there is a king in the palace
Chapter 61
If someone asks the king, what has changed in his life after becoming a queen.
Your Majesty will answer, except for Zhao Xianao, nothing has changed.
"Dejin, come here."
Xiaodouzi and Xiaoshunzi are more and more capable now, Zhao Xianao changed their names, their status is different, and they cannot always be called cheap names. The surname is Huang... Zhao Xianao named him Huang Dejin. The king couldn't remember Xiaodouzi's name, but Xiao Shunzi remembered it very firmly.
"I'm going to see Zhu An. If the emperor asks, just say that I went for a walk in the imperial garden."
Xiao Shunzi nodded.
After half a month of marriage, the king was really frightened by Zhao Xianao.
Zhu An is still young, and it stands to reason that she should live with her mother. Due to the special situation of the queen, she lives in the side hall of Kunning Palace with the nanny who takes care of her.
When the king went, the nanny was teasing her.
"Slaves see the queen."
"Go down, I'll play with her."
Zhu An just had a full moon, her face was opened a little, her eyes were black and round, her little mouth was pouting up, she was so cute.
"Zhu An~" The king made a face at her, and Zhu An started giggling.
She is a child who loves to laugh.
"Yo Yo Yo, Zhu An's smile is so beautiful, don't you think so?" the king said to Wen Sheng who was in his pocket.
"nor."
"Sure enough, you and your mother are of the same mind." The king ignored him, gently squeezed Zhu An's hand, and shook it twice.
A child just full moon has hands as big as his thumb. A person like Dawang who doesn't know how to strike is extra cautious. Zhu An is also good. No matter how Dawang plays, she doesn't cry or make trouble. She even smiles at Dawang from time to time. .
"When will she leave?" Wen Sheng asked the king, but Zhao Xianao answered him.
"It's early."
The king suddenly turned his head, "Why are you here?"
Zhao Xianao walked over and pinched his ears, "What do you mean, I only went out for a short while, and you dared to run out."
"It's too boring to stay in Qianqing Palace all day, let me go first..." The king touched his ear, feeling a little pain, "What are you using so much energy for?"
Zhao Xianao was stunned, "I didn't try hard, really."
"But my ear hurts so much, it hurts in the past two days..."
"Let me take a look." Zhao Xianao grabbed his ear and glanced inside, it was clean and there was nothing wrong with it, "Why does it hurt?"
The king pressed his fingers on the ear bones, "Just press it like this, it hurts."
Zhao Xianao laughed, "You are on fire, ask the imperial doctor to prescribe some medicine later, and you will be fine after taking it."
"Fire?"
"Who told you to eat so many oranges, stretch out your palms."
The king obediently stretched out his palm, and was surprised to find that his palm turned yellow, "Is this for eating oranges?"
Zhao Xianao wanted to laugh when he thought of the small pile of orange peels in the bed when he lifted the quilt this morning, "I told you to eat less, and even secretly ate it behind my back."
"Then eat less in the future." The king said and hugged Zhu An, "Will she be able to leave in [-] days?"
Zhao Xianao is not very clear, "Some children take two years."
The king was stunned, "It took so long!"
He is a bit lost, it seems that it will take a long time for Zhu An to play with him.
"Yes, she needs a good rest now so that she can grow up faster. You see, she is sleepy. Put her down and go out with me."
The king's expression changed slightly, "I don't want to lie down..."
"Don't lie down, I will take you to eat delicious food."
Only then did the king laugh, "Then let's go."
Putting down Zhu An, the king placed Wen Sheng under her pillow, "You stay with my sister well."
Wen Sheng, who had eaten dozens of tons of dog food, never thought that he would have to take care of a child.
Zhao Xianao said that he would take the king to eat delicious food, but brought him to the imperial garden, the king saw a plate of bright yellow fruits in the pavilion with sharp eyes, rushed over to pick one up and was about to stuff it into his mouth.
Zhao Xianao hurriedly stopped him, "What are you doing?"
The king stared blankly at him, "Eat...isn't that how you eat?"
By the way, he hadn't come to the palace at this time last year, so naturally he hadn't eaten the fruit of this season, "This is honey hope, you have to peel it to eat it."
