"What do you think of this painting, Master's wife?"

Kong Ju was shocked when he heard this, and before he even glanced at the scroll, he was already brewing words of praise in his mind.

However, when he saw the portrait clearly, all his flattery disappeared instantly, and a hint of sneer and surprise appeared on his face.

The painting depicts a young man holding a ferocious bow fighting with a young general in armor.

The young man holding the bow had cold eyes and a sharp edge. He shot an arrow, which hit the armored young general in the chest.

Isn’t this the scene when Kong Ju fought with Jing Yushou not long ago?

Every detail is depicted just right, and the temperament of Kong Ju and Jing Yushou seems to come alive in this portrait.

The sharpness of the arrow was so lifelike that it seemed to be shooting out through the scroll.

If Princess Qing hadn't seen it in person, Kong Ju wouldn't have believed it.

"It turns out that the Master's wife was already at the scene."

Kong Ju gave a bitter smile and swallowed the compliments that were about to come out of his mouth. He smiled awkwardly and replied, "Master's wife, I don't understand painting, but it obviously looks good."

Princess Qing's intention was obviously not on the painting. She looked at Kong Ju, not hiding her admiration, and praised him, "You handled it well. The Cangwu Sect is already the number one sect in Wudong. Now that you have come to Tianqi Imperial City, you must not lose face for your master."

"That was a good shot."

Bai Xiangming looked a little strange after hearing this.

Although he and Jing Yushou don't get along, he is still a member of Tianqi after all.

My aunt is also a member of the royal family, so why does it feel like she is being disloyal?

But he didn't dare to say anything and could only smile apologetically.

Kong Ju and Shangguan Yuzhou's eyes lit up. Princess Qing's words undoubtedly made her position clear.

Kong Ju had been worried that his master's wife would be caught in a dilemma because of the conflict between Cangwu Sect and Tianqi.

There is no worry at all at the moment.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "As expected of Huangfu Ying's Taoist partner! Not simple!"

He also understood why his master had told him before taking him away that he could turn to his master's wife if he encountered any difficulties.

In Tianqi, my master's wife can be considered a supporter.

Princess Qing seemed to have something else to say and glanced at Bai Xiangming with her gentle eyes.

The latter immediately bowed tactfully and said, "Aunt, please chat slowly. I'll be waiting in the main hall."

In fact, Bai Xiangming was also relieved. If it weren't for the second prince, he really didn't want to come.

Princess Qing looks dignified and elegant at the moment.

The legends about her youth are still circulating within the royal family, and even her own father, Prince Qingluan, has to give her some distance when he sees her.

There was no outsider like Bai Xiangming present.

Kong Ju and Shangguan Yuzhou were obviously much more at ease.

Huangfu Wuqin, who had been silent all this time, wrinkled her nose with both hands on the jade table and complained to her mother: "Since I came to Tianqi, I have been followed by people. I am afraid I will never have a peaceful life in the future. Mother, I will run away tonight."

Princess Qing didn't even turn her head, she counted on her fingers and said, "Has your uncle paid his respects? Besides, as a princess, it would be disrespectful for you not to pay your respects to the emperor when you come to the imperial city."

"Then Jing Yushou's mother, your aunt Anyang, sent someone to ask to see you a long time ago. And my brothers and sisters, as a junior, you can't refuse these."

When a series of names of royal relatives were spoken, Huangfu Wuqin's mouth was already open, and his eyes were full of pity.

"No way, mother. I have more than seventy aunts and uncles combined."

"You won't let me meet them all."

In fact, the only person who has the same father and mother as Princess Qing is Prince Qingluan, and he is closest to Huangfu Wuqin.

Huangfu Wuqin had never seen most of the other uncles, aunts, cousins, and so on, and couldn't even call out their names.

"You are your father's only daughter. Do you think you are going there only as a princess?"

Princess Qing's tone was calm, yet unquestionable.

"Don't let them find fault with you and look down on your Huangfu family."

Princess Qing emphasized the three words "Huangfu Family".

Huangfu Wuqin finally pursed his lips and gave up struggling.

Kong Ju and Shangguan Yuzhou listened silently to the conversation between the mother and daughter, not daring to interrupt.

Until Princess Qing looked at Kong Ju and asked meaningfully, "Does Master's painting look good?"

"It looks good!" Kong Ju'an had the courage to say it was not good-looking.

"If you like it, I'll give it to you."

"Thank you, Master's wife!"

The two of them were asking and answering questions, and Princess Qing suddenly asked, "Don't you have anything to give to Master's wife?"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Kong Ju was wondering why Princess Qing suddenly asked about painting again.

She reacted immediately, took out the jade pendant that Huangfu Ying had given her before he left, and handed it respectfully to Princess Qing.

"Master's wife, this is a token from Master."

Princess Qing nodded with satisfaction and took it.

As the jade pendant was taken out, she looked at Kong Ju with a different look in her eyes, more friendly than before, and admonished:

"As the undercurrents of the Tianqi Dynasty are turbulent, you should not get involved. Avoid it if you can. You and Shangguan Yuzhou have the identities of the Cangwu Sect. As long as you stay away from this vortex, there will be no big problems."

"Your battle with Jing Yushou today can also shock some people. But there is no way to completely prevent such a situation."

"You just need to remember one thing, don't kill yourself, and I will keep you safe."

What Princess Qing said was exactly the same as what Lei Zun said, and Kong Ju and Shangguan Yuzhou quickly agreed.

At the same time, I felt more confident.

The four of them chatted for a while, and the topic of course revolved around what they had seen and heard along the way.

"Master's wife, I have something to report!"

Kong Ju's face suddenly turned serious, and he recounted the several terrifying visions they had seen in the wilderness.

Shangguan Yuzhou and Huangfu Wuqin added more information from time to time.

When talking about the giant snake in the Black Mountain, the strange claws in the volcano, and the short-lived water mountain, Princess Qing frowned slightly.

That alone would be fine.

After a short rest and hesitation, Kong Ju told all the prophecies about the Gujiang prophet that he had heard from his father-in-law Qiaoqiao.

Among the three regions of Wudong, Tianqi and Yunmo, which one has the most profound understanding of Gujiang?

Naturally, it must be Tianqi, who has a feud with Gujiang.

Upon hearing the prophet's name, Princess Qing looked extremely serious.

No one knows better than the Tianqi royal family how troublesome the prophet of Gujiang is.

The several setbacks suffered by the Tianqi Dynasty in the past hundred years were all due to the shadow of the prophet.

"The prophet of Gujiang is indeed magical, and most of his predictions have come true." Princess Qing had a look of deep fear on her face, and she also felt the thorniness of the matter.

"Since he said something like a great change that will happen thousands of years in a century, and he also contacted the tribes of Gujiang and went deep into the Great Wilderness, I'm sure he was not doing it without a purpose. I'm afraid something big is really going to happen in the Great Wilderness."

Princess Qing was feeling a little anxious, as the Tianqi Dynasty was currently experiencing the most intense internal strife in a hundred years.

The Cangwu School had just become the number one school in Wudong, and its foundation was not yet solid.

Such an unexpected change happened at this time.

Whether it is for Tianqi or Wudong, it is a disaster rather than a blessing. (End of this chapter)
