Traveling through ancient times: starting with live streaming

Chapter 483 Memories in Memories

If there were game consoles in ancient times, Zhou Chang would definitely buy one, because he really had no idea what a thirteen-year-old boy would like to play.

For this purpose, Zhou Chang went out early this morning and took Skinny Monkey to Longfufang, which is the twelve streets surrounding Dafu Temple.

Of course, now they are all Yuan Qi’s dowry.

Zhou Chang took Shouhou to choose a birthday gift for Feng Shuo, and also purchased supplies for "plane live streaming".

Finally, they gathered all the children's toys that they could find, such as tangram puzzles, Luban locks, nine-link rings, kites, bamboo dragonflies, porcelain dolls, etc., and put them into a small box for Feng Suo, and then put together a large box to move back to Prince Yi's Mansion.

Today is November 14th, the birthday of the twelfth prince Feng Suo, so he can have a day off and does not have to go to school.

Feng Suo had been looking forward to his ninth brother coming to the palace to play with him since morning. When he saw the box of toys Zhou Chang brought, he danced with joy.

It was not convenient for Zhou Chang to stay in Concubine Qin Sun's Yunqin Palace for long, so he took Feng Suo to the Imperial Garden.

The two of them spread out an entire table in the pavilion of the Imperial Garden, filled it with all kinds of food and toys, and began to have fun as if no one was around.

The so-called playing was just Zhou Chang playing with the children.

However, the autumn weather is clear and the scenery in the Imperial Garden is just right, making it a relaxing and pleasant place.

After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Feng Shuo played with each of the toys.

The two of them ate the snacks made by Concubine Qin Sun, and Zhou Chang leaned back in his chair with satisfaction.

Feng Shuo took out a golden bat from his arms and waved it in the air: "Brother Jiu, look at this golden bat. Does it look good?"

Zhou Chang tilted his head and glanced over: "Okay, who gave you the birthday gift?"

Bat is homophonic with “blessings everywhere”, which has a good meaning.

"It's Yuanjie." Feng Suo took back the bat and "flew" it over his head again.

"Oh?" Zhou Chang reached out and took it, looking at it carefully.

The golden bat is the size of an adult's palm. It shines with golden light and feels heavy in the hand. It is obviously made of pure gold. The front is a bat flying in the sky with its wings spread out. Its eyes are inlaid with rubies, and its tail is decorated with auspicious clouds and tied with a red rope.

It wouldn't be surprising if it was given by Yuan Jie. It looked very valuable, especially the rubies used for the eyes. The deep dark red emitted a faint light, which was not seen on the jewelry worn by ordinary ladies.

After reading it, Zhou Chang returned it to Feng Suo and said, "It's really exquisite, a hundred times better than my box of toys. You must keep it well."

"Yes." Feng Shuo agreed heavily, and did not forget King Yi, "Ninth brother's gift is also very good, all good. Ninth brother, look, there are two bats, one for me and one for Yuanjie, and when they are put together, they are a whole."

Feng Shuo used one hand as another bat, and made a back-to-back movement with the golden bat in his hand, gesturing in the air, and showed Zhou Chang the situation where the bats' heads were facing each other: "You can also put them together like this, both are double blessings."

"What a clever design." Zhou Chang couldn't help but feel envious and asked casually, "I heard that you went to Yuan Jie's house yesterday?"

"Yes, because it's my birthday, my mother agreed." Feng Suo couldn't let go of the golden bat. "But at Yuan Jie's house, they even celebrated my birthday in advance."

"Oh, really? What did you play?" Zhou Chang asked himself, "It probably doesn't matter what you play. I guess it's good as long as you can leave the palace."

"Of course..." Feng Suo chuckled, but the laugh didn't last long. "But it's not much different from going to other mansions. They don't let me walk around the streets. I can only be confined in the mansion, with a bunch of people following me."

Zhou Chang had no other options for this: "Wait a few years, and you'll have your own mansion and office."

"That's what mother said, maybe three years..." Feng Suo put the golden bat back into his arms, showed Zhou Chang three fingers and then his whole palm, "Maybe four or five years, anyway it will be soon."

"Why three years? After your birthday today, you will be thirteen, and generally fifteen is about the same." Zhou Chang said this based on the ancestral system of the Lin Guofeng family.

Feng Shuo turned his head and said to Zhou Chang: "I am referring to you, Ninth Brother. You should have been seventeen years old when you left the palace. Mother said that I don't need to rush. One or two years won't make a difference. I can spend more time with her."

When this was mentioned, before Zhou Chang could say anything, Prince Yi's mood visibly sank.

A forgotten memory also emerged in Zhou Chang's mind.

At that time, Prince Yi Fengming should have already passed his fifteenth birthday, and after waiting for another two years, he was about to turn seventeen...

"Father, I am already seventeen years old this year. Why don't I have a title or a royal palace yet?" Feng Ming, who was only the ninth prince at the time, stood in front of the gate of Jianing Palace owned by Concubine Yi, Gu, and blocked the way of Emperor Lin.

Other princes were granted titles and allowed to leave the palace at the age of fifteen, and set up their own governments. Feng Ming had been waiting for another two years, but there was no movement at all.

Emperor Lin was just coming out of Jianing Palace, preparing to attend the morning court, when he was blocked at the palace gate by Feng Ming: "I understand. I will inform the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Household to discuss it later."

Emperor Feng Xun had a headache whenever he saw Feng Ming since what happened on his birthday four years ago. He still remembered Feng Ming's reckless and stubborn behavior.

On that day of the Wanshou Festival, everything was peaceful and harmonious. Feng Ming, who was only twelve or thirteen years old, appeared out of nowhere and grabbed the birthday peach in front of him. Even the palace servants couldn't stop him.

Afterwards, Feng Ming started yelling and claiming that he had not had enough food for a long time and was simply starving.

Emperor Lin was so humiliated at the time that he had to question the palace maids.

The palace maid did a perfunctory job.

Feng Ming refused to give in and insisted on clarifying every detail, including the withholding of food, clothing and even monthly allowance.

Each of the eunuchs was more cunning than the other and they all shirked their responsibilities one by one.

Emperor Lin originally wanted to pick out the two ringleaders and punish them, and then replace them with two more people to serve Feng Ming and that would be the end of it.

Unexpectedly, Feng Ming disagreed at all. In the following few days, he "hunted down and intercepted" him every day, and "threw a scene" in public, using all means possible, determined to hold all the people involved accountable and severely punish them.

Emperor Lin was also tough at the beginning and sent people to lock Feng Ming up in Huilan Garden.

But that was not to see the prisoners after all. Feng Ming would run out by himself, shouting and screaming in front of everyone.

Then Emperor Lin used the Ninth Prince's illness as a cover-up and sent an imperial physician to diagnose the prince. However, Feng Suo burned the physician's beard.

Emperor Lin couldn't stop those bad memories from coming to his mind, and they even made him break out in a cold sweat.

After all, the son was his own, and there was no other choice but to compromise except to kill him.

Finally, Emperor Lin beat all the people pointed out by Feng Suo and expelled them from the palace. Only then did Feng Ming finally calm down.
