for Advance Chapter
Ten days later, the Ninth Princess returned to the capital city on the Hengtian Flying Boat. Countless residents of the capital city who heard the news rushed out of the city gates to welcome the Ninth Princess' victorious return.
"I heard that the Ninth Princess killed many demon leaders from the Demon Sect in Linhe County!"
"Isn't it true? The Linhe County Magistrate is actually from the Demon Sect. How terrifying!"
"Ah, fortunately we have the Ninth Princess, who is wise, brave, and intelligent. She saw through the Demon Sect's disguise at a glance!"
"I heard that the governor of Linhe County is the Fourth Prince's man?"
"Hush, the Fourth Prince is here!"
Dozens of fine horses galloped out of the imperial city, led by a handsome middle-aged man wearing a gold-thread crown on his head and a jade pendant with a dragon pattern on his waist. He should have been dressed in a very expensive outfit, but he looked rather tired.
"It's the Fourth Prince!"
The people at the city gate did not dare to stop them and made way for them. Dozens of horses quickly galloped to the slowly descending flying boat, pulled the reins, and waited for the flying boat to land.
Not long after, a radiant girl with a faint smile on her beautiful face walked out of the flying boat.
"Your Highness the Princess!!"
Thousands of people at the city gate suddenly cheered, and the sound spread for hundreds of miles, as if the entire capital was shaken.
Ever since people heard that the prefect of Linhe County was actually a demonic official, the whole country was shaken, and people in the capital had been discussing it for a long time.
But soon, news came back that the Ninth Princess personally led the army to suppress the rebellion and wiped out the remnants of the Demon Sect in Linhe County in one fell swoop. She personally chased and killed the ghost officials for more than a thousand miles. Her achievements were so great that everyone in the capital was looking at her with awe and waiting for the Ninth Princess to return to the court.
"Fellow citizens of Kyushu!"
The Ninth Princess stood at the bow of the flying boat, bowed to everyone and expressed her gratitude. After everyone's excitement subsided a little, she rode a white horse prepared for her in the palace and prepared to go into the city to meet the emperor.
"Aunt."
The ignored Fourth Prince stood up with a grim expression, trying to force a smile, but he couldn't.
"So it's Fourth Brother." The Ninth Princess looked surprised to see him, and said with a smile, "I am deeply honored that Fourth Brother has personally come out of the city to greet me. However, Fourth Brother just called me little aunt? That's too polite. Fourth Brother always calls me Ninth Sister, so let's stick with the old name."
After a pause, the Ninth Princess smiled at him and said, "It just so happens that I also need to go to the palace to see the Queen Mother. Fourth brother, please come with me."
After she finished speaking, without waiting for the Fourth Prince's reaction, the Ninth Princess took the lead and rode into the city. Behind her were Xiao Yuan, Bi He, Tu Zigu, and the strong men in the third realm of Tao. Behind them were the Ninth Princess's personal guards who followed on Pegasus and chose to station outside the city.
Thousands of people at the city gate saw with their own eyes that the Fourth Prince's face changed again and again, and finally he followed him into the city with a gloomy look.
"Tsk tsk, the Fourth Prince's lineage is finished."
Someone whispered something, and many people who heard it nodded and dispersed.
…
"I say, do you really need to be so pretentious?"
Xiao Yuan followed Xuanyuan Mingzhu into the capital. It was his first time to come to this magnificent capital built on a high mountain, like a giant dragon lying among the mountains. He felt that his eyes were not enough, and he felt like a country bumpkin entering the city.
"You don't understand."
Xuanyuan Mingzhu rode on a tall horse, welcoming the tributes from peddlers, knights-errant, and wealthy families along the way. She maintained a smile on her bright face and said, "As a princess, you should shine brightly. Otherwise, you can only be crowned a queen and leave the capital."
Xiao Yuan was no fool. After a moment's thought, he understood what she meant. "The position of Crown Prince depends on the people's hearts? The opinions of ordinary people are not worth mentioning in the eyes of the court officials, right?"
"Maybe it's not worth mentioning, but people's hearts can be used."
"Is this the so-called imperial technique?"
"Not even close."
Bihe, who was standing by, listened to the two people's whispered conversation and couldn't help but glance at Xiao Yuan again. This guy's relationship with the princess seemed much closer!
