We said we would experience life, fairy, how did you become real?.

Chapter 440 It's the older sister's turn (4000 words)
Xiao Mo did not refuse and followed Qin Siyao to her palace.

At this time, Hanjiu Palace was not deserted; in fact, it was quite lively.

After all, Qin Siyao had only been in the palace for a short time, and most of the palace maids didn't have much to do.

The group gathered together to chat, while doing their work half-heartedly.

However, when they saw their master and His Majesty enter Hanjiu Palace, they were so frightened that they quickly stepped forward, knelt on both sides, and shouted in unison:
"This servant respectfully welcomes Your Majesty and Consort Mu back to the palace..."

"Be flat."

Xiao Mo nodded and told them to stand up.

"Just do what you're supposed to do. There's no need to be too restrained in Hanjiu Palace, just don't break the rules."

Qin Siyao waved her hand and spoke as well.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Consort Mu." The maids responded in unison.

Qin Siyao ignored them and led Xiao Mo into the room.

"Your Majesty, please have a cup of tea first."

Qin Siyao led Xiao Mo to sit down, poured him a cup of tea, and handed it to him with both hands.

Xiao Mo glanced at the teacup in Qin Mujiu's hand, a hint of hesitation in his expression.

"Could it be that Your Majesty is worried that Mujiu will poison him?" Looking at Xiao Mo's expression, Qin Mujiu smiled softly, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, even if Mujiu poisons herself, she will not let Your Majesty suffer any harm."

"My beloved concubine misunderstands. How could I possibly worry that you might poison me? I was merely pondering what you might be thinking right now."

Xiao Mo glanced at the woman in front of him and took the teacup.

Although Xiao Mo addressed Qin Mujiu as "beloved concubine," which sounded somewhat affectionate, it actually concealed a greater sense of distance.

Qin Siyao naturally sensed the wariness in Xiao Mo's tone and knew that Xiao Mo was referring to what happened last night.

However, Qin Siyao did not care and still smiled and said, "Then, Your Majesty, have you guessed what I am thinking right now?"

"I can't guess."

Xiao Mo shook his head and took a sip of the tea in his hand.

"This morning, Imperial Advisor Jiang told me that you and Ruxue both want something, but after thinking it over and over, I really can't think of anything in this small palace that could interest you and Ruxue."

"Yes……"

Qin Mujiu's eyes held a faint smile as she gazed intently into Xiao Mo's eyes.

"What exactly is it? It's really hard to guess."

"Would my beloved consort be able to satisfy my curiosity?" Xiao Mo asked.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty, but there are some things that are too heavy to tell you right now."

A hint of guilt flashed in Qin Siyao's eyes.

Especially when Qin Siyao recalled some of the things Bai Ruxue wrote in the agreement last night, it confirmed some of her suspicions.

A look of heaviness and worry flashed in her eyes.

However, in just a moment, Qin Siyao suppressed all the emotions that were showing in her eyes.

"Although I cannot tell Your Majesty everything right now, please rest assured, Your Majesty, one day, after I have dealt with everything, I will definitely tell Your Majesty. But before that, Your Majesty will have to wait a little longer."

Qin Siyao looked at Xiao Mo with a smile on her face.

"Let's not talk about that anymore, I almost forgot the important matter." Qin Siyao changed the subject, "There is a gift I want to give to His Majesty..."

"A gift?" Xiao Mo asked, puzzled.

"Yes, this can be considered my dowry. Please wait a moment, Your Majesty."

After speaking, Qin Siyao walked to one side of the room, took out a small box from a trunk, and placed it in front of Xiao Mo.

When the box was opened, Xiao Mo saw a mask and a small clay figure.

The moment Xiao Mo saw the little clay figure and the mask,
His heart was beating faster and faster out of control.

Xiao Mo was certain that he had never seen these two things before, yet he felt an uncanny familiarity with them.

Xiao Mo even felt that these two things were especially important to him!
It's as if these two things belong to me.

This feeling is really strange.

"This little clay figure was made when I was a child, and I've kept it until now."

Just as Xiao Mo was caught up in a different emotion, Qin Siyao smiled and spoke.

“I was thinking that when I got married, I would give this little clay figure to my future husband, and now, I finally have that opportunity.”

