Hide And Cultivate In The East Palace, Only To Find The Prince Is A Girl

Zhang Ronghua turned his head and looked at her, only seeing her side face. Her snow-white ears were small and exquisite, delicate and moving. Against the backdrop of her silky hair, she had a special charm.

For some people who love earlobes, these ears are better than anything else, and they can be exchanged for them without any negotiation.

at first.

He thought it was the prince's people who secretly solved Jingshen, but he didn't expect that it was her people. Thinking of the people the prince sent to Anzhou, he guessed in his mind that they were also her people?

I can’t understand it anymore! It was like a mist shrouded the prince's body. He was still the same person, but like the moon in the mirror or the flowers in the mist, there was mystery everywhere.

Thinking of everything that happened these days, especially the incident with the tenth prince, I made a bold guess, if he hadn't taken action at that time, would he have been tricked?

Seeing that he didn't speak and was staring at her earlobes, Su Qiutang was not annoyed and looked at him jokingly: "Does it look good?"

Zhang Ronghua came back to his senses and pointed at the sparkling lake: "It's quite beautiful."

"Aren't you curious?"

"Whatever you do in your capacity, you will do whatever His Highness orders you to do."

Snapped! Snapped!

Su Qiutang clapped his hands and cast an appreciative look: "Young and mature, he does things flawlessly and has strong ability to do things, which makes people like him."

I sat down on the lawn and didn't mind that the ground was dirty.

Lifting his right foot, he took off his black rose gold-encrusted boots, revealing a cyan sock. He took off the sock, revealing a delicate and perfect foot. The five toenails were dotted with neon-colored nail polish. Shining, moved towards the air, and said narcissistically: "Is it beautiful?"

Zhang Ronghua shook his head. She thought he wanted to say whether he was beautiful, but she heard him say: "I'm color blind!"

"Giggle..."

Su Qiutang smiled brightly and her clothes trembled, as if she wanted to express something. She threw him a pair of eyeballs angrily: "Slippery!"

Take off the boot of the other foot, take off the sock, and place the feet side by side. Under the sunlight, they are so beautiful that they are like works of art. The temptation is too great. It makes people feel angry when they look at it, and they want to be cruel. Knead and torture her hard.

"You don't know how to appreciate such beautiful feet. Are you afraid? Or are you afraid?"

Zhang Ronghua repeated again: "Color blind!"

Shaking his head and ignoring him, he put his jade feet into the lake water and swung them gently, causing ripples in the lake water to spread around.

Pointing to her side, Su Qiutang said: "Sit down."

Seeing that he was standing still, he rolled his eyes and pretended to be fierce: "Are you afraid that I will eat you?"

Zhang Ronghua knew that he couldn't hide away, so he had to sit down next to her, punching each other to keep the distance.

to be honest.

Su Qiutang is very beautiful. The beauty of a mature woman perfectly combines nobility, elegance, and style. Every move of her hands and feet carries a powerful charm, which is most fatal to a vigorous young man like him.

Seeing her was like seeing a replica of the queen, and evil thoughts couldn't help but pop up.

The two of them are almost identical, but the queen is colder and plays with power to the peak. Once she appears, the huge pressure that comes with her makes people feel ashamed from the depths of their souls. They can't think of any resistance and dare not look at her. Her eyes were even scarier than herself, pointing directly at people's hearts.

Zhang Ronghua didn't care, but he knew that Ji Xueyan's matter hadn't been figured out yet, so if he provoked Su Qiutang again, wouldn't he be causing trouble for himself?

The more beautiful a woman is, the more trouble she has! What's more, she still holds huge power. If she has this time, why not lick Shun Ji Xueyan first?

"The water quality here is good. It's good to take a dip occasionally to relax the soles of your feet. Don't you want to take a dip?"

"No!"

Su Qiutang did not try to persuade her any more, but took out a plate of black grapes, which contained rich spiritual energy, and placed it next to the two of them: "You're welcome."

He held one in his jade hand and threw it into the fragrant red mouth.

Zhang Ronghua didn't insist this time and started eating one bite at a time.

"After the crowning ceremony, the elders will know how to choose the word. Shimin has helped in advance. Strictly speaking, you can start a family and start a business now. Do you have a girl you like?"

"I'm busy with work and don't have time."

"The Phoenix Guards are all made up of women. They have advanced cultivation and strong strength. They are good in the hall and in the kitchen. They are good at running a household. Do you want me to introduce them to you?"

"Thanks!"

Su Qiutang shook his head, kicked his jade feet in the water, and shot out a water arrow, hitting the lake. He said stupidly: "Don't refuse in a hurry, just listen to what I have to say."

"With your ability, you can definitely have a bigger stage. The Dragon Guard has come to an end. It will only limit your development. I can give you whatever Shimin can give you. What I can't give you, I still have I can give it to you. Money, cultivation resources, and even beauties, as long as you nod your head, I will take care of Shimin’s side, and you don’t have to blame yourself. We are all our own, and the result will be the same between me and him."

Zhang Ronghua didn't answer.

Their eyes met, and persistence could be seen in their eyes.

Su Qiutang stopped joking and looked serious: "As long as you come here, I will arrange a mansion for you with five in and five out. You can choose the location and the resources will be freely available. If you like any Phoenix Guard woman, you just need to tell me her name and she will be yours. ! It also allows you to enter the palace arsenal again and choose a technique at will."

