Zhan Changfeng's voice was calm and unbelievable for her age. Even the questions were read as statements, which contained a bit of power.
She was just bored and asked casually, but the steward next to her kept mumbling, "Your Highness, please put on your cloak quickly. Looking at the snowy scene, if you can tell what is good or bad, how can I explain to the emperor and how to explain to the people?"
, Oh, let’s see, where did the mountains come from? Our imperial city is located on a plain, Your Highness.”
"Presumptuous, you are trying to trick me." She hesitated slightly, pressed her brows down, then relaxed them, feeling slightly depressed.
The star-catching platform is a hundred feet high, standing in the imperial city, pointing to the sky. When looking up, one can pick the stars with one hand and see the mountains and rivers thousands of miles away.
The wind up here is also very strong, mixed with snow, and entangled with the flying gauze curtains, it looks like a wild scene.
When the words fell, a row of chamberlains holding heaters and cloaks all knelt down, shaking in panic, and shouted, "Your Highness, please calm down."
The manager was lying on the ground, with a few grains of snow falling on the black velvet beaded cloud-toe boots in front of him. He suppressed the urge to wipe away the cold sweat and rolled his eyes away from the white jade railing. He thought to himself, his memory for most of his life was correct.
Where do the mountains come from in the Imperial City? Even if there are no mountains within three or four hundred miles outside the Imperial City, there are no mountains.
"Your Highness..." He couldn't figure out what the little ancestor was thinking, so he tried to say, "There are mountains, yes there are mountains. I just made a mouthful. Your Highness, please punish me."
"Don't you think I'm lonely?" The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, but there was no smile, and she was sarcastic and indifferent.
Zhan Changfeng left the manager and looked at the others, "I ask again, what is that mountain called?"
"Your Highness, calm down!" None of the people dared to raise their heads, their faces were almost touching the ground, for fear of making her angry.
Zhan Changfeng had no emotions at all, but this time they made them a little angry. She cast her eyes into the distance and saw a towering mountain. It seemed to be integrated with the heaven and earth, but it existed so clearly in this world.
, you can feel its majestic momentum with just one glance.
It has always been there, from her babbling to reading poetry and essays, from her Weiyang Palace to the emperor's study, and every moment after she opened her eyes.
It was already a part of her life, as ordinary as the bricks and tiles of this imperial city, so much so that she forgot to ask its name.
Who would have thought that just by casually mentioning it now, she would actually tell her that there are no mountains.
So what did she see?
"Zero 3!"
"My subordinates are here." The secret guard disappeared, and Yu responded hoarsely.
"Tell me what that mountain is called."
The wind and snow became heavier and heavier, and the sky and earth were vast and silent.
The always clean and tidy secret guard was a little hesitant now, "Master, there are no mountains in the imperial city."
The steward was frightened and glanced at the Crown Prince secretly. Her expression was unpredictable. She was only nine years old, but even he, who had served her since childhood, could not guess what she was thinking.
"There are no mountains...that means there are really no mountains..."
The loneliness between her brows made the manager startled. Could it be that His Highness was really asking if there were any mountains?
Ouch, don’t hit the evil!
The steward hesitated, "Your Highness, what did you see?"
"Gu..." Zhan Changfeng slightly bent the middle finger of his right hand, his face gradually turned cold, he fluttered his sleeves and robe, "Go back to the palace."
Returning to the palace, Zhan Changfeng had a fever, which caused panic both inside and outside the palace.
The old emperor was more anxious than her mother and concubine. Seeing that his grandson was in coma, he simply moved all the memorials to her Weiyang Palace for review, just to stay by her side and watch over her at all times.
"How can you serve the prince? What's the use of you!" The old emperor was so angry that he was asthmatic. The attendants quickly comforted his chest and called the imperial doctor who was about to leave.
The steward was about to cry but had no tears, "Your Majesty is wronged. Your Highness's illness came on suddenly, but he was fine when he went to sleep."
He thought of something and said in horror, "Your Highness once asked for the name of a mountain, but where did the mountain come from in the Imperial City? Could it be that His Highness has been involved in some evil spirit?"
"When did it happen?"
"Just before the burning," the steward kowtowed and cried, as if the prince was really possessed by evil spirits.
The old emperor was anxious and annoyed when he heard this, "I have issued a decree to summon monks and Taoists to the palace!"
Looking at ancient and modern times, few princes have been so favored by the emperor. Even if they are favored, it is only due to their own talents. Because their mothers and concubines are loved by others, or because they are lovable, etc.
It's just that it's a little different when you come to Zhan Changfeng. The old emperor completely regards her as his lifeblood.
During the eight hundred years of the Yin Dynasty, the old emperor's father's generation had already begun to experience turmoil.
The old emperor was good at painting and writing lyrics, but he was sloppy in politics and military affairs. His biggest expectation in his early years was that his son would grow up soon, so that he could give up his career as soon as possible and devote himself to the mountains and rivers.
Perhaps the Yi family's luck was ruined by the previous generations of wandering emperors, and they had few heirs, with only one male for three consecutive generations.
The old emperor finally gave birth to a son, but the son died of illness before he was seventeen, leaving only one son.
This son is Zhan Changfeng.
The old emperor cried loudly in front of the former prince's soul. This was the only heir to the throne of the Yi family. How should he face his ancestors!
The Yi family is going to have no descendants!
After crying, the old emperor stared at the belly of the former princess. There was still hope, there was still hope, his grandson was still there.
What the old emperor didn't know was that he had no descendants because the current prince was a woman.
I have to mention here that Zhan Changfeng’s mother-in-law, Li Yunqiu.
Li Yunqiu was born into a wealthy family, with hidden literary and military skills. However, the palace was so dense that she could only love her children. When the former prince was buried, she caressed her tall and round belly and sighed. Whether it was for the country, the country, or herself, this child could only
It's a male.
So Zhan Changfeng was born under such circumstances. Before his first loud cry could be heard far, he became the prince and the future emperor of the Yin Dynasty.
The old emperor had hope. He changed his attitude of fishing in troubled waters in the first half of his life and tried to make great efforts. However, the Yin Dynasty's situation was like a sieve, and it could not be repaired in a while.
Alas, it doesn't matter if he can't make up for it, he still has a grandson, and he is still his grandson's grandson.
This is very painful. Zhan Changfeng, twelve months old, happily sat in the arms of the old emperor with his fingers in his mouth and drooling, listening to the civil and military nonsense of the court.
He was forced to read and write at the age of three, read history books at the age of four, be surrounded by scholars from the Qing Dynasty at the age of five and study strategies for governing the world, learn the art of emperors at the age of six, help the old emperor approve memorials at the age of seven, and become a crown prince at the age of eight.
The sign of formality is that she used conspiracy to behead a traitorous official of the Yin Dynasty.
Warm blood rushed up the golden steps, splashed on her black crown, and was drowned in the shouts of "Your Highness is wise."
The snow fell heavier and heavier that day, and when she left the Taiqing Palace and arrived at the Star-Zhaing Platform, she could only see blank white and mountains.
However, that mountain does not exist.
in nothingness
The two children curled up like babies, facing each other honestly, but one was sleeping peacefully and the other was awake.
"My surname is Yi and my name is Zhan. My grandfather gave me the title Changsheng. However, my mother-in-law said that Changsheng was too arrogant, so I chose the small character Changfeng. You are me, so I gave you half of my name. From now on, you are Zhan Changfeng and I am Yi."
Immortality."
Zhan Changfeng caressed the face that was exactly the same as hers, and said in a faint tone, "You don't have to worry about anything..."
