"..."

The Immortal Emperor was silent for a while. He knew very well that the arrangement made by the Emperor and Empress was not wrong.

Everyone knows that Princess Snow was born with the arrival of the auspicious snow in the Great Qin Dynasty. She was the result of the good fortune of the dynasty, and she should live a happy and fulfilling life.

but...

Only the Immortal Emperor and the Empress knew that Princess Snow was born with a terminal illness and was destined not to live more than half a century.

Simply ridiculous!

For cultivators, half a decade is just a blink of an eye. Doesn't that mean that the fortune of the Immortal Dynasty only lasts half a decade?

The Immortal Emperor tried his best to search for famous doctors all over the world, even inviting the leader of the Shennong clan to try to cure Princess Snow's terminal illness, but he was still helpless.

"I... can't call her Xue'er after all."

The Immortal Emperor thought of another "Snow Princess" and his eyes flickered slightly.

The emperor and empress found a girl from somewhere who looked similar to Xue'er, had the same long white hair, and did not have the blood of a divine beast. She replaced Xue'er and became the Snow Princess.

"You always have to get used to it, Father." Xue'er smiled gently, "Besides, I also want to meet her, but it's a pity..."

Chapter 158: Mother and Daughter Meet, an Old Friend Named Snow

The next morning.

The rules in the palace are very complicated, and even the daily routine is quite strict.

Yesterday, Luo Xue had to fall asleep early under the watchful eyes of the palace maids, but was woken up again before dawn to dress up.

It is almost equivalent to going to bed at seven in the evening and getting up at four in the morning... What a healthy schedule! Luo Xue has never experienced this in any of her previous lives.

Luo Xue thought she woke up so early because of the coming-of-age ceremony banquet yesterday, but she never thought it was just a daily routine...

Fortunately, she fell asleep early last night, and after her consciousness gradually adapted, Luo Xue was no longer in a daze today and felt much better.

After a simple wash, the palace maid helped Luo Xue to dress up.

Speaking of which, Luo Xue seems to have never worn makeup in several lifetimes.

There are no conditions in the post-apocalyptic world, and then you embark on the path to immortality. When you are in the innate realm, your mortal body will be reshaped. The effect is much more powerful than any makeup.

Watching the palace maid next to her skillfully using various tools and powders to apply on her face, Luo Xue couldn't help but sigh that it was an unprecedented experience.

Then, she looked up at the mirror and was startled. She almost cursed.

"I--"

...Who is this?

She didn't say the second half of the sentence. The maid next to her thought Luo Xue was dissatisfied, so she half-knelt down and whispered,

"I know I was wrong, please forgive me, Your Highness."

"It's okay, just continue..."

Luo Xue held her breath slightly, signaling them not to panic.

However, these palace maids also looked like cold robots. After getting Luo Xue's reply, they nodded slightly, stood up, and continued to dress her.

At this time, Luo Xue continued to stare at herself in the mirror. The more she looked, the more certain she became. Although there was some similarity, this face... should not be hers.

This is a face that is so delicate that it is a little too fragile. Every frown and smile is charming and pitiful.

Luo Xue herself has a more heroic appearance, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, which gives her a heroic look.

If you observe the facial features carefully, you will find that there seems to be no change in Luo Xue's previous appearance.

But the overall look seemed to have been slightly adjusted, causing Luo Xue's temperament to change drastically.

From a heroic girl to a sickly beauty.

"Even my face has changed in this life?" Luo Xue thought to herself, and couldn't help but touch her cheek, "No way, could it be that the collapse of the deep space monster also includes plastic surgery..."

The only time her appearance changed was in her first life in the Four Regions of Kyushu. She was burned to death at that time, which caused her face to show signs of being burned by fire.

But in this life...isn't this inexplicable micro-plastic surgery too weird?

However, there are too many strange things in this life, and this one doesn’t make a difference. Luo Xue can only keep it in mind and continue exploring later.

"Your Highness, you have to go to your morning lessons."

Just as Luo Xue was distracted, the palace maid next to her reminded her.

"Oh yes, there are morning classes..."

Luo Xue's expression immediately became a little depressed.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, she returned to her teaching career again...

The pain buried deep in my memory is beating me.jpg

Morning classes usually teach court etiquette, and the one teaching the class is the old etiquette officer who had been with Luo Xue yesterday.

She was the maidservant who came with the Emperor and Empress, and her status among the servants in the palace was quite high, second only to the personal attendant of His Majesty the Immortal Emperor.

In fact, it is not her responsibility to teach the little princess, and Concubine Min has her own trustworthy personal maids.

It seemed that it was a deliberate arrangement by the Emperor and Empress that allowed Luo Xue to come into contact with her.

Luo Xue didn't care. The old etiquette officer was just a strict and serious person. She was actually a good person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

If the old lady of etiquette knew that she was labeled as a good person by the little princess for no reason, I don't know how she would feel...

"No need, there is no morning class today."

Just then, the old lady who was the etiquette officer walked out from the door.

She first saluted Luo Xue, then signaled the palace maids on both sides to step back.

After the palace maids left, she looked at Luo Xue with complicated eyes and said slowly,

"Your Highness, your mother...wants to see you."

