Chapter 10 Heating
The fifth younger brother's kite got stuck in a tree, and Chi Jinnian climbed up to pick it up. He saw a group of people walking towards them. It was the empress who always had a bad face and the crying seventh prince.
He was sitting on a tree, with one hand propped up on the trunk, poking his head out silently.
The Seventh Prince covered his face with his chubby little hands, crying so hard that the Empress actually squatted down and put her arms around him.
"Qi'er, don't cry."
"The second prince is just a concubine, you are the concubine, why are you jealous."
The Seventh Prince put down his hands, his big eyes were red from crying,
"But Emperor Father said that he would be sent to Youtong to practice, and he would lead troops to fight in the future..."
"When he comes back, will he be the prince?"
The queen smiled, and wiped away the tears on the child's face with a handkerchief, her voice was haughty and determined,
"Don't worry, Qi'er, your father and the empress have personally said that the prince can only be the son of the empress."
"As for Chi Jinnian's favor, but your father intends to push him to a high place, and eat all the open and dark arrows for you, so that you can grow up safely."
"When he conquers the southern region for your father, the future world will be yours."
"Your father treats him harshly. Look at the injuries he suffered from practicing martial arts all over his body. How painful it is."
"The death of your elder brother is a thorn in the heart of the queen mother and the emperor father," the queen caressed the face of the seventh prince,
"We don't want you to suffer these pains, so we let him bear them for you."
The Seventh Prince immediately suppressed his tears, smiled like a flower, and took the Queen's hand and left, but the scarred palm of the man on the tree was clenched tightly, tears streaming down his face, and he insisted on not making a sound.
It turned out that he was just a target for arrows.
Those favors, those honors were just temporary pretense put on him, and they didn't value him at all, let alone talk about the truth.
---------
"My lord."
Chi Jinnian opened his eyes and saw a soft face, holding a close-fitting veil in his hand, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
The thorn of memory is still buried in the bottom of my heart, but suddenly it doesn't hurt so much.
"Woke up so early."
Chi Jinnian grabbed his hand and held it in his palm, and said something softly.
"My lord is having a nightmare too." The little boy's eyes dodged for a moment, but one hand subconsciously rested on Chi Jinnian's chest, "Dream..."
He sighed lightly, but finally didn't ask.
Chi Jinnian is a prince, what qualifications does he have to ask, and what position does he use to ask.
Chi Jinnian lifted the quilt and sat up, took the handkerchief from Ruan Yuan's hand and wiped his forehead, then tucked the quilt back for Ruan Yuan.
"You go on sleeping, I'm going to take a shower."
"It's cold, put on the quilt."
---------
"Don't trouble your second brother with everything, learn to be self-reliant."
The imperial concubine pulled the kite from the Fifth Prince's hand, "He needs to pick up a kite, how can you grow up relying on him so much?"
The fifth prince's small face was full of doubts, "Second brother is my own brother, why can't I rely on him?"
"Even if he troubles him, troubles him for the rest of his life, he won't blame me."
The noble concubine's pupils trembled, and she subconsciously clenched the fifth prince's sleeves, "If one day, he's gone."
"At that time, if you were not a man, what would Concubine Mu do?"
The fifth prince opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Will the second brother die? He is so good at martial arts, how could he die?"
"Who can say anything about the future." The imperial concubine's eyes dimmed, and her voice became softer.
At this time, a person came out from the corner, even though he was not yet an adult, his demeanor was beyond comparison.
"What can't be said, you knew early on that this was a fire pit."
"Everything I own now will belong to the Seventh Prince in the future. When I die, he will be able to sit back and enjoy the success and own the country."
"And you, my biological mother, just pushed me in like this, and then pinned all your hopes on Fifth Brother."
"I don't know how many years it will take to come back to Youtong. I wish you all your wishes come true. After all, the status I bought with my life... must be cherished."
As Chi Jinnian said, his eyes were filled with tears of pain, and his fists were clenched tightly. He just stood there and looked at the woman for a while,
Only then did he turn around and disappear into the darkness, leaving a determined and lonely figure behind.
At the age of 14, he grew up suddenly like this, with the thoroughness of seeing the ending, and the sadness of being abandoned by his parents.
----------
The mist rose, and the man sitting in the bathtub closed his eyes, letting the mist turn into water droplets on his face, expressionless.
