Adoption brings disaster
Chapter 12
It is said that people in ancient times had very big imaginations, and Beishang State was the most supportive of the cultural industry, so storybooks naturally developed very well. And because the audience was mostly ordinary people, they were more easy to understand.
The more I watched, the more I wanted to watch, and I was completely fascinated. If Chunyu hadn't come over with a worried look on her face and said, "It's late, please go to bed early, my masters," I'm afraid I wouldn't have noticed that the Seventh Prince hadn't returned yet.
I gave the storybook to Chunyu and waited for a long time. The moon was already high in the sky, but the Seventh Prince still hadn't returned. For a moment, I started to have all sorts of wild thoughts in my mind.
I also understand that the Seventh Prince is a bully in this palace. He is the one who bullies others, and no one will ever bully him. Besides, he has A-da and the others by his side. Even if there are some ignorant people, they can't do anything to the Seventh Prince. Despite this, I am still very worried.
After a while, the Seventh Prince still hadn't returned. I was really worried, so I sent everyone in the pavilion out to look for them.
But the palace was too big, and these servants were not allowed to go to many places because of their low status.
Everyone searched for an hour and searched everywhere they could, but there was still no sign of the Seventh Prince. This made me even more worried.
"Could he have gone back to the Imperial Concubine?" I asked while pacing back and forth.
"No, the central pavilion and the harem are separated and guarded by guards. I asked Xiaotian to ask, and he didn't see the seventh prince." Chunyu was also worried, but still analyzed rationally.
I know in my heart that the Seventh Prince is more familiar with the situation in this palace than any of us. With the advice of A Da and others, it is really easy for him to find a place that we can't find.
I had no other choice but to think resentfully in my heart that when he came back, I would definitely teach him a lesson and see if he dared to run around again.
Since the Seventh Prince still hadn't showed up, all they could do was wait. When the moon had moved to the other side and the guards outside had started to change shifts, the Seventh Prince finally came back.
I saw the Seventh Prince and the four eunuchs sneaking back, and I was also very upset. I quickly walked up to them and said angrily, "Where have you been fooling around? Why are you back so late?"
"I walked a little far while taking a walk, and before I knew it, it was late." The Seventh Prince did not answer, but just said perfunctorily.
How could I tolerate such an answer? I was about to teach the Seventh Prince a lesson when Xiaodi muttered from behind, "A'er, how did your arm get hurt?"
Ah Er pretended not to hear and said nothing, but Ah Da said, "He's not very skilled, so I beat him."
My heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the Seventh Prince was offended by me and found a place to torment these servants?
I can't ask this directly, I can only observe slowly later. If this is really the case, I have to find a way to change the Seventh Prince. I can't raise a cruel prince who takes his anger out on others.
I couldn't alert the enemy about this, so I pretended to be very sleepy. After complaining a few words, I yawned and said, "Now that I'm back, I'll go to bed early. I have to get up early to practice martial arts tomorrow."
I don’t know if the Seventh Prince had vented his emotions or what, but he was surprisingly happy now. He let Chunyu and the others serve him, and then happily went to bed and waited for me to sleep together.
I know in my heart that when educating children, we cannot rush into it and we need to be patient as there is always time to grow.
Therefore, I did not mention his late return. I just hugged the Seventh Prince and said, "Chongguang, if there is anything that makes you unhappy, you must tell me."
Chongguang didn't say anything, but just agreed happily, and then fell asleep quietly, as if he had forgotten everything that happened during the day, and there was no conversation all night.
Early the next morning, Chunyu called out again from outside, "Xiaodi, hurry up and wait for the masters to get up."
I heard the cry of spring rain, then looked at the dark window, calculated the time, and thought about having to get up at this time every day in the future. I felt that life was dark. This job is really difficult. I don’t want to do it anymore, what should I do?
But the key to educating children is persistence, and you can't give up halfway. My heart was in denial, but my body was struggling.
"Good morning, Yuanqing." For some reason, the Seventh Prince was in a very good mood and not even grumpy about getting up. Instead, he greeted me cheerfully.
I looked at the spirited Seventh Prince and found it really hard to understand why he was so happy. He was not like this when he woke up yesterday. He was in a very bad mood. Why was he so happy today?
Although I was very unhappy in my heart, I still looked happy on the surface and praised the Seventh Prince with a smile.
