"Princess Yi has both ability and political integrity, and benefits the country and the people. I will give you a thousand taels of gold and ten thousand pieces of silk..."

Jiang Li bowed his head slowly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Even though he cannot be promoted to a noble, the Emperor is just being polite and rewarding him with something.

"Banquet," Queen Lin Yan'er gently raised her hand, with bottomless killing intent, it seemed that Jiang Li couldn't stay anymore.

Jiang Li watched the woman in the center dance lightly, the appearance of the stars and the moon, she was glamorous and moving, "This is the most favored concubine Shu in the harem," Nan Zhiyi said softly.

"Wait a minute, I'll get drunk and leave for a while to do something, you wait for me to come back obediently." Nan Zhiyi looked at the beauties dancing in the middle and drank a glass of wine.

"En," Jiang Li nodded lightly. This banquet can be described as a large-scale talent show for the concubines. The ancient emperors were extremely extravagant.

Jiang Li watched Nan Zhiyi walk away for a while, eating in silence, a figure stood in front of him, "Don't you wonder where he went?"

"His Royal Highness," Jiang Li smiled slightly, and Nan Zhichen leaned over and said softly, "I'm afraid King Yi is meeting his old lover, Concubine Shu, in private."

Jiang Li looked at the people around him, but luckily the dance music was loud enough and everyone was enjoying the song and dance, no one paid attention to them yet, "Your Highness, that's the prince's business." He didn't care about Nan Zhiyi's affairs, at most that The woman is the eyeliner he arranges in the harem.

"Follow me," Nan Zhichen threatened, "otherwise I will tell my father right now to catch the traitor together."

"Where are you going?" Jiang Li asked calmly. Seeing that he was holding the winning ticket, he was inexplicably worried, "You will know when you go," Nan Zhichen raised his eyebrows lightly.

Jiang Li followed him through the long alley, which became more and more remote, "You really did that water conservancy project," Nan Zhichen was a little unbelievable, how could a person like Miss Shengui have such shocking thoughts.

"It's okay, I'm just suggesting," Jiang Li said softly, "Where are we going?" He couldn't go too far, in case Nan Zhiyi couldn't find him when he came back.

"Take you to find King Yi, don't you want to know what he's doing now?" Nan Zhichen grabbed Jiang Li's wrist.

Being dragged all the way to the cold palace, Jiang Li vaguely heard Nan Zhiyi's voice, "During this time, wait for the news before acting."

"My lord, I'm leaving now," Concubine Shu reached out to hug him, "I haven't seen you for a long time, don't you miss me?"

"Thought, it's just that the king is going back soon," Nan Zhiyi let go of her hand, "Don't worry, no one will see this," Concubine Shu's vaguely suppressed panting made the listeners blush and heartbeat, " I want a baby,"

"How about it?" Nan Zhichen turned his head to look at Jiang Li, "I didn't lie to you, King Yi is the best at winning people's hearts, so be careful not to be fooled by his rhetoric,"

Jiang Li heard the sound of footsteps slowly approaching nearby, and his brain, which was like thunder, had no time to think, "You brought someone else." Everything tonight seemed to be a well-designed trap. He would guess the location so accurately, and bring people here so quietly.

If someone saw it, Nan Zhiyi might be cheated to death by his father.

"It's such a good show, how can there be only the two of us," the prince covered Jiang Li's mouth and hid behind the tree. He just bought off Concubine Shu's personal maid in advance, and even used the cipher text between the queen and Prime Minister Jiang as a lure. If not, how could Nan Zhiyi be fooled.

Hearing the sound of approaching footsteps, Jiang Li bent slightly and picked up the scattered wooden sticks on the ground. Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he knocked the prince unconscious beside him neatly, and quickly ran to the rockery not far away.

"Ah," Concubine Shu heard the sound of approaching footsteps, and Nan Zhiyi covered her mouth, "The prince has found someone, let's go quickly." Jiang Li ignored the disheveled Concubine Shu and went straight up Take his wrist.

Seeing Jiang Li, Nan Zhiyi froze in place for a moment, how could he be here, "My lord, let's go,"

"I'm afraid it's too late," Nan Zhiyi directly pulled Jiang Li into the door of the cold palace, Concubine Shu quickly tidied up her appearance, but fortunately she was also changing into the maid's clothes, so she slipped away a little.

"Jiang Li, you believe me, it's not what you see," Nan Zhiyi hugged him in panic, her body still smelled of women's makeup, "I really haven't touched her, I'm just playing around, you know, I didn't lie to you, I wanted to leave too."

Jiang Li leaned on his shoulder, listening to his words, he didn't even feel a little pleasure. According to the ancient concept of loyalty, almost no men have this consciousness, because three wives and four concubines are very normal for them, but he can't accept it. , and I don’t want to force him with my own ideas.

Maybe it's because I don't love enough...

"My lord, if you like it, just have a baby," Jiang Li said softly, maybe it would be better this way, he believed him, but he thought that Nan Zhiyi wouldn't make such a fuss with him.

"What do you mean?" Nan Zhiyi clasped his shoulders. He was most afraid of Jiang Li's alienated eyes, like sand slipping through his fingers, and he couldn't catch it no matter what.

