"The Great Sage of the Hidden World?"
Xuanyuan Ping couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, the Yanlong Empire has been peaceful for a long time, and the imperial court stopped the talent selection system as early as two hundred years ago. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Back to my father, today Erchen and Xiaoyu were playing in Bengxian Valley, and accidentally found the news of the agency, we were curious and went inside to explore, and found that there was a hole at the bottom of Milong Mountain."
Xuanyuan Ping stood up suddenly when he heard this, and asked in shock: "What?" Don't have a cave? Yi'er, do you mean that there is an underground palace at the bottom of Milong Mountain? ”
"Yes, father, the great sage that the son said is living in the underground palace."
"Huh, ......, is there such a thing?"
Xuanyuan Ping took a long breath, walked out of the tent, and paced back and forth in the hall, this news really shocked him.
Long Yu couldn't help but be very dissatisfied when he saw this, and complained with a small mouth: "Oh, uncle, everyone is starving to death, why are you asking this, it's not fun at all in the dungeon, and the people inside are weird."
"......, haha, it's lonely, I'm hungry for the county lord of Xiaoyu. Yi'er, take Xiaoyu to the harem for dinner, the matter of apprenticeship will be discussed later. ”
"Wow. Father, son, retired. ”
Xuanyuan Yi and the two walked out of the main hall, took a carriage along the broad and flat bluestone avenue, crossed the Yangde Gate, and a large number of buildings came into view, this is the harem. Different from the tranquility of ordinary palaces, the harem of the queen of Zhenbei is very noisy, and the noise of children can be heard ten feet away.
Although these children are not the heirs of Xuanyuan Ping, their origins are also extraordinary.
It was a cold winter, and a loud cry alarmed the palace guards, who hurried to find a baby abandoned outside the palace gates.
The matter was quickly reported, and Xuanyuan Yun decided to adopt the abandoned baby after a little groaning, and posted notices throughout the city, one for his own misgovernance, the second for giving to the people, and the third for informing the parents of the abandoned baby that he had given the name Hanchen to raise the baby and make it a talent.
Xuanyuan Yun did not break his promise, twenty years later, Hanchen was an amazing student in the imperial capital, and was named a scholar by the second emperor. After this incident, the widow outside the palace was rumored to be a beautiful talk, and since then the baby cry has often been heard outside the palace of the king of Zhenbei.
Encountering this, the second generation of Zhenbei King Xuanyuan Cheng had no choice but to set up a school in the palace, where the queen and the palace maids took care of and taught the abandoned baby, and abandoned the baby when he reached the age of nine. This measure was followed by successive successions, and the palace school became the characteristic of the Zhenbei Palace, and the palace guards and palace maids were gradually served by abandoned babies who came back to repay their kindness.
In the tenth generation of Zhenbei King Xuanyuan filial piety period, the imperial capital Taixue was deserted, Xuanyuan filial piety could not bear to abandon the babies to cut off the way out, and felt that the Zhenbei King was not prosperous, and most of the huge palaces were idle, so he opened up the palace and the princess's palace two palace groups to run schools, one for the university, the other for the official school. Since then, the Zhenbei Royal Palace has also become a place of learning, and the queen has also evolved into a nursery teacher.
Xuanyuan Ping's queen is Ji Xinlan, a descendant of Ji Qianlong, the founding general of the Yanlong Empire. As soon as Xuanyuan Yi and Long Yu arrived at the palace gate, they saw two boys standing at the door with their heads down, and they knew without asking that these two people must have been punished.
"Hehe, brother, look at those two unlucky guys again, who are punished by their aunt almost every day!"
"......, Han Jian and Zhong Tang, what mistakes did you two make today?"
Han Jian is an abandoned baby without a surname, so he was given the surname Han, this person is only eight years old, he looks like a tiger, he is naughty and active by nature, he is the most stubborn child in the palace, and it is common to be punished.
