The Mirror of Startling Beauty: Her courtiers are everywhere

On the high platform, the princes and princesses looked at each other in bewilderment.

"All the brother and sister stuff is fake!"

Prince Rui, Tang Ximo, took a deep breath, then another.

He suddenly understood.

He murmured, his voice carrying a hint of sudden realization, as if waking from a dream.

"So it was all just for fun?"

King Wu of Tangxi Lie added a sentence.

"Tsk, my royal brother's scheme is so clever, I heard it all back in the fiefdom. What 'precious pearl in the palm of my hand,' what 'moon of the stars'—isn't it just 'my darling'?"

He stroked his chin, lost in thought.

"If I had learned this trick sooner, I wouldn't be single now."

Fourth Princess Tang Xi nodded slightly, her almond-shaped eyes gleaming with gossip.

"Case solved, brothers! Why hasn't the Emperor established an Empress all these years? And why does he grant Zhizhi's every wish?"

The group exchanged glances and all looked toward Tang Xixue.

The reverence in that gaze deepened.

Heaven knows how much their elder brother doted on Zhizhi.

She's not of royal blood from Tangxi, yet she's even more favored than if she were, okay?

That's the kind of pampering that goes to the bone, the kind that involves spending every day and night in bed with someone...

Even—their future sister-in-law!

Good heavens!

Stimulate!

"Did you guys notice? The way my brother looked at Zhizhi when he was speaking just now—"

"Tsk tsk tsk, so gentle it's almost sweet. I don't think he's ever been this gentle with us before."

Tang Ximo took a deep breath, suppressing the surging shock in her heart.

I originally thought my elder brother was a beast.

I only realized now—it's a nurturing system.

My elder brother really knows how to have fun.

A child bride raised from childhood?

King Wu of Tangxi Lie summarized it.

"I give full marks to my brother for this move. He raised her from a young age, knows her inside and out, spoils her into a habit, and fosters dependence—when Zhizhi grows up, she won't be able to run away even if she wants to, because her heart and eyes are full of her brother."

He gave a thumbs up:

"Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. This isn't the art of rulership; it's the art of love."

"Alright, stop talking. If you keep going, I'm afraid my brother will get angry and banish us all to guard the imperial tombs."

Prince Rui, Tang Ximo, lowered his voice:

"That's enough, just keep it in mind. Next time you see Zhizhi, remember to call her 'Sister-in-law'."

They all kept their voices down, chirping crickets in the corner, none of them daring to approach the main character.

On the high pavilion, Empress Dowager Bai Yining spoke slowly.

"It was just a misunderstanding."

She slightly raised her phoenix eyes and swept her gaze across the entire room.

The crowd that had been surging just moments before fell silent instantly in the distance.

"Zhizhi was adopted by me in the past, and she is indeed not of the bloodline of the Tangxi royal family."

"But that won't change her status."

A hammer is fixed.

The clansmen looked at each other, but no one dared to refute them.

This is a precious pearl that the Empress Dowager raised herself.

Emperor Shengchen has not yet established an empress.

Who knows if this adopted daughter, who has no blood relation to him, will directly become—Empress Chenyao?

Thinking about it this way, it's surprising that even without blood ties, she can fly even higher!

Shen Yan stood in the crowd, gradually recovering from her ecstasy.

The ecstasy was so intense that it made her dizzy.

But now, that ecstasy is slowly cooling down.

She gazed at the snow-white figure on the high platform, at the increasingly awe-inspiring looks the princes and princesses gave Tang Xixue, and at the Empress Dowager's few words, spoken with understated yet weighty significance—

Suddenly I felt like a clown.

"Then what am I?"

She murmured, her voice so low that only she could hear it.

Does nobody care about me?

She is of royal blood from Tangxi.

She has the Iris Seal.

She is a real princess.

But the Empress Dowager merely glanced at her indifferently, her tone as flat as if she were discussing a trivial matter:

"Since they are descendants who have been separated from their ancestors, then they should choose a day to recognize their ancestors and return to their clan."

To acknowledge one's ancestors and return to one's roots.

That's it?

That's it!

Shen Yan lowered her eyes, concealing the resentment and unwillingness in them.

She suddenly understood.

Tang Xixue holds a special place in the hearts of Emperor Shengchen and Empress Dowager.

No one can shake it.

No one can replace him.

"Aaaaaah—!"

A scream suddenly echoed throughout the entire venue.

The sound was so sharp it almost pierced eardrums, as if it could overturn the entire landscape.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

On the seats of the Azure Wave Immortal Dynasty, Princess Kong Sangling stood up excitedly, pointed in the direction of the high platform, and her voice changed.

