"Of course I can think of it, and other people will naturally think of it. Father's way of doing this is a bit strange, and it seems to be testing the eldest prince." Qi Fugui said again after changing his voice.

Zhou An poured himself another cup of tea from the teapot, "Then how is the emperor's body now?"

Qi Fugui shook his head and said: "There is no definite news. I haven't really met my father since I came to the imperial capital. I'm afraid the only one I have seen is my second brother."

"But my second brother hasn't been out since then, and he hasn't seen anyone."

Zhou An asked, "Are there any other princes who might inherit the throne?"

Qi Fugui thought for a while and said: "If you really want to tell the truth, all the princes are possible. After all, a large part of the choice is in the hands of the father."

"However, if we really want to talk about the Nine Kings, King Jing'an, it is possible. He has both civil and military skills since he was a child, and is extremely intelligent. He is deeply loved by the emperor."

"It's just that he is too young and not as well-established as the elder brother and the second brother. I am afraid that there are not many people in the government and the army who support him."

Zhou An and Qi Fugui talked for a long time in the room at night, and then held a big banquet at the mansion, there were hundreds of people, many dignitaries in the imperial capital.

This time, there are 4 people selected to represent Qingzhou to participate in the competition for immortals, including Zhou An, but except for Zhou An, the other three are Nascent Souls.

From this point of view, Qingzhou is indeed a remote and weak place, and it cannot be changed by a prince. According to the conversations of other people at the banquet, other people who participated in the Immortal Contest have at least two monks in the stage of transformation, In places like Hezhou, where cultivating immortals is a common practice, all the monks who came to participate were in the stage of transforming gods.

And Hezhou is also the territory of the second king, King Zhenbei, and the location of Wangtianzong is also Hezhou.

The atmosphere at the banquet was quite lively, and I felt that with Zhou An in Qingzhou this time, at least he didn't need to be ranked last.

After eating and drinking enough, Zhou An left the banquet. There was not much difference between his presence and absence, and he didn't like this environment very much.

Even at night, the entire imperial city is transparently lit, with white lights floating in mid-air, which will last until dawn.

This is a spiritual lamp, formed by spiritual energy, which will circulate continuously in the upper and lower parts of the imperial city.

The imperial city itself is a closed space, and the aura in it is more intense than outside. It is also a place where immortals and mortals combine, and it is divided into many areas.

Standing on the street in some areas, you can see many monks at a glance, while some areas are almost all mortals.

This is probably like a poor area and a rich area. Different people will form different groups over time. Although they all look like people, there is still a big difference in essence.

Zhou An also walked along the road alone, admiring the scenery of the imperial city, which was completely different from Wu'an City in terms of humanities.

Even if you are a mortal here, you will have some extravagance on your body, and you will be more particular about your clothes.

Aristocrats are generally recognizable at a glance as nobles. They wear gorgeous costumes such as brocade gowns and embroidered gowns. There are often symbols that symbolize the family on their bodies. Their faces will unconsciously show arrogance, and they look at people with their nostrils.

Such people generally walk in the middle of the sidewalk.

In addition, those who can walk in the middle are the monks, the upper-class scholars, and their clothes are dignified and elegant, even plain.

After walking a certain distance, Zhou An was taken aback, and saw a figure also standing in front of him looking at him, it was Yueli.

Zhou An knew that it was impossible to meet by chance, after all, the imperial city was so big, so he stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter?"

Yueli pretended to be a little angry: "Could it be that I can't find you if I have nothing to do?"

Zhou An smiled: "I thought you would be very busy."

Yueli held a bunch of candied haws in his left hand, had already eaten two, and waved in front of Zhou An: "Really?"

Zhou An took the candied haws in his hand and took a bite. It tasted sweet first, then sour, and finally sweet aftertaste. "It tastes good, but a little sour."

Yue Li shook his head and said, "Isn't sweet and sour delicious?"

Zhou An handed the candied haws back, and said with a smile, "I like sweets. Simple sweets, mixed with other flavors, don't feel right."

Yue Li looked back, the fire light gradually became less bright, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Zhou An shrugged and said, "Just stroll around."

"That's fine, I'll accompany you." Yue Li said.

The two walked straight along the street, looking aimless. When they reached the border of the area, they were under the jurisdiction of soldiers. Seeing that they were both monks, they did not stop them.

"Is this the area where mortals live?" Yue Li looked around curiously. He had been to the imperial city before, but he had never been here.

In this area, there are no spiritual lamps, but lanterns are lit. There are not many people passing by on the street, and the light is also dim.

Zhou An looked up to the sky and said, "The popularity here is indeed more prosperous, and the mortals are more dense here."

Yueli asked strangely, "Can you see popularity?"

Sword cultivators generally cannot see these things, and only monks who are proficient in divination, stargazing, and qi gazing can see all kinds of luck.

And such monks often do not have too high combat effectiveness, far inferior to sword cultivators, but in fact this is the orthodoxy of immortal cultivators, and they follow the trend of the sky.

It's just that the way of heaven is not good today, so monks like sword repair who go against the sky have higher achievements.

"I can see it." Zhou An said calmly, "Probably because my inspiration is extremely keen."

It is always balanced. If you lose something, you will gain something. Zhou An's body gradually decays, but his perception becomes more and more acute. Without practicing the corresponding Taoism, he can see the invisible luck, and it is quite Clear, methodical veins in his eyes.

Among all the huge popularity, he saw a different, more robust, entwined with pale white silk thread, and had some connection with him.

Zhou An took Yueli and walked straight in that direction, the surrounding lights gradually dimmed, and the houses became smaller.

At the gate of a dilapidated courtyard, a scholar was sitting under a big tree with a book and studying hard, with a dimly lit oil lamp beside him.

Zhou An knew this person, it turned out to be Xu Chang, he was the first person he met after he came to the inland, a scholar who was about to rush for the exam, he did not expect them to meet in the imperial city.

Feeling someone approaching, Xu Chang put down the book in his hand, looked up, UU reading www.uukanshu. com was taken aback for a moment, then saw Zhou An's face clearly, showing a surprised look, "Islander Zhou?"

Zhou An smiled and walked up to say hello: "Xu Chang, I didn't expect that we would meet here."

Xu Chang stood up and said excitedly, "Back then, the head fairy didn't come back, and we didn't have a chance to thank him. It's a great blessing to meet him here."

Zhou An waved his hand, looked at the books on the table and asked, "Are you going to take part in the imperial examination?"

Xu Chang nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, I had to wait at least two more years before I could participate, but during the examination, I was favored by the magistrate and praised me for my talent, so I was accepted exceptionally."

"That's when I took the flying boat to the imperial city to take part in the imperial examination."

Zhou An paused and asked, "Is the imperial examination personally assessed by His Majesty?"

Xu Chang nodded: "It's like this every year, but it's very difficult to get admitted. Sometimes there may not be one person who is qualified in a year."

The emperor of the palace examination has the final say, he thinks you can do it well, and if you can't do it, you can't do it.
