"She always said that as a prince, I need to be calm and proper. I can't do anything out of the ordinary, otherwise I will make my father unhappy. But the eldest sister is much more comfortable than me. I set off fireworks on New Year's Eve and walked out of the palace on the Lantern Festival. Going to the night market is a common thing for her, but for me, a prince, it is unthinkable. So, every New Year's Eve, what I envy the most is the palace official who sets off the fireworks. I am very greedy. ah."
"Then you never left the palace when you were a child?" Zhou Chi asked, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"I haven't left the palace before I was thirteen," Lu Zhicheng thought for a while, and then continued, "When I was thirteen, I finally reached the age where I could go hunting. That spring hunting followed my father out of the palace. I went to the hunting ground in the western suburbs, hey, you don’t know how happy I was that day.”
That was the day he met Mu Nanzhi.
Even at this time, even though he and Zhou Chi were side by side, Lu Zhicheng still felt warm in his heart when he thought of Mu Nanzhi. Mu Nanzhi would always be a special existence to her. She was a beautiful and gentle person. The dream made the young man intoxicated. Now, he woke up from the dream, held Zhou Chi's hand firmly, and waved goodbye to the dream seriously.
"You haven't left the palace for thirteen years?" Zhou Chi was speechless, his eyes as wide as bells, "When I was thirteen years old, I had already followed the general to southern Xinjiang!"
"Really?" Lu Zhicheng looked at him and smiled, with helplessness and a little regret, "Then I really envy the eldest brother. I got to know you early on. If it were me, you wouldn't have to wait. I have been for so many years.”
"Bah! Just talking about taking advantage, when I was thirteen years old, you were still crawling around in crotchless pants!" Zhou Chi spat at him while curiously asking, "Is it just you, or are all the princes like this? So harsh? Not allowed to leave the palace for more than ten years? "
"No, the second and fourth emperor brothers are the direct sons of the emperor. They have high status. They usually go with the emperor on many occasions. Naturally, they have more opportunities to leave the palace. They have seen more of the world than me. The third emperor brother is a millionaire. Born to a noble concubine, Wan Guifei was loved by thousands of people. She was pampered by her father and the emperor, and the third emperor brother was even more popular. They were even more expensive than the second emperor brother and the fourth prince. They were everywhere they went. A large group of people followed, and I heard that the famous restaurants, restaurants, and teahouses in Beijing have reserved space for Brother Sanhuang all year round, so where can people sit in a well and gaze at the sky like me? "
Zhou Chi imagined that when Lu Zhicheng was a child, he could not help but feel a little distressed as he watched the royal brothers do whatever they wanted. He held Lu Zhicheng's hand tightly and listened to Lu Zhicheng continue.
"But I'm not jealous of the Third Emperor Brother at all. The person I admired the most at that time was the eldest emperor brother. The eldest emperor brother was the most favored by my father. He had the privilege of entering and leaving the palace freely since he was a child, but he had the privilege of killing wolves at a young age. The brave man who subdued the tiger was canonized as a king early on. At the age of fourteen, he could go north with the army to Kyaktu to train. At the age of fifteen, he became the general of Zhennan and went to the battlefield of southern Xinjiang. He is said to be the prince of our generation. I'm afraid that if you look at the Dali Dynasty, you won't be able to find a more legendary and brave prince than him." Lu Zhicheng sighed softly, while curling his lips and smiling, "My mother-in-law said to me when I was a child. The most important thing is, how powerful your eldest brother is, how capable your eldest brother is, you don’t know how much I hated and envied the eldest brother at that time, haha, I’m afraid the other royal brothers are also like me Feel the same.”
