Chapter 52 The Princess’s Beauty Agent (8) (1/2)

Chapter 52 The Princess’s Beauty Agent (8) (1/2)

While Shen Huyang was immersed in getting along with his consort day and night, the fifth prince Shen Huan, who had always been ignored by others, seemed to have had an enlightenment since he came back from Nancheng. He no longer liked to have fun as before, but started doing business seriously.

Although he is young, and because he has been protected by his sister for a long time, he seems to be a little ignorant of the world. It stands to reason that Nancheng did it inexplicably, but the result is unknown. Shen Huan, who should have stumbled several times, actually stumbled like this. The errands will be done properly.

The four princes above all felt uncomfortable that their status was about to be threatened, and they did not bother to send people to their houses one by one to investigate secretly like they did with the other three brothers. Each of them seemed to find out for the first time that they were still in trouble. Like a youngest brother, he pulled Shen Hu'an to chat affectionately.

Fortunately, after some personal investigation, the four princes determined that Shen Huan was still the same idiot as before. Although his stupidity was not so obvious, it was absolutely impossible to achieve anything by relying on his own words.

If he hadn't been hiding his clumsiness on purpose before, then there was someone helping him behind the scenes.

It was rare for the four princes to beat each other this time, but they all started to find out who was around the fifth prince without interfering with each other.

There are some guards who inquire about manpower. This is nothing. The people around the fifth prince have always been fixed, and the guards were assigned according to the law when he was thirteen. If these people are really so smart, why would they hide it for so long.

In addition to these guards, if there is any new face around Shen Hu'an, it is Princess Huyang's consort, a young man from a poor family who is currently working in the Hanlin Academy but always takes leave because of his physical illness.

Princess Huyang used to love riding horses in the spring, but she did not go out this year. Instead, she devoted herself to taking care of her consort in the palace. The imperial doctor was repeatedly summoned to the princess's residence to diagnose and treat her consort.

To be honest, the four princes paid more attention to the eldest princess than the fifth prince.

First of all, she followed the Hu character, which was an honor that other princesses did not have. Although they had not seen how the eldest princess had been favored in the past few years, just the Hu character was enough for them to treat her with caution.

Secondly, unlike her silly little brother, the eldest princess is much smarter.

If she hadn't been protecting Shen Hu'an in the palace, how could Shen Hu'an have been living such a silly and sweet life.

The eldest princess got married to a weak and poor family with little to rely on. The four princes were secretly happy that the fifth prince had no helper.

By then she will be out of the palace, and no matter how much she wants to help her brother, she may be unable to do so.

Who would have thought that the eldest princess was out of the palace, and the fifth prince, who had always been stupid and relied on his sister's protection to survive, would suddenly rise to prominence.

Closer to home, it is unlikely that the sickly prince-in-law is the person they are looking for.

After all, he comes from a poor family. How can he have such a vision? What's more, he is said to be weak and unable to walk due to coughing when the wind blows. This makes the eldest princess stay by his side every day. The fifth prince is even more worried about his sister's widowhood. As soon as he left the palace, he ran over there. When he came back, he looked downcast and drooped. Looking at the scene, he knew that the consort was unwell.

The four princes are not too worried about the eldest princess being widowed. Anyway, even if she is really widowed and has left the palace, there is no way she will be brought back by her father.

After excluding the guards and the new prince-in-law, the princes began to turn their attention to Shen Hu'an's counselor who had not refused to accept him after returning from Nancheng.

All the princes have counselors. Of course, they usually don't have as many as Shen Huan.

Is being a counselor a piece of cake? Thirty! Even if it looks good, there won't be so much.

This is definitely abnormal. Maybe there is a real master among the thirty counselors. The remaining twenty-nine were all accepted by Shen Huan in order to cover up others' eyes.

Otherwise, who would be so stupid? I have never heard of counselors collecting them in bulk.

The four princes who did not believe that the fifth prince, Shen Huan, was really that stupid, locked their targets almost at the same time.

Although the thirty counselors all arrived later, except for those who were arranged by themselves later, all of them were suspected.

