In the late Southern and Northern Dynasties, the land of China was divided into multiple political groups.

In 559 AD, Emperor Wen of Chen unified the Southern Dynasties, while the Northern Dynasties were led by the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi.

In 566 AD, Emperor Wen of Chen died, and his eldest son Chen Bozong succeeded to the throne. Emperor Wen's younger brother, King Ancheng, took charge of the court.

In 569 AD, Chen Xu proclaimed himself king and called Emperor Xuan of Chen. He was the first year of Taijian. Unfortunately, Chen Bozong, who was only 19 years old at the time, passed away sadly.

At this time, Chen Xu's eldest son, Chen Shubao, who had just turned 16, transformed from an ordinary small official to a crown prince due to the rise of his father. This shows the result of fighting for his father.

In 577 AD, many major events happened, such as the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the entire China formed a situation where the two major political empires of Southern Chen and Northern Zhou were in harmony.

In 577 AD, it was also the ninth year of Taijian. In December of this year, the early snow covered the territory of Nanchen, and it was covered with whiteness. The Eastern Palace, which had been built for many years, was finally completed in this cold season!

24-year-old Chen Shubao finally owns his own, extremely gorgeous palace. He happily organized his beautiful wife and concubines to pack their bags and move into the East Palace.

One day in December, it was raining and snowing and the weather was gloomy.

Chen Shubao held the stove in his hand and was lying in the study, flipping through books.

"It's dark." Chen Shubao murmured.

"Yes, Your Highness, it's cold, why not go to bed earlier, right?" The old eunuch Xu An said in a sharp voice.

Chen Shubao nodded, closed the books, stood up, straightened his waist, and twisted his left and right again. This old waist was aching slightly. It seemed that he had to restrain himself in the middle of the night.

Xu An held up a plate of wooden signs, and respectfully hunched over, waiting for his master to speak.

Chen Shubao glanced at the signs and said, "Don't turn it over, let's go to Kong Liangdi's place today."

"No." Xu An responded with a flattering smile, handing the stack of wooden signs in his hand to the eunuch beside him, and hurriedly pushing the door for His Royal Highness Chen Shubao.

The cold wind was blowing, with snow beads floating, and drizzle was drizzling. Although the eunuch held an umbrella for Chen Shubao, the wind was still everywhere.

Just as he was walking down the corridor, Chen Shubao accidentally glanced at a small lantern with a blush hanging in the garden under a tree.

What a strange thing is that this lantern is not covered with snow, and the candlelight does not sway in the wind.

"Your Highness, what are you looking at?" Xu An asked.

Chen Shubao touched his chin with one hand, ignored Xu An, and walked straight towards the tree alone.

At this moment, a roar rang out in the air, followed by a dazzling lightning.

Unbiasedly, he just hit the lantern, and Chen Shubao's hand was touching the lantern.

In an instant, the electric current passed by, and Chen Shubao felt a stinging pain and fainted.

Xu An and other eunuchs felt a strong light sting in front of them, and they subconsciously covered their eyes with their hands.

When the light faded, the prince was shaking and stumbled into the snow.

This made Xu An and other eunuchs so anxious. A group of people rushed Chen Shubao back to Chengxiang Palace.

Yes, Chen Shubao's own bedroom is called Chengxiang Palace.

Don't ask why you should give such a sexy name, because the palace is as its name, that is, Chen Shubao, day and night, endless day and night, with the beauties, and the rain and rain.

Now, the Nanchen Palace was in a bad mood.

Chen Shubao's concubines, Kong Liangdi, Gong Guipin, Sun Ji and others rushed to Chengxiang Palace to visit after hearing the news.

Even the Crown Princess Chen Wuhua and Chen Shubao's mother Liu came, and even alarmed Emperor Xuan of Chen!

This was destined to be a tormented night. Everyone was anxiously waiting for the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, hoping that Uncle Chen would wake up safely!

However, outside Chengxiang Hall, in the corner where the lanterns were not illuminated, there was a person quietly watching the bright lights in the hall, and the people in the hall were panicked and running around.

And there was a faint smile on that person's face.

This person is Chen Shuling, Chen Shubao's younger brother.

Although he is a brother of his family, he is not close to him.

"I hope you can't wake up!" Chen Shuling muttered, "I didn't expect that this master's witchcraft was so magical! I just recited it for 49 days and achieved such an amazing effect, hahaha!"

Chen Shuling wanted to laugh loudly, but was afraid of disturbing outsiders. He hurriedly covered up the joy in his heart, frowned, pretended to be sad, and walked slowly towards Chengxiang Palace...

And today, 1441 years later, is the cold winter of December 2018.

After finishing his work for the whole day, Chen Shubao got home from get off work, picked up the kitten that came to greet him, kicked the left and right, threw off the heavy snow boots, turned on the heating, and sat comfortably on the sofa.

The teased book bound in parchment was placed on the coffee table.

The book seller said that this was an ancient book with a long history, which seemed to be a relic of the Southern Chen Dynasty. It was sold at a discount for the New Year, at a low price of 599 yuan.

"Tsk, what a bullshit ancient book?" Chen Shubao muttered, saying that this was a relic of Nan Chen, and he definitely didn't believe it.

But he was used to collecting banned books and miscellaneous books. Seeing that the cowhide was quite old, the text on it was quite exquisite, unlike modern printing products. Out of curiosity, he took out the 599 yuan to buy this rags.

Based on Chen Shubao's years of experience in studying ancient books, the cowhide book is quite similar to the font of Weibei calligraphy, with rigorous strokes and simple and flexible. "It looks quite like the font of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. This fake is considered to be attentive." Chen Shubao laughed.

He lay on the sofa and read a few pages of ancient books. He added the meaning of the ancient Chinese on his mobile phone. He pieced it together and could guess a rough idea.

This ancient text tells the history of the Southern Chen Dynasty.

Speaking of which, Chen Shubao's father was not educated and gave him such a rural name.

It was not until later that Chen Shubao read history that he realized that his name was actually the name of an emperor! Although he was a king who had lost his country...

Now, I accidentally found a book that records the history of Nanchen.

An infinite sense of intimacy surged in Chen Shubao's heart.

There was a sudden lightning and thunder outside the window, and a strong light flashed in front of you. I don’t know if the light came from ancient books or outside the window. In short, Chen Shubao was blinded by surprise.

Before he could calm down, a heart-wrenching pain erupted from his forehead. Under the intense pain stimulation, Chen Shubao finally lost consciousness.

———

"Your Highness, Your Highness, are you awake?" Xu An yelled in a sharp voice.

Chen Shubao felt that this sissy voice was very unpleasant, frowned, and struggled to open his eyelids.

What caught my eye was a pink curtain, fluttering with the breeze.

In addition to the annoying voice, there were the sounds of women choking and crying, filling the eardrums, as if they were about to burst their eardrums.

The tip of the nose smelled a thick smell of powder and perfume.

Therefore, although Chen Shubao was not fully awake, he had already sensed an extraordinary atmosphere in his heart.
