His Royal Highness the First Prince of Daliang

Of course, it is impossible for the emperor to give his youngest son to Qi Changfeng as his younger sister.

But he did intend to ask Qi Xiaolang, who he admired very much, to be a playmate for his youngest son.

In the eyes of Emperor Hui, Qi Changfeng was a child with outstanding talents.This kind of talent does not lie in how strong his martial arts is and how proficient in the art of war-in fact, how strong is a frontier boy who is only 13 years old and has grown wild since childhood?

This child is priced at heart.

Emperor Hui's own life experience is rich enough. He once traveled thousands of miles in the North China Plain after the famine. Hunger, disease and exile created countless human tragedies there. The young age he saw there was miserable. There are countless children, and there are not a few of them who can be tempted to endure sexual difficulties to survive.Some people are born with stronger bones, which cannot be broken or broken by the outside world.

It's just that among them, under the erosion of disaster, loss and external persecution, it is particularly rare for people to be able to maintain inner order and peace.This kind of calm does not mean that he is indifferent to hatred and loss of relatives, but that his persistence and nature have not been distorted by the outside world.

Qi Changfeng didn't lose his mind and sneak into Xi Nan Wang's mansion single-handedly to carry out an assassination that was doomed to fail. Instead, he knew how to accept the olive branch of the emperor and waited to accumulate strength from him; The folks left the cause of their parents' resistance to the barbarians to others. Before worrying that they would be hurt by King Xi Nan's pursuit, he stayed in Baihe and beat back the Nanyi several times.At the same time, he still retains the ability to quickly trust strangers. When Zhao Yunxia took him all the way to wander in the rivers and lakes, he was still able to give up his life and death for the grievances of others——

Even Emperor Liang Hui, as a father, would say that this son is by no means a thing in the pool, even his sons are not as good as him.

Of course, when Emperor Liang Hui compared the two and disliked his sons, he did not include Kang Ning.Corning is just a baby, he is too far away from all this.

The emperor arranged the meeting with Qi Changfeng at the imperial concubine's place, and intentionally created a milder atmosphere. Apart from the inhumane reason that he also saw Zhao Yunxia's teeth itching and didn't want him to have a hard time, he also somewhat I kind of envy Qi Xiaolang's exuberant vitality, that kind of free wildness, his luck in escaping from death several times and his tenacity to survive - he hopes that there is such a person around Kang Ning as his friend.

In the past two years, Emperor Hui had actually been thinking about such a candidate—first, he must have a decent character, second, he should not be too humble and obedient to the royal family to change everything, and third, he had better not want any convenience from his youngest son.

At the same time, this person's face must not be disgusting, there must be no scum in the family, the body must be healthy, the conversation should be bright and humorous, and the character should be open-minded and unrestrained. It is best to be a few years older than Kang Ning. He is more mature and tolerant towards his son, but he can't blindly flatter and obey the little prince.

In the end, the astrological attributes of the two should also be suitable, and there should be no collision in fate.

In fact, the emperor once mentioned this matter to the imperial concubine.At the beginning, Concubine Zhao Gui was still very interested in this topic, but before Emperor Hui finished speaking, the child's mother fell asleep.It's not that Concubine Zhao didn't give advice to the emperor during the period. She also listed a few children from aristocratic families who she thought were very good-almost all of them were too picky by Emperor Hui to read.

Therefore, Qi Changfeng felt that Concubine Zhao Gui treated him extraordinarily gentle and loving, and it was not an illusion—Concubine Zhao received the child rescued by her younger brother with a strange mentality of showing her son a close friend.If Qi Xiaolang can satisfy a difficult father-in-law like Emperor Hui, the father of the child, he must be perfect.At least it's much better than the rambunctious little idiot she raised herself.What are you picky about?

The son ran over like a little lunatic. Although there were only the child's uncle and a young boy in the hall, Concubine Zhao Gui also felt that her face was a little hot, and she showed Kang Ning the kind of "Your mother is going to talk to you." "Talking" in his eyes, he felt that he had to give his son an urgent question about etiquette.

But the emperor took the dressed young son away like the rain in time.

A newly dressed child looks more precious and refined. "She" was wrapped in a goose-yellow gown, with a ridiculous little braid. For some reason, she was dressed like a little boy, but she was also extremely rare.

Qi Changfeng heard the emperor pointing at Big Brother Zhao and saying to the "little princess", "Uncle is a lot darker, and he is also ugly, isn't he?" Then the "little princess" bent his eyes and laughed.

So the emperor looked at him again and said, "Ning Ning, this little brother is Qi Xiaolang whom the emperor mentioned to you. He is more handsome and energetic than your brothers, right? Qi Xiaolang will live in the palace when he comes back. He will go to class with your brothers and sisters on weekdays. When you recover from heat stroke this time, ask this brother to play with you, okay?"

Qi Changfeng's eyes lit up instantly.

He saw the little princess nodded and smiled obediently and sweetly at him. She opened her mouth to be cute and called him familiarly, "Brother Changfeng!"

Ugh.

What was that feeling like?It's hard to describe.Anyway, Qi Changfeng felt that he must have laughed very strangely.

"Your Highness." He heard his own voice in a strange tone.He noticed that he had stretched out his arms towards the child.

He couldn't remember how he took the child who looked like a milk ball, how he talked with him, how he asked the emperor and concubine for instructions, and then brought the child to the gate of Yongchun Palace to play.Qi Changfeng is like a person who likes fluffy but has never seen a cat. One day, he suddenly saw a two-month-old short-legged golden gradient with excellent appearance. The cat was in his arms and sucked in—it was impossible for him to be sane in such a dream time.

