Heh oh eh! "Xia Chengxuan didn't take off his shoes and socks, and was lying on Mei Yuanchen's bed humming a tune. I guess he couldn't remember all the lyrics to the tune, so he had to hum the tune.
"Chengxuan, what song are you singing, why are you so happy?" Mei Yuanchen sat on the desk drinking tea, not caring that he soiled his mattress, and asked with a smile. As if being infected by Xia Chengxuan's music, Mei Yuanchen was very happy at the moment. More than ten days ago, I had just opened up the Ren and Du channels, and my master injected two more qi into my body. I was seriously ill for several days due to internal and external pressures, and I couldn't even get out of bed. During his illness, he relied entirely on his sworn brother and a group of servants to take good care of him. Thinking of his adopted brother and best friend, Mei Yuanchen felt like a hot spring was flowing through his heart, filled with warmth. I also remembered what my master taught me a few days ago: Don’t trust anyone. No matter how good your character is or how deep your friendship is, it is possible to harm or kill you. I couldn't help but murmur in my heart, "Will Chengxuan harm me? How is this possible? It seems that Master was frustrated in making friends in the past years. Others may not know for sure, Chengxuan and I are like brothers, he will never harm me, let alone He said he was going to kill me."
"Oh, why am I so happy? I'm bored and have nothing to do, so why don't I just stand there stupidly without humming a tune?" Xia Chengxuan said helplessly, using his hands as a pillow and crossing his feet.
Mei Yuanchen thought, Xia Chengxuan was studying here all day long, unlike him who was studying literature and martial arts at the same time. He would have a lot of free time, and it would be difficult to fill it up unless he found something to do. He immediately asked, "Chengxuan, I have learned a powerful swordsmanship, do you want to learn it or not?"
Xia Chengxuan suddenly jumped up from the bed, looked at Mei Yuanchen excitedly, seemed to remember something, suddenly froze, fell down and lay down again, sighed, "Oh, forget it! Didn't my father tell us two, It was your chance that your master taught you martial arts, not mine. If I forcefully take advantage of your blessing, hey, maybe my father will scold me!" Xia Chengxuan didn't know who Taoist Qingxuan was before, but later After asking Tao Tsao, I know what a master he is.
That day Xia Chengxuan came to Yaozhu and asked, "Master Yaozhu, do you know a Taoist named Qingxuan?"
Yong Zhuo stroked his gray beard and smiled, "Your Majesty, if you ask others, ask ten people, you are afraid that none of these ten will recognize this Taoist Qingxuan. You just asked me, so you asked the right person."
"Do you recognize him?" Xia Chengxuan asked in shock.
"I don't recognize him. I've only heard people say that he is a peerless master." Yongzhu replied, the regret in his words was clear and palpable.
Xia Chengxuan said disappointedly, "Who knows how true or false this hearsay is? No matter how powerful it is, I'm afraid there is a lot of exaggeration."
Yongzhu shook his head and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, a famous person with dignity in the world will never talk nonsense. Have you ever heard of Jiudian?"
"Jiudian? Are you talking about the gang of dead men who specialize in killing people?" Xia Chengxuan didn't expect that Yongzhu would also come to test him. He thought about it before answering.
"The second master of Jiudian's martial arts is not as good as me. Five years ago, he collected money to go into the house to kill people. Unexpectedly, Qingxuan was also in that house. The two exchanged palms. The second master of Jiudian He suffered serious internal injuries and hurriedly retreated. Taoist Qingxuan hit him so hard that his meridians and lungs were damaged with just a casual palm. He has not recovered yet, and I am afraid that he will never recover in this life." Yaozhu's face With an expression of disbelief, Xia Chengxuan could almost see a hint of fear in his eyes, "What a powerful skill this is!"
"What does it matter? We just don't tell our adoptive father." Mei Yuanchen said to Xia Chengxuan with a sincere look.
Xia Chengxuan was quite interested. After thinking about it, he laughed and said, "I won't bother to learn it! If you are good at martial arts, you can protect me, don't you think?"
