We said we would experience life, fairy, how did you become real?.

Chapter 429 From now on, this harem is going to be quite lively! (4000 words)
After Si Li became Xiao Mo's personal maid and gained his trust, she stayed by his side every day.

At first, Si Li really didn't understand much about palace affairs.

However, after consulting with the palace maid Yang'er several times, Si Li quickly mastered all the affairs.

Then Si Li realized that her master's life had indeed been far too difficult.

The master really did become a puppet emperor, with nothing of real importance to do all day long except for cultivation and reading.

With nothing for Xiao Mo to do, Si Li naturally didn't have much to do either.

However, even though Xiao Mo is a mascot, Si Li is still proud of her master.

Putting everything else aside, the master has only been cultivating for a year, yet he has already reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining and is about to establish his foundation.

For ordinary people, even those with exceptional talent, it takes three to four years to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

Even in a top sect, the master's talent for cultivation would be enough to make him a direct disciple.

For an emperor to establish a foundation, how easy is it?
Cultivation is inherently a matter of defying the will of Heaven.

Moreover, he was an emperor.

In Si Li's view, if the master does not resign from his imperial position and forcibly cultivates as an emperor, then he is not only going against the heavens, but stealing the secrets of heaven!

Si Li also didn't quite understand why her master wanted to stay in the palace and not go to other sects.

Unable to come up with a reason, Si Li stopped thinking about it.

I will find an opportunity to take my master out of the palace and then head to the Western Regions.

Once we return to the Western Regions, everything will be much easier.

So what if it's the Ten Thousand Swords Sect?

Do you think your Ten Thousand Swords Sect can reach into my Western Regions?
While taking care of Xiao Mo, Si Li would also go to Lingxin Palace every two days to report Xiao Mo's condition to the Empress Dowager.

When going to the Empress Dowager's palace, Si Li would wrap her breasts with a breast wrap again, and then unwrap them when she returned, and then tell Xiao Mo about the Lingxin Palace.

These palace intrigues and power struggles were not very important to Si Li.

If her master wished, Si Li felt she could kill all those people and then leave with her master, or perhaps return the Zhou Kingdom to her master.

But
The woman in the Imperial Tutor's residence made Si Li dare not have any thoughts about her for the time being.

In recent days, through Si Li's inquiries and subtle questioning of Xiao Mo, it was learned that the masked woman in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion was just an inner disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, serving as the Imperial Preceptor of the Zhou Kingdom by order of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

But in reality, Si Li knew very well that she could not possibly be just an ordinary inner disciple.

Others may not know, but I've fought her before, so how could I not know?
Whose inner disciple is at the Ascension Realm?
And in this world.

There are very few sword cultivators who have reached the Ascension Realm.

Among them, there is only one female sword cultivator in this world who has reached the Ascension Realm.

This person is Jiang Qingyi, the sect leader of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

Why would Jiang Qingyi, the sect leader of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, appear in the Zhou Kingdom's palace?

He actually willingly became a national advisor?
Si Li really couldn't understand it.

But Si Li's womanly intuition told her...

Jiang Qingyi definitely has special feelings for her master.

However, Jiang Qingyi's feelings for her master were quite strange.

She seemed to want to get close to her master, but also somewhat repelled him, remaining aloof and distant, lacking the decisiveness of a sword cultivator.

However, it must be admitted that Jiang Qingyi, the sect leader of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, did indeed teach her master something truly valuable.

Just as the master said.

Jiang Qingyi is indeed cold on the outside but warm on the inside, with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

She verbally criticized her master's cultivation, but in reality, she was extremely concerned, fearing that her master might go astray.

In Si Li's opinion, the person she needed to be most careful of was her.

As for the two concubines who will enter the palace in the future.

Si Li never took these two people seriously.

The daughter of a Minister of Rites.

A princess of the Qin state.

They were just two ordinary people.

I have plenty of ways to deal with it.

As for Si Li's thoughts, Xiao Mo couldn't read minds, so he naturally knew nothing about them.

He continued to practice his spirituality and read books every day.

However, Xiao Mo felt that this "Si Li" was indeed quite useful.

She is clever, quick-witted, and efficient in her work.

Of course, Xiao Mo also knew that the premise for him to find her more and more pleasing to the eye was that she was indeed loyal to him.

Ability is indeed important, but sometimes, no matter how capable a person is, loyalty is a prerequisite.

However, Tsukasa is not without her "flaws".

