If it is a talisman of the same level, the effect is actually very general. After all, one can cast spells of the same level, and the production of the talisman requires a lot of extra materials.
more importantly...
Luo Xue knew that there was still a gap between her and Senior Sister Li in this aspect. Senior Sister Li could reach the top level in the four arts of formation, talisman and puppet refining in a short period of time, but Luo Xue did not have such talent.
"I suddenly miss Senior Sister Li and Nangong Mengxiang..."
Luo Xue suddenly sighed. She still missed the days of the Northern Zhou Dynasty when the evil trio was hunted down by all parties...
Well, it’s simply that life in the palace is too dull and boring, and Luo Xue herself can’t help herself.
Unfortunately, the old lady, the etiquette officer, was watching very closely, so even if Luo Xue wanted to leave the palace, she had to get the token in her hand.
"I did memorize the text on the token, but it will take some time to replicate it through the formation." Luo Xue rubbed her temples, "If Senior Sister Li was here, she could probably do it in less than a quarter of an hour..."
She still has a lot of questions to answer, such as the Nangong family and the cage world, "Luo Xue" in the southern wilderness, and the mysterious mortal who sneaked into her room...
Regarding this last point, Luo Xue did have some ideas on how to explore the other party's existence, but it would take some time to arrange the room.
"I hope Mammy really doesn't understand the formation..."
......
In the simple courtyard, the Emperor and Empress were still leaning on the recliner, their beautiful eyes slightly closed, their gaze lightly falling on the bare branches, waiting for the day when the flower buds would bloom.
Next to her was the old lady who was the etiquette officer, with her head bowed and not saying a word.
"Wan'er, how long have you followed me?" the Empress said slowly.
"It has been more than 50,000 years." The old lady of etiquette said respectfully, "Your Majesty is kind-hearted. She took me into the Nangong clan and gave me a name personally... To this day, I dare not forget your kindness."
"You already know everything about her... right?"
The Empress Dowager suddenly changed the subject and asked.
The old lady of etiquette naturally knew what the Emperor and Empress were referring to. She came to the courtyard today just for this matter.
She didn't want to find out the truth, but she needed an answer.
A satisfying answer.
After several days of thinking and struggling, she finally took this step.
The Empress slowly sat up, looked at the old lady who was the etiquette officer, and said softly,
"Stubborn, as stubborn as ever, but this kind of stubbornness will hurt you."
"..."
The old lady who was the etiquette officer said nothing, but just lowered her head even deeper.
"Remember when Princess Xue came of age, Emperor Dugu didn't go, but I did... Why do you think that was?"
When the Empress finished speaking, the old lady of etiquette's pupils shrank slightly, and a bitter look appeared at the corners of her mouth.
"Old slave...got it."
Because the Snow Princess who appeared at the banquet that day and accompanied her the whole time was a fake.
The reason why His Majesty the Immortal Emperor did not attend the coming-of-age ceremony of his most beloved little princess was because he was accompanying the real little princess, the white-haired girl who had secretly entered the bedroom a few days ago.
"No, you don't know." The Empress shook her head and said, "There has never been a fake Snow Princess. There is only the 'former Snow Princess' and the 'present Snow Princess'."
The old lady of etiquette was stunned for a moment. She couldn't understand what the Emperor and Empress meant.
"Empress Min is one of the few descendants of the Snow Girl clan. You should not know this, right?" The Empress said slowly.
The old lady of etiquette frowned slightly, then a look of shock appeared on her face, and she said,
"You mean, Princess Snow's illness is actually..."
The Emperor and Empress did not answer and acquiesced in the statement of the old lady of etiquette.
There have never been many descendants of the Snow Woman Clan... because most of the Snow Woman Clan members suffer from a disease called 'Snow Woman Syndrome'.
As time goes by, the patient's limbs will gradually become weak and powerless until the whole body is paralyzed. The only way to cure this strange disease is to strengthen the blood power of the Snow Girl lineage and balance the blood power with the body.
The case of Concubine Min was different. Her blood was so thin that she couldn't even get sick, so she survived.