He wasn't angry, didn't blame him, the first sentence turned out to be asking him to have a child.

"I heard that the Crown Princess is pregnant, and she should be the first eldest grandson in the Southern Dynasty." Jiang Li said perfunctorily. He also heard people talking behind his back that he was a man, and he was taking the favor of the prince, so he couldn't serve the royal family. The branches and leaves scattered, and the entire Yi Wang Mansion lost face.

Although he didn't care about it, it was still scary after all.

"I think you are angry with the king, and I will settle accounts with you when I go back." Nan Zhiyi turned around and looked at the deserted and old appearance of the room, "This is the bedroom of the mother and concubine. After his death that year, the king has never entered here. , I have no face to see her because my revenge has not been reported."

"On the beam above the head, the mother and concubine were gifted to death by the queen's white silk, and hung on it for three days and three nights, and even the body was not safe." Nan Zhiyi raised his eyes, and his eyes were cold. For ten years, he had never told anyone Pass.

"My lord, my condolences, if your mother is in the spirit of heaven, she will bless you." Jiang Li held his hand, maybe out of sympathy, the teenage child was thrown to the border to fight, the emperor must let him die.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, what's wrong with you," the palace man outside the door began to shout, "I'm afraid there is an assassin, search for me,"

Nan Zhiyi pulled Jiang Li out of the house, pretending to be puzzled, "Where is there an assassin, what's wrong with His Royal Highness?"

Nan Zhichen woke up startled, was helped up by the palace servants, looked at the two people in front of him, "You, you," he really didn't expect that Jiang Li would sneak up on him, without any precautions, "Why are you here?"

"Your Highness said this, did you forget that this is the bedroom of the queen mother and concubine, and the king finally entered the palace, so naturally he came to show the princess to have a look." Nan Zhiyi said sadly, it was reasonable and there was no flaw.

"Yi Wang, you have a heart." Nan Zhichen glared at Jiang Li. Now that he has no proof, his anger is even more headache.

"Then Your Highness should go back to the palace earlier, remember to send the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment, and this king will leave first," Nan Zhiyi put his arms around Jiang Li and walked past him.

After the dinner, returning to the palace, Nan Zhiyi came out of the shower, and had to clarify some things, "What's the matter, my lord?" Jiang Li leaned on the pillow, a little tired.

"tonight,"

"The crown prince took me there tonight, and then I knocked him out, and then I went to find you." Jiang Li closed his eyes slightly, and explained concisely, the intrigue in the palace really doesn't stop all day, " My lord, I have nothing to ask, just go to sleep, it's already late, "

Nan Zhiyi lay sideways beside him, "You saved me." Could it be that he didn't feel any resentment seeing him with other women, and he managed the situation so astutely, and the secret letter that Concubine Shu gave him was all It's fake, it should be the prince who set up a trick to lure him over, "Why didn't you scold me?"

Should I praise you for being calm, or praise you for being cool, I tried again and again, and all I got was the answer he didn't want to hear, that he didn't love him.

"My lord, aren't you tired?" Jiang Li stretched out his hand to cover him with the quilt, "Go to sleep." Life is so tiring, there is no mood to quarrel.

"Don't sleep," Nan Zhiyi put his arms around his waist and pleaded in a deep voice, "Jiang Li, can't you take a look at me? I have never loved anyone in my life. If you want, let me do it." Everything is fine,"

Jiang Li lowered his eyes, not daring to look into his eyes, just afraid that he would soften his heart, "My lord, what I say is for your own good,"

"But I don't think so, you are just heartless," Nan Zhiyi stubbornly held him in his arms, only in this way could he feel a little bit safe.

"My lord, get used to it," Jiang Li smiled helplessly, his brows slightly frowned, "I'm so tired," Nan Zhiyi looked at the peaceful sleeping face in his arms, "I drank too much wine, after you left, many people I didn't know All the officials here come to toast me, and I can't refuse." Jiang Li murmured softly.

"Fool, it's fine if you don't drink, they don't dare to do anything to you," Nan Zhi said dotingly, "Are you entertaining? I'm Princess Yi anyway. If they refuse, they will lose face. They should say that I didn't." Courtesy," Jiang Li replied softly, it's not good for your reputation.

"It's for me," Nan Zhiyi stroked his long hair, his gloomy eyes glowed again, and gently kissed his forehead, "Go to sleep." It turned out that he still cared about him, and he didn't want to say anything after doing it. , It's hard-spoken and soft-hearted.

Jiang Li woke up in the morning with a headache, and fell asleep again in a daze. In his sleep, he vaguely heard the sound of the piano, which was quiet and long, like the sound of a stream in an empty valley, flowing slowly and extremely meditative.

Opening his eyes, he saw Nan Zhiyi by the window, wearing light blue clothes, extremely elegant, and his originally stern brows and eyes were somewhat warm, like a gentleman, he was thinking like a grinder, but in fact he was only in his early twenties , but that face is always full of gloom.

"That sounds good," Jiang Li put on his clothes and got off the bed, and walked to his side, "Why didn't you call me?"

"I see you are sleeping well," Nan Zhiyi smiled softly, "How is it? Is your head still hurting? Drink some of the hangover soup prepared for you, and you won't feel uncomfortable."
