On this day, they came to the edge of a lake. The source of this lake may have come from a certain spiritual spring, resulting in a slight aura in the lake, and there are many huge lotus flowers growing on the surface of the lake, which covers half of the lake, which is quite beautiful and magnificent.

The group dispersed to rest, and Huang Zhao immediately ran away again—she was always hanging out with her two newfound "sisters" now. Although she can't learn any serious kung fu, she can grasp a lot of information about the "fashion circle" and "popular circle" of noble women in the small talk and various gossip, which can be regarded as improving her quality as a "lady", which is not taught to her by the family.

And Huang Chang took the time to point out the martial arts of Chen Xue's two children for a while, the martial arts practiced by these two young men are family traditions, but the grades are not high - the Chen family is a businessman, and it has only been accumulated for one or two generations, and there are no outstanding exercises. Xue's background is slightly better, but it is also limited. Huang Chang estimated that these two families might also be part of their own forces in the future, so he generously chose a suitable one from the Western Kunlun martial arts to teach them - the Kunlun faction has a relatively tight control over the Xianmen method, and it is not allowed to spread it indiscriminately. For mortal martial arts exercises are not so strict, these martial arts exercises are all "miscellaneous learning" on Kunlun Mountain, and the location is the "Library Pavilion" rather than the "Scripture Pavilion".

After helping the two boys correct a few movements, and arranging a set of exercises and boxing homework for them to complete seriously, Huang Chang stood up and walked around everywhere. When I came to a secluded place, I first heard the sound of lapping on the water. After bypassing a large area of reeds, I saw a slender woman sitting on the bluestone by the lake, holding a jade grate, combing her long black and beautiful hair like a cloud. Just looking at the movements of her upper body, she is gentle and quiet, but if her eyes are lowered slightly, you can see that the soles of her feet are like children, crackling and splashing.

Hearing someone coming, the woman raised her head in a panic, but it was Flawless - this time she was not wearing a veil. Although Huang Chang had seen her face before, he still felt quite "amazing" at the moment. On the one hand, this is because her own complexion is indeed outstanding. On the other hand, it is also because she is shy and blushing at the moment and is really cute - it is rare to be naughty, but she is seen, it is hard to imagine that this "goddess" who usually puts on a cold temperament will actually show her childish side.

Huang Chang was also a little embarrassed by this, and it would be too deliberate to retreat at this moment, so he stood still as if nothing had happened, and snorted:

“...... It's a nice day. ”

- At the beginning of the standard awkward conversation, Huang Chang's plan was to retreat after a few perfunctory words, but Ji Wufang didn't seem to have much experience in this area, and after hearing this, he actually looked up at the sky.

"Oh no, it's gloomy and it looks like it's going to rain. ”

Huang Chang was helpless, so he had to be patient and gossip with her. But this time it was quite speculative - maybe I felt that I had lost face anyway, and there was no need to be so cautious, and I felt a lot more relaxed between my flawless words, and I was no longer as serious as before, and finally showed the nature of a girl of this age.

After feeling that the relationship between them had become a little closer, Huang Chang finally couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and tentatively asked her what the purpose of that strange cultivation method was?

There must be a reason for adopting such an unreasonable cultivation method, and maybe it's still some great secret. Huang Chang was ready for the other party to refuse to answer or even get angry about it. But Ji Wufang did not keep it secret, and after a moment of hesitation, he still responded in a low voice:

"I am the one to be chosen. ”

A headless sentence may not be understood if someone else changes, but Huang Chang immediately understood that Ji Wuflaw is a contemporary "Bao Xi" specially cultivated by the Ji family, and is ready to be sent to the harem of the Great Zhou Emperor. He knew this before, but he never thought about it deeply.

However, at this moment, after hearing Ji Wufang himself talk about this, he immediately remembered a rule that he had heard Ji Ruo say before - in the harem of the Great Zhou Emperors of the past dynasties, there were absolutely no demon clans and immortal cultivators and concubines.

It is said that this is a lesson learned from the Yin Shang Dynasty - Emperor Xin, the last king of the Yin Shang Dynasty, favored Daji alone, causing the country to overturn. And Da Ji has the blood of the Heavenly Fox Demon Clan, and he is also a cultivator, and no one can control the harem with immortal magic and Taoism. After the Zhou Dynasty became a Shang dynasty, it strictly guarded against this aspect - among the members of the harem of the Great Zhou Emperor, there were absolutely no immortal cultivators and demon clans.

As the lord of the princes of the world, presiding over the highest point of power in the mortal world, it is impossible for the palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty to be completely insulated from immortal cultivators. As long as the children of the Ji clan are talented, whether they are boys or girls, they will try their best to let them embark on the path of immortality. Those in the family who can become immortal cultivators can also be reused, which is no different from many immortal cultivators in the world.

However, in order to increase the possibility of future generations having the talent of cultivating immortals, the heads of ordinary immortal cultivation clans are often eager to marry female cultivators if they have the opportunity. This is not the case with the lord of the Ji clan - the head of the Ji family, that is, the spouse of the Emperor of the Great Zhou, even if it is the queen of the main palace, she can only be selected from among mortals, and it is strictly forbidden to practice immortal arts, otherwise she will be severely punished.

Huang Chang remembered that he used to read a lot of books on Kunlun Mountain, and he once read such a historical record - a certain generation of Zhou Wang was very talented, and he was also very dedicated to women. Soon after ascending the throne, the queen was ordained, and his sister-in-law was also made the crown prince early, and there has been no change for decades. Although there are occasional other concubines who are favored, the queen's position has always been very stable.

Everyone thought that this stable pattern would continue forever, but there were unforeseen circumstances - for some reason, rumors suddenly spread in the court that the queen was secretly cultivating the Dao and trying to frame her opponent with "witchcraft". This led to a series of court struggles. The final outcome was extremely tragic: the queen was forced to commit suicide, and the crown prince, who had been canonized for many years and had already fledgling wings, had to rebel. Donggong Wei led a great battle with the Son of Heaven's army in the capital, and suffered countless casualties. In the end, it was the power of the Son of Heaven that prevailed, and the prince was captured and executed after his defeat and escape.

However, although this palace struggle was divided into winners and losers, there was no real winner - the emperor, who was forced to die his wife and children, was both painful and remorseful, and successively issued edicts for his crimes, built a Wangqing platform, and meditated on the womb to mourn his deceased relatives. None of the palace servants who had come out to denounce the queen before, as well as the ministers who sowed discord during the emperor's father-son fight, not only were all tortured to death, but also affected their families, and they were all punished by the clan, and tens of thousands of people were implicated and killed, which was much more severe than the killing of the prince when he rebelled before.
