AA loves to dominate the interstellar by the way [Rebirth]

Li Jinshen didn't know anything about what was happening around him.

His eyes were tightly closed, his eyeballs were trembling uncontrollably, and he fell into a deep dream that he couldn't break free from.

In that dream, he went back many years ago.

……

……

The melodious sound of the cello echoed in the night of the palace of the Chardonnay Empire, and sprinkled romantic and warm starlight in the cool autumn night wind.

In the banquet hall, people came and went, cups of wine were staggered, clothes were fragrant, and everyone had smiles of joy and anticipation on their faces.

Tonight is the 16th birthday party of the crown prince of the empire, Li Jinshen, and the nobles of the upper class of Emperor Star have been invited to offer their blessings to their future crown prince.

His Royal Highness the crown prince was extremely gifted when he was born, and he successfully differentiated three days ago, becoming the unique SSS-level Alpha of the Xiadeng Empire——

As long as there are no accidents along the way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will undoubtedly become a legendary talent in a hundred years' time and reach the pinnacle of the galaxy.

Under the leadership of such a monarch, the Xiadeng Empire will surely create an unprecedented brilliant future.

"—Jin Shen!"

"Your Highness, here!"

"Congratulations, His Royal Highness."

Li Jinshen walked in the banquet hall, smiling and nodding to every nobleman and minister around him, stopping from time to time to whisper a few words to familiar noblemen, or to chat with close peers for a while, with an expression of alienation but not indifference. Fan grace bearing and royal demeanor.

The dark black dress properly wrapped his slender figure, and the golden ears of wheat intertwined around the neckline, gathered together to form a logo representing the noble status of the prince. The heavy dark dress not only did not reflect the youthfulness of the blond prince, but added to his charm. Somewhat awe-inspiring.

In every word and deed, flawless.

The young imperial prince already has some demeanor of a future ruler.

The sound of the piano paused for a moment.

"Queen Furui arrives—"

The attendant's announcement was clearly and unmistakably transmitted into the banquet hall, and the lively hall fell into a brief silence for an instant.

Everyone present, regardless of their status, stopped what they were doing at the same moment, turned around and saluted towards the entrance of the banquet hall.

The men touched their chests and bowed in salute, while the ladies lifted their skirts slightly and bowed their knees slightly, bowing their proud heads respectfully to the woman with the highest status in the empire.

Li Jinshen stayed where he was, without any movement. He watched the beautifully dressed Empress Furui approaching him calmly, and only slightly lowered his head when the other party came in front of him: "You are here."

No greetings, no titles, just three simple words.

After he finished speaking, he raised his head directly, without any intention of waiting for the empress to excuse him.

This is completely inconsistent with royal etiquette, but no one dares to remind or advise.

There was silence in the banquet hall, and everyone's eyes were dimly cast on the most honorable mother and son in the empire.

Li Jinshen and Queen Furui, who were in the focus of everyone's attention, just looked at each other quietly. Queen Furui didn't speak, and Li Jinshen didn't speak either.

The air between the two seemed to stand still.

The noble who was qualified to stay beside the two held their breath at the same moment.

After an unknown amount of time, the glamorous Empress Furui raised her eyebrows slightly, and silently twitched her lips: "Prince, congratulations."

Her voice was clear and moving, and the expression on her face was gentle and reserved, but there was an unreasonable coldness in her eyes when she looked at the blond prince.

"Thank you queen." Li Jinshen responded succinctly.

Empress Furui chuckled, and Shi Shiran walked forward, as if she had lost the desire to communicate with the imperial prince.

The two passed by.

The air in the banquet hall regained its flow.

The deep and heavy voice of the cello was raised again, and the elegant imperial nobles started a new round of communication again.

Only this time, the words "Prince" and "Queen" began to appear frequently in the content of their discussions. The huge banquet hall was still elegant and unparalleled, but there was a little more treachery that could not be seen under the bustling surface.

Today is the Qianqiu Festival in the 708th year of the new star calendar. For the nobles and ministers present, they all know what this day means.

This day is the 16th birthday of the crown prince of the empire, and it is also the anniversary of the death of the prince's biological mother, the deceased empress.

Today, ten years ago, Xiao Rujin, the empress who had always been frail and sick, passed away, leaving behind a young prince who was only six years old, and a cold and empty Jinhua Palace.

Since then, Li Jinshen has never held a birthday party until today.

