In another month, Xuan Jing will be twelve years old. In the Jin Dynasty, the www.biquge.info was a sign that a boy was beginning to grow up, and Xuanjing was also the grandson of the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, and the eldest son of the emperor, Prince Cheng.

It has been more than 380 years since the Jin Kingdom was founded in the three states of Middle Earth. It is the fifteenth emperor who has passed down to the current emperor. Although the emperor has been on the throne for forty years, it is far less than the prosperous era of Zhongzhou created by his grandfather, Emperor Wu of Jin, and all countries have come to the dynasty. But it is also considered that the wind and rain are smooth, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the four seas are safe, and the border has been quiet for many years.

In fact, since he was a child, Xuan Jing has always had two things that he didn't understand. No matter how much he begged his father to ask, Prince Cheng always refused to tell him.

The first thing is that Xuan Jing has not seen his mother since he was sensible. When the prince was still in infancy, King Cheng picked him up from outside and announced to everyone that this was his son of Prince Cheng. The princess of Prince Cheng is the granddaughter of Xu Gelao, a scholar of the dynasty. The princess married into Prince Cheng's mansion for many years, but she has never been able to give birth to a son and a half daughter to Prince Cheng. As for who Xuan Jing's biological mother is, no one knows.

As everyone knows, Prince Cheng has always been respectful and self-controlled, and he is not a woman. Except for the princess's main room, there is no side room. This is also an interesting story in the temples of the Jin Dynasty. Many courtiers who have good things talk about it in private, and most of them think that they are afraid of the king, or they have hidden diseases. Prince Cheng himself is all shy about this kind of rumor, but fortunately, no one in the world dares to chew his tongue in front of him.

Xuan Jing always asked his father who his mother was. Xuanbu always touched Xuanjing's little brain lovingly, only saying that Xuanjing's biological mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to him, but he didn't say much about the various stories of Shizi's mother before her death. But Princess Xu, just because she has no children under her knees, treats Xuanjing as if she was her own, or she is a little more doting than ordinary people for their children.

The second thing is the tattoo on Xuan Jing's own body. Xuan Jing has been tattooed on his back since he was a child, with a colorful tiger tattoo, standing on the top of the mountain, majestic and majestic. Others said that they should not be forced to look at it.

Xuanjing once asked his father, Prince Cheng Xuanbu, and Xuanbu only lightly explained that Xuanjing's mother stabbed him on his body when he was a child, and he didn't say anything else, but Xuanjing had seen it in a book of the master in the house, and there was a country called Rouran in Huangzhou, which used the tiger as a totem.

Unlike other children, Xuan Jing usually wakes up very early in the morning. The maid on duty naturally knew Xiao Shizi's habits, and was ready to stop early.

Although Xuan Jing has a noble status, he is very polite to several maids. This depends on the princess's daily teaching, no matter whether the other party is high or low, they must treat each other with courtesy, so as to show the quality of the noble. A delicate meal was already prepared in the kitchen, and Xuan Jing ate a few bites casually and was done

Xuanjing was served by the maids and had breakfast. According to Lizhi, I have to go to my parents to say goodbye. In Prince Cheng's mansion, Xuanjing lived in Hongwenyuan, and the princess lived in Qingyiyuan. King Cheng goes out early and returns late every day, often does not sleep with the princess, and rests in another courtyard by himself. Xuanjing himself rarely saw his father, but Prince Cheng occasionally had leisure time to go to Xuanjing to teach some homework and give him some martial arts.

Zhongzhou has entered a cold winter, and the capital city of Diji has been snowing heavily for several days, of course, the prince of Cheng's mansion must not worry about the cold and warm weather. Wrapped in a heavy robe, it is also a beautiful thing to enjoy the snow in the garden of your own home.

This morning, Xuan Jing did not let the maid accompany him, and went to greet his mother Princess Xu alone.

Prince Cheng is the eldest son of the Son of Heaven, who fought in all directions in his early years, and now leads hundreds of officials in the court, which can be described as the pillar of the imperial court, and the layout of the palace is naturally much higher than that of other official palaces.