The king's face was a little hot.
He thought that he was no longer a tiger in the valley after being in the palace for so long.
"When I ate it for the first time, I ate it even with the skin on. Try it and see if you like it." Zhao Xianao peeled off Mi Wang's skin, revealing the golden flesh, which looks extremely alluring with a watery look.
The king took a small bite, and it tasted like carrots. He didn't like the sticky taste, so he frowned and pushed back, "Not good."
Everyone has different tastes, he didn't like Zhao Xianao and didn't continue to feed him, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it over, "Wipe your mouth, don't stain your face."
"So what if it gets dirty?"
Zhao Xianao smiled, "Your face will be very itchy, do you have a problem with me, you are always so angry when you speak."
The king raised his head, "I don't have it!"
"Look." Zhao Xianao moved his body back, saw the king clearly, pointed to his eyes, "Are you angry?"
The king quickly lowered his head, and said aggrievedly with his mouth flattened, "It wasn't you, I told you to stop, but you were still moving inside, and it hurt me so much that I almost peed on the quilt."
Just find someone to comment on it. This little fat tiger opened his mouth to seduce people with nasty words. Can he be blamed for losing self-control?
However, Zhao Xianao liked what he said very much. He glanced around and saw that there was no one, so he deliberately guided the king, "Are you uncomfortable?"
"It's not as uncomfortable as it is comfortable."
"Really? Where is it uncomfortable?"
"It's too itchy, I can't scratch it, I feel uncomfortable all over." The king said solemnly, and gave Zhao Xianao a look.
Zhao Xianao is thirsty again, it seems that summer is really coming, these days his mouth is dry from time to time and his whole body feels hot, "Let's go."
"Where?"
"To tickle you."
The king shook his head very calmly, and sat still on the stone chair in the pavilion, "I don't want it, I just like staying here."
With a smirk on Zhao Xian'ao's face, he casually removed the ribbons that tied the curtains around the gazebo, and the sky outside was completely blocked in an instant.
The king's eyes widened immediately, he got up and was about to run, but was grabbed by someone, "Since you like it, then stay here."
"no!"
"My longing is not in vain."
It's been a long time.
The king lay panting on the table with his legs hanging in the air. He pointed at the curtain and asked hoarsely, "Where did this come from?"
Zhao Xianao sat aside and said with a smile, "You said you don't like lying on the bed all the time, I ordered someone to prepare it, how about it?"
The king wanted to beat him very much, but he really couldn't get up.
Zhao Xianao's stock is called youth... No, the desire to get married lasted until midsummer before it came to an end.
The main reason is that this year is really too hot. The sun hangs high in the blue sky without a trace of cloud. The delicate flowers were hanging down listlessly, scorched by the scorching sun, and irritable like dark clouds, even if Zhao Xianao had the heart, he didn't have the energy.
"It's too hot, it's too hot!" The king was lying on the bed wearing a thin coat, his round cheeks were slightly flushed, his red mouth was slightly opened, and all he exhaled was hot air.
If Zhao Xianao was here, he might have to risk sweating and get bored with him, but fortunately, he wasn't there.
His Majesty originally thought that he would have a good summer without that hair, but he never expected that the summer in the palace is so much hotter than that in Hutou Mountain.
"Queen, queen, the water is ready."
As soon as the water was ready, the king's eyes lit up, he hurried into the bathroom, jumped into the bathtub, and let out a long and comfortable sigh.
The only thing that is cooler now is the newly tapped well water.
The king has to soak in it for several hours a day, and even eats lunch in the bathtub, otherwise he will lose his appetite.
"Queen, this is sour plum juice from the Imperial Dining Room, drink some to relieve the heat."
The king took the sour plum juice, raised his eyes and asked, "Where is the emperor?"
"Still in the council hall."
The hot summer in Chang'an, the severe drought in the south, it has not rained for several months in some places, the land is dry and cracked, and the crops are naturally withered, which means that there will be no harvest this year. It's not a big deal if it's dealt with in time.
Zhao Xianao is discussing disaster relief with several ministers.
The king made a calculation, he might have to touch his own small coffers this time.
It was not until lunch time that Zhao Xianao came back from the council hall. His hot forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and there were two boils on his chin.
