Chapter 223 What Is a Gifted Person?
After returning to Jingyang Palace, the three children couldn't help yawning.
They had spent a whole day in Qianxing Pavilion, so they were naturally exhausted.
Reading is also very exhausting. When you are engrossed in reading, you may not feel it, but as soon as you put the book down, the exhaustion will surge up.
The three children only felt a wave of sleepiness coming over them, and now they just wanted to get back into bed and have a comfortable sleep.
But thinking that they needed to wash and change clothes before going to bed, they could only hold on for a while longer.
After Zhao Feng sent them back, he said goodbye and left without staying in Jingyang Palace for long.
Li Xuan took advantage of the time to come back and quietly slept in Princess Ankang's arms for a while.
He was really too tired from flipping through the books today.
Although he had the help of talent, he could quickly record the exercises, but this process always consumed some energy.
Especially since he recorded so many exercises today, the mental consumption was even more unnecessary.
Even when Princess Ankang put him on the bed, he showed no sign of waking up. He was still sleeping soundly, and even turned over. The whole cat was lying on its back, with its round head tilted to one side and its pink tongue half sticking out.
"I'm really too tired..."
Li Xuan thought vaguely in a half-awake state.
On the other side, Princess Ankang sat at the table to rest for a while, while Yu'er went to fetch water.
Yu'er was going to wash Princess Ankang and change her clothes that she wore today, so that Princess Ankang could lie down and rest quickly.
Princess Ankang took this opportunity to look through the ten books she borrowed today.
One of them was the turtle breathing method borrowed by Li Xuan, and another was a health book borrowed by Yu'er. It seemed that she borrowed the same series as the last time.
Of the remaining eight books, Princess Ankang chose seven by herself, and the last one was recommended by Mr. Ye.
Princess Ankang is also checking the book recommended by Mr. Ye.
【A Summary of Travel Notes in the Far North Tundra】
Princess Ankang took a quick look at the book and found that the beginning was a brief introduction to the Far North Tundra, and the following content was about the adventures of some people in the Far North Tundra.
This book is a collection of travel notes of several people.
It seems that each person's travel notes are arranged in chronological order.
Princess Ankang turned directly to the last part of the content and found that the last person's travel notes should have been recorded about 20 years ago, which is a long time ago.
"Is it another book about the North?"
Princess Ankang saw this book recommended by Mr. Ye and couldn't help thinking silently in her heart.
"Does Mr. Ye simply want me to know more about the North, or does he want to tell me something?"
After receiving the recommendation of these two books in succession, Princess Ankang began to be curious about Mr. Ye's real intention.
The contents of these books are indeed what Princess Ankang wants to know very much.
But did Mr. Ye recommend it just because he saw Princess Ankang's interest?
"Your Highness, the water is here."
"Hurry up and wash, change clothes and rest."
Yu'er's voice interrupted Princess Ankang's thoughts.
"Okay, Sister Yu'er."
Princess Ankang put down the book in her hand, smiled sweetly and agreed, then obediently moved to the basin and washed herself.
Yu'er habitually wanted to help, but found that Princess Ankang could wash very cleanly by herself now.
Yu'er held a clean towel in her hand and looked at Princess Ankang who was moving smoothly.
"Unconsciously, Your Highness can do a lot of things by herself."
Yu'er couldn't help but sigh silently, still feeling that the scene in front of her was a little strange.
She was used to taking care of everything for Princess Ankang, but now she was standing there and watching, which made her very uncomfortable.
"Sister Yu'er, Sister Yu'er..."
"Towel, towel..."
Just when Yu'er was still in a daze, Princess Ankang, who had washed her face, stretched out her hand and groped around.
Drops of water kept falling on her wet little face, and she closed her eyes tightly and dared not open them.
Princess Ankang touched it randomly, and accidentally touched a soft ball, which startled Yu'er and made her scream "Ah", interrupting her daze.
"Your Highness, the towel, the towel is here."
Yu'er blushed and hurriedly stuffed the towel into Princess Ankang's hand.
Princess Ankang didn't care. After taking the towel, she wiped her face randomly a few times. After her face became dry, she dared to open her eyes again.
"Sister Yu'er, did I scare you just now?"
"Hehe——"
There was a little ill intention in Princess Ankang's smile.
Yu'er's face suddenly became redder, and she quickly pushed Princess Ankang to the side, saying:
"Your Highness should change your clothes and go to bed quickly."
"It's completely dark outside."
Yu'er didn't care what Princess Ankang said. She quickly took off the coat she had been wearing for a day and rushed her to bed.
Yu'er tucked the quilt for Princess Ankang, covering the two little ones on the bed, and said gently:
"Your Highness, go to bed early."
"Hey, good night, Sister Yu'er."
Princess Ankang and Yu'er said good night to each other, and then looked at Li Xuan who was sleeping soundly.
At this time, Li Xuan was sleeping soundly, and his enchanting sleeping posture was particularly eye-catching.
Princess Ankang and Yu'er couldn't help but stretch out their hands to scratch his little chin.
Li Xuan muttered in a daze, gently stretched out his two front paws, and accurately pressed down the two little girls' mischievous green jade fingers.
"Meow~"
Li Xuan made an incomprehensible cat cry and continued to sleep soundly.
Princess Ankang and Yu'er couldn't help but look at each other, looking at Li Xuan's cute appearance, covering their mouths and secretly holding back their laughter.
