"You used to say that there was an ancient book that wrote that bathing in a hot spring in winter is the most leisurely, and you told me at that time that it is best to enjoy the plum blossoms before and after the sting, and if you can find a plum tree planted next to the hot spring, you will definitely have to live there for a year, and wait until the sting is stunned, and enjoy the plum blossoms in the hot spring. At that time, Taifu still laughed at you, saying that the climate next to the hot spring was warm, and the leaf buds could not be opened, so I was afraid that I would not be able to appreciate the plum. ”

Qi Lie's words brought Mu Weiyang back to the days when they were still studying together in Qi Mu Wangcheng.

At that time, for this matter, Mu Weiyang also quarreled with Taifu, and even alarmed Sun Yixian, the prince of Qimu at that time.

In the end, it was Qi Lie who was punished for her.

Back then, Qi Lie was just a proton that Qiang was sending to Qi Mu Wangcheng.

Originally, this proton should have been Qi Lie's brother Yi Qixun, but Qi Lie's brother's biological mother couldn't bear the pain of separation of flesh and blood, and tried every means to exchange him back.

So, during a tribute, King Qiang Zheng brought the young Qi Lie, who had no surname at that time, just called "Lie", and the word "Lie" was not his name, but only meant that he was a very naughty child.

This year, King Qiang Zheng brought a particularly rich tribute, as well as one of his least favorite sons, in exchange for the son of the woman he loved the most.

At that time, Sun Yixian, the prince of Qimu, who had just been in power for a short time, just glanced at the stubborn "Lie" on his face, accepted the exchange of King Qiangzheng, and asked him with a smile: "Have you studied?" ”

"Lie" shook his head.

Sun Yixian, the prince of Qimu, touched the head of "Lie" with a smile and said, "Then go to Taifu's side." ”

Regarding Gongsun Yixian's touching of his head, "Lie" glared at Gongsun Yixian, opened his mouth and was about to bite, but was slapped to the ground by King Qiang Zheng and reprimanded: "Naughty! ”

King Qiang Zheng turned around, and just as he was about to say sorry, Gongsun Yixian waved his hand: "Child, I have more stubborn ones." ”

The two of them laughed like that.

"Lie" was also taken to the Taifu Pavilion in the royal city.

The appearance of "Lie" attracted the attention of all children.

But after all, it was Qi Mu's royal and grandson nobles, and they only secretly glanced at it a few times, then withdrew their gaze, revealing a noble demeanor pretending to be indifferent.

Only a little girl, using the table as a chair and a chair as a footstool, swayed, looking at the newcomer without any "noble demeanor".

When Lie saw the girl looking at him, he glared back at her fiercely, as if he was going to eat someone.

The little girl saw that he was so rude, and was just about to get up to teach him a lesson, when a cough came from outside the house.

As the cough sounded, the eldest Wang Sun in the Taifu Pavilion shouted, "Salute"

After this "salute", everyone present stood up and saluted in the direction of coughing: "Hello Taifu!" ”

Taifu bowed to everyone and returned the salute, and then asked everyone to take their seats according to everyone's seat.

"This is the new prince of Qiang Zhengguo, called ......" The deputy young master on Taifu's side stopped in the middle of speaking, but "Lie" did not answer, just stood aside arrogantly.

"You should introduce yourself." A nobleman's son closest to him kindly reminded.

"Me? I don't know what my name is. As soon as the words of "Lie" were finished, everyone couldn't help but secretly cover their mouths and laugh, but the little girl before laughed uncontrollably.

"Hahahaha."

"Mu Weiyang, get off the table." Taifu's words were lukewarm, but Mu Weiyang listened to them.

It can be seen that although Mu Weiyang is stubborn, she still listens to this Taifu's words.

She stuck out her tongue and jumped off the table, then pointed at the chair, "It's dirty." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the attendant on the side quickly changed her to a new chair, as if it had been prepared.

"You don't know what your name is? So what do people call you? Taifu's temper seems to be very good, and he seems to be accustomed to this kind of "bad" Wang Sun Guixuan.

"My father said that I was like a fierce horse, so he called me 'Lie', and I don't know if this is a name." As soon as he finished speaking, all the kings and nobles present, although they were not very old, they all instantly understood the social status of this so-called "Prince of Qiangzheng".

The royal families of the five great powers all have their own surnames.

Just like Qi Mu Guoguo's surname Gongsun, all the royal families have the surname Gongsun, and after the royal children get married, the relatives who are recognized by King Qi Mu will also change their surnames to Gongsun after marriage.

The wife follows the husband's surname, and the husband becomes the king.

It is the highest honor.

In the five major countries, surnames represent status and class.

Only children whose parents are both royal are eligible to inherit the royal family, and if one of the parents does not belong to the royal family, then whether the child is considered a royal family depends on whether the ruling king is willing to give the surname of the country.

But this does not mean that the royal family will choose to marry in order to protect the royal family.

At least in the country of Qimu, intermarriage between royal families was commonplace. However, if the royal family intermarried with the nobles and finally became the royal family, it became the most perfect marriage in the minds of the nobles of King Qimu.

This means that the marriage partner chosen by the children of the royal family is appreciated by the king, or that the children of the royal family and the children of the nobles are appreciated by the king. Either way, it will have a higher family honor than a simple royal marriage.

Therefore, in many cases, the outstanding children of the nobles will be more sought-after than the children of the royal family.

The aristocracy, on the other hand, is the child of the royal family who is married to the children of the non-royal family and does not become a royal family after marriage.

Of course, the children of the royal family and the commoners, as well as the children of the nobles and the commoners, also belonged to the nobility.

King Qimu would give different surnames according to his fiefdom, status, and degree of importance, and the children who had these surnames became the new nobles.

And these surnames are not with them for a lifetime and cannot be changed.

All Qi Mu people have three chances to sprint to the royal throne or nobility, the first is birth, which will be determined by your parents, the second is marriage, which will be determined by your choice and vision, and the third is death, which will be determined by your life's merits.

For example, if you are a lowest-ranking commoner without any surname, you can change your family's fate in two ways after birth. The first is to rely on your own strength to enter the circle of Wang Sun Guixuan, and be appreciated by them, so as to become one of them. The second is to rely on one's own strength to fight for a cause for life, dedicate one's life and gain recognition, and pass on the surname to one's descendants after death, and only allow it to be passed on to one of the descendants.

For Qi Mu's royal family, these commoners who can enter the vision of Wang Sun and Guizhou by their own strength and win the appreciation of King Qi Mu are sometimes more popular than the children of the royal family.

Because, this means that this person's strength is extraordinary, and he can not only improve his family strength, but also enhance his family prestige.
