IX Cultivation

Chapter 21

The people around who were supposed to come forward to meet the prince fell silent for a moment. Even Su Mian, who was standing behind Ji Xi, looked at the man not far away in disbelief, as if he had seen some monster favored by time. It has been ten years. , The appearance has not changed!

Su Mian frowned subconsciously, wanting to quietly pull Ji Xi's sleeve to say something, turned her head, but saw Ji Xi's eyes brightened and stared at the man in snow-white clothes but with a touch of scarlet between his brows, that was the man she had never seen before. Unseen expressions.

It seems that the soul has been hooked and disappeared.

Looking around again, there are all people who hold their breath in amazement.

Su Mian clenched her hand on her heart, and staggered back a step...

042-043. Incident

The prince who has returned to the palace after ten years has many things to do, such as meeting Emperor Huan En, greeting the Empress Dowager and the Empress, getting to know each other with ministers, having meals with his family, etc. indispensable.

Wan Ling didn't want to get involved, and Ji Jue didn't want Wan Ling to follow him around like this, so he wanted to arrange a place for Wan Ling to rest freely. However, after seeing Emperor Huan En, Emperor Huan En directly Arranged Wan Ling to rest in the harem, and did not mind the ban on foreign ministers not being allowed to enter the harem.

What is the significance of it, Wanling Immortal never pays attention to it, he only saw the smile of the prince he raised froze for a moment, so he thanked him for the gift.

Emperor Huan En is now five or sixty years old, with a small beard, but he looks much more lethargic than ten years ago. It is hard to imagine that such a slightly lethargic man would be the heroic and extraordinary man who was the only one who respected me ten years ago. the emperor.

Before meeting Emperor Huan En, Wan Ling greeted Ji Xi, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time, and the other party seemed to rush over to give him a hug if there was no one around. Hey, wait, Ji Xi is still a little shy Yes, Prince Ji Jue is the only one who has such a strange habit of hugging people when he is happy.

These years Ji Xi lived like an ordinary person, and the things she said she wanted to practice at the beginning seemed to be forgotten, and she didn't mention it anymore, probably because she had figured it out, otherwise Wan Ling really didn't know how to persuade her.

It's just that the woman who has been following Ji Xi looked at him with uncomfortable eyes, and Wan Ling was puzzled. When they looked at each other, the woman hurriedly looked away, which made Wan Ling feel lazy after a few times. Reasonable.

Immortal Wanling has always adhered to the principle that his own affairs should not be more than three. When he is impatient, in the words of Immortal Luofu, it is simply inhumane.

However, all spirits are gods and not human beings, do they need human nature to eat them?

Under the leadership of the first ten and the last ten maids, the Wanling Immortal walked through a beautiful plum garden and passed a pond covered with thin ice before arriving at the temporary resting place awarded to him by Emperor Huan En.

Looking up, there is a huge plaque with three large characters of "Xifeng Pavilion" inlaid with gold. That's right, but Wan Ling doesn't know these ways, and after a casual glance at such a palace, compared with his own Wan Ling Palace, he only feels that it is mediocre.

Wan Ling didn't even have the desire to visit this Qifeng Pavilion. After sitting by the window and drinking a cup of tea, he was going to go for a walk. Who would have thought that as soon as he walked around, there were at least twenty or so people who followed him all the time. The maid followed suit, and Wan Ling had no choice but to sit back in her original seat, casually called a court lady who looked pleasing to the eye, and asked, "Why are you following me?"

The maid's name is Wen Jing, she looks young, but she has served several generations of concubines, and has seen countless beauties, but when she saw this man in front of her, she was still dazed and almost didn't react.

The men in front of you are not those women in the palace who are smeared with thick rouge. They are not soft and charming, but just looking into your eyes makes people feel like drinking warm wine in early spring, and falling drunk in the bright sun after drinking a cup.

The appearance is incomparably handsome, the skin is as white as snow, the dark eyes are brightened by the light, and there is a red mark between the brows. He looks like a desolate and magnificent person. It is only natural for such a person to be favored by the emperor.

Wen Jing has also seen the pampered by the emperor's side, and she doesn't know how different it is from this person in front of her.

Maybe serving this person will get more benefits, and it may not be possible to climb higher...

There is no one in the palace who does not think about his own interests all the time.

"Returning to Mr., His Majesty told us to serve Mr. well. If Mr. makes a mistake, then we will..."

Wen Jing didn't finish her sentence, she kept it blank and let the man imagine for himself, but Wan Ling didn't play his cards according to common sense, saying: "This is the palace, how can there be mistakes?"

The man's voice came from the maid's ear, which was indifferent but pleasant, but she never dared to raise her head to look at the man, so she could only truthfully say: "Sir, I don't know. It has nothing to do with my husband listening to this matter, after all, most people in the palace know about it, but they dare not spread it outside..."

