Seeing the two people fall silent in fear, Liu Hong stopped joking with them.
Then Liu Hong laughed and said, "Alright! I won't tell Yuanhua!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Zhongzhang urged the two men to express their gratitude repeatedly.
"Hurry up and demonstrate the Five Animal Frolics for me! Don't bother with anything else!"
Although Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong's little tricks pleased Liu Hong, the Five Animal Frolics were the most important thing, which is why Liu Hong warned the two of them.
"promise!"
So Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong quickly put aside their own selfish thoughts. They could tell what was important and what was not. So, under Zhao Zhong's guidance, the two began to practice carefully.
Zhao Zhong then imitated a tiger, leaping forward three times, then leaping straight backward twice, then releasing one arm and leaning sideways upward, finally bending forward and stretching his waist.
They then each imitated several actions of a bear, deer, ape, bird, and so on.
In Liu Hong's opinion, perhaps it was because the two were not familiar with each other, but apart from the bird's last movement, the other movements were just awful to look at.
"Your Majesty, this is the Five Animal Frolics that Physician Hua Tuo taught me."
After completing the final move, Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang both had rosy complexions and a fine sheen of sweat on their foreheads.
Although some of the movements were a bit unseemly, judging from the two people's performance, the Five Animal Frolics was quite effective.
Then Liu Hong looked at Zhang Rang and asked, "How are you feeling?"
After carefully assessing his own condition, Zhang Rang respectfully reported, "Your Majesty, I feel warmth in my limbs, lightness in my body, and a slight hunger in my stomach!"
"Oh? Then I'll give it a try too!!"
Liu Hong's expression shifted, and after speaking, he got up and went into the hall, making a move to prostrate himself down.
"Your Majesty, you mustn't...you absolutely mustn't!"
Seeing this, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong quickly stopped Liu Hong's actions.
Caught off guard by their sudden remarks, Liu Hong lost his balance and lurched forward.
not good!!
Upon seeing this, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong glared at him and rushed to Liu Hong's side, supporting him from both sides, thus preventing an accident from happening.
"This servant deserves to die a thousand deaths!!"
After Liu Hong regained his footing, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the ground, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
Recalling what had just happened, the two were terrified. If the emperor had actually fallen in front of them, even if he had only scraped his skin, the empress dowager and the court officials would never have spared them.
"Get up! What's with all this jumpiness? What's going on?"
Liu Hong showed no displeasure at the unexpected incident, and instead looked at the two of them calmly.
"Uh... Your Majesty... some of your actions are truly indecent. As the Son of Heaven, it is really inappropriate..."
After the two got up, Zhao Zhong glanced at Liu Hong with lingering fear, while Zhang Rang also cautiously nodded at Liu Hong.
"Heh~ You're right! It was I who overlooked that!"
Liu Hong then realized that he had only been thinking about the benefits of the Five Animal Frolics, but had forgotten that there were some movements that these servants could do, but he, the emperor, could not do.
Liu Hong then sighed helplessly. Although the emperor was high above all others, there were some things that he couldn't do just because he wanted to.
Seeing Liu Hong suddenly sigh, Zhao Zhong assumed the emperor was disappointed and quickly said:
"Your Majesty, Physician Hua Tuo also said that you don't need to do all of the Five Animal Frolics exercises. Just choose the exercises you like and do them a few more times!"
Liu Hong nodded and then said, "That's fine! Then you can practice it again, and I'll learn and practice too!"
"promise!!"
Then Zhao Zhong straightened up, gently raised his left leg, then raised his hands high, raised his eyebrows, and then stretched his arms upwards with force.
Seeing this, Liu Hong also followed the movement in a similar manner, somewhat like doing stretching exercises.
"Your Majesty is truly a divine being in this world, with extraordinary talent. Just one glance was enough to elicit such standard and graceful movements; this servant is utterly impressed..."
Seeing how easily the emperor did it, Zhang Rang was immediately amazed and flattered him.
Liu Hong glanced at Zhang Rang and said indifferently, "Stop flattering me, come and train with me!"
"Sigh..."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Rang approached Liu Hong with a smile.
Then, Zhao Zhong demonstrated the selected movements one by one, while Liu Hong and Zhang Rang practiced them in a very professional manner.
It took Liu Hong about three minutes to finally complete all the movements.
After moving my neck slightly, I felt that the soreness in my neck and shoulders had indeed been reduced a lot.
"How is Your Majesty feeling? Is there any discomfort?"
Zhao Zhong looked at Liu Hong with anticipation and asked respectfully.
Liu Hong nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad... After this set of movements, my whole body definitely feels much lighter!"
"Your Majesty, this servant congratulates you! Congratulations!! With this method, Your Majesty's health will become even stronger! This is a blessing for our Great Han Dynasty and for all the people of the world!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Rang's face lit up with joy, and he quickly showered her with flattery, acting as if he had married a beautiful wife or concubine.
"Heh heh heh you! All you do is flatter!"
Upon hearing Zhang Rang's words, Liu Hong laughed happily, clearly pleased with what Zhang Rang had said.
