Chapter 1208 Joy of Life Old Six
The heavy rain poured down like the Milky Way, covering the sky and the earth.

Endless water droplets are flying around, like countless strings jumping in the air, performing a piece of nature's music.

It was also as vast as smoke, as if a curtain of water was hung between heaven and earth.

The raindrops chase each other, crash into the ground, and splash countless crystal clear water splashes, which is pleasing to the eye.

As it poured down, it instantly covered the earth in a mist.

The raindrops fall on the buildings, trees and ponds, making crisp and pleasant sounds, as if telling the story of rain.

The rainwater from the roof gathered into streams and dripped down the eaves, forming small waterfalls.

The raindrops on the window panes flowed in lines, like tears pouring out their thoughts.

On the street, puddles were rolled over by the wheels, creating ripples that looked very beautiful.

Such a beautiful scene is actually a tragedy unfolding. In a huge courtyard house on the outskirts of Daqing Kyoto, a woman with a beautiful face is giving birth in pain.

The extreme pain during childbirth is far less than the grief in the woman's heart, because at this time she has realized that she has been poisoned by her lover, and she can feel that her body functions are rapidly fading away.

Logically speaking, a woman's physical condition should not lead to hemorrhage during childbirth, but hemorrhage occurs mysteriously and inexplicably.

So the woman guessed that someone must have done something to her, and the only person who could do such a thing without anyone knowing was her heartless man.

"Wow……"

As a baby cried, the woman finally showed a relieved expression. She had really poured everything into this newborn child.

The sweaty woman looked at the blindfolded warrior and said, "Wuzhu, I'll leave my leisure time to you from now on."

"Yes! Miss." The warrior wearing an eye patch responded in a foolish manner, as if nothing in the world could change his expression.

"Let the child take Fan Jian's surname. Bring the child to the old Fan Mansion in Danzhou immediately. Old Madam Fan and Fan Jian will definitely make all the arrangements."

"Yes! Miss."

"Go! Remember to protect Fan Xian's safety along the way."

"Yes."

The eye-patch warrior took the newborn baby and placed it in a bamboo cage, then disappeared into the rainy night outside with a "whoosh". However, outside the mansion, a large number of killers appeared and chased after the eye-patch warrior.

But the dying woman showed an expression of relief, because her story had ended so tragically, and everything that followed belonged to the child in the cradle.

At this moment, a very majestic young emperor stepped out from the shadows. He looked at the woman lying on the bed with a look of shame on his face. "Qingmei, please don't blame me."

"Emperor Qing, just for a small financial power in the inner treasury? You are so cruel as to kill me, your confidante?" At this time, Ye Qingmei, who was lying on the bed, looked at Emperor Qing in front of her in disbelief and asked back.

"I'm sorry! Qingmei, your power is truly too immense now. Not only do you control the financial power of the Southern Qing Inner Treasury (Qing Yu Tang), but Chen Pingping from the Inspection Institute is also loyal to you. How can I sleep peacefully with you?"

"shameless."

"Haha, for the sake of my Daqing country and people, what's wrong with being a shameless person?" However, at this time, Emperor Qing had the same momentum as Cao Cao, who would rather betray the world.

"..." At this moment, the furious Ye Qingmei felt the unbearable pain in her abdomen again. She immediately made a bad judgment in her heart, and then she couldn't help but curse at the end, "Oh no! It's actually the fucking double sticks?"

"Hmm..." Emperor Qing, who was standing in front of the bed, was also stunned, and then he witnessed the birth of another child of his own with his own eyes.

Of course, even Emperor Qing himself couldn't tell whether he was surprised or happy. He suddenly regretted being so cruel and disloyal to this woman. After all, she was his confidante who had given birth to his children.

Soon, Ye Qingmei and Emperor Qing gave birth to their second child smoothly. Emperor Qing was naturally surprised and ran forward to cut the umbilical cord with his own hands, and then held the baby carefully in his arms to protect him.

The surprised Emperor Qing approached Ye Qingmei holding the newborn child, forgetting that he was the culprit who caused the woman's tragedy. "Qingmei, our sixth child is born."

"Qing...Emperor Qing," but at this moment, Ye Qingmei, with her lamp extinguished and her oil running out, could no longer see her child. She could only look at Emperor Qing in front of the bed with a face full of pity and plead, "Please be kind to our poor child."

