Chapter Twenty-Six: Breathing
"The way of husband and wife?" Han Ruzi's first thought was the "way of benevolence and righteousness" that Luo Huanzhang had been talking about, thinking that this was another classic that the emperor must learn, he looked at the palace maid a few times, and said suspiciously: "You are also the master selected by the Queen Mother?" ”
Tong Qing'e smiled and nodded, "It's another kind of master, Your Majesty is about to get married, and the slave maid is here to teach Your Majesty how to ...... Walk the way of husband and wife. ”
Han Ruzi didn't think that this palace maid was like an ordinary master, and after thinking for a while, he finally came to his senses, "Oh, the way of husband and wife, I understand." ”
"Your Majesty understands, then ......" Tong Qing'e also breathed a sigh of relief.
"'My Fair Lady, Gentleman.'" A lady is a gentleman, and righteousness is in the virtuous, not lewd...... The way of husband and wife is the virtue of the concubine that Guo Shi talked about. ”
Tong Qing'e was stunned, so she had to walk up to the emperor, blushing and saying, "The minister is just talking, slave maid...... Slaves...... It is taught by example. ”
Han Ruzi really understood a little bit of the palace maid's intentions this time, and took two steps back vigilantly, remembering the reminder that Yang Feng had made: The queen mother hopes that the emperor can give birth to the prince as soon as possible, so as to be a better puppet at the mercy of others.
"Oh, so you're even more powerful than Master Guo, who did you learn from?" Han Ruzi began to pretend to be confused, with a smile on his face, and walked to the chair and sat down.
Tong Qing'e misunderstood the emperor's words, and hurriedly said: "It was the predecessor Gong'e who taught the slave maid, and the slave maid has never ...... I haven't tried it with anyone else, Your Majesty...... It's the first. ”
"That's not good, the masters are all well-educated, and the disciples don't have a thousand but eight hundred, and you haven't taught anyone, how can you teach me? Forget it. ”
"How can you teach too many people about this kind of thing? The way of husband and wife is in line with the principles of nature, and Your Majesty will understand it if you try it. Tong Qing'e was forced to have no choice, she couldn't care about her shyness, and slowly walked towards the emperor.
Han Ruzi yawned, "I'm sleepy, even if I want to teach, wait for tomorrow." ”
"The Way of Husband and Wife...... It's when you sleep that you're studious. Tong Qing'e sat next to the emperor and grabbed his hand.
Han Ruzi jumped up and ran to the side of the big bed, becoming more and more vigilant in his heart, once he gave birth to the prince, he would not even have the value of a puppet, and he would really have to "retire after success" at that time...... Don't come back or ...... I'm calling someone, Liang An and Zhang Youcai are outside. ”
The emperor felt that he was being persecuted, and Tong Qing'e couldn't help himself, so she got up and said with a smile: "The two of them are very sensible, and they won't come in and disturb Your Majesty." Your Majesty doesn't need to be nervous, it doesn't hurt to try, if Your Majesty doesn't like it, don't try it again in the future. ”
Han Ruzi turned his heart sideways and said loudly: "I don't like it now, you didn't force me, don't come over, I order you to stop." ”
The emperor's order was not obeyed in the first place, and now it is even more ineffective, Tong Qing'e walked to the table with a smile and blew out the candle, "Your Majesty is feeling better?" ”
Han Ruzi didn't feel good at all, there was only one thought in his heart, he must not be tricked, he must not give birth to a prince, he regretted not learning some martial arts from the Meng E brothers and sisters, otherwise he would not be so embarrassed, and he was forced to have nowhere to escape by a palace maid.
"Come here again, my name is the King of the East China Sea." Han Ruzi really had no choice, knowing that the King of the East China Sea would never meddle in his affairs, he still regarded him as a savior.
It was very dark in the room, there was no sound on the other side, Tong Qing'e didn't seem to come any closer, Han Ruzi waited for a while, and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Tong Qing'e was probably also acting on the orders of the Queen Mother, and had no other choice, so he said: "It's better to do this, tomorrow you tell the Queen Mother, just say ...... Let's just say that you have taught me the way of husband and wife, someone asked, I also said so, as long as the two of us are tight-lipped, others can't see the flaws, you won't be punished, how about it? ”
Han Ruzi didn't know how big the loophole of this plan was, and thought that this was the best way, waiting for Tong Qing'e to agree, but there was still no sound on the other side, and Tong Qing'e seemed to disappear with the candlelight.
"Hey, are you still there?" Han Ruzi asked softly, listened for a while, and said to himself, "Did you go to sleep?" ”
As soon as the words fell, an arm stretched out in the dark, Han Ruzi seemed to be stung by a bee, jumped up, took a few steps back, hit the side of the bed, and fell on the bed.......
The hand followed quickly, a finger on his chest, Han Ruzi only felt a turbid breath in his body, unable to speak, and spit out the turbidity after a while, and said in surprise: "It's you?" ”
"Well, it's me." This was Meng E's cold voice.
Han Ruzi was very happy, "Fortunately, you came, you really saved my life." ”
"Nobody wants to kill you."
"You don't understand, what the Queen Mother wants is a baby prince, once I do it, she will get rid of me!"
"Don't tell me this." There was a hint of disgust in Meng E's tone.
