Chapter 165: Whether a woman is beautiful or not can be determined by looking at her feet
"How is it, Your Majesty, do you feel better now?"
"Has the feeling of depression in your heart completely faded away?"
Jiang Mingche took a long breath and asked with a faint smile.
Wu Zetian's perfect pair of jade feet are simply amazing.
"I do feel that the annoyance in my heart has faded a lot..."
“Is this treatment really effective?”
Wu Zetian nodded in confusion, with a strange look on her face.
After doing as Jiang Mingche said, Wu Zetian really felt that all the depression in her heart was swept away, and even her mood became much better. This traitor really did not deceive her.
But.....
What is the rationale for this?
Wu Zetian is still a little confused and doesn't understand what the relationship is between these two things.
"Of course it worked, otherwise Your Majesty wouldn't feel this way, right?"
Jiang Mingche said this seriously, and his mood was very good.
He took out a pill directly from the system space and handed it to Wu Zetian.
"Is this the elixir you mentioned before that can help me restore my strength?"
Looking at the longan-sized, golden, and fragrant pill in her hand, Wu Zetian asked with a complicated expression.
I didn't expect that after persisting for so long, I finally gave in after being fooled by Jiang Mingche...
Fortunately, Jiang Mingche was honest and trustworthy. He fulfilled his promise and gave him the pill directly.
"Yes, this is the elixir that I told Your Majesty about before that can restore your strength."
"This is called Tianxiang Pill, a sixth-grade pill."
"As long as you take this pill, I can help Your Majesty recover to the peak strength of Star Glory."
Jiang Mingche nodded and introduced the origin and uses of the elixir to Wu Zetian.
Jiang Mingche had already refined the Tianxiang Pill and was waiting for Wu Zetian to fulfill her promise before giving it to her.
"Thanks....."
Wu Zetian thanked him quietly and directly accepted the pill that Jiang Mingche gave her.
She was also slightly touched in her heart. Jiang Mingche was a serious guy and not that annoying... Although Jiang Mingche said it very lightly, Wu Zetian also knew how valuable this sixth-grade elixir was.
In the Tang Dynasty's treasury, there were only a few fourth-grade elixirs, no fifth-grade ones, let alone sixth-grade elixirs.
In this day and age, alchemist has become a very rare profession.
In the entire Chang'an City, and even in the Tang Dynasty, the number of alchemists can be counted on one hand.
Although there are alchemists, no one can refine pills of such high grade.
I guess Jiang Mingche must have paid a considerable price to refine this pill for himself, right?
After all, sixth-grade elixirs are not the cabbages that can be found everywhere on the roadside. Just collecting the medicinal materials is a very long process.
"Your Majesty, it is a bit awkward to tell this to me...
Seeing Wu Zetian like this, Jiang Mingche knew that this woman had started to imagine things in her head again.
However, Jiang Mingche did not explain too much. The more Wu Zetian imagined it, the better.
After all, self-attack is the most deadly.
Moreover, Jiang Mingche could clearly feel the change in Wu Zetian's attitude towards him.
After automatically thinking about it, Wu Zetian's attitude towards him became much better than before, and she no longer resisted him as she did at the beginning.
This is a good start.
It seems that it is just around the corner for me to conquer this flower on the mountain top.
Having said that, Jiang Mingche stood up from his seat and walked in front of Wu Zetian.
"What do you want to do..."
Wu Zetian raised her head and looked at Jiang Mingche nervously, feeling a little afraid that this guy would do something to her again.
Perhaps she herself did not even realize that her attitude was no longer as cold as it was at the beginning.
Although he still had some resistance to Jiang Mingche, the emotion was no longer as strong as it was at the beginning.
"Nothing, I just think your Majesty is very good-looking, so I want to take a closer look."
Jiang Mingche spoke in a teasing tone, and rarely did he act out of character.
"I know he's a talker."
Listening to Jiang Mingche's blatant praise, although Wu Zetian appeared calm on the surface, she was still a little shy in her heart.
There is no woman who doesn't like to be praised, and Wu Zetian is no exception.
Jiang Mingche's words made Wu Zetian happy.
Although she knew that her appearance had always been among the best, Wu Zetian had never been praised like this by a man... After ascending the throne, she was an unparalleled empress with unparalleled beauty.
Those important officials in the court would always be respectful in front of her.
She didn't even dare to breathe when she spoke, let alone praise her own appearance.
Even if they want to flatter me, what they say most is how great I am, etc...
Although Wu Zetian felt a little bit sad when she heard those flatteries, she would inevitably get tired of them after a while.
This straightforward compliment on her appearance actually made her feel more benefited.
"After taking the Tianxiang Pill and recovering your cultivation, Your Majesty, remember to rest more."
"Your Majesty will inevitably feel a little tired during this period of time..."
"I still have some chores to attend to, so I'll leave first..."
After speaking a few more words to Wu Zetian, Jiang Mingche turned around and left.
Today’s trip to Daming Palace was not in vain.
Finally, I fulfilled the wish that I had always longed for in my heart.
Only after Jiang Mingche's back completely disappeared at the door of the bedroom did Wu Zetian withdrew her gaze.