"As for this mask, Your Majesty, although it looks old and has some rust on it, it has a long history. It is said to be a traditional mask from the ancient Qin Kingdom."

"I have heard that in the ancient Qin Kingdom, men would wear this kind of mask and perform a war dance during some important festivals in order to pray for peace and blessings."

"I think Your Majesty would look very handsome wearing this mask. Would Your Majesty like to try it on?"

As she spoke, Qin Siyao blinked her eyes, looking at Xiao Mo with great anticipation.

Looking at the mask on the table, Xiao Mo reached out and put it on his face.

Xiao Mo raised his head and looked at himself in the silver mirror in the room. His expression became increasingly dazed.

Shaking his head, Xiao Mo put aside his thoughts and was about to take off the mask he was wearing.

"Your Majesty, wait a moment." Qin Siyao gently grasped Xiao Mo's wrist.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Mo asked.

"I'd like to take another look," Qin Siyao said with a smile to Xiao Mo.

"Is it really that good-looking?" Xiao Mo asked.

"Ok?"

Qin Siyao nodded, stretched out her fair and slender hand, and gently stroked Xiao Mo's cheek, her eyes shining with a soft light.

"Your Majesty, please put on this mask."

"It's so beautiful!"

"here."

"And here too."

"We need to scan this area too."

"The table also needs to be wiped clean."

In the front courtyard of Ningxue Palace, Chunyan was directing the palace maids to clean the courtyard.

Chunyan entered the palace with her young mistress last night.

However, in order to give His Majesty a surprise and let him know that the woman from the Yan family he was marrying was the same girl he had met three times, Chunyan hid herself in the wedding procession.

Xiao Mo, who was so busy he was dizzy, did not notice Chunyan.

What Chunyan regretted in the end was that the young lady had indeed given His Majesty a pleasant surprise. His Majesty even planned to spend the night in the young lady's palace.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty, due to overwork and excessive drinking, fell asleep immediately.
Otherwise, Miss might have conceived His Majesty's child last night.

"Didn't you see the leaves over there? Hurry up and sweep them up."

The more Chunyan thought about it, the more regretful she felt. She pouted and called out to the palace maid with emotion.

However, a short while later, the sound of carriages and horses could be heard outside Ningxue Palace.

"Miss, you're back."

Upon seeing her young mistress return to Ningxue Palace, Chunyan happily stepped forward.

"Hmm." Bai Ruxue nodded and smiled. "How is it? Are you bored in the palace? I already told you you don't have to come into the palace with me. If you want to leave now, I can send you out."

“No, Miss, it won’t be boring.” Chunyan quickly shook her head. “I’ve been with you since I was a child. Wherever you are, I will be there too. Please don’t send me away.”

"Since you're willing to stay here, I'm more than happy. Why would I want to kick you out?" Bai Ruxue smiled and flicked her forehead.

"Hehehe," Chunyan rubbed her forehead, happily hugged her mistress's arm, and looked behind her. "Eh? Miss, His Majesty didn't come back with you?"

"His Majesty should have gone to Consort Mu's place by now," Bai Ruxue said calmly.

Chunyan immediately became anxious: "Miss, now that His Majesty has gone to Consort Mu's place, wouldn't that mean... what if Consort Mu becomes pregnant with the prince first?..."

"Alright, alright." Bai Ruxue patted her head. "I'm going back to my room to rest now. You can do whatever you need to do, but remember that the palace is not like the Yan residence. Don't break the rules, understand?"

"Understood, Miss."

Chunyan lowered her head, wondering why her young mistress wasn't worried at all.

The struggle for the emperor's favor in the imperial harem is a major event.

I've read about it in vernacular novels; the struggle for favor in the imperial harem can even be a life-or-death battle.
But the young lady remained as usual, as if nothing was a big deal in front of her, and she was always so calm and composed.

Bai Ruxue said no more and turned to walk into the dormitory.

The moment Bai Ruxue returned to her room, a magic array that prevented divine sense from detecting her was set up in the bedroom.

When Bai Ruxue turned around, a girl in a light blue dress stood in front of her.

"Sister," Xiaoqing called softly, her expression showing a hint of anxiety.

Xiaoqing entered the palace with the procession yesterday, but she hasn't had a chance to talk to her sister alone, which is making her very anxious.

"Take your time talking, have a cup of tea first."

