Chapter 225 Past events (1)
Realizing that someone was talking to him, Shi Yunan nodded and then lay down on the table.
Most of his face was buried in his arms, and his eyes slowly closed unconsciously.
In the hazy chaos, he seemed to hear someone calling his name.
"Shi Yunan! Shi Yunan! Wake up! It's already this late and you're still sleeping. Get up quickly!"
So noisy...
Who is calling him?
Shi Yunan frowned and slowly opened his eyes. What came into view was the face of a strange man with long hair. He was wearing a royal blue brocade suit and looked like a young man from a wealthy family.
"You finally woke up. It's been almost an hour since get out of class ended. Why did you fall asleep here?"
"After class?"
Shi Yunan blinked in confusion.
"Did you fall asleep? Let's go to Confucius' private school to study together today."
"Confucius?"
Shi Yunan's eyes widened. Confucius, could it be...
"Are you hungry? Let's go eat. I heard that Shanmeilou has launched a new dish today. I think you will like it according to your taste."
Before Shi Yunan could answer, the person in front of him pulled Shi Yunan up, grabbed his sleeve and ran out.
It was not until this time that Shi Yunan looked up and realized that the environment here did not seem to be a private room in the central building.
Strange, wasn't he drinking with them?
What happened after drinking?
When they stepped over the threshold, they saw the bustling street market, the shouts of merchants, the bargaining of customers, and the candied haws sold in the streets.
None of them were wearing modern clothes, but long gowns, jackets, short coats, skirts, and Hanfu, which were all clothes worn by people in ancient times.
Shi Yunan stared at it blankly, then realized what was happening and lowered his head to look at the clothes he was wearing.
This is not the white shirt he wore when he came to drink, but an ancient costume!
He traveled through time?!
No, maybe he entered the dungeon without knowing it?
Thinking of this, Shi Yunan quickly called upon his system.
However, the system did not respond at all, as if it had never existed.
Shi Yun'an was annoyed. This broken system was not working well. It always failed at the critical moment.
"Shi Yunan, what's wrong with you? Why are you in a daze after waking up? Could it be that you have really become stupid from sleeping? Confucius was right. Sleeping for too long can easily lead to dementia."
The person who was pulling his sleeve was muttering something and wanted to reach out and touch his forehead. Shi Yunan stepped back reflexively.
Seeing the other party's increasingly suspicious eyes, Shi Yunan was about to speak when there was suddenly a commotion on the street.
"It's the prince! The prince is here in person!"
"His Royal Highness!"
"Get out of the way, no one is blocking the road!"
A group of people dressed as guards came forward and pushed the people blocking the road back to the side of the road. Behind them, an extremely luxurious carriage quickly passed by.
Shi Yunan looked up and saw a breeze blowing by, lifting the curtains of the car window, revealing a stunningly beautiful face inside.
"Xi Jingzhi..." Shi Yunan's heart was beating uncontrollably.
The person in the carriage seemed to have heard the voice, and looked over coldly. The usual love and attachment were gone in the charming fox eyes.
The look he gave Shi Yunan at this moment was like a cold poisonous snake, tightly wrapping around its prey, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
"......" Shi Yunan's eyes widened, and his heart, which had been beating rapidly, gradually returned to normal.
The carriage passed by quickly, raising a cloud of dust.
"You're crazy! Why did you just address His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by his name?"
The young man in royal blue brocade clothes tugged at his sleeves frantically, shaking them left and right, raising his hands as if he wanted to put his hands on his shoulders.
But after looking at his expression at the moment, the man gave up.
"You, why are you doing this? You know it's impossible, why are you still dreaming?"
"What are you dreaming about?" Shi Yunan's cold voice sounded, and the man's voice suddenly weakened.
"No, nothing, forget it, let's go eat first, or we'll miss the new signature dishes."
……
Shi Yunan felt that he might have really traveled through time, or rather, he had entered someone's dream.
This is the Xicheng Kingdom. Xi is the royal family name, and Xi Jingzhi is the current crown prince and the rightful heir to the throne.
The Crown Prince is now twenty years old, and the Queen has taken great pains to select the Crown Princess.
One of the reasons is that the prince does not even have a concubine in his room, and he usually does not have contact with any women. He used to claim that his focus was on studying.
This can no longer be used as an excuse.
The second reason is that the prince is actually in a relationship with Long Yang, and everyone in the world knows it.
However, no one dared to go to court and threaten to depose the prince.
why.
Because Xi Jingzhi is cruel and ruthless, his style of doing things is ruthless and he leaves no way out.
Anyone who offended him would be beheaded at best, or his entire family would be buried with him at worst.
Although the prince acted so cruelly, he also cared about the world. He often helped the poor people and avenged grievances and revenges.
When the enemy invaded, it was the prince who led the troops to fight alone, killing all the enemy soldiers. After signing the truce agreement, he brought a hundred years of peace to the Xicheng Kingdom.
Not only that, the prince also worked hard himself, doing farming, building waterways and land routes, and engaging in trade, bringing huge wealth to the Xicheng Kingdom.
All in all, Xi Jingzhi is a good future crown prince in the eyes of the people.
However, in the eyes of some aristocratic families and his brothers and sisters, he is a thorn in their side.
It is rumored that when the prince was wandering outside, he had a childhood sweetheart, and the two of them spent a long time relying on each other.
Until the prince was found and his childhood sweetheart disappeared and died, the prince became more and more depressed.
Gradually, people began to speculate whether the prince liked his childhood sweetheart, which was why his temperament changed drastically after his beloved died.
So there were people in the palace who wanted to please him. They once found a portrait of his childhood sweetheart and specifically looked for someone who looked like him to enter the palace to serve the prince.
Unexpectedly, when the prince found out, he was furious and swiftly dragged out and beheaded all the people involved in the incident.
From then on, no one dared to bring bad luck to the prince.
Unexpectedly, two years later, someone dared to offend the prince again.
The Shi family is one of the four great families. They claim that their eldest son is the childhood sweetheart who always accompanied the prince when he was young.
When the Queen was choosing a wife for the Crown Prince, she sent her eldest son disguised as a woman to sneak out.
As a result, before they could even meet the prince, the entire Shi family was executed.
Finally, I heard that the crown prince spared the eldest son's life out of pity, but the next three generations were not allowed to serve as officials in the court.
