lowing the Xiaolin Town massacre to become reality"Bai Lian said, “Because they know too well what they've done. They know that once evidence is found, Qinghe Shui Fu would really go all out and start...Jiang Wang savored it for a long time, then said, "It's indescribable!"

Jiang WuHua intended to draw closer to the other person through their shared love of cooking, so he smiled and said: “This preserved egg is made from the eggs of a snow bamboo chicken, the meat is from a pearl hog, and the rice is Xiao YuLan. In thousands of ingredients, I chose these three to be the most suitable combination. It must be cooked in a sandalwood pot, served in a jade bowl, so as not to lose its flavor. Burn with charred orchid pine, simmer over low heat for three hours, no more, no less.”

There was a hint of self-satisfaction in his smile, he seemed quite confident in his cooking skills.

Jiang Wang was indeed captivated by the deliciousness of the porridge, but hearing this, his first thought was, could the crown prince be so idle

A tiny bowl of congee, from the ingredients to the pot and utensils, down to the fire's heat and even the burning firewood, all require meticulous time and effort. So where does the prince find the time for his cultivation Where does he find time for studying governance

>

It is said that "governing a large country is like cooking a small fish," but it's not as simple as finding a chef to do it!

But how the prince is doing, it's not his place to say. On the surface, he naturally said: "Your Highness is truly a caring person. This porridge was something I learned by stealing your recipe."

"Very well. The snow bamboo chicken, pearl pig, and little orchid are all unique to the East Palace. Qing Yangzi can bring some back when he returns." Jiang Wu Hua smiled happily and raised his hand. "Let's eat in silence first, please have some porridge."

Thus, he began to enjoy breakfast in the Chang'le Palace.

Jiang Wang didn't refuse and drank two bowls in a row. At the same time, he silently remembered Jiang WuHua's method and thought about making a bowl for AnAn to drink when he had time later.

Seeing that Jiang Wang did not intend to have another bowl, the Crown Prince also put down the jade bowl and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

The eunuch attending on the emperor silently removed the food platter and another person brought fragrant tea.

Amidst the fragrance of subtle perfumes, the Prince chuckled and said, "I have always known that Jiang Qingyang loves to frequent brothels..."

As soon as Jiang Wang tasted the tea, he nearly spat it out.

"...savor fragrant tea. My smoked tea is no less excellent than the Eight Sounds Tea."

Speaking like that, with such heavy breaths On purpose, right

But it has to be said, the sliver of ambition that Prince displayed made him appear more approachable.

"Good tea, good tea," Jiang Wang awkwardly agreed, in reality not tasting the flavor of this smoky tea at all.

The prince gathered some of his smile, and the atmosphere instantly became much more serious. He looked at Jiang Wang: "How much does Qingyangzi know about officialdom"

Now for the main topic.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Jiang Wang said truthfully, "I don't know much."

>

He had used the Qingyang Town Seal, which indeed benefited his cultivation, but the effect was not very significant. From the perspective of cultivation progress alone, the time spent governing the region was less effective than focusing solely on cultivation.

Besides, he had also seen the seal of Jiacheng's city lord and understood something about the relationship between public opinion and the city seal. However, he didn't know much else.

He hailed from a small town in the state of Zhuang, and his background was no longer a secret to the high-ranking officials of the Qi state.

Therefore, the Crown Prince was not surprised. He calmly said: "The official path blends Legalism, Confucianism, military strategy, and Mohism... It incorporates a hundred schools of thought, constituting the state's system. Ancient times saw innovations, but it was truly after Dao Li's new enlightenment that it flourished and became widely accepted."

Jiang Wang was still very interested in these bits of history buried in time, listening attentively.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Let's not talk about these historical matters."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Perhaps noticing Jiang Wang's interest, the Crown Prince playfully changed the subject, his gaze lingering on Jiang Wang with a hint of meaning: "You currently hold only honorary titles. I imagine your understanding of the intricacies of officialdom isn't profound."

The Three-Product Golden Gourd Warrior, of course, is as hollow as it gets.

Though a fourth-rank official, the title "Blue Banner Catch Head" was essentially a real job. However, Master Jiang had connections within the city patrol office. The office rarely assigned him any tasks. Master Jiang himself disliked investigating cases and apprehending criminals, finding it quite troublesome. As a result, he rarely fulfilled his duties.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

At the end of the day, he started as a placeholder in the blue card system, and fundamentally didn't consider the blue card as his own career.

