Scripture Pavilion.

The scriptures in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of the Great Chu Kingdom are also second to none in the world. The entire Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is built very magnificently, and it can even be comparable to the Xilu Academy of the Qin State. There are seven floors in the Zangjing Pavilion, which stands tall in the garden of the Chu Palace, and is heavily guarded on all sides. Many of the scriptures in it were salvaged from various countries, and some of them are very valuable, and some of them are still in the only collection. There were not many people who could enter and leave the Scripture Pavilion at will, and Chu Mo was an exception.

In order for him to concentrate on studying the scriptures, the king of Chu specially set up a meditation room on each floor of the scripture pavilion, which was built like a prison cell, and the empty room was surrounded by stone walls, and there was nothing but a table, a chair, and a candlestick. This place has become Chu Mo's nightmare, and in the past, the King of Chu would personally supervise and discipline him every day.

The guards of the Scripture Pavilion were already surprised by Chu Mo's arrival, and they were a little surprised to see him take the initiative to go in to study.

And Chu Mo also resisted in every way, but the king of Chu instructed that after he came back, he would personally interrogate him, and if he didn't learn well, he would be punished more heavily, and he would be locked up in a meditation room for a few days and nights without being released.

Chu Mo was helpless, and took Han Lu to the Scripture Pavilion.

When he came to the meditation room, Chu Mo looked at the large stack of scriptures on the table that he hadn't read the day before, and his head was dizzy. Although the national teacher once praised him for his talent and his ability to read through those complicated and difficult scriptures, only Chu Mo himself knew the pain when he buried his head at his desk.

He sat down at the table, and Han Luyao stood behind him obediently.

"Begin, do you want me to teach you?" Chu Mo glanced back at her and said impatiently.

Han Luyao bowed his head in response, knelt down obediently, and kowtowed to Chu Mo.

Chu Mo lit the candle, skillfully opened the scriptures, picked up a slender wolf pen, and began to copy it on the paper.

Knock knock.

He listened to the voice coming from behind him, frowned, and said without raising his head: "Harder, haven't you eaten?"

Knock knock.

Han Luyao stumbled even harder, and Chu Mo finally felt a little relieved in his heart.

My father really has nothing to do, and he still planted an eyeliner next to me? She is a lowly prisoner of war, and she still wants to step on my head?

He seemed to be taking revenge on his father, in short, listening to the kowtow behind him, his heart was a lot more relaxed.

The candles flickered, and in the meditation room, there was only a rhythmic knock. Chu Mo only felt physically and mentally exhausted, last night in order to celebrate his father's departure from the palace, he played alone in the palace all night, and now a sleepiness hit, and his eyelids gradually became heavy.

He looked at the candlelight, his eyelids fighting.

After a while, Chu Mo fell on the table and took a nap.

I don't know how long it took for Chu Mo to slowly regain consciousness.

He hazely raised his eyes and saw that the candle flame in front of him was almost burning. Wiping the saliva from his mouth, the sound of knocking behind him came to his ears again.

Chu Mo was stunned for a moment, and before he had time to yawn, he turned his head and saw that Han Luyao was still kneeling on the ground, kowtowing rhythmically one by one.

"You wait a minute. Chu Mo said to her, "What time is it?"

When Han Luyao heard this, he stopped, his face fell to the ground, and said softly: "Back to Your Highness, it's been two hours." ”

Chu Mo was startled, stunned for a moment, and said, "You...... Put your head up. ”

Han Luyao slowly raised her head, her forehead was already bleeding, and red blood hung all over her face, flowing down her cheeks. The blood-covered eyes raised and looked at Chu Mo emotionlessly.

Chu Mo looked at her, his back was a little cold, and said, "You...... Knocked for two hours?"

"Yes, Your Highness. The young Han Luyao said lightly.

Chu Mo swallowed his saliva and turned back a little irritably, the scriptures on the table were basically restored.

Impatiently, he closed the text and said, "You...... You are indeed an idiot...... What if my father sees this......"

Han Luyao didn't seem to hear his words, and knelt quietly in place.

He frowned and thought for a while, then looked at Han Luyao again, becoming more and more irritable. He stood up, walked out the door, and said, "You come with me." ”

Han Luyao stood up obediently and followed him out of the meditation room.

"You go to the Imperial Doctor in a moment, and let them bandage you quickly. Chu Mo said as he walked, "You are really a scourge, remember, don't let my brother's fool see it, he will definitely talk nonsense." ”

Han Luyao lowered his head, followed him quickly, and said softly: "Your Highness......"

"What's wrong?" Chu Mo stopped, turned back to her and said angrily, "If you dare to sue me against my father, I will kill you immediately." Today's study time is over, don't follow me anymore. ”

"Your Highness......" Han Luyao looked at his toes, the blood on his forehead dripped on the ground, and said, "You should go to practice martial arts now." ”

Chu Mo rolled his eyes and scolded her angrily: "You are not annoyed, you don't practice, get out! Father and the emperor are not here now, why do you care about me so much?"

"But...... The emperor said......" Han Luyao said softly.

"Don't use him to press me, how old are you?" Chu Mo interrupted her words and said, "Since you are so free, after the bandaging is done for a while, you go to the palace and clean all the thatched houses for me!"

"Yes. The slave and the maid will go. Han Lu said remotely, and his voice was unwavering.

With that, she hurried away. Chu Mo looked at her back, a breath of air surged in his heart, and he kicked hard at the bookcase beside him.

