Nine ferocious mastiffs that could fight tigers and wolves were so frightened that Immortal Master Xiuming just raised his hand and ran away with their tails between their legs.The news was faster than the wind, and spread throughout the palace in an instant.

Emperor Jing'an was very satisfied with this.Dong Di sent ten mastiffs, and there was something beyond the meaning of showing goodwill. As an emperor, he could still vaguely perceive it, so Qi Jun killed one mastiff and scared nine of them away. An invisible slap was slapped hard on Dong Di's face, and Dong Di couldn't say anything—very good.

The nine mastiffs were scared out of their wits, so naturally they didn't dare to hurt anyone anymore, and were obediently dragged back by the chains led by the mastiff slaves, so only the queen was injured in the whole incident—knocked on the maids when she fainted, Twisted the wrist a bit.

Qi Jun was spattered with blood, and went to visit the queen after changing clothes. The second prince Dongdi watched the mastiff slaves send nine mastiff dogs into Emperor Jing'an's palace, his face was livid.The counselors around him peeped at his face, but they didn't dare to speak, it was the second prince himself who spoke first: "This immortal master--he really has great abilities!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, the counselor dared to speak: "Prince, I heard that this fairy teacher was invited by Prince Sheng Chao."

The second prince thought of Qi Jun's clean and neat action of almost cutting off the neck of the mastiff, and his expression was sullen: "Your Highness, you are not tolerant of us."

"Yes. If His Majesty in the Sheng Dynasty is buried in the future, and the crown prince succeeds to the throne, plus this immortal master, I'm afraid we--" There will be no advantage to take advantage of.

"His Royal Highness..." The second prince raised his head slightly, "This temperament is not like the people of the Sheng Dynasty." They are not as soft and gentle as the people of the Sheng Dynasty, but they are as violent and tough as the Dongdi people. Such a person is in a high position, how can they deal with them?

The counselor understood: "The Second Highness of the Sheng Dynasty is exactly like the current emperor. I heard that the people of the Sheng Dynasty pay special attention to 'the son is like the father'. Your Majesty should choose the son who is most like him to succeed him."

There was a slight smile in the eyes of the second prince: "Give the precious medicinal materials I brought to the second prince." These things were originally intended to be given to the prince, but since the prince is so hard to please, let's give it to the second prince, "Of course , the Empress and His Highness the Crown Prince will also send some."

"Yes." The counselor fully understood what he meant, and bowed down to handle it by himself.

The queen was terrified, and even though she saw Qi Jun was unharmed after waking up, she still dragged him to cry, and asked him to swear that he would never set foot in such a dangerous situation again before giving up.With great difficulty, Qi Jun coaxed her to take the soothing decoction before she could come out of the queen's room.

The sky was almost dark, and the last quarter moon rose in the sky, casting a faint silver light on the courtyard.As soon as Qi Jun came out, he saw Zhibai standing in the court, wondering what he was thinking.Under the moonlight, he is like a jade carving, with a faint brilliance covering his whole body, which is extremely pleasing to the eye.Qi Jun walked over involuntarily: "What is the fairy master thinking?"

"Oh—" Zhibai's tone was not very good, "I'm recalling the heroic posture of His Highness wielding a knife to kill dogs today."

Feng En opened his mouth, wanting to reprimand Zhibai - even if he is an immortal teacher, he must not talk to the prince like this, but the words were suppressed when he got to his mouth, he remembered his proposal a few days ago, if His Highness I agreed, without this Xiuming Immortal Master today, would the crown prince still be able to stand here intact?

Qi Jun laughed self-deprecatingly: "Today is really reckless." He knew exactly what the second prince Dongdi's actions meant. He killed the dog for the sake of gaining prestige, but he didn't expect the other nine mastiffs to see their companion's blood. He would be so crazy, "It's an immortal master, how can he scare away the nine mastiffs with a single gesture?"