Every time she bent down to serve tea and water to Xiao Mo, he could see the delicate and magnificent snow-capped mountains and seas of fat.

Every time she changed Xiao Mo's clothes, or when she was in close contact with Xiao Mo, her two snow-capped peaks would occasionally touch Xiao Mo.

She would even get her collar wet when she drank water, her thin clothes reflected directly against the towering snow-capped mountains.

A faint blush would occasionally appear on her face, making her look extremely alluring.

However, with two concubines about to enter the palace, Xiao Mo knew he had to keep a close eye on himself.

Not to mention that the Empress Dowager would periodically have female officials check Si Li's innocence.

Therefore, even though Xiao Mo knew her intentions and that she wanted to improve, he turned a blind eye to it.

As time went by, day by day.

The day of Xiao Mo's wedding ceremony is getting closer and closer.

Invitations have already been sent out from the Zhou Kingdom's royal palace.

Although the wedding ceremony had been postponed twice.

But Xiao Mo knew that the wedding ceremony was finally coming.

With only seven days to go before the wedding ceremony, all the feudal lords of Zhou, as well as envoys from dynasties allied with Zhou and deacons from mountain sects, arrived in the Zhou capital.

As the ruler of the Zhou Kingdom, even if he were just a mascot, Xiao Mo would personally greet him.

So from morning till night, Xiao Mo was receiving envoys from various countries and sects, and had no time for cultivation at all.

To be honest, Xiao Mo felt that what Fairy Jiang said earlier wasn't entirely without merit.

Let alone the rule set by the Qin emperor tens of thousands of years ago that emperors' cultivation could not exceed the Foundation Establishment stage.

Even without this rule.

With emperors dealing with state affairs every day and engaging in power struggles and intrigues with their ministers, how much time do they have left for spiritual cultivation?

Unless one is an emperor with an exceptionally extraordinary talent, how high can the realm of an ordinary emperor be?

Even if some emperors are indeed highly accomplished, they still spend most of their time cultivating.

Moreover, once emperors become obsessed with spiritual cultivation, they will hand over the affairs of state to their ministers and then neglect everything else.

These emperors would even seize resources from all over the country to cultivate themselves, no longer treating the people as their subjects, but as nourishment for their cultivation.

What use is a ruler with such high moral character, no matter how great his or her ideals are?

The common people are simply suffering terribly.

Moreover, because these emperors lived long lives, the common people had to suffer for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, with no end in sight.

Besides receiving the envoys, Xiao Mo also needed to walk around and check the wedding arrangements to see if there was anything amiss.

In addition, Xiao Mo also needed to review the documents sent from Lingxin Palace. Although the wedding ceremony was jointly presided over by the Ministry of Rites and the Empress Dowager's Lingxin Palace, Xiao Mo had no say in what they decided.

Regardless, the Ministry of Rites and Lingxin Palace still need Xiao Mo to go through the formalities to improve their reputation, at least to make it seem to outsiders that "everything is decided by His Majesty."

In short, Xiao Mo felt that getting married was more tiring than cultivating for ten years.

Of course, it could also be because he didn't have much affection for the two women he married.

If it's a woman you truly love, you probably wouldn't feel this tired.

However, sometimes, Xiao Mo also felt a little dazed.

It all feels unreal.

Because apart from the fabricated experiences in the Hundred Worlds Book, Xiao Mo never had a lover from beginning to end.

And now, I'm about to get married.

And he married two at once.
This was something Xiao Mo had never considered.

With only four days left until the wedding, most of the guests arrived in the capital.

Lingxin Palace and the Ministry of Rites no longer need to send documents over; let Xiao Mo go through the formalities.

Therefore, Xiao Mo would have Si Li handle some trivial matters in the harem.

When he had free time, Xiao Mo would sit alone on the Dao Asking Altar, lost in thought.

For Xiao Mo, the Daodao Altar was originally a place to conceal his true intentions and cultivate.

But gradually...

This place truly became a place for Xiao Mo to find peace of mind.

Upon arriving at the Daoist Altar and sitting on the stone bricks, Xiao Mo would gradually detach himself from the chaotic and noisy reality and find a moment of tranquility.

Soon, the day was three days before the wedding.

The entire palace is bustling with activity.

Originally, Si Li still had the mind to flirt with Xiao Mo.

But right now, Si Li is so busy that she's completely overwhelmed, and her feet are constantly on the ground.

She just couldn't understand it.

Getting married and going through the wedding ceremony is a very simple matter.

Why is this mortal realm so troublesome?

