Quickly wear the cannon fodder, he made this short-lived script

Chapter 23 Shadow Guard is my father? (3)

"My name is Zhao Huaiqing, and His Majesty sent me here."

Mo Ci answered twice, and the person who asked the question widened his eyes when the word "Your Majesty" came out. He obviously didn't expect that Mo Ci came here at the request of Your Majesty.

Moreover, the surname Zhao is the national surname.

The man's expression was a little stiff. He tried to figure out which prince's child Mo Ci was. After a while, he spoke out in suspicion.

"You... are the Prince of Qi?"

"Ah."

This should be correct, Mo Ci thought as he nodded. The Prince of Qi is the father of his current body, and he is also called the Young Master by others, so he should be the Prince of Qi.

When the man saw Mo Ci nod, he took a breath and then laughed awkwardly twice. He finally understood why His Majesty wanted such a young child to come to the Imperial College.

Thinking about it, the man said, "My name is Zuo Xian. The one who brought you here just now is the Imperial College's chief academic officer, Wei Zhuoyuan. However, all the students in the Imperial College call him Teacher, so you should call him that from now on."

"Ah."

Mo Ci is now completely blind. He just replies with "hmm" to whatever Zuo Xian says. To be honest, the position of the Imperial College's chief academic officer is completely in his blind spot.

So what Mo Ci can do now is to talk less and observe more.

Seeing that Mo Ci listened carefully, Zuo Xian didn't say anything more. Instead, she stood up and seemed to struggle for a while before reaching out her hand.

"This is the first time that the Imperial College has accepted students this young. Come, I'll take you to get a set of student supplies."

Mo Ci looked at the hand stretched out in front of him, hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand and shook hands with the other's big hand. It was at this moment that Mo Ci truly realized that he had become a child now.

This hand is really small, but it is much more delicate and tender than Shui Qingmiao's back then. Firstly, he is still a child now, and secondly, he is the prince's child after all, and is raised with great respect and pampering. It is impossible for him not to be delicate and tender.

Zuo Xian took into consideration that Mo Ci was small and took small steps, so she walked very slowly. Occasionally, they would meet some students who were also wearing school uniforms.

When these people met Zuo Xian, they would always bow and greet her. Some would say a few more words, while others would just say hello and then leave.

Mo Ci observed the way they bowed and saluted, thinking that this was very different from the way of saluting in the world of immortal cultivation. Then he thought about his own performance in front of the emperor just now.

For a moment, the expression on Mo Ci's tense face became a little stiff. At this moment, he could only be thankful that he was still young for his current identity, otherwise, his way of greeting, which was completely different from that of this world, would make him be regarded as an alien.

Thinking of this, Mo Ci secretly memorized the way Zuo Xian and the others bowed and saluted, so that he would not make the same mistake next time.

Zuo Xian only knew that every time he stopped to greet someone, Mo Ci would look at him. In his opinion, this was wasting time and making Mo Ci impatient.

After several times, Zuo Xian stopped talking to anyone, nodded, and continued to pull Mo Ci forward, completely unaware of Mo Ci's true intention in looking at him.

Just like that, the two of them came to the place where they collected student supplies. Most of the students in the Imperial College were over thirteen years old, so the items prepared were naturally for this age group.

Mo Ci was the only student who entered the Imperial College at the age of five. He was both an exception and an accident.

Zuo Xian politely told the manager about Mo Ci's situation, and Mo Ci was content to be a little waste, waiting for someone to help him deal with it.

Of course, even though Mo Ci did nothing, it didn't mean he was really doing nothing. On the contrary, he was always observing the people around him, and writing down everything they said and did.

While Zuo Xian was speaking, she also revealed Mo Ci's identity. After hearing this, the manager looked at Mo Ci a few more times, then nodded and said that he would bring Mo Ci suitable student uniforms in a few days.

After this was settled, Zuo Xian took Mo Ci to the so-called dormitory area. The accommodation for students at the Imperial College was very good. Generally, one person had a room, and six rooms formed a small courtyard.

Zuo Xian settled Mo Ci in his own courtyard. Coincidentally, there were two empty rooms in his courtyard. In addition, the chief priest asked him to take better care of Mo Ci, which made it more convenient for him to take care of Mo Ci.

Moreover, perhaps as a benefit of being young, Mo Ci hardly did anything during the whole process. The room was completely taken care of by Zuo Xian. Even things like making the bed were taken care of by Zuo Xian.

After everything was done, the whole room looked brand new. Zuo Xian looked at the now popular room with satisfaction, then looked at Mo Ci and spoke with a gentle smile on her face.

"Alright, young master, this will be your residence in the Imperial College from now on. If you have any questions or don't know how to do something, you can come find me next door."

"it is good."

