"My father has so many daughters, but he may not necessarily let me go. I really don't know what my mother and concubine are worried about." Emperor Xueling said disapprovingly.
"Xue Ling, you must not be careless, the mothers and concubines of the other emperor's daughters are not simple people.
They all definitely want to protect their daughters, and the final result depends on the methods of the imperial concubines.
If you don't cooperate well with the imperial concubine, you will probably be the one sent to the Demon Realm in the end."
Meng Qingqing is not being alarmist. The imperial concubines who can enter the harem are not simple people.
Most of them have considerable backgrounds, and only a few of them got to where they are today on their own.
No matter what the background of these imperial concubines is, how simple can a woman who can establish a firm foothold in the harem be?
If you are careless, you may become a victim of harem fighting.
Xueling's father had always ignored the fights between his children. After all, it was not surprising if there was too much of anything.
Unlike the Xinghe Immortal Emperor who only had one son, Xueling's father Ice Emperor did not have too many children.
There are adults, minors, and those waiting to be born, totaling more than forty.
He is one of the most prolific immortal emperors among the great immortal emperors.
"It shouldn't be so unlucky." Xue Ling muttered, but at least the unconcerned expression on her face disappeared.
Because she was feeling depressed, Xue Ling walked to the edge of the deck and looked at the scenery on both sides of the river bank.
Although the scenery is beautiful, Xue Ling, as an emperor's daughter, has never seen any kind of beautiful scenery, and these scenery cannot move her.
This nonchalance remained until a figure came into her eyes.
"That girl..." Xue Ling looked at the woman standing in the river, with a hint of suspicion in her eyes.
"What's wrong? Who did you see?" Meng Qingqing walked to Xueling curiously and followed her line of sight.
I saw a female fairy who was as beautiful as the goddess of the Nine Heavens standing in the river and looking up at the fireworks in the sky.
The woman was bathed in the starlight, and her whole body was as beautiful as a real person.
Like the ancient immortal gods who came from distant legends.
Meng Qingqing's eyes flashed with surprise, "This female fairy is very beautiful. I don't know which family she is from, but I have never heard of her before."
"I don't know why, but I always feel like I've seen her face before somewhere." Princess Xue Ling bit her lips and tried hard to recall something, but she couldn't remember anything.
Where on earth was she? Where on earth had she seen this face?
Logically speaking, she would never forget such a beautiful face.
"Have you seen it? Where?" Meng Qingqing didn't take Xue Ling's words too seriously and asked casually.
"I don't remember either. Deep in my memory, I always feel that I have seen this face before." Xue Ling frowned, but she couldn't recall the memory of this face.
"If he looks familiar to you, he may be a close relative of the emperor." Meng Qingqing guessed.
After all, if Xue Ling feels familiar, he must have seen it before. Xue Ling stayed in the imperial palace most of the time.
Most of the things that looked familiar to her were seen in the imperial palace.
Moreover, a long time must have passed. If not for the passage of time, Xue Ling would not have only a vague impression of this girl.
"I think that's not the case." Xue Ling shook her head.
She didn't spend too much time reminiscing. This incident was just a small episode. If she couldn't remember it, she was too lazy to think about it again.
Seeing a gorgeous flower boat sailing past, Xu Tao couldn't help but sneeze.
"How many flowers are there on this boat? It smells so fragrant." Xu Tao rubbed her nose and continued to touch the river mussels with her head lowered.
She used to be a young lady on the boat watching others work hard to make money, but she fell into decline as soon as she arrived in the fairy world.
She was on the boat before and now she is off the boat. Alas, her life has been full of ups and downs.
…
Before they knew it, Xu Tao and Pei Yi spent a whole day in the river.
During this day, the two caught a number of fish, including twenty-eight river mussels, sixty crabs, and forty river shrimps.
The harvest is pretty good.
Because river mussels are really hard to find, and the people around them are in similar situations.
So far, no more than fifty river mussels have been found.
After a busy day, Xu Tao was no longer interested in fishing for river clams.
Pei Yi was still very interested.
Xu Tao took the river mussel and planned to find a place to open it first to see if there were any star beads inside.
Pei Yi also followed, but the two of them had already agreed that after selling the mussels, Pei Yi would continue to stay here to fish for mussels, while Xu Tao would go shopping around.
As for the river mussels the two of them caught together just now, Xu Tao planned to keep a few to try and give the others to Pei Yi, and he would keep all the money from the sale.
Anyway, Xu Tao is not bad at this point.
Besides, Pei Yi did contribute a lot just now, so he should be given the lion's share of the effort.
The two of them each took a river mussel and used a knife to easily cut open the river mussel. They cut open the mussel ten times in a row but did not find a single one with a star bead.
Sure enough, finding the Star Bead is not an easy task.
Xu Tao didn't have high hopes, but she didn't feel disappointed either.
The two of them cut open all twenty-eight river mussels in a row, and there was only one star bead out of so many river mussels.
This was the result of their overwhelming luck. Normally, even if someone opens a thousand river mussels, they may not be able to see even one star bead.
This star bead is indeed rare.
Xu Tao kept five portions of mussel meat and gave the rest to Pei Yi to sell.
Unexpectedly, when Pei Yi took it to sell, the man who collected the mussels told him that the price of the opened mussels would be cut in half.
In other words, each of these river mussels can only be sold for five hundred immortal jade!
Xu Tao and Pei Yi could only touch their noses to recognize it.
Originally, people bought river mussels only if they were unopened, and if they had been opened, they could only be sold for some money.
On their way back to the Moonlight Fairy Selection Venue, the two of them passed by the small stall selling candy again.
The old man selling candy is still there, and there are not many candies missing in his stall. It seems that they have not been sold.
From time to time, interested children stopped around the stall.
After asking how to exchange candies, many parents left with their children, while other parents stayed only to bargain.
After bargaining to no avail, I could only leave disappointed.
"Let's go, let's go. This candy is too expensive. This is almost like robbery."
"Although I don't lack those star beads, I have no interest in being taken advantage of."
The last two parents with children also took their children away, and the small stall suddenly became empty.
Xu Tao walked to the stall and looked at the old man curiously, "Senior, is there anything special about your candy? Why do you have to exchange it for star beads?"
Is there really something special about this candy that can only be exchanged for star beads?
"Little girl, I want to know. If you exchange it for the Star Bead, you will know." The old man raised his eyes lightly, and his eyes fell precisely on Xu Tao's clenched right hand.
Sorry everyone, the author has been infected with bacteria and has been lying in bed for three days. All the posts he has posted in the past few days are from the previous stock. The saved manuscripts are enough to last the next day. If the update is stopped the day after tomorrow, it means that the author is still lying in bed with bacteria.
I can’t get up from bed, so there’s no need to rush. Didn’t the author’s bacteria relapse during the last surgery? His own immunity is weak, so he will probably recover more slowly than ordinary people. I originally wanted to save more before the surgery at the end of the month.
As for the manuscript, it was set to automatically upload during the operation. As a result, the plan was disrupted. I hope to get better soon. It is really uncomfortable. The author will have surgery at the end of the month.
