lucky son

Chapter 56

The prince was panting violently, only feeling his mouth was dry, and subconsciously grabbed the brocade quilt covering his body.

Hearing the noise, the little eunuch who was on guard at night immediately woke up, carefully got up and guarded the door, and called softly: "Your Highness?"

The crown prince responded, but he didn't speak for a while, and the little eunuch didn't dare to ask any more questions, and waited cautiously for orders.

After a long time, the prince finally woke up from that weird dream, raised his hand to rest his forehead, and commanded in a hoarse voice: "Hold the lamp and prepare tea."

Ever since he was ten years old, the prince has had nightmares.Although the situation has gradually improved in recent years, the servants of the Eastern Palace have always maintained the habit of moving quickly at night.

In a short while, the Prince's sleeping hall, which was originally dark, was brightly lit. Not only was the fragrance of tea wafting, but also a few stacks of soft and digestible snacks were brought up to prevent the Prince from being hungry after waking up.

The Eastern Palace has a supernatural status. Although it is not yet winter, it has already been burnt with gold silk and silver charcoal, making the interior as warm as spring.The prince just put on a robe casually and got out of bed. He just drank a sip of tea to moisten his throat when he saw Qi Ming, the personal eunuch, rushing over.

As the eunuch in charge of the East Palace, Qi Ming naturally didn't need to keep watch for the prince. However, the prince woke up from his sleep and got out of bed, so he couldn't continue to sleep peacefully, so he came to serve immediately after getting the news.

To be honest, the prince's temper is really not friendly, and he doesn't like others to flatter him.The maids and eunuchs in the rest of the palace like to gather in front of the nobles to please the master, and since then they have been promoted and raised their salary. Only the servants of the East Palace are cautious in their words and deeds, but they love to go to Qiming for anything related to the prince. The personal eunuch pushed on him.

In this regard, Qi Ming is happy that no one "competes" with him, but at the same time he is worried that he looks like a special person who has been taken advantage of, and his emotions are very complicated.

"Your Majesty, it's just after Haishi, are you not going to sleep anymore?" Qiming approached the prince and asked softly, with worry in his voice, "You didn't sleep all night yesterday, and if you don't sleep well today, how can your body take it? ah."

Qiming has been serving the prince since he was a child. Although he is only a eunuch, he can still say a few words in front of the prince.

Hearing his advice, the prince frowned slightly: "No, I can't sleep alone. Lying down is a waste of time. It's better to get up and move around."

Seeing the crown prince's categorical attitude, Qi Ming did not dare to say more: "Then, what does Your Highness plan to do next?"

The prince sat at the table and pondered for a moment: "You... go and get the chessboard, and play the chess record alone."

Qi Ming replied yes, and soon gave the prince a set of chess sets.The prince twiddled the sunspots for a long while, recalled them, and made them one by one according to the chess game in his dream.

As the black and white chess pieces staggered, the prince's original cold expression gradually eased, and finally even chuckled while replaying the game.Qi Ming didn't know how to play chess, so he was puzzled by the sidelines, but he didn't dare to ask questions, for fear of affecting his master's good mood.

Speaking of it, the reason why the prince would laugh is very simple, just because this game of chess... is really stinky.

Obviously, he played very happily and heartily in his dream, and thought that his chess moves were extraordinarily exquisite, but when he got out of the dream and looked back, the prince suddenly found that it was actually two stinky chess baskets with similar smells. It was interesting. It makes people feel helpless and hilarious.

——It’s unbelievable that such a bad chess game was actually played by myself in a dream. Even when I first learned Go, I played it much better than this!

The prince posed for a long time, until the step where the dream started to jump, then he couldn't help but stop, and signaled Qi Ming to put the chess piece back.A moment later, facing the clean chessboard again, the prince played the second game of chess in his dream.

This game of chess is very good, especially on the side of the white pieces, which are interlocking and continuous, while the black pieces are trapped in it, and the left and right can't make it out--no wonder the young silver armor general in the dream was killed. Torture was so irritable that he almost couldn't help turning his face.

While reviewing the game, the prince secretly praised Baizi's exquisite layout.Obviously this kind of chess style is quite the same as his own, but the handling of some tactics makes even his own eyes shine and feel ashamed.

