royal palace.
"Okay, okay, Yuan'er is truly worthy of being the dragon of my Zhou family!"
Before the dinner table, Zhou Qing's face was flushed, and his solemn face was full of joy that could not be concealed. He looked at Zhou Yuan with a smile and said with a smile: "You don't know that Chu Tianyang came here specially. The palace, you have been praised very well in front of me."
Obviously, he also knew about Zhou Yuan's performance in the Great Zhou Mansion exam today.
Qin Yu on the side also looked at Zhou Yuan with joy on her face, her eyes filled with relief.
While eating his meal, Zhou Yuan just smiled when faced with Zhou Qing and Qin Yu's praise and said, "It's just a big exam. The most important thing is the government exam at the end of the year."
Zhou Qing also nodded when he heard this, and said happily: "Don't be arrogant when you win. The hardships you have endured all these years are not in vain."
"As for the government examination at the end of the year, it is indeed very important."
Zhou Qing said slowly: "Prince Qi's Mansion has coveted the Great Zhou Mansion and has been secretly planning for a long time. If they win the first place in the Mansion Examination at the end of the year, I'm afraid they will start to attack."
A cold light flashed across Zhou Qing's eyes, and he obviously hated the Qi Prince's Mansion extremely.
"But Qi Yue has now opened six meridians, and will obviously be even stronger in the end of the year examination. Yuan'er started later than him..." Qin Yu looked at Zhou Yuan with some distress and said hesitantly.
To make up for the gap, Zhou Yuan obviously had to make great efforts.
Zhou Yuan's expression was quite calm, he just smiled at Qin Yu and said: "Father, Queen and Queen, please rest assured, I will not let them succeed."
In the past, because he was unable to open his meridians, he could only hide under his father's wings, but now that he can open his meridians and practice, he will naturally do his best to share some of the pressure for his father.
Because he knew very well how precarious their situation in Dazhou was now.
Seeing Zhou Yuan's sensible appearance, Zhou Qing and Qin Yu were also pleased, but they felt more distressed and self-blame. If they could have discovered King Wu's conspiracy earlier, they would not have put Zhou in this situation. At the same time, Zhou Yuan does not have to bear a lot of pressure at this age.
Zhou Yuan was also aware of Zhou Qing and Qin Yu's somewhat depressed mood, and immediately changed the subject and said, "I was able to win this big exam because of Sister Yaoyao's guidance."
On the other side, Yaoyao, who was just holding Tuntun and eating quietly, heard this and glanced at Zhou Yuan lightly, as if she was dissatisfied that he brought the topic to her.
Hearing this, Zhou Qing nodded and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Miss Yaoyao is indeed our noble lady. Come on, let me toast you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yu looked over with dissatisfaction. In her opinion, Yaoyao was just an underage girl. Zhou Qing's actions were simply leading a bad child.
But before she could say anything, Yaoyao, who had been silent at first, her bright eyes brightened slightly, she picked up the wine glass in her jade hand and drank it all in one gulp, showing her extraordinary boldness.
Zhou Qing was stunned for a moment, then looked at Qin Yu's dissatisfied eyes, smiled awkwardly, and quickly drank all the wine in the glass, but he didn't dare to mention the toast again.
…
Prince Qi's Mansion.
In a study room, a flint was burning in an oil lamp, and a dim yellow light spread out.
Behind the desk, a middle-aged man in a yellow robe sat upright. He looked through the books, his face was indifferent, and there was a serious air between his brows. There was a vague sense of oppression emanating from it, which made people feel uncomfortable. Don't dare to look down upon it.
In front of his desk, Qi Yue stood with his hands hanging down, his face respectful.
"You mean, that useless Highness is now able to open his veins and practice?" After a long moment of silence, the middle-aged man in yellow robe finally looked away from the book and said calmly.
"Yes, father, he defeated Lin Feng with four meridians with the strength of opening two meridians." Qi Yue responded immediately.
This middle-aged man in yellow robe is suddenly the King of Qi of Great Zhou Dynasty, Qi Yuan.
King Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, as fierce as a poisonous snake, and said slowly: "As expected of a person who once had the luck of the Holy Dragon, he can still get up after being ruined like this. His life is very tough."
Qi Yue's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said: "Father, do you want to pass the news to the Wu Dynasty?"
King Qi pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said: "The Wu Dynasty is currently fighting with the two neighboring dynasties. How can it care about a great Zhou who is waiting to die? As for the deposed Highness, his destiny as a holy dragon has been abolished, and even more... He was poisoned by the Resentful Dragon due to the backlash of luck, and it’s not that easy to recover. Now it’s impossible to say that he’s just coming back to his former glory.”
Qi Yue nodded slightly when he heard this. Zhou Yuan was crippled so hard back then that it was really not easy to get up.
"Moreover, even if he can really get up, am I, Qi Yuan, still afraid of a young boy?" Qi Yuan sneered and said, "I have been preparing for many years, but now even Zhou Qing doesn't dare to do anything to me, and he just opened it Can a boy with two backgrounds change the overall situation?"
