TDC Chapter 74 – Youth at that time

Jia Renyi first saw Luo Bijin on a warm March spring.

That year, Jia Renyi was five years old and Luo Bijin was six.

Jia Renyi was just a little kid who didn’t understand anything at that time. He just heard from his father that there will be a noble person visiting today.

For the five-year-old Jia Renyi, the prince was no different from Xiao Huang (little yellow) next door. It’s just that the little son who followed on the prince’s side really aroused Jia Renyi’s interest.

Oh, by the way, Xiao Huang was the Chinese field dog raised next door, commonly known as a local dog.

Jia Renyi was actually a local person who has never seen the world. He usually interacts with Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Er Mazi (Zhang the third, Li the fourth, pockmarked Wang the second; unimportant people) and his like. So suddenly seeing such a finely-crafted little doll, Jia Renyi stared at the other person without blinking.

In fact, Luo Bijin’s appearance was not that good-looking, but he has a different temperament from ordinary people. It was this temperament of him that attracted Jia Renyi at that time.

It was not until many years later that Jia Renyi thought of suitable words to describe it.

‘To live like a prince.’

The kind of pampering and grace carved into the bones of the royal family made Jia Renyi feel that even if there is a knife on Luo Bijin’s neck now, he can continue to be noble and elegant.

Jia Renyi was impatient with the long conversation between his father and the prince, so he ran out to play by himself. He didn’t know when Luo Bijin came out, but when he found out, Luo Bijin was surrounded by three young boys in a fight.

Jia Renyi was angry at that time. The little prince was his guest, so if he was bullied like this, it means they simply didn’t put him, Jia Renyi, this little overlord, in their eyes.

So he rolled up his sleeves and rushed up, hitting the three little boys to the ground.

After Jia Renyi’s interrogation, their reason for beating Luo Bijin was very simple, because he was dressed too well.

Jia Renyi: “……”

Children actually don’t have any complicated thoughts. Most of what they know is from adults. In this remote area, every household is poor, and what adults usually talk about most is nothing more than complaints about the imperial court and how harsh they are to the common people.

As a result, in the hearts of the children, a perception is formed that rich people are all bad.

This expensively dressed Luo Bijin swayed around in front of them. Isn’t that looking for a fight?!

Looking at the three escaping figures, Jia Renyi asked, “Do you want me to teach them another lesson?”

“No need.” Luo Bijin got up from the ground. Even though there was a bruise on the corner of his mouth, he was still so noble. “They’re just bitter.”

……

At that time, Jia Renyi felt that this Luo Bijin was different from everyone else he knew, –very different.

Later, Jia Renyi’s family moved to the capital and lived in the prince’s residence.

Luo Bijin was usually very busy reading, writing and painting. Jia Renyi was also very busy –busy fighting and making trouble.

Every time he gets back with a bruised nose and swollen face after fighting with someone, he would routinely harass Luo Bijin. Although Luo Bijin was always indifferent to Jia Renyi, he will still send someone to deliver the best wound medicine to help Jia Renyi, and then educate him in passing.

This kind of life lasted for three years.

When Jia Renyi was eight years old, his father finally felt that he should find someone to clean him up, and so He Wuyan became the unlucky man.

On the day Jia Renyi left the palace, he was crying so much that he dragged Luo Bijin’s sleeve and refused to let go. Jia Renyi’s father turned blue at that time. On a moment like this, you are not holding me and crying, but crying on the little prince’s arms. This is really…… too powerful!

After Jia Renyi was taken away by He Wuyan, the palace was finally quiet. However, it also feels emptier than before.

At least, Luo Bijin thinks so.

When He Wuyan received Jia Renyi, he didn’t realize that he was a broken sleeve. In fact, Jia Renyi didn’t know it himself.

It’s just that on the mountain, the only person he faces every day, except for his senior brother Liu Yuling, was He Wuyan. Compared with Liu Yuling, He Wuyan was much better, and Jia Renyi’s longing for Luo Bijin needs to find an outlet. As a result, he was entangled with He Wuyan.

However, Master, like Luo Bijin, treats him indifferently. The most depressing thing is that he can’t beat He Wuyan. In the past, at least he could bully Luo Bijin by relying on force.

Jia Renyi feels that life is very melancholic.

Such melancholy lasted until his fifteenth birthday, until he was finally released after serving his sentence– no, he came down after learning.

However, many things have long changed.

The change of the dynasty may be a huge event for the people all over the world, but for Jia Renyi, it was far less important than his father’s death.

The prince didn’t say much about his passing, but Jia Renyi was actually quite a smart person. He knew why the prince invited his father to the palace. It’s just that it’s still hard to see his father’s grave with his own eyes.

It has only been three years since the new emperor ascended to the throne. The foundation of the government was not yet stable, and all forces were still restraining each other. The prince hoped that Jia Renyi could replace his father and continue to stay in the palace to work for him, but Jia Renyi did not want to be involved in the affairs of the court anymore, so he refused the invitation.

He stood in front of his father’s grave for a day. That day, with a heavy snowfall, Jia Renyi saw Luo Bijin again.

Luo Bijin did not say anything, but stayed with him in front of the grave all night.

The next day, Luo Bijin was unconscious with high fever, and Jia Renyi’s whereabouts were unknown.

