Chapter 262 The Cold Emperor

The core of this plan is actually to capture Heng Zhengshi, who is the person in charge of the Lieyang Divine Dynasty in the eastern countries.

As long as he can take him down, with his mediation, he can naturally hide the attention of the other two divine dynasties, and he can also make this person his shield, and the effect will definitely far exceed Ju Ye.

So once successful, Lu Changjing can basically sit back and relax and develop well for a long time.

As for how to capture this envoy, the answer is fishing.

Since he is so concerned about the Da Ning Dynasty and the Ning family, then leak some information that may interest him, such as the Ning family revealing another intermediate artifact that was accidentally discovered by the undercover sent by Ju Ye.

However, because it was hidden deep in the Zhoutian Star Array, Ju Ye was not sure he could capture it, so he told this matter to the envoy Heng to see if he would be tempted.

For an intermediate divine weapon, not to mention low-level gods and demons, even intermediate-level gods and demons, and even high-level gods and demons would not hesitate to make a trip for it.

Thinking of this, Lu Changjing smiled slightly and prepared to plan carefully to see whether he should do this.

Although there is a bit of risk, the benefits are huge. Not to mention that he is a third-level god-demon-level soul-picking slave, and he can also help the Daning Dynasty cover up many things. The various artifacts, resources and treasures on him alone are worth Lu Changjing's effort.

Then think about what to do and prepare traps in case something goes wrong.

Moreover, Lu Changjing felt that his current level of cultivation was a little insufficient, especially in terms of Qi refining and spirit refining, which needed to be improved.

As a result, Lu Changjing absorbed the dragon ball at a faster speed, and the dragon essence inside was basically transformed into spiritual power, which was mainly used to improve his spiritual cultivation.

As for Qi training, with the help of a large number of magical pills and medicines, the speed is not much slower than the improvement of the soul.

The soul-picking technique mainly relies on the cultivation of the spirit. The stronger the soul, the higher the power, so it is natural to focus on improving it.

In the realm of gods and demons, what determines the level of one's cultivation is mainly the cultivation of the spirit.

With the help of the dragon balls, Lu Changjing's spiritual cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, far surpassing what it was before. It won't take long before he can break through the shackles and enter the third-level realm of gods and demons.

Just as Lu Changjing was working hard to prepare for the follow-up plans, an interesting news began to spread in Baiyujing.

That is Princess Munjeong Kim Myeong-hee from the Universal Dynasty. She has a special fragrance all over her body, which becomes stronger when she dances. She actually attracts many butterflies to follow her, just like a butterfly fairy.

When it occasionally goes out for fun, butterflies follow it, which amazes countless people.

The news became more and more intense, gradually spreading throughout Baiyujing and even into the harem, causing many concubines to become curious.

However, any discerning person could see that the other party did this on purpose, hoping to attract the emperor's attention in this way.

After all, she has been left out for so long, about two years, and this stunning princess from the Universe Dynasty, who appears once in thirty thousand years, can't stand it anymore.

I heard that many people in the Universal Dynasty have been shouting that Princess Wen Ding is just a figurehead and can't even enter the palace. She is not worthy of being called a princess of the Universal Dynasty, let alone a once-in-30,000-years princess. She should apologize to the people.

Some radical ones even wanted her to commit suicide to apologize, which made Lu Changjing, who knew about this matter, speechless.

Princess Wen Ding probably couldn't stand the pressure, so she did this. So let's take some time to go and take a look.

Let's go now, while the flowers are in full bloom and the moon is in full bloom today. I just heard that Princess Wen Ding is still dancing in the garden of the South Pavilion, so let's go and take a look.

With Lu Changjing's speed, he arrived at the South Pavilion in a few breaths and appeared near the garden.

He mobilized the power of heaven and earth, easily concealed himself, and looked at Princess Wen Ding who was dancing in the garden.

I saw her dancing gracefully, her body was as light as a swallow, her body was as soft as clouds, and her arms were as soft as boneless.

The dancing posture is like a lotus flower with every step, like a butterfly fluttering among flowers, like a gurgling stream, like the bright moon in the mountains, like the morning light in the alley, like the round dew on the tip of the lotus leaf, which makes people feel like drinking fine wine and become intoxicated and unable to control themselves.

Even Lu Changjing showed a look of amazement. He didn't expect that this princess from the Universal Dynasty could dance so well.

At this moment, the sound of a flute suddenly rang out. The girl used her right foot as the axis, stretched out her long sleeves, and her delicate body rotated along with it, faster and faster, and suddenly she flew up from the ground.

Flowers bloomed all around, rippling blue waves. The girl flew into the air above the waves, tapping her slender feet and with her clothes fluttering, like a fairy.

