Crossing should also be very low-key

Xu Lichen just came back from the palace.

He would find a few days every month to go back to the palace to meet the emperor's younger brother who was a bit overly dependent on him, his father who abdicated five years ago, and his father's emotionally overflowing homosexual.

In fact, according to common sense, he, the eldest son, should succeed to the throne, but when he was a child studying emperors, he would be interrupted and corrected by the young man who was seven years older than him, telling him to accept all sentient beings, Inclusive of everything.Over time, his theory of imperialism was mixed with compassion that shouldn't be there.When I grew up, I knew that I was not suitable to be an emperor.

Five years ago, in order to keep an eye on the lover whose catchphrase was "Because it's so pitiful", his father abdicated at the age of 35 and passed the throne to his younger brother.Although his younger brother is not calmer and smarter than him, he at least understands the decisiveness and cruelty that a king of a country should have.However, the younger brother, who was only 14 years old at the time, was still a little worried about inheriting the throne, so he begged his father to let his elder brother help him.

To this day, although he no longer needs to go to the imperial study to discuss state affairs with the emperor every day, but for some difficult decisions, the emperor will still send someone to send the memorial to him directly.

Fortunately, the father only gave birth to their two brothers, which avoided the chaos of the former royal family brothers fighting each other and seizing the throne.

This probably has something to do with the father's preference for masculinity!In the ten years since his father reigned, only two concubines have been pregnant, so even though he and his younger brother have different mothers, their relationship is very harmonious.

And he seems to have inherited his father's preference for men.Although it is not unresponsive to women, I still feel that conquering a man and letting them moan, gasp, and beg for mercy under him is more satisfying for him.

"My lord, do you want to call someone to accompany you to bed?" The expressionless butler asked the lord, who was leaning on the back of the chair and pretending to be sleeping.He knew that after the prince came back from the palace, he would definitely call a male favorite over. He wondered if it was because of the relationship stimulated by the Supreme Emperor and that kind-hearted young man.

Xu Lichen replied yes, thinking about who to call today.In the past, at times like this, he always summoned Zhang Xiaoyue to accompany him.Zhang Xiaoyue is good-looking, well-spoken, responsive, with good body sensitivity and fit, and knows how to deal with advances and retreats. He is currently his favorite male favorite.

But at this moment, another very ordinary face appeared in his mind.

"Chen Ying, how is that guy doing?"

"My lord, Mr. Li has been staying in the yard every day these days, and has not done anything." Chen Ying, who came back from the palace with the lord, had already gone to collect information when he returned to the mansion, in case of emergencies.These days, apart from the things that were going on all the time, the prince rarely asked him to monitor and investigate a certain person, so he knew who the guy the prince was talking about without asking.

"So, have you found out his background?"

"I checked, it is true that he came from Li Dayong's house. I asked some servants of the Li family, and the appearance they described was indeed in line with Mr. Li's appearance."

"No one in the Li family has ever suspected him?"

According to Chen Ying's previous observations, Li Qingjiu is reserved and introverted. When he sees other male favorites, he will always show a retreating attitude. Even if he is ridiculed and teased, he doesn't care. He always laughs it off and lives leisurely every day .

In addition, he doesn't wear makeup or dress up, and he dresses up like his servant every day. At most, the fabric of the clothes is better. Take it to heart.When others were trying their best to attract Wang Ye's attention and make him think of them, that Li Qingjiu was trying his best to hide himself, trying his best to make himself disappear... It's a pity that he didn't disappear fast enough one afternoon.

Chen Ying also said that he usually does not fully open his eyelids, deliberately showing a listless and sleepy look in front of others, so that other male favorites can reduce their hostility towards him, in exchange for a peaceful and leisurely life.How could such a person be a 16-year-old boy who was secretly raised in the rice warehouse when he was a child, and treated as a slave all these years?

This Li Qingjiu is definitely not a simple character, what's more, this Li Qingjiu might not be Li Qingjiu.

"Did anything strange happen on the way here?" Xu Lichen speculated that although he did come from Li's house, he might have been transferred halfway.After all, there are more than a dozen concubines who came into his palace with various purposes to be concubines and male favourites, and the others are still under investigation.