It would be best if the child could get up, and it would save me a lot of trouble, so I praised him again.
Xiaotian saw us get up, opened the door, and a group of people came in carrying all kinds of things, helping us wash and dress. No need to mention it.
The Seventh Prince deliberately wore a training suit today, and he actually looked a bit like the heroic King of Zhenbei. And I was like an octopus hanging on others, letting them wash and dress me.
Fortunately, it was winter and the cold wind made me more awake. If it were summer, I would probably have to practice martial arts with my eyes closed.
Soon, everyone came to the martial arts training ground. Taoist Tianshu was still standing in the same place as yesterday. When he looked at me, his expression was a little unnatural and even a little embarrassed.
I knew very well that as long as I was not embarrassed, others would be embarrassed, so I greeted him openly. Taoist Master Tianshu was also influenced by me and started the normal teaching process.
It is very important to practice the basics of martial arts. The first one is the horse stance. I sighed and resigned myself to my fate as I walked to the same position as yesterday. When I was about to squat, Taoist Tianshu said, "Yuanqing, go practice yesterday's exercises. The horse stance will not benefit you."
When I heard this, I was so happy, but I also knew that the Seventh Prince would definitely not agree and might even make a scene. If he did, it would cause more trouble.
I felt bitter, looked at the Seventh Prince, and said firmly: "No, I can practice with Chongguang."
"You should go and practice. I don't need you to accompany me." The seventh prince said very sensibly.
I sighed in my heart, my good son has grown up in just two nights. The old father is very pleased. Then he happily walked to the side and started practicing on his own.
This technique is simple and doesn't take long to practice. Every time I finish practicing, I go to see if the Seventh Prince has practiced seriously.
It’s like being a teacher in school. When I have nothing to do, I like to look in through the window to see which child is not paying attention in class.
The Seventh Prince was quite serious and hardworking. Moreover, due to his strong muscles and the help of the King of Zhenbei, he was much better than others in martial arts.
Seeing that the Seventh Prince was so serious and practiced so well, I felt relieved and practiced the skills taught by the Taoist priest seriously myself.
This exercise can help people calm down. As I practiced it, I became addicted to it. They all watched from the side for a long time, but I didn't notice.
"Your Highness the Seventh Prince, although His Highness Yuan Qing is not as talented as you, he is much more hardworking than you. Diligence can make up for lack of talent. You should be careful not to be surpassed by him." Taoist Tianshu said with satisfaction when he saw how hard I was working.
The Seventh Prince did not refute, but simply said: "There is one thing that is not quite right."
Taoist Tianshu's ears turned red when he heard this, but he pretended to be calm and said, "I stopped teaching here yesterday. If I had taught you, I believe that with Your Highness Yuanqing's diligence, you would have learned it in no time."
"Let me teach you." The seventh prince said, and then he came to my side and took my hand.
Taoist Tianshu looked at the Seventh Prince who was holding my hand and correcting my movements, and murmured, "In just those few hours yesterday, you completely mastered it. This talent is worthy of being the grandson of the King of Zhenbei. It is truly rare in the world."
Under the guidance of the Seventh Prince, the mistakes were corrected and the effect was significantly improved. It was so comfortable to feel the flow of true energy in the body.
But there is still a little bit of stagnation in one place, so I am always very careful every time I go there.
At this moment, the Seventh Prince suddenly exerted force, and the feeling of stagnation immediately disappeared. His true energy flowed like a river, free and unrestrained.
I felt something flowing into my body along with the true energy. This thing was very submissive and not aggressive at all, just like a naughty little fish in a river, playful and full of vitality.
The little fish was tumbling in the meridians, bumping into my meridians from time to time. A feeling of electric shock rushed straight to my forehead. I couldn't help but scream, which pulled me out of my state of trance.
I looked at the Seventh Prince holding hands with me and practicing martial arts together and couldn't help but be stunned.
The Seventh Prince looked at me and smiled happily. The little fish in his meridians became more lively, and a tingling and numb feeling as if I were electrocuted spread throughout my body. I screamed loudly with pleasure.
The screams were too embarrassing, and I wanted to shake off the Seventh Prince's hand, but my body and my true energy were under the Seventh Prince's control, and he practiced the exercises with me over and over again.
