Chapter 411 King Cheng’s Idea

The pavilion was very quiet, except for the sound of the cold wind coming from the window. Inside the window, two people were playing chess with pieces in their hands. Xiqi and Xiao Xuanzi each stood next to their master, watching their master play chess attentively.

Although they are eunuchs, they still understand a little bit about following their masters. From time to time, their expressions change from nervous to relaxed, or from relaxed to nervous, as the chess game changes.

The room is lit with Buddhist incense, and the faint smell of sandalwood is very calming and peaceful.

King Cheng said to the Buddha that he liked to use good sandalwood in the house. This was one of his habits. King Zhou had already gone back, leaving Chu Liuchen alone because he had just had a good rest, but it was inconvenient to leave, so the uncle and nephew stayed together. chess.

As for the matter of entertaining guests, King Cheng specifically asked the eldest princess Ruian to make the decision. This so-called decision-making was different from the previous meaning. He personally asked for it.

The eldest princess Ruian came to entertain guests for him before, just to entertain these ladies. If he really had to choose, he should treat himself. But what he means now is to pay the eldest princess Ruian in full, which means that she can be his master. , can help select some people, he is not interested at all.

The eldest princess Ruian was originally unwilling. She specially brought these ladies to the garden just to let King Cheng make the choice. Unexpectedly, after what happened to Qin Yuru, King Cheng actually entrusted the whole matter to her. He seemed to let her make the decision, which put Princess Ruian in a difficult situation.

She did come to Palm Eye, but it was only Palm Eye. She would not help King Cheng make a decision. Now King Cheng threw the matter to her with an impatient expression. Thinking about what just happened, The eldest princess Ruian also felt very disgusted. This eldest lady of General Ningyuan was really weird.

I have already arranged a kiss, but I still have the nerve to do such a thing!

This is even more shameless than those unmarried ladies deliberately looking for opportunities to get in front of those princes and princes.

King Cheng had no intention of getting married in the first place, but he finally got him to agree to marry him. Now he was shocked by this shameless Miss Qin. She looked like she didn't want to choose another wife. Princess Ruian was also extremely helpless.

Seeing that King Cheng insisted on doing this, he could only take the large group of 茑茑葑葑yan back to the flower hall in the inner courtyard.

King Zhou just saw that there was nothing to watch, so he left with his people. When Chu Liuchen came over, he saw King Cheng playing chess with him quietly, so he sat opposite him and played chess. stand up.

The two people went back and forth, but it was very quiet. The chess game was stalemate for a while and it was difficult to determine the outcome.

King Cheng held a chess piece in his hand, and his eyes fell on the chessboard without saying a word for a long time. When Chu Liuchen saw that he had not made a move for a long time, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then slowly put it down and asked casually: "King Why don’t you choose a lady from an aristocratic family?”

"The eldest princess will help me pick this matter." Prince Cheng said without raising his head.

"The one chosen by the eldest princess must not be to my liking. Won't Uncle Wang leave all this matter to the eldest princess?" Chu Liuchen said with a slight smile on his handsome eyes.

"It doesn't matter, it's just that there are a few more women in the house!" Prince Cheng replied casually, still looking for a more suitable place.

"But this is Princess Cheng, can Uncle Wang really not care?" Chu Liuchen said pointedly.

After saying this, King Cheng paused, raised his head and put the chess pieces aside. He also picked up the tea at hand and took a sip. Then he frowned and said with a wry smile: "I actually don't want to get married at all. Coming back after getting married is just a mistake." It’s nothing more than others, I’m afraid I want to return to Buddhism for the rest of my life.”

"If Uncle Wang is unwilling, why did he agree to the uncle and the emperor's grandmother?" Chu Liuchen asked with a puzzled look on his face, with a hint of elegant concern in his expression.

King Cheng's eyes fell on Chu Liuchen's face, and seeing that he actually asked this question sincerely, the smile on his face became more and more bitter.

"Since this matter was decided by the Emperor's brother and mother, it is useless for me to object! In fact, there is nothing good about women. Something happened today. A woman who was already engaged actually barged in front of me and asked me I deliberately dropped my earrings, if all the women in this world are like this, how can I get married?"

King Cheng sighed and looked like he was avoiding it.

Qin Yuru's incident gave him inspiration. If it was inconvenient to refuse before and he had to compromise, now there is a new turning point because of Qin Yuru's incident.

The assassination incident on New Year's Eve brought him into the emperor's sight. At this time, he had to obey the emperor's wishes in choosing a concubine, and then discussed with his staff what kind of woman would be most suitable to enter the palace.

But at this moment, I felt that with this incident, my dislike of women was justified, and I was willing not to get married, so I didn't want to care about anything, and directly blamed everything on Princess Ruian. practice.

He originally expressed his displeasure with women and just wanted to join Buddhism. Now that Qin Yuru had stimulated him, this idea made even more sense.

It's a good excuse.

Of course, it is not convenient for other women to enter his house casually, or he may have women in the future, but not now. At this time, he does not want to attract other people's attention.

