Chapter Forty-Nine: The Master's Move
When Mu Chunyang walked to the second prince's side, the second prince slapped Mu Chunyang's shoulder heavily, and then said with a smile: "Good boy, there are two brushes, do you know how powerful Wu Yue is? Wu Yue is the best in the out-of-body realm, although it is only the out-of-body realm, but even many people who are high-grade in the out-of-body realm are not his opponents, and his hurricane knife is the best in the immortal weapons, even in this way he is not your opponent, Brother Mu, you are really powerful." Hahaha. At the beginning, he kept refusing, which made Wu Yue float. ”
Mu Chunyang scratched the back of his head, smiled awkwardly, and then nodded to Wu Yue with a smile. Wu Yue is also a straightforward person, smiling politely back.
Everyone chatted for a long time in the martial arts arena, and a few people had a discussion, but they were all trying their hands, and it was all over in an hour, everyone was sweating, but most of their faces were full of hearty looks.
When the others finished sparring, the second prince said: "Today my imperial brother is back, and a few of our brothers are going to wash the dust for the imperial brother, why don't you go with me, and have a few drinks with your brothers today, how about it." ”
Mu Chunyang didn't want to go, after all, they were all children of the royal family, and he was a mountain child who grew up in a poor countryside, and it was really difficult to integrate into this group of people, and he was about to say that he couldn't go, and when there was something else, everyone said in unison: "Okay, it's my honor to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the eldest prince together, how can I refuse." ”
Almost everyone except Mu Chunyang wanted to go, so the second prince said: "Okay, since you want to go, then come with me." ”
Before Mu Chunyang could speak, everyone decided to go together, even if Mu Chunyang didn't want to go, he couldn't do it, after all, if he said he didn't want to go, he hit everyone in a row, the second prince and the face of the eldest prince, this kind of simple way of life Mu Chunyang still understands, no way, then go.

After leaving the barracks, they arrived at the palace after a short while, although each of these people is the descendants of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but there are still many people who have never entered the palace, as for Mu Chunyang, it is naturally the first time to enter the palace.
Although the decoration of the Prime Minister's Mansion is very exquisite, but compared with this palace, it is still worse than dozens of Minister's Mansions, this palace alone is set to sit on the upper half of the medium-sized city, the palace is surrounded by the city wall that can not see the edge at a glance, and this city wall is as high as ten meters, the moat that is more than ten miles long surrounds the palace and there is a city gate from afar, there is a city gate written on it, it is said that there is a city gate in the east, west and south directions of the palace, respectively, the green dragon gate, the white tiger gate, the Vermilion Bird gate.
Mu Chunyang followed the second prince from the Xuanwu Gate into the palace, the first place in the palace is very strict, this Xuanwu Gate is guarded by nearly a thousand people, although Mu Chunyang can't see the cultivation of these people, but the feeling to Mu Chunyang is not much different from Wu Yue, that is to say, these nearly 1,000 people are almost out of the realm of cultivation, it can be seen how terrifying the strength is.
The palace city wall is divided into two layers, Mu Chunyang and his party have just entered the first layer of the city wall, and there are hundreds of guards on the second floor, and the guards on this layer are even more terrifying, and the aura emitted is comparable to that of the second prince, and it seems to be more than that.
After the second city wall, what catches your eye is a majestic palace, which is written with three golden glittering big characters "Hanyuan Palace", this Hanyuan Hall is located on the pedestal of three meters high, and the whole hall is four zhang higher than the flat ground. Looking from afar, Hanyuan Hall is backed by the blue sky, tall and majestic, and intimidating. It is said that the emperor listened to the government in the Hanyuan Hall and could overlook the Tai'an City at his feet. There are three "dragon tail roads" in front of the hall, which are the steps from the ground to the main hall. Longwei Road is divided into three layers, there are bluestone railings on both sides, the upper railing is engraved with a claw head pattern, and the middle and lower railings are engraved with lotus patterns, these two water symbols are used to dispel fire.
The Xuanzheng Hall behind the Hanyuan Hall is the place where the emperor meets the ministers and listens to the government every day. There are doors in the east and west corridors of the Xuanzheng Palace, the east is the Rihua Gate, the west is the Yuehua Gate, and outside the door is the government office and the history museum and the academy. The purple gold hall after the Hanyuan Hall is the emperor's palace. The emperor could receive important or close ministers in the palace and handle government affairs. Working in the hall can avoid many of the etiquette of working in the Xuanzheng Palace. After the Zichen Palace, there are large scattered palace groups, and the emperor can play and live at will.
After three palaces in a row, at this time came to the center of the palace, at this time a tower of more than 30 meters appeared in the sight of everyone, this tower has seven floors, in the shape of an awl, when seen from the front because it is blocked by the tall palace, so only a spire can be seen, so Mu Chunyang did not pay too much attention, when he saw this tower Mu Chunyang was a little shocked and dropped his jaw, it is really not Mu Chunyang turtle, I have never seen the world, it is really this tower is too luxurious, this tower can not see anything from afar, but if you look carefully, there will definitely be some surprise, because this entire tower is built by white jade, which really confirms a word"Carved fence jade", this tower is completely made of jade, although this is the palace, but it is not so wealthy. As for the name of this tower, the second prince simply said that it was called: "Bai Yujing", but it did not introduce the role.
————
After Bai Yujing, then arrived at the emperor's majesty's bedroom, the emperor's bedroom is the largest, and then on both sides is a series of concubine bedrooms, and after a short while, finally arrived at the prince's bedroom, although it is a person's bedroom, but there are more than ten houses as big, pavilions and pavilions have everything.
