Chapter 1980
Not a Noble Consort 1
After returning to the Central Plains, Xia Qingqing remained arrogant and willful, and would take action against anyone she disliked.
Over the years, she has met many masters while following Yuan Chengzhi, and her martial arts skills have improved considerably under his guidance.
She's already considered a top-tier expert.
Moreover, most of the martial arts figures in the Central Plains had gone to sea with Yuan Chengzhi, leaving very few masters behind.
When the tiger is away, the monkey reigns supreme.
Xia Qingqing had a very smooth start, and all the people who came looking for revenge were driven away by her.
She was ruthless, which led to her making more and more enemies.
Later, these people joined forces and confronted Xia Qingqing together.
Two fists can't beat four hands. Although Xia Qingqing escaped with her life, one of her arms was cut off, leaving her with only one arm, just like Ajiu.
She was rescued by a nunnery when she was injured and unconscious.
After waking up, Xia Qingqing couldn't accept that she had become disabled and was very depressed for a time.
The nuns in the temple used Buddhist principles to enlighten Xia Qingqing.
Xia Qingqing began to read Buddhist scriptures, and her mind began to become more peaceful.
Not long after, Xia Qingqing became a nun, taking the Dharma name: Master Jiunan! (#^.^#)
……
Liu Dong gained a great deal of merit when she left this world.
Liu Dong had just left this small world when she received an invitation from the neighboring small world.
The Heavenly Dao of this small world: Great God, save the poor Heavenly Dao! I don't want to dissipate, ahhh...
Liu Dong infused a trace of rule power into the Little Heavenly Path to ensure that it would not dissipate in the short term and enter this world.
……
Liu Dong held a ruler and supervised her younger brother as he squatted in a horse stance.
His younger brother was the least intelligent of the siblings, but he was not a slow learner. He couldn't sit still while studying, and he found martial arts training too hard. All he did all day was play around.
Their father, Liu Huai, was busy with court affairs and had no time to take care of his children.
To prevent a spoiled brat from emerging in the family, Liu Dong took on the responsibility of disciplining her younger brother.
The Liu family is a happy family.
Liu Huai and his wife were childhood sweethearts, devoted to each other for life, and together they had four children.
The eldest child, Liu Qingya, is seventeen years old. As the couple's first child, she is very spoiled and has become somewhat arrogant, but she is very kind to her younger siblings.
The second child, Liu Qingyu, and the third child, Liu Dong, are twins, a boy and a girl, and are fifteen years old this year. (The last sentence appears to be unrelated and possibly a fragment: "Watching the moon over the flowing river.")
Liu Qingyu has a gentle personality, but she is strong-willed despite her gentle appearance. She may seem weak on the surface, but she is actually very opinionated.
Needless to say, the fourth brother, Liu Heng, is still being punished by Liu Dong.
Madam Liu suffered a difficult childbirth when she gave birth to Liu Heng, and her health deteriorated significantly.
When Liu Heng was five years old, Madam Liu passed away.
Liu Huai did not remarry and lived with his four children.
Liu Dong did not regain her memories, but she discovered the cultivation method of Changzhen Gong in her mind when she was a child.
His two older sisters discovered him while he was practicing martial arts, and they also wanted to learn martial arts.
Liu Tong then taught the Mingyu Gong technique from his mind to Liu Qingya and Liu Qingyu.
The two girls' interest in martial arts was merely a passing fancy; after all, they were young ladies from wealthy families, not women of the martial arts world, so there was no point in them practicing such advanced skills.
Therefore, practicing martial arts is a sporadic activity, like fishing for three days and drying nets for two.
However, since Mingyu Gong is one of the most exquisite martial arts techniques in wuxia novels, even without diligent practice, the two girls' strength is not low.
After learning that the Jade could keep them young, the two immediately began to practice diligently.
No woman can resist the allure of eternal youth. "That's enough," Liu Tong said.
Liu Heng collapsed to the ground.
Liu Tong let him rest for half an hour before starting the next training session: archery.
With tears welling up in her eyes, Liu Heng pleaded, "Brother, dear brother, can you please not draw the bow?"
Every time I draw the bow, my arms become very sore.
Liu Tong: "Sure! Go to the study and practice your calligraphy. Copy the Great Learning three times."
Liu Heng: "..."
Liu Heng: "I'd rather practice archery."
Liu Qingyu came over carrying a food box and said gently with a smile, "Third brother, are you tired? Have some pastries, I made them myself."
Liu Qingyu is a true virtuous wife and loving mother. Although she is not yet married and is young, she has taken on the heavy responsibility of taking care of her family.
Every year, Liu Qingyu would make a set of clothes for her father, sister, and brother by hand, and she would also often cook pastries for her family.
Seeing that Liu Qingyu often enjoyed cooking, he wrote down some memories of pastries in his mind and gave them to Liu Qingyu.
Based on Liu Dong's memories, Liu Qingyu created a cream cake and also made ice cream.
Liu Huai gave Liu Qingyu a shop, which Liu Qingyu used specifically to sell the pastries she had developed.
The pastries are very popular and the business is booming.
As a result, Liu Qingyu accumulated a considerable amount of money.
Liu Huai showed no favoritism and also gave Liu Qingya a shop.
Liu Qingya loves beauty and has great design talent.
Liu Tong then suggested that Liu Qingya open a clothing store to sell clothes designed by Liu Qingya.
Business was booming, and every time they designed and sold clothes, they were sought after by the noble ladies of the capital.
The two girls saved up a considerable dowry by running the shop.
Liu Heng cried out aggrievedly, "Second sister, I'm the one who's working hard. Third brother is just watching, how is he tired?"
Liu Qingyu: "Disciplining your third brother is exhausting, both mentally and physically!"
Liu Heng: "Second sister, you're being unfair!"
Liu Tong: "Stop complaining, come and eat something."
Liu Heng immediately dropped his bow and arrows and ran over happily, grabbing a piece of cake and stuffing it into his mouth.
"Delicious! Second Sister's cooking is the best!" Liu Heng mumbled.
Liu Qingyu quickly poured him a cup of fruit tea to prevent him from choking.
"Isn't my older sister home?" Liu Dong asked.
Liu Qingyu: "My aunt has summoned my eldest sister to the palace."
Liu Tong frowned: "I'm afraid my aunt's plan won't work. My cousin the emperor doesn't like my eldest sister at all. Most importantly, my cousin the emperor is wary of my father's power and doesn't want our Liu family to have two generations of empresses."
Liu Qingyu sighed: "You can see it all clearly, but your father couldn't."
Liu Tong: "Father is blinded by power, and the Empress Dowager often makes empty promises to him, making him unable to see the true nature of his good nephew. Our cousin is a born emperor. He will absolutely not allow the maternal relatives to become too powerful. Look at how he brought up Duanmu Zhuo to challenge Father, isn't that just to suppress Father's influence in the court?"
Liu Qingyu: "I just don't know what my eldest sister means."
Liu Tong: "Let's ask her when my eldest sister returns to the manor."
Liu Heng looked at his second sister and then at his third brother. He didn't understand what they were saying!
Liu Tong patted his head: "If you don't understand, then you don't understand. Your second sister and I will protect you." (End of Chapter)