The figure of the prince gradually disappeared behind the heavy curtains, and Queen Furui also left quickly after a brief appearance, as if she was just here for a cutscene, without any intention of staying at all.

This undisguised indifference made the nobles who have always had a keen sense of smell notice something unusual.

They exchanged glances with each other. From time to time, some people left the small circle of conversation and tacitly came to the hidden terrace on the side of the banquet hall. After staying for a long time, they returned to the ball again.

The appearance of the current empress, as well as the obviously weird atmosphere between the empress and the prince, cast a shadow over this supposedly joyful banquet.

From the perspective of the nobles, no one wants to see the queen of the empire at odds with the prince.

The emperor's love for Empress Furui is obvious to all, but he has always been indifferent to the imperial prince. In the battle between the empress and the prince, Li Jinshen may not have the advantage.

If the young prince could not control his words and deeds, which caused the emperor's dissatisfaction, it would have an immeasurable impact on the stability of the empire.

Although for most of the nobles, they do despise this successor from the bottom of their hearts, and at the same time agree with His Royal Highness the disgust and rejection of Queen Fu Rui.

Because Li Jinshen has every reason to hate Empress Furui.

——Empress Xiao back then, that gentle and demure woman like spring water, the most beautiful white rose in the empire, was forced to die on the sick bed by this masterful successor.

……

……

Li Jinshen walked out of the banquet hall, his expression completely turned cold when no one was there.

The night wind blows over the high walls of the palace under the moonlight, and the cool night falls.The autumn night was already a bit chilly, Li Jinshen was wearing a thick and warm dress, but he felt a burst of irritating boredom in his heart.

Anger and sadness surged at the same time, drowning him like a tide.

Li Jinshen walked towards the Jinhua Palace expressionlessly.

After he was 12 years old, he had already moved out of Jinhua Palace and lived in the Prince's Mansion outside the palace city of Xiadeng Palace.Except for necessary official duties, he almost never set foot in this palace city.

Except for this one and only day.

For Li Jinshen, this day was never a so-called birthday.

This day is the anniversary of his mother's death.

It was the day when the woman who loved him the most in the world left forever.

Li Jinshen walked slowly in the night alone, with the cloak of the same color as the dress slightly raised behind him, perfectly blending into the night.

He himself was like a dark night.

The leather boots stepped on the lotus pond outside Jinhua Palace, making a clear sound under the cold moonlight.

Standing by the pool, Li Jinshen looked at the quietly blooming night lotuses, with a look of nostalgia in his eyes.

His expression was extremely gentle.

"Prince, what are you doing here?"

A cold voice suddenly sounded behind him, causing the tenderness in Li Jinshen's eyes to quickly dissipate.

His expression became cold again.

The blond prince turned around and bowed deeply to the man who was walking slowly from the other end of the lotus pond.

He spoke softly, but there was no emotion in his voice: "Your Majesty."

This frost-colored man who had just returned from that palace was the emperor of the Xiadeng Empire, Li Jinshen's biological father, the emperor Li Zhan.

"Leaving halfway from the banquet held for you, embarrassing the queen in front of all the ministers and nobles—"

His Majesty the Emperor, who also had short blond hair, looked down at his son condescendingly, his dark green pupils, which were exactly the same as Li Jinshen's, were indifferent.

"This is the crown prince of the Xiadeng Empire, the prince of the empire, and the future monarch of the entire Xiadeng Empire?"

Li Jin lowered his head deeply and did not speak.

Under the silent night, the father and son, who were highly similar in appearance, faced each other silently.

The evening wind gently swept over the two of them, wrinkling the calm water behind them, causing the green lotus leaves to sway gently, driving the blooming night lotus to shake its slender stems, and the delicate and soft lotus petals trembled slightly, like a It changed the woman's usual appearance.

The expressions of the highest-ranking royal father and son of the Xiadeng Empire were different.

They looked at the lotus pond with gentle expressions, but their relationship with each other was extremely cold.

The pride of the royal family made it impossible for any of them to take a step back or extend their hand.

Once a gap exists, it is difficult to repair it.

In the end, the blond emperor closed his eyes as if tired, and waved his hand to signal Li Jinshen to back down.

"Don't do this again."

There was no joy or anger in the voice of the blond emperor.

"You are the prince of the empire, you have to look farther than anyone else."

Li Jinshen responded in a low voice, but didn't say anything, just bowed and retreated silently.