A year later, the prince who had a relapse of his old illness died. Before the first seven days after his death had passed, Jia Renyi stood in front of Luo Bijin.

Luo Bijin at this time was no longer the little prince, but Prince Luo.

Jia Renyi said that he was willing to stay in the palace and help him.

After Jia Renyi lived in the prince residence again, he discovered that there was an extra person next to Luo Bijin.

Or more exactly, it was a woman.

Tang Xiao is the jewel in the palm of Lord Tang. She has been in close contact with Luo Bijin recently.

Jia Renyi was very upset. And even more upsetting, this Tang Xiao still likes to pester him. Jia Renyi may never understand that at first, Tang Xiao came to Prince Luo’s Mansion because she was forced by her father. But later she came to the palace just to see Jia Renyi.

Jia Renyi didn’t know what Luo Bijin thought about Tang Xiao, because since childhood, Luo Bijin was not a person who showed his thoughts on his face. Royal people seem to have this characteristic.

Jia Renyi thought that he would be sent to do some dangerous things like his father, but he didn’t.

Luo Bijin didn’t let him do anything.

He eats, drinks and wait for death in the palace every day.

But since Luo Bijin didn’t say anything, he also wouldn’t be eager to go. So his biggest worry every day was how to send Tang Xiao away.

He asked Luo Bijin to go hiking together, Tang Xiao said she would also go; he asked Luo Bijin to swim in the river, Tang Xiao said she would also go; he asked Luo Bijin to have a meal, Tang Xiao said she would also go; he asked Luo Bijin to take a bath, Tang Xiao said…… Uh, then she won’t go ba.

Although Tang Xiao is a bit annoying, she has one advantage –she is a good cook.

From time to time, she would stuff Jia Renyi some exquisite snacks, saying that they were all made by herself. Jia Renyi couldn’t bear to finish it all every time, and always left some for Luo Bijin.

Finally, once, Luo Bijin couldn’t help asking, “Where did these pastries come from?”

Jia Renyi said, “Tang Xiao did it all ah. Say, how free is she all day?”

Luo Bijin’s hands paused, and he put the pastry near his mouth back on the plate.

Jia Renyi gave him a strange look. “Why? You don’t think it tastes good?”

Luo Bijin didn’t speak, but gave Jia Renyi an inscrutable look.

The days went on like flowing water.

One day, Tang Xiao suddenly ran over to Jia Renyi with red eyes, and asked him to take her to hide in the mountains.

Jia Renyi thinks, Tang Xiao, this woman, has a brain disease. But after Tang Xiao told him a lot about the benefits of living in seclusion, Jia Renyi was convinced.

So he made an appointment with Tang Xiao about the time and place, and happily ran to find Luo Bijin.

He painstakingly persuaded Luo Bijin not to participate in the affairs of the court anymore, and repeated to him the benefits of living in seclusion that Tang Xiao had told.

Luo Bijin looked at him for a long time before saying, “Okay.”

Jia Renyi still remembers how sad Tang Xiao cried when he saw him appearing with Luo Bijin.

Jia Renyi had never seen a woman cry so miserably. He was stunned.

He was thinking what unforgivable thing had he done?

Luo Bijin just adjusted his collar and walked in the direction where Tang Xiao disappeared into.

Jia Renyi didn’t know what Luo Bijin and Tang Xiao had talk about in the woods that day, but a few days later, the two of them suddenly announced their marriage.

Jia Renyi was struck by lightning.

He doesn’t believe in love anymore!

He ran out and drank a lot, then used the strength of the wine to forcefully kiss Prince Luo.

That’s right!

He! Forcefully! Kissed! Prince! Luo!

However, this didn’t change a thing.

Luo Bijin and Tang Xiao held their wedding as scheduled, and the heartbroken Jia Renyi left Prince Luo’s Mansion with his luggage.

Before leaving, he took one last look at Luo Bijin. Luo Bijin was trying on his wedding clothes at that time. Through the window, he saw Jia Renyi standing outside.

Neither of them spoke, but Jia Renyi could hear what Luo Bijin had said to him the day he forced a kiss on him.

He said that the only thing in his heart that he couldn’t let go of is this land.

Jia Renyi turned around and swept out of the palace. Luo Bijin looked at his distant back and lowered his eyes.

Jia Renyi suddenly came to a realization at this time. Luo Bijin has never changed over the years. He has always been the same Luo Bijin.

Didn’t he know it from the very beginning? Luo Bijin is different from everyone else.

It was also at this time that Jia Renyi remembered the words ‘to live like a prince.’

It was something that only the royal family can possess. Just like the ambition to reign over the world.

After Jia Renyi left Prince Lou’s Mansion, he made troubles on the Jianghu every day.

When Luo Bijin got married, he went to bully this sect; when Luo Bijin became a happy father, he went to bully that sect; when Luo Bijin had another daughter, he…… went directly to take away their daughter!

Fortunately, after Jia Renyi snatched Luo Bijin’s youngest daughter, he disappeared from the Jianghu.

All colleagues from the Jianghu sincerely thanked Prince Luo.

This catastrophe was finally gone!

The Jianghu has been peaceful for more than ten years when one day, at the Wulin conference, Jia Renyi unexpectedly returned to the arena! And he also became the leader of the Wulin alliance!

All colleagues from the Jianghu looked at Prince Luo with blood on their faces. Please, have another daughter ba.
