I pretend to be a unicorn in the Red Mansion
Chapter 25: Kirin Appears
Something big happened in the capital, and the emperor brought the deposed prince back to the palace. It was said that the deposed prince was vomiting blood and would not live long.
Everyone was wondering what the emperor meant by this. Was he going to appoint another crown prince? Was he going to depose the crown prince? This was the third time, and they were all very upset.
Thinking of the scenes of the two previous dethronements of the crown prince, as well as the casualties of their relatives and friends, these ministers were really scared.
The ministers were all panicked and each went to visit the prince they had relied on to discuss countermeasures together.
The deposed crown prince must not be allowed to ascend the throne, otherwise their service to the throne would be wasted. This was what all the ministers who placed their bets on other princes thought.
Moreover, the deposed crown prince had been deposed twice, and his psychology might have become abnormal. If he came to power, would they still have a good life? This was the voice of all the ministers.
For a time, the capital was in turmoil, and the emperor's action led to all kinds of speculation.
The Fourth Prince closed the door and did not allow anyone to visit. At this sensitive moment, he became even more silent and less willing to interact with ministers.
The character of the Fourth Prince has always been that of an upright and loyal minister, who would not have close relations with ministers.
The Fourth Prince not only refused to see the ministers, he also refused to meet with the leaders of the Zhenghong Banner and the Han Army's Bordered White Banner, which he was in charge of. He was determined to keep quiet.
Seeing his fourth brother like this, the Thirteenth Prince also learned to be low-key.
Compared with the deserted Fourth Prince's Mansion, the Eighth Prince's Mansion next door was bustling with important officials of the court visiting one after another.
Wang Ziteng did not go, but conveyed a message to the Eighth Prince in his own way, expressing his support for the Eighth Prince.
The Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince were even more proud and complacent, thinking that they had followed the right person and that the Eighth Prince's ascension to the throne was just around the corner.
The Eighth Prince has many supporters. He is convinced that he can defeat his brothers and sisters to become the crown prince. He will never allow the deposed crown prince, that waste, to take the throne again.
The position of crown prince should be held by the capable one.
The battle for succession is about to begin.
No matter how turbulent the outside world is, it has nothing to do with a powerless family like the Jia family.
Jia She spent a peaceful time accompanying Jia Cheng in his studies, and he also had to teach his companions in advance.
Jia She would not let these people see Jia Cheng until he had trained these children to be loyal to Jia Cheng.
The four study companions selected by Jia She were Jia Yun, Jia Hao, Jia Jing and Jia Ke. The first two were younger than Jia Cheng, but not much older than him. They were also sensible and clever, and had a strong desire to study.
Jia She wanted them to accompany Jia Cheng in studying and playing, so that if they were trained well, they could become Jia Cheng's helpers.
As for Jia Jing and Jia Ke, they are not very smart but they are physically strong and are good candidates for martial arts training. Jia She puts these two people next to Jia Cheng in order to protect him.
If these two people are successful in martial arts, they can be sent to the army for training and they can also be helpful to Jia Cheng in the future.
In Jia She's heart, Jia Cheng is a god who came to the mortal world to gain experience, and he should give the little Qilin the best.
As for Jia Cheng, Jia She was afraid that he didn't give enough to him. Even though he had thought of everything for him, he still felt that he owed him.
If Jia Lian knew this, he would probably faint in the toilet crying.
But he is still in Yangzhou now, enjoying the scenery of Yangzhou.
In order to let Jia Cheng experience the world of ordinary people, Jia She often took Jia Cheng to the market to play and bought him all kinds of snacks and toys.
Jia Cheng also likes these things, but he always acts indifferent, as if these things have no special meaning to him.
He had seen all kinds of toys in his previous life, so he just looked at the ancient things as curiosity.
Mrs. Xing felt even more uneasy when she saw Jia Cheng's appearance. She felt that Jia Cheng's heart was no longer in this world and he could leave at any time.
She began to monitor Jia Cheng's every move more closely, not wanting him to leave her sight.
Jia She thought Mrs. Xing was simply crazy; women just think too much.
Since Jia Cheng chose to be reborn into his family, it means that they are destined to be together and he will definitely not leave.
In order to prevent Mrs. Xing from going crazy, Jia She could only try his best to separate the two.
Jia Cheng complained about the system in his mind, "Tongzi, it's all your fault. You made me take all these random pills. Now my mom thinks I'm going to become an immortal."
The system pointed its finger at him in grievance, [That's for your own good. You must show your differences from a young age so that you can be taken seriously. Otherwise, how can you get in touch with people with strong luck?]