"I accept your kindness, but for now, I'm very satisfied with everything." Zhang Ronghua declined politely.

"I own a house. Although this compound only has three entrances and three exits, it is also a mansion. Some time ago, His Highness rewarded me with an inn. It is a golden chicken that lays eggs. If you have money, you can buy cultivation resources. As for beauty, things in heaven and earth, You should know, right? Ning Xuemei, right? The crime is in my hands, just like ordinary criminals. The palace arsenal is indeed very tempting, but the Xuanhuang Opening Sky Map I got last time has not been digested yet, and I can’t chew off more than I can chew. I still understand the truth.”

Su Qiutang suddenly stretched out two jade fingers and touched his chin. A pair of big eyes like autumn water seemed to see through him. Seeing that his eyes were pure and without any impurities, she didn't believe it. Is there anyone who could resist the temptation of a high-ranking official salary?

I have promised everything I can think of, so why am I still not moved?

Is Shimin's ability to win over people's hearts really so terrifying?

She doesn't believe it!

The jade hands were soft and warm, smooth and boneless. She gently touched his face, and the contact between the skin made people feel fascinated. A different kind of taste came out, and the fresh and elegant fragrance spread into her nose from her palms. , asked again: "Don't refuse in a hurry. People go to higher places and water flows to lower places. Learn a good skill and sell it to the emperor's family. Think about it carefully."

Withdrawing his palm, he pulled the jade feet out of the water. His true energy shook, and he dispersed the water droplets. He put on his socks, then his boots, and turned around to leave.

"call!"

Zhang Ronghua was almost suffocated. The temptation of this woman was too strong. He admitted that he almost fell in love with her. He let out a strong breath. When she provoked him, the flames rose. He felt as if something was blocked in his heart. Very uncomfortable.

Looking at the lake in front of me, I jumped up, drew a beautiful curve in the air, and landed directly in the lake.

Plop!

The water splashed up and scattered in the shape of raindrops, making ripples in circles.

Lake bottom.

Zhang Ronghua still felt uncomfortable, so he took off his coat, leaving only his shorts, and sat cross-legged at the bottom of the lake, thinking about her purpose.

Judging from what she just said, she seems to be representing herself. Considering her identity, she is most likely representing the queen, and the prince is the queen’s biological child!

We are in the same camp, why should we win over him?

It is assumed that the prince is not the queen's biological child, but it doesn't work. Judging from this period of time, their relationship is very good. Words can be deceiving, but eyes cannot be fake. This can be ruled out.

Thinking of how powerful the Phoenix Guard is, since she can win over him and others, and cultivate her power like crazy, could it be that she wants to wait for the prince to take control of the government after he succeeds to the throne?

The prince is also not simple. What is hidden in the secret?

The more I thought about it, the more confused I became, and I simply stopped thinking about it.

Use the Xuanhuang Opening Heaven Technique to put your mind into an ethereal state and drive away distracting thoughts.

royal palace.

Ningxin Palace.

Su Qiutang came in from the outside, and the palace maid retreated on her own, then closed the palace door.

Soft collapse.

The Queen lay gracefully and lazily on her side, supporting her head with her left hand, and holding a book in her right hand. Her straight and slender jade legs were wantonly exposed to the air. Her luxurious purple skirt was as thin as cicada wings, looming, inadvertently revealed. With infinite charm.

He glanced at her.

Su Qiutang sat down on the bed, holding an apple and a knife at hand, and began to peel it. The peel fell to the ground in circles one after another, very regularly.

"Failed?"

He handed the peeled apple over and picked up another one. Without looking back, he said seriously: "This person has a very strong will. He can actually remain indifferent to all the conditions I set."

"Shimin's methods are not simple."

Looking at the apple, the queen narrowed her majestic red phoenix eyes, opened her red lips, revealing two rows of white teeth, took a bite of the apple, and then said: "There is no perfect person in the world. The more he is like this, the more hidden he is." He has some kind of weakness, but we haven’t found it yet, so if we ask him to investigate again, I won’t believe it if he is tempted by his weakness, and he still can’t win him over!”

Su Qiutang rolled her eyes angrily: "I knew you wouldn't give up and would have people investigate. When you came back, you had already ordered people to continue the investigation!"

Squint your eyes, not believing in evil.

"I also want to know what his weakness is!"

…

East Palace.

Qing'er's face was serious, expressionless and cold, and she quickly entered the study from the outside. At this time, the prince had come back from the palace and was dealing with government affairs. When he saw her coming in, he closed the door of the palace, as if there was something important, and put it down. With the pen in her hand, Shuang'er poured a cup of spiritual tea and handed it over. She took the tea cup, took a sip, then handed the tea cup to Shuang'er and asked, "What happened?"

"The people below came to report just now. Su Qiutang came to visit Zhang Ronghua. The two talked for a long time at Jingxin Lake. They behaved intimately. They were afraid of being discovered and did not dare to get close. They could only hide in the distance and watch secretly."

The prince's expression changed and he thought seriously. Zhang Ronghua is the person he likes. Especially these days, he has shown great ability and can solve all kinds of emergencies. As long as he takes action, there is nothing he can't do. His strength should be More than just the surface, maybe he is a great master!

