Apprentice of the Heavens

Chapter 49
in the valley

Shen Diao reluctantly looked at the two people who were leaving, and bid farewell to the two with a cry.

Li Ming paused, looked back at the divine eagle, and shouted loudly: "Brother Diao, I will come to see you when I have time."

After speaking, he moved into the forest with his feet

Snake Valley Camp
Liu Xin and the others were walking back and forth anxiously, looking into the distance from time to time, when suddenly two figures came from a distance, Liu Xin and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw who was coming
"Subordinate, see Your Highness"

A dozen people bowed together and shouted, Li Ming nodded

"Retire, Liu Xin stays"

Everyone retreated one after another, leaving only Liu Xin, and then Li Ming specially instructed Liu Xin to take good care of the sculpture, and then left with Huang Rong.

The purpose of this trip has been completed, and it is time to return to Daxia

Half a month later
A white horse came to the border of Song and Xia
Along the way, Li Ming and Huang Rong traveled to the mountains and rivers, and they arrived at the border between Song and Xia smoothly. When they raised their eyes, they saw the flag of Daxia was close at hand.
"Brother Ming, it's big summer"

Li Ming looked at the happy Huang Rong in his arms, smiled knowingly, stroked the girl's Qingsi, and said in a warm voice, "Well, we're home now."

驾

The sound of the little white dragon's hooves was flying, but two days later, the two of them returned to the familiar palace. As soon as they arrived at the gate of the palace, Li Ming couldn't help feeling a little uneasy. He saw the naughty smile of the girl in his arms, and stepped into the palace bravely.

East Palace
At this time, Mu Nianci was dressed in loose white clothes, sitting in the lake pavilion, his slender figure was already swollen, and he was stroking his belly with jade hands, with endless tenderness in his eyes. Fighting for fish food around the lotus leaf
A few maids at the side were always watching Mu Nianci's every move, for fear of any accident, at this moment Chuncao ran in from the outside with a look of joy on her face.
"His Royal Highness is back"

Hearing this, Mu Nianci's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stood up. The maid at the side hurried over to help him. Mu Nianci looked at them helplessly. It's not been three months yet.

Throwing away the hands supported by several people, Mu Nianci came to the door and looked at the door eagerly, but after a while, two figures in the distance slowly approached, and their faces gradually became clear

Li Ming looked at Mu Nianci who was waiting at the door, couldn't help but pause, and looked at Huang Rong beside him.
The girl looked at Mu Nianci who was slim at the door, looked at the bulge of her abdomen, the smile on her mouth disappeared for a moment, her eyes were full of complicated

Although she had been prepared in her heart along the way, Huang Rong couldn't help being a little bit aggrieved when it came time to face it.

Obviously I came first

Turning his head to look at Li Ming at the side, he couldn't help feeling anxious, gave Li Ming a supercilious look, then smiled, and walked towards the nervous Mu Nianci
"Oh, this is Sister Mu, let's go in first."

After saying that, Mu Nianci, who was stunned, walked into the East Palace, leaving Li Ming scratching his head in place. This is different from the expected scene.
"It's fine if you don't fight"

Li Ming shook his head and slowly entered the East Palace
"Slaves see Your Highness"

Li Ming waved back the court lady who was saluting, looked at the two girls who were chatting with Hu Zhongting, and was about to move over

"We talk between women, what are you doing here?"

Huang Rong glared at Li Ming, and Li Ming couldn't help but smile and take back his steps.
Seeing that there should be no conflict between the two women, Li Ming also left the East Palace, but it was time to see the two elders
Imperial study room

Li Zunxu was furiously writing and correcting the memorial, stopping the pen from time to time to think about it, the white between the corners of his hair was quite conspicuous

After thinking for a while, the imperial pen in his hand was about to fall again, when there was a knock on the door
"come over"

"Children see father and emperor"

Li Ming pushed the door open and bowed his hands inside, Li Zunxu raised his head to look at Li Ming, the corner of his mouth could not help but twitch

"Come back? Just come over and help me with government affairs"

Li Ming suddenly felt a little regretful that he came to the Imperial Study Room first. If he had known earlier, he would have gone to his mother's first, so he hurriedly found an excuse
"Ahem, father, emperor, and son are still going to pay their respects to the queen mother."

