The full moon filled the West Tower, and when the silvery white moonlight fell on the glazed eaves of Fengming Hall, Wei Changtian, who had been thinking for a long time, finally opened his eyes.
Then he saw Ning Yuke kneeling at his feet.
Good guy, the person with feelings has been kneeling here just now?
He sighed inwardly, but Wei Changtian got used to it a little better this time and didn't force Ning Yuke to get up.
"What time is it now?"
"It's the end of the Youshi period when I return to my master."
Ning Yuke replied softly: "Gui Shoufu and Mr. Shen have been gone for more than half an hour."
"oh."
Nodding, Wei Changtian glanced at the night outside the window, stood up and walked out of the hall: "Okay, I'll go back then."
"Master, I am going to host a banquet for Dali's envoys later..."
Ning Yuke hurriedly got up from the ground, trembling slightly, probably because he had just knelt down.
But she didn't care about it, but took two quick steps to follow Wei Changtian, lowered her head and asked in a low voice:
"Aren't you going to stay with us?"
"Um......"
Wei Changtian hesitated for a moment and asked: "Master Shen, are you going?"
"Probably not coming."
"Then I won't go either."
When Wei Changtian heard that Shen Ran would not participate, he immediately lost interest: "Send someone to tell Mr. Shen and let him have time to find me... Just say that I have something important to discuss with him."
"My slave understands."
Ning Yuke nodded lightly and followed Wei Changtian step by step until he was sent out of the palace.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Wei."
The young eunuch waiting outside the palace immediately came up to him and reminded him in a low voice: "It will be Xu Shi soon, and Dali's envoys are already waiting in Changchun Garden. I wonder if the banquet can be held on time?"
"Well, just start the banquet on time."
Ning Yuke nodded slightly and said to the young eunuch: "Prepare the car and send someone to take Mr. Wei back to the house..."
"No."
Turning back, Wei Changtian cupped his hands at Ning Yuke and interrupted: "Your Majesty, the common people can go back on their own."
"good."
Ning Yuke's expression was calm and she said nothing more: "Then Mr. Wei, please leave on your own."
"Yes, the grassroots resigned."
"..."
From "master" to "commoner", from "servant" to "your majesty".
Wei Changtian and Ning Yuke are now very comfortable with this identity switch, and they are basically "two faces in front of each other and one in back".
With such superb acting skills, even if others could see some clues, they would never be able to imagine what kind of "abnormal relationship" the two people would have in private.
"His Majesty......"
Watching Wei Changtian walking away, the young eunuch looked back and asked, "Do you want to go back to Guangming Palace to change clothes?"
"No need, just go directly to Changchun Garden."
Pulling up her long sleeves, Ning Yuke has now completely restored her appearance as an empress.
Her long skirt swayed slightly as she walked in a certain direction. The maids she met along the way stopped and bowed their heads, and the guards all knelt down on one knee.
As Ning Yuke has been "king" for longer and longer, everyone in the palace recognizes the empress more and more, so most of their expressions now are very respectful.
Only the eyes of Qing Xian, who was following in the distance, were somewhat meaningful.
Although she is Ning Yuke's "guard", she is not always with him.
Especially when he was in the palace, Ning Yuke would only accompany him when he attended certain special occasions.
Therefore, Qingxian was not in Fengming Hall just now. He only came to check the situation after the vision of "Purple Qi Coming from the East" appeared.
Then, she saw Ning Yuke holding grass in Wei Changtian's mouth through the window.
Normal people would probably be shocked if they saw this kind of thing.
Although Qingxian is not a "human", his mentality at first was the same.
But as time goes by, she seems to have a different emotion now.
Her red lips were slightly pursed, her eyebrows were raised, and an imperceptible smile appeared on her face.
Qing Xian's appearance is enough to make most men in the world fascinated, even enough to reach the point of "knowing men and getting better".
However, the former quickly suppressed his smile and walked towards his residence.
...
...
the other side.
It was already Xu o'clock when Wei Changtian returned to the small house, and the "state banquet" at the palace should have already begun.
Xu Qingwan and Lu Jingyao rarely eat at home since the establishment of Yingfengsheng. They have to be busy until late at night every day before coming back, and it is the same today.
In addition, Yuan'er, Qiu Yun, Li Suyue and others rarely come to the main table to eat, so the only two little girls Achun and A Gou have been "dining" with Wei Changtian recently.
"Master! I broke through the seventh level today!"
During the meal, Ah Chun happily reported the good news.
From "Xunfu" to the seventh rank, a state that most normal warriors would never be able to reach in their entire lives, Achun achieved it in less than a year.
This speed is not only possible because she is an "innate Taoist body" with full access to the sixty-four meridians, but her extremely generous cultivation resources also play a key role in it.
The heaven-level internal strength "Guiyuan Gong", the best demon spirit pill that has never been broken, various kinds of elixirs, and the guidance of several "famous teachers" including Lao Zhangtou...
Given the training conditions, a leashed dog would probably not be too bad.
Hmm...that's not appropriate to say.
After all, Agou, who now has the same resources, has not even been able to "find a house" yet.
Unlike Ah Chun, Ah Gou has access to all eight main meridians and has the most basic conditions for cultivation.
However, only thirteen of her fifty-six secondary meridians were connected, and the total was only twenty-one.
Only 30% of the sixty-four meridians are open, which is already the lowest level of talent.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of martial artist can only reach the seventh level at most. Even if Wei Changtian piles up resources for her, she will probably be able to barely break through to the sixth level... It also depends on luck.
And Achun, who is of the same age as her, will also be in the upper third grade.
Although the two little girls usually work hard in their cultivation, the gap between people sometimes cannot be bridged by hard work.

"..."
"cough!"
He coughed dryly and swallowed the rice that almost choked him. Wei Changtian suppressed the "jealousy" in his heart and said to Achun calmly: "Not bad, it's just a little slower than when I was a teacher."
"Wow! Master is so awesome!"
Achun's little face was full of admiration: "Master is already at the seventh level when he is less than eight years old?"
"It's natural."
Wei Changtian curled his lips without feeling any shame: "So you must not be arrogant, you still need to continue to work hard."
"Yes, Master! Ah Chun will definitely work hard!"
Ah Chun nodded hurriedly, and then asked with some expectancy: "Master, what rank are you now?"
"this......"
Wei Changtian's expression froze. He scooped up the remaining rice in the bowl and put it into his mouth. Then he put the empty bowl on the table and said, "Go and serve the teacher a bowl of rice!"
"Okay!"
Ah Chun was still young and his attention was accidentally diverted by Wei Changtian. He stopped asking the question just now and ran to fill the meal with an empty bowl.
At this time, Wei Changtian also turned his attention to Agou, who was lowering his head to eat.
Although the latter remained silent and looked happy, he must have felt uncomfortable inside.
well......
My only relative is gone, and my cultivation is much worse than others.
At such a young age, he has endured pressure that should not be endured at this age. If it were any other child, he would have given up on himself long ago.
But Agou never showed a trace of frustration in front of everyone.
From this perspective, it is considered strong enough.
After sighing a few words in his heart, Wei Changtian was about to open his mouth to comfort Ah Gou.
But at this moment, a person suddenly walked over in a hurry outside the dining room.
"Brother Chu."
Seeing Chu Xianping's expression, Wei Changtian's heart suddenly sank, and he quickly put down his chopsticks and greeted him.
"What's wrong?"
"Son."
Chu Xianping cupped his hands with a complicated expression, and immediately replied in a low voice: "The latest news has just been sent back from Dafeng."