At such a young age, he is a great master. He was born in the Forbidden Army. It can be seen that his talent is so powerful that even Ji Xueyan and others cannot match it. Even if we look at the entire Great Xia Dynasty, even if compared with those old antiques, he will not be ranked first. One, also in the top three.

Because of this, he trained him at all costs. He first gave him the Golden Dragon Sword, then the Birds and Phoenix Fan, and also allowed him to enter the palace arsenal and choose any technique at will.

The rewards in terms of money and resources are not stingy, including spiritual objects. They are rewarded every few days, and they are treated as confidants.

But now, Su Qiutang actually wants to poach him, not even his aunt!

Because she does not represent herself, but the queen.

Just as Zhang Ronghua guessed, he is the Queen's biological child!

She must have done this under the instruction of her mother, otherwise she would not be qualified to be a Grand Master.

Qing'er knew the seriousness of the matter and did not dare to disturb him, but waited patiently.

quite a while.

The prince asked expressionlessly: "How did he behave after my aunt left?"

"First I glanced at the sky, and seemed to sigh again, then I jumped into the Jingxin Lake, and I haven't come out until now."

The prince smiled, a smile appearing on his face again.

A smart person like him can guess the result based on just a little bit of information. Even if it's not completely correct, it's still approximate. He can give them a reassurance: "He has already rejected it!"

"What if she invites you again?"

"If you can refuse once, you can refuse a second time! Moreover, if they can give, Gu can also give."

"My slave understands!"

Looking at Shuang'er, the prince ordered: "A batch of spiritual objects have just arrived from the East China Sea. Select some, plus ten pots of Tianqiong Jade Brewing. You can go there in person and go to Fuguifang to give them to Zhang Qin and tell him that you have been loyal to him all these years." Duty, thank you for your hard work!"

"If your Majesty finds out, will you have any other ideas?"

The prince is sure of victory and has no worries: "Give me something to express your condolences to my people. Even if the queen mother knows about it, she won't say anything."

Shuang'er agreed, turned and left.

…

Meditation Lake.

Zhang Ronghua has finished his training. His distracting thoughts have been eliminated and his thoughts are clear again. After the previous training, Xuanhuang Zhenyuan has become more refined again, and he will be able to break through in a few days.

He took out his clothes and put them on, rushed out of the lake with his feet slightly lowered, and landed on the shore in a few flashes.

The water droplets on the body have been evaporated by the Xuanhuang True Essence. Looking at the sky, is it already noon? Time flies.

Return to the courtyard.

Just in time to meet Yang Hongling coming, Uncle Shi brought her here. Just as he was about to leave, Yang Hongling stopped him, handed over the two spiritual fish he was holding, and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, Uncle Shi."

Zhang Ronghua was surprised: "Why are you here?"

Today, her style has changed. She is no longer wearing a tight-fitting dress that exposes her belly. She is wearing a waist-length black square dress on her upper body, which exposes her two white shoulders. Below is a short black skirt, very short. Most of her jade legs are exposed, and she is paired with pinhole stockings with black and gold patterns. They are as thin as cicada wings and very transparent. They cover up her two jade legs as if they are not worn, but this way, the temptation is even greater. , rising straight up, almost breaking through the sky.

One thing to say, Yang Hongling is quite good at matching and knows what kind of style can maximize her own advantages, just like now.

"Grandpa asked me to come."

Zhang Ronghua was suspicious and looked puzzled: "Is something wrong?"

"It's not a big deal. I'm about to break through. I'm just one battle away. But those guys from Destiny Academy have no backbone at all. When they saw me coming, their noses were sharper than cats. They hid far away and didn't even look at me. not see."

"Where's Xiaosi?"

It's okay not to mention it. When it came to it, Yang Hongling's eyebrows stood up, her Qiong nose pointed upward, and she was very unhappy: "As long as I am in the Destiny Academy, Xiaosi will never show up."

Zhang Ronghua understood. Xiaosi was afraid that she would bully her and leave a shadow, so she acted like this.

"When I thought about it, what grandpa said made sense. You have a high level of cultivation and are the best candidate for a sparring partner. But it's not good to go in empty-handed. I caught two spiritual fish from the spiritual lake."

Like a magic trick, he took out a ginseng plant and handed it over. It exuded a strong aura and looked to be three hundred years old.

"This is a thank you gift!"

Looking at the ginseng in his hand, Zhang Ronghua blinked and thought to himself, it is best not to stop sparring like this and continue!

I once again lamented that they were born in top powerful families and had great power behind them, but it was different.

Without being polite, he put away the ginseng: "Start now?"

"There's no rush! It's already noon, I'm waiting for dinner."

soon.

Shi Bo prepared lunch, including six dishes, one soup, two spiritual fish braised in braised sauce, two plates of spiritual fruits and a pot of Tianqiong jade stuffed rice.

Same as before.

Yang Hongling didn't regard herself as an outsider and only focused on filling her stomach. It was so rude.

After dinner.

The two stopped at the martial arts field in the backyard.

Yang Hongling looked serious and entered the state: "Are you ready?"

"bring it on!"

boom!

