177 The Appearance of Strange Phenomena

Hong Shan was laughing so hard that she could not close her mouth. Looking at the silly Jiang Shan, she could not help but run out. Outside the door, Jiang Xi and Lu Liu were laughing wildly. Jiang Xi slapped her thigh and said, “Do you guys think my silly brother will be able to find a wife in this life?” If he was so silly, would he anger his wife and make her run away?

Hong Shan smiled without saying a word. A person like Jiang Shan was devoted to the people he cared about. The girl who could marry him must be very happy.

“Hey, hey, hey, be careful, prince, slow down, slow down!” Outside the door, a few servants were chasing after a child in a hurry. The child looked like a ball of dough, white and clean, but he was too thin and weak. His face was also unnaturally pale. When the people on the streets saw the child, they seemed to be used to it.

When Hong Shan saw that Jiang Xi had noticed the child, she explained, “Young Miss, this child is Prince Ding’s residence’s young prince. His father is Prince Ding and he has had only one son for several generations. When the young prince was born, it was difficult to deliver and several midwives worked together but they could not deliver the child. After that, the young prince’s entire body was blue and purple. Once the imperial physician saw it, he said that he was trapped in the mother’s body for too long and injured his brain, so his intelligence is not very high. As for Princess Ding, she died after giving birth to the young prince. Later on, Prince Ding married a new wife. The young prince’s stepmother did not care about him at all. She even beat and scolded him. Prince Ding did not care even if he knew about it, as if he did not have this son. Later on, no one knew if it was karma but Prince Ding fell down when he was riding a horse and hurt his crotch. In the future, he would not be able to have any more children, so Prince Ding’s residence only has this one and only young prince. The young prince is also pitiful. Normally, he would look like an ordinary child, but when he fell ill, his whole body would convulse and he would run around and often get injured.”

Hong Shan’s tone was filled with pity. If it was not for Prince Ding’s injury and that he could no longer have any children, the young prince’s days would be even worse.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“However, this young prince’s fate was also full of ups and downs. I heard that when he was seven years old, he fell from the attic and was unconscious for three days and three nights. His stepmother was also ruthless and simply invited a doctor. After hearing that the doctor said that he would not wake up, she prepared a coffin to bury him. In the end, the young prince was fine on the day of the burial. After that, his stepmother’s luck became worse and worse, while Prince Ding fell off his horse and could no longer have children.” Hong Shan was very emotional.

Jiang Xi looked at the young prince from a distance. He was about 12 or 13 years old and was running around on the street. There were still vegetable leaves on his head, and there was crystal-clear saliva at the corner of his mouth. He was giggling foolishly. Whenever he knocked down a stall, a servant would come forward to compensate the stall owner with money, so everyone was probably used to this.

“How interesting.” Jiang Xi suddenly laughed. This country was a little strange. She wondered what evil it had done to attract so many troublesome people.

The young prince, who was smiling foolishly, suddenly raised his head and glanced at where Jiang Xi was. Then, he grinned and ran away.

“This child is so pitiful.” After Lu Liu heard about the young prince’s background, she was also very sympathetic.

“He’s not pitiful. He’s the luckiest one.” Jiang Xi shook her head. The vitality above the young prince’s head was almost materializing. He was probably going to have great fortune in the future.

Jiang Xi and the others were not idle either. Jiang Xi was getting married soon, so she had a lot of things to do. Zhao Panpan had not become the crown prince’s princess consort and had only entered the palace as the Pure Consort. The title of entering the palace sounded nice. However, she was just part of the harem. There was naturally no need to make a big deal out of it. There was also no need to hide Jiang Xi’s marriage from her.

As Jiang Xi and Zhao Ruifeng’s wedding approached, more and more strange things happened in Jing City. There were inexplicable howls coming from outside Jing City in the middle of the night. Dead pheasants, hares, and all kinds of birds and beasts were seen at the gate of Jing City every morning. The fish in the ponds and various manors in Jing City were also very active, jumping in the water without feeling tired. It was said that in the forest outside Jing City, wild boars were frequently crying out, and wild bears also came out for a walk. There were even rumors that many big and beautiful feathers had appeared. No matter how one looked at it, it was a bit similar to the legendary phoenix plume.

“Your Majesty, strange phenomena have been appearing frequently recently. I’m afraid there’s a big problem.” One day, when he went to court, Zhao Ruifeng was in a daze when he heard someone report to the emperor. “The last time there was a strange phenomenon was the birth of the crown prince. That was an auspicious sign. This time, it seems to be an auspicious phenomenon as well. I just don’t know what happened.”