"Someone, get me a bucket of warm water. I want to soak my feet."
After the palace maids prepared the warm water, Wu Zetian waved her hand and asked all the palace maids to leave.
At this time, she naturally couldn't let these little girls serve her, otherwise it would be easy to be exposed...
After all the maids had left, Wu Zetian took her jade feet out of her shoes again.
After sprinkling some flower petals into the warm water, Wu Zetian put her little feet directly into it.
The petals have the function of cleaning and leaving fragrance, and can directly wash away the white stains on the soles of the feet...
After the first wash, Wu Zetian changed the water to warmer ones.
He placed his pair of little feet facing each other and rubbed them against each other.
Soaked in warm water, the pink and crystal jade feet look extremely cute.
“Is it really that perfect??”
Looking at her own pair of jade feet, Wu Zetian's face suddenly turned red, and she remembered what Jiang Mingche said before he left.
"You can tell whether a woman is beautiful by looking at her feet."
"Your Majesty's feet are so perfect, I don't even need to look at her face to know that she must be a peerless beauty..."
After washing her jade feet, Wu Zetian took out the Tianxiang Pill that Jiang Mingche left for her before he left.
Without any hesitation, Wu Zetian swallowed the pill into her stomach in one gulp.
The pill melted in her mouth, and the medicinal effect began to flow through her meridians, constantly washing her limbs and bones, making Wu Zetian feel warm all over.
Guiding the medicinal effect to flow continuously in her body, Wu Zetian also showed a hint of enjoyment on her face...
After leaving Daming Palace, Jiang Mingche rode his horse directly back to his palace.
There is still about half a month before the imperial examination in the autumn, so he doesn't need to rush to Sanfendi.
During this period of time, Jiang Mingche plans to stay at home and spend time with his beautiful ladies.
After returning to the palace, Jiang Mingche handed the horse to the servant and walked directly towards the martial arts field.
If nothing unexpected happens, Mulan should be training in the martial arts arena now.
Since it is a rare free time, Jiang Mingche can also give some pointers to Mulan.
After arriving at the martial arts arena, Jiang Mingche saw Hua Mulan who was practicing swordsmanship.
"Sword Breaking Style."
Mulan was wearing a neat training suit and waving the Qingping sword in her hand.
The Qingping Sword gleamed brightly under the scorching sun, and the sword body reflected dazzling light.
"One sword breaks all laws."
Mulan held the sword in both hands and stabbed it fiercely into the void more than ten meters away.
Sword flowers started from the blade of the Qingping Sword, and a golden sword energy of more than ten feet long pierced directly into the void.
After the sword energy reached the void, it began to explode with a loud bang, and the surrounding air also began to ripple.
"good."
"Mulan, you have basically mastered the art of breaking all laws with one sword."
Jiang Mingche came to Hua Mulan's side and couldn't help but applaud her.
Nearly half a year had passed, and with Hua Mulan's diligent practice, she had almost completely comprehended the secret of breaking all enemies with one sword.
"Husband, you are back."
Seeing Jiang Mingche coming, Hua Mulan's face lit up with joy. She put away the Qingping Sword, stopped practicing, and trotted to Jiang Mingche.
"Tired?"
Jiang Mingche reached out to wipe the sweat from Hua Mulan's forehead and asked with gentle eyes.
“Not tired…”
Hua Mulan shook her head and said in a naive tone.
Both her cheeks were flushed, some because she was tired from practicing, and some because she was shy from Jiang Mingche's gentle actions.
Although they are already an old couple, Hua Mulan still feels shy every time she is flirting with Jiang Mingche.
"My husband has returned from Daming Palace so soon. Has he reported his work to His Majesty?"
After the two of them sat down on a stone bench nearby, Hua Mulan looked up at Jiang Mingche and asked curiously.
She also knew that Jiang Mingche went directly to the Daming Palace after lunch today.
"I have finished reporting..."
"I see that your cultivation has been stuck at the peak of the platinum realm and has not broken through. Have you encountered any bottleneck?"
Jiang Mingche asked curiously.
"Yes..."
"I feel like I have already comprehended most of the "One Sword Breaks All Laws" that my husband taught me, but I still can't make a breakthrough in my cultivation..."
Hua Mulan nodded and said with some distress.
She has been stuck at the peak of the platinum realm for two whole months.
During this period of time, she has been practicing diligently every day in order to break through to the diamond level as soon as possible.
But for some reason, even though she had already comprehended most of the power of breaking all laws with one sword, she still felt that something was missing.
"You can't rush cultivation. It's normal to encounter bottlenecks. Don't worry."
"I have nothing to do today, so I will tell you all my understanding of sword techniques..."
Jiang Mingche said with a faint smile, reaching out to stroke the hair on Hua Mulan's forehead.
"Really?"
After hearing Jiang Mingche's words, Hua Mulan was stunned for a moment, and then her face became a little excited.
As long as Jiang Mingche tells him his understanding of sword techniques, he will definitely be able to make a breakthrough directly and smoothly.
She had this idea in her mind, but Jiang Mingche was too busy before, and she didn't want to take up too much of Jiang Mingche's time.
