Since Chu Xuan insisted on declining the gift from the emperor, Su Haochen and Dong Zhiyuan did not insist anymore, anyway, the other party had already promised to enter the palace as a guard, and the mission of the two was completed.

Zhen Rumeng on the side, complained about Chu Xuan in his heart. Giving himself to Chu Xuan as a gift, this is the task personally assigned by Emperor Chu Mo, firstly, he can use his beauty to firmly tie the other party and make it available to Chu Mo, and secondly, he can also take the opportunity to find out the identity and background of the other party, because Chu Mo has always wanted to know the bottom of things. Third, Zhen Rumeng herself also knows that her talent is not outstanding, and there will probably not be much room for improvement in her cultivation in this life, and Chu Xuan has passed the punishment of heaven at a young age, such a young hero is worthy of her lifelong entrustment. But she would never have thought that Chu Xuan would reject her in public.

What a stinky boy with a temper, the old lady will eat you! Looking at Chu Xuan, who turned around and left, and didn't know how to look at him, Zhen Rumeng said secretly in his heart.

...

Chu Xuan returned to the mansion, and a few eunuchs came from the palace that day, in addition to bringing a copy of the emperor's holy decree and ordering him to enter the palace on duty on the same day, he also brought three boxes of gold, two boxes of superb elixir, and several sets of official clothes and armor worn by the palace guards, with a waist knife of average quality but exquisite workmanship.

After sending off the eunuch who delivered the decree, Chu Xuan changed into the armor he was going to wear tomorrow, and walked from the bedroom to the front of the hall with his head held high.

"Childe wears this military uniform, he is really majestic and majestic!"

Seeing Chu Xuan change his clothes and come out, Leng Er hurriedly praised him.

As a slave maid, it was his own duty to change his master's clothes, but his own son, I don't know if he was shy or for some reason, he didn't agree to help him change his clothes when he was killed. This made Leng Er's heart feel both happy and distressed, happy that Gongzi was not a pampered child, but what he was worried about was what he should do to be closer to him?

The rest of the servants of the Chu Mansion saw that Leng Er was so good at talking, and they immediately chimed in. Among the group of people, only Su Xintang, who was sitting on a chair, picked up the fruits on the table to eat by himself, and did not say a word.

Leng Er saw it in his eyes, and his heart was very unhappy.

In the past few days that Su Xintang has been in Chu Mansion, she has known the master-apprentice relationship between the other party and Chu Xuan, and she also understands that the other party's identity is more noble than herself. At first, she was a little worried, and even felt inferior to herself as a slave. But later, she saw that Chu Xuan seemed to be deliberately avoiding Su Xintang, and it seemed that Gongzi didn't like her. At this time, she put her mind at ease and treated Su Xintang as a guest in the house, and she was no longer a competitor.

However, Su Xintang herself doesn't seem to have this awareness, she simply regards the Chu Mansion as the Su family, not only calling the subordinates in the mansion at will, and entering and leaving the Chu Mansion at will, but if there is anything delicious and fun in the mansion, she will be the first to enjoy it.

Leng Er was very troubled in her heart, but because of Chu Xuan's connivance with Su Xintang, she could only endure it and not speak.

After everyone's flattery was over, Su Xintang finally spoke.

"Lin Xuan, if you enter the palace tomorrow to be on duty, then what should I do? ”

Since Chu Xuan took out the book of peeping into the sky and practiced with her, the relationship between the two has become more and more familiar. Su Xintang still called him master in a regular manner at first, but later found that Chu Xuan had not understood the mantra of the book of heaven in many places, so she lost her previous respect, and slowly changed her mouth to call the other party's real name. Of course, she didn't know that Chu Xuan was not originally surnamed Lin.

Chu Xuan pretended to be angry and reprimanded: "Dead girl, how many times have you said that you call me Master! Have you forgotten who knelt down in front of me in vain and wanted to worship me as a teacher?"

Although Chu Xuan repeatedly emphasized the master-apprentice relationship between the two, Su Xintang always did not change his words, and over time, Chu Xuan was almost too lazy to talk about her.

"Okay, okay, Master Lin, the apprentice knows his mistake. "In front of so many people, Su Xintang still gave Chu Xuan face.

Chu Xuan said, "It's pretty much the same. By the way, you've been learning the mental method for so long, and the strength of your spiritual veins should be much better than before, right?"

"Well, yes, not only has the spiritual vein improved compared to before, but the spiritual sea has also broadened a lot, and I have recently reached the bottleneck period, and I am about to be promoted. ”

Su Xintang nodded, speaking of this, she suddenly looked at Chu Xuan with gratitude, and said sincerely: "Xintang is really grateful to Master, without Master's help, Xintang may not have a chance to advance in this life." ”

"Uh...... It's okay, it's okay. ”

Chu Xuan secretly said in his heart, this dead girl, why is she eccentric for a while, and serious for a while?

After a pause, he continued: "In the future, I will go to the Forbidden Palace every day to be on duty, and I may not have much time to teach you the mental method, so let's do it, I will copy the content of the mental method to you as it is." In the future, if I am not here, you can also bring it back to cultivate by yourself, but I still say the same thing, and I must not spread it!"

"What do you mean, you don't want to drive me away, do you?" That is, I won't be able to live here anymore?" Su Xintang said in surprise.

Chu Xuan nodded, "I went to see your father today, and I have already told him, tomorrow I will go to the palace on an errand, and he will send someone to pick you up." ”

Leng Er on the side heard this, not to mention how happy he was in his heart, this annoying ghost surnamed Su was finally leaving Su Mansion.

"You, why are you like this, you haven't even consulted me. Su Xintang said angrily.

Chu Xuan was speechless for a while, and said in his heart, is this the master's home, okay? Not to mention that you girl has been eating and drinking here for so many days, and you haven't asked your father to compensate the master for the cost of treating your illness, it is already benevolent and righteous.

"Miss Suer, no, apprentice. Chu Xuan said earnestly: "Although you don't live here with the master for the time being, we are still masters and apprentices after all, and there is a chance to meet in the future." ”

"Who, who wants to meet you......" Su Xintang's face turned red, "People just feel that they are used to living here, and they feel good, and they are a little reluctant to leave." ”

Chu Xuan was speechless again.

...

On the second day, Chu Xuan changed into the official clothes of the guards, rode a fast horse, and came to the front gate of the imperial city on time.

A few small yellow men have received the emperor's will, and they are already waiting for him there. When Chu Xuan arrived, the little yellow men were afraid that he would get lost, so they led him into the imperial city.

To be honest, if there weren't a few little eunuchs leading the way in front, Chu Xuan really didn't know how to go on the road to the imperial city. In the past, when he was still the crown prince, he lived in his east palace every day, almost without leaving the house. Later, his father died, and he was robbed of the throne by his imperial uncle before he could ascend the throne, so he didn't have much impression in his mind of what the imperial city outside the East Palace looked like.

The imperial city of Zhou is really not small, except for some nobles chartered by the emperor, who have the right to ride horses in the imperial city, and ordinary people can only walk to enter the imperial city.

Chu Xuan was just a small guard, naturally he was not qualified to ride a horse, so he had to follow Xiao Huangmen step by step, and finally came to a majestic hall.

Chu Xuan's imperial uncle, the current Emperor of the Great Zhou, Chu Mo, was waiting for his arrival in the palace.
