The eldest princess Wushuang is sitting in the front seat.
The Nineteenth Prince sat in the first place on the left, as quiet and obedient as a child.
Four close guards, Ziyun, Luoyu, Qingshuang, and Chenxue.
Wearing purple, green, blue and white women's outfits, they stood side by side in front of the hall.
Wushuang's voice was crisp and clear, and he asked:
"Ziyun, Luoyu, during the retreat of this palace, you two will be in charge of the affairs of the palace.
Regarding this Fu Chen, have you found out his origins?"
Luo Yu took a step forward and replied respectfully: "Your Highness, after asking Dr. Jiang to diagnose and confirm that his life is safe.
My subordinates discussed with Ziyun and decided that I would be solely responsible for investigating his origins.
After many inquiries, we found that this person appeared quite strangely, almost appearing out of thin air."
Wushuang was not surprised and simply said: "Tell me the details."
"My subordinates saw that this man had an extraordinary appearance and a strange hairstyle, which made him unforgettable.
He ordered a painter to paint his portrait, and then personally led people to the city guard camp to inquire one by one.
None of the four city gate guards had seen him enter the inner city, so it was concluded that he definitely did not enter the city through the city gate normally.
After discussing with Ziyun, the subordinates took His Highness's seal to the formation center hall in the inner city.
After careful questioning, it was determined that there had been nothing abnormal in the second city defense formation in recent days, and there was absolutely no possibility of anyone breaking through the formation and entering the city.
In the next few days, his subordinates sent people to take his portrait to the outer city to inquire about it.
So far... I have gained nothing, my subordinate is incompetent, please punish me, Your Highness."
After Luo Yu finished his report, he got down on one knee.
Wushuang waved his hand and said: "You have done your duty with all your heart, and there is no fault. There is no need to talk about punishment. Get up."
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Luo Yu saluted, stood up, and returned to his original position.
At this time, Ziyun stepped forward, held up a pamphlet, and reported:
"Your Highness, when Luo Yu went out to investigate, his subordinates ordered Qian Yu and Qing Yun to secretly pay attention to Fu Chen's words and deeds, and they have been recorded in detail in the book."
Wushuang took the brochure, opened it, browsed it, and said, "Just report the conclusion."
Ziyun said: "My subordinates analyze this person's words and deeds every day and confirm that he knows nothing about Dayu and Kyushu.
As the saying goes, he is a villain, and he behaves like a commoner in the country. He does not have the slightest demeanor of a noble or a cultivator, nor does he look like a person with city power and scheming.
Ling Qianyu and Qingyun observed his daily demeanor and concluded that he was not good at talking and communicating, had an indifferent temperament, and was a kind person.
In my opinion, everything he said to His Highness is true."
After Wushuang heard this, he looked up at his nephew and asked, "Nineteen, how do you feel after you have had several contacts with this person?"
The Nineteenth Prince turned sideways and saluted, showing embarrassment, and answered truthfully with a ashamed expression: "I'm ashamed, I have never doubted this person before."
Wushuang did not blame him, but patiently taught him: "You are not bad at qualifications, but you are greedy for pleasure and distracted by other things.
Although you serve in the Forbidden Army, you are not wary of others. I know that you have a pure nature and treat others with sincerity.
I just hope that in the future, you can cultivate your mind and cultivate your character and have more palaces."
A teenage girl should teach a man who is nearly thirty years old in the manner and tone of an elder educating a younger generation.
Although there is indeed no problem in the seniority relationship, this scene always seems to have an inconsistent sense of comedy.
"Remember your aunt's teachings." The Nineteenth Prince was sincerely convinced.
I also knew for the first time that this young aunt not only far surpassed me in cultivation, but also had the same character.
After pondering for a moment, Nineteen continued: "I have been in contact with him three times, and everything is exactly as Ziyun said, and I can't feel even half of the power of cultivation in him.
In addition, there are warning signs in the inner city, and the two kings' protective formations are shrouded in them. It has never been heard of anyone being able to sneak in quietly.
May I ask my aunt why you guessed that this person is from Qingqiu?"
Wushuang closed the book and smiled.
Like the bright moon in the sky, the whole hall suddenly became a little brighter.
Looking at the people below, he asked: "How does I look?"
Not to mention that the Nineteenth Prince, as a man, was so stunned that he was speechless.
Even the four female close guards who were always by his side were watching with fascination.
Wu Shuang was not surprised by this, she put away her smile and said: "I am determined to be Taoist, and I concentrate on my practice and don't pay attention to appearance, but I am also confident that my appearance is not inferior to anyone else in the world.
Today, I actually bowed down in front of a man. Anyone with such an appearance in this world must belong to the Qingqiu nine-tailed fox clan."
Ziyun bowed and said: "Your Highness, please forgive me. My subordinates and others heard it clearly outside the door earlier. What this person said about Qingqiu is not like that of the Fox clan..."
Wushuang understood his subordinate's thoughts and did not feel dissatisfied. He said frankly: "Previously, I tried my best to explore Fu Chen and found nothing unusual. But if something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
Maybe he is really an ordinary person, and what he says is true, and everyone is naturally happy; or maybe he has profound cultivation and can easily deceive you and me. If this is the case, you must be careful."
"If it is the fox clan, what we see is not his true form." The Nineteenth Prince was shocked and sighed: "There are rumors in the world that the nine-tailed fox clan's ability to enchant and transform is unparalleled in the world. Could it be that it can be so realistic?
"
Wushuang looked at his nephew helplessly and warned him.
"Be calm, it's just suspicion. It's best not to be the real person. If it is true, it would be bad."