"The four princes are not people who are willing to quarrel with each other in person. If they want to find out the person who is guiding His Highness behind the scenes, they will naturally not ask in person. Instead, they will hide in the dark and use their own methods to find it."

Incense was burning in the room, and the scholar in green was holding a black chess piece, which slowly landed on the chessboard. "The four princes have followed your majesty's suspicious temperament. They are conducting investigations in secret. They will definitely run into other princes' hands and investigate people behind their backs." What was your first reaction when you were bumped into?”

Shen Hu'an held the white chess piece in his hand and looked at the chess game with almost scratching his head and scratching his head. He was embarrassed enough, but he still had to answer Lin Shiheng's question. He hesitated for several seconds before he said uncertainly, "Escape?"

"That's right."

The handsome scholar, who had rarely shown an appreciative smile to him for many days, finally showed a smile on his fair face.

"Your Highness has made progress."

"The actions and thoughts of the four princes are not aboveboard. It is normal for them to want to run away when something happens, but if they run away, the other party's reaction will definitely make them suspicious."

"Although they are careful in their actions, they are not without traces. If they check each other, they will definitely find other princes. If your highness encounters this situation, what will you think?"

Shen Hu'an, who had been praised just now, showed relief on his face and replied without thinking, "I would think that the royal brothers are investigating together with me."

A ruler quietly appeared in front of him again.

Shen Hu'an, who had not said anything just now but had an aura of pride all over his body, opened his eyes wide and subconsciously shrank back, "I, I, I said it wrong!"

Lin Shiheng held a ruler in his hand and smiled gently, "Where did your highness go wrong?"

How did he know where he was wrong? He was going to be beaten anyway, so he just had to admit his mistake first.

Shen Hu'an swallowed and stared at the ruler eagerly, speechless for a while.

"That's all."

I thought I was doomed today, but the handsome scholar seemed to have discovered his conscience and put the ruler back lightly, and said in a gentle and elegant voice with a slight magnetism, "Your Highness is young and has always been stupid..."

He paused, swallowed the word, and changed it to another word, "I've always been ignorant of worldly affairs, so it's normal to not understand."

"Over the years, each of the four highnesses has been protected and supported by their mother clan. They have been fighting openly and secretly since they were sensible. They have secretly used many tricks on each other for the position of the prince. They have even formed alliances and confrontations. I saw that there are people under other highnesses in the courtyard. , the first reaction is definitely not that this is also a spy who comes to inquire, but he will speculate in his heart whether your highness has formed an alliance with other princes. "

Shen Hu'an understood it, but he didn't quite understand it.

He unconsciously grabbed the white chess piece and said in confusion, "But I was bullied and ridiculed by them a lot when I was a child. Until I went to Nancheng, I would be ridiculed by several royal brothers when I met them. How could they think that I would form an alliance with them... …”

"There are no permanent enemies in the world."

"Does Your Highness think that the three and four princes who formed an alliance did not resent each other regarding the incident in Nancheng? It's just that the benefits of the alliance were too great, allowing them to suppress their hatred for each other."

"Your Highness, you still underestimate this benefit."

Lin Shiheng's face was still calm and calm, and his words had a gentle tone, but what he said made Shen Huan confused for a long time.

Unlike his four brothers who had been fighting openly and covertly since childhood, he had never fought with anyone. Partly because he was too weak to fight, and partly because he had no image of fighting in his mind.

Just like a child, if he is bullied, he will be left with the thought "This brother bullies me and I hate him if I don't follow him", instead of being bullied like the four half-brothers of the prince. He will never show any hatred, but his mind is full of thoughts: "Be patient and wait until I sit on the throne and kill you first."

Shen Hu'an vaguely knew who the four brothers were, and every time he looked into their eyes, a clear thought arose in his mind.

No matter who of them ascends the throne, his life will definitely not be easy.

Therefore, he wants to ascend to the throne.

But no one told him that the first step to ascending to the throne was to guess what his four brothers were thinking.

