Lunaris Palace.

The palace maid said with some anger: "When I went to the front palace today, I heard some guards who chewed the root of their tongues, saying that Your Royal Highness, you were deliberately sick, in order to escape the battle with the prince during the winter hunt...

In the court before, you and the prince said that this year's winter hunt depends on who hunts better prey, and you also made a big bet.

The guards said that you were afraid, so you pretended to be seriously ill, hid under the queen's skirt, and carefully hid and did not dare to come out. ”

"Huh?"

Xia Yan snorted.

The palace maid was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Highness forgives your sins, Your Highness forgives your sins..."

Xia Yan shook his head and said softly: "It's okay, if you can tell me this news, it can be regarded as doing something for me, why be so afraid?" ”

The palace maid saw that His Royal Highness seemed to be really not angry, so she stood up carefully.

In front of her, the young man was wearing a python suit, eating, and his eyes were clear.

The palace maid looked at it, only to feel that His Royal Highness was really kind-hearted, and there were rumors in the palace before that His Highness was a ridiculous and lustful person, but this was completely nonsense...

Your Highness, so handsome and kind-faced, is simply a gentle young man.

It was His Royal Highness who lost the identity of the three princes, took off this python robe, and stood out from the crowd when he stood out.

It's good to be able to serve such a highness.

The good feeling of the palace maid's heart is rising "Tengteng".

And Xia Yan's eyes shrank slightly.

Very simple...

Several guards actually dared to say things like "the three princes are scared and hide under the queen's skirt", and they also dared to discuss the matter of "the three princes and the prince's winter hunting bet" with great fanfare.

Is it possible?

No way.

If something goes wrong, someone will be a demon.

Who's doing it?

He didn't know.

What is the purpose?

He didn't know.

Why did the prince bet with him during the winter hunt?

He didn't know.

The crown prince is already the prince, and he still comes to bet against him, the prince, what are you doing?

He didn't know.

In addition to that, what kind of big bets did the prince and him make...

He didn't know either.

In short, it is a smear of black eyes, and the black glows and shines.

"When is the winter hunt?" Xia Yan pretended to ask casually.

The palace maid said: "Back to Your Highness, it is the end of next month, the winter hunt, and then take its largest and fattest one, and pay tribute to the great god of the heavens."

The day of the sacrifice is usually the first day of the new year...

At that time, the one who can hold the sword and take the stage must be the prince who has hunted the fattest prey. ”

Xia Yan understood...

Dare to love, this battle of the crown prince is not over yet.

The crown prince thought that his position was not stable enough, so he made an appointment with the third prince, and wanted to completely destroy the possibility of the third prince becoming the crown prince through this hunt.

So, why does the prince think that his position is unstable?

Xia Yan quickly deduced, and according to logic, he quickly came to the conclusion: because... The crown prince is not the son of the queen, but the third prince is.

Looking at the queen's appearance, strong, domineering, mighty, and high, she doesn't look like a woman who will avoid.

How could she possibly put someone else's son on the throne?

But why has it evolved to this point?

The three princes were replaced, and some people hope that the three princes on the bright side will be killed.

Xia Yan asked casually, "How is my father's health?" ”

The palace maid was stunned, she pursed her lips...

The guard chewed the root of her tongue, and she dared to tell the Third Highness secretly.

But the emperor, she didn't dare to talk about it.

Xia Yan thought for a while, and remembered that the palace maid seemed to be called Shuanghua, so he said gently: "Shuanghua, you are a member of His Royal Highness, and no matter where His Highness moves to this palace in the future, he will take you with him and let you continue to serve." ”

This is a direct throw out of a henchman.

However, it is also possible that the frost painting was sent by the queen to spy on him.

It doesn't matter, the scale he uses should also be within the queen's allowable scale.

After all... Everyone is united, he got some information through the palace maid, is there a problem?

Is there one?

No.

Only then did the palace maid Shuanghua say softly: "Your Majesty... He... He hadn't been in court for half a month. The court hangs the curtain to listen to the government, and then it is the mother who collects the folds..."

Xia Yan knew that the "Niangniang" in her mouth was the queen.

This time, he really got it.

This is the battle of the crown princes.

What the queen said in her mouth, "The dark tide has risen, and the wind and rain are coming" should be said to mean that the prince may have a big move.

But is it really that simple?

...

...

Five days later...

Early in the morning, the sound of frost painting's surprise came from outside the Moon Shadow Palace.

"Huh, what's going on? Why did the water of this Taiye Lake fall so much? ”

Not only this place, but also other palaces heard the same surprising voices.

"It's been almost half a meter down, how can it suddenly fall so much?"

"It snowed heavily the other day... The water in the lake should have risen a lot, why didn't it rise but fall? ”

"Look, even the stone lions on the lake wall are exposed."

There was a lot of surprise outside.

Xia Yan was not surprised at all.

He silently glanced at his current state:

[Name: Xia Yan]

Peach Blossom Luck I

Water Spirit Reincarnation I – You drink water from the lake for five nights in a row to reap that luck. You seem to have been born with a different nature of water, and when other children are still cowering and afraid of the river, you can jump directly into the river and swim freely. And when you grow, you can swim in the water like a fish, and it is almost impossible to drown.

In just five days, he had already raised his realm from the first-class to the top.

And he also harvested the second luck - the reincarnation of the water spirit I.

Now, he was sitting in the slightly cold Moon Shadow Palace, which in itself gave people a sense of danger, and if someone stood beside him with their eyes closed, they would think that they were standing next to a fierce tiger that chose to devour people.

His method of ascension is simple...

Actually, luck has already been explained.

Just two words: drink water.

There was no way around it, he considered taking poison, eating rice, eating meat, and swallowing silver, but he gave up all of them.

Where does the poison come from? If you want to go to the palace to withdraw it, the palace needs to be registered, what do you do as a prince to take a lot of poison?

Can you eat so much rice? If you really eat that much, I'm afraid that if you don't eat that much, you will attract the attention of many people another day, and then you will be regarded as a monster.

Stealing rice to eat? It's not that he didn't think about it, but it's a pity ... He didn't succeed, and the rice warehouse in the palace was guarded day and night, so he couldn't get in.

Swallow silver? This... I have to grind it into powder and swallow it... So how do you swallow a chunk?

Therefore, I can only take advantage of the night to be a thief.

However, the other thieves are stealing chickens and dogs, he is... Went to steal the lake.

I didn't sleep in the middle of the night, went to the Taiye Lake in the palace, and went up to swallow the lake water, which was also an impressive experience.

Xia Yan vaguely remembered that at the beginning, he just couldn't help it, and planned to try...... He wasn't ready to succeed, but he tried, only to find that it worked.

Devouring the talent directly exchanged for true qi, and the lake in his belly instantly became empty.

And his open mouth turned into a bottomless pit entrance that absorbs water...

In this way, in just five days, he broke through to the first-class and reached the top realm.