So the prince said that all his titles were empty and he was not wrong.

But because the other party was a prince, Jiang Wang couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed to be caught slacking off. Especially since he received his salary regularly and never missed a penny.

“Haha, I was so focused on winning the competition before, busy with my cultivation…” He quickly explained, saying that he was also fighting for national honor, and then awkwardly smiled: “Indeed, not very profound.”

The prince's smile, however, was very warm: "Actually, before leaving the outer courtyard, the official road does not provide much benefit to cultivation progress. Especially someone like Qingyangzi, who is so gifted, he doesn't really need the help of the official road."

Jiang Wang heard the meaning: "After the outer building, it's different"

“Exploring the starry sky and erecting star towers, the most fear is getting lost. The soul wanders outside the heavens, unseen returning. This is similar to a dragon entering the inner palace. The Dragon Realm must clear away the mist of ignorance before it can find the inner palace. The soul wandering in the heavens also needs to see through the ignorance between heaven and earth before it can find its true path.”

Jiang Wuhua spoke eloquently, explaining the matters of cultivation very clearly: "Building a tower outside the sky is like probing a needle in the sea; it's hard to find and even harder to return. A cultivator's single thought connects with a line between heaven and earth. While official paths can be connected by 'human Qi', the thoughts of one person are different from those of thousands or millions. The official path helps cultivators anchor themselves in the present world. Of course, you are the foremost internal palace, your divine abilities illuminating the five palaces internally and the starry sky externally; you naturally wouldn't easily lose your way."

These things, no one had ever told Jiang Wang.

At this moment, I truly feel a sense of enlightenment.

In ancient times, one couldn't leave their house without divine power. This step of penetrating heaven and earth's ignorance must have been incredibly difficult.

And before that, the sages explored the Four Spiritual Star Regions, each passing on their teachings to help those who came after establish their foundations. Later, national systems were established with official positions and such benefits, aiding in escaping the celestial misfortunes of soul loss from outside.

As more and more cultivators from outside the courtyard came, the human race grew increasingly powerful.

"It can be said that the very first creation of the official path was to help those with insufficient talent in their cultivation." Jiang Wu-hua chuckled self-deprecatingly.

It's as if he were saying, he was one of those people who lacked talent.

He who possesses no supernatural powers but dwells outside the temple, the present Prince is such a man.

But Jiang Wang did not dare to underestimate him.

Many people say that the Crown Prince only gained his position due to his age. But look at how mighty Emperor Qi of today is! Just because he's older, could he have taken the Eastern Palace

Then there's no need for the ninth and eleventh princes to compete. After the three princesses, it's just the fourth and fifth princes.

But in fact, the two of them, Jiang Wang and others who had not been in Qi for long, didn't even know their names, whether they were princes or princesses. As members of the imperial family, they were unknown, even dimmer than the Fourteenth Prince, Jiang Wuyang.

Moreover, Jiang Wuyou, Jiang Wuye, and Jiang Wuqi, these three, Jiang Wang has all interacted with. They can be said to be dragons and phoenixes among people, each dazzling.

If Jiang Wuhua could remain stable in the East Palace under their attack, how could he be any worse

Speaking plainly, for someone to explain the matter of cultivation so thoroughly, this prince's skill is definitely not simple!

"The path of cultivation is long and arduous, the journey outside these walls is merely a single step." Jiang Wang said seriously, "No one knows who stands higher until they reach the peak."

Jiang Wuhu was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "What a good saying, 'One who has not reached the highest point knows not who is higher!' You truly know me, Jiang Qingyang!"

Jiang Wang: ...

This prince is good in every way, except that he has a habit of subtly drawing you into his side with just a few words. One moment he's with kindred spirits, the next he's your soulmate. Just looking at this scene, who could know that this was Jiang Wang's first visit

I'm just stating my personal views on cultivation, you know who I am Your Highness!

Jiang Wang only lightly smiled, refusing to engage.

Jiang Wuhua did not seem embarrassed.

He rested his hand on his knee, leaning forward slightly: "Do you know—"

He asked, "The Holy Emperor's cultivation reaches the heavens, his power encompasses all realms. He naturally has an extraordinary lifespan, why is there still a need to designate an heir" attacks at any time and place.And as he walked out of the Marshal's Mansion in the respectful gazes of the servants, he immediately saw Zheng Shangming, who was imposing and hadn't even had time to c...
