Swap, the involutionary regent palace fight also forced me to rebel

As expected, the three words "Anhui Palace" come into view.

A gentle female voice came from the hall: "Xiao Zhe, is school over?"

"Xiaozhe" is Yunji's nickname. As for the reason, we have to start from the day he was born.

When Yun Ji's mother was about to give birth, the war in the north was tense and Dali suffered repeated defeats.

The late emperor, who had been weak for most of his life, was inspired to unprecedented passion by the crying princesses and concubines, and made a bold decision - to lead the army in person.

The civil officials in the court were used to being weak, and when they heard the news, they were more sad than losing another city in the north.

They cried and screamed, "There is no prince in the court, and your majesty has no brothers. If your majesty dies for the country, there will be no one to succeed you. Please think twice!"

Most of the generals were fighting at the front lines, and the only one left in the capital to coordinate the situation was Nan Yi's father, Nan Chong, who was the Minister of War at the time.

Unlike the pessimistic civil officials, he felt that it was a blessing for Dali that the late emperor was willing to go to the front line to boost morale. You must know that Beishuo was about to attack the capital, and if nothing was done, the capital would probably have to be moved.

From now on, it is hard to say whether Dali will still exist. With the country destroyed and the race extinct, can we still say that there is no successor?

Praising the late emperor's rare bravery, Nanchong denounced the civil officials for being greedy and afraid of death: "With the enemy at hand, if we don't do anything and just hide in the capital, won't we be slaughtered by others?"

With the support, the late emperor became more determined to go to the war. He was such a weak man, but he was brave only this time - he did not adopt the opinions of moving the capital, abandoning the people, and fleeing the city. Instead, he gave it a try and went to the front line in person.

However, what the civil officials said was true, the country needs an heir...

The late emperor was extremely anxious as he didn't know whether the baby in Concubine Jing's belly was a boy or a girl. He couldn't sleep at night before going to the war.

In order to calm his mind, the late emperor took the eunuchs with him to visit the Imperial Master's Mansion and asked the Imperial Master to calculate the child's gender.

The Imperial Master had long stopped interfering in worldly affairs. He calculated that the late emperor would come to seek advice, but he did not want to get involved in the matter, so he simply instructed the boy how to reply and then went to sleep.

In the early morning, just after dawn, the late emperor came to visit.

The boy half-closed the door and conveyed the imperial teacher's meaning - "Everything has its destiny."

The late emperor looked at the sign “Do not disturb unless it is your destiny” posted at the door of the Imperial Master’s house and fell into a brief silence.

The late emperor found that if he wanted to know the gender of the unborn baby, he could only ask the imperial preceptor for help. The emperor had no other choice but to pester him and yell at the door of the imperial preceptor's residence without any manners.

The Imperial Master was so annoyed by the late Emperor that he couldn't sleep well. He had no choice but to get up, wash and dress himself to meet the guest.

Under the earnest request of the late emperor, the imperial teacher reluctantly calculated a fortune.

This calculation made the imperial teacher very happy. The little baby who was about to be born was actually a prince born during the Waking of Insects, and he had unusual characteristics.

The Jingzhe solar term itself symbolizes the spring back to life, and for Dali, which is already on a downward trend, the implication is extremely beautiful.

The birth of this little prince on this day, doesn't it mean that he is a turning point for Dali?

When the late emperor heard the imperial teacher's unusual request to "enter the palace and tell another divination when the new prince is born", he knew that this child should not be underestimated.

He quickly sent someone to keep a close eye on Concubine Jing's belly, fearing that something might happen to her.

Upon learning that the child was a boy and would become a great man, the late emperor's anxious heart finally settled down.

The next day, he led his troops to the front line.

About half a month later, accompanied by rumbling spring thunder, Concubine Jing finally gave birth to a little prince.

The child was born with his eyes open, and he never cried or made a fuss no matter how much he was teased. He just looked at everyone with his round eyes.