Zhibai opened his mouth, and Qi Jun was already one step ahead: "If the immortal master doesn't want to reveal, I don't want to ask too much." Painful statement of the causal relationship caused by insisting on seizing the throne.

Zhibai could only sigh: "It's nothing, it's just to force out the dragon energy absorbed from His Majesty and Second Highness these days. At the moment of Longwei, not to mention mastiffs, tigers, leopards, rhinoceros, etc. Stay away."

Qi Jun frowned: "In this way, is it true that the father is invulnerable to all beasts?" After hearing the word "longqi", he was really not in a good mood.According to Zhibai, Emperor Jing'an didn't need guards to protect him when he hunted every year. Any wild animal should turn around and run away when it sees him.As for Qizhang, he is even less angry. If the Dragon Qi is so useful, why didn't Qizhang follow the second prince Dongdi to watch the mastiff?

Zhibai shook his head: "That's not the case. Although His Majesty has dragon energy to protect him, there are as many as there are guards around His Highness. The dragon energy I use today was absorbed from His Majesty's side for dozens of days, and it was all stimulated. It is different from ordinary soldiers. It is like using soldiers. If you have a mediocre army, even if you have a thousand people, you may not be able to win. If you send out an elite army of one in a hundred, even if you have only a hundred people, you will be invincible."

Qi Jun didn't speak anymore, Zhibai looked at him for a while, hesitated to speak, and finally just sighed.

Although there was a mastiff bloodshed incident, the etiquette that should be done must be fulfilled. Emperor Jing'an held a banquet in the palace as usual to entertain Prince Dongdi.Now the queen feels uncomfortable when she hears the word Dongdi, and she refuses to attend no matter how much the maids persuade her. Fortunately, Dongdi only has a prince here, and he is not noble enough to require the empress to show up. Even if the queen doesn't show up, she won't It's rude.

Although it was in the palace, the county magistrate of Penglai was very attentive, and the banquet was still full of delicacies from mountains and seas, which attracted the praise of Prince Dongdi.After three glasses of wine, Prince Dongdi asked about the queen's phoenix body with concern, and repeatedly expressed his self-reproach: "...It was really reckless, and frightened the empress. Xiao Wang has sent some medicinal materials to express his heart."

Although Emperor Jing'an himself was startled by the mastiff, he still felt a little disdainful when he saw the empress frightened like this.Empresses have always been timid - if it wasn't for his married wife, Emperor Jing'an would have said that the empress would be as timid as a mouse. He shoots and hunts on horseback, which is much better than the queen. Fortunately, the prince is not like the queen.

Emperor Jing'an thought about it, so he couldn't help but look at Qi Jun more.Qi Jun's performance today was a bit reckless, but he followed Prince Dongdi to watch the mastiff, and saved the face of the Sheng Dynasty, which is worthy of the status of the prince of a country.Speaking of which, the eldest son is also 19 years old, and it's time to start a family... Emperor Jing'an was lost in thought when he suddenly heard the second prince Dongdi laughing: "What do you think, Your Majesty?" Turning around, the second prince Dongdi was leaning over Leaning forward, smiling at him.Emperor Jing'an was slightly startled, and Wang Jin had already whispered in his ear by pouring tea: "The Second Prince just talked about the spring hunting with His Highness, and invited His Majesty and several Highnesses to Dongdi's hunting ground."

Spring hunting?Emperor Jing'an narrowed his eyes slightly, and glanced at the second prince Dongdi.At this time, wild beasts have indeed come out of their dens one after another, but after a severe winter, they are all very thin, so what is there to hunt?Dongdi's move was nothing more than a gesture of goodwill.According to Dongdi's customs, the hunting ground is everyone's property and should not be violated. Prince Dongdi invited him to go hunting in Dongdi, which is considered very sincere in terms of customs.Just, enter Dongdi hunting ground?

