After the first two busy days, life in the Qi Wangfu officially got on track.

Get on track at your leisure.

New Year's Day is approaching, and the whole palace is busy preparing for the New Year. There are several supervisors in the house, who are already quite skilled, and they are not allowed to ask others for help.

Xu Heng was idle, and every day when he was idle, he either went to the martial arts arena to practice martial arts, or took Shangguan Tingxue to play around;

In addition to practicing, Su Su and Xiao Yi are sisters and help her work in the house, and learn a lot of girls' crafts;

Pu Feng and Xu Zhen, the pair of masters and apprentices, do every day in addition to practicing or practicing. Pu Feng's strength in practicing martial arts seems to have infected Xu Zhen, and all the young man's mind and experience have been used in sword training, compared to his not so good foundation, he has made rapid progress;

And Chen Changsheng, under the guidance of Ma Ye, is growing rapidly, and every time Xu Heng trains with him, he can feel his progress.

This period of time in the Qi Palace's mansion seems to be a period of repair, and everyone is seizing the time to enhance their martial arts and prepare for the future;

Xu Heng wants to take root in the rivers and lakes, so he naturally knows the importance of martial arts. This trip out of the rivers and lakes may be because it was his first time walking, and there were not many first-class masters he encountered, and the only few difficulties he had survived by virtue of his opportunities;

But the half-demon fairy he encountered in the underground stone chamber of Wuhua Mountain made Xu Heng really realize: For the first-class masters in the rivers and lakes, it really doesn't take too much effort to kill themselves. It's really in that situation, and if you drop ten times with one force, no matter how smart you are, it's useless.

Xu Heng is still practicing, and Pu Feng, who is usually obsessed with sword practice, is even more obsessed with it. It's just that this wise and foolish young man still has a lot more worries than before he became the master of the bladeless sword:

One is that he accepted Xu Zhen as an apprentice, and while practicing by himself, he also had to take care of the progress of his apprentice. For him as a new teacher, everything is new and unfamiliar when it comes to teaching his apprentices. There was no one to guide him, so he pondered it by himself, combined with his own experience in practice, to provide guidance for Xu Zhen. Pu Feng was a teacher, Xu Zhenchu was an apprentice, and this pair of masters and apprentices moved forward hand in hand in stumbling.

The other is Pu Feng's concern for staying in Wuhua Mountain. After stabilizing down, he once wrote a letter to Jiang Liyue of Baihemen, informing him of the current situation. And Jiang Liyue, who received a letter from her sweetheart from the official road station, was surprised and delighted. Although she didn't know how Pu Feng had a relationship with the government of the Yang Dynasty and was able to send letters through the post station, she was still very happy, and asked the post station to send a reply every three or five times.

The content is generally trivial matters such as the recent situation of Baihemen, his own thoughts, and the growth and changes of drunken children, Jiang Liyue writes sweetly, and Pu Feng reads it intimately. Jiang Liyue brought him a new feeling.

As a contemporary disciple of the Wufeng Sword Sect, Xu Zhenxin had many reasons for practicing hard at the beginning: Pu Feng's urging and expectations, his desire for strength and status, the danger mentality he had cultivated since childhood, and the unattainable admiration buried deep in his heart.

Among these initial powers, it is difficult to say which one accounts for a greater proportion, but Xu Zhen is still young, not so many melancholy, in the process of staying in the palace and practicing with the master every day, he gradually found a stronger motivation to practice martial arts: the sword is faster, the sword moves are more proficient, the sword is more violent, and the light skill is better...... and so on, all of which made him feel happy.

His interest in martial arts began to surpass all the distractions at the beginning, and he began to embark on the path of pursuing higher martial arts.

The pure obsession with martial arts is more likely to form at a young age, and for Chen Changsheng, whose mind has long matured, practicing martial arts is just a need to walk the rivers and lakes. Compared with learning the rules of the rivers and lakes, understanding the knowledge of the rivers and lakes, and the behavior of the rivers and lakes, it is just a skill, which can allow him to better understand and see the rivers and lakes. Since leaving Xijing City, his original intention has never changed: to travel through the rivers and lakes and see a scene that he has never seen before, that's all.

Therefore, he doesn't care if his martial arts path will stagnate when he reaches a certain height, and he can learn Ma Xingwen calmly and fearlessly, focusing on the "Forty-Nine Swords of the Day After Tomorrow" that will leave future troubles in the path of martial arts.

In addition to buying wine for Ma Ye to guide the practice, he also borrowed a lot of information about the rivers and rivers from Xu Heng to make up for the knowledge of the rivers and lakes and prepare for the future to explore the rivers and lakes alone.

