"Who told you that the emperor is... an old man?" The emperor spat out the last three words with difficulty, always feeling that this word was an insult to himself.
Zhao Jinyu didn't notice Shitou's dissatisfaction at all, and said as a matter of course, "I know the emperor is not old, he seems to be twenty-five years old this year... However, there are so many concubines in the harem, who have been immersed in female sex all year round, even if they look normal on the outside, Actually..." Zhao Jinyu lowered her voice, and said in a thief-like manner, "Perhaps her body has been hollowed out long ago, and there is no way to be humane at all. Do you think you are an old man?"
The emperor fell on his back and almost fell, gnashing his teeth thinking, whether he can be humane, whether his body has been hollowed out, this girl Zhao Jinyu will definitely know very well in the future!
Zhao Jinyu lay down on the bed, covered the quilt, and lowered the blue curtains. Suddenly, a small canopy bed became a space by itself, which made people feel a little comfortable for no reason. "Why don't you talk?" Zhao Jinyu put Shi Shi put it next to her pillow. Although she preferred to sleep with this little guy in her arms, Shi Shi sternly refused several times, saying that he was a man... and she needed to avoid suspicion. Go straight to sleep outside? Still insisting on squeezing into the bed with her, it's a dead duck's mouth.
But for the time being, she took this reaction as Shishi's first spiritual awareness, and found out that he was a boy, and the little boy felt awkward. Thinking about it this way, she thought it was quite cute.
The emperor was actually very angry. Which man can bear being suspected of this kind of thing? But his anger was also temporary, when Zhao Jinyu couldn't get his response..., she quickly kissed him, and his anger disappeared immediately, her lips were as soft as the most beautiful petals, gently When touched on the body, it is as if it can be scalded to the bottom of the heart.
The emperor thought that if he wanted to kidnap Zhao Jinyu into the palace smoothly, he would naturally have to let Zhao Jinyu choose to enter the palace willingly.
But how
"I'm asleep. Good night." Zhao Jinyu couldn't get Shitou's response, thinking he was asleep too, and closed her eyes too.
"Actually, the emperor is not a womaniser at all." The emperor cleared his throat, helplessly excused himself, and couldn't help sighing as he spoke, one day he would also be reduced to the level of the old king selling melons and boasting? It's really a bit aggrieved..., but when he thinks that his partner is Zhao Jinyu, he feels very willing in his heart. This kind of mood not only makes him feel novel, but also feels that there is an indescribable warmth in the sprouting.
"Do you know the inside story?" Zhao Jinyu suddenly became energetic. Women always like to listen to gossip, not to mention that for ordinary people like Zhao Jinyu, the affairs of the emperor in the inner courtyard of the palace are even more mysterious.
"Because I am afraid that the prince will indulge in wine and sex, in fact, I have been very strict with this aspect since I was a child."
"Is that so?"
The emperor nodded, "Yes, the nuns and maids around me are strictly selected, and they will abide by this rule extremely cruelly, but..." The emperor decided to praise himself a lot, "The current emperor is a man who strictly abides by self-discipline. People, there are only two concubines in the palace after enthroning for many years, one is the grand maid who followed the emperor since she was a child, and the right to keep her by her side is regarded as a status, which is regarded as a kindness, and the other is the first and the empress who died Sister, at that time the Empress was seriously ill, worried that the Eldest Princess would be left unattended, so she entrusted the Emperor to summon her to the palace to take care of the Eldest Princess instead, and hereby conferred the title of Concubine Shu."
"Only two? I really didn't expect... It is said that His Majesty is a tyrant today, who knows that he is so restrained towards female sex? It is really incomprehensible." Zhao Jinyu instinctively felt that men are..., cough, cough, ready-made Is there any reason not to enjoy the beauties sent here? Even if the emperor has always restrained himself, are the women in the harem just simple roles? It is bound to work hard to get close to the emperor, and then try to get favor.
But after thinking about it, she felt that she was too extreme. She saw an affectionate ancient man with her own eyes today. Maybe he is really a very picky person, not the kind who refuses everything.
"Tyrant? Hehe" the emperor sneered twice but didn't say anything.
Zhao Jinyu asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing." The emperor suddenly lost the interest to speak. In fact, he didn't care what outsiders thought of him, but if this person was replaced by Zhao Jinyu..., he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Zhao Jinyu didn't have much to talk about at first, but the topic of Shitou aroused her interest. Now Shitou suddenly stopped talking... She felt uncomfortable as if she hadn't been scratched by a cat, and said in a coaxing tone, "Shitou, tell me , I just heard from others that thousands of people were implicated in the Emperor’s Literary Prison, and that every time the Emperor went to court in the morning, he would beat his ministers in public to vent his anger, just because he said something that didn’t suit the Emperor’s wishes.”
The emperor softened his heart by Zhao Jinyu's soft voice, and said, "There is nothing to say, many things are believed to be believed. It depends on what you think."
