The heroine is so cute, she quickly puts on her clothes and lies down

Zhu Yue thought of the current mainstream Confucianism.

She doesn't hate Confucianism, nor does she hate any doctrine. What she hates are those who cannot do it themselves and can only use these ideas to imprison people in order to better maintain their own rule.

She also did not teach anyone to resist or understand the unequal desires, because it was useless.

She could already imagine the criticisms and attacks she would encounter. Here, those who could organize and express their ideas well and attack her with fierce words were all from the ruling class or the landlord class.

Real civilians are like cattle and sheep. They don't think about these things. Just living simply consumes most of their energy.

Those layers of increased taxes and corvee labor were truly horrific. Just one natural disaster would force the common people to sell their children in order to survive.

Zhu Yue retracted her divergent thoughts and stopped thinking about the things she could not change.

At this time, we were already very close to Qingping Kingdom.

After another half a month's journey, Zhu Yue entered the Qingping Kingdom.

There is a huge difference between here and Chenxi Kingdom. If Taoism is prevalent in Chenxi Kingdom, then Buddhism is rampant here in Qingping.

Walking on the streets of Qingping Capital, Zhu Yue could see the Buddhist robes wandering on the streets through a layer of white gauze.

In Gushu Sapo, the most common monks are wearing grey robes, followed by blue, and gold and red are the least.

It seems that color is the standard for distinguishing classes.

She had never seen so many Taoists in the capital of Chenxi Kingdom.

Thinking about Ning Junxi, the chief disciple of Buddhism and Taoism in Qingping Kingdom, who is also the Crown Prince of Qingping.

Zhu Yue felt that this country seemed to have become a true Buddhist country.

Thinking of the explanation of the Buddha Kingdom she had seen before, the Buddha Kingdom was described as an ideal country full of kindness, compassion and wisdom. However, when Zhu Yue thought that Sawadika was also called the Buddha Kingdom, and thought of their strange gods and doctrines, Zhu Yue couldn't help but twitched her mouth and no longer had any expectations for this word.

"...Have you heard...The eldest princess hasn't woken up yet...The king has issued a decree...Whoever can make the princess better will be named the Protector of the Country..."

"The eldest princess is indeed the most favored princess of the king. I'm afraid that in the heart of our king, even the crown prince cannot compare to her..."

"Shh, shh, shh... You don't want to live anymore, but I do... Go away, go away..."

Zhu Yue plied her ears and learned from the glances and whispers of the people around her that it was no wonder that she had sent a letter to Prince Ning when she arrived here last week, but the boy did not come to see her.

So he was worried about his sister...

Zhu Yue didn't go shopping anymore. She came out just to get some information and see if there was anything unusual.

Back at the inn, Zhu Yue opened the window and looked at the monks in robes coming and going on the street, wondering if this competition could still start properly.

She decided that she would wait for him here for a month at most. If she still couldn't compete with him after a month, she would stop waiting and go travel around Qingping.

The journey from Chenxi to Qingping passed through seventeen cities, both large and small. Zhu Yue had already drawn a map in a modern way, which was very detailed.

She also prepared a diary to record the geographical information along the way and the various strange things she encountered. Some were local legends, and some were encountered by her herself. This was a task assigned by the national teacher. Zhu Yue felt that this was probably the ancient version of a travelogue in the eyes of modern people.

In this ancient time when transportation was difficult and information transmission was slow, it was of great help if this information could be recorded.

She also read the travel notes of Chen Qingyuan and the Imperial Master in the study, and she enjoyed them very much and found them very interesting.

----

After Zhu Yue had been waiting for half a month, an uninvited guest came to the inn.

It was a grand ceremony, with the young man in the lead walking with big strides. Zhu Yue stood on the stairs and looked at the man, who was very handsome.

He is tall and handsome, with skin as white as jade, deep eyes that seem to be able to see into people's hearts, a high nose bridge and a chiseled face. He is dressed in a black robe and looks extremely handsome.

When Ning Junxi saw Chen Chunzhi, he was so stunned by his appearance that he couldn't help but sway in his gaze.

"It's been a long time since we last met. Without resolving family issues, Xi has no intention of competing. I've wasted Chunzhi's time. Are you willing to give me a chance to make amends?"

Chen Chunzhi's version of Zhu Yue was indeed getting a little impatient waiting.

"No need. Our competition itself won't take long. We just need to predict the recent world events." This was really simple for Zhu Yue. She felt that Ning Junxi's words were just an excuse.

Does it mean that if the eldest princess doesn't wake up, she will have to spend the whole day here? This doesn't make sense.

There was not much respect for Ning Junxi in her words, which made the people behind Ning Junxi come back to their senses from her appearance and look extremely angry.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Ning Junxi's eyes, and he waved his hand back, signaling everyone else to leave.

They waited until they were the only two people in the inn.

Ning Junxi just explained: "It wouldn't have hindered the competition, but because I need to extend my sister's life, I don't have any extra energy in my body."

Zhu Yue's eyes gradually turned dark, showing displeasure.

What you mean is that there is no comparison, right?

"So what are you going to do, stop competing?"

If this person dared to say that he didn't want to compete anymore, she would leave at night and cast a spell of bad luck on him, making him unlucky for a week.

Ning Junxi hesitated and said, "My master heard that your attainments in medicine are as good as those in Five Elements Divination. I wonder if you would like to go and see my sister..."

Zhu Yue was slightly stunned, she didn't expect this. Was he trying anything desperate, or was he too worried that his sister had no better ideas?

The two of them are not friends. To be precise, they are rivals. Even rivals without a life-and-death feud are still rivals.

"What good does it do me to save people?"

"Xi will definitely reward you handsomely."

"I don't believe that. I'm not from here. I'll leave sooner or later after the competition. The titles of duke, marquis and earl are useless to me. If I save someone..."

Zhu Yue's eyes moved to the black rope hanging from his chest. She felt a sense of space on it.

"Give me your pendant, or something equivalent to it."

Zhu Yue felt that Ning Junxi should also be able to sense the extraordinary nature of this ornament, otherwise he would not carry it with him.

"can."

Ning Junxi agreed without hesitation, these things were all external objects.

Although it is precious, it is insignificant compared to the life of my only sister.

After agreeing on the price, Zhu Yue asked Ning Junxi to wait while she pretended to go back to her room to pack her bags. In fact, she entered the space and poured out a bamboo tube of spiritual spring water, which she hid in her wide sleeves.

He followed her into the palace and saw the sleeping woman.

Princess Ning Anle of Qingping Kingdom looks to be of a certain age, with wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, but it does not affect her beauty.

It was a kind of graceful and elegant beauty like a beautiful flower in the world. Zhu Yue felt that her pale face from sleeping for too long had diminished her appearance a little, and she would be more beautiful when she woke up.

"How about it?"

Zhu Yue took her hand away from Ning Anle's wrist, but she couldn't find anything. She thought about it and asked, "Is this a curse?"