Zhongtang's surname is Yan, a rare twin abandoned baby, only six years old this year, handsome and white, smart and stubborn since childhood, and the second troublemaker. However, his brother Yan Zhonghan is simple and honest, although he lacks understanding, he is very diligent and studious, and he is deeply loved by Ji Xinlan.
"Alas, don't mention it, after school yesterday, we went hunting in the mountains, and because we didn't have the weapons we had at hand, we took away the queen mother's ring ruler, and accidentally broke it."
Han Jian looked innocent, and he originally saw that the ring ruler was very powerful, but who expected it to be so useless, and the hare would be broken as soon as he knocked it. If he had known that this would be the result, he would rather carry a bench to hunt than use a ruler.
Yan Zhongtang felt even more aggrieved: "Oh, I'm even more unlucky, not only did I not break Sister Han Xiu's spoon, but I also stoned a fat rabbit to death!" As a result, not only was he not praised, but he was also scolded by Sister Hanxiu, and then he was punished by the queen mother, I was so wronged! ”
"......, you two are really naughty, the queen mother is afraid of hurting us, and she uses a jade ring ruler, how can you use it for hunting? You, the spoon is a food distribution vessel, which is related to the dietary health of hundreds of people in the palace, how can you move it indiscriminately? ”
"Ouch, I said why was the meal late last night, it turned out to be your kid's fault, and he deserved to be punished!"
"Ah, what can I do about this, I really didn't know that the ring ruler was made of jade!"
"Woo, I also know it's wrong, please save me!"
"Alas, forget it, let's go to dinner first, the queen mother has always been fierce and soft-hearted, you two admit your mistakes and ask for forgiveness."
"Hehe, it's best for me to know the wrong mother, Brother Shizi, Zhongtang, let's go eat, I'm hungry!"
"Well, you, well, go eat first."
Xuanyuan Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly and led the three of them to the dining room. At this time, it is the time of dining, the palace still adopts the system of Ding Shi, every moment, up to the king of Zhenbei, down to the palace girls and children, will gather to eat together, the scene is extremely lively.
"Hmph, Yi'er, where did you go this morning? is so stubborn, do you still know the rites of the world? ”
"Oh, aunt, it's Yu'er who is playful, so he pulled his brother out of the palace to play, if you want to punish you, punish Yu'er!"
"Hehe, that's it, since Yu'er intercedes for you, today's matter will be settled. However, as the prince of the vassal king, you must keep in mind the etiquette of the prince, always save yourself and improve yourself, and don't forget the responsibility of serving the country and protecting the people! ”
"Well, the sons remember the teachings of the queen mother, and they dare not forget it for a moment."
"That's fine, Yi'er, Yu'er, you guys take a seat."
Ji Xinlan sat in the dining room, just thirty years old, dressed plainly, without powder, beautiful and dignified as if she was born, and her phoenix eyes were heroic. Because Xuanyuan Ping often receives visiting guests outside, she is mostly in charge of the affairs in the palace, and she is very majestic.
Didn't this just finish punishing the parent-child Xuanyuan Yi, Ji Xinlan's eyes turned, and the phoenix eyes stared at Han Jian and Yan Zhongtang again: "You two naughty boys, your bad nature is difficult to change, can you know what you did wrong at this moment?"
"After returning to his mother, Jian'er knew that he was wrong, and he didn't know that the ring ruler was made of jade, so he lived up to the love of the queen mother.
"Hmph, write down this for the time being, you have to keep in mind today's words, if you dare to be inferior, you will be punished for both crimes!"
"Oh, Erchen doesn't dare anymore!"
"That's fine, take a seat. Tang'er, what about you, do you know what you did wrong? ”
"Woo, the queen mother, the son also knows that he is wrong, he shouldn't play with the food distribution vessel, and he won't dare to do it again. Woohoo......"
"Alas, Tang Erdon't cry, take a seat. Xiu'er, give Zhongtang an extra boiled egg, he is still young, and my punishment is a bit heavy. ”