In addition, Xuan Jing had the heart to enjoy the snow scene, so he walked for a while without hurrying before arriving at the princess's Qingyi Courtyard. When the subordinates saw the prince coming to ask for peace, naturally no one dared to delay, and hurriedly sent someone to report to the princess, and they hugged the prince into the courtyard.

"Son-in-law Xuanjing greets his mother!" As soon as Xuan Jing entered the door, he bowed to a **** in the house. Although the princess is over forty years old, she was born in the family of an official eunuch, although she is only dressed up slightly, and she does not see any expensive clothes on her body, but she was born with a kind and beautiful face, elegant manners, and a sense of admiration.

"Jing'er, get up" Princess Cheng smiled, and hurriedly Fu Xuanjing got up, "Have you eaten it in the morning, my mother has freshly steamed walnut crisp here, eat a few more pieces while it's hot!" ”

"There is Lao's mother worried, Jing'er has already eaten." Xuan Jing got up and replied.

"Then sit down and eat some more, it's all your favorite food." The princess is like a mother in the world, and she always doesn't think her children eat too much.

Xuan Jing naturally knew the temper of the concubine, and he did not shirk. Sitting on a chair, I picked out a few delicious snacks and ate them. The princess looked at it and rejoiced in her heart, and beckoned her subordinates to pay tribute to the Dianguo country, and the high-quality lychee honey was mixed with warm water and brought to the prince.

"Jing'er eat slowly and drink saliva." The princess's eyes were full of love.

Xuanjing stuffed a snack in his mouth, and could only answer with "um, ah" in his mouth, and swallowed it reluctantly after taking a sip of **** before he spoke: "Mother, I heard Uncle Yu say that on the tenth day of the first month of this month, the envoy of Yingzhou Dongyi Kingdom is going to come to worship?" ”

Yu Bo was the steward of the palace, and in his early years, he followed King Cheng into battle to kill the enemy, and was a deputy general in the army. Originally, King Cheng was ready to rely on Yu Bo's military exploits to get him a good background in the army. But Yu Bo insisted on not accepting it, and had to stay by King Cheng's side, but in the end he couldn't, so he had to wronged Yu Bo to be a housekeeper in the palace.

"You are well-informed, I just heard about it, it is said that the king of Dongyi got a treasure and sent a messenger to pay tribute to us, as if he also wanted to ask the saint for marriage and form an alliance between the two sides." Although the princess was a little surprised how Xuan Jing cared about these things, she didn't ask the prince. When the child is older, as a mother, she doesn't ask if she can, and whose child doesn't have her own concern.

Xuanjing did not continue to inquire about the Dongyi envoy's entry into Beijing, but sat with the princess for a while, and then got up to ask for his resignation, saying that the snow scene in winter was very good, and he wanted to enjoy the snow alone in the mansion. The princess knew that Xuan Jing was weak and cold, so she hurriedly asked her subordinates to take another mink cloak to put on the prince, and then watched Xuan Jing leave alone.

Fanluo Lake in the palace has been frozen, and a thick layer of snow has accumulated on the lake. Xuan Jing jumped directly onto the ice and walked straight to the rockery in the center of the lake. This rockery is in the summer, and it was originally a small island in the middle of the lake for people to take a boat tour. Although it is an embellishment arrangement, it also has a bit of majestic momentum, and there are more circuitous passages in the rockery, winding and twisting. It's just that everyone in the palace is used to seeing it on weekdays, but few people really approach.

Xuan Jing arrived in front of the rockery and looked left and right at no one. I walked along the passage in the rockery, turned a few corners, but came to a dead end. Stretching out his fingers, he stretched out his hand on the rockery stone wall in turn and counted them, and the stone wall in front of him slowly sank, revealing a stone step passage.

Xuan Jing lowered his head and walked down the stone steps. After just a few steps, the stone wall behind him slowly rose, and the passage was dark. Although the stone steps are long and winding, and you can't see your fingers, Xuan Jing seems to be very familiar with the road. Without stopping at all, he circled all the way until he reached a narrow stone chamber.

Although there is no light in this stone room, if one approaches the wall to stare closely or reach out to caress it, one can see that the wall is covered with patterned stone carvings, which seem to be some kind of secret rune, but they do not know what they are used for.

