...

Open eyes.

Very noisy.

Zhang Feng’s mind was in a turmoil, hearing congratulations everywhere, ’Congratulations to the Emperor on another son!’

’A baby? I am a prince?’

Zhang Feng was initially shocked, marveling at the high status, then quickly recovered.

Decades of training and experiences had made Zhang Feng’s mind very steady.

’Need to take that strengthening option quickly, or I’ll fall asleep soon.’

Zhang Feng seized the moment while still awake, endured the noise, and ignored the interference from people touching his small face, wanting to focus on the strengthening.

But to a majestic middle-aged man in a dragon robe, Zhang Feng seemed to have his eyes closed.

Zhang Feng didn’t need to open his eyes to check the strengthening. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

This precise control came naturally as Zhang Feng was a Grandmaster-level martial artist.

At this moment, Zhang Feng, to conserve energy, kept his little hands and feet motionless.

However, upon seeing Zhang Feng not crying and keeping ’quiet’, the man in the dragon robe looked unsettlingly toward the nanny holding Zhang Feng.

"Why is my dragon son... so quiet?" The middle-aged man’s gaze in the dragon robe carried an eerie killing intent.

"Con..." For a moment, all voices of congratulation came to an abrupt halt.

The ministers all held their breath, not daring to speak.

In the entire hall, it was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

"Seventh Prince... Seventh Prince..." The nanny was also trembling in fear, calling out to Zhang Feng.

If the prince were to die in her hands, her entire family, and the family of the midwife, would accompany the Seventh Prince to the ’west’.

’Right, I just got born, I can’t be too quiet.’ Zhang Feng listened to the surrounding sounds and couldn’t help but cry out, putting their minds at ease.

And at that moment, with Zhang Feng crying, everyone was smiling again.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"This old minister congratulates Your Majesty on another sun!"

"Long life to the Seventh Prince!"

The ministers congratulated in unison, and the entire hall was once again full of joy.

"Haha!" The Emperor was overjoyed, looking at the Minister of Rites and all ministers, "Offer sacrifices to heaven and earth! Announce to the world! Celebrate all over the world!"

"Yes!" The ministers responded in unison.

Zhang Feng endured the noise and looked towards the choices.

[Please select your first strengthening]

[1: Literature Prowess?]

[2: Military Strategy?]

[3: Royal Ambition]

[?: Grandmaster-level Martial Arts]

...

Four options, all unseen before.

And there are four?

Zhang Feng did not delay and quickly looked at option 1

[Literature Prowess?: Ordinary, Rare, Prince]

[Effect: Increase the goodwill of the Minister of Rites and the current Prime Minister towards you, additionally, your memory ability in this adventure world increases by 20%]

’Great for studying.’ Zhang Feng glanced and then looked at option 2

[Military Strategy?: Ordinary, Rare, Prince]

[Effect: Increase the goodwill of the Minister of War and the current Grand General towards you, additionally, your aptitude in this adventure world is +1, Martial Arts +1]

’This one is good too.’ Zhang Feng felt tempted, then looked at option 3

[Royal Ambition: Ordinary, Rare, Prince]

[Effect 1: Favorability with the Six Ministries and Cabinet increases]

[Effect 2: Due to violating social norms and disrupting succession order, your status will become ’Crown Prince’ within fifteen years]

[Note 1: After choosing this enhancement, your main quest ’Survive 30 years’ changes to ’Ascend the throne within 30 years’]

[Note 2: After becoming Crown Prince, the non-main quest ’Kill 5 assassins’ changes to ’Evade 25 assassins sent by other princes, and 15 assassination attempts by outsiders’]

[Note 3: Upon completion, your memory in this world increases by 20%, Constitution +1, Martial Arts +1, Longevity +15 (years)]

Zhang Feng frowned as he watched, thinking how becoming emperor at thirty wouldn’t comply with his development, but it seemed quite interesting.

It changed directly from a ’joyful growth world’ to a ’laborious challenging start’.

Zhang Feng directly skipped over and looked at the last additional option.

[Grandmaster Level Combat: Appears after you perfectly complete a certain skill, this entry type (exclusive for martial arts), unique to the growth world, no levels]

[Effect: You are the reincarnation of a combat grandmaster, innate Constitution +2, digestion and absorption capacity +20 grams per year]

With digestion and Constitution, chosen it is.

