eunuch

Chapter 18
The first year of Shunde, October [-]th.

It is suitable for promotion, crowning, offering sacrifices, and making alliances.
On this day, the eldest son Su Zhe officially became the crown prince of the Qian Kingdom and entered the East Palace in a grand promotion ceremony.

The East Palace is extraordinary.

It covers a large area and is equipped with sound institutions. It can be called a miniature version of the imperial court.

This is what the emperors of all dynasties prepared for the cultivation of princes.

Zhan Shi's Mansion is the core institution of the Eastern Palace. It has been listed, and many officials of the Eastern Palace will work here during the day.

After the prince entered the East Palace, the first East Palace meeting was held here.

Participating were Prince Shaoshi, Zuo Zhan Shi, Yuan Shi, Deputy Zhan Shi, Fu Cheng... and the officials of the left and right halls, etc.

Many officials of the East Palace are concurrently served by honorable ministers.

Ye Cheng was so bored that he stood in the side hall, closed his eyes and meditated.

As one of the guard eunuchs, he basically wants to follow the prince and protect him at all times.

For other guard eunuchs, this is a dream job with a bright future.

But Ye Cheng would rather sit on the bench and find a quiet and unpopular department to practice.

He suddenly regretted why he had to be transferred from the Commanding Division of Taiwu Palace.

Of course, he was just thinking about it.

If you really want to do it again, he will still come.

After more than an hour, the meeting was finally adjourned.

Prince Su Zhe came out accompanied by an old man with white beard and hair, tall crown and belt, who trembled slightly when he walked.

"Your Highness, the old man will come over tomorrow and explain the basic government affairs procedures to you."

said the old man.

"It's Teacher Lao."

Prince Su Zhe said quickly.

Ye Cheng glanced at the old man, and knew that this was Weng Juzheng, the prince's young teacher, who specially taught the prince's philosophy and experience in governing the country.

Don't look at slightly trembling, she is not young.

A pure literati, he is a well-known Confucianist in the Qian Kingdom. He was a veteran of three dynasties and a prime minister of two dynasties. He has a highly respected status among scholars.

This time, he was invited out by Emperor Qian as the young master of the prince.

After Grand Master Weng Juzheng left, Prince Su Zhe breathed a sigh of relief.

When you are the son of the world, you are really free and easy, you can do whatever you want.

Not anymore.

Even leaving the Eastern Palace has various regulations.

Thinking of what governing philosophy he would learn from that stubborn old pedant in the future, he had a headache.

Suddenly, he glanced around and saw Ye Cheng.

"Xiao Chengzi, what is your cultivation level now?"

he asked with a smile.

"His Royal Highness, the minister is now in the Houtian realm."

Ye Cheng didn't expect the prince to pay attention to him, and immediately bowed slightly.

"Oh, the prince remembers that you used to be at the sixth level of inner breath, how did you break through to the acquired state so quickly?"

Prince Su Zhe was very surprised.

"The minister also broke through by chance."

Ye Cheng said respectfully.

"That's not bad, let's go and compete with the prince in boxing and kicking."

Prince Su Zhe said immediately.

Some time ago, he finally broke through the Houtian Realm.

"The courtier dare not."

Ye Cheng was taken aback, and said quickly.

It would be a serious crime if the prince was hurt.

"You little eunuch, you don't think you can beat the prince, do you? If you dare not use all your strength, the prince will punish you for disrespect."

Prince Su Zhe said with a stare.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Ye Cheng was very helpless in his heart. As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Although there is a great opportunity, it also represents a great risk.

If you meet a wayward master, there will be a lot of trouble.

Ye Cheng followed Prince Su Zhe to the martial arts arena.

Prince Su Zhe put on a strong outfit, stretched his muscles and bones, and said to Ye Cheng: "This prince will not show mercy, you have to be careful."

As he spoke, he moved his body, his feet moved quickly, his hands were clenched into claws, and accompanied by a sharp whistling, he came towards Ye Cheng's chest.

What seems to be a simple grasp contains all kinds of changes.

Moreover, the infuriating breath on the claws tore the air.

The day after tomorrow warriors haven't practiced the body-protecting qi yet, once the flesh and blood body is rubbed a little bit, the skin and flesh will definitely be ripped apart, and the muscles and bones will be broken.

Ye Cheng didn't know much about the agility and martial arts practiced by the prince.

However, he possesses the cultivation base of the acquired Dzogchen, so he can naturally see through the prince's strength at a glance.

It's just that there are other guard eunuchs on the field, and the weakest ones are acquired cultivation, and there are several innate warriors.

Therefore, he must be cautious and careful, absolutely not let those innate warriors see through the details of his cultivation, otherwise it will be very troublesome.

Fortunately, he has exercised his meditation state in the past few months, communicated with his subconscious mind, and is much stronger than ordinary innate warriors on the spiritual level, so his manipulation of true energy is also extremely subtle.

Next, Ye Cheng's performance was quite satisfactory, showing a beginner's cultivation base very realistically.

After some fighting, Ye Cheng was punched back more than ten steps, staggering half-kneeling on the ground, the prince Su Zhe finally exhausted his power, and then sat down on the ground.

"It's so cool."

Prince Su Zhe let out a loud cry of joy.

"Xiaochengzi, your actual combat experience is good, but the martial arts you use are a bit weak. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to beat you. Didn't Director Zhao prepare some better martial arts for you?"

Su Zhe asked suddenly.

With his level, he naturally couldn't detect Ye Cheng's painstaking disguise just now.

Even those innate warriors didn't really notice it.

At most, he felt that Ye Cheng had reservations.

However, they will not talk too much.

Isn't it normal to hold hands in front of the prince?
Could it be possible to use all your strength to injure the prince, isn't that courting death?

"Your Highness, the godfather gave the ministers two martial arts, but they are too advanced, and they haven't comprehended them for the time being, and they can't exert their power, so they dare not use them."

Ye Cheng said hastily.

At this time, a court lady came over with a jade plate.

On it was a jade vase inlaid with gold.

Prince Su Zhe poured out two elixirs from the jade bottle, the medicinal fragrance was extremely strong.

Then he casually threw a grain to Ye Cheng.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward."

Ye Cheng took the elixir and found that it was Jinghong elixir. Judging from the fragrance and color of the medicine, it was a top-grade elixir.

This pill is specially used for the cultivation of acquired warriors.

However, the quality used by ordinary Houtian warriors is far from being so good.

And this kind of top-grade Jinghong pill, not to mention better efficacy, less impurities, and the resistance to the warriors will be greatly reduced.

Only the very top alchemists can refine it.

When Su Zhe swallowed the elixir and closed his eyes to refine it, Ye Cheng sat down cross-legged and used this Jinghong elixir.

In fact, he is not necessary.

The fight just now didn't consume much true energy at all.

In the next period of time, Prince Su Zhe would fight Ye Cheng almost every day.

Ye Cheng always manages to narrowly lose a move every time.

In this way, more than half a year has passed.

Ye Cheng still didn't get the innate skills.

On this day, Prince Su Zhe suddenly called Ye Cheng into the house.

nobody else.

"Xiao Chengzi, the crown prince wants to entrust you with an important task."

Prince Su Zhe said very seriously.

"Your Highness, please tell me that the ministers should do their best."

Ye Cheng said hastily.

He really hated this Su Zhe, pulling himself to compete every day, which affected his free time too much.

Of course, he also envied and hated the other guards, eunuchs and maids around the prince.

Everyone can see that the crown prince attaches great importance to Ye Cheng.

The proper celebrity around the prince.