Unexpectedly, Li Zunxu waved his hands indifferently and said, "That's easy to say, I'll come over after I leave my mother."

Hearing this, Li Ming had no choice but to come to the desk. Li Zunxu made way for him, and sat next to him, took a sip from his teacup, and rolled his eyes as if enjoying himself.
Li Ming glanced at the contented Li Zunxu, and looked at the memorial in his hand with ease.

Li Zunxu squinted at Li Ming, who was writing vigorously, and tasted the tea in his hand. He couldn't help feeling comfortable, and couldn't help thinking about the abdication
Well, it's time to retire and enjoy life
After thinking about it, I laughed even more

Li Ming ignored his father's smirk, and continued to correct the memorial in his hand. Although the country is peaceful and the people are safe in the summer, there are countless trivial matters, which made Li Ming have the idea of ​​forming a cabinet, but the specifics still need to be pondered and perfected Yes, it's too early now.

For a while, only the writing with a brush and the sound of Li Zunxu drinking tea were left in the Imperial Study Room.

Three hours later, Li Ming stretched his muscles, looked at the completed memorial and stood up, looked at Li Zunxu who was drinking tea and reading comfortably, while Su Yun beside him was pinching his shoulders, and shook his head helplessly.
"Father and mother, sons and ministers will leave first"

"Um"

East Palace
Li Ming carefully looked into the hall, and he was relieved when he saw the two women who seemed to be chatting happily, and said, "What are the two ladies talking about?"

However, the two women greeted each other with a blank stare, but Li Ming has a thicker skin, so he ignored the blank stares and walked over.

Hugging the two girls in exclamation, they discussed the matter of marriage, but since Mu Nianci was only a side concubine, there was no wedding,

Li Ming couldn't help but look at her apologetically, Mu Nianci smiled, and then said: "Brother Ming, it's okay, Nianci doesn't care about these things."

"Nianci, I have wronged you"

The arms around the two women couldn't help tightening.

night
Li Ming and Huang Rong were sitting in the gazebo, with a cool breeze blowing in their faces. After dinner, Mu Nianci seemed a little tired, so he went back to his room to rest
"Rong'er, what did you guys talk about today?"

Li Ming looked at Huang Rong, who was sipping tea, and asked curiously. The girl put down the teacup in her hand and smiled.

"Hee hee, I won't tell you"

Li Ming smiled helplessly, he could only suppress the curiosity in his heart

At night, Li Ming returned to his room after washing up, sat cross-legged, the internal force in his body flowed all over his body, concentrated his mind and came to the familiar space, touched Xiangwu Daoyu with his mind, and began to digest the books for a period of time, as well as the sword intent of Dugu Qiubai

The mind is extremely clear, and the speed of thinking has been accelerated several times, constantly absorbing and sorting out a lot of knowledge.

After these days, Li Ming has almost digested the books of the Great Song Dynasty written down in his mind, but it gave him a bit more clarity on the future path of martial arts, and combined with his own practice, he summed up a set of own boundaries

The initial internal force is to refine qi, and the food eaten in the body is refined and transformed into internal force. The quality of the internal force cultivated according to different exercises is also different, and the power will also be different
When the qi refining is complete, the body has all the meridians, and the body has reached a state of perfection without leakage, and the internal force is endless, as vast as the sea

Afterwards, there is the innate realm deduced by Li Ming, which is to open the porch and build a bridge between heaven and earth, so that the internal force and the energy of heaven and earth can be fused together to transform into innate true energy
As for the mysteries of the innate realm and the innate cultivation, Li Ming needs to reach this realm to understand it better. After all, it's just a deduction, but it needs to be understood personally to better comprehend the mysteries.
