A strange fragrance hits your face, making you feel relaxed and happy.
Xiao Yu sniffed and looked towards the palace door in the direction from which the sound came.
A very beautiful woman, who looked like a goddess descending to earth, walked in with lotus flowers at her feet.
"Sister, why are you here! Come in quickly!" The young emperor suddenly changed from his Shura-like fierceness to that of an ignorant child.
He stepped forward, took the woman's hand and led her into the main hall.
"I'm here to see what ridiculous things you are doing again." The woman frowned slightly. She looked at the blood stains on the hall that had not yet been cleaned and said with an unhappy face, "I don't care about the previous affairs at all. You know how to mess around here.”
"Old Prime Minister Cui and General Wei were responsible for the affairs of the previous dynasty, so nothing could go wrong. Besides, I didn't do anything ridiculous! I just cleared out a group of rebellious officials and traitors." Xiao Yuheng said with a look on his face. He said to the woman obediently, "As for now, I suddenly feel unbearably hungry in my belly. I think I haven't had breakfast yet, so it would be best to get a piece of roasted pork. The Pig King happens to be here, so I thought it would be better to follow him Cut off a piece of meat from your body and roast it to eat, so as to save him from saying that he is willing to die for me all day long, it would be better to have something real."
Hearing this, the woman frowned with the word "Sichuan" between her eyebrows. She knew her brother's temperament, and trying to persuade him with nice words might only be counterproductive.
So she said: "Isn't Your Majesty planning to marry Princess Xuanming of the Kingdom of Wei? Why not raise this pig king for another year and a half, and then use it for the wedding banquet, wouldn't it be better!"
Xiao Ziqian in the pig cage also hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes, I haven't grown that fat yet, I have to raise him again... and raise him again!"
Xiao Yuheng frowned slightly and muttered like a child: "I don't want to marry Princess Xuanming, that ugly monster... I just want my sister by my side."
"Say something stupid again..." Xiao Yuwan said angrily.
Xiao Yuheng's expression suddenly changed again: "I can eat the Pig King's banquet that day! I feel happy thinking about this. Then all the officials in the court can taste the roasted and oily Pig King. Wonderful! Wonderful! It's really wonderful! Ah! Whatever I say is whatever I say!"
The young emperor clapped his hands and was as happy as a child.
Xiao Yu took advantage of the fact that Xiao Yuheng's attention was focused on the woman in front of him, and he took a few more glances at his father who was locked in the pig cage.
I saw Jiangxia Wang Xiao Ziqian's old eyes that had become smaller due to obesity were full of vicissitudes and desolation. He was looking at Xiao Yu eagerly, and what was in his eyes was an indescribable relief. He seemed to see through it at a glance. Xiao Yu's trick at this time.
He nodded at Xiao Yu and smiled, with bitterness and expectation in that smile. That expression only existed on his face for a moment and then disappeared.
Then he no longer looked at Xiao Yu, but turned to look elsewhere, and his small eyes suddenly became dim again.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yu felt an indescribable sadness in his heart.
After two lives, the completely different images of his two fathers flashed through his mind. No matter which father he was, his love for him was the deepest in his heart!
Thinking of this, Xiao Yu's eyes sparkled with tears.
But his body suddenly swayed, and he was pulled by the young emperor and brought to the front of the beautiful woman.
"Sister, look who this is?" Xiao Yuheng asked.
The woman only glanced at Xiao Yu, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on her delicate and pretty face, but the surprised expression disappeared like a meteor on her face.
"If I am not mistaken, this must be Xiao Yu, the crown prince of Jiangxia!" the woman said.
"Sister, you have good eyesight. Didn't you forget that I have already changed his title? He is not the King of Jiangxia, but the Crown Prince of the Pig King." Xiao Yuheng corrected him intentionally.
"Your Majesty, you are fooling around again!" the woman in gorgeous clothes said angrily.
"Sister, you are not joking!" Xiao Yuheng said and turned to Xiao Yu and asked, "Fool, do you recognize my sister?"
She is so beautiful and unparalleled that she must be Princess Yongning. Perhaps she should be called Princess Yongning now.
In Xiao Yu's long memory, Xiao Yuwan, the eldest princess of Yongning, was only thirteen or fourteen years old at that time, but she was already extremely beautiful at that time. It is said that she had a strange fragrance and was the late emperor's favorite apple.
But he couldn't say these words. All he could do was continue to act stupid.
"Sister?"
"I am the emperor's sister, Xiao Yuwan. Does Prince Jiangxia still recognize me?"
The princess Yongning in front of her exhaled like orchid, and the fragrance hit her face, making Xiao Yu feel slightly dizzy.
Xiao Yu gritted his teeth and shook his head like a rattle.
