Chapter 50: Settling down in Kyoto (please read it!)
Half a month later.
Kyoto West Street, close to the Imperial Palace, you can see the majestic outer palace walls almost as soon as you look up.
The people coming and going on this street are all royal relatives, high-ranking officials and nobles. If a brick is thrown into the crowd, it will be a third- or fourth-grade official.
Prince Fu's Mansion is located here.
This is the house that was given to King Fu by the late Emperor when he first came out of the palace. It has been vacant since King Fu was granted the title of Changning County, and only a few old servants were arranged to manage and clean it.
Occasionally, when King Fu came to Beijing on imperial edict, he would stay here.
This time the people from the palace went north to Kyoto, and this became their stop.
Yu Xian walked to the middle of the yard, breathed into the air, and saw a light white air coming out.
"The weather is starting to get cooler again."
Autumn is already halfway through.
I wonder if the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the palace is still open.
It has been half a month since their group arrived in Kyoto.
Half a month ago, the ship arrived at Jinmen Port, and there were not many passengers left on the ship except people from the palace. Most of them went to visit relatives along the way, or found a place to stay in a prosperous city, including the girl's family that Yu Xian rescued.
Only Wangfu goes all the way north.
Then Dongchang Fanzi, who was sent by the imperial court at Jinmen Wharf, was taken to Prince Fu's Mansion and was named protection and regarded as supervision.
Yu Xian looked up and saw the city wall that was more than ten feet high. Even though it was more than ten miles away, he could still feel a vague sense of crisis.
Obviously the palace didn't know what kind of old monster was hiding.
This is the aura that the old monster deliberately exudes, just like the beasts occupying the territory in a circle, and will swear oaths and warnings in various ways.
"With such a figure in the royal family, why would they allow the rebels to wreak havoc and send them out to carry out casual beheading tactics? How can the rebels resist?"
This is the power of immortal cultivators over ordinary people.
No matter what your advisers or generals are, the people's hearts are like water. I will break them all by myself. It's simple and crude, but very effective.
Yu Xian didn't understand the thoughts of the Yue royal family, but he would not delve into it. Instead, he honestly hid himself and acted as the princess's sweetheart.
Because an old birthday boy once told him a simple philosophy of life: if you want to live a long life, don't meddle in others' affairs.
It is said that he has been studying and practicing diligently recently, and he is getting started with Qi Condensation Technique, and he can already hide his own Qi fluctuations in the crowd.
His talent in this area is surprisingly good.
It's a pity that Yulan's practice is as bad as ever. Of the thirteen spiritual stones in his hand, only seven are left.
Yulan, who had used six spiritual stones, was still at the first level of Qi training.
The good news is that it is very stable, and the bad news is that it is also very stable.
With his unlimited supply of spiritual stones, Yulan could use up all the remaining seven spiritual stones in one year at most.
If you want to continue practicing, you will have to use spiritual sand that is less effective.
But even if the Huaguang Lingshi can break through the second level of Qi training, it is still unknown.
Yu Xian planned to observe for another half a year. If Yulan still made no progress, she would suspend her supply of spiritual stones.
Because if she just ensures that her cultivation level does not deteriorate, with her cultivation level, one pill a year is more than enough.
Since he had no plans to mess around in the world of immortality for the time being, he planned to let Yulan change to martial arts.
Anyway, he picked up a lot of precious medicine in King Fu's secret room. Even if it is just a pile, it can give Yu Lan a peak of acquired abilities.
Moreover, Yu Lan has already broken through Qi training, and the biggest hurdle to break through the innate level is almost impossible for her.
If Magnolia successfully breaks through the innate realm, it will at least delay the decline of her own energy and blood for a few years.
After all, cultivating immortality in the mortal world is still unrealistic.
He had taken it for granted before, thinking that with his help and gathering enough resources, Yulan could continue to practice naturally.
But if it were so easy to practice in the secular world, King Fu, who had a ready-made inheritance in the secret room, would not have been almost beaten to death by Chen Xiao.
Doesn’t King Fu not want to practice?
It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I can’t.
Ignoring this matter, Yu Xian looked at the panel in front of his field of vision.
[Name: Yu Xian]
[Cultivation: Nine levels of Qi training (344/550)]
[Taoist Companion: Magnolia (1/1)]
"Although the Fangzhongshu technique left by King Fu is just a mundane and magical technique, my own realm is not that advanced, but it works surprisingly well.
Even if she falls in love with the princess in the middle of the journey, it’s surprising that she can still make progress. "
"The only worry is that the foundation is about to be built."
"I don't have a foundation-building pill, nor do I have any inheritance or experience in foundation-building. I don't know how this panel will allow me to build a foundation, or whether it will just get stuck."
"If I didn't have such concerns, why would I send Chen Yi away."
"But it's okay to leave."
