Yan Cheng looked left and right and found that there was no room for him to participate anywhere, so he picked up his pen and started drawing.
Not to mention that this royal manor is different from ordinary manors. Take the flowers growing on the ground and planted in pots. Although not all of them are rare species, they are all expensive and beautiful.
The lifelike rockery next to it contrasts with the lush green trees, and the green below is set off by colorful flowers.
Without paint, Yan Cheng could only roughly use a brush to outline the magnificent scenery, but with his painting skills, the paintings he created with just a few casual strokes also had a unique flavor.
After making a few rough strokes and trying to fill in the details of the painting, I heard cries of surprise one after another in the garden, one louder than the other.
The space in the garden was very large, and everyone was standing very far apart. Even if there were voices, they would not be very obvious, so Yan Cheng was still able to paint carefully.
Suddenly a quarrel broke out, and Yan Cheng was disturbed. He thought that gossipers were everywhere. He heard many people mentioning one person. While thinking about the deeds of the Prince of Chu, he looked up at the entrance to the garden.
The Crown Prince of Chu was also the only son of the King of Chu. His biological mother died early, and his father married his stepmother when he was three years old.
He fell into the water at the age of four and almost died. He contracted an illness at the age of five but luckily survived. He encountered a wolf at the age of six, leaving three scars on his neck. He was kidnapped at the age of seven but luckily escaped. He went to his uncle's house at the age of eight and lived with his uncle until he was thirteen.
At the age of thirteen, he went to Beijing and entered the Imperial Study. He was intelligent and sharp, had excellent academic performance, was kind and gentle, and had countless friends.
After going through the things about the Prince of Chu in his mind, Yan Cheng also saw the Prince of Chu himself in reality, and couldn't help but flutter the black butterfly wings on his eyelids.
How to say it, Yan Cheng felt that the Prince of Chu looked a little familiar, so he flipped through the thick memory picture book again to confirm that he was not just familiar, but had really seen him before.
In three years, the height of the Prince of Chu changed a lot, but his face did not change much. It can be said that he grew up proportionally.
Three years ago, outside the Buddhist temple in Yulin Prefecture, the Prince of Chu stood at the golden door of the hall and looked down. He stood on the steps and looked back and up. They both saw each other's faces clearly.
He turned out to be the prince of Chu.
Seeing the handsome young man who came in first looking from the far left as if he was looking for someone, Yan Cheng shook off the dried brush and didn't take it to heart.
Although he remembered the Prince of Chu with his excellent memory, others might not remember him.
He is not a celebrity, so why would the noble Prince of Chu waste his brain capacity on him?
Now that I think about it, the reason why the Prince of Chu appeared in Yulin Prefecture three years ago was probably because he was going to pick up Master Huineng, who was the abbot of Jiyuan Temple at that time, to go to Beijing together.
Everyone said that Master Huineng was an enlightened person who could see into the past and present, predict good and bad luck, and calculate people's fate. The seventh prince had been ill for a long time and the imperial physician was unable to cure him. Emperor Jingxi could only turn his attention to talented people.
Three years ago, I heard that Master Huineng was in Jiyuan Temple, so I specially ordered people to take Master Huineng to Kaiyuan Temple in the capital when they met the Prince of Chu. After all, Master Huineng was originally from Kaiyuan Temple.
After Master Huineng came to the capital, Emperor Jingxi took the seventh prince to Kaiyuan Temple many times to discuss Buddhism with him, but the seventh prince was still weak and sickly.
Until a year ago when Dr. Jiang cured the Seventh Prince, Emperor Jingxi never took the Seventh Prince to Kaiyuan Temple again. However, the people in the capital heard that the Seventh Prince was a Buddhist and often went to Kaiyuan Temple in private to discuss Buddhism with Master Huineng.
Yan Cheng sat there thinking about things. He didn't think that the arrival of the Prince of Chu had anything to do with him. Anyway, he was in a remote place and the Prince of Chu probably wouldn't notice him as a small follower.
Yan Cheng has a habit that he developed accidentally, which is somewhat related to Leng Yan.
Because Leng Yan has always been inseparable from him over the years, and he trusts Leng Yan very much. When Leng Yan is around, he always feels full of security, and it is easy for him to empty his mind when thinking about things.
Just like now, the appearance of a prince of Chu made him think a lot, from the past to the present, from disappearance to big events.
When a shadow loomed in front of him, Yan Cheng was thinking about the rumors about the Prince of Chu in the capital during this period.
The people in the capital all said that Emperor Jingxi favored the Prince of Chu far more than his own sons. He often gave the Prince of Chu gifts and often ate with him. This was a treatment that other princes did not have.
Thinking of the King of Chu who was leading his army to fight against the Nanyou army far away in the southwest border, he felt that all this was done for the King of Chu and for the people of the world to see.
Look, the King of Chu is fighting on the border, and I am taking care of his children in the capital. What a kind and considerate emperor I am.
As long as you serve me well, I will treat your families well.
Tsk——
The political tactics of those in power.
Just like the darkness that can never be removed under the sun.
Um?
Why is it really dark in front of my eyes?
Just as something else squeezed into his empty brain and his scattered vision just focused, he saw a boy who was more than half a head taller than him looking at him in confusion.
Yan Cheng was stunned, listening blankly to the boy's words that made him more and more confused.
"How come the Seventh Prince arrived earlier than us? Didn't he say before that he wanted to read more books and didn't want to attend such a boring party?"
His voice was gentle and pleasant, and his tone was full of confusion, as if he was really puzzled as to how someone who couldn't come just now turned around and arrived at the destination before him.
"It's really Your Highness! Your Highness, you lied to us. You clearly said you wouldn't come, but you secretly came here first." Yi Huan stepped forward to take a look, then said aggrievedly.
Chu Lingdong felt something was wrong, so he didn't say anything and just looked at the "Seventh Prince" in front of him.
The Seventh Prince's face seemed too pale, and he was wearing the brightly colored clothes that he disliked the most. Looking at the painting on the table, it depicted the garden scene with just a few strokes.
