The next day, after leaving the inner hall, Mu Sheng changed into a powerful outfit and went directly to the wing where Hua Zilan lived and asked her to come out and practice together in the martial arts field.
Hua Zilan worked as a bodyguard during the war and as a sparring partner in normal times.
At this time, Hua Zilan stood in the center of the martial arts arena, taking out her swords with sharp eyes. The entire martial arts arena seemed to be enveloped by her aura.
Mu Sheng looked at her proud figure and seemed to be back in the Qucheng Granary in a trance. The green-robed female devil rushed towards them with two swords like a murderer...
Seeing her charging towards her, Mu Sheng raised his sword to hold Hua Zilan's swords. Although she only used 40% of her strength, Mu Sheng still felt that the tiger's mouth was shaking. As expected, the gap in physical strength was indeed too big. .
It seemed that the last time I used my natural talent, the Tiantian Xin Lei, to defeat her, it was a fluke. My own strength was still unable to compete with the Heavenly Master-level monks.
At this time, Hua Zilan turned around and held the sword in her right hand, which turned into a fire whip and bypassed Mu Sheng's block and struck to the left. Upon seeing this, Mu Sheng hurriedly moved to the right and spread his body, but he could barely avoid it.
Mu Sheng stepped back and distanced himself, chanting a spell silently. He took out three flying knives from his arms and turned his hand into seven cyan afterimages to hit Hua Zilan. Hua Zilan's fire whip turned into two swords again and knocked away the flying knives one by one. hidden weapon.
There is no other way. In Mu Sheng's current state, the only spell he can use is to cast hidden weapons...
Mu Sheng took the opportunity to bully him forward and struck Hua Zilan's heart with his sword. She reacted very quickly and blocked Mu Sheng's killing blow with one sword strike. The sword in her left hand turned into a fire whip and hit Mu Sheng's chest.
Mu Sheng hurriedly returned his sword to block, only to feel his chest being hit and he took seven or eight steps back before he could stand still. He retracted his sword to signal to stop, and Hua Zilan also retracted his sword with an embarrassed look on his face.
Hua Zilan's fire whip technique can be soft or hard, the attack angle is extremely tricky, and the usual moves are extremely difficult to defend. He is worthy of being a descendant of the Yun Hua Sect.
Hua Zilan said, "Master, the force I used just now was a bit too strong. Is it okay with you?"
Mu Sheng waved his hand and waited for the surging energy and blood in his body to calm down before saying, "It seems that your cultivation has improved a lot recently. I am not an enemy of Yihe at all. You will be by my side to protect us when we go to the trade, and I will also I feel more at ease..."
"Master, the trade fair in Xiangcheng will be held in half a month. By then, I will definitely protect you."
Just as Mu Sheng was about to pat her shoulder and tell her to do it well, he suddenly realized that she was a lesbian, so he had to retract his hand in embarrassment and said with all his strength, "Feng Jiu, if you have anything of interest at the auction this time, just tell me." explain."
Hua Zilan nodded happily.
At this time, an eunuch quickly ran over and saluted Mu Sheng and said, "Master, someone is coming from the palace..."
Mu Sheng frowned when he heard this. Three days ago, he handed over the gold medal and wanted to enter the palace to meet the saint. It was not until today that he received the news. He left the martial arts arena to greet the people in the palace.
When Mu Sheng came to the front yard, he saw only three eunuchs from the palace, followed by more than a dozen guards.
The eunuch who was the leader of the edict came forward and bowed to Mu Sheng and made a great salute: "Jun Changping, my servant Yang Liu, on the order of Eunuch Lu, the general manager of the inner court, has come to welcome Jun Changping to the Taiji Palace to see your majesty. .”
Mu Sheng stretched out his hand to help him, and said with a smile, "Eunuch Yang, please excuse me. I'm going to freshen up and enter the palace to meet the emperor."
In the inner room, Mu Sheng wiped his sweat, and Yun'er changed his clothes and straightened his clothes.
Mu Sheng originally wanted Xixue to help him wear formal clothes. After all, he was going to the palace. In this era, the wide robes with big sleeves and three layers on the outside were particularly troublesome to wear. He really couldn't do it alone.
