The Pearl Palace is still the same as before. It was in this courtyard that Shao Xi spanked Zhao Hongmian a month ago. I don’t know if it was Zhao Hongmian who told him or if Shao Xi looked too fierce last time. As soon as he walked into the Pearl Palace, Shao Xi discovered everything The maids and eunuchs all treated me respectfully, as if everyone knew me and were afraid of me.
This made Shao Xi a little confused. Although there was a lot of noise last time, it wouldn't be enough for everyone in the Pearl Palace to know him, right?
Shao Xi was walking in the Pearl Palace. All the maids and eunuchs were bowing to him, making him look like an emperor. This suddenly made Shao Xi feel a little uncomfortable.
Arriving in front of Cailuan Palace, Shao Xi asked the palace maid to go in and report, but he didn't know that after the palace maid saluted him, she told him that the princess had given an explanation and that he could enter the palace directly without announcing his arrival.
This made Shao Xi feel a little outrageous. You are a princess after all. If I broke in without notification, wouldn't it be nice to say that you were walking around in pajamas?
But it doesn't matter if you think about it, women in this era would not take off their coats unless it was dark.
So he walked directly into Cailuan Hall. As soon as he stepped into the hall, he saw Zhao Hongmian coming up to him. He walked up to him and timidly said a blessing, and also said, "Disciple, pay homage to Master."
Shao Xi said in her heart, Damn it! what's the situation? How did this girl change her gender? Did he eat something he shouldn't have? Why don't you throw the bench? Why do you feel so unaccustomed to being so polite to yourself all of a sudden?
But since others are so polite, why don't I just go and ask others why they don't hit me? Otherwise, people will definitely think that there is something wrong with their brains.
So Shao Xi walked to the case and sat down, pretending to be a master, and asked in a coquettish tone: "I haven't been here for so long, don't you want to ask? Before, I only came for one day, and you felt better." It’s noisy, why don’t you make a fuss today?”
His question made Zhao Hongmian shrink his neck in fright and his face turned red.
"The disciple doesn't dare to ask where the master is. He must have been delayed by something since he hasn't been here for so long. The disciple is just waiting here for the master. Last time, the disciple was ignorant. After being taught a lesson by the master, the disciple has been shutting up and thinking about his mistakes. Please forgive me, Master."
Shao Xi's elbow on the case slipped and he almost fell to the ground.
Holy crap! This little girl is quite respectful of her teachers. Isn't this a big contrast from before? Is it possible that schizophrenia really exists? Or have multiple personalities?
Even though he was thinking wildly in his mind, Shao Xi still had to put on a serious look and said to Zhao Hongmian: "This mission has been settled. We will leave Nanzhao and return to Jingyuan in the next two days. I came here specifically for this purpose." I’m here to teach you body skills, and I will definitely do what I promised you, and can you please stop calling me master from now on, I have a disciple.”
When Zhao Hongmian heard that Shao Xi said that he was not allowed to call him master, his eye circles suddenly turned red, and he said with a cry: "Master, do you think your apprentice is too naughty? My apprentice is already changing, please don't stop. Accept me as your disciple! I will definitely keep Master’s teachings in mind. Even if Master is not around, I will practice my body skills assiduously. I beg Master to forgive me for my past mistakes.”
Shao Xi was completely confused by her! What is she going to do? You shamelessly want to be my apprentice. Should you accept this apprenticeship or not? If you recognize her, then she will be the boss, and Wu Qiu'er will become the second child. If you act like the senior sister according to this guy's temperament, why don't you really treat Wu Qiu'er like a ball?
"How about this! You just become my nominal disciple. The disciple I accept is going to walk around the world with me. As a princess, you have many inconveniences. Since you want to worship me as your disciple, you can only become one. Nominal disciple, if there is a chance in the future, I will teach you something else."
Although Zhao Hongmian felt a little aggrieved, at least Shao Xi had agreed to accept her as his apprentice, so he did not dare to make too many demands.
Although she also wanted to follow him to explore the world, but after all, she was a princess and had been pampered since she was a child. She also knew that she could not endure the hardships outside, so she had to give up.
Seeing that she had calmed down, Shao Xi asked, "Has the Holy Master come to Pearl Palace recently?"
Zhao Hongmian nodded obediently and replied: "Come, come every day! Brother Huang said that you might come here one day, so he will come here to wait for you every day. Today, you haven't come yet. Look at the time. It should be coming soon."
"Well, in that case, you come with me to the courtyard! I will teach you the 'Flower Dance' movement technique first. You must study it carefully and practice it yourself in the future. I have returned to Jing Yuan Kingdom It’s also impossible for me to be by your side to supervise you. Whether you practice well or not depends entirely on you.”
After saying that, Shao Xi stood up and walked out of Cailuan Hall. Zhao Hongmian hurriedly followed behind him. How could he still look like the tigress with claws and fangs from before?
