"Royal High School in the Imperial Capital?" Xiu Lian frowned slightly, looked at her father suspiciously, and asked, "That's the place where the empire cultivates the center of power, isn't it a higher academy that only accepts the children of the royal family and the duke?"

"yes, that's the academy. Lian'er is not my daughter, she is well informed!"

"I'm afraid there is no one in the entire eastern continent who doesn't know, right?"

"I didn't know it back then. The cultivator pointed to himself and said, his tone still quite proud.

Seeing that Xiu Lian was speechless for a while.

"But one thing you said is wrong, the Royal Higher Academy of the Imperial Capital does not only accept the children of the royal family and dukes, I also studied there when I was your age!"

"Well, did my father study there, too, and why did I never hear my father mention it?" asked Xiu Lian, looking up and blinking her mother's eyes.

"Otherwise, where do you think I and your Uncle Kars are in the same window?" Xiu Dao smiled and looked back at Xiu Lian and asked rhetorically.

"Yes, Uncle Kars was still a prince at the time, and you were about the same age. Xiu Lian immediately slammed her fist into her palm, and then asked, "But why did Uncle Kars arrange me to that school?"

Xiu Dao stretched out his hand and pointed to the two documents in Xiu Lian's arms, "Because of them." He pointed to Xiulian again, "It's also because of you." ”

"What does it have to do with me, and what does it have to do with me?" Xiu Lian lowered her head and thought about it, but she didn't figure it out.

The monk did not rush to explain, but walked to the coffee table under his daughter's gaze, poured himself the sixth cup of tea, and took a sip. "It's also time for you to know the origins of our Xiu family and their Greillman family. Xiudao turned to look at Xiu Lian with a teacup, "As early as more than 300 years ago, in the era of His Majesty Iragon, our two families were already very familiar, and the ancestor Xiulin, who had traveled abroad, met the fledgling Iragon, and the two hit it off and admired each other, laying the foundation for the future unification of the mainland." ”

"Why haven't I seen this history in the history books?" Xiu Lian asked thoughtfully.

"It was the ancestors who asked the historians not to write it in, and besides, with the nature of our cultivators, it is not suitable to appear on the stage of history. "The monk raised the teacup and blew away the tea leaves floating on the tea water," the continent finally completed the unification with the help of His Majesty Iragon and the help of the prophet, and when the empire was first established, the ancestors helped His Majesty Iragon form a military intelligence office based on the model of the Xiu family, and when everything was on the right track, the ancestors did not say goodbye and left the life of the imperial capital and returned to the old mansion. The monk stopped to take a sip of tea, and then said, "In this way, many years passed, and the ancestor was busy with the affairs of the old house, until one day His Majesty Iragon sent a letter, and the ancestor did not agree to His Majesty Iragon's request after reading the letter, but sent his son to the imperial capital, and then his son entered the imperial capital. ”

"What is written in the letter?" In fact, Xiu Lian had roughly guessed it.

The monk blew another sip of tea, "The content of the letter is roughly that His Majesty Iragon wants to choose one of his five children to be raised as an inheritor, and he hopes that the ancestors will give him advice. ”

"Sure enough. "It's similar to Xiu Lian's guess.

"Since then, whenever their Greillman family wants to establish a prince, there must be people from our Xiu family involved, so that every generation of their Greillman family Majesties has maintained a very good friendship with our Xiu family. As he spoke, he drank all the tea in the monastic teacup. "My grandfather and Kars's grandfather, my father and Kars's father, me and Kars," Shudo paused and looked into Xiu Lian's eyes, "Now it's your turn." ”

"I still don't understand why Lichu has anything to do with asking me to go to the Imperial Capital Royal Academy to study?"

