At the gate of Chonghua Palace

Nanny Liu finally saw the little prince return and hurried to greet him.

"What happened to your little prince? Why are you so wet?"

When Madam Liu saw the little prince's current appearance, he was soaked all over, his hair was wet and had a few strands of water plants stuck to it, she quickly asked with concern.

Someone came to the eldest prince's palace today and said he wanted to invite the seventh prince to play together.

Nanny Liu tried her best to dissuade the Seventh Prince. Since the Seventh Prince lived alone in Chonghua Palace, he was often bullied for no apparent reason. He often went out clean and came back covered in injuries.

When Empress Shufei was alive, she was the most favored concubine in the harem because of her stunning beauty.

The seventh prince was precocious, had a photographic memory, and possessed an extremely high IQ. He could learn anything in one go and had a sweet mouth. Every time the emperor came over, the little milk-cheeked seventh prince would always call "Father" and make Emperor Jing laugh heartily.

Only in Chonghua Palace can the emperor feel the warmth of an ordinary family, without any calculations or having to rack his brains.

Even though Concubine Shu's family was just an ordinary fifth-rank official family and could not provide any help to the Seventh Prince, the emperor's favor alone made his status far higher than that of the eldest prince Chu Chengze and the legitimate son Chu Linzhou.

The seventh prince also had a happy childhood before he was three years old.

later.

Concubine Shu caught a cold and took medicine after medicine prescribed by the imperial physician for more than half a year, but the condition did not improve.

The emperor visited her more frequently at first, but later, seeing that Concubine Shu was bedridden, he came less and less frequently.

In the end, even with the combined efforts of the entire Imperial Hospital, they were unable to keep Concubine Shu.

After Concubine Shu left, although the jealous concubines and princes did not dare to do anything to the Seventh Prince openly, they always used some dirty tricks to punish the Seventh Prince in private.

Everyone knew that the eldest prince had no good intentions in asking the seventh prince to play with him, but the seventh prince insisted on going.

Although Nanny Liu was the Seventh Prince's wet nurse, she was ultimately just a servant and could only follow the Seventh Prince's opinions.

"The Seventh Prince accidentally fell into the water while playing just now. Fortunately, this girl rescued him. The imperial physician has checked him out and he is fine. He just needs to rest well."

"We have already brought His Highness back safely, so we will go back first."

Farewell guards.

Nanny Liu quickly carried Chu Moyuan back to the palace, and Xia Youan followed in.

Seeing that His Highness did not stop him, Nanny Liu didn't know what to say. After all, it was this girl who saved His Highness, and she looked very embarrassed now.

There is no reason to chase away customers at this time.

"Young Prince, how about we find two smart servants to follow you? Are the eldest prince and his men bullying you again?"

"Be careful with your words!" Chu Moyuan scolded calmly.

"Your Highness, I will be more at ease when you go out next time since someone is accompanying you.

Even if I can't protect you, at least I can inform you in time, unlike now, where I don't even know what happened."

"No need!" He was completely calm, not like a kid of his age at all.

Chu Moyuan was initially accompanied by two young eunuchs.

Ever since his mother passed away and his father became estranged, Chu Moyuan has been constantly bullied by the other princes.

Since they couldn't bully him, they tortured the people around Chu Moyuan.

Xiao Qingzi and Xiao Dezi, one protected him from disaster, and the other was beaten to death.

My age will always stay at ten years old, and I will never have the chance to grow up.

Looking at Xiao Dezi, who was beaten to a bloody mess, with his hands hanging down and no longer breathing.

At the age of four, little Mo Yuan felt the evil of human nature for the first time.

His mother always taught him to be kind, but who would be kind to him?

Seeing that the people who were kind to him left him forever one by one, Xiao Moyuan did not cry, but silently distanced himself from everyone.

He didn't know who would be the next victim, Madam Liu? Or Sister Xiaotao, or Eunuch Lu...

Chu Moyuan didn't want anyone else to die because of him, so no matter how Madam Liu persuaded him, he refused to let anyone new into Chonghua Palace.

Today, Chonghua Palace is becoming increasingly dilapidated, with few servants left.

Nanny Liu took out a blanket and wrapped Chu Moyuan in it. While wiping his hair, she muttered, "Your Highness, I'll help you wipe your hair first. Eunuch Lu will bring in some water later so we can bathe and change your clothes. Although it's summer now, it's easy to get sick if you soak in the lake water. Don't be careless."

"Take her down to bathe and prepare some clean clothes. She's so dirty!"

He was clearly concerned about Xia Youan catching a cold, but his words were so cold.

Weird kid!

"Miss, there are few people in Chonghua Palace, so please forgive me for not taking good care of you. I am so grateful to you today. If you hadn't saved His Highness, I really don't dare to think about the consequences."

"Auntie, you're too kind. It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning."

When Aunt Liu heard this name, she was taken aback, but she didn't get too upset.

"Come with me." Aunt Liu smiled and called on Xia Youan to follow.

-

Soaking in the bathtub, with his hands hanging naturally on the edge of the tub, Xia Youan finally calmed down and thought about the current situation.

At first she thought it was all just a dream, but this dream was too real. The feeling of chest tightness when sinking into the water, the feeling of being soaked in the warm water in the bathtub, and the details of the surrounding environment all showed that it was all real.

Real! Exist!

Did I travel through time?

Haha~ That's ridiculous! You must have read too many novels!

After Xia Youan went to college, when the lights in the dormitory were turned off at night, a group of young ladies would start sharing the novels they had read recently.

With the recommendation of my younger sisters, I read a lot of fantasy, time-travel, and period novels.

"Is this a novel reflected in reality?" Xia Youan said self-deprecatingly.

Let's take it one step at a time, and make the best of it.

If it is a dream, you will always wake up. If it is a time travel, you will always find a way to go back.

The problem now is how to stay in Chonghua Palace and not be driven away during this period.

Asking for shelter or repaying a favor?

Ahhhhhhh~ I’m so annoyed!