Although Zhao Hongmian had seen Shao Xi perform the "Flower Dance" technique before, when Shao Xi performed it again in the yard, Zhao Hongmian still screamed in surprise with a look of envy on his face.
Shao Xi looked at her with twinkling eyes, a nymphomaniac look on his face, and shook his head in confusion, and taught her the key points of the movement technique.
Zhao Hongmian had also practiced martial arts since she was a child, but she was spoiled and could not bear hardships, so she practiced laxly. However, Shao Xi's "Flower Dance" really amazed her at the beginning.
It was rare for this girl to make up her mind to endure this hardship. In her eyes, the "Flower Dance" performed by Shao Xi was the most beautiful movement technique in the world. If she had learned this movement technique in her life, she would have closed her eyes to death. So a princess who had never endured hardship was willing to put down her body in order to learn this set of movements, and humbly asked Shao Xi to be her master.
However, she did admire Shao Xi's martial arts. After all, in her eyes, those who reached Shao Xi's level were all old men.
When Shao Xi returned this time, he was already in the realm of "Qi Transformation Realm". When he performs "Dance Among Flowers", it can be said that he can grow flowers with one step, as fast as the wind. Every move will leave an afterimage on the spot, and even more. It made Zhao Hongmian's eyes light up.
While Shao Xi was instructing Zhao Hongmian to practice the "Flower Dance", he heard the eunuch outside the gate of Mingzhu Palace shout loudly: "The Holy Lord has arrived!"
Immediately afterwards, he saw Zhao Hongjin walking into the Pearl Palace with his hands behind his back. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Shao Xi and Zhao Hongmian practicing body skills in the courtyard, so they walked over with a smile.
Shao Xi and Zhao Hongmian also hurriedly came forward to greet them. Zhao Hongjin waved his hand and said that there were no outsiders here, so there was no need to be polite.
After seeing the ceremony, Zhao Hongmian had no time to talk to her royal brother and ran away to practice again. Judging from her serious look, she was indeed completely different from the unruly and willful Princess Haizhu before.
Zhao Hongjin took Shao Xi to sit down in the pavilion and asked Shao Xi: "Have you ever gone to Han Zeng's house to get the covenant that Han Zeng and I made together? I wonder where you have been these days? You are like a man when you leave. In the past month, I have sent people to Guanyi several times, but the people in your mission also said they did not know your whereabouts, and I have been worried for a while. Now that you are finally back, what are your plans? Your mission has been completely It has been completed. Would you like to stay in Nan Zhao for a while? You just gave me some pointers on Hong Mian's body skills. Thinking that you will leave soon, I am really reluctant to leave. If it weren't for the identity of the Holy Lord of Nan Zhao , I really want to walk the rivers and lakes with you, act chivalrously, and live a life of joy and revenge, but unfortunately this wish may not be realized in my lifetime."
Although Zhao Hongjin's words were all polite, Shao Xi believed that his efforts to retain her and his last bit of emotion should come from the bottom of his heart.
A person who lives within the palace walls all year round must yearn for the life outside. Just like Zhao Hongmian, he will be infinitely obsessed with new things from the outside. Although they live in good clothing and food, to be fair, their life is not I missed a lot of ordinary people's happiness.
So, in Shao Xi's opinion, what are the benefits of being an emperor? Although he can control the fate of countless people in the world, he ultimately cannot control his own destiny. He has the greatest power and can restrain others, but the one who restrains him the most is himself.
Shao Xi often wonders why so many people are greedy for power. There is no denying that power can bring a lot of benefits to oneself, but because of the benefits that power brings, there are risks that one has to bear.
Even though we eat delicacies from the mountains and seas and wear silks and satins, we still have to be cautious every day, be wary of everything, and plot against each other. Isn’t it hard work?
Often people only see the glamorous appearance, but never know the bitterness inside.
This reminded Shao Xi of the world he once lived in. The same four wheels took people from point A to point B, but some people wanted to make some unnecessary comparisons. There is no denying that more wealth can be exchanged for comfort. Enjoyment, but this wealth brings more troubles to people.
Some people say that they would rather cry in a BMW than laugh on the back seat of a bicycle. Some even regard this sentence as a classic, but has anyone seriously thought about why they cry? why are you laughing? Why are you unhappy when you have wealth? And those who live ordinary lives can be happy?
In fact, in a word, it is desire.
All troubles are caused by desires. People will never be satisfied. The more wealth and power they have, the greater their desires will be and the more troubles they will have. So simplicity is happiness!
When one day you let go of those excessive desires, you will find that happiness is not far away from you.
The ancients often said that contentment always brings happiness.
The contentment here does not mean that you do not want to make progress or seek improvement, but it warns people to control their desires and stop in moderation.
If desires don't expand, people won't be crazy and won't have so many worries.
Shao Xi always feels that as long as the money is enough, it is enough, and the power is enough to protect oneself. The extra money will be used to help others, which will make him happier!
