White Mastiff?

Crown Prince Li Lang's expression froze. He could not have imagined that Shihua would ask him for the white mastiff.

"Brother Crown Prince, why don't you say anything? Are you reluctant to let go?"

The prince: "Of course I am willing to give it to you. If Huahua wants it, I will give it to you."

The white mastiff had a rich meal today, a whole roast chicken. He opened his mouth wide and was about to take a big bite, but he sneezed instead.

A-choo

The strong airflow blew the roast chicken in the rice bowl backwards.

It quickly stretched out its claws to retrieve and protect it, and at the same time raised its head alertly and looked around to see who was trying to steal its roast chicken.

Damn it! Whoever said something bad about me behind my back made me sneeze.

Looking down at the roast chicken which was still intact but just covered with some ash, the image of the little baby who was snatching the chicken leg from it suddenly appeared in my mind.

Long time no see, I miss her so much! Oh, no, no, I can't miss her, she will snatch the chicken leg from it.

What it didn't know was that no one said bad things about it, but it was just going to change its owner.

What it could not have imagined was that its peaceful and comfortable days were about to come to an end, and that days of dire straits were approaching.

Shihua clapped her hands and said, "Thank you, Prince. Oh, I want a big dog!"

……

In the northern suburbs of the capital, a neat team was slowly walking towards the capital.

Walking in front were two generals in military uniforms riding tall and fine horses.

The man on the left is a young general in his twenties. He is Jiao Qingchuan, the eldest grandson of Duke Zhenguo Jiao Liang, and the elder brother of Jiao Qingning.

The Jiao family, the Duke of Zhenguo, has been in the military for generations. Jiao Qingchuan was sent to the northern border by Jiao Liang for training.

The bitter cold of the North and the long period of experience allowed him, a young man from the capital, to quickly grow into a young general who could fight in the battlefield and protect the peace of the area.

The price he paid was that he was exposed to the wind, sand and cold wind, and his skin became thick and tough, turning him into a real rough man.

After all, the rough guy was still a child. After being away for a long time, he would miss home. So he took the opportunity when another rough guy returned to Beijing to report on his work and followed him back without hesitation.

"King Cheng, look at you, what are you thinking about? This time when we return to Beijing, we have to stay a little longer and enjoy ourselves."

The man called Cheng Wang by Qingchuan was another rough guy who ran parallel to him, the one who returned to Beijing to report on his work.

He is Prince Cheng Li Xianzhi, the eleventh son of the late emperor and the youngest brother of the current emperor.

The previous emperor had few descendants, and even fewer who survived.

The mother of King Cheng was of low status and was originally just an ordinary maid in the palace. During a night banquet, the late emperor got drunk and had sex with her.

Unexpectedly, this palace maid was very pregnant and got pregnant at first try, which is how she became king.

The mother is honored by her son, and the son is honored by his mother. The mother of King Cheng died suddenly after giving birth to him.

When he was young, he was raised by the late emperor and the queen (now the empress dowager).

King Cheng had neither his mother's protection at home nor his relatives' support outside, making him the least likely person to take the throne.

He himself knew his situation and had no desire for the throne. He just wanted to be a rich and idle king and live out his life.

It was also because of his non-contention that the emperor (empress) treated him well and loved him very much. He was able to grow up smoothly in the turbulent palace.

He grew up in wealth and leisure until he was fifteen years old. However, in this year, for some unknown reason, he threw away his favorite collection of poems and became crazy about learning martial arts.

The Queen Mother couldn't persuade him, so she found a famous teacher to teach him martial arts.

At the age of seventeen, Li Xianzhi was officially canonized as King Cheng. According to ancestral practice, he was allowed to leave the palace, set up a government office and build a mansion. At the same time, the selection of a Queen was put on the agenda.

Everything was developing in a good and beautiful direction in the eyes of the world, but he, contrary to his usual behavior, refused to choose a concubine.

In order to avoid being selected as a concubine, he even left a letter and went to the northern border to guard the border in military uniform.

Seeing him like this, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor no longer mentioned the matter of selecting a concubine.

King Cheng, who was far away from the bustling capital, seemed to have found a place to use his talents while guarding the border in the northern border.

He did not act like a king, but started out as a private soldier, killing his way through.

One military achievement after another allowed him to be promoted from a private to his current position as a general.

The Emperor and the Empress Dowager praised his achievements highly and rewarded him with more and larger fiefdoms.

There was just one thing that made the Emperor and the Empress Dowager extremely anxious.

Even the matter of being selected as the princess cannot be mentioned to him, because he will get angry if anyone mentions it. Even the matter of going to the capital to report on work can be allowed to ...

The ruthless man mentioned by the Beimo Royal Court is His Royal Highness King Cheng.

In the eyes of the people of Beimo, King Cheng was the kind of person who, with just a kitchen knife, could chop them all the way from the border to the capital with sparks and lightning.

It's so fucking scary.

This is also the relatively peaceful place in the North in recent years.

"Oh, I didn't think about anything! I haven't been back for eight years. I don't know what has happened in the capital."

Yes! It has been eight years. I wonder if she has changed? Is she living a peaceful and happy life now?

King Cheng smiled calmly, with a hint of bitterness. It was unclear whether he was responding to Qingchuan or muttering to himself.

Qingchuan was a thick-skinned man and didn't notice King Cheng's micro-expressions. He just thought that King Cheng was asking him what was new in the capital.

He was familiar with this! His sister Qingning often corresponded with him and was well aware of the latest happenings in the capital. He was asking the right person.

He said with gossip and excitement.

"Not to mention the distant past, there was one not long ago. I dare say this is the first of its kind since the founding of Daliang!"

"Oh, really? What is it?"

King Cheng saw that he was getting excited and didn't want to spoil his fun, so he answered casually. As always, he was frugal with his words.

Qingchuan was quite proud to see that he had finally piqued King Cheng's interest.

Along the way, this taciturn guy spoke no more than ten sentences a day. He was either thinking about things alone, or just talking to him and simply responding with a "hmm".

Qingchuan was very happy and drove his horse a little closer to Cheng Wang. He put his head close to him and started broadcasting like a gossipy woman. No, it was a gossipy man.

"Did you know that Xiahou Wenyuan, the Marquis of Loyalty, was dumped and divorced by his wife?

Not only that, what was even more shocking was that his wife not only divorced him, but also took the children she gave birth to with her and left.

You said, it's not uncommon for a woman to divorce her husband's family, but this one with a child, isn't this the first time in our Liang Dynasty that this has happened?"

What, divorce? Loyalty Marquis Mansion, she...

The few words that uttered from Qingchuan's mouth were like a bomb of enormous power dropped into King Cheng's heart. The waves created by the explosion stunned him.

"Qingchuan, the wife of the loyal and righteous Marquis Xiahou Wenyuan you mentioned, is her maiden family from the Yun family of the Imperial Tutor's Mansion? Is the divorce true or false?"

King Cheng’s violent reaction scared Qingchuan.

He was stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, she is the Yun family's legitimate daughter. She is also my sister's future mother-in-law!

What my sister said in the letter is absolutely true."

"what--"

King Cheng roared, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or sad. He pulled the reins and spurred his horse to gallop out.
