The atmosphere fell into a long silence.
Just when Hua Manman thought that Li Ji would not speak anymore, he suddenly spoke, his voice was low and deep.
"Many people think that this king is his child."
Hua Manman asked cautiously, "Is it true?"
Li Ji asked without answering, "What do you think?"
Hua Manman sneered: "I don't know about myself."
Li Ji asked again: "If the king says it's not true, would you believe it?"
Hua Manman nodded without hesitation: "I believe!"
Li Jing looked at her: "Why?"
Hua Manman took it for granted.
"Compared to those gossips, I naturally trust the prince more, after all, the prince is the husband of the concubine!"
After getting along for this period of time, she already had a preliminary understanding of King Zhao.
Although he often behaves badly, he always likes to find ways to torment her, and he is annoying with his vicious tongue, and his mind is not normal.
But he really didn't lie to her.
Li Ji who heard her voice: "..."
He was obviously trusted by her, but he didn't feel happy at all.
On the contrary, there is a feeling of being pierced with many knives in the heart.
That's bad.
Li Ji stretched out his hand, pinched the back of her neck accurately, and said with a smile.
"I didn't expect you to trust me so much. This king is really touched."
He said touching words, but Hua Manman clearly heard the danger.
She wanted to shrink back, but the back of her neck was pinched, and she couldn't move, so she could only bite the bullet and continue performing.
"The concubine just said what was in her heart."
Li Ji's thumb pads slowly rubbed the surface of the back of her neck, his voice was low and soft.
"I know that you have always been honest and obedient, and you will never lie to me. I hope you can keep it going. Don't let me down."
Hua Manman always felt that there was something in his words, but she couldn't figure out what the mystery hidden in his words was, so she could only answer honestly.
"The concubine will definitely not disappoint the prince."
Li Ji pinched the back of her neck gently, and said with a smile, "You're so cute."
He went against his father's last wish and chose to believe her.
If she betrays his trust in the future, then he can only kill her.
Use her blood and flesh to repay the trust he poured into her.
Hua Manman instinctively feels that the current King Zhao is very dangerous.
She suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and forcibly changed the subject.
"Wen Zhaorong has a blood feud with you, and Yichongyuan wants to pave the way for her son. Both of them have motives to frame you."
Li Ji let go of the back of her neck, leaned back, and said lazily, "So?"
Hua Manman resisted the urge to rub the back of her neck, and replied calmly.
"The concubine suspects the matter of framing, both of them are involved, but one of them is the mastermind, and the other wants to push the boat along."
Li Ji raised his eyebrows: "Why don't you think the two of them are conspiring together?"
Hua Manman analyzed seriously.
"The two of them are concubines of the saint, so they are naturally in a competitive relationship.
This means that they will never be able to live in peace.
If they conspired to frame the prince, it would mean that they personally handed over their handle to the other party.
They can't do something so stupid. "
Li Ji laughed again.
"If you can be so smart when you are studying, you don't have to be reduced to farming."
Hua Manman: "..."
As the saying goes, a dog cannot spit out ivory, and the ancients did not deceive me!
When Li Ji heard her heartfelt voice, the smile on his face paused slightly, and then he laughed more freely.
He even reached out and pulled Hua Manman into his arms, forced her to sit on his lap, and pinched her slender waist.
"You're such a funny little thing."
Huamanman's waist is very sensitive.
After being pinched by him like this, half of her body softened immediately, and her little face flushed.
She shyly said: "My lord, don't be like this~"
You are the little one! You all are little things!
Li Ji was still smiling, and his eyes became brighter as he looked at the woman in his arms.
In the past, Li Ji often felt that mind reading was a very troublesome ability.
Because he can often hear the unspoken thoughts in other people's minds, and most of those thoughts have dirty, dirty, and dark meanings.
After listening too much, he can't help feeling irritable, and sometimes even has an urge to destroy everything.
Just destroy everything so he doesn't have to hear those disgusting voices again.
Only Huamanman is an exception.
Not only will her voice not disgust him, but it will also make him feel interesting.
Because of her appearance, there was finally some light in his boring, gray and boring life.
As long as he stayed with her, even if he didn't do anything, he would feel better.
Three days later.
King Zhao presented a batch of good wine to the emperor.
The emperor was very happy, and held a banquet in Yuqing Palace that night, inviting everyone to taste fine wine.
When Yichongyuan heard the news, she had a bad premonition in her heart.
She doesn't want to go to the dinner.
But she dared not accept the emperor's kindness, and all the others had gone to the banquet, if she was the only one who didn't go, it would definitely attract a lot of suspicion.
She hesitated again and again, but finally gritted her teeth and made up her mind to attend tonight's banquet.
When she was dressed properly, Yi Chongyuan looked at herself in the glazed mirror with a dazed expression.
It has been ten years since she entered the palace.
In the past ten years, she has been walking on eggshells every day, especially after giving birth to Yi'er, she is even more careful everywhere, for fear that Yi'er will be plotted against.
It was not easy for Yi'er to grow up.
She began to worry about Yi'er's future again.
Born in the royal family, it is doomed to fight for power and profit.
Yichongyuan does not want her son to become a stepping stone on the road to success for others.
She had to fight and rob in order to win more bargaining chips for her son.
As long as there are those bargaining chips, even if she is gone in the future, her Yi'er can live the rest of her life in peace.
At this moment, the sixth prince Li Yi ran in and called his mother and concubine affectionately.
He is only six years old now, and because he was born prematurely, his body bones are thinner and thinner than other princes.
Yichongyuan bent down and reached out to help her son smooth out the folds on the skirt.
she exhorted.
"You stay in the house tonight and don't go anywhere."
Li Yi asked in a daze, "Why? Didn't Emperor Father invite us to wine tasting at a banquet tonight?"
Yichongyuan coaxed softly: "You are still too young to drink, be good, you go to bed early tonight, my concubine will make glutinous rice dumplings for you tomorrow."
Li Yi's favorite food is glutinous rice dumpling, but his concubine mother said that glutinous rice is not easy to digest, so he usually wouldn't let him eat it.
Knowing that he could eat his favorite glutinous rice dumpling, Li Yi's eyes lit up immediately.
Without hesitation, he agreed to his mother's request.
Yichongyuan touched his face lovingly.
She didn't know what was going to happen at the banquet tonight.
But countless historical experiences told her that King Zhao would never aim at nothing.
He offered wine to the emperor at this time, and he must have wanted to take this opportunity to do something.
Yichongyuan couldn't guarantee whether she would be able to get out unscathed this time.
She just hoped that her son would not be implicated.
…
During the new book period, everyone needs to vote and leave a message to support, good morning~
Hua Manman: You are the little thing! You all are little things!
Li Ji: You think this king is very small, huh
