Chapter 1 The Prince's Mansion accompanies the reading boy
The State of Chu is one of many ordinary countries in the Yanxiu Continent, covering an area of one million square kilometers, with a city of 60, and its capital is established in Xuanjing. It is one of the three largest countries within a radius of ten million kilometers, and its national strength is considered good. The lord is an 18-year-old boy who has been newly ascended the throne less than five years. In recent years, all the military and political affairs of the State of Chu have been on the lord's uncle, the King of Chu who has not been concerned about political affairs for ten years.
The royal family was not uncommon in history, but the prince above ten thousand people, who was alone in Chu State, was not interested in this position. The reason why he stood up was simply because he was the number one master of Chu State and had great prestige in the army. Only he could suppress the ministers in the court and stand up after the instructions of the former emperor. He just waited for the king to become sensible and returned to the king.
"I remember singing together with the Golden Palace, the spring breeze spreads to the prosperity of the country, but now I am a poor official. I have been in the world for ten years, and I have been carrying the flowers of Qujiang River. I heard that Langshan is connected to Langyuan, and the tower is high and I cannot see my family. The lonely city is cold and sunny. The sorrow of parting is hard to end, and the mangroves are far away and the clouds are connected..." The sound of reading aloud came from a luxurious study room, and it never stopped for an entire hour.
An hour passed, and the back window of the study suddenly opened. A handsome boy in his teenage movements skillfully flipped in. The boy who was reading in the study breathed a sigh of relief, put down the book, and whispered: "Criminal, you are finally back. If you don't come back, the princess will come to check the rounds."
The handsome young man rushed into the back of the screen with great skill, changed into clean and gorgeous clothes, washed his face, and said, "Zhuxin, don't worry, when did I expose the filling? Thank you again, let me do it."
"It's not hard for a villain. The prince will do whatever he ordered. This is what the villain should do." Fang Zhuxin stood up and gave up his seat, walked behind the screen and changed into a blue and black servant robe.
Fang Zhuxin had just changed her clothes and walked out, standing behind the handsome boy, standing quietly for a while. A knock on the door rang out from outside: "God, open the door."
"It's the princess." Fang Zhuxin said softly, walking to open the door.
A luxurious and beautiful young woman walked in from outside the door, followed by a group of maids, carrying some extremely exquisite snacks.
"Have you finished reading the book?" asked the young lady lovingly, "If you are tired, come and eat something before continuing to read it."
"Mother, I have been studying for more than an hour and I can rest today." The handsome young man replied with a smile.
"Oh, that's good. Your father will come back from Xuanjing in a few days and will have to take your homework. If he fails, he will be punished severely." The young woman said.
"Don't worry, Mother, the child is not afraid of fire to refine it." Chu Tianci said with a smile.
The Princess Chu didn't say much, and looked at Chu Tianci with a loving look on her face. She knew that although her child was naughty, she was indeed extremely smart, and this little homework would not hurt him.
"Zhuxin, come and eat something too." Chu Tianci called Fang Zhuxin and sat down to eat together.
"Criminal, this is not in line with the rules. After all, the villain is just a servant." Fang Zhuxin knew the rules very well. He knew what to do and what not to do, so he quickly refused.
"Oh, forget it." Chu Tianci did not force any more.
The Princess Chu nodded secretly, very satisfied with Fang Zhuxin's performance, and said with a smile: "Zhuxin, you have worked hard to study with the prince, so you can eat something."
The princess spoke in person. Fang Zhuxin took the pastry handed over by the maid and bowed and said, "Thank you for the reward of the princess." She ate it in small mouthfuls.
"You little guy, when you took you into the palace, you were only three years old, and nine years have passed in a blink of an eye." The Princess Chu seemed to be missing something.
"Prince, the princess and the prince's kindness to the villain, and the villain will never be finished in his life." Fang Zhuxin replied sincerely. If it weren't for being picked up by the princess back then, he would have been frozen to death and starved to death on the streets. Although he was still very young, Fang Zhuxin remembered the scene when he woke up from a coma, and in recent years in the royal palace, the kindness of the family of the Chu royal palace to him was really higher than the sky and deeper than the sea. The name "Zhuxin" was also chosen by the princess.
As night fell, Fang Zhuxin lay in his room, recalling the days when he first entered the palace when he was a child, he held a jade pendant worn on his neck, and the jade pendant was engraved with the word "Fang" in seal script. This was something he had brought since he was a child. Because of this jade pendant, Fang Zhuxin did not follow the head of the palace's owner's surname "Chu". As the prince's clerk, his status was naturally slightly higher among the servants of the palace, so Fang Zhuxin lived alone in a single room in the outer courtyard of the palace. In the palace, he had such treatment. Among the servants, there were only three chief and deputy butlers and teachers. Fang Zhuxin has always grown up under the jealous and envious eyes of the servants of the palace, and over time, he has not been very sociable.