The Grand Master's seventh-level cultivation was not hidden at all. It exploded in full force. The powerful aura centered on her and enveloped the surroundings, forming a huge oppressive force and suppressing it domineeringly.

She patted the purse on her waist with her jade hand and took out a golden long sword. The sun, moon and stars were engraved on the sword, and the flames burned, emitting the breath of a spiritual treasure.

"This is my Lingbao Star Burning Sky Sword, you have to be careful!"

Then mobilize the awe-inspiring righteousness and bless it in the sword body, and the golden light will appear. The sacred and righteous power will be manifested, and it will be perfectly integrated with the flame of the sword body, adding twice the power.

"Haoran Ten Thousand Swords Technique!"

As soon as the Star Burning Sky Sword rolled up, hundreds of sword shadows appeared, bathed in golden light, hiding their power in the sword body. Like a bolt of lightning, they instantly appeared in front of Zhang Ronghua and stabbed his neck.

His body swayed to avoid her sword.

She patted the Five Dragon Yuling Belt with one hand and took out the Golden Dragon Sword. Since she had accepted her three-hundred-year-old ginseng, she had to put in some effort, otherwise she would not look good on her face.

Suppressing his cultivation to the same level as hers, he also used the Haoran Ten Thousand Sword Technique without using Haoran's righteousness. Even so, he was still bullying her. Facing the sword light coming from him, he thrust out the Golden Dragon Sword and blocked it.

Even though Zhang Ronghua had been practicing the Haoran Ten Thousand Sword Jue for a short period of time, with his heaven-defying talent, his attainments were higher than hers, and he was not far away from reaching the state of near-skills.

While controlling the strength and giving her enough pressure, he also pointed out her attainments in this magical power.

As time goes by.

Yang Hongling's eyes became brighter and brighter. Her grandfather told her that Zhang Ronghua was the best sparring partner. She didn't believe it at first, but now it turns out it's true.

While putting pressure on herself, she could also give guidance on Haoran's Ten Thousand Sword Art, allowing her to quickly improve her attainments in this magical power.

Two different spiritual lights flashed vertically and horizontally on the martial arts field, controlling the force without damaging the surrounding things.

She has a lot of combat experience and seems to have done a lot of actual combat.

Beautiful, rich, smart, knowledgeable, top-notch Bai Fumei!

An hour later.

Yang Hongling said: "The pressure is not enough, double it again!"

Zhang Ronghua responded: "Okay!"

The sword power changed, and hundreds of sword shadows appeared. Each sword shadow seemed to be solid, containing terrifying sword energy, blocking her dodge route, and attacked her like a storm.

A few minutes later.

Although Yang Hongling was in a state of embarrassment, even the stockings on her legs were torn, exposing several holes, her eyes were getting brighter and brighter. At this moment, a sword that gathered her energy and energy was thrust forward with all her strength.

The man and sword merged into one, regardless of each other, shooting out a huge vision, more and more golden light rushed out of the body, covering the entire martial arts field.

Zhang Ronghua knew that she was on the verge of a breakthrough, so he stabbed out with the same sword and collided with her Star Burning Sky Sword.

boom!

A terrifying air wave emitted from the sword body, and was about to rush out and destroy the surrounding area. Zhang Ronghua waved his left hand, and countless golden lights fell down, scattering the air wave.

Keng!

The golden dragon sword was returned to its sheath and put into the belt of the Five Dragon Yuling Spirits.

Looking at her again, she had already broken through to the eighth level of the Grand Master, and her aura was contained in her body.

"Congratulations!"

Yang Hongling put away the Star Burning Sky Sword and shook her head: "There is nothing to be happy about. Although my talent is good, I can only practice so quickly because of my strong family background. Otherwise, at my age, let alone a great master, I would be a grandmaster at most." territory."

"You are quite open-minded."

"Thanks!"

"Easy to do."

Yang Hongling said goodbye and left. After walking a few steps, she stopped and turned around: "Are you busy in the next few days?"

"You have something to say."

"If you have time, I'll take you to a good show."

"we'll talk about it then!"

Send her out of the house.

Zhang Ronghua did not go back. Taking advantage of the time he had now, he happened to go to the Dongcheng County Government Office to bring the prince's words to Chen Youcai and ask him to visit at noon tomorrow.

Got here.

The policeman at the gate of the county government stopped him. Seeing that he had a strong aura and extraordinary temperament, he did not dare to be presumptuous and asked respectfully: "Who are you looking for?"

"Tell you county magistrate, Zhang Ronghua is here."

"Hold on!"

He trotted in to deliver the message. Soon, Chen Youcai walked out quickly with a sincere smile on his face. He said enthusiastically from a distance: "Qinglin is here!"

He was not called by his name, but by his cousin Zhang Ronghua.

"Pingbo!"

This is Chen Youcai's nickname.

"Please come in!"

Entered the county government office.

Stopping directly in the study, Chen Youcai drove the maid away, made a pot of tea himself, poured two cups, placed one cup in front of him, and made an invitation gesture: "This is Lingxi tea, grown on the seaside. Although it’s not as good as spiritual tea, it tastes like sea water, how about giving it a try?”

"good!"

Holding the tea cup, he pressed the tea lid and took a sip. It was indeed as he said, with the lightness of sea water, a rare and top-quality tea.

Put down the teacup.

