When Zhao Yan left the palace, his face looked a little strange.
I don’t know whether I should be proud or worried.
He was quite satisfied with the marriage promised to him by the emperor.
The daughter of King Ruyang of Meng Yuan Dynasty, Minmin Temur.
Titled Princess Shao Min, there is also a Han family named Zhao Min.
Now she is sixteen years old, but she has grown into a graceful figure and is known as the most beautiful woman in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.
With such a fiancée, Zhao Yan certainly had no reason to refuse.
But this beauty has one shortcoming, that is, she has a bad temper.
I don't know what trouble will happen if I get married.
Fortunately, although the marriage was set, the wedding day was a year later, so it wasn't that important.
The nine states and ten countries have conquests and alliances with each other.
The Song and Yuan Dynasties have been allies for many years. The Song State has strong economic strength, while the Yuan State has a strong military.
The two countries complement each other and jointly resist the covetousness of other countries. Peace and marriage are an important means to strengthen mutual trust.
And Zhao Min specified that she would only marry the strongest man in the Song Dynasty, so Zhao Yan became the best choice.
"Your Majesty, King Qi is too presumptuous..."
Mr. Kang, dressed in a green robe, floated out from behind the screen like a ghost, and started complaining.
"Mr. Kang is overthinking. The fifth brother is just used to being casual and not strict about small details, but he never lacks the proper etiquette and never touches the areas that should not be crossed."
Zhao Lu shook his head and smiled, obviously not caring about Mr. Kang's remarks.
"Power moves people's hearts. As a noble, you still have to guard against those who should be guarded against."
The old ghost in black robe also floated aside and reminded him.
"What the old ghost said is true. Your Majesty must not get too close to King Qi in the future."
As royal servants, the two of them only obeyed orders from the people in front of them.
The rest of the royal family's children are within their protection range.
After hearing what the two elders said, a trace of anger appeared on Zhao Lu's face, and he said in a low voice:
"My father has five sons, why are I and my fifth brother the only ones left now? Could it be that the two elders have forgotten the reason?"
"this…"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
The two worshipers knelt down and apologized. Although Zhao Lu was not proficient in martial arts, he had been the emperor for eight years and had accumulated great power. When he got angry, the two elders were also a little frightened.
"Get up, I don't blame you, but you have to understand that if the fifth brother wants to be the emperor, it will not be my turn to sit on the throne for eight years."
"I hope you two will understand and don't be wary of King Qi from now on."
"I understand."
After Kang Gui finished speaking, he floated back behind the screen.
The Qinzheng Hall was immediately silent, while Zhao Lu, who was sitting blankly, felt his mind change rapidly, as if he had returned to that terrible night eight years ago.
Eight years ago, his father suddenly died of illness. The second brother and his third brother Xidi led troops to attack the prince's east palace overnight, hoping to seize the throne.
The Dong Palace Guard was killed and his blood flowed like a river. At the most dangerous moment, it was the fifth brother Zhao Yan who stood in front of him.
He single-handedly turned the tide and carved a bloody road to the palace.
In the end, he helped him ascend to the throne and became the king of the Song Dynasty.
If the fifth brother really wanted to be the emperor, he could just sit on the sidelines from the beginning, and then kill the rebels after his death, and then sit on the dragon throne as a matter of course.
But Zhao Lu asked him about it at that time, and Zhao Yan simply replied to him with one sentence, which is still fresh in his memory.
"Only idiots become emperors..."
"Haha, it's been eight years. Have I been a fool for eight years?"
Zhao Lu showed a helpless smile, and then suddenly laughed heartily, very happily.
……
……
"Let's go back to the village."
After getting on the carriage, Zhao Yan gave instructions softly, while the coachman waved his whip without saying a word and drove out of the city.
There is a Prince Qi Mansion in the Imperial City, but he almost never lives there. He lives in Sanxian Manor ten miles away from the Imperial City all year round.
In his own words, living in the city is a mess, but outside the city he lives like a god descending from the earth.
Two-quarters of an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of a grand manor.
Zhao Yan stepped off the carriage and slapped the round and plump buttocks again.
"Today's service is over, you can go and rest."
“……”
The groom remained silent and didn't say a word about his dirty hands. He just walked quietly down the front room, threw the riding crop to the village man who came to greet him, and returned to the village.
Looking at her graceful leaving figure, Zhao Yan curled his lips sadly.
No matter what she did, she was as dead as a dead person, and she didn't know how long this state would last.
"Hehe, the prince is still in trouble today."
The pretty girl who came forward said with a smile.
Her name is Xiren, and she is one of Zhao Yan's personal maids in the west.
"It's common to hit a wall. Who knows that she will be the future Scarlet Fairy Li Mochou."
"The prince is in doubt again. I have been asking about this for a long time, but I have never heard of this name."
"That's because you are ignorant. Learn from me and read more books, and you will naturally know the world's affairs."
With a casual remark, Zhao Yan swaggered towards the village with his hands on his hips, and Xiren hurriedly followed.
"By the way, where is Yuyan?"
"Back to your lord, Miss Wang is listening to Chao Pavilion sorting out the newly arrived ancient books for you."
"Oh...are there new books delivered today?"
"Yes, it just arrived in the afternoon. It is said that there is a big box full."
"You're so confused, why didn't you tell me earlier!"
After gently knocking on the attacker's forehead, Zhao Yan's figure immediately turned into an afterimage and gradually dissipated in place.
Xiren touched his head that was not in pain, looked at the direction where his master disappeared and stuck out his tongue.
"This slave hasn't finished speaking yet!"
"What was delivered was a box of tortoise shells..."
……
……
Tingchao Pavilion.
Ground floor lobby.
Dozens of pretty maids walked like butterflies among hundreds of bookshelves, sorting books together.
In the center of the lobby, the sunlight leaking from the roof illuminated a circular area below.
In the middle, a graceful girl is lying next to the big desk, carefully looking at the tortoise shell in her hand.
Every movement she made was very gentle, for fear of accidentally breaking these rare objects.
I didn't realize how attractive the roundness of the mountains was in my current posture.
"Yu Yan..."
A familiar man's voice rang in her ears. Wang Yuyan smiled knowingly, but did not look back. She just whispered:
"Brother Yan, wait a moment, Yan'er will finish watching this tortoise shell soon."
Seeing her like this, Zhao Yan shrugged his shoulders and sat sideways on the Taishi chair next to him in disappointment. He also passed the teacup on the table where Wang Yuyan had just taken a sip and poured it into his mouth.
"Don't worry, there aren't many words in a box of tortoise shells, so it's better than nothing."
"This girl Xiren can't explain clearly. She has to make plans when she goes home at night..."
When Wang Yuyan heard this, her eyes turned into crescent moons.
"Brother Yan is bragging, so you can't bear to hit the attacker."
Zhao Yan chuckled, tilted his head back as if to relax, and his mind wandered to an unknown place.
He is different from other time-travelers.
There is no system, you can't sign in and you can't get critical hits.
Just gained a special ability.
People have to work hard to practice, but he only needs to read books and his skills will improve.
And you will also gain different abilities while reading different books.
For example, in medical books, medical skills will be inexplicably integrated.
Craftsman's book, you can then understand the structure and making of the furniture when you see it.
The deeper you understand the content in the book, the stronger your ability will be.