My screams were getting louder and louder. The sounds were so shameful that I wanted to dig a hole and bury myself alive.
After the last round of practice, I felt like my body was about to collapse. I had no strength left in my body and fell limply to the ground.
The seventh prince was quick to catch me, then picked me up like a princess and quickly returned me to bed.
Taoist Priest Tianshu followed behind and sighed, "His Highness the Seventh Prince is truly gifted. He was just an ordinary child with no martial arts skills before, but in just two days, his martial arts skills have improved so much. In time, he will definitely surpass me."
Ah Er, upon hearing this, naturally felt proud and quickly echoed, "Your Highness is truly amazing! The beating I received yesterday was truly well worth it."
"Your Highness had actually already learned it when the Taoist priest practiced it for the first time. But the beating you received was not in vain, at least Your Highness feels relieved." Ah Da said with a smile.
........................
I lay in bed for a long time before I recovered from the numbness. I felt so comfortable. This must be what Taoist Tianshu meant by perfection.
I am now like a child holding a favorite toy, wanting to show it off to everyone.
I looked at everyone and said happily, "The true qi is really amazing. The true qi of the King of Zhenbei is like fire, especially warm. The true qi of Taoist Tianshu is like water, especially gentle. And Chongguang's true qi is like an electric shock, making the whole body numb."
Just as I was happily discussing my discovery, the Seventh Prince suddenly asked, "Whose Qi do you like the most?"
Hearing the Seventh Prince ask this, I said without thinking, "Of course, Taoist Tianshu's true qi is the most comfortable."
This obviously annoyed the Seventh Prince. His Qi immediately rushed into my body, and I felt a tingling sensation again. When I recovered, the Seventh Prince asked again, "Who do you like the most?"
I looked at his hands that were about to move on me, and decisively admitted defeat: "Zhongguang's true energy is still the most comfortable. You are indeed my good son. Daddy just likes you."
Looking at the Seventh Prince's satisfied expression, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, what a damn desire to win this naughty kid has.
After coaxing Chongguang, I looked at Ada and the others next to me. Suddenly, I had a good idea and said excitedly, "I want to try out what your true qi feels like."
After hearing this, they teleported to the door in an instant, and it felt like their speed was even faster than that of the King of Zhenbei.
They were still shaking their heads at the door, telling everyone how reluctant they were.
Taoist Priest Tianshu saw that I was serious and smiled, "In fact, letting other people's true energy enter your meridians is a very dangerous thing. At the very least, you will go crazy, and at the worst, you will die suddenly."
I was a little skeptical of this, and looked at Taoist Tianshu with suspicion, saying suspiciously, "What about me?"
"Your situation is special. The King of Zhenbei has reached the pinnacle of martial arts and can control his true energy like an arm. Naturally, he won't let you get hurt. I have some knowledge of medicine, and the true energy entering your body can also protect you well. As for His Highness the Seventh Prince, you are father and son, connected by blood, which is also different from others."
After listening to Taoist Tianshu's words, I looked at him suspiciously and said, "Even if you don't have any knowledge, you should have some common sense. I am as old as Chongguang, how could he be my biological son?"
After hearing this, Taoist Tianshu realized he was foolish and felt extremely embarrassed. He then said, "His Highness the Seventh Prince is truly gifted. He has gained such control over his Qi in just a few days. His Highness Yuanqing is also very talented. He can actually sense the difference in other people's Qi."
"What's the name of the martial arts you taught me? It seems quite useful." Seeing that Tianshu was really embarrassed, I changed the subject.
Taoist Tianshu heard this and said a little embarrassedly: "This is a martial art I created myself. It doesn't have a name yet. Yuanqing, you are the first one to practice it. Why don't you give it a name?"
I looked at Taoist Tianshu with some confusion and said, "I'm the first one? Aren't you afraid that I might do something bad?"
"No, King Zhenbei improved this set of skills. And even if there is any problem, I have the confidence to rescue you."
I was a little angry. It turned out that I was just a little white mouse. I was very unhappy for a moment, so I said, "I am just a little white mouse. This set of exercises will be called the White Mouse Exercises."
Taoist Tianshu seemed not to hear the sarcasm in my words. Instead, he thought the name was very good. He immediately decided to call this set of exercises the White Rat Exercises and not mention it anymore.
Predict what will happen in the future, and listen to the next decomposition.
