Heaven is fearless

It was almost deep winter, and the capital snowed continuously day after day. Chu Zhang packed up the chess records and some books that Shao Tianheng had given him, and walked out of Chengming Terrace with two young eunuchs.

It’s still snowing outside the door, but it’s just a thin layer of snow. Chuzhang grew up in the hot and humid mountains in the south, and has almost never seen the vast snow in the north, so he often looked out of the window in the first few days. Fascinated, but these days he gradually got used to this kind of scenery, and he won't show overly out of place curiosity.

The little eunuch assigned to him by Shao Tianheng draped a heavy fox fur cloak over his shoulders, while the other opened a big oiled paper umbrella, and the three of them stepped into the vast white snow almost silently.

Chu Zhang reported to Shao Tianheng's Yaoyi Palace every day for half a month, saying that he was being taken to learn chess, but Shao Tianheng's knowledge is shockingly profound, and the longer he stays with him, the more he can feel the almost innocence of the other party. Unknown magic.

The maid in charge of the Yaoyi Palace, Ying Guang, had already been waiting outside the door with an umbrella, and when she saw a group of three people coming, she bowed her knees and saluted slightly: "My lord."

Chu Zhang followed her into the door, and the sudden rise in temperature made his face tingle and hot. The palace servants surrounded him and skillfully and gently took off his cloak and wet hair crown and outer boots. At the beginning, Zhang was not used to being served so thoughtfully, but after a few days, he gradually got used to it.

He stretched out his hand for the maid to untie the tie, and asked Ying Guang, "Is Your Highness awake?"

Ying Guang replied with a smile: "It's snowing a little bit today, Your Highness used half a bowl of porridge for lunch, and he's still sleeping now, it's rare that His Highness can sleep a little longer, we didn't bother to call, my lord is waiting outside for a while." wait."

Chu Zhang couldn't help laughing when he heard it. Although he has seen how poor Shao Tianheng's health has become in the past few days, he can't be too cold or hot, and he can't breathe well when the weather changes, but he still can't eat. How can he feed? His Highness eating an extra bite is almost a serious problem for the entire Yaoyi Hall.

He clearly knew that it had been snowing for the past few days, and Shao Tianheng hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time, so when he heard Yingguang say that he had fallen asleep, Chu Zhang couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief: "Take the chess game that you didn't finish last time Then come here, His Highness wakes up to take the school exam, I'll take a look."

Yingguang smiled and beckoned to the little maid. Chu Zhang made sure that the moisture all over his body was dried, and then followed Yingguang into the warm pavilion in the side hall.

The Nuan Pavilion was the same as when he first came here. It was still painted with large landscape screens and layers of curtains, and the thick and dense blankets moved silently. Chu Zhang did not walk towards the bed. He knew that Shao Tianheng felt shallow. A little noise and light would wake him up, so he quietly walked to the window and sat cross-legged on the Arhat bed.

Immediately, a silent inner eunuch dragged a table and gently put it in front of him, and the maids put a plain white enamel flask on the table, with an elegantly shaped red plum in it. , against the huge round stone blue window screen, the drowsy sky outside the window casts the freehand landscape on the window screen in front of him, making Chu Zhang feel the meaning of "noble elegance" in the Central Plains for the first time in his life .

The chessboard was placed in front of him by the court lady, the black and white colors on it were intertwined, and a light and warm fragrance wafted from the golden incense burner placed next to the piano table, and the light smoke lingered and flew up, like a ghost floating in the void. He picked up a cyan phoenix with slender tail feathers, and the atmosphere was peaceful and peaceful for a while, which made Chu Zhang feel as if he wanted to drown in it.

Suddenly there was an extremely slight rustling sound in the inner room, Shao Tianheng seemed to wake up, the well-trained court lady gently lifted the curtain that blocked the light, Chu Zhang looked towards the screen, and only saw shadows vaguely like a dream in the fog shadow.

Shao Tianheng raised his hand to ask Yingguang and the others to dress him, and heard the law whispering meaningless nonsense in his ears, urging him to teach Chu Zhang how to be a good leader of the human race, and then they can go to the next one The son of luck.

Shao Tianheng was a little helpless.

[Where can those things be taught? ] Tiandao has learned enough things from the evolution of the world for tens of thousands of years, but after losing the way to break through all laws with one force, he can only promote Chu Zhang's progress little by little according to the rules.

[But he's going to marry that princess next fall, and he'll be out of the palace by then, and you won't have the chance to teach him! ] The law murmured and refused to give up.

Shao Tianheng let out a "huh", thinking that this is a troublesome matter, and he always felt that, as a hostage to the subjugation of the country, Chu Zhang seemed a little too unambitious.

He didn't seem to hate the great Wei who destroyed his country at all, nor did he hate him, the chief culprit who led the army to attack. What's more, Shao Tianheng actually saw in his eyes that he wanted to live in such a peaceful and stable way!

How does this work? !

No matter how powerful he is, can he force an unambitious person to rebel? !

Without rebellion, how could Chu Zhang become the leader of the human race under the control of the unified Wei Dynasty?

Shao Tianheng thought coldly, maybe Chuzhang is not suitable for the teaching method that is too gentle?Or should he find a way from Chu Tianfeng to stimulate Chu Zhang's ambition a little bit?

When Shao Tianheng turned around the screen, Chu Zhang had already stood upright. Seeing him approaching, his eyes immediately burst into unmistakable joy: "Your Highness!"

It's that look again.

Shao Tianheng frowned in his heart.

[He seems to like you very much. ] Although no one could hear, Law kept his voice down like a child speaking a secret.

