As she slowly understood the country she would be living in, she realized that her history was completely empty. Xia Nian, who had the memories of her previous life, did not know anything about the West Asian Empire.
However, since she was already here, she should take things as they came. Xia Nian still understood the logic behind it.
That year, Xia Nian turned three.
Sitting in his mother's arms, Xia Nian watched his father ask Xia Zhao about his homework. When he recited," Therefore, the heavens will give a great responsibility to a person. He must first suffer his mind, work his bones, starve his skin, empty his body, and mess up his actions."
As she ate the grapes fed by her mother, Xia Nian opened her eyes wide and saw that he couldn't recite it for a long time. Her brain heated up and she said," So, I have to be patient and help him."”
Looking at the surprised eyes of Emperor Xia and the Queen, Xia Nian knew that she was in trouble. She should not forget that she was only three years old. How could she memorize Mencius?
"How did Nian 'er memorize Mencius?”
As expected, Emperor Xia asked.
"Ah, Nian 'er…I heard my brother recite it before, so I remember.”
"I see. This king's Nian 'er is really smart.”Emperor Xia happily hugged Xia Nian in his arms, but no one knew the worry in Emperor Xia's heart. A few years ago, a star fell rapidly in the dark night sky in the south. The Imperial Advisor of the West Asia Dynasty once predicted," The Vermilion Bird descended, leaving no dust behind. It was the lone star of the heavens."”
Looking at the lively little daughter in his arms, Emperor Xia's heart was covered with a layer of frost.
Everyone believed that the prophecy of the Vermilion Bird's descent was referring to Xia Zhao, the heir of Xia Country. At first, Emperor Xia also thought so until Xia Nian was born. That night, Queen Lan Nuo's last cry of pain stopped. When the baby's first cry sounded, Emperor Xia seemed to see something strange in the southern sky. He could not describe it, but it was definitely not ordinary.
"Your Majesty, Consort Xi has brought Second Young Master to pay her respects.”Eunuch Pei's sharp voice was extremely uncomfortable to hear, but it was already used to it.
"Let them in."
In Emperor Xia's harem, only Queen Lan Nuo and Consort Xi had given birth to two boys. As Xia Zhao was the eldest son of a legitimate son, he was made the crown prince. Consort Xi was the only one who had been eyeing the position of the Crown Prince of Xia Country for her son. If Xia Zhao passed away, the position of the Crown Prince would naturally fall to the somewhat dull Xia Chun. However, she seemed to have forgotten that the third emperor of Xia Country was a queen. Even if Xia Zhao could not sit on the throne of Emperor Xia, there was still Xia Nian behind him. No matter what, Xia Chun would not be able to sit.
"Greetings to the king, the king is lucky! Greetings to the Queen, good luck to the Queen!" The beautiful woman knelt on the ground and greeted him in a formal manner. Only her delicate voice sounded like she had drunk honey first. "Greetings, Your Highness. The young princess has grown much taller.”
"Consort Xi is auspicious." Xia Zhao bowed. It was not easy to put on the airs of a prince at such a young age.
Whether it was Xia Zhao or Xia Nian, they did not need to kneel when they saw Consort Xi. Xia Nian jumped down from the queen's arms and bowed. Her voice was flat." Consort Xi, Your Highness is auspicious."”
"Alright, take a seat."
In the West Asian Dynasty, other than the royal family and the queen, the children of the other royal concubines could not be called His Highness, unless they were the sons of concubines.
Emperor Xia called his second son Xia Chun to ask him about his homework. This time, the question was simpler."If a person is not benevolent, what should we do?" What's behind it?"
Seeing that her son could not answer, Consort Xi's expression turned stern as she urged," Chun 'er, quickly tell your father.”
A crisp voice suddenly appeared in the low and deep environment. Xia Nian sneered in her heart. Since she didn't like Consort Xi, there was no need to give her face. "If a person is not benevolent, what can he do?"
There was a profound truth in these words. Xia Nian guessed that her father was taking this opportunity to tell the beautiful Consort Xi some principles of life.
In the next moment, Xia Nian resumed her sweet voice as a little girl and coquettishly asked the queen for grapes. "Mother! Mother! Grape!"
