I Just Won't Play By The Book
chapter-271

"Have you mastered any of the cultivation techniques I taught you last time?"Jiang Beiran asked Gu Qinghuan after a moment of surprise.

Gu Qinghuan lowered her head in disappointment and cupped her hands.""Qinghuan is too stupid, wasting Shixiong's elixirs and cultivation techniques."

"Even five books are not enough?"

For a cultivator, it was definitely not enough to just have dense Xuan Qi. If he could not match it with some skilled moves, no matter how dense Xuan Qi was, it was no different from brute force.

In other words, if one could not use a move to draw out the mystic qi, the mystic qi would not be able to unleash its greatest power.

For this reason, Jiang Beiran had specially given Gu Qinghuan five secret manuals and asked him to pick his favorite one to practice, but unexpectedly, all of them had been wiped out.

'Hiss... Could it be that he only specializes in the Heavenly Yuan Spirit Technique?'

Because of the rapid improvement of the True Essence Heavenly Concealment Skill, Jiang Beiran almost forgot that Gu Qinghuan's aptitude was very ordinary before this. It could even be said that it was a little bad.

He thought that if he found the first suitable cultivation technique for him, it would be smoother in the future, but now it seemed that it would not work.

"It's fine, I'll go find some for you. During this period of time, you should practice the True Origin Heavenly Dipper Secrets."

"Yes." Gu Qinghuan cupped his hands and replied.

After that, he told Gu Huan some trivial matters and Jiang Beiran let him go back first.

Looking up at the starry sky, Jiang Beiran recalled what Gu Qinghuan and Wu Qingce had written down in the book.""Let's go for a private visit."

In fact, Jiang Beiran had thought about this when he first became the Emperor. After all, when he had read " Kangxi's Private Visit in Incognito ", Jiang Beiran had felt the most exhilarated when the Emperor was humiliated by the officials of the bailiffs 'union. San Dezi and Fa Yin had jumped out and shouted at the same time.

"Do you know who he is?"

The bailiffs would also answer cooperatively,""I don't care who he is! If you keep talking, I'll catch both of you together!"

Then, it was a standard fight scene. After the seal defeated all the villains, San Dezi took out a gold medal and shouted,"This is the current Emperor! Kneel down!"

In an instant, all the fiends, ghosts, and monsters had to kneel on the ground.

Jiang Beiran had wanted to experience this feeling for a long time. He could pretend to be cool and also get down to business at the same time. It was killing two birds with one stone. Why not?

Besides, he could only use it to farm points when he encountered such things in the past. Now that he had the support of the leaders of the black and white gangs, he should not jump to the option of meddling in Feng Zhou's business.

Besides, Jiang Beiran did not have to worry about who would be in charge of the country after he left. After the court session, he could just fly over to a random place on his cloud. After he was done with his act, he would be able to fly back in the evening. It would not delay anything at all.

"I really think it's exciting."

While Jiang Beiran was planning the route to fight corruption, Deng Xianghan, who was dressed as a palace maid, came to the entrance of a palace garden with a food box. He knocked on the door twice.

With a creak, the door slowly opened. A palace maid poked her head out. The moment she saw Deng Xianghan, her eyes widened.

"Eldest Princess!" The palace maid shouted excitedly.

"Shh!" Deng Xianghan quickly covered the palace maid's mouth,"I don't dare to shout like that now. It'll be troublesome if someone hears me."

Only then did the palace maid realize that she had done something wrong and hurriedly nodded.

After confirming that the palace maid understood, Deng Xianghan let go of her hands and asked,""Is Mother asleep?"

Hearing the word 'mother', the palace maid, who was used to hearing her mother's name, felt very uncomfortable. However, she still quickly replied,"I haven't slept yet. Madam heard the Silver Bell Lord... No, after Second Miss and Third Miss returned, they have been waiting for you. They even said..."

"Who's outside? Is it Xiang 'er?"

Just as the palace maid was recounting today's situation, Lin Miaoyi walked out and asked.

"Mother!"

As soon as she saw Lin Miaoyi, Deng Xianghan immediately ran towards her while shouting.

After confirming that it was her daughter, Lin Miaoyi did not care about her empress's manners. She ran into the courtyard without even wearing her shoes and hugged Deng Xianghan tightly.

"My good daughter, my good daughter, you're finally back!"

Deng Xianghan buried her head in Lin Miaoyi's chest and felt her mother's anxiety. She said,""Didn't I ask Xiao Shan to inform you that I'm back? Did that girl forget?"

"I've said it, I've said it." Lin Miaoyi said as she stroked Deng Xianghan's back,"But Mother is looking at Shan 'er. Yue' er and the others have returned, but you haven't."

Lin Miaoyi took a step back and grabbed Deng Xianghan's shoulders,""Why are you wearing this? What did you do today?"

"Yes... The emperor made me his personal palace maid."

"A palace maid?" Lin Miaoyi looked at Deng Xianghan strangely," Just you alone?"

"Yes, just me." Deng Xianghan nodded.

Instantly, Lin Miaoyi revealed a look of understanding." So that's how it is. It seems that my Xiang 'er's looks are indeed the most outstanding."

"Aiya! Mother, what are you thinking?" Deng Xianghan knew that Lin Miaoyi was definitely thinking in that direction.

"Could it be that mother was wrong? There are so many princesses and you're the only one to be a palace maid. Don't tell me that the emperor doesn't have any interest in you."

After listening to this, Deng Xianghan couldn't help but think of the Emperor's disdainful eyes when he looked at her chest, as well as his eyes that had neither desire nor pity. She immediately shook her head and said,"The new emperor cares about the world and has no interest in matters between men and women. I followed him for a day and knew that he was really an extremely diligent and good emperor."

Upon hearing the word " emperor ", Lin Miaoyi sighed." Let's go back to the house first. We'll talk about it when we get back.""

Back in the house, Deng Xianghan sat on a high chair covered with bear skin and told Lin Miaoyi everything that happened after she came back. Of course, she had hidden the matter of Liang from the Emperor. She did not want her mother to know too much.

After listening to Deng Xianghan's narration, Lin Miaoyi sighed and said,""I know that the emperor is diligent. Ever since he entered the palace, other than the first day he came to Yuxiu Palace, he has never come again. Many of the concubines in the palace were very uneasy at the beginning, deeply afraid that a sudden edict would chase us out."

"Fortunately, two months have passed. Although the emperor seems to have forgotten us, he has no intention of chasing us away."
