Chapter 26: breathe

Views:

"The way of husband and wife?" The first thing that came to Han Ruzi's mind was "the way of benevolence and righteousness" that Luo Huanzhang had been talking about. He thought it was another classic that the emperor must learn. "

Tong Qing'e smiled and nodded, "It's another kind of master. Your Majesty is about to get married, and the slaves will teach His Majesty how to... be a husband and wife."

Han Ruzi felt that this palace maid was not like an ordinary master. After thinking for a while, he finally realized, "Oh, the way of husband and wife, I understand."

"It's good that Your Majesty understands, then..." Tong Qing'e also breathed a sigh of relief.

"'A fair lady, a gentleman is a good man.' A lady should match a gentleman, righteousness is in the virtuous, not lustful... The way of husband and wife is the virtue of a concubine as taught by Master Guo."

Tong Qing'e was stunned for a moment, so she had to walk in front of the emperor and said with a blushing face: "The minister is just talking, slaves... slaves... teach by body."

This time, Han Ruzi really understood the intention of the palace maid, and took two steps back vigilantly, remembering the reminder that Yang Feng once made: the queen mother hopes that the emperor can give birth to a prince as soon as possible, as a puppet that is better manipulated.

"Oh, so you are more powerful than Master Guo, who did you learn from?" Han Ruzi began to pretend to be confused, with a smile on his face, he walked to the chair and sat down.

Tong Qing'e misunderstood the emperor's words, and hurriedly said: "It was the elder Gong E who taught the slaves and slaves. The slaves have never... never tried it with others. Your Majesty... is the first."

"This is not good, the old masters are all well-educated, and there are no one thousand or eight hundred disciples. You have never taught one, how can you teach me? Let's forget it."

"How can this kind of thing teach too many people? The way of husband and wife is in line with the principles of nature. Your Majesty will understand it after trying it." Tong Qing'e was forced to do nothing and walked slowly towards the emperor without being shy.

Han Ruzi yawned, "I'm sleepy, even if I want to teach, I'll wait until tomorrow."

"The way of husband and wife...it's easy to learn when you're sleeping." Tong Qing'e sat next to the emperor and grabbed his hand.

Han Ruzi jumped to his feet and ran to the side of the big bed. He became more and more vigilant. Once he gave birth to the prince, he would lose his value as a puppet. This palace maid is so rude, I have already said that I don't want to learn... Don't come here again, otherwise... I'll call someone, Liang An and Zhang Youcai are outside."

The emperor felt that she was being persecuted, and Tong Qing'e couldn't help herself. She got up and said with a smile: "they are both very sensible and won't come in to disturb Your Majesty. Your Majesty doesn't need to be nervous, it's okay to try it. If Your Majesty doesn't like it, don't try it again in the future. ."

Han Ruzi sighed and said loudly, "I don't like it now, and you can't force me. Don't come here, I order you to stop."

No one obeyed the emperor's orders at first, and now it's even more ineffective. Tong Qing'e walked to the table with a smile and blew out the candle, "Does your majesty feel better?"

Han Ruzi didn't feel good at all. There was only one thought in his heart. He must not fall for the trick, and he must not give birth to a prince. He regretted not learning martial arts from the Meng E brothers and sisters. Otherwise, he would not have been so embarrassed and forced by a palace maid. There is nowhere to run.

"Come here again, my name is Donghai Wang." Han Ruzi really had nothing to do, knowing that Donghai Wang would never mind his own business, he still regarded him as a savior.

It was very dark in the room, and there was no sound on the other side. Tong Qing'e didn't seem to come any closer. Han Ruzi waited for a while, and then heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that Tong Qing'e was probably acting on the order of the Queen Mother and had no other choice, so she said, "Why don't we do this? Well, tomorrow if you tell the queen mother, just say... Just say you have taught me how to be a husband and wife. When someone asks, I say the same thing. As long as the two of us are tight-lipped and others can't see the flaws, you will not be punished. Well, how's it going?"

Han Ruzi didn't know how big the loophole was in this plan, and thought it was the best way, waiting for Tong Qing'e to agree, but there was still no sound from the other side, and Tong Qing'e seemed to disappear with the candlelight.

"Hey, are you still there?" Han Ruzi asked softly, after listening for a while, he said to himself, "Did you go to bed?"

As soon as he finished speaking, an arm stretched out in the dark. Han Ruzi seemed to have been stung by a bee. He jumped up, took a few steps back, bumped into the bed, and fell on the bed. At this point, he could only gamble. , shouting loudly: "East..."

The hand followed quickly, and pointed a finger on his chest. Han Ruzi only felt a suffocation in his body, and he was speechless. you?"

"Well, it's me." This was Meng E's cold voice.

Han Ruzi was very happy, "Fortunately, you came, it really saved my life."

"No one wants to kill you."

"You don't understand, the queen mother wants a baby prince. Once I do it, she will get rid of me!"

"Don't tell me this." There was a hint of disgust in Meng E's tone.

