The sun sets in the west and the lanterns come on.

Chu Zhiyuan wore a crimson official robe and walked slowly on the bustling street.

Pedestrians around were like flowing water, and a few guards separated the flow of people like rocks, forming an area for Chu Zhiyuan to stroll leisurely.

While he was observing his surroundings with his super-sense, he was thinking in his mind.

Should we go back to the new residence next to Houtu Hall to practice martial arts first, and condense the nine dragon-binding ropes to break through the seventh jade tower in one fell swoop, or should we go back to the palace to take a look first?

Finally decided to go back to the palace first.

The lanterns on both sides of Qingwang Street were lit, completely driving away the twilight, and the entire street was as bright as day.

Two teams of royal guards are patrolling each other.

When they saw Chu Zhiyuan, they clasped their fists and saluted from a distance.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded and kept walking.

Guo Chi had already informed someone in advance that when he arrived at the gate of the palace, the concierge had already opened the gate to greet him.

He returned to Tingtao Courtyard unimpeded.

The four Mo Yi girls came forward and took off their hats, changed their clothes, took off their boots, and some brought in a basin of water.

Chu Zhiyuan changed out of his clothes, washed himself, and came to the back garden.

As soon as we entered the back garden, we could hear the sound of the piano in the distance.

The long and leisurely sound of the piano floated from the lake, bypassed the lush woods, and floated into his ears. It was high and peaceful, and he felt relaxed and happy when he heard it.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

The mother-in-law's mood is no longer angry, she has become calm and calm, and she has finally regained the graceful Tsinghua demeanor of the princess.

This is the real white Ning cream.

He turned through the dense woods and came to the lake.

A string of carved lanterns have been lit up on the lake, illuminating the five pavilions and five waterside pavilions as brightly as day.

The reflection of the lantern in the water sways gently, like a dream.

He stepped onto the corridor on the lake and came to a waterside pavilion. A beautiful middle-aged woman and a beautiful girl named Yan who were standing in front of the waterside pavilion saluted.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded lightly, lifted the curtain and entered the waterside pavilion.

There are several silver candles in the water pavilion, the light is soft yet bright.

Bai Ningshuang, who was dressed in plain White House attire, was playing the piano with her head lowered, the golden steps on her head swaying slightly, reflecting each other with the faintly flashing gold threads at the corners of her sleeves.

The beautiful girl moved over to embroider the pier.

Chu Zhiyuan sat on the embroidered pier and looked at Bai Ningshuang opposite.

The sound of the piano suddenly stopped, Bai Ningshuang raised her head and waved.

The middle-aged maid presented a small cold jade box, which was green and moist.

"Yuan'er, the dragon ball you want." Bai Ningshuang said, "Flying Dragon Ball."

Chu Zhiyuan took the cold jade box with a smile and slowly opened it.

On the gold satin in the center of the jade box, a purple gold bead the size of a baby's fist exudes a deep luster, giving people an unusually heavy feeling.

The Dragon Transformation Technique was running wildly in an instant.

Chu Zhiyuan closed the cold jade box, and the Dragon Transformation Technique came to an abrupt end.

really!

He smiled.

Bai Ningshuang said: "The empress said that the dragon beads are not a good thing, which is unlucky."

Chu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows.

Bai Ningshuang said: "In short, the empress will never harm you."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

I asked for my dragon ball from the emperor.

I have never heard of the saying that the Dragon Ball is unlucky, but whether it is said by the Emperor or Concubine Rou, it cannot be regarded as perfunctory remarks.

Concubine Rou is not a mediocre woman. If she is a favored imperial concubine, that would be fine. However, she can still stay peacefully in the palace even though she is not favored. This shows that Concubine Rou has great intelligence and skill.

The Dragon Ball is unlucky, there are secrets in it that I don't understand.

"Yuan'er, tomorrow is King Xuan's birthday. I have prepared the clothes. I will ask Mo Yi and the others to try them on for you later and choose a good one."

"Well, Mom, let me go to see my little sister. Did she practice in the afternoon?"

"I have been practicing." Bai Ningshuang said dissatisfied: "Yi'er has never liked practicing Kung Fu since she was a child, why bother forcing her!"

Prince Qing's Mansion is not that obsessed with practicing Kung Fu. After all, Prince Qing doesn't practice Kung Fu.

Prince Qing and his wife do not force their children to practice Kung Fu.

Chu Zhiyuan has shown amazing martial arts aptitude since he was a child, and he also likes to practice martial arts, while Chu Yi has no talent at all, does not like to practice martial arts, and only likes to grow flowers and grass.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "There is no harm in practicing."

"I don't see any benefit, it will hurt your body and bones." Bai Ningshuang snorted.

