Chapter 249: Mediocrity

He usually gives people the impression of being mediocre, without anything noteworthy, and most of the time he will make people feel cowardly.

But the prince always makes people have no expectations, the more mediocre and incompetent people are, the more people will suspect that they are hiding the ability to make a blockbuster.

However, Chu Yongji is different from those inconspicuous counterattack princes in history, he is mediocre, he is a true mediocrity, a real coward, and a real mud who can't support the wall.

Although he himself does not admit it.

If there is anything inconsistent, it is probably like this - ordinary and proud, as long as you don't fight with others, no one will see you being defeated.

The concubines will also come to the Ferris Tower to worship during the New Year's holidays, and Songling saw his mother Baili Yonggui at that time.

The emperor did not set up an imperial concubine, so he only set up a concubine, before Queen Yun did not succeed to the throne, this Yonggui concubine and the mother of the second prince, Concubine Xiao Xian, were fighting in the dark, bloody and bloody.

Concubine Yong's family background is a king with a different surname in the western borderlands, born with some wild charm, plus her life is bright and fierce, and she was once deeply favored by the old emperor.

The son who was born had a time when he was a child, and at the age of three, he would talk eloquently about ancient and modern allusions, and write bolder and more profound strategies than his peers, although he was still very one-sided.

The old emperor was very satisfied with Chu Yongji, and Concubine Yong also thought it was a great honor, so she had to lead Chu Yongji everywhere to show off her talents, but after entering the Jingwei Academy, Chu Yongji's point of view was always against Mr.

The gentleman of Wenlan Pavilion didn't dare to screw him, nor did he dare to teach other children according to his nonsense, and he couldn't teach several gentlemen in a row.

The old emperor had to point out the majestic and domineering Han Taifu of Qingfeng Pavilion to him to teach, but Chu Yongji couldn't screw it and ran to complain to the old emperor, insisting that Han Taifu was seriously misleading him by talking about some messy things.

The old emperor always thought that there was nothing wrong with his family's sixth natural prodigy, and at first it was just when he and the Taifu did not deal with him, telling him to brainstorm without sticking to his own arguments, but later Chu Yongji became more and more unwilling to show weakness, and deliberately targeted several Taifu in the Shangshuguan everywhere.

The old emperor was so annoyed by his complaint that he couldn't do it, so he tested him for endorsement in public, but Chu Yongji, who had always flaunted himself as well-versed in ancient times, even memorized the basic books and texts, and the old emperor was angry and punished him to go back to the palace for retreat.

Tell the other children of the same generation to go every three days, take turns to confront him with the poems, and Chu Yongji can only release them if he wins them all.

So Chu Yongji was imprisoned for a year, and the myth of "prodigy" was completely broken.

Concubine Yong was already full of expectations for the six princes, who knew that the result would be like this, she felt deeply ashamed, and she didn't want to let Chu Yongji go out to show off, so she simply didn't even go to Jingwei Academy.

At that time, it coincided with the old emperor's favor of the new queen and the establishment of the crown prince, and the dream of Yongguifei's mother with her son was completely shattered, and her temper became extremely irritable in her depression, and she often vented her nameless anger at Chu Yongji.

When the crown prince Chu Yongwang began to go to Jingwei Academy to study, and Concubine Yonggui heard that Chu Yongwang was lonely and eccentric, and even the emperor was not satisfied, she felt that Chu Yongji had a bright future, and Chu Yongji returned to the Shangshu Pavilion.

And Chu Yongji, who was released again, has completely changed as a person, compared to his own withdrawn but pitiful Chu Yongwang, he is still an inconspicuous marginal person in the Jingwei Academy.

It's just that this time, Concubine Yong Guifei didn't have the confidence to go back to the emperor to intercede and call Chu Yongji back, so he could only let him study under the same roof with a group of children much younger than him at such an embarrassing age.

finally got through the age, and Concubine Yong hurriedly sent him out of the palace to get married and crowned the king.

But in Chu Yongji's heart, he never felt that he was inferior.

The eldest prince rebelled and died, the second prince is now a waste who spends all his days drinking and having fun, and the prince has ruined his father's expectations of him when he was a child, and he is pale and thin as if he will not die.

The old eleven was born with a problem, although his six princes did not have anything particularly prominent, but there was nothing wrong with it.

Therefore, there will be nothing wrong with the choice of a great power teacher.

"Why am I not at the right time?" Chu Yongji disdainful.