"I checked this too. Li Dayong was worried that something would happen to his son again, so Mr. Li was bound all the way here. The person who brought him also said that the journey was smooth and nothing strange happened."

"If he's a master, it's easy to change his appearance. Bring his family over another day to recognize him."

"Yes!" Although I think that young master is quite interesting, but if you come with bad intentions, you still have to grasp it as soon as possible like the previous wives and young masters.At that time, whether to use it or eradicate it will depend on the prince's mood.

"My lord," the butler suddenly thought of something, so he interjected, "When Mr. Li was brought here, the people accompanying him told me that Mr. Li accidentally fell into the water before leaving home, choked his brain, and woke up. I forgot how to write, and my personality has become different from before.”

"Chen Ying, can he not write?" Wang Ye asked.

"No, Mr. Li seems to know a lot of characters, although the handwriting looks like he just started learning to write recently." Chen Ying recalled a few rectangular pieces of paper that one of the hidden guards brought back to him, on which was written Thief , Assassin, Merchant, General, Juggler, King, Builder and Abbot.I do not know what that means?

"My subordinates speculate that since Li Qingjiu was raised as a slave, he should be illiterate. But Li Dayong is afraid that the prince will blame him if he wants to replace Li Qingfang temporarily." In fact, the housekeeper is also very curious about this Li Qingfang. Young Master Li's identity as Qingjiu.

When every wife and son first entered the palace, as the housekeeper, I would say the same thing to them: "We have only one rule here: those who do not obey the prince's order will die." 』When those people heard this sentence, some were terrified, some felt guilty, and some answered yes with a smile.However, the young man looked at him without any reaction, his indifferent expression seemed as if he just said "chicken for dinner today", which made him very impressed.

"Well, let me know when his family is here." Xu Lichen became more and more interested in this Li Qingjiu, and he was looking forward to whether that Li Qingjiu's calm expression would collapse when he saw the Li family appear. untie. "Keep watching him, don't startle him. If he has contact with anyone, let me know right away."

"Yes!" Speaking of this, Chen Ying remembered something. "My lord, Mr. Zhang Xiaoyue visited Mr. Li a few days ago."

"Oh?"

He knew that male pets would visit each other, in the name of connecting with each other, but in fact they were exploring each other's reality.As for the favored male favorite, of course everyone would want to ask him about the prince's preferences, or ask him for tips on pleasing the prince, so Zhang Xiaoyue's place is full of people every day, and he is also very happy to deal with these princes.

As for visiting others in person, as far as he knew, usually after he doted on a new young master, Zhang Xiaoyue would go to see that young master, as if to make sure that the other party would pose a threat to him.

He is basically not interested in the open and secret fights between these male favorites and concubines, as long as nothing big happens.But it was about that guy, he was a little interested, although it probably turned out that Li Qingjiu humbly listened to Zhang Xiaoyue's accusations and ridicule, "not daring" to disobey and so on.

"Then?"

"The two young masters... had a great chat! Before Mr. Zhang left, he seemed to have received something from Mr. Li."

Have fun talking?

Before I saw him, I hid, but on the day of bedtime, I looked like a girl who was forced to submit. From the beginning to the end, there was no joyful expression or flattering words. Of course, I didn’t help him get dressed afterwards, just A look of relief that "it's finally over".Thanks to his understanding that it was the first time for him, he slowed down the speed of venting, and it took a long time to release it.

Doesn't he dislike his status as a male favorite?She avoids him so much and treats him like a snake, but she talks happily with his most favored son?Send something?What's the point!

"What to send?"

"Looks like a cushion and some food."

"cushion?"

"Yes. Mr. Li originally sat by himself, but as soon as Mr. Zhang came, he gave him the cushion enthusiastically. It seems that he said something that Mr. Zhang needs more." Chen Ying added in a timely manner.

"..."

"My lord, who is the son who will accompany you tonight..." the butler asked very considerately at this moment.

"...Li, Qing, Jiu!"

"Yes!"
