The snow was still falling in the capital, and the hour had not yet reached the end of the day, and there were still pedestrians on the streets, so it had not accumulated for the time being.

The palace was cleaned, and the snow was not heavy, and the roads along the way were even cleaner.

In the imperial study, His Majesty the Emperor flipped through some books in his spare time to read, and when he was elegant, he thought about writing and cultivating it.

There was someone beside her, helping to grind, it was a woman, who looked much younger, her skin was like clotted fat, crystal clear, more pure and flawless than the whitest mutton fat jade, softer and more crystalline than the mildest nephrite, more delicate and vivid than the most delicate petals, and more beautiful and watery than the clearest crystal.

It can be described as beautiful as a fairy, and it is generous.

The women who appeared in the palace were naturally the only ones who could accompany His Majesty the Emperor.

And the woman in front of her has an extraordinary status, she is the master of the harem, the queen mother of the dynasty, and the most favored person of His Majesty the Emperor.

Needless to say, the noble temperament is self-explanatory, the most important thing is that it is gentle and dignified, and it will not give people a feeling of being in a high position and extremely difficult to get along with.

The so-called mother's temperament in the world is vividly reflected in the queen's mother.

His Majesty the Emperor likes calligraphy and painting, and because of his love for the house and Wu, the queen likes to grind very much.

Grinding this kind of boring thing, I'm afraid no one will like it, and the queen doesn't really like it, but accompanying His Majesty the Emperor, she likes it no matter what she does.

A poem was presented on paper, and His Majesty the Emperor put his arm around the shoulders of the Empress and said with a smile: "How is my handwriting?"

The queen mother was very birdy, snuggled in the arms of His Majesty the Emperor, a pair of soft eyes fell on the paper, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's words should be good words." ”

His Majesty the Emperor was really happy, and couldn't help but hold the Empress Mother tightly in his arms.

Although the queen mother was a little shy, Yu Guang couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when she saw the copybook on the bookcase again, because His Majesty the Emperor's handwriting was really not very good.

There is still a big difference between liking books and really being able to write, but who makes the family an emperor, and a pillow person, can't lose the face of his sweetheart.

Therefore, the queen mother is often tormented by the condemnation of conscience.

But when she saw His Majesty the Emperor's heartfelt happiness, the Empress felt that this little thing was really insignificant.

At this time, an attendant walked in quickly with his head down, and reported: "Your Majesty, Dean Xue of the Sword Academy of the Palace asks to see you." ”

The queen mother gently broke free from the arms of His Majesty the Emperor, sat upright on the dragon seat, and returned to her dignified and solemn appearance.

His Majesty the Emperor was very surprised, how could Xue Wangwu come to the palace at this time.

He did not slack off in the slightest, and said, "Hurry up, please!"

Characters like Jiang Tingyu and Xue Wangwu, it is difficult for His Majesty the Emperor to just treat them as ordinary characters, and the so-called etiquette is essential.

If it weren't for Jiang Tingyu no longer paying attention to cultivation matters and taking charge of the Heavenly Chambers for His Majesty the Emperor, and Xue Wangwu stayed in the Sword Academy of the Imperial Palace all the year round and had no interest in the court, the identity of the national teacher would not necessarily fall on the head of Chen Moxi, the star lord of the Star Picking Mansion.

In addition to the top power of the dean of the Pear Blossom Academy, in the world of Jiang Guo's cultivators, the most respected ones are Jiang Tingyu, Xue Wuwu of the Sword Academy, and Chen Moxi of the Star Picking Mansion, followed by Master Gu Chenru, the Master of the Begonia Mountain of Pujia Garden, and the Lu Zhonghui who does not set the mountain.

These people are all big people who have entered the Five Realms, and even the pinnacle, even if they are the kings of a country, they must treat each other with courtesy.

Even if the last time the entrance test of the Sword Academy of the Palace was to open the Thousand Seas Realm for a short time, Xue Wangwu did not come to the palace in person, so His Majesty the Emperor was very curious about Xue Wangwu's intention.

It wasn't until Xue Wangwu's figure appeared in the imperial study that His Majesty the Emperor vaguely realized that the reason for Xue Wangwu's coming was not simple.

Because Xue Wang's expression was very solemn.

