Floods in the south of the Yangtze River caused disasters, thousands of refugees, starving and dying everywhere.

The emperor was worried about the country and the people, and he was shocked by the bad news of the third prince, so he couldn't get sick.People in the court hall were panicked, but at this time, the second prince stood up, serving the emperor at night, and rushing to the court hall during the day.On the contrary, he has done his best to serve the country and the people.

The fourth prince really invited him to Jiangnan as Zhou Huaiyan expected.The emperor did not stop this time.The eighth prince doesn't understand government affairs, but at such a special moment, no matter what he thinks in his heart, he still has to serve the emperor's bedside and be a filial son.

However, at this moment, apart from the daily perfunctory greetings, the Ninth Prince also summoned a group of actors into the palace to eat, drink and have fun, becoming more and more unscrupulous.It's like taking the appearance of an unfilial son to the extreme.

Even Xiao Shisan was a little worried, and even ran to Qiwu Palace several times,

At night, the Keqiwu Palace was very lively, and a stage was specially set up.

"Brother Xiaojiu, are you really not going to serve Emperor Father?"

The child's immature face is full of anxiety,

"Minmin heard a lot of people say...about you..."

"—that I am unfilial?"

Zhou Huaiyan sneered, and he sat crookedly on the recliner, leisurely listening to the euphemism coming from not far away.

Although it was night, many lights were lit on the stage, and the babbling and singing were particularly artistic in the summer night wind.

The history of this era is different from his original one, and the stories sung in natural operas are also different, but the literary value is not lost at all.

Zhou Huaiyan liked it very much, and would call people to listen to it every now and then.

"Second brother and starling are vying to serve in front of the imperial court, and there are a bunch of concubines in the harem, each of whom wants to sharpen their heads and sneak into the Xuanzheng Palace. Why do I bother to squeeze in the excitement?"

"But......"

Xiao Shisan was still worried, because he had tasted the warmth and coldness of human relationships prematurely when he was young, so he had a strong dependence and concern for Zhou Huaiyan, the only one who would give them mother and child protection.At the same time, the precocious Xiao Shisan also keenly sensed the undercurrent surging among the several imperial brothers.

"It's fine if Brother Xiaojiu usually drinks and has fun like this, but now it's a special moment, isn't Brother Xiaojiu worried?"

"Worry?"

Zhou Huaiyan looked at the white tiger cub fluttering at butterflies in the yard, then casually opened his mouth, and bit the lychee that Ah Fei had fed.Now in August, it happens to be the season for the last batch of late-ripening lychees, and they were sent from the south in a hurry. They are extremely expensive, even priceless, and only the imperial palace can enjoy them.

He smiled slightly, and there seemed to be no deep meaning in his words.

"There is no need for that. Father is in good health. Maybe he can live a long life."

The sweet juice of lychee flooded his lips and tongue, and the young man suddenly thought of a poem,

[The concubine riding Hongchen laughs, no one knows that it's litchi. 】

But speaking of concubines...

"How is the woman who attracted the white tiger in the last ceremony?"

Ah Fei carefully peeled the lychee shells, the sweet juice made his fingertips wet,

"Returning to the master, after the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, the woman was brought back to the mansion by the second prince, but she never went to bed, and it was even said that the second prince introduced the woman as a confidant."

"confidant......?"

Even Xiao Shisan was a little surprised. Although the second emperor brother looks like a handsome young man, he actually has the deepest thoughts, and most of the people he makes friends with are the children of famous families. It's strange that a woman from birth is cited as a confidant.

After all, Xiao Shisan felt very deeply that the second emperor brother looked down on poor families.Because his mother was an official daughter, among all the princes, brother Xiaojiu was the only one who treated him well, followed by brother four.

The rest, bully him.

Thinking of this, Xiao Shisan moved closer to the boy again, hesitant to speak.After repeating this for a long time, Zhou Huaiyan watched anxiously. He picked up a lychee and smashed it precisely on the child's forehead.

bump!

A little light red mark suddenly appeared on the fair forehead

But Xiao Shisan had no time to take care of it, he just caught it in a hurry and held it in his palm carefully.

