When Xiao Jiaojiao got married, the crippled king stood up and pampered her.

When Chu Nuan filled the bucket with water and turned to leave,

Just then, Di Changyuan happened to come in from outside. Having just been soaked in the snow water, he felt even colder all over.

He pressed forward step by step, making the narrow space a little cramped.

Those deep eyes stared at her, as if they were ice and wanted to see through her.

"Chu Nuan, tell me, how long do you plan to keep pretending?"

Chu Nuan frowned, "No, Di Changyuan, you have asked me this question thousands of times in the past ten years, don't you really feel tired?

I said this before in the woods. Am I crazy? Why would I use ten years to hide? How many decades does a person have in their lifetime? "

Only a psychotic spy would do that, right?

Di Changyuan walked up to her with his feet wading through the water.

His tall body pushed her to the edge of the barrel, his dark eyes like a lion staring at its prey:

"Do you know what it means for a woman to stay with a man?"

His voice was still a little hoarse, and he looked at her in a way he had never seen before...

Chu Nuan's heart skipped a beat when he looked at her. It was the after-effect of the drug, coupled with the arousal of sexual desire, the aura of Di Changyuan now had a more aggressive feel than before.

She panicked for a moment.

Although she came to save Di Changyuan, it had nothing to do with love between men and women.

Di Changyuan keenly caught that hint of panic, "Heh..."

He chuckled, grabbed her arm with his big hand and pulled her towards him.

"Chu Nuan, are you also afraid sometimes?"

Chu Nuan was knocked into his arms by his domineering force, and their bodies were very close.

He pinched my wrist so hard that it was almost broken. It hurt a lot.

She frowned, which made her look even more sympathetic in the man's eyes.

Di Changyuan grabbed her arm again and turned her around.

In an instant, she was pressed against the wall.

His voice was dark and gloomy. "Stay with me, aren't you afraid of what I might do? Hmm?"

His big hand even pinched her chin, holding her entire face.

He was a head taller than her, but in his current position, he only had to lower his head to do whatever he wanted.

Chu Nuan finally raised her eyes, met his gaze, and regained her usual composure.

"You will not."

Her voice was affirmative, and there was no fear in her eyes anymore when she looked at him.

Because she found that Di Changyuan seemed to want to do something to her, but in fact he was holding her arm and pinching her chin.

His body even kept one step away from her, always on alert.

Di Changyuan frowned, "Are you so sure?"

"Yeah. If you don't believe me... try it?"

As Chu Nuan spoke, she curled her lips, turned passive into active, and took a step closer to him.

Sure enough, as soon as she took the initiative, Di Changyuan instinctively took a step back and shook off her arm.

It was a kind of vigilance towards everyone, and a reflexive retreat.

Di Changyuan didn't trust anyone, and he knew very well that matters between men and women were the most intimate and the most depraved.

How could he, who was skeptical of the whole world, allow himself to fall for a woman?

That's enough to be fatal.

In the previous life, or even in the life before that, nothing had ever happened to Di Changyuan, either to Lan Qing or Yun Chulu.

Including Yun Jingge, when he ascended the throne and held the ceremony to establish the queen, I'm afraid he also found a substitute to comfort Yun Jingge.

At this moment, Di Changyuan realized that his disguise had been completely seen through by Chu Nuan, and ordered in a cold voice:

"Get out!"

She saw through everything, and no one could get close to him.

How can you do anything with her if you don't trust her?

Chu Nuan left as she wished.

After Di Changyuan took a bath, Chu Nuan seemed to be fine and went to discuss the details of tomorrow's birthday with him.

However, Di Changyuan always kept a distance of more than one meter from her, as if the man who approached her before had never existed.

Birthday, everything went very smoothly.

The boring official occasion made Di Xiaozhan lose interest, so he planned to ask a maid to go to the greenhouse to have some lovemaking.

But when I got there, for some reason, the person there was Di Yu.

And Di Xiaozhan was out of control, his mind was full of love and he had only one crazy thought, which was wanting it.

What's more, Di Yu was born pitiful and charming, which made men love her the most.

Di Xiaozhan approached Di Yu, trying to grab her, chase her, and try to knock her down.

At the critical moment, Emperor Gaoqi was walking by with a group of civil and military officials. When they heard someone calling for help, they saw that his most beloved daughter was being bullied by Emperor Xiaozhan.