Zhang Ronghua said: "Your Highness asked me to tell you that I will wait for you in the East Palace at noon tomorrow."

Hear the words.

Chen Youcai finally let go of his worries and smiled brighter: "Please tell your highness that Pingbo will arrive early."

Chatted for a while.

As night fell, the maid came in, lit the candle, and then left.

Zhang Ronghua said goodbye and left. Chen Youcai insisted on staying with him for dinner and declined politely. He had plenty of time in the future, so he would not miss this moment.

Walking on the street.

Speeding up and heading back, maybe we can make it in time for dinner.

When he arrived at the small bridge, he stopped. There was a Taoist nun standing on the bridge, wearing a green robe and holding a whisk in her hand, as if she was waiting for him.

His cold eyes contained terrifying murderous intent, and his voice was even colder: "Are you Zhang Ronghua?"

"it's me!"

"Did you kill the matchmaker?"

Although he was asking, his words were full of affirmation.

"Are you her master?"

"It seems the news is correct, she did die in your hands."

Zhang Ronghua frowned and asked, "Who told you?"

Taoist Aunt Qinglian had no expression on her face and walked straight towards him: "A person who is about to die does not need to know too much!"

A flick of the whisk.

Countless black hairs rushed out, growing longer and larger in an instant, and violently smashed over with huge destructive power from the air. Wherever they passed, a powerful explosion of air could be heard in the air.

"You are too confident in yourself!"

She grabbed it from the air, and the golden light in her palm, blessed with Xuanhuang True Essence, grabbed all the green hair that was thrown at her, making it unable to move. Before she could react, she grabbed it roughly, and followed the green hair with supreme force, Counterattack towards her.

In front of this divine power, Taoist Aunt Qinglian's expression changed drastically, and her eyes almost popped out.

Not the sixth level of the Grandmaster Realm? How could he block his own casual blow?

Even an ordinary person in the heavenly realm would not dare to pick up his fly whisk with his bare hands. He would be seriously injured at worst, or die at worst.

But what about him?

He looked so nonchalant, as if he didn't use even 10% of his strength to neutralize his own attack, and counterattacked with the help of a whisk.

Have you been deceived?

Without thinking too much, the supreme divine power on Qingsi has already swept over her. If she delays any longer, her life will really be decided here tonight.

Not daring to hold anything back, all the soul power rushed out, and he cast a spell with his left hand, controlling this huge soul power. It condensed into a ten-foot-long black lotus, spinning at high speed in the air. With every turn, the flames burning on the body surface were powerful. It will increase by one point.

When his power reached its peak, he looked ferocious and roared: "Go to hell!"

Black Lotus arrived in front of Zhang Ronghua in an instant at the speed of crossing space.

The burning black flames could not even bear the void, and began to deform, sending out countless air waves. Once they fell on a person, an ordinary strong man would be burned to ashes in an instant.

But it met Zhang Ronghua!

Letting go of Qingsi, he probed domineeringly and grabbed it. The power it contained was so terrifying that it couldn't even break through his defense, let alone hurt him.

Taoist Aunt Qinglian's face changed drastically, and she lost her voice for the first time: "This is impossible!"

call out!

The afterimage flickered, carrying a huge strong wind, and appeared in front of her. In her fearful eyes, Zhang Ronghua roughly smashed the black lotus on her body.

puff!

She was hit hard and spit out a blood arrow, and she was beaten and fell into the river.

Zhang Ronghua shouted coldly: "Come out!"

A supreme suction force came from the palm of his hand, and before she could react, he sucked her out of the water, grabbed her neck, and smashed her roughly to the ground.

The ground shattered, creating a huge ravine.

He stepped on her chest and looked at her condescendingly: "Can I say it now?"

Taoist Sister Qinglian asked sternly: "You, you are a high-level celestial being!"

He stamped hard with the sole of his foot, breaking several ribs on her chest.

Zhang Ronghua said coldly: "Answer me honestly!"

"These beasts dare to lie to me. Even if I die, I will hold them back!"

As soon as he entered the capital, a shocked person appeared and told her the murderer of Shen Hongniang.

"Are these rats again?"

With a few clicks, a sword energy slashed her head open, and after touching the corpse, she got a book of soul skills and two thousand taels of silver.

Zhang Ronghua sneered: "Are heaven-level soul masters so poor?"

Shaking his head, he walked towards Zhuquefang.

As for this place, they will naturally take care of it when the patrolling officers and soldiers of the Fifth City Defense Division arrive.

Return home.

They didn't catch up with dinner, they had just finished eating.

Uncle Shi asked: "Have you eaten Qinglin?"

Zhang Ronghua felt uncomfortable calling him young master before, so he asked him to call him cousin.

"not yet."

"I'll get you a bowl of beef noodles."

Zheng Fugui said: "Cousin, didn't you go on a date with Miss Yang? Why did you come back hungry?"

"Who said that?"

"A man and a woman alone are together, isn't it?"

Zhang Ronghua smiled jokingly and waved to him to come out.

Arrive at the artificial lake.

"You can't stop practicing Qingdi Qingtian Kung. I'll help you increase your strength while I have time now."

Zheng Fugui wanted to run away, but he had just been beaten in the morning, and now he was here again, even the tough guy couldn't bear it.

