Loyang Jin

King Yan, dressed in scarlet robes and brocade robes, sat alone in front of a spacious pear wood round table that could accommodate a dozen people.

Behind him, there were five or six more guards at some point. These guards were only on the surface, and there were at least dozens of guards secretly accompanying King Yan to protect him.

The table was covered with dishes, and at a glance, there were at least twenty dishes.

King Yan is very picky about what he eats. He usually only tastes one bite of each dish. If he is willing to take a second bite, it is enough to prove that the dish is very delicious.

After King Yan finished his lunch, the dishes on the table looked almost untouched.

The door was pushed open.

Eunuch Xi walked in with an attentive smile, nodded and bowed and reported: "Your Highness, I have sent His Highness's name card to Miss Ling Jiu."

King Yan raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Then what was her reaction?"

Disdainful!

Abandon it like a piece of shit!

He even ridiculed the slave mercilessly! In the end, if someone else hadn't helped to pick up the invitation, I wouldn't have been able to make the grade today!

Father-in-law Xi was filled with bitterness, blood and tears, but he did not dare to say a word. He smiled exaggeratedly and said: "Miss Lingjiu was flattered and almost burst into tears with joy. She respectfully accepted the invitation, said a lot of words of gratitude, and said I have to come and thank you in person..."

"Then why didn't she come?" King Yan interrupted Eunuch Xi with a faint smile.

Eunuch Xi's smile froze, then returned to normal, and continued to bend down to apologize: "I boldly took over for Your Highness, and did not let Miss Lingjiu come over. I made my own decision, please forgive me!"

King Yan glanced sideways at Eunuch Xi, and his tone was lazy, with no hint of emotion or anger: "Xiao Xizi, you have been with me for two years, right?"

For a moment, Eunuch Xi couldn't figure out the purpose of King Yan's question, so he answered "yes" tremblingly.

"I have always known that you are arrogant and domineering."

His Highness King Yan's light words made Eunuch Xi's expression change, and he knelt down with a plop: "I don't dare, Your Highness, spare your life!"

King Yan twitched his lips, and his voice became colder: "You just rely on my majesty to show off your power everywhere, that's all. After all, you are my king's person, and going out also represents my face, which makes people afraid. It’s also your fault. I won’t be angry with you because of this. However, you should never fool me by treating me like a fool!”

"In front of me just now, Miss Ling Jiu didn't even kowtow. She was sharp-tongued and didn't fall behind in the slightest. You are just a servant. With her proud character, how can she put you in her eyes?"

"Everything about being flattered and having tears in your eyes are all just made up by you to deceive me!"

The last sentence was accompanied by a sneer, showing a bit of anger.

Eunuch Xi was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and he kowtowed repeatedly and begged for mercy: "Your Highness is naturally wise, and his eyes are as bright as a torch. This servant was so ambitious that he dared to lie to His Highness. I have served His Highness for two years, and I have worked hard without any credit. Please have mercy on Your Highness, Spare my humble life..."

While crying bitterly, he kowtowed heavily. Every time he kowtowed, he hit the solid floor. Soon, his forehead became red and swollen.

He looked embarrassed and pitiful.

King Yan was unmoved.

These chamberlains are all from the palace, and they are all talented people. They are good at bullying others and hiding things from superiors and subordinates. If the master does not have some sharp and ruthless skills, not only will he not be able to control it, but he will be deceived by the slave.

He is usually too lazy to think about it, and if he really wants to fall out, it's just a matter of words.

...

Eunuch Xi's forehead was bleeding and the pain was piercing his bones. But this pain was nothing compared to the chill that kept rising in my heart.

It’s over!

His moment of frivolity and carelessness had already left a bad impression of being domineering and arrogant in King Yan's mind. The errand was not done well, and he was caught lying and cheating... any one of them was a capital crime.

Chamberlains are all slaves of the emperor. They are sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to serve the princes and princesses, and they can only live dependent on their masters. The master would not easily punish the guards. Even if the guards made mistakes, most of them would be spared their lives. But the chamberlain was different. He was beaten to death with a stick, and a straw mat was thrown into a mass grave without even a grave.

When the scenery was high, everyone admired and admired it, but it made the master unhappy, and he fell from the clouds into the mire overnight.

He has served King Yan for two years and can be considered a useful person around King Yan. Recently, I have been a little carefree, acting and speaking a little more boldly, but I didn't expect that I had already made King Yan unhappy...

What happened today is just an introduction.

After figuring this out, Eunuch Xi was so frightened that he almost despaired.

King Yan has always presented himself as a dissolute playboy. I often go in and out of the outer city. I walk around Nanshi for half a day with a birdcage in my hand. I have a private room in Dingxiang Tower and I always come here once or twice a month. King Yan can be seen in the most famous teahouses, theaters and brothels.

He can be called the most noble dandy in the capital.

Empress Xu doted on her young son, and the emperor also favored him, turning a blind eye to these ridiculous behaviors. Occasionally, if it goes too far, it's just a painless scolding.

King Yan became more and more unscrupulous.

Only those who serve closely can get a glimpse of King Yan's true face.

His Highness, Prince Yan, may seem to be acting absurdly, but in reality he has deep thoughts. No one could figure out what was going on in his mind. He usually has a good temper and is not harsh at all. Once he turns against him, he is resolute and cold-blooded.

Eunuch Xi kowtowed hard, and the blood on his forehead flowed down, mixed with tears and runny nose, and he no longer looked arrogant at all.

King Yan finally spoke: "Don't kowtow and beg for mercy. Tell me honestly what happened just now. If there is even half a word that is false, just wait for someone to collect the body for you."

How could Eunuch Xi dare to lie again? He spoke out everything that had happened before in the fastest and most eloquent way in his life.

To be reused by the King of Yan, Eunuch Xi certainly had some merits. He is smooth-talking and good at imitating people's manners and speech. He perfectly imitated Ling Jingshu's indifferent tone with a hint of disdain: "...I never meant to deceive His Highness intentionally. It was just His Highness's kind words, but Miss Ling Jiu didn't appreciate it. I felt really sorry for Your Highness." . In the end, it was Miss Ling Ba who accepted the invitation. Otherwise, I might not be able to handle the errands assigned by His Highness today."

"I was afraid that Your Highness would be unhappy if I told you directly. So I boldly told a few lies. I just hope that Your Highness will feel better, and I have no intention of deceiving His Highness..."

Grandpa Xi burst into tears when he spoke, and was very emotional.

King Yan listened indifferently and looked out through the window.
