Cultivating Immortality, Starts with Green Plum

Chapter 94 Fifth Master, the Princess is here!

"Morning, Sir Xiao."

"Morning, Lord He."

"Congratulations, Lord Xiao." Lord He bowed and congratulated.

"Congratulations? What's there to be happy about?" Xiao Mochen also said with a smile.

Lord He: "Xu Ming and Xu Pangda were both students of Lord Xiao. At that time, they were in Zhixing Academy, and it was Lord Xiao who enlightened them. Now, one of them passed the exam and the other passed the exam. Isn't this a happy event?"

Xiao Mochi shook his head: "Xu Ming and Xu Pangda have achieved what they have today thanks to themselves. The enlightenment they received back then is nothing."

Lord He smiled and said, "That being said, this friendship is not shallow."

Xiao Mochi didn't know what Lord He meant, and he still smiled: "Mochi just hopes that they will be honest officials in the future and live up to their conscience. It would be the best if I can drink a few more cups of tea with them."

Lord He was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Lord Xiao is right, Lord Xiao, please..."

"Master He, please."

The two walked into the palace together.

In the Qiankun Hall, officials arrived one after another.

"Have you heard? His Majesty granted marriage to Xu Ming yesterday."

"Why didn't I hear about it? I was at the Xu residence at the time and saw with my own eyes that Xu the champion declined His Majesty's offer."

"Xu Zhuangyuan wrote a memorial, which aroused the gift of civil and military luck."

"I am also very curious about what Mr. Xu wrote in that memorial?"

"No matter what is written, if Xu Zhuangyuan cancels the engagement, I'm afraid it will be difficult for His Majesty to save face."

In the court, many people were whispering and discussing what happened in Xu's house yesterday.

If nothing unexpected happens, what happened in the Xu Mansion yesterday should have gradually spread in the imperial capital.

If the reasons written by the top scholar in that memorial were not sufficient, it would be very troublesome.

Listening to everyone's conversation, Xiao Mochen didn't react at all.

Xiao Mochen also hopes that Xu Ming can marry the princess, have a grandson, and consolidate the country's foundation.

But Xu Ming refused, and Xiao Mochen looked at Xu Ming with even higher regard.

Xu Ming must have his own reasons for refusing.

At least this shows that Xu Ming is not the kind of person who chooses to compromise for the sake of rights.

"Your Majesty has arrived"

Following Eunuch Wei's hoarse voice, everyone in the court stopped talking.

"Welcome our emperor." Everyone shouted in unison.

"My dear ministers, please stand up." Emperor Wu held up the armrests. "Before the court meeting, there is a memorial that I need to show you."

Xu Ming had already gotten up and was practicing Kaitian Fist in the courtyard.

Now Xu Ming has grown up. As boys should avoid their mothers and girls should avoid their fathers, Xu Ming has moved out of the courtyard and is living with Xu Pangda.

"Fifth brother, you got up so early."

When Xu Pangda walked out of the room, he saw his fifth brother practicing boxing in the yard.

Xu Pangda looked at the time. It was only half past the morning hour.

"I'm used to it in Xuefutu." Xu Ming put away his fists, "Brother, can you sleep a little longer?"

Xu Pangda smiled naively: "I have long been accustomed to getting up at this time to study. Fifth brother, you don't need to worry about me. Fifth brother, you continue to practice boxing."

Xu Ming nodded and continued to practice his boxing. Xu Pangda took a book and sat in the courtyard reading.

However, Xu Pangda's gaze would occasionally look in Xu Ming's direction.

After an incense stick of time, Xu Ming finished his morning task, took a deep breath, calmed the martial arts in his body, looked at Xu Pangda, and smiled: "Third brother, is there anything wrong? Why are you looking at me?" "Nothing." Xu Pangda smiled, "I was just thinking, is the memorial written by fifth brother really the reason for fifth brother to break up the marriage?"

Xu Ming also smiled and did not hide it: "Not entirely."

Xu Pangda's curiosity suddenly piqued, and there was even a hint of gossip in his eyes: "Could it be that Fifth Brother, are you really waiting for Qin Qingwan?"

Xu Ming was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "No."

"If it's not Qin Qingwan, then it must be Zhu Cici from Qi State, Miss Zhu?" Xu Pangda continued to guess.

Xu Ming was a little puzzled: "Why did Third Brother mention Miss Zhu?"

"Didn't my fifth brother write a poem 'Lovesickness' for Miss Zhu as a birthday present? I even sent it to you, fifth brother." Xu Pangda said as a matter of course.

"That song 'Lovesickness' was sent out by you, third brother?" Xu Ming asked in surprise.

"Yes," Xu Pangda nodded, "Didn't my fifth brother ask me to help deliver it? I saw a poem on the table, so I sent it over."

"." Xu Ming didn't know what to say for a moment.

The song 'Lovesickness'.
It shouldn't cause any trouble, right?

After all, for a literary girl like Zhu Cici, that poem or song has a great killing power.

"Fifth brother, you really like Zhu Cici." Seeing Xu Ming's silence, Xu Pangda thought that Xu Ming had acquiesced, and said unexpectedly, "Fifth brother, you have to think clearly. It will be difficult for you and Zhu Cici."

My fifth brother is the top scholar in the Wu State and is highly regarded by Your Majesty. He may even be a leader in the literary world of the Wu State in the future. It is impossible for him to marry into the family of the Qi State.

Zhu Cici was a rare literary talent in a thousand years, and the State of Qi would not allow her to marry outside the country.

No matter how you look at it, there won't be any result between my fifth brother and Zhu Cici.

"Third brother, you're overthinking." Xu Ming smiled, "I don't like Zhu Cici."

Xu Ming did not refuse the marriage proposal because of Qin Qingwan and Zhu Cici.

Qingwan might have even forgotten about herself.

It is even more impossible for Zhu Cici to run away with him, otherwise the entire Qi State will hunt him down.

Xu Ming also has a certain liking for Wu Yanhan. After all, they have been together for so long, and Wu Yanhan is indeed very beautiful. When the beauty list is updated in two years, Wu Yanhan will definitely be on it.

However, Xu Ming really didn’t think that he would always stay in Wu State.

Although Wu Kingdom is one of the ten great dynasties of the human race, Xu Ming thinks that Wu Kingdom is still small compared to the rest of the world, so Xu Ming wants to go out and take a look.

Take a look at what the immortal cultivation sects outside look like.

Look how fierce the warriors outside are.

Look at the thousands of demon kingdoms in the southern border.

Look at those barbarians in the northern wilderness.

Take a look at the so-called pursuit of immortality.

If you become a prince consort, it will be difficult for you to go out. At least you have to have a baby before you can go out, and it has to be a boy.

Not to mention how many years this will take.

If you really give birth to a child, will you still think about going out?
"Third brother, I actually have my own."

"Fifth Young Master, Fifth Young Master"

When Xu Ming was halfway through saying "I actually have my own reasons", Chunyan ran in:

"Fifth Young Master, hurry to the front hall. Her Royal Highness the Princess is here!"

[I am guilty. I really intended to make 10,000 yuan a day, but...
When the day comes that I can support myself by writing books, I will throw my resignation letter in that bastard’s face!
I don’t have to work overtime on Sunday. I hope I can make up what I owe on Sunday.

I’ll bark a few times first: Woof woof woof~~~~]