"Grandpa, I've come to see you." Xuan Jing said into the darkness.

"You're here." An old and deep voice came from the dark stone chamber. The owner of the voice sat cross-legged in the darkness of the room like a black mist.

Xuan Jing was playing in the lake when he was eight years old, and by chance, he discovered this secret in the palace. More than four years have passed since I walked in here by mistake. The old man in the house never said who he was, and Xuan Jing never heard anyone in the house say that there was such a dark room.

When the old man saw Xuan Jing for the first time, he didn't seem surprised, but simply understood Xuan Jing's life experience, so he asked Xuan Jing if he would like to come to see him from time to time, and told Xuan Jing not to tell anyone about this secret room, including King Cheng and the princess.

Xuan Jing has been abiding by this rule in the past few years, and every few days, he always takes time to sneak over to see this mysterious old man when everyone in the mansion is not paying attention.

Every time he comes, the old man will always tell Xuan Jing some historical things on the mainland, and also teach Xuan Jing some martial arts mental formulas, the mental methods taught by the old man are profound and mysterious, but the voice from his mouth like a chant seems to have a kind of shocking magic, straight into Xuan Jing's mind, printed clearly.

Xuan Jing slowly learned from the old man's mouth that this inconspicuous secret room was actually carefully arranged by the master of secret arts, and the runes all over the stone wall were blessed by the secret master of the Xi nationality who lived in the north of Jizhou, and it was specially used to imprison prisoners.

In one corner of the stone room, there are beds, stools, tables and chairs, and a small spring, which flows all year round. There is a small hole in the top of the stone chamber, which can not only ventilate into the room, but also the person who guards the prison cell also drops a food box from this hole every day to bring food to the old man.

As usual, the old man sat cross-legged on the ground and taught Xuan Jing the mental method. Xuan Jing knelt on the ground like a student and listened carefully. The old man and the young did not have any extra greetings, and after more than an hour, after the old man finished teaching, Xuan Jing knelt on the ground and saluted again.

The old man glanced at Xuan Jing who was kneeling on the ground, "Let's stop here today, you can comprehend my 'Heart Burning Technique' very quickly, but you are still young, and many mystical methods cannot be practiced yet, just keep in mind that there will be a day of great success, you should go back early, it will cause people to be suspicious if you stay for a long time." ”

"Yes, Grandpa!" Xuan Jing kowtowed, then slowly got up, bowed and exited the stone room, before turning around and stepping on the stone steps to leave.

……

Although Xuanjing is the prince of the Jin Kingdom, he has no smuggling spirit, firstly, Prince Cheng himself upholds his integrity, and secondly, Princess Xu was born in a scholarly family, and she teaches Xuanjing well.

However, people in this world love to pick up some soft persimmons to pinch, although Xuanjing has a respected status in Prince Cheng's mansion, but usually this little master has no temper, so there are a few people in the palace who don't open their eyes, and they feel that this little man is weak and can be bullied.

Of course, they didn't dare to do anything to Xuan Jing directly, but in the face of Xuan Jing's several personal rings in the Hongwen Academy, there was not so much politeness.

Xuan Jing just returned to his Hongwen Courtyard from the secret room at the bottom of the lake, he heard a burst of sobbing sounds, Xuan Jing felt strange in his heart, he had never been in the habit of bullying his subordinates, and several maids around him were also well-read and gentle girls, did they have any disputes with each other today, and who was bullied by anything?

When he entered the door, he asked Xiaoque, the girl who greeted him, "Sister Xiaoque, who is crying in Hongwen Courtyard, why are you crying?" ”

Xiao Que lowered his body, and hurriedly saluted: "Back to His Royal Highness, it was Sister Qiu who was crying in the room, the reason ......" said with a look of embarrassment, as if he was worried.

Xuan Jing has a good temper, but his brain is not lacking strings, and when he saw Xiao Que's appearance, he already understood a little bit in his heart, and asked at the moment: "Has Mother Feng been here?" ”

Xiao Que was taken aback, she didn't know how Shizi guessed, but she didn't dare to deceive Xuanjing, and said in a low voice: "Back to His Royal Highness, Mother Feng came to Hongwen Academy in the morning, Sister Qiu and Mother Feng quarreled a few words, Mother Feng beat Sister Qiu, and scolded a lot of ugly words, saying...... said that Sister Qiu stole her son's money, and Sister Qiu was aggrieved, so she secretly cried in the room, but she didn't want to quarrel with the master......"