He only remembered that under the flower tree in the front courtyard of Yongchun Hall, he finally got his wish and pulled the funny little braid on the top of the little thing's head, and then Kang Ning raised his head very strangely and touched his head:

"Brother Changfeng, what are you doing?" He tugged at the corner of the big brother's clothes in front of him a little urgingly, "Go ahead and tell me! Master Dengfeng wants to catch the person who stole his purple jade bamboo chicken, And then? Did he catch it?"

"He..." Qi Changfeng cleared his throat, "Of course he didn't catch him! Brother Zhao and I were still in the west of Sichuan at the time. Based on the inexperienced thugs in Dengfeng Village, at most we could guess that the chicken thief might not be a human being. They Guarding against foxes, guarding against wild dogs... Snakes are actually not unexpected. But how can these Central Plains people deal with snakes? Some people wanted to play a joke on the owner of Dengfeng Village, and brought iron snakes from thousands of miles away. In the past, people in Sichuan had never even heard of it."

"I know! I will!" Kang Ning showed off, "Snakes are afraid of realgar powder!"

Qi Changfeng laughed, "Your Highness is right. But iron-headed snakes are very special—they are not afraid of realgar powder. This kind of snake is very special. The patterns on their bodies are like rusted iron spots, and they are not very poisonous. , is a unique snake in southern Xinjiang. We often caught it when we were young. Even if we bite, it doesn’t matter. The wound will turn black, but you only need to cut a kind of rabbit-tooth-shaped herb and apply it, and it will be fine in half a day. Yes. The meat of this snake is tender, and it will be a delicious dish if caught."

Kang Ning has never heard of such a story. The lives of ordinary people are too far away from him. For him, the customs of southern Xinjiang are more like another unknown world. He was dumbfounded and habitually said Sticking to Qi Changfeng like a puppy - he likes this person very much, and he has never had the concept that people who are not familiar enough should not be too close:

"Do you eat snakes? Can you eat snakes too?" He asked anxiously.

"Snakes are edible, but you need to be more careful about the poisonous ones." Qi Changfeng told him, "It's the same as eating mushrooms. There are people in Baihe who eat snakes and die. I have been to a snake king crawling out of the valley, and the soup it cooked was extremely delicious, but it ate everyone from the old man to the grandson of that family to death."

Eat snakes and die!This is already a horror story for Corning.His face turned pale.

Upon hearing this, the eldest maid of Yongchun Palace already wanted to stop this half-baby.She noticed the little prince's face that changed color with fright, and she was afraid that Kang Ning would not be able to bear the shock, and might even have nightmares at night.

What are you talking about eating snakes?Your Highness has never even seen what a snake looks like!

But Qi Changfeng glanced at Huanqing indifferently, and, intentionally or not, he turned sideways just to block her view of Kang Ning, "Don't be afraid, they all eat snakes that don't know how to take care of them." Yes. Besides, ironhead snakes are very poisonous, even if you don’t let go of the venom, you’ll be fine if you stew them directly. Once this snake is stewed with onion and ginger, it tastes so sweet that you can swallow your tongue ——It tastes no worse than those treasured bamboo chickens of Master Dengfeng."

Kang Ning couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and he shifted his attention, forgot to be afraid, and was very yearning to hear it. He first praised Qi Changfeng sweetly, "Brother is really amazing! Brother knows everything!" The owner of the peak villa, "Then who brought the iron-spotted snake to Dengfengzhuang? The iron-spotted snake does not harm people, it just eats the bamboo chicken of the owner. The person who brought the snake just wanted to play a prank, didn't he? "

"Your Highness is really smart." Qi Changfeng boasted, "The person who brought the iron-snake is a good friend of Master Dengfeng, and Ulan is a well-known expert in the world. This person is because Master Dengfeng is stingy with his bamboo chicken." , refused to take it out to entertain friends, so I came up with this method to tease him." Qi Changfeng couldn't help but started to touch the child's tender cheek casually as he said: "This is a good hand, Ulan eats it!" Not long after, the purple jade bamboo chicken of the owner of Dengfeng Village was almost eaten by the iron snake. There were only a few left, and the owner of Dengfeng Village brought a banquet for Big Brother Zhao and me who solved the matter for him. Miaoshou Ulan was also invited to the banquet, and finally had the purple jade bamboo chicken he had been thinking about, and the iron-spotted snake he brought from southern Xinjiang."

Corning thought the story was wonderful.This elder brother Changfeng, who seems to have fallen from the sky, is as brave and brave as his father said, and he is also witty and funny-he is stronger than all the big and small children Kang Ning has ever seen.He didn't want to leave him like he didn't want to leave his uncle before.

"Isn't Master Dengfeng angry with Ulan, the master?" The child took Qi Changfeng's rough hand and continued to ask. At the same time, he made a new request, "Brother, I want to pee!"

He wanted this brother to accompany him and continue to tell stories on the way.Don't let Xiaofuzi them.

But Qi Changfeng suddenly stopped, as if he suddenly heard something unbelievable.He seemed to have been punched by someone, and his calm and handsome face flushed red in an instant.

"I'll tell His Highness the story of the two masters of Dengfeng Villa next time." He said hastily, his voice was not as clear and deep as before.Then he turned sideways, removed his body that was between Kang Ning and the palace servants, and asked Huanqing helplessly, "This girl, Your Royal Highness wants... to go conveniently."

"His Royal Highness?" Huanqing was stunned. "What is Her Royal Highness? Where is Her Royal Highness?"
