Yun Zheng looked at the smiling eunuch Chen in front of her and thought that the person behind the scenes had finally arrived.
Yun Zheng said, "Eunuch Chen, why don't you go in and take a look first? His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince is seriously injured!"
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Chen's face, pale with rouge, twitched slightly. He pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "The Emperor is already aware of this matter. Right now, the task the Emperor has assigned to this servant is more important. Miss Yun, please come in. Don't keep the Emperor waiting."
Eunuch Chen gently waved the whisk in his hand and made a 'please' gesture.
"Okay." Seeing this, Yun Zheng couldn't continue to make trouble. After all, she also wanted to know what the Emperor of the Great Chu State was thinking behind the scenes, to actually let a known loser like her enter the palace...
It's really intriguing!
Eunuch Chen and Yun Zheng and their group walked for quite a distance.
Hall of Mental Cultivation.
The hall was magnificent and brightly lit with many candles burning. A man in a bright yellow dragon robe stood in front of the hall with his hands behind his back, looking up at the mural of a real dragon on the dragon throne.
His eyes seemed to be filled with forbearance, helplessness, and even more so, a sigh of regret. He pondered for a moment and said, "True Dragon Hegemony, but Zhen Zhen is also imprisoned in a small area, unable to develop grand plans. If it were more than ten years ago, I would have been able to give up power, fame, and wealth and devote myself to cultivation. I would have been much freer than I am now..."
"What do you think of what I said?"
After saying this, he turned around and looked at the woman in red who had just stepped one foot into the threshold of the Yangxin Palace.
Yun Zheng met his sharp eyes that concealed loneliness.
"Your Majesty, you already have the answer in your mind, don't you?" Yun Zheng said slowly without avoiding his intimidating gaze.
Chu Chengyu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
He restrained his breath and waved to Yun Zheng, asking her to come over.
Although Yun Zheng could not see through the intentions of this extremely powerful man in the Great Chu State, he seemed to have no ill intentions.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Yun Zheng obediently stepped forward and stopped five steps away from Chu Chengyu.
Chu Chengyu lowered his eyes to look at her, his eyes showing kindness. "When I first saw you, you were still a cute chubby baby. The baby you used to be has grown into an adult."
"Yes."
Yun Zheng still felt wary of him. In the original owner's memory, she had seen Chu Chengyu only a handful of times, let alone imagine how good the original owner's relationship with the emperor was.
Now I recall the past...
Chu Chengyu looked at her deeply for a few times and said, "You are very similar to your mother, but your temperament and behavior are very different from your mother Jun Lan."
When Yun Zheng heard Chu Chengyu talking about her mother, her brows furrowed slightly, and a glimmer of light flashed in her clear eyes.
Yun Zheng said with a gentle smile, "Your Majesty has summoned me this time. If you have anything to say, just speak frankly. My grandfather is still waiting for me to return to the palace. If he doesn't see me too late, I'm afraid he will have to rush to the palace alone. If I offend Your Majesty then, I'll have to ask for Your Majesty's forgiveness."
When Chu Chengyu heard this, instead of getting angry, a smile appeared in his eyes.
This girl now looks a bit like her mother.
"Actually, I know both your father, Yun Junyue, and your mother, Jun Lan." Chu Chengyu smiled and continued, "They both saved my life more than once. I can say that your parents and I are very close friends. A few days ago, Old Prince Yun came to the palace, and he and I had a long chat..."
"Old Prince Yun said that you are now ready to practice, and he asked me to give you a place in the Holy Academy's admissions examination!"
Yun Zheng's pupils shrank slightly, and a feeling of bitterness rose in her heart.
Grandpa, such a proud Spirit Emperor, actually came to ask Chu Chengyu for her.
Seeing Yun Zheng's eyes lowered in silence, Chu Chengyu continued, "However, I haven't agreed yet, because the Great Chu Kingdom has only been allocated three spots for the Holy Academy. If I rashly give you one, it would be unfair to me as the monarch of the Great Chu Kingdom. I hope you understand."
Yun Zheng nodded, looked up at Chu Chengyu and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Since Grandfather wants me to get this admissions exam spot, I will win it with my strength!"
Chu Chengyu's eyes were filled with admiration. "Great! A year from now will be the time for Dongzhou Shengdu College's once-in-a-decade enrollment. And in half a year, I will hold a competition for the Shengdu College's entrance exam spots. I hope you can take the top three spots."
Before Yun Zheng could say anything, Chu Chengyu added, "Although you are able to practice, and I heard from Old Prince Yun that you have good talent, you are still far behind your peers. Remember to practice well in the next six months."
"Okay." Yun Zheng nodded with a smile.
Yun Zheng and Chu Chengyu chatted for about half an hour.
She learned a lot of information from Chu Chengyu.
The Holy Academy is a place that countless geniuses in Dongzhou want to get into. Every ten years, there are assessments and admissions. In the first round, a group of geniuses are screened from countless countries, and then they gather in the Holy City to take part in the admissions assessment together!
Only those who pass the second round of assessment can become students of the Holy Academy!
Different countries get different numbers of places: small countries get only three, medium countries get six, upper countries get twelve, and super countries get thirty.
The age should be between thirteen and twenty-five years old.
The Holy Academy has been established for thousands of years, but in the past three hundred years, no one in the Great Chu State has been able to successfully pass the examination and enter the Holy Academy!
It is conceivable that there are people beyond the heavens and beyond the people in this world.
The most powerful young talent in the Great Chu State is Jiang Yichen from the Jiang family. He is twenty years old and an eighth-level great spiritual master.
Next is the third prince Chu Yunheng, who is twenty-one years old and a seventh-level great spiritual master.
When Emperor Chu Chengyu asked her what her cultivation level was, she thought about it and decided to hide her actual strength, and then she made up a cultivation level of the seventh level of spiritual master.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Chu Chengyu looked at her like a monster.
"You've only been practicing for less than a month, and you've already reached the seventh level of spiritual cultivation!"
Yun Zheng's mouth twitched. Isn't this very low?
Ever since she came back from the black market, she has been practicing hard and has already broken through to the third level of spiritual master. But even so, she is still despised by that damn Rong Shuo.
Thinking of Rong Shuo's face full of disgust, she wanted to twist his head off.
“…It’s okay.” Yun Zheng curled the corners of her lips.
"Your talent should be even higher than your father's!" Chu Chengyu sighed with a look of nostalgia.
After Chu Chengyu praised her a few words, he told her to practice well.
Before leaving, Yun Zheng asked Chu Chengyu: "Your Majesty, why are you so kind to me?"
Chu Chengyu was silent for a moment, and finally said slowly: "Because you are their only daughter, I owe them a lot. I didn't summon you to the palace before. First, I was afraid that others would be jealous of you and make a move on you. Second, Old Prince Yun wanted you to live a peaceful life, but -"
"Everything has changed, because you can practice now!"