The young scholar who looked at the frail young scholar coughed lightly and continued, "As long as the four princes misunderstand that His Highness has formed an alliance with others, we will not need to interfere in the rest of the matter. They will fight on their own."

Shen Huan nodded after understanding, "But what if they come to deal with me first?"

Lin Shiheng chuckled lightly, with gentle eyes, as if he heard a child telling him a joke, "Don't worry, even though His Highness has changed a lot in recent days, in the eyes of the four princes, he is nothing more than a mantis."

In other words, Shen Huan was too weak, and his four brothers did not regard him as an opponent at all.

Shen Huan "..."

He tried to struggle, "Actually, I've been doing really well on errands recently..."

"yes."

Lin Shiheng smiled warmly and gently touched the chessboard with his slender fingers, "Your Highness, it's your turn."

It looks like coaxing a child.

Shen Hu'an depressedly placed the white chess piece on the chessboard, and continued without giving up, "Then according to what my brother-in-law said, I don't have to do anything, and the four brothers can play by themselves?"

"It still needs to be done."

There was joy in his eyes, and he immediately straightened his chest and came out with an air of fearlessness, and said firmly, "Brother-in-law, it doesn't matter, I will definitely be able to do it!"

Lin Shiheng smiled and waved to him, "He lowered his face and looked like he was suppressing his anger."

"As long as His Highness meets other princes tomorrow, it will be like this."

So simple?

Shen Hu'an lowered his face in doubt with an "I'm very angry" look on his face.

"No, do it again."

He thought for a while, his eyebrows slightly raised, and he looked at Lin Shiheng in a glaring manner, "What about this?"

The scholar in green frowned, "Don't frown so much."

"oh."

Shen Huan agreed, but his eyebrows furrowed tighter and tighter.

Lin Shiheng slowly took out the ruler.

"Hands."

The "I'm fierce, I'm super fierce, I'm extremely fierce" expression on the young prince's face immediately collapsed. He subconsciously hid his hands behind his back and looked pitifully at the person in front of him.

"Brother-in-law, don't hit me. I'll learn it right away."

As he spoke, under the intimidation of the ruler, he immediately showed an expression on his face that said, "Although I am very angry, I am holding back my humiliation."

Lin Shiheng nodded with satisfaction, "If His Highness can still look like this after being beaten with a ruler, I can rest assured."

So, he really hit Shen Huan's palm with a ruler.

"Ouch!"

Shen Hu'an, who had never suffered from physical pain since he grew up, had an expression on his face that instantly turned into pain and pity, and he hid behind his hands in grievance.

"Don't fight, don't fight..."

Facing his pitiful pleading, the scholar in Tsing Yi was not moved at all, but said lightly, "Hands."

Shenhu Anwen hung his head as feebly as a plague chicken, and stretched out his hand.

Snapped--

Not wanting to be beaten again, this time he remembered what Lin Shiheng said just now. No matter how much he wanted to put on a painful expression on his face, he frowned and said, "I'm very angry, but I'm holding back my anger." "Looks like.

Lin Shiheng took back his hand with satisfaction and put the ruler back again.

With a gentle smile on his face, he warned, "Your Highness, remember, if you meet the four princes, you will respond with this expression. If you meet His Majesty, just keep an expressionless face."

Shen Huan was angry on his face and crying in his heart.

He just wanted to seize the heir, so why did he train with expressions?

Afraid that he would forget about it and get beaten next time, Shen Huan then played chess while trying his best to put on the look of "I am the most vicious person in the world" on his face.

The most ferocious man in the world coughed lightly, held the black chess piece between his slender fingers, put it down slowly, and gently urged, "It's time for your highness to make a move."

Shen Hu'an quickly dropped the chess piece with a ferocious look on his face, fearing that he would be beaten again if it was too late.

Shen Huyang opened the door and saw such a scene.

Even though he drank a lot of health-preserving soup, the prince-in-law still had a slightly pale face full of gentleness. He was playing chess with his lips pressed carefully. When he heard the movement and looked up, his black eyes were filled with a look that seemed to be able to control people. Melted warmth.

