Chapter 118: The Great Seal
Chapter 118: The Great Seal
When Xuanyuan Xingyao arrived at Fengyi Palace, he was not surprised to see Xuanyuan Leng greeting him at the door.
As soon as Xuanyuan Leng saw Xuanyuan Xingyao, he hugged him excitedly.
If there was no official business that needed Xuanyuan Leng's attention in the afternoon, it would not be just Xuanyuan Hongtai and his wife who appeared in the imperial study.
"Seventh brother, tell me some interesting things about this competition. I feel like you've changed a lot since you came back. And Senior Bing was out traveling, so why did you come back with us?"
Xuanyuan Leng was too excited and disregarded the rules, pulling Xuanyuan Xingyao to sit next to him.
Fortunately, they were all together as a family at night. Although the Crown Princess felt that it was a bit against the rules, she also knew that talking about the rules at this time would only annoy people, so she pretended not to see it.
Xuanyuan Hongtai and Ning You wished that the relationship between the two brothers would be better, so they naturally didn't care about these things.
Of course, they were also very curious about the questions asked by Xuanyuan Leng, so they directly exempted Xuanyuan Xingyao from the formalities and asked him to speak quickly.
Xuanyuan Xingyao really didn't like telling stories, but since the person asking was his brother who loved him the most, he had no choice but to answer obediently.
The expressions of the people in Fengyi Palace changed as Xuanyuan Xingyao spoke, with surprise, pride, and heartache.
Especially when Ning You learned that Xuanyuan Xingyao had been undergoing special training for nearly ten days in order to improve his strength, he felt extremely distressed.
"No wonder you looked so much thinner when I came back this time. Fortunately, there are no other major events coming up, so your mother can give you some good nourishment."
Ning You wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with heartache.
Xuanyuan Xingyao recalled the nourishing soups Ning You gave him to drink after he was poisoned, and a trace of lingering fear flashed across his eyes.
Xuanyuan Xingyao doesn't want to go through those days of nourishing soup every day again.
"Mother, I want to go to the Monster Forest in a few days to tame a mount for myself, and then travel around the continent."
Although Xuanyuan Xingyao was speaking to Ning You, his eyes were directed at Xuanyuan Hongtai.
Because Xuanyuan Xingyao knew that the final decision would be made by Xuanyuan Hongtai.
The originally warm and harmonious atmosphere in the hall turned silent as Xuanyuan Xingyao finished speaking.
Upon seeing this, Xuanyuan Leng waved his hand to let the palace servants go down first, and then asked Xuanyuan Xingyao.
"Why do you suddenly want to go to the Monster Forest? If you want a mount, just ask someone to catch one for you. This Monster Forest isn't a good place to be."
Xuanyuan Leng suggested.
"Yes, Yao'er, if you want a mount, just ask someone to catch one for you. It doesn't matter if it flies in the sky or runs on the ground. As long as you tell your father, he will definitely help you find it."
Ning Youke spoke with an anxious tone, obviously not wanting Xuanyuan Xingyao to go to the Warcraft Forest.
"Yao'er, what do you think?"
Xuanyuan Hongtai didn't say yes or no, but asked Xuanyuan Xingyao what he was thinking.
"Father, I desire a flying magical beast. With my talent and qualifications, there are only a few flying magical beasts that match my abilities. My favorite is the Ice Phoenix Demonic Luan. The Ice Phoenix Demonic Luan is arrogant and powerful, and unless it is defeated, it is very difficult to tame."
Xuanyuan Xingyao replied.
"You can go to the Monster Forest. I'll find a few priests to accompany you, but you can't travel around the continent."
Xuanyuan Hongtai had also heard of the Ice Phoenix Demon Luan, and it was indeed very suitable for Xuanyuan Xingyao.
Xuanyuan Hongtai naturally would not stop his son from improving his strength, but there was no way he would agree to let Xuanyuan Xingyao travel around the continent alone.
"Father, catching a flying mount is my personal business. There's no need to send out the servants. I can just have Master accompany me. As for traveling the continent, it's because my current cultivation level can't be improved in a short period of time. I might as well go out and see some of the world. Who knows, my cultivation level might be even higher when I return."
Xuanyuan Xingyao replied in a deep voice.
Xuanyuan Hongtai frowned when he heard this. It was okay as long as Binglinxuan was not there to offer sacrifices, but he was still a little worried about letting Xuanyuan Xingyao travel alone.
"Father, I am not traveling alone. My two companions will also be traveling with me."
Xuanyuan Xingyao saw Xuanyuan Hongtai's dilemma, and after a little thought, he realized that he had missed something.
As long as it is something good for Xuanyuan Xingyao, Xuanyuan Hongtai will not object too much. However, Xuanyuan Xingyao has never traveled alone, so it is normal for Xuanyuan Hongtai to be worried.
As for why they said three people went out together, it was because if they said two people at the beginning, they were worried that it would arouse the suspicion of Xuanyuan Hongtai and others.
Anyway, let’s talk about the three people first, and then we can say that Feng Xuanzhou has something to do or can’t go for other reasons.
In fact, Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing are together, so I was overthinking it.
Everyone in the harem and the former dynasty knew about the relationship between Han Yan and Bing Linxuan.
It is well known that Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing have a much better relationship than ordinary princes and their study companions because of their two masters.
So even if Xuanyuan Xingyao really said that he and Nangong Jing were going out together, Xuanyuan Hongtai would not think too much about it.
