Chapter 28: Let's Be Candid
"oh……"
Zhu Yijing didn't think much about it, nodded and walked into the house. He always felt a little awkward when sitting on the chair. When he looked down, he realized that this was different from his own in the palace. There were no cushions on the chair and the bare hardwood boards made him feel very uncomfortable when he was used to the cushion lined up on his daily life.
After twisting his butt a few times, Zhu Yijing couldn't stand it and waved to the middle-aged butler who had just served tea:
"This manager, go and prepare some cushions."
"I dare not, I dare not." The middle-aged butler was startled by Zhu Yijing:
"Your Highness can just call the villain Lao Wang. If you don't dare to take charge of the business, your Highness is the one in charge of the mansion."
After saying this, the butler Lao Wang looked a little embarrassed:
"Your Highness lives in the palace on weekdays and does not interact with foreign ministers. The Ministry of Rites and Personnel does not understand your highness's habits, so this makes a mistake. There is no cushion in the mansion for the time being. The villain will buy it at the market now. Your Highness will wait."
"Then go and go back quickly." Zhu Yijing really didn't want to sit on the hard chair, so he got up and led You Shenglan to the inner room:
"By the way, anyone who comes to me will knock on the door to inform me in the future. I don't want to be shocked by somehow."
"The villain understands."
He respectfully bowed to Zhu Yijing's back as he left. After the housekeeper left, Lao Wang did not forget to close the door of the house and called a servant to say earnestly:
"The Third Highness has just left the palace, so we should do our best to be servants. Your Highness doesn't like anyone to disturb you casually. In the future, anyone, including me, will report to you in front of the door before you go to find Your Highness. Only after you get permission can you enter."
After saying that, Lao Wang, the housekeeper who has experience serving high-ranking officials in the capital, added:
"Go and tell everyone to remember this, otherwise if you offend Your Highness in the future, be careful not to protect your head!"
When the servant wiped his forehead and sweated coldly, he said that he knew, but the housekeeper Lao Wang hurried out to the most lively market in the capital.
Zhu Yijing himself did not know that his casual words made the housekeeper Lao Wang very difficult. After he came to the inner room and sat on the soft bed, he looked at You Shenglan who was looking for a chair to sit opposite him and asked curiously:
"I have also heard from the Queen Mother's story about you. It's an interesting god. What have you done every day in the past three years?"
"Don't dare." You Shenglan lowered her eyes, her tone was neither salty nor light:
"I am not a god, nor a good man, but just a bitch who kills his father. The third prince does not dislike me, and I am so grateful that I am so grateful.
As for what I have been doing for three years... I am bored, but I run around the yard every day and don’t forget to strengthen my body."
When Zhu Yijing heard You Shenglan calling herself a bitch, he felt a little overwhelmed.
It seems that this strange woman will be very difficult to deal with.
But immediately afterwards, Zhu Yijing continued to ask about his little thoughts:
"Since you have been in the border for so many years and have not forgotten to train your body in the past three years, you must be able to do martial arts, right?"
You Shenglan still didn't look up, and she couldn't tell the brute force that she was carrying two heads and entering Beijing from the border all the way:
"In the next meeting, it is better to say it is a move that kills one shot, rather than martial arts. It is not easy to watch as a performance for Your Highness."
After sucking his teeth, Zhu Yijing decided that he could be more proactive.
So, Zhu Yijing leaned forward and slowly touched You Shenglan's right hand. After discovering that she had not resisted, she gently pulled her right hand up and turned over the palm of her hand to observe carefully.
Well, the calluses are full of calluses and rough skin. It is indeed a pair of hands guarding the national gates on the border.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yijing stretched out his left hand like a devil (the right hand was placing You Shenglan's hand), and gently rubbed You Shenglan's palm.
The rough knuckles were slightly bent subconsciously, but You Shenglan immediately controlled her instinctive avoidance, naturally spread her palms, allowing Zhu Yijing to fumble on her palms casually.
"Then, Shenglan, do you think I am suitable for learning martial arts?"
Seeing that You Shenglan was not resisting her actions, Zhu Yijing was even more arrogant and was also intimate with her name, and even became a little arrogant.
However, You Shenglan still looks neither salty nor light:
"It depends on your Majesty's roots and the effort you are willing to spend."
"Oh?" Zhu Yijing stopped his left hand and looked at You Shenglan curiously:
"In martial arts novels, is the storyteller in the tavern true? There is really a root bone in this world? Then come on, let me see how the root bone is."
"... Since Your Highness knows martial arts novels, then he also knows internal strength, right?"
"Uh..." Zhu Yijing hesitated for a moment and nodded:
"I have inquired about some things in this regard, but not many people are willing to teach me. However, I speculate that internal strength should be a way to cooperate with breathing and exert force. Even if there are extremes that make people start from a young age, more people should study adults' exert force methods. Even if they cannot do it all, there should be some effect."
After a moment of silence, You Shenglan suddenly poked out her hand and pressed Zhu Yijing's arm.
Zhu Yijing was shocked, but then realized that You Shenglan was just groping her muscles and bones, so she did not break free.
After touching for a while, You Shenglan shook her head and let go of Zhu Yijing's arm:
"No, the reason why martial arts needs to be cultivated from an early age is that some specific ways of exerting force require bone cooperation. Children's bones are not formed and it is easy to practice. The older they are, the harder they are.
Although Your Highness is not over 16, his bones have basically been fixed and will not affect his continued growth. However, it is impossible to practice martial arts. Even if you teach Your Highness the skills to exert force and without proper physical cooperation, it will only damage your internal organs."
"oh……"
After hearing what You Shenglan said, Zhu Yijing was filled with regret:
"I really didn't expect that the root bones are about the shape of bones. I have also learned this way since I was a child. I have gained knowledge and gained knowledge."
Regrets are regrets, Zhu Yijing is still very curious about You Shenglan:
"What about Shenglan, you? You must have started practicing martial arts since you were a child, right? How strong is it when you fight?"
Sitting on the chair, You Shenglan did not take the opportunity to withdraw the palm that Zhu Yijing held:
"If you go back to Your Highness, you will be able to distinguish your strength. New recruits who have seen blood on the battlefield can withstand ten people, five veterans, and as for the masters of the martial arts world, three of them are at the top. If you have a master in the big country, you can get one person at most."
"Oh? The master of the big inside is so powerful?"
"Because they all wear muskets with them, no matter how powerful they are, they are still physically mortals. One shot will definitely lose their combat effectiveness."
After thinking about it carefully, Zhu Yijing felt that what You Shenglan said was quite reasonable. She was about to continue asking questions when the butler Lao Wang knocked on the door outside the door of the main hall:
"Your Highness, I bought the cushion."
"Here you!" Zhu Yijing stood up after hearing this, and when he walked to the door of the inner room, he suddenly had a whim and pointed to the bed and said:
"You go to the top first, and I will come back soon."
After saying that, he left, leaving only You Shenglan in the house.
Withdrew his right hand, You Shenglan looked at the bed with the marks on her seat and began to take off her armor.
