Yongdi Cao Huaixin stepped into the study with his hands behind his back.
At this moment, there was a handsome young man in the study sitting behind the desk, holding a brush and concentrating on drawing something.
Emperor Yong glanced at the old eunuch beside him and made a silent gesture. The old eunuch pursed his lips and nodded with a smile.
After taking a few steps forward, Emperor Yong could clearly see what the young man had drawn.
I saw a cute little girl drawn on the rice paper.
The little girl was sitting on a toad. The toad looked ugly, and more importantly, it only had three legs.
The old eunuch on the side was also a little surprised.
After all, toads this big are rare.
The young man who was painting didn't notice that two people had entered the study room. He was still concentrating on painting.
This young man is none other than Cao Di, whose nickname is Cao Xiaodi.
After finishing the painting of the surrounding scenery, Cao Xiaodi stopped painting with satisfaction. Especially when he saw the cute little girl in the painting, a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.
“Nice painting!”
Suddenly, a majestic yet kind voice came.
Cao Xiaodi trembled, raised his eyes suddenly, and saw Emperor Yong standing aside looking at the painting, with a panicked expression on his face.
I wanted to put the painting away, but felt bad about it, so I had to immediately cover the painting with my hands.
"Grandpa Huang, why are you here?"
Emperor Yong smiled, "I've finished reading the paintings, and it's useless for you to cover them up!"
Cao Xiaodi's face turned red, and he hesitated when he spoke, "Grandpa Huang, I...I..."
"Okay, okay, Grandpa Huang knows that my grandson also has someone he admires!" Emperor Yong said as if he understands everything.
"No, Grandpa Huang, you have misunderstood. Xiao Xibao is not the person I admire!" Cao Xiaodi shook his head hurriedly.
"Oh, Grandpa Huang really misunderstood?"
Emperor Yong smiled half-heartedly. His grandson had devoted himself to cultivation since he came back from recovering in a small town. In his free time, he would draw in the study.
These days, Cao Xiaodi has drawn too many little things in the small town.
Talk about bit by bit.
In fact, most of those paintings depict a little girl.
The little girl in the painting is always innocent and cute.
There are always two shallow dimples when you smile, which makes you feel happy.
Cao Xiaodi did not dare to look at Yongdi, he lowered his head and said nothing, looking silently at the little Xibao in the painting. The little Xibao was sitting on the toad, smiling very happily.
Emperor Yong knew what his grandson was worried about.
Xiao Xibao is the daughter of that gentleman, a person whom even Sage Wu respects with great respect.
Therefore, even if his grandson is attracted to the other party, he does not dare to show it.
"Di'er, do you have time to go somewhere with Grandpa Huang?" Emperor Yong suddenly smiled.
"have!"
Although Cao Xiaodi didn't know what medicine Grandpa Huang was selling in his gourd, he still responded.
"Then let's go!"
Emperor Yong put his hands behind his back and walked out of the study, followed closely by Cao Xiaodi and the old eunuch.
When he arrived at the imperial study, Emperor Yong asked the old eunuch to wait outside and led Cao Xiaodi into the imperial study.
In the imperial study room, Emperor Yong came to a wall with books, took a book from the book and handed it to Cao Xiaodi.
Cao Xiaodi took the book and took a look. The book was yellow and there was no title on it. He couldn't help but look at Emperor Yong with doubt on his face.
"Di'er, have you ever thought about why our Cao family was able to establish a dynasty in this world of immortality? Even back then, there was no taboo against the three schools of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism preaching in the Wei Dynasty!"
Without waiting for Cao Xiaodi to speak, Emperor Yong slowly came to a portrait.
"Because our great ancestor understood the way of the emperor in an ancient book, and since then he has defeated the three schools of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism and established a foundation for eternity!"
The person in the portrait in front of me cannot be said to be handsome, with a Chinese character face, but his expression has an aura of looking down on the world.