He watched Yun'er busy and put on the last brocade robe on Mu Sheng. Seeing that she had finished her work, Mu Sheng helplessly pressed Yun'er's hand and said, "Let Xixue do this from now on." Just be busy, you, there are so many things in the house that you, the housekeeper, need to take care of, so you don’t have to do such small things yourself."
When Yun'er heard this, she immediately drooped her eyebrows and pouted, with a sad look on her face: "Young Master has a new love and has forgotten his old one. Do you dislike Yun'er, Young Master? You can only come out of the palace like me for this kind of thing." Only those who know how to dress well are very particular about how to dress. How could a country woman like her know so many rules..."
After saying this, Yun'er looked like she was about to cry.
Seeing her like this, Mu Sheng comforted her softly, "Yun'er, I didn't mean to despise you. How could I despise you? My mother passed away early. You and I have been dependent on each other for so many years since we were young. You are more important to me than Mount Tai." It’s even more important. I mean just leave such small things to Xixue. Now that I have a woman, I just want her to share more of the things in the house. Xixue has just entered the house. There are many rules in this house. You, the housekeeper, need to train her a lot and she will understand. I am doing this for your own good."
After hearing this, Yun'er's mood improved a little, but she still shook her head like a rattle and said, "No! It's my responsibility to take care of the young master's daily life, how can I hand it over to others so easily? If the young master really doesn't want to let me go, I have taken care of you. I will ask the young master to let me out of the house tomorrow. I will never complain..."
At this point, Yun'er looked like she was about to cry again.
Mu Sheng put his hand on his forehead and said helplessly, "Okay! Okay! Okay! I'll just do it to you. I'm really scared of you. If you're not tired, I'll just change your clothes from now on, okay?"
Yun'er then broke down in tears and said with a smile, "Young master's body can only belong to me."
Mu Sheng sighed and thought, Yun'er... can dressing in daily life be so important?
After Mu Sheng finished packing, he asked the eunuch from the palace to follow him carrying a gift box in honor of his father. He opened the gift box and double-checked that everything was in good condition before getting on the carriage sent by the palace to pick him up.
After getting on the carriage, Mu Sheng always felt that something was not right. It turned out that there were four snow-white horses in front of him pulling the carriage. As the carriage started to move, Mu Sheng carefully looked at the regulations of the carriage, and then he was finally shocked. Breaking into a cold sweat, this is a carriage that only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is qualified to ride in. Is there anyone who is deliberately messing with him?
Mu Sheng stuck his head out and quickly stopped the carriage, called Yang Liu who was greeting him, and asked, "What's going on with Eunuch Yang's car?"
Yang Liumei smiled and said, "Reporting to Lord Changping, this is your Majesty's wish."
Mu Sheng was stunned for a long time and could only say, "Let's go..."
Fine! The emperor is really capable of sorting things out, so he has already started the fire. This matter will definitely not be hidden from the eyes and ears of the prince, hey! Forget it... Anyway, let's just follow His Majesty's script. I don't know if the Emperor will have a way out for him after the Crown Prince succeeds to the throne.
If the emperor doesn't make arrangements, then he has to find it himself. Sometimes I think it's better to wear it on an ordinary person, even if he can't practice Taoism. He can lie down, be safe, and open and close his eyes in this life. After getting through it, the average life expectancy is thirty-five years old anyway, which is a very fast life.
When the motorcade arrived at Tai Chi Palace, Mu Sheng got out of the car and took a few glances at the carriage, which was too large for him. He shook his head helplessly. There must be a road before the carriage reaches the mountain, so take a step at a time!
Mu Sheng followed Yang Liu all the way to the Tianji Palace. He straightened his clothes and the two passed through the heavy guards and entered the palace. They saw the same familiar and shocking palace and the same jade platform.
Under the jade platform, Lu Liang, the general manager of the inner court, was waiting for him.
Mu Sheng stepped forward and bowed his hands and said, "Mr. Lu..."
Eunuch Lu smiled and said, "Mr. Changping, please follow me on stage."
The two of them climbed onto the high platform and saw the imperial ruler in the middle of the jade platform sitting in a moon-white Taoist robe with his eyes closed, meditating.
