Volume 1 Chapter 2: Destiny?
The national teacher chuckled: "Why should Your Highness embarrass yourself? The Lingnan area has been a land of smoke miasma since ancient times, and there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants, which is not something that His Royal Highness can endure. β
Chu Yunge didn't get up, just raised his eyes to look at him.
Looking up, you can see the arc outlined by the tail of the national teacher's eyes. This person usually carries a fairy wind bone, no one dares to look at his appearance carefully, and few people know that he has a pair of fox eyes.
He had no consciousness of being in someone else's territory, claiming that she was His Highness, and mocking her for not being able to suffer.
She didn't believe that this person hadn't received the news of his own kingship, if it weren't for the lack of reverence for the princeβ
Chu Yunge's eyelashes twitched slightly, it couldn't be to express closeness and concern, right?
Also, to be able to build a national teacher's mansion in the palace, and let the emperor happily inscribe the three words "Jiuxiao Pavilion" for him, how can he respect a prince who has lost power under the favor?
Chu Yunge lowered his eyes, the hand on the side of the case was slightly raised and rubbed at his temple, and Lingding's wrist bones showed some from the wide sleeves that had slipped down, "Why does the national teacher bother to bend?" Compared with staying in Chang'an, at least there is no need to be involved in life and death in the fiefdom. β
A few days ago, the prince came to visit, and at that time, Chu Yunge was guarding the spirit, and no one in the huge Lingbo Hall reported that the prince had arrived.
Yulan, who was supposed to be guarding the door, didn't know where to go.
Mrs. Ji is dead, and she, the Nine Emperor Princes who are hidden in the harem and grow up in the hands of women, is as transparent as she is in front of the emperor who is obsessed with seeking immortals, and the prince's words are no longer hidden.
"The ninth brother is really beautiful, and the folk saying 'if you want to be pretty and filial' makes sense......"
"Ninth brother, after you build a mansion, the second brother will come to see you more, and you will have to ...... A lot of candlelight and night talks. β
The matter of the murderer opened a breakthrough for her, and she was supposed to lose her sense of existence with the death of Mrs. Ji, and she was summoned by the emperor, and at the same time got the title - King Rong.
It's just that if you stay in the palace of Chang'an, you are still under the prince's sphere of influence.
Under the candlelight, the figure of the young prince was like a light cloud covering the moon, and I don't know how much sorrow he had.
Even the national teacher, who can be regarded as everything, is also soft-hearted - His Highness is still young.
"Your Highness, rest assured, the minister will naturally not let people disturb your purity."
The national teacher Shi Shi came and left quietly.
But Chu Yunge's heart was half relieved.
There was a soft sound, and a figure fell from the darkness.
Chu Yunge didn't move at all, his eyes were half-closed, and he ordered: "Send a letter to the eldest brother - just say that the prince thinks that the ninth brother is going to the fiefdom, and wants to give some treasures and money but is not good at it, so invite the eldest brother to talk about it two days later." β
"Yes."
Someone whispered in response, and then vanished.
Chu Yunge's fingertips were regularly tapped on the table, and there was no trace of fragility left in front of the national teacher.
After all, she was once an adult, and she was already out of grief at this time.
There was no one around, and the corners of her lips hooked: "Destiny? Do you hear that? I don't need a waste that can be counted by the ancients. β
After a short silence, an inorganic mechanical voice sounded: "Host, asking for immortals is a feudal superstition. The luck of this world is controlled by the Heavenly Dao, and it is impossible for a mortal to see through it. β
Chu Yunge: "Oh? Then how do you explain that the national teacher counted your existence when I was ten years old, but you have been silent until now? β
The Mandate of Heaven system is also helpless: "Only the heart of hegemony can awaken me." I didn't expect that the host was born in the emperor's family, and there was a mother who lied about her gender at birth, and she still had no motivation to live under the threat of death since she was a child. β
Chu Yunge: "......"
Chu Yunge coughed lightly: "This is your problem, besides, I don't have the heart to fight for hegemony now, why don't you continue to sleep?" β
She admits that at the time of Madame Ji's death, there was a moment when she wanted to get to that position and make everyone pay.
But soon recognized the reality - the crown prince's position is stable, with the eldest prince on him, and the third prince and others under him, so it will not be her turn to be the smallest and the weakest foreign power.