One game of chess is so smelly that I can't bear to look at it carefully, but one game of chess is so wonderful that I stroke my palm and sigh, but it happens that all of this is played by "myself" in a dream, which really makes the prince puzzled and unclear. Why did his chess power in the dream change so drastically.

And compared to my own ups and downs and completely different styles of chess, the "that person" who played against me played steadily. In addition to the improvement in chess strength, the style of chess is in the same line, exactly the same as... Master Xuanzhen.

Slightly narrowing his eyes, the prince was thoughtful.

The first time I saw Master Xuanzhen, it was as if I saw an old friend again. Not only did I not have the slightest suspicion and scrutiny, but I was full of joy, and I couldn't wait to make friends with him.

The prince was naturally puzzled by this sudden favor, but he couldn't resist the truest desire in his heart.Rather than suspecting, probing, and pushing the other party further and further away, he wants to obey his own heart and respect his intuition.

In this dynasty, no matter the dignitaries or the common people believed in Buddhism, they naturally also believed in the reincarnation of cause and effect that Buddhism said.

Although the prince has no interest in Buddhism, he accepts the theory of past life and present life well. Coupled with the frequent dreams he has had since he was ten years old, he has no choice but to believe in reincarnation.

Of course, the prince was smart and thoughtful since he was a child, so it was impossible to believe in those dreams without evidence, so he tried to verify the reality of the dreams from various angles.

Following the "self" in the dream, the prince learned a lot, and even successfully applied it in the present world.Whether it is the general who taught him martial arts, or the Taifu who taught him knowledge, they all praised him as a genius. He not only understands what he has learned, but can also extend it—but in fact, these are all dreams. credit.Obviously, he has never touched many things in reality, but once he dreamed of them, it was as if he had opened up the two veins of Ren and Du, as if he had personally experienced them.

The general said that his swordsmanship became more hostile, but he didn't know that what he learned in his dream was the martial arts of killing people, blood would be seen immediately when he struck the blade, leaving no room for it.

The Taifu said that he was born as Ziweixing, and that Yu Weijun was an amazing talent, and he also didn't know that he had already ascended the throne in his dream, and had dealt with countless difficult state affairs.

Even if it is music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine and tea, he is deeply influenced by the people in his dreams.

After verifying that the experiential means "learned" in the dream were not his own random imagination, the prince finally believed that he did have the fortune of being an emperor, and he might even have been an emperor for two generations.

In the first life, I fought on the battlefield by myself, while the scribe in Tsing Yi stood behind me all the time, decisively winning thousands of miles for myself.In the first life, I planned my own strategy, while the silver armored young general stood in front of me and charged forward for me.

If those scenes in the dream were indeed his previous life, then the scholar in green and the young general in silver armor were the people he trusted and was closest to in the two lives.And in that dream just now, I actually equated the Tsing Yi scholar, the silver armor young general with Master Xuan Zhen, so my inexplicable but unwavering closeness and love for Master Xuan Zhen also made sense.

Now that it has been verified that the dream is his previous life and something that actually happened, the Prince will naturally not doubt the hint about Master Xuanzhen's true identity in the dream.

——For the entire two lifetimes, he stayed by his side, overcoming obstacles for himself.But now, he has returned to his side again, wearing a cassock, with no dust in his eyes, but he is willing to step down from the Buddhist altar, join the world of mortals, and bear the debt of karma.

For a long time, my identity has been changing, the surrounding environment has been changing, and even the world is going up and down, but only him will never change.

The more the prince thought about it, the more sweet and consummated he became, he couldn't help but throw away the chess piece in his hand, propped his cheek with one hand, stared at a place in a daze, his expression was a little dazed.

Qi Ming subconsciously glanced at the prince's line of sight, but saw nothing:? ? ? ? ? ?

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, Qi Ming secretly sighed.Even after serving the prince for more than ten years, he still couldn't understand the prince's emotional changes. In the past few days, since Master Xuanzhen moved into the East Palace, the prince's mood has become even more unpredictable.

On weekdays, every night when he had nightmares, His Highness the Crown Prince was not in a good mood, his whole body was gloomy, but today, not only was he in a stable mood, he even laughed from time to time, rippling and sweet as if he had just been married.