Mother concubine?

Luo Xue quickly realized that her mother was Concubine Min, her biological mother in this life.

All the emperor's sons and princesses must regard the Empress as their legal mother, calling her the Queen Mother, while their biological mother can only be called the Concubine Mother.

However, even if my mother in this life wants to see me, there is no need for me to have this expression, right?

"Ah."

In order to be cautious, Luo Xue nodded slightly without showing too much expression.

Seeing this, the old lady of etiquette felt a little relieved, as she was still worried that His Highness's reaction would be too excited.

It seems that His Highness has grown up...

So, the old lady, the etiquette officer, thought about it and said one more sentence:

"When you meet your mother, Your Highness, please try to speak less and avoid being criticized."

"Hmm? Oh..."

Luo Xue blinked, thinking how could it be so strange, seeing my mother was like seeing a prisoner...

and many more?

...prisoner?

There is indeed a place in the palace that is equivalent to a prison outside, and the concubines inside are undoubtedly prisoners.

That is...the cold palace.

Luo Xue hesitated for a while and asked tentatively,

"Mother...are you okay in there?"

"..."

The old lady of etiquette was silent for a while, shook her head, and said,

"Your Highness, you will know once you enter... This time the Empress has given special permission, otherwise even this old servant would not be allowed to enter."

Or is it related to the Emperor and Empress?

I guess it was the Empress who personally sent her to the cold palace...

This palace struggle is really troublesome. How come even the Xian Dynasty is no exception?

Or it is even more serious, after all, His Majesty the Immortal Emperor cannot make complete decisions.

Since the power of the Emperor and Empress is not that far behind that of the Immortal Emperor, it would be more accurate to say that they are two emperors rather than the Empress and the Emperor.

Because of this, the Immortal Emperor did not have many concubines. Including the Empress Dowager and Emperor Min’s concubine, there were no more than one.

"When will I meet my mother?"

Luo Xue said this with a pretended calm expression, her slightly trembling voice seemed to reveal her uneasy heart.

After all, you have to have some acting skills in life.

The main reason is that the memory fusion is incomplete. Luo Xue has never experienced the life of Princess Snow, so naturally she cannot empathize with her mother. She can only force herself to empathize.

Anyway, as long as you don't neglect the surface work, it's fine.

"Now," said the old lady of etiquette, "but at daybreak... you must leave."

She hesitated for a moment and said, "It's been a long time. After all, your mother..."

As if she felt that speaking out these things would be too offensive to His Highness, the old lady of etiquette did not continue.

Luo Xue really wanted the nanny to finish what she was saying. Why did these people always like to only tell half of the story? She didn't even know what her mother had done wrong to be locked up in the cold palace by the Emperor and Empress.

It would be fine if she was locked up, but why did the Emperor and Empress take such good care of the daughter of Emperor Min's concubine?

"Come on, I'll take you there." The old lady, the etiquette officer, stretched out her skinny hand and said softly, "Hurry up, the chances for you to meet...are few."

"Ah."

Luo Xue could only nod and put her little hand on it cooperatively.

She thought the old etiquette officer was going to take her to the cold palace, but she didn't expect that the next moment, the old etiquette officer would pinch her fingers with one hand and create a teleportation array with her bare hands.

"???"

Luo Xue opened her eyes wide, unable to suppress her shock.

Is this something that a Nascent Soul can do?

Luo Xue did not understand the realms above the Spiritual Transformation Realm. As far as she knew, the Nascent Soul Realm was not yet at the level where one could create a teleportation array with bare hands without the aid of any materials.

The key point is, without the help of any materials.

This means...the old lady who is the etiquette officer may have comprehended the laws of space, and her comprehension of magic arrays has reached an extremely deep level.

Luo Xue suddenly felt that she seemed to have some misunderstanding about the level of combat power in this world.

But the old lady of etiquette felt it was normal. She still held Luo Xue's hand respectfully and soothed her softly,

"Your Highness, this is your first time using a teleportation array, so you may feel a little uncomfortable. Please bear with me. I will immediately order someone to prepare the Thousand Souls Nourishing Soup to help your Highness recover from the injuries to his soul."

Luo Xue wanted to twitch her lips when she heard this. Although she didn't know what the Thousand Souls Nourishing Life Soup was, any medicine that could heal the injured soul was of the highest quality. Wasn't it a bit of a waste to use it to relieve the discomfort caused by the teleportation array?

However, having come to this point, compared to all these, Luo Xue couldn't help but become interested in the legendary Concubine Min.

After all, she is her biological mother in this life...

In fact, she is much closer to him than her stepmother Luo Huaxin.

The old etiquette officer did not delay too long. She quickly sent Luo Xue into the teleportation array, but she did not go in herself.

The cold palace...is not a place where one can enter and exit at will.

After a familiar trance, Luo Xue opened her eyes again, and in just a moment, she regained clarity.

This level of teleportation array certainly has little effect on Luo Xue. After all, she had just traveled through the space-time torn apart by a giant beast in deep space...

After entering the cold palace, Luo Xue couldn't help but shiver.

The cold palace seems to be really cold...

It’s not because of the temperature, but because everything in the cold palace seems gloomy and cold.
