Chapter 49 Thoughts (Available)
After Xuanyuan Xingyao helped Nangong Jing put on his clothes, he found that Nangong Jing's face was flushed, and he was obviously embarrassed.
Xuanyuan Xingyao's eyes flashed with a smile, but he said comfortingly, "You are still young. It's normal for you to have trouble wearing clothes. You will be fine when you grow up."
It would have been fine if Xuanyuan Xingyao hadn't said anything, but when he did, Nangong Jing's face got even hotter. After all, others might not know, but he himself knew it. He wasn't a real five-year-old child. Woo woo woo... He was too embarrassed to see anyone.
When Xuanyuan Xingyao saw Nangong Jing, he looked like he wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into. Although he wanted to laugh, he forced himself to hold it back.
This also made Xuanyuan Xingyao realize that Nangong Jing cared a lot about his reputation, and he thought he should be more careful in the future.
How could he know that Nangong Jing was not being too concerned about his reputation, but simply felt that he was a fake child and it was embarrassing for a real child to dress him.
Nangong Jing was not a real child after all, so he quickly adjusted his mood. After having dinner with Xuanyuan Xingyao, the two of them rushed to Changle Palace for class.
When Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing arrived at Changle Palace, many princes and their tutors had already arrived, and Feng Xuanzhou had also arrived. They could be said to be the last two to arrive.
Seeing the two of them walk in together, everyone had different expressions. The princes looked at Xuanyuan Xingyao with envy and jealousy, but were a little indifferent towards Nangong Jing.
After all, no matter how strong Nangong Jing was or how high his status was, it had nothing to do with them. But Xuanyuan Xingyao was different. He was naturally gifted and favored, and now he had a powerful master. How could they possibly compete for Xuanyuan Xingyao's favor?
Xuanyuan Xingyao completely ignored everyone's looks and calmly walked to his seat and sat down.
Nangong Jing also walked over and sat down behind his desk.
As soon as they sat down, Feng Xuanzhou excitedly said to Nangong Jing, "You're finally here. You don't know how the princes and their tutors have been saying all sorts of things since you were away. Changle Palace is filled with sourness. There are even a few who are deliberately trying to sow discord and say they're standing up for me, saying that you see the Seventh Prince has a high status and can bring you benefits, so you introduced him to a good teacher. Since I'm of a lower status, they just ignore me. Anyway, that's what they mean."
Nangong Jing's heart skipped a beat when he heard Feng Xuanzhou's words. He was a little worried that Feng Xuanzhou would overthink things, so he pretended to be calm and asked, "Then what do you think???"
After hearing Nangong Jing's question, Feng Xuanzhou looked at him in shock, his eyes wide open, as if asking, "How could you ask such a stupid question?"
"My talent, in the eyes of ordinary people, is already considered genius, but in the eyes of true geniuses, it's nothing. I'm not a very hardworking person, so it's normal that no strong person is interested in me. But the Seventh Prince is different. He is talented and hardworking, and he is already a battle master at a young age. And we all saw that the Seventh Prince's master was not found by you, but was accepted by the Ice War Emperor."
Feng Xuanzhou might look innocent, even a little naive, but he is the son of the Left Prime Minister, who trusted him to be a companion in the palace. How could he be really innocent?
Feng Xuanzhou's words put Nangong Jing's heart at ease. He also realized that he was thinking too much, and smiled at Feng Xuanzhou with some embarrassment.
Xuanyuan Xingyao seemed to be completely ignoring Nangong Jing and Feng Xuanzhou behind him, but in fact his ears were perked up.
When I first realized that someone was deliberately trying to sow discord between Feng Xuanzhou, I was a little worried that Feng Xuanzhou would think too much.
But after hearing Feng Xuanzhou's words, Xuanyuan Xingyao breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time he looked up to Feng Xuanzhou a little more. Feng Xuanzhou was much smarter than he had imagined.
Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing had not attended class for several days in a row, so when the tutor came in and saw them, he was stunned for a moment.
Xuanyuan Xingyao's genius is not only reflected in his talent for cultivation, but his talent for studying is also equally strong.
What he had learned privately had already surpassed what the tutors taught him. Not to mention Nangong Jing, who had already learned all this in his previous life, so even if they hadn't attended class for several days, they could still understand what the tutors said right away.
When I first started reading with them, I was a little worried that they wouldn't be able to keep up, so I asked them a few questions. Later, I found that they actually understood everything. I couldn't help but sigh that they had a really good talent for reading.
"Seventh brother, why haven't you come to class these days? Is it the Ice War Emperor who is guiding you in your cultivation?" After the first class in the morning, the third prince Xuanyuan Zhang and the fourth prince Xuanyuan Chao walked to Xuanyuan Xingyao's desk. Xuanyuan Zhang asked Xuanyuan Xingyao curiously.
The third prince Xuanyuan Zhang was born to Concubine Li, and the fourth prince Xuanyuan Chao was born to Concubine Mu. Before being conferred the title of concubine, Concubine Mu lived in a side hall in Concubine Li's palace, so the two had a good relationship.
Even though Concubine Mu gave birth to Xuanyuan Chao and moved out after being conferred the title of concubine, she would still visit the other's palace from time to time, and as a result, the relationship between Xuanyuan Zhang and Xuanyuan Chao became very close.
"No, it's because my eldest and second senior brothers were competing. It's a rare opportunity to watch two War King-level warriors sparring, so I asked my father to help me get a few days off."
The Third and Fourth Princes had no ambitions, at least not yet, like the Second Prince, who had openly revealed his ambitions. They also had not opposed the Crown Prince or Xuanyuan Xingyao, so Xuanyuan Xingyao's attitude towards them was quite good.
