In the winter of this year, Yingzhou was taken down by Xi Xiuyuan.

Du Tinglong's army broke up and fled further south. They would rob the people along the way. These rebels had to deal with them. Xi Xiuyuan led his soldiers and horses in hot pursuit.

In previous years, King Cheng celebrated the New Year with Xi Xiuyuan. Last year, he thought that Xi Chi would also come back, so that the family could get together happily.As a result, in the early winter of last year, Xichi and Xi Xiuyuan went south together to quell the chaos, and they have not returned this year.

On New Year's Eve, King Cheng felt that he was quite lonely. The children were not there, and he didn't know how they celebrated the New Year in the army.

As a result, someone came to the palace.

Originally, Zheng Ru was the most favored eunuch in front of Zhong Ye. The civil and military courts of the whole dynasty gave Eunuch Zheng a bit of face. These few didn't see Zheng Ru. Everyone thought that Zheng Ru had committed a crime and was dealt with. Unexpectedly, Zheng Ru came out again I have done something for Zhong Ye.

Compared with before, Zheng Ru was a little less arrogant. He said to King Cheng: "The emperor said that your two sons are fighting outside, and it is not good to watch the night alone. It just so happens that the emperor has been free these two days. You Let's go to the palace to watch the new year with the emperor, play chess and chat."

King Cheng's eyes lit up instantly.

He knew that he was a favored minister, but he never thought that he would be able to spend this year with the emperor after being favored to such an extent.

Those old men in the cabinet who said it must be jealous of him again.

King Cheng was very happy, and he didn't think about his son in an instant: "Okay, I pack up and go to the palace."

He waved his hand and said to his concubine: "You all go back."

Before entering the Jinhua Hall, King Cheng was still a little cautious. Ambergris was burning in the hall, and it was as warm as spring everywhere. The eunuch took the cloak around him from King Cheng's hand: "The emperor is inside, Your Highness King Cheng, please go in."

King Cheng stepped forward.

Anyway, he still has a concubine, and there are no concubines in the emperor's harem.

In fact, King Cheng knew in his heart that most of the time he was called before the emperor was not to keep the old age, but because of court affairs.The Ministry of Households and the King of Chen obeyed Yin and Yang, and on the surface they were respectful and respectful to the emperor, but in fact they violated the emperor's wishes when they were executed. This kind of thing happened many times.

The Xi family was favored recently, Xi Xiuyuan was fighting in front, and the soldiers and horses had to be supplied with money and food. The Ministry of Households made it difficult for Xi Xiuyuan several times, and the food and pay were almost cut off several times. King Cheng knew about this.

But Uncle Chen Wang has a noble status, he can only open one eye and close the other eye, it's okay to make jokes in normal times, but he is very careful when it comes to power struggles.

If Xi Xiuyuan's guess is correct, the emperor should use himself to deal with the household department, using himself as a knife.

When he entered, Zhong Ye was looking at the painting. The painting had already been completed, and there was absolutely no imperfection to be picked out.

In the painting, the young man in white is smiling, and Xi Xiuyuan took a quick look, because Zhong Ye put away the painting next.

He always felt that the boy in this painting looked like Xi Chi.

But there are so many people who like to wear white clothes, and there are so many good-looking ones, King Cheng said that he looked like my son if he didn't like seeing one.

After saluting to Zhong Ye, he asked, "Who is the boy in the painting just now?"

——Looks like my son.

Zhong Ye said casually: "This is the younger brother of my mother's compatriots. He sheds the same blood as me, and he is my closest person."

King Cheng disrespectfully opened his eyes wide to look at Zhong Ye: "This—"

If King Cheng's memory hadn't gone wrong, Concubine Sheng had only given birth to a son, Zhong Ye, and nothing else. Moreover, Concubine Sheng had died long ago, and subsequent rebirth would be impossible.

Empress Dowager Sheng is Concubine Sheng's elder sister, she gave birth to Emperor Ai, but Emperor Ai is Zhong Ye's elder brother.

Could it be that there are many secrets in the palace that he doesn't know?

Zheng Ru knew that the emperor was talking nonsense with his eyes open, and the emperor would say something unbelievable in a calm and calm tone.

If someone else does this, Zheng Ru thinks that person is a lunatic, but the emperor does this... that's perfectly normal.

He didn't want to remind King Cheng, so he coughed lightly: "The food and wine are all ready, Your Majesty, you haven't had dinner yet, let His Highness King Cheng serve you some?"

Zhong Ye is not a extravagant emperor, he has been used to extravagant daily life since he was a child, and he doesn't have much pursuit of these, and his usual meals are very simple.But today's New Year's Eve, the imperial dining room cannot be the same as usual, so the New Year's Eve dinner is very rich, and there are dozens of courses.

King Cheng regretted why he didn't come here on an empty stomach.

He kept pondering over the portrait just now. It was very possible that he could grow up so big and be drawn by Zhong Ye. "I have never heard of this little prince before. Is he raised in the deep palace?"

"No." Zhong Ye seldom mentioned Xi Chi to others, knowing that not many people liked him, but today, for some unknown reason, Zhong Ye and King Cheng brought up this matter.King Cheng is a smart old fox, he knows what to say and what not to say, "I only saw him last year, I know where he came from, but I don't know where he is going."

King Cheng felt that it was a bit difficult to talk to the emperor tonight.

