Li Yunqiu looked at Li Chonghua with guilt and worry in his eyes, and explained softly, "You and Zhan are twins, but you were dying when you were born and could not survive. In addition, the situation was threatening, so the Yi family must have an heir, so
..."
So Zhan Changfeng was left in good health and Li Chonghua's existence was concealed.
After all, twins are a bad thing. For the future emperor's resume, there is no need for Li Chonghua to exist.
But she was also pleasantly surprised. No matter how frail and sick he was in the past few years, he was now standing in front of her alive and in high spirits.
Li Chonghua was not stupid. When he realized that he had been abandoned, he felt a little resentful, "Then why didn't you recognize me until now?"
After saying this, he felt even more uncomfortable. If Li Hao hadn't revealed the truth, she wouldn't have recognized him at all.
That's right, the prince is so outstanding, compared with him, what is worthy of attention?
The child's thoughts were written on his face. Li Yunqiu sighed, feeling complicated in his heart, "It's not that I don't recognize you, it's just that I haven't recognized you yet."
"Do you know how many people want to kill the prince? You and the prince cannot have trouble at the same time, otherwise, the Yin Dynasty will be completely over."
Li Chonghua seemed to understand but not quite.
Li Hao understood the meaning, "Your mother-in-law is thinking about your safety and leaving a bloodline for the Yi family."
He asked Li Yunqiu again, "But don't you plan to tell His Majesty that he has a grandson? If Your Majesty and the Crown Prince are both good and bad at the same time, how can you prove Chong'er's identity?"
Li Yunqiu trusted this brother and handed Li Chonghua over to him. However, only she and the manager who had been taking care of Zhan Changfeng's daily life knew that Zhan Changfeng was a girl.
It is always said that people's hearts are fickle.
Li Mao's revelation of Li Chonghua's identity seemed to her to be deliberate.
Li Yunqiu clearly knew that he wanted to do something big, but unfortunately, the Anguo Palace had been gradually withdrawn by the emperor from the military power since the last two generations, and now it only holds a title.
Compared with the estranged prince's nephew, how could he be so close to his "son" who he raised himself?
Li Yunqiu more or less guessed what he was thinking, but he didn't reveal it, "I will find an opportunity to talk to His Majesty."
It's just Li Yunqiu's worries that no one knows about.
If it were just to have one more grandson, it would not be a big deal. After all, the current crown prince's status was unshakable.
But if the old emperor knew that the prince he worked hard to cultivate was a girl, would this new grandson be the only grandson?
However, Chonghua is the real prince after all, and this cannot be concealed.
Li Yunqiu planned to let him learn more from Zhan Changfeng before he came of age, and then tell His Majesty his identity after he made some achievements.
Li Yunqiu arranged for him to be Zhan Changfeng's companion, partly because he wanted the two of them to be closer together, so that they would correct their identities and avoid fratricide. She also hoped that Zhan Changfeng would be able to assist him.
Secondly, Zhan Changfeng, as the prince on the surface, can help him avoid the dangers of assassination and cross-examination.
Thirdly, with Zhan Changfeng Zhuyu in front of him, Li Chonghua, who is still a child, may not be able to win His Majesty's favor, so he must at least wait until he matures, which is also a training for him.
The fourth chapter, as a companion reading, allows him to experience the emperor's systematic training of the prince, which is a good thing for his future.
"You have to remember that you are the emperor's grandson, and the world has half of you, but you can't let anyone know your identity yet, because you are the Yi family's trump card." Li Yunqiu said to Li Chonghua.
Li Chonghua heard it was a bit exciting. It turned out that he was just like those two people, and one day in the future, he could become such a person!
After uncovering this paragraph, Li Yunqiu thought of the reason why he was crying, "Why doesn't the prince let you be his companion?"
Li Chonghua, na na, in a blink of an eye he remembered that he was the prince's elder brother/younger brother, and suddenly felt that there was nothing to be afraid of.
"I woke up late in the morning, so people disliked me and told me not to go there in the morning."
No need to go there in the morning?
How can that be done?
