Chapter 22: Tai Chi Grandmaster
Ahem....
"Lord Belle. Are you alright?" a clear valley-like voice accompanied by a coughing sound, resounded in this ancient study.
"I'm fine, you go and bring the medicine."
A pale young man sat on the desk, looking at the book in his hand, and said casually to a girl in palace clothes.
After a while, the girl had already placed a bowl of steaming decoction in front of the young man's desk.
"Lord Belle, let's wait and see. The temperature of the medicinal soup is moderate, so you should drink it first. It's not good when it's cold. The girl stood beside the boy with a graceful demeanor like water, and admonished.
After the boy hummed, he put down the book, picked up the soup bowl, took a sip, and then drank it all with a frown. When the girl saw that she had finished drinking, she took out a jar of candied fruit and handed it to the boy. After a few mouthfuls of candied fruit, the bitterness in the boy's mouth was slightly reduced.
"Ling'er, what time is it?"
After the boy drank the medicine, he asked the girl named Ling'er
"It's just past noon, and it's too late. Are you going to meet the emperor? When the girl saw the time of her inquiry, she guessed what the boy was going to do.
"Well, you go down and rest first, I'll go to see my father after reading the book, and I may not come back for dinner tonight." You don't have to wait. ”
After the boy explained, the girl bowed and retired.
After the girl retired, the whole study seemed even more empty. The young man was still sitting on the desk, holding the thread-bound book that had just been put down in his hand, and although his eyes were fixed on the book, his pupils were empty and deep. The mind is obviously not on the books ....
It has been ten years since Chen Ao came to this plausible Qing Dynasty. I didn't expect to cross over to the Emperor's House this time. He became the ninth prince of the Manchu Dynasty emperor who became unrecognizable after being usurped by Dolgon.
This prince, who has been sick since birth, was crossed by Chen Ao when he was ten years old, and his biological mother was to save his father, who was still a prince, and was injured by the killer sent by other princes to kill him, a cheap father, when he took the heir, and died after giving birth to "him". However, as soon as he was born, the position of the crown prince was not determined, and it fell on his current father. And he is ranked ninth, and nine is the pole. After his emperor Ama ascended the throne, the year name was also Daoguang, but he loved him very much, I don't know if he felt ashamed of his mother or felt that this child wanted him.
If it weren't for the fact that he was born prematurely, he was born weak and sick, and he might have been crowned the crown prince. However, this body also made Chen Ao suffer, let alone practicing martial arts when he first crossed, he couldn't even do ordinary sports. I can only do a stretch occasionally, and the range of action is not too large, and it is not until the past two years that I have recuperated better. And he was watched by an emperor Lao Tzu every day, and he couldn't go out of the palace gate even half a step without permission.
I can only learn literary characters every day, but I have practiced a good brush hand. Especially after getting better in the past two years, I secretly practiced the strength of my wrists, and my calligraphy skills have become more proficient. Those who couldn't teach him calligraphy were all great Confucians, and the stickers he copied were all famous historians. And in ancient times, there were no entertainment facilities, and if you don't find something to do for yourself, you will probably go crazy.
The energy that has passed through these ten years has been supported by the emperor's reward of gold. Otherwise, I don't know how much I lost. It's just that I've been in the palace for ten years, and I'm tired of it, although I can experience the father's love that I can't get in the original time and space. But it's not good to be stuffy in the palace all the time. Before, I couldn't do it to regulate my body. Now that the body has been healed, although I can't practice martial arts, it's time to go out and see the outside world.
"Erchen see Huang Ama" At this moment, Chen Ao was bowing to a middle-aged man.
I saw that the middle-aged man looked kind, and as soon as he saw Chen Ao saluting, he walked up to Chen Ao and helped him up. also said with a concerned face: Xiao Jiu, how many times have I told you, don't salute when there is no foreign minister. You're weak.
After helping Chen Ao up, he turned his head, the gentleness and kindness in his eyes were closed, his eyes became extremely sharp, and he couldn't help but have a momentum of not being angry and arrogant. He instructed the eunuch standing on the side: Why are you still stunned, why don't you go and get a bird's nest for Jiubeile.
"Emperor, no need, I just drank the medicine. I can't drink it for the time being. ”
Chen Ao has been tired of drinking bird's nest or something over the years. I really don't want to drink anymore. So he politely refused
"Since you don't want to drink, forget it. Come, come and read the words that Ama just wrote. Let's love the calligraphy of the Xinjue Luo family, and evaluate it" The emperor smiled teasingly and took Chen Ao's hand and walked to his desk
"Ama said with a smile, how dare Erchen's dog crawl calligraphy everyone." Chen Ao said with a wry smile
The emperor still said with a smile: Don't be too humble, if you were two years ago, of course you weren't everyone, but in the past two years, your calligraphy has improved by leaps and bounds, and you are no longer under Amma. Isn't Amma a master of calligraphy?
Chen Ao..................................
After discussing the calligraphy insights with the thick-skinned Huang Ama, Chen Ao was left to eat a greasy imperial meal in the morning. For Chen Ao, the imperial meal is not as good as a bowl of hot noodle soup, everything has to be tested for poison, and when the dishes come up, they are almost cold, and there is no creativity, and they are all those dishes over and over.
"Your Majesty, it's time to rest."
After Chen Ao finished his meal with his Emperor Ama, he splashed ink for a while.
The eunuch who was following the emperor reminded him.