"Oh, you don't want to listen to the Queen Mother's bad words, well, I won't say it. What did you do to Tong Qing'e?" Han Ruzi didn't understand what Meng E hated.

"I let her go to sleep and won't wake up until tomorrow morning."

"how did you do it?"

"A little trick on the rivers and lakes."

"Can you teach me?"

"You can't learn now, and it's useless to learn."

Han Ruzi really felt that this trick was very useful, but Meng E didn't want to teach it, so he no longer insisted, "Then you can come every night in the future and let Tong Qing'e go to bed earlier."

"No, I can't get close to the Cining Palace until I'm on duty, and I always let her sleep like this, which will cause suspicion sooner or later."

Han Ruzi was greatly disappointed, "Then teach me martial arts so I can protect myself."

"Do you really want to learn?"

"I want to learn." Han Ruzi originally felt that martial arts were of little use, but Meng Che's skills were very good. According to him, he could at most compete against five well-trained soldiers on the battlefield, and be able to compete with those who command thousands of troops. Generals can't compare. Through this night's experience, Han Ruzi changed his opinion. If he wants to control ten steps, he must start within ten steps. The way taught by Yang Feng and Luo Huanzhang is only useful for the real emperor. For him now, It's just on paper.

The emperor agreed so succinctly, but Meng E was silent. After a while, she said, "You know, this means that you owe me a repayment. When I speak in the future, you must agree."

"You can bring it up now."

"No, it's useless to bring it up now. Let's talk about it when you really have power, but I can guarantee that it's not a particularly difficult matter, and it's definitely within the emperor's ability."

Han Ruzi gradually calmed down and could think normally again, "You brothers and sisters help the Queen Mother for the same reward, right? But the Queen Mother already holds the power—does she refuse to give you back?"

"Don't guess, I won't give you an answer. Also, it's my own idea to come to you, my brother doesn't know it, don't reveal it in front of him."

"it is good."

Meng E was silent for a while. Just when Han Ruzi thought she was gone, Meng E said, "The internal skills of my sect are more complicated, and I need to cultivate both inside and outside..."

"What faction are you?" Han Ruzi asked.

"Don't ask questions, just practice according to the method I taught you."

This is a strict teacher, even more than Luo Huanzhang, Han Ruzi gave a heavy hum.

"Your situation is rather special, and you can't practice the exercises in a big way. There is a simplified exercise that is just right for you."

"Aren't the simplified exercises weaker?" Han Ruzi couldn't hold back and asked another question.

"Whether it is strong or weak depends on your understanding and efforts. Do you have to learn the strongest exercises?"

Han Ruzi wanted to learn martial arts just to have a little self-protection ability when necessary, and he really didn't need to be too strong, so he said: "You are right, let's continue."

"I don't have much time. I'll teach you a little bit of introductory skills today. It's very easy, as long as you can persevere."

"I can hold on."

"Okay, I'll teach you how to breathe first."

"Breathe? Everyone can."

"If you want to learn my exercises, don't ask questions."

"Okay, you say."

"Everyone can breathe, but it's natural breathing. There are two ways to practice internal energy: reverse the law first, and then follow the law after finding the meridians. You try to inhale when you close your belly, and exhale when you expand your belly."

This is the exact opposite of normal breathing, but it is not difficult. Han Ruzi did it after two tries, and said with a smile, "This is really easy."

"The difficulty lies in perseverance. In the future, you should practice when you walk, practice when you sit, and practice when you sleep."

"Sleep?" Han Ruzi became vigilant, and suddenly thought that Meng E was also a woman, not much older than Tong Qing'e, and she was still the Queen Mother's subordinate. To say that she had ulterior motives, Meng E was even more suspicious.

In the dark, a slap slapped the emperor on the head, "Don't think wildly, concentrate on practicing."

Han Ruzi retracted his suspicions and tried a few more times, "I learned it, how long does it take to practice every day?"

"The longer the better, but don't force it."

"Okay, let's continue teaching."

"It's here today."

"That's it?" Han Ruzi was disappointed.

"Cultivation of internal skills should be done step by step and accumulated over time. After you have made progress in a few days, I will teach you the next stage of the practice."

"Row."

"Also, you need to find a way to let my brother teach you Hundred Step Boxing. It's better to practice both inside and outside."

"Isn't Baibuquan a very common boxing technique?" Han Ruzi couldn't help but ask a question. He still remembered that the servant Zhang Yanghao used Baibuquan.

"I can't teach you the martial arts of my own sect. You will use it after you learn it. Those who know how to do it can recognize the details at a glance, especially my brother. Although Hundred Steps Boxing is common, it is enough for external cultivation. One thing to remember, no matter what others say, you should try your best to stick to the reverse breathing method when you practice boxing."

"I remember." Han Ruzi waited for a while, and found that there was no sound from the other side, and Meng E had already left.

"I don't know how long it will take to train. What will I do tomorrow night?" Han Ruzi sat on the bed blankly. Yang Feng was not in the capital, and Meng E couldn't come over at any time. The monster is staring at him.