"Don't worry! Both children will be safe and sound, and will definitely become wealthy men and princes of Daqing." Emperor Qing, with a guilty look on his face, naturally assured the woman on the bed.

"Emperor Qing, you bastard! If I have another life, I will definitely stay away from you, the scum who killed his wife."

"..."

After confirming that Ye Qingmei had completely passed away, Emperor Qing, who was holding the child, noticed the palace maid outside the bedroom and said, "You... come in."

"Yes! Your Majesty." The palace maid naturally ran back trembling with fear and knelt down to pay her respects.

"What's your name?"

"Your Majesty, I am Liuzhu, the young lady's personal maid. My surname is Li, and my ancestors have been from Qingzhou for generations."

"Well, from now on you will be my Consort Li Chen, and the Sixth Prince Li Chengning will be your son. You must keep today's secret from the Sixth Prince."

"Yes! Your Majesty."

When the baby in the cradle was held in the arms of the newly appointed Consort Li Chen, Emperor Qing strode out of the suburban villa. It was obvious that he had no attachment to Ye Qingmei and the two children.

You must know that Emperor Qing only has the imperial power of Southern Qing in his eyes. Anyone who can threaten his power is his mortal enemy. It is impossible for such a person to treat anyone sincerely.

The baby in Li Chenfei's arms did not cry or make a fuss, but just stared at everything around it with its big eyes like gongs. However, the newborn with zero vision could only look at it in loneliness.

The baby in Li Chenfei's arms is naturally the familiar Su Ning to readers. She never dreamed that she would experience the "fetal god", and she never expected that this time she would become the twin brother of Fan Xian, the protagonist of "Joy of Life".

……

"Joy of Life" is naturally the personal solo show of the male protagonist Fan Xian. His legends are circulated both in the government and among the people, so Suning has no intention of competing with Fan Xian.

In the next few years, Suning grew up little by little from a baby, and gradually gained a clear understanding of the fantasy world of this new era.

It’s just that Suning not only doesn’t like playing with his brothers and sisters in the palace, he also doesn’t like being intimate with Emperor Qing, the master of Nanqing. So he always gives people the feeling that he is too high-brow and keeps to himself.

Every day, apart from practicing his cultivation techniques, Suning spent the rest of his time reading books in the Sutra Library in the palace, acting like an invisible figure in the Nanqing Palace.

No matter how hard the characters in the outside world work, I remain calm and do my own thing. The turbulent struggles for power and profit in the world are just an illusory game.

A little kid who was only a few years older than the seven-year-old Su Ning caught up with him and asked, "Sixth brother, are you going to the Treasury Pavilion again?" "Why? Second brother, do you have any objection?" Su Ning stopped and turned to look at the second prince Li Chengze with an expressionless face.

"Huh? Lao Liu, how many times have I told you not to call me "Lao Er" with such an unpleasant name, okay?"

"If you have something to say, say it! If not, get out." However, Suning's attitude towards the second prince Li Chengze was not very good.

"You..." As expected, the young Second Prince Li Chengze was cunning but not deep.

At this time, Suning naturally turned around and left. He had no intention of continuing to entangle with the second prince. You have to know that this harmless guy is actually a huge bitch.

However, the Second Prince Li Chengze was chasing after Su Ning in frustration, "Sixth Prince, can you please stop being so repulsive?"

"..."

Seeing that Su Ning really didn't want to pay attention to him, the Second Prince Li Chengze explained loudly with a bitter face, "Sixth Brother, I want to take you out of the palace to play today. My cousin Lin Wan'er will also be with us."

"No! I still have to read." Suning was naturally not interested in acting with this little brat. It was meaningless to compete for favor in front of the dictator Emperor Qing.

"Sixth Brother, you read books every day, do you still want to take the imperial examination?"

“Reading is an enjoyment and a pleasure. It allows us to escape from the hustle and bustle and immerse ourselves in a quiet world. No matter when and where, we can find happiness and comfort in books.”

"Uh?"

"Alright! Thank you for the invitation today, second brother. I really have no interest in leaving the palace."

"..."

Then Suning naturally left here in big strides, and finally got rid of the entanglement of the second prince Li Chengze. Of course, he understood that this guy was not as simple as he seemed.