Emperor Xiaozhan, that's the current crown prince! The heir to the throne! The future heir to the throne!

Yet he did such a beastly thing to his own sister!

All the civil and military officials in the court were angry, and Emperor Gao Qi was even more furious.

Emperor Xiaozhan was unable to defend himself, was deposed as the crown prince, had the tendons of his hands cut, and was imprisoned in the Youhuang Palace.

Di Yu cried so miserably for the entire day, which made Di Gaoqi extremely furious. He even ordered Di Xiaozhan to be dragged out and beaten again.

Di Tiande tampered with the board, causing Di Xiaozhan to lose too much blood and die tragically on the same day.

When Emperor Tiande thought he was about to become the crown prince, everything was revealed!

It turns out that all of Di Xiaozhan’s faults were caused by Di Tiande, who was behind the conspiracy!

Emperor Tiande, who was fond of showing off and always ostentatious, was deposed from the throne and given poisoned wine on the charge of "poisoning" the crown prince.

In the court, the two most capable heirs to the throne suddenly disappeared.

Emperor Gaoqi suddenly found that he had no successor and thought of Emperor Taiyin.

But now Emperor Taiyin is devoted to disaster relief and helping the people, building charity halls, reciting poems, painting, drinking tea and appreciating the snow, and has no interest in the throne.

Di Taiyin even recommended: "Father, the eleventh brother is concerned about the country and the people, has experienced many hardships, has not changed his original intention, is tenacious and moderate, and is the most suitable candidate."

This life's Emperor Gaoqi only remembered for the first time that he still had a prince like Emperor Changyuan...

How can a boy born from a maid inherit the throne?

At this time, the richest businessman in Northern Qi came to see him, and Mr. Chu came with a large sum of money to look for his relatives...

Fufeng Courtyard.

The winter wind howled.

Today is Di Changyuan’s seventeenth birthday.

Xi Meiren was cooking in the kitchen. She had been very dissatisfied and a little depressed over the years.

I always feel that Chu Nuan's arrival has ruined Di Changyuan, and Di Changyuan will never be able to be emperor in this life.

Every time she saw him living such a peaceful life, she tried to think of some ways to temper him, but was stopped by Chu Nuan every time.

She even thought about killing Chu Nuan, but Chu Nuan was too smart and always managed to escape with little effort.

Even though today was Di Changyuan's birthday, Ning Xi had no intention of pampering Di Changyuan too much. She specially went to the kitchen to find some bitter melons stored during the summer and made a large table of bitter melon feast.

In the flickering candlelight, Xi Meiren said:

"Yuan'er, you are one year older. Mother hopes that you will remember the sufferings you have endured in the past and become a resilient and strong person."

Di Changyuan looked at the table full of bitter melon dishes. Even if other people’s birthday dishes were not delicacies from land and sea, they would definitely have poultry and fish.

Only he...

The corners of Chu Nuan's eyes twitched. This Xi Meili, if she slacked off for just one day, she would definitely cause trouble.

She grabbed Di Changyuan's sleeve and walked out: "Come with me, I have prepared a birthday gift for you."

Di Changyuan didn't want to go out, but was still pulled out of the room by Chu Nuan.

Chu Nuan and Di Changyuan stood in the yard.

It happened to be snowing heavily.

The faint lanterns emitted a hazy glow.

Chu Nuan brought a chair and asked Di Changyuan to sit under the lantern, and handed him a book.

"You read a book for a while."

Emperor Changyuan lowered his eyes and saw a handwritten book that recorded many classic quotes.

Unique, but...

This is not much different from what Xi Meiren said.

Di Changyuan raised his eyes to look at her: "Is this what you call a birthday gift?"

Chu Nuan listened to the noise in the distance and curled her red lips slightly:

"It's much more than that, you'll soon find out, just read it for a while.

I think your reading voice is quite nice."

After saying that, Chu Nuan brought a small stool not far from him, sat down, and stared at him.

Under her gaze, Di Changyuan could not resist her and had to continue looking down at the pages.

In the dim light of the lantern, he opened his thin lips and said:

"I wish I had thousands of mansions to shelter all the poor people in the world and make them happy..."

When Emperor Gaoqi came with his men, he happened to see the ice-blue figure of Emperor Changyuan sitting in the yard, reciting that very unique verse in his clear and noble voice.

There are tens of thousands of mansions in An De Guang, where all poor people in the world are happy?

This is his eleventh son?
