The King's Concubine_The Masked Feast【Complete】(34)

After the two of them left, Mr. Liu analyzed the matter with the King of Jin again, focusing on the fact that the Crown Prince had fallen out of favor and power, and the Crown Prince was suspected of replacing him.

In the past two years, the attitude of Emperor Hongjing was indeed quite ambiguous. The Crown Prince was incompetent, and it seemed that it was not impossible to surpass the Crown Prince and become the Crown Prince. But the problem is that, in addition to the Crown Prince, Emperor Hongjing still has several princes who are in their prime and are not inferior to others in terms of civil and military strategies.

For example, Prince An, Prince Yong, and Prince Jin.

Can these princes willingly watch a young boy surpass them and sit on that position? If it is the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince is the legitimate son of the Central Palace and the eldest son, and he is indeed worthy of it.

But the Crown Prince? After all, he is the Crown Prince, not the Crown Prince. Even if he is a young genius, it is not enough to convince the public.

It is estimated that the Crown Prince also knows that his uncles will probably not watch him take the throne, so he will take the initiative. The first ones he chose to deal with were the most powerful princes, the Prince of Jin and the Prince of Yong. He only needed to use some tricks to make the two princes fight each other, and he sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight. His scheming was so deep that it was jaw-dropping.

Then an old question came to the front again. Why did the Crown Prince do that? Why was he so sure that he could provoke hostility between the Prince of Jin and the Prince of Yong?

What did he rely on?

This is a question that cannot be avoided. But who is Mr. Liu? He just pretended that this question did not exist, only discussed other things, but did not mention this matter at all.

However, before leaving, Mr. Liu still mentioned to the Prince of Jin that the Prince of Jin’s mansion was now lacking a young master. It was not only the question of whether the Prince of Jin had an heir or not, but also the question of whether he had an heir or not, but also the question of whether he had a son or not. The Prince of Yong and the Prince of An had more than one son, but the Prince of Jin had none. This was his biggest shortcoming.

After Mr. Liu left, there was silence in the inner study, and it was not until this time that the Prince of Jin showed a cold and sinister look on his face.

Suddenly, he knocked on the desk, and in the blink of an eye, a man suddenly appeared in front of him.

A man in tight clothes with an ordinary face.

"Let the people in the capital move. I remember that the prince is obsessed with beauty and has not stepped into the princess's room for a long time. The princess is in her prime, and she is alone in the empty room, lonely and unbearable. Send her a man and let her enjoy it. The emperor's eldest grandson seems to be getting married. Is he marrying the daughter of the Chen family? How can he mess him up so easily? As for the antidote, start with the eldest grandson of the East Palace."

"Yes."

The man disappeared, and the study returned to a state of stagnation until Fucheng walked in from outside.

"Your Highness, the things have been sent to the small courtyard."

In fact, this matter should not be replied again. It's just a reward for a servant, so why does the master need to pay attention to it all the time. But there are differences between servants, especially with the previous incident, Fucheng naturally wants to pay attention to every detail.

The King of Jin's face was as cold as water. When he heard this, his eyes moved.

He suddenly wanted to see the little nurse and see if she could understand what he meant. He didn't have to worry anymore. Especially at this moment, he was in a bad mood and wanted to go out for some fresh air.

But the King of Jin also realized that his appearance was a bit too obvious, so he lowered his head and continued to look at the secret letter on the table. When he felt that it was almost noon, he took Fucheng to the small courtyard.

At this time, the small courtyard had just called for lunch, and the maids and women below went to eat in batches. Yao Niang and Yu Yan's lunch was also ready. The little princess was playing at this time, so Yao Niang asked Yu Cui to eat first, anyway, she was not hungry at this time.

The little princess was playing on the couch. At this time, the baby was very active. The weather was hot and there was no ice in the room. Yao Niang only put a small bellyband on the little princess and let her toss on the couch. She just had to watch her not fall off.

Yao Niang looked at the little princess with a smile on her face, and her heart softened. She thought of Xiaobao. Xiaobao was about the same age as the little princess, and he must have turned over by now.

Missing her was like a flood, and Yao Niang was full of sadness. She wished she could grow a pair of wings and fly back to Linyun County in the blink of an eye to see Xiaobao and her sister.

Yao Niang was immersed in her thoughts and naturally ignored the movement behind her. It was not until the King of Jin came to her that she realized that someone had come to the house.

She subconsciously looked out the window. There was no one in the courtyard. Thinking that it was time for dinner, the gatekeeper was probably lazy again. In fact, it was also because no one usually came to the small courtyard, and it was in the palace, so the servants were relatively loose. In addition, the two maids Yuyan and Yucui were not the kind of people who treated people harshly, so it was inevitable that someone would sneak in and play tricks.

She bowed and did not dare to look up.

Thinking about the reward in the morning, she was even more unsure of why the King of Jin came at this time.

"I'm here to see the little princess." Prince Jin coughed lightly and said.

Yao Niang nodded hurriedly.

