Seeing the attitude of this group of people, Bai Su knew that today would not end well, but he remained neither humble nor arrogant.

He would fight back against the enemy, but he just stared at every face that showed off its might in front of him, memorizing them in his mind, and the dark ink hidden in his eyes infected his heart.

But before these people could say anything else, Bai Su suddenly felt one of his shoulders sink.

Suddenly, someone came over and squeezed his shoulder soothingly. Then, he said to the Fifth Prince, "I'd like to hear what advice the Fifth Prince has for my friend."

There was a smile on Chen Tian's lips, but anyone who saw his eyes could feel the coldness in them.

Seeing Chen Tian in front of him, the Fifth Prince couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He quickly bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty's Uncle!"

Speaking of the entire Xiling, the fifth prince Situ Chen is most afraid of not his father, but his uncle with a volatile temperament.

Although outsiders may think that Prince Ning Situ Chenye is just an idle prince, he knows privately that his father holds Prince Ning in high regard.

This uncle was the late emperor's son, born in his old age, but the late emperor died only a few years after his birth. However, this child unexpectedly caught the eye of the current emperor, and he was raised by the current emperor, being raised as if he were his own son.

Prince Ning was a brilliant child, and before the age of ten he was even dubbed a child prodigy, a man of both civil and military talents. However, as he grew older, he became obsessed with material things and lost his ambition, ultimately losing his ambition to power.

A few years ago, the emperor seemed to be fed up with Prince Ning's constant traveling around, so he directly ordered him to teach several young princes riding, shooting and martial arts.

Initially, the princes didn't take it seriously. After all, Prince Ning usually appeared to be a carefree and elegant person, a man who loved poetry and wine. But once they began to follow his teachings, they began to understand his harsh nature.

This "teaching" process was truly painful, and they were always beaten like dead dogs. This was not the worst part, as the Emperor's uncle's methods of playing tricks on them were endless, making them miserable.

It's true that their martial arts skills have actually improved a bit, which gives them no reason to complain to their father.

Fortunately, after a few months, the emperor's uncle went to the south of the Yangtze River to travel and blatantly skipped classes. The emperor then arranged new teachers for them.

However, those few short months truly became a shadow in the lives of many princes, and were simply past events that they could not bear to look back on.

Even though several years had passed, the Fifth Prince still felt a little weak in the knees when he saw his uncle.

"I didn't expect that the prince is actually a friend of the emperor's uncle. It was Chen'er who was reckless and said something out of turn. I hope the emperor's uncle and the prince will forgive me."

The fifth prince had no intention of bending rather than breaking. A wise man would not suffer a loss in front of him, not to mention that his uncle could cause him to suffer a great loss, so he hurriedly apologized.

However, even if the fifth prince gave in, Chen Tian didn't intend to let them go so easily.

After hearing 009 gather some information from the conversations of the people around him in the garden, Chen Tian smiled and said, "I heard that after that idiotic poetry gathering of yours, you're going to the training grounds to compete in horseback riding and archery. Is that true?"

The fifth prince nodded when he heard this. He didn't know how his uncle knew about this, but from the tone of the other party, he knew that he was not stupid.

Knowing he couldn't avoid it, Situ Chen quickly said, "Uncle, this poetry gathering isn't that interesting. The martial arts competition in the training ground is more exciting. I wonder if you'd be interested in going with me and giving me some pointers."

Chen Tian nodded, seemingly satisfied with the other party's understanding of the situation. He then turned to look at Bai Su and said gently, "I wonder if the prince would be willing to do me the honor of going with me."

Now, he was truly face to face with Bai Su and could clearly see what his lover would look like in this life.

The current Bai Su is 70% similar to his original soul, except that he is taller and too thin. His handsome features lack a bit of refinement but have a bit more sharpness that comes from the battlefield.

Those familiar large, single-lidded eyes remained unchanged, always the most eye-catching. The slightly upturned corners of his eyes clearly added a touch of charm, but because his pupils were dark ink and his expression was too cold, he seemed somewhat unapproachable.

Those were the eyes he had kissed countless times. Once upon a time, those eyes were always filled with love and tenderness when facing him, filling his uneasy heart and helping him find a home.

No matter how things changed, in Chen Tian's heart, his lover would always be the best. But soon, he noticed a deep scar on the right side of her jaw, hidden by the shadow. Chen Tian's pupils shrank sharply, but he could only quickly collect his thoughts.

Bai Su glanced at the man opposite him with a strange look, nodded, and then bowed before saying in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the invitation."

The slightly hoarse voice was like a feather gently brushing across the man's heart. With a slight movement of his fingers, Chen Tian revealed a gentle smile and made a gesture of invitation to his sweetheart. Then the group headed towards the training ground.

Everyone who was told to go to the training ground felt very nervous, but in fact, Bai Su, who was being protected, was not at peace either.

He turned his head and glanced at Chen Tian's profile, and his body couldn't help but tense up.

It's not like he hadn't seen Prince Ning before. Although they had never met before, he had seen him from a distance a few times in the court. But when they met again, something seemed different.

