Chapter 1 Harmony
"Fengtian carrier, the third prince Zhao Chuan lost his honor in front of the palace, and when the period of detention in the Cold Jade Palace expired, he immediately left the palace and entered the Heavenly Whale Country as the prince of the Lingchuan Empire, and he was admirable!"
A strong man dressed in intricate pattern armor, with an inexplicable light flickering on his body, he sneered and recited the holy decree, seemingly congratulatory but actually full of irony: "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, it is said that the object you want to kiss is the eldest princess of the Sky Whale Country, that is a famous beauty, it is really gratifying!"
Different from other palaces in the palace with gold as the background color, which looks extremely graceful, the cold jade palace is based on pure white, even though the decorations and utensils are still luxurious, but there is always a cold feeling, which makes people feel a coolness from the bottom of their hearts on dog days.
The young man who knelt down to receive the order was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and his appearance was delicate and handsome, but he was different from the masculinity of a man, his body was more weak, and there was a neutral softness.
"Commander Wen Teng laughed, but the dignified son was sent out to make peace, how happy is there?" A sneer appeared at the corner of the young man's mouth, as if this strange holy decree did not exceed his imagination.
"Although I, Zhao Chuan, am the prince, how can I enjoy the treatment of a prince since I was a child?"
"At the age of three, I can recite the scriptures. ”
"At the age of five, I can chant words. ”
"At the age of seven, he also learned the art of war. ”
"The ten-year-old sand table exercise is no longer invincible......"
"Now that I am an adult at the age of eighteen, whether it is poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or even the derivation of the art of war, which one is not the best in the world!"
"Now, isn't it ridiculous to put the word "Heqin?"
In the end, a trace of fierceness flashed on Zhao Chuan's face, as if his father had died for Emperor Lingchuan.
Wen Teng's face sank, and he reminded unhappily: "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, please be cautious! As a courtier, how can you talk about the length of Your Majesty's decision-making behind your back?"
Zhao Chuan laughed a few times, stood up in a dashing manner, pointed at Wen Teng and reprimanded: "Commander Luo, don't show your loyalty in front of me, you are just a dog raised by my royal family, you can go and tell him, now that he is about to make friends, let's see if he can lock me up in the Cold Jade Palace?"
Wen Teng's face was extremely difficult to see, he had served in front of Emperor Zhao Mingfan of Lingchuan for many years, so he naturally knew his master's character, and now making peace with the Heavenly Whale Country was the top priority, and no one was allowed to destroy this, including the emperor himself!
When I reported the incident, I didn't do anything but get a reprimand.
Zhao Chuan just saw through this, so he was so fearless.
Thinking of this, Wen Teng took a deep look at Zhao Chuan, threw the holy decree into his arms, and left without looking back.
In his heart, the third prince Zhao Chuan has now begun to break the jar and break it, and he wants to arrest people indiscriminately and go into the water, he is naturally unwilling to deal with this kind of person who is not a madman but even a madman.
Seeing Wen Teng leaving, Zhao Chuan's madness quickly calmed down, a trace of sarcasm flashed in his beautiful eyes, and he turned the holy decree in his hand, muttering: "Are you actually leaving? I didn't expect a farce half a month ago to end in such a way......
Half a month ago.
Emperor Zhao Mingfan of Lingchuan held a state banquet to entertain the envoys of the Heavenly Whale Kingdom who came from afar.
Zhao Chuan hurried to the Qianqing Palace, the main hall of the banquet, but he didn't expect that as soon as he appeared, he was reprimanded by the eldest prince Zhao Shan, saying that as a prince, he didn't understand regulations and etiquette.
Now, what does Zhao Chuan, who has received the decree and kiss, not understand, why would his father summon his disliked son at the state banquet?
It seems that as early as half a month ago, or even earlier, he had been pushed out as a chess piece and put him under house arrest in the Cold Jade Palace, just because he didn't want him to make trouble, so he casually found a reason.
A good man, but he was sent out to kiss, ridiculous!
It's ridiculous!
After staring through the paper window for a long time, Zhao Chuan casually walked out of the Cold Jade Palace.
The sun shines on his body, there is a warm feeling, but Zhao Chuan's heart is full of cold, he doesn't understand, why the same prince has so much different treatment!
He has been thinking about this question since he was sensible, and he has not found an answer to this day.
Just as Zhao Chuan was torturing his heart and walking towards the dormitory, he found that Wen Teng had hurriedly gone and returned.
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince, Your Majesty has an order, so that you should go to the imperial study to see him immediately!" Wen Teng's eyes flashed with inexplicable meaning.
Zhao Chuan frowned, it is not his style of an iron-blooded father, as Zhao Mingfan, who climbed all the way from an ordinary soldier to the emperor's position, his style is simple, rough and direct, why did he just issue a holy decree and send Wen Teng to pass on the oracle?
Something is wrong!
Zhao Chuan's heart moved, and he tidied up his appearance a little, and followed Wen Teng to the front of the imperial study.
Standing in front of the imperial study, Wen Teng did not enter together, but motioned to Zhao Chuan to go in alone with his eyes.
This move made Zhao Chuan particularly vigilant, you must know that Wen Teng is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and he is also the person who does the most dirty work for the emperor, what does he have to avoid?
With questions, Zhao Chuan stepped into the door of the imperial study, and as soon as he entered the imperial study, there was a strong smell of smoke coming to his face, and the entire imperial study was smoky, like a fairyland.