"Why are you still in the water?"
The king threw some water on him, "I'm too hot."
"Come out, your fingers are wrinkled, tomorrow I will take you to the palace, it will be cooler there."
For the solemnity and safety of the palace, there are few tall trees, so the sun shines in brightly, but the palace is different, surrounded by water on three sides, shaded by trees everywhere, and there are many ice cubes in the cellar, which is much cooler than the palace, if not In order to deal with the severe drought, Zhao Xianao had already brought the king there.
"Then we can go boating on the lake?"
Zhao Xianao nodded, "Of course, but at night."
The king has already fantasized about sitting on the bow of the boat on a cool night, blowing the wind comfortably.
Just thinking about it is very comfortable.
The weather was too hot, there was nothing important to do, and the ministers didn't want to go to court early, so Zhao Xianao directly gave himself and all the officials a summer vacation. Early the next morning, while the weather was not so hot, he brought Take the king to the palace.
The palace is located at the foot of the Son of Heaven, on the outskirts of the imperial city, with a large area of lakes and swamps, lush vegetation, animals and elk gathered here, and there were people living here, but the former emperor was greedy for pleasure, drove away all the people, expanded the palace and palace, and built around it The wall is 120 miles, and there are hunting grounds and the South China Sea inside.
This place is not as crude as the Beihai Palace, the King thinks it is no worse than the Imperial Palace, on the way, he heard from Zhao Xianao that tigers are kept in captivity here for hunting in the hunting ground.
"I want to see tigers."
Hearing what he said, Zhao Xianao couldn't help but look sideways, "What's there to see?"
"Humph."
"Hum what?"
The king reasoned with him, "Look, if you stay among the tigers all day, will you feel very kind when you see people? I stay with people all day, and it's normal to want to see tigers. How about you?" Isn't it silly to ask what there is to see?"
Zhao Xianao thought about it, it seems that this is the case...
"Then let's go and have a look."
When we arrived at the palace, the king got out of the carriage first, and the feeling was really different. The palace was much cooler than the palace, "There are mountains over there."
Zhao Xian got down from the carriage arrogantly, looked at what he was pointing at, "Well, it's quite cool up there, I'll take you for a stroll later."
The palace is very big, the South China Sea is really as boundless as the sea, connected with the blue sky, there is a gorgeous Jiulong Bridge between the islands in the lake, and there are temples and towers on the mountains in the distance, just like a painting .
"gorgeous……"
"There are many beautiful scenery, I will show you slowly in the future, let's go to have a rest first."
Zhao Xianao took him into Deoksugung Palace, and the people in the palace knew that Zhao Xianao was coming, so they had prepared ice cubes in the room, and it was cold inside the palace.
The king felt like he was in heaven.
"emperor……"
Looking at the king who suddenly burst into tears, Zhao Xianao was a little at a loss, "What's wrong with you?"
The king sighed for a moment, "It's really good to be the emperor."
"..."
When the two are together, the court ladies and eunuchs will voluntarily retreat, so the king said without hesitation, "From today on, I will study hard with you, so that when you die, I will be the emperor, okay. "
Zhao Xianao slapped him on the head, "I want to live until you die first!"
"You hit me again! This is the head of the future emperor!"
"Pa—" Zhao Xian'ao was not polite at all when he hit him, but in a blink of an eye he hugged him and put him on the bed.
The king laughed loudly, and quickly took off all his clothes.
It is rare for him to be so active. Zhao Xianao was a little dazed for a while, but when he came back to his senses, the king had already turned into a tiger, lying on the bed in a shy posture, stretching his short legs with great effort, "Come on ~Happy~"
"..." Can you imagine it?When a man's lower body reacted, the person who made him impulsive turned into a fat tiger covered in flesh all the time, making that obscene gesture and teasing him with that mean tone.
Zhao Xianao knew that when he became a tiger, his skin was rough and his flesh was thick and he was not afraid of pain, so he rushed over and rode on him, hitting his back mercilessly.
"Hey hey hey~ It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt~ I'm mad at you~"
Zhao Xianao was tired from the beating, got off him, went to the side and poured himself a glass of water, "I shouldn't have brought you here, I should have let you heat up in the palace!"