Mo Ci nodded, and while thinking, he recreated the bowing movements Zuo Xian and the others had just made, and saluted Zuo Xian, "Thank you, Brother Zuo Xian."

His action was obviously beyond Zuo Xian's expectation. Zuo Xian was surprised but also wanted to laugh. There was nothing she could do. Mo Ci was young and very serious. No matter how she looked at him, he gave people a funny feeling of being too serious.

However, Zuo Xian did not really laugh. Instead, she returned Mo Ci's greeting in the same serious manner and added a few words.

"You're welcome. This is all part of my job."

After saying that, the big and the small both withdrew their gesture of greeting at the same time. Zuo Xian asked Mo Ci to stay in the room first while he went to get some things.

After watching Zuo Xian leave, Mo Ci let go and began to walk around the room. Judging from the size of the room, it was about the same size as the room he was in when he first arrived in this world.

Not only that, the students in the Imperial College are probably all children of officials, so the dormitories here are naturally not bad.

Mo Ci was not picky about the bed. He mainly looked at other places. In this whole room, there was a special place for clothes, a large bookshelf and a table and chairs.

In short, the structure of this room is very complete, at least in Mo Ci's opinion, the layout of this room is very good. After confirming this, Mo Ci planned to sit on the bed and meditate.

For the sake of his own life, he still has to race against time to increase his strength.

At this time, Mo Ci once again marveled at the power of the natural law. Even when the spiritual energy was so thin, it could still allow him to rise steadily, and the speed was not slow.

Obviously, that world was not comparable to the Central Region, but the martial arts there were more powerful than any he knew.

Mo Ci was even sure that if such a technique appeared in a place like the Central Region, the dispute would definitely not be less than that caused by the so-called admission ticket.

However, there is no point in thinking about these things now. Mo Ci withdrew his chaotic thoughts and concentrated on practicing.

However, he didn't have much time alone. Before long, there was a knock on the door, followed by Zuo Xian's voice.

"Young Master, Princess Qi is here to visit you, please come out quickly."

Zuo Xian didn't have the habit of breaking into other people's rooms, even if that person was just a five-year-old child. He was accompanied by two people, one was the manager of the Imperial College, and the other was someone close to the Princess of Qi.

Hearing the sound coming from outside the door, Mo Ci immediately came out of meditation, walked down from the bed, opened the door and saw three people. Except for Zuo Xian, he didn't recognize the other two.

But one of them seemed to be looking at him with some excitement? Mo Ci was just wondering when he heard Zuo Xian continue to speak.

"Princess Qi is here to visit. Uncle Zhou and I will go with you. This is the servant who serves Princess Qi. Young Master should know him."

Do you know him? Maybe.

Mo Ci looked at the man who was obviously very excited when he saw him, frowned slightly, and nodded, "Let's go."

Speaking of which, he and the mother of this body only had a brief hug last night. The warmth at that moment made Mo Ci unable to say that he didn't want to see her.

Also because of his status, Mo Ci walked in front alone, Zuo Xian lagged behind him half a step, and the other two lagged behind even a little. In this way, the group came to another large room near the door.

Seeing that Mo Ci seemed a little confused, Zuo Xian explained in a low voice, "This is the Imperial College's Family Visiting Hall, specially provided for students to meet with their relatives. I won't go in, I'll wait outside."

After saying that, Zuo Xian really stood still and did not move forward. Even the man called "Uncle Zhou" stood still like him.

The other person was obviously from Prince Qi's mansion, and he was waiting anxiously for Mo Ci to come in. Mo Ci retracted his gaze and walked inside.

He had just entered the door and had not taken a few steps when Princess Qi ran towards him excitedly again, squatted down and hugged Mo Ci tightly in her arms.

"Qing'er, my dear Qing'er..."

Mo Ci was hugged tightly, feeling the same warmth as that night, and opened his mouth to shout, "Mom."

"Hey! Qing'er, it's because I'm useless and can't protect you that you've been so young..."

Princess Qi held Mo Ci's little face in her hands, guilt and heartache flashing in her eyes. She just looked at Mo Ci, as if she wanted to reflect Mo Ci in her mind, and then hugged Mo Ci in her arms again.

"Qing'er, Mom went to ask Mother, and she promised Mom that she wouldn't let your father do anything to you again. But Qing'er, you can't go back to Prince Qi's Mansion for the time being, understand?"

"Don't worry, mother. I know."

Listening to the words of Princess Qi, Mo Ci felt a little relieved. To be honest, he really didn't want to go back to that Prince Qi's Mansion.

Not to mention that there is a biological father there who wants to kill him, that is the home of this body. He has no memory of this body and is a little worried that he will be exposed.

Of course, if he stayed here for a few more days, even if his personality changed, it wouldn't arouse too much suspicion.

Mo Ci didn't know that the Princess of Qi had a very good relationship with her son. How could she not notice the changes in her son?