Obviously I can understand every word, but I don't understand it together.

"Oh, so that's the case." Cheng Wang racked his brains to answer the question, "If the emperor misses you, the little prince will definitely come back."

"But, I don't want to make him a prince," Zhong Ye said calmly, "I want to make him a queen."

King Cheng just bit his elbow, and the moment the emperor finished his sentence, he was almost choked to death by his elbow.

Zhong Ye said: "Earlier, Xi Aiqing said, 'What the emperor likes to do, what the emperor does is right, and this king listens to the emperor'. Is this really true?"

King Cheng took a sip of water and washed the things down.

He wanted to cry without tears.

No wonder the emperor doesn't draft drafts to open up the harem, and he doesn't even establish a queen. It turns out that the emperor loves men, and the man he loves is his own brother!

Cheng Wangguang knew that the royal family was very chaotic, and some emperors loved extraordinary things. When the emperor became more powerful, he also became more courageous, and dared to do it to anyone.Hearing the emperor speak in a calm tone right now, King Cheng was still extremely shocked in his heart.

However, King Cheng is not a stubborn old man. He is not good at masculinity and hates masculinity, but he can't stop the emperor from doing this.

Whether the emperor wants to kiss his younger brother or his younger sister, these have nothing to do with him.

King Cheng would not point fingers at matters that had nothing to do with him: "Of course, everything I receive from you is given by the emperor. The emperor's kindness is vast, so I will of course listen to the emperor."

Zhong Ye turned the jade cup in his hand, and he smiled coldly: "It's meaningless for me to tell you these things, some things have been hidden in my heart for too long, and I just want to say them."

King Cheng understood that if King Cheng was holding such a big secret in his heart, such as falling in love with his own son and younger brother, he might want to find someone to talk about it.

Cheng Wang said: "Don't worry, the emperor, I will not tell anyone, I will definitely keep my mouth shut."

Zhong Ye looked at King Cheng's head, he would kill anyone who couldn't keep his word.

After that, the two ate in silence.

King Cheng could not accept masculinity in the past, but the emperor loved men, and even loved his own brother, so he felt that there was nothing he could not bear.

However, Xi Xiuyuan and Xi Chi were not married, both of them were young and handsome, Cheng Wang was worried that Xi Xiuyuan would also fall in love with his younger brother.

After all, Chi Chi is so good-looking.

The only thing that King Cheng was lucky about was that Xi Xiuyuan was adopted and had no blood relationship with Xi Chi.

No - why did he get more and more crooked the more he thought about it!

The emperor doesn't understand ethics, but Xi Xiuyuan is a good boy, and Xi Xiuyuan secretly told Cheng Wang that he liked a certain big sister when he was a child.

"Ah!"

Thousands of miles away, Xi Xiuyuan suddenly sneezed.

He said to Xi Chi who was eating next to him, "I think Father must miss us now."

The chicken was grilled very fragrantly, and the golden fat dripped down, and Xi Chi pulled the chicken leg off.

Xi Xiuyuan and him were brothers and sisters at the beginning, but now they can't respect each other: "I'm an elder brother, can I give up my leg meat to my elder brother?"

Xi Chi said: "But I have lost half a catty this month, so I'd better give way to my younger brother."

Xi Xiuyuan had no choice but to gnaw on the chicken wings: "By the way, I heard that the ninth princess is also married, and among the three princesses who like you, only the tenth princess is left, the one who gave you fish food. We will definitely see the emperor when we return to Beijing, you You have also made a lot of contributions, do you think the emperor will suddenly change his mind after seeing you and betroth the ten princesses to you?"

This year, Xi Chi has grown a lot taller, he has begun to lose his youthful youthfulness, and his appearance is more handsome and gentle. Compared with last year, Xi Chi is more charming.

Xi Chi had no such intention at all.

He often went to Yao's house to see his grandparents a few months ago, and now he has captured Yingzhou and later moved to Yingzhou.

He said: "Brother, I think the father and the emperor are the ones who worry about you first. Everyone else has already married and started a career. Why doesn't the elder brother marry a sister-in-law?"

Xi Xiuyuan turned on the fire: "For eldest brother, the less you worry about, the better. I want to rely on myself to do things to be respected and liked by others, instead of relying on our father to be sought after. Father's achievements belong to him."

He always remembered that he was not the real son of King Cheng, so when he received some respect and praise, he felt ashamed and always felt that he didn't deserve it.

This time on the battlefield, Xichi helped him a lot, and he himself lived up to the king's orders, suffered many injuries, made the right decision, and brought peace to Yingzhou.

"I have admired my father since I was a child, and I want to be a great general like him." Xi Xiuyuan said, "Ah Chi, it's really a pity that you didn't live with us in the capital."

Xi Chi actually thought it was okay.

He was not accompanied by his parents, he was lonely, and he heard some sarcastic remarks in Yao's house when he was young, but in the process of growing up, there was more warmth than pain.

He has brothers and sisters in Crane College, and he also met many friends when he was away from home. He has done a lot of things to help many people. Although he has no official or job and often lacks money, he feels very rich.

It was also a good experience to deal with so many soldiers this year, and to win a battle with my brother.

Xi Xiuyuan said: "Today is New Year's Eve, and tomorrow is the new year. Du Tinglong's old department is almost cleaned up, and we will be able to return to Beijing to meet the king soon."
