The Song Dynasty was the king for thirteen years before he knew that he was Tianlong.

Chapter 153 Shaolin, Shaolin (asking for monthly ticket)
After a while, Zhao Ti got up and went to the bathing room, and Ah Zhu just came out.

"Your Highness, please check if there is enough water?" Ah Zhu said softly.

Zhao Ti walked in and saw that the pool bucket was full. He smiled and said, "Yes, it's enough. Ask Ruyi to prepare some clothes and send them over."

Ah Zhu's eyelashes fluttered: "I will take it..."

Zhao Ti glanced at her and said, "My name is Ruyi, can you massage my back, Ah Zhu?"

Ah Zhu's cheeks flushed immediately: "I... I can learn."

Zhao Ti nodded and said, "If you are not afraid of the cold, come and get your clothes." After that, he entered the pool.

After a while, wisps of white cold air floated above the water, and it seemed as if there were two different seasons inside and outside the room.

Ah Zhu knocked on the door: "Your Highness, the clothes are ready."

Zhao Ti said, "Come in."

Ah Zhu didn't dare to open her eyes when she entered the room. She put down her clothes and groped her way forward slowly: "Your servant, your servant will massage your highness's back."

Zhao Ti closed his eyes and felt a pair of slender hands on his shoulders, slightly warm.

After a long time, the air in the room became colder and colder. Zhao Ti felt that Ah Zhu was shivering from the cold. After thinking for a while, he said, "Bring the ice silkworm here."

Ah Zhu said yes and went back to the study to get the crystal pot. Zhao Ti saw that her face was a little pale and shook his head and said, "Let's find a place to warm up."

Ah Zhu said: "But Your Highness will change clothes in a while..."

Zhao Ti said, "There's no telling when it will be. I can't freeze here like an ice sculpture. I'll just do it myself."

Ah Zhu said: "Then I will go and warm myself. What kind of martial arts did Your Highness practice to make it so cold..."

Zhao Ti smiled and said, "It is a cold skill that can freeze water into ice. If it is fully utilized, its ability to reduce cold should be no worse than that of the ice silkworm. Let's go quickly."

Ah Zhu responded and went out, closing the bathing room. Zhao Ti looked at the crystal pot. The little silkworms had already felt the coldness here, and were jumping around in the pot, chirping non-stop.

Zhao Ti opened the lid of the pot, and before he could reach out to take it, the silkworm jumped out by itself, leaping for joy and slithering around the room.

He wondered in his mind whether this thing had memories or not. Horses, donkeys, eagles and the like all had memories, but this thing was too small to have such memories. However, as an alien species, judging from its performance in Monk Hui Jing's hands, it might have some.

However, even if Bufan has memories, he has probably forgotten the past after shedding his shell and being reborn, and he probably won't hold a grudge. Otherwise, if he remembered that I sucked the cold poison out of him, he would have run away or bit me by now, and would not be so happy now.

Zhao Ti followed the little silkworm with his eyes and saw that its body was becoming whiter and whiter. The cold air in the room seemed to be less cold. He wondered if the silkworm could recover its original ability by nourishing it with cold air.

The little silkworm then came to the side of the pond, glided quickly along the edge of the pond, then chirped a few times and actually dived into the pond.

Zhao Ti used his true energy to stimulate the little silkworm, which was immediately shaken away. Then it slid to Zhao Ti's side as if in a daze, and kept chirping beside his palm.

Zhao Ti picked it up and looked at it for a while, only to find that it was too small. It was not like a carved horse that could identify emotions. He shook his head and said, "Go play somewhere else. Don't disturb me from practicing martial arts."

He threw Xiaocan away and started to practice. He was very close to the sixth level of Huanyin Qi and was afraid that he would be promoted soon. Then he would know what the illusion Gao Taotao was talking about was. After practicing Huanyin Qi, he practiced Xiaowuxiang Gong. He was already very proficient in this skill, but for some reason he always felt that it was not enough.