The system took on a physical form, flapping its wings.
Jia Cheng looked at the little sparrow that suddenly appeared, his eyes flashed, and suddenly he had a good idea.
He ignored the system and browsed the skin-selling section of the system mall. Then he saw the various physical skins selected for the system.
He flipped through the pages for a long time before he came to the section on mythical beasts in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
The system noticed Jia Cheng's action and asked in confusion, "Cheng Cheng, what do you think the system is using physical skin for? You can't wear it."
Jia Cheng clicked on the Qilin entity and nodded with satisfaction when he saw that the price was acceptable.
After Grandmother Jia gave him most of the luck, Jia Cheng became extremely rich and could accept prices of thousands of luck points.
Seeing that Jia Cheng ignored him, the system continued to mutter, "Cheng Cheng, why are you looking at these entities? They are so expensive and I can't afford them."
Are you, such a stingy person, going to buy it for me? How is that possible?]
The system talks to itself.
Jia Cheng directly spent his luck points to buy the Qilin entity, and then gave it to the system.
The system directly transformed from a sparrow into a sparrow-sized Kirin, which looked like a small Kirin figurine.
The system is confused.
[Cheng, Cheng, what are you doing? Why did you suddenly buy me a skin? This is Qilin.
This is too expensive. Why are you so wasteful? You should save more.]
The system was both excited and distressed. With so much luck points, it could have saved a well on its planet.
If we had clean well water, more people could survive.
The system didn't understand why Jia Cheng bought a physical object for himself. Jia Cheng smiled and explained, "Follow me, we are comrades in arms fighting together, I won't treat you unfairly."
Sparrow really doesn't fit your identity, Qilin is much better, it matches the origin I made up very well.]
Jia Cheng looked at the touched expression on the Qilin face of the system and continued happily: [If you and I are of the same mind, I will take the initiative to buy things for you. I can give you what you want, but you can't steal or betray me.]
Jia Cheng had threatened the system before and modified the ratio of luck distribution. He knew that he couldn't exploit it too harshly. He had to give it a slap in the face and then a sweet treat in order to train the system well.
Just as Jia Cheng had expected, the system swore to be good to Jia Cheng, and he no longer harbored any selfish motives.
The relationship between the man and the leader became closer because of a physical skin of a unicorn.
Jia Cheng smiled gently, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.
Jia Cheng was communicating with the system brotherly, and Jia She walked in excitedly with a pile of ancient books.
Jia She knew that Jia Cheng liked reading and had recently become interested in medicine. In order to make Jia Cheng happy, Master Jia, who had always liked fans, began to collect books.
Jia She laughed excitedly, "Haha, Shuanbao, look what Daddy found for you? It's said to be Hua Tuo's medical book. I... huh?"
Jia She's laughter and the excitement on his face came to an abrupt end when he saw the little Qilin on Jia Cheng's shoulder.
He almost couldn't catch his breath.
The system saw Jia She's dazed look and asked worriedly, "Brother Cheng, you really won't let me become invisible? I was seen by your father."
Jia Cheng recalled how good Jia She was to him, and raised his favorability towards him to over 60, and then he spoke cautiously in his heart, [Dad, what's wrong? Why is he stunned?]
Jia Cheng's pretended doubtful voice sounded in Jia She's ears.
Jia She quickly adjusted his expression and pretended not to see Qilin.
Then Jia Cheng continued: [Dad has been looking at my shoulder, what did he see?]
Jia Cheng glanced at the system in confusion, as if it didn't see him.
After hearing what Jia Cheng said, the system knew that this guy was acting again, so it stopped talking.
Then Jia Cheng told the system, [You can disappear.]
The system turned invisible instantly upon hearing the command, which scared Jia She.
He seemed to have seen a Qilin just now, an animal the size of a small bird, with a lion's head, deer horns, tiger eyes, elk's body, dragon scales and an ox's tail. Its tail was hairy like a dragon's tail and it had a fleshy horn.
This is exactly the same as the Qilin described in the book.
But now he couldn't see it anymore. Jia She thought that his eyesight was blurry due to old age, so how could he see the Qilin?
But Jia She was still confused in his heart and couldn't help but look at Jia Cheng's shoulders.
Jia Cheng seemed not to notice Jia She's abnormality. He was enjoying himself in the ocean of knowledge every day. It was obvious that he was very attached to the human world and it was impossible for him to ascend to become an immortal.
His behavior made Mrs. Xing feel relieved. As long as her precious son had something he liked, it was enough.
Jia She never had the worries that Mrs. Xing had, but he had another thing to worry about.