At such a young age, he started to form cliques among his brothers and sisters. No wonder he played the Crown Prince Li Chengqian to death when he grew up, and in the end he almost let him sit on the throne of Nanqing.

Unfortunately, the master of Nanqing has always been the ruthless Emperor Qing. In the end, Emperor Qing forced the second prince Li Chengze to rebel, and then became a dead soul under the butcher knife in the hands of Emperor Qing.

In the imperial study, Emperor Qing, who had a wide range of interests, was fiddling with the accessories of a suit of armor. "Eunuch Hou, I heard that the Second Prince, Li Chengze, took his brothers and sisters out of the palace for an outing today?"

"Yes! Your Majesty, the Second Prince is still very much like an older brother." The personal eunuch at this time naturally said something nice with a smile.

"Oh? Did the Sixth Brother go?" Emperor Qing then asked about the unknown person in the palace.

"Hmm? Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince has always enjoyed quietness. He only interacts with Princess Lin Wan'er on weekdays. He spends most of his time studying in the Treasury. His academic performance is the best among the princes and nobles in the palace."

"Humph! This kid! He always has this attitude of keeping people at a distance. I don't know who he inherited this personality from."

"..." At this time, Emperor Qing's personal eunuch Hou Gonggong wisely remained silent.

"Go! Send my set of writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone to the Sixth Prince." In the end, Emperor Qing still set his sights on the set of the four treasures of the study.

"Yes! Your Majesty."

"Also, select a master from the palace guards to teach him horse riding and archery. How can a good man be weak and vulnerable?"

"Yes! Your Majesty, I understand."

Being able to become the personal eunuch of a dictator like Emperor Qing, Eunuch Hou must have some skills. He has long noticed which prince Emperor Qing favors the most.

However, Emperor Qing, who was at the peak of his career at that time, had never thought about his successor. Instead, he was always on guard against the group of dragon sons and grandsons under his butt. So now, whoever among the princes jumped the most excitedly would be the most dangerous one.

Eunuch Hou trotted all the way to the most secluded place in the palace. Li Chenfei, a concubine of Emperor Qing, had never been favored by the Emperor. "Your Highness the Sixth Prince, this old servant has been ordered to bring you the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone gifted by the Emperor."

"Just leave it there!" Suning said casually.

"Eh? Yes! Your Highness."

Su Ning, who was reading at this time, looked up and found that Eunuch Hou had not left yet. Naturally, he looked at Eunuch Hou expressionlessly and asked, "What? Eunuch Hou, do you have anything else to say?"

"Your Highness the Sixth Prince, you haven't yet knelt to thank the Emperor for His Grace."

"Humph! The Emperor and I are originally father and son. Why would we need such hypocrisy?"

"Huh? Your Highness the Sixth Prince, etiquette cannot be abolished!"

"Alright! I have two masterpieces by famous authors that I copied myself. Please take them to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager."

"This……"

"What? Are you still not satisfied with the exchange of gifts?"

"Yes! Your Highness the Sixth Prince, I will take my leave."

Then Eunuch Hou had no choice but to leave with the two famous books, but he was wondering in his heart why the Sixth Prince was so cold. The old eunuch, who couldn't figure it out, could only shake his head bitterly and go back to report.

However, these two famous books are naturally what Suning uses to practice calligraphy on a daily basis. After all, no matter how good he was in the past, it is useless. Now he can only revise it step by step according to the procedures.

However, when Emperor Qing and the Empress Dowager saw Su Ning's unique thin gold script, they were naturally delighted as if they were treasures. You know, ordinary gifts would hardly be valued by them.

"Eunuch Hou, why did the Sixth Prince suddenly feel like giving me a calligraphy piece?"

"To your Majesty, today the Emperor was pleased with the Sixth Prince's diligent study of poetry and literature, so he bestowed upon him an extraordinary set of writing brushes, inkstones, paper, and inkstones. The Sixth Prince then presented two personally copied masterpieces by famous authors as a return gift."

"Haha, it seems that I have benefited from the emperor's influence."

"..."

"This box of preserved fruits was freshly made in my small kitchen. Eunuch Hou, please take it and give it to the Sixth Prince as a reward."

"Yes! Queen Mother."