The dark cloak was raised behind him, covering the young prince's immature shoulders, and the crown prince's dress weighed heavily on him, like a shell that could not be peeled off.

Li Jinshen walked forward without saying a word, suppressing the exhaustion and tiredness that suddenly rushed to his heart.

He had to force himself to straighten his back and make a firm and powerful posture in order to support this meaningful dress.

He is the prince of the empire.

He has no right to be weak.

……

……

Li Jinshen walked into Jinhua Palace, stopped in the hall where the fragrance of night lotus was always wafting, and looked softly at the queen's throne in the middle.

Everything here retains the appearance of the former queen during her lifetime.

This was Li Jinshen's insistence and the emperor's tacit approval.

The emperor of the empire seemed to have repented after the death of Empress Xiao, and tried his best to compensate his first wife, so that she could enjoy the utmost honor as an empress.

But even if it is extremely mournful, it does not mean that the past injuries can be easily forgiven.

Li Jinshen still didn't understand why his parents were so well-matched and in love back then, but why they came to such a point in the end.

It's like he didn't understand why that man never came to see his mother when she was in the most serious condition, but now that his mother has passed away for many years, the other party would often stop at Jinhua Palace for a whole night.

At that time, the young imperial prince still didn't understand what he had to do as an emperor.

He just didn't think it should be like this.

Him, mother, father, they shouldn't be like this.

In the beginning, everything was obviously not like this.

His mother, Xiao Rujin, was the most popular noble girl in the Xiadeng Empire back then. Together with Ye Chenxing, who had always been known as the "Red Rose", they were also called the "Red and White Rose" of the Xiadeng Empire.

They were all the most glamorous and dazzling existences that Emperor Star was highly sought after in that decade.

Later, Ye Chenxing married the marshal of the empire, while Xiao Rujin married into the royal family and became the queen of the empire.

The emperor and empress were once the most talked about gods and couples by all the people in the empire.

In the childhood when Li Jinshen's memory was already blurred, he could often see his parents close together. The intimacy was not fake at all. Although he couldn't understand the deep affection in the eyes of the two at the time, he could clearly feel it. The tacit understanding between the two that no one can get in.

All changes started with the appearance of that woman.

Mrs. Furui, the briar rose of the empire, the woman who climbed from the bottom of the General Affairs Office all the way to the top, was ambitious but never concealed it.

When he saw Mrs. Furui beside his father more and more frequently, the distance between his parents seemed to be getting farther and farther.

On the night of Li Jinshen's fifth birthday, the two who had never blushed towards each other had their first violent quarrel.

That night the young Li Jin hid under the blanket, even if he tightly covered his ears, he couldn't cover the angry voice of the emperor and the sharp questioning of the empress in the whole palace.

The Jinhua Palace was deathly silent that night, and all the servants and guards were sent far away.

Only the voices of the emperor and the empress kept ringing, from fierce quarrels to low voices, and finally faint weeping and weak sighs, and then everything fell into silence.

Li Jinshen, who was full of fear, finally couldn't stand the drowsiness and fell into a deep sleep. He didn't know that the emperor and empress had come to his bedside and stared at him sadly for a long time.

Some tragedies are doomed from the beginning.

After that night, there was no more warmth and tenderness in Jinhua Palace.

The emperor of the empire never set foot in this palace again.

This queen's bedroom, representing the supreme power of the Xiadeng Empire, has become a deep, cold and lonely cage.

The news of the imperial queen's serious illness also spread like wildfire, and the once delicate and beautiful white rose of the empire gradually withered away, and was no longer as vibrant as before.

The young Li Jinshen found that his mother began to sit by the lotus pond for a long time, sitting for a whole day.

She would still smile gently at herself, but there was always an ominous sense of decay behind that smile.

Like when—

They'll never see each other like that again.

……

……

That day came so quickly that people were caught off guard.

On the night my mother left, it was raining heavily on Dixing, as if the sea of ​​stars was crying for the withering of the white rose.

There is no light in the dark night sky.

Li Jin knelt down beside his mother's coffin, tightly holding a string of agarwood beads.

That is the bracelet worn by the mother in the arena, and it is a carefully designed intelligent optical brain.

His mother's last words still echoed in his ears.

"Shen, don't be afraid."

"You put on this string of Buddhist beads, and don't throw them away—Mom will always be with you."

The number one beauty of Emperor Star back then was covered with frost between her brows, and her eyes were covered with a layer of gray haze, as if she had exhausted all her vitality in just one year.