Then he said: "In three days, I will bring Fu Chen back to the palace for a meeting. You should go back early today to deal with this matter..."
After hearing this, the Nineteenth Prince hesitated for a moment, then stood up, saluted and said goodbye, and then led his entourage out of Wushuang Palace.
Wushuang could clearly see the reluctant look on his nephew's face just now.
After pondering for a moment, he whispered to Ziyun: "Call Qianyu and Qingyun come in."
***
The side hall guest room on the other side.
Fu Chen's plan to leave as soon as possible was temporarily in vain, so he comforted himself.
It's nothing more than maintaining the status of an ordinary person and continuing to survive for a while. You will always find an opportunity to leave later.
After putting the dishes on the table into the food box and covering them, he returned to the inner room and directly got dressed and fell asleep on the bed.
Outside the window, the autumn wind brought refreshing waves, and the sun in the sky quietly shifted to the west.
After waking up from a full sleep and drunkenness, Fu Chen's mouth was dry and his tongue was dry, so he got up and went out to find water.
When I walked out of the inner room and just passed the screen, I was surprised to see the Wushuang Princess.
Sitting quietly and indifferently at the table in the outer hall, Qianyu and Qingyun stood quietly on both sides.
Fu Chen was surprised and lost his voice: "Your Highness Wushuang!"
"Please sit down, Mrs. Fu. Qianyu will serve you tea."
Wushuang spoke in an easy-going manner, seemed to be very satisfied with his expression, and said what he meant.
"I have come here to talk about something. I saw you were taking a nap and couldn't bear to be disturbed, so I sat here quietly and waited."
Facing his savior, he was the eldest princess of a royal family.
No matter how approachable the other party appears, Fu Chen will never be ungrateful.
He walked closely and stood up, and said sincerely: "Your Highness, even if I don't mention the kindness of saving my life, I am just a countryman living as a guest.
If you have anything to do, just ask Qian Yu to come over and give me instructions. How can I bother His Highness to come and wait for me in person? Please give me your instructions."
Seeing this, Wu Shuang did not insist and said softly and quickly: "In three days, I will return to the palace to reunite with my parents and brother Wang.
It happened to be the day when the talented disciples of Yangtian Academy routinely entered the palace to attend meetings and compete together.
I want to take you with me, what do you think?"
This obviously creates an opportunity for Fu Chen to personally contact the outside world.
There was no reason to object, Fu Chen nodded and replied: "I have no objection, everything will be subject to His Highness's arrangements."
"That's good. I still have something to do. Qianyu will stay with me to introduce you and make arrangements for you."
After Wushuang finished speaking, he stood up and led Qingyun away.
Fu Chen picked up the teapot and poured several large sips into his mouth. He sat down and asked, "Qianyu, can you tell me what will happen tomorrow?"
Qianyu nodded obediently and spoke eloquently: "His Royal Highness will return to the palace for reunions every month, and the departure is scheduled to take place at the end of the month.
As for the Yangtian Academy, it not only gathers the top geniuses of the Shang Kingdom, but also the geniuses from other countries who have traveled to..."
***
Three days later, on August 30th, the sky was clear and the clouds were clear, the wind was gentle and the sun was beautiful.
When the hour was approaching, Fu Chen, dressed in brocade clothes, followed Qian Yu and walked out of Wushuang Palace for the first time.
When I arrived at the palace gate, I saw a group of well-dressed female guards and two four-horse carriages waiting.
The carriage looks simple and unpretentious, but is wide and sturdy, giving people a low-key, restrained and safe feeling.
The two of them boarded the carriage behind them. There was a lot of space inside and they didn't feel crowded at all.
Then the team set off, heading west towards the palace.
Hearing the sound of cars and horses, Fu Chen curiously put his head out the window and kept looking at the scenery along the inner city.
From green trees and grass, weeping willows by the river, to deep houses and luxurious lofts.
Soon after, I passed through the high wall of the cave gate and saw the magnificent Shang Palace.
The overall architectural style and layout of the palace are similar to the Jiangnan water towns in previous lives.
Everywhere reveals a fresh and graceful aura, and the architecture is exquisite and ingenious without losing its solemnity.
After entering the palace gate, Princess Wushuang first went to pay homage to her father and brother.
As a result, the carriage Fu Chen was riding in separated from the team and moved alone outside the school grounds of the palace.
After getting off the carriage, Qianyu took out a token and showed it, and then the two of them passed the guards outside and walked into the school grounds.
In the middle of the school grounds, there is a grand fighting arena about ten meters square, which is very eye-catching.
Two young men were competing on the field. The enemy was attacking and we were defending. People were going back and forth with swords. It was extremely fierce.
To the north of the school field, there is a high platform built to watch the game.
On the high platform, the main seat in the middle is now empty, while the seats on both sides below are almost full of people.
There were dishes and fine wines in front of it, which seemed like a communication banquet. It should be said that it was originally a banquet.
Everyone present was focused on the fighting arena below the stage.
When I see something amazing and wonderful, I will praise it from time to time, or discuss it with the people next to me.
Fu Chen followed Qian Yu all the way and quietly came to the empty back row of chiefs on the east side of the banquet.
Qianyu explained softly: "This is His Highness's seat. Mei Fu can just sit in the back row and watch."
Everything was arranged in advance, so Fu Chen naturally had no objection.
He sat quietly in the back row and began to look at the young men and women present.
According to Qianyu's advance introduction, these people here today are some of the most talented disciples in Yangtian Academy.
Everyone is a person with outstanding talents screened out from various territories in Shang Kingdom;
In addition, there are several outstanding disciples who come here from universities in other countries to study here, and their nature is similar to that of international students from the outside world.