There were originally thirty or forty people in the eldest prince's bedroom, it was estimated that they were the guests brought by the eldest prince's friends and the third prince, and after Mu Chunyang came in, the group of people smiled politely at Mu Chunyang and the others, and then they were speechless.
Before the eldest prince arrived, everyone sat down under the arrangement of the second prince and waited for the arrival of the eldest prince.
Everyone sat quietly on the seat, but they didn't wait for the eldest prince for a long time, although everyone was waiting quietly on the surface, but many people were very irritable in their hearts, and even the third prince came to the second prince's side and asked: "Second brother, why hasn't the eldest brother come yet, it's been waiting for him for almost an hour." ”
The second prince replied: "Who knows, just wait, it's estimated to be coming soon." Although the second prince said so, to be honest, he was a little anxious about waiting.
It was getting dark, at this time, the eldest prince walked in from outside the door without hurrying, and the eldest prince did not explain to everyone, but walked directly to the main seat, although everyone was very dissatisfied, but no matter how dissatisfied, they were princes, they couldn't show it, they could only endure it.
After the eldest prince sat down, the harem ladies walked in and poured wine and served food for the guests, and the eldest prince didn't talk nonsense, just picked up the chopsticks and ate them, completely ignoring everyone.
The second prince coughed a few times, meaning that he hoped that the eldest prince would say something to these guests, which would mean simply, but the eldest prince didn't hear it at all, and turned a deaf ear, the second prince was a little embarrassed, and finally the second prince got up and said: "Today, the eldest brother will be in the capital, and there must be a lot of affairs, so it was delayed for a while, but it doesn't matter, let's raise a glass and celebrate the return of the eldest brother." ”
Saying that, the second prince raised his glass, and all the guests got up and raised their glasses to wish the eldest prince to return to Beijing, but this time it was okay, although the eldest prince was arrogant, but he had stayed in this palace for so long, and he also knew the etiquette, sat on the seat, raised his glass, and meant it.
Among these people, Mu Chunyang is probably the most disgusted with the eldest prince, but he still has to deal with it, he raised his glass hypocritically, and then drank the glass of wine like eating rat poison. And then there was no follow-up.
The eldest prince has always been arrogant, making the atmosphere a little stiff, but fortunately, there are two princes, the second prince felt that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, so he made a start, and chatted with everyone about poetry, calligraphy and painting.
Mu Chunyang sat on the seat and drank wine, quietly looking at everything in front of him, after all, these people are all famous nobles, and they have been taught by erudite Confucianism since childhood, so it is normal to be talented, Mu Chunyang grew up in the countryside, and when he went to school, he only wanted to read and break words, and he didn't learn for a few years, and he almost didn't learn the words, and now he can only understand a general idea on this occasion.
Suddenly, the voice of the third prince sounded: "I remember that there is a little brother here who seems to be quite literate, some time ago after the end of the Confucian sacrifice ceremony, the wine sacrifice master explained the plaque in the Confucian temple, and when everyone discussed what the last plaque should be, one person gave the wine sacrifice Lord a more satisfactory answer, I remember the right words seem to be called Mu Chunyang, right? I don't know who the little brother is?"
Hearing this, Mu Chunyang was stunned for a moment, and the guests who came with him looked at Mu Chunyang with an incredible expression, and the third prince also looked at Mu Chunyang, but there was a trace of disdain in his eyes, and the third prince said: "It seems that it is you, this little brother should be brilliant, otherwise it would not be recognized by the Lord of the Sacrificial Wine." ”
Mu Chunyang wanted to say that it was his own nonsense, and he didn't understand it at all, but it was estimated that he would offend a lot of people by saying this, so he said politely: "My husband once talked about the content of the Confucian Temple that day, and my husband has a deep study of the way of Confucianism, so I can say that the words that were approved by the Lord of the Sacrificial Wine are completely because Mr. has said it, so it can only be regarded as a coincidence, but I am still a shallow learner, and I have never learned the fur of Mr., so forget about the right thing to chant poetry, I am afraid of polluting your ears." ”
However, the third prince seemed to recognize Mu Chunyang, and he had to hold on: "Little brother Mu Chunyang is modest, since your husband can be so proficient in the way of Confucianism, I don't know which great Confucian your husband is." ”
To be honest, the master taught him for six or seven years, but he really didn't know what the master's name was, everyone in the town called him master, and no one knew the name.
Mu Chunyang is not a scripture, and replied: "Mr. Zhuang Qiu of Handan City may not be famous, after all, Mr. Zhuang Qiu has lived in Handan City for many years, and outsiders naturally rarely know about it. ”
The third prince is not a stupid person, and his ability to play by the topic must be very strong, so he nodded and said: "It turned out to be a student of Mr. Zhuang Qiu, the first Confucian in Handan City, no wonder, no wonder, I am also lucky, Mr. Zhuang Qiu came to the capital to give a lecture, and I have also heard Mr. Zhuang Qiu's teachings, which is simply a Confucian saint in the world." "It's all made up, but I still make a memory and say it as if it's true.
Then the third prince looked at Mu Chunyang and said: "Since it is Mr. Zhuang Qiu's apprentice, it is naturally impossible to be an idle person, I have also heard of Mr. Zhuang Qiu's request to accept disciples, if he can't export the person who is a chapter, he will not accept it, so Mu Chunyang little brother, you don't have to be modest, you can compose a poem." ”
Mu Chunyang's brain is a black line, he is a big fool, he didn't expect these three princes to be more able to make up, it seems that these three princes are determined to pit themselves.
