"Fourth sister-in-law, I don't have that many tricks up my sleeve. I'm just a straightforward person. Now that you've embarked on the path of cultivation, you must participate in the autumn hunt."
"Autumn hunting is dangerous; one wrong move and your life could be in danger!"
“Even if you have a guardian nanny by your side, there may be times when she can’t protect you. But if you stay with your sister-in-law, she will definitely be able to protect you!”
Irgen Gioro's words were truly heartfelt. And her behavior perfectly embodied that of a noble person who had transcended base desires, acting not for personal gain but solely for the benefit of others.
Such is the nature of humanity; even a saint would be no different!
Rong Xi looked at the serious-looking Yiergen Gioro clanswoman and couldn't believe in her heart that she could have such a saintly heart. However, she couldn't say it out loud, and she couldn't show it on her face either.
As Irgen Gioro said, autumn hunting is very dangerous; one wrong move and your life is in danger.
The First Princess Consort is almost at the Nascent Soul stage, and her guardian nanny is almost certainly already at that level. If I were to offend the First Princess Consort terribly, and she were to cause me trouble during the autumn hunt, wouldn't I be in deep trouble?
"Sister-in-law, this is no longer necessary!"
After a moment's thought, Rong Xi had a reason and said softly, "Sister-in-law should know that I am currently pregnant. I may not necessarily participate in this autumn hunt!"
"Furthermore, my strength is too low. If I team up with my sister-in-law, it will definitely affect her autumn hunting harvest."
The reasons, well, are quite sufficient!
As a pregnant woman, it was uncertain whether she could even participate in the Autumn Hunt. Even if she did, her cultivation level was too low; she would only be a burden. She didn't want to drag anyone down with her!
Although it's unclear why the Grand Consort approached her, one thing is certain: it's definitely not a good thing.
"In that case, it seems I misunderstood, sister-in-law!"
Upon hearing Rong Xi's words, Lady Irgen Gioro did not insist any further, but instead readily bid farewell and left.
Rong Xi saw Irgen Gioro off and didn't hear her mention the matter again.
However, after the First Princess Consort made such a fuss, Rong Xi could somewhat understand why the Fourth Prince had sent Granny Rui and Granny Xiang to advance to the Nascent Soul stage. This was in preparation for the upcoming autumn hunt!
The autumn hunt is dangerous. Granny Rui and Granny Xiang were only at the Golden Core stage before, so they might not be able to protect her completely. But if both of them advance to the Nascent Soul stage, and they protect one of her, along with the hidden guards, then the capture will be almost certain.
"They actually wronged the Fourth Prince!"
Rong Xi felt quite ashamed; she had actually been petty.
However, who can blame him when the Fourth Prince is such a scoundrel!
Even though she knew why the Fourth Prince had sent Granny Rui and Granny Xiang to advance to the Nascent Soul stage at this time, Rong Xi still had some questions.
The biggest question is, what exactly did she do to catch the Fourth Prince's attention?
When Ulanara was alive, the Fourth Prince showed her absolutely no special treatment. Was this change in the Fourth Prince because she was pregnant? Or because she suddenly became able to practice Buddhism? Or perhaps, because of her transformation?
As a transmigrator, Rong Xi, having usurped someone else's place, couldn't afford to reveal her true nature.
I wouldn't dare!
Once it's confirmed that she isn't actually from the Ulanara clan, then what awaits her is absolute annihilation. This isn't the Qing Dynasty of history; this is a world where cultivation is possible.
Flying through the sky and escaping into the earth, immortals and gods all exist.
In such a time and space, in such a Qing Dynasty, no matter what kind of time traveler you are, the most realistic thing to do is to keep a low profile.
"master!"
As Rong Xi was deep in thought, the magpie appeared at the door and spoke softly.
"What's up?"
Rong Xi turned her head and looked over, speaking softly.
"Jiang Zi is here! She seems to have recovered!"
The magpie spoke softly. Seemingly realizing that its previous words and actions had displeased Rong Xi, the magpie became extremely cautious at this moment.
"Really? Let her in!"
A slight look of joy appeared on Rong Xi's face.
Jiang Zi is a mutated stone spirit body formed from the earth element of the Five Elements. Once the transformation is complete, Jiang Zi's future achievements will be limitless.
Having received Rong Xi's instructions, the magpie vanished instantly, only to return shortly afterward, its crimson fur trembling with trepidation.
"This servant, Jiangzi, greets the Princess Consort!"
"No need for formalities, please rise!"
Rong Xi's gaze fell on Jiang Zi, and she felt that Jiang Zi's aura was quite strange. For a moment, she couldn't even sense Jiang Zi's presence.
This is the Stone Spirit Body. Once activated, it makes one as solid as a rock. It is only visible to the naked eye; spiritual sense cannot detect its existence.
Unless one uses their spiritual sense to specifically target and examine a particular area in detail, it is impossible to distinguish between a stone spirit and a real rock.
Of course, this is only one characteristic of the Stone Spirit Body. The Stone Spirit Body can cultivate earth-attribute techniques and evolve them into Stone Spirit techniques exclusive to the Stone Spirit Body.
Although it has only a single attribute, in actual combat it is like a cultivator with dual attributes, able to cast two different types of spells, making it quite troublesome.
"Not bad, your Stone Spirit Body is now fully formed!"
"Do you feel any discomfort or discomfort in any part of your body?"
Rong Xi stared at Jiang Zi for a long while before slowly speaking.
"Reporting to Madam, this servant is well! However, I still have some difficulty controlling the stone spirit energy within my body, and occasionally, I accidentally petrify some things!"
"It's alright, everything will be fine once you get used to it!"
Rong Xi didn't care about the petrified matter.
"Reporting to Your Highness, this servant accidentally... petrified one of the old women in the courtyard!"
Jiang Zi waited until Rong Xi finished speaking before replying.
"..."
Hearing Jiang Zi say this, Rong Xi was also unable to remain calm. This girl's Stone Spirit Body was actually this terrifying! Damn it, she could actually petrify a living person, and unintentionally at that? Really?
Rong Xi stared intently at Jiang Zi, and slowly asked, "Who was the person you petrified?"
"Yes, it's Granny Leng!"
Granny Leng was Ulanara's former tutor, and it was Granny Leng who taught Ulanara the proper etiquette. When Ulanara lived in the Prince's Residence, her dowry members caused a lot of trouble.
After Rong Xi left the palace to establish her own residence, she received a report from Granny Leng.
She dealt with almost everyone, and after compensating for all the losses, Granny Leng became just an ordinary nanny in the courtyard. It was Granny Leng who reported Jiang Zi for being "forced" by Zeng, the wet nurse of the Ulanara clan.
In a sense, Granny Leng was kind to Jiang Zi.
If Jiang Zi truly petrified Leng Mama unintentionally, then everything is fine. But if Jiang Zi did it intentionally, then if she cannot provide a reasonable explanation...
Rong Xi would never dare to keep Jiang Zi by her side.
Who would dare trust or give important responsibilities to someone who repays kindness with enmity?
