Chapter 7: Selection for His Majesty
"Om..."

The five elements of qi and blood began to increase dramatically, the quantity and quality were further improved, and physical fitness was also enhanced accordingly.

The second level of Qi and blood!

Second level warrior!
Feeling the surging blood and energy, Lu Changjing nodded with satisfaction.

At this moment, he could easily blast out the power to break monuments and split rocks, which was already beyond most ordinary people in his previous life, not to mention the increases in speed, reaction, five senses, etc.

But I always feel that this power is a little bit too little. After all, my physical fitness is several times that of ordinary people, so my strength has only increased a little.

But think about it, the immortal demon body mainly increases physical fitness. The improvement of physical fitness determines the improvement of defense, endurance and lifespan, rather than strength, speed, five senses and other aspects. These aspects are indirectly driven to improve a little, which is normal.

His defense, endurance and lifespan have not been discounted at all. As long as his physical fitness improves, these three aspects will immediately soar, especially the defense.

Not to mention the endurance, which is several times that of ordinary people. As for lifespan, as the physical fitness increases a little bit every day, the speed of increase in lifespan completely exceeds the speed of growth. This can also be called immortality.

After consolidating and adapting himself, Lu Changjing began to rest.

As his physique improved, his spirits also improved, and he needed less and less rest.

Later, when your physical condition has improved to a certain level, maybe you only need to rest once every few days, and then you can spend more time on practicing.

In this way, he would be able to defeat Cao Wenzhen sooner, kill him, and replace Ning Zhongyu.

Before that, he also needs to learn more about the Daning Dynasty so as not to reveal any flaws when he plays the role of emperor in the future.

As soon as the hour of Mao passed, Cao Wen Zheng called him to get up on time.

After Lu Changjing finished washing up, he honestly went into the imperial study and began to study. He studied until noon and then started to eat breakfast.

The breakfast was also rich, with dozens of delicious dishes, including some cooked with ingredients from spiritual beasts.

While Lu Changjing was eating these delicious dishes, Cao Wenzheng would occasionally observe him. Only when he found that he was still the same as usual and unable to absorb the energy inside did he feel relieved.

However, he didn't know that Lu Changjing had hidden all the energy in various parts of his body and concealed it with the characteristics of the immortal demon body.

Otherwise, Cao Wen Zheng would have discovered the abnormality long ago and would have been killed immediately.

I had just finished breakfast and hadn't even read a few memorials when I heard a commotion outside.

"The Queen Mother is here!"

A charming and enchanting face emerged in my mind, mature and charming, far superior to Rong Xiyao, Tang Qingyi and others in some aspects.

If the Empress Dowager launched an offensive against him like she did with the other concubines, Lu Changjing felt that he would most likely not be able to resist.

Looking at Cao Wen Zheng, Cao Wen Zheng hesitated for a moment, but still said loudly: "Xuan..."

After all, she is Ning Zhongyu's nominal mother. If she even turns away the Empress Dowager, it will easily arouse suspicion.

Soon, a woman who looked not much older than Rong Xiyao, Tang Qingyi and others walked into the imperial study.

He was wearing a high-collared, wide-sleeved black robe embroidered with crimson patterns. The dark patterns on the clothes were embroidered with dark ink and fluorescent-colored silk threads. Every time he moved, the flowing patterns on his body seemed alive.

Her hair was tied up with a string of tiny pearls, with a faint halo, and the scattered hair was like black silk, with an ultimate charm that blended with beauty, but she looked enchanting, evil and extremely charming.

She has a fair and angular face, and her black peach eyes reveal a hint of charm.

There is a pink cherry mouth under the delicate and tall nose, and a crescent mark can be vaguely seen on the forehead.

No wonder she was able to charm Ning Zhongyu's father and become the queen of a country at such a young age.

It’s a pity that Ning Zhongyu’s father died too early, otherwise she would still be the queen of Daning.

