there is a king in the palace

Since the title of male queen, the lives of the people have become better and better. In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed since reforms were made, and the people have their own land. Beggars are arranged to have their own errands.

The flourishing age of the Song Dynasty is exactly what the national teacher said.

In the past ten years, many interesting things have happened in the royal family. For example, King Duan, who has never been married, is baffled by the common people. The boy wears a half mask all the year round, and the exposed half of his face is very similar to that of King Duan.

The common people figured it out and understood that it might be that King Duan had a child before the emperor, but as a prince, it is always bad to have a child before the emperor, not to mention that King Duan and the emperor always compare this to that.

That's really comparing.

Not long after King Duan's biological son came back from home, the emperor, who had no crown prince or prince, recognized a godson who was also at such an age. The emperor treated him no worse than Princess Yongle, almost treating him like a prince. No matter what sacrifices to heaven, this godson is brought with him.

There are rumors that the godson of the emperor is actually his own son, and some people say that he once saw this prince when he was offering sacrifices to heaven. He looked very similar to the queen, and he might be the queen's son.

The common people are confused and don't understand at all. Of course, it has nothing to do with them. As long as they live well, they don't bother to care about the emperor tearing down the palace. If you do your own thing, the common people will take it as a pleasure. As for the future, sit down

No, it was snowing heavily, the emperor and empress had a snowball fight in the palace with the eunuchs and maids, and the laughter in the palace could be heard.

"Don't hit Zhu An!" Ten years have passed, and his voice has the clarity of a teenager.

Zhao Xianao held the snowball and threw it high, just hitting the king's head, "Then I will hit you."

"Father is bad!" Ten-year-old Zhu An has grown into a big girl. She is wearing a pink princess palace dress and a plum blossom cloak. She is pulling the cloak to block in front of the king. look.

The king was so moved that he wanted to cry, he hugged Zhu An, "An An! I won't let them bully you!"

"..." Zhao Xianao sighed, sat aside, turned his head and said to Wen Sheng next to him, "Did you see that?"

Ten-year-old Wen Sheng, his appearance is five points similar to the great king Zhao Xian'ao, with peach blossom eyes, small canine teeth, and some baby fat on his cheeks, people in the palace always feel weird when they see him.

"I saw two fools." Wen Sheng said so.

"That's what you said," Zhao Xianao agreed, and conveyed this sentence to the two fools.

Zhu An has often played with the king since the day he remembered, and his brain circuit is almost the same as that of the king. Sometimes the king tells a joke that he thinks is funny, and only Zhu An can laugh.

Although theoretically they are all ten-year-old children, Wen Sheng has put a lot of things into his mind in the past ten years, which can be seen from the fact that Zhao Xianao often discussed reforms with him.

Wen Sheng said that the king and Zhu An were fools, and they couldn't say a word except to throw the snowball over to vent their anger.

Zhao Xianao played with them outside for a while, feeling a little cold, "Yuan Huan."

"Here we come~" The king slid forward, "Going back to the house?"

"Well, it's too cold outside."

The king patted Wen Sheng on the head, "Play well with my sister."

Wen Sheng nodded in agreement.

Although he said that he only likes his father's mother now, but whether it is the king or Zhu An, he treats him like a family member.

Every day he came out of that spirit box, he was full of gratitude.

"Your Majesty, wait for me~" Ten years have changed a lot, but the king is still the same as ten years ago, "Why are you walking so fast?"

"I'm cold." The 30-year-old Zhao Xianao was very different.

He has learned to take care of himself. Before going to bed at night, he has to smear the face cream and ointment used by women. When the weather is cold, he needs to add clothes. I am in good health, but I want to love myself like an 80-year-old man.

Now, he is the only emperor in history who has not had any problems at the age of 30.

The king hugged his neck and let him drag him away, "It won't be cold if you hug him."

"You are so heavy..." Zhao Xianao laughed, "Didn't you say to eat less?"

"I haven't eaten much these days, really."

Some time ago, Xiao Hei from the Beast King's Pavilion suffered from a serious illness due to being overweight, and was rescued with great difficulty. Now he is sent back to the Red Maple Paddock. Not only can he not eat honey, but he has to chase leopards in the snow every day to lose weight , Tired like a dog.

The king didn't want to be fat, so he finally knew how to control himself when eating, but he didn't lose much weight.

When can I lose some weight?

The king thought, he couldn't lose weight.

"Do you want to eat?" Zhao Xianao is always like this, how can he lose weight.

The king pushed away the chestnut cake he handed over, shook his head, "I won't eat it."

"It's okay, just one bite, how much meat can grow." Zhao Xianao said so, and stuffed the chestnut cake into his mouth, "Is it sweet?"

"Sweet~"

"Another piece?"

"Hey...then have another piece."