Zhao Jinyu nodded after listening, and said, "That's true. I just heard people say that the emperor was cruel, but in fact the emperor neither collected a large amount of corvees nor raised taxes, but actually lowered the taxes of the people... so When I think about it, it seems that most of the emperors and tyrants are officials in the court, and the people still live as usual." Zhao Jinyu remembers learning the reasons for the fall of the Qin Dynasty when studying history. Many people attribute it to too much corvee. Corvée accounted for almost one-third of the population of the Qin Dynasty, and the criminal law was very cruel at that time, so the people could not bear it, and there was no way out for rebellion.
But in fact, besides being not very kind to his prince brother, the current emperor is not friendly enough to the ministers. It is said that those who fail to do their errands well, or those who disobey the emperor will be punished, and they will be punished in front of the ministers. Face to face... This habit is really unkind. People want face and trees need skin. Doesn't this make people have face
Apart from these, it seems that there is really nothing too out of the ordinary.
The more you like a person, the more you want to be recognized by the other person. This is the thinking of all normal people, and the emperor is the same at this time. If he was disheartened just now, then now he has a little more tenderness that cannot be expressed. Said, "Since you also know that it's just a rumor? The emperor is an upright man with an empty post, what a great opportunity this is? Why did you refuse to enter the palace? Actually, think about it... about your adoptive father. If you enter As a concubine, being able to speak up in front of the emperor is much better than the Zhao family?" The emperor very cunningly threw a bait to Zhao Jinyu, thinking that there must always be something to attract her, It's impossible to reveal your true identity, but you can put Zhao Jinyu's most concerned things in front of her.
In fact, the emperor didn't want to do this at first, since Zhao Changchun is Zhao Jinyu's adoptive father...he had to let him live well, so even if the Zhao family didn't take care of this matter, he would still order it, but now the situation has changed again, it seems that Zhao Jinyu It doesn't seem like he wants to enter the palace, so he can only use this matter to lure her.
After hearing this, Zhao Jinyu really stopped talking, she pursed her lips silently, appearing preoccupied.
The emperor continued, "What did the Zhao family tell you? I don't need to listen to know... , most of them said that they would only try their best, but at most they would save your adoptive father's life, but who knows what will happen in the middle? Many people are in prison Death from illness is a common occurrence, not to mention being sent to exile after being sentenced, the road of exile is not easy, many people survived the hardships in prison but did not survive the hardships on the road."
Zhao Jinyu hummed, feeling increasingly depressed.
The emperor began to bewitch again, "What kind of marriage do you want to find to be satisfied? According to your grandmother's idea, naturally she wants you to marry a family that is also a famous family, but there was a lot of noise at the confession banquet a few days ago. You have also seen... Many famous families look glamorous on the outside, but they are rotten from the inside, do you really want to go to this kind of family?" It is really embarrassing for the emperor to be so earnest in order to let Zhao Jinyu enter the palace. Persuasion, suddenly changed from a companion stone to a good girlfriend.
Zhao Jinyu shook her head and said, "Of course I don't want to."
"Then why don't you enter the palace? Wouldn't it be better to be a noble concubine? Maybe you can also be a queen." The emperor began to boast and said, "Do you know..., before the emperor ascended the throne, he was hailed as the first concubine. A handsome man." Actually, the emperor hates this title the most, but it can't stop this thing from being useful!
Sure enough, Zhao Jinyu's round eyes widened, she looked very cute and cute, and said, "Isn't that what those people are saying to flatter the emperor?"
The emperor smiled, and raised his voice slightly with a disdainful arrogance, "How is it possible, the emperor is indeed a rare handsome man, you will know it when you see it."
Zhao Jinyu sighed, "Is there really such a person in this world? He has good looks, power, and means. He gathers the essence of heaven and earth, which is simply enviable."
The emperor was quite proud, and said lazily, "That is, so why did you refuse to enter the palace?"
Zhao Jinyu let out a breath, touched the stone with her fingertips, and said, "You little thing must be a spy sent by the emperor!" The emperor's heart trembled, and Zhao Jinyu continued, "Didn't we promise to wait for you?" Transformation, will I marry you? Why are you trying so hard to let me enter the palace? Are you willing to let me go?"
In fact, Zhao Jinyu said that marrying Shitou was purely teasing, she was very confused now, of course she wanted to save her adoptive father, but what if she had to lose her life? Returning to the Zhao family, becoming the eldest daughter of the Zhao family is indeed not free, but in fact she still has a choice in marriage, and entering the palace is a way to go to the end.
The emperor snorted, "How do you know that I am not the emperor in the palace? Maybe I am his incarnation!" The emperor said tentatively.
It was Zhao Jinyu who responded to the emperor with a belly laugh, waiting for Zhao Jinyu to burst into tears, and then said, "Little thing, don't be angry, I just want..., if that's the case, it would be great, and I don't have to marry you." Stranger, I will continue to be with you." After speaking, there was a bit of tenderness in his tone.
The emperor knew that Zhao Jinyu's words contained a lot of water, but he still couldn't help but feel distracted... and felt warm in his heart.