Suddenly footsteps approached, he opened his eyes, and saw a slender figure in the haze, holding a wooden bucket full of water, with long hair hanging down, and a thin shirt dangling on his body.
He watched Ruan Yuan pour hot water into the tub, some strands of his long hair were wet and stuck to his fair neck, he thought something in his heart, and said in a deep voice,
"It's good to let the servants do this kind of thing, why do you have to do it yourself."
Ruan Yuan put the bucket beside him, met his eyes through the mist,
"After all, the concubine is also awake."
Chi Jinnian smiled, reached out and grabbed his arm and pulled it violently, and the man entered the bath with his clothes on.
"You are cute now."
"Tell me what you want to ask."
The little boy subconsciously grabbed the clothes on his body, but it was already wet, and it stuck tightly to his smooth body, his cheeks flushed,
"My lord, why... for me... against so many people."
Chi Jinnian pulled him over, wrapped him in his arms, brushed his wet long hair to one side with one hand, lowered his head and kissed his neck on the other side,
"That's a good question."
After finishing speaking, he raised his face amidst the beating of the man's heart, met those eyes that were so clear that they could purify everything, then opened his mouth to enclose his lips, and swallowed a piece of ambiguous water mist into his mouth .
Clasping the back of the young master's head with one hand, the more turbulent the memories, the deeper the kiss, as if wanting to rub him into her body.
"Because we are all born to be used by our parents."
"So you and I, keep each other warm."
----------
"Master! Master is not good!"
A childish-looking little boy pushed the door open and entered the room panting. The white robe on his body was slightly loose, and it flew up with his steps.
I saw him "whoosh" running to kneel down in front of the sitting white-haired priest, his body trembling slightly:
"Brothers said that there is a vision in the picture, please ask Master to go and have a look!"
The priest slowly opened his eyes, and asked calmly:
"What is the vision?"
The little Taoist priest was still out of breath, apparently galloping all the way here.Nervously, he wiped his sweat with his sleeve, as if he was afraid that the master would not come, he said in a begging tone:
"Suddenly there are four bright spots on the picture, but they have never been seen by the seniors. I beg the master to go and have a look!"
"Four bright spots?" The Taoist frowned, his expression much more serious than before, "Could it be..."
He stood up and followed the little Taoist priest, the two hurriedly walked.
The little Taoist felt even more uneasy. After all, the master had always been calm and composed, as if nothing could escape his eyes, but now he was really anxious.
Speaking of the Yongqing Pavilion, it is located on the Sanqing Mountain. People say that the pavilion is full of immortals from the sky, who know everything about astronomy and geography.
There is also a treasure map bestowed by God in the pavilion. This map is ever-changing, but it can reveal the opportunities of the world.
The Taoist priest and the little Taoist priest opened the door, and all the disciples were already waiting inside.
Seeing the Taoist priest coming, all the disciples hurriedly saluted, but the Taoist priest went straight to the treasure map.He took a closer look, and his brows became more and more wrinkled.All the disciples lowered their heads and dared not speak when they saw that his expression was not good.
After a long time, he opened his mouth and said:
"It seems... these four stars finally met..."
The little Taoist hurriedly asked: "Master, what is four stars?"
The Taoist sighed and said slowly:
"These four stars are four people who are related to the situation of the world. Now that the four stars appear together, it means that these four people have met each other."
"Then is this a good omen or a bad omen?" The little Taoist became a little nervous.
The priest closed his eyes, shook his head and said:
"Four stars appear at the same time, good and bad are unpredictable..."
He sighed and continued:
"Good or bad luck depends on the positions of the four stars. The Tianhong star and the Tianhuang star should be in the same line, and the Dixuan star and the Diyu star should be in the second line."
"If the position of the four stars is like this, it means that the heaven and the earth will keep their own way, complement each other, the world will be unified, and the monarch and the people will be of one mind."
He paused for a moment, and all the disciples also held their breath and concentrated, not daring to make a sound, only listening to him say in a solemn tone:
"If the four stars change their positions, the world will be in chaos, and the people will be devastated. I'm afraid there will be a catastrophe..."
Everyone was terrified.
After the Taoist finished speaking, he stared at the picture seriously, his face getting worse and worse, and after a while he said with a livid face:
"This Tian Hong Xing is now a little closer to that Di Xuan Xing..."
"20 years ago, the immortal descended to the earth to reincarnate and disturbed the three-life spectrum. There are really endless troubles."
