Empress

Chapter 21 Preparing for Selection
The three magnificent palaces are connected together. At the junction of the palaces, there is a colorful glazed stone path full of peach blossoms. At the end of the path, there is a hidden small garden by the river.

"Welcome the Young Palace Master (Your Highness) back to the palace!"

Those who said this were the outstanding inner disciples of Sangong, but now, they are all kneeling in front of the visitor.

"Get up." The voice of the visitor was as sweet as jade falling on a pipa, and her hands were more delicate than fine fat jade.

"Yes!" Sangong disciple replied.

The disciples of Guangming Shrine all wear white clothes, the disciples of Phoenix Heavenly Palace wear blue clothes, and the disciples of Yingqin Fairy Palace wear light blue clothes.

But because they are outstanding disciples of the inner sect, they all embroidered a blooming magnolia flower with gold thread on their chests.

The visitor turned his head, and that face of overwhelming beauty was presented in front of everyone.

It was Lan Weixun who came here!
I saw that she was also wearing white clothes, but the decorations on her clothes had changed a lot compared with the disciples of the Guangming Shrine.

Her sleeves and skirt are much wider, and they are all embroidered with beautiful ripples with gold thread. On the dress, there is a phoenix with tail tail embroidered with silver thread, which is faintly visible under the sunlight, and is as close as her waist. The gilt jade in the room is really beautiful!
"I believe you all know the purpose of calling you here today, right?" Lan Weixun's tone was not serious, but her whole body revealed the majesty of a superior.

"I know!" The disciples of the Three Great Palaces answered cleanly, neatly, and forcefully.

Lan Weixun nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, then I don't want to talk nonsense in this hall. The selection contest for the disciples of the three major palaces is coming soon, and the two of you will take ten outer disciples to a place for selection in a group. The selection contest of the Red Kingdom this year Han Zixuan and Ning Xin'er are in charge, and we will set off immediately, I believe you will not disappoint this hall."

"Obey, Young Palace Master (Your Highness)!" Qi Qi, a disciple of the Three Great Palaces, bowed to Lan Weixun, and retreated respectfully.

"Do you know why this hall specifically pointed you two to go to the Red Country this year?" Somehow, Lan Weixun's eyes flashed a golden light, and this time it lasted for a long time. There are four or five seconds.

Both Han Zixuan and Ning Xin'er saw it, but when they wanted to take a closer look, they had already disappeared, making them think they were dazzled.

"The disciple is stupid and doesn't know what the Young Palace Master intends." Han Zixuan and Ning Xiner shook their heads in unison.

Seeing the blank faces of the two, Lan Weixun couldn't laugh or cry: "Have you forgotten who you were before you came to Guangming Shrine?"

Han Zixuan and Ning Xiner raised their heads suddenly.

That's right, their fathers were all loyal ministers of the former court of the Red Kingdom, and they had served the court all their lives without any second thoughts.

But Hong Shu, the emperor of this generation of the Red Kingdom, was still very suspicious. Just because of a rumor, he did not hesitate to kill their nine clans, and even chased and killed them who were only ten years old at the time.

If it weren't for the help of the Young Palace Master, the two of them would have died long ago, and they wouldn't have achieved what they are today.

No matter how smart the monarch of the Red Kingdom is, he would never have expected that the little boy and girl he sent people to hunt down would one day come to seek revenge on him, right?
"Okay, I think you should remember it too. Go down and get ready, we will leave tomorrow." After a long while, Lan Weixun interrupted the two of them from their thoughts.

"I obey, Your Highness!" Realizing their rudeness just now, even Han Zixuan and Ning Xiner blushed a little.

After the two left, Lan Weixun murmured: "It seems that this year's recruitment competition of the Red Country will be very interesting..."

……

"Huh—" A white light flashed in the sky ten thousand feet high.

Several winged horses shuttled high in the sky with a luxurious carriage.

These winged horses are all three-star king beasts, a very rare breed, and there are only a handful of them in the entire Qingluan Continent. Even if it is a big force, it is difficult to find a few horses.

Han Zixuan and Ning Xiner were sitting outside with their feet dangling in the air, but they were not afraid at all, especially Ning Xiner, who even dangled her feet leisurely.

"Senior Brother Han, tell me, if we return to the Red Country this time, will the Emperor of the Red Country be very surprised?" Ning Xiner's tone was full of joy.Emperor of the Red Kingdom, did you know that the person who was hurt by you is back!

Han Zixuan's face was cold and handsome: "I won't be surprised when I see it, but I will be shocked!" He has endured for so many years, and now he can finally kill his enemies!

"I think it will." Ning Xiner nodded in agreement.

……

Don't look at Lan Weixun's carriage is smaller than it looks from the outside, but it actually hides a mystery inside. It is a small space specially opened up by Tian Yeyun.

"Little Xun'er, how are your preparations going?" Di Yehuang's voice came from the sound transmission jade talisman.

The Sound Transmitting Jade Talisman is a... Anyway, it is a communication tool similar to a modern telephone. It is a high-level spiritual weapon, and it is not common in Qingluan Continent.

"My side is almost ready, just wait until we return to the Red Country." After a pause, he added: "By the way, Di Yehuang, have you found your soul token?"

