Shortly after, the woman brought Nangong Jingyin to eight similar colored flower buds. After the last flower bud turned, the entire flower bud flew out from the flowers and brought Nangong Jingyin and the woman into the flower bushes.
The bushes were torn apart like clouds, and Nangong Jingyin's eyes lit up. She was already on the stairs of a palace.
"Empress …" The woman landed on the stairs and immediately bowed. "Nangong Family's young master Nangong Jingyin requests an audience …"
"Announce …" A clear voice sounded from within the palace, and a grassy lawn appeared from the clouds and extended to Nangong Jingyin's feet.
"Servant Nangong Jingyin greets Empress …" Nangong Jingyin stepped onto the lawn and bowed.
As she spoke, the lawn returned to the palace, and the clouds dissipated. Nangong Jingyin's eyes blurred, and she was standing in a palace filled with flowers.
There was also a golden chair at the top of this palace, and a woman who was three thousand meters tall sat on it.
She had a dignified appearance and had a kind smile on her face.
There were countless auspicious signs on her palace dress.
On the left side of the golden throne, countless inscriptions formed the shape of a phoenix. They danced proudly, and wisps of luck that were as thin as strands of cloud surged out of the void as the phoenix flapped its wings. They either entered the woman's palace dress or the golden throne, and faint rumbling sounds could be heard.
This woman was none other than the East Sea Empress, the mother of the world!
Seeing Nangong Jingyin bow, the East Ocean Empress raised her hand. "Servant Nangong, you may rise!"
"Thank you, Empress!" Nangong Jingyin still didn't dare to raise her head. She only looked at the auspicious clouds below her.
The East Ocean Empress was very satisfied with Nangong Jingyin's respectful attitude and asked, "I heard that the calamities on the Hidden Immortal Continent are endless. Not only are the commoners homeless, but many scholarly families are also declining. I wonder how the situation is now?"
Nangong Jingyin replied, "Empress, you care for the world, and I truly admire you.
Ten days ago, this humble subject received a message from the clan and mentioned the recent disaster.
Please be at ease, Celestial Empress. This humble subject does not know about other places, but within the capabilities of my Nangong Aristocratic Family, not a single person of the secular world has left their home, much less become homeless.
Not only did my Nangong Family use all of our resources to help the people who were affected by the disaster, we even traveled thousands of miles to purchase good seeds that could resist the disaster. We distributed them to the people of the world for free so that they could fill their stomachs and cultivate them. "
"Ai, if all the clans were like the Nangong Clan … then why would the Immortal Emperor have to work so hard every day?" The East Sea Empress sighed. "It's really been hard on the Nangong Clan."
"I don't dare, this is what I should do as a subject!" Nangong Jingyin replied neither haughtily nor humbly.
"Crown Prince, what brings you to my Hall of Fragrance today?"
The East Sea Empress smiled and said, "Your Nangong Family has done a lot for the Hidden Immortal Continent. If I can participate in politics, I will definitely ask the Immortal Emperor to reward your Nangong Family!"
Nangong Jingyin smiled and said, "This humble subject has not come to the Hall of Fragrance for a long time, and I miss Celestial Empress very much.
Furthermore, this humble subject's mother has also sent a message, and she specially instructed this humble subject to come over. She said that she has something to tell Celestial Empress! "
"Oh?
What matter does Xing 'er have to be so mysterious? "
The East Sea Empress smiled and said, "This humble subject has known your mother since young. After this humble subject married into the Sun Family, she married into the Nangong Family.
However, every year during this humble subject's birthday banquet, she would send her regards over. How long has it been?
If there is something … why didn't she say it that day? "
"This …" Nangong Jingyin said embarrassedly, "Mother said clearly in the message that this humble subject is not allowed to take a look, so this humble subject does not know!"
"Hehe, take it out!" The East Sea Empress smiled and said.
"Yes!"
Nangong Jingyin nodded and carefully took out a palm-sized pink jade pendant and respectfully presented it.
At this moment, a female official walked out from the nearby clouds. This female official took the jade pendant and looked at it. She then opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of qi, which entered the jade pendant.
"Rumble …" With a soft sound, four-colored qi surged out from the jade pendant and transformed into a several chi long sub-body.
This sub-body was an absolute beauty, and she was also wearing palace attire. She looked around and bowed towards the East Sea Empress, "This subject, Sun Yaoxing, greets Celestial Empress!
This subject has come to greet Celestial Empress as a Yuan Spirit Child. This subject seeks Celestial Empress' understanding! "
"Hehe, it's fine!"
The East Sea Empress waved her hand and smiled, "This is the Fragrance Spreading Palace. Other than your family's Boy, there are no other subjects here. There is no need to be so courteous!
Furthermore, this humble subject also knows that if you were to make a trip to the Immortal Palace, you would have to submit a letter of approval first. Your Nangong Family also has to go through many formalities, and this humble subject is truly inconvenient. For you to come and see this humble subject as a Yuan Spirit Child, this humble subject is already very happy. "
"Thank you, Celestial Empress!"
Nangong Jingyin's mother did not lose her respect because of the Celestial Empress's words. She still carefully replied, "How is Celestial Empress recently?"
"Sigh, not really!"