Bai Ruxue gently brushed her skirt aside, sat down on the stool, and poured Xiaoqing a cup of tea: "What did the King of the Nine-Tailed Kingdom say? Can he agree to our conditions?"

About half a year ago, the demon race made some big moves, especially the Nine-Tailed Kingdom annexing the surrounding small countries, showing signs of intending to attack the world of myriad laws.

In order to prevent the King of the Nine-Tailed Kingdom from disrupting her plans and interfering with her wedding, Bai Ruxue sent Xiaoqing to the Nine-Tailed Kingdom to ensure that the kingdom would not cause any major incidents in the near future.

"The Nine-Tailed Kingdom's ruler is still as unreasonable as ever. She says she will do what she wants to do, and she won't be influenced by anyone."

Xiaoqing shook her head and sighed.

"Fortunately, this ruler does not seem to have any intention of attacking the world of all laws at present, but in ten years, anything can happen. After all, she is the granddaughter of that old cripple, who has inherited her grandfather's will and is even likely to become the ruler of the demon race."

"Sister, what exactly did Brother Xiao do to the ruler of the Nine-Tailed Kingdom in his previous life? Why was he hated so much that killing him once wasn't enough, and he's been relentlessly pursued until now, through countless lifetimes?" Xiaoqing asked her sister in confusion.

"Who knows?"

Bai Ruxue shook her head and looked out the window at the horizon.

"The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan is born for love, proves its path through love, and yet how many have died because of love? Of the eighty thousand characters, only the word 'love' is the most unfathomable."

Bai Ruxue withdrew her gaze and continued, "Since the King of the Nine-Tailed Kingdom is unwilling to reach a contract with us, then so be it. We can just do our own thing. As for the Great Wall, we should help where we can, understand?"

"Okay, sister."

Xiaoqing responded.

But Xiaoqing's eyes flickered, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Bai Ruxue glanced at Xiaoqing and said softly, "There's nothing between us sisters that we need to hide. Just speak frankly."

"Sister, when can you tell Brother Xiao the truth and take him away? Even if there is a remnant god above the clouds, behind the Heavenly Gate, so what?"

"Sister, you are now at the peak of the Ascension Realm. If you were to use the Four Seas Harmony Dao, could that remnant god really stop you?"

Xiaoqing bit her thin lips and voiced her doubts.

Ever since Brother Xiao left his sister for the second time, after she learned that he had caught the attention of the gods in heaven, she immediately went into hiding and retired from the public eye, letting Sizhu take over as the ruler of the four seas.

Sizhu was a woman who, by chance, was taken in as a disciple by her older sister.

For thousands of years, people believed that the Lord of the Four Seas was a blue dragon at the peak of the Immortal Realm. Only some powerful old men from major sects knew who the real Lord of the Four Seas was.

The reason why the older sister did this was because Brother Xiao died for her. The karmic connection between the older sister and Brother Xiao was like a red thread that caught the attention of the crippled god in heaven.

Later, my sister used her extraordinary abilities and went to great lengths to hide this red thread.

To prevent the crippled god in heaven from finding Brother Xiao through this red thread, the older sister couldn't openly continue her karmic ties with Brother Xiao.

Otherwise, this red line will reappear and attract the attention of that deity.

However, in Xiaoqing's opinion, her sister's current realm is extremely terrifying. It is even possible that if her sister were willing, she could merge with the Dao of the Four Seas and enter the legendary second realm.

Does my sister really need to present a false identity?

"fool."

Hearing her sister's words, Bai Ruxue smiled gently and tapped her sister's forehead.

"Who says that there is really only a broken god left in this world?"

"Sister, what do you mean by this?" Xiaoqing blinked blankly.

“In ancient times, those legendary gods did indeed die, but will they really remain ‘dead’ forever?”

Bai Ruxue shook her head, a heavy look flashing in her eyes.

"And who do you think killed those gods who sat high in the clouds in ancient times?"

"If those gods could live, who would they hate the most?"

Hearing her sister's words, Xiaoqing's eyes flickered and her throat bobbed, but she dared not voice her guess.

"Little Qing"

Bai Ruxue placed her hands on her shapely thighs, her peach blossom eyes holding all the springtime in the world.

"My sister doesn't want to lose him again."

"He protected his sister twice."

"This time..."

"It's my sister's turn."
