If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 42 Teaching Martial Arts
Early the next morning, Zhu Zhanqi, who got up early, cleaned his mouth and washed his face under the service of Hu Shanxiang, put on a short-seater outfit, and then came to the yard.

Because of the elixir refining yesterday, the green plants originally planted in the courtyard were drooping. This made Zhu Zhanquan couldn't help but shake his head and said: "It seems that I will have to build an alchemy room next time, otherwise my yard will be scorched sooner or later." .”

After saying that, Zhu Zhanqi glanced at Hu Shanxiang who was standing next to him. Seeing that she was wearing the same neat short clothes today, he nodded with satisfaction: "She is a sensible person. Please wait aside. My elder brother will wait for you later." Come, let me teach you together again, it will save you the trouble of teaching me twice."

"Yes, Your Highness." Although for little palace ladies like Hu Shanxiang, practicing martial arts is not something that can change their lives, but being able to practice martial arts with the emperor's grandson still makes Hu Shanxiang feel great honor and honor. joy.

After all, she was just a serving maid. It was already a great grace to be favored by Zhu Zhanchen, not to mention being able to practice martial arts with the emperor's eldest grandson.

In this era where superiority and inferiority are important, this is already a great favor, and can even be said to be transgressive.

However, Hu Shanxiang did not feel complacent because of this. Instead, he became more cautious, fearing that he would be criticized for not doing well enough.

So after Zhu Zhanchen asked her to wait, she did not really wait aside. Instead, she asked other palace maids to bring towels, spirits, silver bowls and other things, and asked Zhu Zhanchen: "Your Highness, I don't know Do you need to prepare the elixir first?"

"Let's prepare it first. For my eldest brother's share, I'll use my box first." Zhu Zhanchun didn't pay much attention to this and casually asked Hu Shanxiang to prepare it.

Hu Shanxiang got ready as instructed, while Zhu Zhanquan moved his hands and feet and threw a few punches to warm up.

When he finished the punch and took the towel handed over by Hu Shanxiang to wipe, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji came to Zhu Zhanqun's courtyard together.

"Dad, eldest brother, you guys came very slowly today. I finished all the punches in one trip." Zhu Zhanjuan looked at his fat father and eldest brother and joked at them.

Zhu Gaochi smiled and greeted Zhu Zhankun, and then said: "Dad got up late. He stayed up late the day before yesterday to write the memorial, and I watched you refining elixirs all day yesterday. I inevitably fell asleep a little heavy at night, so I got up late. "

"Dad, please pay attention to your health! Don't work too hard. If you have anything to do, let the officials in the East Palace do it. The imperial court does not raise them so that they can eat rice for free." Zhu Zhanquan heard Zhu Gaochi say this, He also quickly became concerned about his fat father, but he knew that in history, Zhu Gaochi almost died in front of Zhu Di like Prince Yiwen Zhu Biao.

"I know, I know, dad will pay attention to it in the future. Isn't this why I came to practice martial arts with you to strengthen my body?" Zhu Gaochi looked at the three-point Qianyuan Marrow Strengthening Cream that had been prepared aside, and couldn't help but curiously asked: "What? Yesterday? Did you use the elixir you prepared today? Did you prepare a copy for your father?"

At this time, Zhu Zhanji also looked curiously at the three silver bowls placed aside. He could not help but look at the silver bowls and Zhu Gaochi with some suspicion, as if he felt that Zhu Gaochi did not need to use this medicine.

But he didn't say it clearly. He just asked Zhu Zhanquan, "Second brother, can this medicine still replenish our father's health?"

"This is the medicine of tiger and wolf. Although it does have the effect of strengthening blood and muscles, it cannot be used as a tonic. I will prepare an extra copy for the little palace maid next to me. She has a good talent. I plan to train her and come back. It's easy to drive." Zhu Zhanjuan explained indifferently, and then looked at Zhu Gaochi aside: "Dad, if you also want to try the effect of this medicine, I will ask Shanxiang to prepare another one for you. But the effect of this medicine is a bit strong. Dad, your body and bones may not be able to bear it." "Forget it, I'll just practice the Tai Chi you taught me Zhanjuan. This kind of strong medicine is not suitable for me." Thinking of Zhu Zhu yesterday Zhu Gaochi also felt that he might not be able to bear the various behaviors Zhan Yun performed after taking the medicine, so he walked aside and started practicing Tai Chi on his own.

However, Zhu Zhanji didn't care at all, but asked eagerly: "Second brother, can I bear it? After I take the medicine, do I have to box like you did yesterday?"

"Well, after taking this medicine, the blood flow will accelerate throughout your body, so you must practice boxing to absorb the medicine. Of course, you can also resist without boxing, but in that case, the medicine will not be fully absorbed and will be deposited in your body. , you still have to rely on practice to bring out the power of the medicine." Zhu Zhanqi explained, and then asked Zhu Zhanji: "Brother, are you ready? If you are, please familiarize yourself with the boxing skills first. Memorize the movements before taking the medicine."

"Okay, second brother, please teach me." Zhu Zhanji hurriedly told Zhu Zhanyu that he was ready.

Zhu Zhanchun was not polite and invited him and Hu Shanxiang, who had been standing beside him, to an empty space in the yard and taught them the Spiritual Snake Wrapping Fist.

Because both of them are young, especially Hu Shanxiang, who is a woman and has a softer body, he learned the Spiritual Snake Wrapping Fist faster than Zhu Zhanji, and he soon memorized the moves under Zhu Zhanqun's teachings. .

On the other hand, Zhu Zhanji was a little slow, and some movements were not done properly. After Zhu Zhanji touched him, he had to open his ligaments.

Before Zhu Zhanji could react, Zhu Zhanqun forced his ligaments open. In the pain, he just wanted to scream loudly, but he was worried about his face and refused to scream, so his face turned red.

"Brother, you can't do this. It's better to be a girl, isn't it just to pull your hips apart? As for such an expression?" Zhu Zhanjuan saw that Zhu Zhanji was holding back, and then deliberately opened his joke.

Zhu Zhanji, who was being held down by Zhu Zhanqun, could no longer make a sound even if he wanted to scream. He could only say feebly to Zhu Zhanqun with a painful look on his face: "Second brother, you are so cruel!"

"How can I open your ligaments and joints without being cruel? But brother, you have also practiced martial arts, why are you so stiff? Are the masters who taught you martial arts lazy, or are you just having fun and not practicing properly? "As he said this, Zhu Zhanjun pressed hard again with his hand. After a click, the expression on Zhu Zhanji's face suddenly became ecstasy.

However, Zhu Zhanyun didn't really torment Zhu Zhanji. After helping him stretch the ligaments and joints, it suddenly became smoother for him to practice the movements taught by Zhu Zhanyun.

"Second brother, why is it so painful for you to practice Kung Fu?" After Zhu Zhanji finished a set of boxing techniques, he rubbed the area on his body that Zhu Zhankui had just pulled away, and screamed at him in pain.

Facing Zhu Zhanji's appearance, Zhu Zhanqi smiled and said: "How can practicing martial arts not be painful? This is not bad. I have another skill that requires breaking all the bones in the body and disassembling all the joints. Kung Fu, do you want to try it?”

With that said, he was about to step forward, but Zhu Zhanji was so frightened that he quickly waved his hand and said no.