"If even a deposed Highness wants to inform Da Wu, it will make them look down upon us. Even if we make great plans in the future, I am afraid they will pick the peach."
Qi Yuan threw the book in his hand on the table and said: "As long as I get the first place in the second courtyard examination at the end of the year, the Great Zhou Palace will be in my hands. This is the most important thing."
"So, you must get the first place in the government examination at the end of the year."
Seeing that Qi Yuan could tell, Qi Yue nodded without hesitation and said confidently: "Father, don't worry, in the imperial examination at the end of the year, no one in this great Zhou family can compete with me."
"As for Zhou Yuan, if he doesn't know what's going on, I will cripple him again when the time comes to see if he can continue to get up!"
Speaking of this, a ferocious smile appeared on the corner of Qi Yue's mouth.
…
The next day.
In the early morning, Zhou Yuan continued to practice the ninety-eight postures of Dragon Forging without interruption, and then completed all the daily Chongmai.
After doing this, he just cleaned himself, left the palace, and went straight to the Zhou Mansion.
Now that he has entered Hospital A, he can no longer miss classes as often as before.
Dazhou Mansion, Courtyard A.
In the spacious academy, dozens of figures gathered, making it extremely lively.
When Zhou Yuan, Su Youwei and another new student entered, dozens of eyes from the academy were cast towards them, full of curiosity and expectation.
After receiving such attention, Zhou Yuan and the others were stunned.
When they were stunned, two figures came over from the academy, a man and a woman. The young man was strong, with dark skin, and a slightly rough face with a smile, which made him look a bit honest.
The girl is quite pretty, although not as good as Su Youwei, but her pair of slender breasts is also quite eye-catching.
"Haha, welcome you three, I am the head of Court A, Yang Zai." The dark-skinned and honest young man smiled at Zhou Yuan and the others and said.
"I am Song Qiushui." The pretty girl also winked at the three of them and said with a smile: "Yesterday I knew that His Highness Zhou Yuan had chosen the First Academy. Today we are all waiting."
She looked at Su Youwei on the other side with her beautiful eyes, pursed her lips and smiled: "Of course, these guys are more looking forward to the most beautiful woman in our Da Zhou Mansion."
Hearing her teasing, Su Youwei's fair cheeks were slightly red, and her beautiful appearance made many young people in the academy have their eyes straightened.
Yang Zai also smiled, looked at Zhou Yuan and said: "His Royal Highness Zhou Yuan's performance in the college entrance examination yesterday has now spread throughout the Great Zhou Mansion. Having you join the First Academy will surely make our First Academy's momentum a lot stronger."
Zhou Yuan cupped his hands and said with a smile: "There is no such thing as Your Highness here, just call me Zhou Yuan."
Yang Zai was stunned for a moment when he saw how peaceful Zhou Yuan was. Then he nodded with a smile and said, "Since His Highness said so, I won't be polite."
Everyone introduced each other and soon got to know all the students in Hospital A. These old students in Hospital A were all young people with kind hearts and enthusiasm, so they didn't show any prestige. After getting to know each other, they quickly got to know each other. Became familiar with each other.
Only then did Zhou Yuan realize that Yang Zai was the number one person in Academy A, so being named the head of Academy A was due to his ability to open the five meridians, while Song Qiu Shui was slightly weaker, but had also opened the five meridians.
This kind of strength is indeed inferior to Qi Yue. No wonder Chu Tianyang is always worried about the government examination at the end of the year.
As everyone got acquainted, Chu Tianyang also walked into the church. With a slight cough, many noisy boys and girls suddenly fell silent and said respectfully: "I've met the dean."
Chu Tianyang nodded and said: "From today on, there will be three more people in our first hospital. You should already know them, right?"
All the boys and girls responded.
"Okay, starting from today, your training will be doubled." Chu Tianyang put his hands behind his back and said calmly.
As soon as this statement came out, there was an outcry.
Chu Tianyang snorted coldly, suppressed many voices, and shouted: "The imperial examination is not far away at the end of the year. If you don't practice diligently until the end of the year, if none of you can reach the six meridians by the end of the year, you will not be qualified to compete with others. When the A hospital becomes the B hospital, let’s see what face you will have in the future?!”
Hearing the scolding, many boys and girls looked ashamed and quickly lowered their heads. The strongest Yang Zai and Song Qiu Shui also smiled bitterly. The Second Academy was now strong, and they tried their best to catch up, but Qi Yue was really powerful. Always press them hard.
Seeing that everyone was afraid to speak, Chu Tianyang's expression gradually softened and he said: "Get ready, the Yuling Waterfall will open today, don't delay."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of many boys and girls in the academy suddenly became bright, and their faces were full of eagerness.
"Yuling Waterfall..."
When Zhou Yuan heard this, his heart moved slightly, and there was a hint of interest and curiosity in his eyes.
He had long heard his father say that there was a treasure land for cultivation in the Great Zhou Mansion, and that treasure land was exactly what Chu Tianyang called the "Jade Spirit Waterfall".
At the same time, this was one of the main reasons why Zhou Yuan was unwilling to miss classes after entering the first hospital.