The king has no introspection, "It's hard to cool down, I don't want to be so hot again, wait for winter~"
"Don't talk, I don't want to talk to you now."
"Thick! I knew you were attracted to my beauty, you..." Before the king could finish his words, Zhao Xianao flashed up to him and rubbed his face back and forth.
"Shut up for me!" Zhao Xianao gave him another small hand, and then he got his breath out, "Hurry up and change back, aren't you hungry?"
The king was really hungry, he changed back into a human, put on his clothes, and asked Zhao Xianao, "Have I gained weight?"
Zhao Xianao glanced at him, and said in a strange way, "You can go over it again tonight, and I'll find you a big mirror to take a good look at."
The king doesn't need to take pictures, he just felt that his body has become very heavy, obviously from now on, he has only gained a little weight, but he didn't expect the tiger's appearance to be so much fatter, it is very difficult to curl up like before.
"Hey..." The king sighed heavily, "I can't eat so much in the future."
That's what he said, but Zhao Xianao was very sure that if he gave him a pig, he would be able to chew until only the bones remained.
Since the arrival of the king, those maids and eunuchs have never eaten leftovers.
The main thing is that he doesn't know how hungry or full he is, and he can't stop eating as much as he is given. If Zhao Xianao didn't control his food intake intentionally or unintentionally, he would have already become fat into a ball.
The Xinggong is a place for enjoyment. There are more than 80 ice officials who store ice cubes alone. There are also many ways to eat food and water. In order to know the taste of the king, Xinggong has prepared ten kinds of drinks for him. Apricot crisp drink, ginger honey water, coconut water, sugarcane juice, etc., are all drinks to relieve the heat. As for the food, it is even fresher, such as emerald green bean cake, steamed goldfish dumplings, glazed beads, rouge cold cake, The king looked dazzled.
He then questioned Zhao Xianao, "I have never eaten many of these."
Zhao Xianao imitated him, "Hmph."
"What are you humming?"
"I don't have any money, it's so expensive, it's nice to eat once in a while."
"..."
Zhao Xianao stared at him, "Why do you have that expression? You are lucky that we are still rich, you know, during my father's reign, for a period of time because of lack of money, the food was similar to that of ordinary people's homes."
After hearing this, the king said casually, "Then my father is really miserable."
"your dad?"
"...Yes, isn't your father my father?"
Zhao Xianao moved the chair and moved closer to him, "Don't fool me, tell the truth."
The king was shocked, "You can see this?"
"Don't you claim to be a descendant of the white tiger? Is it your character to recognize your father casually? Tell me, what does General Tiger have to do with you?"
The king was shocked again, "You can guess this!"
In fact, Zhao Xianao didn't guess it, he just tried it casually, "So, say what needs to be said."
The king can only honestly explain to him, "Well...my father has been with many tigresses, and gave birth to many cubs...but my brothers and sisters should have died, and then I don't know why, and you Royal father met, and then became General Tiger, once your royal father was injured and was about to die, he saved your royal father with a blood deed... that's it."
"So that's what happened..." Zhao Xianao wasn't too surprised, and only said two words, "Fate."
"I also feel very destined."
"Then why didn't you tell me before?"
The king looked at him very sincerely, "It's not a big deal, I forgot, really."
From Zhao Xianao's point of view, this is really not a big deal, "Eat it, try this rouge cold cake."
"En!" The king put the rouge cold cake into his mouth, sweet and sour, icy cold, the refreshing comfort spread in his body, the king couldn't help but squinted his eyes.
"Is it tasty?"
"Delicious, is this the taste of rouge? No wonder the rouge I gave Aunt Hui Xin last time is gone, it must have been stolen and eaten!" The king is still very angry when he thinks of this matter.
Zhao Xianao remained silent.
After lunch, Zhao Xianao took the king to see the tiger.
The tiger looked very ferocious, but it was curled up in the cage and remained motionless on this hot day, with flies all over its body.
When the king saw that it was a tigress, he felt pity immediately, "Why are you treating her like this, and why don't you give her a bath?"
Little girl, she should be pretty.