Time flies quickly, and three days pass by. The King of Chu, who had been away from the mansion for many years, finally took up the burden, returned to the current king's power, and returned to his fiefdom.
When the King of Chu returned to the mansion, it was naturally a major event for the mansion. Early in the morning, the servants from the outer courtyard were busy preparing under the greeting of the butlers.
In the palace, there is a concubine, eight concubines, and more than a dozen concubines in the inner courtyard.
Chu Tianci was born by the princess, so he was naturally the prince of the royal family. In fact, the King of Chu had far more than one son, and there were nine sons in total, the older one was sixteen or seventeen years old, and the younger one was only six years old. Although Chu Tianci was the direct prince, he was only fifth in the future, and he had four older brothers above him. Of course, in terms of status, many young princes of the royal family regarded him as the most respected.
The State of Chu governs the country with etiquette, etiquette, benevolence and filial piety. This etiquette cannot be abolished. As the direct concubine, Chu Tianci's mother talked about it in the inner courtyard of the royal palace. No concubine dared to interrupt, let alone the concubine. Generally, the concubine disliked which concubine would even be abolished directly! Fortunately, the Princess of Chu was born with noble origins and virtuous virtues. Such things have never happened in the Princess of Chu. However, it is precisely because of this that Fang Zhuxin, as a person, was deeply loved by Chu Tian.
The servants who gave him trust were in a very depressed situation. The other young princes of the royal family who did not dare to cause trouble for Chu Tianci could only find trouble for Fang Zhuxin. However, no one dared to provoke him for the servants of the royal family, and no one dared to get close to him, for fear of being hated by other young princes. However, even the depressed, as the follower of the prince's prince, even those young princes with noble identities would not dare to go too far. At most, they would be some small troubles, and they were not very aggrieved.
At noon, the gate of the royal mansion was open, and a group of servants stood by the door, standing very neatly on both sides. The butler was waiting outside the door. When he saw a luxurious carriage slowly coming from a distance under the escort of two teams of soldiers, the butler opened his voice and shouted loudly: "The prince is back home."
The Princess Chu was wearing formal clothes and led eight equally beautiful concubines out of the inner courtyard, waiting at the door.
In addition, the nine little princes of the royal palace also stood at the door to greet each prince, and behind each prince was his own follower or book boy. Fang Zhuxin naturally stood behind Chu Tianci, watching the convoy slowly approaching.
Finally, the luxurious carriage stopped at the door of the princess. A group of people, except for the princess, all knelt down, shouted in unison: "Welcome the prince back to the house!"
The coachman opened the curtain of the carriage, and a majestic middle-aged man with a strong figure and extremely pressure came out of the carriage, jumped out of the carriage, and said lightly without losing his majesty: "Get up and go into the mansion."
Everyone stood up and the butler shouted loudly: "The prince has entered the mansion."
The King of Chu took the princess' hand and then smiled a little on his face and said, "It's really hard for the beloved concubine to do housework at home in the past few years."
"I'm not working hard, but the prince has been working hard in Xuanjing in the past few years." The Princess Chu replied with a smile.
"I don't have to work hard anymore. The king has grown up and I am really idle, hahaha..." The King of Chu was obviously very happy and stepped into the palace. There were several boxes behind the carriage. The second butler and the third butler called the guards of the palace to carry the boxes into the palace.
Although Fang Zhuxin was not eye-catching in the crowd, he could still feel a faint pressure from the soldiers guarding the carriage, especially the prince's pressure was the most intense!
Fang Zhuxin, who is small and thin, is extremely sensitive in spiritual sense.
When the prince returned to his house, it was naturally lively. The entire palace was very happy that day, and the examples of each servant were doubled.
After a day of lively, the palace returned to peace.
After returning to the mansion, the King of Chu recruited nine sons and six daughters the next day to compare their various homework in recent years. Chu Tianci passed the test without any danger with the two days of assault.
The literary exam is nothing, but the martial exam opened Fang Zhuxin's eyes. A tree the size of a bowl was broken by several brothers, which made Fang Zhuxin unbelievable.
"Well, very good, very good, I am very happy. You are really not lazy." The King of Chu said happily, and instead said to Chu Tianci: "Tianci, are you very surprised? You are eleven years old, and you can also enter the Martial Arts Academy to practice martial arts starting tomorrow."