Xuan Jing waved his hand, signaling that Xiao Que didn't have to explain, Xuan Jing already understood in his heart that Sister Qiu was actually not Xuan Jing's personal maid ring, just a rough girl in the kitchen of Hongwen Academy, she was sold into the palace by her parents since she was a child, and the housekeeper Yu Cheng looked at her pitiful, although her appearance was not good, but she was clever and well-behaved, so she was arranged to be in Hongwen Yuan and helped in the kitchen.

In the past few years, Xiaoqiu has been living and raising well in the palace, and she has even looked a little good, although she is still working as a maid in the kitchen, but many small maids in the mansion like to secretly find Xiaoqiu to get close to her when there is nothing to do.

This Feng's mother's son is named Li Bao'er, almost thirty years old this year, her mother-in-law just died a few years ago, and now Li Bao'er is also in Hongwen Academy, it is the chef in charge of the kitchen, who comes and goes, and also thinks about Xiaoqiu in her heart, but Xiaoqiu thinks that Li Baoer is vulgar, and she doesn't want this family business, Li Bao'er can't help but love Xiaoqiu seven points and hate three points, but because she is also on an errand in Hongwen Academy, it is not good to force Xiaoqiu directly to comply, so she let her mother Feng mother come to embarrass Xiaoqiu every once in a while.

Mother Feng can be said to be the old man of the palace, but the housekeeper Yu Cheng's wife is a relative, usually Prince Cheng and Princess Xu are not very in charge of family affairs, and the big and small matters of the mansion are basically handed over to Yu Cheng to take care of, so in the palace, Yu Cheng is the number one celebrity, this Feng's mother is naturally a dog and a person, and she is becoming more and more arrogant, the so-called slave bully, Feng's mother has come to Hongwen Academy many times to find trouble with Xiaoqiu for her son's marriage.

Xuanjing didn't want to embarrass Feng's mother at first, and thought that she was also for her own son, but then Feng's mother did a little too much, and Xuanjing also reprimanded her face to face.

Xuanjing sent someone to call the housekeeper Yu Cheng, and only then persuaded Feng's mother to go out, I thought she would restrain her, who knew that Feng's mother since then, not only did not repent, but intensified, and now she actually started to fight people, and wronged Xiaoqiu for stealing Li Bao'er's money, which is really hateful!

Xiao Que saw that Xuanjing's face was not good, and his heart was also uneasy, so he stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness, are you going to comfort Sister Xiaoqiu for a few words?" ”

The whole of Hongwen Academy is very respectful of Xuanjing's master, usually people have some things, Xuanjing has to personally ask, lack of money to give money, lack of people to give people, there is no master at all, today Xiaoqiu was wronged, according to usual, Xuanjing must ask clearly, comfort.

Who knew that Xuan Jing said: "No need, Xiao Que, you call a little guy to go and find Mother Feng, I have to end this matter today, I used to be afraid of some feelings, it is not easy to intervene, who knows that these people are really shameless things!" ”

Xiao Que saw that the master was angry, and he was also scared in his heart, but Xiao Que knew in his heart that although this little master was usually peaceful, he wanted to start a fire, which was really amazing!

At the moment, he hurriedly sent a little maid to pass on Feng's mother to come, who knew that after a stick of incense, the little maid came back with a red face, saying that Feng's mother not only came, but also slapped the little maid and said some ugly words.

Xuan Jing glanced at the little guy, asked Xiao Que to take out his purse, rewarded some money, and personally comforted a few words, and gave the little guy a few days off to let him recuperate.

At this time, Xuan Jing squinted his eyes and didn't say a word, but Xiao Que knew that as long as his master squinted, then there would definitely be someone in this mansion who would be unlucky.