"Oh, you don't want to listen to the Queen Mother's bad words, okay, I won't say it. What happened to Tong Qing'e? Han Ruzi didn't understand what Meng E hated.
"I let her go to bed and won't wake up until tomorrow morning."
"How did you do that?"
"A little trick on the rivers and lakes."
"Can you teach me?"
"You can't learn it now, and it's useless to learn it."
Han Ruzi really felt that this trick was very useful, but Meng E didn't want to teach it, so he was no longer reluctant, "Then you will come every night in the future, and let Tong Qing'e go to bed early." ”
"No, I can't get close to Cining Palace until I am on duty, and if I always let her sleep like this, sooner or later it will arouse suspicion."
Han Ruzi was disappointed, "Then you can teach me martial arts, so that I can protect myself." ”
"Do you really want to learn?"
"I want to learn." Han Ruzi originally felt that martial arts were of little use, but Meng Che's skills were very good, according to his own words, he could compete with five well-trained soldiers on the battlefield at most, and he could not compare with a general commanding thousands of troops. Through this night's experience, Han Ruzi changed his opinion, if he wants to control ten steps, he has to start from within ten steps, the avenue taught by Yang Feng and Luo Huanzhang is only useful to the true emperor, and for him now, it is only on paper.
The emperor agreed so simply, but Meng E was silent, and waited for a while before saying, "You must know that this means that you owe me a reward, and when I speak in the future, you must agree." ”
"You can bring it up now."
"No, it's useless to bring it up now, let's talk about it when you really have power, but I can guarantee that it is not a particularly difficult thing, and it must be within the emperor's ability."
Han Ruzi gradually calmed down and was able to think normally again, "Your brothers and sisters helped the Queen Mother to repay the same, right?" But the Queen Mother is already in power - will she refuse to repay you? ”
"Don't guess, I'm not going to give you an answer. Also, it was my own idea to come to you, my brother didn't know about it, don't divulge it in front of him. ”
"Okay."
Meng E was silent for a while, and just when Han Ruzi thought she was gone, Meng E said: "The internal strength of my faction is more complicated, and it is necessary to cultivate both internally and externally......
"What kind of pie are you?" Han Ruzi asked.
"Don't ask questions, just practice according to the method I taught you."
This is a stern master, more than Luo Huanzhang, Han Ruzi hummed heavily.
"Your situation is quite special, and you can't practice the exercises with great fanfare, and there is a simplified set of exercises that are just right for you."
"Isn't the simplified technique weaker?" Han Ruzi couldn't hold back and asked another question.
"Whether you are strong or weak depends on your understanding and hard work, do you have to learn the strongest exercises?"
Han Ruzi wanted to learn martial arts just to have a little self-protection ability when necessary, and he really didn't need to be too strong, so he said, "You're right, go on." ”
"I don't have much time, I'll teach you a little beginner kung fu today, it's easy, as long as you can stick to it."
"I can hold on."
"Okay, I'll teach you how to breathe first."
"Breathe? Everybody knows. ”
"If you want to learn my exercises, don't ask questions."
"Okay, you say."
"Everyone can breathe, but that is the breath of nature, there are two ways to practice internal strength, first reverse the law, and then follow the law after finding the meridians, you try to inhale when you puff out your abdomen, and exhale when you close your abdomen."
This is the opposite of the normal way of breathing, but it is not difficult, Han Ruzi tried twice and did it, and said with a smile: "This is indeed easy." ”
"The difficulty is to persevere, and in the future, you have to practice when you walk, when you sit, and when you sleep."
"Sleep?" Han Ruzi became vigilant, and suddenly thought that Meng E was also a woman, not much older than Tong Qing'e, and she was still the queen mother's subordinate, if she had ulterior motives, Meng E was even more suspicious.
In the dark, a slap was slapped on the emperor's head, "Don't think nonsense, concentrate on practicing." ”
Han Ruzi retracted his suspicions and tried a few more times, "I've learned, how long do I have to practice every day?" ”
"The longer the better, but you don't have to force it."
"Okay, let's continue teaching."
"That's all for today."
"That's it?" Han Ruzi was disappointed.
"The cultivation of internal strength should be gradual and accumulative, and after a few days, when you have made progress, I will pass on your next stage of exercises."
"Okay."
"Also, you have to find a way to let my brother teach you a hundred steps boxing, and the effect is better both inside and outside."
"Isn't the hundred-step boxing technique an ordinary boxing technique?" Han Ruzi couldn't help but ask questions, he still remembered that the attendant Zhang Yanghao used a hundred step boxing, which was said to be a boxing technique used by the soldiers of the Chu army to strengthen their bodies.
"I can't teach you the outer cultivation method of your own sect, you will use it once you learn it, and those who know how to do it will be able to recognize it at a glance, especially my brother. Although the 100-step boxing is ordinary, it is enough for external cultivation, you only need to remember one thing, no matter what others say, you must try to adhere to the method of reverse breathing when practicing boxing. ”
"I remember." Han Ruzi waited for a while, and found that there was no sound on the other side, and Meng E had already left.
"I don't know how long it will take, what will I do tomorrow night?" Han Ruzi sat on the bed in a daze, Yang Feng was not in the capital, Meng E couldn't come over at any time, he really became a loner, and he faintly felt that there seemed to be a monster staring at him in the dark.
