Chapter 5: The Stunner of Destiny
In addition to being smug in that group of children, and pretending to be tender in front of the two little adults, Xin Kejia and Yun Wei, I also have a very good little sister. The first time I saw her, I liked her very much, she was really beautiful, she was the most beautiful person I had ever seen and remembered.
Her sweet and glutinous voice is really more pleasant than the sound of wind chimes, and I sighed when we first met: "How can there be such a stunner in the world?" ”
She is a year older than me, and she is Yun Wei's only sister, just as Yun Wei is the only crown prince in the Eastern Dynasty, and she, Lan Yunyi, is also the only princess in the Eastern Dynasty.
Is it that the children of the royal family are generally smarter than the children of ordinary people? After I sighed at that sentence, she replied with a smile: "Heaven and earth give birth to all things, all things have spirits, and all things have growth, Aru praised it!" ”
Princess Yunyi is not only beautiful and docile, but also a lot of talents, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is proficient in everything, I was very envious of her at first, I think she can do anything, and then I sympathize with her, she is a child without childhood.
When I was the child king, she could only be accompanied by these lifeless qin, chess, calligraphy and painting that were envied by outsiders, she was the only princess of the Eastern Dynasty in this world, and while enjoying the honor, she must also have the ability to bear this honor.
If I like her because she's pretty, then she likes me because she thinks I'm funny. She loved to hear me tell stories about how I fooled the kids into making them bow down to me, and sometimes I felt like she was one of the many kids I had fooled.
Yun Yi has always regarded me as a bosom friend, and she will tell me anything, because she can and only speak freely in front of me without the slightest scruples, and the identity of that princess is both glorious and heavy.
I have always wondered why there is only one queen, one prince, and one princess in the palace of the Eastern Dynasty, which is very different from the court in my impression.
Yun Yi explained this matter to me: "The Lingdu of the Eastern Dynasty has implemented monogamy for the king since the beginning of the dynasty, that is, each monarch can only marry one queen, and three wives and four concubines are avoided and women are not indulged. ”
"So that means Yun Wei can only marry one woman?"
"Well, the ancestors have been like this for generations, and the people of the world as witnesses, if they violate it, they will be spurned by the people of the world."
I was immediately happy, if I really became the crown princess, no one would come to compete with me and be jealous, and the glory, wealth, and huge harem would be my own world. And there are people all over the world to testify, not to let Lan Yunwei be a negative man. In that case, this princess is quite good!
I'm quite willing, but I don't know what Lan Yunwei thinks about his such a serious lifelong event, and whether he is willing to share my share of that very good honor.
Yun Yi probably saw the little calculation in my heart, and continued: "At the beginning of the dynasty, the first monarch Lan Ling's ancestor personally set up an astrological platform that could channel the world and fortune to calculate the destiny of heaven, especially the star destiny of our descendants of the Lan family! ”
"Astrological Observatory? What the hell are you doing here? Fortune teller? Is it reliable? ”
"Shh Yun Yi mentioned that the astrological platform was also mysterious, "Aru, don't blaspheme, if he doesn't calculate accurately, he will never survive to this day." ”
"yes, but what the hell is that for? Whose fate is counted? The future of kings? The future queen? The talent of the future? The future prince? The future crown princess? ”
"Yes, it's not, he's counting, it's mainly our lives!"
"Your lives?" I was a little surprised.
"Yes, the Eastern Dynasty has a monarch and a queen, a pearl and a jade system, the pearl is the princess, the jade is the prince, and each generation of the Eastern Dynasty can only have one prince and one princess. Every time the queen is pregnant, he will first go to the astrology table to calculate the star life of the child in the belly, if the divination result is that the star life is suitable, he will give birth to unlimited honors, and if he is uncomfortable, he will abandon it! ”
"Abandoned?"
"Yes, if the star is not in the right place, then the child cannot be born. The queen mother had already killed three children before giving birth to me and Yun Wei, so no one can say that the fate of the stars just determines our existence or not! ”
"Huh?! Why? Don't they all say that they want people to prosper and have children? How? ”
"Don't fight in the same room, brothers are against the wall. If there are no brothers and friends, there will be no boiled beans. ”
"This...", that's right, it's just a prince, the crown prince and the throne are his alone, and no one robs him, so he doesn't have to guard against his own family, which saves a lot of trouble. Not to mention, this is still a way, but it is a bit risky, in case the prince is not angry, won't this country be in jeopardy?
The glory of surviving is unlimited, the fit are born, the unfit are abandoned, the fittest survive, the unfit are eliminated, and the heavens are determined.
Thinking about it again, since the astrological platform is such a spiritual existence, then everyone must believe in it, and the king who the people want can be carried.
Yun Yi entered the Hanlin Wentang a year before me, that is, a school for the princes and princesses in the palace, as well as the sons and daughters of meritorious ministers and famous families to practice Wenmo martial arts. In addition to identity, there is only an age limit, and ten is not more than twenty.
Now Yun Yi is ten years old, Yun Wei Xin Kejia is fifteen, they are all in the hall, but I am limited by age to their world, and it is not lonely to be a child king alone.
So I've always thought it should be a fun place, and I should do something challenging, because fooling kids all day really doesn't show my intelligence.
I heard them say that there are five gentlemen in the hall, who teach ancient history, poetry, martial arts, arithmetic, and heavenly principles, and these five gentlemen are all capable ministers specially selected by the emperor from the court and partial talents recruited from the people. Don't ask where he found it, the divine existence of the astrological platform seems to be found by anyone.
Xin Kejia most often mentioned to me Mr. Wu, who taught martial arts, and he praised that gentleman to the sky, and when he said to me, his eyes were shining with gold: "Do you know Xixitang? It's the place where my father sent me to practice before, and eight of the top ten martial arts in the world are from Xixitang, and our Mr. Wu happens to be one of the two people who are not in Xixitang..."
He talked about how powerful Mr. Wu is and how strong his martial arts are, and I thought that if I can learn kung fu from such a person, maybe I can become a martial arts master in the future, which is not bad.
Yun Yi most often mentioned to me the two gentlemen who taught ancient history and poetry, and she said: "Mr. Shi is well-versed in ancient and modern times, and he can tell you anything you ask; Mr. Wen is full of wealth, and the poetry dictionary is at his fingertips. Listening to Mr. Shi's lectures, it is as if I can stand with him on the side of the long river of origin history and understand the origin and significance of every major event and every system, which is like an initiation; Listening to Mr. Wen's lectures, it is like entering a no-man's land, and traveling in the boundless world with poets and lyricists, tasting the ups and downs of the world, and the vicissitudes of life! ”
Yun Wei didn't boast about anyone, and said presciently: "If you want Yun Yi to evaluate Mr. Wu, and Ajia to evaluate Mr. Shi and Mr. Wen, I think this is ...... for you. Clearer. When it's time, let's experience it for yourself, you can't escape anyway! ”
