Heaven rewards those who work hard: There is no bottleneck in my martial arts

Ningshou Palace.

Sunlight shines through the gaps in the glazed tiles and onto the bluestone slabs, creating mottled light and shadow.

The abdicated Emperor Jian'an, walking slowly but still showing dignity, strolled in the imperial garden with his concubine beside him.

The flowers are blooming, the fragrance is astonishing, and occasionally butterflies are dancing, full of vitality.

"Ugh……"

Suddenly, Emperor Jian'an looked up to the sky and let out a deep sigh, breaking the tranquility.

Concubine De looked sideways and asked with concern: "Why did the Emperor sigh? But what is there to worry about?"

Emperor Jian'an stopped and looked into the distance, as if recalling the past: "Concubine De, do you know why I abdicated the throne?"

Concubine De nodded and said: "The Supreme Emperor is doing this for the country and the country of Wei and for the well-being of the people."

"That's right." The emperor sighed softly: "But after abdicating the throne, I always feel a little uneasy. You see, His Majesty is so wise and powerful, but he has never been married and has no children. I still can't let go."

After hearing this, Concubine De said: "What the Emperor said is absolutely true. The continuation of the royal bloodline is the foundation of the country. Now that the power of the Wei Dynasty is booming, it is time for your Majesty to look for some women with good moral character and outstanding appearance."

The emperor looked at Concubine De, shook his head and said, "I never thought about it. The main reason is that my son is a bit special. Most people may look down on him, and there has never been a suitable candidate."

Concubine De was thoughtful.

She has been by Zhao Meixu's side, knowing that the Supreme Emperor never likes to make unintended consequences.

The sudden mention of His Majesty's marriage at this time must have a deeper meaning.

Concubine De's mind suddenly changed.

Suddenly his eyes lit up and he thought of someone.

The eldest daughter of the Chen family is now the daughter of the Minister of Industry in the imperial court.

She was born into a famous family. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also knowledgeable and sensible. She was also a famous talented woman in Daliang City.

His martial arts skills are also not low.

I heard that he is already a third-level innate warrior, and he might be able to reach the martial arts realm in his thirties or forties.

He is very talented, and the bloodline he gave birth to is bound to be good.

More importantly, this woman taught His Majesty martial arts in the early years when His Majesty had not yet gained power.

The two came into contact.

It is the best choice for concubines.

Now the Queen Mother is almost ignored and only manages the basic affairs of the harem.

In the court, His Majesty was majestic and solemn, and no official dared to interfere in his private affairs.

In addition, His Majesty currently has no biological mother.

No one really mentions the important matter of his marriage.

Now he doesn't have a prince, his family's power is very weak, and he doesn't have the power of his relatives.

Emperor Jian'an Zhao Hongming brought this matter up at this time, probably because he wanted her to take the lead in taking charge of it.

After some back and forth and careful calculation, Concubine De finally figured out Emperor Jian'an's thoughts.

After pondering for a moment, Concubine De thought up her words and said: "Your Majesty, I remember that the young lady from Chen Shangshu's family has reached the age of marriage. She is now in the boudoir. She is quite famous and has some friendship with His Majesty. Why not call her into the palace? , let His Majesty accept her as your concubine?"

"Oh? My beloved, do you think the Chen family will agree?" Emperor Jian'an Zhao Meixu asked.

Concubine De covered her mouth and smiled and said: "If it were an ordinary prince, Chen Shangshu might be a little reluctant. But now His Majesty is a dragon among people, majestic and profound. Compared with such a great man, Chen Shangshu will definitely consider it carefully. Yes. I think I should be 60 to 70 percent sure."

Emperor Jian'an Zhao Mixu saw that Concubine De had roughly guessed his intention, so he stopped making insinuations and said, "In that case, I will leave this matter to you, Concubine."

"I will do my best to marry His Majesty." Concubine De bowed her head and nodded in agreement.

Time flies like water, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Unknowingly, Zhao Hongming has reached the age of twenty-one.

At this age, in the previous life, he would have just graduated from college.

But in today's world, twenty-one is considered older.

According to the regulations of the Wei royal family, people usually get married around the age of eighteen. Now he has reached the age of marriage early.

However, because he has always been obsessed with cultivation and government affairs, and has been fighting all year round, this matter has been left hanging and has not been implemented.

Now that he has attacked South Korea, there has been no fighting in the recent period and he is currently in Daliang City.

He vaguely felt that the courtiers around him began to care about his life events in private.

After all, this concerns the royal heirs.

Zhao Hongming had no objection to this matter.

However, he has already broken through to the Wudan realm, and will even break through to the Creation realm in the near future, with a lifespan of up to two hundred years.