When he saw it was her, the corners of his lips raised slightly, a smile appeared in his eyes, and he shouted in a gentle voice, "Princess."

Shen Huyang couldn't help but smile, "Consort."

She stepped forward and put the velvet white wool blanket she had brought just now on Lin Shiheng's legs. "It's so cold, Prince Consort, you should take more care of yourself."

Lin Shiheng smiled and held her hand. The joints in the hand were distinct. Perhaps due to a long illness, the blue blood vessels on the back of the fair hand were looming, but they were not ugly, and instead made people feel affectionate.

This person, of course, refers to Shen Huyang, who only wants to keep his consort in good health.

She also touched her husband's hand, and felt relieved when she realized that the tentacles were not cold and even felt warm, "Consort, please don't just stay with An'er. Don't forget that the imperial doctor told you to move around more. The one beside me just now The maid came to report that many flowers in the garden were in bloom, and they were so colorful and beautiful. Why don’t we go and enjoy the flowers together in a while? "

Shen Huyang's impression of scholars has always come from her grandfather. In her mind, scholars generally don't like to move around very much. Even if they move around, they will definitely study in another place. If she directly asked the prince to go out for a walk, he would definitely not be willing. Only then did he throw out the flowers in the garden to lure Lin Shiheng out for some activities.

The scholar in green clothes did not refuse, and his eyes as he looked at her seemed to contain a puddle of autumn water, and he was also like the warm spring breeze, always carrying warmth.

"When did I refuse the princess's invitation?"

"After we finish playing this game of chess with His Highness, we will go to enjoy the flowers together."

Hearing his consent, Shen Huyang's eyes became a little more joyful, "Okay, I'll wait here. After a while, we'll go see the spring scenery in the garden together."

Hearing this, the handsome consort lowered his head shyly, lowered his eyelashes slightly, and said warmly, "Although I haven't seen it yet, I already know that all the flowers in this garden put together can't compare to the princess's." A smile.”

Shen Huyang was stunned, with a blush on his face. He was obviously embarrassed, but he still remembered that the prince-in-law was even more embarrassed than himself, so he grabbed the prince-in-law's hand and raised his head with a smile.

Finally, when he raised his eyes, he met his younger brother Shen Huan's face.

She frowned and said, "An'er, what kind of expression do you have?"

Shen Hu'an, who was practicing hard "I'm fierce, I'm super fierce, no one is as fierce as me" was confused, "Huh?"

Before he could react, he heard Shen Huyang whisper in a voice as if he was afraid of scaring the husband beside him, "The prince-in-law is weak. Although you always like to play and make trouble, you should also be careful about the prince-in-law and don't scare him."

Shen Huan "What?"

Shen Huyang, who had protected him since he was a child, thought that his younger brother was suffering from short-sightedness again. He turned his head and asked Lin Shiheng, "Husband-in-law, if An'er makes a mistake, you don't have to be polite. He is already old and it's time for him to become a governor."

The scholar in green shook his head and advised in a gentle voice, "Your Highness is young after all. If he does something wrong, it would be better if he could be persuaded. I am sure he will understand the princess's painstaking efforts."

After saying that, Lin Shiheng turned his head and smiled at Shen Huan, who was staring blankly at the two of them talking, "Your Highness, do you think what I said is right?"

Shen Huan, who had just been beaten twice, subconsciously hid his hands behind his back.

"Yes, everything my brother-in-law said is right!"

Shen Huyang looked at his younger brother helplessly and lovingly, "You just rely on your consort's gentle temperament to not care about you."

Mild-tempered and carefree...

Shen Huan looked at the person in front of him blankly, wanting to ask very much.

Sister, when did you become blind?

However, before he could ask, Lin Shiheng had already picked up a black chess piece and landed it on the chessboard, deciding the outcome.

"Your Highness, the princess and I will go to the garden to enjoy the flowers. You can read these books in the house and take the test again when you come back."

A thick stack of books was placed in front of Shen Huan.

Then, with a stack of books, he watched helplessly as his brother-in-law, who had just hit someone with a ruler, stood up so weakly. He was supported by his sister, pale and coughing softly, and went to the garden with her to enjoy the flowers.