"See Your Majesty, Queen Mother. ”

Xue Wangwu bowed to His Majesty the Emperor.

His Majesty the Emperor raised his hand slightly, signaling that there was no need to be polite, and the queen also bowed slightly.

"Dean Xue, what's the matter?"

Xue Wangwu hesitated for a moment and said, "There is one thing to ask Your Majesty to answer. ”

His Majesty the Emperor frowned and said, "I don't know what it is?" Dean Xue is okay to talk about. ”

Xue Wangwu can't guarantee that His Majesty the Emperor will agree to open the Thousand Seas Realm, after all, there is still his selfishness mixed with it, but since he has arrived at the imperial study, he can't help but say it, so he will tell the truth.

Unexpectedly, when His Majesty the Emperor heard about this, he didn't ask anything, but just said with a smile: "Since Li Mengzhou is a disciple of the Sword Academy of the Imperial Palace, and he is also a child of me, if there is a physical problem, I have to find a way to solve it." It is not a problem to open the Thousand Seas Realm, but it is just to comprehend outside the door, and if you don't enter the depths, it is not considered to break the rules. I agreed. ”

This answer surprised Xue Wangyu, but after thinking of Jiang Tingyu, Xue Wangyu was a little surprised, since Jiang Tingyu suspected Li Mengzhou's identity, then His Majesty the Emperor should also know about this matter, and it was not so surprising to have this decision.

Now that the matter has been completed, Xue Wangwu did not stay for long, but just chatted casually with His Majesty the Emperor, and then said goodbye and left.

The queen mother looked at her husband with some doubts, and said: "The Thousand Seas Realm is the holy land of luck of my Jiang Country, and it is not unusual for Your Majesty to make an exception once because of Dean Xue's identity, after all, it is only to open a gap, and if you don't really open the Thousand Seas Realm, there will be no problems."

It's not that the concubine is criticizing Dean Xue behind his back, but his request is a bit excessive, just because a disciple of the outer court has abused the Thousand Seas Realm like this, I'm afraid it is extremely inappropriate, why did Your Majesty agree?"

His Majesty the Emperor didn't misunderstand the Empress Niangniang, so he naturally knew what she was worried about, patted her jade-like softness, and said with a smile: "If it's just an ordinary outer court disciple, of course it won't be like this." Li Mengzhou is a very interesting boy, and I hope the queen will not blame me for not telling you the reason, when the time comes, I will talk to you. ”

As a woman standing behind His Majesty the Emperor, the Empress's Deyi naturally would not allow her to do this, smiled slightly, and said: "Since Your Majesty thinks he is interesting, then presumably this young man is not an ordinary mortal, and the young man who can be valued by His Majesty is only a few people such as Shen Qiubai, Bei Zangfeng and Ouyang Shengxue, and the Thousand Seas Realm was originally prepared for those young people with excellent qualifications, and they have a comprehension, which is also a blessing for Jiang Guo, and the concubines are naturally saved." ”

His Majesty the Emperor took the queen mother in his arms, held the soft wattle in his hands, looked at the snowy scenery outside the palace, and said: "Trees can only grow into towering trees after thousands of years of wind and rain.

Although I dare not say that I am better than the first emperor, I also do not want to become a faint monarch, the strength of Jiang Guo does not lie in me alone, but in all the people of Jiang Guo, especially these young people in cultivation, they are the real mainstay of Jiang Guo.

Jiang Guo is located in the center of the continent, it is a place where the world must fight, and there are endless external troubles, only by cultivating more talents can we ensure that Jiang Guo will not be swallowed up by foreign enemies. If I, Jiang Guo, cannot resist external pressure and deter all hostile forces, then how can I, Jiang Guo, survive in the world? How can I, as the son of Jiang Guo, not care?"

The queen mother gently snuggled beside him, and there was a natural and gentle meaning between her beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and she whispered: "Your Majesty has done a good job, precisely because the location of the territory of Jiang Country is too delicate, and it is by no means a matter of luck to stand for hundreds of years. ”

His Majesty the Emperor looked at the Empress with deep meaning, and said: "Now King Yu has the intention of plotting rebellion, if I am virtuous under my rule, how can there be rebels? ”

"If he hadn't been my brother, his mother would have taken good care of me when he was young, and I wouldn't have spared him when he had such thoughts. There are too many fools in the world, especially those who think they are smart, and they are really a waste of wood. ”

When it comes to such a thing, the queen doesn't know how to persuade her, royal affairs are always the most difficult to understand, and brothers turn against each other is an unavoidable thing.