"The Great Master won't come back until Princess Yuning wakes up."

Songling doesn't talk too much.

Chu Yongji looked at the light outside the window: "When will she wake up?" ”

"We can't predict that."

"Is the king going to wait here forever?"

"You can also leave, and when the Great Master returns, he will naturally notify you of the meeting as appropriate."

"I want to see him, and I want him to inform me?"

"The Great Master prefers the people above you to negotiate with the Great Master."

Chu Yongji suddenly felt displeased: "There is no one above, only me."

I am the person chosen by the great national teacher, this is what the great national teacher himself said. ”

Song Ling stared at him coldly and calmly, not wanting to speak.

"But...... If you appear as the messenger of the Lord now, I am afraid it will not be safe. ”

Song Ling said in a roundabout way, "It is precisely because we want to protect you that the great master specially appoints a 'person from above' to shelter you from the wind and rain and avoid unnecessary crises." ”

Chu Yongji was a little relieved when he said this, and stood up holding his neck: "Then I don't want to stay for a while." ”

"You can't leave just yet."

Song Ling said, "Wait until the Sky Tower opens to determine when you can leave." ”

Chu Yongji sat down again, and Songling served tea and let him fill his stomach first.

After a long time, the skyscraper tower was open to pilgrims, and Songling waited by the window, watching the people coming and going on the long white marble steps. Flow.

She asked a few henchmen to keep an eye on Chu Yongji, went downstairs to answer it, and after a quarter of an hour or so, she came back and told Chu Yongji that he could leave.

Chu Yongji passed by her side, saw her holding the folded clothes in her arms, and said with a smile: "Where did you get this set of clothes?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Sixth often comes and goes, and it is appropriate to have a few decent clothes."

Song Ling said.

The clothes in her arms are royal and well-embroidered, and you can distinguish them at a glance.

Chu Yongji changed his clothes and went downstairs to leave.

Song Ling looked at his back and rolled her eyes.

…… The incense outside the Chenji Hall burned until after noon, and Liu Cunmao came out to Yue Qinghuan and said that the princess was awake and asked him to go in and take a look.

The old emperor had already dressed and washed, and was sitting in the house.

Queen Yun also tidied up her delicate appearance, although the two of them lay down last night, they didn't sleep, and they were worried about the body of the baby all night, and they got up from time to time to take a look.

Now that the first moon has woken up late, the couple who have stayed up all night not only do not work, but are relieved and their spirits have become better.

Yue Qinghuan came to the bed, and Chu Yuewan recognized him with sleepy eyes, and whispered, "Master......"

"Your Highness the Princess."

Yue Qinghuan observed her complexion, and roughly knew that her state was still early to recover, "Don't worry, take a good rest." ”

"Master...... Am I too good at causing trouble. ”

Chu Yuewan apologizes, always has problems in the skyscraper, I'm afraid it will affect him.

"The princess is not idle, and those who achieve great things will always encounter obstacles, but they will also turn evil into good fortune."

Yue Qinghuan comforted.

Chu Yuewan smiled and nodded at him.

Yue Qinghuan saw that she was awake, so he recited some scriptures for her and let her recuperate.

After that, he said goodbye to the emperor and empress and returned home.

After returning to Qianying Mountain, Yue Qinghuan did not enter the Sky Tower immediately, but went up from the mountain road to the cave where he used to retreat.

Song Ling learned the news of his return, hurriedly handed over the matter and ran to the entrance of the cave, Yu Linjun stationed nearby and she took a look, there was no time to report and salute, Song Ling had already hurriedly picked up the torch and ran in.

The depths of the cave are cold and damp, and the more you walk, the more eerie and cold you get.

Song Ling has practiced kung fu and can still withstand such cold, but she still feels depressed and uncomfortable when she walks in.

The fire in the cave became brighter after a few detours, and Songling hung the torch in her hand on the wall and knelt down to worship the people inside.

A figure dressed in a thin tulle robe sat in the light from the depths of the cavern, a shadow hidden on his face.

"The princess has just had an accident, and the emperor is a soldier.

How dare he come to the Sky Tower to find this seat? The voice in front made Song Ling shudder, and he hurriedly said: "Back to the Great Master, the apprentice has already driven him back." ”

Yue Qinghuan knew that it was useless to talk about this kind of thing, so he relaxed his brows and continued to meditate.

Song Ling told him the specific situation of Chu Yongji's stay until he left, and handed him the clothes that Chu Yongji had changed and the letter brought by the pigeon.