Xiu Dao put the teacup back on the coffee table behind him, looked at Xiu Lian again and said, "Since ancient times, whether it is a big country or a small country, the emperor and the prince are a big thing, and it is easy to be careless, after all, it is related to the future of the country, and it can't be too public, causing unnecessary trouble, but it can't be too low-key, so as not to let the prince be calculated." It is difficult to grasp the degree of this, and even His Majesty Iragon, who unified the continent, has not been able to grasp it well. The cultivator's gaze moved away from Xiu Lian and looked at the rain outside the hall, "And our cultivators play this role, starting from the sons of the ancestors, as long as the people of our cultivators enter the Imperial Capital Royal Higher Academy to study, they are sending a message to the princes and the children of the dukes and counts who are studying there, reminding them that His Majesty is ready to become a prince." ”

"I see, it's not too public, it's not too low-key. Xiu Lian figured it out after listening to Xiu Dao's words.

Originally, this matter should have been done by Hua'er, but you also know his temper, and he doesn't like to be manipulated to do things he doesn't like. Xiu Dao shifted his gaze from the rain back to Xiu Lian. "And what kind of medicine is sold in Karls's kid's gourd hasn't been figured out yet, you can't push Hua'er into the fire pit, you must know that there are not only twin princes studying in the Royal College of Higher Education in the imperial capital, but also the princess, that Hua'er's nominal fiancée. Xiu Dao thought in his heart, he didn't tell Xiu Lian about this.

"Actually, I don't like it either, father. Xiu Lian looked at Xiu Dao with some loss.

Xiu Dao felt Xiu Lian's mood and walked to her side, "On the other hand, I am also selfish, I don't want Lian'er to stay at home all the time you have been living in the imperial capital like in the old mansion, arrange a place for you to go, and you can go out for a walk and go shopping." Shudo stroked her hair and said kindly, "I don't want my daughter to miss such a beautiful flower season and rainy season. ”

Xiu Dao's gentle words and movements wiped out the loss in Xiu Lian's heart, and Xiu Lian's voice was a little choked and softly called, "Father..."

Xiu Dao stroked Xiu Lian's back and said half-jokingly, "Tomorrow your mother and I will accompany you to buy some new clothes, dress up our Lian'er beautifully, and then go to study to compare all those noble ladies to those noble ladies." ”

“...”

After that, Xiu Dao and Xiu Lian talked about some other topics, until Ling'er came to call them for lunch, and the family of three finished their first meal in the imperial capital in this hall and began their life in the imperial capital.

......

The rain continued to fall, and there was no sign of stopping, and the original scene of horse-drawn carriages in the aristocratic district was gone, and the road looked a little deserted under the rain.

On both sides of the crimson gate of the Marquis of Ertonte's palace, two people with spearheads and hats who couldn't see clearly in the uniforms of the soldiers were standing guard there, and the heavy rain was so unscrupulous that they were pouring on the two of them, and the standing posture of the two of them in the rain was quite standard, but the expressions on their faces looked somewhat reluctant.

"It's damn weather, it's raining anyway. The soldier standing on the left side of the gate complained.

"yes, it's unlucky, it's the two of us standing guard. The soldier on the right chimed in.

"Who said it wasn't?" The soldier on the left suddenly showed a very obscene expression, "I just saw the young master go out and take several brothers out, looking at the expression on their faces, I don't know which girl is going to be unlucky this time, hehe~"

"Hey~ I was also standing guard last time, but Brother Wang and the young master went out to run errands, and in the end everyone got a piece of the pie, but this time I didn't have my share, you said I wasn't unlucky. The soldier on the right said with a look of hatred.

"Oh, I was also there when you said Brother Wang, tsk tsk~ It's not a brother, I'll stimulate you, that girl cried her father and shouted at the beginning to the end to resist and welcome it~ It's just beautiful. The soldier on the left subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of water as he spoke, adding a touch of his lips. "It's drooling when I think about it now. ”

"Brother, brother, brother, tell me about the scene. The soldier on the right said with a smile on his face.

"Okay, I'll tell you about it, hahaha~ Young master at that time..."

Just as the soldiers on the left were about to speak, on the empty street, a young man in a black suit walked up to them in the rain and stopped, "Open the door, I'll look for you marquis." ”

Someone who came is a correction!
