When Wang Quan heard this, he immediately flattered him: "Of course, Princess Shiran is your Majesty's sister."
This is a disguised way of praising Xiao Zun.
Even though flattery never wears out, Xiao Zun knew Wang Quan was flattering him. But he was happy today, and Wang Quan's praise had touched his heart. So he waved his hand and said, "Come, find the purple jade ring in my treasury and give it to Wang Quan as a reward."
Wang Quan was overjoyed. He had been longing for that purple jade ring for a long time. He never expected that the emperor would give it to him just for his flattery.
Wang Quan's face was so wrinkled with joy that it deepened slightly. Then he spoke many kind words to Xiao Qingran.
As the banquet was coming to an end, the third princess and the fourth princess suddenly had a conflict for some unknown reason.
These two sisters, who usually have a good relationship, actually fought in front of envoys from other countries and people from several major immortal sects.
This caught Xiao Zun off guard.
It also caught the Queen and the Imperial Concubine off guard.
These two people who usually fight openly and secretly no longer hide their dislike for each other and start fighting openly.
Xiao Zun was so angry that he had a headache. He ordered the third and fourth princesses to be taken away, and explained to the public that they were too happy and drunk. He also specifically asked the queen and the imperial concubine to go and take care of them.
For such a large banquet, it wouldn't matter if the Third Princess, the Fourth Princess, or even the Imperial Concubine were not present.
But without the queen, that wouldn't make sense.
But it is very intriguing that the emperor specifically asked the queen to leave.
Everyone smelled something different. The ministers who had been chatting happily with the eldest prince now came to their senses and found excuses to avoid him.
The eldest prince knew that the incident was caused by the third princess, causing his mother to lose face in front of so many people. He was furious, but he appeared calm on the surface. This made Xiao Zun look at him with new eyes.
The next day, Xiao Qingran took Shangguan Jing and Feng Qing to live in the princess's mansion.
The Princess's Mansion and the Fifth Prince's Mansion are only separated by a street.
On the day of moving into the princess's mansion, many people came to congratulate her.
Xiao Jiyuan sent servants from the Fifth Prince's Mansion to help, and together with the palace servants rewarded by Xiao Zun, the entire Princess Mansion had 132 servants.
Although Shangguan Jing also came from a large family, she was not on the same level as the princess's mansion.
She really envied Xiao Qingran, but she also knew that Xiao Qingran was able to have everything she had now because she was relatively outstanding. There were so many princesses in the royal family, and not every princess had her own mansion, let alone a fiefdom.
Take the Third Princess, for example. Although she is also a high-level alchemist and is admired by many, she still doesn't even have a mansion.
Not to mention the other princesses.
"Xiao Qingran, what are your plans for the future?"
Shangguan Jing felt that Xiao Qingran was now a princess of a country and an alchemist, so even if she didn't go out to gain experience, she would definitely have plenty of resources.
If Xiao Qingran wanted to stay in the imperial capital of the Great Xiao Kingdom and no longer go out for training, then she would go back to her master's sect directly.
"Once things stabilize here, we still have to go kill the nightmare beast. I won't stay in the imperial capital for too long. Seven days at most. After seven days, we will leave together."
Princesses of the royal family are usually birds kept in captivity by the emperor.
Useful birds were taken for marriage, and useless ones were randomly paired with ministers. In short, every princess would make the best use of her resources.
But Xiao Qingran would never be a bird in a cage.
It won't be long before her belly becomes noticeable. It would be difficult to explain to the Emperor then. Better to leave soon.
"That's great, Xiao Qingran. I thought that after you became a princess, you would stay in the royal family and would never go on training trips with us again."
Shangguan Jing was so happy that she almost jumped up.
Like in the major immortal sects, there are also some royal children. These people are all arrogant and look down on others. They always think that they are superior to others because they are members of the royal family.
But she didn't see any of the arrogance of being a member of the royal family in Xiao Qingran. Even after being crowned a princess and given a fiefdom, she was still the same as when she first met her.
"I plan to continue my training outside, and then retreat to practice after the baby is born."
Xiao Qingran first told Shangguan Jing that they would separate after the birth of the child. The retreat was fake, and the return to the modern era was real.
"When the time comes, I will also return to the Immortal Sect to practice in seclusion."
Shangguan Jing had no suspicion.
Feng Qing, on the other hand, listened to everything the two of them said.
He had a hunch that Xiao Qingran's retreat was definitely not that simple. But he couldn't explain why he thought so.
The three of them discussed how to deal with the nightmare beasts after returning to the Warcraft Forest. Xiao Qingran suddenly thought of the princes of the other three kingdoms who were still in the Great Xiao Kingdom.
If possible, the four nations could form an alliance and work together to eliminate the Nightmare Beast. It's unclear how long it would take for Huo Li's alliance to kill the Nightmare Beast alone.
If the four empires united, things would be different.
"It just so happens that the princes of the other three empires haven't left yet. Why don't I go there myself and have Yuan'er accompany me to meet them and see if we can form an alliance among the four nations?"
Xiao Qingran's proposal suddenly brightened Feng Qing and Shangguan Jing's eyes: "If we can come to an agreement, that would be great."
Xiao Qingran's obsession with killing the Nightmare Beast wasn't for the sake of the world or any greater good. It was because if it hadn't been for Ah Bai, she might never have woken up. If she died, it would have been three lives lost. She couldn't let such a life-or-death vengeance go unresolved. Furthermore, she needed to improve her strength through experience.
If this matter is handled well, it can also enhance Xiao Jiyuan's reputation and be of great help to his future path.
"Huo Li's help is indispensable to this matter. After all, it was the Huo family that started it. We can't abandon him."
Feng Qing suggested.
Xiao Qingran nodded: "If possible, go and tell him now to come to the capital of the Great Xiao Kingdom immediately. Have him come directly to the Princess's Mansion."
Feng Qing didn't expect Xiao Qingran to be so righteous.
Without wasting a minute, he immediately used his own method to contact Huo Li.
Fire City was still quite far from the capital of the Great Xiao Kingdom. Even using an aircraft, it would take at least half a day to reach it. Feng Qing didn't want Huo Li to miss this opportunity to make friends with the Great Xiao Kingdom because of the distance.
"What can I do? I want to help, too."
Shangguan Jing saw that Feng Qing and Xiao Qingran were both busy, but she was the only one with nothing to do, and she felt a little depressed.
Xiao Qingran patted Shangguan Jing's shoulder and said, "If possible, please inform your sect and ask them to send more experts over once our alliance is formed."
"Okay, I'll find a way to contact the master now."
Shangguan Jing quickly left the princess's mansion.
Xiao Qingran also went to the Fifth Prince's Mansion across the street.
Xiao Qingran told Xiao Jiyuan about her plan.
Xiao Jiyuan was extremely surprised and immediately went to the palace with Xiao Qingran to meet Xiao Zun.
Xiao Zun was very satisfied with Xiao Qingran's idea, and was particularly happy for his own foresight.
