"Sir, you flatter me. If I had no intention of having a heart-to-heart talk with you, why would I have visited you so many times? My words of Huaiqing are not meant to test you, but are truly from the bottom of my heart."

The young people of Huaiqing are passionate and ambitious, eager to win, and they also harbor the lofty ambition to emulate the sages, establish their own schools of thought, and create brilliant achievements.

However, my womanhood seems to have become a shackle that binds me, making it difficult for me to realize my ambitions and achieve great things.

"The reason why I have not yet entered the hall of marriage is indeed due to various reasons, as you said."

In fact, over the past two years, I've thought it over carefully. If I've already smoothed out my rough edges, then I'll accept my fate, choose to get married, and stop making futile struggles.

Unwittingly, Huaiqing poured out all his most private thoughts, which no one could hear, not even Wei Yuan, who was half teacher and half friend.

Upon hearing this, Huaiqing felt a great weight lifted from his body and mind. His limbs felt warm again, and his mind returned to tranquility. It was as if all the burdens in his heart had been swept away, and a feeling of exhilaration arose spontaneously.

Unaware that Huaiqing was watching, Su Nan's lips curled slightly.

To truly understand Huaiqing's inner world, one must first become his comrade-in-arms and confidant, so that a deeper bond can be forged between them.

Huaiqing is not Lin'an, and her heart cannot be easily swayed.

The matter of Su Nan has come to an end. Huai Qing's willingness to speak frankly reveals that he regards Su Nan as a close relative. It is not an exaggeration to say that they treat each other with honesty.

"Your Highness, there is no need to worry, I am just trembling."

Although Su Nan had never been deeply involved in court politics, upon hearing this, Huaiqing felt inexplicably at ease, as if he had a solid support behind him.

She suddenly realized that it wasn't she who had approached Su Nan on her own initiative, but rather Su Nan who had spontaneously offered his help. Now, Su Nan's words had given Huai Qing a boost of confidence, putting him at ease.

Huaiqing couldn't help but feel emotional, realizing that his honesty had ultimately won him a clear response from southern Jiangsu.

Although their past conversations revolved around scholarship and military affairs, the situation today is completely different; Su Nan has quietly penetrated the depths of her heart.

As they talked, night quietly fell, and dinner time (Li Wang Zhao) had passed. Su Nan then escorted Princess Huaiqing to the gate of the mansion.

The next day was the Lantern Festival. At this time, the inner city was gradually being lit up with lanterns, and the streets and alleys were bustling with activity, creating a lively and extraordinary scene.

The eldest princess, dressed in a lake-blue palace dress, walked slowly as night fell, her graceful figure captivating all who beheld her.

"Huaiqing".

The princess, who had just stepped into the golden nanmu carriage, suddenly heard Su Nan calling her name.

Chapter 184: Expressing Feelings Through Lyrics, Heart Fluttering and Love Arises

Huaiqing clutched the scroll tightly in his hands, glancing back unintentionally. He was completely unaware that Su Nan had not used honorifics to address him, nor did he notice his own smile, which bloomed like a spring flower and was captivating.

"gentlemen?"

As night fell and the east wind blew gently, thousands of trees burst into bloom, their petals falling like stars in the wind.

Magnificent BMW-style carriages traversed fragrant roads, the melodious sound of phoenix flutes drifted on the breeze, and the light and shadow in the jade pot flickered endlessly. Throughout the night, fish and dragons danced, creating a joyous and lively atmosphere.

Huaiqing's eyes gleamed, and his breathing became shallow and deep. He was careful not to interrupt Su Nan's words.

This is a poem, a poem that vividly depicts a scene. Compared to the poem that was written specifically to praise Lin'an, its dynamism is even more remarkable!

At this moment, Huaiqing was convinced that the so-called "Respectfully Presented to Princess Lin'an" must have been written by Su Nan under duress from the unruly princess of Lin'an.

This poem is filled with praise for Lin'an, and it was clearly written to win the heart of a young girl.