As the assassination incident became more serious, many things were out of his control before, and he had to come to this point, but things could still change now.

General Ning Yuan's daughter was indeed annoying, but this time, it was an unexpected surprise for him.

"Uncle Wang, that was just an accident. There are not many women in this world who are so shameless." Chu Liuchen comforted Prince Cheng with a smile.

"Before she showed it, who would have thought of her shamelessness. Women in this world are all good at covering up. If they didn't notice it before, they would expose it later. If they find out after she enters Prince Cheng's Mansion, it will be embarrassing. She is not alone anymore!" King Cheng shook his head and refused decisively.

"Uncle Wang, are you going to tell your uncle like this?" Chu Liuchen smiled slightly and said calmly. He rested for a while. At this time, his expression looked pretty good, just a little lighter than ordinary people. It made him look a little colder than the average person.

He is more like a direct immortal who has not entered the mortal world. This is indeed what King Cheng has always thought before. He has never despised this sick nephew, but he does not attach importance to it either.

But he was so happy that Chu Liuchen had a woman by his side at that time. It felt like a direct immortal being pulled into the mortal world and becoming a libertine.

The huge deviation here still makes King Cheng unable to figure out what is going on here! And what happened to Chu Liuchen later drew him into the whirlpool. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, King Cheng still hasn't figured it out yet.

After examining Chu Liuchen who was opposite him, King Cheng said slowly: "I really need to talk to the emperor about this matter. If the emperor agrees that it is best for the king not to marry the princess, if the emperor says that he must marry, then Just get married!"

After saying this, he was extremely helpless, as if he was really hit and had no idea, but he was forced by the pressure of the emperor, "It used to be difficult to make water in the sea, if you miss it, you will miss it!"

The following words were very soft, almost to himself, but Chu Liuchen listened to them seriously, and his eyes turned with a deep look, looking at the chess piece in his hand after King Cheng made the move. He also followed the trend and said: "The Imperial Grandmother also wants me to get married, but the way I am now... why should I get married? I am just as embarrassed as Uncle Wang!"

King Cheng who said this agreed in his heart. Chu Liuchen didn't know how many years he could live, so it was better not to get married, so as not to harm other women, but of course he couldn't say this in front of Chu Liuchen. If this really happened, the Queen Mother would definitely punish herself.

He smiled slightly and reassured him: "Your disease is not incurable. Didn't the Queen Mother also invite many imperial doctors to take a look at it? You can take care of it slowly."

"Recuperate slowly? But the emperor's grandmother's intention is of course that the sooner this king gets married, the better!" Chu Liuchen took advantage of the situation and dropped another piece, and said without raising his head, his eyes still fell on the chess game, as if Extremely focused.

King Cheng's heart moved, and the chess piece in his hand fell down. His attention fell on Chu Liuchen, and the expression on his face became calmer: "Can you ask the queen to postpone it for a few years? You are still young!"

"The Imperial Grandmother is very anxious, and I am also upset, but I also know that the Imperial Grandmother is here for me, but this king is like this now..." Chu Liuchen shook his sleeves, although he did not continue to speak, the meaning in these words King Cheng understands.

It seems that Chu Liuchen's illness is not an act. It seems that he really doesn't want to get married. Maybe he is bored and doesn't have the energy to support a woman.

His eyes swept over the wheelchair Chu Liuchen was sitting on calmly. He remembered that Chu Liuchen didn't sit in a wheelchair much in the past, but now it seems that he used it more and more often. But he knew it by looking at the skillful movements of little Xuanzi next to him. Things keep getting done.

Is Chu Liuchen's body getting worse?

"Actually, it's not impossible." King Cheng's heart moved and he suddenly offered Chu Liuchen some advice.

"Uncle Wang, do you have any good ideas?" Chu Liuchen lazily raised his eyelids, as if he didn't quite believe that King Cheng had any good ideas.

"I do have a plan here, but do you want to use it?" King Cheng laughed, his face gentle and decent, as if he really wanted to help Chu Liuchen.

"Uncle Wang, let's hear it." Seeing how confident King Cheng was, Chu Liuchen seemed to have some energy, smiled slightly, and asked.

He really looked like he didn't like getting married. There was a hint of thoughtfulness in King Cheng's somewhat questioning eyes. Then who was the woman he met happily before? Is it because I don’t have enough status, or is it really just an occasional show? Or is this what Chu Liuchen is like in private?

In the past, it was just the surface. If this was really the case, wouldn't Chu Liuchen be as harmless as he seemed?

"I have come up with an idea for you, and you have to come up with an idea for me too!" King Cheng said with a smile as his thoughts were swirling in his mind.

"Okay, I will try my best!" Chu Liuchen looked at King Cheng with his deep eyes. He put down the chess pieces in his hand seemingly casually and said with a slight smile.

King Cheng's eyes followed his gestures and fell on the chess game. He was immediately shocked and stood up suddenly. The chess game that had not been revealed just now was determined by this move.