The East Sea Empress sighed, "I believe you also know that this matter … this humble subject does not feel good in my heart!"
"Hehe, that's right!"
Nangong Jingyin's mother smiled and said, "Which mother would be unhappy if this matter happened to her!
If Yin 'er was imprisoned in the Heaven Punishment Prison Crystal, this subject will also think of a way to save him! "
"You will think of a way!
But this humble subject cannot! "
The East Sea Empress shook her head and said, "This humble subject is the mother of the world and must be a role model. This matter cannot make things difficult for the Immortal Emperor!"
Speaking of this, the East Sea Empress was a little bewildered. She looked at the slightly dimmed sub-body of Nangong Jingyin's mother and asked, "Xing 'er, do you have any important matters?
If this humble subject is able to do it, this humble subject will definitely help … "
"Big sister …" Nangong Jingyin's mother revealed a mysterious expression again. She even changed the way she addressed the East Sea Empress. She said softly, "This little sister didn't leave much Yuan Spirit in the jade pendant. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for long.
Then, this little sister will make a long story short. "
"En, go ahead!" The East Sea Empress nodded.
"Actually, this little sister didn't come today for my own matters!"
Nangong Jingyin's mother said, "This little sister heard about the Ninth Princess' matter and knows that you are feeling terrible, so this little sister wants to help you."
"Oh?
What does little sister mean? "The East Sea Empress was dazed and was even more confused.
"Big sister, what do you think of Yin 'er?" Nangong Jingyin's mother changed the topic and asked.
The East Sea Empress glanced at the respectful Nangong Jingyin and replied, "Yin 'er is a good child. Didn't the Immortal Emperor give him his courtesy name when he was 75 years old?
Furthermore, during these years in the Immortal Palace, he has followed the rules and is the most outstanding among the princes of the four great families!
Little sister, you are really lucky! "
"Big sister, if our Nangong Family and the Sun Family are connected by marriage …" Nangong Jingyin's mother smiled and said, "Do you think the Immortal Emperor will spare the Ninth Princess?
Will he let her out to marry Yin 'er? "
"Oh??"
The East Sea Empress was shocked. Her eyes flashed with a complicated expression as her gaze landed on Nangong Jingyin. At this moment, Nangong Jingyin was also shocked and had a trace of shyness on her face. She didn't know where to put her hands and feet.
After a while, the East Sea Empress asked, "Little sister, is this your idea or Nangong's?"
"Big sister is thinking too much!"
Nangong Jingyin's mother smiled and said, "Nangong doesn't know about this at all. I didn't even tell Yin 'er. I just want to hear your opinion. If you think it's suitable, I will discuss it with Nangong!"
"Yin 'er doesn't have anything to be picky about …" The East Sea Empress said softly, "The Nangong Family is also one of the four great families. If Nangong comes to propose marriage, the Immortal Emperor will definitely give face.
Of course … "
At this point, the East Sea Empress didn't say anything else. In fact, she also understood that the four great families wanted to make the Immortal Emperor a mere figurehead. The Immortal Emperor had always wanted to find a breakthrough point between the four great families and the Immortal Palace. However, the four great families were like one, and the Immortal Emperor had no chance at all.
At this moment, Nangong Jingyin's mother proposed marriage. It sounded like her own idea, but the East Sea Empress didn't believe that Nangong Jingyin's mother didn't discuss it with the Nangong Family's family head, Nangong Tianjiao.
As for the Nangong Family's intention, the East Sea Empress could faintly guess. From the family head's name, Nangong Tianjiao, one could see that Nangong Tianjiao was a prideful person. At this moment, the Nangong Family was not only suppressed by the Dongfang and Ximen Families, but even the Darknorth Family, which had always been ranked last, had the strength to compete with the Nangong Family. Therefore, if the Nangong Family wanted to become the head of the four great families, Nangong Tianjiao had to find an external power. The Immortal Palace's Military School was his best choice.
Of course, when the Nangong Family proposed marriage, it was unavoidable that they would hit the East Sea Empress when they were down. However, this was also a sore point for the East Sea Empress, so she had to consider it.
On the day of the East Sea Empress' birthday banquet, the Immortal Emperor invited the Thunder Temple's Vairocana World Sovereign and the Great Sage Hall's Golden-Winged Great Peng Great Sage to discuss the Sutra Seeking Extreme Bliss. He also invited them to watch the Immortal Palace's Heaven's Choice Gathering.
The so-called Heaven's Choice Gathering was the battle to choose the Heaven's Heart!
Because in the previous Heaven's Choice Gathering, the Ninth Princess Xinxin won, and the Immortal Palace's half Heaven's Heart was given to her to comprehend.
However, in order to save Xiao Hua at the bottom of the Saint River, Princess Xinxin took out half of the Heaven's Heart. That half of the Heaven's Heart fell into Xiao Hua's Dantian and couldn't be taken out again. Therefore, in the Heaven's Choice Gathering, Princess Xinxin couldn't take out the only half of the Heaven's Heart.
This caused the Immortal Emperor to lose all his face, and he was furious. Ignoring the East Sea Queen's pleas, he ordered the three provinces to bring the new princess to the Hidden Immortal Continent and punish her severely. He also sent more people to find Tian Xin's whereabouts.
