In Luoying Palace, Concubine Wang is lying on a chaise longue with her eyes closed and taking a nap, and the maid next to her smears Zhu Dan on her. From a distance, she looks like a pretty girl of twenty-eight years old, but in fact she is nearly forty years old and has a mature personality. The woman's charm is charming, and under the noble palace attire, she looks graceful and luxurious. She only feels dignified and enchanting, which makes people unable to take their eyes off.

Such a woman can only be possessed by the most honorable emperor of the Dashun Dynasty.

Soon, hearing the sound of footsteps from near to far, Concubine Wang Guifei opened her eyes and looked back at her hand. When the maid painted the last finger, she raised her hand and waved it lightly. All the maids in the palace were silent. And retreated quickly, only in time to bow to the person who came.

"Mother Concubine." Standing in front of Wang Guifei, King Jing raised his hand and saluted respectfully.

Concubine Wang Guifei didn't get up, she was still lying lazily on the recline, her posture was graceful and moving, and she said, "Your grandmother just came here with first aunt and second aunt, crying gave me a headache."

"Let the mother and concubine bother." King Jing said guiltily.

Wang Guifei smiled and got up slowly: "Your grandmother said that Hua'er and Fan'er had been soaking in the lake for a long time, and they both got cold and are bedridden now. Xiao Wan didn't cry or make trouble, but she just cut them with scissors. A strand of hair. Lang'er, if this marriage continues, she will have to go home and become an aunt."

King Jing frowned very tightly: "Liu Ke, that boy, really doesn't know how to flatter you, it's worth not mentioning this family's troubles like this."

"With Xiaowan's talent and appearance, no man in the world would want to marry such a girl. If it weren't for the age difference between you and her, I would have wanted to kiss her and point her to you as my concubine. Liu Ke just disappeared."

When Concubine Wang Guifei said this, King Jing said thoughtfully: "What concubine mother meant, did he do it on purpose?"

"Throwing my future brother-in-law directly into the lake almost killed me. The two families are feuding. I really can't wait to marry Xiaowan. Who would do that? No matter how messy Liu Ke was before, he has never been so disrespectful."

King Jing's gaze deepened immediately after hearing this: "Could it be that he knows?"

Wang Guifei looked at her bright red nails, but did not speak.

King Jing thought for a while, and finally shook his head: "Impossible, we only recently discovered that there is a hidden power in the hands of my uncle and grandfather. How could Liu Ke know? Besides, my uncle has retired and is not in the capital. Liu Ke She has been living in the palace all the time, right under our noses, if there is contact, it is impossible for us not to know."

Wang Guifei looked over and asked, "Then how do you explain what happened yesterday?"

King Jing sighed: "I asked, although Liu Ke and Meng Lang wanted to see Xiao Wan in private, but Wang Zihua and Wang Zifan insulted Liu Ke in public, and even mentioned... the deceased Wang Concubine."

Wang Pin is Liu Ke's biological mother and Wang Guifei's cousin.

The palace scandal 20 years ago was a stain on Liu Ke's background, and it was also a pain he could never tolerate.No one dared to mention the awe of the royal family in person, but the Wang family was so prosperous at the moment, the angry Wang Zihua and Wang Zifan forgot about this taboo, and poked Liu Ke's rebellious insults, without even thinking about it, they knew how ugly the words were .

After King Jing knew about it, it wasn't hard to guess why Liu Ke didn't feel any guilt after getting into trouble, but said coldly and viciously: It's cheap for them.

It's the same for anyone who is scolded.

When Wang Concubine was mentioned, Wang Guifei's eyes were dark, suddenly she raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Whether it was intentional or not, you will find out if you try again."

"How to try?"

Concubine Wang said: "Xiao Wan, I was reluctant to part with it. If I don't marry, I won't marry. If I change someone, there are so many girls in the capital, and there will always be a suitable one. If my uncle only has this grandson, he has a lot of resentment towards the Wang family. Don't even bother with that kid."

King Jing nodded: "Mother and concubine are bothered." Then he smiled wryly, "Brother Duan Wang and Yang Shenxing have joined forces to confuse father and emperor to carry out the new policy. .”

Concubine Wang Guifei got up from the reclining chair, came in front of King Jing, raised her hand to touch the wrinkles between his brows, and said distressedly: "You were kind at first, but this unfamiliar white-eyed wolf is restless, and I have to let you If you come forward to take care of him, don't keep it."

King Jing had obviously exhausted his patience and did not object, "What happened yesterday, all the families who supported me also criticized me, especially Ding Guogong, whose wife's birthday was so messed up, no one can swallow it. This tone. They have impeached the emperor in front of the father and asked the fief to let him leave the capital."