"Tell me, how do you wash it?" Zhao Xianao held back and didn't say, do you think any tiger is like you, holding a knife under the neck and letting them do whatever they want, they also have a temper and dignity .
The king patted his chest, "I'll wash her."
Zhao Xianao looked up at him, "Can I bathe the woman?"
"Of course not."
Zhao Xian smiled proudly, "Same reason."
The king just used this reason to overwhelm him this morning.
"That's different. Humans are naked in the shower, but we tigers have hair in the shower~" the king said, shaking his buttocks twice.
"Then you can ask her if she wants you to wash it."
The king nodded, squatted down against the cage, looked at the tigress inside, and said softly, "Is it hot, do you want to take a bath?"
The tigress, like the leopard named Jieao, had been trained by a beast trainer, but she hadn't developed her wits and had been locked in a cage for a long time. She would smell a strange smell and pounce on it, screaming louder than her. The king is much fiercer.
The king trembled from fright, and squatted down on the ground.
Awkward……
Zhao Xian'ao suppressed his smile, walked over and pulled her up, "Don't bother her, and go to the South China Sea with me?"
The king nodded, glanced at the tigress, and left with Zhao Xianao.
"emperor."
As soon as the king called the emperor in this tone, Zhao Xian'ao's heart trembled.
Either to ask him for something, or to say something to make him angry.
But Zhao Xianao still asked, "What's the matter?"
"I just suddenly remembered that my white tiger bloodline seems to be more important than your throne, what do you think?"
Zhao Xianao clenched his fists and took a deep breath.
"I don't think so."
The king snapped his fingers again, "Let me do the math with you, you have no heirs, but you still have a younger brother, a nephew, and a niece. I don't count on the eldest princess, but I have only one father. And because your father died, if I had no children, wouldn't the bloodline of this ancient beast be cut off?"
Zhao Xian felt proudly that what he said made sense.
but.
Zhao Xianao turned around and stared at the king affectionately, "Emotions depend on two people maintaining and sacrificing each other, right?"
The king nodded, "I just want to prove that I sacrificed more than you."
Your Majesty will answer, except for Zhao Xianao, nothing has changed.
"Dejin, come here."
Xiaodouzi and Xiaoshunzi are more and more capable now, Zhao Xianao changed their names, their status is different, and they cannot always be called cheap names. The surname is Huang... Zhao Xianao named him Huang Dejin. The king couldn't remember Xiaodouzi's name, but Xiao Shunzi remembered it very firmly.
"I'm going to see Zhu An. If the emperor asks, just say that I went for a walk in the imperial garden."
Xiao Shunzi nodded.
After half a month of marriage, the king was really frightened by Zhao Xianao.
Zhu An is still young, and it stands to reason that she should live with her mother. Due to the special situation of the queen, she lives in the side hall of Kunning Palace with the nanny who takes care of her.

"Slaves see the queen."
"Go down, I'll play with her."
Zhu An just had a full moon, her face was opened a little, her eyes were black and round, her little mouth was pouting up, she was so cute.

"When will she leave?" Wen Sheng asked the king, but Zhao Xianao answered him.
"It's early."
The king suddenly turned his head, "Why are you here?"

"Don't lie down, I will take you to eat delicious food."
Only then did the king laugh, "Then let's go."
Putting down Zhu An, the king placed Wen Sheng under her pillow, "You stay with my sister well."
Wen Sheng, who had eaten dozens of tons of dog food, never thought that he would have to take care of a child.

This place is not as crude as the Beihai Palace, the King thinks it is no worse than the Imperial Palace, on the way, he heard from Zhao Xianao that tigers are kept in captivity here for hunting in the hunting ground.
"I want to see tigers."
Hearing what he said, Zhao Xianao couldn't help but look sideways, "What's there to see?"
"Humph."
"Hum what?"
The king reasoned with him, "Look, if you stay among the tigers all day, will you feel very kind when you see people? I stay with people all day, and it's normal to want to see tigers. How about you?" Isn't it silly to ask what there is to see?"
Zhao Xianao thought about it, it seems that this is the case...
"Then let's go and have a look."
When we arrived at the palace, the king got out of the carriage first, and the feeling was really different. The palace was much cooler than the palace, "There are mountains over there."
