Chapter 43: Hill (I)
Imperial Palace of Austin.
Linda Aceris was lying on a couch sipping black tea and squinting.
Although in the Austin Empire there is no regular elective as in the other world, the harem is three thousand. But there are still not a few people who want to climb into the bed of His Majesty the Emperor, and there are no monogamous regulations in this world, as long as you love me, whether it is polygamy or polyandry is legal, of course, this situation is still relatively rare, and the average person will only choose one partner.
And Austin VII has a lot of wives, otherwise how could he give birth to more than 30 princesses and princes? Sowing seeds everywhere, of course.
As one of the wives of Austin VII, Linda Assellis is not favored, her mother's family is only a third-rate family, and she does not have much power, so she can be said to be the least threatening person for the queen.
And Linda Arthuris herself is also happy to be idle, looking like she has seen through the red dust and clouds, and is not dressed like other concubines, looking for opportunities to meet His Majesty the Emperor all day long, and dangling in front of his eyes.
This Linda Aceris is happy to be idle, and when she is not summoned, she just hides in her small yard embroidering, drinking tea, and sleeping.
"Mother, mother, mother! Look at you! In the originally quiet room, the voice of my daughter, who was supposed to be playing in the yard, could be heard in the distance.
There was undisguised excitement in her daughter's voice.
Maybe you got some novelty and wanted to share it with your mother, right? Is it a gadget given by a palace maid or a guard? Or did you catch a butterfly with a beautiful color that is rare?
Thinking like this, Linda Aseris unconsciously put a smile on her face.
It's not that you don't want to fight, who doesn't want to be a master? Who wants to bow to each other even though they are both the wives of His Majesty? However, Linda Aceris really can't fight.
Speaking of beauty, I'm sorry, but in the palace, especially by His Majesty's side, there is no shortage of young and beautiful women.
His Majesty the Emperor may have been pampered for a while by the novelty of the moment, but after that brief enthusiasm, it will gradually fade away, like Linda Aceris herself.
And the family power, Linda Acerlis's family is just a third-rate family, and the biggest official in the family is just the city lord of a remote city, such a family can only be regarded as a third-rate family in the imperial capital.
When she knew that she had no hope and gave up the fight, Linda Aseris thought it was good.
The so-called contented people are always happy, and the spiritual victory method is really broad and profound, and Linda Asselis now feels that those women who want to get His Majesty's attention all day long are really tired.
After really letting go, she felt relaxed, and now she will be in a better mood because the black tea in the afternoon is unexpectedly delicious, she will feel happy because of today's sunny weather, and she will feel satisfied because of her daughter's innocent words.
At this time, hearing her daughter's excited voice and the sound of small footsteps that kept approaching, Linda Acerlis had a smile on her face. "Ciel, slow down."
"Mother Princess, Mother Princess!" Two-year-old daughter, Hill, trotted in with excitement on her face.
Seeing the excited smile on her daughter's face, Linda Athlees couldn't help but think that Hill was a girl, maybe it was a good thing.
Because if the biological mother's family has no power, there will be no hope for the succession in the future, but it may be murdered because of the suspicion of the superior.
But the princess will not, because the princess will not pose any threat to their succession. So there's no need to deal with this powerless girl.
Linda Athleis looked at her daughter's excited smiling face and had a lot of thoughts.
"Xi'er, what do you want to show your mother, did you run too fast just now and lost it?" Linda Aseris smiled and looked at her daughter empty-handed.
"What a loss! Look, Queen Mother! Ciel held out her right hand.
The girl's immature and fair right hand had nothing on it.
"What are you going to show your mother, it's ...... everything" Linda Athrius had a stiff smile on her face, and her sleepy and leisurely eyes suddenly widened with a surprised expression.
Because...... At this time, a yellow flame rose on her daughter's white and tender right hand!
"It's actually quite simple!" Xi'er's face was proud, the same as the expression she had shown off to her mother the day before when she was holding a grasshopper made of straw from the palace maid.
But it wasn't some grasshopper! Linda Aceris knew very well what this flame in her daughter's hand represented at this time!
As everyone knows, to learn magic, you must first have a talent for magic.
Magical talent, on the other hand, can be divided into two conditions, one of which is indispensable.
The first of these is "elemental affinity".
As long as the average person has a magical talent before the age of six, they will be able to feel the magical elements in the air, and the type and number of magical elements they feel determine the attributes of the magical talent and the strength of the talent.
And after the age of six, if you can't feel the existence of magical elements, then you have no magical talent.
The cultivation of magic is different from the cultivation of martial artists, and it will not lead to adverse sequelae due to premature cultivation.
On the contrary, the sooner you awaken your magical talent, the sooner you can get ahead of others and start your magical cultivation.
So the younger you are, the sooner you can feel the magic element, the better!
At this time, the flame in Xi'er's hand, in addition to showing that Xi'er has the talent of fire-based magic, also shows that her talent is very high!
Not only can you feel the magic elements, but you can also simply gather the magic elements together without relying on spells, forming a fire that is visible to the naked eye! This kind of magical talent is already rare in the mainland!
After Linda Aceris was slightly stunned, she immediately looked excited, and took her daughter's hand with a red face with excitement.
"Mother, where are we going?" Two-year-old Ci'er looked at her mother, who was flushed with excitement, in confusion.
She hadn't walked out of the yard since she could remember, and her mother actually pulled her out of the yard at this time.
"Ciel! You're a genius! Linda Acerlis's eyebrows changed from the previous leisurely laziness to a kind of firmness.
"I'm going to give you the treatment that a genius deserves!"
……
"Your Majesty, Princess Linda Athlees outside the door asks to see you." The old attendant, who had followed Austin VII since he was a child, stooped down and said to His Majesty the Emperor, who was sitting at the table to review the recitals.
"Linda Arterys?" Austin VII wondered, apparently his wife was too right to remember for a while.
"The youngest daughter of the Asselis family, the father of Princess Linda, the father of the Aceris family, the old Gale is the lord of Ters City, and Linda is the biological mother of the eighth princess." The old squire has white hair and a white beard, but his memory is very good.
"Oh, I remember, Linda......" His Majesty Austin VII murmured.
"I've never seen her come over to ask for a meeting, no, I should say that I haven't been out of the yard except for festivals, so I'm safe." His Majesty the Emperor said.
"Let her in."
The same applies to the principle of "the wolf is coming", if it is those concubines who usually come to see and have nothing to do, Austin VII will definitely let the old servant go out and send him away with "His Majesty is busy reviewing documents".
"See Your Majesty." Linda took her daughter to her knees and saluted.
"Okay, please tell me something, I'm actually quite busy." Austin VII gestured to the tall stack of papers on the table beside him.
"Ciel." Princess Linda called her daughter softly.
I saw Princess Cier, who was kneeling on the ground, stretching out her right hand,
A small yellow flame appeared out of thin air from the palm of his hand......
