Martial Arts Master Travelled to Ancient Time and Farms

In the Wenhua Hall, Emperor Wei's expression softened slightly.

Obviously, he likes the sixth prince's act of acting like a spoiled child.

The sixth prince was very obedient. Seeing the change in Emperor Wei's expression, his eyes rolled and landed on Cheng Ling, and he asked, "Imperial Father, who is this? I have never seen this before."

This question asked about the pride of Emperor Wei. He was like a person who had the heart to show off his treasure. He laughed and said, "This one is my secretary! Cheng Ling, Cheng Yuzhi."

Just a face to face, Emperor Wei decided Cheng Ling's official title.

The emperor's close minister, the secretary, the secretary, the secretary, the official position from the fifth rank, is not too small, but it can be said to be a step to the sky!

For no other reason, just because the emperor likes it.

As for this position, it is said that it has great power, but it is not so big, because the secretary obviously does not have the real power to decide anything, but if the power is small, who would dare to say that the power of the emperor's close ministers is small?

Serving the emperor, sorting out state affairs, and reading books for the emperor, if there are the words "Your Majesty's Blue Eyes", its invisible power is simply infinite.

In this way, if Cheng Ling can't make actual achievements after a period of time, the hat of a jester will inevitably be buckled on her head.

But even if there are real achievements, the title of "Jester" started out, I am afraid it is difficult to take off.

But so what?

The secretary was just a step. As long as he stood higher and higher, there would always be more people standing in front of Cheng Ling who greeted her with a smile than those who scorned her.

She really couldn't take the imperial examination road, and she didn't come from a noble family, so she could only find another way.

The strong are not afraid of shortcuts. If you don’t believe it, will you look at it after thousands of years?

Not to mention thousands of years later, only to say that now, hearing that Cheng Ling is the emperor's secretary, the sixth prince bowed his hands to her and called out with a smile, "Secretary Cheng."

Of course, Cheng Ling wouldn't be overwhelmed by the Sixth Prince's politeness. When I saw him today, this Sixth Prince seemed innocent and cute, but in fact he was only afraid of 108,000 hearts, like Xiao Man's sensitive and arrogant heart. No wonder people who still have sincerity can't fight him.

Cheng Ling cupped his hands, bowed and saluted, "I have seen the Sixth Highness."

Then she looked at Emperor Wei again and was about to leave again.

But I don't know if it's because of what I said just now, or because today's timing is indeed very clever. Just when Cheng Ling was about to leave for the second time, Chang Hong came to report again.

This time, what Chang Hong reported was: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here."

The prince is here, and Xiao Man is here!

In April, Cheng Ling and Xiao Mancai said goodbye in Yongzhou. At that time, they thought it would be a difficult time to say goodbye, but how could they have expected that it was only a month before they met again in the Wei Palace? .

Xiao Man entered the capital earlier than Cheng Ling. Cheng Ling didn't know when he returned to the palace from the "Xiangguo Temple", but he only saw that the expression of the sixth prince became a little stiff at this moment.

The smile on Wei Huang's face faded slightly, but his attitude was generally mild. He said, "Prince Xuan, come in."

For some reason, Cheng Ling heard it, and felt that there was a faint sigh in the tone of Emperor Wei's words.

And at this moment, the expression of the sixth prince has been adjusted.

When Xiao Man strode into the hall, the sixth prince greeted him like a gust of wind, and shouted crisply, "Brother Prince!"

He also saluted the prince obediently and said with a smile on his face, "Please be safe, brother of the prince!"

Xiao Man's footsteps paused slightly, his gaze passed over the sixth prince, and fell on Cheng Ling who was standing beside him.

There was no obvious expression on his face at first, but the moment he saw Cheng Ling, his eyes moved slightly, as if the stars were shining brightly.

Cheng Ling's heart also jumped, but she immediately lowered her head, bowed to Xiao Man and said, "Xiaguan Cheng Ling, see His Royal Highness the Prince."

In addition to kneeling to the emperor, the officials of Wei State generally did not kneel to other princes. Of course, the prince is different from the ordinary prince. In terms of status, the prince is also a prince. If he is a cautious conservative, or is the original princeling, he may also kneel to the princeling.

Cheng Ling's bow immediately awakened Xiao Man. He first turned to the Sixth Prince's salute, helped him up, and returned the salute: "The Sixth Brother has done so much, why is it so."

He raised his hand to Cheng Ling and said, "No need to be polite, please get up."

Then Yue Chengling and the sixth prince walked up to Emperor Wei, lifted the hem of his clothes, and knelt down on his knees.

"Father, my son is late!"

Wei Huang said with a stern face: "Have you been to Xiangguo Temple again these few days?"

It turned out that although Xiaoman returned to Beijing in early May, he also went to the palace to see Emperor Wei, but after that, he did not live directly in the East Palace, but turned around and "returned" to Xiangguo Temple.

It is difficult to say whether Emperor Wei is disappointed or relieved by this kind of behavior. After all, the king's heart is unpredictable. With such a prince, who can know what the emperor thinks?

Cheng Ling didn't know about these for the time being, but listening to the conversation between Xiao Man and Emperor Wei, she could feel that the relationship between the father and son was still stiff and awkward.

It seems that Cheng Ling said to Xiao Man before returning to Beijing, asking him to treat Emperor Wei just as an ordinary father to "mour", but Xiao Man did not do it.

But this is probably no wonder Xiaoman, the ten-year-old sixth prince can act like a spoiled brat to Emperor Wei, but the eighteen-year-old Xiaoman has been separated from his father for many years.

Xiao Man knelt down in front of Emperor Wei and said: "Father, the morning bell and evening drums in the temple can always bring infinite peace to my heart. Whenever the bell rings and my son remembers when he was young, Father takes me by the arm and walks down the long steps. When the snow falls, you hold an umbrella for me..."

Xiao Man's voice was slightly cold and still, perhaps because he had been reading the Buddhist scriptures for too long, and the quietness of his tone even seemed to have the smell of Buddha's incense lingering around.

When he recalled the past so slowly, an image about the beloved son of Emperor Wei's father, like yesterday's reappearance, vividly appeared in the listener's mind.

Wei Huang was the most affected, his expression became more and more gentle, and there was gradually softness and love in his eyes looking at Xiao Man.

Cheng Ling, who was on the sidelines: ...

I'm ashamed, I underestimate Brother Xiao, where is it that you can't play emotional cards? It's so good!

Emperor Wei sighed, and he bent down to help Xiao Man himself and said: "You are in Xiangguo Temple, it's okay to nurture your temperament, but you shouldn't be too addicted to Buddhism. You are my prince, the crown prince of the country, you can't take it seriously. Cultivating Buddhism with one mind, what would it be like?"

Xiao Man got up and said: "Father, recite the scriptures and understand your heart, so that your sons and ministers can see the source. Even if you are cultivating Buddha, you are also cultivating me."

With such mysterious words, it can be seen that he really cultivated with his heart.

Wei Huang nodded, seemingly satisfied.

Xiao Man's cold and handsome face finally showed a slight smile.