Can he be faster than Zhang Ronghua?

He rushed forward, punched to the flesh, and greeted him roughly.

There was a pause.

"How much has your strength increased?"

"One hundred pounds!"

Zhang Ronghua frowned, and after a moment of thought, he understood that although the Qingdi Qingtian Kung Fu can increase the power, it does not increase endlessly. It also depends on the potential of the cultivator. The stronger the potential, the more power can be improved. With his master level It is already very rare for his cultivation to increase by one hundred kilograms each time. I am afraid that after a while, when the current potential is used up, his strength will not be improved. He can only continue to improve after he breaks through to the Grand Master and his potential increases.

"Why don't you go back to your house to practice!"

Zheng Fugui got up from the ground resentfully and rushed into the room.

"The Huo family did this very right. You can beat him anytime and anywhere without having to find a reason."

Shi Bo came out with beef noodles.

Before entering the lobby, I sat on the stone and started eating.

After eating, he put the bowl back in the kitchen, closed the door, and sat on the bed.

He took out the three-hundred-year-old ginseng gifted to him by Yang Hongling, with a look of expectation on his face, and refined its medicinal power to break through the bridge between heaven and earth and reach the realm of ascending to heaven. Once he reached this realm, he could soar to the top of the clouds and soar to the nine heavens. Flying between heaven and earth consumes a huge amount of real energy. Under normal circumstances, no one would do this. The gain outweighs the loss!

After taking three-hundred-year-old ginseng, the power contained in it is very strong, running rampant in the body, running the Xuanhuang Opening Heaven Technique and refining it, countless rays of golden light rush out from the body, illuminating the room like daylight.

The momentum soared, increasing every second.

I don't know how long it took, but with the sound of dragon's roar and thunder in his body, he broke through the bottleneck and broke through to the realm of ascending to the sky. The surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth poured into his body crazily, forming a huge vortex. It lasted for a long time before disappearing.

open one's eyes.

Zhang Ronghua felt that the Xuanhuang True Yuan in his body had increased tenfold compared with before. Although there was an increase brought about by the improvement of realm, it was still more Xuanhuang Opening Heaven Skill, which was replaced by Xuanhuang Baojian, which lasted two or three times. .

Take out the book of soul skills and record them in ancient texts.

He has done research on this.

As long as anything related to ancient times, nothing is bad.

I opened it and read it, it was a top-notch book called "Black Lotus Destroys the World".

After reading it once, put it into the Five Dragons Yuling Belt.

Mobilizing the power of the soul, according to its cultivation method, depicting the black lotus and flames, the heaven-defying talent, and the realm are here, it can be practiced quickly, and it took a little time to get started with it.

Looking at the black lotus suspended in the air, although it has just been formed, it contains about twice as much power as the black lotus displayed by Taoist Qinglian, and nodded with satisfaction.

A wave of his right hand.

The slowly rotating black lotus disappears, turns out the light, and falls asleep.

Morning.

As soon as he arrived at the East Palace, Qing'er came out of Xuanhe Hall and stopped in front of him, smiling: "Here we come!"

Zhang Ronghua asked: "Is something wrong?"

"I can't come to you if I have nothing to do?"

"You are a busy man. As long as His Highness is always with you in the East Palace, it is a busy time now. Even if you want to chat with me, you have to wait until noon. Then you will have some free time, unlike Shuang'er who has enough time. "

Qing'er rolled her eyes at him angrily: "You are too smart!"

State your purpose.

"His Highness is looking for you."

Zhang Ronghua nodded and guessed it.

Entered the Xuanhe Hall.

The prince was drinking tea. He pointed to the chair next to him and motioned for him to sit down. Shuang'er placed a cup of tea in front of him.

What happened yesterday.

The appearance of Su Qiutang made him feel a little bit of crisis.

Although I don't know what they talked about, if I think about it with my toes, I can guess that it was nothing more than a high-ranking official with a generous salary to draw him over.

Apart from sending Shuang'er to deliver spiritual fruit to Zhang Qin, he seriously considered it.

Now that he has decided to train Zhang Ronghua well, he cannot be limited to the East Palace. With his ability and his own help, he may be able to make a name for himself, gain a firm foothold in the court, and become a pivotal figure in the Great Xia Dynasty.

When that time comes, the help it brings is huge.

After thinking about it, I made up my mind.

The cup of tea was almost finished, but the prince hadn't spoken yet. Zhang Ronghua was not in a hurry and did not rush him. He looked at him from the corner of his eye. He looked good, his brows were relaxed, and there was no coldness in his eyes. It seemed that nothing serious had happened.

"How long have you been in the East Palace?"

"More than three years."

"Time flies so fast, and it has been three years in the blink of an eye. In the past three years, you have worked hard and have strong ability to do things. Especially recently, you have not messed up when encountering problems, acted on the spot, and solved things perfectly. I am very pleased."

Zhang Ronghua didn't understand what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he called him here just to have a heart-to-heart talk with him?

The prince said: "It is difficult for a military officer to rise to the top. If you want to be promoted, you have to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy. The more achievements you make, the faster you will be promoted if someone is promoted. In the East Palace, your official position has already ended. Even if you are promoted again, you will not be promoted." I cannot step into the court to discuss political affairs. I would like to hear your opinion. If you are willing, you will be transferred after a period of time. The position of Lieutenant General of the East Palace Guards remains unchanged and is a part-time job."

