Chapter 1181: Breakthrough!

In a torrent, clusters and bursts of mystic energy the size of fists were pouring into the Eastern Palace’s cultivation ground.

“Qiaoqiao is breaking through, right!” Duan Yue gasped.

This little fellow really was an oddball, breaking through to level 14 at her young age!

The queen dowager, who was having tea and chatting merrily with the Countess of Jian’an in the rear garden, suddenly creased her brows and looked up at the Eastern Palace’s direction.

“This is?” The queen dowager shot up and exclaimed in surprise, “Someone is breaking through at the Eastern Palace! From the situation, the person is about to step into the ranks of level-14 mystic cultivators.”

“Could it be His Highness the Crown Prince,” Feng Gu also commented joyfully.

Yet the queen dowager shook her head and looked meaningfully at Feng Gu. She asked with a light smile, “What do you believe the crown prince’s cultivation to be?”

What cultivation could His Highness the Crown Prince be at?

Feng Gu looked at the queen dowager in confusion. Why did she feel that the queen dowager was implying that His Highness the Crown Prince’s cultivation could be even higher than her own?

“Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince has already reached level-15 peak of mystic cultivators?”

“You’re too naive. The level-15 peak for mystic cultivators is only the peak of the mystic realm.” The queen dowager shook her head with a chuckle.

She had long realized that she had never seen through this grandson’s cultivation.

From the very beginning, ever since he was born, the crown prince’s cultivation had always been above the mystic realm.

As for what realm it was exactly, she had never asked, and the crown prince naturally never mentioned it.

“Then who is the one breaking through at the Eastern Palace,” asked Feng Gu curiously.

The queen dowager smiled with closed lips, sitting down again while holding her teacup. “I heard that the crown prince has whisked my young granddaughter-in-law back to the Eastern Palace for these two days. It seemed like they had been fussing about cultivating the whole time.”

However, Feng Gu’s mouth promptly turned round after hearing this. “Im-Impossible! The young crown prince consort is only fifteen years old.”

“She hasn’t even had her coming-of-age hairpin ceremony yet.” The queen dowager laughed even more heartily.

The Countess of Jian’an also remarked with a smile, “The crown prince consort truly is impressive, with her cultivation being so high at such a tender age. She truly is one of a kind in the world.”

The queen dowager was grinning from ear to ear. When Yi’an, who was carrying the tea over, saw this, her expression couldn’t help but stiffen, and she forced a smile. “Did something good happen to make the queen dowager so happy?”

Feng Gu nodded as she took the tea saucer from Commandery Princess Yi’an’s hands. “The queen dowager said that the young crown prince consort is breaking through at the Eastern Palace. She truly is praiseworthy for being able to break through to level 14 before her coming-of-age hairpin ceremony.”

Yi’an’s breathing stopped when she heard this, but she quickly showed a very unnatural smile afterwards. “Is, is that so? Then that really is too incredible.”

Feng Gu didn’t see the change in her facial expression, and she nodded while setting the table with a smile. “Yes, it truly is incredible.”

Meanwhile, the Countess of Jian’an swept Yi’an a faint glance before imperceptibly retracting her gaze.

When Yi’an left, the queen dowager looked at her retreating figure before asking the Countess of Jian’an with a chuckle, “How is she? Last time could also be considered an official meeting between that fellow and Yi’an.”

The Countess of Jian’an replied with a smile, “Many thanks for the queen dowager’s favor. Even though the commandery princess is excellent, it cannot be helped that Yidao, that fellow, already has someone in his heart.”

“Oh?” The queen dowager was stunned. Afterall, she didn’t think that the Countess of Jian’an would be the first to reject.

“Mhm, it is Miss Xiu’e, the Li Family’s third miss.”

The queen dowager subsequently started smiling. “Is it the third daughter of the Office of Imperial Banquets’s Assistant Minister?”

“Correct, it is her,” the Countess of Jian’an answered with a smile.
