.
Xue Qingyi took Jiang Youer's hand and led him out of the palace.
When he got outside, his father was looking for him like crazy.
When Xue Qingyi sent him to his father, this elegant and bookish young man was so anxious that his eyes turned red. But when he saw him, he could not utter a word of blame. He just hugged him tightly as if he were a treasure.
"Daddy, You'er is having a bit of difficulty breathing." Jiang You'er said coquettishly, but actually she was trying to comfort her father.
"I'm sorry, Daddy was too excited." The young man quickly let him go, and then looked at Xue Qingyi gratefully, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, young lady. I haven't asked you your name yet? Thank you very much for finding You'er today."
"My name is Yunrou, and I am from the Prince of Yanping's Palace. It is fate that I meet You'er today."
Xue Qingyi smiled politely and simply recounted the events, omitting the thrilling details. She only said that You'er wanted to see his mother, and then asked, "What's your name, sir?"
"My name is Jiang Pingfeng, and I'm the teacher of the academy. I didn't know that You'er went to the palace today. I'm sorry to have caused you worry." Jiang Pingfeng immediately expressed his gratitude.
At the same time, he lowered his eyes to look at his son and gently touched Jiang Youer's little head.
Jiang Youer grinned at him.
"Mr. Jiang has taught You'er very well. This is what the imperial concubine said before she parted with me just now." Xue Qingyi suddenly said.
"...Thank you, young lady." Jiang Pingfeng was stunned for a moment, then his expression returned to calm.
"It's too late today. I'll visit you another day."
Xue Qingyi said, looking at Jiang Youer, "Youer, come here, I have something for you."
Jiang Youer heard this and looked up at his father.
Jiang Pingfeng smiled slightly and nodded at him.
Jiang Youer then obediently stood in front of Xue Qingyi.
Xue Qingyi just raised her hand.
A golden light suddenly lit up at her fingertips and then poured into Jiang Youer's brows.
"This is called the blessing of the immortals."
Xue Qingyi smiled at him.
When she said this, she actually just sealed a Danshu Fu which contained her own spiritual consciousness in his sea of consciousness.
She continued in a gentle voice, "No matter where you are in the future, if You'er is in danger, this blessing can protect You'er from disaster. At that time, I will be the first to sense it and come to save you."
She paused again and said, "You'er, can you call me Master? When I'm done with my work here, I'll take you to cultivate immortality. Are you willing?"
Jiang Youer's eyes widened immediately when he heard this.
Thinking about what he saw in the palace today, she was so powerful, she subdued such a huge fox demon with just a wave of her hand... and then hearing this, a strong feeling of excitement suddenly emerged on his young face.
"No need."
However, at this moment, Jiang Pingfeng suddenly frowned, changed his previous attitude, and said in a cold and determined tone, "You'er is just an ordinary mortal. He can't cultivate immortality, and he won't become a disciple."
