Long Live The Emperor!

Chapter 501: 10. The Imperial Palace of Da Qi, Four Years Later

Translator: 549690339

After the disappearance of the Imperial Advisor and the Sect Elders, the Imperial Palace had been very peaceful. There had been no similar cases of disappearance, but Qi Xiu had hidden fear in her heart and did not dare to do anything ridiculous.

In the dead of the night, every time the king thought of it, he couldn’t help but feel his hair stand on end. He could only attribute it to the monster hiding in the shadows. Perhaps it saw that he was diligent in government affairs, so it didn’t appear again.

Of course, this was just self-consolation.

Because that monster…

She didn’t care about him at all.

The monster was already five years old, and his shoes had changed from size 17 to size 27. He was studying in the study room.

The teacher in class was the Grand Tutor.

Other than him, there were also many princes and princesses in the upper study. There were a total of forty-six people, a considerable number…

The Grand Tutor was a man of character, so the seating arrangement was not according to the degree of favor, but according to height. The shorter ones sat in front, while the taller ones sat at the back.

Xia Ji sat in the middle, leaning against the wall.

At this moment, the Grand Tutor was teaching them how to read.

He listened ” very seriously ” because if he had learned to read earlier, he would have been able to use his abilities.

Therefore, he became the most serious student among all the princes and princesses.

Usually, after the other children ran off after class, he would stay in the study to concentrate on reading and practicing his calligraphy.

As a result, many giggling ” idiots “, ” bookworms ” only idiots can’t understand in class and continue learning after class ” and so on were heard.

Slowly…

His tone increased again.

“Our Seventeenth Brother really lives up to his name.”

“Not bad, not bad. The word ‘foolish’ is really well thought out. Haha.”

“Don’t always bully my stupid brother. It’s not too late for a stupid bird to fly first.”

“Eh, Ninth Sister, you really know how to apply what you’ve learned.”

“Of course.”

“If Seventeenth Brother was half as smart as Ninth Sister, he wouldn’t need to study so hard.”

After all the royal family disciples left school, in the distant garden, the prince could still be seen reading seriously in the study through the window.

When they ran away, they went to the study room, but the Seventeenth Prince seemed to be staying inside.

“What a freak.”

“It is indeed quite strange…”

“Moreover…” A tall prince who seemed to have matured a little said, ” Actually, in this world, only by entering a sect and seeking the path of immortality is the real way out. It’s useless to study hard! ”

“Ah Sect, Fourth Brother, say a few more words.”

“Yeah, how can I enter the sect?” The princes and princesses ran away again.

Xia Ji glanced at it.

In a trance, he seemed to have seen 1,500 years ago, the few princes and princesses in the Great Shang Imperial Palace running…

The twists and turns, the grudges, all flowed with time.

He revealed a smile, then turned silent. He lowered his head and flipped the next page.

The heavy snow in the deep winter was shallow and deep, deep and shallow.

Spring passed, autumn came, and in the blink of an eye, it was winter again. Xia Ji was already six years old.

In the cold winter, there was no charcoal stove in the study, and there was no earth dragon. The grand tutor understood the principle that the fragrance of plum blossoms came from the bitter cold, so he stubbornly refused to let the royal family build this study into a greenhouse.

At this moment, it was time for the students to leave.

The palace maids came to pick up their young masters and left. However, only one prince was still alive.

The footprints outside the door were covered in snow again.

There was black on white, black and white.

The candlelight in the study was still burning, dancing in the deep winter snow.

The prince seemed to have forgotten himself and the time.

The Grand Tutor looked at the only child in the empty study and smiled in relief. He walked over and added some oil to the lamp.

The oil lamp exploded with a light crackling sound, which made Xia Ji raise his head and meet the old man’s gaze.

“Is there anything you don’t understand, Seventeenth Prince?” The Grand Tutor asked gently.

Xia Ji pondered for a moment before asking a question that could show that he had read it carefully, but not to the extent that the Grand Tutor couldn’t answer.

The Grand Tutor’s eyes were filled with admiration. He sat opposite him and patiently explained to him.The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

One old and one young, one asked and one answered.

