So what if I have a few billion concubines while I'm cultivating immortality?

Yu Fengling was confused, but she understood the words "fellow practitioners" and "beneficial".

Her eyes lit up instantly, and her gaze towards Mu Ziyan softened with affection: "So that's how it is! Ziyan, may I ask you for guidance on cultivation matters in the future? My husband... he doesn't seem very patient with teaching me..."

As she spoke, her voice trailed off, sounding somewhat aggrieved.

Mu Ziyan gently comforted her, "If Miss Fengling has any questions, and if I know the answer, I will certainly tell you without reservation. Perhaps the young master simply uses a different method. In the future, the young master will definitely provide us with systematic guidance in our cultivation."

As Yu Qingyi listened to their conversation, her mind raced.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

For the past three days, Mu Ziyan has remained at Fengming Palace.

She was gentle and handled things properly, and quickly became acquainted with Yu Fengling, who was relatively simple-minded.

She always maintained respect for Yu Qingyi. When they occasionally talked, it was mostly about cultivation or the local customs of Jinyang Prefecture. She did not try to please him, but she was hard to dislike.

Although Yu Qingyi had not completely let down her guard.

But at least they no longer treat each other coldly, and occasionally they can talk calmly and peacefully.

During these three days, she quickly arranged the affairs of state, appointed several important ministers, headed by Grand Tutor Lin, to assist in governing, and left behind several key edicts to ensure the smooth operation of the Yu Kingdom during her absence from the palace.

On the morning of the third day, Qin Xiao appeared at Fengming Palace on time.

Without saying much, he simply glanced at Yu Qingyi and Yu Fengling, who had already tidied up and changed into simple clothes, and finally his gaze landed on Mu Ziyan, giving her a slight nod.

"Let's go."

The red light emerges again.

Yu Qingyi felt her body lighten as Qin Xiao embraced her waist.

On the other side, Mu Ziyan and Yu Fengling were also protected in his arms.

The light shot into the sky, and in an instant, they were far away from the capital city.

Yu Qingyi, experiencing flight for the first time, forced herself to remain calm as she watched the capital, mountains, and rivers rapidly shrink beneath her feet.

Feeling the howling wind in my ears but being shut out, I was deeply shocked.

This is the power of cultivators...

So easily, they can break free from the earth's constraints and soar through the heavens.

She subconsciously looked at Qin Xiao, who was standing right in front of her.

The other party remained calm, as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.

A complex mix of emotions, unlike anything I'd ever felt before, welled up inside me. There was a sense of awe for the unknown, an awareness of my own insignificance, and a feeling of uncertainty about the future.

There was also a strange, unsettling feeling that I didn't want to admit.

The flight lasted for several hours.

As the light began to descend, the Dayong Imperial Palace was clearly visible below.

Qin Xiao led the three women directly into the courtyard of the Zichen Palace.

"This is the rear garden of the Great Yu Palace."

Qin Xiao released them and introduced them.

Just then, a delighted and pleasant female voice came from the side: "Your Majesty? You're back?"

Everyone turned to look and saw Luo Qingluan, dressed in a light blue dress, walking briskly through the moon gate.

Her hair was lightly tied up, and her features were exquisite.

His gaze swept past Qin Xiao and naturally landed on Yu Qingyi, Yu Fengling, and Mu Ziyan. A hint of understanding flashed in his eyes, but there was no surprise or dissatisfaction.

Only a proper assessment.

Qin Xiao nodded: "Qingluan, come and greet Empress Yu Qingyi of Yu Kingdom, Grand Tutor Yu Fengling, and Miss Mu Ziyan of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce."

Then he said to the two women, "This is Luo Qingluan, my imperial concubine."

Luo Qingluan stepped forward and greeted Yu Qingyi with the courtesy due to an equal, neither humble nor arrogant: "Qingluan greets Miss Qingyi, Miss Fengling, and Miss Ziyan."

Looking at the woman before her, whose temperament was extraordinary and whose beauty was no less than her own, Yu Qingyi's last bit of hope vanished.

Qin Xiao already had a beautiful woman by his side.

Moreover, the feeling she got from Luo Qingluan was...

His cultivation level seems to be even higher than Mu Ziyan's.

With clear and upright eyes and a composed demeanor, she was no ordinary woman.

"Miss Luo."

Yu Qingyi returned the half-bow, maintaining the demeanor of an empress.

Yu Fengling quickly returned the greeting: "Greetings, Sister Qingluan!"

Mu Ziyan also bowed and greeted them.

"No need for formalities."

Qin Xiao looked calmly at the four stunningly beautiful women before him, each with their own unique charm.

"Qingluan, arrange accommodations for Qingyi and the others."

Qin Xiao instructed Luo Qingluan, "Stay near the Zichen Palace, in your Changchun Palace or Yongning Palace. Arrange it as you see fit, but make sure it's quiet and elegant, convenient for your future cultivation."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Luo

Luo Qingluan responded gently, then turned her gaze to Yu Qingyi and the other two, revealing a polite smile, "The three of you, please follow me."

Her demeanor was composed and unhurried, as if she were already the mistress of the harem.

Yu Qingyi pursed her lips, the subtle discomfort she felt due to Luo Qingluan's presence deepening even further.

But she was ultimately of imperial temperament, and knowing that the current situation was beyond her control, she maintained her composure and nodded slightly: "Thank you for your trouble, Miss Luo."

Mu Ziyan naturally obeyed and followed.

Yu Fengling looked around the magnificent palace with some curiosity, and then secretly glanced at Luo Qingluan, thinking to herself: This Sister Qingluan looks dignified and elegant, and doesn't seem difficult to get along with.

Luo Qingluan led the way, gently explaining the layout and rules of the palace as they walked, her tone neither overly enthusiastic nor aloof.

"...Changchun Palace is closest to Zichen Palace, with a quiet and secluded environment. There is a small garden in the courtyard with beautiful scenery. Yongning Palace is a bit further away, but it is also spacious, and there is a small training ground in the back, which is convenient for people to exercise on weekdays."

As Luo Qingluan spoke, she turned to look at Yu Qingyi, "Qingyi, you are the ruler of a country, and I imagine you have many state affairs to discuss with His Majesty. My current residence, Changchun Palace, is closer to His Majesty, making it convenient for us to discuss important matters. What do you think, sister?"

Yu Qingyi pondered for a moment and said, "I will follow Miss Luo's arrangement. Changchun Palace will suffice."

"Would it be alright for Sister Fengling to stay at Yongning Palace?"

Luo Qingluan then looked at Yu Fengling.

"I'm fine with anything!" Yu Fengling nodded quickly. She was simple-minded and just wanted a place to stay.

Luo Qingluan also arranged for Mu Ziyan to live in Yongning Palace, next to Yu Fengling, so that they could look after each other.

After the accommodations were arranged, Luo Qingluan instructed the palace servants to prepare hot water for bathing, change of clothes, and meals.

Everything was arranged in an orderly manner, demonstrating his demeanor.

Yu Qingyi had to admit that Consort Luo was indeed capable of managing the harem.

She herself knew that now that she was in the Dayong Imperial Palace and had come as a "female emperor sent for peace," the best strategy was to bide her time and observe the situation before she could fully understand the mysteries of the path of cultivation.

After showering, changing clothes, and resting briefly, it was already evening.

Qin Xiao hosted a banquet at the Zichen Palace to welcome Yu Qingyi, Yu Fengling, and Mu Ziyan, which was also the first formal gathering of the four Daoist couples.