Unfortunately, the child she gave birth to with the Immortal Emperor, Princess Snow, had a slight case of blood reversion, which caused her life to begin countdown as soon as she was born.
"The Snow Princess of the past is almost there," the Empress said faintly, "from now on, there will only be 'the Snow Princess of the present'."
The old lady of etiquette had a complicated look in her eyes. Only now did she finally understand why the Emperor and Empress accepted the existence of the little princess so rarely.
You have to know that the emperor’s sons and princesses, as well as the emperor and empress, had hardly ever paid any attention to them before, let alone given them special care.
The old lady of etiquette thought that the Empress sent her to personally teach the little princess court etiquette as a way of reconciliation with His Majesty the Immortal Emperor, but she didn't expect this to be the case...
To be honest, after spending these days together, the old etiquette officer has developed a favorable impression of Princess Snow, otherwise she would not have risked being blamed by the Emperor and Empress to come here to ask for answers.
"Your Majesty, how did she...come to the palace?" the old lady, the etiquette officer, asked slowly.
"Sixteen years ago, on the day Princess Yuxue was born, a palace maid brought her back from the wilderness outside the imperial capital. But even I can't find her biological parents."
The Empress said, "The maid who brought her back died of a serious illness not long after, leaving her alone to live in the palace."
Regarding the story of the Snow Princess...the Empress did not continue.
Because she only needed to make sure that Luo Xue could become the Snow Princess, and there was no need to know too much.
However, the old lady, the etiquette officer who was well aware of the internal situation of the palace, knew very well that people in Luo Xue's situation...usually would not have an easy life.
In addition to the imperial palace, the Xian Dynasty Imperial Palace also has many places for servants to live.
Many palace maids were trained since childhood, and these places were not too strict. Occasionally, a few children would sneak in, and as long as they were not investigated too closely, they could hide well.
It is very likely that Luo Xue is among them, but because of her special identity, she is probably bullied.
But the strange thing is...this current Snow Princess has behaved very well during this period, but she is completely ignorant of court etiquette.
But... the old lady of etiquette was still a little confused. She couldn't help but speak out.
"But why would His Majesty rather let a...'current Snow Princess' replace his daughter than announce this matter..."
The Empress's eyes suddenly became dangerous. The old lady in charge of etiquette immediately realized that she had asked the wrong question and lowered her head.
"I know I was wrong!"
"Haha... there's nothing wrong with that," the Empress laughed softly, but without a trace of warmth, "Emperor Dugu simply doesn't want others to know that Consort Min is the descendant of the Snow Girl...
"This is his weakness. In the final analysis, both the mother and daughter were used..."
If it weren't for her identity as the descendant of the Snow Girl, how could His Majesty the Immortal Emperor marry a woman whose appearance is not outstanding, whose blood is so thin that it is almost mortal, and who has no family background at all as his imperial concubine?
The only shortcoming is that he showed inappropriate affection for his daughter and was not cruel enough.
The old etiquette officer turned pale with fright. She seemed to have heard something she shouldn't have heard...but it was too late to forget it now.
She knew that if she explored too much about the imperial family, she would accidentally touch upon some unknown taboos...
"How could I possibly let him have his wish?" The Empress' lips curled up into a touching smile. She squinted her eyes, her distant gaze mixed with a bit of pleasure. "Besides, I like this little guy very much..."
A human being.
A pure human without any demon blood.
Where on earth did she come from...
The Empress Dowager thought of an ancient legend of the Nangong clan, and her smile deepened.
In the game of chess between her and the Immortal Emperor, both sides had hidden tricks and trump cards that were unknown to the public.
And now she was just holding the chess piece and hadn't put it down completely yet.
The outcome is still unknown.
Chapter 175 Xue'er, Someone Else
Several months passed in a flash.
During this period of time, Luo Xue's peak foundation-building cultivation had been completely stabilized, and she could consider preparing for the Dan stage.
However, forming a pill requires the energy of the heavenly veins or the earthly veins, which are definitely not available in the imperial palace. She has to leave the palace again no matter what.
During this period of time, Luo Xue's cultivation in the art of formations has improved a lot. She has been able to construct the most basic spirit gathering formation at the foundation-building level, and has also successfully established a spirit gathering formation model at the Jindan level.