"Brother! Look! Look!"

The direction she was pointing was the hollowed-out silver token at Tang Xixue's waist, engraved with the words "Weaving Fate".

The token shimmered with a warm luster in the sunlight, its intricate and delicate openwork patterns resembling a miniature star map.

"The token at Princess Mirror's waist!"

"It must be the Xuan Tie Life-and-Death Token from the Divine Medicine Valley's Life-Weaving Physician!"

"Princess Mirror—"

"So it's the Heavenly Physician!"

Every word she uttered was like a thunderclap.

The entire venue erupted in cheers.

The boiling came too violently and too fast, like a volcanic eruption or a tsunami.

Kong Sangyu, the Lord of Mountains and Seas, who originally had little interest in the sacrificial ceremony and spent the entire time hiding behind a gauze curtain to pet his cat, was originally uninterested in it.

The gauze curtain was suddenly lifted.

The movement was too sudden and too violent, causing the gauze curtains to rustle loudly as he pulled them.

Those blue eyes suddenly widened and fell on the high platform.

Her long, silver-blue hair cascaded down like a spring, gently swaying in the wind.

The usual languid expression on that handsome young man's face froze instantly.

"The token of the Heavenly Physician of Life..."

His voice was somewhat ethereal, like a dream, or as if his soul had been shaken away by some enormous impact.

"It's the Heavenly Physician..."

He paused, then his voice suddenly rose.

"She—she's actually the Heavenly Physician!"

The boy was so shocked by the enormous impact that his scalp tingled.

"How...how is this possible?"

On the seat of the Star Ze Empire.

Si Xingxuan suddenly stood up.

"Junior Uncle?"

His voice trembled, and he swayed unsteadily, almost fainting from excitement.

"Tang Xixue is actually my junior martial aunt..."

"No wonder she can use those rare and unique prescriptions so easily..."

He suddenly remembered his previous attitude towards her.

Those indifferences, those alienations, those vicious words.

At that moment, Si Xingxuan felt like he was about to crumble into dust.

"Was my attitude towards Junior Uncle that bad before?"

He murmured, his voice growing softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.

He shattered once again.

He actually dared to mock and ridicule his most admired junior uncle...

He even crawled under his junior uncle's bed.

Such an embarrassing thing actually happened?

Although the person is still alive, their soul has been gone for some time.

Si Xingzhou sat beside him, glancing guiltily at his younger brother.

Then, I silently looked away.

He already knew.

But he didn't say.

He glanced at Princess Ling speechlessly:

"This girl has such a loud voice, she could go crow."

Princess Ling's scream was heard by almost everyone in the audience.

All the chickens in the Beichen Empire are unemployed today.

He clicked his tongue softly.

Now the whole world knows she's the Heavenly Physician.

All eyes turned to the high platform.

Those who were secretly muttering "Tang Xixue is so lucky" and "Why does this fake princess have the right to be like this?"

They've all gone mad right now.

"Ahhh! It's the Heavenly Physician!"

"How come the royal family of Tangxi is so lucky?"

"Did Emperor Shengchen save all living beings in the Nine Provinces in his past life? How could he allow the Heavenly Physician of Destiny to fall into his family's hands!"

"Master Heavenly Doctor! Master Heavenly Doctor!"

"Greetings, Your Excellency the Heavenly Physician!"

At this moment, not only the city of Shanheque was abuzz with excitement.

The crowds watching the ceremony went wild.

They all knelt down and bowed in worship towards the high platform.

The shouts rose like a tidal wave, one wave higher than the next, more devout than when bowing to an emperor.

"Greetings, Your Excellency the Heavenly Physician!"

The Heavenly Physician of Life has saved countless lives.

She is a legend of Kyushu.

She was a goddess who healed the sick and benefited all living beings.

She is the Heavenly Physician whose name is engraved on the Nine Provinces Thousand Autumns Ranking.

How could a mere princess compare?

Emperor Qi Zhan of Yun Chuan, who was leaning back in his chair, froze slightly.

He gazed at the magnificent scene of the people worshipping, the crowd kneeling on the ground, and the snow-white figure standing on the high platform, admired by thousands.

Suddenly I felt a tightness in my chest.

"no?"

"And nobody told me—"

"Pei Xiaogou's owner is the Heavenly Physician of Destiny Weaver."

Weaving Fate, Heavenly Physician.

The faith of countless people across the Nine Provinces.

To my surprise—she was touched by Pei Xiaogou.

What merit or ability does he possess?

Qi Zhan leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.

He suddenly realized.

Pei Yanchuan, you really deserve to die.

How come he's so lucky?
