Chapter 296: The Pearl in the Palm, Making Clouds and Rains
Little did she know that His Highness Hanzhang already admired Gong Mengbi very much, and had a simple feeling of "Gong Mingfu, you want a wife but not me".
Princess Hanzhang didn't ask directly, but just tried to find out about Gong Mengbi in a roundabout way.
Gong Mengbi had nothing to hide. He was just a wild fox who strayed from the pack and accidentally found enlightenment and embarked on the path of cultivation.
Now he is the Fox Chief in Dongyang County, and can barely be considered the favorite student of the headmaster of Tianhu Academy.
His Highness Hanzhang did not look down on him. Although others did not know about the affairs of Tianhu Courtyard, he knew them very well because of Lord Qiantang.
On the surface, the Tianhu Academy is just a place for fox fairies to practice under the rule of the Queen Mother of Mount Tai, and the headmaster of the Tianhu Academy is only a third-rank official.
But in fact, this third-grade position of the headmaster is held by the super-grade celestial jade fairy goddess. It seems that the position is not high, not noble, and not powerful, but as long as you catch the eye of the goddess, your future will be far greater than people imagine.
This person was sent by Fairy Qingyao to deliver the letter. Although it was not explicitly stated that he was the person favored by the goddess, Fairy Qingyao sometimes represented the Jade Fairy Goddess.
Having taught him Dragon Script these days, I can tell he's a gifted genius. I've also heard him say he has lofty ambitions to educate the fox community, possessing an extraordinary magnanimity and vision. He possesses both talent and integrity, nothing less.
The more His Highness Hanzhang understood, the more satisfied he became.
What he asked Gong Mengbi was suggestive, and Gong Mengbi reciprocated the request and inadvertently found out everything about the Qiantang Dragon Palace.
Qiantang Jun Chilong attained enlightenment and gave birth to eight sons and one daughter. The youngest daughter Lingyi was undoubtedly the apple of his eye. Not only was she loved by Qiantang Jun, but her eight brothers also cared for her very much.
Qiantang Jun's family is all like this.
Qiantang Jun's elder brother, Dongting Jun, also had many sons and daughters and was a daughter slave.
The Dragon King of Dongting Lake made inquiries from many sources regarding the marriage of his daughter, hoping to find a suitable husband for her. He chose the second son of the Dragon King of Jinghe River, the Lord of Jingyang.
But Jingyang Jun was heartless and dissolute, and his parents-in-law doted on him and ignored him. The Dragon Girl of Dongting suffered a lot. Later, she asked the scholar Liu Yi from the mortal world to travel thousands of miles to convey a message to Dongting Jun, and only then was the Dragon Girl brought back.
Although Liu Yi was just an ordinary man, he was of superior courage, kindness and integrity. Later, he married the Dragon Girl of Dongting Lake and they lived a loving life that was the envy of others.
With this lesson in mind, the whole family was extremely cautious about Princess Lingyi's marriage.
Gong Mengbi finally realized the flavor afterward.
Lord Dongting has already ascended to heaven, and Liu Yi has taken over the position of Lord Long.
Qiantang Jun's achievements were actually sufficient, but he had a strong and overbearing temperament. To put it nicely, he was resolute and decisive, but to put it bluntly, he was stubborn and self-willed, and acted without considering the consequences.
The cause of sin is in our past and we cannot escape it.
When the Dragon Queen was pregnant with Princess Lingyi, he angered her to the point of making her sick. The dragon girl she gave birth to was also born with congenital deficiencies, which greatly damaged the vitality of both mother and daughter.
Later, the Dragon Queen went to heaven to seek peace and tranquility. Only then did Qiantang Jun cultivate himself, repent wholeheartedly, and do many good deeds. Now, his merits have gradually been fulfilled, and he can already feel the call of heaven.
But he was worried about Princess Lingyi and refused to leave.
Princess Hanzhang's seven brothers were either dragon kings in the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, or had followed their mother to heaven. He was the only one who was young and stayed at home to take care of his younger sister.