I always feel like something is wrong.

Shen Huan thought hard for a long time and finally understood.

How long can I spend admiring flowers to finish reading this pile of books? !

No matter how sad and angry he was in his heart, Shen Hu'an finally realized what it meant to be aggrieved and angry after Lin Shiheng's gentle instructions, "Your Highness can't finish it, you can take it to the palace and watch it again. Remember to read it carefully and check it next time you meet."

That's the kind of person who is so angry that he just wants to yell three times, "I don't want to see, I don't want to see, I just don't want to see," but he can only shrink his head like a little quail under the eyes of his sister and compromise, saying in a soft voice "Thank you, brother-in-law, for being so kind to me."

He couldn't even speak louder to Lin Shiheng.

Shen Huyang always felt that her prince-in-law was a beauty who could break into pieces at the touch of a touch. She had carefully protected her, so how could she not tell her younger brother not to scare her "weak and easily frightened" prince-in-law.

Shen Hu'an always felt that he was the one who was frightened. Ever since he returned with the pile of books, he had even dreamed of chasing his brother-in-law with a ruler and a hundred marks if he couldn't recite the book.

Therefore, there was no need to pretend. No matter who he was looking at during this period, Shen Huan's eyes were lifeless.

When the people sent out by the eldest prince reported that the third prince's men had been discovered in the mansion purchased by the fifth prince outside the palace, he felt a thump in his heart.

After thinking for a long time, he finally went to Shen Huan's palace to visit, intending to trick his silly, sweet brother.

As a result, when they met, Shen Huan's "I am suppressing my anger" look shocked him.

You know, Shen Huan has always had a good temper.

After all, his brain is not spinning fast and his memory is not good. Even if he is bullied, as long as the person involved does not mention it, he will not think about revenge or anything.

Commonly known as two fools.

And now, Shen Hu'an, who has always been taken advantage of by the eldest prince, has exploded?

Of course he would not think that the youngest brother was in a bad mood and he happened to be hit by a gun. The anger was clearly directed at him.

What happened?

The eldest prince turned over the recent events in his mind.

The only thing that happened was that his subordinates went to the house Shen Huan bought outside the palace to check, but they ran into someone belonging to the third prince.

Did the third prince tell him that he was secretly checking on him?

Have they formed an alliance?

The eldest prince gritted his teeth in his heart, hating how the third prince always had trouble with him. He had united with the fourth prince to oppose him before, but now he even dragged the youngest and most useless Shen Huan on board.

What's the use of finding such a fool!

Are you going to cause trouble for him?

The eldest prince never doubted that Shen Huan deliberately acted like this to deceive him. After all, the fact that Shen Huan was stupid has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. When the eldest princess was still there, there were still people who protected him. Now that the eldest princess has left the palace, the three The prince must have felt that no one would protect him anymore, so he pushed him out to be a gunman.

He would not argue with someone who was stupidly pushed out as a pawn. The most important thing for him was to quickly win over people to form an alliance, so as not to be plotted against by the Third Prince, a guy who only knew how to do tricks behind his back.

Thinking like this, the eldest prince did not care about the brotherly respect he had written in his heart before. He casually said a few words to Shen Hu'an, who had a face full of "I am very angry, I am super angry", and left in a hurry.

After he left, Shen Huan was pushed down and stretched out his hand to rub his face.

It's really tiring to make this expression for a long time.

Quickly eat a snack to replenish yourself.

In the next few days, Shen Hu'an ate several pieces of snacks without replenishing them.

His four brothers seemed to have suddenly discovered that they had a younger brother. They took turns coming to his palace to inquire enthusiastically, and then left in a hurry not long after meeting.

Following Lin Shiheng's instructions, Shen Hu'an had been trying to put on an "angry little pufferfish" look on his face when they came. Although he didn't know what the use was, the four princes in the palace were full of anger in the next few days. Every encounter showed that he was the straw that completely broke the plastic brotherhood between his brothers.