Xu Heng was entrusted by Chen's father to take care of Chen Changsheng, but he couldn't take care of him for a while. Chen Changsheng's sober understanding of this, secretly Xu Heng was in his arms, and it happened that he had recently used the Jianghu Division, which had reopened the door to him, to access information, so he gave Chen Changsheng a copy of everything he had seen. This walk in the rivers and lakes made Xu Heng realize many problems, and this time he checked it and became targeted, knowing what to look for and what to look for, and Chen Changsheng also benefited a lot from it.

Su Su didn't know what method he used, but he and Xu Heng's personal maid Xiaoyi became best friends who talked about everything. I am inseparable from Xiaoyi every day, and I have learned a lot of things that girls should know, makeup, dressing, and smiling...... Su Su and Xiao Yi's demeanor when they stayed together became more and more beautiful, so that Xu Heng, who was used to Su Su's simple dress, often looked sideways.

Of course, it is also tainted with a lot of bad habits. For example, when they were idle, the two girls pulled Xu Heng to try on various clothes and try various combinations, which made Xu Heng cry bitterly. However, Xu Heng also saw a lot of customs that he couldn't usually see on Su Su's face, and he also enjoyed it.

Everyone had something to do, and the only one who was carefree was Shangguan Tingxue.

This little princess is spoiled by the people of the whole palace, and she eats every day in addition to playing. There are a lot of delicious snacks every day, but there is no longer meat on the body, this kind of wild eating does not make Xiao Ji, who pays attention to her figure very jealous, and shouts that it is unfair, every time she sees Shangguan Tingxue, she hugs and touches around to see if there is any meat.

Shangguan Tingxue was also afraid of this terrifying sister after a few times, and took Da Bai and another black and white big cat all over the palace every day, and when the palace was bored, he ran around in Shen'an City. Xu Heng took him out to run rampant in the good place of the imperial capital, and the arrogance of the crown prince and grandson no one dared to provoke the powerful children of the entire Shen'an City, and before the end of the year, the name of the princess Snow was spread throughout the entire Shen'an City.

In the end, it even reached the ears of Emperor Wu, and on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, Xu Jing personally returned to the Qi Palace, and picked up the official to listen to the snow face saint. In the end, it was the trouble he caused, Xu Heng was nervous for a while, and he didn't know how Emperor Wu would treat this granddaughter who was born to him, but seeing that his father Xu Jing looked like an old god, he was a lot more relieved.

The result was also a great joy, and the next day followed the elated Shangguan Tingxue back, and there was a silver and gold book, Shangguan Tingxue was directly canonized as a princess, and the title was Anle.

This canonization shocked the entire Shen'an City.

You must know that Shangguan Tingxue is even the prince's concubine, Xu Jing was only a granddaughter of the emperor before he ascended the throne, with Xu Jing's body as the prince, his daughter was directly named a princess, which is a big impropriety!

But no matter how much you don't make peace with the etiquette system, you can't match Emperor Wu's liking.

In the nearly 60 years of Emperor Wu's reign, he has been conscientiously working as a sage emperor, and in the first half of his life, he did not have a transgression, but brought unprecedented prosperity to Dayang.

In addition to the frequent replacement of princes in his later years, it was also for a reason, the previous princes made mistakes themselves, and there were no shortcomings and stains that could be blamed by the officials and historians, and it can be said that they were sages and emperors.

Now, now, I have to be shocked that I have canonized a granddaughter as a princess by the transcendence system.

But invariably, the civil and military officials headed by the prime minister and the three princes all remained silent about this.

Emperor Wu is very old, and recently there is news that the deadline is approaching and his life is not long, as an emperor, Emperor Wu is already very wise. After being virtuous all his life, it is acceptable to do a little bit of one or two things in his old age that will not shake the foundation of Dayang.

Since Emperor Wu likes that imperial daughter, he will be canonized, and no one will grasp the "little willfulness" of an admirable emperor in his later years at this time. So Shangguan listened to the title of Princess Anle, and it fell on him like this.

The little girl was very happy that she had the title of princess again, and like her title, she continued to play happily every day, in peace and joy. But she didn't know what kind of impact her princess title had on the entire Huangjing Shen'an City, and even Dayang.

After all, Xu Heng is a child of the royal family, and he has an extraordinary sense of smell on this kind of issue. It soon discovered the changes that had quietly taken place in Shen'an City.

It was verified in a series of events that followed on New Year's Day.

Emperor Wu sealed the imperial pen on the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, officially entering the New Year's Day spring break, and the emperor and the hundred officials rested. On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the first family feast began. All the imperial relatives in Beijing were invited to the palace and were invited to a banquet by the emperor in Chaoyang Palace.

