Chapter 24: Preparing for Marriage
Returning to Yingxue Garden, Qin Luo Yi simply washed up and then fell asleep. However, thinking about what she had heard earlier, her heart remained restless for a long time.
This Qin Luo Yi died in vain!
As the eldest daughter, she has received all the love and pampering, but unfortunately, because of the acne on her face, she becomes self-abased... She can't see that her sister's kindness is actually a scheme with ulterior motives. With wholehearted trust, she gets back vicious calculations!
Since she has occupied her body and also received the favor of Qin Lingyun's couple, her enemy, she naturally wants to help her revenge, only...
This matter still needs to be carefully considered and cannot be rushed.
Now that Xue Er, who has a deep-seated grudge against Qin Luo and her mother, is helping herself in the Quixia Garden, she will eventually find an opportunity for revenge.
Unfortunately, Qin Luo was so meticulous in her calculations that she forgot to calculate the hearts of others. Or perhaps she knew it all along, but felt that the girl couldn't take it anyway, so whether or not she remembered the grudge, she no longer cared...
And her top priority is to increase her own strength! This feeling of being powerless and restricted by others everywhere, really feels terrible!
Before he knew it, he had fallen asleep and when he woke up again, it was already early morning of the next day.
After having breakfast with Xie Ruyan, she took Liuer and Liu'er back to Yingxue Garden. Dahei followed closely behind her without leaving her side for a step.
As for such a scene, Xing Er and Liu Er have already gotten used to it.
The young ladies previously disliked Da Hei, finding him dirty and black all over, so they didn't want to get close to him at all. Now, they just think the princess has lost her memory, so she's changed her preferences, that's all.
Moreover, the change in the young master is not just this little bit... In the past, except for the second young lady, the young master was unwilling to get close to anyone else. Now, she goes to accompany the queen to eat every day on time, making the queen so happy that her mouth can't be closed, so no one will remind the young master...
Even the two of them felt that the amnesiac young mistress was much better now than before, not only confident but also more talkative, and her whole body emitted a dazzling light that couldn't be hidden.
After returning to Yuexue Garden, Qin Luoyi began to cultivate.
In the Yingxue Garden, there is a special practice room that Qin Lingyun had built for her when she was very young. The workmanship is exquisite, grand and highly soundproof.
Unfortunately, Qin Luo's innate talent was not good at cultivating heavenly gifts, so he rarely came here.
When she mentioned cultivation, both Xing Er and Liu Er looked somewhat uneasy. They exchanged a worried glance with each other.
Qin Luo took off her clothes as if she hadn't seen anything, only instructing them to clean up the practice room and then letting them leave. She naturally sat down cross-legged on the soft couch made of white jade.
Her body's meridians were severely blocked, making her physique extremely unsuitable for cultivation on the Sacred Dragon Continent. As a result, she could only abandon conventional cultivation methods and rely on elixirs to increase her internal spiritual energy.
Fortunately, she went out yesterday and knew that the spiritual plants outside were cheaper, so the source of Dan medicine in the future is no longer a problem.
Moreover, alchemists are scarce on this continent. After refining, the spiritual elixirs that are full of spiritual energy are very valuable. Many people who don't have money can only buy spiritual plants to take directly, and the efficacy is naturally greatly discounted.
So... in the future, she might not only be able to refine and take her own elixirs, but also make a fortune from refining them!
At this thought, the bright and beautiful face burst into a brilliant smile, and with a pleasant mood, she took out a second-order elixir and swallowed it.
The elixir entered smoothly, sliding straight into the stomach, a faint stream of spiritual energy spreading throughout the body... Qin Luo Yi, who had sunk into a meditative state, didn't dare to relax in the slightest, carefully guiding the spiritual energy within her body as it circulated through her meridians.
Two hours later, the spiritual energy of the second-order elixir was fully activated, and a faint stream as thin as a hair appeared in her body.
Although it was very small and couldn't be felt without careful attention, Qin Luo was already quite satisfied with the spiritual power he had obtained from using a second-grade spirit dan for the first time.
After lunch, she hastily returned to her practice room.
Compared with the second-order spiritual elixir in the morning, she directly used a fifth-order dan spirit in the afternoon.
Her spiritual power had increased several levels, and the amount of spiritual energy she received was naturally incomparable. By the time she left her meditation room again, the spiritual energy in her body had already multiplied several times from that morning, and it had become as thick as five or six strands of hair.
With a carefree heart, she returned to her room and found Xie Ruyan and Qin Lingyun sitting in her room drinking tea. When they saw her enter, their faces simultaneously revealed warm smiles.
