After feeling depressed for a while, Jiang Chen asked timidly: "Your aunt is someone who doesn't hold grudges very much, right?"
"Hee hee, she loves me very much. Whether she holds grudges against others or not, Zhiruo doesn't know! Brother Jiang Chen, don't be afraid. I'll help you beg for mercy when I have time."
"Hmph, it's useless for anyone to plead for mercy. Jiang Chen! The descendant of Jiang Hanhou, his grades in the early assessment are at the bottom, and he has failed all three basic assessments so far!"
Beside the rockery, Princess Magatama, who had changed into a light yellow dress, appeared again without knowing when.
There was a bit of a sneer on his face: "Jiang Chen, you really have the confidence to come here."
As the saying goes, a dead pig is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water. At this point, Jiang Chen could only respond: "What? Do you want to retaliate against me?"
"Retaliation?" A sneer appeared at the corner of Magatama's mouth, "You are not even qualified to ask me to retaliate now. Don't worry about this kind of thing again until you have the ability to enter the final assessment."
Yes, Princess Magatama, as the number one person in charge, can't let go of her body to suppress someone who can't even pass the basic test.
"Haha, this stupid woman underestimates this young master." Jiang Chen knew that in Magatama's heart, she must have equated herself with the four words "ignorant and ignorant".
Just as I was about to say something, suddenly there was a burst of noisy footsteps outside, and it was the shipment of Woyang Stones that had arrived.
Jiang Chen waved his hand and said to Princess Magatama: "Who is that? Magatama, right? I heard from Princess Zhiruo that you feel sorry for her. I just ask you, do you have the final say in the affairs of the harem?"
"What?" Magatama asked coldly.
"If you are the master, I will demolish all the buildings within a hundred meters of Princess Zhiruo's boudoir. I will demolish them whenever there are mountains and fill them up when they encounter water."
"Also, please ask the best craftsmen to chisel this largest lying stone into a stone bed for Princess Zhiruo to sleep on. It is best to sleep naked."
Jiang Chen didn't care that a black line appeared slightly on Princess Magatama's beautiful forehead, and continued.
"There are eight Woyang stones left. Place them all according to my drawing. I will do some other homework next time."
"Also, little girl Zhiruo, I made these sachets for you. I cut the dragon bone Zhiyang grass into nine sections and made nine sachets. You should wear one with you and put it in the place where you often appear.
Just put one or two on it. Although this Dragon Bone Zhiyang Grass is a bit rubbish, it is barely enough. The yang energy it produces can nourish your meridians."
"In addition, this is my hand-drawn "Picture of the Yang God Entering the Aperture". It is accompanied by a mantra. You can meditate and visualize it with your heart. It can help you grow Yang Qi in your body."
"These are the methods for now. Let's stabilize your situation first. Remember, do as I say. Especially remember, you can't practice any more. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous."
Jiang Chen pointed out the situation like a master. This move made Princess Magatama stunned for a moment.
After saying this, Jiang Chen didn't give Magatama a chance to speak. He patted his sleeves and walked away swaggeringly.
When Jiang Chen was about to leave, she came to her senses and hummed: "Jiang Chen, you can't even pass the three basic assessments, why should you let us listen to you?"
Jiang Chen's eyes sharpened, and he paused, but did not look back: "If you really love your niece, you will do it. If you want her to die early, then practice with her just like you did just now."
It has to be said that Jiang Chen still has the potential to be a magic stick. His awe-inspiring words, coupled with his aura of calmness and self-reliance, turned out to be the majestic Princess Magatama, a powerful figure who controls the fate of the major princes in the Qianlong Trial.
For a moment, I didn't have the confidence to refute.
It wasn't until Jiang Chen's back disappeared that Magatama suddenly came to his senses: "This arrogant boy made me so angry!"
Dongfang Zhiruo smiled and said: "Aunt, brother Jiang Chen is actually very kind. Listen to me, that day at the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony..."
When Dongfang Zhiruo recounted everything that had happened recently, the expression on Princess Magatama's face became richer.
"I didn't expect that less than a month after I left the royal capital, so many things would happen in the royal capital?" Magatama heard that Jiang Chen came back from the dead after being scolded by the staff. It was a blessing in disguise and he was entrusted by the gods. For a moment, his expression was:
Much more complicated.
Princess Magatama came from an imperial family and was a person with a relatively high vision in the entire royal capital. Her aspirations and vision have never stayed in a mere country.
For this reason, she is committed to practice and is determined to explore a broader and more exciting world through martial arts practice.
Precisely because she has a high vision, she understands the entrustment of gods more than the average person. If most people are hesitant to believe it, then after listening to it, she was at least 70% convinced.
"It is impossible for a teenage boy to make up so many allusions in a hurry. Especially the fact that Zhiruo and her daughter Tiangu were born on the eclipse sun. Such secrets of the Wang family have never been revealed. The body of Taiyin,
The evil of Taiyin?"
Princess Magatama's mood is a bit complicated. Dongfang Zhiruo is her most beloved niece, whom she has watched grow up.
She has always insisted that she is weak and sick, so she insists on Dongfang Zhiruo practicing martial arts. Even if the practice does not yield results, it is always possible to strengthen her body, right?