Dancing clear shadow, like in the world?
Smart, elegant, graceful, and lively. As graceful as the light snowflakes in the sky, and as graceful as a fairy walking with lotus flowers.

With her long eyebrows, beautiful eyes, fingers, and waist; with the flowers in her bun and the pleated skirt around her waist; with her delicate dance steps and the ringing of bells, moving slowly like light clouds and spinning quickly like a whirlwind, she danced out the separations and reunions, sorrows and joys in the poems.

Lu Changjing couldn't help but admire her. Seeing the girl's beautiful eyes looking at him, everyone's heart was beating fast. They all thought that she was looking at them. Even Lu Changjing, who was hiding, had similar thoughts.

She is truly pure and innocent, standing like a fairy in the fairyland at dawn.

The slender green veil, the fair cheeks, and the clean make-up.

The waves of Taiye Lake are rolling, the colorful dance has ended, and the water is flowing, breaking your soul.

The flowers are still the same, with the rich fragrance and light pink of the past, but they are no longer the same. I am haggard and want to call for the fairy Lingbo.

Only then did Lu Changjing realize that he seemed to have some preconceived ideas.

I had heard before that the most beautiful woman who only appears once in a hundred thousand years in the Universal Dynasty was not as good as the top prostitute in the Baiyujing brothel. In addition, the Universal Dynasty always liked to exaggerate, so I underestimated this so-called Princess Wen Ding who only appears once in thirty thousand years.

I didn't expect that when we met for the first time today, she would be so stunning. Not to mention her appearance, her dance alone is at the master level.

Moreover, she was dancing the Daning dance. She was able to dance the Daning dance to this level, which showed that she had really put a lot of thought into it.

Her appearance is quite delicate, giving people a feeling of friendliness and kindness. She has almond eyes, willow eyebrows, and an oval face that shows her girlishness. Her every frown and smile is elegant and refined, like a gurgling stream, silently seeping into the heart.

The first time Lu Changjing saw Kim Myung-hee, a star in his previous life named Kim Tae-hee suddenly popped up in his mind. Kim Myung-hee was somewhat similar to her, but was much more beautiful than her. The difference between the two was at least dozens of times more.

In terms of appearance and temperament, Kim Myung-hee surpassed the star in her previous life.

When Lu Changjing saw that star in his previous life, he was also amazed. Now seeing the super-enhanced version of that star, he also had a special feeling.

It might be a bit of an exaggeration to say that this event only occurs once in 30,000 years, but this Princess Wen Ding is so beautiful, has such a good temperament, and dances so well...she can definitely compete with Pan Min, Li Shanhai, Peng Xuanzhi and others.

No wonder the Universal Dynasty boasted so much, it seemed that this person was quite capable. Moreover, her talent and aptitude were also one in a thousand. At the age of only nineteen, she was already a first-class master. Her comprehension and aptitude were also very good, otherwise she would not have been able to learn dance to this level.

It is said that she is proficient in various musical instruments and has good literary talent. If she participates in a talent show, she will most likely be able to enter the top ten.

In that case, why not give her a chance and let her enter the palace and become one of the concubines?

Lu Changjing is not a good woman, but she is too soft-hearted. Those boastful kings in the Universal Dynasty all want this stunning beauty to commit suicide. They can't just watch a kind-hearted girl die like this.

After all, the other party had come from afar just to become one of his concubines. It was enough for her to be qualified to be favored by him. That was such a small request. She had been ignored for more than two years and had not come to cause trouble.

She also tried her best to attract his attention and let him see such a touching scene. How could Lu Changjing bear to watch the other person commit suicide?

Even if it was just an ordinary girl, Lu Changjing couldn't be so cruel, let alone a girl who traveled thousands of miles for him.

Even though Lu Changjing didn't want to favor her and didn't want her to be his love, he didn't think of killing her.

In that case, let's give her a chance to live.

There are so many positions in the harem, just give it to any concubine.

Lu Changjing sighed and was deeply worried about the fate of these innocent girls. They had done nothing wrong, but they would always encounter some accidents.

Jin Mingxi was just one of them. Similar things often happened in the Da Ning Dynasty and many surrounding countries.

When I have enough strength in the future, even if I cannot protect all the poor people in the world, at least I can protect these innocent beauties... No, it should be innocent girls.

Really, he is not a good womanizer, he just wants to be gentle and considerate to women.

After all, he is just one person, how can he take care of so many innocent girls? Even if he saves many girls in the future, he can only choose a very small number of them as his loves.

This is truly out of public interest, not selfishness.

Lu Changjing confirmed again and again in his heart that there was nothing dirty about it and it was completely selfless.

After returning to the imperial study, he was thinking about what reason to use to meet Princess Wen Ding when he heard a sound coming from the small hole in the skylight.