Di Yehuang on the other side of the jade talisman was a little angry, and his voice was very depressed: "I found it."

Lan Weixun raised her eyebrows when she heard the words: "But why do I feel that you are not very happy?"

"I found the soul token, but there seems to be some kind of restriction on it, so I can't take it away." Lan Weixun could clearly sense the depression and helplessness in Di Yehuang's words, and she covered her mouth and smiled sullenly A few times.

"Since you can't even take it away, even if Hong Shuo knows how to take it away, she will probably have to pay some price. It seems that our action can be advanced!" After speaking, Lan Weixun cut off contact.

Di Yehuang, who was still far away in the Ghost King's Mansion of the Red Country, became even more depressed. The temperature around his body dropped sharply, as cold as ice and snow, and he almost froze the surrounding things directly.

Even the dark guards, such as Wuxinruiqing, who usually have a paralyzed face, were secretly wrapped in three layers of quilts, so they barely survived.

……

The imperial capital of the Red Kingdom, the imperial palace.

In the imperial study room, a man in a dragon robe stared at the memorial on the desk, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Suddenly, a cloud of black mist appeared in the study, and the black mist gradually solidified, and finally turned into a masked man in black.

"Who are you?!" Hong Shu was almost out of breath under the coercion of the man in black, but as an emperor, he couldn't become weaker, he could only hold on.

The man in black laughed dryly, and said in a hoarse voice: "The emperor of the Red Kingdom doesn't have to worry, I am someone sent from above. The people above said that this year's Sangong Disciple Selection Competition will appear in the Red Kingdom. Treat Her Majesty the Goddess well."

"Really?" Hong Zuo was dubious.

It's no wonder that he didn't believe it, because the Red Country is not very powerful, and logically the Young Palace Master of the Bright Shrine would not appear in their Red Country.

"The words passed down from above cannot be false." After speaking, the man in black turned into a cloud of black mist and then slowly disappeared.

Only then did the tense nerves in Hongsuo relax. The strength of the man in black just now was so strong that it frightened him. Is this the difference between a small country and a big country?

He really didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Goddess of the Bright Shrine would come to the Red Country. It seems that he has to step up his preparations in the next two days.

"Gail, gallop." Hong Shu whispered into the air, and two figures flashed into the study.

"May I ask what is the emperor's order?" Blizzard Gallop is Hong Shu's personal bodyguard, and he has sworn an oath to be loyal to him for the rest of his life.

"Go and make room for the pear garden with the best environment outside the palace, and decorate it well. If you receive news of someone from Sangong, you will arrange people to live there." Hong Shu stroked her forehead with a headache, and then Said: "Also, the investigation at the gate of the city has to be tightened recently. If there is a magnolia flower pattern on the carriage, it is their carriage."

"Yes!" Gale and Gallop didn't ask much, they were born with only one duty --- obey the master's order.

……

"Young Palace Master, the Red Kingdom has arrived. It's just that there are a lot of people queuing up to enter the city. When will we be able to enter the city?" Ning Xiner was idle and bored, playing with the white jade accessory that symbolized her identity.

Hearing this, Lan Weixun drove Han Zixuan back into the carriage, while she jumped out and sat outside the carriage.

"Young Palace Master, how can this be done? With such a noble status, how can you sit outside the carriage?" Seeing the situation, Ning Xiner immediately panicked.

Lan Weixun didn't care at all, she looked at the blue sky without a trace of blemish in her deep blue eyes, and said, "Okay, this hall doesn't care, what are you worried about? Besides, I've been staying in the small world of the carriage for a long time." After more than ten days, I was suffocated to death, can't I come out of the hall to get some air?"

Ning Xin'er thought about it, she seemed to be too... Even the Young Palace Master didn't care, so what was she worried about.

While pondering, Lan Weixun spoke again: "Ning Xiner, drive to the city gate. After so many days, I believe that the news that our palace is coming to the Red Kingdom has already spread to all countries. A symbol of unity."

Ning Xiner slapped her head, yes!How could she forget to do such an important thing? !
No longer hesitating, Ning Xiner didn't know how to restrain herself, so she drove the Wang Jie Tianma with wings to the gate of the city.

Fortunately, Lan Weixun reacted quickly, and quickly put a white veil on her face, and the color of her eyes was also changed to black by her divine power.

She didn't want everything to be revealed so quickly!
It is only interesting to reveal the truth step by step...

The main guard guarding the city gate stood aside tremblingly, his head lowered too low.

As early as a quarter of an hour ago, he saw this white carriage, and he didn't take it seriously at first, but when he saw Wangjie Tianma, he was already in Sparta.

Taking a closer look, he found that there seemed to be a magnolia flower tattooed on the carriage that the emperor had called their attention these days, and now he was in a bad mood.

Seeing the carriage jump straight past the crowd and slowly come to a stop in front of him step by step, feeling the strong pressure from the carriage, at that moment, he actually had an urge to run away.

　Originally, Xun'er posted this chapter last night, but today I found that it hadn't been posted, so I had to repost it.

　　Xun Er asks for a recommendation ticket~~!

　　(Note: People from the Guangming Shrine call Lan Weixun the Young Palace Master, and the other two palaces call her Young Highness, because Lan Weixun is not the Young Palace Master of their palace, so she is called Young Highness)
