Xingnong and Chu Tiankuo, in tacit agreement, moved some stone sculptures, colorful flowers, potted plants and the like placed nearby and placed them at a specific position on the Tai Chi Bagua diagram.
Mr. Guo stood by, stroking his beard and watching, as if thinking about something.
The others gathered around, watching quietly. Some stared in deep thought, some were confused, and no one dared to disturb them.
Everyone knows that the two are breaking the formation at this moment.
After that, Xing Nong held a white stone and said to everyone: "Please everyone get into this formation. We can get out soon."
Upon hearing this, everyone walked into the formation.
Then Chu Tiankuo and Xingnong simultaneously placed the giant round pebbles, one black and one white, in their hands on the two black and white points in the middle respectively.
Suddenly, a strong light burst out from all around the Tai Chi Bagua diagram. Everyone felt the black and white Tai Chi diagrams under their feet slowly turning, then changing positions. The surroundings became bright, and then they were sent out!
The ancient bells rang, one after another, distant and long!
There was silence for a moment, and then suddenly there was a burst of overwhelming cheers:
“The formation has been broken!”
“The formation has been broken!”
... ...
"The first ancient formation has been successfully broken! Princess Xingnong is mighty!"
"Princess Xingnong is mighty, the best formation master in the world!"
"Princess Xingnong is the best formation master in the world!"
... ...
The formation masters and people of Jin were extremely excited.
The four countries all have ancient formations, but the four ancient formations of Jin are the best among the four countries, and no one has ever broken them in more than a hundred years!
Now, someone has broken two ancient formations in one day. How can we not be happy
Moreover, I heard that this first ancient formation, if used on the battlefield, can be used for attack or defense, and can ensure peace for a region for eternity!
Now they have a formation master in Jin State who can break this formation. How can they be unhappy
No one doesn't like peace, and no one likes constant war and displacement.
The people also heard that Princess Xingnong had developed high-yield grain varieties, pest-free vegetables and a four-season formation, in which vegetables and fruits of all seasons could be grown.
The king of Jin planned to find several places to set up four-season formations, specifically for growing high-yield crops and pest-free vegetables.
In other words, it is very likely that everyone will be able to eat fruits and vegetables all year round in the future.
In this way, will we still have to worry about having nothing to eat during the lean period in the future
The king of Jin arranged for people to spread the news, and rumors began to spread among the people:
"One is the first formation of ancient times, one is the four-season formation, high-yield crops, and pest-free vegetables. In the future, our Jin State will surely be able to enjoy another hundred years of prosperity and peace!"
"Princess Xingnong is truly the lucky star of our Jin State. She has just returned and has brought such great blessings to everyone! Our Jin State will surely prosper forever!"
... ..
In the next few days, the people of Jin were discussing Xingnong, saying that she was the royal lucky star and that her return would surely bring a hundred years of prosperity and peace to Jin.
These rumors were intentionally spread by the King of Jin because he was about to establish a queen, and he was worried that someone would say that Shen Ruoxi and Xing Nong were of low status, causing them and their daughter to suffer injustice.
Therefore, he deliberately spread Xingnong's achievements and abilities to make Xingnong famous among the people. In this way, no one would pay attention to their backgrounds. Even if someone made a fuss about their backgrounds and criticized them, there would be people who would speak for them.
Even before Xing Nong officially recognized her ancestry, she was already loved by the people. Everyone was looking forward to the ceremony of establishing the queen.
The palace staff had been extremely busy these days, and the concubines in the harem were all restless.
The four concubines who had princes by their side were fine, because their sons were all grown up, the crown prince was established, the relationship between the brothers was good, and the relationship with Xingnong was also good. Although the queen was favored, they had nothing to worry about.
After all, when the prince ascends the throne, they can leave the palace with their sons and become concubines in the prince's palace. Their status will still be noble and they can be the masters of the family.
But those concubines who had only been in the palace for a few years could no longer sit still.
The emperor was not a sex-conscious person and never liked going to the harem. It was common for him to only go there once every few months.
However, the emperor was very fair to the concubines in the harem. He treated them equally. All concubines had the same number of days to sleep with the emperor, and they all chose days when it was easy to get pregnant. They were impartial, just one or two days. Whether they could get pregnant depended on their luck. Therefore, the emperor did not have a strong sexual desire, but he still had many princes.