But at the last moment of his life, the white rose of the empire seemed to be rejuvenated, and once again bloomed with that thrilling beauty.

She glanced at her young child with nostalgia, her voice was still gentle, as if nothing had changed: "We are sorry for you, son. But please don't blame your father..."

Empress Xiao's voice gradually fell, and she took a last look outside the empty window.

Outside the window, there is no figure of the emperor beside the lotus pond where the night lotus blooms.

There was a farewell smile in her eyes.

"Li Zhan...he is a very good king, but I am not a good queen..."

The young Li Jinshen couldn't understand what his mother was saying, but held down the other's hand in vain, opened his eyes wide, and cried incoherently: "Mom..."

He didn't know why he was crying, but he just had a vague feeling that something bad was about to happen.

He felt that the hand he was holding was holding him in turn, and the heat in the warm palm was gradually dissipating.

That gentle voice finally stopped, and the lingering ending dissipated in the night wind wafting the fragrance of lotus.

"Goodbye, son."

The clasped hands loosened.

There was a burst of crying in the palace, and the weeping maid hugged Li Jinshen, crying for him to take care of his health.

And the young blond prince just sat there blankly, staring at the woman who closed her eyes without blinking.

"Mother……"

His expression was blank, but tears kept streaming down his face.

In 698 of the new star calendar, on the night of Li Jinshen's sixth birthday, the young prince of the empire knew what death was for the first time.

……

……

In the second year, Mrs. Fu Rui became the queen.

There is no grand Jinfeng ceremony, just an ordinary private wedding and a light announcement.

The parliament and the people did not respond to this. The former had already had a premonition, while the latter knew nothing about the truth.

Of course the empire needs a queen, whoever that queen is.

——That is something that only the royal family needs to worry about.

Li Jin watched the woman pretending to comfort him with kind words with cold eyes, and remained silent all the time.

The once carefree prince of the empire seemed to have grown up overnight.

He knows what it means to fight for power and profit, what it means to be warm and cold, and also understands that the so-called royal love is always fragile and vulnerable.

Li Jinshen did not move out of the original palace, dismissed most of the maids and guards, and stayed alone in the empty Jinhua Palace.

I heard that Empress Furui voluntarily requested to keep the former empress' bedroom to show her respect, which was unanimously approved by the Xiadeng royal family.

Such a thoughtful and considerate queen is naturally more favored by the emperor.

She took Li Heng, the child born to the emperor's other lover, and raised her strictly under her knees, treating her as her own, doting on her very much, and her reputation for being virtuous and generous spread more and more widely.

Empress Furui's position gradually stabilized, but Li Jinshen's situation became more and more dangerous.

He is the legitimate son of the former empress, the prince of the empire, noble but unfavored, trembling with every step he takes, but he can't show any timidity.

After the servants left by his mother died in an accident again, he sent almost all of them away and sent them outside the palace to take care of the Hualai Chamber of Commerce left by his mother.

He has grown up, he can live alone, but he is still too weak to protect his loyal subordinates.

The enlightenment education of the crown prince has already begun, but the content they teach is far from enough for Li Jinshen, who is eager to become stronger.

Li Jinshen began to double down on his study and practice secretly.

Holding a heavy book that was half his length, he looked it up in the dictionary word by word, gnawing hard at books of profound cultivation theories and customs of the empire.

He began to appear in all the banquets, standing silently in the corner, and jotted down the names and appearances of those nobles bit by bit.

He no longer stays in bed, doesn't even sleep much, but spends all his time practicing.

No one taught him what to do, but Li Jinshen seemed to know how to survive in this palace by nature, learned to hide his clumsiness without a teacher, learned to show his sharpness selectively, and learned a little bit of his own strength .

Even though he was alone now, Queen Furui, who was sitting on the seat where his mother used to be, looked at him with a gentle expression every time, like honey quenched with poison.

Although he was exhausted every day, he could not allow the slightest slack.

He raised a group of little mice and fed them a little before each meal.

After they all died, Li Jinshen began to only eat the nutritional supplements sent by the Hualai Chamber of Commerce.

Flash is six years.

In the eyes of the high-ranking emperor who had been watching him struggling to survive, he finally began to show a look of satisfaction.

Li Jinshen was allowed to move out of the palace and live in the Prince's Mansion outside the palace.

On the night of living in the prince's mansion, the 12-year-old imperial prince finally had the first complete sleep in six years.