He knew Prince Ning was handsome, graceful, and dashing, but he had no idea he could be so captivating up close. Just a simple smile from him had sent a tingling sensation through Bai Su's heart and throughout his body.

This feeling was so unfamiliar that Bai Su didn't know how to react for a moment. Fortunately, his concentration was strong enough and he quickly recovered. Seeing Chen Tian deliberately slow down his pace, his heart warmed.

Although he didn't know why King Ning wanted to help him, he was willing to accept his kindness and would keep it in his heart.

Bai Feizhang, who was following behind with everyone else, saw this scene and his face was twisted with jealousy and hatred.

A few days ago, he and his friends hinted to the Fifth Prince that holding a poetry reading at the Autumn Banquet was a good idea. In fact, he wanted to use this opportunity to make a big splash.

For this reason, he had been burning the midnight oil for the past two nights, trying to recall the autumn poems written by the great writers he had learned before his time travel. He wanted to create his own, and he was sure to amaze everyone.

Three years had passed since he'd traveled here, and having painstakingly managed to rise through the ranks of the Marquis's mansion, he'd finally finally found favor with the Fifth Prince, the man of this world, and earned his appreciation. Therefore, he needed an opportunity to shine at the Autumn Banquet and earn a good reputation.

Who would have thought that a few casual words from Prince Ning would disrupt the entire plan.

Bai Feizhang lowered his eyes, trying hard to hide the anger in his heart. He saw that the man who was full of authority before suddenly turned to look at his so-called brother and his expression suddenly became gentle and kind.

How could he not be jealous and hateful?

I really don't understand why Bai Su, who has already become a disfigured cripple, can still gain the favor of the noble.

But so what? The position of the crown prince will be his sooner or later!

After a while, the group arrived at the martial arts training ground.

The palace is mainly a place for entertainment, so of course there are more than just gardens for flower viewing. The so-called martial arts training ground is actually another place for the children of aristocratic families to have fun, and occasionally there are Cuju competitions.

After they stood still, Chen Tian directly told them to form groups and compete in pairs without giving them any rules at all.

After hearing the words from Prince Ning, all the previous rules were naturally overturned. And because it was a sudden decision to hold a poetry meeting, the number of people was small.

Most of the people organizing the poetry gathering had come here, leaving those who had originally known about the event and wanted to participate empty-handed. However, the Autumn Banquet didn't have a set schedule, and the guests all went their own way. Later, when the banquet began, they would return to the Flower Hall.

Chen Tian was the biggest seat in the entire martial arts arena. He pulled Bai Su to the main seat and comfortably watched the group of people fighting. He also asked the people below to prepare fruits and snacks, and he ate happily without paying attention to others, and occasionally fed Bai Su.

Bai Su couldn't refuse, so he could only accept the fruit and snacks offered by the other party and eat them slowly. Occasionally, he would watch with curiosity as the other party personally poured him a cup of tea, and in his heart he sighed that this prince really had no airs at all.

The humble Chen Tian glanced coldly at the fifth prince who was trying to come closer, so the other party had no choice but to sit down in the first seat obediently.

Chen Tian noticed the child constantly stealing glances at him, figuring he might be envious of his food. With a blank expression, he finally found two small bunches of green grapes from a large plate of dark grapes. He then selected a few fruits Bai Su disliked and pretended to have them passed to him by the palace servant.

Situ Chen looked so aggrieved that he dared not say a word, but he had to thank her. After thanking her and eating the grapes, the Fifth Prince's face could not help but wrinkle.

So sour!

When Bai Su saw this scene, a smile appeared in his eyes. He didn't expect that the dignified King Ning had such a childish and interesting side in private.

Not to mention the harmony between Chen Tian and Bai Su, the people in the audience were competing fiercely.

Most of these children from aristocratic families practice martial arts, so this is an opportunity for them to show their abilities. Therefore, they all work extra hard.

After all, whether it was gaining the Fifth Prince's appreciation or being favored by Prince Ning, or getting a few good words from the Emperor, it would only benefit them. Therefore, even Bai Feizhang, who felt that the martial arts competition was vulgar, withdrew.

No matter what, he was from the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion and had practiced martial arts over the years. Furthermore, he felt that as a time traveler, he was a child of destiny. Normally, no one in the Marquis' Mansion could beat him, so his martial arts must be quite good.

But Bai Feizhang overlooked that the servants in the Marquisate would not dare to fight him, and would only pretend to lose to him to curry his favor. However, those who were equal to him, or even more noble than him, would definitely not show mercy.

But no matter how hard they tried, Chen Tian was still bored.

Even though some of these people are descendants of generals, they are not good at martial arts and are totally unimportant.

Chen Tian felt that watching them was like watching a monkey show.

However, after Bai Feizhang, who had previously wanted to plot against his baby, was punched in the nose by a burly man with a panda eye, causing two streams of blood to flow from his nose, Chen Tian changed his mind.

Tsk tsk, so ugly! He's worse than a monkey!
