With magical powers, I can quietly meditate on sutras for hundreds of years and become an immortal.

Chapter 17 Congratulations from all over the world
  The changes that occurred in the Huainan Palace did not cause much turmoil in the capital.

Except that the assassin was too stupid to cause any harm.

In addition, King Huainan deliberately blocked the news.

Also because the queen's birthday is gradually approaching.

Many people's minds are focused on this and have no time to think about anything else.

It has been twenty-three years since I ascended the throne.

He doesn't like beauty or luxury, he only cares about power.

There are only a few concubines in the harem, except for the queen who has been with him since the end of time.

Moreover, the three princes who are now most likely to inherit the throne are all descendants of this queen.

Everyone in the Zhou Dynasty knew that their emperor only doted on the queen.

Now that her sixtieth birthday is approaching, officials of all sizes in the court are preparing to celebrate her.

Where is the time to care about other things?

This is true outside the palace, and it is also true inside the palace.

Even Li Zhen, who had been living in a remote corner of the library for a long time.

You can feel the tense atmosphere of this upcoming event from the busy figures around you.

But these still have nothing to do with him, an "idler".

He doesn't need to be busy with the Queen's birthday party.

There is no need to be the king of Huainan's tool to prepare birthday gifts for his mother.

Eating and chanting sutras all day long makes me feel like an immortal.

Read, practice, observe immortality every day, and enjoy it.

In his spare time, Li Zhen has been thinking about a question.

Except for that woman.

Is there anyone in the palace who regards him as "one of our own"?

She could tell that she had practiced "Tiangang Big Toad Qi", it must be because she accompanied Zhao Qing to the library from time to time.

When she was practicing Tai Chi, she accidentally leaked Qi and was discovered by her.

However, others should not have this opportunity.

If so, this woman must have told her.

Just like her, she is the kind of person who works hard at Hezhuang Village.

However, from the time this woman took the risk to come to the library.

It can be roughly inferred that she has no accomplices.

Of course, unexpected situations are not ruled out.

So Li Zhen has been waiting recently.

Wait for some stranger to appear near the library and ask around.

Then there is a high probability that this person has a problem.

It's just that almost a month has passed, and still no such person has appeared.

He gradually felt relieved.

It seems that this matter will eventually become an unsolved case.

Even now the people in the village have discovered the news of the woman's death.

They would only place the blame on Huainan Prince's Mansion, and they could not find Li.

Li Zhen, who had finally solved this trouble from heaven, finally got his life back on track.

Study the collection of books all day long to enrich yourself.

Practice restrainedly and efficiently, climbing towards the peak of martial arts step by step.

The increasingly strong Da Toad Qi penetrates the meridians, and the Little Zhoutian is about to be completed.

The second rate in the world is just around the corner.

The third day of June.

Spring is just beginning to fade away, and summer is coming.

June 21 is approaching, and the Queen's birthday is getting closer.

The capital was visibly lively.

All over the states, officials big and small.

A person who would never have the chance to visit the capital once in his life.

They all took the opportunity to celebrate the queen's birthday and finally saw the prosperous scene of the Central Plains.

Apart from these own people, there are some more eye-catching existences.

They wore clothes that were very different from those in the Central Plains and spoke a different language.

Like a villager from the countryside, he looked at everything in the capital with shock, curiosity, and envy.

Among the people accompanying him, there is often an official wearing the official uniform of the Zhou Dynasty.

With pride and pride on his face, he explained various features to them. These people are thousands of miles away, or even not far away.

Envoys from various countries came from far away from the realm outside the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Carrying a huge amount of gifts, they walked on the road for a year or even several years.

The reason is to congratulate the Queen of Zhou on her birthday.

To show humility and submission.

Because, this is the big week.

It is a huge empire that spans north, south, east and west and occupies countless mountains and rivers.

Although it is now somewhat old and beginning to decay.

But in the moment it doesn't fall completely.

No one dares to stand up and show their teeth!

The blessing ceremony at Huainan Palace has been going on for a month.

Still no sign of stopping.

The entire palace was filled with smoke and mist, as if it had become a Taoist temple in the mountains.

The smell of burnt fireworks made Li Zhen feel dizzy, but there was nothing he could do.

We had to close the doors and windows tightly and sprinkle water to disperse them.

I heard that once this ritual begins, it cannot be interrupted.

It has to last for seventy-seven forty-nine days before it is complete.

At that time, the person being prayed for will be able to receive blessings from God.

All diseases will not invade, and all evils will be warded off.

After Li Zhen heard this, he smiled slightly.

I compliment the King of Huainan on what a filial son he is and how thoughtful he is.

But in my heart, I felt a little disdainful.

If you believe in praying for longevity, you might as well believe in him!
  At the very least, my "Six Qi Breathing Method" is really useful and not a lie.

I have been practicing for more than a year and don’t talk about anything else.

The four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter changed. Not to mention getting sick, I didn't even cough.

Moreover, he is in full spirit and has a rosy complexion.

Compared to the depressed and pale self before, he was completely different.

This is entirely the result of the "Six Qi Breathing Method".

It's a pity that the King of Huainan only believed in those two old Taoist priests who were not good birds.

He didn't even pay attention to a young boy like him.

But then again, Li Zhen actually understood it in his heart.

It doesn't matter whether it is the King of Huainan or the eldest princess.

They must all understand that this blessing is just for show and has no actual effect at all.

But as long as people in the world see it, they will achieve the effect they want.

He is not as good as the eldest prince in literature and inferior to the second prince in martial arts.

The King of Huainan could only try to overtake in a corner and gain support in terms of filial piety.

But don’t tell me, it’s really useful.

Recently, the reputation of King Huainan has improved significantly.

Even the emperor has vaguely relaxed the restrictions on him, and the palace is very cooperative in praying for blessings.

Such a signal stirred up the thoughts of those who were interested.

Li Zhen didn't care about the prospects of the political allies of King Huainan and the eldest princess.

However, he did hope that they would be stronger and step from behind the scenes to the stage.

After all, judging from past historical experience, three-party competition is the most stable struggle situation.

No matter whether the eldest prince or the second prince becomes bigger, King Huainan will soon be in trouble.

But if King Huainan can show some potential and attract some people to defect to him.

That situation might be a little different.

Only through the struggle of mutual restraint can Li Zhen be given a longer development time.

In the library in the evening, the sunset is gorgeous.

In my mind, I imagined a scene where the three parties stood in opposition and no one could do anything to anyone.

Li Zhen laughed happily.

back.

He unexpectedly discovered that Zhao Qing was here.
