Chapter 66: Going to the Banquet (Seeking Follow-up)
Zhao Hongming knew what Princess Wuyin meant.
In her eyes, she is a powerless and unfavored prince.
There is only one year left to establish the palace and become king.
If you don't have a martial arts master by your side, let's not talk about the thieves and bandits on the road.
In the face of the local snakes who were in power, without force to suppress them, it was difficult for him to gain a foothold in the local area.
In the history of the Wei State, it is not without princes who died in the feudal land.
As the largest martial arts force in the Wei State, the disciples in the door have been selected by thousands of people, and the cultivation that can stay in the door is not bad, and the Zhengyi Palace also has rudders in most cities in the Wei State.
If you can make friends with the children in the Zhengyi Palace, you may be able to get some care in the future.
Not to mention how much help it can provide, at least life can still be guaranteed.
Luckily, with the support of the children of these officials, they can also use one official and a half position to pull a few martial artists to follow.
All in all, befriending the children of the Shoichiyasu is beneficial to him and harmless.
Zhao Hongming smiled and said freely: "Fourth sister, making friends can only depend on fate, and you can't force it." If I die begging for nothing, I will only lose the royal face and let the people of Zhengyi Palace see the jokes of the fourth sister. β
Princess Wuyin sighed, and Lao Cheng said: "When the time comes, you can control it yourself." β
Zhao Hongming can roughly see that Princess Wuyin is not very happy in Zhengyi Palace.
Her marriage was completely a decision made by Emperor Jian'an in order to befriend Zhengyi Palace, and it was a real political marriage.
Before getting married, she didn't even know what the other party looked like.
As a royal person, he married into the martial arts forces, saying that he was married, but the martial arts forces mostly advocated martial arts and respected the world.
How much better can she live?
The bitterness is bitter, although Princess Wuyin didn't say it, but Zhao Hongming can also guess a rough idea.
In just a few months, Princess Wuyin's original innocence of the girl has completely disappeared, and all that remains is the tiredness on the woman's face.
Princess Wuyin bowed slightly and said, "The invitation has been delivered, and I won't disturb your rest anymore." β
"Is the fourth sister leaving? Don't come in and sit again? Zhao Hongming got up to greet him.
Only then did he notice that both of them were standing in the courtyard, and he hadn't made tea for Princess Wuyin to sit down.
It's a bit of a faux pas.
Princess Wuyin shook her head slightly and said, "It's not too early, I'd better go back early, so as not to make your brother-in-law think too much." β
"Then I won't keep the fourth sister. See you again tomorrow. β
"Fifth brother, you are busy."
Zhao Hongming saw that Princess Wuyin left his residence accompanied by two maids.
After Princess Wuyin left, Zhao Hongming let out a long sigh.
Even if she is a prince, what if the princess can dress and eat?
After leaving the palace and losing the protection of their father and the Great Array, most of them are no different from ordinary people.
Even if you practice martial arts, you spend a lot of energy and resources, and you only stay in the realm of opening the pulse, which is not much stronger than the average martial artist.
This world is too unfair for the royal family.
When Zhao Hongming was idle, he was also curious to read the classics, wanting to understand the reason.
I vaguely only know that it is related to the king of the Shang country.
But for specific reasons, even if he searched through various classics, he couldn't find a more in-depth record.
It seems that only Emperor Jian'an can clearly know the secrets of this.
Zhao Hongming did not think further about this issue.
Anyway, I'm different from them.
Instead of thinking nonsense over there, it's better to spend more time, cultivate seriously, and improve your progress.
Zhao Hongming sat cross-legged on the bed and began to cultivate seriously again.
His consciousness moved, and he glanced at the martial arts panel.
[Name: Zhao Hongming]
γCultivation Exercises: Eight Desolations and Immortal Skills-Innate One Product (2280/6000)γ
[Martial Arts: Heaven and Earth Slash - 7th Floor (700/700), 8th Desolate Secret Walk (2100/X), Fist of Rage - 2nd Floor (35/1000)]
[Breakthrough Martial Arts: Fist of Fury]
[Today's training time: 8 hours]
[Constitution: Excellent]
[Root Bone Bonus: 2]
Today, due to the delay of too many things, I only practiced for eight hours.
Too little.
According to his standards, he had to practice at least sixteen hours a day.
Now it's only half done.
It seems that today I want to liver down, catch up on the progress, and strive to make a little progress every day.
Zhao Hongming took a deep breath and began to cultivate seriously.
β¦β¦
One night passed in the blink of an eye.
Zhao Hongming practiced for a whole night.
He opened his eyes and refined the brewing in his mouth a few times before slowly exhaling.
At this time, even if he didn't sleep all night, he could feel a burst of comfort.
Under the influence of the Eight Desolations Immortal Gong, every inch of his flesh and pores were relaxed.
There was a stream of immortal true intent surging and permeating in his flesh and blood, filling his body with strength.
The Immortal Martial Arts Method is worthy of being the Immortal Martial Arts Method.
When he was in the innate realm, he was already able to snatch the free 'qi' from between heaven and earth to strengthen himself, almost 'endlessly'.
The martial arts exercises on the rivers and lakes can only be achieved to this extent when they reach the realm of martial arts.
Outside, the sun had risen high.