Such a long lifespan makes him a little worried. If the child is an ordinary person, it will inevitably end up with a white-haired person giving a black-haired person.

However, as the helmsman of an empire, he cannot really cut off his descendants.

Zhao Hongming began to consider this matter carefully.

His eyes moved slightly, and his eyes couldn't help but pass by the martial arts panel of [Tiandao Rewards Qin], and he pondered for a long time.

Maybe having a wife and children isn't such a bad thing.

When the heirs grow up in the future, they can learn from Emperor Jian'an's abdication early and leave mundane state affairs to them.

I am concentrating on martial arts and pursuing the path to immortality. It is not a bad thing to live forever behind the scenes.

After thinking about it, Zhao Hongming felt no burden in his mind.

He called Gao Yanshi and asked, "Have you heard any news about my concubine in the harem recently?"

Gao Yanshi controls the Imperial City Department, and all kinds of news in the Imperial City cannot escape his grasp.

He lowered his head, bowed his body and said respectfully: "Reporting to Your Majesty, there are some rumors about this kind of thing."

"Oh? What are they all about?"

"It's not a rumor, it's just that Concubine De seems to be looking for some women with good moral character and outstanding appearance during this period. There seems to be something to do with the Emperor."

Zhao Mixu?

Zhao Hongming couldn't help but laugh.

No wonder there were rumors in the court about his taking a concubine and getting married. It turned out that this cheap man of his own was behind it.

Zhao Hongming asked curiously: "Is there any direction?"

"Concubine De seems to prefer Chen Shangshu's daughter, the eldest lady of the Chen family."

"Chen Xuerong."

"Exactly."

Involuntarily, the woman with broad breasts appeared in Zhao Hongming's mind.

After all, I haven't seen her for a long time.

Zhao Hongming sighed in his heart: "Come with me to Qingfeng Pavilion."

"Yes."

In the back garden of Chen Mansion.

Chen Xuerong stood in the open space in the courtyard, wearing a plain white gown, her clothes fluttering gently in the morning breeze, like a fairy in the mountains.

She held a silver sword in her hand. The sword was light and agile, and it seemed to be alive in her hands.

The sword light flashed coldly under the sunlight, as if it could cut through the void.

As time passed, Chen Xuerong's figure became faster and faster, and the sword light became more and more dazzling.

Her figure flickered in and out of the morning light, like a streak of white lightning that kept popping up.

Every time the sword was swung, it was accompanied by a crisp sword cry.

Her speed became faster and faster, and in the end she could no longer be seen, only the flowing Qi continued to fill the backyard.

Suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps came, and Chen Xuerong hurriedly stopped what he was doing to calm down the surging Qi in his body.

"Sister, sister, sister... stop practicing, someone is coming from the palace."

Chen Chengan, who had grown into a strong man, ran in quickly and said breathlessly.

"In the palace?" A trace of doubt flashed in Chen Xuerong's eyes: "Who summoned me to the palace?"

Chen Chengan gasped and was about to open his mouth.

Chen Mou, who followed closely behind, had already hurried in: "Xue Rong, hurry up and get ready, His Majesty is going to summon you to the palace!"

Chen Xuerong was stunned for a moment, and the emotions in his heart came like a tide. It's him? !

She had thought about when and where she would meet Zhao Hongming again, but she didn't expect it would be so sudden.

Thinking of the time the two had spent together, she felt a surge of complicated emotions.

A few years ago, when she saw Zhao Hongming displaying his cultivation, she knew that Zhao Hongming was a strange man and fell in love with him.

He even thought that he could keep up with the opponent through hard training.

However, she still underestimated Zhao Hongming's ability.

In a short period of time, she has reached a level that is beyond her reach.

Later, due to the distance, this feeling faded away over the years.

But faced with the call of the Emperor of Wei, she had no possibility of refusing.

What's more, she was born into a family of officials.

Chen Xuerong took a deep breath and said, "Wait for me for a while."

She stood up slowly, entered the boudoir, changed her clothes, tidied up her appearance, and then walked towards the palace surrounded by everyone.

Along the way, she felt mixed feelings in her heart.

There is both anxiety and uneasiness about what will happen next, as well as expectations for reunion.

I don’t know what the scene will be like when the two meet again.

After walking for almost half an hour, Chen Xuerong arrived at the gate of the palace.

Looking at the majestic and spectacular building, she was in a trance for a moment.

The last time I entered the palace seemed to have been a long time ago.

Chen Xuerong took a deep breath and stepped into the gate of the palace.

As soon as he entered the palace, Gao Yanshi was already waiting for him.

"Miss Chen, please come with me."

"Thank you, father-in-law." Chen Xuerong recognized Gao Yanshi as Zhao Hongming's personal eunuch and did not dare to neglect him.

