Time flew by while immersed in the world of books. Mu Sheng rubbed his sore shoulders, straightened up, and looked out the window. It was almost dusk. He looked down again and saw that the bamboo slips were big and heavy. In this era, Reading is not only a mental job, but also a physical job.
Mu Sheng lamented in his heart, it would be great if there was paper. Not only was it easy to carry, but the book was also rich in content.
At this time, Mu Sheng looked up and saw that Yun'er was also holding the letter seriously and reading it with gusto. He couldn't help but be a little surprised. In this era, literacy is a luxury. Common people are basically illiterate. Unless they are born into an official family, most of the maids in the palace are illiterate. It seems that Yun'er's identity is not simple either...
Yun'er looked at the bamboo slips and suddenly felt a gaze staring at her. She raised her head and stuttered, "Mr...Mr.?"
"Yun'er, are you literate?"
Yun'er nodded silently and said, "Master, have you forgotten? I usually have slaves accompany you to study..."
Mu Sheng suddenly said, "Oh! I just want to know why you can't read and write? I just feel a little strange."
Yun'er put down the bamboo slips and was silent for a while. Of course she knew what he meant. "Sir, it's a long story."
Mu Sheng made a gesture of listening attentively, and Yun'er stood up, looked at the door, and then returned to the desk to talk about her life experience.
Yun'er brewed her emotions for a while before slowly speaking: "Sir, this servant is the youngest daughter of Zeng Yong, the official of the Yue Kingdom. Twelve years ago, the Yue Kingdom was destroyed, and the Crown Prince Sheng was killed. My father, a close confidant of the Crown Prince, wanted to take the Crown Princess with him. , that is, the wife fled. Later, in order to avoid being pursued by the Jin army, the crown prince was separated from her father. Later, the father, who was hiding in the mountains, heard that the crown princess had been kidnapped by the Jin army and was taken to the state of Jin. He was so anxious that he went to rescue him alone. Later... later …”
Speaking of this, Yun'er's voice was a little choked and she said, "Later, my father heard that the Crown Princess was sacrificed to Emperor Jin, who was the emperor today. My father knew that it was useless, so he found Mr. Zhao Chu Zhao."
"My father and Mr. Zhao were close friends in their early years. They worked together under Prince Sheng's sect. My father entrusted Mr. Zhao with his funeral affairs and said that he had betrayed the prince's trust, so he drew his sword and killed himself. Mr. Zhao felt that his father was loyal and loyal, so he went to the mountains in person. I welcomed my mother and two brothers here. After my mother gave birth to a slave, she also passed away because she missed my father..."
"This is what Master Zhao told me later. I have never seen my parents since I was born. Master Zhao is like a reincarnation for me. When I was six years old, Master Zhao sent me to the palace and later became my wife." My personal maid, Madam treats me as if she were my own child, and I was taught how to read and write by Madam herself..."
Thinking of the sad things in the past, Yun'er sobbed softly.
Mu Sheng's chest felt tight when he heard this. Seeing that Yun'er was made to cry, he hurried forward and hugged her tightly. He said firmly, "I'm here, Yun'er, I swear I will never let her go." Anyone who hurts you, we will be a family from now on."
In his heart, he felt deep sympathy for Yun'er's tragic life experience. There is a saying that goes like this: when the country is broken and the family is destroyed, only when there is a country can there be a family!
Yun'er felt the warm embrace of Gongzi Sheng, as if the child holding her had infinite power, and she gradually stopped sobbing.
"Sir, this slave has lost his temper."
"It doesn't matter..."
Mu Sheng watched Yun'er gradually calm down, then changed the subject and said, "Yun'er, let's go out of the palace and see the outside world. There should be a lot of fun things outside, right?"
Unexpectedly, Yun'er shook her head like a rattle and said, "Master, the palace is strictly forbidden. Unless the master opens a palace to build a dental palace, he will have more freedom. Even if the relatives living outside the palace visit, there is a time limit, and they have to stay at Zongzheng's house." Register, if we want to go out to visit relatives or have fun, we have to say hello and register in advance."
Mu Sheng was really speechless when he heard this, my God! Is it so troublesome to go out? Those scenes in movies and TV dramas where you can easily enter and exit the forbidden palace with a weak card are completely nonsense, aren't they?
