In the garden of the king of Qiongnan Island, there is a lake that covers a large area. There are two big willow trees growing beside the lake. The breeze blows, raising the drooping willow branches and sweeping ripples on the water surface. It is leisure.

Wow——

The water swayed, and a head suddenly burst out of the lake.

Fei Ran was panting heavily on the water.

As soon as he became conscious, he almost lost it again.

Fei Ran was at the bottom of the water when he woke up just now, if he hadn't reacted quickly, the suffocating feeling of mouth and nose pouring water would have submerged him again.

Fei Ran looked around, the surrounding carved beams and painted buildings, water pavilions and pavilions, looked exquisite and rich, but inexplicably made people feel a little desolate, such a large garden, but there was no one around.

Fei Ran's legs swung as he swam towards the shore while accepting the memories.

The original owner was the sixth prince of the Great Yang Dynasty. His father was the emperor, his mother was the empress, the prince was his brother, his father-in-law was the Duke of Huguo who held great power, and his wife was the only daughter of the Duke of Huguo. Her status can be said to be extremely prominent.

After the death of his father-in-law, Huguogong, Fei Ran was asked by Huguogong as his half son to go to Qiongnan Island, where he was born, for three years because he had no children.

Logically speaking, as the original owner, even if he came to Qiongnan Island, he should be able to live well, but who would have thought that he would exhaust himself to death.

Since the original owner came to Qiongnan Island, he has been homesick and worried about the state of the court. In order not to let himself be hindered, he began to read books without sleep and food, in order to find a workaround in the book.

Not long ago, when the original owner learned that he was dizzy, he did not forget to punish the servants around him to get the books again, causing him to faint in the lake and no one rescued him.

Fei Ran: ...

However, it is not complete, Fei Ran knows that someone is on the way to rescue him at this time.

The courtyard on Qiongnan Island is very elegantly built. On the other side of the lake, there is a row of single-eave gray-tiled houses. Looking in from the open window, you can vaguely see the books displayed inside.

Those who study in it can see the lake surface through the window, but there is a courtyard between the study and the back garden, it will take some time for the people inside to arrive completely.

When Fei Ran climbed to the shore, the people who came to rescue him also arrived.

A boy about five years old, he was wearing a clean blue-green double-breasted robe, his body was a little thin, his yellowish face was blotched with red, and his forehead was dripping with sweat, apparently he had run all the way here.

"Father... Father King..."

The little cub looked at the person lying on the shore of the lake with an anxious expression on his face, and was about to reach out to pull him.

However, don't know what he thought of, but his face turned pale, and he quickly withdrew his hand.

The little brat who withdrew his hand suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Fei Ran, performed a salute, then stood up quickly, and then stretched out his hand to Fei Ran.

Before he could react, Fei Ran received a solid bow:...

He looked at the small palm stretched out by his own cub, and remained silent for a rare time.

The little boy's name is Fei Yi, and he is the only son of the original owner. Although he is the only one, he is not very well received by the original owner.

The original owner has a prominent status, and his life should be precious, but the fact is really uncontrollable.

The original owner's father was Emperor Huizhao of the Great Central Dynasty, who ascended the throne and became emperor when he was young. The late emperor left three assistant ministers for him. Fan Weiqi, one of the assistant ministers, secretly controlled the government when Emperor Huizhao was young. The long Huiwen Emperor was very dissatisfied.

The other side of the couch allows others to sleep soundly.

On the surface, Emperor Huizhao kept Fan Weiqi steady, but in private he kept trying to get rid of him.

If you want to get rid of people, you need military power, but the military power is in the hands of another assistant minister, Duke Huguo. When Emperor Huizhao was distressed, at a state banquet, the original owner was favored by the only daughter of Duke Huguo.

Duke Protector was injured in battles in his early years, and he only had one daughter. This girl was born with fetal disease. Although she looked chubby and rich, the root of the disease had already penetrated deep into her heart. Everyone in Kyoto knew that Therefore, even if the Huguogong holds great power and attaches great importance to relatives and daughters, no one will propose marriage. Even if those shameless people come to ask for marriage, they will be called out by the Huguogong as someone who climbs the dragon and the phoenix.

After the Huguogong heard his daughter say that the sixth prince was good-looking, the thick-headed Huguogong was very happy, and without thinking too much, he directly asked the emperor with a cheeky face.

Duke Huguo felt that his daughter was a little weaker, but everything else was perfect, and it was natural that she could match up with the prince.

