Bab 246: Extra A gentle man

During the reign of Emperor Ouyang Hongxian, there were several princes. All in Da Yang knew that the favored sons would receive the name that corresponded to their father’s. Ouyang Yongxian and Ouyang Mingxian were favored by the emperor. Ouyang Wenrou was not one of them.

His name was not the name that reflected the love of his father.

That was what the people thought, but Ouyang Wenrou disagreed… It was not a beloved name, true, but he was not unloved.

Ever since he was young, he resembled his father so much that Ouyang Hongxian could not bear to keep him in the cage of the royal palace. His name was given by Ouyang Hongxian to free him from the fight for the throne. That was what his mother had told him all along, and Ouyang Wenrou believed her.

Though he had to face some disdain and difficulty as a prince born of a lower rank consort, Empress Wei and Ouyang Mingxian treated him well. Even Ouyang Hongxian, who remained indifferent toward him, never made him feel uncared for.
