Chapter 2, The Young Prince

The official language of the Song Dynasty was the local dialect of Henan, based on the dialects of Kaifeng and Luoyang. Later, when the capital was moved to Lin'an in Zhejiang, it incorporated features of the Zhejiang dialect.

As a time traveler, he began to plan for the future with a mind full of ideas. After all, he was currently just a small infant, occupied only with eating and sleeping, unable to do anything else. If he didn't indulge in some fantasies, he would surely feel stifled.

Everyone admired and praised it, placing the jade pendant in the infant's swaddling.

The upper-class communication of the Jin Dynasty was conducted in Jurchen or the official language of the Song Dynasty. Jurchen was the official language of the Jin Dynasty and belongs to the same language family as Mongolian, allowing for easy communication between the Jurchens and Mongols

If that conjecture is true, as the main antagonist of this story, he will be killed by Huang Rong in the Iron Spear Temple eighteen years later, what a tragic fate that is

The infant was extremely unwilling, and a series of malicious schemes surged in his mind. Taking advantage of the fact that Huang Rong had not yet been born, he sent someone to Peach Blossom Island to poison her, intending to kill Huang Yaoshi's wife. Even if she were born, he planned to strangle her in her swaddling clothes. However, Huang Yaoshi was not someone to be trifled with.

With this thought in mind, he gradually calmed down; he still had plenty of time to change everything. The most crucial point was that he was currently a small infant, unable to do anything.

What a coincidence, this must be a coincidence

The infant could only force a smile, enduring the abuse and torment from those people, hoping that this day would pass quickly

Due to Bao Xiruo hearing the tragic news of her husband's death during her pregnancy, she has been living in constant fear and has been in a state of depression. After arriving in Zhongdu, she was only able to safely give birth to her child with the help of medication, leaving her body extremely weak. Following the birth, she had no milk, so the steward of the Wang residence arranged for two wet nurses to care for the young prince

However, the good mood of the little baby was disrupted a few days later

Bao Xiruo lived in Niujia Village near Lin'an Prefecture and spoke a genuine Hangzhou dialect. Wanyan Honglie learned this dialect to facilitate communication with Bao Xiruo

On this day, a grand banquet was held in the royal residence to celebrate the Sixth Prince's joyous acquisition of a son. Royal relatives and high-ranking officials from the Jin Kingdom came to offer their congratulations, and the royal residence was filled with esteemed guests, creating an exceptionally lively atmosphere

Upon waking, the infant was drenched in cold sweat

A-Kang

Or wait until she escapes from Peach Blossom Island to find someone to take a shot at her

However, this day did not pass, as the climax had yet to begin. These individuals were waiting for news from the palace at mhetushucom.com. Although Emperor Wanyan Jing did not come in person, he sent a jade pendant, a gift from a grandfather to his grandson, which bore the name of a small infant.

Imagining riding a fine steed through the capital city in the future, upon seeing a beautiful woman, I would tease her, or perhaps directly take her back to my residence for unrestrained enjoyment

Wanyan Kang

When all of this was connected together, a chilling conjecture surfaced in his mind

Zhongdu Yanjing, which later became known as Yanjing, was a place where the inhabitants communicated in several languages

With the southern invasion of the Jin dynasty, there was an increasing exposure to the history and culture of the Han people, leading to a gradual process of sinicization. Within the noble circles of the Jin dynasty, a trend emerged to imitate and learn Han culture, which is why they sometimes communicated in the official language of the Song dynasty.

The infant spent his initial days of crossing amidst the troubles of language. Fortunately, most of the servants and slaves in the Zhao royal residence were sourced locally from the central capital. Although their dialect of Yanjing was somewhat convoluted, it was comprehensible enough to grasp the general meaning

If he were to know that in this life he is still Han, and that the father before him is not his biological father, he would likely be even more conflicted

Since he is a young prince, is there a possibility for him to become emperor at https://m.hetushu.com.com

It took a few days for the infant to adapt to the language of the people here

The infant shook his head vigorously, trying to shake off the terrifying thought from his mind, but once this notion took root, it became entrenched and could not be forgotten.

The Han people living in Zhongdu speak a dialect rich in Beijing flavor. After the establishment of the People's Republic of China, Mandarin was developed based on this dialect.

"Third brother is mocking me!" Wanyan Honglie said with a bitter smile, "I only hope that this child can live a healthy and peaceful life"

The nobleman speaking is Wanyan Hongxi, the third among his brothers, who shares a close friendship with Wanyan Honglie. When they converse, there are no reservations. At this moment, it is a gathering of brothers, and they are speaking in the official dialect of the Song Dynasty

The little infant could not help but reveal a blissful smile, causing the wet nurse, who was feeding him, to feel a sudden jolt in her heart. She was astonished to see a shameless smile on the face of a newborn, a smile that only a lecher would possess

Unfortunately, the Jin dynasty was a short-lived regime, seemingly lasting only a little over one hundred years. It is uncertain how much time remains for him to squander and enjoy. If the country were to be destroyed in a few years, this young prince would certainly face execution.

Both of these wet nurses are around twenty years old and are quite attractive women, capable of evoking boundless imagination in small infants

This name exploded in the mind of the infant: Prince Wang of the Jin Dynasty, a Han woman with a southern accent, Wanyan Kang

By day he contemplates, and by night he dreams. The woman in his dreams is somewhat indistinct, yet he knows for certain that it is Huang Rong

The little baby, feeling gloomy, was taken out for display. Some people pinched the baby's cheeks, while others patted the baby's head. This made the little baby quite annoyed, wanting to curse out loud, but he knew this was not the time to show off.

"Wanyan Kang, a good name," one of the nobles laughed and said, "I heard that in order to defend this name, the sixth brother even had a quarrel with the people of the clan, truly impressive spirit. Afterward, he was severely reprimanded by Father Emperor."

If it were known that a newly born child would curse, they would never be regarded as a prodigy; instead, they would be secretly executed as a monstrosity, lest they become a scandal for the royal family

Overall, he is very satisfied with the current situation, at least for a period of time he does not have to worry about food and drink, and he can also enjoy the feeling of being a privileged second-generation official

Thus, he realized that he had traversed to the Jin Dynasty, where he found himself in a royal mansion, and he was the young prince of this mansion. He also heard his name from his mother’s incessant murmurs.

On this deep autumn night, the traveler Yang Kang let out a silent cry from the depths of his heart

The speaker may be indifferent, but the listener is attentive

Eighteen years old, a wonderful life has just begun

However, in his previous life, he was Han, and it seems somewhat inappropriate to assist the Jurchens in fighting against the Han people. Although it is said that the fifty-six ethnic groups are one family, in this era, it represents a conflict between nations

That night, he had a nightmare in which a beautiful woman approached him with a charming smile. However, as she drew near, she suddenly transformed into a fierce devil, extending her sharp claws towards him

The infant is somewhat conflicted; in this life, he is a Jin person, but before his time travel, he was a Han person, making it truly difficult for him to decide.

I will not yield

A very important part of this banquet is observing the children

This is a very ordinary name; he suspects it is a nickname. The servants do not dare to directly address their master's name, so he does not know that his father's name is Wanyan Honglie, nor does he connect these matters together

At this moment, he made a firm resolution that he could not allow history to develop in this manner. He planned to first go to Mongolia to eliminate Genghis Khan, and then march south to sweep away the Southern Song Dynasty, establishing a foundation for an everlasting empire