In Emperor Huizhao's eyes, this was obviously a very good deal. He could gain military power by sacrificing a prince. After hesitating for a long time, he finally agreed.

The original owner was a prince, who was also the queen's second son. He couldn't marry any woman, but in the end he married such a chubby woman who was terminally ill. Not only was there an uproar in the capital, but the original owner also felt extremely humiliated.

He is like a man who is happy for a woman, which is considered a scandal even in an ordinary family, let alone a prince who is deeply loved by the dynasty.

But for the stability of the royal family, he had to endure it.

Under such circumstances, Fei Yi's arrival, except for the careless and careless Duke Hu and the delicate and frail Princess Xie who were overjoyed, the rest of the people's attitude towards Fei Yi was not good, until Princess Huo and Duke Hu were in succession. After his death, Fei Yi's treatment plummeted even more.

Not to mention, before his death, the Lord Protector asked the original owner to go to the place where he was born—— Qiongnan Island for three years.

Qiongnan Island, a barren and plagued place, is a dangerous place where successive dynasties have been relegated. Many civil servants and military generals have been exiled here in history, and they are in great pain.

Of course the emperor was not willing to let his youngest son, who was already sorry, go to such a barren land, but Fan Weiqi also followed in his way. Seeing that the military power that was about to be handed over seemed to turn against him, in the end, for the sake of the overall situation, the emperor gritted his teeth and agreed.

After hearing the news, the queen almost went blind from crying, but it didn't stop the original owner from leaving Capital City and coming to Qiongnan Island, which is regarded as a barren land by the people of Capital City.

As for Fei Yi, the grandson of Duke Protector, he was born with original sin, and it was hard for the original owner to like him.

However, although the original owner didn't like Fei Yi, he was not cruel enough to kill his own son, but the rules were extremely strict, almost to the point of measuring the ruler. At the same time, he did not forget to brainwash Fei Yi .

——Respecting the rules means paying attention to him.

Seeing the big gift that the little brat made just now.

I have to say that in a sense the teaching (brainwashing) of the original owner was very successful.

Fei Ran lay motionless on the shore.

The little boy couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

He was afraid of Fei Ran scolding him for not understanding the rules, but he really wanted to pull Fei Ran out of the lake.

He stammered: "Father...Father King..."

The hand in front of Fei Ran shrinks and stretches, stretches and shrinks again, as if some fierce inner struggle is going on.

Fei Ran doubted that if he didn't hold this hand again, the little boy would immediately fall to his knees.

Fei Ran hurriedly held this hand with a serious expression.

The moment Fei Ran grasped Feiyi, as if giving permission to Feiyi, Fei Yi immediately embraced Feiran's big palm with both hands, blushing and retreating, using all the strength in his body to pull him out.

The thin little boy on the shore of the lake was very serious.

Fei Ran thought about it, and went ashore with his arms propped up.

Fei Ran had just landed, and the water on his body hadn't had time to flow to the ground.

Plop——

The little boy knelt down for him again, "Father, my son knows his mistake. He got up without waiting for you to shout just now. It violated the etiquette. Please punish him."

In the garden, the vegetation swayed in the wind.

Looking at the top of the skull kneeling on the ground waiting for punishment, Fei Ran said, "...get up, it's okay."

Fei Yi got up, and stepped aside respectfully.

At the same time, he looked at Fei Ran with worry, as if he wanted to ask something but seemed hesitant to ask.

Fei Ran stretched out his hand to wring the water on his clothes, as if he knew what he wanted to ask, he said directly: "It's nothing, I just accidentally slipped into the lake just now."

Fei Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Fei Yi, who was studying in the study just now, raised his eyes and saw Fei Ran poured into the lake through the window, he thought that Fei Ran had had enough of this barbaric life, and he couldn't think about it for a while, and didn't want to live anymore.

He is scared.

After Fei Yi's mother and grandfather passed away, the only person he could rely on was the original owner. Although the original owner was usually quite strict with him, he only felt that the original owner was for his own good, that's why he was so strict with him.

Now knowing that Fei Ran's falling into the water was just accidental, Fei Yi's anger instantly relaxed.

Fei Ran: "Go and collect the paperwork on the desk in the pavilion, and bring it to my room. I'll change my clothes first."

Fei Yi immediately went to get the documents, Fei Ran walked through the garden and courtyard, and returned to the room.