At this kind of banquet, it stands to reason that you can bring your children, but firstly, you are too old to be liked, and secondly, you are young and do not know the rules, so generally speaking, few people bring them. But this time the palace banquet had a different meaning.

Xu Heng and Xu Jin are both among the palace banquets, and they are quite high for this, so they can see it very clearly.

This time, many palace nobles brought one or two children at the palace banquet, and they were about the same age as Shangguan Tingxue, most of them were girls, and a few were cute boys; those who had sons brought sons, and those who did not have such a young son brought grandchildren, all of them were cute and cute, and they had a milky voice when they congratulated Emperor Wu for the first time, which was very cute.

Xu Heng Xu Jin saw this situation, and smiled at each other, what these princes and nobles did was too obvious, and they could understand their purpose after a little thought.

It's a pity that Emperor Wu didn't stay at the banquet for a long time due to physical reasons, and he only showed his preference for Princess Anle during the time he was present. Shangguan Tingxue was brought to Emperor Wu's side, and no matter what he said or did, Emperor Wu would laugh heartily. And the princes and nobles who took the initiative to bring their children to come up were disdainful, and when they left, they also took Princess Anle to the harem.

This move disappointed the well-prepared imperial relatives.

As soon as Emperor Wu left, at the palace banquet presided over by the crown prince Xu Jing, the original dignified atmosphere immediately came alive, and it soon became a playground for children.

The ancestor worship on the first day of the Lunar New Year is still in order, and there is no change compared with previous years. Father Xu Jing came forward instead of Emperor Wu, all the etiquette was very thoughtful, so that people could not find fault, and the four-day spring break from the first to the fourth day of the new year could taste something else.

For example, the overflowing worship posts, invitations, and banquets in the Qi Palace's mansion are several times more than in previous years. The Spring Festival customs, which had been thrifty for decades, began to loosen this year, and the extravagant and lascivious Spring Festival etiquette began to tentatively rise.

These are all changes caused by Emperor Wu's title of Princess Anle, and the emperor's relatives and civil and military officials are also very tacit about this, testing Emperor Wu's attitude a little bit.

And these, until the beginning of the fifth day of the new year, did not see Emperor Wu's reaction, but the crown prince Xu Jing slightly mentioned the innocuous words of "reducing the arrogance that gradually rises in the imperial capital, and all civil and military officials are responsible", Emperor Wu just hummed, still sitting on the throne and bowing his head and napping. It has attracted many officials to secretly rejoice.

There is no way, the court has been suppressed for too long.

Being an official of one of the parents outside said that being an official in Beijing has become a high power position at the same time, the constraints are also quite large. The main reason is that Emperor Wu is too virtuous, so that all the officials in the court have to be virtuous officials.

Emperor Wu has done so well that there have been no mistakes in the past sixty years. It was so good that the civil and military officials had to cooperate with this virtuous emperor to do better. The pressure is too great to vent, and every Beijing official is trembling, not daring to make a little omission. Under the rule of Emperor Wu, the court of the Yang Dynasty was tense for too long, and it was extremely urgent to need a period of time to vent.

For the court of the Yang Dynasty, this incident of Princess An Le is a good omen, indicating that they can relax a little, at least in the period before Emperor Wu's death.

However, not all officials think this way, and a small number of people are pessimistic. Because judging from the abolition of the first three princes, this time it is inevitable that Emperor Wu wants to capture him.

On the evening of the fourth day of the first lunar month, Wang Bachelor and other important people who supported the crown prince expressed such opinions at a banquet called an ordinary banquet, which was actually a secret banquet for Xu Jing, and then he fell drunk and unconscious.

In order to avoid suspicion, Xu Jin and Xu Heng went on behalf of their father, and they all smiled when they heard this: Having said that, this secret carnival is also likely to be Emperor Wu's desire to capture the past, but even if it is a clear stream in the court****** didn't he still carry out this banquet?

If it was placed in the past, supporting the crown prince Xu Jing was secretly helping, giving them 10,000 guts, and they didn't dare to get together like this.

After all, there are three deposed princes in the lesson, the first deposed Henan king Xu Hua is in the period of competition for the throne, in the court to construct their own power, and use the interests to pull the minister to defect, and finally although the fight for the throne, but also because of the chaos of the party, less than a year by Emperor Wu abolished, demoted to a concubine.

- Emperor Wu didn't like the hundred officials to form a party around the prince.

This is the lesson that Baiguan learned from the deposed incident of the first crown prince.