No, according to Qi Ming's understanding of the prince, even if he married the princess, the prince would probably not be so happy that he almost lost his composure, unless the princess was His Highness's favorite person.

However, when it comes to the person he likes, Qi Ming can't help but feel more and more helpless.For a long time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seemed to be missing a root in the matter of love, and it was completely impossible to describe it with such a compliment as "clean and self-care".

Originally, the prince was distinguished, handsome and talented. Not only were there countless court ladies who wanted to climb into bed, but even the noble daughters of princes and ministers showed their love to the prince frequently.It's a pity that the prince didn't understand at all. Not only did he refuse to accept the beauty's favor, but he spoke harshly like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves. All the court ladies who tried to climb into the bed were killed, and the noble ladies who secretly flirted with him were also ashamed and indignant by his irony. , I wish I could hang myself on the spot.

——Such a posture of "preserving oneself like a jade" and "any woman who approaches the orphan wants to harm the orphan" can be called a bit morbid.

Sure enough, after going back and forth, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince changed from a wealthy son-in-law admired by everyone to a murderous weapon that all daughters shunned within a few years. reject.

Probably the emperor couldn't make up his mind what kind of woman to marry the prince—the status was too high, which made the emperor feel uneasy; but the status was ordinary, but it humiliated the prince's dignity—so, when the prince sternly refused to marry, The emperor indulged the other party without forcing him, and even now, the prince's backyard is still empty.

What's worse is that the prince's unmarriage does not only affect him.

According to the etiquette system, seniors and young are ordered.The eldest brother, the prince, is not married, so it is not easy for the younger brothers under him to arrange marriages. It is obvious that men from ordinary families can get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and even have engagements earlier, but the wedding dates of dragons and phoenixes among the royal family are different. After procrastinating and procrastinating, until now it has not been settled—thinking about it this way, the princes would hate the prince so much, maybe there is a reason for this?

Since the princes have not appointed a concubine, the dignitaries who hope to have an in-law relationship with the royal family are naturally reluctant to marry off their daughters who have high hopes. For the prostitutes of aristocratic families, their marriages were also delayed, and logically, those noble sons whose family status matched that of the noble daughters also delayed accordingly.

It can be said that this noble His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has postponed the marriage age of the entire elite circle by four or five years with only one person's strength.

It would be great if the crown prince really has someone he likes, presumably those noble "leftover men and women" will breathe a sigh of relief.

However, even if Qi Ming went through all the people the prince had seen these days, he still found nothing. Except for a fresh face of Master Xuan Zhen, everyone else was old acquaintances, not to mention women, even a handsome None of the boys!

As for Master Xuanzhen... No matter how courageous Qi Ming is, he dare not imagine this eminent monk casually—after all, this is a Buddhist monk who has been inspired by Buddhism and sent down golden light of merit several times as a reward!He just thought about it casually in his heart, that is also a tongue-in-cheek debt that deserves to be struck by lightning!

Silently stopping his wild thoughts, Qi Ming stood in place peacefully, pretending that he was a well-behaved little quail.Afterwards, he saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was originally smiling, withdrew his smile at some point, and became cold and gloomy again.

Qiming, who has long been accustomed to the prince's moodiness: …………………………

His Royal Highness, who was immersed in joy just now, suddenly thought of an important question: …………………………

After pouring a cup of tea, the prince frowned, tapped his fingers on the table, and made a soft sound that made Qi Ming's heart skip a beat.

According to the dream, Xuan Zhen—or the scribes in Tsing Yi and the young generals in silver armor—are his right-hand men who accompany him to conquer the world, and their friendship is as deep as the sea. Entrust the other party with a heavy responsibility and keep him by his side.

But why, in the dream after ascension to the throne, the two of them disappeared without a trace, and I was left alone to guard the empty boudoir—no, it was to guard the empty seat alone, without a caring person by my side?

The heart that sits on the throne is empty and seems to be missing, what is it that is missing?

Although I don't know the details, but inexplicably, an indelible fear and uneasiness arose in the prince's heart, which completely swallowed up the previous joy.

Losing it and finding it and then losing it again is more painful than never having it.