Putting aside Feng Xuanzhou's strength, Xuanyuan Hongtai had heard of Nangong Jing's performance in the Continental College Competition this time.
In addition to the protective magic weapons given by Han Yan and Bing Linxuan, if Xuanyuan Xingyao can catch the Ice Phoenix Demon Luan, his strength will be further improved.
As long as Xuanyuan Xingyao, Nangong Jing and the others don't go to any dangerous places, they should have no problem protecting themselves.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Xuanyuan Hongtai's face, and he had already agreed to Xuanyuan Xingyao's proposal in his heart.
"If you really want to go out and gain experience, I won't stop you, but it will take some time."
Xuanyuan Hongtai said in a deep voice.
Xuanyuan Xingyao was puzzled when he heard this and looked at Xuanyuan Hongtai, not understanding why there would be a delay.
If it was because of the Chinese New Year, he was just a prince and didn't have to be there. He didn't come back during the war last year.
"In the near future, I intend to confer titles upon my sons. All the princes who have reached adulthood will be given titles and residences outside the palace. Although you already hold the title of Prince of a County, you earned it yourself. This time, I intend to promote you to the rank of Prince. Furthermore, you will have to choose your own Prince's residence."
After Xuanyuan Hongtai finished speaking, he drank a glass of wine by himself, completely ignoring the shocked expressions on everyone's faces because of his words.
"Father, I don't have many merits, but the title of a prince is enough for me. As for the prince's palace, you can choose any one you like."
Xuanyuan Xingyao is really not picky about external conditions. As long as they are not too bad and are acceptable, it is fine.
As soon as Xuanyuan Xingyao said this, Ning You became anxious.
If it wasn't for Xuanyuan Leng, who noticed Ning You's change in mood and gave Ning You a look to calm down, Ning You might have said something.
If Ning You was anxious, then Xuanyuan Hongtai was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
The other princes were eager to give themselves the title of prince, but Xuanyuan Xingyao wanted to push it away.
Moreover, this palace represents his reputation, but he lets himself choose at will.
Should we say that he trusts his father, or that he doesn't care too much about these external things?
However, it must be said that Xuanyuan Xingyao's attitude made Xuanyuan Hongtai like him more and trust him more.
"I said, you got the title of Prince of a County by your own merit. This time, the princes have come of age, and I bestowed the title. You are also my son, how can you not have it?"
Xuanyuan Hongtai said without hesitation.
Since Xuanyuan Hongtai said so, Xuanyuan Xingyao didn't say anything more.
If you say it once, it's modesty, but if you say it too many times, it seems hypocritical.
"Why did the emperor suddenly think of conferring a title on the prince?"
When Ning You saw that Xuanyuan Xingyao was no longer refusing, he finally regained his sanity, which he had almost lost.
Only Ning You could ask these questions. If Xuanyuan Leng asked them, Xuanyuan Hongtai might suspect that Xuanyuan Leng didn't want his younger brothers to have power.
Even though Xuanyuan Hongtai and Xuanyuan Leng had a good relationship, Xuanyuan Hongtai had never thought of replacing the crown prince. However, any emperor would be suspicious, even Xuanyuan Hongtai was no exception.
Only Ning You, as the queen and the mother of the harem, would not think too much if she asked an extra question.
"Yao'er is already seventeen this year, and the younger ones should grow up in a few years. It's time."
Xuanyuan Hongtai said lightly.
Several princes and princesses were born in the harem over the years. Although they are still young now, they will grow up eventually.
It is impossible for Xuanyuan Hongtai to let all the princes live in the palace for the rest of their lives.
The second prince Xuanyuan Qing is only one year younger than Xuanyuan Leng. He is already 24 years old this year. The other adult princes have also married and may become fathers soon.
Previously, Xuanyuan Hongtai wanted to make Xuanyuan Leng's position more stable, so he had been suppressing the title and not giving it to other people.
But now, Xuanyuan Leng's position is stable, and the princes are getting older, it's almost time.
Xuanyuan Leng's eyes flickered. He knew that Xuanyuan Hongtai's words "it's time" were not that simple. However, he was actually very surprised that Xuanyuan Hongtai would only distribute the titles now.
Xuanyuan Leng originally thought that Xuanyuan Hongtai would grant Xuanyuan Qing and others the title after they came of age.
But I didn't expect that until Xuanyuan Qing and his wife got married, there was still no movement.
Xuanyuan Qing and his men did encourage the ministers to ask, but they were all ignored or suppressed by Xuanyuan Hongtai.
Xuanyuan Leng understood that everything Xuanyuan Hongtai did was for him, and he was moved by this.
Although the news that Xuanyuan Hongtai was going to grant titles to all the princes was not spread openly, almost everyone who should know about it secretly received the news.
Whether ambitious or not, almost everyone is very happy.
If for no other reason, he finally doesn't have to be a bald prince anymore, and more importantly, they can move out of the palace.
Although the palace is nice, living under Xuanyuan Hongtai's supervision every day is not as comfortable as being the master of your own house.
People like Xuanyuan Qing who are ambitious are even more excited.
Because after being granted the title, they will truly enter the court. With a position in the court, they can better win over the court officials.
And after moving out of the palace, they don't have to be sneaky and cautious when they want to do some small actions, for fear of being discovered by Xuanyuan Hongtai.
