Chapter 11: Cultivating Immortality While Staying Hidden is Just Sweet!
"Father, that's really something. Why didn't you just send me to Yunnan to take up my fiefdom? Instead, you've confined me to my quarters for half a month!" Zhu Gaoxu was very unhappy.
He suddenly looked at Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui.
Second brother:! ! !
"Second brother, you should stay home and reflect on your actions. Once your confinement is lifted, I'll treat you to a feast!"
Zhu Gaochi was startled and immediately spoke.
Immediately afterwards, he turned around and ran out of the Prince of Han's mansion in fright.
"Third brother." Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at the copper pea.
Zhu Gaosui immediately panicked.
"Second brother, I have something to attend to at home, so I'll leave now." Zhu Gaosui took off running.
"This brotherhood is fucking unreliable!" Zhu Gaoxu's lips twitched.
Princess Consort of Han said, "But Your Highness, because of what you've done, His Majesty not only didn't agree to let you go to your fief, but also confined you to your quarters for half a month. What should we do?"
Zhu Gaoxu laughed and said, "Although it wasn't successful, these past two weeks have been a good opportunity for me!"
"For the next two weeks, I order everyone not to disturb me!"
"I'm going to go into seclusion and cultivate immortality!"
Princess Han was thrilled. She smiled and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, I'll take care of this."
Zhu Gaoxu kissed the Princess Consort of Han: "You truly are my beloved consort. Thank you for your hard work."
Upon hearing this, the Princess Consort of Han was overjoyed.
In the following days, Zhu Gaoxu hid in his room and did not come out. He immersed himself in the cultivation space and began to study immortal techniques.
He has now mastered the Fireball Technique, and he can begin to study the Heavenly Eye Technique, Lightness Technique, and Object Manipulation Technique.
"No, I'm only at the second level of Qi Refining. If I want to learn more of these immortal techniques, I must improve my cultivation level!"
Zhu Gaoxu absorbed spiritual energy and began to advance in his cultivation realm.
The spiritual energy within this cultivation space is extremely abundant, even surpassing that of the spiritual energy in the cultivation world.
He can use the spiritual energy here to improve his cultivation.
"However, if you want to truly improve your cultivation level and make rapid progress, you still need elixirs!" Zhu Gaoxu's eyes flashed.
Especially for those who want to enter the Foundation Establishment stage, it seems they need Foundation Establishment stage pills!
Fortunately, he now possesses a cultivation space. Once he reaches a certain level, the space should provide some medicinal herbs and refined pills!
"Forget about that for now, let's focus on improving my cultivation level. The second level of Qi Refining is a bit too low right now!"
He gently shook his head.
If a low-level cultivator in the cultivation world knew what he was thinking, he would probably vomit blood!
He had only been in the Ming Dynasty for a few days, and he was already incredibly powerful to have reached the second level of Qi Refining by relying on the spiritual energy in the cultivation space!
Zhu Gaoxu also felt that his cultivation progress was too slow.
Comparing people is infuriating!
His current confinement for half a month is indeed the best opportunity for him to cultivate immortality in seclusion.
In just half a month, his cultivation level would have advanced by leaps and bounds.
…………
Time flies, two days have passed!
Zhu Gaoxu's outburst at the Prince of Han's residence caused a great sensation!
But no one stepped forward to take the lead, and no one dared to say anything!
In any case, this is a matter for the royal family, and they, as their subjects, naturally dare not speak recklessly!
Now, the Crown Prince and the Prince of Zhao are hiding in their own residences, not daring to utter a sound!
The second son dared not defy Zhu Di!
…………
Inside Jiming Temple, Zhu Di had been cursing and swearing for days!
This gave Yao Guangxiao a huge headache!
"Your Majesty, you've been cursing me for days since you came back from the Prince of Han's residence. Aren't you annoyed? My ears are practically calloused!" Yao Guangxiao said with a headache, "Your Highness, since he wants to go to Yunnan to assume his fiefdom, isn't it just a matter of a word from you?"
"He doesn't want to control the Five Military Commands, he doesn't want to control the military, so just take it back and send him to Yunnan to assume his fiefdom, wouldn't that solve the problem?!"
Zhu Di angrily retorted, "Hmph, this brat wants to go to his fiefdom and enjoy a life of leisure, but I will not allow it!"
"Whatever his reason, he must stay in the capital!"
Yao Guangxiao smiled wryly and said, "But Your Majesty, you didn't think that way before. After Arughtai's victory in the battle, you urged him to go and take up his fief. Now that he has truly realized this, you are still not letting go!"
"Your Majesty, what are you really thinking?"
Zhu Di glared at him: "Anyway, I don't care, he can't leave the capital!"
"That kid is inherently rebellious. Even when Emperor Taizu was alive, he disliked him. Now that he's being sent back to Yunnan to take up his fief, who knows what kind of trouble he'll cause?"
"I still believe that he has ulterior motives for this enfeoffment!"
"Amitabha!"
Yao Guangxiao clasped his hands together and began chanting sutras, leaving Zhu Di still sulking.
"If I can't figure out this kid's true purpose, I certainly won't let him go to Yunnan to take up his fiefdom," Zhu Di said. "Moreover, according to reports from spies, the Tatars in the north are quite restless these days. This second son will have to put in a lot of effort for the next expedition."
Just then, Ji Gang walked over.
"Your Majesty, Grand Preceptor," he said hastily.
"Tell me, what is that bastard, the second son, doing right now?" Zhu Di asked.
Ji Gang hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, His Highness the Prince of Han has remained in his room, not even stepping out of the room."
"Huh?" This time it was Zhu Di's turn to be stunned.
"That brat hasn't even stepped out of his room?"
Ji Gang nodded and said, "The Embroidered Uniform Guard has been monitoring every move of the Prince of Han's residence. The Prince of Han has not left the residence at all; he hasn't even stepped out of his own room."
"Really?" Zhu Di's eyes flashed. "What's this kid up to?"
"this……"
Ji Gang shook his head with a wry smile.
"Send someone to keep an eye on him!" Zhu Di said calmly. "I want to see what he's up to."
"Yes!" Ji Gang nodded, and he began to send people to continue to keep an eye on the King of Han's every move.
"Old monk, can't you see it?" After a long while, Zhu Di looked at the Imperial Preceptor Yao Guangxiao.
Yao Guangxiao shook his head: "I can't see through him, and I can't see through this Prince of Han either."
"Yeah?"
Zhu Di's eyes flashed, and no one knew what he was thinking.
…………
Time flies, and six days have passed.
The Prince of Han's residence was quiet.
This troublesome Prince Han has been completely silent these past few days, which is quite intriguing.
They knew His Highness the Prince of Han's personality all too well.
He and Zhu Di had a major falling out over the matter of taking up a fief.
In the end, Zhu Di confined him to his quarters for half a month. If this had happened normally, the Prince of Han would probably have started acting recklessly and causing trouble long ago!
However, in the past few days, the Prince of Han has not only made no move, but has not even left his room.
This makes it really hard to figure out.
…………
In the courtyard of the East Palace.
"It's been six days already. Is the Prince of Han really able to keep his composure?" the Crown Princess asked.
Zhu Gaochi said, "I can't figure out this second son either. He has proposed to be enfeoffed as a prince three times, but now he has fallen out with the old man and has been confined for half a month. There is still no movement. To be honest, even I can't figure him out."
As the eldest brother, he believed he could see through the second and third brothers' little schemes.
But now it seems he can't see through this Prince of Han anymore.
