My father is Jiajing

Chapter 234 Prince Yu is growing up!
Zhu Zaigui looked at the "Art of Sex" in his hand in disbelief, then looked at Taoist Qingfeng. He hesitated and said, "Will this be useful?"

Taoist Qingfeng smiled slightly, and then said: "Your Highness will know once you try it."

After hearing what Taoist Qingfeng said, Zhu Zaigui was speechless. He had to try it himself?

But on second thought, it seems that I really have to try it myself, otherwise I really don’t know how effective it is.

Zhu Zaigui took a deep breath, put the book "The Art of Sex" into his sleeve, and then thanked Taoist Qingfeng: "Thank you, Immortal. Please thank Immortal Lan for his generous gift on my behalf when you return."

Taoist Qingfeng bowed back and said, "I will convey His Majesty's gratitude. When I came here, my master also told me to tell His Majesty that Xiantian Gong needs to be practiced diligently to achieve its miraculous effects. I hope His Majesty will not neglect it."

When Zhu Zaigui heard this, he was naturally grateful. He had benefited a lot from this practice in the past two years, and it had become a daily habit, which he would definitely not waste.

So Zhu Zaigui said to Taoist Qingfeng: "I have taken note of what you said, Immortal Master. I will practice Xiantian Gong every day."

Taoist Qingfeng nodded slightly, and reminded him with a smile, "The breathing method of Xiantian Gong combined with this treasure book may have miraculous effects. If Your Majesty has any questions in the future, you can send someone to Chaotian Temple to ask."

Zhu Zaiqi hummed and thanked again, "Thank you, Immortal."

Then Zhu Zaigui exchanged a few words with the Taoist Qingfeng and asked Meng Chong to escort him out of the palace.

After Taoist Qingfeng left, Zhu Zaigui carefully took out the book "The Art of Sex" which he had hidden in his sleeve and secretly took a look at it, as if he was guarding against a thief.

I originally thought that the content of this book "The Art of Sex" should be a picture album or scroll like a pornographic picture, but when I took a closer look, I found that it was actually a long passage of text with only a few illustrations interspersed in it.

Moreover, these illustrations also depict the way the meridians operate, which makes people feel very unusual at first glance.

As Zhu Zaigui read on, he unconsciously crossed his legs. He studied the contents of this precious book carefully, and couldn't help but sigh at the advanced ideas of the masters.

You have to know that throughout the ages, whether it was the Confucianism that was passed down or the imported Buddhism, they all put on the airs of aloof and upright gentlemen, and when it came to matters between men and women, they were all more pretentious than the other.

However, Zhu Zaigui was well aware that in today's world, the way the art of sex was spread had begun to become eerie.

Since Chenghua, the court had been competing to discuss the art of sex, and ministers had been offering aphrodisiacs to curry favor, resulting in the subsequent Ming emperors becoming increasingly ill-healthy. Not only did they have a short lifespan, but they also fell into the embarrassing situation of having no children to inherit their thrones.

This situation became even more widespread during the Jiajing period. Just from what Zhu Zaigui had heard secretly, many ministers who wanted to gain access to the imperial court presented medicine to Emperor Jiajing, believing that this was the "art of sex."

The most famous person among them is the favored Taoist priest Lord Tao Zhongwen. It is said that he often deceived Emperor Jiajing with talisman water and aphrodisiacs, saying that this was part of the practice of longevity. Emperor Jiajing almost believed what Tao Zhongwen said.

Especially Tao Zhongwen's words "two dragons never meet", which Emperor Jiajing regarded as a guiding principle. After the death of Prince Zhuangjing, he followed it even more cautiously and did not dare to go beyond this prophecy.

Therefore, under such circumstances, many people envied Tao Zhongwen's imperial favor, and began to imitate him and offer "magic medicine" to Emperor Jiajing, hoping to gain his favor.

But Emperor Jiajing was not stupid, and he did not dare to try elixirs of unknown origin easily, so the speculative actions of these people naturally could not gain the favor and recognition of Emperor Jiajing.

However, in corners that Emperor Jiajing could not see or control, there were some daring alchemists, Taoists, and officials who took advantage of the lack of information in the feudal era, and pursued women in the name of imperial edicts, extorted money for medicine, and poisoned the people.

Gradually, the reputation of the art of sex became worse and worse, becoming a synonym for unorthodox practices and debauchery. For this reason, a certain southern literary giant even wrote a strange book called "Jin Ping Mei" under the name of "Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng", which described the absurdity of human feelings and the turbid world with declining morals. It can be seen that nowadays, the reputation of the art of sex does not seem to be very good. Except for some sex-hungry ghosts who like to use drugs to take shortcuts, almost all normal people will try their best to restrain their desires and not get involved in these messy and evil ways that affect the righteousness of the body and mind.

So after Zhu Zaigui carefully flipped through the book "The Art of Sex" sent by Lan Daoxing, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems that this old Taoist priest really has some real skills and stuff. His book "The Art of Sex" does not contain any strange and lewd methods, nor does it contain any cultivation techniques using elixirs. The whole book talks about the circulation of Qi and meridians. Except for the illustrations which are not very serious, the rest of the book looks like a serious book no matter how you look at it.

"Forget it, forget it. I'll know what's going on if I try it tonight. If it doesn't work, I'll just stop using it. Anyway, I'm a real man with actual combat experience! And the teachers in my D drive have taught me a lot of skills, which will be enough for me to use for the rest of my life."

Zhu Zaigui thought so in his heart when he finally closed the book "The Art of Sex".

To be honest, he was really conflicted about the book "The Art of Sex". He was not as serious and trusting of it as he was about practicing "Xiantian Gong".

So after much thought, Zhu Zaigui decided that he should be cautious and try it carefully before making any decisions.

Anyway, as long as he was asked to take elixirs to assist in his cultivation, Zhu Zaigui would simply give up.

Because God knows what ingredients are added to the pill, and Zhu Zaigui still feels that he is so young now and is not yet at the age where he needs to take pills to survive.

If you ruin your body so early, what fun will there be in the rest of your life?

Moreover, Zhu Zaigui was determined to live to eighty, no, ninety years old, and become a long-lived star.

So how could he play around so easily?
Night fell quietly, and the "air conditioner" in the lobby was finally repaired and started working again.

Zhu Zaigui felt the cool breeze and couldn't help feeling a little excited.

Tonight is an important day for Zhu Zaigui. Meng Chong came over with a smile on his face, carrying a plate with four wooden plaques on it. On the plaques were written the names of the four female instructors: "Siqin", "Siqi", "Sishu" and "Sihua".

"Your Majesty, please choose one first, and I will go and inform them to prepare."

Zhu Zaigui raised his eyes and glanced at the wooden sign that Meng Chong brought over. During the day, because the four female officials were wearing veils, he did not have the time to see the true faces of the four coaches. So at this time, asking Zhu Zaigui to choose the female official to teach tonight was a bit like opening a blind box.

Zhu Zaiqi moved his hand around the plate a few times, finally grabbing one of the wooden signs and flipping it over. "This is her."

When Meng Chong saw Zhu Zaigui turn over the wooden sign, he quickly stretched his head to take a look and saw that it was Si Hua.

Meng Chong said, "Please wait a moment, Your Majesty. I will go and tell Madam Si Hua to prepare for her bath."

Ahem, I've been a bit slack these past two days, maybe it's because of the hot weather that I'm feeling tired... I'll try to adjust myself and try to resume my normal update schedule tomorrow.

Today's second chapter will be late, around one or two in the afternoon...
