Chu Minghou smiled and said, "Father is indeed wise."
Huang Cheng smiled and said, "His Majesty also told the Fourth Grandson to be careful and not to make any mistakes." Chu Zhiyuan solemnly cupped his fist: "Understood."
He understood the emperor's meaning, which was not to open a private door and disrupt the rules of the Martial Arts Academy set by the court. This was also in line with his intentions.
Helping privately would be equivalent to favoritism. Once this precedent was set, there would be endless troubles. Complaints would arise from those who were close and those who were distant.
After Huang Cheng left, Chu Zhiyuan and the others congratulated Bai Ning霜. The emperor's reward was indeed hitting the spot.
Bai Ning霜 received a manor, which was not just about the manor itself, but about imperial favor. It was very clear that the current Qing Manor was gaining imperial favor.
She could also stand tall in the palace, and she would have the confidence to face the various consorts, and naturally she would have the confidence to refuse. Bai Ning霜 came from the Bai Earl Manor, which was once a famous family, but now it has declined.
With the emperor's reward, the momentum would be different.
Although a married daughter is like water spilled, how could Bai Ning霜 not care about the Earl Manor? Giving the Earl Manor a reward was equivalent to giving her a reward.
Bai Ning霜 couldn't help but smile.
"Eunuch Huang, I'm going to Yao Yue Palace in a couple of days."
"This servant understands," Huang Cheng smiled: "I will follow the Heir with Mr. Qi." Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "Thank you for your trouble."
Huang Cheng said: "Times are different now. When the Heir leaves the city, he must be accompanied by two Grand Masters. This servant will also go out to get some air." Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "The Tianlong Divine Horse is too fast, it must be hard on Eunuch Huang."
If it was a normal outing, their following would indeed be for leisure, but if he rode the Tianlong Divine Horse, it would be different. The speed of the Tianlong Divine Horse was beyond imagination, and even Grand Masters had to exert their full strength to keep up.
Huang Cheng chuckled: "It's good to stretch my muscles, the Heir doesn't need to worry about this servant." "Alright, it's settled then," Chu Zhiyuan smiled.
After Huang Cheng left, Chu Yi exclaimed: "Brother, you are amazing now. Royal Grandfather has rewarded you again and again... Hehe, will it be my turn next time?
"You..." Chu Zhiyuan sized her up and smiled, "Then just wait."
Chu Yi smiled: "What will Royal Grandfather reward me with? Will he raise my rank?
She ran back to the front hall, took Li Suyue's hand, and analyzed and guessed what the emperor would reward her with next. Chu Zhiyuan smiled and didn't refute.
Both parents have been rewarded, so wouldn't it be her sister's turn next?
Qing Manor is different from other royal manors. There are no side consorts and no illegitimate children. There are only two of them. After thirty years of seclusion, their relationship is naturally close, and rewarding her is equivalent to rewarding himself.
In the following days, Qing Manor became lively.
Not only the various royal manors and Duke, Earl, and Marquis manors, but also the top experts from the major martial arts sects came to visit. Chu Zhiyuan refused to see anyone, and Chu Minghou was responsible for receiving them.
Chu Minghou became busy, and Qing Manor became a hot commodity.
Chu Zhiyuan, however, ignored these things and continued at his previous pace. In the morning, he went to the Mingwu Hall, and then went to the Ministry of Rites to sit in court.
He would return to the manor for lunch at noon.
In the afternoon, he would either stay in the manor to cultivate, or go to the Surveillance Division to check various news.
He ignored people's visits and had Feng Xi and Zou Fang block them all.
This serious and impartial attitude would not anger them, and besides, he was the heir. Even if they were angry, they wouldn't dare to do anything. Chu Zhiyuan didn't return to Qing Manor for lunch this day, but instead took Gao Lingfeng to Mingyue Tower.
Qing Manor was too lively now, and there was a rascal who insisted on eating at the manor.
It was Bai Ning霜's younger brother, Bai Ninyu, from the Bai Earl Manor. He was also considered his uncle.
Bai Ninyu, as the current Earl, had not had his peerage reduced because he had military merits. However, due to the influence of Qing Manor, his life had been quite difficult in recent years.
If it weren't for his great military achievements when he was young and a group of friends in the army, many of whom held high positions, his life would have been even more difficult. Over the years, he had not been able to stay in the capital and had been stationed outside.
He had just returned to the capital a few days ago.
This was after Qing Manor regained imperial favor. So imperial favor was extremely important.
The officials of the six ministries of the imperial court were all opportunistic.
"Even if you're my own brother, you can't delay my meal!" Bai Ning霜 said unhappily: "Speak if you have something to say!" Bai Ninyu looked at Chu Minghou: "Brother-in-law, control Eldest Sister."
Chu Minghou smiled and said, "Alright, say what you have to say quickly. Yuan'er won't be back for lunch today." "Oh, is he avoiding me, his uncle?" Bai Ninyu said.
"It's good that you understand!" Bai Ning霜 said unhappily: "Yuan'er can see through your little thoughts at a glance."
"Yuan'er is amazing now!" Bai Ninyu sighed: "I always thought his martial arts aptitude was great, but now I see, it's not just good aptitude, it's heavenly!" "Shut up," Bai Ning霜 said unhappily: "Go back and eat your meal, mind your own business!"
Bai Ninyu immediately showed an embarrassed smile: "Hehe, I'm not minding other people's business today, it's my own manor's business." "What's going on in your manor?" Bai Ning霜 frowned: "Feng'er and Fang girl haven't reached the Innate Realm, have they?
"I have two old subordinates..."
"Stop!" Bai Ning霜 immediately waved her jade hand and said unhappily: "You have too many old subordinates, stop mentioning them to me!" She knew that her younger brother was bold and unrestrained, and he was like a fish in water in the army, making too many friends.
And not just in the army, he had friends from all walks of life in Jade Capital City, with a wide range of acquaintances.
Over the years, thanks to the help of these friends, the Earl Manor had not completely declined, and even though he had been stationed outside the capital, there had been no trouble. But one thing is one thing.
This matter cannot be opened up.
Bai Ninyu chuckled: "Eldest Sister, you've misunderstood."
Bai Ning霜 glanced at him and snorted: "Don't I understand you? I'm telling you, there's no way!"
"Eldest Sister, you've really misunderstood," Bai Ninyu said triumphantly: "My two old subordinates are elites, they're good hands. How about letting them be guards in your manor?
"Guards?" Bai Ning霜 was stunned and thought of his wishful thinking, and snorted: "Are they at the Innate Perfection Realm?" "That's right."
"Get lost!"
"Eldest Sister—!" Bai Ninyu hurriedly said: "They are really good hands, they are from the Eagle Yang Camp. Is the threshold of your manor too high? You don't even want good hands from the Eagle Yang Camp?
"How old are they?" "Both thirty."
"Thirty years old, Innate Perfection, limited aptitude."
"Eldest Sister, thirty years old and Innate Perfection is still poor aptitude? You've had your eyes raised by Yuan'er. Go outside and take a look, thirty years old and Innate Perfection are all martial arts geniuses!" "I've seen too many martial arts geniuses, they're all Grandmasters at thirty."
"There aren't many such geniuses," Bai Ning霜 protested: "You can count them on your fingers in the entire Jade Capital!"