The eldest prince and the third prince broke up on bad terms because he discovered that the house Shen Huan bought outside was actually once owned by someone under the third prince, and was later sold to him at a low price after Shen Huan returned to Nancheng.

Sold at such a low price, who would believe that they had no private correspondence?

The third prince had discovered the eldest prince in Shenhu An, so he suspected that he had attracted the younger brother who was the youngest and most deceptive. However, he was angered by the eldest prince's dirty look.

OK! The eldest prince, who has always loved putting on a show, is too lazy to hide it. He must be in cahoots with the fifth prince!

The plastic brotherhood of the third prince and the fourth prince was broken even more severely.

They also discovered each other's people in Shen Hu'an's house.

No one said anything, but everyone was secretly on guard.

The four princes soon fell into a fight with each other.

The four princes who once wanted to maintain harmony no matter how cruel they were in private were completely torn apart.

One sentence can explain things clearly, but none of these princes who have been fighting since childhood said anything.

To be precise, it is useless even if they tell the truth. These princes who say "I want to eat" can be derived from "If you want to eat, you want to eat food, which means you want to eat all the food in the world, which means you want to be the emperor." Absolutely won't believe it.

The Emperor also noticed the disruption of his sons' false peace.

He directly summoned all five sons.

The first four princes all looked high-spirited, and it was hard to tell who was in conflict with whom.

Only Shen Hu'an had an expressionless face and remained silent while the other four brothers, Balabala, talked in various ways to attract his father's attention.

I don’t know if the four princes did it on purpose, but they all ignored him intentionally or unintentionally during the conversation.

This situation was common in the past. After all, among the five princes, the first four princes were more or less able to get the emperor's love and inquiry, but Shen Hu'an has always been a little pitiful person since he was a child.

Good things never come to him, but every time he is scolded, he is always included.

However, this guy has always comforted himself. Every time he was hit, he would repeat in his mind several times, "Just wait for today | If you ignore me tomorrow, I will definitely make it impossible for you to reach high." He was still the mentally retarded boy.

Except for being able to pretend to be mature in front of his sister Shen Huyang, his little thoughts are always written on his face.

But now, Shen Huan, who had always said, "If you don't pay attention to me, I'll just entertain myself, I won't be unhappy anyway", Shen Huan actually showed such an expression for the first time.

Even the old emperor, who didn't pay much attention to him, paid a little more attention to the youngest child.

Could it be that his four brothers bullied him again?

Or is it because the child has done a good job during this period, but no matter how well he does it, he doesn't get a word of praise and he is having a temper?

The emperor rarely felt guilty.

After all, it is your own child, no matter how indifferent you are, you will still have some feelings in your heart.

Of course, the emotional meaning is that if a person is to die and he has to choose between the minister's son and Shen Hu'an, he will definitely choose to protect his son.

But if you had to choose between the four princes and Shen Huan, then Shen Huan would definitely die.

After all, he had been neglected since childhood, and even if he had feelings, his emotional foundation was not big, not to mention that he still had the thorn in his heart that Concubine Liu might have loved her cousin.

Therefore, after feeling a guilty conscience in his heart, the emperor naturally suppressed this guilty conscience.

He is the emperor, how could he be wrong?

Even if it is wrong, please refer to the previous item.

The emperor, who insisted that he was right, soon received a surprise gift package from Lin Shiheng.

Shen Huyang put down the pen, stared at the beautiful handwriting on the paper, and turned his head to look at Lin Shiheng, who was standing by and polishing ink for her.

"Consort, I've written it."

Lin Shiheng picked up the papers and said, "I really didn't expect that after so many years, the princess would still remember the handwriting of the empress."

Shen Huyang also sighed, "In my memory, my mother-in-law loved to write poems the most, but before she left, she told the nuns around her that they were all burnt to ashes, and not even a piece of paper was left."

"I will use the smoke method to make these papers old. Princess, please remember that Concubine Liu ordered the slaves who served her to burn all the poems she had written. However, one slave was rescued by Concubine Liu and had the grace to save her life. The mother-in-law’s works were burned to ashes, leaving behind a few pictures that are worth remembering.”