A few days later.

Chanting the Great Canon.

In the Chu Palace, every once in a while, the national teacher Lu Chuan would gather all the children of the royal family together, recite the scriptures, and indicate the interpretation, which is a special school for the children of the nobles in the palace. Most of the young masters in it are princes and nobles, civil and military generals, and children of princes and grand dukes, and Chu Mo has the highest status among them, and he has an adult-like demeanor at a young age, and is supported by his peers as the leading boss.

And among these young masters, many of them are gentlemen. is used to calling the wind and rain outside, and the wildness in his heart can't be contained, and he is very disgusted by such a boring chanting ceremony, and Chu Mo is the first to bear it.

At the chanting ceremony, the king of Chu arranged for Han Luyao to also study with Lu Chuan, also to supervise the dissolute Chu Mo.

The ceremony is usually held once every seven days, and the venue is set in a quiet place of books, Hanlin Temple. Usually two days at a time. Chu Mo and a group of children sat together, listening to Lu Chuan's chewing words and reciting scriptures, feeling like sitting on pins and needles.

finally survived until the end of the ceremony, and before Lu Chuan left, Chu Mo sneaked out of the Hanlin Academy with his younger brother Chu Liusheng. At that time, Chu Liusheng was a head shorter than Chu Mo, and followed him all day long, becoming a loyal little follower.

Chu Mo held his cherished ball, and happily bypassed the main road around the Hanlin Courtyard, sneaking through the gardens in the palace.

"Brother Huang...... Brother Huang. Chu Liusheng had an idiotic smile on his face, followed him closely, and said, "Brother Huang, what are we going to play today?"

Chu Mo looked at him, raised his head proudly, turned the ball in his hand in a circle, and said: "I have learned a game from people outside the palace in the past few days, and now this is popular outside the palace, that is, throwing the ball into a hanging wooden circle, whoever throws more wins." ”

"Wow. Chu Liusheng grinned and said, "Brother Huang, Brother Huang...... I'm going to play too...... You teach me ......"

"Cut, fool, you're going to play this too? Don't worry, I'll take you somewhere first, and I'll teach you then." Chu Mo strode forward and said.

"Wait a minute. ”

Suddenly, a childish voice came from behind them, and the two stopped and looked back.

A young girl was standing behind them, with a high hairtie tied around her head, and her wide robes looked ill-fitting over her tiny body.

When Chu Mo saw her, he glanced at her, and said impatiently: "Eh, Shen Mengxi, why don't you stay in the Hanlin Academy and follow us honestly now?"

Chu Liusheng looked at him, hurriedly ran to Shen Mengxi's side, and said with a sneer: "Sister Mengxi, the imperial brother is planning to teach me to play ball, do you want to come? I have learned...... OK...... I can teach you. ”

Shen Mengxi ignored him, stared at Chu Mo and said, "No...... Classes haven't ended yet...... The National Teacher has not left yet...... You can't sneak. ”

Chu Liusheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and looked at Chu Mo at a loss.

"Make no mistake, my father is not here, and the national teacher is dizzy, how can he know if there are a few fewer people?

"No...... The emperor said...... You can't skip class...... Otherwise, otherwise Sister Lu Yao will come back and arrest you. Shen Mengxi pursed his lips and said to him angrily.

"Wow, I'm so scared. Chu Liusheng raised his chin and played with the ball in his hand, which didn't matter, "You let her catch me, a nameless slave who died in the country, don't think about plucking chicken feathers all day long." ”

Shen Mengxi listened to his angry words, he was stunned for a while, he didn't know what to say, so he simply stomped his feet and shouted back angrily: "Sister Lu Yao...... Prince, he snuck away again—"

The immature voice echoed in the woods, and Chu Liusheng looked at her and laughed stupidly.

Chu Mo subconsciously became anxious, and shouted at her, "What are you screaming about, even if she comes, what can you do?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint voice came from a tree behind him.

"His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Hearing this familiar tone, Chu Mo was startled, and the ball in his hand fell. He hurriedly turned around and saw Han Luyao's nightmarish figure standing under the tree, expressionless and looking at him indifferently.

"I ...... You...... When did you come here? Are you a ghost?" he said angrily to Han Luyao.

When Shen Mengxi saw her, her calves slumped and she ran to Han Luyao, pointed at him and said, "Sister Lu Yao, the prince...... The prince is going to sneak out again. ”

Seeing her making her own little report openly, Chu Mo closed his mouth hatefully and said goodbye as if nothing had happened.

"His Royal Highness the Prince. Han Luyao said lightly, "Now that the ceremony is not over yet, please return to the Hanlin Academy with me." ”

"I won't go back, what can you do with me?" Chu Mo's eyes widened and he said to her unceremoniously.

Han Luyao paused, and his voice was as calm as ever, without any waves.

Then the slave told the national teacher that His Highness had something to do and had left. ”

Chu Mo was taken aback and shouted at her: "Isn't it? Is it genetic? What's the point? Besides, even if I go back, the ceremony will be over in half an hour, is it necessary?"

"Then please ask Your Highness to stay in the Hanlin Courtyard for another half hour. Han Luyao looked at him and said, his eyes were so deep that he couldn't seem to see the bottom at a glance.

"You ......" Chu Mo's chest rose and fell with anger, pointed at her, and said angrily, "Okay, I'll stay for half an hour, if it weren't for my father's favor to you, like you, I would have ordered someone to cut it down a long time ago." ”