She slowly stood up, calmly looked at the withered old trees outside the hall, and said: "Your Majesty values feelings the most, and your younger brother wants to rebel against your brother, and it is inevitable that Your Majesty will be angry in your heart, but you must also take care of your dragon body." His Royal Highness King Lu is the closest to His Majesty, known as the Virtuous King, and it can be regarded as the blessing of my Jiang Country and the blessing of Your Majesty. ”

After being silent for a long time, His Majesty the Emperor slowly spoke: "When Chengyi was attacked by foreign enemies, he ignored the people of my Jiang country, abandoned how many innocent souls, and even caused many generals to die because of this, he never thought that this would shake the foundation of my Jiang country and be despised by outsiders. ”

"Chengyi does have extraordinary abilities, but his thoughts make many people disagree, if it weren't for my own brother, I wouldn't have spared him back then. Compared with the fool of King Yu, although Chengyi is smart, let alone a raccoon dog, he will definitely not be able to satisfy me. If it weren't for the fact that he has behaved a lot over the years and done a lot of good deeds, how could he block the mouths of the people. ”

"The waist of my Jiang country cannot be bent, and it can resist the four countries without defeat, the important thing is the unyielding will of my Jiang country's army, being able to ignore foreign enemies, and even facing the pressure from the quiet land of mountains and seas, I can not care, in addition to the indestructible strength of my Langya City, the strength of the country, and the protection of the great power of the academy, the more important thing is ...... I, Jiang Guo, will not take the initiative to make enemies, but if the enemy comes, I will never compromise. ”

The queen didn't have much contact with Prince Lu Qin Chengyi, and when she heard what His Majesty the Emperor said, she vaguely understood something, quietly looked at her husband's familiar side face, and noticed that although he was very angry, he didn't show murderous intent, so she said softly: "A gentleman is not a weapon." ”

His Majesty the Emperor was slightly stunned, staring at the Empress's pretty face, and sighed.

......

Winter is getting deeper and deeper, and the dead vines are covered with snow, and under the reflection of the stars, they shimmer with a little fluorescence.

In a small courtyard in the Sword Courtyard of the Imperial Palace, the third senior sister hung her head slightly, looking at the three-character bookmark on the bookcase.

Outside the courtyard, Jiang Zihua hummed a little song and walked slowly towards the outer courtyard.

There was a white shadow floating in front of him.

Even though the ground is covered with snow, it can't hide that it is clean and pure.

Jiang Zihua looked at the white shadow in amazement, hurriedly waved his hands in salute, and said, "I've seen the fourth senior brother." ”

Ning Haoran also looked at him strangely and said, "Why are you here with the third senior sister?"

Jiang Zihua said a little depressedly: "The third senior sister's rice paper ran out, so I went to help her get some, because the third senior sister went to the teacher's place, so I waited here, and did not dare to leave, until the third senior sister just came back, I didn't want to return." ”

Ning Haoran nodded and said, "You can go back and rest early." ”

Jiang Zi painted a general run away.

Ning Haoran shook his head helplessly, he also didn't understand why Jiang Zihua was so afraid of the third senior sister, obviously she was a person who would only follow the rules occasionally.

This may also be a mystery in the inner courtyard of the palace.

There are only two people who know the truth, the third senior sister and Jiang Zihua.

The third senior sister, who admired Li Mengzhou's three-character calligraphy, raised her eyes slightly, and looked at the visitor with some surprise.

Ning Haoran bowed, even though the actual age of the third senior sister was one year younger than him, in the case of the same level of cultivation progress, the third senior sister who started first would naturally be the longest.

"I'm going to leave the mountain gate early tomorrow morning and go to the Western Jin Dynasty. ”

The third senior sister suddenly nodded, and said, "Have a good trip." ”

Ning Haoran smiled and said, "I will definitely meet Xu Beihan." ”

The third senior sister nodded again and said, "Find an opportunity to beat him." ”

Ning Haoran smiled bitterly and said, "I can't beat him, I'm afraid that even the senior brother may not be able to take advantage, after all, he is the eldest disciple of the Western Jin Dynasty Sword Pavilion." ”

The Sword Pavilion of the Western Jin Dynasty is the orthodoxy of sword cultivation, although it is related to the Sword Academy of the Imperial Palace of Jiang Kingdom, but its status in the world cannot be compared.

