fake prince

Chapter 668
Daikoku Mansion
Su Ziji, who had just returned to the mansion by bullock cart, saw a crowd of bullock carts at the gate of a mansion from a distance because this street was a noble square. Many officials and servants were waiting, and they were not in the mood to ask questions. Instead of going directly to the main courtyard, they went to A courtyard for collecting calligraphy and paintings.

"Another hundred calligraphy and paintings, I hope I can gain enough experience." Su Ziji thought to himself, opened the box, took out a copy and unfolded it directly.

Half a piece of red sandalwood indian ghost, almost overlapping with the calligraphy and painting: "Discovering "Seeing Sheep in the Field of Muye", do you learn skills?"

"Yes."

"[Danqing] +400, level 18 (13850/18000)"

"[calligraphy] +300, level 18 (1800/18000)"

"The quality of these one hundred calligraphy and paintings is still higher than before, but the experience gained is getting less and less. That's right, I have almost reached the peak now, and the experience I can give is naturally less and less."

This painting is worth a lot, but Su Ziji absorbed his experience, so he threw it aside and quickly picked up another one.

"Did you learn the skills when you found the "Tiangong Court Meeting Picture"?"

"Yes."

One hundred calligraphy and paintings, slowly appreciating naturally takes time, one or two years may not be completed, but only to absorb experience, even less than half an hour, it has been absorbed.

Shaking his head, he felt the familiar dizziness again.

“【丹青】20级（20000/20000），魅力+1，魅力19→20（10）”

“【书法】20级（20000/20000），资质+1，资质19→20（10）”

“智力20、魅力20级、资质20，天命+1，天命8→9”

After waiting for the dizziness to pass for a long time, Su Ziji stretched out his hand: "Is it done?"

Royal Palace
When the lights were turned on again, although it was the beginning of spring in the imperial study room, the brazier was still lit, and the charcoal was used, not only did not choke, but also carried a faint fragrance.

The emperor in a yellow robe has gray hair, writes with a frown, and coughs from time to time.

Eunuch Zhao carefully offered a cup of steaming ginseng tea, and persuaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you have been tired all day, so take a rest."

"Put it down." Looking up, the emperor asked him to put down the ginseng tea. After a while, he approved another paperwork, and the emperor took a few sips of the hot tea just to refresh himself.

The efficacy of Xiao Huan Dan was gradually weakened, but he still had to take it. In winter, it was snowing heavily, and the emperor didn't catch a cold, but now it was early spring, and the brazier was still lit in the house, and the emperor couldn't take it anymore. He had a cough in the past two days stand up.

However, even though the cabinet was helping to review the memorials and the kings had grown up, the guarded emperor never had time to relax.

In winter, due to the heavy snowfall near the capital, some houses were crushed and some people were displaced.

Although neither the former dynasty nor the Zheng dynasty had a standard procedure for disaster relief in various places, the capital city was different. Even the ministers in the court would not want to cause trouble in the place where their family members lived.

This kind of thing will be discussed from time to time, and it has bothered the emperor for a whole winter, especially the border wars, which have not stopped until now. Although he ordered the army of nearby counties to help counter the rebellion, the war is still deadlocked.

Probably the only thing that makes him feel better is that in early spring, there is continuous light rain everywhere, and it doesn't look like there is going to be a drought.

"Spring rain is as expensive as oil."

If there are more droughts or floods in many places this year, the emperor really has to doubt whether he is really old and can't even manage the country well.

"The Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart hasn't been found yet. Could it be that they don't want to do their best?" The emperor couldn't help but think, this is completely possible, because no one wants to have another emperor who is immortal.

As soon as this suspicion came out, the emperor became a little more irritable.

On the way, Eunuch Zhao went out for a trip, and when he came back, he looked a little weird, and reported: "Your Majesty, the Princess Mansion sent someone to say that it was Princess Xinping who asked to enter the Tao. I hope the Emperor will allow you."

"What?" The emperor paused with his hand, put down the bag in his hand, frowned and looked at the eunuch in front of him: "Xinping wants to enter Taoism?"

Why did that girl Xinping suddenly have such a plan?The sudden move made the emperor frown.

It's not that he thinks this request is bad. In fact, the emperor is also a little worried about Xinping's daughter.

The emperor knew clearly about the matter between his daughter and the Duke of Dai that the kings must be helping to fuel the flames, but his daughter was indeed interested in the Duke of Dai.

Whenever he thought of his daughter and Concubine Wu begging him to marry her, the emperor felt as disgusted as if he had eaten a fly.

The chaos between aunts and nephews is related to the reputation of the royal family and the emperor. Once it is confirmed to be true, this is a new dynasty that has just been established for more than [-] years. I am afraid that it will cause some turmoil in public opinion.

Although it is impossible to shake the rule, the remnants of the previous dynasty have not yet died out, and the emperor still cares about the attitude of scholars in the world towards the Ji family. Any dynasty that wants to develop for a long time will hope to control public opinion in the early stage. Scandals can't be put on the bright side, even if there is, there must be a fig leaf to cover it up!
As for Princess Xinping, who played a decisive role in this matter, if she is willing to get married, most of these secret rumors can be wiped out, but the premise is that she will be able to love her son-in-law after marriage.

If there is a contradiction between being unloving and indifferent after marriage, the effect will be greatly reduced. This is also the reason why the emperor did not forcefully grant the marriage to Princess Xinping. It made the daughter even more rebellious.

As for making Xinping a Taoist princess, the emperor hadn't really thought about it, but after listening to it now, he suddenly felt that this idea was not bad, but this kind of idea didn't seem like Xinping, a girl, could come up with it by herself.

"Who, who knew about this and gave Xinping an idea?"

Thinking of this, the emperor's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he suddenly asked Eunuch Zhao: "Do you know that Xinping suddenly wants to enter Taoism, but what is the reason?"

The words were plain, but Eunuch Zhao knew that if it was someone else, this well-intentioned person who came up with an idea would definitely be killed immediately, and this is the fate of being involved in royal secrets.

"The old slave knows."

This time, it wasn't because he made people stare at Princess Xinping, but because the people he sent out stared at the people in Dai Guogong's mansion, and then learned the inside story.

He hurriedly bowed: "Your Majesty, it is said that a painting was delivered to the princess because of an order from the Duke of Dai. The painting has been received, please have a look."

As he spoke, he took out a scroll of paintings from his arms and handed them over with both hands.

"So it's the Duke of Dai!" The emperor felt relieved, as long as he wasn't an outsider.

This painting has not been framed, it is just a small volume. Su Ziji is here at this time, and he must be able to recognize that this is a painting he painted. Very baby.

The emperor took it and unfolded it casually, his eyes immediately brightened upon seeing it.

"Nice painting!"