Seeing Lu Changjing, a smile broke out on Empress Dowager Hua Yanqiu's face: "I heard that the Emperor will consummate his marriage with his concubines in three years and give birth to a prince or princess for the Daning Dynasty. This is truly cause for celebration." "I didn't expect the news to spread so quickly. I'm sorry to have made mother worried." Lu Changjing said with a smile.

Hua Yanqiu said: "This is a major event that the whole world is celebrating. I came here as soon as I heard about it. Since the emperor will favor the three palaces and six courtyards in three years, some things should be prepared."

"What's the matter?" Lu Changjing asked puzzledly.

Hua Yanqiu smiled sweetly: "Of course it's about the selection of concubines. There are not many concubines in the palace now, how can it be enough for the emperor to visit. He must select another group of concubines to enter the palace."

"Uh..." Lu Changjing was stunned: "I remember that in addition to more than a dozen concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards, there are dozens of noble ladies and concubines, so there should be no need for a selection."

He is just one person, how can he use so many things? It's too extravagant.

Hua Yanqiu shook his head: "How can a few dozen be enough? We need at least a hundred. Leave this matter to me. Your Majesty, just focus on your cultivation."

Lu Changjing wanted to say something but was stopped by Cao Wenzheng, who sent a message to him, asking him to agree directly.

"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you, mother." Lu Changjing nodded.

Hua Yanqiu smiled with satisfaction: "I will take care of the affairs of the harem. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has never held a beauty pageant."

"This time I will definitely hold a general election and send all the best girls in the entire dynasty to the palace for the emperor to choose from."

Although it sounded very exciting, Lu Changjing calmed down when he thought that he could only watch but not eat for the time being.

After Queen Mother Hua Yanqiu left, Cao Wenzhen felt a little worried. He had not expected that yesterday's incident would cause such a big disturbance.

Lin Yixin alone is enough of a headache, and now even the Queen Mother has intervened. How should we deal with it three years later?

Thinking of the scene of Ning Zhongyu being surrounded by many concubines and beauties seeking favor after he came out of seclusion, Cao Wenzhen felt a chill all over his body. He hoped that His Majesty would be mentally prepared by then.

This incident had a greater impact than Lu Changjing and Cao Wenzhen had imagined. With the arrival of Empress Dowager Hua Yanqiu, the news that the emperor would visit many concubines in three years quickly spread throughout the court and the country.

Not only did everyone in the Daning Dynasty know about this, but even the surrounding countries knew about it and were talking about it.

"I didn't expect that the monk emperor of the Daning Dynasty finally decided to visit the concubines. Does this mean he is not going to attack the realm of gods and demons again?"

"It is not easy to perfect the Hidden Yang Technique in three years. Could it be that Ning Zhongyu has another adventure?"

"As long as his Cang Yang Technique is broken, it will be difficult for Ning Zhongyu to break through to the realm of gods and demons."

“But if the Hidden Yang Technique is perfected, it can continue to work even if it is broken.”

……

Amid the clamor, many powerful officials and nobles registered their girls of marriageable age to participate in the talent show.

Although Ning Zhongyu was ridiculed as a monk emperor by surrounding countries, no one could deny his talent.

He broke through to the level of Grandmaster of Meridians at the age of twenty-five, and had already entered the level of Intermediate Grandmaster of Four Meridians. He had a promising future.

If the defects of the Huangji Divine Art system can be solved, there is a great possibility that he will be able to step into the level of Martial God in the future and bring the Daning Dynasty into the ranks of Divine Dynasties.

Such talent is rare in the entire Chinese land. If one could combine with it, the offspring born would surely be extraordinary.

Coupled with his identity as Emperor Daning, he naturally attracted countless beautiful girls to flock to him.

Lu Changjing would never have thought that one day he would be remembered by so many beautiful women. In his previous life, even a fat woman with a 30-point appearance looked down on him as a young man with nothing, no money, and no reputation.
