Chapter 40: His Majesty's bedroom is a bit stuffy
But that day she specifically asked Cheng Yaojin and only then did she find out that Jiang Mingche was only twenty-one years old this year.
Twenty-one is the most passionate age.
It is rare for Jiang Mingche to achieve such amazing results at this age without being humble or overbearing, arrogant or impatient.
"I can represent the Tang Dynasty in the Guixu Mengyan competition, but I have a condition." Jiang Mingche said thoughtfully.
He will definitely go to Jixia Academy sooner or later, so it is not impossible for him to participate in the Guixu Dream Performance on behalf of the Tang Dynasty now.
Anyway, for him, the first place in Guixumeng's performance was within his grasp, and he had already left his peers far behind.
No matter who he faced, he would be able to defeat them with one sword. Jiang Mingche would participate, but he didn't want to bring along a few teammates who were a burden.
"Qing Aiqing, if you have anything to say, just say it directly..."
Wu Zetian glanced at Jiang Mingche and said, the more she looked at Jiang Mingche, the more satisfied she felt. Young and promising is the epitome of this regent.
"I want to attend the Guixu Dream Performance at Jixia Academy alone. I am used to being free and undisciplined, and I don't like to form a team with others."
Jiang Mingche put forward his own request, and said this entirely to deal with Wu Zetian.
If he were asked to take a group of beautiful girls to participate in the Guixu Dream Performance, Jiang Mingche would naturally be more than happy to do so, but Jiang Mingche did not want to travel across mountains and rivers with a group of rough guys to participate in the competition.
"That's fine. You can win the championship even if you participate alone." After thinking for a while, Wu Zetian agreed directly.
It doesn’t matter whether other people are brought along or not, as long as Jiang Mingche agrees to participate in the competition. Anyway, the first place in Gui Xumeng’s performance will definitely go to Jiang Mingche.
Even if there were many geniuses in Jixia Academy, Wu Zetian didn't think there was anyone in the world more evil than Jiang Mingche.
Because Wu Zetian discovered that only a week had passed since the last canonization, and Jiang Mingche's cultivation had broken through again...
Wu Zetian's heart was already somewhat numb. According to Jiang Mingche's cultivation speed, he could definitely surpass her within a year...
"When will the Guixu Dream Performance begin?" Jiang Mingche asked curiously.
"The Return to the Void Dream will officially begin in a month, so just find a time to go."
"One month?" Jiang Mingche thought to himself. Since there was still a month left, he was not in a hurry.
After his cultivation level broke through to diamond, with the blessing of the Wind God bloodline, Jiang Mingche could fly a million miles a day on his sword.
Although Jixia is extremely far away from the Tang Dynasty, he can get there directly within two days.
It's a good opportunity for me to spend more time with my beautiful ladies at home during this period of time.
After all, he had just returned from the Great Wall. If he left rashly, it would definitely cause resentment from the Bunny-Eared Girl.
"In that case, I'll find a time to set off."
"I still have some chores to take care of, so I'll leave first..."
After agreeing to Wu Zetian's request, Jiang Mingche turned around and left.
He didn't dare to stay in Wu Zetian's palace any longer, otherwise he was really afraid that he would lose control...
Alas...Looking at Jiang Mingche's departing back, Wu Zetian sighed leisurely.
She took off her dragon robe again, revealing her skin covered by the veil. It was a pity that Wu Zetian could only admire such a beautiful scene by herself.
The lonely empty courtyard is about to end in spring, and the pear blossoms are all over the ground but the door is not open. Although she is a majestic empress, who can understand her pain when she wakes up in the middle of the night and tosses and turns?
Wu Zetian didn't feel it in the past few years, but as she was about to turn thirty, she would always have all kinds of wild thoughts whenever she was alone.
Although there has never been love between men and women, it is a physiological instinct of human beings.
Every time she felt itchy, Wu Zetian could only divert her attention through practice and suppress her inner restlessness...
Sometimes she really envied those ordinary women, and often wondered, if she were not the empress of the Tang Dynasty, she should also be taking care of her husband and children at her age, right?
After coming out of the empress's bedroom, Jiang Mingche took a few deep breaths of fresh air, which helped him suppress his inner unrest.
"Prince, what's wrong with you?" Shangguan Wan'er asked with a strange expression on her face as she looked at Jiang Mingche who was gasping for breath as soon as he came out.
My goodness, how come he started breathing heavily after going to the empress's bedroom?
"It's okay...it's just that your Majesty's bedroom feels a little stuffy..." Jiang Mingche said with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face.
"So that's how it is..." Shangguan Wan'er nodded in sudden realization. Having never been to the empress's bedroom, she believed it to be true.
Although she was the closest maid to Wu Zetian, no one except Jiang Mingche had ever set foot in the empress's bedroom.
"Let me see the prince off..." Shangguan Wan'er spoke quickly when she saw Jiang Mingche was about to leave.
She didn't know why, but she always wanted to stay with Jiang Mingche for a while longer.
It might be because Jiang Mingche left an indelible shadow in his heart after he rescued him last time, or it might be because of what Wu Zetian said to him last time.
"If you are willing, I will make the decision for you and Jiang Mingche to get married..."
With all sorts of random thoughts in her mind, Shangguan Wan'er would steal a glance at Jiang Mingche from time to time, her face flushed.
It was the age when a girl was in love, and Jiang Mingche was handsome, gentle and elegant, so Shangguan Wan'er sometimes had some wild thoughts about him.
Sometimes I even dream about Jiang Mingche in erotic dreams... It always makes me toss and turn in the middle of the night and unable to fall asleep.
"Ms. Wan'er, have you made a breakthrough in your cultivation?" Jiang Mingche asked Shangguan Wan'er with some curiosity as he walked towards the gate of Daming Palace.
"I have made a breakthrough. With the Water Spirit Flower given by the prince last time, Wan'er has now reached the level of Gold 2."
"Speaking of this, I have to thank Your Highness. Otherwise, Wan'er would not have been able to break through so easily." Shangguan Wan'er said with gratitude.
If Jiang Mingche hadn't given her enough Water Spirit Flowers last time, she really wouldn't have been able to break through in such a short time.
After all, as Wu Zetian's personal maid, she had a lot of work to do every day and could not practice at any time.
"It's too formal to say these things. After all, we are good friends, right?" Jiang Mingche shook his head and said with a faint smile.
When he gave Shangguan Wan'er the Water Spirit Flower, it was also to make her remember his kindness and speak well of him in front of Wu Zetian in the future.
But now it seems...it's unnecessary...He is the regent now and doesn't need to deliberately curry favor with Wu Zetian.
In terms of status, except that he cannot sit on the dragon throne in the Golden Palace, he is almost the same as Wu Zetian in other aspects.
The regent was in charge of the government affairs, and could review memorials, implement new laws, and even grant amnesty. He could do everything that Wu Zetian could do. But Jiang Mingche had no interest in that.