Seeing Mu Sheng's expression of displeasure, Yun'er said, "Sir, next month is the Shangsi Hunting Yuan Festival. The emperor will hold a hunting conference at Ganlu Palace in Shanglin Garden. At that time, all the royal family members will participate in riding and shooting hunting. Shanglin Garden will also There are all kinds of rare beasts, but Master, you are still young and don’t need to participate in hunting activities. You can just watch them from the viewing platform, and then we can leave the palace."
"That's it."
Mu Sheng asked again, "Yun'er, didn't you say what you said last time, which sect's heavenly master knows magic? I want to broaden my horizons?"
Mu Sheng thought to himself, since I am a relative of the emperor, I have no worries about food and drink. Let's see if I can practice the art of flying to the sky and escaping from the earth. After I am successful in practicing, I will recruit some female disciples to practice double cultivation, hehe... From now on, I will live. A life without shame...hehe...
Yun'er said, "Oh! It's no problem, sir. There is a palace in the city where Lord Yuzhen Sect Tianshi specializes in training. He usually goes to the palace to teach the princes' martial arts."
"My servant also heard that when all the princes in the palace are about six years old, the Heavenly Master of the Yuzhen Sect will come to test their talents. If they pass the test, they will be taught the appropriate basic skills. However, there are very few people in this world who are suitable for practicing magic. , one in ten thousand.”
"Among the twenty-seven children of the Holy Emperor today, only the seventh prince, Young Master Zhe, and Young Master Sheng are the most suitable for training. Princes without talent can only teach martial arts."
"Sir, please wait a moment..."
Yun'er suddenly turned around and went to the study.
Mu Sheng thought to himself, so he still has this kind of talent? Can! Can! From now on, it would be nice to fly with a sword and become a free fairy.
Mu Sheng got carried away and made a middle-secondary pose with his right hand upwards. "Wahahahaha... I am the Braised Egg Superman from the M78 Nebula. Wahahaha... Watch the move... Dynamic Light Wave... Boop... Where are the monsters running..."
He danced for a while, and Mu Sheng suddenly felt that the surrounding environment had become particularly quiet.
Turning around, Yun'er and the two palace maids standing in the courtyard were petrified on the spot...
After a while, Yun'er suddenly came to her senses and ran over and touched his forehead to test whether he had lost his mind again...
Mu Sheng quickly took her hand away and said, "Yun'er, don't worry, I'm fine."
After hearing this, Yun'er still touched Mu Sheng's forehead without giving up. She didn't feel like she had a fever?
Yun'er looked worried and asked, "Sir, what happened to you just now? Did you scare me? Don't you get crazy like the third prince? If not, I have to find Dr. Li to take a look again..."
Mu Shengxin said, Third Prince? Young Master Kang? Crazy? No wonder the prince is the fourth brother. The heir to the empire must at least be a sane person.
Mu Sheng quickly took Yun'er's little hand and explained, "I'm really not sick, I'm just a little carried away. Listen to me, I'm really not crazy."
He quickly spun around, walked a few steps, and said, "Look, it's really okay..."
Yun'er stared at Mu Sheng suspiciously for a long time, until white hairs of sweat broke out on his forehead.
Upon seeing this, Mu Sheng quickly diverted her attention and said, "Yun'er, what were you doing in the study just now?"
Yun'er came back to her senses after hearing the words. She held a beautifully decorated box and said, "Oh! My slave went to the study to get the cultivation method that Daochang Li gave to the young master at that time. Although the young master used to be troublesome and didn't like to read, he was still interested in practicing magic. Very caring.”
Seeing this, Mu Sheng quickly took the box and opened it, only to see a rolled-up silk book inside.
Warring States silk script? Good guy, in the pre-Qin era, only very important documentary records were usually written in silk books, and ordinary people couldn't afford them.
The silk book felt very silky and pleasant to the touch. He opened the silk book carefully and saw that the content in the silk book looked very much like a human body meridian diagram, which seemed paradoxical at first glance.
There were also some very strange patterns on the silk book, which he couldn't understand. In some places, there was a short paragraph of text that was obscure and difficult to understand. There wasn't much content in it. It was mainly just some very strange pictures with a short description.
Mu Sheng turned over and over, holding it forward and backward, but he couldn't understand it, and the text inside was very primitive. At first glance, it looked like something handed down from ancient times. It was very different from the current writing system. It could be seen that there were still some connections between them. , after looking at it for a long time, he could only guess a small part of it, and couldn't understand the context at all...
