The Eighth Wise King became addicted to eavesdropping on the silly princess' thoughts

The emperor was sitting next to a pile of memorials and official documents in the imperial study, diligently reviewing each one.

He was a good emperor who was diligent in government affairs. He wanted to be like Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, who expanded the territory, established immortal achievements, accepted advice readily, and left a good reputation for generations to come!

His temple name was Taizong, and he wanted to surpass his brother Emperor Taizu of Song. His achievements in civil and military affairs, and his reputation as a saint, would all surpass those of Emperor Taizu. In the history books of the future, the great achievements, wisdom, and virtue of Emperor Taizong of Song would be recorded!

Zhao Guangyi knew that he, like Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, had come to the wrong position, a stain that was extremely difficult to erase. Therefore, he would redouble his efforts!

Li Shimin, the Emperor Taizong of Tang who killed his brother and usurped the throne, was able to become an emperor admired and respected by later generations. He, the Emperor Taizong of Song who killed his brother and usurped the throne, can also do it, and will do it better!

Wang Jie'en came in and bowed his head to report, "Your Majesty, the commander of the Imperial City Division, Cheng Wuya, is here."

The emperor raised his head and threw away the imperial pen in his hand, "Let him in."

Cheng Wuya, who always wore black, walked in and knelt on the ground: "Your servant Cheng Wuya pays homage to the emperor. Long live the emperor!"

Looking at this capable and trusted general in front of him, the emperor showed a kind smile on his face, "My dear minister, please stand up!"

After thanking him, Cheng Wuya stood up and glanced at Wang Jie'en who was standing beside him with his head lowered.

"Your Majesty, the Prince of Qi secretly met with the Infantry Commander General Dingyuan Wang Chengliang today. The two of them conspired in the Prince of Qi's study for more than an hour. The Prince of Qi's study was well guarded, and we were unable to discover what they were planning."

The emperor's face darkened!

"This brother of mine is really a cause of worry! He hid in the palace under the pretext of illness and didn't even go out on the day of his nephew's wedding. But he kept making moves behind the scenes. It seems that De Zhao's death has finally made him unable to sit still."

Wang Jie'en said cautiously, "Your Majesty, could the thieves who break into the palace day and night be sent by the King of Qi?"

After the Emperor stood up and walked out of the imperial desk, he said, "It's possible, but not necessarily! If they were sent by Prince Qi Zhao Tingmei, they should have assassinated me directly.

Taking great risks to visit the Wansui Palace at night, do Zhao Tingmei and Emperor Taizu have such a deep relationship? "

Cheng Wuya warned, "Prince Qi and the eldest prince are very close, Your Majesty must be vigilant."

The emperor looked with satisfaction at this trusted and beloved general who was loyal to him and had no scruples in what he said and did.

"Yuan Zuo has had a good relationship with his fourth uncle since he was young, so there is no need to worry too much. You just need to keep an eye on the King of Qi and the King of Qin!"

Cheng Wuya bowed and accepted the order, "I will obey your Majesty's will! ... But the King of Qin is extremely difficult to monitor. The shadow guards around him are all highly skilled in martial arts, and the King of Qin himself is a rare top master in the world.

To be frustrating, if we fight alone, I am no match for him. I have already lost more than 40 of my best men to monitor him, so it is very difficult to get up close and monitor the King of Qin!"

The emperor's face was gloomy, and he paced a few steps, "Fortunately, he did not dare to eliminate the people I arranged in his Qin Palace, and he was able to get some information from Qin Palace.

Wuya! You should keep a close eye on Prince Zhao Tingmei of Qi in the near future. I am afraid he is about to make a big move."

"I obey your order!" Cheng Wuya received the order and left the imperial study.

The emperor glanced at Wang Jie'en, who was bowing his head and lowering his brows beside him.

“Since the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the position of prefect of the capital and prince has been the standard for the crown prince.