If all the martial arts of the Xiaoyao sect, except for the Eternal Spring Skill, were refined by Xiaoyaozi based on the Wulianghai Baolu and Shan Zi Jing, or other Shanhaiguan martial arts, and were newly created by blending the Changchun Skill, then this Xiaowuxiang Skill is obviously not the complete version.

He then practiced the Great Shift of the Universe. He was at the peak of the third level of the Great Shift of the Universe, and it would not take too long for him to advance to the fourth level.

Finally, he practiced the Sunflower Manual, which had already achieved great success in terms of realm, but he felt that his internal strength seemed to be a little lacking. After all, Li Xian was able to withstand the White Rainbow Palm force without dying even before he learned the Purple Cloud Power. So it was not the power of this quick-learning technique, but the fact that Li Xian's own internal strength was extremely strong.

The white and purple energies in Zhao Ti's body ran rapidly along his meridians. An unknown amount of time passed, and when a cycle was over, his true energy had obviously increased. His face was faintly tinged with two colors, and his whole body exuded an inexplicable, mysterious, and indescribable temperament.

He opened his eyes, his spirit was restrained, he gently opened his mouth and exhaled the scent of sandalwood, and the whole room became somewhat solemn and clean.

He stood up, put on his clothes, spread out his palms, and let his inner Qi swirle around, mixing with the cold air in the room to form a frost flower. The little silkworm immediately slid over upon seeing this, its small body bounced up and leapt into his palms.

Zhao Ti threw it into the crystal pot and walked out. At this moment, the sky was turning pale and it was already early morning.

Seven days later, Zhao Ti's vacation ended and he began to attend court. At this moment, the court was bustling and prosperous.

Various matters of the new law have been gradually implemented. The ministers are full of energy and extremely busy, cooperating with each other tacitly. At least at this early stage of everything, there has not been too much intrigue.

However, Zhao Ti knew that as everything was moving forward steadily, the benefits of the new law were being demonstrated in the court and among the people, the national strength and people's power were greatly improved, and it entered a period of prosperity, then the emergence of various contradictions was inevitable.

When a country is weak, there are weak contradictions; when a country is strong, there are strong contradictions.

Among the court officials, even loyal officials like to have a good reputation. If they want to make the country strong and the people rich and show their ambition, how can they do it without power? How can they do it without fighting for power?

Not to mention the treacherous ministers, who tend to drain the pond to catch fish when they are weak, and only want more when they are strong.

Zhao Ti didn't want to get too deeply involved in these matters at the moment. They were tedious, heavy and a waste of energy. With Zhao Xu around, how to distinguish and judge, how to balance right and wrong, it was not a matter of Zhao Xu as an official, but of him as a prince. So whether he intervened or not actually had little impact.

As the political affairs came to an end, Zhao Xu rewarded the people who were sent to the Liao Kingdom. Because of his military merits, he was given a mansion and a manor outside the city.

Almost all the others also received rewards. Su Shi received a lot of rewards, but his official position remained unchanged. However, this was considered good. Otherwise, if there had not been this diplomatic mission, he would have been demoted long ago, and in another two years, he would have gone to the ends of the earth.

After the court was dismissed, Zhao Xu summoned Zhao Ti to the imperial study to talk, but after sitting there for a long time, Zhao Xu remained silent and did not speak a word.

Zhao Ti looked at Zhao Xu's expression and saw that he had that extremely contradictory temperament again, as if several states at different times of the day were pieced together, which looked particularly fragmented and awkward.

After a full quarter of an hour or two, Zhao Xu finally sighed and said, "My dear."

Zhao Ti narrowed his eyes and said, "Sir, I am here."

Zhao Xu nodded: "I have a private matter, and I plan to ask Bage to do it."

Zhao Ti was puzzled when he heard this: "Sir, I wonder what private matter this is?"

Zhao Xu looked at him and said, "I want to ask Bage'er to go to Shaolin Temple."
