Chapter 1: Birth
There is a kind of flower, she is very petite, but has a strong vitality, she with an elegant posture, growing in every country in this world, thousands of years of time flies, people on the ground have experienced the cycle of life and death again and again, but the flower has never changed her appearance, does not change her temperament and fragrance, the name of the flower is Snow Sakura.
Emperor Yan, an inconspicuous small country on the border of the Thousand Spirits, has a suitable climate and blooms all kinds of spiritual flowers and plants all year round.
I am a member of this country, my father Mo Yu is the king of the emperor, and the sixth prince of the Thousand Spirit Clan, I have two brothers and sisters who are much older than me, and a twin brother who was born only a quarter of an hour before me, his name is Xingge, we look almost identical, the only difference is that on my chest, there is a red heart-shaped mark.
I have been a weak child since I was a child, because of the congenital heart is incomplete, my growth is more ups and downs than other ordinary children, my father is always afraid that I will die at any time due to angina, but fortunately, my sister Lan Fei'er is the best doctor of the emperor, and under her careful care, I can turn evil into good fortune again and again.
I have a vague memory of my childhood, and every time I have angina, I forget something, I just remember that Xingge was a gifted child from a young age.
On his 6th birthday, his father found a swordsmanship teacher for Xingge, the age of the swordsman is similar to that of his eldest brother Arrow, his name is Xinyi, every morning, he will go to the school field outside the dormitory on time to teach Xingge to practice swords, but he never let me touch his sword, when I ask him the reason, he will always look at me with an inexplicable look, and then say: "Little prince, your body is not suitable." ”
A few days later, my father came to check on Xingge's studies, and by the way, he brought me two teachers, they were the two oldest of the emperors, "From today on, they will stay in your dormitory, and they know what you want to know." ”
Since then, whenever Xingge practiced swordsmanship, I would sit in the snow cherry blossom forest outside the school grounds and listen to the teachers tell me about the history of this world, they said that there are nearly 100 races in this world, and the three largest of them are the Thousand Feather Clan, the Thousand Spirit Clan, and the Thousand Shadow Clan, and the Emperor Concubine is only a small country in the Thousand Spirit Clan.
"Before you were born, your father and brother lived in the royal city of the Thousand Spirits Clan Elpaso, your grandfather Lan Zi was the seventy-first king of the Thousand Spirits Clan, on the eve of your and Xingge's birth, the Emperor Concubine was raided by the Thousand Shadows Clan, and the entire Imperial Concubine's royal family was wiped out, King Lan Zi brought your father to repel the invaders, so that this country was spared, in order to prevent the Emperor from encountering the invasion of the Thousand Shadows Clan again, King Lan Zi ordered your father to succeed him as the new king of the Emperor Concubine."
"Why did the Thousand Shadows raid the Emperor?" I asked.
"In order to continuously expand their respective territories and cultivation, the kings of the three major races can only keep fighting against foreign countries. Emperor Concubine is at the junction of the Thousand Spirits Clan and the Thousand Shadows Clan, so he is often raided by the Thousand Shadows Clan, which is why King Lan Zi will let your father inherit the throne of Emperor Concubine, among his many sons, except for Prince Zuoke, it belongs to your father's cultivation is the highest. ”
I always thought that the Emperor Concubine was just a small country that no one cared about, but I didn't expect that it was actually the first protective door to block the invasion of the Thousand Shadow Clan.
Xingge's swordsmanship improved rapidly, and in less than half a year, the school field outside the dormitory could no longer meet his training needs, and Shin also took him to the Misty Sea, far away from the Imperial Palace, with his father's consent.
The sea stretched as far as the eye could see, and on the other side of the sea was the Thousand Shadows.
After Xingge left, I begged Brother Arrow to take me to the Misty Sea to find him many times, but my brother refused, saying that his father ordered no one to disturb him in order for Xingge to concentrate on his sword practice.
I had no choice but to stay in the dormitory, and most of the time I spent myself alone in the snow cherry blossom forest, except for listening to two teachers talk about the history of the Thousand Spirits every day.
A month later, a girl named Iridium Heart, the daughter of the chief maid of the dormitory, accidentally broke into my sight, and for many nights I saw her crouching under a tree picking up falling snow cherry blossom petals.
Finally, one day, I couldn't help but go up to her and ask, "Do you like these flowers very much?" Why come every day? ”
"Isn't it the same with the little prince?" Iridium looked at me with a smile as she combed two long braids that reached her waist.
"Snow cherry blossoms are really beautiful, but why are you putting them all in a bottle?"
"My mother told me that every petal symbolizes a life, and when life passes, the petals will wither, and I feel sorry for these withered flowers, so I collect them."
I looked up at the snow cherry blossoms above my head, "They're so white, like snowflakes!" ”
"Yes, they're all white, but I've seen red snow cherry blossoms besides white."
"Red snow cherry blossoms?" I was stunned.
"Don't you know? When you were born, all of the snow cherry blossoms in the Imperial Palace turned red, as red as blood! ”
"Turned red?" I glanced back at Iridium Heart.
"Yes, I heard that on that day, not only the emperor concubine, but the entire sky above the Thousand Spirit Clan was red by the color of the snow cherry blossoms! Anyone who has seen that scene will never forget it. ”
"But no one ever told me that!" I was surprised.
"Because after that day, King Lan Zi ordered that no one in the entire Emperor Concubine and the Thousand Spirits Clan should mention this matter again, little prince, in fact, that day..." Iridium Heart was about to continue, when the head maid suddenly appeared behind us, "Iridium Heart, don't go back to sleep so late!" She yelled at Iridium.
When Iridium saw her mother, she quickly got up and stepped aside, "I know!" Mom, I'll go back! ”
"Sister Iridium, you haven't finished telling me yet!" I just wanted to grab her and ask for an explanation, but I was picked up by the chief maid, "Little prince, it's not too early!" It's time for you to go back to your dormitories and rest. ”
"But ......"
“......”
That night, no matter how much I pestered, the chief maid never let me see Iridium again.
For many days after that, I repeated the same dream, in the dream, I always saw a blurry figure, she was wearing a plain white dress standing under the snow cherry tree looking at me, I wanted to take her hand, but I couldn't grasp anything, the snow cherry blossoms in the sky gradually turned blood, and then fell on me one by one.
I would always be awakened by a dream and look out the window at the snowy cherry trees until dawn.
Because of what Iridium Heart said to me under the snow cherry tree, my dormitory changed the head maid, and Iridium's mother was expelled from the palace after being severely punished by my father, and I haven't seen them since.