He had thought that everything was going in a good direction.

Little did he know that this was just the beginning of a deeper rift between him and the emperor.

……

……

What really broke their father and son was the night of Li Jinshen's 12th birthday.

That night, he walked into the lotus pond outside Jinhua Palace as usual, approaching the familiar palace silently.

The Jinhua Palace was still silent, no one had been here since Li Jinshen left.

Only this night seemed a little different.

The indistinct sound of arguing floated from a distance in the night, the voice was extremely low, and the content of the speech was vague and indistinct.

"Enough! No matter what, he still has the most orthodox blood of the Li family!"

"He is the only child of Ah Jin and me!"

"—but his mother was a half-breed!"

"Have you forgotten why you brought Furui back back then—you know what happened to Xiao Rujin back then—you also know that Li Jinshen's pheromone imbalance will break out after differentiation—"

"How can a royal family that is not under control, and will even be controlled by others, become Xia Deng's future emperor!"

……

……

Two equally deep voices were arguing in a low voice, passing through the heavy curtains in the deep palace, but they never fell into Li Jinshen's ears.

He just walked through the palace with light steps, and at the same time was a little strange.

There seems to be traces of someone coming here.

Fresh, undusted footprints.

He walked to the back of the main hall and stretched out his hand to open the bead curtain.

An angry voice sounded at the same time, and it fell into Li Jinshen's ears accurately——

"Don't forget—Xiao Rujin was killed by you!"

"Bang!"

Suddenly there was a violent sound in the empty hall. At the entrance of the side hall, a pale Li Jinshen stood where he was, surrounded by the entire bead curtain that he accidentally tore off.

Colorful gems and sequins were scattered all over the floor, and the reflected crystal light fell into the eyes of the blond prince, like a teardrop that was about to fall.

Standing in the hall, the two looked at him at the same time, with different expressions in their eyes.

Imperial Emperor Li Zhan, and his brother Li Zhanyi.

Li Jin looked at his father deeply, his voice was so broken that it was almost impossible to tune, but a weak breath escaped from his throat tremblingly: "Father...what were you talking about just now?"

This is the first time in six years that he picked up this long-lost title.

However, Li Jinshen knew that this might also be the last time he called his father that way.

In the silence, only the helpless but persistent questioning of the blond boy sounded out.

"...Mother, who killed her?"

"why?"

"--Why!"

"..."

no respond.

The two adult royals looked at the young prince with a sad face and a precarious figure, and they just responded in silence, without giving any explanation.

Li Jin understood what they meant, and felt that anger and despair surged towards him screaming at the same time, almost swallowing his sanity completely.

He opened his mouth, but found himself speechless.

His eyes were extremely sore, but he couldn't shed a single tear.

Only the dark green eyes that were burning with anger set off shocking waves, and the scorching light burst out suddenly, releasing it unreservedly together with the strong killing intent.

Regardless of the situation, as if he wanted to risk everything, he burned his own strength.

His spiritual sea was shaking violently, countless stars were gradually lit up, and at the same time they burst into dazzling light——

Under the stimulation, Li Jinshen broke through from the first level to the third level in one fell swoop!

He set the fastest promotion record in the history of the Shadden Empire——

A strong energy storm is forming, and the sudden burst of power in a short period of time has caused Li Jinshen's mental sea riots, making him fall into a dangerous state of ignorance.

He has no other thoughts at the moment, and his heart is full of anger and powerless mourning.

"Om-"

That power vented from his spiritual sea, and swept away towards the entire palace with a roar and hatred that could not be vented——

"Boom—woo."

This spiritual storm that gathered all of Li Jinshen's strength was easily resolved.

Li Jinshen heard the emperor sigh regretfully, and then felt a tearing pain from the spiritual sea.

"--Well!"

Exhausted of strength, he fell backwards uncontrollably and fell into the darkness of ignorance.

……

……

"His Royal Highness?"

Faintly, Li Jinshen seemed to hear someone calling him in a low voice.

"His Royal Highness? His Royal Highness—"

……

……

"Mother--"

"—!!"

16-year-old Li Jinshen woke up suddenly, and pressed the string of beads on his right wrist.

He paused for a few seconds, then stroked the corners of his eyes in disbelief.

On the cheeks that were blown cold by the night wind, there were traces of warm water meandering.

The author has something to say: Hey, today is another day of liver explosion!

The second one will drop during the day!
