Chapter 1: The Sick Ninth Prince

The quiet and gorgeous bedroom was disrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! Great joy, great joy..."

Before the little eunuch could finish shouting, he was interrupted by the big palace maid Hongdou at the door.

"What are you shouting! Your Highness is still asleep, I'll talk about it later."

"..."

The small chatter came from outside, and the person on the bed couldn't help pulling up the quilt, trying to shrink into a ball and covering their ears.

After a while, the boy's resentful voice couldn't help but come out from inside.

"red beans--"

The big palace maid guarding the door gave the little eunuch a fierce look, turned and walked in. In the spacious and beautiful bedroom, there were several pots of silver charcoal growing on the ground, and the whole room was extremely warm, like spring.

Zhou Huaiyan was lying on the bed, with black hair scattered everywhere. The rays of the early morning slanted in and outlined the profile of the young man. Zhou Huaiyan looks exactly like his mother, and there is a bit of the heroic spirit of the Jiang clan between his eyebrows.

Hongdou shook her head, trying her best to look away from the master's face.

He didn't seem to be awake yet, so he sat motionless on the bed, subconsciously playing with the jade beads on the curtain with his fingers,

Ding ding dong dong, the sound of collision is particularly clear and pleasant.

Soon, the palace people carrying the toiletry utensils drooped their eyes and poured in like water.

Zhou Huaiyan was served, dressed and washed, with a lazy expression.

"It's so early, if it wasn't for the great joy, my Highness would definitely punish you for not sleeping for three days."

The little eunuch knelt on the ground, looking scared but more excited.

"Go back to His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, Duke Wei arrived in Beijing last night and entered the palace early this morning!"

"Uncle is back?!"

Zhou Huaiyan woke up instantly.

His biological mother was the younger sister of Duke Wei Jiang Yi, but unfortunately she died early in childbirth. In order to appease, the emperor sent the newly born Zhou Huaiyan to the Duke of Wei to be raised for a few years, and also used this to recall the Duke of Wei who was stationed in the north to the capital.

But five years ago, foreign races began to continuously harass the border. Duke Wei was ordered to patrol the north, and now he has finally returned.

"It's really a big joy, reward!"

The boy's eyes lit up. Red Bean couldn't help but reminded,

"His Royal Highness, you also need medicinal food."

"Don't eat, don't eat!"

"This can..."

"--no!"

The last two words were suppressed by Duke Wei's majestic and rich voice. Before Zhou Huaiyan could react, the palace people in the palace fell to their knees.

Ning Guogong was born as a general, joined the army at fifteen, and guarded the border for decades. A pair of tiger eyes looked at him, very terrifying.
