Yes, Prince Ning Xia Yu, he is actually a reborn person!
In his previous life, he thought that the princess his father had arranged for him to marry had never entered his heart.
But now...
Xia Yu picked up the pen, added two strokes to the eyes of the painting, and squinted his eyes to look at it again.
Sure enough, she looked exactly the same as she did that day when she played chess with the current emperor in front of the palace.
He smiled faintly, hung the portrait on the wall, and sat on the soft chair like an old monk in meditation.
Previous life.
He still remembered the Battle of Dongchang, the crushing defeat, his long sword bent from the chopping he'd endured amidst the chaos.
But in the end, he was outnumbered, the long sword in his hand became heavier and heavier, and his eyes gradually turned blood red.
Suddenly, he felt an arrow coming from a distance. Just as he was about to dodge, he found that he was unable to move at all.
"Poof!" He heard the sound of a hard arrow piercing through the flesh and into the bone.
There was no pain, just a dull feeling. He knew that the arrow had hit him right in the chest. Blood gushed out and he fell backward uncontrollably!
In the last scene before his eyes slowly closed, he actually saw Shen Yuyao walking towards him with a faint smile.
When she was close to him, Shen Yuyao stretched out a hand as smooth as jade and wanted to hold him. He also used up his last bit of strength to stretch his hand towards that hand.
It was strange that the last person he saw was the princess he had never cared about.
He only remembered that the princess had died of complications during childbirth some years ago, and thought that she had come to take him to the other side.
At that moment, he felt that his entire body, flesh, blood, and soul were dissipating in this vastness...
......
When he opened his eyes again, he was in the carriage returning to the palace after a hangover!
The streets on both sides of the capital were hung with big red lanterns, and brilliant fireworks bloomed in the sky from time to time.
"Your Highness, wake up!" the eunuch driving the carriage shrieked. "Your Highness, the servants in the palace have come to report that the two princesses are about to give birth."
At that moment, he knew that he was reborn, and was reborn in the year when he took office as a vassal!
"quick..."
Before the carriage stopped, he jumped off and rushed directly into the inner courtyard.
But when he arrived at Chunhua Garden, he suddenly felt ashamed to see the person inside, so he had no choice but to rush to Jinxiu Garden.
Just as I was lost in thought, a servant knocked on the door.
"Your Majesty, Miss Ling is here."
Xia Yu suddenly opened his eyes.
Ling Xiangxiang, the only person who touched his heart in his previous life.
"Please come in, Miss Ling." Xia Yu said in a deep voice.
Ling Xiangxiang was wearing a plain dress, with a golden and jade phoenix hairpin pinned to her bun, and she walked into the room with her head slightly lowered.
When she looked up and saw Xia Yu, she immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty."
Xia Yu nodded and sat down: "Miss Ling, there is no need to be polite. Please take a seat."
Ling Xiangxiang seemed to have a thousand words on her lips, but she only managed to say: "Your Majesty summoned me here so late at night. What is the important matter?"
"Miss Ling, I have a request of yours today." Xia Yu said seriously.
"Please speak, my lord. I will obey you without hesitation."
"Miss Ling, the palace is in danger right now. There are only a few people I can trust."
Xia Yu paused for a moment and said, "This king intends to arrange for you to enter the palace. Are you willing?"
"Not to mention the imperial palace, we can even go to the most dangerous places!" Ling Xiangxiang smiled slightly.
"Regardless of the fact that the prince and princess have taken Xiangxiang in, based on our friendship back then, no one should disobey their orders!"
"Miss Ling," Xia Yu's face flushed slightly. He heard the hidden meaning in Ling Xiangxiang's words.
But now he is a man who has lived a new life, and many things are different.
"It's extremely dangerous to go to the palace, young lady, please think carefully." Xia Yu frowned slightly.
"However, there may be a glimmer of hope for Lord Ling's injustice!"
In his previous life, Xia Yu had reunited with Ling Xiangxiang in the palace. However, at that time, she was already the Imperial Noble Consort in charge of all the affairs of the six palaces!
......
It's the end of April, and there's always a sweet fragrance in the air of Kyoto.
This day, in Jinxiu Garden.
"Yunxuan, you should change quickly too!"
Shen Yuyao had already changed into a tight-fitting outfit and was tying a bundle around her chest. Inside the bundle was Xia Xiaoxian!
She lay in the bundle, revealing a round little head with little buns tied on both sides.
[Wow, I can finally go out and play again. So happy, so happy.]
[The Empress is going to the Imperial College to give money and food to the students]
[Today is the only chance to see the Queen outside the palace! ]
"It's so troublesome for people in your world to wear clothes! Layer upon layer." Xu Yunxuan was also wearing men's clothes, which was indeed a scholar's outfit.
"Yunxuan, don't forget those Tang and Song poems. Your father's life depends on them!" Shen Yuyao tightened the bundle again.
Because good or bad luck is hard to predict, Shen Yuyao didn't want to take Xia Xiaoxian to the academy today, but the little guy prayed with all his heart all night last night.
Shen Yuyao had just stepped out of the door when she looked up and saw Xu Yunxuan pushing open the window like a thief, jumping off the windowsill, stumbling and almost falling to the ground.
"Why did you come out of the window?" Shen Yuyao asked in a deep voice.
"Ah? Didn't you say you wanted to sneak into the academy?"
"This is the palace!"
"Ah...it's my fault...I was too immersed in the role..." Xu Yunxuan stood up embarrassedly.
Shen Yuyao's face was filled with black lines. This Xu Yunxuan was really just as Xiao Xianbao said.
A nerve in my brain has split!
I don't know if it's reliable to rely on such a person to win the favor of the Queen Mother. Not only did she not save her father Xu Wansan, but she also lost the Ning Wangfu family.
Shen Yuyao suddenly felt that her future was bleak and gently stroked the little fairy treasure.
"Little Immortal Treasure, please protect Prince Ning's Mansion from being cheated by this modern man!"
But now, the arrow is on the string and must be shot!
[Mother, I feel a chill too...]
However, Xu Yunxuan now possesses the wisdom of thousands of years in their world, which should be enough to make her the foremost scholar in Daxia.
Although she had long known from Xu Yunxuan that the civilization of the world she lived in was extremely brilliant, now hearing Xiao Xianbao's words, Shen Yuyao was a little curious about what that world was like and how wonderful it was.
......
That year, starting in the first month of the year, the Great Xia Dynasty saw a series of crimes committed by its founding heroes. The emperor was busy purging the court and the people from the very beginning of the first month, delaying the originally scheduled palace examinations until mid-May. Even Prince Ning Xia Yu's arrival at his vassal state was delayed from February to early May.
The students of the Imperial College got up early in the morning to prepare for today's "Calligraphy and Poetry Meeting".
The Empress even raised a sum of money and grain, and set up dozens of red warehouses to store grain for the wives, children and the elderly of the students.
Today's "Calligraphy and Poetry Meeting" was initiated by the students to express their gratitude to the Empress. It is rumored that the Empress will personally be present to distribute silk fabrics and satin quilt covers woven by the women in the palace to the students.
Two young men walked to the gate of the Imperial College.
One of them is handsome and elegant, dressed as a scholar; the other is smart and capable, dressed as a servant boy, with a heavy bag on his chest.