"With her intelligence, if I personally bring her to the world of immortality, after she is exposed to enough information about immortality, she will definitely notice my abnormal speed of cultivation.
The panel is my most important secret and must never be exposed.
On the contrary, I am now mysterious and powerful enough in her heart, and I have never exposed my cultivation in front of her.
If there is a chance to meet in the future, she will figure out if there is anything wrong with her cultivation.
If I have the opportunity to have a second Taoist companion in the future, she will be my first choice. "
"But you don't know if the panel is monogamous or not. Magnolia is the most important thing now. Whether Chen Yi can successfully survive in the world of immortality is still unknown. The most important thing in the world of immortality is genius."
Yu Xian's thoughts are flying all the way.
Until a young woman with a slightly haggard expression walked in holding a chubby little boy, followed behind them was an old eunuch with a white face and no beard.
"Princess, Your Majesty already knows that the fall of Changning City was not the fault of King Fu. The young prince is too young to shoulder the responsibility of defending the land. He is indeed innocent.
But the law cannot be abolished. Now that Changning County has become the territory of the rebels, Prince Fu’s Mansion, as the crown prince of Changning County, has unshirkable responsibilities. Therefore, from today on, Prince Fu’s position has been reduced from prince to county king.
The young prince can also grow up in Kyoto with peace of mind in the future. "
The old eunuch comforted the princess.
Only the young prince was ignorant and did not know that the great power that originally belonged to him as a prince had disappeared, and he had become a little piggy raised by the court.
From now on, even if Changning County is recovered, it will no longer belong to King Fu.
The princess had already been mentally prepared for this, so she could still show a forced smile at this time.
"Eunuch Cao, please send us back. This is a little thought from me. Please don't dislike it."
The princess took out a silver note from her sleeve and stuffed it into the old eunuch's hand.
This old eunuch was not an ordinary person, he was actually the director of the Dongchang Factory. With the sword in the emperor's hand, it was not an exaggeration to say that he had power over both the government and the public.
Fanzi, who is now guarding outside the palace, is at his disposal.
The princess's silver note of only one thousand taels was considered shabby for such a person.
But the old eunuch didn't mind at all. Instead, he accepted the bank note with a smile and said thank you to the empress for the reward.
He had no conflict of interest with Prince Fu's Mansion, so he was not in trouble. If he didn't accept the money, the princess would feel uneasy.
"If your Majesty doesn't send it off, I will leave first."
Eunuch Cao was very polite, but before he left, he unconsciously glanced at Yu Xian who was waiting in the courtyard. Although this man did not show any breath, he was by no means weak. He actually felt a bit like facing the ancestors in the palace.
But then he thought about it, a skinny camel was bigger than a horse. Prince Fu's Mansion once controlled an entire county, so it was normal that there were still a few masters left.
He was not troublesome.
"What a keen sense."
Yu Xian seemed to feel something and nodded towards Eunuch Cao.
Eunuch Cao smiled back, turned around and walked out of the house, saying nothing.
"how?"
Yu Xian took a step forward and took the young prince from the hands of the princess. He saw that his eyes were as red and swollen as peach, and he had obviously cried hard before.
"Have Heng'er listened to your mother-in-law?"
"Master." The young prince raised his head proudly and said, "Mother asked me to cry, and I kept crying. The Queen and the Queen were coaxing me."
The princess also smiled and touched her son's head. Although her expression was a little tired, her eyes relaxed.
"Thanks to Heng'er today, the Queen took pity on our orphans and widows. From now on, we can live in Kyoto with peace of mind. Everything in Changning City has nothing to do with us."
"Okay." Yu Xian smiled meaningfully at the princess: "From now on, we will live a good life behind closed doors. The wind and rain outside will no longer matter."
Kyoto is prosperous and full of entertainment, which is exactly what he wants.
He wants to practice truthfully, but enjoyment is also essential. The ascetic style is not suitable for him.
Not to mention that there is a princess who is being bullied by him. She is happy here and does not miss Shu.
The princess seemed to have noticed Yu Xian's evil intentions, her face turned red and she said angrily:
"Who wants to live a good life with you?"
Yu Xian couldn't help but move his index finger and patted the young prince on the head.
"Heng'er, it's time to finish today's homework. If you do it quickly, the teacher will grant you a half-day holiday."
How did the young prince know that his mother was going to be taught by his master on his own? Seeing that his master was so gentle, he was willing to give him a day off.
He was so energetic that he ran to the backyard without even caring about his mother.
"Master, don't go back on your word!"
Seeing the young prince running away, Yu Xian smiled and invited:
"Yesterday, I hand-copied a Shurangama Sutra for my mother-in-law. Would you like to go to the room with me and have a look?"
"The person in charge has your heart, but I dare not disobey."
The princess rolled her eyes at Yu Xian, moved her steps lightly, and followed him to the side room obediently.
