The Mirror of Startling Beauty: Her courtiers are everywhere

"Little Pearl, there's no need to be so polite with your brother."

Xingyu lowered her eyes, her lips curved into a smile, a smile even gentler than the bright moon outside the window.

He leaned against the window, the warm moonlight reflecting off his long, silvery-white hair that gradually turned blue, giving it a luster like the sea.

The soul has been found.

That's good.

"Little Pearl".

His voice paused, as if he was hesitating whether or not to ask.

"Is someone by your side?"

Fu Mian remained silent for a moment.

Xingyu's fingers tightened slightly as she held the jade talisman.

He lowered his eyes, and the face of that person involuntarily appeared in his mind—Tang Xiye.

The young emperor of the Beichen Empire, a possessive and madman.

Xingyu's impression of Tangxi Night is complicated.

On the one hand, he acknowledged that the man was a rare and wise ruler, first-rate in both literary and military arts, and genuinely cared for his sister.

On the other hand, he always felt that the guy was unrestrained.

If he were to stay with his sister, he would probably cling to her every night, and I wonder if her delicate little body could handle it.

As he was thinking, the talisman lit up.

"Yes, don't worry, brother."

Tang Xixue responded that there was now a little white flower beside her.

And the trusted confidants of the Hall of Eternal Life.

The triplets followed her, secretly protecting her.

"With someone keeping his sister company, the older brother feels more at ease."

Upon hearing this, Xingyu tacitly acknowledged that Tang Xiye was by her side. After all, that guy was now practically glued to his sister and it was impossible for him to be separated from her!

He took a deep breath and swallowed back all the words that were about to come out.

He can't say too much, or his sister will find him nagging.

He shouldn't ask too many questions, or his sister would think he was being too nosy.

He's the older brother; he needs to be magnanimous, composed, and considerate...

He pursed his lips and finally managed to squeeze out only one sentence.

"Hmm... then, little pearl, please... take care of your health."

As soon as the words left his mouth, he regretted them.

This sentence sounds strange no matter how you look at it; it seems to be hinting at something, or perhaps expressing concern about something.

What's said is said, and there's no going back.

"Brother, please take care of yourself too."

Tang Xixue said politely.

She probably felt that since her brother cared about her, she should reciprocate.

Gifts are exchanged in return, and the siblings share a deep bond.

Xingyu, clutching the communication jade talisman, froze by the window.

What is he paying attention to?

He was a widowed king, with a pure heart and few desires, living alone in an empty room, without even anyone to talk to. What was there for him to pay attention to?

Could he possibly indulge in excessive sexual activity?

Moreover, he is in excellent health!

Those who practice martial arts are physically strong and have abundant internal energy.

His health is excellent, excessively so!

"Okay, thank you, little pearl. I'll be careful."

"Father has chosen an auspicious day for Little Pearl's coronation ceremony—your birthday, the third day of the third month. Remember to come back before then."

The third day of the third lunar month is the Shangsi Festival.

Spring waters are just beginning to rise, and spring forests are just beginning to flourish.

That was her birthday.

This is an auspicious day.

"Okay, I've got it."

Tang Xixue said.

Xingyu could tell that she should take it seriously.

He lowered his eyes and gently placed the communication jade talisman on the windowsill.

The moonlight spread a silvery path across the sea, stretching all the way to the horizon.

The waves crashed against the rocks, their roar like an ancient ballad that never ceases.

March 3rd.

He silently made a note of it.

There's still time; there's still room to prepare.

The ceremonial robes, crown, and regalia for the coronation ceremony must be the best.

The Empress of the Weaving Moon Sea Kingdom must not have any less prestige.

Tangxi Xue put away the communication talisman.

She was thinking about her next plan, which required finding this wisp of soul from Forgotten Snow City.

After that, she still needs to go to Xingze to get the Soul-Stabilizing Pearl, the prize for the Medicine God Trial Tournament.

At the same time, the Crimson Dust Gu is the most important.

She mentally ranked these things, like placing pieces on a chessboard.

"Your Highness, you've had a long day, you should rest."

Li Shuang said with heartache, "His Highness is not in good health, yet he has been working tirelessly."

"No need, I can't sleep. None of you need to come with me, I'm going out for a bit."

Tang Xixue gave Mu Liang and the others some instructions.

Just as she was about to leave, Mu Liang suddenly spoke.

"Your Highness, this...this is a gift from your subordinates and brothers. Please accept it."

He took out a communication talisman that wasn't very well made; the spirit patterns on the edges were roughly carved, and the jade on the talisman wasn't of the highest quality.

But it was polished very smooth, obviously having been repeatedly rubbed and wiped before being presented to its owner.

This was a communication talisman that the three brothers scraped together, almost spending all of their savings.

They didn't want to lose contact with her.

Even if I can't be with her all the time, I hope to know that she is well.

"Ah Liang, this must be very expensive, right?"

Tang Xixue was stunned when she received the communication talisman. Communication talismans were not common items, and each one was very expensive.

Although this one wasn't as luxurious and exquisite as the others, Mu Liang and Chao Han didn't have much money. Even with Yue Zhongtian's accumulated salary over the years, they could barely afford this pair.

"Your Highness, it's not very good, but it works. Please don't find it unpleasant."

Mu Liang said somewhat hesitantly, "What others give to His Highness is all so good."

But all the three of them could offer His Highness was their utmost loyalty and protection.

"This is a gift from A-Liang, how could I possibly dislike it? Thank you, A-Liang!"

Tang Xixue was touched. She knew that they must have been frightened by the news of her death last time, which was why they had specially prepared a communication talisman.

"The gift is very nice. I will use it to contact A-Liang in the future."

Mu Liang's eyes reddened slightly, and she nodded vigorously.

He didn't speak.

But the moonlight fell into his eyes, reflecting a bright, sparkling light.

Hearing her gentle words, Mu Liang's anxious heart was instantly soothed.

His Highness is always so good.

"Then I'm leaving."

Tang Xixue looked at the row of communication talismans and gently stroked the Heart of Cangxue with her fingers. She put all the communication talismans into the Heart of Cangxue.

As a sacred object of the Weaving Moon Sea Kingdom, the Heart of Azure Snow not only possesses the miraculous power to bring the dead back to life, but it is also a storage magic treasure containing a space within it.

She had never used this space before, but now that she had so many things on her, she still put them all into the space.

She also put her first-aid kit and other personal items inside.

This time, Mu Liang and the others brought her a lot of luggage, but she simply packed it all away so that they could move around more easily.

Tang Xixue rode the silver dragon of wind and snow, flying into the night towards the Weaving Moon Pavilion outside the city.

This time, she didn't tell Mu Liang and the others, because if they knew she was going to Zhiyue Pavilion outside the city, they would definitely be worried and unable to sleep all night.

After all, the last time, she had an accident on her way to the Moon Weaving Pavilion, and it was also at night.

But this time, she successfully arrived at the Moon Weaving Pavilion.

The silver dragon landed silently in the valley.

The moonlight bathed the entire valley in a gentle silvery white, with the babbling brook and the chirping of insects.

The lanterns in front of Zhiyue Courtyard were still lit, but there was no sound coming from inside.

The silence here is heartbreaking.

Tangxi Xue stretched out her hand.

Fingertips touched the door.

"Squeak—"

She gently pushed open the door to the Moon-Weaving Pavilion.