But this kind of fairyland is full of murderous intentions, I don't know if it is the evil taste of Emperor Zhao Mingfan, even though the sun is like fire outside in the entire imperial study, but the hall is still lit with candles.
Darkness, oppression, and majesty are the main themes of the imperial study.
The emperor seems to be high above the clouds, and the people standing below can't help but feel awe.
When he walked to the center of the imperial study, he found that there were still a lot of people in the imperial study, and the emperor Zhao Mingfan sat on the main seat, and the eldest prince Zhao Shan stood next to him, and Zhao Shan's hand also had a beautiful woman with an iceberg-like temperament.
This woman ...... It seems to be the envoy of the Sky Whale Country half a month ago?
Zhao Chuan muttered in his heart, at the state banquet, he was imprisoned in the Cold Jade Palace before he had time to take a closer look.
"The sons and daughters meet their father, and the father's martial arts are prosperous!" The etiquette education he received since he was a child did not make Zhao Chuan affected by the doubts in his heart, and he saluted with both hands in fists.
"Well, get up, this time it is Special Envoy Zhu's intention to call you over, and the peace between the two countries is a major matter, and it must be carefully examined. Emperor Zhao Mingfan's impatient voice came, and this straightforward way of talking was really in line with his image of an iron-blooded soldier.
And Zhao Mingfan has a huge momentum, under the pressure of this momentum, he feels more oppressed just by kneeling.
"Father Xie. ”
Zhao Chuan reluctantly stood up and looked at the envoy of the Heavenly Whale Country, but he sneered in his heart: Father didn't even bother to find an excuse, and the major affairs of the two countries and relatives would have an impact on me? Even if I am lame and paralyzed, lifting me will carry me to the Heavenly Whale Country!
Before the envoy of the Heavenly Whale Kingdom could speak, the eldest prince Zhao Shan, who was standing next to him, jumped out and said with a smile: "Special envoy, you don't know, the third emperor brother is a rare talent of our Lingchuan royal family, and he is all good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, if it weren't for your Heavenly Whale Kingdom, he wouldn't let him ...... anyway."
The envoy of the Heavenly Whale Country snorted coldly, and his voice was like a brittle jade: "Could it be that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Heavenly Whale Country is not worthy of him?" Also, I have heard of his poetic talent, but why haven't I heard of his kung fu?"
The eldest prince Zhao Shan was stunned, glanced at Zhao Chuan, and said with a malicious smile: "Don't you know that Special Envoy Zhu? I, the third emperor brother, have never practiced martial arts, so I can be said to be powerless. But the prince, what do you want to do martial arts? Is it still like ordinary people, who can't use martial arts is equivalent to a waste?"
Rubbish!
Zhao Chuan clenched his fists, his nails pierced deep into his palms, even the physical pain could not alleviate the humiliation in his heart!
The entire Lingchuan Empire is proud of martial arts, and the status of literati is far inferior to that of martial artists.
And he, as the third prince of the Lingchuan Empire, didn't know any martial arts at all.
It's not that he doesn't want to learn, but since he was a child, no one was willing to teach him at all, and later he learned that Emperor Zhao Mingfan strictly forbade anyone to teach him martial arts!
Zhao Chuan's heart was forbearing, this was not the result he wanted, the sense of humiliation was like a poisonous snake, constantly gnawing his heart.
Hearing the evaluation of the eldest prince Zhao Shan, the eyes of the envoy of the Heavenly Whale Kingdom turned a little colder, she really couldn't get used to such a fancy person who had never practiced martial arts.
But she knew that harmony was a joint decision made by the Heavenly Whale Kingdom and the Lingchuan Empire, and it was by no means something that anyone could stop. So far, she can't stop it, Zhao Chuan can't stop it, even the eldest princess in the bureau can't stop it!
Emperor Zhao Mingfan was a little impatient, as an iron-blooded soldier, he was most annoyed by these things.
Looking at the handsome face of Zhao Chuan standing below, a trace of disgust flashed in Zhao Mingfan's eyes, and he waved his hand impatiently: "Since Envoy Zhu has already seen it, let's stop here today, and set off with the team in two days, and don't come to the imperial study to say goodbye at that time." ”
"Don't you even want to see me when you leave?" Zhao Chuan bowed deeply, but a wry smile crossed the corner of his mouth.
Stepping out of the door of the imperial study, the eldest prince Zhao Shan suddenly chased after him from behind.
"Third brother, you are blessed, it is said that this eldest princess is a veritable beauty, but ......" The eldest prince Zhao Shan showed an evil smile: "I heard that this eldest princess's cold-blooded cruelty is as famous as her beauty, it seems that you will suffer it in the future!"
After that, the eldest prince Zhao Shan laughed and left.
"Is it cold-blooded and cruel?" Zhao Chuan muttered and looked at the sky, and at some point, the originally clear blue sky was covered by a dark cloud, gloomy and terrifying.
A cool breeze came out, Zhao Chuan couldn't help but shiver, tightened the clothes on his body, and slowly walked towards the dormitory.
Leaving the imperial study, Zhao Chuan returned to the dormitory.
The palace, where he had lived for eighteen years, was a little dilapidated, and few people were willing to repair it because it was not favored.
"Your Highness, you're back!"
As soon as he stepped into the dormitory, a crisp voice came from Zhao Chuan's ears, and then a pretty figure appeared in front of him.