Zhao Xian got down from the carriage arrogantly, looked at what he was pointing at, "Well, it's quite cool up there, I'll take you for a stroll later."
The palace is very big, the South China Sea is really as boundless as the sea, connected with the blue sky, there is a gorgeous Jiulong Bridge between the islands in the lake, and there are temples and towers on the mountains in the distance, just like a painting .
"gorgeous……"
"There are many beautiful scenery, I will show you slowly in the future, let's go to have a rest first."
Zhao Xianao took him into Deoksugung Palace, and the people in the palace knew that Zhao Xianao was coming, so they had prepared ice cubes in the room, and it was cold inside the palace.
The king felt like he was in heaven.
"emperor……"
Looking at the king who suddenly burst into tears, Zhao Xianao was a little at a loss, "What's wrong with you?"
The king sighed for a moment, "It's really good to be the emperor."
"..."
When the two are together, the court ladies and eunuchs will voluntarily retreat, so the king said without hesitation, "From today on, I will study hard with you, so that when you die, I will be the emperor, okay. "
Zhao Xianao slapped him on the head, "I want to live until you die first!"
"You hit me again! This is the head of the future emperor!"
"Pa—" Zhao Xian'ao was not polite at all when he hit him, but in a blink of an eye he hugged him and put him on the bed.
The king laughed loudly, and quickly took off all his clothes.
It is rare for him to be so active. Zhao Xianao was a little dazed for a while, but when he came back to his senses, the king had already turned into a tiger, lying on the bed in a shy posture, stretching his short legs with great effort, "Come on ~Happy~"
"..." Can you imagine it?When a man's lower body reacted, the person who made him impulsive turned into a fat tiger covered in flesh all the time, making that obscene gesture and teasing him with that mean tone.
Zhao Xianao knew that when he became a tiger, his skin was rough and his flesh was thick and he was not afraid of pain, so he rushed over and rode on him, hitting his back mercilessly.
"Hey hey hey~ It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt~ I'm mad at you~"
Zhao Xianao was tired from the beating, got off him, went to the side and poured himself a glass of water, "I shouldn't have brought you here, I should have let you heat up in the palace!"
The king has no introspection, "It's hard to cool down, I don't want to be so hot again, wait for winter~"
"Don't talk, I don't want to talk to you now."
"Thick! I knew you were attracted to my beauty, you..." Before the king could finish his words, Zhao Xianao flashed up to him and rubbed his face back and forth.
"Shut up for me!" Zhao Xianao gave him another small hand, and then he got his breath out, "Hurry up and change back, aren't you hungry?"
The king was really hungry, he changed back into a human, put on his clothes, and asked Zhao Xianao, "Have I gained weight?"
Zhao Xianao glanced at him, and said in a strange way, "You can go over it again tonight, and I'll find you a big mirror to take a good look at."
The king doesn't need to take pictures, he just felt that his body has become very heavy, obviously from now on, he has only gained a little weight, but he didn't expect the tiger's appearance to be so much fatter, it is very difficult to curl up like before.
"Hey..." The king sighed heavily, "I can't eat so much in the future."
That's what he said, but Zhao Xianao was very sure that if he gave him a pig, he would be able to chew until only the bones remained.
Since the arrival of the king, those maids and eunuchs have never eaten leftovers.
The main thing is that he doesn't know how hungry or full he is, and he can't stop eating as much as he is given. If Zhao Xianao didn't control his food intake intentionally or unintentionally, he would have already become fat into a ball.
The Xinggong is a place for enjoyment. There are more than 80 ice officials who store ice cubes alone. There are also many ways to eat food and water. In order to know the taste of the king, Xinggong has prepared ten kinds of drinks for him. Apricot crisp drink, ginger honey water, coconut water, sugarcane juice, etc., are all drinks to relieve the heat. As for the food, it is even fresher, such as emerald green bean cake, steamed goldfish dumplings, glazed beads, rouge cold cake, The king looked dazzled.
He then questioned Zhao Xianao, "I have never eaten many of these."
Zhao Xianao imitated him, "Hmph."
"What are you humming?"