Mu Sheng raised his head in confusion and asked, "Yun'er, do you understand?"
Yun'er took the silk book and read it with a frown for a long time, then read it to him stutteringly. The content sounded like a spell, which made Mu Sheng look confused.
Yun'er frowned and said, "Young Master, this is a memorial to the great witch ancestor in ancient times. Although I know the words in it, I can't understand what it means. Didn't Master Li teach you?"
Fortunately, Yun'er at least knows a few of them, and is much better than herself...
Mu Sheng could only explain awkwardly, "I have completely forgotten about it since I recovered from the illness."
"Sir, I will invite Master Li to teach me tomorrow."
"Huh? Little Celestial Master Li?"
Yun'er explained, "Sir, it's like this. Little Tianshi Li is a direct disciple of Tianshi Li and the permanent representative of Yuzhen Sect in the palace. If you want to invite a Tianshi-level monk, you have to say hello and make an appointment in advance. These old gods are usually in the mountains. He is practicing in the old forest, and his whereabouts are so erratic that only the disciples of his sect can find him, even if he is summoned by the emperor."
"Oh, that's how it is?"
When Mu Sheng heard this, he had to suppress his strong curiosity. What was wrong with him? Are you so old and still so unsure?
Just now, you didn’t even realize that you were calling yourself Braised Egg Superman?
Maybe it's because he is still a child now. He is active, playful and full of energy. Mu Sheng smiled bitterly and shook his head...
It was dusk in the outskirts of Qingyang City.
By the Qingshui River on the outskirts of Qingyang City in the capital, a fisherman wearing a raincoat was standing motionless by the river holding a fishing rod and wearing a large bamboo hat, so his face could not be seen clearly.
After a while, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance. The two rode their horses one after the other, then dismounted and walked along the river bank while chatting, slowly approaching where the fisherman was, intentionally or unintentionally.
When they arrived at the fisherman's place, the leader walked forward alone and stood by the river. The followers who came with him stood in the distance as if to protect the safety of the visitor. The visitor did not look at the fisherman next to him, nor did he speak. , seemed to be considering the words in his mind.
At this time, the fisherman said first, "The owner of the village is here. Are you okay?"
When the visitor heard this, he joked, "Mr. Zhao is really just a fisherman. Anyone who wishes will take the bait."
The fisherman slowly raised his head when he heard this. It was Lord Zhao Chu Zhao of the Shaofu.
Zhao Chu said, "You and I have experienced the skills of the Tsing Yi envoy, so we have to be careful."
The visitor did not answer the call, and obviously agreed with what the fisherman said.
The fisherman seemed to be thinking about something. After being silent for a while, he suddenly said, "Your Majesty's health has not been as good as before since he came to tour east."
This sentence sounded like a bolt from the blue in the visitor's mind, but he still calmed down and responded calmly, "Is this true?"
Zhao Chu still stared at the fish float in the water motionlessly and said, "I have been walking on thin ice by your Majesty's side for so many years. How can I still deceive you?"
Then Zhao Chu paused and said, "After today's court meeting, your Majesty summoned Cui Xiangguo to enter the palace for a solo duet. The prince is the grandson-in-law of Cui Lao Xiangguo. At this critical moment, it is very likely that your majesty wants to hand over power to the prince in advance." , if what I have predicted is correct, after the palace moving ceremony, the current emperor will practice in Taiji Palace, and I am afraid that the state affairs will have to be entrusted to Cui Xiangguo and the prince."
The owner of Qiushui Village nodded and said, "Yes! Old Zhao, you came to me today just for this matter, right?"
Zhao Chu sighed and said, "There is a big thing that I am afraid I won't be able to accomplish with my own strength. I have to conspire with you..."
Upon hearing this, the village owner's eyes flashed and he came forward to listen to the big event that Zhao Chu had to say. Once such a big event was spoken, it meant that he would be involved in it involuntarily.
After hearing the conspiracy of young master Zhao Chu, the village owner's expression changed slightly and said, "Old Zhao! Old Zhao, you are more desperate than me. How dare you think of such earth-shattering things? You really belong to me."
Zhao Chu smiled slightly and said, "How about it? Will the owner of the village be willing to leave his family and business to conspire with me, Mr. Zhao?"
The owner of the village laughed and said, "Why don't you dare? If you can succeed, it will be a worthwhile trip in this world."
Zhao Chu smiled and said, "Okay! It's settled..."