"I still need to go to Mount Tai to worship the heavens. Count the time. I have been away from the capital for a long time. The government should not be abandoned. Dongdi is still far away. I can't go this time. If the second prince is interested, I can hold a hunt at the foot of Mount Tai , the second prince can return to Dongdi after watching the ceremony and hunting." Although there are guards by his side, Emperor Jing'an will not rashly step into Dongdi territory.

The second prince Dongdi listened respectfully, agreed repeatedly, and praised Mount Tai for offering sacrifices to heaven and enshrining Zen.Although he is from Dongdi, he can speak the language of the Sheng Dynasty very well. Although he can't parallel four Li six, he can speak a few words of diction. They are shoulder to shoulder, so this meal can be regarded as a joy for the host and guest.

On the second day, Yujia set off for Mount Tai.The county magistrate of Penglai originally hoped to rely on the fairy mountain on the sea to get promoted, but he didn't expect the fairy mountain to be pointed out to be a fake by Xianshi Xiuming, which was really a big disappointment.Originally thought that Emperor Jing'an would be pleased by the thoughtful reception and service in the palace, but he didn't want the crown prince to praise his loyalty first before he set off. It is the duty of a minister, and he does not dare to take credit for it. An official is an important weapon of the country, and he dare not do so without the merit of governing the people.

These words were already thought up by the Penglai county magistrate.If the emperor wanted a reward, how could any of the ministers agree immediately, and who wouldn't want to say goodbye first?Everyone knows this truth, and no one will really not give you a reward just because you say goodbye.As a result—as a result, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was able to do it!Before Emperor Jing'an could speak, he had already praised the magistrate of Penglai, and then tore off a jade pendant from his waist and gave it to him.

A piece of jade pendant!

The Penglai county magistrate almost vomited blood.The prince said it nicely: Penglai county magistrate is not for fame and wealth. If he is rewarded with an official position or gold, it will wipe out his loyalty to the master. This jade pendant was given to him by the empress to keep him safe. If he has a son, he rewards his son to ensure that he grows up safely.

His Royal Highness's personal items are still rewarded by the queen, so what a blessing it is to keep his son growing up safely!The Penglai county magistrate could only kowtow to thank him with tears of gratitude on his face, but he wanted to vomit blood in his heart.This kind of grace is the icing on the cake if it is a high-ranking and important official. It is both high-ranking and holy-favored.What he needs now is to be promoted, to change from a prefect to a prefect or a prefect, not this kind of grace.What's more, the capital is far away from Penglai, and it is not in front of the emperor. What is the use of this holy favor?In two years, the emperor still remembers who he is!At that time, can he take this jade pendant and run to the Ministry of Officials to get promoted?

As the imperial driver set off, Qi Jun was smiling happily in his chariot, Wenxiu looked strange but didn't dare to ask, and asked knowingly: "Your Highness is so happy, but what reward does His Majesty have?"

"Short-sighted." Qi Jun raised his face and scolded him softly, "You must be rewarded to be happy?" Then he told the story of the Penglai County Magistrate, and sneered, "Pressing the people to please the boss, and still want to be promoted? Dreaming! "

Zhibai was also amused when he heard it: "Your Highness is really—" Qi Jun never thought that there would be such a wicked time, but he abruptly changed his words, "You are really wise and powerful!"

Qi Jun pointed at him and laughed loudly: "I can't flatter you! You are outside these days, have you thrown away all your calligraphy and paintings? Have you read the books yet?"

Zhibai's face suddenly collapsed: "Your Highness—"

"Bring your book." Qi Jun was in a very good mood today, "The master didn't come out with me, and my highness will test your homework these days on behalf of the master."

Of course the homework is a mess.In order to make Xianshi Xiuming more immortal, and to cater to Emperor Jing'an's hobbies, the masters taught Han Fu, parallel four Li six, colorful flowers, and Bai's eyes straightened when he read it.Then he taught poetry, just a copy of "Peiwen Poetry Rhyme" made Zhibai miserable, but he was a person who hadn't even read a few poems, and every day when he saw the master coming in, he could twist his face Come out bitter water.