"Moths dance lightly, willow branches are like snow, golden threads entwine, laughter and chatter continue, and a faint fragrance follows every step. I searched through the crowd a thousand times, and suddenly I turned around, only to find that person standing in a place where the lights were sparse."

Huaiqing's smile froze instantly, only then realizing that she had been wearing a gentle, "smiling" smile the whole time, which was completely different from her usual style of doing things.

After hearing the last sentence, Huaiqing fell silent. His lips unconsciously began to murmur, "I searched for him a thousand times in the crowd... Suddenly, I turned around, and there he was... in the dim light."

In that instant, Huaiqing felt her heart pounding rapidly, and she quickly put her hand on her chest.

For a long time, she had been unable to detect the subtle pulse of a heartbeat, but this time, she heard the thunderous sound of a heartbeat with unparalleled clarity.

Looking up and seeing Su Nan's confident smile, Huaiqing suddenly felt flustered, his face turning pale with panic. An unprecedented emotion enveloped his entire body like a dark cloud.

An irresistible urge surged within her; she longed to run to him, to throw herself into Su Nan's arms, and to hold him tightly in her embrace.

A storm raged through Huaiqing's heart, and he panicked. He quickly scrambled into the carriage as if fleeing, closed his eyes tightly, and let his emotions surge and churn.

"What's wrong with me……"

Huaiqing's admiration for Su Nan, aroused by Su Nan's persistent efforts, has grown even stronger. For a woman as sincere as Huaiqing, once such feelings arise, they will be engraved in her heart and never fade.

As his heartbeat gradually calmed down, Huaiqing suddenly shouted out, "Wait! We haven't asked Su Zhexian about the name of this poem yet!"

The maidservant replied, "Your Highness, we are about to arrive at the palace..."

Huaiqing was startled. He had thought he would arrive in no time, but he had not expected to have traveled to such a distant place.

"At the time of parting, Su Shi mentioned that the title of this poem was 'Remembering the Lantern Festival'."

Upon hearing this, Huaiqing smiled inwardly, without using polite words such as "respectfully presented," which was precisely the proper way for close friends to interact.

If the act of presenting jade is merely a formality, presented as "Floating Fragrance" or "Respectfully presented to Princess Lin'an," it is nothing more than a perfunctory gesture, appearing insincere and lacking sincerity.

Princess Huaiqing, known for her competitive spirit, saw this as a glorious victory that filled her with satisfaction.

Chapter 185 Power and Wealth, Nine Revolutions Immortal Refining Technique

After a stick of incense had burned, Huaiqing lay on his bed, repeatedly studying the poems and lyrics given to him by Su Nan, but he was still unable to fall asleep.

"Alas, why not also present the chapters on celebrating the Lantern Festival... After all, the difference between my writing and yours is far too great."

Before her lay Su Nan's "Poems on a Thatched Hut" and her own calligraphy masterpiece, "Celebrating the Lantern Festival."

"No, no, you must have been moved and touched when you saw me turn around in the flashing lights."

That night, Huaiqing revealed a girlish tenderness, embracing the two scrolls as she drifted off to sleep.

"Looking back, there's that person's light..."

"Such an extraordinary man exists in this world."

At dawn the next day, Su Nan sent Xu Lingyue to present the carefully written poem "Lantern Festival Remembrance" to the palace. Huaiqing then placed the scroll of the poem in a prominent place in her boudoir, and hung another scroll in her study.

Huaiqing has always been low-key and reserved, and he doesn't like to spread his beloved poems widely. Most of the time, it's enough for him to know what he's doing.

After two months of rigorous training, Su Nan finally entered the Daoist realm of the third grade.

At this moment, Su Nan has reached the third rank in all three major cultivation systems, and he can be considered to have a sure victory against any second-rank opponent in any system.

In addition, having mastered three of the Nine Secrets of Covering the Sky, Su Nan's martial prowess has jumped into the top fifty of the list.

Over the past six months, southern Jiangsu has seen an upward trend in all rankings, with the most significant leap in the arts and culture category.