Unless you can practice to the innate state, you can avoid harming the body. Before, the innate state has been hurting the body.

Chu Yi's qualifications are average. It's not that his physical endowment is bad. On the contrary, his physical endowment is good, but his martial arts understanding is not good. He doesn't like to practice martial arts. Practicing martial arts may not lead to an innate state. There is no need to practice martial arts.

"Mom, I won't harm my little sister." Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile.

"You..." Bai Ningshuang said helplessly: "She really doesn't want to practice, don't force her too much."

"Okay." Chu Zhiyuan agreed, clasped his fists and stood up to leave.

——

The Wanqingyuan where Chu Yi is located is brightly lit.

Four beautiful maids were standing by the flower garden in surprise, their bright eyes wide open.

In the center of the six flowerbeds of Wanqingyuan, on the flat blue bricks, sixteen footprints are like imprints on the green bricks.

Each footprint is in a different direction, with the toes pointing in different directions, ultimately forming a closed circle.

After walking sixteen steps, he turned around and returned to his original position.

Under the bright light, Chu Yi's white clothes were fluttering, and she was skillfully stepping on the sixteen footprints. She was light and elegant, as graceful as a fairy, and her beautiful face was full of smiles under the light.

The pace she walked was very strange.

Every time you take a step, a gurgling warm breath enters your body from the soles of your feet and pulses through your body. Your whole body feels as warm as if you were soaking in a hot spring.

Not only did she not feel tired after walking all afternoon, but she became more energetic and relaxed as she walked, as if she was about to float.

Floating like the wind, and like the gentle steps on the waves.

When Chu Zhiyuan appeared, four maids noticed him and hurriedly saluted him.

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hands and stood aside.

Chu Yi quickly slid up to him, stretched out her little hand and patted his chest: "Brother, look at your palm!"

Chu Zhiyuan's foot slipped and he could barely avoid it.

"Look at the palm again!" Chu Yi pursued and slapped him again.

Chu Zhiyuan's footsteps continued to slide and he continued to dodge.

Both of them performed this set of Xiao Gui Yuan Step.

After more than ten palms, Chu Yi's steps were confused, and she stumbled forward, but her feet moved back, and her body suddenly froze.

Chu Zhiyuan flicked his sleeves.

She stood upright and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother!" Her rosy little face was full of excitement: "If this is what I practiced back then, I would have become a martial arts master long ago!"

Chu Zhiyuan laughed: "Don't put gold on your face."

Now I practice for the sake of novelty and find it interesting, but no matter how interesting things are, if you do them every day, you won’t find them interesting anymore.

Based on his understanding of Chu Yi, this novelty will not last for five days, and he will start to be lazy and do not want to practice anymore.

Chu Yi said: "Brother, I can practice this."

"Okay, let's practice first." Chu Zhiyuan put his hand on her wrist, feeling the inner energy still surging in her meridians, and nodded with satisfaction.

This Xiao Guiyuan Step is the martial arts in Mingwu Hall, it is only the third level.

But for Chu Yi, it is the best way to get started.

It is most suitable for someone like her who has poor martial arts understanding but good physical endowment.

If you like to practice, if you practice for a year and a half, you can reach about the fourth level of the acquired day, and then change it to the more complicated Great Return Step.

By relying on the Great Guiyuan Step, you can almost reach the perfection of the day after tomorrow, and then find a way to break through the three levels and step into the innate world.

When he reaches the innate realm, he can live to be one hundred and twenty years old, which means he has the ability to protect himself. If he can hide in critical moments, he can feel more at ease.

"By the way, I have found a mental method that has the effect of keeping your appearance." Chu Zhiyuan said: "If you practice it, you will stay young and youthful."

Chu Yi hurriedly asked: "What's your mind?"

"The Qiongyu Changchun Technique is a secret mental technique that was seen in Mingwu Hall, but it requires an innate state to practice it."

"Qiongyu Changchun Jue..." Chu Yi chewed on these five words and stared at him with bright eyes: "Brother, is this mental technique really able to preserve your appearance?"

"It was originally a secret of the Qiongyu Sect, but later the Qiongyu Sect was destroyed overnight, and the world thought it was extinct. Little did they know that there were still Qiongyu Sect disciples in the palace who left the Qiongyu Eternal Spring Secret before their death."

"I must practice to the innate state!" Chu Yi's bright eyes sparkled, giving birth to endless motivation.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded with satisfaction: "The sooner, the better. The Qiongyu Changchun Technique can only make your appearance last forever at the moment you practice it. Don't practice it until you are fifty or sixty years old."

"Okay!" Chu Yi nodded vigorously.
Chapter completed!
