Chapter 686: Not Fighting Is Fighting
Chen Guanlou rarely felt wronged.
Yes, he is lustful!
Food and sex are human nature, regardless of gender.
He hangs out in brothels all day, but that doesn't mean he will eat anything he wants, no matter if it's fragrant or smelly.
He has principles and bottom lines.
He is annoyed by the three-story mansion given to him by the Marquis's Mansion and the group of beautiful maids. Every time he went to the three-story mansion to sleep, the group of beautiful maids tried their best to get close to him, and he couldn't do anything even if he wanted to practice well. It made him very annoyed, and there was no rules at all.
Later, the Marquis's Mansion saw that he did not live in a big house, but in an old and dilapidated house. After understanding the reason, they simply replaced the group of beautiful maids with a group of beautiful maids who knew the rules, knew how to advance and retreat, and could read the eyes.
In this way, he was willing to visit the three-story mansion occasionally.
But only occasionally!
Most of the time, he still lived in his own old and dilapidated house.
Regardless of whether others believe it or not, he firmly believes that the land of the Marquis' Mansion, including the area where the Chen clan members live, must be a good Feng Shui treasure land.
Because every time he lives in an old and dilapidated house and practices, he can lie down on the chair and enter a state in a blink of an eye, reaching a state he named "enlightenment", and feel the unity of man and nature.
Living in other houses, whether it is a three-story house, a two-story house, or the wedding room prepared for marrying Zhong Susu, he cannot smoothly reach the state of "enlightenment", let alone feel the unity of man and nature.
Look, how dedicated he is, only in love with old and dilapidated houses.
Who is ruining his reputation outside? Although he is a playboy, he is a playboy with style.
Sleeping with a palace maid?
A palace maid may not be as fragrant as a sister outside.
If a sister sleeps, she sleeps, there will be no follow-up trouble.
Sleeping with a palace maid, haha, maybe someone will die! He will definitely not die, but the one who is slept with will die.
Sleeping with a person, and sleeping with the person to death, is it worth it?
What a sin!
No matter how hungry you are, you can't kill someone without any deep hatred.
Bilu denied it repeatedly, looking very surprised and panicked. She was surprised that the method she was sure of didn't work. A lustful man, hearing that he could have sex with a palace maid, was not moved?
Don't all men in the world want to cuckold a man who is more powerful than themselves?
That's the emperor!
The palace maids belonged to the emperor in name.
Are you really not tempted?
Chen Guanlou sneered, "Do you think I am a brainless person who is blinded by lust?"
Bilu hesitated and shook her head, "I was reckless, please forgive me, sir. I was just too anxious, worried about the queen and the little prince."
"No matter what, the seventh prince is still a prince, the son of your majesty. Your majesty can't watch his own son being murdered. You and your master think too much and worry about nothing."
"It's not worrying about nothing! The dangers of the harem are no less than those of the court, and even worse. Please have mercy on me, sir!"
"Although I have pity, I can't let you and your servant get what you want. I can't be the master of the seventh prince, you go back. Go back and tell Concubine Liu that it's not easy to get her family. She can find an official with the surname Liu in the court to form a clan."
"But there is no high-ranking official of the Liu family in the court."
Obviously, Concubine Liu had thought of this method a long time ago. Just because there was no high-ranking official with the surname Liu in the court, she had no choice but to give up. As for the famous Liu family, it is impossible for them to be interested in her and her son.
"You have to worry about this matter yourself."
"Have you really forgotten the little friendship we had in the past?"
"Don't say that. I have some friendship with Li Dahong, and I am limited to being a brother's widow with Concubine Liu. Bilu, you are working in the palace, you should know that there are some words that you must not say. I see that as soon as you leave the palace, you get carried away and forget that the mouth is the source of trouble."
Bilu was a little ashamed and bowed her head slightly, "What you are teaching me is that I was reckless. I was just worried about the queen, and I couldn't help myself. I hope you can understand a little."
"You go back!" Chen Guanlou decisively sent the other party away, "Tell your queen that if she doesn't fight, she will fight!"
Bilu was stunned.
Chen Guanlou snapped his fingers, and the other party came back to his senses. She wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes, "I will tell you what you said."
"Don't come to me no matter what happens next. We are not familiar with each other!"
Bilu was sad when she heard this, thinking that the world is fickle. The queen also misjudged Master Chen. Master Chen is no longer the Chentou who sympathizes with the poor and the weak.
She left disappointed, leaving a gust of fragrant wind.
Chen Guanlou couldn't stand the smell of this fragrance, and he disliked it polluting his old and broken house. He paid Chunxiang's wife's children to clean the house.
It's called old and broken, it's really old, and it's really small, but it has nothing to do with broken, not a penny.
He spent a lot of money to renovate the house, rebuilt the walls, covered new tiles, painted the walls, and laid the floor. The yard was also paved with a layer of bluestone, the door was freshly painted, and replaced with brass handles.
When he was not at home, someone tried to steal the brass handle on his door, and was found and chased for several streets. Later, the Marquis's Mansion came forward and issued a notice that anyone who dared to steal the brass handle of his family would have his legs broken and be expelled from the family. This frightened the gang of brats in the family.
As for whether people from outside would have the courage to come and steal?
Haha!
Do you really think the Chen family is a decoration? Are the young and middle-aged people just eating dry food? Are the people who patrol every day blind?
Besides, the title of a ninth-grade warrior is so worthless, how dare a petty thief come to the door?
Petty thieves also have brains.
Only the youngsters in the clan had the courage to come to the door, but unfortunately they were exposed.
Bilu returned to the palace and did not exaggerate, but told the whole story of the meeting.
"My queen, what should I do if Lord Chen refuses to be the master of the little prince?"
Concubine Liu was still beautiful and unparalleled, but her eyes were less weak and more tough and experienced.
"I knew early on that this trip would not be smooth. But I didn't expect that he would refuse sternly and leave no room for maneuver. Alas, people's hearts are fickle after all. If he doesn't want to, then forget it, and think of other ways."
"Besides Lord Chen, who else is more suitable?"
"If there is no suitable one, we can only settle for the second best." Concubine Liu planned for her son, so how could she give up because of Chen Guanlou's words that not fighting is fighting.
In the cannibalistic harem, not fighting is death!
She no longer expects the emperor's favor, but only hopes that her son will become a talent. If he fails to become a talent, he will be crowned a king and become an idle prince. She can follow him out of the palace to enjoy the good life, and her second half of life will be perfect. If he becomes a talent, she may fight for that position!
The premise is that she must ensure that her son can grow up safely and there must not be any accidents in the middle.
Her son can only rely on her, and she can only rely on her son. The mother and son depend on each other, isolated and helpless, and in a dangerous situation. If they can get a helper... But Chen Guanlou refused.
