Zhao Hongming opened his mouth and asked outside the door: "What time is it now?"
There was a young eunuch squatting outside the door, and he hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Highness, it's Haishi now, and it's almost Zishi."
It's not too late now.
Normally, he would have almost rested.
Zhao Hongming thought for a while and then ordered: "Wait for me to go to bed."
"yes."
Having just made a breakthrough, he is still very energetic and does not feel sleepy at all.
But cultivation is a 'big project' and is not something that can be completed overnight.
In Zhao Hongming's view, the planning and rhythm of such a 'project' are very important, and the core lies in 'persistence' rather than acting haphazardly every day.
So he decided to keep his schedule similar to usual and not make any major adjustments.
There is another important reason why Zhao Hongming did this.
Even in the palace, he, a powerless prince, does not have enough connections.
He could not know the changes in the palace in time.
If his recent changes in daily life attract the attention of interested people, it might cause him new troubles.
There used to be a palace maid who married a prince.
This prince has shown extraordinary intelligence since he was a child.
As a result, when he was five years old, he lost his footing and fell into the water, contracted wind chill, and died.
The secrets can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.
That’s all I know.
For those who don't know, the filth and filthiness that have never been shown to anyone in the palace are probably countless.
Therefore, Zhao Hongming had to think more and constantly remind himself to walk on thin ice and maintain a cautious attitude.
But such days will not last long.
According to the regulations of the Wei Dynasty, the prince can leave the cabinet and be crowned king when he is fifteen years old.
He is thirteen now and has two years to go.
At the current progress of his cultivation, not to mention being promoted to an innate warrior in two years, there would definitely be no problem reaching the Aperture Realm.
By then, he will also have his own fiefdom and be able to form his own team, so he will no longer worry about these embarrassing things.
Zhao Hongming emptied his mind of all the random thoughts and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, it was the same as usual.
Eunuch Wang Bao walked outside the door and shouted to Zhao Hongming to get up.
Zhao Hongming, who had already opened his first-level pulse, almost stood up in response.
After getting up, he felt refreshed. The hazy feeling he had when he got up early disappeared and he felt better than ever before.
Remembered something.
Zhao Hongming took out a stack of blue books from the bedside.
This is the classic that the prince asked Zhou Zhanshi to send yesterday.
He picked up one of them and read it aloud.
"Heaven sees me and the people see me, God listens to me and the people..."
Wang Bao, who was standing outside the door, was slightly startled and did not urge him any further.
After waiting for a moment, the sound of reading inside suddenly stopped: "Wang Bao, please help me wash up."
"yes."
The eunuch Wang Bao didn't waste any time. He gently opened the door and entered, leading several young eunuchs to get busy.
Under the service of the personal eunuch, Zhao Hongming repeated his daily life as a prince.
Royal garden, fish pond.
After Jian'an Emperor Zhao Meixu finished handling state affairs, he took the eunuch Feng Dabao around in the imperial garden.
Stopped by the fish pond.
Zhao Meixu spread his hands, and a eunuch took the initiative to offer fish food.
He grabbed a handful and threw it casually into the fish pond, attracting countless green and red carp to fight for it, causing splashes of water.
"How is Bi Daoshou of the Zhengyi Sect doing lately?"
Feng Dabao on the side bowed and said: "Return to your Majesty. I heard that Bi Daoshou has reached the ninth level of martial courage and is planning to attack the realm of creation. Not long ago, all the elixirs and medicines requested by your Majesty have been given to you."
After hearing this, Zhao Meixu lowered his head and thought, then sprinkled a handful of fish food and said, "I remember that among the elders of the Zhengyi sect, the son of Elder Lan Liangchen seems to have reached the age of marriage."
"One of my daughters, Princess Wuyin, is similar in age to her, so they are a good match. I plan to form a marriage with Elder Lan."
"Eunuch Feng, you will go to Zhengyimen tomorrow and make sure to facilitate this matter. In addition, I will also send instructions to Concubine Xiang."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Feng Dabao asked.
Zhao Meixu threw all the remaining fish food in his hands into the fish pond. He looked at the churning water in the pond and said to himself: "It's a pity that Taoist Bi has never thought of finding a Taoist companion. Otherwise, Zhao's If a talented person joins the main sect, the Zhao family of Wei Dynasty will be more stable."
Feng Dabao, who was on the side, said nothing.
As the largest sect in the Wei Kingdom, Zhengyi Sect has a very profound foundation and made a lot of contributions when the Wei Kingdom was founded.
He has always been regarded as a guest of Wei State.
There are tens of thousands of warriors under his sect, and he is a force that cannot be underestimated in the whole world.
