Chapter 76: The Second Entrance to the Palace
The next day, out of the inner hall, Mu Sheng changed into a set of strong clothes and came directly to the wing where Hua Zilan lived and asked her to come out and go to the martial arts arena to practice together.
Hua Zilan worked as a bodyguard during the war and as a sparring partner in peacetime.
At this time, Hua Zilan stood in the center of the martial arts arena, took out her double swords, her eyes were sharp, and the entire martial arts arena seemed to be shrouded in her aura.
Mu Sheng looked at her proud figure, and in a trance, it seemed that she had returned to the Qucheng granary, and the green-shirted female demon rushed towards them with two swords in her hand like a killing god......
Seeing her rushing over, Mu Sheng raised his sword to frame Hua Zilan's dual swords, although she only used four successful strengths, Mu Sheng still felt that the tiger's mouth was shaking, and sure enough, the gap in the hard power of the realm was indeed too big.
It seems that the last time she used her talent and divine power Heavenly Khotan Heart Thunder to make a move, it was really a fluke, and her strength still couldn't compete with the Heavenly Master-level monks.
At this time, Hua Zilan turned around, turned the sword in her right hand into a fire whip, bypassed Mu Sheng's block, and hit to the left, Mu Sheng saw this, hurriedly moved to the right, and unfolded his body, which was able to dodge.
Mu Sheng stepped back, pulled away and silently recited a spell, took out three flying knives from his arms, and with a flick of his hand, turned into seven cyan afterimages and struck at Hua Zilan, Hua Zilan's fire whip turned into two swords again, and with a wave of it, he flew away the flying knives one by one.
There is no way, Mu Sheng's current realm, the only spell that can be used can be spelled and concealed......
Mu Sheng took the opportunity to bully forward, and took Hua Zilan's heart with a sword, she reacted extremely quickly, and a sword separated Mu Sheng's killing blow, and the sword in her left hand turned into a fire whip and hit Mu Sheng's chest.
Mu Sheng hurriedly returned to the sword to block, only to feel that his chest was simmered and he was hit and took seven or eight steps back before he stood firm, he put away his sword and signaled to stop, Hua Zilan also withdrew his double sword with a face full of embarrassment.
Hua Zilan's fire whip technique can be soft or hard, the attack angle is extremely tricky, and the usual moves are extremely difficult to defend, worthy of being the descendant of Yunhua Sect.
Hua Zilan said, "Master, the strength I used just now was a little too big, don't you matter?" ”
Mu Sheng waved his hand, and waited for the surging qi and blood in his body to calm down before he said, "It seems that your cultivation has improved a lot recently, I am not an enemy at all, we will have you by my side to protect us when we go to trade, and I am also relieved a lot......"
"The master has half a month before the Xiangcheng trade fair will be held, and when the time comes, I will protect the master."
Mu Sheng just wanted to pat her on the shoulder and say do a good job, but suddenly realized that she was a lesbian, so she had to withdraw her hand awkwardly, and said reluctantly, "Feng Jiu, if you have anything to look up to at the auction this time, tell me directly." ”
Hua Zilan nodded happily.
At this time, a temple man quickly ran over to Mu Sheng and said, "Lord, someone is here in the palace......
Mu Sheng's brows tightened when he heard this, he handed over the gold medal three days ago to enter the palace to face the saint, and he didn't receive the news until today, he went out of the martial arts arena to greet the people in the palace.
When Mu Sheng came to the front yard, he saw three temple people in the palace, followed by more than a dozen guards.
The head of the herald temple came forward to bow to Mu Sheng and made a big salute: "Qi Changping Jun, slave Yang Liu, on the order of the head of the inner court, Lu Gonggong, is here to welcome Changping Jun into the Taiji Palace to meet His Majesty." ”
Mu Sheng stretched out his hand and helped him with a smile, "Gonggong Yang is exempt, I'll go and freshen up and enter the palace to face the saint." ”
In the inner room, Mu Sheng wiped his sweat, and Yun'er changed a set of clothes for him, and he was dressed properly.
Mu Sheng originally wanted Xi Xue to serve him in formal clothes, after all, he was going to the palace, in this era, this wide robe with big sleeves, three layers inside and three layers outside, it was very troublesome to wear, and he really couldn't do it alone.