Xu Beihan, who worshiped the only sword immortal in the world, should be the most outstanding figure.

The third senior sister didn't care, and said: "Fighting doesn't have to depend on who is more powerful, Xu Beihan's brain lacks tendons, and this can be used." ”

Ning Haoran really didn't know what to say, that Xu Beihan was a kendo genius, and winning him by playing clever was not as simple as lip service, isn't there a saying in the world that in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and trickery are useless.

"I don't know if Xu Beihan's head is missing tendons, but I really can't beat him, I just came tonight to inform the third senior sister, and I have no other intentions. ”

The third senior sister looked at him silently and said, "It seems that your personality has indeed changed a lot, although this is a good thing, but sometimes it is not a good thing. ”

Ning Haoran naturally knew what this meant, but he liked this change very much, and he didn't want to go back to the past, noticing the book in front of the third senior sister, he quickly changed the topic and said: "Senior sister, isn't there another masterpiece? ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward, and when he saw the three big characters on the rice paper, and the font was quite weird, he was very surprised and said, "Senior sister actually created a font by herself?"

The third senior sister was silent, thinking about what Li Mengzhou was born to know, maybe he really didn't know calligraphy, so the words written would look nondescript, but they were very good words, maybe by mistake, it could be regarded as Li Mengzhou creating a new font.

Ning Haoran observed carefully, and said very puzzledly: "Why did the senior sister write the three words boring? Could it be that you are tired of today's life? It is not unusual to think about it, the third senior sister has lived in the inner courtyard for a long time, and she has hardly gone out, and she will inevitably feel bored all year round." ”

He let out a long sigh.

The third senior sister has no friends.

Whether it is a senior brother or a junior brother, or a teacher, they are not friends, they can only be regarded as family.

It is reported that Xu Beihan doesn't seem to have any friends, because he only has a sword in his eyes.

But what few people know is that Xu Beihan and the third senior sister are friends.

But the relationship between these two friends doesn't seem to be very good, maybe others can't understand the relationship between the two people.

The third senior sister doesn't feel that her life will seem boring, everyone has their own way of living, as long as she can write and practice, no matter what kind of environment she is in, she will find it very interesting.

"I didn't write it. ”

"Who can create an original font except for senior sister?"

Ning Haoran thought that the third senior sister was very modest, after all, she had always ignored false names, but things like this were not false names, and he felt that there was no need for the third senior sister to be humble.

"It's hard to create a font, but it's not too hard. The hardest thing is that I didn't intend to create a font, but I wrote such a word. ”

Ning Haoran frowned slightly and said, "Who is this person that Senior Sister is talking about?"

The third senior sister said calmly: "I just came back from the teacher, you should have met Senior Brother Jiang on the way, this matter is not difficult to guess." ”

Ning Haoran thought about it seriously, of course it was impossible for a teacher, although he admired the teacher very much, but about the matter of calligraphy, he didn't dare to agree, so he easily thought of a person, even if this person thought that it was even more impossible than the teacher, but he had no choice.

So his eyes widened slightly, and he said hesitantly, "Li Mengzhou?"

The third senior sister did not speak, which was equivalent to acquiescence.

"Incredible. ”

Ning Haoran's words are wonderful.

It's a surprise, but it's impossible.

Although he decided in his heart that it was impossible, he still chose to believe it.

"There are many lucky people in the world, this kind of person can also be regarded as the pride of heaven with the luck of the world, Li Mengzhou's qualifications are very high, I didn't expect to have such attainments in calligraphy, it's really not simple. ”

When the third senior sister heard this, she couldn't help but shake her head and said, "He doesn't have any attainments in calligraphy, he's just a lucky person." ”

Ning Haoran didn't want to talk about Li Mengzhou's qualifications, but he could see that the third senior sister liked Li Mengzhou's boring book very much, and that was enough.

Thinking of this, he smiled slightly and said, "Sure enough, I am very lucky." ”