His eyes quickly swept across her face and saw that she was not as disheartened as before, and he couldn't help but put his heart at ease a little.
"Good clothes!"
Xie Ruyan grasped her hand and pulled her down to sit beside him, stroking her hand with a sympathetic expression: "I heard you've gone into the practice room for cultivation?"
"Yes!" Qin Luo Yi didn't deny it, smiling and nodding: "Father King, Mother, when did you arrive?"
Xie Ruyan patted her head, with a hint of reproach in her beautiful eyes: "It's been a while since you came over, Yī'er, take a look at the time! How could you only come out now? You were seriously injured not long ago, and your body hasn't fully recovered yet. You can't afford to stay up like this!"
Qin Lingyun looked at her and slightly furrowed his brow, saying: "Yes, Yī'er, listen to your mother's words. In five more months, it will be your wedding with the Third Imperial Prince. After you get married, there will be many things in the palace that will worry you, so you can't exhaust yourself because of cultivation."
Between words, also disapproved of her practice.
Qin Luo Yi blinked, and a mischievous glint flashed in her dark phoenix eyes. Smiling, she said: "Father King, Mother, you can rest assured, my body has long since recovered. Don't believe me? Take a look!"
Brush aside the hair on his forehead, pointing to the smooth forehead, and let them see.
Xie Ruyan stretched out her finger and smiled as she lightly tapped her forehead: "The external injury has healed, but after losing so much blood, you need to slowly recover!"
Qin Lingyun gazed at her daughter, whose face was now more radiant than before. The smile on her beautiful face deepened, and a hint of relief flashed in her eyes: "The Third Prince's talent for cultivation is exceptional, now equal to your older brother's, already a martial artist's cultivation. With many guards in the palace, they will all be able to protect you... Yier, listen to your mother's words, don't just focus on cultivating anymore. Before you get married, spend some quality time with your mother. Your mother is preparing your dowry during this period, and you should also go take a look, see what else you need, what you like, and tell your mother..."
Xie Ru Yan sighed and said with a reluctant face: "In the blink of an eye, Yier is already 16 years old and will be getting married... Mother really can't bear to part with her!"
Qin Luo's clothes had several layers.
Xie Ruyan and Qin Lingyun both knew their own trashy physical bodies, they knew that she couldn't cultivate anything, so they let her go busy with the dowry things.
And the three princes... That day, a fleeting glance, although he was handsome and elegant, with an air of grandeur, his beauty was enough to make people and gods angry together, but looking into her eyes, it was clear that she was completely indifferent.
This man doesn't have her in his heart!
Thinking of this, she pursed her lips and held onto Xie Ruyan's arm with a reluctant expression, shaking it as she smiled: "Mother... if you can't bear to part with your daughter, then I won't get married! I'll just stay at home and accompany the two elders..."
Qin Lingyun smiled and shook her head, thinking she was just saying it casually. She picked up the teacup on the table and elegantly took a sip.
Xie Ruyan couldn't help but tease her, saying: "Silly girl... Mother won't let you go, when you grow up, you'll get married too. If you stay in the Wang Manor and end up becoming an old maid, you'll blame Mother!"
She didn't take Qin Luo's words seriously either.
Qin Luo Yi's hands clenched into fists within her sleeves, and she continued to smile ambiguously: "Just call me old maid then, anyway I have Father King to support me, heh heh, it won't affect my food and drink."
He then turned his head to look at Qin Lingyun, who was smiling as he watched the two women tussle. The dark phoenix eyes sparkled with cunning: "Your Majesty, isn't that right?"
Qin Lingyun burst out laughing and put down the tea cup in his hand: "Father will have no problem raising you, hehe, but if you want to stay by your parents' side, someone might not agree!"
"Who?" Qin Luo's eyes widened in surprise, looking at him suspiciously.
Qin Lingyun saw it and laughed even louder: "Of course, it's your future husband, the Third Imperial Prince!"
Pfft!
Qin Luoyi almost burst out laughing.
She won't marry... Chu Yixiu is probably delighted! A normal person, I'm afraid no one would want to marry a woman with a defect on her face.
However, the Emperor has already arranged the marriage, the imperial decree has been issued, and the wedding date has been set. If nothing unexpected happens, in five months' time, I will really have to enter the Third Prince's estate as his bride...
From now on, she would be guarding a man who didn't love her, this wasn't something Qin Luoyi would do.
Her parents won't change their minds, so she can only try to get what she wants from Chu Yixiu!