"When the princess was young, the empress's maidservants dispersed and knew nothing about this matter."

Shen Huyang looked at the poems on the paper and said, "It's just that I have wronged the consort. You obviously wrote the good poems, but you put them on the mother-in-law's head."

"Nothing serious."

The scholar in Tsing Yi with a handsome face smiled and held his wife's hand that had become cold as she recalled old things.

"You and I are one husband and wife, so why worry about it? In the future, even if it is for the sake of the princess, I will do my best to help His Highness get what he wants."

"On the wedding night, the princess once said that you had no one to rely on. From now on, I will be the princess's support."

"Consort..."

Tears flashed in Shen Huyang's eyes, and she leaned lightly on his shoulder.

"Huyang will also take good care of the consort and let him live a long life."

The thin looking shoulders are so reassuring to lean on.

In the future, she finally had someone to rely on.

The emperor liked to visit gardens.

It may also be because every time he goes to the garden, he happens to meet a talented person playing the piano, a concubine singing under the tree, or a beautiful girl gathering to fly a kite. Concubines and above do not bother to do such things. , they would often sit together in the pavilion, waiting for the emperor to come, and then stand up in surprise to salute.

There were many girls along the way, it all depended on what kind of woman the emperor wanted to choose that day.

He has never been in a hurry. Anyway, all the three thousand beauties in the harem belong to him alone. If he eats this today, it will be the same if he eats that tomorrow.

So sometimes, he would also play other tricks.

For example, today, at the suggestion of the eunuch serving beside him, he did not wear a dragon robe but only a pair of luxurious clothes, and planned to go for a walk.

If you can meet a beautiful lady who has just entered the palace, of course you have to flirt with her.

When the emperor was young, he had "fallen in love" with several beautiful ladies in this way. Later, when the beautiful ladies met the Holy Emperor together, he admired their surprised and surprised looks.

Of course he doesn't feel that doing this is equivalent to "I'm cuckolding myself", but he is very happy with this game.

But this time, the emperor obviously ignored one thing.

He is old. Even if the royal genes are good, he is no longer a handsome boy or a handsome uncle.

He is a beautiful grandfather.

Beautiful girls are often as young as teenagers. How can they fall in love with a beautiful grandpa?

The emperor was not in a hurry after wandering around for half an hour and still hadn't met anyone who wanted to have a romantic encounter with him. At this moment, he hadn't realized how old he was and how incompatible he was with those young concubines.

After all, no one dared to say he was old, whether in the former dynasty or the harem.

He wandered around, but he didn't meet the young concubine, but was bumped by an old maid who was walking hurriedly.

The old maid knelt on the ground with a bang after seeing his face clearly.

"I deserve to die, I deserve to die, please forgive me, Your Majesty..."

If it were in the past, the emperor would have dragged her out and chopped her off, but he was "incognito" and had no guards with him. Therefore, when the old maid was begging for mercy, after his anger subsided, he looked at her clothes with interest, which were obviously the clothes of a maid in the cold palace, and asked, "How do you know I am the emperor?"

You know, he had liked many people before, and he also disliked many people after he liked them. Generally, as long as they were childless and aroused his disgust, he would directly send them to the cold palace.

Cold Palace, cold palace, just by looking at the name, you know that he will never go there.

There are so many people in the palace, and there are so many maids and eunuchs serving, not everyone can see the emperor, even the maids in the palace of the favored concubine, many of them don’t know what the emperor looks like, after all, the palace rules require that you kowtow immediately when you see the emperor, how can you look at his appearance.

Therefore, the palace has always recognized people according to the dragon robe and the guards and eunuchs following around.

For example, this old nanny who can be seen at a glance as a cold palace servant and should never have seen the emperor can know who he is at a glance, which really makes the emperor curious.

The old nanny knelt on the ground and trembled with fear, "I... I used to serve beside Empress Liu, so I can see the emperor..."

When the emperor heard the word Liu Fei, he was in a bad mood.

"Liu Fei, no wonder."

