Chapter 1 Rebirth
On the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month in the eighth year of Taihe in the Song Dynasty, there was a tense atmosphere in the Changchun Hall of the imperial palace. The maids and eunuchs in the hall did not dare to breathe.
A man in his forties with an elegant face walked around the hall anxiously.
From time to time, shrill screams came from the inner hall, which made him even more worried. He could only use this method to relieve his tension.
This middle-aged man is an official of the Song Dynasty. As the most noble man in the world, he has many beauties in the harem. However, the princes he gave birth to in recent years all died in childhood.
The officials, who were nearly forty years old, were almost in despair. Under the constant urging of the officials, they even had the idea of adopting the clan.
Perhaps God was merciful, but just when he was about to make the decision to adopt the clan, Zhu Cairen in the harem became pregnant.
After hearing the news, the official family was overjoyed and immediately gave up the idea of adopting the clan.
If he had a son, how could he be willing to hand over this country to others.
Even if that person might be his uncle, brother or nephew.
After the civil and military officials learned the news, they did not continue the memorial.
If Zhu Cairen gives birth to a dragon son and there are successors in the official family, there will naturally be no need for an adoptive clan.
If the child is a princess, it will not be too late to give birth to a princess.
Before the results come out, it is definitely impossible for the official family to adopt the clan, and they will just have to wait ten months.
Since Zhu Cairen became pregnant, the official family would go to the Ancestral Temple every day to offer incense and pray for the blessing of their ancestors to give birth to a prince.
The always frugal official family even ordered Si Tianjian to hold a sacrifice to heaven.
The day of delivery finally arrived, and the official's heart was full of excitement and expectation, but he was also worried that giving birth to a princess would disappoint him.
Finally, the shouts in the inner hall stopped, and excited shouts came from inside.
“It’s a prince!”
The people responsible for delivering the baby are all stable women in the palace. Although they don’t know anything about national affairs, they also know that the official family has no heirs. Now a prince is born. The officials will be overjoyed, and they will receive generous rewards.
When the official heard the voice coming from inside, he was overjoyed at first and walked towards the inner hall. After taking two steps, he stopped and said, "I heard that a prince was born. Could it be me?" Did you hear wrong? "
God knows how much he wants a son, but when he actually heard that he had given birth to a prince, he was afraid that he was hallucinating.
"The official family, the old slave also heard that a dragon son was born. Congratulations to the official family, congratulations to the official family!" Li Neiguan said excitedly.
“Congratulations to Your Majesty on the birth of the Dragon Child!” the eunuchs and maids in the palace said in unison.
"Haha, you are really a prince, blessed by your ancestors and blessed by God!" The official burst into tears when he heard this.
At this moment, the door of the inner hall opened, and a palace maid hurriedly came out and saluted: "Your Majesty, Zhu Cairen has given birth to a prince!"
The officials laughed when they heard this. Said: "Okay, everyone in the palace today..."
As the official was talking, he suddenly stopped, stepped forward to grab the palace maid, and said with a ferocious expression: "No, why are there no cries? "Come on?"
When every concubine in the harem gives birth, the officials will watch outside, which can be said to be rich in experience.
As soon as a child is born, he will cry loudly, unless it is a dead baby.
The palace maid was in pain from being caught by the officials, but she did not dare to make any move. She endured the pain and said: "Your Majesty, the prince is fine, but he is not crying, and I don't know the reason."
The officials let go. The palace maid was about to walk in, but the palace maid even forgot to stop her.
The officials came to the door of the inner hall, and the eunuch guarding him said, "Your Majesty, the inside has not been cleaned up, so you can't go in."
"Get out of here!"
The official pushed the eunuch aside, opened the door and walked in.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
The palace maid Wenpo, who was busy cleaning up the mess inside, saluted quickly when she saw the official coming in.
“Where is my prince?” The official looked around.
A Wen woman quickly picked up a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes from Zhu Cairen's side and brought it to the official's house.
The official took the child carefully and looked at it excitedly.
A newborn baby's skin is wrinkled and very ugly, but in the eyes of the officials, this baby is more precious and beautiful than the most precious things in the world.
The infant child looked at the official family with his eyes open, looking very attentive.
Zhao Xing is a little confused. Is it true that good people are rewarded?
When he saw a child falling into the water, he jumped in to save him without thinking too much.
As a result, his foot got caught in a water plant, and the child kept struggling in panic. He drank a lot of water and slowly lost consciousness.
Before losing consciousness, Zhao Xing vaguely saw someone else coming into the water to help. When I regained consciousness again, I just felt that my consciousness was confused.
Although I have feelings, I feel like I am trapped in water and can’t feel anything.
Like a fish, the memory of one second will be forgotten the next second.
The feeling is very strange and cannot be described in words.
He didn't know how long it had been before Zhao Xing felt a squirm, and then as if the clouds had cleared and the sun appeared, his consciousness completely recovered.
After regaining consciousness, Zhao Xing had to accept the reality after a period of observation. He seemed to have become a newborn baby.
Zhao Xing also read those time-travel novels in his previous life. He didn't know how to position himself in this situation.
Time travel?
It doesn’t seem like it.
Reincarnation?
But he has memories of his past life.
It’s because I didn’t drink Meng Po soup and I have no memory of the underworld.
No matter what, I am still alive, and that is enough.
Newborn babies have very poor eyesight and see things very blurry.
Zhao Xing felt himself being picked up and put into another person's arms, but he could only see a blurry figure in front of him.
However, Zhao Xing could hear the conversation and felt happy when he learned that he was actually a prince.
Although I don’t know which dynasty I was reincarnated into, my father has been coming since I was born, which proves that he values his son very much.
Even if he cannot become the emperor, a prince cannot escape.
The official looked at his son with joy, no matter how much he liked it, he still uneasily opened the swaddling clothes and took a look.
When I saw Little Douding, I was completely relieved.
Zhao Xing: "..."
He wanted to stop it, but he had no strength at all.
"Why don't you cry?" the official said, looking at Po Wen aside.
"Your Majesty, there are also children who don't cry after they are born. They usually start crying after being patted on the butt." Po Wen said.
After hearing this, the official hesitated and patted lightly, but Zhao Xing didn't feel it even with such weak force.
However, Zhao Xing still cooperated and started crying at the top of his voice.
When the officials saw this, they quickly started to coax him.
Zhao Xing cried for a while, felt dizzy, and fell asleep in a daze.
I don’t know how long it took, but I felt hungry and unconsciously wanted to speak, but it turned into crying.
Feeling that there was something in my mouth, I sucked it in instinctively. After I was full, I fell asleep again.
For the next period of time, Zhao Xing basically spent every day in a coma. Occasionally he woke up and was in a daze. After eating something, he fell asleep again.
I don’t know how long this state lasted. Although he was still awake for a short time, Zhao Xing could feel that he was no longer as dazed as before and could think about something.
Occasionally when I wake up and eat, I can hear a few words.
Now Zhao Xing can confirm that he should have traveled to the Song Dynasty.
Because he heard his mother say something about being an official.
Only the emperor of the Song Dynasty would use the title Guanjia.
After hearing the news, Zhao Xing was a little helpless. If he was reborn in the Han Dynasty and Tang Dynasty, he would know a lot of history.
But because of the weakness of the Song Dynasty, he didn't like it at all and didn't understand it well.
Zhao Xing can only hope that it will be the early to mid-Northern Song Dynasty. If so, with his own identity, he can also be rich.
If it were the late Northern Song Dynasty, he might even be captured by the Jin soldiers.
Not to mention the Southern Song Dynasty, which was very frustrating.