Given that Fu Xiang's poems and lyrics from Lin'an were already widely known, and Huai Qing's works were also quietly circulating among literary circles, coupled with the calligraphy and paintings sold in southern Jiangsu, the great talent's fame had already spread throughout the Da Feng region.

The fragrance wafting from the comb has propelled my charm index into the top fifty. Based on past experience, the higher my charm ranking, the more difficult it becomes to improve.

Without deliberate pursuit, both power and wealth easily place them among the top 500. Although their official positions in southern Jiangsu are not prestigious, their influence is not to be underestimated, hence their high ranking on the power list.

During this time, Su Nan drank with a special person in Lin'an and obtained a Taoist manual that could be cultivated to the first rank of Taoism - "Nine Revolutions Immortal Refining Technique".

This technique originates from the Immortal Rebellion World among the myriad worlds, and cultivating it to the first rank of the Daoist sect is more than enough.

Naturally, this set of techniques has also been systematically modified, and its specific advancement rules must also conform to the rules of the Great Feng world.

Recently, Lin'an has been visiting frequently, and the friendship between him and southern Jiangsu has been growing stronger. Southern Jiangsu always manages to make the young girl blush with shyness.

After receiving guidance from Su Nan, Huaiqing felt no longer distant when she revisited Su Nan. However, she still politely declined Wei Yuan's offer.

Chapter 186 Seeking Power and Wealth, and the Unique Advantages of Alchemy

Encouraged by the support of southern Jiangsu, Lin'an still held onto her confidence and was unwilling to rush into marriage, still harboring the ambition to fight for the country.

Once they enter into marriage, both brothers and court officials find ample excuses to prevent them from getting involved in politics.

However, Huaiqing thought to herself that even though she had feelings for Su Nan, she still didn't know for sure what position she held in Su Nan's heart.

In short, there is still a considerable distance between developing feelings of love and discussing marriage.

During his daily strolls in southern Jiangsu, he would often tease Xu Lingyue, which gradually made her skin thicker and her courage grow.

After all, this charming maid has been promoted to a personal concubine!

One day, Chu Caiwei, who had not been there for a month, walked in with a worried look on her face.

"Su Nan, is he all-around capable?"

Chu Caiwei cast a somewhat questioning glance at Xu Lingyue standing next to Su Nan. She saw that Xu Lingyue's cheeks were flushed and she was gently touching her slightly disheveled hair. Chu Caiwei wondered what kind of games she had just spent with Su Nan.

Chu Caiwei was about the same age as Xu Lingyue. Her cheeks were rosy with youth, and her large eyes sparkled brightly. Her eyes were clear and pure like a baby's, making her appear exceptionally innocent and naive.

"You are skilled in poetry and prose, adept in martial arts, knowledgeable in Taoist magic, and also possess exceptional literary talent..."

Power and wealth casually picked up the osmanthus cake on the table, took a small bite, and their eyes immediately lit up with excitement. Their previously low mood suddenly surged and rose.

"We will further optimize the recipe for Guigao (a type of sweet rice cake). After all, is there anything in this world that you can't do?"

Su Nan chuckled: 4

"This is not omnipotent. Has Caiwei encountered any difficulties?"

Chu Caiwei asked expectantly: 7

Are you skilled in alchemy?

"I am a seventh-rank Feng Shui master, while the sixth-rank master is an alchemist. Alchemy is not only profound and difficult to understand, but also extremely tedious. Could you please give me some pointers and teach me the art of alchemy?"

"You've only been a feng shui master for less than a year, why are you in such a hurry?"

With tears welling in her eyes and a hint of helplessness in her voice, Chu Caiwei said:

"It's not that I'm in a hurry; in fact, I have absolutely no interest in alchemy. However, without exploring this path, the road to advancement remains unattainable."

"To reach the rank of a sixth-grade alchemist, one must independently create an unprecedented alchemy technique, promote and popularize it, and win unanimous praise from the people."