I also ascended the throne from the position of Kaifeng Prefecture Governor. Could it be that my brother has this idea now, and he wants to emulate me?"

Wang Jie'en thought to himself, Your Majesty, you already know the answer, why are you asking me this?

Wang Jie'en, who was best at guessing the emperor's intentions, looked up at the emperor and said.

"Your Majesty, the "Golden Casket Alliance" created by the Left Prime Minister Zhao Pu, although it helped Your Majesty to regain his throne, has now become a hidden danger!"

Seeing that the emperor did not look angry, Wang Jie'en boldly continued, "According to the provisions of the "Golden Casket Alliance", the first in the order of succession to the throne is the Prince of Qi.

After the King of Wei committed suicide with a knife, the next one was the King of Qin, and then it was the turn of the eldest prince and his brothers.

Whoever sits on the position of the prefect of Kaifeng would not be tempted by this tempting yet dangerous supreme throne!

Your Majesty, please take precautions as soon as possible!"

Wang Jie'en's words hit the mark exactly what the emperor was thinking.

The emperor looked at this loyal and understanding confidant with approval.

"You guys helped me ascend to the throne. I will remember your loyalty in my heart. I will ensure that you will enjoy wealth and glory for the rest of your lives."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jie'en immediately knelt down on the ground!

"I will serve the emperor even if I die!"...

The emperor left the imperial study and went to Concubine Li.

As soon as I entered the palace, I heard bursts of laughter coming from inside.

Seeing the emperor coming, the palace maids and eunuchs hurriedly prostrated themselves on the ground and greeted His Majesty the Emperor.

Concubine Li stepped forward and bowed, still with an irrepressible smile on her face.

"Your Majesty, please come here. I almost died of laughter just now!"

The emperor took Concubine Li's hand and asked as he sat down, "What made my beloved concubine so happy?"

Li Xianfei raised her sleeves to cover her mouth and laughed, "What else could it be? Of course it's that stupid princess in the Qin Palace.

I heard that the stupid princess with a mental illness went out of the palace yesterday dressed as a man to play. She, Miss Gao from the Prince's Mansion, and Miss Yang from the Tianbo Yang Mansion were at the Daxiangguo Temple..."

Concubine Li Xian couldn't help laughing for a while before continuing, "In front of a clinic near Daxiangguo Temple, I met Gao Yingxiong, the young master of the Prince's Mansion, and Cao Wei, the beloved son of Cao Bin, the Duke of Lu. I brought them..."

When Concubine Li Xianfei said this, she couldn't help but hold her stomach and giggle again.

The emperor had heard the report a long time ago and had laughed a lot in the imperial study. He was still smiling brightly as he waited for his beloved concubine to tell his story again.

"That silly princess, Miss Gao, and Miss Yang tied Gao Yingxiong and Cao Wei to a hitching post. They used... used... used the embroidered shoes that Miss Gao and Miss Yang were wearing... to block their mouths!..."

Concubine Li laughed so hard that she was out of breath before she explained the whole process of the incident.

The emperor cooperated with his beloved concubine and laughed heartily.

“The funniest thing is… that stupid princess, claiming that they are a trio of brain-dead people… it makes me laugh to death!

She really has self-awareness. A woman who can do such a thing must be mentally retarded. ...

This silly princess is so interesting and can make people happy. I must invite her to the flower-viewing banquet I will hold in the palace in three days.

...How can my flower-viewing banquet be without such a wonderful person who makes me so happy?"

...............

When Prince of Qin Zhao Defang returned to the palace from the hot spring villa outside the city, it was already the hour of Xu.

Without even having time to eat dinner, King Qin gave Yun Yi an order and hurried into the house and into the tunnel.

When King Qin arrived at the end of the tunnel in Ningxin Garden, he heard bursts of laughter coming from the house.

I quickly held my breath, jumped to the exit silently, and pricked up my ears with excitement!