"Well, got it. I'll talk about it when I'm done copying this sticker. "Emperor Daoguang should arrive
After a while, I finally stopped writing. Daoguang also instructed Chen Ao: Chengao, you have also been delayed with me for a day, although your body is good, don't be too tired, you should also go and rest first. You don't have to come over tomorrow morning to say goodbye.
I almost forgot to mention it, Chen Ao's current name is: Aixin Jueluo. Pride.
Chen Ao hesitated, but still made up his mind to kneel down to him, the emperor Laozi, and said: "Emperor Ama, the son has something to ask you."
Daoguang helped Chen Ao up: Xiao Jiu, just tell Ama what you want, don't kneel down at every turn. You don't know that your body is just a little better, and the ground is cold, not to mention that the imperial doctor said that you can't get cold.
Chen Ao also stood up, and said that the father in front of him was not a real father, but he gave him real fatherly love, and he was willing to kneel for him, but after all, he was a modern person, and he was still a little resistant to kneeling.
"Amma, I want to move out and live in my Baylor Mansion," Chen Ao said the purpose bluntly.
"Why do you suddenly want to go out of the palace, annoyed Amma?" Daoguang was also stunned, and only then replied half-jokingly
"Huang Ama, Erchen has been living in the palace for twenty years, I think it's time to be independent, I have lived in the palace like a bird in a cage for so many years. In addition to a few private visits with you in the past two years. He never went out again, and Erchen wanted to go out and see the world by himself, instead of being forever attached to Amma's wings, and sooner or later the eagle would have to spread its wings and fly high. What's more, all the adult elder brothers have moved out, and I am the only one in the palace who is twenty years old and still staying in the elder brother's house" Chen Ao said to Daoguang with an impassioned voice, and his tone weakened unconsciously.
Emperor Daoguang was silent for a while, and then said with a reluctant face: Okay, since you want to go out to open a mansion and build a tooth. Amma perfects you. In two days, I will arrange the manpower of your mansion and then issue an order. Go and rest first!
Seeing that he had agreed to the request, Chen Ao was excited, and just wanted to kneel down to thank him, but was stopped by Daoguang, who was paying attention to him. Then he was preached again, and then he was released back to his brother's office.
Daoguang said that it would be two days, but Chen Ao waited for half a month before he was ordered to move out of the elder brother's office. I went outside to open a house. He was also named the king of the county. The title is the king of Chengjun. After Chen Ao went to the imperial study to thank him, he was dragged by Daoguang for a long time before he took the palace maid named Ling'er out of the palace under the protection of a bunch of guards.
Chen Ao had just left the imperial study, and Daoguang called the imperial doctor who was in charge of Chen Ao, and asked with a serious and sad face: Is there really no way to treat the illness of the Nine Emperor Princes?
The imperial doctor's face was nervous, and he replied with a trembling look: Back to the emperor, Brother Jiu's illness is a congenital deficiency brought about by beating his mother's womb, and it is difficult to treat. Now is the time when the prince is the strongest in health, and there is no big problem, but even if he is afraid that he will not be able to pass the threshold of thirty years old.
Daoguang's face changed for a while, but he was not too shocked, obviously not the first time he had heard such an answer. After a slight pause, he sighed, and said softly as if asking and talking to himself: Is there really no way? Couldn't I save my son's life?
The imperial doctor is also a profession with sharp ears, otherwise some dying people can't hear what they can't hear, wouldn't it be a mistake. The imperial doctor obviously also heard Daoguang's words, and replied: "Your Majesty, it's not that there is no way at all, but ......
As soon as Daoguang heard that there was a way, he immediately opened his mouth and asked: But what, say it quickly.
The imperial doctor didn't dare to sell Guan Zi anymore and said: However, I don't know if this method has any effect, but Wei Chen himself speculated. Wechen is not completely sure.
If you say it, it won't work. I don't blame you. If you can really cure the emperor. I have a lot of rewards.
Seeing that the emperor would not punish him, the imperial doctor was relieved, and he did not immediately say how to heal. Instead, the story was told: Last month, Duan Wang Ye went hunting and was injured, so he asked Weichen to go for treatment. Wei Chen heard Duan Wang Ye talk about the person who injured him, and it seemed that he used Tai Chi.
Daoguang interrupted the story of the imperial doctor impatiently: To get to the point, don't talk to me about these things that you don't have.
"The way to heal the prince is in this Tai Chi. This Taijiquan Weichen had heard of in the early years, and it was a boxing method for self-cultivation. If the prince learns, he can slowly recuperate his body. Perhaps it can cure the congenital deficiency in one fell swoop. It's just that the people who know this kung fu now disappeared a few decades ago and were no longer born. I'm afraid it's not easy to find" The imperial doctor saw that Emperor Daoguang was anxious, and he didn't dare to make a long speech, so he hurriedly made a long story short.
"Boxing? It's not that you don't know the prince's body, and it's okay to move a little bigger. Are you sure that practicing boxing will not aggravate the prince's condition? Daoguang asked incredulously
"The emperor doesn't know, this Taijiquan, I heard that the moves are slow, and the movements are not intense. And a small amount of exercise is also good for the prince's condition," the imperial doctor quickly explained
After thinking about it for a while, Daoguang didn't know whether to agree or not, so he waved his hand: You go down first, and I will think about it again.
"Come on, go to King Xuanduan to meet you" After thinking for a while, Daoguang decided to ask King Duan first before making plans.
And the first thing Chen Ao did after leaving the palace was similar to his emperor Lao Tzu, but he first searched for Chen Jiagou's whereabouts, and he also paid attention to Tai Chi. Who told him to travel through the world of Tai Chi Grandmaster. What do you learn without learning Tai Chi?