Maybe it's because he's getting older, Zhao Xian'ao's attitude towards the king is more gentle now, he doesn't want to always reach out to hit him like before, only once or twice a year, it's also when he gets angry.

Another five years passed in a blink of an eye. On the day of the new year, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty entered the palace to celebrate the new year as usual. The king and Zhao Xianao sat side by side on the top seat. Xianao said that he can move, and he will move.

But today, sitting next to him is Zhu An.

Zhu An has reached the age of choosing a son-in-law. This time, the emperor specially ordered the ministers to bring all the men of the right age into the palace to give the princess a look. If they like it, they can get in touch.

As the only Princess of Yongle in the Great Song Dynasty, Zhu An's status is extraordinary, even the selection of her son-in-law is also different. She is sitting beside the king, looking down, the left side is full of young talents from Chang'an, all of them have good looks , This will be silent and let her look at it.

At such a young age, Princess Yongle already has the air of a princess's grace, and all the men of the right age dare not look up at her.

The king helped him with his staff, and said in a low voice, "Did you see that one, the one in blue, I think this one is good."

Zhu An glanced lightly, "It's a bit ugly."

"Ugly, but kind."

"No, I want to be good-looking and kind."

The king chuckled, "Are you talking about me?"

Taking advantage of the civil and military officials not paying attention, Zhao Xianao slapped him with a slap.

The king was stunned for a moment, turned his head in a daze, and asked puzzledly, "Why did you hit me?"

Wen Sheng sat beside Zhao Xianao, helping to explain, "You are stupid."

Zhu An covered her lips and laughed, and suddenly noticed King Duan sitting on the right, she tugged on the sleeve of the king, and the king turned his head back again, "What's wrong?"

"Didn't Prince Duan have a son? Why hasn't he brought him into the palace for so many years?"

"You mean Zhao Chaoan?"

"Yeah, I haven't seen it yet."

The king cleared his throat, "It's too ugly, that child is disfigured, and the upper half of his face can't be seen."

"That's it... how pitiful..."

"It's quite pitiful...how about I take you to Duanwang's mansion to visit someday..."

Zhao Xianao next to him slapped him on the back of the head again.

The king turned his head abruptly, "What are you doing?"

Zhao Xianao kept smiling, picked up his wine glass and took a sip, "It's nothing, just stop talking."

"Don't let me talk, hum." The king was dissatisfied, but he also heard Zhao Xianao shut his mouth.

He looked at Duan Wang who was sitting below. Although he was Zhao Xianao's younger brother, he looked much bigger than Zhao Xianao. Xianao, but the king knew that he was looking at Zhu An.

The king glared at him, and King Duan silently looked away.

Zhao Xianao has always been a person who distinguishes rewards and punishments, and the king's performance like this was praised, "Well done."

Da Dynasty smiled brightly, as if there were stars in the sky hidden in his eyes.

The courtiers below all lowered their heads, with mixed feelings in their hearts.

Since the establishment of the queen, they can see the queen every year at this time. 15 years ago, the queen sat on it and laughed like this. Even Princess Yongle has already begun to choose a son-in-law, and the queen is still the same as before.

Really...

Years later, Princess Yongle was engaged to the son of Shaoqing in Dali Temple. After the renovation of Princess May Mansion was completed and the weather became warmer, the two married.

The princess is about to get married, which means that the emperor's grandson will be born, and the ministers finally start to worry about the emperor's heirs, and the memorials fly like winter snowflakes into the imperial study.

Zhao Xianao turned a blind eye to this.

The ministers discussed it in private and came to a terrible result.

At the annual banquet that year when the male empress was born, the concubines disappeared without a trace, and there was no news that any concubine was happy. On the contrary, the relationship between the emperor and the empress became better and better.

What does this mean, the emperor is bent!

Or, there is some hidden disease, no matter which point is a blow to the ministers.

In other words, the throne will eventually fall into the hands of that godson!

In fact, they don't hate Wen Sheng either, but Wen Sheng looks like a queen. They have always guessed that Wen Sheng is the queen's son. As far as his name is concerned, Wen Sheng is not as good as Zhu An. The Zhao family's world cannot fall to outsiders. hand!

As for Prince Duan... He doesn't even have a concubine, how can such a disfigured son inherit the throne.

Just as the ministers were about to ask for orders together, asking the emperor to consider the heirs of the selected daughter Yanmian for Jiangshan Sheji, Zhao Xianao announced that Feng Wensheng would be the crown prince and heir of the country.

The big families who were loyal to the Zhao family were dumbfounded, and they knelt on the ground for a moment, "Think twice, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, how could the Zhao Family Jiangshan fall into the hands of others!"

"Your Majesty, think about the spirit of the late emperor! You can't do this!"

Seeing them like this, Zhao Xianao smiled calmly, "I have made up my mind, so there is no need to say more."