Cao Xiaodi knew that the person in this portrait was the founding emperor of the Wei Dynasty, his great ancestor.
Cao Xiaodi also knew something about Taizu.
Taizu was originally a child of a secular family. One time when he was out, he met a man who behaved strangely.
It is recorded in "History of Wei·Benji of Taizu".
Taizu was traveling alone. When it rained, he went to a nearby ancient temple to take shelter. In the ancient temple, there was an old man with disheveled hair and ragged clothes sleeping on the throne of the Buddha statue.
Taizu did not disturb the old man's sleep, but waited aside.
When the rain gradually stopped, Taizu would leave.
At this time, the old man who was sleeping on the throne of the Buddha woke up and called Taizu.
Taizu was confused.
The old man took out an ancient book from behind and threw it to Taizu.
"I see that your bones are amazing and you are a unique talent. I happen to have a secret book here that can create supreme magic. I see that you are destined to me, so I will sell it to you for ten taels!"
Taizu wanted to refuse, but when he saw that the old man was thin and his clothes were in tatters, he couldn't bear it, so he bought the secret book for ten taels.
This is the process by which Taizu obtained the supreme ancient book.
At that time, when he saw this place, Cao Xiaodi felt that if Taizu had not been kind-hearted, the original supreme ancient book would have just passed by.
It's just that he doesn't understand why Grandpa Huang wants to tell him this.
Suddenly, Cao Xiaodi thought of something, and couldn't help but look at the book in his hand with a frightened expression, eyes filled with disbelief, "Grandpa Huang, could this book be Taizu's supreme ancient book?"
Emperor Yong smiled and nodded, "It's the Taizu one!"
Cao Xiaodi trembled all over.
He never expected that the ancient books that allowed Taizu to understand the way of the emperor would be placed casually in the imperial study room by the emperor's grandfather.
You must know that although the imperial study room is not accessible to anyone, it is not an important place either.
Emperor Yong saw Cao Xiaodi's doubts and chuckled: "In the world of immortality, it has been rumored that there are twenty-four secret rooms in the Imperial Palace of Wei Dynasty, and these secret rooms contain the supreme ancient books of our Wei royal family!
But these so-called twenty-four secret rooms are just fake news we released, and the real supreme ancient books are always placed in the most ordinary places."
"Di'er, do you know when I got this supreme ancient book from your great-grandfather, do you know where your great-grandfather put it?" Emperor Yong asked with a smile.
"Where to put it?" Cao Xiaodi asked curiously.
"Put it under the legs of the table. Your great-grandfather used it to pad the table!"
Emperor Yong couldn't help but think of the time when he obtained this supreme ancient book, and his grandson's expression was the same as at this moment, with a look of disbelief on his face, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
But then, Emperor Yong put away his smile and sighed.
"Our Cao family was so noble during your Taizu period, but since Taizu passed away, each generation of our Cao family has become worse than the last. Until later, no one could understand the emperor's way from that supreme ancient book!"
Cao Xiaodi could hear the loneliness in Grandpa Huang's tone.
The imperial family of the Wei Dynasty, which once suppressed Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, was now reduced to relying on the power of Confucianism and Taoism.
"Grandpa Huang..."
Cao Xiaodi just wanted to comfort Emperor Yong, but was interrupted by Emperor Yong.
"Di'er, Grandpa Huang has given this supreme ancient book to you. You must remember that when our royal family in the Wei Dynasty was strong, we were no less powerful than any cultivator!"
Emperor Yong patted Cao Xiaodi on the shoulder and said sincerely.
Cao Xiaodi's eyes couldn't help but turn red. He knew that Grandpa Huang was trying to comfort him, "Grandpa Huang, don't worry, I will definitely study this supreme ancient book!"
"Well, this is my good grandson! However, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Even if you fail to understand the emperor's way, you will still be the future emperor of Wei!" Emperor Yong comforted with a smile.
road.
"Perhaps Grandpa Huang will pass the throne to you in a few years!"