"I don't have any money, it's so expensive, it's nice to eat once in a while."
"..."
Zhao Xianao stared at him, "Why do you have that expression? You are lucky that we are still rich, you know, during my father's reign, for a period of time because of lack of money, the food was similar to that of ordinary people's homes."
After hearing this, the king said casually, "Then my father is really miserable."
"your dad?"
"...Yes, isn't your father my father?"
Zhao Xianao moved the chair and moved closer to him, "Don't fool me, tell the truth."
The king was shocked, "You can see this?"
"Don't you claim to be a descendant of the white tiger? Is it your character to recognize your father casually? Tell me, what does General Tiger have to do with you?"
The king was shocked again, "You can guess this!"
In fact, Zhao Xianao didn't guess it, he just tried it casually, "So, say what needs to be said."
The king can only honestly explain to him, "Well...my father has been with many tigresses, and gave birth to many cubs...but my brothers and sisters should have died, and then I don't know why, and you Royal father met, and then became General Tiger, once your royal father was injured and was about to die, he saved your royal father with a blood deed... that's it."
"So that's what happened..." Zhao Xianao wasn't too surprised, and only said two words, "Fate."
"I also feel very destined."
"Then why didn't you tell me before?"
The king looked at him very sincerely, "It's not a big deal, I forgot, really."
From Zhao Xianao's point of view, this is really not a big deal, "Eat it, try this rouge cold cake."
"En!" The king put the rouge cold cake into his mouth, sweet and sour, icy cold, the refreshing comfort spread in his body, the king couldn't help but squinted his eyes.
"Is it tasty?"
"Delicious, is this the taste of rouge? No wonder the rouge I gave Aunt Hui Xin last time is gone, it must have been stolen and eaten!" The king is still very angry when he thinks of this matter.
Zhao Xianao remained silent.
After lunch, Zhao Xianao took the king to see the tiger.
The tiger looked very ferocious, but it was curled up in the cage and remained motionless on this hot day, with flies all over its body.
When the king saw that it was a tigress, he felt pity immediately, "Why are you treating her like this, and why don't you give her a bath?"
Little girl, she should be pretty.
"Tell me, how do you wash it?" Zhao Xianao held back and didn't say, do you think any tiger is like you, holding a knife under the neck and letting them do whatever they want, they also have a temper and dignity .
The king patted his chest, "I'll wash her."
Zhao Xianao looked up at him, "Can I bathe the woman?"
"Of course not."
Zhao Xian smiled proudly, "Same reason."
The king just used this reason to overwhelm him this morning.
"That's different. Humans are naked in the shower, but we tigers have hair in the shower~" the king said, shaking his buttocks twice.
"Then you can ask her if she wants you to wash it."
The king nodded, squatted down against the cage, looked at the tigress inside, and said softly, "Is it hot, do you want to take a bath?"
The tigress, like the leopard named Jieao, had been trained by a beast trainer, but she hadn't developed her wits and had been locked in a cage for a long time. She would smell a strange smell and pounce on it, screaming louder than her. The king is much fiercer.
The king trembled from fright, and squatted down on the ground.
Awkward……
Zhao Xian'ao suppressed his smile, walked over and pulled her up, "Don't bother her, and go to the South China Sea with me?"
The king nodded, glanced at the tigress, and left with Zhao Xianao.
"emperor."
As soon as the king called the emperor in this tone, Zhao Xian'ao's heart trembled.
Either to ask him for something, or to say something to make him angry.
But Zhao Xianao still asked, "What's the matter?"
"I just suddenly remembered that my white tiger bloodline seems to be more important than your throne, what do you think?"
Zhao Xianao clenched his fists and took a deep breath.
"I don't think so."
The king snapped his fingers again, "Let me do the math with you, you have no heirs, but you still have a younger brother, a nephew, and a niece. I don't count on the eldest princess, but I have only one father. And because your father died, if I had no children, wouldn't the bloodline of this ancient beast be cut off?"
Zhao Xian felt proudly that what he said made sense.
but.
Zhao Xianao turned around and stared at the king affectionately, "Emotions depend on two people maintaining and sacrificing each other, right?"
The king nodded, "I just want to prove that I sacrificed more than you."
