Hongguang is thirty-one years, and the twentieth month of Layue.

The middle palace of the zodiac, auspicious, everything is suitable.

Only seven days after Emperor Ling's burial, Chu Ming, the third prince, was officially enthroned as emperor under the recommendation of the eldest princess and the minister of civil and military affairs, and was called Emperor Ming.

Change the yuan Zhongxing, which means the omen of the prosperity of the Great Chu.

The eldest princess served as a lifelong minister, and the first Dazai in the history of the Chu State.

After she took power, the first thing she did was to take advantage of the rebellion of the former crown prince and the second prince to rectify the defense armament of the imperial capital.

The imperial capital defense army is completely in his hands.

At the same time, the Praetorian Guards in the palace, as well as the reorganized Jiyongsi, were also included in the command.

plus the private warriors of those big families who originally supported the eldest princess.

Inside and outside the entire imperial city, all the armed forces are now obeying the call of Feng Ling, and they are impregnable.

Originally, several vassal kings from other places still wanted to enter Beijing to get a piece of the pie under the banner of King Qin.

But seeing that the eldest princess was so thunderous and quickly controlled the situation, she didn't dare to make any more moves.

The Great Chu Dynasty, which had experienced a turmoil, finally stabilized temporarily.

A new era seems to be beginning.

……

Emperor Ling's state funeral was extremely short, as if it had only gone through a formality.

The new emperor ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world.

And because it is approaching Chinese New Year's Eve, inside and outside the palace, there is a joyful atmosphere, everywhere is covered with red and green, and the lights are colorful.

People are forgetful.

They don't remember that just a month ago, many people lost their lives on this seemingly prosperous deep palace long street.

"I heard that that night, the Qiankun Hall was in a dark fight, and as soon as the innate ancestor made a move, his blood was like a dragon, and he killed hundreds of skilled eunuchs, and he could also spit out flying swords, killing people outside a hundred zhang, and he was a fairy figure......"

Kwai Yuan corridor.

Xiao Linzi sat by the fire, eating the sunflower seeds that Su Chen had just fried, while sharing the news he had just gotten.

I have to say that this guy is much smarter than the previous two food delivery eunuchs.

In just over ten days, he has already won over many palace maids and eunuchs through various means, so he is well-informed.

Even if it is a lot of taboo topics in private, he can find out a thing or two.

"An innate master of martial arts, his blood is like a dragon, and he spits a flying sword in his mouth?"

Su Chen was a little surprised.

It seems that the innate grandmaster of this world is stronger than he imagined.

Although there must be rumors and exaggerations in this, it is also an indisputable fact that the ancestor of the royal family suppressed the heroes and determined the world with the power of one person.

In history, it is also recorded that the Taizu of Chu State has indeed been inherited by the immortal family.

It is not ruled out that the royal family of the Chu State has one or two immortal magic inheritances.

But alas.

This must be a secret within the royal secret.

With Su Chen's current status, he is not qualified to get it.

"An Innate Realm martial artist can have the power to suppress one side, so how powerful should the legendary immortal cultivator be?"

Su Chen thought in his heart.

The two chatted casually for a while.

Xiao Linzi looked at the room where Su Chen lived, it was still as simple and tidy as usual, without the slightest festive look.

I couldn't help but say: "Seeing that it is about Chinese New Year's Eve, you can arrange this place well, and it is somewhat good to have an atmosphere." ”

"Kwai Yuan is just me, and it doesn't make a difference if I don't have the New Year, so why bother."

Su Chen replied lightly.

In fact, in his room, there were many traps secretly arranged, all of which he had learned from books.

At critical moments, you can save your life.

Unless necessary, do not move anything in the house.

"You, you're about the same age as me, but your temperament is the same as that of an old man in his seventies and eighties."

Xiao Linzi was a little speechless.

The two were old acquaintances, but now they meet every day, how can they be regarded as friends, and after getting acquainted, they are no longer as different from each other as before.

"That's right. I've heard that there will be activities in the two days of Ayaluofang, and many palace maids and eunuchs enjoy the snow here, or let's go and join in the fun, maybe find a 'right food', and save you from being lonely......"

The so-called anti-food refers to the palace maid and the eunuch eating together.

The eunuch has no wife, and the palace maid has no husband, so they take care of each other and comfort each other.

At the beginning, the court was still very taboo about this, and the palace maids and eunuchs had to be sneaky about food, but then they gradually became accustomed to it, and now in the Great Chu Palace, the wind of food is extremely strong, and it can even be above board.

This is somewhat similar to the Ming Dynasty in the history of the earth.

"Find a woman to live with?"

Su Chen shook his head, he didn't want to make trouble for himself.

Those who can be recruited into the palace are indeed beautiful women with clear eyebrows, but the secrets on their bodies are too big, not to mention anything else, just one "unfinished body" is enough to kill the head.

Find a young and beautiful woman to come back, can you resist not doing something?

That's harder than quitting drugs.

If you do that, you can't guarantee that you won't be known and cause trouble.

Besides, after a long period of love, after all, I can live forever, and watching a woman's face aging and turning into pink and dry bones is also self-inflicted.

It's better to cultivate honestly and seriously, improve your strength, and it won't take too long, as long as you become an innate grandmaster, you can easily enter and leave the palace.

When the time comes, the sky is high and the birds will fly, and it is not simple to want a woman?

"Forget it. I'm still used to being alone, guarding the library here, drinking and reading books every day, which is also very good. ”

Hearing Su Chen's refusal, Lin Fan was not reluctant.

He knew that Su Chen was practicing martial arts, after all, the Zuogui wine sent every day had to pass through his hands, so he didn't say much if Su Chen was bent on pursuing martial arts and had no intention of doing anything about men and women.

After chatting for a while, seeing that it was not early, Lin Fan got up and left first.

Before leaving, he thought about it and said, "I know a lot of people in this palace, but you are the only one who is a friend." If there is nowhere to go on Chinese New Year's Eve, come and sit with you, are you welcome? ”

When Su Chen heard this, he thought about it.

I didn't refuse.

He nodded and said, "Remember to bring some good wine and food." You can't drink my left-returning wine......"

"Alright, no one cares about your medicinal wine......"

Lin Fan smiled and left.

Su Chen stood up and walked towards the library building, first cleaned the first floor as usual, and then went to the second floor.

After the eldest princess left, the second floor was empty, but she still left a lot of things.

Su Chen didn't dare to move, but simply cleaned and tidyed up the outside of the study.

As for the study, he never set foot on it, and he never even pushed the door open.

He was worried that there would be something in it that he shouldn't see, in case the eldest princess remembered it one day and came back here, he couldn't say that he would get into trouble.

Don't look at what you shouldn't see, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't care about what you shouldn't care.

Stick to your duty and develop in a low-key manner.

This is the way of survival that Su Chen pursues now.