Following the sound, I saw Imperial Concubine Rong Xiyao coming over.

Lu Changjing smiled slightly, and hurriedly hugged Rong Xiyao who had fallen down, and took the delicious food she brought.

These delicacies were what Rong Xiyao liked to eat, and she obviously wanted Lu Changjing to make them into imported delicacies for her to make them taste better.

After exchanging some tongue skills, the two came to the secluded secret room, where they enjoyed imported delicacies and talked about recent events.

From Rong Xiyao's expression, Lu Changjing knew that she came to see him for something.

As expected, the Imperial Concubine did not remain silent for long, and soon told the reason for her visit: "Your Majesty, have you heard of the Butterfly Princess who has become quite famous in Baiyujing recently?"

"I've been busy with cultivation recently and didn't know about this." Lu Changjing pretended to be ignorant. He couldn't tell the Imperial Concubine that he was the first one to know about this.

What if the concubines in the harem thought he was a good woman? Instead of making them jealous, it would be better to tell a white lie, just like Lu Changjing told many concubines that he would be the first to visit them.

Some white lies can improve the relationship between couples and reduce many conflicts. This is the joy of the boudoir.

As expected, Rong Xiyao was quite satisfied. Not only was she not jealous, but she said distressedly, "Your Majesty cannot practice every day. You must take some time to relax and have some fun, otherwise you will get sick."

"Okay, I understand." Lu Changjing smiled and snatched a spiritual grape from her mouth.

Rong Xiyao made another one and fed it to Lu Changjing gently: "Since Your Majesty doesn't know, then I will tell you about this matter."

Then she told Lu Changjing about Princess Wen Ding. After that, Rong Xiyao frowned and said, "Now this matter is spreading like wildfire in Baiyujing. Although everyone knows that Princess Wen Ding did this to attract the attention of His Majesty and enter the palace."

"But this move also made a few people say that His Majesty was a bit harsh. A princess of the Huanyu Dynasty came from thousands of miles away to serve His Majesty, but His Majesty ignored her for two years and has not even looked at her."

"In the past two years, the Huanyu Dynasty has paid us a large amount of resources and treasures every year. As a result, we treat Princess Wen Ding like this. Many people feel that it is not justifiable. So, Your Majesty, please give Princess Wen Ding a status to prevent this matter from continuing to ferment."

"This..." Lu Changjing was surprised, like a sleepy boy who had just found a pillow. He was still thinking about how to deal with this matter, but he didn't expect Rong Xiyao to give him this opportunity: "Then according to my beloved concubine's wishes, let Princess Wen Ding enter the palace and become a concubine."

"She is a princess of a country after all. If we really give her the status of a concubine, it would seem that we are too narrow-minded. Why not give her the position of a concubine?" Imperial Concubine Rong Xiyao looked at Lu Changjing carefully.

Although she is the Imperial Noble Consort and has the support of the King of Southwest behind her, Rong Xiyao also knows her limits. Although there is no rule in Daning that the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs, most concubines will not easily interfere in political affairs.

If the incident involving Princess Wen Ding had not caused such a big stir and there was no queen in the harem, Rong Xiyao would not have taken the initiative to do this.

In addition, because of the previous actions of the Universal Dynasty, Lu Changjing was unhappy and directly suggested that she enter the palace as a concubine.

After that, he ignored this stunning beauty who only appears once in thirty thousand years for two years. Now Rong Xiyao proposed to let her enter the palace and become a concubine. Naturally, he was quite worried.

Doing so would undoubtedly offend the Emperor, so after saying this, Rong Xiyao hurriedly fed him some imported delicacies.

She was also worried that doing so would make Lu Changjing angry, and he would have something against her, or even do something irrational again.

Lu Changjing had a calm expression. Although he had already agreed in his heart, he still hesitated for a moment before sighing, "Since my beloved concubine has said so, then I will give Princess Wen Ding a chance. If the Huanyu Dynasty continues to complain, don't blame me for banishing her to the cold palace."

"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will teach Princess Wen Ding well and ask her to send a message back, asking her parents' family to stop making trouble." Rong Xiyao said happily, and then she took the initiative to drop a grape into Lu Changjing's clothes and began to help Lu Changjing find the grape.

This was the first time she had done such a thing, and Lu Changjing was a little surprised...

After obtaining Lu Changjing's consent, an imperial decree was quickly passed down, allowing Princess Wen Ding to enter the palace and become one of his concubines.

Ji is a sixth-rank beauty in the harem, which has a pretty good status, at least higher than most of the women in the harem. Above her are Guiji, Liyi, Deyi, Wanyi, etc.

However, just as this matter was resolved, another disturbance arose in the harem.