Princess Yongning was seen covering her red lips with her slender jade fingers. She just smiled and stopped looking at Xiao Yu, as if he was really a fool and was not enough to attract the princess's attention.
"Sister, have you had breakfast? I'll have the kitchen prepare my favorite dishes right away."
"Your Majesty is still considerate of me, but the blood here is too heavy. How about moving to Hanguang Hall to have a meal?"
"That's very good! It's just... this fool..." The young emperor looked at Xiao Yu again, his eyes hesitant.
At this moment, Xiao Yu suddenly suppressed a loud fart.
A thick stench mixed with the strange fragrance that filled the hall, and the smell was indescribably pungent.
Xiao Yuheng and Princess Yongning wrinkled their noses at the same time and looked at each other with displeasure on their faces.
"I want to poop!" Xiao Yu said suddenly, holding his stomach. At this time, he really couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Prepare a tribute bucket for Prince Pig, and send him back after the ceremony. I don't want to see him anymore now!"
After the young emperor made this decree, he walked out of the palace with Princess Yongning.
Xiao Yu intentionally or unintentionally caught a glimpse of the beautiful princess smiling meaningfully at him, but this smile made him feel like he was being watched while taking a shower.
When he looked at his father again, King Jiangxia had been taken away by the guards in black along with the other two princes.
…
When Xiao Yu returned to the dilapidated house, the heavy snow had stopped long ago, and the mountains and fields were covered in snow.
When he walked into the broken door with the emperor's reward, Manager Zhao was holding a broken incense burner in the yard and praying to the Sanqing Immortal or Tathagata Buddha.
Several accompanying eunuchs piled various rewards into the courtyard, and then left here like throwing away hot potatoes. It seemed that no one really wanted to spend more time in this shabby house that even mice despised. Stay a while.
On the other hand, Manager Zhao looked at the piles of rewards and grinned from ear to ear with joy.
"It's really God's blessing. I knew that the little prince Jiren has his own destiny. Not only did he have an enlightenment today, but he came back with so many rewards in the blink of an eye. Thank you Sanqing Master, Amitabha!"
Xiao Yu ignored the old servant. He mechanically walked to the broken house in the backyard like a soulless body.
After coming back from the palace, he felt as if his skin had been peeled off. At this time, he just wanted to find a place to relax and sort out his current thoughts.
He lay down on the scratchy old straw mat. There was draft around him, but he didn't care at all.
Fortunately, I now have a mink fur cloak, so I won't freeze to death like before.
He looked at the roof covered with swaying cobwebs and murmured to himself.
Xiao Yu, he is still called Xiao Yu in this world.
In this world, his identity is the prince of Jiangxia in the Daqi Empire, the damn pig prince.
His father used to be a prince with a lot of military power in this empire. That can only be said to be the past. Now he is just a duckweed in prison.
What kind of prince his father was, his long-term memory has been blurred, not to mention that he was still very young at the time, but the majestic appearance of his father riding a horse and drawing a bow seemed to be still vivid in his mind, and everything else was blurry. .
And in the era he lives in now, the Da Qi Empire, what kind of country is this?
I don’t know at which point history has shifted slightly, making this era both strange and familiar...
The Xiao surname of Nan Qi was not replaced by another distant relative named Xiao because of that ridiculous emperor. It continued for who knows how many years.
It is located in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, where civil strife continued, but the emperors of the past dynasties were still bloody. Although it was difficult to defeat the powerful Northern Wei Dynasty, it still grew strong and stubborn.
But these people in my family are not easy to use. Since Emperor Gao, every change of rule will lead to bloody storms and endless internal strife.
The big country in the north with the wolf as its totem kept trying to take advantage of every civil strife in the south to go south. However, after several wars, it saw that it could not gain any advantage and retreated northward like a tide.
After years of competition, the North and the South seem to be in an inexplicable balance, and this balance may be skewed by just a hair.
The most troublesome thing is the vicious circle of internal strife in the Xiao family. This seems to be something engraved in the genes. No matter how wise, mighty or brutal the emperor is, the early and late years of his reign are often spent fighting each other. .
Including the young emperor who is now in power, he has the typical neuroticism of the old Xiao family.
Hey, the more I think about it, the more I get a headache.
Xiao Yu seemed to remember a sage who said, if you can't change him, then overthrow him!
Thinking of this, Xiao Yu felt that his eyelids could not be opened, and he fell into a deep sleep.
The indescribable fragrance seemed to linger in front of him and did not dissipate for a long time.
He did not know that this day was the 13th day of the twelfth lunar month in the third year of Yongfeng in the Southern Qi Dynasty and the 13th day of the twelfth lunar month in the second year of Xiaochang in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