Not long after, the question and answer turned into a discussion.

In the blink of an eye, two more people appeared outside the door.

Xiao Wu accompanied Chan Fei outside the door, silently looking into the study.

However, the old man and the young woman were too engrossed in their discussion that no one noticed them.

Fei Chan glanced at the empty study room and then at her son. She suddenly rubbed her eyes.

“What’s wrong?” asked Little Wudao.

“It’s nothing…”

“You’re crying.”

I … I’m just happy to see Little Yu working so hard.” Chan Fei’s eyes were red, but she tried her best to squeeze out a smile.

“Oh.”

Little Wu responded, but she did not know that Hua Xiaochan was crying not because she was happy, but because she was afraid that her son would not receive the corresponding reward for his hard work.

The other concubines who had connections were all trying their best to get their children to have a relationship with the sect in order to enter the sect in the future.

But what about her?

She didn’t have such a relationship.

Although the Hua family was not weak, she was only a symbolic tool for marriage.

The Hua family would invest, but it would not be her or her son.

If his son was unable to enter the sect, he would definitely be involved in the struggle for the throne in the future.

The so-called fight for the throne was a narrow escape…

Even if you stay out of it, you will be implicated and die.

That was why Hua Xiaochan was crying.

I’m sorry…

Mommy is useless. I can’t give you the best…

Poor parents in the world, who wouldn’t want their children to become dragons and phoenixes?

The two people who were discussing in the study finally raised their heads slightly. The Grand Tutor was a little confused and a little enlightened. The contemplative look in his eyes had not dissipated. He only felt that the child in front of him was too spiritual.

This was simply a genius. No, perhaps a genius was not appropriate, because he had never seen such a unique child.

Although those ideas were still in the bud, how did he come up with them?

The Grand Tutor felt as if he had been taught a lesson…

Before he could say anything, the Seventeenth Prince had already stood up and said respectfully, “”lmperial Mother is here. I will take my leave today.”

“Good boy, go ahead,” the Grand Tutor said with a smile.

“Yes.”

Xia Ji walked out, and the longevity lock made a tinkling sound.

“Seventeenth Prince,” the Grand Tutor suddenly shouted.

Xia Ji tilted his head slightly.

“I’m proud to have you as my student,” said the Grand Tutor.

“I’m just as foolish as you are,” Xia Ji smiled.

The Grand Tutor smiled back. He was really satisfied with this student.

He watched the Seventeenth Prince leave.

Fei Chan pulled the boy’s hand and held up the golden plum blossom umbrella. She walked into the path that was covered in snow and gradually disappeared.

In the days that followed, Xia Ji was given the opportunity to enter Da Qi’s Academic Pavillion in advance because of his status as the Grand Tutor.

The Great Qi Academy was a special force in the Qi Kingdom. It had 108 small pavilions, 72 academies, and 36 schools.

This could be said to be a hub for the country to control the martial world.

The teachers of the Great Qi Academy were famous scholars, famous and Imowledgeable figures from all over the world, and also famous martial artists from all the big sects.

Any famous martial arts sect could hang the name of the sect on the small pavilion here and arrange for teachers to teach.

The students taught by these teachers were naturally special.

They had contacted their original sects and belonged to the imperial court.

With more students with dual identities, the relationship between the imperial court and the martial world became more and more smooth.

The Great Qi Academy Pavilion was the hub that played its role in this way. It closely connected the royal family of Qi State and the martial world.

Of course, this was also the sect’s tacit agreement. This way, the Qi Kingdom could be unified, making it easier for the imperial court to rule, or for them to rule.

The most famous thing about the Great Qi Academy was that it had the richest collection of books in the country.

Xia Ji knew this. He wanted to come here to read.

The Grand Tutor discussed with him for a few days and then challenged him to three questions.

Xia Ji had won, so the Grand Tutor guaranteed that he would leave the palace and get a special chance to read in the Great Qi Academy.

Xia Ji studied for two reasons. First, he wanted to use his ability to obtain more Level 9 techniques. Second, he wanted to open his eyes and see this new world clearly..