[What's the use of liking?] Shao Tianheng felt a headache when he met that gaze, [I'd rather he hate me, so my efficiency can be higher. ]

[This sounds cruel. ] Law thought for a while, and felt a little sympathetic to the young man in front of him whose body was beginning to open.

[If I hadn’t been cruel to him, it would have been me and the world that would have died. ] Shao Tianheng's tone is still gentle and peaceful, but the meaning in his words is a bit cold.

He said this to the law, but subconsciously avoided Chu Zhang's gaze.

Chu Zhang's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He didn't understand what happened just now, but at that moment, he felt some kind of fear that made him shudder, and he would not mistakenly believe that Shao Tianheng definitely avoided his sight just now. .

--why is that?

Chu Zhang thought about it blankly, but his body still saluted instinctively: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince."

Shao Tianheng waved his fingers at him, hummed lightly, and lazily tilted his body to the side of the Arhat bed, and the palace servants who had already had agile hands and feet piled pillows as soft as clouds on top.

Chu Zhang put aside the perception just now, and smiled at the person in front of him who admired him: "Your Highness, I went back and thought about it, this game of chess is actually..."

His words were suddenly cut off by Shao Tianheng: "I won't talk about that today."

The man leaning on the pillow is twisting a string of red sandalwood bracelets with one hand. The emerald gourds on the bracelets are hung with long stone-blue tassels. He is twisting the beads with one hand, his eyes are half-opened and half-closed, and the eyelashes are shadowed. It fell under his slightly blue eyelids, as if he was tired again, and when he finished speaking, the maid on the other side understood it and came up to remove the chessboard from the table.

Chu Zhang asked cautiously: "...don't play chess today? Then...what do you want to say?"

Shao Tianheng didn't speak. After a brief silence, he sighed, and suddenly talked about the wrong thing: "Did the people from Si Li Fang go to your place to answer?"

Chu Zhang was stunned for a moment, remembering that Aunt Chen kneeling in front of him in tears that day, hesitated for a moment, and replied: "...Yes."

Shao Tianheng slightly opened his eyes and looked at him: "How did you do it?"

Chu Zhang opened his mouth and closed it again.

Aunt Chen was the palace maid who was in charge of teaching him and his mother etiquette, but it wasn't until she was punished by His Royal Highness that time that she knelt down in front of him and said a lot like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, that he didn't know that Aunt Chen was indeed teaching his mother etiquette He is right, but he should not be taught by a court lady.

In southern Xinjiang, Chu Tianfeng was the queen, his mother, and an insurmountable mountain above him; but in the Great Wei Dynasty, he was the Duke of Dingnan conferred by the emperor, with a salary and a land in southern Xinjiang. His mother was just a titled princess in name only, and her biggest reliance was her status as the crown prince's side concubine. That is to say, according to the rules of the Great Wei, he, Chu Zhang, was a more important figure than Chu Tianfeng.

Aunt Chen was sent to teach the etiquette of the prince's concubine, but she didn't have the ability, let alone the qualification to teach a duke.

The person who taught him should be the internal eunuch of the Seventh Rank in charge of Si Lifang, and the things he learned... are not what a man should learn at all.

This is a humiliation to him, vicious, but vicious enough.

Aunt Chen insisted that it was her own assertion that looked down on Chu Zhang and wanted to give him a bad impression, but the clumsy Chu Zhang didn't bother to expose this lie. Hearing Shao Tianheng ask him this, his heart skipped a beat.

The prince should not like someone who is too hostile. If he shows a little bit of dissatisfaction, will he lose the prince's favor?And as a proton, he shouldn't have shown any gloomy discontent.

Chu Zhang's thoughts turned twice quickly, and hesitantly replied in a low voice: "Aunt Chen has already explained... I don't think it's a big deal..."

Shao Tianheng closed his eyes expressionlessly.

Chu Zhang felt as if in that brief glance, he saw the disappointment that made his blood coagulate.

"Your Highness?" he asked in a low voice.

Shao Tianheng twirled the warm beads in his hand: "From tomorrow onwards, you don't need to come here."

Chu Zhang's heart shook violently, and he raised his eyes suddenly, the panic in his eyes almost tore his pupils apart.

Before he could ask why, Shao Tianheng continued in a flat voice: "Go and listen to Taixue's homework, you are not required to be a champion, get to know more people of the same age, and raise your spirit, and go out with the Eastern Palace Sign, don't lose the people from the Eastern Palace."

What he said was almost ruthlessly mean, the blood on Chu Zhang's face was gone, and he just stared at the other party in a daze.

Then Shao Tianheng seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "You can also visit your mother once in a while."

After saying this, Shao Tianheng stood up, with his long hair draped over his shoulders, and the edge of his snow-white and loose robe was pressed with a noble and thick silver cloud flying bird. He was like a god, and he pronounced his fate to Chu Zhang , and then left without mercy.

Leaving Chu Zhang behind, Tiandao knocked on the law: "Did I hint clearly enough? Tell him to visit his mother more, Chu Tianfeng must be thinking about how to rebel at the moment, precepts and deeds are very important! I If you can’t teach him, let his mother teach him first.”

Law is a bit embarrassed, it is still looking at Chu Zhang's expression: "I think...he seems to have been hit a bit hard..."

Tiandao was inexplicable: "What blow? It's okay. It's probably because I saw me when I first came to Wei, and I have a baby bird complex. When he gets along with those little bastards from princes and noble families and learns more about their ways, he probably won't so……"

He thought about it, and summed it up lightly in one word: "The vision is narrow."

Law didn't speak, it was still looking at Chu Zhang secretly, the young man who was left behind, looked really special and pitiful.

But it's useless to talk to Tiandao, Tiandao doesn't have those actual emotions at all.

Sigh... I still feel that the child of luck is so pitiful...
