Chapter 20 Emperor Ming

Autumn, the second year of Zhongxing.

sunny.

The sunflowers in the yard are blooming brilliantly, their branches and leaves swaying in the wind in the sunshine.

The sea turtle on the roof flapped its wings and kept making excited cries as it looked at the maturing sunflower seeds.

Next to it, there is a big golden bird.

It looked like an eagle or a roc, but Su Chen didn't recognize it either.

It was brought back by Hai Dongqing half a year ago. Since then, it has been inseparable, sleeping and flying together. It seems that it has found a companion.

Every time they come here, they still bring some strange things, including fruits, fish and shrimps. After all, gold and silver are still rare.

Su Chen didn't expect to make a fortune from this, he just kept them for fun and to relieve his boredom.

Anyway, there isn't much else in this Kuiyuan, but there are plenty of sunflower seeds.

"Just call me if you want to eat. Don't peck at the sunflowers in the yard. They haven't matured yet and are ruining things."

Su Chen sprinkled two handfuls of sunflower seeds in the yard and let the two birds peck at them.

I went to the lounge chair next to me. The sun was nice today, so I would like to lie down and rest for a while.

Compared to when I first arrived here, Kwai Yuan has actually changed a lot.

The yard was replanted with blooming sunflowers, as if surrounded by a sea of ​​flowers, finally bringing some life to this cold place.

At least it looks like the flowers are fragrant and the birds are singing, and it feels like a paradise.

The gloomy mood of the past is no longer there.

In this environment, the mood of reading is much better.

In the past year, Chu State has also undergone considerable changes.

After Emperor Ming ascended the throne, because he was still underage, all military and political affairs were decided by the eldest princess.

After taking power, she indeed showed extraordinary ability to govern the country.

He worked hard to govern, carried out drastic reforms, balanced the rights of military attachés, and promoted scholars from the gentry to positions of power. This was able to barely reverse the Chu State's tendency to overemphasize martial arts and neglect literature.

For a time, the status of domestic scholars has been greatly improved.

Even the emperor's children in the palace would occasionally come to the library to sit and sit. Even if they didn't really want to read, they would at least show an attitude of being eager to learn.

Many people come to Kwai Yuan to read.

But the eldest princess who walked out of here never came back once.

I don’t know whether it’s because the state affairs are really busy, or because she doesn’t want to return to the prison where she has lived in seclusion for ten years.

Jingle Bell--

The crisp ringtone interrupted Su Chen's thoughts.

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged eunuch wearing a blue robe walked in. Seeing Su Chen still lying on the chair, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious and walked over with small steps.

He said, "Eunuch Su, what time is it, and you still have the heart to bask in the sun here!"

After Eunuch Li died, Su Chen naturally became the eunuch in charge of Kuiyuan. Although the department was deserted, the position was not low in rank.

In addition, he had served the eldest princess before.

Therefore, even the people from the Department of Internal Affairs did not dare to be too bossy when they saw Su Chen.

"It's Eunuch Chen, what's wrong?"

"Don't ask so many questions, and hurry up and tidy up. A noble person is coming later."

Is someone coming again?

Su Chen was a little depressed.

What annoyed him the most was the children of the princes. In fact, few of them really liked reading. Most of them just joined in the fun and came to Kwai Garden to make a gesture.

"Don't worry, Eunuch Chen, I will clean the library every day. I won't neglect you..."

"It's different this time..."

When Mr. Chen was about to explain, a luxurious carriage had already stopped at the gate of the courtyard.

Immediately afterwards, surrounded by several eunuchs and guards, a young man walked out of the carriage.

He looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, and still looked very immature.

Wearing a light yellow silk robe, she has handsome features and good temperament, but her face is a little pale and she looks a little feminine.

When Eunuch Chen saw the man coming in, he quickly stepped forward and was about to kneel down and salute.

The young man glared at him.

The latter immediately woke up and quickly bowed down instead of daring to speak.

"I'm here today, just for a casual look in the library. No need to make any announcement. You don't need to wait on me. Please step aside."

After saying that, he waved his hand.

There were accompanying eunuchs who led him into the library. Immediately afterwards, the guards outside the door followed him in and dispersed to prevent anyone from approaching the library.

"What a big battle."

Su Chen was secretly surprised.

You know, this is the palace. Ordinary palace children come to Kuiyuan to study. Why do they need so many guards accompanying them?

Think again of Eunuch Chen’s previous actions.

The identity of this young man seemed to be revealed.

"This Emperor Ming is actually younger than I thought. However, with his status, if he wants to read a book, someone will take the books from the four treasuries and send them to the imperial study. Why do you need to come in person? The little emperor

I came to Kwai Garden in a low-key manner today, probably not to read..."

Su Chen thought secretly.

Soon, he saw a figure moving by the window of the study room on the second floor, as if he was looking for something.

Sure enough, are you here for the eldest princess?

Su Chen secretly shook his head.

Since ancient times, there have been no two masters in the country. As long as you sit in that position, who is willing to be a puppet?

But he didn't expect that the little emperor had only been on the throne for more than a year, and he seemed to be unable to bear it anymore.

I’m still a little out of sorts!

"The eldest princess is now so powerful that she has everything under her control. The actions of the little emperor are probably under the supervision of the other party. He is still too immature. Do you think that fighting for power is just a child's play? With his current foundation

, I guess I won’t be able to make any big waves in a short period of time..."

Think of this.

Su Chen stopped paying attention, turned around, and returned to his room.

He had no intention of getting involved in these imperial power struggles, and he didn't have much interest in paying attention.

It doesn't matter who becomes the emperor, as long as you don't implicate yourself.

He just wants to practice quietly and become stronger, strive to reach the innate realm of martial arts as soon as possible, and have a certain degree of freedom and strength. Only then can he consider the layout and prepare for entering the real world of immortal cultivation in the future.

"I originally planned to try to crack the immortal machine arsenal today, but I didn't expect the little emperor to come. There are many people out there, so in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, I'd better wait until they leave first."

Su Chen has never had any idea of ​​being in the limelight, and he has no interest in burning a cold stove or hugging someone's thighs.

If the chess game is solved later and some strange phenomenon occurs, and the little emperor is watching, it will be troublesome.

He had refused the invitation from the eldest princess, not to mention not wanting to get involved with the little emperor.

Anyway, I have been preparing for so long, and I don’t care about this moment.

So I simply sat by the window and played chess by myself to kill time.

PS: Let me explain, there was a slight lack of consideration before, which caused unnecessary speculation and association among the brothers, so I revised the last part without affecting the plot and reading. Finally, the big brothers will vote for you. If you like it, you can vote every day.

I read the latest chapter and read it to decide on the follow-up recommendations. I don’t want to be raised to death, so pitiful...
Chapter completed!