Mu Sheng did not dare to neglect at all. He stepped forward and knelt on the ground, bowed three times and kowtowed three times and said, "Your Majesty, I have not seen my father for a long time. I miss you so much. I am overjoyed to see Tianyan today."
The one in the middle slowly opened his eyes, looked at Mu Sheng, and said calmly, "Sheng'er is flat."
Mu Sheng stood up and bowed and said, "Thank you, my father. My father and I have traveled around the world and passed by the Yuzhen Sect. I have heard that our father is dedicated to seeking enlightenment. I am inexplicably impressed by this. I specially asked for a thousand-year-old mountain ginseng in the sect for my father." A pair of hundred-year-old three-seven-fourth pair, two pairs of Southern Xinjiang Ganoderma lucidum and agarwood, and a box of marrow-cleansing pills. These spiritual objects can help my father in his cultivation. I hope that my father will accept his filial piety."
Mu Sheng waved his hand behind, and the two eunuchs presented the brocade box. The emperor did not look at it, but nodded slightly. The steward Lu Liang signaled Yang Liu to accept the brocade box and left.
The emperor is rich all over the world, so he does not necessarily lack these things, and what he gives is just a thought.
The emperor looked at Mu Sheng holding Fuchen in his hand and moving it around before saying: "Sheng'er is interested, come closer."
Mu Sheng stepped forward, and his father patted Mu Sheng's shoulder and sighed: "We haven't seen you for half a year, but you have grown a lot taller. In a few years, you will also be crowned. I will personally do it for you then." Perform the crowning ceremony."
When Mu Sheng heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "My father crowned my son, which is really a great blessing for my son. I thank God for his grace and may your Majesty live forever."
The emperor gave some help and said, "Okay, get up, Sheng'er. With the crown ceremony, you can join the court as a king and participate in politics. I mean, you don't have to wait for the crown ceremony. From tomorrow on, you can go to Tai Chi Palace with you." The Xuanzhengyuan participates in and discusses politics, so just observe carefully, and if you don’t understand anything, just ask your uncle Zhao Chu."
Mu Sheng bowed deeply and said, "Father, my son is stupid. I will consult my uncle from time to time and never let down my father's expectations."
"Okay! Okay! Sheng'er, don't go back today. Stay with me in the Tai Chi Palace. I know you are also a practitioner, so I want to give you a good test of this method today."
Mu Sheng looked ecstatic and kowtowed, "It is truly God's grace that my son can accompany the king and fulfill his filial piety in front of the emperor..."
Lu Liang, the general manager of the inner court, changed his face slightly when he heard this, and he lost no time in saying, "Your Majesty, I will personally prepare an upper room for Lord Changping."
The emperor nodded slightly and acquiesced. After Lu Liang silently retreated, on the jade platform, Mu Sheng discussed the method of cultivation with the emperor...
It wasn't until evening that the emperor said with a cheerful face, "Sheng'er, it's getting late. We'll stop here today. I'll discuss it with you tomorrow."
Mu Sheng bowed and saluted, "I respectfully send you off to Your Majesty."
After the emperor went to the palace to rest, Mu Sheng exited the Tianji Palace and went to his upper room under the guidance of Yang Liu.
Just as Mu Sheng was about to exit the palace, he happened to bump into a group of palace maids holding lanterns in front of them. In the middle of the group, there was a woman in palace clothes with a veil covering her face.
Upon seeing this, Yang Liu immediately stepped forward and saluted, "Slave Yang Liu, please come to see Mrs. Sun."
The woman in palace clothes nodded slightly through her gauze scarf, and Mu Sheng could probably guess that she was the emperor's pillowcase.
Mu Sheng also hurriedly stepped forward to greet you and said, "My son, Mu Sheng, see you, Madam."
The woman in palace clothes paused when she heard his name.
I could only hear her graceful and sweet voice coming from under the veil: "Are you Young Master Changping Junsheng?"
Mu Sheng did not dare to raise his head and nodded in agreement.
Mrs. Sun said, "Sheng'er, raise your head and let me take a look."
After all, she was his father's woman and his little mother. Mu Sheng had no choice but to raise his head and look at the woman in front of him.
She just looked at Mu Sheng carefully through the gauze scarf and sighed softly: "What a resemblance!"
After saying something incomprehensible, Mrs. Sun turned around and left...