Noticing the Fourth Prince's group following behind, Xiao Yuan thought of something: "Why did that person just now call you little aunt?"
"Literally." Xuanyuan Mingzhu laughed.
"Literally? Isn't he the Fourth Prince?"
"The real Fourth Prince is my fourth brother. He has been crowned the King of Wei. The one behind us is my nephew. He has inherited the title of Fourth Prince, so he can call me Imperial Sister or Little Aunt."
This was the first time Xiao Yuan had heard of such a thing, but then he thought about it. The empress had been on the throne for five hundred years, and the eldest prince was even born before she ascended the throne.
Xuanyuan Mingzhu's eyes were cold. "I guess he's thinking about whether to kill me in front of the imperial city gate."
"What?!"
Xiao Yuan was shocked.
"Calm down."
"Well."
"How can you be so startled? Xiao Yuan, if you want to be a superior person, you must be able to keep your emotions under control... Although I hate people like that, I have to admit that this is a skill."
"…"
"I'm entering the imperial city. You don't need to follow me. Ask Bihe to learn more about the situation in the capital and help me with some things in the future."
The Fourth Prince ultimately did not take action and chose to enter the imperial city with the Ninth Princess.
But he was not allowed to meet the Queen. He could only watch the Ninth Princess disappear within the high walls of the palace and retreat dejectedly.
…
"Your son greets the Queen Mother!"
In a garden by the river, Xuanyuan Mingzhu met her mother, the emperor of Jiuzhou Continent, Xuanyuan Ya.
Few people call her mother by her name anymore. The last time Xuanyuan Mingzhu wrote this name was when she had just learned to read.
"Um."
Her mother responded lazily. Xuanyuan Mingzhu looked up and couldn't help but frowning slightly.
Her mother was lying on a large jade lounge chair, wearing a veil and underpants. The veil could hardly cover her body, revealing a large area of snow-white skin.
The towering breasts were wrapped in a bright red bra, the straps of which had fallen from the shoulders, revealing a few faint fingerprints between the exposed snow-white breast flesh. In addition, Xuanyuan Mingzhu clearly saw two round bulges on the top of her mother's red undergarment, which was supported by her breasts. Beside her mother, there were two handsome men standing with their hands hanging down.
All this indicated that just before she arrived, her mother, the Queen of Kyushu Continent, was making love with her beloved lord. Her breasts were caressed, her nipples were hard, her cheeks were flushed, and she was breathing slightly, waiting for the spring tide to dissipate.
"…"
Xuanyuan Mingzhu did not speak, but glanced at the two handsome men standing beside him. Both of them were young and handsome. One of them was wearing white clothes and had a gentle temperament, while the other was wearing black clothes and had a slightly gloomy temperament.
But there is no doubt that these two handsome men are the best in the world, far from being comparable to those women in the duck house.
Seeing the Ninth Princess looking at them, the two handsome men nodded slightly without any shyness, looking like graceful and elegant "concubines".
"Pearl."
The queen paused for a moment, and her pair of slender jade feet rested on a soft stool. Her ten slender white toes were very cute. The handsome man in white clothes hooked the queen's snow-white toes, then walked over tactfully, brought a plate of fruits and snacks, knelt down in front of the queen, and fed her personally.
"Queen Mother, please speak."
Xuanyuan Mingzhu remained calm in the face of the absurd and extravagant scene before him, and asked in a bowed voice.
"I will confer upon you the title of Ming Wang and grant you ten counties. After I ascend to heaven, you can join the Xiaoyao Sect and become a Xiaoyao Ming Wang."
The Queen's voice was ethereal and vague, with a hint of distance in it, which surprised the two handsome men present and the maidservant who was serving beside them.
Why was the Ninth Princess suddenly crowned king?
"Yes, I will obey the Queen Mother's order!"
Xuanyuan Mingzhu lowered his head and answered in a calm voice, showing no sign of being frustrated by being crowned king.
The atmosphere was silent and no one spoke.
After a long while, Xuanyuan Mingzhu bowed again and said, "If your Majesty Mother has nothing else to say, I will take my leave now."
The Queen remained silent. Xuanyuan Mingzhu turned and left, walking steadily to the end of the garden path. Just as her figure was about to disappear, the Queen's helpless voice rang out:
"You are such a stubborn girl. I don't know who you took after. Come back here!"
