Chapter 353 The Queen's Arrival 4
Xuanyuan Yu's eyes sparkled with excitement. He stared closely at his master's every move, afraid to miss any details.
"Now, it's your turn." Ying Gaoren handed the wooden sword to Xuanyuan Yu.
Xuanyuan Yu took a deep breath, feeling the weight and temperature of the wooden sword in his hand, and an unprecedented determination and courage surged in his heart.
He imitated Shadow Master, slowly raised the wooden sword, and began to try to swing it.
At first, his movements seemed clumsy and awkward, but slowly, Xuanyuan Yu's movements became smoother.
He seemed to have truly become one with the wooden sword in his hand, and every time he swung the sword, it was filled with power.
Nan Xi nodded. Xuanyuan Yu did have some good physique, and she also gave him some elixirs such as the Marrow Cleansing Pill, the Intelligence Enlightenment Pill, and the Essence Nourishing Pill to nourish his body.
It would be a surprise if Xuanyuan Yu still knew nothing.
In addition to teaching Xuanyuan Yu martial arts, Nan Xi also asked Xuan Lin to disguise himself as a black jade pendant and gave it to Xuanyuan Yu for self-defense to ensure his safety.

Apart from paying respects to the Queen, Cheng Yurou spends her days either admiring flowers or feeding fish. Occasionally, the system issues some small tasks, and her life is very comfortable.
But this tranquility did not last long as it was broken by the undercurrent within the palace walls.
In the harem, news always spreads faster than the wind.
Ever since Concubine Rong accidentally revealed the emperor's special care for Cheng Yurou, the news spread quickly to every corner like vines growing wildly in spring.
The palace maids and eunuchs talked about it privately, feeling both envious and jealous of Cheng Yurou. After all, in this magnificent palace, to be favored by the emperor was an honor that many people dreamed of but could hardly achieve.
However, they didn't know that this honor also brought Cheng Yurou some unnecessary troubles.
The one who gave her the most headache was Concubine Rong, who always regarded herself as arrogant.
Concubine Rong was born into a prominent family and had been accustomed to being looked up to since childhood. Naturally, she saw the sudden rise of Cheng Yurou and was anxious for her.
From time to time, Concubine Rong would find fault with Cheng Yurou for various reasons, either by making sarcastic remarks or deliberately making things difficult for her, forcing Cheng Yurou to be on guard at all times.
She originally wanted the emperor to directly confer the title of concubine on her so that she would no longer be oppressed by her status, but unfortunately the emperor did not agree.
"Rou'er, your position has been promoted very quickly. If you are promoted again, I am afraid you will be criticized by the court officials. After all, you..."
Cheng Yurou knew what the emperor had not said. The original owner was just a bought little palace maid with an ordinary life and no background.
"Yes, I will obey the emperor."
Xuanyuan Che was very satisfied with Cheng Yurou's gentleness. This was what he liked most about Cheng Yurou: she was gentle and considerate, kind and innocent, and she always admired him and was devoted to him.
"Rou'er, today is the fifteenth day, I won't come over."
Cheng Yurou was a little angry in her heart, but she still looked gentle on the surface.
"Your Majesty, you have to take the most important things seriously. Don't forget that Rou'er will always be here waiting for you."
"Rou'er is so considerate. I was right about you. Don't worry. I'm just going to see Yu'er."
Xuanyuan Che hugged Cheng Yurou excitedly and kissed her. He almost didn't want to go to Fengyi Palace anymore.
Thinking of what the court officials said today, Xuanyuan Che suppressed his surging emotions and walked towards Fengyi Palace.
As soon as he entered the palace, he heard laughter and joyful chatter inside. Xuanyuan Che was a little dazed. When had the Queen's palace ever been so lively?
"The Emperor has arrived!"
The palace maids knelt on the ground. Nan Xi and Xuanyuan Yu bowed casually and stood up.
Xuanyuan Che didn't care. He was in a good mood today and didn't care about so many things.
"Yu'er, I heard from the Grand Tutor that you have made great progress in your studies recently. I am very pleased."
Xuanyuan Yu smiled, "Father, it's all because of my mother's good teaching that I can make such progress."
"Oh~"
Xuanyuan Che looked at Nan Xi, "Queen, Yu'er is getting older, you should not call him here so often, so as not to affect his temperament."
Nan Xi rolled her eyes secretly. This dog emperor was really an eyesore. She thought about the possibilities other than him.
After a moment, Nan Xi shook her head. Being an emperor was exhausting and Xuanyuan Yu was too young, so she should just tolerate him for a few more years.
"Your Majesty, I have been feeling unwell lately. Lady Rou is a good cook, so I think..."
"Ahem...it would be good if Yu'er came to visit the Queen more often. This child is really filial."
Xuanyuan Che immediately changed his words. How could he forget that it was quite easy for the queen to deal with the concubines in the harem.
Nan Xi nodded, "Yu'er is indeed filial."
Xuanyuan Che felt a little embarrassed. He felt that these women were increasingly boring recently. Only his Rouer was so knowledgeable and sensible.
Xuanyuan Che finally remembered that he had something else to say today. He asked someone to send Xuanyuan Yu away and waved away the palace maids before he spoke.
"Queen, my nineteenth brother is coming back. I'll leave the celebration banquet to you. Please take care of it."
"Nineteenth brother?"
Nan Xi thought about it and finally remembered that this was Xuanyuan Cheng, the god of war of the Great Yan Kingdom. He went to the battlefield at the age of sixteen and was now twenty-three years old and had not yet married.
"A great victory at the border, my Nineteenth Brother has made great contributions this time, I'm afraid the fiefdom cannot be left too desolate."
Xuanyuan Che said as he looked at Nan Xi.
Xuanyuan Che wanted the Prime Minister to give him advice. Nan Xi sneered in her heart. He put on a smile when he could use his advice, but exiled the whole family when he couldn't. He really used the art of being an emperor to perfection.
"Okay, I understand."
Hearing Nan Xi's agreement, Xuanyuan Che showed a grateful smile. That smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, instantly illuminating the entire bedroom.
Xuanyuan Che felt that Nan Xi was very pleasing to the eye today, and even his eyes were a little gentler.
"Queen, it's getting late. Let's get settled early."
There was a barely perceptible tenderness and expectation in Xuanyuan Che's voice. As he spoke, he slowly walked towards the bed, his eyes seeming to be filled with deep affection for Nan Xi.
Nan Xi raised her hand slightly and snapped her fingers, and Xuanyuan Che fainted.
Nan Xi threw him onto the couch and slept on the bed herself.
After hearing that Xuanyuan Che stayed overnight in Fengyi Palace, Cheng Yurou was furious.
"This dog emperor actually betrayed me. I said I was just going to take a look, but he actually stayed overnight. This is really too much."
Cheng Yurou was so angry that she crumpled her handkerchief into pieces.
[Ding! Host, you have to work harder. If your favorability value is not 98, your favor is not guaranteed.]
Cheng Yurou frowned irritably, "I know, but Xuanyuan Che's heart is divided among too many people. It's impossible for him to love me alone."
【Ding! Then clear the obstacles. 】
Cheng Yurou was a little hesitant. She grew up under the red flag and was only capable of playing pranks. She was a little afraid of killing people.
[Ding! Host, this harem is a place where people are eaten. If you fail, think about your former appearance. Everything you have now will be gone.]
Cheng Yurou shuddered involuntarily when she thought of the face she saw when she traveled through time.
She doesn't want to become ordinary again!