The young and frivolous dog emperor seemed to appear again. He said one is one, and two is two. No one can veto it, and there is no room for negotiation.

Zhao Xianao looked at Wen Sheng standing below who looked more and more like him and the king, and laughed out loud.

This is Wen Sheng's face, it is not an illusion. He has always maintained the appearance of a baby since he was the magic weapon of the Star King of the Heavenly Court. He didn't know what he should look like. Until now, he has his own face, which is in his heart. , he should grow up like this.

Zhao Xianao felt that perhaps this was fate.

After retreating from the imperial court, Zhao Xianao took Wen Sheng to the Imperial Study Room, halfway there, Wen Sheng stopped suddenly, "Father Emperor."

"what happened?"

"Do you really think I can be a prince?"

Zhao Xianao gave Xiao Douzi and Xiao Shunzi backed away with a look, and he asked Wen Sheng with a smile in his eyes, "Why not?"

Wen Sheng lowered his head, "I'm just a magic weapon."

He has low self-esteem, even though he was once in the Heavenly Court, in Wen Sheng's heart, he is just a gadget of the Ascendent Xingjun. After the Heavenly Court fell, he became a magic weapon without an owner. He couldn't make the master happy with the appearance of others, so that he was locked in the spirit box for tens of thousands of years. Until today, those vague memories reappeared in his mind, making Wen Sheng even more depressed.

Zhao Xianao embraced his shoulders and treated him like his father and emperor treated him back then, "You are my son, the crown prince, and the future emperor. This is not a matter of course. It’s all about making soup with Meng Po. Look at my queen, he has never regarded himself as a tiger.”

Wen Sheng pondered for a long time, then laughed, "Well... your queen took my sister to Duanwang's residence."

Zhao Xianao has gone through too many storms and waves, this trivial matter still can't shock him, "When?"

"It may have come now."

As far as Zhao Xianao knows, the king has been secretly sending letters to Jiang Yanyu all these years, talking about Zhu An. After the New Year's banquet, the king mentioned to him that Zhu An is going to get married, so it's better to let her To meet Jiang Yanyu, the mother and daughter had never met before.

Zhao Xianao has been blocking her all the time, but it's not just because he doesn't want the daughter he has raised for so many years to see her biological mother.

"This idiot..." Zhao Xianao sighed.

Little Fat Tiger's intelligence is always far behind in these sophistication.

Wen Sheng seconded, "It's the father's fault."

It's the son's fault that he doesn't teach his father, the queen is stupid, and the emperor's fault.

Zhao Xianao still sighed.

He was indeed wrong. Back then, he kept Zhu An in the palace. On the one hand, it was because the king really liked children and wanted to keep one as a companion for the king. Meimei's husband and wife made trouble, making them miss their daughter in the palace all the time, and when her daughter grew up, Jiang Yanyu would definitely make Jiang Yanyu hide in bed and cry.

But these are all just inexplicable bad intentions produced by self-esteem when he was young. Over the years, he has watched Wen Sheng and Zhu An grow up, and he has also experienced the feeling of being a parent, so now he regrets it a bit .

"Are we really going to Prince Duan's mansion?" Zhu An was a little at a loss. His father had always disliked Prince Duan, even Prince Duan's son was not allowed to enter the palace, and she was not allowed to get too close to Prince Duan. Now the king took him to Duanwang's mansion, she was afraid that her father would be angry.

"Really, don't worry about your father, he is too narrow-minded."

Zhu An had also heard that King Duan once fought for the throne with her father, and she also felt that she was a little narrow-minded because of such an old thing, "Father really shouldn't take it so seriously when he is defeated by his subordinates."

The king who was drinking tea was choked.

Zhu An hurriedly patted him on the back, "Are you all right?"

"It's all right...don't say that, King Duan is also your uncle anyway, be more polite when you see them later." The king was referring to them, including the heirs of King Duan's family.

"I see, by the way, does my brother wear a mask at home? Is he ugly? I'm afraid it will scare me."

The king also began to regret it.

Maybe Zhu An should not be waiting for him, but Jiang Yanyu kept begging him in the letter to him, and he really couldn't bear it...

There is no other way, it has arrived.

Zhao Xianao had already agreed with Jiang Yanyu in the letter that he would bring Zhu An here today, so Jiang Yanyu stayed up all night in excitement, cleaned up the mansion, and dressed himself very dignifiedly and kindly. He took the maids and guarded the door, waiting for the king to bring Zhu An.

Zhu An saw her as soon as she got off the carriage.

frown.

As the only princess of Song Dynasty, her status is extremely noble, but now Jiang Yanyu is just a concubine of Duan Wang, the kind of shameful concubine.

Seeing her frown, Jiang Yanyu didn't know what to do.