However, after hundreds of years, the relationship between Zhengyimen and the Zhao family of the Wei Dynasty has become increasingly weak, and is no longer as close as it was at the beginning.
This is not a good thing for Da Wei.
If the Zhengyi Sect has other ideas and secretly colludes with the other five countries, the Zhao family of Wei will be in a very passive situation.
Because of this, Zhao Meixu had to adopt a marriage alliance to maintain their relationship.
"Watching fish fight for food is not interesting. Let's go." Zhao Meixu left the fish watching pond with his hands behind his back.
As he walked, he said, "Has anything happened to the prince recently?"
Feng Dabao followed behind Zhao Meixu and said: "Yesterday in the upper study room, the princes studied the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, and Sun Xueshi explained the Shangshu Yao Canon - [Kiming Junde, Kissing the Nine Tribes]."
"The fourth prince applied what he learned on the spot and gave the fifth prince a marrow-cleansing pill. Now the Imperial Academy speaks highly of the fourth prince."
"The fourth child is somewhat like me. He never misses any opportunity to express himself and does things properly." Zhao Meixu said with a satisfied smile: "The prince and the seventh prince didn't do anything when they faced the fourth child like this? "
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the prince later sent Zhou Zhanshi to the fifth prince, bringing some Confucian classics to persuade the fifth prince not to neglect his studies. As for the seventh prince, he has been studying hard."
"It seems that the prince still wants stability and does not want others to find opportunities to criticize." Zhao Meixu frowned and said: "The seventh prince is a bit young and is not thoughtful enough. Where is the fifth prince?"
"Yesterday, the eldest lady of the Chen family came over. The two had a very pleasant conversation. The young lady of the Chen family didn't leave until Youshi. Before she left, she gave the fifth prince a treasured bow."
Zhao Meixu nodded and said: "Chen Shangshu is telling me that he has no intention of taking sides. Let Chen Shangshu stay alone after tomorrow morning."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Feng Dabao seemed to think of something and hesitated to speak.
"Do you have something to say?"
Feng Dabao said: "Speaking of which, the fifth prince also recited the classics given by the prince early this morning. He worked very hard. It seems that he has not given up on learning martial arts."
Zhao Maixu said casually: "It is really not easy for the fifth prince to be taciturn on weekdays. Starting from next month, I will add an extra fifty taels to the monthly salary. In addition, let the Chen family's daughter enter the palace once a month to exchange martial arts with the fifth prince. So that the fifth prince can The prince knows the gap between himself and the genius, and retreats as soon as possible."
"yes."
"It's not that easy for a royal family to learn martial arts." Zhao Meixu couldn't help but recall the memories of his youth, and he was in a daze.
Two days later.
Zhao Hongming sat cross-legged on the bed, his chest rising and falling, fast or slow, with a unique rhythm.
After a long time, he opened his eyes, and there was a flash of light in his eyes.
He stared somewhere in the void, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face again.
In Zhao Hongming's sight, the attribute panel of [Tiandao rewards those who work hard] changed again.
[Name: Zhao Hongming]
[Cultivation method: Bahuang Eternal Age Kung Fu - Second level of pulse opening (6/300)]
[Breaking through techniques: None]
[Today’s practice time: 3 hours]
[Physique: Good]
[Root bone bonus: 1.2]
After three days of hard training, Zhao Hongming's martial arts skills finally reached the second level of Kai Mai.
The speed is demonic.
At this time, the immortal energy is flowing like a river in the two meridians, and the joy is endless.
And every time it runs, Zhao Hongming feels that his body is undergoing subtle transformations, constantly glowing with vitality.
Gululu.
At this time, there was a feeling of hunger in his abdomen.
The warrior consumes a lot of money.
Zhao Hongming knew that the previous three meals a day were not enough to replenish physical energy.
He would either think of more ways to eat more meat, or buy some qi and blood supplements outside.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongming felt a little embarrassed.
Most of his monthly salary consisted of silks and satin and nine plates of food, but he didn't actually receive much silver or gold and silverware.
There is only so much room for thinking about three meals a day.
Moreover, there are etiquette requirements for royal meals, and overeating is not allowed.
The best way is to purchase Qi and blood supplements from outside.
It's just that Zhao Hongming has never been out of the palace, and he doesn't know how much the qi and blood supplements outside are worth.
Now he doesn't have much money.
"Your Highness, the Ministry of Internal Affairs just sent someone to inform His Highness to collect his salary tomorrow. I wonder when will Your Highness be free to go there tomorrow?"
Outside the door, the personal eunuch Wang Bao came to the door and shouted loudly.
