His name was Xiao Xiuyuan, the fifth prince of Great Yan.
From the day he learned to walk, he was unlike the other princes. While the Crown Prince studied, he chased dragonflies in the imperial garden. While his third brother practiced swordsmanship, he fished by Taiye Lake. While his fourth brother memorized the Analects, he lay on the rooftop watching the clouds. When the Grand Tutor told him he was beyond teaching, he nodded with a smile. “You’re right, Tutor.” When his father asked what he wanted to do when he grew up, he said, “I want to open a tavern in Jiangnan and sell osmanthus wine I make myself.”
The officials throughout the court shook their heads and sighed. The empress, on the other hand, was relieved. A prince like that posed no threat to anyone.
He truly had no interest in competing. He wasn’t pretending; he genuinely didn’t want any of it. The throne was too hard, there were too many memorials, and every day he’d have to rise before dawn to attend court, dressed like a rice dumpling and kneeling to pay his respects. His knees couldn’t take it. He had seen his father labor over memorials late into the night, his eyes red from the cinnabar ink. Beneath the dragon robe, there were no dragon scales, only exhaustion and loneliness. He didn’t want that kind of life.
He didn’t study, either. And he certainly didn’t practice martial arts.
He had spent nineteen years in the imperial capital and seen too many people fighting over power. In the end, none of them smiled as long as he did.
In the early stage, it is humorous and interesting, and the parents are short-lived. In the later stage, the righteousness of the family and the country is majestic and majestic. The author's emotional portrayal is very delicate and easy to empathize with. I first read the book, which only had more than 2,000 pages. I thought I would kill him, but I ended up reading this book word by word.
The writing is fluent and engaging, the ancient charm is well grasped, and the plot has a moderate rhythm. The more you read, the more you get hooked! Continuously following updates, looking forward to updates
It looks good. The 5th prince must become the emperor in the end.
It's very good-looking. I've been reading it. I'm curious why such a good-looking book has no ratings. The book is very realistic and not stupid. It's quite good to read. There is no martial arts or fantasy. The historical location can be matched. The book is rich in emotion and color. I like the protagonist very much.
Female channel or AI, too thin
The writing is pretty good so far, the logic is normal and the plot is reasonable. It's a good article.
There is no trace of AI. It is well written and I will give it a high score.
Just read the first few chapters, it's okay if you want to read it easily. But personally I still like a bit of supernatural.
It's good to read. Good luck to the author!
It looks like I am relieved, and I can't help but want to smile cutely.