Fifteen years ago, after Chu Yunge died in a car accident, she traveled to the Jin Dynasty, which was not recorded in this history book, and from the first time she cried, she was guilty of bullying the king.
Mrs. Ji's thought made her change from the ninth princess to the ninth prince.
Guilt made Mrs. Ji's love for Chu Yunge have no bottom line, and Chu Yunge, who had been an orphan all his life, was quickly corroded by sugar-coated shells.
But she was also subtly trying to get Mrs. Ji to give up the idea of competing for that position.
She did it successfully.
Before Mrs. Ji died, their goal had become to live safely and happily in the palace.
After being crowned king, Mrs. Ji cried again, and she could follow Chu Yunge to the fiefdom to be the queen mother. Or directly prevent Chu Yunge from going to the fiefdom and be a free king in Chang'an City.
However, everything came to an end with the death of Madame Ji.
Growing up in the royal family for fourteen years, Chu Yunge almost forgot the modern life in her previous life, and the appearance of the Mandate of Heaven system evoked a trace of nostalgia for her for a long time.
She couldn't help but wonder: "Can you conjure up a radiator?" I'm a little cold. β
Mandate of Heaven System: "......"
The mechanical voice said angrily: "I am the Mandate of Heaven system that assists the traversers to dominate the world, not a treasure of e-commerce!" β
Chu Yunge was bored: "It's not as good as a certain treasure." β
She leaned back, and the cold immortal instantly turned into a lazy beauty: "It's boring, I thought I could go back to Guangdong and live the life I used to have." β
The Heavenly Mandate System was silent for a moment, and the mechanical voice said coldly: "This is the host's choice, since you have chosen to stay away from strife, it will be far away from power at the same time, and away from the convenience brought by the system." β
The thought of not being able to fall into hibernation again, and to be bored for decades without even going online until the host died, its mechanical voice was tinged with frustration: "The host might as well not wake me up." β
Chu Yunge heard a hint of complaint from it.
But she didn't care at all: ha, I don't know where the white prostitution system came from, and if you don't give the horses grazing, you want the horses to run.
The next day, the snow that had been falling intermittently for a month finally stopped, and the long-lost sun shrouded the Lingbo Palace, and a new group of palace people also breathed a sigh of relief.
Mrs. Ji is finally buried, and the Nine Princes will also leave the palace, so they don't have to worry about the Nine Princes raising their swords if they don't like it.
A month has passed, and no one knows the cause and effect of Chu Yunge's forced to kill Lan with his own hands, and the rumors of killing people without blinking are boiling.
Emperor Jin Wen cultivated for a month, but he felt that his body was more healthy, and he was in a good mood when he saw Chu Yunge.
The youngest son is emaciated, only a little flesh is left on his cheeks, he looks pitiful, but there is a lot of admiration in his eyes.
He rose up a trace of love after a long absence: "You really want to go to Jiaozhou?" It's not like Chang'an. β
Chu Yunge pursed his lips and said sullenly: "Erchen remembered that Mrs. Ji once said that lychees come from Jiaozhou, the southernmost part of southern Xinjiang, and the taste is sweet. It's just that the sky is high and no one is urging him, so that his father can't drink freely. β
"Erchen wants to see what kind of place it is, otherwise, it's good to help my father grow lychees."
The filial piety from his youngest son made Emperor Jin Wen can't help but think of Mrs. Ji's gentleness and pettiness, and he has more pity for Chu Yunge.
Emperor Jin Wen: "You have a heart." In this case, your fiefdom will be set in Hepu County, Jiaozhou. β
Although Hepu County is close to the sea, it is sparsely populated, so it is not a good place. It's just that the youngest son wants to grow lychees, and of course he, the father, has to do it.
He immediately asked someone to write down the holy decree, and when he picked up the jade seal, he asked for the last time: "King Rong, are you sure?" β
The little boy looked well-behaved and said, "Father, the son is sure." β
Emperor Jinwen: "Good! β
In contrast to all the princes who rely on Chang'an, the younger son's initiative to stay away from the center of power won his heart.
After saying a few more flattering words and getting some rewards, and saying goodbye to the emperor in advance, Chu Yunge retreated.
Outside the door, the crown prince Chu Yunling was waiting for the summons, and when he saw Chu Yun's singer's holy decree, his eyes narrowed gloomily.
Chu Yunge didn't look at him, Shi Shiran said to the person behind him: "National teacher, what a coincidence." β
The man smiled: "King Rong, you and I are destined." β