Just because she was worried that it would make too much noise, Luo Xue didn't dare to make any random arrangements in the palace.
However, the mysterious mortal who had appeared in the bedroom before never appeared again. Luo Xue set up surveillance formations throughout the entire bedroom, but found nothing.
The mysterious mortal seemed to have disappeared inexplicably and never appeared again.
There was nothing unusual about the old lady etiquette officer during this period. She didn't seem to notice the formation set up by Luo Xue. She was still teaching Luo Xue the contents of court etiquette as before.
Just as Luo Xue was racking her brains, trying to find an excuse to leave the palace and get away from the imperial capital to find the secret realm of Jindan, a strange palace guard suddenly visited.
"Your Majesty...I want to see you today."
The palace guards did not kneel down, but just bowed their heads to Luo Xue.
Because he is the Immortal Emperor's closest personal bodyguard, and is said to possess strength above the Immortal Realm.
"Ok?"
When Luo Xue heard the news, she was stunned for a moment.
The emperor who was rumored to dote on her, was actually someone she hadn't even seen in the past few months.
At least the Emperor and Empress had the presence of the old lady etiquette officer, who always reminded Luo Xue that there was such a person taking care of her, but the Immortal Emperor completely ignored her, and Luo Xue almost forgot that she had such a father.
When the old etiquette officer heard this, her eyes suddenly became complicated.
She looked at Luo Xue and said softly,
"Go ahead. It's just a private meeting. There's no need to be so restrained."
"Oh..."
Luo Xue glanced at the etiquette officer strangely. The old lady's expression made her feel that it was because her father didn't treat her very well...
Could the rumor be false?
There was no way. Luo Xue's memories of the past were only fragmented, and many things in the palace could only rely on rumors and speculations from the outside world.
She couldn't just come out and ask...
However, since His Majesty the Immortal Emperor sent someone to find Luo Xue, she had no reason to refuse... and no way to refuse.
This is an imperial decree. In the entire Great Qin Dynasty, it is estimated that only the Emperor and Empress can ignore it.
"See you now?" Luo Xue asked.
"Yes," the palace guard nodded, "because His Majesty will soon leave the palace for a southern tour."
"Oh, that's how it is..."
Luo Xue nodded blankly. She had been staying in the palace and practicing, so she didn't know the news.
In fact, half a month ago, the news of His Majesty the Immortal Emperor's southern tour was released, causing an uproar.
This is the first time that Your Majesty has made a southern tour since the establishment of the Great Qin Dynasty.
Because they had signed a contract with the tribes in the wild areas before, they were willing to support the Great Qin Dynasty as their leader, but the imperial family was not allowed to interfere in the internal affairs of the wild tribes.
Therefore, in the wild area, the influence of the Great Qin Immortal Emperor is not as great as that of the little leader they recently supported.
Perhaps it was for this reason, or perhaps it was because the chaos that had plagued the barbaric tribes from ancient times to the present suddenly came to an end, that the Immortal Emperor came up with the idea of touring the south.
Perhaps it was because of the southern tour that the Immortal Emperor would not be able to return to the Imperial Palace for at least a hundred years. If he did not see his most beloved daughter at this time, it would probably be unacceptable.
After Luo Xue nodded in agreement, the palace guard ignored the old etiquette officer and directly cast a spell to cover him and Luo Xue together. In an instant, a white light flashed and the two disappeared.
The old lady of etiquette looked at the place where they disappeared, and her expression became more complicated and profound.
She looked up at the layout of the bedroom and was secretly amazed.
"How could His Highness have such a talent for formations...Without any cultivation at all, he was able to set up a formation for the Soul Condensation Realm."
Luo Xue did not use any cultivation when setting up these monitoring formations. At this level, she didn't need any cultivation at all to build them.
The old lady who was the etiquette officer once reported the matter to the Emperor and Empress, but the answer she got was to ignore it and tell the little princess to play however she liked as long as she didn't kill herself.
"The Empress did not seem surprised by this..."
The old lady, the etiquette officer, had a flickering look in her eyes, concealing the deep meaning in them.