This life will focus on digestion.

Must eat through the hours of the day to see what the physical weight limit is while maintaining the body shape as much as possible.

Although even in ancient times, there were requirements for a prince’s demeanor, one couldn’t be too fat.

But the family nature is ’Caring Mother’, maybe there’s a change.

...

Spring passed and autumn came.

In the blink of an eye, over five years passed.

On this day, early spring, and the sun was warm.

West of the Imperial City, in Changxiang Palace, the residence of the Empress.

Inside a small hall.

"Oh my little ancestor, you’ve eaten quite a lot today!"

Eunuch Zhao helplessly looked at the four dishes and a soup on the table, then at the ’little chubby ball’ sitting by the table.

Zhang Feng was eating very plumply now, although still about the same height as peers, he weighed twice as much as them.

’The old saying goes, "Punish the bigger, criticize the smaller, but the one cuddled in your arms is the favorite", applies in any world.

And I see the nature of this family too, Empress Mother just spoils me.

Emperor Father is so disappointed in me that he’s numb.’

Zhang Feng thought as he finished a small bowl of rice, handing the bowl to Eunuch Zhao,

"The bowl isn’t big, I’m not full, one more bowl."

"Sigh!" Eunuch Zhao said but did not dare refuse, and could only have a palace maid on the side serve more rice.

"Eunuch Zhao, this is the last bowl." Zhang Feng patted his belly and looked at Eunuch Zhao, who was very kind to him, "Don’t worry, I know my limits."

’Where do you, a little kid, get the sense of knowing your limits?’ Eunuch Zhao frowned but what could he do?

Even if he’s the Vice Director of the inner palace eunuchs, this little chubby ball in front of him is one of the masters of the inner palace.

So, he must comply.

"Seventh Prince." He thought to himself but still tried to advise, "Look at how slender the princes and princesses are, don’t you want to be like them?"

"Hmm, Eunuch Zhao makes a good point." Zhang Feng listened but continued eating, promptly picking up his chopsticks to grab some ’precious jade venison’.

This texture, worthy of the Imperial Kitchen’s careful preparation, is fragrant and beautiful in color, tantalizing even in the spice-limited ancient times.

The rice was also plump, as if carefully selected by the Imperial Kitchen before steaming.

But after seeing Zhang Feng eat so greedily, Eunuch Zhao’s eyelid began to twitch, and he attempted to advise again, "Even the Empress said you could eat more, but you should try to eat less."

"Yes, Mother Empress is right too." Zhang Feng continued eating.

After all, ’Empress Mother’ also has the Eldest Prince and Fourth Prince, both are capable and talented children.

With such good heirs, why not enjoy food and drink?

Otherwise, do what? Fight for the Crown Prince? Cause heartache for Empress Mother and discord among brothers?

Instead of scheming, better to practice more.

Meanwhile.

Zhang Feng lived very regularly, mainly eat, sleep, then practice.

Just to avoid arousing suspicion about why such a young child could practice martial arts,

Zhang Feng would practice alone in his hall.

At the same time.

As Zhang Feng recalled, after finishing the rice in his bowl, he turned to Eunuch Zhao again,

"One more bowl, this is the last one."

’I...’ Eunuch Zhao took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and tried to advise for the third time, "The New Year is over, you are six virtual years old, tomorrow you have to go to the Eastern Palace Academy to study, and you..."

He paused in his words and first glared at the surrounding maids, making them leave.

After they bowed and exited the hall.

Eunuch Zhao pondered many times in his heart before daring to speak, "You’re going to the academy with this body... aren’t you afraid of what the other princes will say..."

He dared not utter the word ’fat’ from beginning to end.

Because he felt it wasn’t a word a servant could say.

Including the previous words, it wasn’t something the maids could hear either.

"Then I won’t go study." Zhang Feng saw the maids had left, no one to serve rice, so simply got up to serve himself.

Not going to study was good, eat and rest after eating, rest and practice martial arts after resting.

"Oh Master! Slow down!" Eunuch Zhao, seeing Zhang Feng get up to serve himself, was afraid that Zhang Feng might fall due to his stature, so hurriedly grabbed the bowl and sighed while serving rice.