"That's fine, out of sight and out of mind." Wang Guifei said again, "By the way, isn't it said that Mrs. Yunyang Hou should write a letter to sue Yang Shenxing, is it feasible?"

"The concubine didn't get an answer, so she let that boy Liu Ke screw it up, but it doesn't matter, just go and urge her."

Dacheng Palace

Liu Ke knelt on the cold floor, standing upright.

The candlelight at night was a bit dim, leaving circles of shadows on the ground. He lowered his head and couldn't see his face clearly.

On Majesty Dan, the emperor sitting on the dragon chair had gray hair at the temples, and his sunken eye sockets looked a little sluggish, as if they were very empty, but his eyes were sternly looking at his son kneeling on the ground.

"You are becoming more and more lawless, what else can't you do?"

The voice was deep and majestic, but without any warmth. Liu Ke was used to it, and kept his head down in silence.But there was a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and he thought that would be too much.

Emperor Shun narrowed his eyes slightly: "Why, if you get into trouble, you will pretend to be a quail. The court ministers will complain to me one by one, and the royal family will lose all face for you!"

Liu Ke raised his head when he heard this, and asked in surprise: "Does the royal family still have such a thing as face?" He gave a meaningful look to the eunuch standing next to Emperor Shun. There is also a touch of charm and beauty in the room.Seeing it like this, Liu Ke couldn't help shrinking back.

Suddenly there was an angry shout from the dragon chair, accompanied by a heavy slap on the back of the dragon chair: "Presumptuous!"

Liu Ke obediently withdrew his eyes, shrugged his shoulders, and continued to kneel properly.But this pretended obedience didn't appease Emperor Shun's anger, because every time he got into trouble, Liu Ke always looked like this.

A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, it is probably more appropriate, and it will be committed next time. Thinking of this, Emperor Shun became even more angry: "So ignorant of repentance, arrogant, I should have known that I should not have kept you in the first place!"

These words made Liu Ke subconsciously clenched the fist placed by his side.

"So, you are still not convinced? It's not my kindness, why are you here?"

Liu Ke smiled, and asked sincerely, "Then why didn't you just strangle him to death?"

"Pa—" A cup of tea hit his feet directly, and the broken porcelain scratched the back of his hand in an instant.

Emperor Shun asked loudly, "What did you say!"

Liu Ke looked down at the wound that was slowly oozing blood, as if he didn't feel the sting.

"Tell me again! Cough cough..." It seemed that the words were too hasty, and he couldn't catch his breath. Emperor Shun coughed, leaned on the dragon chair with his body hunched over and trembled, making the little boy beside him tremble. The eunuch panicked.

Finally, an old lady heard the voice and hurried in: "Ah, the emperor is angry, why are you so mad at yourself?" This is the chief servant who has served the emperor for a long time, Qin Hai , "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up, pour water for the emperor."

The little eunuch seemed to have just arrived, and his hands were still unstable, so the tea was spilled, but he finally handed it to Emperor Shun.After taking a sip of water, Emperor Shun gasped for a few times, and finally calmed down. His face was flushed and his eyes were filled with anger: "You unfilial thing, I won't tolerate you this time! Since you don't want to stay in the capital, then Get out of here!"

Hearing this, Liu Ke suddenly raised his head with disbelief in his eyes.

Emperor Shun sneered: "I'm afraid now, didn't you speak very stubbornly just now?"

Liu Ke's eyes slowly became darker.

Emperor Shun gave birth to many sons, but only three adult princes remained. His feelings for Liu Ke were the most complicated. Seeing his silence, his tone slowed down slightly, "Is it wrong?"

However, Liu Ke raised his head and asked, "Can my son get out?"

Emperor Shun's face froze immediately, and then he roared angrily: "Get lost——"

Liu Ke got up from the ground in a hurry, and rolled quickly on his legs and feet, so angry that Emperor Shun couldn't go up or down in one breath.

"Your majesty, please calm down." After he left, Qin Hai comforted him, while the emperor closed his eyes and his chest heaved, and finally he let out a hateful voice, "This is something that doesn't know what's good or bad!"

Qin Hai consoled him: "His Royal Highness Seventh is still young and ignorant..."

"It's already twenty, still not sensible?"

"But it's not married yet." Qin Hai sneered, and then he glanced at the little eunuch, "It's none of your business here, go down and rest."

The little eunuch lowered his eyes and said softly, "Yes."

At the door, Liu Ke hadn't gone far, and was kicking the pillars beside the steps, when he saw the little eunuch come out, he looked playfully at his face.