Despite her young age, Her Highness Hanzhang has already reached the fifth rank of cultivation. Only Princess Lingyi is a little behind, currently only at the seventh rank.
His Highness Hanzhang spoke with a hint of deep meaning, "My father has been fretting over my younger sister's marriage. With my younger sister's talent, beauty, and character, I wonder who will marry her in the future."
Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "I'm afraid this matter still depends on the princess's wishes. I'm afraid others will not be able to help."
His Highness Hanzhang said, "That's true. If my little sister likes him, we will do our best to find him for her and fulfill her wish. If she doesn't like him, then no one else will be worthy of our attention."
But unfortunately, Gong Mengbi probably doesn't have such a fate. At least Gong Mengbi can see that Princess Lingyi has no special feelings for him.
He inevitably met Princess Lingyi these days, but it was usually just friendly greetings between the two sides. Gong Mengbi had no idea what Princess Lingyi was thinking.
But he didn't care. He didn't covet Qiantang Jun's property, so why would he need to exchange marriage for his future?
Her Highness Hanzhang hasn't understood it yet, so trying to find out more by beating around the bush would probably be a waste of effort.
Shaking his head, Gong Mengbi continued to ask about Long Wen. Learning Long Wen and understanding "Dongting Fu" was not the end. Being able to use Long Wen and use it to carry out one's own Taoism was the real learning.
His Highness Hanzhang said, "Now that you can recognize dragon characters, if you want to use them at will, you must delve into the dragon's form and appearance."
He pondered for a moment and said, "It's similar to a dragon, and also has cloud and water aspects. Do you understand water magic?"
Gong Mengbi shook his head and said, "I haven't learned water magic yet, but I have learned wind magic."
His Highness Hanzhang smiled and said, "That's not far away. Please wait a moment. I will ask my father if he can teach you the water method. If so, I will teach you a method."
Gong Mengbi then waited for Prince Hanzhang to come and ask.
When His Highness Hanzhang found Qiantang Jun, the old Dragon King was playing chess with his daughter. He had been so busy that he had torn two strands of his beard off. When he saw His Highness Hanzhang coming, he immediately looked at him as if for help, stood up pretentiously, and asked, "Xiao Ba, why are you here?"
His Highness Hanzhang said, "Gong Mingfu has already learned the dragon script and can read the entire 'Ode to Dongting Lake'. I'm here to ask my father if he should be taught a water technique to help him understand the dragon's form and appearance and take it a step further."
Qiantang Jun immediately laughed and said, "Well, you are indeed the disciple of the goddess. It's just a magic spell, what can't be passed on?"
His Highness Hanzhang nodded and said, "Then I will teach him..."
Before he could finish his words, the old Dragon King interrupted him and said, "I'm going to call him. I just need to say a few words to him. Come and play chess with Xiaojiu."
After saying this, he left in a hurry without waiting for His Highness Hanzhang's reaction, his back looking rather disheveled.
His Highness Hanzhang glanced at Princess Lingyi, smiled, and shook his head, saying, "He plays chess with you, and you don't even give in."
Princess Lingyi smiled and said, "Come and take a look."
His Highness Hanzhang sat down in front of the chessboard, took a look, and immediately sighed. "It's really hard for you. You have to find a way to make sure he doesn't lose too badly."
He reached out and scattered the chess pieces, saying, "Come, I'll have fun with you."
The brother and sister began to scheme against each other and fight fiercely on the chessboard.
Qiantang Jun escaped and found Gong Mengbi in the martial arts arena. He twirled his beard, feeling a little distressed, and said, "I heard from Xiaoba that you can already read all dragon characters?"
Gong Mengbi said: "Your Highness taught well."
Qiantang Jun laughed and said, "Okay, Xiaoba told me so. I will teach you a water technique."
He pondered for a moment and said, "I won't teach you anything else. It would be embarrassing. I'll teach you how to control the clouds and rain, so you don't have to go back and accuse me of being stingy."