He watched Yun'er busy and put on the last brocade robe for Mu Sheng, seeing that she was done, Mu Sheng helplessly pressed Yun'er's hand and said, "Yun'er will let Xixue be busy in the future, you, there are so many things in the house that you still have to take care of as a housekeeper, so you don't have to do this kind of trivial matter yourself." ”
When Yun'er heard this, she immediately drooped her willow eyebrows, pouted, and showed a sad face: "Childe has a new love, forget the old people, son, do you dislike Yun'er?" This kind of thing can only be done by people who come out of the palace like me, and dressing is very particular, how can she, a country woman, know so many rules......"
After that, Yun'er looked like she was about to cry.
Seeing her like this, Mu Sheng comforted her helplessly, "Yun'er, I didn't mean to dislike you, how could I dislike you?" Mother went early, you and I have been dependent on each other for so many years since childhood, you are more important than Mount Tai in my heart, I mean this kind of trivial matter is just left to Xi Xue to do, I also have a woman now, let her also share more of the things in the house, Xi Xue just entered the door, many rules in this house, you, the housekeeper mother-in-law, have to train a little more, she will naturally understand, I am also for your good. ”
When Yun'er heard this, her mood was a little better, but she still shook her head like a rattle and said, "No! It is my duty to serve my son's daily life, how can I easily hand it over to others? If Gongzi really doesn't want me to serve, ask Gongzi to let me out of the house tomorrow, and the concubine will never complain......"
Speaking of this, Yun'er looked like she was about to cry again.
Mu Sheng held his forehead and said helplessly, "Okay!" Good! Good! It's up to you, I'm really afraid of you, if you're not tired, you'll be the one to change clothes in the future, okay? ”
Yun'er burst into tears and said with a smile: "Childe's body can only belong to me alone." ”
Mu Sheng sighed and thought, Yun'er...... How important can it be to wear clothes in daily life?
Mu Sheng finished picking up, and asked the temple people in the house to follow with the gift box of filial piety to his father, he opened the gift box and repeatedly confirmed that the things were in good condition and got into the carriage sent by the palace to pick him up.
Getting into the carriage, Mu Sheng always felt that something was wrong, it turned out that there were four snow-white horses pulling the cart in front of him, as the carriage moved, Mu Sheng carefully looked at the regulations of the carriage, and then he finally broke out in a cold sweat, this is the carriage that His Royal Highness the Prince is qualified to ride, no one will deliberately mess with him, right?
Mu Sheng poked his head out and hurriedly stopped the carriage, called Yang Liu, who greeted him, and asked, "Gonggong Yang, what's the matter with this car?" ”
Yang Liumei smiled and said, "Back to Changpingjun, this is what Your Majesty meant." ”
Mu Sheng was stunned for a long time, and had to say, "Let's go......"
Let's go! The emperor is really able to do the whole thing, this has already put the fire on the shelf first, and this matter must not be hidden from the prince's ears and eyes, hey! Never mind...... Anyway, let's follow His Majesty's script, and I don't know if the emperor and his old man have arranged a way out for themselves after the crown prince succeeds to the throne in the future.
If the emperor doesn't make arrangements, then he has to find it himself, sometimes it's better to wear it on ordinary people, even if you can't cultivate, lie flat, be safe, open your eyes and close your eyes This life will soon be mixed up, anyway, the average life expectancy is thirty-five years old, and a lifetime is very fast.
When the convoy arrived at Taiji Palace, Mu Sheng got out of the car and looked at the carriage that was out of control for him, and shook his head helplessly, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, take a step and see a step!
Mu Sheng followed Yang Liu all the way to the Tianji Palace, he was dressed properly, and the two of them passed through the heavy guards, and entered the palace, which was still the familiar and shocking palace, or the jade platform.
I saw that under the jade stage, Lu Liang, the head of the inner court, was waiting under the stage.
Mu Sheng stepped forward and bowed, "Mr. Lu, ......
Gonggong Lu smiled and said, "Changpingjun, please follow the old slave on stage." ”
The two of them ascended the high platform, only to see that the imperial ruler in the middle of the jade platform was still sitting in the middle with a moon-white robe and meditating with his eyes closed.
