He Qingluo left, Xiao dreamed of leaving, and was stopped. After delaying for a while, even if he went out at this time, he couldn't find He Qingluo's whereabouts, so he had to sit down and find another way.

The crown prince proudly returned to his seat and sat down, the emperor nodded his head in approval, and then greeted the audience.

"The people present are all young talents of my Xuanyuan Dynasty. I am old, and I am always worried about the afterlife, and I am very afraid when I think of the country's century-old society. Now that most of our courtiers are old, there is no substitute for young people, and I am afraid that there will be no one to replace today's prosperous era in the future. The day before yesterday, I talked with the national teacher, and I said, "The national teacher, you are the pillar of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, if I go west in the future, this great country will have to rely on you!" The national teacher refused to take this statement again and again, and said bluntly that the Xuanyuan Dynasty produced many talents, but it was a pity that they were not cultivated correctly. The national teacher volunteered to work a little, recruiting several young people with good qualifications and good temperament for the country to be apprentices and cultivate good students. This is the solution to my worries. ”

"Now I have called you to give you a fair and open opportunity. The national teacher will select apprentices from both qualifications and mental considerations. Kids, do your best! ”

As soon as the words fell, many people were eager to try, and some people recommended themselves, and the national teacher tested the immortal root comprehension for them, and then told them the deeds that could show their hearts.

There is a person who has a bad heart and is irritable and irritable, which is widely known. At this point, he refused to give up the great opportunity, so he talked about a trivial matter, saying that his maid had once broken his most precious vessel, and he did not blame her.

For a while, everyone laughed.

The national teacher asked unceremoniously, "That time." Why didn't you blame? As far as I know, you often beat and curse your subordinates, and you get angry at every turn. Even his own mother will fight against it! ”

The man was embarrassed, and said for a while, "That time, I was angry in my heart and let the maid break it myself!" ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

The emperor also laughed out loud, "This kid, his temper is a little worse." But fortunately, it's honest, hahahaha! ”

Praise is praise, the national teacher did not leave him.

A few more people. In order to brag and sell himself, he exaggerated things, and even lied, but he didn't know that this place was full of people staring at the position of the national teacher's apprentice. He will not be allowed to deceive. So all of them joined forces, and you and I said a word, and pierced the lie.

For this kind of thing, the emperor directly invited people out of the banquet.

The atmosphere of the banquet was lively because of the vigor of the young people.

For the time being, it was not Xiao Meng's turn, so Xiao Meng ate while watching, and did not take the initiative to stand out.

The emperor sitting on the throne glanced at Xiao Meng from time to time. He glanced at the national teacher again and exchanged opinions with his eyes.

Xiao Meng sat there and was at ease. Unhurried, now it seems that this Xiao Meng, who is not from a very good background, does not seem to be very interested in the opportunities they provide.

The national teacher signaled to wait, perhaps Xiao Meng was too sure and wanted to make a final splash.

However, the people present, both extroverted and introverted, had already shown their self-promotion, and Xiao Meng showed no signs of moving.

The emperor took one last look at the national teacher and motioned for him to take the initiative to invite.

Everyone in the banquet hall stared at the national teacher, waiting for the national teacher to announce the apprentice candidate, but the national teacher stood up, picked up the wine glass, and walked to Xiao Meng's banquet.

Only then did everyone remember that there was another unidentified person there.

Even the national teacher took the initiative to talk to him, what kind of treatment is this.

"This little girl, among the young people who are ready to move and scramble, you are indifferent, living in a corner, sitting and watching the rights and wrongs of others, and you have a kind of Taishan pressure and the face does not change the color, which really makes the old man appreciate and like. The old man visually saw that the young lady's qualifications were also good, so he had the intention of accepting apprentices, but I don't know if the young lady has the intention of apprenticeship? ”

Xiao Meng knew that this matter would come sooner or later. Now the national teacher is courtesy, if you refuse, I'm afraid you will be forced.

Xiao Meng got up with the wine, thinking about how to speak, and some people were very unconvinced.

"It's not fair! Why can't I be recognized for my dedicated display, she is indifferent to the national teacher's appreciation? We also obeyed the emperor's orders before coming to the stage to recommend ourselves, and she just ignored the emperor's orders and pretended to be high! ”

Many people spoke out in favor of him.

The emperor raised his hand to signal that he should not be impatient, and asked rhetorically, "What kind of mind is needed to cultivate immortals, do you know better, or do you know better?" ”

The audience responded, "Naturally, he is a national teacher!" ”

"Let me ask you again, what kind of mind is needed to cultivate immortals, is it better for me to know, or is it better for the national teacher?"

Naturally, they are also national teachers, but they don't dare to answer for a while. Who dares to compare the emperor with his courtiers?

The emperor himself replied, "Naturally, he is still a national teacher." Therefore, although I said the method of selecting apprentices, I did not say the criteria for selecting apprentices, here, the national teacher has his own fixed number in his heart, don't get excited! ”

The audience should be, the scene was quiet, and the eyes were focused on Xiao Meng again.

If it was good to refuse before, now that the emperor has called, Xiao Meng can't refuse on the grounds that he is not qualified enough. The national teacher said that she has a good heart and can be her apprentice, how can she refute it herself?

Only to say that he has already apprenticed. It's just that it's a bit difficult to explain where the teacher came from.

It is difficult to ride a tiger, and you can only go down.

Xiao Meng picked up the wine and raised it towards the national teacher, "The national teacher is a nobleman of the Xuanyuan Dynasty and is admired, Xiao Meng is a commoner, and today he is very grateful to the national teacher." Xiao Meng had the courage to pay tribute to the national teacher. ”

The national teacher smiled and did not drink.

After Xiao Meng finished speaking, he raised his glass and drank it all. Let the maid add wine, Xiao Meng raised the wine glass again,

"It's just that I also ask the national teacher to forgive Xiao Meng's mistakes. The reason why Xiao Meng did not come to the stage to recommend himself was not that Xiao Meng was indifferent, but that he couldn't. Otherwise, Xiao Meng was only afraid that the first one would rush forward! Therefore, the appreciation and praise of the national teacher really made Xiao Meng ashamed, and he felt that he was actually embarrassed. ”

Qing Lingling's voice was not arrogant, impatient, or hurried, if before, everyone felt that the national teacher had judged Xiao Meng's temperament, but now they would not think so.

Any one of the people present, if they were so praised and courteous by the high-ranking national teacher, how could they still treat them so indifferently, I was afraid that they would be incoherent and excited, and I don't know what to do.

And Xiao Meng's ability to act in an orderly manner really made them admire, and they couldn't help but think, what kind of environment cultivated such a humble and not arrogant heart?

"Can't? Can the girl tell the old man why you can't worship the old man as a teacher? ”

Xiao Meng raised his glass, paused, and replied, "Xiao Meng has already worshipped others as teachers earlier, a teacher for one day, and a father for life, Xiao Meng does not dare to choose another good teacher without the consent of the master, and please forgive the national teacher!" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden crisp jingle in the hall, which was very harsh.

Xiao Meng heard the sound and looked at it, it turned out that it was the maid beside the emperor who knocked down the wine glass on the emperor's seat.

The emperor looked at the maid sternly, and the queen hurriedly got up, apologized to the emperor, and then ordered, "Pull this hairy maid out, beat the seventy boards, fast for three days and three nights, and then put him in the cold palace." ”

The maid's face turned pale when she landed, her legs were soft and her eyes were black, and she fell down. (To be continued......)