【—It’s litchi. 】

The bright red shell is big and full, even if you have not peeled the shell, you can see how tender and juicy the pulp inside is.

The capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty was established in the north, so every summer, it could only spend a lot of manpower and material resources to transport lychees from the south.The lychees shipped over are the largest and plumpest, and sent to the emperor's Xuanzheng Hall first, and then to some favored princes and concubines.

An unfavored little prince like Zhou Huaimin couldn't eat it, or could only eat some leftovers from the election.The child cautiously raised his head, seeing that the boy was not looking at him, he put it into his arms.

——Bring it back to Auntie.

The prince whose mother's family is weak and not favored is so miserable.

But after this little episode, Zhou Huaimin remembered what he wanted to say just now,

"Brother Nine..."

boom--!

Another lychee hit on the forehead.

"If you keep hemming and haggling like this, don't come here again, Your Highness."

Zhou Huaiyan hates being tricked by others.

"Ah! Brother Xiaojiu calm down, Minmin doesn't dare."

Xiao Shisan hurried to the boy's side, grabbed his sleeve, couldn't help leaning over and whispered,

"On that day, Minmin accidentally heard Brother Eight Emperor say that Father Emperor might... die, Brother Xiao Jiu, do you want to...prepare early?"

Ah Fei's hearing is excellent, and the child's deliberately lowered voice did not hide a word from him.The movement of peeling the lychees suddenly slowed down.

【Prepare early...】

Those emerald eyes slightly lowered,

【Master has already made preparations. 】

The longer he stayed by Zhou Huaiyan's side, the more he was shocked by the youth's intelligence, which was almost as wise as a demon.Everything that happened today, even everyone's next step, was clearly calculated by the master.

After the assassination incident, the master woke up and dug out Yanzhou in less than three days. After keeping him by his side the next day, he quietly asked people to find out his life experience.If it weren't for the alien king Qu Pingye's Human Gu plan being a top secret, he might be dug out within three days of hiding.

Even later, the emperor's thoughts, the identity that Master Jiankong of the White Horse Temple took decades to conceal, the empress' resentment and pain, and Qi Shoubang's bait for fishing, the third prince's fake death...

Everything is under the master's control.

Many people even unknowingly became Zhou Huaiyan's pawns.

Ah Fei's admiration for the boy almost reached the point of a fanatical believer, but at the same time, he began to feel afraid again.

I am afraid that the master will find that he has been... quietly passing information from the palace to those people for the past few months.Afraid of the master discovering his identity and past.

Ah Fei closed her eyes forcefully, and deftly fed the peeled lychee into the master's mouth.

However, from Zhou Huaiyan's perspective, he had found out the details of Ah Fei early on, and he was always very accurate in seeing people. After getting along for so long, the latter had already passed his inspection.

A young man has always been suspicious of people and employers, so naturally he has never doubted the person next to him who hugs him intimately every day.

At this time, Zhou Huaiyan frowned when he heard that Xiao Shisan had secretly reminded him about the seizure of the heir.

"What are you preparing for? Don't think of the father as being so fragile. Maybe he will live longer than us sons."

"But......"

Xiao Shisan wanted to say something, but his arms suddenly felt heavy, he bowed his head,

——It’s a big bunch of lychees.

"... Brother Xiaojiu?"

Zhou Huaiyan didn't even look at him, but looked at the stage leisurely, as if he was extremely intoxicated

"My Highness is tired of eating, and it would be a waste to lose it. I will give it to you."

"..."

In the eyes of other princes, this may be a humiliation, but Zhou Huaimin has long been used to it. He knows that Brother Xiaojiu just said so, but in fact it was specially given to him.

"Thank you Brother Xiaojiu, Minmin likes Brother Xiaojiu the most."

The child wants to come over and act like a spoiled child again.On such a hot day, Zhou Huaiyan didn't want to touch such a brat, so he quickly pushed him away,

"Go away, hurry up, and block His Highness from watching the show."

"Okay, Minmin will leave now."