He took out a suit of clothes for himself, a blue straight-fronted gown, with which he was in his twenties, tall and handsome, and the original owner really had a good look, no wonder the daughter of the protector would take a fancy to it.

While Fei Ran was thinking about it, a small waiter ran over from outside, he was still holding a lot of documents, including the things that Fei Ran asked Fei Yi to bring back just now.

"My lord, I didn't see you when I came back from picking up the book just now, so I took your things back on my own initiative." The little waiter stepped forward and said with a smile.

assert yourself...

Fei Ran chewed on these words.

If Fei Ran hadn't ordered Fei Yi to take the book, this self-assessment applied to this little waiter would indeed appear to be very considerate of him.

but……

"My king asked you to take it?"

Fei Ran raised his eyelids and looked at the servant in front of him.

This little waiter can be regarded as a big knife for Fei Yi to go on the road of no return.

According to the original trajectory of the world, after the death of the original owner, Fei Yi, who arrived too late, fell into great self-blame, and was completely taken advantage of by the servant who was already a man of the original bishop's rules.

This little attendant is also somewhat clever, he learned a little about the original owner's method of domesticating Fei Yi, when Fei Yi fell into self-blame and fear of guilt, he accompanied Fei Yi in the name of someone the original owner valued before his death, and then secretly The launch of the language offensive catalyzed Fei Yi.

Fei Yi felt that it was because he didn't arrive in time that the original owner's death was caused. After being recalled by the emperor, the brat who was full of three principles and five constants directly blocked the responsibility on himself. Hearing this, the emperor was immediately furious.

The most guilty and beloved youngest son was gone, and it was caused by the grandson who upset him. Fei Yi was completely ignored by Emperor Hui Zhao, and the people in Beijing also looked at the dishes, and they made trouble. Fei Yi's life was very difficult.

Until the crown prince came to the throne later, the prince felt sorry for his younger brother's only heir and wanted to take care of him, so he bestowed Fei Yi with a decent title and official position, so that people dare not look down on him.

After getting an official position, Fei Yi didn't notice the emperor's intention to grant him an official position at all. He felt that he should fulfill the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers and contribute generously to the country. I didn't get up either.

And the servant in front of him, as a respectable person from the original owner, got a lot of gold, silver and jewels, and returned home in fine clothes.

What kind of decent person is just a servant who was handpicked by the original owner.

My mind is full of the original owner of the Kyoto people, and don't even remember the name of this servant.

"What's your name?" Fei Ran asked.

As soon as Fei Yi came over, he heard Fei Ran's words, and he looked at the servant beside Fei Ran, feeling a little puzzled.

Father has always used this person, don't you even know his name?

The servant was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses, and replied with a smile in an instant: "Go back to the lord, my servant is called Xiaoxi."

"How long have you been with the king?"

"My lord, I've been following you since you came to South Island, it's been two years." Xiaoxi was a little confused, but she still responded accordingly.

He felt that today's King Xie was a bit strange. In the past, the prince could not say a few words to him in a day, but today he asked him so many questions at once.

"Fei Yi, tell me, who did I ask for the book?"

Suddenly, Fei Ran's conversation turned to Fei Yi.

Xiao Xi's complexion froze.

On the way back just now, when he met the unfavored Fei Yi, he thought that Fei Yi was trying to curry favor with the king, so he found an excuse to take the things from Fei Yi, and wanted to be in the king's hands. Put a caring face in front of the king

But he never expected that Fei Ran ordered Fei Yi to take these documents.

Xiao Xi thought of what she said earlier about making her own way... The cold sweat on her head broke out in an instant.

He was a little flustered and puzzled. In the past, wasn't the prince the most impatient for his son to touch his things?

He just expected that the prince would not dare to sue, so he dared to ask for something from him, but he didn't expect that it was the order from the king.

Xiaoxi hurriedly took a step forward and wanted to explain: "My lord, the servant is afraid that the prince will be tired..."

"Xiao Yi, tell me."

Fei Yi glanced at the attendant, then carefully looked at Fei Ran, and then said truthfully: "He said it's his job to take the paperwork, and it's beyond the norm for my son to do it..."

Fei Yi's voice became smaller and smaller, as if he was afraid that Fei Ran would blame him for his transgressive behavior.

"Beyond the rules?" Fei Ran looked at Fei Yi, with a majestic voice: "Whose rules are exceeded?"

The author has something to say:
