"Congratulations, Master! Congratulations, Master!"
The magpie stopped and spoke with a joyful expression.
Rong Xi was stunned; she was actually pregnant.
At this moment, all she wanted to do was swear!
"Master, I'll go tell the master!"
Before Rong Xi could speak, Magpie instantly transformed into a swift, swift girl, disappearing in the blink of an eye—faster than when she had left crying earlier.
"I……"
Rong Xi sat on the edge of the bed, speechless.
This is a Qing Dynasty where cultivation is possible, but she's a useless person who can't cultivate. To make matters worse, she's pregnant now!
How are we supposed to live like this?
Waiting for an answer online!
Extremely urgent!
Before transmigrating, Rong Xi was quite a tough, strong woman. She had dealt with all sorts of troubles and considered herself a real woman. But now, she realized that her more than twenty years of life experience from her previous life were completely useless.
A Qing Dynasty time-travel story is best experienced through palace intrigue and power struggles!
Why is it that when it's her turn, the way it's done is wrong?
Rong Xi really wanted to ask the great god of time travel why she was being bullied like this.
...
The time-traveling god remained silent, but the Fourth Prince returned.
Yes, he still maintained his aloof demeanor, his gaze towards Rong Xi devoid of any warmth.
"What are you so arrogant about? If you dare to upset me again, I'll teach your kid's son a lesson!"
Rong Xi grumbled inwardly, refusing to listen.
"Give me your hand!"
The Fourth Prince stared at Rong Xi for a long while before speaking in a cold voice.
Rong Xi really wanted to stand up and show the Fourth Prince that he was invincible, but unfortunately, when faced with the aloof and handsome Fourth Prince, Rong Xi chickened out without any backbone and obediently stretched out her hand.
The Fourth Prince extended a finger and placed it on Rong Xi's wrist, intently sensing it.
After a moment, the Fourth Prince withdrew his finger, stared at Rong Xi for a full half minute, and then slowly said, "Take good care of yourself!"
"..."
Rong Xi looked at the Fourth Prince, blinked, and didn't know how to respond.
However, she was clearly deluding herself.
The Fourth Prince left with those words, departing quite gracefully.
"Damn it!"
Rong Xi watched the Fourth Prince's departing figure and angrily raised her middle finger.
She's carrying this child's flesh and blood, and this bastard treats her like this? What does he mean? What does he take her for?
And the magpie, it's also a traitor.
Rong Xi sighed, "How am I supposed to live like this?"
"master!"
The magpie returned, but not alone; it brought two middle-aged women with it.
"This servant greets Your Highness!"
Two middle-aged women stepped forward, bowed to Rong Xi, and paid their respects.
Rong Xi glanced at the two of them and said, "No need for formalities, please stand up and speak!"
"Master, these are what the master arranged for you. This is Granny Rui, and this is Granny Xiang; they are both top experts at the Golden Core Realm!"
"..."
Rong Xi was dumbfounded.
These two are at the Golden Core stage?! Are you kidding me?
Shouldn't cultivators be handsome men and beautiful women? But these two look no different from ordinary middle-aged women, and there's absolutely no indication that they have any cultivation level whatsoever.
Granny Rui was slightly plump and had a prosperous appearance. She always had a cheerful face, but her large, round face was a bit of an eyesore. Granny Xiang, on the other hand, resembled the Fourth Prince somewhat; both were exemplars of cold-facedness.
"Magpie, why don't you help the lady of the house walk around in the courtyard first?"
Granny Rui spoke up with a cheerful smile.
The magpie immediately went to Rong Xi's side and whispered, "Master, let's go for a walk outside!"
Rong Xi didn't object and obediently followed the magpie outside.
Meanwhile, Granny Rui and Granny Xiang, who remained in the room, began to inspect every corner of the room, and in no time, they had cleared out a bunch of small items from the room.
Rong Xi sat on a stone stool in the courtyard, looking through the window at Granny Rui and Granny Xiang searching through the house.
"Magpie, tell me, is it really true that your master can't cultivate?"
“Master, you have the body of five spiritual roots, so you must cultivate all five elements at the same time. There are cultivation techniques available, but you must achieve a balance of the five elements for any minor realm, which requires a massive amount of resources.”
The magpie sighed, "Empress Renxiao was born with five spiritual roots. Even with His Majesty's utmost efforts, the entire Qing Dynasty was unable to protect her."
"If you were to cultivate yourself, you might even pass away before Empress Renxiao!"
"..."
Rong Xi was dumbfounded again, staring at the magpie, and said, "Didn't Empress Renxiao have a difficult childbirth?"
"The difficult childbirth was merely a contributing factor; ultimately, it was due to the imbalance of the five elemental attributes within Empress Renxiao's body during childbirth. Although the Immortal Physician Bureau exerted all its efforts, even resorting to secret prayer techniques, it still could not save Empress Renxiao's life!"
The magpie sighed again, staring intently at Rong Xi, and said, "Master, please don't do anything foolish. Being a mortal isn't so bad, at least you have all sorts of spiritual creatures to nourish your body, keep you young forever, prolong your life, and you can live to be a hundred years old!"
"If you insist on cultivating, it might implicate the young master!"
"master……"
The magpies chattered away, completely unaware that Rong Xi had already drifted off into thought.
Empress Renxiao died in such a way!
Learn from past mistakes!
She too possessed the five spiritual roots, and with examples like Empress Renxiao before her, the fact that she herself had transmigrated meant that the real Ulanara clan member was dead.
So, the question arises: how did Ulanara die?
Could it be that Ulanara has already embarked on the path of cultivation?
Thinking of this, Rong Xi's face turned quite pale.
"Master, what's wrong?"
The magpie finally noticed that something was wrong with Rong Xi.
"master!"
Magpie quickly grasped Rong Xi's wrist and took her pulse.
Rong Xi was caught by the magpie's wrist, which also woke her up from her panic.
"I'm fine! It's just, um, I'm a little sleepy!"
"Granny Rui!"
Upon hearing Rong Xi say she was sleepy, Magpie immediately jumped up and called out to Granny Rui and Granny Xiang, who were still rummaging through things in the room.
"Are you done yet? Master is sleepy!"
"Everything is ready!"
Granny Rui nodded, put away the many small items she had found in the room, and left the room with Granny Xiang, standing outside the door.
With the help of the magpie, Rong Xi entered the house, got into bed, and fell asleep immediately.
She was genuinely tired!
As a former tough and strong woman, Rong Xi still has a very bold personality. After realizing she had no other choice, she stopped wallowing in self-pity.
Regardless of whether Empress Ulanara died because of her spiritual practice, she has arrived, so we must strive to live on. The example of Empress Renxiao is, well, not really that significant.
Everyone has their own destiny!
Empress Renxiao died because her five spiritual roots became unbalanced during her cultivation, but it's not necessarily true that she will die in the same way.
Regardless, she's a transmigrator, and who knows, she might even have that elusive protagonist's destiny. After all, the stories say the protagonist never dies!
But will I be the main character?
