Chapter 1: Visitors from Another World

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Lin Yi casually remarked, "Anyway, the old man doesn't like me, and I am not favored either. What use is there in going? Let us, instead, go back to our fief honestly."

His fief, Sanhe, is located at the southernmost tip of the Liang Kingdom, bordered by the sea to the east and adjacent to the lands of the barbarian tribes to the south. The environment is harsh and survival is difficult, making it a place of exile throughout the ages.

Historically, the mortality rate among princes has remained consistently high

Lin Yi said lightly, "Ah, when we have time and conditions in the future, let us go to the mountains to escape the heat"

Hong Yingjian saw Lin Yi squinting his eyes and hurriedly said to the maid beside him, "What are you standing there for? Quickly fan the prince."

After a bumpy start, he managed to enroll in an ordinary university. Perhaps it was due to a lack of mental acuity, or perhaps it was character flaws shaped by his environment; in any case, for various reasons, he was not destined to become wealthy

Fingers struck the keyboard, never pausing, and when writing reached an excited state, one could hardly resist the urge to jump up from the seat

What difference does it make to become an emperor

How can one get through these days! It is truly unbearable due to the heat

In the deep palace, there are many resentful women, many schemes, and many grievances; if one does not remain vigilant, it is difficult to survive to adulthood

Furthermore, this is a historical dynasty of which he is completely unaware; how can he claim the throne without being a prophet?

Lin Yi sighed repeatedly at his close servant Hong Ying, expressing that even after having lived in this world for eighteen years, he still was not accustomed to the days without air conditioning and fans

Since he was crowned the King of Sanhe five days ago, how many people in the capital must be secretly mocking him!

According to the regulations, the nobles of the Liang Kingdom generally reside in the northern city of Ankang, while Lin Yi's residence has been arranged in the remote southern city

Upon arriving in the south, becoming a local ruler, marrying several wives, and living a life of indulgence and revelry would be nothing short of perfect

However, the emperor did not seem to urge them on

Hong Yingpei smiled and said, "Your Highness, why don't I go prepare a bit? Tomorrow we can make it to the summer resort in De'en to stay for a few days. I have heard that Prince Jin, Prince Nanling, as well as Prince Xin and the Princess Chang are all there."

Ice made from saltpeter can barely be used indoors at night; when placed outside, it serves little purpose, providing at most a slight sense of comfort.

The so-called miasma should be a complex of various diseases, including endemic diseases such as malignant malaria and schistosomiasis. These are unrelated to each other and are likely referred to collectively as miasma due to misinformation.

Fortunately, he still has the identity of a writer, even though he has written four or five books, each of which has not performed well. Nevertheless, he always harbors the illusion that one day he will achieve greatness.

Written so well

If nothing unexpected happens, I will live a life like most ordinary people, buying a house, marrying a wife, and leading a simple and unremarkable existence

Originally the residence of the former Deputy Minister of Personnel, Zhou Tao, it was implicated in a conspiracy case, leading to the old emperor executing him by beheading, and confiscation of his property was an inevitable outcome

"Super Dad", just the title of this book is enough to excite one's imagination

I won't drink it; my stomach is already full of tea, and there's no room for more.

Feeling the gentle cool breeze brought by the fan, he found it quite enjoyable

From the moment of his birth, he was aware of his circumstances

Lin Yi shook his head and said, "This king is about to take up the fief, and it will take half a month to travel back and forth. There is no need to make a fuss."

One must eat to live, yet finding a job proves to be elusive

In the previous life, I grew up in an orphanage, without a father or mother

Then continue to squint and lie back.

Before him lay the risk of being labeled as "deviant" and damaging his princely "noble" image, as he wore self-made shorts, bared his arms, and continued to sweat profusely.

