Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 193 The Princess's Embroidered Robe Has Come to Life!!!

Zhengze finally took a good look at the princess. She was wearing a bright green gauze dress, and her delicate features were still wet with tears. Her red and swollen eyes were filled with adoration. Her pale cheeks and pale lips told a story of her fragility. She was a woman who had been pampered since birth. As the emperor's daughter, she was raised in this deep palace. It was said that she was not favored now and usually spent most of her time in Zhu Fang Palace. What news could she possibly know?

"Can you please stop making things worse! The monster that appeared in the palace is a powerful demon, the kind that can kill a whole bunch of people with a wave of its hand. What do you know about it?!"

Zhengze felt extremely irritable whenever he saw the princess, and his tone of voice became somewhat aggressive.

"But...but..." The princess was frightened by the look of disgust on his face. She moved her lips twice and turned her face away.

Zhengze was finally satisfied. He looked at Yan Ning, who had been watching the commotion, and was about to ask for his opinion when he heard a weak voice from the side.

"Husband...Husband..." The princess seemed to have made up her mind again, turning her head back: "I...I know...Husband, you are very capable. I really don't know what you're talking about. But, husband, I grew up in the palace. No one here knows this place better than me. You can't deny that!!"

She seemed to have finally mustered her courage, raising her head to look at Zhengze: "Moreover, it's common knowledge that immortals exist in this world. Some families in your Jianghu have cultivation methods, so how do you know that the royal family that rules the world doesn't have them? You should know that there are always many people who yearn for immortality, especially those like Father Emperor. They hold high positions and have power and status. Immortality is their higher pursuit. Otherwise, why would Father Emperor have arranged for Lord Lan to enter the palace? Isn't Father Emperor's goal to achieve immortality?"

Her outburst startled Zhengze. After thinking for a moment, he felt that what the princess said made sense: "But on the other hand, the fact that your father brought in the Blue Madman means that he doesn't know how to cultivate, doesn't it?"

"No way!!!" The princess suddenly stood up, crouching low as she approached Zhengze: "How could Father not know how to cultivate?! Husband! Do you know that most of the officials in this court know how to cultivate?!"

"!!!" Zhengze's eyes widened in shock. "Impossible!!!"

If so many people knew how to cultivate, wouldn't the world be in complete chaos?!

“How could it be impossible…” Yan Ning stroked her chin and said softly.

"Huh?" The collar of the embroidered robe in her arms tilted slightly. "Oh~ I understand. The princess said they all know how to cultivate, but she didn't say they can all cultivate. Does this mean that those people know how to cultivate, but they haven't been able to draw qi into their bodies?"

The first step in cultivation is to guide qi into the body, which applies in any world.

After Yu Liu said that, Zheng Ze realized what was going on.

"Yes! That's exactly what I meant." Interrupted by Yan Ning and Yu Liu, the princess's momentum weakened. She sat back down, lowered her head, and slowly said, "I just wanted to tell my husband... don't underestimate the imperial court. There are many hidden depths within it. The great families in the martial arts world have cultivated for hundreds or thousands of years, and the imperial court has also changed hands for hundreds or thousands of years. Every emperor in power dreams of immortality. They have sent people to collect many cultivation techniques, some of which are even more powerful than the top-tier techniques passed down in the martial arts world. It's just that... without a senior to guide them, very few people can successfully comprehend and cultivate them."

"You all don't know this, but I really want to say that I can help!!"

She spoke earnestly, looking sincerely at Zhengze.

Zhengze felt a little uncomfortable under her words and gaze, but he really didn't dare to underestimate her: "Then tell me, what exactly do you know?"

Upon being affirmed by the regular expression, two blushes immediately rose to the princess's cheeks. She lowered her head shyly, a big smile spreading across her face: "My husband~"

Her happy expression made Zhengze feel awkward and uncomfortable. He was awkward because he clearly understood that he had nothing to do with the princess, and he felt uncomfortable because... the princess's intense feelings, although not for him, were still quite enviable.

"I...I already told you I'm not your husband, so...you shouldn't call me that anymore."

Seeing the princess's flushed cheeks turn pale instantly, Zhengze couldn't bear it and could only change the subject: "Hurry up and tell me, what do you know?"

The princess bit her lip, holding back the tears welling up in her eyes: "...I don't know anything about my husband's field, but...I learned something by chance that might be helpful to him."

"What's going on?" Yu Liu asked curiously, her ears perked up, eager to hear the story.

"This... happened not long ago. That day, my younger sister went to the palace to pay her respects to Father. I don't know what she said, but she came to see me that day and said she wanted to talk to me about something. I was actually very suspicious, but I thought that my younger sister had no reason to harm me, so I went out with her."

"Go out?" Zhengze keenly grasped the key point.

"Yes, I was quite puzzled at the time. There aren't many people in my palace, so I don't have to worry about being overheard, but my sister insisted on going out to talk about it, which is quite unusual." Hearing Zhengze's response, the princess blushed and lowered her voice.

"So you mean to say that this powerful demon hidden in the palace might be related to the Second Princess?" Zhengze slowly pondered the possibility, then suddenly felt something was off: "Hey, right, if I remember correctly, the Emperor only has two daughters, right?"

"Okay!" Yu Liu replied politely.

"So..." Zhengze looked at the shy princess, "The eunuch Xiao Anzi said that the prince consort outside the palace was in trouble, and General Wang said that you have just come of age and have not yet been betrothed by the emperor. So that means that this prince consort is the second princess's?"

"Yes." The princess nodded.

"Isn't it?"

Even Yu Liu was somewhat surprised, let alone Zhengze.

“But aren’t you the eldest princess? In ancient times, shouldn’t marriage be based on seniority? The eldest should come first… right?” Yu Liu asked Yan Ning for confirmation.

“Yes!” Yan Ning nodded with a smile. Although there are special circumstances, this is indeed the general rule. Moreover, since these two princesses are members of the royal family, they should abide by this rule even more.

"Ancient times?" The princess repeated the word, not quite understanding the meaning of Yu Liu's first sentence, but she grasped the overall meaning of what Yu Liu said. "This... actually has a reason..."

"The reason?" Yu Liu suddenly remembered that the princess always called Zhengze her husband, and shifted her gaze to Zhengze: "...Could it be because of him? Did you two have a touching love story that he carelessly forgot?"

"No...it's not..."

The princess shook her head somewhat awkwardly, and what she said next made Yu Liu fully realize the emperor's incompetence.