What's the point of all those red tape?

Can it be eaten as a meal?
Si Li often cursed inwardly while helping Xiao Mo manage the harem.

Two more days have passed.

The day before the wedding arrived.

After today, the grand ceremony will begin.

Since everything was ready, all that was needed was a final check, and that check could only be done by Si Li.

So Xiao Mo once again took some free time and came to the Dao Asking Altar.

In the Daoist altar, Xiao Mo was unsure of what he should do.

He had little interest in cultivation at that time.

Let alone the fact that the Book of a Hundred Generations is not yet ready for the sixth generation.

Even if the sixth life is activated, Xiao Mo would not want to enter the Book of a Hundred Lifetimes today.

Xiao Mo just wanted to be alone for a while and enjoy his "single" life one last time.
So Xiao Mo sat on a stone bench, lost in thought, enjoying the spring breeze and watching the white clouds drifting in the azure sky.

Xiao Mo recalled everything that had happened since he came into this world.

I recall every scene in the book of a hundred lifetimes, so blurry yet still unforgettable.

Unconsciously, Xiao Mo slowly closed his eyes and entered a state of enlightenment.

Xiao Mo felt that everything in the world had disappeared.

Xiao Mo forgot about time, forgot about his surroundings, and even forgot about himself.

It seemed as if Xiao Mo had merged into this world.

Unbeknownst to Xiao Mo, his Dao heart grew increasingly calm, and his spiritual power gradually dissipated.

A few dark clouds drifted into the originally azure sky, obscuring the sun.

Just then, a fragrant breeze blew by, gently touching Xiao Mo's nose and suppressing the spiritual energy he was emitting.

"Humph!"

The woman let out a cold snort.

The sword energy invaded Xiao Mo's body.

Xiao Mo felt a sharp pain and then came to his senses.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw the veiled, graceful Jiang Guoshi standing in front of him.

"Your Majesty is truly leisurely. At a time like this, you still have the mood to comprehend the Dao here, and you almost tried to establish your foundation!"

The woman's cold voice reached Xiao Mo's ears.

"To build a foundation in the palace? Does His Majesty not value his life?"

Xiao Mo shook his head and said with a wry smile, "It was indeed an accident. I never expected that I would gradually enter the Dao."

"Humph."

Jiang Qingyi snorted again, then stepped forward and channeled the three sword energies into Xiao Mo's body.

"I used three sword energies to seal Your Majesty's three spiritual apertures. These three sword energies can suppress Your Majesty's cultivation level for a period of time, but Your Majesty should be careful during this time and refrain from cultivation for the time being."

"Understood." Xiao Mo nodded. "Thank you, Fairy Jiang."

"There's no need to thank me."

Jiang Qingyi turned her head and raised her fair, delicate chin.

"However, His Majesty is about to get married, yet he is still taking a break here. I see that His Majesty's personal maid, who has a very good figure, is so busy that she can't stop for a moment."

"Si Li has indeed worked hard. Once this matter is over, I will naturally reward her and not let her work for nothing."

Xiao Mo answered, then gathered his sleeves, looked up, and fell silent.

Why does His Majesty seem somewhat melancholy about tomorrow's wedding?

Jiang Qingyi glanced at Xiao Mo, her tone tinged with mockery.

"Could it be that Your Majesty is not looking forward to tomorrow's wedding? Both Yan Ruxue and Qin Mujiu are women of unparalleled beauty. If I were Your Majesty, I would probably already be thinking about how to indulge in nightly revelry with the two imperial concubines."

"That's true." Xiao Mo straightened his sleeves and looked up at the outside of the palace. "But one of them was used as a sacrifice for her family, and the other was for the marriage alliance between the two countries. Even though Mu Jiu seems cheerful and lively, do they really want to marry me?"

"Who says they don't want to!" Jiang Qingyi said through gritted teeth. "They definitely do want to!"

"What did Fairy Jiang say?" Xiao Mo didn't hear clearly.

"nothing."

Jiang Qingyi's tone was displeased.

"What I mean is, Your Majesty is neither Yan Ruxue nor Qin Mujiu, so how do you know they really don't want to enter the palace? Even if they don't want to enter the palace, so what? The situation is already settled, does Your Majesty want to change it?"

“That’s true.” Xiao Mo smiled. “In any case, this quiet palace will eventually become a bit more lively.”

"Isn't that right?"

Jiang Qingyi's eyes narrowed, her gaze sharp as a sword.

"This harem is going to be quite lively from now on!"