By the time he reached adulthood, he had not disappointed the elder brothers and the concubines in the harem, valuing wealth above all, indulging in pleasures, lacking in learning, and harboring no great ambitions

It seamlessly integrates the styles of the crooked-mouthed war god and the son-in-law, making it an ingenious concept that is bound to become popular

Lin Yibai glanced at Hong Yingdao and said, "Forget it, it's of little use"

Lin Yi waved his hand impatiently, as he was not accustomed to such excessive concern from subordinates

Yet I did not expect to awaken in this unfamiliar world

Most of the residents in the vicinity are common people

Hong Yingpei smiled and said, "Your Highness, would you like me to get you some more ice cubes?"

He was innocent, but being in the royal court was the greatest mistake.

The ninth prince of the Liang Kingdom was a winner from the moment of his birth

At the height of her favor, Consort Yuan, the biological mother, happened to give birth to a prince. Within the palace, countless pairs of bloodshot eyes were fixed on her and her child, wishing nothing more than to eliminate them at once

How could one possibly believe in such a thing as miasma

Hong Ying whispered, "The Empress Dowager sent someone this morning to convey that His Majesty's health is beginning to improve, and Your Highness should show your filial piety."

In the hexagonal pavilion, Lin Yi gazed at the scorching sun in the sky, shifted his bottom slightly on the rattan chair, and raised the teacup to drink deeply, finishing it to the last drop

Therefore, he never competed for favor in front of the old emperor, lest he provoke jealousy from others

Moreover, after enduring until now, I have finally obtained my own fief.

Lin Yi scoffed, "Are you really going to stay in the capital?"

However, the old emperor had grown extremely weary of him, only allowing him to open the cabinet and leave the palace at the age of sixteen

A eunuch who had been standing opposite him hurriedly picked up the teapot from the table and filled his cup with water

Naturally, he would not continue to stay in the capital, Ankang, but would go to his own fief. With the heavens high and the emperor far away, he could do as he pleased; who could possibly control him

Summer is truly difficult to endure

Once one becomes a vassal, unless there are special circumstances, it is impossible to return to the capital for the rest of one's life

It is unacceptable to earn less than one million in a year

Still no air conditioning, no Wi-Fi, no League of Legends

He does not take it to heart; after all, he is a well-educated individual with four essential qualities

He would never engage in such foolishness as vying for favor and power.

That night, after uploading ten thousand words, I happily drank three bottles of beer, lay in bed, hugged my pillow, and dreamed of becoming a deity

After sitting in a wheelchair and overcoming a period of despondency, he eagerly began to write a new book

Here, no one can bully him at will anymore, he no longer has to worry about work, he does not need to toil for a living, and he has escaped the torment of buying a house and marrying a wife

The most important thing is to be able to run again in the sunlight, there is nothing better than this

Unfortunately, unforeseen circumstances can arise; one can be standing perfectly well by the curb, yet still be struck by a car, leading to a wheelchair replacing one's legs.

Prince Xin, the Fifth Prince, and Prince Dai, the Sixth Prince, were conferred titles three years ago, with their fiefs undoubtedly many times better than that of Sanhe, yet they have persistently refused to take up their posts.

On the day of the grabbing ceremony, he unhesitatingly snatched the gold coins and held them tightly in his arms

Lin Yi shook his head and said, "They are they, and I am I, different."

Lin Yi, however, is indifferent. The Liang Dynasty has lasted for over 200 years, with countless princes and royal descendants. Their residences are not particularly affluent, and being able to obtain a set of their own palace residence outside the palace is already quite commendable

Hong Ying took the mung bean soup from the maid beside her and handed it over, saying, "Your Highness, I am concerned for you. Please drink some mung bean soup to relieve the heat"

Hong Ying hesitated and said, "But Prince Xin and Prince Dai now..."

The prince..." Hong Ying said anxiously, "The water and soil in Sanhe are warm and humid, coupled with miasma, resulting in a mortality rate of at least four or five out of ten. We cannot go there!"

Since there is no courage for self-termination, it is better to live on, even if life is difficult.