Sure enough, Xuan Jing took off the jade plate on his belt and handed it to Xiao Que and said, "Sister Xiao Que, you send someone to the palace barracks of the palace again, hold my prince jade card, and transfer four government soldiers to listen to the messenger!" ”

According to the laws of the Jin Kingdom, even if it is the prince's own soldiers, the transfer must be recorded on the case record of the military department, of course, Xuanjing's jade plate was given by the emperor himself, and it is equipped with a treasure book gold seal, which can completely mobilize the prince's soldiers.

However, at the time of a cup of tea, the four pro-soldiers were in place, and it was the deputy captain of the pro-soldier team who personally brought people here, you must know that Xuanjing is not only in the palace of Prince Cheng, but also in the entire Jin Kingdom, is respected in status, this prince is usually peaceful, and today he actually mobilized the pro-soldiers in person, and the pro-soldier team did not dare to slack off, and the deputy captain personally led the team to see what happened.

Xuan Jing saw that the pro-soldiers were coming, nodded slightly, and gave Xiao Que a look, Xiao Que hurriedly took out his purse, ordered five taels of silver and four pieces, and distributed them to the four pro-soldiers, and took out a silver ticket with ten taels of silver and stuffed it into the hands of the deputy captain.

All the relatives and soldiers were shocked, and sighed that this prince made a bold move, and this mere reward would be worth his salary for several months!

I only heard Xuan Jing say lightly: "A few big brothers, I lost a night pearl given by the emperor's grandfather in the Hongwen Academy, and now after investigation, I learned that Li Bao'er in the kitchen stole it, this evil slave usually doesn't check much, who knows that today even dare to take the things given by the emperor, I am a little girl in the Hongwen Academy, and they are not good at punishing evil slaves, and they are not good at it, and they also ask a few big brothers to help!" ”

Several pro-soldiers took the benefits, and they were all happy in their hearts, where did they care if Li Bao'er stole the beads given by the emperor, as long as Xuan Jing was happy, let them ask Li Bao'er for his legs, and what was presented would definitely not be a single leg!

The deputy captain bowed and said: "Your Royal Highness, please rest assured, such a trivial matter, the brothers will definitely do it to the satisfaction of His Highness, stealing the things given by the emperor, and killing him is not wronged!" ”

Xuan Jing nodded slightly, got up and took out something from his sleeve, stuffed it in the hand of the deputy captain, and whispered: "Just don't kill people!" ”

The deputy captain looked down and saw that what Xuan Jing gave him was a crystal clear night pearl, and he suddenly understood in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh, this Li Bao'er really provoked anyone, and if he had to provoke this master, was it really a long life? For the sake of a daughter-in-law, let his mother come forward to pester other girls, and now it has caused His Royal Highness the Prince to be angry, I am afraid that Mother Feng and Li Bao'er's mother and son will not escape this time!

immediately took four of his subordinates and ran to Li Bao'er's room like a hungry tiger!

Mother Feng was proud of her methods today in the room, thinking that she had taught Xiaoqiu a lesson to the unfamiliar slut, and gave Xiao Shizi a dismount, who would dare not look at their mother and son's face in this mansion in the future.

Who knew that his door was slammed open, and Feng's mother saw that it was Li Bao'er's apprentice Xiaoshun, Feng's mother couldn't help scolding: "Xiaoshunzi, you short-lived little ghost, come in like this, do you want to scare me to death?" ”

Xiao Shunzi stammered, "Mother Feng...... Mama Feng...... Oh no, the master was arrested by the pro-soldiers in the house, they said that the master stole the prince's royal night pearl, and now it is searched in the master's room, and the stolen goods are seized, and the pro-soldiers don't ask about the indiscriminate, and the master is beaten well, and the small one looks at the situation is not right, so he hurriedly sneaked out to report to your old man! ”

Feng's mother couldn't help but be shocked when she heard that something had happened to her son, stealing the things given by the emperor, this is not a small crime, but since the thing has been found, there is no loss, with her old face, maybe her son can suffer less flesh and skin.

At that moment, Feng's mother hurriedly tidied up her appearance, and said to Xiaoshun: "You hurry up and show me the way, let's hurry up to Hongwen Academy!" ”

At this time, Feng's mother forgot that when Xuanjing invited her just now, she didn't come, and now Xuanjing ignored her, but she hurriedly ran to Hongwen Academy.
