I was reborn as the villain

Xun Liuchen followed the Eldest Princess' gaze and exchanged glances with her quickly. The Eldest Princess understood and it was time to talk about the business, so she said: "Let's just talk about beautiful scenery and delicious food. It's getting late now, how about Let’s serve delicious food and wine, and chat while drinking.”

The eldest princess looked at Chen Zhimo, asking for his opinion.

"It's better to be respectful than obedient. To have such an opportunity to taste delicious food at the eldest princess's residence is considered a blessing for my brother and sister."

Chen Zhimo spoke respectfully, but there was no trace of inferiority in his expression, which made the little emperor and the eldest princess look at Chen Zhimo even more differently.

Soon the eldest princess ordered people to serve delicious food and wine. After drinking for three rounds, the four of them became more relaxed, and the conversation became more natural. At this time, the eldest princess suddenly let out a long sigh.

Chen Zhimo sneered in his heart, and finally the "main course" was about to be served.

Chen Zhimo naturally understood that the eldest princess was pretending, so he had to respond wisely so as not to embarrass the eldest princess, so he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Why is the eldest princess sighing? Could it be that there is something wrong between my brother and sister?" What's right?"

"Oh, you misunderstood me. It's not that I'm dissatisfied with you and the girl. It's because of your young and heroic appearance that you think of the pain of my Xun clan." The eldest princess responded to Chen Zhimo's request and said nothing. Did not call him a young hero.

After some contact, Chen Xiaotong and the eldest princess got along quite well. Seeing that the eldest princess was worried, she hurriedly asked, "If your highness has any difficulties, you can speak up. If there is something you can do to help, I will be obliged to do so."

The eldest princess took Chen Xiaotong's hand happily, and said gratefully: "My sister will do it if she has the heart."

The Eldest Princess used retreat as an advance. She showed difficulties but was unwilling to bother others, which made Chen Xiaotong, who did not know much about Xinchengfu, anxious, and said with a little displeasure: "If my sister has something on her mind, she doesn't want to bother others." Let my sister relieve her worries, wouldn't she be treating her as an outsider, although my sister has no ability, but she is still a cultivator, so she can help to some extent."

The eldest princess was overjoyed, what she wanted was Chen Xiaotong's words, on the surface she pretended to be embarrassed, "But..."

Chen Zhimo understood what the eldest princess was thinking, and he sighed in his heart. People in the royal family like to beat around the bush like this. I came here today to help them. Even if she said it directly, Chen Zhimo would not refuse. But this is also good, let the eldest princess and the others deal with themselves carefully, and it will appear that their status is more equal.

Chen Zhimo didn't bother to listen to the eldest princess and Chen Xiaotong talking anymore, so he interrupted coldly: "Sister, I see if you're drunk, how dare you be so bold as to call your highness a sister with the eldest princess, it's brother Have you neglected to discipline you? There is no etiquette at all."

Chen Xiaotong was stunned by Chen Zhimo's drink, she looked at Chen Zhimo aggrievedly, and didn't know what to say, she was afraid of saying the wrong thing, she thought to herself that it was the one that the eldest princess said before that she could be a sister, so then Shi's second brother didn't come out to say anything, but now he scolded himself.

The eldest princess hurriedly smoothed things over, "Sister Xiaotong is my savior, why can't I call her a sister with me? , I will bring Xiaotong into the palace to meet the mother in another day. I think the mother will like Xiaotong when the mother comes. When the mother accepts Xiaotong as a righteous daughter, then Xiaotong will naturally be the younger sister of the palace, so you can rest assured .”

As soon as the princess's words came out, both the little emperor and Chen Zhimo were shocked. The gesture was a bit too big. The little emperor didn't think of it, and neither did Chen Zhimo.

Chen Zhimo calmed down. It seemed that the eldest princess had put a lot of money into wooing him. It could also be seen that the eldest princess was indeed a person with a unique vision, and she did not hesitate to act.

"Thanks to the great love of His Royal Highness, the eldest princess, if we just refuse and find some excuses not to be high-ranking, then we don't know how to praise, but this is not urgent, let's put it aside for now." Chen Zhimo said neither humble nor overbearing .

Chen Zhimo did not show the eagerness to climb the dragon and the phoenix, which made Xun Liuchen very satisfied. Xun Liuchen's knowledge of Chen Zhimo only rested on today's conversation, so his determination to win him over was not as strong as that of the eldest princess. That's why he was shocked by the eldest princess's hand, but he is also an emperor with many thoughts and strategies, and he figured out the joints in an instant, especially admiring Chen Zhimo's performance. As soon as the princess touched it, she nodded inadvertently, and agreed with the Eldest Princess.

The eldest princess originally wanted to make her own decision at the moment, but seeing Xun Liuchen agreed at this time, she was also relieved.

This progress is much faster than Chen Zhimo imagined. If he agrees immediately, then Chen Xiaotong will immediately fly up to the branch and become a phoenix, and then he will follow suit, but Chen Zhimo will not be so simple Standing in a high position, he knew that the high position was very cold, and if he exposed himself too early, it would only become a shield for the royal family, so he used the strategy of delaying the attack.

"By the way, my sister just talked about cultivating immortals. I don't know what state my sister is in now?" The eldest princess began to move towards the topic. Hearing this, Xun Liuchen's eyes lit up inadvertently.

Chen Xiaotong glanced at Chen Zhimo, seeing that the second brother had no intention of stopping her, so he said frankly, "Today I just broke through to the third level of Hongcheng Realm."

The eldest princess was overjoyed: "My younger sister is indeed a beautiful girl in the sky. She has such a cultivation level at a young age, so I am afraid that brother Ling is even more advanced?"

