Chapter 74: Destined to miss the throne
That year, he had just entered elementary school and met many children. After school, they stood on the side of the road, eating ice cream that was not available in this world, waiting for their parents to pick them up.
All the children had left, and only he and the teacher standing not far away were looking at the direction where their mother should come.
He knew that his mother was a doctor and often worked overtime, but he still hoped that when other children left school, he could leave with her.
He saw his mother, who was across the road, walking toward him with a smile.
"Mother!"
He shouted loudly and ran towards his mother.
A truck came speeding by. My mother stayed on the spot with her eyes wide open. She wanted to do something, but her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground and she couldn't take a step forward.
He floated in the air and watched as the truck passed by and saw 'him' lying on the ground in a bloody mess.
His mother passed out beside him, and he gradually drifted away, unable to see his mother again.
When he woke up, he was in the body of a baby, the second prince of the Chu Kingdom.
His biological mother is Concubine Li of the Great Chu Kingdom and the concubine princess of the Xiliang Kingdom.
The original body was thrown into the lotus pond by the serving maid. When he was fished out, he was already dead. Empress Li held the cold baby tightly and used her body to warm her son who had lost his breath.
When he opened his eyes, he saw the hot tears falling from the woman in front of him, and he himself shed tears of joy because he was resurrected from the dead.
From then on, he lived cautiously in the palace, witnessed the intrigues in the palace, and also saw the harshness of the world.
In this world where the strong are respected, only when you are strong can you avoid being bullied.
He has been following Emperor Liu's side since he was a child, practicing literature and martial arts day and night. His literary talent is unparalleled among the Chu, he knows the way of governing the country, is proficient in eighteen kinds of weapons, and is very good at arranging troops and forming formations.
If he had a powerful mother clan, he would be the perfect candidate for the crown prince of Chu.
Just because he is the son of Concubine Li, and his mother's family is the royal family of Xiliang, he is destined to miss the throne. No matter how outstanding he is, his father will not give him a second look.
Even Liu Yunyao had a crush on him and wanted to marry him. Just because he was Concubine Li's son, Emperor Liu couldn't give up his connections in the court to a useless prince, so he cut off Liu Yunyao's love.
He secretly developed his power and secretly won over the courtiers, but he was still no match for the third prince's status as a legitimate son.
The father made plans for the third prince very early on, and gave the third prince Qin Fengwan, the powerful eldest daughter of the Duke of Qin, in marriage, to help him ascend to the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Plan in the future.
Who would have known that the third prince would break off his marriage to Miss Qin on the day of their wedding. The father was afraid that other princes would take the opportunity to marry into the Duke of Qin's palace, so he hurriedly married Miss Qin to Prince Li to put an end to the other princes' thoughts.
He felt that the opportunity had come. King Li would die soon. When King Li passed away, could he marry the Qin family? Relying on the strength of Duke Qin, he could also compete with other princes on the road to the throne.
?
It was said that Miss Qin was a loser, but he didn't mind it. He was doing it for Duke Qin's army, not marrying the one he loved.
He misses the past world, where he could live a carefree life under the wings of his mother. He could sing and play carefree with his friends and grow up happily.
Although he knew he could never go back and never see his confident, arrogant and energetic mother in that world again, he still had the same dream every night, in which his mother looked confident and arrogant.
The first time he saw Qin Fengwan, he felt that she was different. Her arrogance and confidence reminded him of her former mother.
He knew that this was impossible. Not everyone could use other people's bodies to resurrect corpses like him.
He was still curious, and he still wanted to pay attention to everything about this woman.
This woman was nothing like the one in the legend. She could easily catch his eye every time he saw her. This was not the reaction he should have.
Emperor Liu stroked his long beard and motioned Qin Fengwan to sit on the low stool below. He also sat cross-legged and turned to greet the wise king, "Your Highness, let's sit down and talk."
His Highness the King Xian put down his cup, calmed down, and sat cross-legged next to Master Liu with a smile, facing Qin Fengwan.
Qin Fengwan bowed his thanks and sat cross-legged opposite the two of them.
Master Liu Di began to talk eloquently, starting from various schools of thought, to playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and then to bowing, horse riding and shooting.
Although the formation of troops was just talk on paper, it showed that Master Liu was very knowledgeable and had a wide range of knowledge. Fortunately, Qin Fengwan was also familiar with ancient and modern times and was not stumped by Master Liu's questions.
The wise king Chu Mingyu looked like he was listening, with no ripples on his face. In fact, his heart was already ups and downs.
The woman sitting in front of her, with her confident and flamboyant appearance, has a stunning face and charming outline, as if carefully carved by a master sculptor, and every stroke and every stroke is just right and stunning.
Especially the refined and spotless aura about her, like a nine-day fairy left behind in the mortal world.
He sent people to investigate her for a long time, and found out that she was nothing but a piece of trash, uneducated, arrogant and domineering.
In his opinion, it is a fact that Qin Fengwan is arrogant. If Qin Fengwan is associated with a loser, then the person speaking is not only blind, but also talking nonsense.
He even suspected that Qin Fengwan's previous rumors were deliberately spread by Mrs. Qin, and her purpose was unknown.
But now, why did Qin Fengwan shine so brightly and dazzlingly all of a sudden?
Seeing Qin Fengwan right in front of her eyes, unobstructed or blocked, as if everything about her was displayed in front of the world. In fact, no one understood her. It was like the previous Qin Fengwan suddenly disappeared, and now Qin Fengwan,
Airborne landings usually come suddenly.
Chu Mingyu looked at the expression on Qin Fengwan's face, and after listening to Qin Fengwan's words, he pursed his lips tightly and remained silent.
Liu Mo came in to pour tea and then left.
The Imperial Master is teaching here, and he is not qualified to listen with the students.
Qin Fengwan was not disturbed by Liu Mo and answered Master Liu seriously, which made Master Liu even more happy and comforted.
The disciples he fell in love with, all of them who did not follow his teachings, eventually became the pillars of the country.
Soon it was noon, and Liu Mo came in to ask Master Liu where the lunch was.
"Just move lunch here, I want to eat with Fengwan!"
Liu Mo was stunned.
This was the first time in the world. He was silent, and before turning to leave, he secretly looked at Qin Fengwan.
He didn't see anything special about the woman in front of him, except that she had an unknown flower on her face compared to other women.
The wise king Chu Mingyu was also stunned. Even he had never had the opportunity to have a meal alone with Emperor Liu.
