Happy Farmer's Life

My name is Liu Jingyuan, and I am the third prince of the Shen Dynasty.I remember when I was young, my mother and concubine often accompanied me and my brother. The concubine was very gentle and would make delicious snacks for me when we were tired from studying. When I was crying during practice, I gently massaged my body with a silk handkerchief. Wipe away my tears.But our happy childhood was gone forever after our mother and concubine became seriously ill.

The concubine mother is a noble concubine, and she is deeply favored by the emperor. The emperor's brother was established as the prince when he was just born.But as the number of concubines in the palace gradually increased, the father did not come to visit us as often as he did when he was a child.My concubine was seriously ill when I was seven years old. Although the imperial physicians in the palace tried their best to treat me, they still couldn't survive that winter.I remember the day when the concubine mother passed away, the weather was very cold. The emperor and I stayed in the concubine's bedroom and in front of the concubine's bed. I heard the concubine murmuring about the imperial father, but the imperial father Never came.The emperor's brother begged his father to come and see his mother and concubine, but his father still didn't come.The mother and concubine stayed up late at night and finally went. The father-in-law just sent the father-in-law to arrange the funeral of the mother and concubine. I stood there at a loss, not knowing what to do until the mother and concubine were carried into the coffin. rushed up.Don't let those maids and eunuchs touch my concubine mother, the emperor hugged me, and kept saying in my ear, "Xiaoyuan, concubine mother has gone, let her rest in peace. My brother will always be by my side from now on. Yours. Brother will protect you."

I didn't know that the concubine who would laugh and call me "Xiaoyuan, come and have a snack" who would cry for me when I was hurt is no longer here.Royal father, don't you even want to meet your mother and concubine for the last time?Since then, I no longer worship my father.It turns out that he has always been a hero in my heart, but he will never be again in the future.

Without the protection of my mother and concubine, the life of my brother and I is obviously much more difficult.As the crown prince, the emperor has a heavy burden on him.I have to study a lot every day, but Brother Huang will come to me every night to ask about my studies and see if there is anyone bullying me in the palace.But I still heard from the maid who took care of me that the crown prince's position is not secure.The concubine of the second brother's mother is Concubine Li who has always wanted the second brother to sit on the crown prince, and has obstructed him in many ways.Brother Huang never mentioned it to me.Brother Huang has always kept his promise to protect me.But I also want to help Brother Huang, and I don't want to be the protected person all the time.

From then on, I started to attend lectures very hard, and the Taifu often praised me for my great progress in knowledge.I don't lag behind in kung fu, and I will practice hard every day when I return to the bedroom.I want to grow up as soon as possible so that I can help Brother Huang.

My father's impression of me seems to be getting more and more blurred, and I don't see him several times a year.The meeting is just to ask about my homework, he will never hold me on his lap, play with me, and teach me how to read.Maybe I still had hope for my father when I was a child, so it can be said that I no longer have such fantasies now.

Brother Huang lived in the East Palace when he was 15 years old, so he couldn't visit me every day like before.He has slowly come into contact with the government and handled affairs independently.But he still took time to see me, and the smile on Brother Huang's face became less and less. I know that Brother Huang actually doesn't like to intrigue with these ministers and deal with those affairs.But the emperor is the prince, this is his duty.When my elder brother visits me, I try my best to tell him some interesting stories, hoping that he will be happy.

"Xiaoyuan, it's good that you are like this. Don't worry, brother will protect you." Brother Huang always said so.

One day, Brother Huang came to my bedroom and hugged me. "Xiaoyuan, my brother will have a concubine soon." Yes, brother Huang is already fifteen, and his father will definitely have a concubine for him.

"Brother, are you going to marry sister Rong?"

"Sorry, Xiao Yuan, it's not her. It's Prime Minister Wang's daughter."

Sister Rong is a court lady who has been taking care of her brother. She is very gentle and has the appearance of a concubine in her body.This may also be the reason why Brother Huang likes Sister Rong.But Brother Huang couldn't marry Sister Rong.

"Xiao Yuan, don't worry, you will be able to be with the one you love in the future. Brother will protect you."

The emperor's imperial edict came soon, and the emperor's brother was indeed engaged to Prime Minister Wang's daughter.We are getting married next month.I know that Brother Huang's power in the court is not stable now. If he wants to secure the position of crown prince, he must get the support of more ministers.You must know that my second brother is eyeing this seat covetously.

The royal brother's wedding was held soon, and the wedding was very grand.I also met my long-lost father at the wedding. It seems that I met him at the annual banquet. It has been more than half a year.Many people came, and everyone spoke auspicious words, but Brother Huang had a perfunctory smile on his face. I kind of felt the helplessness of Brother Huang. This is a kind of involuntary feeling in the emperor's house.Even if the elder brother gave up the crown prince, I am afraid that the second elder brother would not agree.