Following Gao Yanshi, Chen Xuerong felt that this road was extremely familiar.

This is heading to Dongwusuo.

Chen Xuerong's heart moved slightly, and waves of emotions kept coming up.

"Miss Chen, we are here." Gao Yanshi stood at the door of Qingfeng Pavilion, stopped and said.

Chen Xuerong looked up and saw the familiar plaque on it, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

It is indeed here.

"please!"

Gao Yanshi opened the door for her.

Chen Xuerong stepped forward, crossed the threshold and walked in.

There was a squeak.

Gao Yanshi closed the door silently.

Chen Xuerong looked back and walked quickly into the courtyard without saying anything.

At this time, there was a man's figure standing quietly in the courtyard, extremely tall and majestic.

Chen Xuerong's light footsteps broke the silence.

Zhao Hongming, who heard the noise, turned around and saw Chen Xuerong approaching with light steps.

Her face is still beautiful and refined, and her figure is as graceful as before.

More importantly, her characteristics remain the same.

"Half-Master, long time no see." Zhao Hongming moved his lips slightly and said softly.

Chen Xuerong raised his head and met Zhao Hongming's deep eyes.

For a moment, their eyes met in the air.

Chen Xuerong clasped her fists and baggage, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty's cultivation and talent are first-rate in the world. I really dare not be called a 'teacher' to His Majesty."

Her voice was full of alienation and became much colder.

Zhao Hongming smiled and said: "I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still as charming as before. When I see you again, it feels like I first met you. You were also so cold and cold at that time, but I didn't expect that you would be so... candid in expressing your feelings. ...I didn’t expect it either.”

Chen Xuerong's expression was startled.

I couldn't help but remember the embarrassing scene at that time, and my ears gradually turned red.

"That... is just... young and ignorant." Chen Xuerong seemed to be defending himself, and the air was filled with joy.

Zhao Hongming stopped joking and said: "Sit down, we haven't seen each other for a long time, let's chat."

"it is good."

Chen Xuerong took a deep breath and eliminated all those embarrassing scenes from his mind one by one.

The two sat opposite each other.

Zhao Hongming poured the tea himself and said, "How have you been in recent years?"

"It's not as exciting as His Majesty's." Chen Xuerong said.

She knew that the man standing in front of her had fought all the way south and north, killing decisively.

Sitting in this position now, I don’t know how many experiences I have experienced.

"That's it." The two of them seemed to have fallen into a brief silence. Zhao Hongming said calmly: "By the way, I have a martial arts book in my hand that just doesn't have a direction. Why don't you take a look and explain it to me? One solution.”

Zhao Hongming seemed to have thought of something and took out a parchment scroll.

This is the software inheritance he received in South Korea - the art of telepathy.

During this period of time, he also had some insights, but he had no clue, so he could just give it to Chen Xuerong to take a look at.

When it comes to martial arts, Chen Xuerong loses a lot of restraint and the expression on his face becomes serious.

After a while, Chen Xuerong said: "Where did your majesty find it?"

"Found from the royal arsenal of Korea. What happened?"

"It's very mysterious. If I guess correctly, this should be one of the few ancient immortal techniques that can still be practiced today."

"Ancient immortal magic?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, look..."

Zhao Hongming stepped forward and listened carefully to Chen Xuerong's explanation.

Unconsciously, the afterglow of the setting sun filled the entire yard.

The two of them talk to each other.

Unconsciously, the alienation was involuntarily dissolving.

"I see." Zhao Hongming nodded: "No wonder I haven't been able to figure it out. To practice this martial art, you need to condense your spiritual consciousness."

"This martial arts should be partially incomplete, otherwise it should be easy to see."

Zhao Hongming nodded and said temporarily: "You are still more knowledgeable, I am far behind you in this aspect."

"Your Majesty is so complimentary, I..."

Meeting each other on all sides, the two of them couldn't help but smile at each other.

Dude, dunk, dunk.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Gao Yanshi's voice came from it.

"Your Majesty, Concubine De heard that Chen Xuerong had entered the palace, so she specially sent someone to invite her to come and talk."

"Concubine De?"

Zhao Hongming felt strange and didn't know why the concubine De in the harem wanted to see her.

Chen Xuerong didn't think much, stood up and said goodbye: "Your Majesty, it's already late today. Your Majesty should still be involved in a lot of government affairs, so I don't dare to disturb you anymore. If your Majesty needs my help later, you can call me at any time."

Zhao Hongming nodded and said no more.

Looking at Chen Xuerong's trembling mind, he suddenly smiled and said with emotion: "It hasn't changed at all after so many years." (End of Chapter)