But in her opinion, her son's personality changed after he almost got killed, which was normal.

Then, the Princess of Qi said a lot more, most of which were about her concern for Mo Ci, and told him to stay in the Imperial College with peace of mind, just study hard, and not worry about anything else.

Mo Ci still adopted the same approach as before, saying less and nodding more, but this again made Princess Qi feel distressed.

The mother and son reminisced about the past for almost an hour. Mo Ci was already a little tired, and the Princess of Qi was ready to return to the Prince of Qi's Mansion after being reminded by her maid.

Mo Ci, accompanied by Zuo Xian and Uncle Zhou, stood at the gate of the Imperial College and watched the Princess of Qi get into the carriage. But before the carriage started, the servant came to Mo Ci again and took out a purse embroidered with green bamboo.

"Prince, this was embroidered by the Princess herself. It contains spices that help with sleep. I hope you can keep it with you, just as the Princess is by your side."

After saying that, the servant turned around and caught up with the carriage that had already started running, while Mo Ci stared at the servant's back in a daze, thinking that something was wrong.

When he could no longer see anyone, Mo Ci looked at the purse in his hand. He placed the purse a few inches from his nose and sniffed it. The purse did indeed smell of spices, but Mo Ci felt something was wrong.

First of all, Princess Qi had just talked to him for such a long time, even if she wanted to give him a purse to help him sleep, she should have given it to him then and there.

Instead of asking a servant to hand it to him when she left, this was not the behavior of a mother who loved her son so much.

Secondly, Mo Ci did not suffer from insomnia, nor did he tell Princess Qi about it, so it was impossible for her to make such a useless thing for her son.

Thinking of this, Mo Ci put the purse into his arms and followed Zuo Xian to other places.

Only then did he realize that Zuo Xian had left to get his books for him. Now that he had entered the Imperial College, he naturally had to fulfill his duties as a student.

According to Zuo Xian's explanation, most of these books are for enlightenment. After all, Mo Ci is old enough. If he really learns what Zuo Xian and the others have learned, it would be no different from playing a joke.

But the Imperial College was not a place for joking, so the chief priest asked Zuo Xian to bring the enlightenment book specially prepared for him to Mo Ci.

After that, Zuo Xian took Mo Ci to visit the classrooms and the small cafeteria.

However, Zuo Xian said that although it is a cafeteria, you can order food, but you have to pay more money.

Speaking of money, Mo Ci was really short of money this time. Here, crystals and the like could not be used as currency at all. What they used were things called copper coins, silver, gold, and silver notes.

Coincidentally, these are what Mo Ci doesn't have.

Mo Ci, who was short of money, nodded to show that he understood, but in his heart he was thinking about how he was going to make money.

But before he could worry for long, he heard Zuo Xian say, "But Princess Qi has already paid for a full year's worth of fine food for you, so you don't have to worry about this."

"Oh."

Mo Ci's mood immediately improved a lot. Fortunately, he had no money, but his mother had money.

"By the way, Princess Qi also asked us to help manage some money for you, a total of 500 taels. If you want to buy anything, please call me. I will record the use of these 500 taels in detail and then give it to Princess Qi."

Five hundred taels? How much is that?

Mo Ci pondered in his mind and responded with a "OK" on his face.

With just a few words, Mo Ci's originally poor status turned into a wealthy one. Mo Ci also stopped thinking about making money and had a meal with Zuo Xian.

Later, Zuo Xian had classes, so Mo Ci stayed in his room, opened the so-called enlightenment book, and began to read it carefully.

Now that he has no memories of the original owner of this body, and this world is completely different from the world he knows, Mo Ci is more eager to obtain information about this world, so as to avoid the same impolite behavior as before in front of His Majesty.

It is worth mentioning that although the characters here are not very similar to those Mo Ci knew before, as long as he sees them, he can recognize how to pronounce the characters and the meaning they express.

This also made Mo Ci's doubts even more intense.

If it was because he had Shui Qingmiao's memory to help him in the previous world, he could understand the characters and speech of that world without any hindrance.

So in this world, he does not have Zhao Huaiqing's memory, but he can still communicate smoothly with other people, understand what they say, and read these written records.

What is it for?

Suddenly, Mo Ci thought of the purse. He took out the purse, lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then took out something from his space and prepared to catch a few mice to test whether there was anything wrong with the contents of the purse.

As for the purse, Mo Ci replaced the spices inside with the few fragrant herbs in his own space.

After finishing all this, Mo Ci turned his attention to the books again. There was not much information in the enlightenment books, but it was enough for Mo Ci.

The whole day passed quickly. On the second day, Zuo Xian took Mo Ci to the chief priest Wei Zhuoyuan and never came again.

And Mo Ci also began his learning career.