When Liu Fei was favored, he went there almost every day, so it was not surprising that the people serving around him remembered his appearance.

"Okay, get up."

Although he was in a bad mood, the emperor was too lazy to argue with such an old woman whose body was half buried in the ground. He waved his hand and planned to go back.

When he thought of Concubine Liu, his mood was inevitably complicated, and he no longer had the heart to hunt for beauty.

"Yes! Yes! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The old woman probably didn't expect that she could escape. She was snotty and crying, but she was still kowtowed desperately with ecstasy on her face. The emperor found it boring and was about to turn around and leave, but he found that a sachet in her arms fell out.

He stopped immediately.

He used to have that sachet.

It was made by Concubine Liu, and after Concubine Liu died, the sachet was thrown away somewhere.

The emperor always thought that he didn't care about Concubine Liu, but unexpectedly, when he saw the sachet for the first time, he immediately remembered how the gentle woman shyly presented the sachet to him. That was also the first time she asked the emperor to carry the sachet with him day and night.

He was fresh at that time, so he agreed at once.

The old nanny hadn't realized she had dropped something yet, and was still banging her head as if she would not stop until she got a concussion, but the emperor had already picked up the sachet and held it in his hand.

"Is this thing left by Concubine Liu?"

The old nanny, whose forehead was already bleeding and blue, raised her head at once when she heard this, and immediately showed a look of fear and reluctance on her face, and said cautiously, "It was left by the queen..."

The emperor touched the sachet, and perhaps because more than ten years had passed, its edges had become a little loose, and the color didn't look as good as he remembered.

It was a shabby thing.

Although he thought so, he didn't plan to return it to the nanny.

Concubine Liu was his woman, and even if she was dead, her things should be handled by him.

As a result, when he touched it, he actually saw the yellowed paper inside through the hole that was open because of the shabbyness.

The emperor frowned, "Didn't Concubine Liu burn all the papers before she passed away?"

For this, he was quite dissatisfied at the beginning.

If you don't feel guilty, why do you burn paper?

"Your Highness...Your Highness told me to burn them all...But your Highness had saved my life before, and I couldn't bear to see the papers that you always loved to hold and look at burn, so I took out two in a panic..."

The old nanny was in a panic and tears fell all over her face again, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, please spare my life..."

The emperor immediately highlighted the key points in his mind.

Always loved!

Watched all the time!

Burned even after death!

There must be something fishy, ​​who knows, what is written on this paper is for her cousin!

With the rage of a dragon, he tore open the sachet roughly and took out the yellowed paper inside, which was obviously of some age.

Great, it is indeed a love poem!

The emperor's face was even more angry, and he looked at this one, then that one, then that one, and then the remaining one.

It is undeniable that these are some good poems, and they are indeed the handwriting of the deceased Concubine Liu.

The lingering love is expressed in the words on the paper.

The emperor was furious.

He and Concubine Liu had a son and a daughter, and he had never received her love poems.

But she actually wrote so many poems to her cousin in secret.

She burned them before she died for fear of being exposed. Good! Concubine Liu is a good one!

"Your Majesty, please spare me! Your Majesty, please spare me! I hid a few of them because I saw that the queen wanted to present these to Your Majesty but was too ill to get out of bed... Please spare me, Your Majesty!"

The words that scared the old lady out of her wits appeared again.

The emperor sneered.

Dedicate it to him?

The two of them have been together for such a long time. Why haven't they seen her? Xian is about to die, but she knows that Xian is a ghost. He will believe that there is a ghost...

He glanced at the paper in his hand again with indifference, but suddenly froze.

These turned out to be three acrostic poems.

In the poem, his name is clearly hidden.

At that time, when the two were deeply in love, he did ask Concubine Liu to address her by her first name.

how come……

The emperor looked at the three poems in his hand in disbelief.

He quickly turned around and went back, and when the people around him came up to him, he ordered them to find the small sachet.

Finally, the eunuch serving beside him found him.

The emperor opened the sachet with trembling hands.

Sure enough, there were three yellowed papers hidden inside.