In the Zhengyi Palace, he doesn't need to ask for peace every day, and he doesn't need to go to the study to learn those rotten Confucian principles.
So no one would come to disturb him, and he felt better than ever.
Zhao Hongming took out the invitation card and looked at the specific time of the banquet at noon.
If you count the time, it's not much worse.
He didn't delay any longer, and called Gao Yanshi to wash and loosen his clothes.
After walking out of the door, he saw that the door of Chen Xuerong's room next door was open, but the person was not inside.
Zhao Hongming was curious: "What about Miss Chen?" β
"Your Highness, I heard from Miss Chen that she went to meet the master in the door, and she left very early." Gao Yanshi explained behind him.
Zhao Hongming nodded and didn't ask any more.
"Go and call the guards, and come with me to the feast."
After a day of recuperation, plus the treatment of some pills, his injuries were basically better, enough to deal with some scenes.
didn't let Zhao Hongming wait for a long time.
Soon, Chang ran out in small steps.
"Your Highness!"
Zhao Hongming said with concern: "Is the injury okay?" β
"His Royal Highness Lao's concern is no longer hindered."
Zhao Hongming said: "Then let's go, the master of Wuyang Palace has set up a banquet, it's almost time." β
"Yes."
β¦β¦
The banquet of the lord of Wuyang Palace was set up near the waterfall of Zhengyi Palace.
There are pavilions and terraces, strange pines and strange stones, and occasionally many rare and exotic beasts.
The view is amazing.
When Zhao Hongming walked over, he saw a strange horse with horns and two dragon whiskers on his mouth from a distance.
Covered in golden scales, it swims under waterfalls and occasionally emerges from the waterholes, making it particularly nimble.
"It's a dragon foal with dragon blood."
A man's voice came from behind him.
Zhao Hongming turned his head to look and found an ugly-looking, five-foot-short man standing behind him.
With his hands on his back, the man held his head high and said, "This dragon horse is different from ordinary horses, it is as powerful as an elephant, it is like a fly, and it is effortless to travel thousands of miles a day. For example, there are only seven fingers in captivity today. There is only one horse in the entire Wei Kingdom, that is, the one in front of you. β
The only one?
Zhao Hongming was really surprised.
He clenched his fists and said, "Dare to ask Your Excellency's name?" β
"My name is Lan Tianjiao, the son of Elder Lan of Zhengyimen."
When Zhao Hongming heard this, isn't this his fourth brother-in-law?
He glanced up and down at Lan Tianjiao and found that he was really a little unsightly.
Ugly and short.
Standing with Princess Wuyin, you can only reach her chin.
But you can't judge people by their appearance.
Yan Zi is not five feet tall, but he can be named the prime minister of Qi.
Some people are just clumsy on the outside and show off on the inside.
Zhao Hongming warned himself not to underestimate him.
He kept a smile and said politely: "It turned out that it was my brother-in-law in front of him, which was disrespectful." β
"You are the fifth prince Zhao Hongming, right?" Lan Tianjiao raised his head and said, "I once heard your sister mention it." She said that among the many princes, it is not easy for you, let me take care of you more. β
"I don't know what you think about starting a family and marrying a wife in the future?"
Zhao Hongming was slightly stunned.
Why did you suddenly ask him about getting married to a wife?
He didn't quite understand what Lan Tianjiao was talking about.
However, Lan Tianjiao is the son of the elder of Zhengyi Palace, and secondly, he is his brother-in-law, and he can't help but answer in the face of his inquiry.
"For the time being, I'm still young and don't think much about it."
Zhao Hongming said what he really thought in his heart.
"You're not too young now, you're fourteen years old. At your age, you can be a man and a father. Let's start by talking about what you like. β
Zhao Hongming was speechless, they were obviously only fourteen years old, how could they be considered not young?
But in the face of Lan Tianjiao's questioning, Zhao Hongming pondered for a while and said: "I still hope that the girl with a bigger belly will have a gentle personality, and she can teach my husband and children more in the future." β
"Big belly? Gentle? Lan Tianjiao was slightly stunned, and then showed a little smile: "Coincidentally, Elder Qin in my sect has a daughter, who happens to have a gentle personality and a ...... It's not small. I will also attend this feast today, and I will arrange for you to sit with her then. It's a rare opportunity, you can have a good exchange with others. β
Zhao Hongming's expression was stunned, and he immediately understood what Lan Tianjiao meant, and also reacted, why did Princess Wuyin tell him yesterday to let him grasp it.
They wanted to pair him.
Zhao Hongming reacted quickly and said: "I am a member of the royal family, even if I am willing, the other party may not be willing." If you marry me, I am afraid that it will be difficult to keep my martial arts cultivation. β
Lan Tianjiao smiled: "Hahaha, you don't have to worry about this, not everyone has an extremely high martial arts talent." Some people's cultivation may not be as good as your royal family. β
Listening to this meaning, the other party is a person with no talent for martial arts?
If that's the case, maybe the other party really wants to.
After all, after marrying into the royal family, except for the temptation and hindrance in practice, the rest did not have much impact, but there was endless glory and wealth.
Zhao Hongming felt that if he could get the support of Zhengyi Palace because of this, he would not have any loss, but he would be extremely happy.
"In that case, it will be hard for my brother-in-law."
