I govern the country by beauty

1. I am the emperor of a small country next door to the eight major kingdoms of Kyushu. My Taifu and my father have taught me since I was a child that I have to do my best for the country.

I deeply engraved these four words in my heart. Now the country is not peaceful and the people are uneasy, and the eight neighboring countries are eyeing my land covetously.So when the Dazong, one of the eight great countries next door, sent an envoy, I decided to take the lead and go to battle in person.

2. In fact, I was not the prince who was drafted in the earliest edict. After all, when I was just born, if it weren't for the thumb-sized thing under my crotch, the nanny almost regarded me as a princess.Father didn't like me very much either, saying that my appearance was too soft and charming, and I didn't have the slightest majestic royal air.

I was wearing a bright brocade robe and turned my head to look at the four older brothers above me, the prince with big and small eyes, the second brother with deep wrinkles on his face like ravines, the third brother with calves thicker than thighs, There is the fourth brother who has a pair of red phoenix eyes and smiles every day.Although the fourth brother is smiling all day long, my other brothers and sisters are afraid of him, saying that he is meticulous and vicious.

But I'm not afraid of a man who is much shorter than me, let alone he is in a wheelchair.

3. The prince and the second brother and the third brother always bully me. I dare not cry in front of my father, so I can only sneak to the imperial garden to cry at night.Once, I ran too fast with my head sullen, and suddenly knocked my fourth brother's wheelchair by the lake. I thought my fourth brother was also pushed down by me, so I jumped down with my breath held.I searched the bottom for a long time without seeing anyone, and when I finally surfaced, I found my frail fourth brother sitting on a stone bench and smiling at me.

The moonlight shone on him, making him even more graceful, especially those fox-like eyes, which made one's heart itch.

"What are you doing?" The fourth brother asked me with a smile.

"I'm looking for you."

"Looking for me in the lake?"

I nodded dryly, and climbed out of the lake with my hands on the ground, my wet clothes stuck tightly to my body.The fourth brother who was sitting on the stone bench waved to me, maybe the moonlight was so beautiful, I forgot for a moment my concubine mother's advice to stay away from the fourth brother, and walked over like a lost soul.The brocade boots were full of water, and they seemed to weigh a thousand catties when they walked.I stood in front of the fourth brother, watched his slender white fingers brush the water droplets on my chin, then smiled and said to me: You can’t find me in the lake, and I’m not a fish.

Yes, you are not a fish, you are a vixen.

Of course I didn't dare to say that.

4. When I saw my fourth brother again, he was still sitting in the same wheelchair that fell into the lake that day, as if everything that day was a dream.Until the prince took off my pants again in front of many court ladies and eunuchs, I once again met the fourth brother in a light bamboo-colored brocade robe in the imperial garden.He didn't ask me why I was crying, and I didn't say anything, I just sat next to him and cried enough.

It wasn't until I was almost crying that the fourth brother poured a cup of hot tea and pushed it in front of me: "Drink some water, your voice will become hoarse from crying."

I dare not complain to my father, he will only think that I am worthless, and I dare not tell my concubine, because my concubine's temper is worse than that of my father.I looked at the thin legs of the fourth brother under the loose brocade robe, and suddenly felt a special feeling of sympathy with him.Immediately, he talked about how the prince bullied me and how he laughed at my appearance.

The fourth brother didn't speak, just stared down at the teacup in front of him, until I said that he took off my pants this afternoon, the fourth brother's hand on the table moved slightly.

"Did he take off your pants?"

I looked at my fourth brother's glazed eyes, and nodded in a daze.

Later, the prince died.
