Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 244 Prince of Southern Chu
The young man in red robe lying on the jade railing lazily turned his head when he heard the sound, his eyes narrowed slightly on his handsome face.

His whole body is soft and rotten as if he has no bones, but when he looks at people like this, it seems like a sleeping tiger suddenly opens his eyes, which makes people feel chills.

Even though he has been with him day and night for many years, Chen Zihan still instinctively shudders every time he sees this look.

But fortunately, the red-clothed boy looked at it twice and lay back on his stomach. He said expressionlessly, "Zihan, you're here."

"Second Highness, don't scare me, I'm just joking, why are you like this?" Chen Zihan walked up to the young man from behind, with lingering fear in his heart.

"Why are you still on duty in the palace tonight?" The red-clothed boy didn't answer him, but turned his back to the young guard and said calmly, "Shouldn't you take a rest today?"

Chen Zihan frowned slightly when he heard the words, clenched the long knife at his waist, and said lightly, "It was so, but when I got home, I found that my elder brother was back, and he said he would stay at home for two days."

"My mother, you know, if you see me, you can't be sure and ask me to compare with that person." Chen Zihan's disgust flashed across his face, "What's the point of comparing for so many years, why not continue Return to the palace on duty."

"So you changed shifts and came back just to hide yourself?" The red-clothed boy chuckled when he heard the words, "How rare is Xiu Mu, so what if you just competed with your big brother?"

There was a trace of hostility in the boy's eyes, "It's not like you can't compare to him."

"Compared to him so what?" Chen Zihan remained expressionless, "So what if all Nanchu knows that I am better than him?"

Could he be able to replace that person's position as the son of Yuan's wife?Or will his mother be able to get rid of the position of stepwife as she wishes?

"Besides, the primary ceremony is coming, but I beat our Nanchu's stepson all over the place to find his teeth?" Chen Zihan looked at the thin young man beside him speechlessly, "Second Highness, are you alright? Are you still Our Second Highness of Nanchu?"

Under the night, Chen Zihan, the second son of the Great Sima of Southern Chu, silently looked at Jiang Yuan, the second son of Jiang Liang, the king of Southern Chu, and Jiang Yuan, the Second Highness of Southern Chu.

I wondered if this prince of Nanchu was a spy sent by the enemy country?
"There is no one else here. I told you, just call me by my name." The red-clothed boy looked at the guard beside him lightly.

"Okay, no problem," Chen Zihan nodded, and called out in a polite manner, "Jiang Yuanyuan."

With a bang, a chestnut exploded above the head of the young guard, and Jiang Yuan, the Second Highness of Nanchu, Jiang Yuanyuan withdrew his hand, "How long will you continue to call this name?"

Chen Zihan looked helplessly, "It was you who told me that your name was Jiang Yuanyuan and not Jiang Yuan when you first met me."

The young man in red was startled, looked at the bright moon in the sky and stopped talking.

"Yuanyuan, after mother leaves, you can ask your father if you have anything to do in the future."

Jiang Yuanyuan was the name given to him by his mother in the cold palace when he was a child. When he was just born, the man didn't even think of giving him a name.

If it wasn't for that man's son who died one after another for some unknown reason, that man would probably never remember that he still had a son left in the cold palace for the rest of his life.

And just after Jiang Yuanyuan's mother died, no one expected that His Royal Highness, who was originally in good health, would suddenly fall ill and stay in bed forever, and he was finally taken out of the cold palace by the Southern Chu King.

He was asked his name, and the man was silent for a moment when he heard his name, and then said, "You will be called Jiang Yuan from now on."

Overnight, Jiang Yuanyuan became Jiang Yuan, and the unknown prince in the cold palace became the hottest Second Highness of Southern Chu.

Jiang Yuanyuan seldom explained these things, and few people in this world could call him by his name, except for the careless young man in front of him who didn't need to inherit the family business and was determined to live without fear.

"You can call if you want," Jiang Yuanyuan lazily leaned back to the railing, "Why did you suddenly mention the former Qin princess just now?"

Chen Zihan froze, thinking that all this trouble had been exposed.He imitated Jiang Yuanyuan's appearance, let go of the handle of the knife and leaned on the railing, looked up at the moon and said relaxedly, "Isn't it because our Highness is hurting the moon here?"

"Which eye of yours saw that I was hurting?" Jiang Yuanyuan glanced at him.

"The former Qin princess has arrived, and you didn't even see her face, and His Majesty let her live directly in the National Teacher's Mansion." Chen Zihan patted him on the shoulder, "After all, it's your original fiancée, it's normal to be sad. Brother and I I understand, you don't have to be embarrassed."

Even if he doesn't need to inherit the family business, this kid is too presumptuous. Jiang Yuanyuan just wants to throw this kid under the high platform.

Looking at the rare bright smile on the young guard's face, Jiang Yuanyuan's eyes were speechless, but also a little complicated.Although Chen Zihan usually concealed it a lot, but every time he came to this time, he would realize that the "cold-faced guard" in the eyes of the Nanchu Palace was indeed the younger brother of the "Peach Blossom Prince" Chen Zichu of Jixia Academy.

"Others don't know, don't you know?" Jiang Yuanyuan said calmly against Chen Zihan's teasing gaze, "You know very well how this engagement fell on Ji Jiashu."

Chen Zihan withdrew his smile, and quietly looked at the sixteen-year-old red-clothed boy in front of him, but it was already hard to see the shade.

That's right, others don't know, but he, the confidant of His Highness the Second Highness, knows it all.

Know exactly what kind of means this weak young man has.

For example, how he secretly manipulated the court of Nanchu, so that the king of Nanchu would open his mouth and reward the people below him with the marriage contract that would have fallen on him.

"You clearly know that I'm not interested in that woman," Jiang Yuanyuan said lightly, "Why did you suddenly think of mentioning her?"

"Really not interested?" Chen Zihan glanced at him, and then surrendered under the young man's scrutiny, "Well, when I went home, I met my elder brother, said a few words, and mentioned that woman."

Jiang Yuanyuan nodded. Chen Zichu went out of the city to pick up the princess under Ji Jiashu's instruction. This matter had already come from the border, and the Royal Intelligence Department had already received the news.

But Chen Zichu looked frivolous, but he knew the seriousness very well, so it was impossible to talk too much with Chen Zihan.

For example, what happened in Jixia Academy today.

Otherwise, Chen Zihan would be interested in another woman at this time.

"My elder brother didn't say anything, but officials at the border had seen the princess before, and there was a lot of news," Chen Zihan leaned on the railing and laughed, "I heard that she is a beauty."

"I asked my elder brother, and he didn't deny it. If he didn't deny it, the proof should be good." Chen Zihan looked at Jiang Yuanyuan and said, "You don't regret it?"

"Regret?" Jiang Yuanyuan chuckled. Since he became the Second Highness, he has never seen any beauties. How many Nanchu families want to put beauties on him, but what he needs is not these. "My marriage must be sold at a good price. .”

The young man smiled lazily, the smile not reaching his eyes.

What he needs is help, and what he needs is a backer.He no longer has a powerful mother clan. If he wants to gain a foothold in the court, survive in this harem, and snatch that seat from his eldest brother, his first wife must be able to bring him enough power.

But these, the former Qin princess did not have.

"Compared to this, I am more interested in another news," Jiang Yuanyuan said lightly.

"What news?" Chen Zihan opened his eyes wide.

"The intelligence department just sent news," Jiang Yuanyuan squinted his eyes at him.

"Jixia Academy today has a female bachelor."
