Emperor Xuande was choked by Zhao Letong and was speechless. The Zhao family members lowered their heads, not daring to look at how ugly Emperor Xuande's face was.
Even Xiao Shanjian became nervous and quickly pleaded: "Grandfather, this is not the Zhao family's fault. I was out playing and was caught by the bad guys. Tongtong saved me."
"Then why don't you return to the palace? Did the prince scold you?"
"No, no, it's just that my grandson has too much homework and wants to play for a few days. It has nothing to do with my father."
Zhao Letong also said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a good man and would not hit a child."
She had to speak for the prince. The prince looked gentle and kind, blessed with great fortune, and was definitely the next emperor.
Xiao Shanjian has such a good fate, so his father will not be bad either.
Emperor Xuande laughed in anger: "Then I am a bad person?"
"No, the Emperor is certainly a better man, but he is too serious and scares the children."
"I see you don't look afraid at all."
Zhao Letong chuckled, "Is Your Majesty full?"
"I'm full, let's leave."
"But our family hasn't eaten enough yet. The emperor is so powerful that we don't dare to eat anymore."
Emperor Xuande, was it his fault again?
Zhao Letong smiled flatteringly: "Your Majesty, please come to my yard and sit for a while. I will treat you to tea."
There are all kinds of good tea in the palace, so why would he want a cup of tea from her?
The emperor still followed him, taking a good look at the decoration of the Zhao family. He could tell whether someone was a corrupt official by looking at his home.
Fortunately, Zhao Biao was not the kind of person who liked to decorate his house. The yard was very simple, even a little shabby, which was not in line with the reputation of a first-rank general.
However, the flowers, plants and trees in the Zhao family's house were very lush, and the air was very comfortable, even more comfortable than the imperial garden. The emperor felt a little clearer when he smelled it, and the pain in his liver caused by the two children's anger was better.
When I arrived at Zhao Letong's yard, this feeling was even stronger. I even felt a few years younger, and my legs and feet felt much lighter.
Many fireflies are flying in the grass. Although it is not a very luxurious yard, it feels like a paradise on earth.
"Xiao Letong, your yard is really nice. Is there anything special about it?"
"Of course there are. I've set up a formation here. Ghosts and spirits can't get close, and evil spirits stay away. Living here will prolong your life and improve your health."
Emperor Xuande narrowed his eyes and said, "It's not good for a little kid like you to monopolize such a beautiful place, right?"
"Your Majesty wants it?"
"Can I take something from a child?"
The implication is that she offered it up on her own initiative, and the supervisor of maintaining the palace formation did not have such a good effect. Emperor Xuande even wanted to live here. This kid really has something.
"Your Majesty, have some tea. I've got some good tea from Junior Brother Jianzheng. I'll go up to Mount Wuyi, where there are several thousand-year-old tea trees. Just one sip of that tea is enough to send you to heaven."
I heard it all from Song Lian. He loved tea and always regretted that he couldn't pick such good tea leaves.
Zhao Letong kept in mind that if such a good tea tree could be grown, there must be other good things.
Emperor Xuande took a sip, his mouth full of fragrance. "Not bad, good tea! The Supervisor actually hid something from me. This old man is dishonest."
"That's right. He's also good at refining pills. If the emperor finds some good medicinal herbs and asks him to refine some health-preserving pills, the emperor will live a long life."
"Good boy, I will look for him tomorrow."
This time, it was Xiao Shanjian who poured tea for the emperor. This filial grandson made Emperor Xuande's anger dissipate a little: "I was wondering why your father didn't bring you to pay his respects. He kept saying that you were seriously ill. So you sneaked out to play."
"Father doesn't know either. He's afraid that the Emperor will blame him. It's very difficult for him, too."
"Well, they are all difficult, but I am the only one who has it easy?"
Zhao Letong flattered him, "Your Majesty has worked hard, too. I will carve a spirit gathering formation and place it in your bedroom. Your body will be nourished day and night and will be healthier. This is a filial tribute to you."
"Okay, remember, I'm waiting for you to arrange it for me. Is this one from your house okay?"
"No, I'm here mainly to prevent ghosts from following Xie, not for health preservation. The palace has its own dragon energy, so it's difficult for evil spirits to enter. There's no need for this."
Zhao Letong was telling the truth. Unless someone with great power destroyed the dragon vein protection of the palace, the palace would be the safest place. At least there would be no ghosts causing trouble.
Emperor Xuande drank two cups of tea and rewarded Zhao Letong with some fine jade that he needed. It was getting late, so he had to return to the palace.
However, he did not take Xiao Shanjian with him. He wanted to wait until Zhao Letong's formation was carved before leaving. This time, he stayed in the Zhao family openly.
Zhao Letong eliminated his future troubles, and Xiao Shanjian's smile became brighter. He became closer to Emperor Xuande. The emperor's grandfather was not so unkind and had a good temper.
In the past, he always respected the emperor and was not close enough to him. Xiao Shanjian has already figured out how to correct this.
The Zhao family sent Emperor Xuande away with trepidation. The emperor did not blame them, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor was not that scary.
Life went on as usual, but Song Lian became a frequent visitor to the Zhao family. The supervisor was in seclusion, comprehending the new realm after his breakthrough, and had no time to guide him, so he came to find this new master's sister.
Zhao Letong then realized the Supervisor's cunning and scheming. He wanted to entrust all his apprentices to her to raise. What a cunning old man.
But this was not a problem for her. As a former master of cultivation, it was easy for her to give some guidance to a newbie. Song Lian made rapid progress and had even more respect for his master.
Zhao Letong procrastinated, and the emperor urged him several times before he finally finished carving the jade token. The emperor had to send Xiao Shanjian back to the palace.
Xiao Shanjian was reluctant to leave, but he also knew that he would have to return to the palace eventually.
The two children have developed a deep bond after spending several months together. Zhao Letong is reluctant to let them go, but he is an adult after all and can think it through. However, Xiao Shanjian's eyes turned red several times, and he silently held back his tears.
Is Xiaoshan crying? Poor child, being in the palace is almost like being in prison. Tsk tsk, what a pitiful little thing.
"But the food in the palace is good, so it shouldn't be that sad, right? What's so sad about him? I don't understand."
Xiao Shanjian held back his tears, "Tongtong, will you come to the palace to see me?"
"This, for sure."
[You're kidding! Why would I go to the palace if there's nothing wrong? The rules are so strict, and the people are so arrogant. Looking at the faces of those people in the palace, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat.]
Xiao Shanjian: "..."
He knows what it means to say one thing and mean another at such a young age. Tongtong is just trying to coax him.
Children still need to be coaxed. Xiaoshan is quite sensible, hardworking and studious. He is a good child.
Zhao Letong took out a stack of talisman paper and said, "Here is a sound transmission talisman. You can send a message to me. If you miss me, use this. Let's talk."
"That's great, Tongtong. Can I talk to you once a day?"
[No, this thing consumes a lot of spiritual energy. You really don't understand the hardship of cultivation if you don't practice.]
[Luckily, I have plenty of spiritual energy, so I can afford to spend it. It's just a sound transmission note, so I can use it casually.]
But he said, "No, it's very hard for me to draw a talisman. Don't use it if it's not urgent."
[Drawing ten pictures in the time it takes to finish a cup of tea, isn't that tiring? ]