"No! I won't be your guard!" Mei Yuanchen answered him with a smile.
The two of them were having fun talking to each other, so happy!
"The day after tomorrow is the sixteenth day. Master said that there is a Zen lecture at Boluo Temple in the east of the city. Do you want to go with me?" Mei Yuanchen thought of this and asked Xia Chengxuan.
Xia Chengxuan curled his lips and sneered, "I won't go if the old monk has anything nice to say. The 16th happens to be General Rui Rumin's sixtieth birthday, and my father has already told me that he wants to go with him to congratulate him. Don't listen to that lazy old monk chanting sutras, just come with us! The General's Mansion is much more interesting than your monk's temple." As he spoke, he got more and more excited, got up from the bed, and walked to Mei Yuanchen She sat down next to him and whispered in his ear, "My father said that one of Rui Rumin's granddaughters is named Rui Xiaoling. She is fifteen years old and is of marriageable age."
"Is that girl very beautiful?" Mei Yuanchen tilted his head and smiled.
Seeing the teasing look on his face, Xia Chengxuan felt a little embarrassed, and said sarcastically, "I think she's quite beautiful. But that doesn't matter, you." Seeing Mei Yuanchen looking at him, his smile grew bigger and bigger, and he said He stopped mid-sentence, slapped him hard on the shoulder, and scolded him with a smile, "You still have the nerve to laugh at me! You and Haitang are in love, but you come to provoke my sister again, I won't care about you anymore. I I’m already eighteen this year, but I’m already old enough to get married, so you have the guts to laugh at me!”
Hearing that Xia Chengxuan exposed his background, how could he dare to laugh at him? He replied honestly, "Okay, okay! Prince Jaw is going on a blind date, so naturally I, the sworn brother, will go. Fortunately, the birthday banquet at the General's Mansion is in the evening, otherwise I It’s really difficult. After listening to the old Zen master’s lecture, I rushed back and I will never miss your good news!”
Xia Chengxuan gave Mei Yuanchen a knowing smile, patted his arm and said, "Good brother!"
The two looked at each other and smiled for a long time. Xia Chengxuan suddenly looked a little lonely and said, "Yuanchen, did you know? I envy you so much!"
"What? You, a prince, are envious of me? Are you willing to trade with me?" Mei Yuanchen teased.
"I am in an imperial family, and I am destined to have no choice but to do things of my own accord. I cannot play around according to my own temper, I cannot learn the paintings and literary works that I like, I cannot make friends and travel at will, and I cannot find a girl that I like. This royal in-law, Alas, as long as the Rui family can help me succeed, even if his granddaughter looks like a sow, I am willing to marry her!" Xia Chengxuan said bitterly, as if he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly adjusted his expression to look at Mei Yuan Chen saw him staring at him blankly, with complicated expressions in his eyes.
"He originally wanted to be the emperor!" Mei Yuanchen realized Xia Chengxuan's thoughts at this moment. There were so many thoughts in his mind that it was difficult to describe, "No wonder he always seems to deliberately hide his thoughts and is always eager to be in front of others. People can't see clearly. Previously, my adopted father Chengyong ascended the throne, but he wanted to help Chengxuan seize the throne? My father and I."
Xia Chengxuan walked to the door and window, made sure that there was silence, then walked to Mei Yuanchen and said seriously, "Since I have spilled the beans, I won't hide it from you anymore. My lifelong ambition is to be the emperor, and you are my brother. Are you willing to help me?"
Mei Yuanchen thought of all kinds of things in the past. He thought of the ink jade unicorn inkstone he gave her and the owl-tailed Xuanfeng. He thought of how every time he thought about his parents when he was sad and sad, he was by his side jokingly and comforting him. He thought of the many sincere feelings in the past. On the screen, looking at his serious and pleading expression, I couldn't help but nodded slightly, "Yes!"
"Good brother!" Xia Chengxuan said happily with a grateful face.