The king originally wanted to catch up with Jiang Yanyu, and the two have not seen each other for many years, but now is not the time, "Where is Chaoan?"

"He's practicing martial arts, let's go in first." Jiang Yanyu had never entertained guests in her life, and now she couldn't speak smoothly.

Zhu An thought, no wonder she can only be a concubine.

Entering the Duanwang mansion, the king heard the sound of weapons colliding. After entering a door, he saw a young man who was about the same age as Wen Sheng wearing a half silver mask, learning kung fu with a tall martial artist. Sharp, the whole person... looked a little cold and gloomy.

The king looked at him, turned to Jiang Yanyu and said, "It's very similar to King Duan."

"It's... like his father, he doesn't like to smile very much." Jiang Yanyu called Chaoan, "Chaoan, take a break and see who's coming."

Chao An quickly glanced this way, unmoved.

Zhu An's face sank, full of displeasure.

She took the initiative to come, it was condescending, but what kind of treatment is she getting now!

Jiang Yanyu noticed that her daughter was upset, and hurriedly explained, "Chao'an can only rest after practicing martial arts. Come in, I have prepared breakfast."

The king grinned, "I happen to be hungry, Zhu An, let's go, eat first, your uncle will be back soon."

Zhu An hesitated, "Don't you have to wait for Uncle Huang to come back?"

"No need, princess... eat first if you are hungry, no need to wait, your uncle must be very happy to see you coming." Hearing that Zhu An was still thinking about King Duan, Jiang Yanyu smiled brightly, Although she is not as beautiful as before, she is still very beautiful.

Only then did Zhu An look at her carefully.

Strange...why does this person's eyebrows look so familiar.

Bystanders can see that Zhu An's eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Jiang Yanyu's, and his chin and mouth are like Duan Wang, but the lower half of Duan Wang's face is also very similar to Zhao Xianao. The mouth is like Zhao Xianao and proud of it.

"Let's go, weren't you hungry just now in the carriage?"

Zhu An and the king are friends, and there are no rules between them, but Zhu An still listens to the king, "Okay..."

She followed the king into the lobby, and there were sixteen dishes on an octagonal table. Zhu An was stunned, "Have this for breakfast in Duan Wang's mansion? It's a luxury."

It's really time for his father to come and see what life is like in the palace.

"Oh, it's not for entertaining the two of us. You talk a lot today." The king reprimanded Zhu An, but Jiang Yanyu was still not happy, she smiled and glanced at the king, "The princess is still young, and she speaks like a child, don't do this Tell her."

This made Zhu An's dissatisfaction reach the peak. It's okay to be in the palace. The king doesn't care about these things, but now in Duanwang's mansion, Zhu An glared at Jiang Yanyu, "He is the queen of the Song Dynasty, so it's fine if you don't bow down." , how dare you use that look..."

Before Zhu An finished speaking, the king covered his mouth and pressed him on the stool, "Eat, eat, what do you know?"

"What's wrong with me!" Zhu An was extremely wronged, but she was protecting the king.

"You're fine, eat and eat, I beg you, ancestor." The king regrets it very much now, he shouldn't have brought Zhu An here in a moment of softness, and looking at it now, his emperor is really good at predicting things, he should listen to the emperor. right. "

"It's okay... I'll feed the princess..." Jiang Yanyu turned around and wiped away a tear from the corner of her eye.

This is all her retribution... I can't blame others.

The king sighed, feeling a terrible headache.

Jiang Yanyu still understood him, and put a piece of meat into his bowl, "Queen, eat more."

The king immediately laughed.

Zhu An snorted.

At this time, Chao An came in, called Jiang Yanyu's mother, stared at Zhu An for a while, and sat down beside him.

Compared with Chao An, Wen Sheng is a good brother of 24 filial piety, and he almost treats Zhu An like a daughter. Compared with him now, Zhu An is completely disappointed in this brother who has never met.

Forget it, for the sake of the injury on his face, don't bother with him.

Thinking of this, Zhu An took the initiative to talk to him, "Brother is really good at kung fu."

After all, they are brothers and sisters, even if he has to wear a mask all his life because of her, Chaoan can't help but be angry with her at this moment, "Shang Ke."

This way of speaking is very familiar to the king, it is almost the same as that of Duan Wang Yimao back then, but Zhu An is not very used to it, she thinks it is because she does not want to talk to her.

Zhu An got up, "I suddenly remembered that my father said that he would come to me again after the court, and I have to go back."

"Hey..." Before the king could respond, she had already walked out.

Jiang Yanyu hurried to stop her, "Princess, the prince will be back soon, you should wait."

Zhu An frowned at her, "Why do you stop this princess, go away."

The king looked at Chao'an who stood up abruptly, and realized that he might have gotten into trouble.

what to do?Now secretly going back to the palace, saying that Zhu An came by himself, can the emperor believe it?