Zhou Huaiyan heaved a sigh of relief after finally sending that clingy spirit away.He just turned around to say something to Ah Fei, but saw that the latter was distracted.The boy's eyes paused for a moment on the kitten's wet fingers,

"咚咚-"

The knocking sound of the finger bones on the table immediately brought the kitten back to its senses. The latter looked at Zhou Huaiyan calmly, and Ah Fei's heart skipped a beat, and panic crawled up his back.

"Master...Master..."

"What are you thinking about so preoccupied?"

Zhou Huaiyan faintly sensed something was wrong, but couldn't tell.Just when Ah Fei didn't know how to answer, the little eunuch Dou Sha eagerly came up,

"Your Highness, the play you ordered is finished today, and there are still a group of dancers waiting outside, how about you show me your appreciation?"

"...a dancing girl?"

Zhou Huaiyan remembered that he still had a reputation for being lewd, so naturally he had to have more beautiful women by his side.

"His Majesty is tired of watching the dance books in the palace, is there something new?"

"Yes! Yes!"

The little eunuch suddenly smiled a little bit, he moved closer,

"Your Highness, can you move to the inner hall? Today, the servant deliberately picked some who can dance."

"..."

It should be said that this lecherous prince pretended to be so good that even the people around him believed it.Zhou Huaiyan wanted to help his forehead a little bit, but he accidentally caught a glimpse of Ah Fei beside him who was shocked, nervous, and somewhat depressed and angry. The young man changed his mind immediately. He stood up and walked towards the inner hall.

"Then give it a reward. If it's not gorgeous enough, my Highness will not spare you."

"Where can it be, Your Highness, just watch, this dance is absolutely..."

Ah Fei couldn't hear the rest of the words, his mind was full of the master wanting to watch the sex dance, and wanting to see other women dancing the sex dance. Is it just a joke?or is it true?But I’ve heard the play just now, so there’s no need to watch Wu again, even if I want to watch it, I don’t need to watch Yan... Yan Wu...

Could it be that the master disliked him and wanted to play something new?

Ah Fei felt uneasy in her heart, bitter and astringent, but her feet kept following her.

The gate was closed tightly, and all the maids and eunuchs serving inside also retreated. In the misty red veil, dancers in hot red dresses appeared one after another.

Their dance skirts are very cool, there is almost only a thin layer of red gauze, the soft skin is faintly visible, the chest is very low, and you can even see the deep gully, and underneath, the slender and soft waist is boldly exposed limb.

The skirt was more like a cheongsam, with slits all the way to the thighs. When walking, the silver bells on the ankles moved with the wind, and almost all of her beautiful long legs were exposed.

——It's so hot and sexy to the extreme.

Perhaps for the ancients, such dressing was almost equal to being naked

But for Zhou Huaiyan, who is used to all kinds of modern spicy dances and Korean dances, it is just so-so.

The young man sat casually, casually turning the wine glass in his hand, squinting his eyes, as if he was very satisfied.Ah Fei could no longer tell whether the master was acting, he only knew that the boy's eyes lingered on the naked bodies of those women.

——With such a dress, there are not many men in the world who will not be tempted.

Ah Fei stood beside his master expressionlessly, his eyes resting on the group of overly sexy dancers without any waves. No one knew that at this moment, a murderous intent had been ignited in his heart to the extreme.

The little eunuch walked up to Zhou Huaiyan,

"Your Highness is still satisfied. If you are satisfied, the servant will tell them to start."

Zhou Huaiyan didn't answer, but just chuckled.

Dou Sha understood immediately, but just as he was about to go down, the Ninth Prince called to stop him.The boy leaned over to him and whispered a few words.

The little eunuch immediately showed a puzzled expression, then suddenly glanced at the foreign boy standing beside him with a cold face, and finally seemed to have suddenly realized something, and immediately bowed his head and retreated.

"A Fei,"

Zhou Huaiyan took a sip of wine, and felt the aggrieved kitten approaching him immediately,

"I heard from Master Wei that you have a very good memory. You can remember the fists and kicks taught after reading it once?"

"Yes......"

Ah Fei was still jealous of those dancing girls, but when he heard the boy mention this suddenly, he didn't react at all.

"Really?"

