My name is Zong Chengyue, and I am the only prince of Dayong, with the title of Chu.The imperial sister is sixteen years older than me, and when I was born, she was already the daughter of the Emperor Yong, the next emperor of Dayong.In my impression, the royal sister is always very busy and busy.When I was a child, I used to not see her for days.But every time the imperial sister came to see me, she would play with me patiently, and she would take me out of the palace to see the scenery that was not in the palace.I like Sister Huang.I also like my father and mother.But when my father and mother were together, I often felt that I was a little redundant.I'm serious about saying that it's not a delusion.I also asked the royal sister because of this feeling, and the imperial sister told me that it was because the relationship between my father and mother was too good, and said that when I grow up in the future, I will also meet a girl I like, and I will love each other and accompany each other for a lifetime like my father and mother.It's hard to imagine that when I heard these words, I was just a three-year-old child.No way, who let the family of people, just my young youngest.Thanks to my good memory.Also in that year, the imperial sister ascended the throne and became the emperor of Dayong, and the father and mother completely let go of the burden of Dayong.Plan an outing.When the imperial sister married the royal husband and officially formed her own small family, the father and mother also began to put the plan on the agenda.I was still a little unhappy.The queen mother has a father and a royal sister, and now I will be a real loner.And I don't have a favorite little girl yet.When you think about it, it's miserable!
It wasn't until I knew that my father and mother were going out to play and were going to take me with them, that I was happy again.Although I prefer to stay in the palace and read books, learn to draw or something, I hate going out, but I still want to be with my father and mother instead of having my father and mother with me.But it was also this time that I understood why my father and mother were already not young, and why they were still obsessed with visiting the famous mountains and rivers of Dayong, and the customs and customs.To paraphrase a quote I just read from a book: "The mountains and rivers are magnificent, but the brush is difficult to describe." ”Following in the footsteps of my father and mother, I saw the widest river, the longest bridge, and the most mysterious tribe in the world at a very young age.When I went to the beach, I saw the blue sea, the most dazzling fish on the bottom of the sea, and the behemoths living in the sea.The queen mother said it was called a whale.He also told me about the meaning of a whale falling into all things.Four years old.I followed in the footsteps of my father and queen mother to the Tianshan Mountains in the northwest of Dayong.Climbing the Tianshan Mountain, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, you can feel the changes of the four seasons in just a few days.At the top of the Tien Shan Mountains there is a lake called Jingping.The lake is as smooth as a mirror, and even if the wind blows, it will not cause the slightest ripple.Local guides also say that there is a water monster growing in the lake, but it is rarely seen.At least none of us in our group have seen it.Descend from the Tien Shan Mountains and live in the endless prairie.My father also bought me a beautiful foal from the herdsmen.I can proudly say that by the time I was four years old, I had already learned to ride a horse.While learning to ride horses on the grasslands, I also met the young daughter of a local herdsman chief.She said that she was a little princess on the Tianshan grassland.I also wanted to tell him that I was the prince of Dayong, but my father and mother said that we were away and wanted to hide our identities, so I finally swallowed back what I wanted to say.After a few days of getting along, I found that the little princess of the grassland liked me quite a lot, and when I was about to leave with my father and queen mother, the little princess heard about it and ran to our tent on horseback, saying that she would leave with me.I was dumbfounded.After all, if you put yourself in your shoes, if I play with a little girl for a few days, I don't want my father and mother to run away with others, and my father and mother are afraid that they will be angry.So in the end, I persuaded people to go back.When the little princess left, she told me bitterly that when she grew up, she would go to the capital to find me.I said that when I arrived in the capital, I would invite her to the best restaurant in the capital and invite her to dinner.However, when the two of us grow up, it is not certain that we will be able to remember each other!
But when I actually left, I was a little sad.After all, I, Prince Dayongchu, really don't have many friends.So after much hesitation, I wrapped the little pony whip that the little princess had given me, which seemed to me so ugly and so beautiful in her eyes, around my waist.Look at it again, it's ugly and dead!