The moon is bright and the wind is clear, what a wonderful night.
…
Li Xuan slept until dawn.
When he walked out of the yard with his mouth wide open and yawning, he found that Zhao Feng had arrived and was teaching Yu'er martial arts.
"Ah Xuan, you got up late today."
"But were you tired from reading yesterday?"
Zhao Feng joked with a smile.
Li Xuan meowed casually and didn't bother to pay attention to the old man.
But when Zhao Feng mentioned reading, he remembered the business.
Li Xuan quickly cheered up, went back to the house and picked up the turtle breathing method, thinking of going to Shang Zongguan to confirm it first, so as not to borrow the wrong book.
Back in the house, they found that the books they borrowed from Qianxing Pavilion yesterday were neatly placed on the table.
Li Xuan found the turtle breathing method in it, then held it in his mouth and went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
At this time, Shang Zongguan must have finished practicing martial arts and was drinking tea and resting.
Zhao Feng and Yu'er in the courtyard were not surprised by this, and just watched Li Xuan leave in a hurry.
The harem in the morning has begun to be lively.
As summer has completely arrived, the temperature in the early morning is also very warm.
The palace maids and eunuchs have already started their day's work, busy in every corner of the palace.
Those who can drink tea leisurely like Shang Zongguan at this time are a minority among the minority.
Li Xuan came to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and saw Shang Zongguan tasting tea as expected.
"Ah Xuan, would you like to drink tea?"
Seeing Li Xuan coming, Shang Zongguan greeted him and poured him a cup of tea.
Li Xuan had no time to drink tea, and quickly brought the Turtle Breathing Method to Shang Zongguan, and then eagerly patted the three big characters on it with his paws.
"Huh?"
"Haven't you borrowed the book back?"
"Is there something you don't understand?"
Shang Zongguan flipped through the Turtle Breathing Method and nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, it is this technique."
"Don't underestimate it, but it is the key to your chance."
"The Sun Moon Yin Yang Pond I mentioned to you before is not accessible to everyone."
Shang Zongguan said as he pushed the book in front of Li Xuan.
"You should learn this turtle breathing technique well, it will be very helpful for you to go to the Sun Moon Yin Yang Pond in the future."
Seeing that Shang Zongguan confirmed that this was the right book, Li Xuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He was afraid that he had borrowed the wrong book.
It was really because this turtle breathing technique was too ordinary that he was a little suspicious.
Manager Shang seemed to have seen Li Xuan's doubts and explained:
"Ah Xuan, you must not underestimate this tortoise breathing method."
"Although the tortoise breathing method can hardly be considered a martial art, people in the world regard it more as a way to maintain health, but if you want to get enough benefits from the Sun Moon Yin Yang Pond, this method is indispensable."
"The Sun Moon Yin Yang Pond I told you about is divided into the Moon Yin Pond and the Sun Flame Pond."
"The water in these two ponds is extremely strange, and the temperature of the water will change with the changes of the sun and the moon."
"The Moon Yin Pond is the coldest on the 15th of each month, and the Sun Flame Pond is the hottest on the first day of each month."
"But there is one thing that is the same in these two ponds, that is, the deeper the place, the more benefits it can bring."
Manager Shang's words became more and more mysterious, and Li Xuan couldn't help but wonder whether the Sun Moon Yin Yang Pond was naturally generated or artificially created by the royal family.
"So, Ah Xuan."
"If you want to enter the Sun Moon Yin Yang Pond to practice, you must not only choose a good day, but also dive deep."
"This turtle breathing method can help you solve the problem of diving."
"If you practice seriously recently, it will definitely benefit you."
Hearing this, Li Xuan already understood why Shang Zongguan asked him to borrow this book from Qianxing Pavilion.
He looked at the turtle breathing method in front of him, but he didn't feel any pressure.
Anyway, when he learned this method yesterday, it was still very fast.
Li Xuan now has experience. Generally, the more difficult the method is to practice, the longer it takes him to record.
The easier it is to record, the easier it is to practice.
Thinking about this, Li Xuan closed his eyes and recalled the tricks of the Turtle Breathing Method, and slowly controlled his breathing.
The Turtle Breathing Method is not difficult to practice, either breathing or holding your breath.
Li Xuan controlled his breathing and gradually slowed down.
Manager Shang also noticed the changes in Li Xuan's breathing and knew that he was trying to practice the Turtle Breathing Method.
Manager Shang immediately put down the teacup in his hand and carefully observed Li Xuan's every move.
Although he knew that Li Xuan could learn the human race's skills, he had not seen his practice process with his own eyes.
Although the Turtle Breathing Method is just a simple method, he is quite interested in Li Xuan's learning process.
Unconsciously, Li Xuan's breathing intervals became longer and longer.
Slowly, he became more and more insensitive to the surrounding environment and the passage of time.
All of Li Xuan's mind was focused on his breathing.
It seemed that there was nothing else in this world except the breathing between the mouth and nose.
What Li Xuan didn't know was that his performance at this time had already shocked Shang Zongguan.
"You entered the state of concentration so quickly?"
"Is it because the beastmen are simple-minded?"
Shang Zongguan frowned subconsciously and observed Li Xuan's every move.
But Li Xuan didn't make any other movements except breathing.
The continuous breathing made Shang Zongguan understand that Li Xuan had mastered the turtle breathing method.
"Didn't you borrow this book yesterday!?"
