Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 1250

Then Chengye took Yun Shang straight to the innermost stone chamber. It was a martial arts performing field, with two rows of weapons neatly placed on both sides. In the middle was a large open space, where a group of little children were standing and practicing boxing with the secret guards in the front.

After all, it was difficult for the children to focus on something. As soon as they found Yun Shang and the others standing outside, some people couldn't help but turn their heads and look in this direction.

Chengye pulled Yun Shang's clothes. When Yun Shang bent down, he said in a low voice, "Mother, they are not as good at martial arts as I. I'll show them to you."

"Great, I have to take a good look at it."

As soon as Yun Shang finished her words, Chengye ran to the end of the line and stood still. He then put on a serious look and began to practice with everyone.

Chengye was still young, and his movements were not standard. There was no strength in his fists and feet, but he was very serious and followed the teacher's movements.

Yun Shang watched him smilingly for a while before glancing at the other children on the ground.

"The kids over there seem to be about the same age as Chengye? They all seem to be very young." Luo Qingyan nodded, "The eldest one is only about four years old. I specially asked the secret guards to choose children of such an age. It's better to be younger. He can remember everything in the mind at a young age. Only in this way can he be more loyal to his master.

And children of this age have little difference with Chengye so that they can share more common words."

Yun Shang nodded. Looking at these young children, she felt sorry for them.

It seemed that Luo Qingyan knew what she was thinking. He looked at the children quietly and said, "Look at these children. Are they all about the same height as Chengye? Some of them are even shorter than Chengye."

"Yes?" Yun Shang didn't understand why he said that, but she nodded, "Yes, it looks so.."

"But these children are actually older than Chengye. The oldest one is four years old, while the youngest one is nearly three years old. These children were orphans without parents. They wandered around. Some of them could barely eat and warm up with the help of the neighbors, but what they ate were mostly wild vegetables. Some of them mainly lived on begging or starving. When they were found by the secret guards, they were bony with no muscle at all.

In the past few months after they were brought to the Imperial Palace, they have had enough food. And because they have been practicing martial arts, They've got better. But even so, they don't look much taller than Chengye.

However, it is true that if they hadn't been taken to the palace, they might have starved to death. For them, it's also their fortune to be here. "

Yun Shang nodded. She knew that Luo Qingyan was telling the truth. She felt more and more pitiful for these children.

"That's good. At least these children won't be mistreated in food, clothing and living."

As Yun Shang spoke, she saw that Chengye turned his head to look at her, as if to make sure if she was looking at him.

Yun Shang quickly responded and waved at him with a smile.

"This naughty boy!" Luo Qingyan shook his head with a smile, "He was much more serious when you were not here. But now as you are here, he is acting like a spoiled child."

"He is just a kid."

Luo Qingyan smiled without saying anything more.

After seeing Chengye finish his boxing practicing, Yun Shang followed him to the stone chamber nearby to read and writing. There he had learned five words in the class, after which they went to another stone chamber to play.

There were all kinds of toys in the stone chamber. As all of them were still children, naturally, they had no resistance to these things. At first, the other children felt timid because they were afraid of both Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan.

After a while, however, they were so focused on playing that they began to quarrel while playing crazily.