Zhang Ronghua frowned. This news is too big. He is used to fishing here and even going to the kitchen to steal food. No one cares about him. So he is going to be transferred?

After pondering for a moment, he asked, "What happened?"

The prince shook his head and said in a relaxed manner in a casual manner: "Don't think too much, this is a good thing! Isn't being an official just for glory and wealth? People go to higher places and water flows to lower places. Even if you are transferred, But the position here in the East Palace is still part-time, and you are still alone. It just makes your future path brighter and allows you to go higher and further."

Speaking of this, Zhang Ronghua had no reason to refuse, otherwise it would appear that his motives were impure. Furthermore, the position in the East Palace was still there, so he asked: "Where will he be transferred?"

"Bachelor's Pavilion!"

As if knowing that he was puzzled, the prince introduced it.

The Bachelor's Pavilion is located outside the palace. It is a training ground for talents. Those who can enter are those with strong connections or deep backgrounds. Talent is as indispensable as real ability.

In general.

The top three in the imperial examination are the number one, the second and the third best. They are gilded here in the first two years, and they have to go through qualifications to make their resume more beautiful.

Subsequently.

People with strong backgrounds will be transferred to other departments, and the last time they will be transferred to the county level to serve as county guards or other official positions, which have a high political status.

Civil servants regard it as a back garden for cultivating their own talents.

Zhang Ronghua frowned: "As a general, I am transferred to the Bachelor's Pavilion. It is too difficult to cross. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to operate, right?"

The subtext is that too many benefits have been sacrificed, is it worth it?

The prince stood up from the chair, walked to him and stopped in front of him. Seeing this, he also stood up, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's indeed a bit difficult. Even if you do it alone, it won't take a while." It can be done, and the exchange of interests is indispensable.”

Speaking of which.

With a serious look on his face, he said: "I believe in you!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"No matter where you go from now on, you will still be alone. The position here is reserved for you. If you are wronged outside, don't be afraid! Gu will support you. Of course, if something happens here, I will send someone to notify you. "

"Don't worry, Your Highness! I won't let you down."

Snapped! Snapped!

The prince clapped his hands, Shuang'er walked in holding the purple cat, took the purple cat from her arms, stroked it twice, facing the prince, the purple cat was very well-behaved and did not dare to make any mistakes: "This is Phoenix I intend to cultivate my descendant myself, but my energy does not allow me to do so. There are too many government affairs to deal with, so I will give it to you to take care of it for me."

The purple cat's fur exploded instantly, and its nerves were highly tense. In its eyes, it seemed as if it heard the most terrifying words in the world. It turned its head and said cutely: "Meow!"

As if to say, I don't want to leave you.

The prince's face tightened and he scolded: "Qinglin will be your master from now on!"

Handed it over.

Zhang Ronghua's heart was heavy. The news today was really too big. Whether it was about being transferred to Bachelor's Pavilion or giving away a purple cat, it had a special meaning. He understood!

If there was still a chance to get off the ship before, now even the door is welded shut, and there is really no chance. No matter how high his future achievements are, what position he is in, even if he climbs to the position of Sangong, the result will be the same. , he has always been the prince's man.

Taking over the purple cat solemnly, there is no need for smart people to say too much, let alone any sensational words.

The prince said: "Go down! After meeting Chen Youcai, accompany me to the Taifu's Mansion."

Exited Xuanhe Hall.

Stopping at the artificial lake, Zhang Ronghua petted the cat. The purple cat accepted its fate. Knowing that resistance could not change its fate, it did not dare to make any mistakes. It would be as obedient as it wanted to be, and it would accept it honestly.

Did the prince know about Su Qiutang's meeting with him yesterday?

Only he knows that everything just happened can be explained clearly.

Otherwise, why would a good person think about cultivating himself? He was also transferred to the Bachelor's Palace for gilding, and the price he paid must have been high. After all, he was a military commander, not a scholar. To say that he rose to the top in one step was not an exaggeration at all.

Thinking of the attack on Ma Ping'an and others the night before yesterday, it is not surprising that the prince sent people to hide in secret to protect his family, and then sent people to monitor him in secret.

Make sense of everything.

Zhang Ronghua looked at the purple cat and noticed his eyes. The purple cat also looked over and stuck out his tongue to please: "Meow~"

boom!

Bang a chestnut on its head and ask: "Are you afraid of me?"

The purple cat was full of desire to survive and kept shaking its head.

Looking at the artificial lake.

All the ornamental fish from last time were eaten by it, so Shuang'er purchased another batch and swam happily in the water.

Put it down.

The purple cat glanced at the fish in the water, and then at him, its eyes turning around. It was very smart. When it saw Zhang Ronghua, it didn't say anything and had a sullen face. It knew what to do.

He jumped in with a leap.

Ma Pingan happened to come over, saw this scene, and exaggeratedly said: "Isn't the purple cat too courageous? He even dares to eat the ornamental fish raised by His Highness!"

"It's just nature!"

A few breaths.

The ornamental fish in the lake was half eaten by it. Seeing that Zhang Ronghua didn't let it stop, he plunged into the water again and continued to eat!