Although Qi Jun is not proficient in this way, he is also a person who has studied in Beigong for ten years. He doesn't even need to take the books. , and one-third of the bull's head is wrong with the horse's mouth, and they don't know what to say at all.

Qi Jun was in a good mood today, and it was just embarrassing to ask him about his homework. Seeing that Bai Man's face was about to cry or not, he felt happy in his heart, and deliberately said with a straight face: "The reading is a mess! Is it less?"

Immortal Master Xiuming has never experienced anything like a handboard.Which master dares to fight the immortal master?But when Qi Jun talked about the handboard, he couldn't help shrinking his neck, and looked at him pitifully: "Your Highness—"

Qi Jun suppressed a smile and said: "It's all for reading, how about painting and calligraphy?" Turning to Wenxiu, "Bring a pen and paper."

Zhibai said with a bitter face: "Your Highness, the chariot is rickety, how do you write?"

Without saying a word, Qi Jun picked up the pen and wrote a line on the paper.He has practiced kung fu for many years. He is also proficient in bow and horse, and the strength on his wrist is stronger. Although the chariot is shaking, he still holds the pen steadily, and the lines are strong and neat.Zhibai looked down and couldn't find an excuse, so he could only accept the brush with a sad face, and began to write on the paper dripping with juice.He originally wrote crookedly, coupled with the shaking of the car, it was simply horrible.Qi Jun looked at it for a while, and couldn't help himself anymore, and laughed out loud: "Is this also written in words?"

Zhibai really wanted to drop the pen, but he didn't dare, and lowered his head to listen to the training.Seeing his perplexed face, Qi Jun smiled even deeper.He yelled all day long, but he really forgot that Zhibai was only 16 years old. Judging by his flat mouth, he was clearly still a half-grown child, so it was hard for him to pretend to be a fairy all day long. Wind channel bone.

"Sit upright." Qi Jun tapped Zhibai's back casually, "Stand like a pine, sit like a bell, whether you sit or stand, how can you write well?" He said, stretching his arms Go and hold his hand, "Wrists are hanging in the air, waist is straight and arms are flat, five fingers are not loose or tight when holding the pen..."

Wenxiu sat kneeling aside, staring at Qi Jun dumbfounded, if she hadn't remembered not to lose her manners, she would almost have forgotten the tea stove under her hand.She has been serving Qi Jun since he was ten years old, but she has never seen Qi Jun teach him to write by hand, and even the young princes in the palace have never had such intimacy between brothers.

Naturally, the princes in the palace said they were brothers, but none of them crawled out of the belly of the same mother. The concubines in the palace were fighting each other, so how could they let their own sons be so close to other people's sons?Wenxiu lowered her head to share the tea, thinking to herself, Your Highness is probably too lonely, if the empress can give birth to a prince -- just don't point out that His Highness has multiple arms in the palace, at least someone will be intimate with him, lest now His Highness is doing this to a little Taoist... Wenxiu couldn't help but look up at the two figures who were sitting close together.Qi Jun teaches seriously, but Zhibai learns perfunctorily, with a bitter look on his face, making people want to slap him twice.Wenxiu spat lightly in her heart, secretly cursing a short life.She didn't forget that this little Taoist almost caused His Highness to be buried in Shekou, and even wanted to steal Star Iron.Such a person, if she were His Royal Highness, she would never dare to use it.That is to say, there was really no help in the palace at this time, which forced His Highness to take the risk and use such untrustworthy people.

Alas——Wenxiu sighed softly, lighter than breathing, and was a little ecstatic, remembering the news from the queen’s court lady a few days ago—it’s time to choose a princess, if you choose a natal family The arrival of the eminent concubine is also a help, but I don't know which family the emperor and empress will choose. At that time, there will be one more master or even several masters in the East Palace. I don't know the temperament, and I don't know if it will be good. serve...