Xuanyuan Zhang and Xuanyuan Chao both had warrior talents, though their abilities weren't particularly exceptional. One had a seven-star rank, the other a six-star, which would have been considered top-tier in ordinary families, but only average in the imperial household. So, upon hearing about Xuanyuan Xingyao, who had been watching the two War Kings sparring for the past few days, they were filled with envy.
"Young Master Nangong hasn't been here these few days. Is he also watching the two war kings sparring? Isn't he a summoner?" Xuanyuan Chao asked curiously.
"Although I am training to be a summoner, it doesn't mean that I am not curious about the competition between the two war kings, right?" Nangong Jing didn't know whether Xuanyuan Chao asked any meaning in this topic, but he replied with a mischievous look on his face.
Xuanyuan Zhang and Xuanyuan Chao didn't even want to say the word "envy". As warriors, they wanted to watch but had no chance. Nangong Jing watched it just out of curiosity. It was so heartbreaking, wasn't it?
Although Xuanyuan Chao and Xuanyuan Zhang didn't say anything, their eyes clearly revealed their envy and jealousy.
Nangong Jing slightly raised the corner of his mouth and said nothing more, for fear of accidentally hurting their feelings again. After all, he was a prince and had to keep some face.
Xuanyuan Xingyao looked at Xuanyuan Zhang and Xuanyuan Chao, and found their envious expressions somewhat amusing. He said kindly, "My brothers will stay in the imperial capital for a while. When I have a day off, I will take you to meet them."
Xuanyuan Zhang and Xuanyuan Chao, at least for now, do not seem to have any ambitions, and are both close to Xuanyuan Leng.
If they can maintain this state of being without ambition, Xuanyuan Xingyao doesn't mind giving them some benefits to completely win them over.
What's more, although the Dragon Shadow Empire is the only empire on the Dragon Shadow Continent, there are many kingdoms with relatively strong national strength around it.
For example, the Fit Kingdom, the Shuiling Kingdom, the Eurasian Kingdom and many other kingdoms, their national strength should not be underestimated. Even though they submit to the Dragon Shadow Empire on the surface, they are secretly eyeing the Dragon Shadow Empire.
Xuanyuan Xingyao had a vague premonition that the peace of the Dragon Shadow Empire would not last long. Xuanyuan Zhang and Xuanyuan Chao were princes who were training to be warriors.
If a war really broke out in the Dragon Shadow Empire, they would definitely go to the battlefield and lead the troops to fight. After all, they were their brothers, and Xuanyuan Xingyao didn't want them to get injured or even die because of their low strength.
When Xuanyuan Zhang and Xuanyuan Chao heard that Xuanyuan Xingyao was going to take them to meet their brothers, even though they knew that Xuanyuan Xingyao was trying to win them over, they were still very grateful to him.
Although Xuanyuan Zhang and Xuanyuan Chao's martial arts instructors were both War Emperor-level priests, much stronger than War Kings, those were all large classes and there had never been any one-on-one instruction.
If they go to see Xuanyuan Xingyao's four senior brothers, they will give them some pointers even for Xuanyuan Xingyao's sake. This will be of great benefit to Xuanyuan Zhang and Xuanyuan Chao, and their strength may even be further improved.
"Thank you, seventh brother." Xuanyuan Zhang and Xuanyuan Chao said gratefully at the same time.
Although Xuanyuan Xi had been sitting in his seat, he was always paying attention to Xuanyuan Xingyao and their movements, and listened to all the conversations between them.
Xuanyuan Zhang and Xuanyuan Chao both saw the purpose of Xuanyuan Xingyao's actions. Xuanyuan Xi naturally could not fail to see it, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.
Xuanyuan Chao and Xuanyuan Zhang were originally closer to Xuanyuan Leng, and with Xuanyuan Xingyao's move, it would be even more difficult for them to win them over.
Xuanyuan Xi sometimes wondered whether Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing were their nemesis.
The birth of Xuanyuan Xingyao when he was a child broke the situation where the imperial concubine had two sons and was the only one in the harem. Later, Xuanyuan Xingyao's talent was detected and he was held in the palm of the emperor's hand.
After Nangong Jing entered the palace, good things happened one after another to the prince's lineage. Now many ministers of the previous dynasty have stood on the side of Xuanyuan Leng and his men, and even some people on their side have begun to waver.
Especially in Xuanyuan Xingyao, after being accepted as a disciple by Binglinxuan because of Nangong Jing, Xuanyuan Chao was fine, as his mother's family had little strength, but Xuanyuan Zhang was different.
Although the power of Concubine Li's family is not as strong as that of Concubine Gui's family, it is not weak either.
Both Xuanyuan Qing and the Imperial Concubine were intent on winning people over to their side, but their efforts were limited. If it weren't for the fact that Concubine Li wasn't close to them, but wasn't particularly close to the Empress either, the Imperial Concubine would have taken action long ago.
Xuanyuan Xi felt that they could not continue like this. If Concubine Li knew that Xuanyuan Xingyao introduced Xuanyuan Zhang to his senior brothers, her heart would gradually lean towards the Queen.
If they really can't win over Concubine Li to their side, then they absolutely cannot let Concubine Li stand on the Queen's side.
If Concubine Li was suddenly assassinated, and it was later discovered that it was done by someone from the Queen's lineage, would Xuanyuan Zhang still be able to interact with Xuanyuan Xingyao and the others without any grudges? ! !
Even if it was discovered that the Queen and the others were innocent, Xuanyuan Xi was not afraid. After all, no one in the harem was a fool. Naturally, he knew why someone suddenly attacked Concubine Li. As long as it was not discovered that they were the ones who did it, Xuanyuan Xi was not afraid.
Xuanyuan Xi just couldn't believe that Xuanyuan Zhang could be so close to Xuanyuan Xingyao and Xuanyuan Leng with Concubine Li's life at stake.