Mu Sheng didn't dare to slack off at all, stepped forward and knelt on the ground, bowed three times and bowed nine times, and said, "Your Majesty, for ten thousand years, my son has not seen my father for a long time, and I am very fond of it. ”
The one in the middle slowly opened his eyes, looked at Mu Sheng, and said indifferently, "Sheng'er is flat." ”
Mu Sheng got up and said, "Thank you father, my father and sons have traveled to the rivers and lakes before, passing through Yuzhen Sect, I have heard that my father is bent on seeking Taoism, and my sons and daughters are inexplicable, and they have asked for a pair of thousand-year-old mountain ginseng, a hundred years of three hundred and seventy-four pairs, two pairs of Ganoderma lucidum and agarwood in southern Xinjiang, and a box of marrow washing pills, these spiritual objects can help my father practice, and I hope that my father will accept a piece of filial piety from his sons." ”
Mu Sheng waved his hand back, and the two temple people presented the brocade box, but the emperor didn't look at it, just nodded slightly, and the chief manager Lu Liang signaled Yang Liu to accept the brocade box and retreat.
The emperor is rich all over the world, he doesn't necessarily lack these things, what he gives is a heart.
The emperor looked at Mu Sheng holding the floating dust in his hand for a moment before saying, "Sheng'er has a heart, come closer." ”
Mu Sheng stepped forward, and his father patted Mu Sheng's shoulder and sighed: "I haven't seen you for half a year, but you have grown a lot taller, and you will be crowned in a few years, and I will personally perform the crowning ceremony for you at that time." ”
Mu Sheng heard the great joy and said, "The crown ceremony of the father and the emperor for the sons is really a great blessing for the sons, and the sons and daughters thank the heavens, Your Majesty for ten thousand years." ”
The emperor said falsely, "Okay, you get up, Sheng'er, with the crown ceremony, you can enter the court and participate in politics as a king, I mean, you don't have to wait for the crown ceremony, from tomorrow onwards, you will follow the Taiji Palace Xuanzheng Yuan to participate in politics, you just observe carefully, if you don't understand anything, you can ask your uncle Zhao Shu." ”
Mu Sheng gave a deep salute and said, "Father, the son is dull, he will always consult his uncle, and he will never live up to his father's expectations." ”
"Good! Good! Sheng'er, don't go back today, stay in the Taiji Palace to accompany me, I know that you are also a cultivator, and today I want to take a good test of this method. ”
Mu Sheng looked ecstatic and kowtowed, "The son can accompany the king and fulfill his filial piety in front of the emperor, it is really a great grace of heaven......"
Lu Liang, the head of the inner court, heard this, his face changed slightly, and he lost no time in saying, "Your Majesty, the old slave will personally clean up an upper room for Changping Jun. ”
The emperor bowed his head slightly in acquiescence, and after Lu Liang silently retreated, on the jade platform, Mu Sheng and the emperor discussed the way of cultivation......
It wasn't until late afternoon that the emperor said with a pleasant face, "Sheng'er, the hour is not early, and today is the end of it, and I will discuss it with you tomorrow." ”
Mu Sheng bowed and saluted, "My son, I would like to send your majesty." ”
After the emperor went to the palace to rest, Mu Sheng withdrew from the Tianji Hall and went to his upper room under the guidance of Yang Liu.
Just as Mu Sheng was about to leave the palace, he happened to bump into a group of palace maids with lanterns in front, but in the middle of the procession there was a woman in palace clothes who was wearing a scarf and looked down on her face.
Seeing this, Yang Liu immediately stepped forward and saluted, "Slave Yang Liu, knock to see Mrs. Sun." ”
The woman in the palace dress nodded slightly through the scarf, and Mu Sheng probably guessed that it should be the emperor's pillow person.
Mu Sheng also hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "Son, Mu Sheng, see Mrs. ”
When the woman in the palace heard his name, her body paused.
I only heard her graceful and pleasant voice under the veil: "You are the son of Changping Junsheng?" ”
Mu Sheng didn't dare to raise his head, and nodded yes.
Mrs. Sun said, "Sheng'er, you raise your head and let the palace take a look." ”
After all, it was the father's woman, and it was the little mother, so Mu Sheng had no choice but to raise his head and look at the woman in front of him.
She just looked at Mu Sheng carefully through the scarf, and sighed softly: "It's really like!" ”
After saying an inexplicable word, Mrs. Sun turned around and left......