"…Yes, mother."
Xuanyuan Mingzhu changed his words and walked back to the Queen.
This time she sat next to the empress and reached out to pull up the fallen belt of her mother's underwear, covering the bright red spot on the snow-capped peak.
"Pfft, hahahaha."
The Queen smiled coquettishly, covering her mouth with her hands. She pulled Xuanyuan Mingzhu into her arms, almost crying with laughter, and said, "Why is my Mingzhu so shy? Could it be that you have never tasted the sweetness of sex?"
Xuanyuan Mingzhu glanced at her mother's towering chest and said slowly, "Mother, I'm not like you, and I won't learn from you."
"You're mad at me again, aren't you?"
The Queen smiled and tapped her forehead: "You are still just a princess, but you can't be a prince. Don't blame me, your mother, for making you a king. I am doing this for your own good."
Xuanyuan Mingzhu said: "There are many different kinds of people, and there are many different kinds of princes. If my daughter can be a princess, she can naturally be a prince too!"
Empress Xuanyuan Ya's smile gradually faded. She carefully looked at the calm expression on her daughter's beautiful face and suddenly asked, "Do you think you can become the crown prince now?"
"Why not?"
"You know why not."
"No, I know I can, but my mother thinks I can't!"
Xuanyuan Mingzhu said calmly, "In your opinion, mother, as an emperor, you must sever your personal ties and not lose your composure because of a man. To achieve this, mother, you believe that as an empress, you must not have only one man, otherwise you will be trapped by love."
"Being attached to one person is inherently dangerous."
The empress did not deny herself because of her daughter's words. Instead, she pointed out: "Especially Xiao Yuan, who is by your side. He has caused you to lose your mind. You almost lost your life because of him. How can you be the crown prince?"
Xuanyuan Mingzhu was not surprised that her mother knew about her and Xiao Yuan. She just replied, "Xiao Yuan has nothing to do with my daughter's attack."
"snort!"
The Queen had a cold face, but she didn't know how to react. She wanted to send someone to kill Xiao Yuan directly, but with her daughter's stubborn character, she was afraid that she would never have anything to do with her again.
"Do you think you can be a good emperor?" the queen asked her youngest daughter again.
Xuanyuan Mingzhu was silent for a while before she said, "Mother, do you know where I've been recently?"
"Traveling with your little lover."
"Mom, I want to ask you a question."
Xuanyuan Ya stared at her daughter without saying a word.
Xuanyuan Mingzhu asked again, "Do you know if when someone needs to plow the field, should the woman, who is weaker, walk behind and hold the plow, or should the man?"
"What do you want to say?"
Ignoring the Queen's question, Xuanyuan Mingzhu turned her gaze towards the two handsome men and the maids. "Guess, too. Is it the man walking behind, or the woman?"
Several people looked at each other.
"Princess, I guess the men are walking in front."
"I also guessed that the woman was behind."
"A woman, huh?"
"It must be a woman."
Several people gave their answers. Xuanyuan Mingzhu laughed and said, "No, you're all wrong. In fact, the man walked behind and held the plow, and the woman pulled the reins with her shoulders. Isn't it hard to imagine? Haha, I thought the same thing as you before, and even thought that the old man was deliberately abusing his wife."
"But later I discovered that it was actually easier to walk in front and pull the reins, because the average person couldn't pull the plow by themselves. It took two people, so the man walking behind also had to exert force to make the plow move."
The people around seemed to realize something and were so scared that they dared not speak.
The queen's pretty face turned dark.
Xuanyuan Mingzhu said to herself, "Xiao Yuan and I went to a place called Qingshan Village and met an old man. We discovered that he plowed the land just like this... It's strange, isn't it? Why can't we borrow an ox from someone else if we don't have money to buy one? Why do we need people to pull the plow?"
But in fact, cows, like people, will get tired if they are used too much. Villagers cherish their cows and are reluctant to lend them out during the busy farming season.
"Xuanyuan Pearl!!!"
An aura of majesty emanated from the queen, and she looked at her with a cold gaze.
Xuanyuan Mingzhu stood up, lowered her head and looked down at her, and said slowly: "Mother, I want to be a wise ruler, not an emperor!"