"Touching the left earlobe is three tubes, touching the right earlobe is six tubes, touching the left side of the nose is twenty thousand, touching the right side of the nose is eighty thousand, touching the middle of the nose is five Kui, touching the left eyebrow is seven..."

"Wrong, wrong! Yingchun, you got it wrong again! There are three strands when you touch the tip of your left eyebrow! There are seven strands when you raise your hand and gently stroke the hair on your left temple." Ruhua corrected with a smile.

Siyu smiled and joked, "Yingchun, if you can't pass this recitation, next time Liu Xian'er comes again, we'll have to change someone else!"

"No, no! Sister Siyu, when I win enough one thousand taels, can you buy a small courtyard for my parents first and then change someone else?" Yingchun begged hurriedly.

"I will not sleep tonight, and I will definitely memorize these secret codes set by the princess!"

Ruhua asked while washing the young lady's hair, "Young lady, is there any pattern to the secret codes you made? Let Yingchun and the others know it quickly, and memorize it as soon as possible, so that we can win money when the scapegoat comes again!"

Luo Li lay on her back in the bathtub and said lazily, "There is no pattern. I just said it casually at the beginning. Now I can't remember it myself. You just need to memorize it according to the record on the paper!"

Ruhua smiled and teased her young lady, "I thought so! How could my young lady, who is so lazy, be willing to work out this set of codes? It turns out that she just said it casually, which makes it a bit difficult for us to memorize it."

Luo Li raised her hand and gave her a brain-smacking blow!

"You ungrateful little flower! After I invented this mahjong tile, I helped you develop this set of codes. Isn't it just so that one day, I can find some suckers for you to rip off?

You won so much money today, and you still want to complain to your young lady about the hardship of memorizing homework?"

Siyu said, "The code set by the young lady is to let us win some pocket money when we have the chance.

"The mahjong game invented by our young lady has earned at least three hundred thousand taels of silver, right? That's the big part!"

The King of Qin was secretly surprised!

It turns out that the mahjong tiles that have been popular among the wealthy and powerful ladies in Beijing over the past six months were actually invented by their own silly princess. She really is someone who knows how to both eat and have fun!

No wonder she is so domineering when spending money, it turns out this spendthrift woman is actually a small wealthy woman!

At this moment, Qin Wang Zhao Defang has already determined in his heart: this silly princess of his is definitely a genius with a smart mind and great vision!

Yingchun asked expectantly, "Sister Ruhua, Sister Siyu, you said that Lin Xian'er, this sucker, lost thousands of taels of silver to us today.

I also spent thirty-two taels of gold and several hundred taels of silver to buy perfumes, soaps, etc. from the princess. Will she come to be taken advantage of again next time?

Don't let her be scared and not dare to come. I have been thinking about saving money to buy a house for my parents these past few years, and I haven't won enough money yet!"

Luo Li said with certainty, "Don't worry, Yingchun. Lin Xian'er will come here again to be the scapegoat. You treat this little bit of gold and silver as a treasure, but it's just a drop in the bucket for Miss Lin Xian'er!"

Yingchun was anxious after hearing this, "Princess, Lin Xian'er's money is all from the Qin Palace. You have to take care of the money in the palace treasury and don't let them squander it!"

Luo Li looked up at Ruhua above her head and said, "Ruhua, you don't need to worry about how much money Lin Xian'er and her daughter withdraw from the treasury, just keep a good record of the accounts.

Although I won't covet a penny from the Qin Palace, I am still very interested in earning money from the Qin Palace in an honest way!"

The King of Qin was so angry that he cursed in his heart, "Little fool! Earning money for your own family is something that only fools who take money out of their left pocket and put it into their right pocket do. How can you be so interested in it?"

Humph! Tell Yun Yi tomorrow to give the princess and her friends armor, bows and horses, and ask for a high price!

Didn’t you take the money from your left pocket into your right pocket? I will take it back from your right pocket into your left pocket for you! 】