Normally, the eyes of an ordinary child should be full of innocence, but the little prince's eyes, as clear as lake water, reveal a calmness that ordinary babies do not have.

At first glance, it's quite scary.

Even though the midwife was experienced in delivering babies, it was the first time she had seen such a scene. She was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. She congratulated him casually, then quickly packed up her things and hurriedly left Anhui Palace.

Except for Concubine Jing who overexerted and fell asleep, and the Imperial Master who was more and more surprised when he saw the little prince's unusual purple eyes, everyone else was dismissed by the Imperial Master, and they retreated in panic and waited outside the palace.

The Imperial Master was not as calm and composed as usual. He sighed that "purple air condensed in his eyes" and could not wait to make another divination based on the little prince's time of birth.

Upon seeing the result, the Imperial Master almost cried out in surprise.

It was an extremely good fortune, even better than the one he had gotten before!

However, this child's fate was a blessing for Dali, but bad for him...

Forget it. How easy is it to change fate?

The Imperial Master put away his compassion and organized his thoughts.

He opened the door of the temple and announced to the outside world that this boy would experience things that ordinary people could not experience, and would bring good fortune to Dali.

Considering that he was the turning point for Dali's revival, the imperial teacher gave him the name "Ji".

The good luck brought by Yun Ji soon showed up. The mountains were far away and the road was long. Before the emperor arrived at the northern border, good news came from the front line.

When the soldiers heard that the new prince was born and the emperor himself had come to the front line, their morale boosted and in just a few days they had recaptured many cities.

Beishuo was afraid and wanted to sign a contract with them, so they sent Prince Helian Ding to the Dali Palace to discuss the division of territory.

As expected, the contract was signed quickly and smoothly.

Yun Ji was born amidst the rumbling thunder of Jingzhe, bringing good fortune to Dali. This also attracted the attention of the imperial teacher, who bestowed upon him a name.

Concubine Jing was very proud of this. She was afraid that everyone would forget the good luck that Yunji brought, so she simply used the word "Jingzhe" as Yunji's nickname, and called him by it every day.

"Xiao Zhe," Concubine Jing saw Yun Jiguang standing outside and persuaded him in confusion, "Come in quickly."

Concubine Jing called out again and again, as if she would not give up until she got a response.

Yun Ji felt a knot in his heart as he listened to her voice becoming more and more anxious.

Is my mother very sad because I didn’t respond?

He lowered his eyelashes, barely suppressing the fear in his heart, clutched the corner of his clothes, stepped over the threshold, and slowly walked inside.

Yun Ji was short, had short legs, took small steps, and was trying to delay, so it took him a while to move in front of Concubine Jing.

It was rare for Concubine Jing to be dressed neatly and wear light makeup.

She wore a emerald hairpin with gemstones on her head and a palace dress with colorful brocade patterns. She was making cakes with her sleeves rolled up.

Seeing Yun Ji come in obediently, Concubine Jing was very satisfied and started to giggle, making a sound unusual for ordinary people.

She pursed her lips slightly, her eyebrows were curved, and she looked as shy as an unmarried girl. Her cheeks were well maintained and there was not a single wrinkle on them.

"Xiaozhe, mother is making pastries. Wait a little longer, it will be ready soon," Jing Fei said, turning her head to signal Yun Ji to go to the chair beside the table, caring for her child like an ordinary mother, "Are you tired from school? Sit down and take a rest."

She was talking about the most common topics, and her appearance was gentle and her voice was kind, but it made Yun Ji, who was sitting gently next to the stool, shiver.

The mother had red eyes, a focused and paranoid look, and the corners of her mouth were always raised.

Is she...sick again?

Is it because my father didn’t come to Anhui Palace today?

"What did the Grand Tutor teach you today?" Concubine Jing asked seemingly unintentionally, but her eyes were calm before the storm. "Tell mother."

Hearing this, Yun Ji shuddered.