"When will your inn open? Then I will step on the doorstep."

"Just these two days! Once things are sorted out and the staff is in place, we should be able to open the business."

"Okay! Remember to notify me."

Turn around and leave.

The purple cat finished eating the fish and rushed out of the lake. It used its cultivation power to evaporate the water droplets on its body. Just as it was about to jump over, Zhang Ronghua grabbed the back of its head and lifted it up.

"Wait for me here, don't run away! I'll take you home in the evening."

"Meow!"

Put it down and patrol the East Palace.

He stepped harder and deliberately made some noise. When he met the Dragon Guard and the Crown Prince's Guard, they saw their master coming. They put out 100% of their energy, looked forward with high spirits, and scanned the surroundings with majestic eyes.

Zhang Ronghua was very satisfied. He walked around and stopped at the main entrance at noon.

A carriage is coming.

The guard opened the curtain and Chen Youcai got out of the car.

"Qinglin!"

"Pingbo!"

After greetings, he led him towards Xuanhe Hall.

He went in and announced, and then let him in. Within a quarter of an hour, Chen Youcai left with a smile on his face. It seemed that the matter was done.

After sending him out of the East Palace, he didn't know where he got the news. Chen Youcai repeatedly told him that when his inn opened, he must be notified to step in.

Zhang Ronghua agreed with a smile. He couldn't refuse the favor.

The prince's chariot was ready. Eight sacred heavenly dragon-horsed chariots, escorted by him and two battalions of dragon guards, rushed towards the Taifu Mansion.

I felt strange.

What are you doing there at this time? Nothing major happened during this time.

With confusion.

He stopped at the door of the Taifu, knowing that the Prince was coming over. The floor had just been cleaned and some water was sprinkled. The threshold was covered with a red carpet. Uncle Zhong had been waiting for a long time.

The car stopped.

A dragon guard held a small horse and placed it here in the car. The curtain was opened, and the prince and Qing'er got out of it.

Uncle Zhong stepped forward, cupped his fists and saluted: "I have met Your Highness!"

The prince helped him up and said with a smile, "Uncle Zhong, you don't have to be like this."

"Miss has been waiting inside for a long time, please!"

The prince nodded and walked in front on the red carpet. Zhang Ronghua ordered the dragon guards to wait outside and followed him in.

Arrived in the backyard.

Ji Xueyan was sitting in the pavilion, playing chess alone. Yue Ya wrinkled her little face, almost turning into a bitter melon. After thinking for a long time, she couldn't see how the black piece could break the game under the siege of the white piece.

Footsteps sounded.

Seeing them coming, it was no surprise that Zhang Ronghua was also there as she thought. She felt complicated. After the incident in the East Palace last time, she didn't want to have any more interactions, but God made a joke with her and seemed to be teasing her. , Jingxin Lake pointed out the old master's manuscript, making his awe-inspiring righteousness further, and able to steadily surpass Xu Xirou.

The reason why she went to see him that night and gave him a spiritual object was because she didn't like to owe others favors, and she couldn't explain clearly because she wanted Zhang Ronghua's cultivation to improve faster.

Perhaps there is a big secret hidden deep in her heart. As long as he is strong enough and can single-handedly conquer the Great Xia Dynasty and withstand all the pressure, she can be with him.

Love that goes both ways is far more than one-sided love.

yesterday.

The prince asked Shuang'er to come over and deliver a message. He was a guest today. One was to cultivate feelings and the other was to cheer her up. After knowing this, her heart felt like being pricked by a needle and the pain was very severe.

I thought a lot in one thought, but showed nothing on my face. Even if I had some thoughts revealed, they were covered by a veil and could not be seen from the outside.

He stood up from the stone bench and bowed in salute: "I have met His Highness!"

The prince helped her up: "No need to be polite."

Looking at the chessboard, Heizi fell into a dilemma. He thought for a while, but he couldn't break it with his chess skills.

He turned around and looked at Zhang Ronghua: "Can you break the situation?"

Zhang Ronghua wanted to give him a kick, but he became transparent and called himself. He glanced at the chessboard and saw that Heizi wanted to break the game. Only by cutting off his arms and fighting for his life could he have a chance of survival. He didn't say too much: "You can try it!"

He walked over, took a sunspot, placed it on the chessboard, cut off the hind legs of the sunspot, and went into battle in exchange for the next number of moves.

Ji Xueyan frowned and turned her beautiful deep eyes in a circle, looking at the chessboard. She moved lightly, but it gave Heizi a chance to breathe. She glanced at him without trace and made a gesture of invitation. He sat down.

After a few moves.

Uncle Zhong came with an old eunuch whom Zhang Ronghua also knew. He had met Xiao Mi's grandfather, Eunuch Xiao, before in the East Palace.

After the ceremony.

Xiao Gonggong said: "His Majesty's oral instructions tell you to enter the palace now."

The prince asked: "What did your father say?"

"I don't know!"

Looking at Ji Xueyan.

The prince said: "Although Xu Xirou is good, compared with you, she is far behind. I am waiting for your good news."

"Your Highness, please worry!"

The prince said again: "Finish the chess game before moving on."

Qing'er also left, leaving only the three of them.

Yue Ya suddenly said: "Slave, go get some fruits."