According to the rules, when the master comes, tea should be served. But there was no one in the small building at this time, and Fucheng was rarely seen. Yao Niang doubted that Prince Jin could keep an eye on the little princess, so she could only stand there awkwardly and pretend nothing happened.

The room was very quiet. The two of them seemed to be looking at the little princess who was turning over and over on the couch, but in fact their attention was a little scattered.

Yao Niang thought again and again, and then whispered: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward."

King Jin made an almost incomprehensible noise, paused, and then said: "You have served the little princess well, and I should have rewarded you long ago."

Is this considered a reversal?

What happened that day didn't happen?

Yao Niang could understand what King Jin meant, and now that she heard King Jin's words, her heart that had been hanging in the air with no hope of decline could finally be let go.

There was even a little bit of joy, she succeeded, maybe she could really stay safe and sound until the little princess was older, and then go home with the money she earned.

While thinking about this, Yao Niang couldn't help but glance at King Jin.

The King of Jin stood tall and tall, his back straight, his hands behind his back, and he looked at the little princess with a cold expression. Obviously that handsome face is still the same as before, with almost no superfluous expressions, but because of the softness in his eyes, the sharpness of the entire face has been softened.

Yao Niang has never seen such a Jin King.

She even vaguely envied the innocent milk baby on the bed.

She thought that probably only the little princess in the world could make Prince Jin take the coldness off his face and take care of him wholeheartedly.

King Jin felt that this nanny was a bit silly. He had been here for so long and didn't even mention food, not even a cup of tea.

He wondered who taught her the rules.

So Yao Niang noticed that King Jin's handsome eyebrows were frowning.

King Jin’s frown is really nice.

Yao Niang has seen many people frowning, but they either look very fierce, or they have two wrinkles on their foreheads, and some even change the shape of their eyes, twisting them together.

But he was the only one with long and smooth eyebrows, neither thick nor light in color, like an ink painting shrouded in mist. The peaks of his eyebrows don't look too sharp, but rather soft. When he frowns, the center of his brows only slightly twist into an arc. It doesn't look like a frown, but more like a frown.

Yao Niang suddenly remembered a poem. The beauty rolled up the bead curtain and sat with her eyebrows deeply furrowed, but when she saw wet tears, she didn't know who she hated.

After thinking about it, she felt that she was really rebellious. How could she compare Prince Jin to a woman. But if you look carefully, King Jin is really good-looking, even prettier than women.

Yao Niang felt that she understood the fact why King Jin always had a cold face, cold and hard. Because he is so good-looking, if he is seen by outsiders like this, how can he intimidate the whole family and lead the border soldiers to resist the barbarians.

Just when Yao Niang's thoughts were distracted, King Jin had already looked over, and of course he found the nanny peeking at him.

King Jin was no stranger to this kind of look. To be honest, he had been seen like this by many people. But there has never been a person with such eyes.

There is no calculation, no ulterior motives, no complicated things, but very pure, as if it is him, not King Jin.

Such a look made King Jin feel confused for a moment, but he was interrupted before he had time to think deeply.

It turned out that the reason why Fucheng didn't come in with King Jin just now was because he was interested, and secondly, he went to call someone.

After Yuyan Yucui came in, she knelt on the ground.

The two of them also came from the palace, and the rules in the palace were the strictest. When they were in Chaohui Hall earlier, the rules were roughly the same as those in the palace. But since I came to the small cross-yard, I may have been really used to being idle, but it happened that no one was guarding the door inside and outside, and I didn't realize it until after His Highness came.

According to King Jin's rules, both Yuyan and Yucui were indispensable for being whipped ten times, but this time he just told them not to do it again and let them get up.

Yu Yan and Yu Cui were still frightened. Looking at their pale faces, Yao Niang didn't understand why they were so afraid.

In fact, Yao Niang is also afraid of King Jin, but she knows that King Jin is not a person who loses his temper and expresses his anger at will.

King Jin did not have lunch, so Yu Yan went down to make arrangements.

The kitchen was prepared very quickly, and lunch was brought out in just a cup of tea.

Lunch was laid out in Dongci's room, and King Jin moved over.

After this period of time, Yao Niang was also very hungry. The wet nurse was hungry very quickly, and it came as soon as she said she was hungry.

She thought that now that Yuyan and Yucui were all here, and someone was helping to watch over the little princess, she could go have lunch. He whispered to Yucui quietly and planned to leave.

She thought her behavior was inconspicuous, but in fact everything was in plain view.

"Since Nurse Su is fine, let's help serve the meal." Fu Cheng said.

Chapter 27

Fucheng put his hands in his sleeves and stood behind King Jin like an old god.

He was wearing a blue silk tapestry collared shirt, a black gauze hat on his head, black soap boots on his feet, and a green bat jade pendant hanging from his waist. Judging from his appearance, he was only in his early thirties, but Yao Niang knew that Fucheng was already in his forties. However, eunuchs are all born with thin skin and tender flesh, so their faces look young.