I returned to my bedroom early, and I couldn't experience happiness at that grand wedding.Brother Huang came in the evening and hugged me. "Xiaoyuan, don't worry, my brother will still protect you after he gets married." But when I looked up, I saw the tear in the corner of my brother's eye.Sister Rong was sent back to her hometown two days ago, maybe she will never see her again in this life.

"Brother, Xiao Yuan has grown up, and Xiao Yuan will protect my brother in the future."

"Yes, Xiaoyuan is already an adult, and he can already protect my brother." Brother Huang still encouraged me as before, and I could see his sadness.

After getting married, the emperor's brother is busier than before, although I don't know what he is busy with.The number of times I come to visit me is not as many as before, and every time I come to visit, I always seem to be in a hurry.I learned that the second brother has already started to act, this should be the reason why my brother is busier.

In the Shen Dynasty, the 15-year-old prince had to live outside the palace.I have finally reached the age of 15, and my father's imperial edict followed, and I can finally leave the palace.The emperor bought me a house outside the palace, and I also became king, Yuan Wang.

Brother Huang came to visit me before I left the palace and asked about my future intentions.I said I wanted to help Brother Huang, but Brother Huang wanted me to do what I like.Under my repeated entreaties, Brother Huang still complied with my request to go to the Ministry of War.

The days when I am out of the palace are much happier for me than in the palace, although I go to court every day and I can see the emperor brother.But the chance to talk to the emperor is really rare.And it was only after I went to court that I truly experienced the horror of the second emperor brother.The emperor's brother has a generous personality. Although he has means, he is still not as good as the second emperor's brother.Brother Erhuang is just a smiling tiger, but behind the smile is ruthlessness.

I have just joined the Ministry of War. Although everyone respects me, I have no real power.Every day, I watch them deal with affairs as if watching a play, but I am watching from the sidelines.This situation changed soon, because I did something unexpected, I volunteered to go to the barracks for training.

Brother Huang was a little surprised when he heard the news, but he still complied with my wish.Life in the barracks was very difficult. Although I am Yuan Wang, I insist on the same treatment as ordinary soldiers.I get up early every day to do exercises, and I have never complained.Gradually, I got along with those soldiers and got the approval of the old general.

The old general is a veteran of our dynasty. Although he is already in his sixties, he is in good spirits.He trains like us every day.I was also a little surprised to have the approval of the elderly general, who is notoriously tough-tempered.At the beginning when I said that I wanted to enter the camp, Brother Huang was afraid that I would not be able to stand him, but who would have thought that I would fall into his eyes.

The old general is very dignified in the army, and he can almost say that he promises everything.He has never expressed any opinion on the battle between the emperor brother and the second emperor brother, but I know that if I can get his support, the emperor brother will be able to secure the throne.

Brother Second Emperor probably didn't expect that I would be favored by the old general either.Because in his eyes, I have always been a taciturn, naive and even incompetent person.That's because I want him to feel that I am incompetent and not a threat to him, so that my life will be easier.This is what the emperor said a long time ago.

I didn't expect Brother Two's methods to come so quickly, probably because I offended his interests.The old general got the news that there was a problem with Quzhou's military affairs, so he asked me to check it out.The trip to Quzhou went smoothly, Brother Huang sent someone to go secretly with me, and it really allowed me to find out some clues.The Second Emperor had a lot of contacts with people in the army, and seemed to have some contact with the vassal state, so there must be some intentions.I wanted to get evidence to prove it, but I didn't expect to be attacked when I was about to get the key evidence.

Under the protection of the guards, I desperately fought my way out. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer guards accompanying me, in the end it was only me and my personal guard, Ye.Ye and I fled in the dark, but the pursuers were getting closer and closer. Ye had no choice but to let me change clothes with him, and then the two of us fled in different directions.

The wound on my body was getting more and more painful, and I felt that I was about to be unable to hold on any longer. In a daze, I seemed to have run to a village and wanted to knock on the door, but my body had already collapsed.Indistinctly, I seem to hear someone talking. I tried hard to speak, but I couldn't make a sound.I'm so tired.When I woke up, I saw him, the most important person in my life——Wei Ming.

Many years later, I still remember the scene when I saw him just now, the thin figure who hurriedly pushed the door and entered when I heard the movement in the house.

"Are you awake? How do you feel? Is there any discomfort?" Caring words followed, and Liu Jingyuan will always remember this scene in his heart.