Zhou Huaiyan turned his head, turned the empty wine cup upside down, and lifted the kitten's chin,

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and there seemed to be some deep meaning in his tone.

"A Fei, you won't lie to me, will you?"

"......"

The kitten's palm was pinched in a cold sweat

"No...wouldn't..."

At this moment, Zhou Huaiyan suppressed the smile on his face and stared at him for a long time.It's been so long that Ah Fei even thought that her master had discovered her secret and immediately begged for mercy, but the young man suddenly withdrew the wine glass,

"That's fine."

He raised his hand casually, and the melodious sound of silk and bamboo zither rang out immediately.

"Enjoy the dance, if you lose your mind again this time..."

Zhou Huaiyan didn't finish the rest of the sentence, Ah Fei didn't know what to think, and her face was so pale that it was scary.He immediately knelt down neatly behind the boy, staring at the overly flamboyant dance in front of him without blinking.Knowing that the person in front of them is the most honorable Ninth Prince, who is generous and spends money like water, and even has such a good skin, even if they serve for free for one night, they still make money.

Therefore, the dancers almost exhausted all their skills and tried their best to seduce them.

But no matter how hot and gorgeous they danced, the boy just lazily tilted his face to the side, drinking one cup after another boringly, while the one behind was watching seriously, but his fierce cat eyes wanted to eat them up .When a dance is closed, all the dancers are closed.Not to mention hooking him up for a while, the other party didn't even show politeness with a slight hardening, and the expression on his face was not even as interesting as watching a movie just now.

"Huh? Finished dancing?"

Zhou Huaiyan waited for the music to stop before recovering, he waved his hand casually,

"Then back off."

"........"

At this time, not only the dancer, but even Ah Fei was stunned.But immediately, he was overjoyed again.

——Sure enough, the master was just acting on occasion.

But after waiting for all the dancers to leave, Ah Fei suddenly heard the boy say,

"Did you just wander off?"

"no!"

Ah Fei answered nervously.

"Can you see it carefully?"

"carefully."

The kitten nodded like a pounding garlic.

"Oh, remember that?"

"Remember... eh?"

Ah Fei was stunned.He was stunned for a long time before he realized what the master had just said.The kitten raised its head and looked at the boy hesitantly. The latter pointed to the door, where a red dance dress was placed at some point.

"Go, put it on, and show me the jump."

"..."

After a while, Ah Fei looked at the obscene clothes on her body, and her whole body was almost cooked.Ah Fei's whole body was covered with powder.Gen, it's hard to walk at all, let alone jump... dance.I still have to dance like that group of women... just like that.

"Owner......"

The kitten is stuttering and wants to fight again

"Why, can't you remember?"

The young man didn't understand his embarrassment at all. On the contrary, he was sitting casually crookedly at the moment, pointing to the side face with one hand, and watching with great interest.

"No, remember, but..."

Ah Fei's voice trembled.

"Lied?"

"--No!!!"

Kitten immediately retorted, but, but he stood for a long time, and finally came up with a reluctant reason.

"No...no music..."

Zhou Huaiyan just kicked everyone out, including the musicians.The young man thought about it and found it reasonable,

"Then wait,"

Ah Fei hadn't heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the master bring out a piano from the study.The piano has been hanging on the wall, very beautiful, exquisite as a collectible.Ah Fei hadn't seen her master play it before, so she thought it was really a collection.

however--

Soon, the melodious sound of the piano poured out from the young man's fingertips. This kind of music was a thousand times more beautiful than the sounds of the piano performances that Ah Fei heard on New Year's Eve.

No wonder the owner was not interested in playing the piano at that time. After all, like a master with outstanding piano skills, he probably wouldn't have any special reaction when he saw a child of a few years playing the strings.

"Here, there is music."

Zhou Huaiyan's voice interrupted Ah Fei's meditation.The kitten looked up, and saw the young man chuckle slightly,

"let's start."

"..."

After a while, the silver bell rang with the sound of the piano,

Afterwards, the palace people in Qiwu Palace regretted that the melodious zither sound lasted too short, but the bell sounded intermittently until dawn.

Very annoying.

But it was rumored from the Ninth Prince's dormitory, who would dare to say more.