"Is Your Highness the Eldest Princess forgetful or does she not believe in Caomin? Caomin remembers telling Her Royal Highness that Caomin is not a cultivator of immortals." Chen Zhimo joked.

"This palace naturally remembers that it's just a mortal killing the Yin Gathering Beast. It's really unimaginable. The dagger that the young master borrowed from the palace didn't show anything special."

"Caomin remembers saying that Caomin has a way to make mortals have the power to rival those who cultivate immortals."

Chen Zhimo said this with certainty.

Xun Liuchen at the side finally couldn't hold back, clenched his fist and trembled faintly, and the Eldest Princess also showed a slight look of excitement and joy in her eyes, even though both of them were masters of hiding emotions, they still couldn't help the excitement in their hearts.

"I am very curious. What is this method? It can make mortals so powerful." The Eldest Princess suppressed the excitement in her heart and asked casually.

Chen Zhimo paused, and said with embarrassment, "This... This is the unique secret method of the grassroots, so I'm sorry the grassroots can't tell you."

"It's okay, I'm just curious for a while." The eldest princess didn't force Chen Zhimo, she knew that this matter had to be taken slowly, since Chen Zhimo had already admitted that there was a secret method, it meant that there was a chance.

At this time Xun Liuchen suddenly interjected: "This woman's curiosity is strong, come on, brother Chen, ignore them, let's drink."

Talking about having a drink with Chen Zhimo, he continued: "Brother Chen, does he have unique insights into state affairs as if he is on a tour? My younger brother would like to hear more about it."

Chen Zhimo almost lost his glass of wine, and the emperor actually called him his younger brother in front of him. Chen Zhimo was sweating madly, and he stabilized the glass without changing his face.

"How dare grassroots talk about government affairs?" Chen Zhimo replied humbly.

"Hey! Today's emperor speaks widely. He is a wise king who accepts advice with an open mind. He encourages all people to offer suggestions for the country and allows students from all walks of life to criticize the current situation. Let's exchange ideas here. How can it be called false opinion? Besides, there is also His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess here. Now, His Highness represents the royal family, let alone talk about it."

Chen Zhimo smiled awkwardly, and couldn't help thinking, "Brother, can you stop flaunting yourself like this, why do I feel that you are so shameless? Is there any emperor himself who says that he belongs to a wise king?"

The eldest princess also echoed: "I have invited the son to come here today to hear some opinions on the court. Since we have talked about this, why not ask the son to talk about it. It is fine for the court and the emperor. Too scrupulous, isn't the reason why His Majesty speaks out is to brainstorm and govern the country well?"

"The grass people are bold, but the words of the grass people may not be very pleasant, and they are afraid that they will commit the above crime." Chen Zhimo had to say something first.

"It doesn't matter. Your Majesty said that any criticism has its merits. Those who can tolerate praise must not be tolerated, and those who can tolerate criticism are the ones who are the most powerful. But it doesn't matter, my lord." The eldest princess encouraged Chen Chen again. Zhimo.

Chen Zhimo nodded and opened his mouth: "I don't need to say much about the situation in the court. Even the common people know the situation in the court well. Loving the people is truly a blessing for the people of the Shucang Kingdom!"

What Chen Zhimo said made the little emperor smile, not to mention how proud he was.

Chen Zhimo then changed the topic, "However... Although the Holy Majesty has the heart to work hard, he has no foundation to settle down. To put it bluntly, the reason why the Holy Majesty can sit safely on the dragon chair depends entirely on Blessed by the prestigious name of the patriarch of the family, the feeling of not being able to control one's own throne and life is believed to be very uncomfortable."

Xun Liuchen listened silently, with no expression on his face, but his heart was touched. He understood that Chen Zhimo was right, and he didn't even have the capital to settle down.

Chen Zhimo paused and continued: "The temptation of imperial power is huge. No matter which country has fought for the throne in all dynasties, there will always be rivers of blood, but no matter how many people die, there will always be people who will take risks for the throne. The iron and blood scene made many people restrain their minds, but who can guarantee that no one will choose to gamble for the throne."

"The guardian of the king Xun Youshan, the mighty general Yuan Feiyi, and the prime minister Mu Shaocong are the three biggest threats to the imperial power." Chen Zhimo also became straightforward when he said this.

"From Brother Chen's point of view, which of these three people is the greatest threat to the imperial power?" the little emperor asked with a serious expression.

"My son is extremely intelligent, how could he not know?" Chen Zhimo asked with a smile.

"Yuan Feiyi?" The little emperor called out a name.

Chen Zhimo put away his smile and shook his head. The little emperor shouldn't be able to guess who it is. Could it be that he deliberately pretended not to know and let himself pierce this piece of paper?

"It can't be Mu Shaocong. Although he controls the civil service system, he has limited military strength and cannot support him to do such a great thing."

"Your Majesty, don't be so self-righteous. If he can really win the throne by surprise, gather the Holy Majesty's Yuji Battalion and Benlangqi in his hands, and with the strength in his hands, do you think he can do something?"

"Then this person is Mu Shaocong?"

Chen Zhimo didn't know whether the little emperor was pretending to be crazy or not, so he said: "The most unlikely person is often the most likely person."

Both the little emperor and the eldest princess were slightly taken aback, and they couldn't help shouting at the same time: "Protect the king?"

Chen Zhimo nodded.

"Bold, dare to slander the king."

It was inconvenient for the little emperor to reveal his identity, so he could only be challenged by the eldest princess, who slapped the table angrily.

Chen Zhimo frowned, calmed down and said softly, "Caomin really doesn't want to talk about this."

Chen Zhimo's meaning is very clear. Originally, he repeatedly emphasized that he might offend if he didn't listen. Your eldest princess kept urging him to talk about the situation. Now that he has followed her wishes, the eldest princess is not happy again.