Five years old.During the trip, I fell ill with a cold.At that time, the father and mother were ready to go to Yanmen Pass.Yanmen Pass is located on the northwest border of Dayong, and north of Yanmen Pass, there is the most extensive desert in Dayong.But there are seas and oases in the desert, and naturally there are cities in the desert.It is said that it is a different kind of customs.It's just that because of my illness, the doctor said that I should take care of it for a while, and the plan was changed temporarily.We did not go north, but went straight down the official road to the south of the Yangtze River.He lived in Dingjiang City, the most prosperous city in the south of the Yangtze River, for a year.On the one hand, I drank the medicinal diet boiled by my mother to nourish my body, and on the other hand, I was stuffed by my father and the emperor into Dingjiang Academy in Dingjiang City to study for a year.Six years old.After the doctor and the queen mother took turns to diagnose my little body that I could no longer be healthy, my father sold the house in Dingjiang City and continued the previous journey.It took half a year, from Jiangnan to Yanmen Pass, and from Yanmen Pass to the north, I finally saw the desert yellow sand that I had no choice but to miss last year, and also saw a road extending in the desert yellow sand.On both sides of the road, there are drought-resistant poplar trees to protect from the wind and sand, and there are camel caravans on the road moving slowly, camel bells melodious.After five days on this road, at the end of the road was an inn that provided supplies in the desert.I actually saw a branch of Dayong Express in this inn.I couldn't help but look at the queen mother with admiration.I want to know, where else in this world is the place that Dayong Express can't reach.After resting in the inn for a day and having enough supplies, there is no way to go, so you can only rely on a guide who is familiar with the desert terrain to lead the way.So I learned to ride a horse at the age of four, and then I learned to ride a camel at the age of six.After walking through the desert for half a month, I saw the desert lonely smoke, full of children with emeralds in the undulating yellow sand, and large and small oases.Plants and trees that can find water for themselves, and plants that can grow strongly, blossom and bear fruit in the arid yellow sand.They are really not easy.Of course, the fruit is also delicious.Half a month later, we saw a magnificent city standing in the yellow sand.The name of the castle is very atmospheric.It's called Huangsha City.As soon as we arrived in Huangsha City, we encountered a rare yellow sand scroll in several years.The Queen Mother said it was called a sandstorm.We lived in a house made of stones, which looked unusually clean and unseamless, and looked through the window at the gray sky and the earth, and the wind howled from morning till night, and the house was swept every day, but after a while, a very fine layer of yellow sand blew in.There is no way to go out, so you can only have fun in the bitterness.Drinking the fishy camel milk from the innkeeper and eating the baked naan, for the first time, I longed for the green leaves that I had hated in the past.The sandstorm took three days to pass, and when I opened the door and went out, the residents of the city were already cleaning up the yellow sand piled up in their yards and the street in front of the door, as well as the debris blown out by the yellow sand.Three days after coming to Huangsha City, I went out to see the unique style of this desert city.Both men and women here are tall, with a slightly yellowish complexion and small pigtails on their heads.I heard that this is because with small braids, your hair can get dirty more slowly.Me: "But the people here are really welcoming.Treat guests from afar, warmly invite you to eat at home, and laugh at you without fear when you get acquainted.Rough, wild, passionate, direct.This is the person I felt in Huangsha City, and the queen mother also asked Aunt Xiaoqi to tie a small braid on my head and buy a set of special clothes worn by the local residents of Huangsha City.In addition to my face being a little white, I felt a little bit local when I stood in front of the mirror.After living in Huangsha City for half a month, when I was used to drinking camel milk every day, eating food made from camel milk, eating meat and drinking water, it was time for us to leave.Seven years old.I followed my father and queen mother to the northern land of Dayong.In Northland, I saw a lot of huge glazed sheds.Each shed is carefully cared for by the local people, and some even have some homeless people living in it.In my impression, the glazed sheds are used to grow vegetables, and the royal sister took me to the Yixue Agricultural College and the Agricultural Bureau, and also used this glazed shed to make some vegetables and fruits that violated