The little eunuch hid, but was stopped by Liu Ke: "What are you hiding, newcomer, what's his name?"

The little eunuch lowered his head and replied: "Return, return to Your Highness, the emperor gave the name Xiaoyuan..." Speaking of the last two words, like a mosquito screaming, it was almost indistinct.

"I was asking what your original name was."

The little eunuch subconsciously raised his head and was stunned.

Liu Ke was impatient: "Don't remember?"

"Yuan, Yuanfeng, Zhu Yuanfeng."

"When did you enter the palace?"

"A month ago."

"student?"

The little eunuch showed embarrassment on his face, as if he didn't want to insult these three words.

"Tsk, I know, it's another immoral thing done by that old Qin Hai." Liu Ke's eyes were full of disgust, he glanced at the little eunuch and said, "If you don't have something, you won't be a scholar? Change another way and continue. Just go."

After Liu Ke finished speaking, he turned around and went down the white jade steps, and left.

Although Liu Ke is not married, he is not too young. Although he is not yet a king, he should live in the palace, but for a person like him who doesn't care about red tape at all, who cares, he still bought a house outside the palace. As long as Emperor Shun couldn't bear it anymore and cared about him, he wouldn't bother to go back to the palace to live.

The house is not big, and it enters three times and exits three times. It was given by King Jing, and he accepted it calmly, but the people inside have been changed one after another, except for one who looks over fifty years old and has an eye injury. The dumb people have not been cleared out.

The mute was alone, childless, weeping and kneeling crazily, so Liu Ke stayed impatiently and worked as a rough sweeper in the mansion.

But now the mute is sitting in the study, looking at Liu Ke with his legs crossed with his only remaining eye. The honesty in the eyes of outsiders can no longer be seen on his face, only the vicissitudes of the years and the sufferings are left After the tenacity.

He said in a hoarse voice: "Since the emperor said so, he has already made up his mind to let you leave the capital, and you can be divided in spring at the latest."

"Where do you think I can seal it?" Liu Ke asked, rubbing his chin.

The mute said: "You can look at the map, as long as it is a desolate place, everything is possible."

Desolation means that there are few people, few harvests, and the weather is still difficult. As the king, Liu Ke's life is not good for the people under his seal.

"Then I'm afraid my life will be difficult. The imperial court even defaults on the minister's salary, and it is absolutely stingy to give me money to settle down."

The dumb man smiled hoarsely: "It's okay, you won't lack these in the future, the important thing is that you can stay away from right and wrong, and keep a low profile."

"You mean the New Deal?"

"Yang Shenxing is destined to enter the cabinet, but it is not so easy to implement the new policy. King Jing will definitely obstruct it with all his strength. At that time, the court will only be left with a mess of smoke, and in the end both sides will suffer."

Liu Ke nodded heavily: "Then His Highness will wait for them to fight with the snipe and the clam." His face was relaxed, as if he was at ease.

Seeing this, the dumb uncle smiled slightly, the undulating grooves on his face squeezed his eyes and looked a little scary.

"Although Mrs. Wang's marriage will definitely not work out, don't take it lightly. You may choose someone else."

"I'm about to get out of the capital. The mother and son still don't give up?" Liu Ke looked at the mute, and suddenly asked, "What did my grandfather leave me, so I want it so much?"

"Yes..." Before the mute could finish speaking, there was a sudden tightness in his chest, and his body bent down. Seeing this, Liu Ke hurriedly jumped off the chair and supported him, "Uncle Dumb, how are you?"

His eyes were blurred, and his voice seemed to be inaudible. After some time, his five senses gradually came back. Seeing Liu Ke's panicked expression, he grabbed hold of it and said, "Don't, don't go to the imperial physician..."

"You have come like this, and..."

"I can't die." The mute hissed with a laugh, "My poor life, I still have to live well to see what happens to those people... Don't give up, lest you be suspected."

Liu Ke clenched his fists tightly, while the mute opened his white fingers one by one, and said as if nothing had happened: "What is left to you is the heritage of the century-old Wang family, what do you think?"

Liu Ke's heart moved when he heard the words: "My grandfather never told me."

"It's too early, you can't keep it now."

Liu Ke helped the mute back to the chair, and pondered: "Although it's okay to marry a wife, I'm afraid that small troubles will cause big troubles, endless, it seems that we have to find a way once and for all, dumb uncle, do you have any ideas?"

The mute shook his head, indicating that there was nothing for the time being.

The think tank was actually not recruited, but Liu Ke was so clever that he kept emptying his head, so he didn't bother to think about such troublesome things.He touched his chin and decided to change his brains.