"Oh, what's going on?" Wan Ling looked at the court lady who was kneeling respectfully in front of her, and asked lazily with her hands resting on the armrest of the armchair.

Wen Jing said: "Everyone says that the palace is haunted..."

"The ones who disappeared are also people from the harem. Her remains will be found in a certain well the day after her disappearance. It's like being sucked dry of her blood, leaving only bones and a layer of human skin... "

"Later, the national teacher came and said that there was a monster in the harem, and he was planning to use a method to get rid of the monster in the next year."

"What's a monster or a human?" Suddenly, a female voice sounded from outside the door, and heard the voice before seeing the person, Wan Ling looked up, and saw the Firefox, the queen, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, being surrounded by a group of people. The maids stepped into the main hall in a crowd, smiling all over their faces, and fixed their eyes on Wan Ling as soon as they entered, and said with a sweet smile, "Long time no see, sir."

The court lady Wen Jing, who was kneeling on the ground, shuddered and frowned. She wanted to remind the man who had just stepped into the harem and didn't know how deep the water was, but she didn't expect that before she could speak, she heard the man just answer coldly. The queen said a word: "Yes."

What's even more strange is that the queen seems to be extremely gentle and polite to this man whom Emperor Huan En has clearly taken a fancy to. She just whispers softly to the servants and asks them to go out first. Chat alone, catch up on the old days.

Here, no one dares to defy the queen, at least when the emperor is away, no one dares to oppose the queen.

The palace people all retreated, but Wen Jing's heart was pounding, and she was in a hurry to tell Emperor Huan En a little about the harem affairs, otherwise if something went wrong, they would be the first to be unlucky.

Not to mention how Wen Jing left quietly, the interior of Qifeng Pavilion is another scene.

Empress Zhong Hui quickly propped up the illusion as soon as the outsiders left. A suit of gorgeous clothes was spread on the ground as the empress knelt down. Fox fur began to grow on her originally fair and clear face. In the blink of an eye, her original shape was revealed. come out!

Wan Ling sat in his seat, except for a little surprise at the beginning, he watched the Firefox indifferently show its original shape, the whole process was as normal as watching a magic trick.

Firefox spat out a Buddhist bead, the bead was full of cracks, she cried and knelt at Wan Ling's feet, tears wet the hair around her eyes, and said in a pitiful voice, "Old Ancestor..."

"Old Ancestor, save me!"

"The little demon is really innocent, but he was pursued by the national teacher, and the child I was pregnant with also sucked up my morality. Now the little demon has no other way, so I finally waited for you, ancestor, please save me!" Help me, or I will be found by the national teacher, and I will die..."

"Oh." Wan Ling responded lightly.

Firefox raised its pointed face, a pair of long and narrow red eyes on the furry face, the appearance of the fox face is really weird, but in the eyes of Wan Ling, there is nothing strange, his former younger brothers have not yet seen it. This is also often the case when you reach a high level of cultivation. Either the upper body is the lower part of the body, or it is the other way around. In short, none of them are normal.

Firefox said excitedly: "Ancestor, you promised to save me?"

The Wanling Immortal shook his head: "This is your life, your karma, what do you want me for?"

Firefox froze for a moment, his eyes filled with unbelievable gloom.

On the other side, a court lady accidentally bumped into the prince Ji Jue who was talking to the third prince. She fell to the ground, her face paled. The palace maid blushed when she heard the prince smiling and asking him when he panicked.

The palace lady Wen Jing couldn't help telling the story in detail, and then raised her eyes, only to see the tall backs of the prince and the third prince leaving, and finally a cough sounded in front of her, only to find that the princess Su Mian was still in front of her eyes , suddenly turned pale, and quickly saluted.

As a result, as soon as the hand was placed on the ground, Princess Sumian stepped on the maid's hand and walked sideways, leaving a faint sentence: "It's a lot."

044-045. The eyes are so perverted

When Emperor Huan En learned that the queen had gone to Qifeng Pavilion, he frowned slightly, left a group of ministers who were kneeling in the imperial study waiting for him to make decisions, looked more at the court lady who came to inform, and set up a sedan chair past.

Emperor Huan En is old, his back is hunched, and his eyes are not as cloudy as before. He seems to have lost his vitality in the past ten years, like an ordinary old man, but he still refuses to admit his old age and is reluctant to let go of everything he owns. , While conceited, he was complacent about his previous achievements, and then blamed all the bad things now on the dirty things in the palace.

The national teacher is a master apprentice from the famous Qianren Taoist Temple in the world. He can ride the clouds and ride the fog, call the wind and rain,