the local market in violation of the season.This was the first time he had seen that this glass shed could still live in people.It wasn't until Luo Huwei and Aunt Xiaoqi told me what the two of them did when they were suffering from snowstorms in the northland when their mother had not married their father, and their father had not ascended the throne as emperor, but was just a prince.My father went to the north for disaster relief and supervised the construction of more than 100 glazed sheds.The queen mother was in the capital, regardless of the business of Dayong Liulifang, and sent a steady stream of materials to the people of the north.These glazed sheds, in the cold and freezing of the year, were the only hope for the affected people.Even though the snow disaster has passed for many years, and these glazed sheds are no longer useful, the people here have not thought of demolishing them.I also hope that this warmth will always remain in my heart.Eight years old.I followed in the footsteps of my father and mother to the place where my mother grew up.Zhuoting County, Hengdu City.I have seen the special product rouge rice of Zhuoting County, as well as the beautiful scenery of Hengdu created by the queen mother and maternal grandfather.Periwinkles bloom all over the city, the first Liulifang built by the queen mother, and the still thriving Zhixing School.My father and I accompanied the queen mother one by one, and we also saw the memories in the queen mother's eyes.Nine years old.Just after my birthday, my father and queen mother received a letter from my sister, and we set off the next day, returning to Kyoto after six years.To be honest, after these six years of wandering, well, it's not a wandering, after all, I have my father and mother by my side, and the itinerary is not hurried and stable, and I can live as comfortably as possible everywhere, I like this kind of day.The thought of going back to the palace that I thought was big when I was a child, but now it looks small, I can't be smaller, and I feel a little uncomfortable.But I do miss the royal sister very much.Returning to Shangjing City is a bit like a world away.I just look at it and it hasn't changed at all, but I also feel like it's changed a lot.This is still the case in the palace.I met the royal sister, who had been pregnant for several months, and inside was my little niece or nephew.I also followed my father to meet my grandfather, who I hadn't seen since I was born.I can feel that the relationship between my father and grandfather is a bit complicated.The relationship between father and son is not at all different from me and my father.I will tell my father anything I want, and he will teach me a lesson when I make mistakes.But between the father and the emperor, there is only silence.The emperor's grandfather looked at his father's eyes with some guilt, and his father looked at the emperor's grandfather indifferently.Obviously, many times I could see that the emperor's grandfather wanted to talk to my father, but in the end I couldn't say it.The relationship between the two of them is so strange!
When the imperial sister gave birth to a little niece, and the imperial grandfather passed away immediately, I watched my father dismiss all the palace people of Yongshou Palace, and then sealed the entire Yongshou Palace, and I somewhat understood.Father and Emperor probably have a hatred for the emperor's grandfather.After staying in the palace for a while, although I had a little niece who could go over and hug me every day, I still felt a little bored.I went to tell my father that I wanted to go out for a walk alone."
Where are you going?"
I thought for a moment and replied, "I want to go to sea with the caravan." ”"The caravans that go to sea are all for the purpose of going overseas to seek great wealth.It is this desire that cannot stop them, even if nearly a third of the ships go out to sea and never return.They are driven by profit, so what are you for?
”I paused, "I want to go to the other side of the sea.""
Just when the queen mother came in, the two of them discussed it and made a plan for me.For the first three years, I will go to school in the intermediate class of Yixue, and I will be able to pass the examination and enter the advanced class.In the next three years, I will go to the military academy and enter the academy that specializes in training naval forces.There, learn the skills necessary to survive on and off the water.It would be six years before I could set foot on a ship to the sea.I hadn't been to either place, so I went there with great interest.That's six years in a blink of an eye.The promise of my father and mother remained unchanged, and I also had an additional sea ship that my mother sent me to produce in the Tiangong Academy.After gathering a group of partners who were also curious about the other side of the sea, we finally went to sea.It is recorded in the biography of Dayong's celebrities."