However, today Jiang Chen scolded him so hard that Magatama's persistence for more than ten years suddenly wavered.
"Am I really wrong? Everything I did for Zhiruo not only failed to help her, but also harmed her?"
"Entrusted by the gods? Should I believe this kind of thing?"
Princess Magatama was very conflicted. Of course she hoped Dongfang Zhiruo would be well. But she was afraid that if she insisted that she was a liar, wouldn't it harm Zhiruo?
At this time, eunuch Xia Ting had already arrived nearby with a group of people.
"Two princesses, should we demolish it here or not? I ask the princess to make a holy judgment."
Princess Magatama looked around, with some hesitation in her delicate eyes. Then she looked at Dongfang Zhiruo. The little girl's eyes were full of eagerness to try, and she was obviously full of confidence in Jiang Chen.
"Tear it down!"
When Magatama said these two words, she felt a little unbelievable. Why did she break it? Why did she listen to that brat? Was she really frightened?
"No, no! I just think about Zhiruo. As long as Zhiruo is happy, then let's do it!" The competitive Princess Magatama quickly found a suitable excuse for herself in her heart.
…
After leaving the harem compound, Jiang Chen went to Dongfang Lu's place again. After all, he is still the king of a country, and basic etiquette still needs to be talked about. Jiang Chen is a smart man, and he doesn't want to be left out.
After listening to Jiang Chen's report, Dongfang Lu was quite satisfied: "Jiang Chen, I can see that you are much better than those imperial doctors."
"Your Majesty, the harem has too much yin energy. It is indeed not suitable for a person with the princess's constitution to live in. What you do can only offset it. If you want the princess to be no different from ordinary people, you still need to move out of the harem and find yang.
It is better to live in a place where Qi gathers."
"Well, I have taken note of your proposal. However, this matter is very important and will take some time." Obviously, even Dongfang Lu would not agree to this kind of behavior that clearly violates royal etiquette.
"In this case, I will retire first. From now on, I will go to the palace for consultation once a month to check on the princess's condition. If there are no accidents, the situation can be stabilized. As for whether it can have miraculous effects, it depends on the princess's own good fortune."
There are many things that Jiang Chen can't explain very clearly. For example, the "Picture of the Yang God Entering the Aperture" is actually the creation of Tianda, which was prepared by the Emperor of Heaven for Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen naturally does not have the ability to copy the "Yang Shen Enters the Aperture Diagram", but simulating a simple version is not a big problem.
If Princess Zhiruo really diligently meditates every day, over time, the effectiveness of this diagram alone will make her no different from ordinary people.
Jiang Chen would not say these words, and he would only save this to prevent the Eastern Deer from crossing the river and burning the bridge.
Jiang Chen was born into an imperial family in his previous life, so how could he not know about it?
After leaving the palace, Jiang Chen did not go out to have fun or socialize with friends as usual, but went straight back to the Hou Mansion.
His best friends were also banned by their respective fathers because they acted wildly in Jiang Hanhou Mansion a few days ago. In addition, the assessment at the end of the month is coming soon.
All the princes have a sense of urgency in their hearts. In the last six months, the Qianlong Trial will usher in the final stage of competition. The performance in this stage will determine whether the princes can continue to maintain their status in the next twenty years.
Those who are sure that they can keep their status as princes have to worry about whether their ranking will fall.
All in all, the cruel competition in the Qianlong Trial made all the princes dare not relax at all.
In comparison, Jiang Hanhou Mansion has a relatively relaxed atmosphere.
Because Jiang Hanhou Jiang Feng didn't have much expectations to begin with, and was mentally prepared to take off his armor and return home at any time.
And the current Jiang Chen's status as a mere prince of a country is beyond his scope.
The reason why he wanted to participate was because he didn't want the outside world to think that the Jiang family were cowards and didn't even have the courage to participate in the Qianlong Examination.
Now that the general trend of feudal princes vying for the throne has taken shape, Jiang Chen has no other choice but to take advantage of the trend.
Otherwise, he would avoid fighting the first hurdle in his life after reincarnation, which would leave a shadow in his heart and would definitely affect his future martial arts path.
…
The biggest gossip in the Jiang Han Hou Mansion these days is none other than Jiang Chen. Because the servants of the Hou Mansion have surprisingly discovered that the young Marquis has not left the house for five full days.
This is a shocking gossip. You must know that this young Marquis used to be a restless master. There is no record of being at home for five hours, let alone five days.
Even Jiang Feng himself was quite surprised and muttered: "What is this kid Chen'er doing? Isn't this not like his style?"
Jiang Feng's parenting experience only has four words - let it go.
The protagonist of the gossip, Jiang Chen himself, turned a deaf ear to the outside world's reactions. In these five days, he had hardly wasted a second.
Practice, polish the meridians, build up the solid body, and make final preparations for attacking the fifth key point.
Read, learn as much as possible about this world through books in this world, and integrate into this world.
These two things have almost become Jiang Chen's entire life in recent days.
The moment the morning light arrived on the sixth day, the four lines of true energy in Jiang Chen's body were like the morning light, full of vitality. They were also like the rising sun, ready to burst forth.