Chu Tianci is much more knowledgeable than Fang Zhuxin. In the past two years, he has often quietly gone to the Martial Arts Academy to peek at, so he naturally understands many things. After hearing the words of the King of Chu, he jumped up happily. Chu Tianci, who was happy by nature, had long wanted to learn martial arts. However, the rules of the royal palace were not allowed to sneak into the Martial Arts Academy to learn secretly without the permission of the King of Chu.
Although the Martial Arts Academy is located within the outer courtyard of the royal palace, it is a very special courtyard with strict guardings.
"Where is the bamboo heart?" Chu Tianci asked again.
The King of Chu glanced at Fang Zhuxin, nodded and said, "I allow him to practice martial arts with you." But he sighed in his heart. Even if he allowed, Fang Zhuxin's physique might have a dim future.
"Thank you, Prince." Fang Zhuxin knelt down very smartly and thanked her.
The next day, Chu Tianci and Fang Zhuxin got up early one morning, and under the leadership of the butler, they came to the Martial Arts Academy excitedly.
There are various weapons placed around the wide yard, shining with cold light, and it looks like these weapons are carefully selected and top-quality products.
The one who taught all the little princes to practice martial arts was a strong middle-aged man, the leader of the royal palace guard.
"The prince, this is Uncle Xiang, and he will teach the prince to practice martial arts in the future. General Xiang was an invincible general who followed the prince on the battlefield and was invincible. He was a rare martial arts in the state of Chu. The prince must learn it seriously." The butler introduced respectfully, and after explaining some things, he retreated. Although he was the butler, he could not stay here for a long time.
"See Your Highness the Crown Prince." Uncle Xiang bowed to Chu Tian.
"Uncle Xiang quickly invite you. You are the old subordinate of your father and I am also my elder. I will ask Uncle Xiang for more guidance in the future." Chu Tianci replied sensiblely.
"As long as the prince wants to learn, his subordinates will naturally teach them all." Uncle Xiang said calmly.
"Then let's start." Chu Tianci couldn't wait to speak.
"The practice of martial arts begins with foundation building. The foundation building realm is divided into ten levels: one level of skin training, two level of flesh training, three level of bone training, four level of internal strength, five level of breath, six level of fixed meridians, seven level of meridians, eight level of true qi, nine level of divine power, ten level of mystery. A person has reached the tenth level of cultivation, possesses twelve harbors, and can get a glimpse of the secret realm of Tongxuan. If he has hope to take another step, he will return to the innate realm of acquired nature and enter the secret realm of Tongxuan. The prince is the first level of Tongxuan secret realm. The master of the innate realm is already the strongest person in the Chu Kingdom. If he enters the innate realm, he can prolong his life for a hundred years. That is the legendary realm. Only his subordinates have cultivated to the ninth level of divine power and have ten levels of strength." Uncle Xiang said enviously.
"The Foundation Building Realm? The Mysterious Realm?" Fang Zhuxin felt a sense of fascination when he heard these words. He never thought that there was such a magical thing in this world. Ordinary people can achieve twelve thrones of power through cultivation, and twelve thrones are 1,200 pounds. What is this? One punch can easily kill a cow, let alone a human being. Strong, too strong! And entering the innate realm can actually prolong life for a hundred years! Live a hundred years longer. Even a calm person like Fang Zhuxin can't help but be moved.
"What is the Tongxuan Secret Realm?" Chu Tianci asked.
"The so-called Tongxuan means to understand the world, to be mysterious and self-satisfied, to get rid of the mortal fetus, and to practice magic power. Legend has it that when you reach the third level of Tongxuan's secret realm, you can practice magical powers, spit out water and fire, fly to the sky and hide in the earth, and do everything." Uncle Xiang said softly, and his tone was also extremely longing for.
The two teenagers were stunned when they heard this, spitting out water and fire, flying in the sky and hiding in the earth, and doing everything. What is this? At this moment, the two teenagers, who were only eleven or two, had the idea of cultivation in their minds, and this idea was extremely strong.
"What are magical powers?" Chu Tianci asked again.
"The so-called magical powers are actually two concepts. Magic refers to the use of various magical spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the powerful power formed can be used for attack and defense, and can also be used to treat injuries, etc. In our Yanxiu Continent, the fire spirit is extremely abundant, and most of the magical magic is the best attack magic with fire attributes. And magical powers are the great powers between heaven and earth, which cannot be described in words. It is an incredible existence and is extremely difficult to practice. The difference between magical powers and magical methods is a bit like the difference between tree roots and leaves.