But since the emperor brought the queen back, they have become decorations.
Now the emperor goes to the harem every day, but he only goes to Kunning Palace, and he asks for water every night, sometimes more than once!
This completely broke their perception. She wanted water every night, more than once, and this was not considered as not having strong desire
As a result, all the young concubines could not sit still! The most worried was Li Meiren, who came from the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War.
Concubine Li had never been favored since she entered the palace. She was jealous that Noble Lady An had been favored earlier than herself and was pregnant with the royal heir. She was also not happy to see a person of humble origin sitting on the throne and suppressing herself.
She knew Concubine An. She knew that she was born into the Duke of Huguo's mansion, had a noble family background, and was now pregnant. How could she be willing to be left behind
Li Meiren, who was a close friend of An Guiren and knew her personality well, casually said, "Sister, has the clothing bureau delivered the palace dress you will wear for the ceremony of establishing the empress in five days?"
The weather was hot, and An Gui was pregnant these days. Everyone went to watch the battle formation competition, but she stayed in the palace. She couldn't eat or sleep well, so An Guiren felt a little annoyed. She touched the dragon seed in her belly and said impatiently, "Not yet. Isn't there still five days? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Lady Li shook her head. "Of course, there's no rush for my dress, but your belly is getting bigger every day. Why hasn't the clothing department sent you some clothes to try on and see if they fit? Even if they don't fit, there's still time to alter them!"
Concubine An paused while touching her belly. "Maybe the palace costumes for the Empress and Princess Xingnong haven't been made yet!"
Lady Li shook her head. "Two days ago, I saw people from the Clothing Bureau taking clothes for the Empress and Princess Xingnong to try on. The Emperor really dotes on the Empress and Princess Xingnong, which makes my sister very envious. I saw that the rubies on the Empress' phoenix coronet were bigger and more numerous than those on the Empress Dowager's original phoenix coronet. I also saw that the princess's crown was a purple gemstone crown that was tributed from the Western Regions last year. How rare have purple gemstones been since ancient times? The Imperial Concubine asked the Emperor for one, but he refused. I heard that Princess Xingnong likes purple, so the Emperor gave it to her."
When Concubine An heard about the purple sapphire crown, her face changed. It was brought into the palace from an overseas country last year. She liked it at first sight and she also asked the emperor for it.
The emperor said at the time that he would give it to the little princess as a reward after he gave birth to her.
But now the princess in her belly hasn't been born yet, and she has given it to Chen Xingnong
What about the princess in her belly
This is simply outrageous!
She even dared to snatch the princess's things!
An Guiren was so angry that she stood up, and then her stomach hurt. She was so scared that her face turned pale and she held her stomach.
Concubine Li was startled and stood up to support her: "Sister, what are you doing?"
Can't let anything happen in front of her!
If anything was to happen, it had to happen in front of the Queen Mother and Princess Xingnong, otherwise she would be charged with the crime of murdering the royal heir.
"It's okay. I'll go see if the Clothing Bureau has made my clothes." An Guiren's stomach hurt for a moment and then it went away. She regained her color and strode out.
She felt uncomfortable, but she didn't dare to question the emperor, nor did she dare to question the queen and the princess. However, she still dared to take it out on someone from the Shangyi Bureau!
The emperor values offspring very much, and the little princess in her belly is her golden ticket to immunity from death!
Those servants in the Clothing Bureau dared to ignore me, they were simply courting death!
No one noticed that after Concubine An walked out, a smile flashed across Concubine Li's eyes.
The Queen Mother has been admiring the peonies in the Imperial Garden every day recently, and the way to the Shangyi Bureau passes through the Peony Garden.
The emperor values his heirs, and anyone who plots to murder the heir will be executed along with all his family members! There is a precedent for this, so the concubines in the harem never dare to harm the concubines who are pregnant.
If the Queen caused Concubine An to have a miscarriage, could the ceremony of enthroning the Queen be held in five days
The maidservant An Guiren hurriedly took the paper umbrella to shade herself from the sun and followed anxiously: "Master, wait a minute! Don't walk so fast! Be careful of the little princess in your belly!"
Lady Li followed with an anxious look on her face: "Sister, slow down! Be careful of the baby in your belly~"
