"It's just... I didn't expect that the emperor would decide on the candidate for the princess like this." Cheng Lingsu hesitated for a moment and then spoke, while carefully looking at Cheng Chongjun's face.
Cheng Chongjun also looked unhappy when he heard this.
He didn't expect this to happen either.
"Emperor clearly had a plan for a long time. That Ye Xiyue was from a humble background and had no powerful family to back her up. Emperor Zun deliberately waited until today. She won the first place in the hunting competition. Even if everyone objected, they had to admit her
Talent and strength. Relying on this, Emperor Zun was able to overcome all opinions and help her sit on the throne of princess."
If Ye Xiyue only has beauty, let alone a princess, even if she is a concubine, she may not be able to get her turn.
In this entire Xingyao, how many women admire the emperor?
But Ye Xiyue has an extremely amazing talent for cultivation.
The most troublesome thing is that she is very good at both spiritual power and alchemy. Today's victory over the well-known Cheng Lingsu is enough for her to become famous and gain a firm foothold.
"She should have been fully prepared a long time ago and made up her mind to step on you to get the upper hand today."
Hearing this, Cheng Lingsu lowered her eyes slightly, covering up the coldness in her eyes.
But Cheng Chongjun has a deep mind and a vicious eye. How can he not see what she is thinking at this time?
He said after careful consideration: "I know that you are very fond of the Emperor. Originally, the position of the princess belonged to you. Who knew that such a change would happen... But don't be sad. There is still one month left before the wedding.
, no one can say what else will happen.”
Cheng Lingsu's eyebrows moved slightly: "Grandpa, what do you mean..."
Cheng Chongjun twitched his lips and looked out the window.
"If she wants to be a princess, it depends on whether she is so lucky."
…
Cheng Lingsu came out of the study and went back to his yard.
She likes to be quiet, so there are not many people left to serve her here, and it is quiet.
Cheng Lingsu returned to the room, sent all the servants away, closed the doors and windows, and then sat down on the bed.
She sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, took a pill, formed a seal with her hands, and mobilized the spiritual power in her body to circulate for a small week.
Realizing that the injuries in her body had recovered a little, she slowly opened her eyes, a rare trace of annoyance flashing across her eyes.
The first stage of the Spiritual Emperor...
I think it was hard for her to break through this barrier, but in real terms, her combat effectiveness is still inferior to other spiritual practitioners of the same level.
Compared with Ye Xiyue, she is even more wrong.
She still clearly remembers what happened in the hunting ground, and scenes kept flashing through her mind.
Everyone can see that Ye Xiyue's true strength is much higher than her superficial level!
She was also a dual cultivator, so she originally thought that even if she couldn't beat Ye Xiyue, she would definitely win in alchemy.
Who knows——
Cheng Lingsu pursed her lips tightly, feeling uncontrollable jealousy welling up in her heart.
In the past, she could be famous throughout Lanling just by relying on her talent of alchemy, but now Ye Xiyue came and instantly made her look dim.
More importantly, even Emperor Zun has a soft spot for Ye Xiyue!
Cheng Lingsu took a deep breath to calm down.
Grandfather was right, there is still one month left, no one knows what else will happen.
She still has a chance.
In addition, Ye Xiyue's mental power seems to be particularly pure...
Thinking of this, a greedy glimmer flashed across Cheng Lingsu's eyes.