The child Jia Cheng is reading faster and faster. In the past, Jia Cheng did not show his ability of photographic memory and was just a little smarter than ordinary children, but now he has changed.
Jia She guessed that Jia Cheng no longer wanted to pretend to be a normal child. He could read ten lines at a glance and had a photographic memory, which showed that he was born with extraordinary abilities.
However, after watching for a long time, Jia She gradually accepted it. After all, in his heart, Jia Cheng was the reincarnation of a unicorn, and it was normal for him to have abilities.
It would be abnormal if his son was like a normal child.
Jia She was worried that Jia Cheng would exhaust himself. Later, he discovered that he had some dementia and wondered how Qilin could exhaust himself like a normal person.
Jia Cheng did not hide his supernatural powers in front of Jia She at all, and seemed to be getting more and more like his character of the mythical beast Qilin.
Not only has her appearance become more refined, but sometimes she has a cold face and exudes a kind of cold and ethereal temperament that makes people dare not look directly at her.
And her smile is like a spring breeze, making people feel warm inside.
Especially now that it is summer, Jia Cheng's sweat is fragrant and pleasant. Jia She feels that his brain becomes clear and he feels extremely happy just by smelling it.
Some of the pains in my body seemed to disappear temporarily.
Jia She deified Jia Cheng more and more, and his favorability towards Jia Cheng kept rising, almost reaching 100.
The system feels that its host is really good at pretending to be capable.
The eldest family lived a happy life. Jia She and Lady Xing had become Jia Cheng's believers and were almost ready to worship him with a board.
Jia She felt a little regretful that he could not offer sacrifices day and night.
He could only be kind to Jia Cheng with all his heart and wanted to give Jia Cheng the best of everything.
After the companion was trained, Jia She began to dislike the maidservants around Jia Cheng, and the servant he had chosen before was also disliked by Jia She.
How can these lazy, ignorant and brainless servants of the Jia family be qualified to serve their own divine son? Humph╯^╰.
So Jia She planned to buy maids and servants from outside the mansion to replace the servants in the mansion.
Jia She knew that foreign slaves needed to be trained, but the Jia family's domesticated sons were not as useful as the wild slaves bought from outside.
If the wild slaves are properly disciplined, they will be loyal to them for life, and the relationships between those house-born children are complicated, and it is not certain which one is Mrs. Wang's spy.
So Jia She found ten matchmakers with good reputations and asked them to bring well-trained servants to Rongguo Mansion.
When these matchmakers saw that this was a big business, they immediately came to the Rongguo Mansion with their good-looking servants.
Jia Cheng was held in Jia She's arms and pampered like a great ancestor, but the six-year-old child was still very active.
But Jia She seemed to have received a great benefit, as if being able to hold Jia Cheng in his arms was a gift from the Unicorn.
The system couldn't stand it any longer, [Brother Cheng, are you pretending too much? Look at Jia She, he doesn't look like your father at all, isn't he your grandson? He really treats you like his grandfather.]
Jia She had never been so doting on Jia Cheng before, but ever since he saw Qilin, Jia She has been doting on this son wholeheartedly.
From the system's perspective, Jia She seemed to have been bewitched.
Jia Cheng knew why Jia She was nice to him, it was all his calculation.
In ancient times, everyone believed in supernatural things. He let Jia She see his true form, so Jia She naturally did not dare to neglect him.
He is smart and studious. He has a bright future and will bring glory to the Jia family. Jia She is not stupid, so of course he will treat him well.
Every time Jia She approached him, he would scrape off a little foam from the rejuvenation pill that could cure all diseases and put it in a teacup for Jia She to drink.
Jia She thought that it was because he was close to Jia Cheng, the divine beast, and received the beast's protection that all his illnesses were cured, but in fact it was the effect of the rejuvenation elixir.
A rejuvenation pill is worth a lot, but with the way Jia Cheng feeds Jia She, one pill can be used for several years.
The effects of the rejuvenation pills are cumulative. After taking one rejuvenation pill, all the symptoms on Jia She's body will be cured.
At that time, Jia She would definitely firmly believe that this was the benefit he gained from serving Jia Cheng.
Then Jia She would serve Jia Cheng more wholeheartedly and would do everything he could to pamper him.
Jia Cheng knew that Jia She's kindness to him was mixed with admiration, expectation, family interests, and personal interests.
Jia Cheng was not afraid that Jia She would ask something of him. People with desires are easier to control and can be used by him.
Jia Cheng is very satisfied with his current life. He has everything he needs, and Jia She and Lady Xing spoil him to the utmost.
Jia She's current appearance is completely different from what he looked like not long ago.
