When the sky is bright, it's time to take the water from the basin and pour it on your face.
The cold water jolted him, and his mind became clearer.
"Oh, Your Highness, why do you wash your face with cold water? Where's Xiao Anzi? You didn't even do this little thing well. Damn it!" A white-faced and beardless eunuch walked over quickly, bowed his head and apologized.
Eunuch Chen.
A name appeared in Ying Shaoguang's mind, and he had an inexplicable distant feeling. Maybe it was because he was confused from practicing the talisman skills last night.
A sarcastic smile appeared on his lips. Eunuch Chen is a sweet-faced man with a bitter heart. He usually speaks impeccably, but in his heart he doesn't take the third prince seriously at all.
Who said his father didn't like him? There is no benefit in trying to please him.
"It has nothing to do with him, I didn't call him." Ying Shaoguang replied calmly and asked, "When will the assessment start? Have the immortal masters arrived?"
"My slave is about to say this." Eunuch Chen said with a smile on his face, "The immortal masters have arrived at the Taoist Hall. Your Highnesses, please come over."
Ying Shaoguang nodded and wiped his face carefully. Xiao Anzi hurried in and arranged his clothes before going to the Taoist Hall.
When he got there, he found another group of people. Judging from their clothes, they were not palace servants or eunuchs, but more like the queens of noble families.
"who are they?"
Eunuch Chen smiled and replied: "They are disciples of the Taoist Academy. Some of them have been selected. The immortal master was kind enough to allow them to come and observe."
"Oh." Ying Shaoguang nodded, glanced at those people, and felt doubts in his heart. Some of them look familiar. Have you seen them before?
Those people were not afraid of him, and one girl even smiled at him.
This smile made Ying Shaoguang feel even more awkward. He stared at the other person several times until everyone else noticed.
"Third brother, it's love at first sight, right? In fact, it doesn't matter. If you are selected, your father will definitely allow you to bring your escort there. Won't you get what you want?"
The one who spoke was the second prince, and he never got along well with him.
The fifth prince, who was close to the second prince, responded: "I thought that third brother's eyes were higher than his head, and he didn't have such worldly thoughts. It turned out that he could look at girls without blinking!"
"After all, he's not young anymore!" The second prince chuckled, "However, the third brother's eyesight is average. I think the one next to him looks better."
"Second brother, you don't understand. You can't tell for sure about eye rims. Maybe third brother likes it like this!"
The two sang together, causing the princes to burst into laughter, while the princesses watched the fun.
There was no smile on Ying Shaoguang's face. He also felt that his mentality was a bit strange. Usually when his brothers said this, he was still angry in his heart even if he didn't show it on his face, but today he didn't care at all and even wanted to laugh.
What shit is worth getting angry about? The assessment is the big deal. If you pass it, you can go to Danxia Palace. If you succeed in cultivation in the future, who cares about the things in the world?
However, that girl looks really familiar, as well as the two people beside her...
Ying Shaoguang couldn't help but take another look.
He didn't respond, and the second and fifth princes were not interested, so they changed their attention and gathered together to whisper.
"Second brother, are you sure?"
"I'm okay with Taoism, but I'm not sure about Talismanism."
"The third brother is still the best at talismans. Will he really come out on top this time?"
The other princes looked at each other and didn't say anything for a while. In fact, they know that this possibility is very high, and the difference in qualifications is too obvious. From the time when Qi is introduced into the body, Ying Shaoguang is the one who makes rapid progress.
I am really unwilling to do so. If the third child is really allowed to go to Danxia Palace and become a baby in the future, the entire Jing Kingdom will become his vassal, and they all will have to look up to him.
The eldest prince, who had remained silent the whole time, snorted and glanced over with contempt.
A few idiots who want to bully the third child but are afraid that he will rise to power. He didn't even think that if his father really valued the third child, he would have sent him to the Xuanbing Palace long ago, just like the seventh sister.
He looked to the other side. The seventh princess was standing
Between sisters, calmness prevails. She is the most talented among her brothers and sisters, except for Ying Shaoguang, and someone from her maternal grandfather's family is in the Xuanbing Palace and has been taught by a famous teacher since she was a child. She has great hopes today.
Not long after, Emperor Yuan Feng came with the immortal masters.
The princes and princesses immediately calmed down and became extremely well-behaved.
Ying Shaoguang looked at his father's back with complicated emotions in his heart.
His father was not very kind to him and seldom interfered with his affairs. But occasionally, his father would call him over, just look at him quietly, and then ask someone to send him away later.
He heard that his mother was his father's favorite concubine when he was alive, so he understood that his father wanted to find traces of his mother on his face. But his mother died giving birth to him, and his father was still very worried.
When Ying Shaoguang was a child, he had hoped that his father would one day be able to let go and show some paternal love to him. As he grew older, he gradually lost hope. Some things just don’t exist, and it’s useless to think about them. Besides, he is going to be an immortal king in the future, how can he stick to the world of mortals?
Thinking of this, his heart became hot. Danxia Palace, as long as he shows enough strength, his father has no reason to stop him, right?
"Let's begin!" the immortal master said.
So the princes and princesses, under the auspices of the Taifu, took the Taoist test, dismantled the talisman formations, and demonstrated the magic...
After Ying Shaoguang finished demonstrating the technique, he felt a little proud when he heard the exclamations from around him.
He knew that he had good aptitudes since he was a child. After learning a little bit of Taoism, he could immediately draw parallels. Cultivation is progressing by leaps and bounds. It would take others a month to see progress, but he would see a noticeable difference in a day or two. Even if Qimei laid the foundation in Xuanbing Palace, she couldn't learn as fast as him. ..
He is bound to win today's assessment. If he can't go to Danxia Palace, who else can go?
Look, the immortal masters looked at him with surprise. They were sure of themselves now, right?
After the assessment, the two immortal masters and Emperor Yuan Feng went inside to discuss.
The second prince said dullly: "It's over, I think the third child is really going to be chosen."
The fifth prince also had a grimace on his face: "How come he learns so quickly? I don't even know how to do that technique, but he already..."
The two of them glanced at Ying Shaoguang and didn't dare to be weird. The third brother was obviously going to fly high. From now on...
After a while, the door of the bookstore opened.
The princes and princesses immediately fell silent.
Ying Shaoguang looked over expectantly. Win the election, let him win the election. After going to Danxia Palace, these messy things in the world will no longer have anything to do with him.
The immortal masters glanced at each other and said, "Today's assessment is over, and the person who passed is - the Seventh Princess!"
? ? ?
Everyone was stunned. The seventh princess, how could she be the seventh princess? Although she performed very well, she was far behind the Third Prince!
Ying Shaoguang's face turned pale and he looked towards Emperor Yuan Feng.
His father looked indifferent and didn't even look at him.
"Boom -" The sun was shining brightly all around, but a thunder sounded in Ying Shaoguang's heart.
He couldn't go to Danxia Palace. It was his father who vetoed the matter.
His father didn't want him to go, and would rather cut off his path.
Why? Why--
The storm in the sky suddenly changed, and the thunder in his heart exploded in the outside world. The sky quickly turned dark, with dark clouds and turbulent black air.
This change shocked everyone else present.
"Third Brother!" the eldest prince shouted, but the next moment, his figure paused, turned into mist, and gradually faded away.
Among the people watching, Ji Xingge was shocked: "What happened?"
Bai Mengjin suddenly thought: "No! He has aroused the inner demon!"