The prince's military and political studies and the knowledge taught by the emperor were all concentrated in the morning. In the afternoon, he just practiced riding and shooting and went to Tongzi Pavilion. If he didn't have to go there in the morning, what would Li Chonghua study?
"I will tell the prince personally."
Li Chonghua let go of his courage and muttered, "It's good not to go in the morning, but I don't understand it anyway."
And I got up too early, it was not even bright yet.
The tea cup was placed heavily on the table, and Li Yunqiu said sternly: "You have to understand even if you don't understand. You must do better than her."
Li Chonghua was startled and did not dare to speak.
Tibetan Scripture Pavilion
Zhan Changfeng casually pulled out a few ancient books from the bookshelf to read, but he became restless and paced back and forth. Finally, he dropped the books and went up the stairs into the secret room.
Regardless, she wanted to know more.
The things recorded in the secret room are very complicated, including historical facts, mystical stories, and biographies of certain emperors.
Zhan Changfeng read through the past books one by one, and one of them was actually the handwritten notes of the founding emperor of the Yin Dynasty.
What is described in it is a man named Wu Xingshan.
Wu Xingshan was a famous general in history who assisted the founding emperor to unify China.
In the handwriting of the founding emperor, there are detailed records of how the monarch and his ministers met and knew each other, and also recorded the differences between the two in their attitudes towards the people, which led to Wu Xingshan hanging up his crown at the founding banquet and never being seen again.
The founding emperor did not feel that he was at fault. Only by dumbing down the people would it be more conducive to rule. But his words were also full of regrets for Wu Xingshan's departure.
In addition, according to Zhan Changfeng's account of the founding emperor, Wu Xingshan is very mysterious and powerful, not an ordinary person.
At the end of the letter, the founding emperor said: The shaman is a stranger, and he offers the Dragon Armor Divine Medal to help me become a dragon. If future generations want to destroy Yin, my successor can be found to fight against the national calamity.
What to look for and how to look for it?
Zhan Changfeng turned over the notebook a few more times, and suddenly his fingertips paused.
When we left the Sutra Pavilion, it was already dark. The steward came forward and said, "Your Highness, Madam, please come and have dinner."
Zhan Changfeng was surprised, "I came here twice in ten days, which is a bit frequent."
The manager didn't know whether she was flattered or sarcastic, so he could only sneer, "Your Highness, Madam will miss you."
He quickly glanced at her and favorably favored Li Chonghua, "Master Li also wants to apologize to you. You don't know that Master Li thought you disliked him, and he was so frightened that he cried."
Zhan Changfeng was confused, "Why are you crying?"
The manager didn't explain too much, so as not to annoy her, and it was enough for the message to be conveyed.
When Zhan Changfeng arrived at Yongxiu Palace, he first glanced at Li Chonghua, his eyes were smiling and his brows were proud, but he did not look like he had cried.
Well, I dare to look at her directly.
This is a Hongmen Banquet, Zhan Changfeng thought casually as he sat on the seat.
Zhan Changfeng blocked the dishes brought by the palace servants with a calm voice.
"As a companion, he was waiting in front of my palace at the right time. He didn't say anything about being late. He also learned how to complain, eh?"
After Li Chonghua knew his identity, the first time he saw Zhan Changfeng, he looked at his brother carefully and found with some disappointment that he was not similar to her.
In terms of appearance alone, I am delicate and gentle, while the prince is handsome and eye-catching. Even if he doesn't show any expression, he still has a superior aggressiveness.
At this time, she raised the end of her slender eyes and looked at her with a very powerful single tone. She was so frightened that Li Chonghua froze his hand holding the jade chopsticks. For a moment, the confidence he had gained due to his identity was knocked away.
It's all over the place.
Li Yunqiu noticed the change in his mentality. How could he allow Zhan Changfeng to become more powerful? He said in a colder tone, "As a prince, be sure to be broad-minded. He only made a mistake once, so he won't forgive others?"
"Concubine, what are you thinking about?" Zhan Changfeng's attitude became colder, "Gu's decision will not change."
"It's getting late. Concubine, please take a rest early."
Zhan Changfeng didn't want to argue with her, so he stood up and left the table.
