Chapter 557 [First Update] 557
Liu Tan didn't know whether he should admire Princess Yi'an's strong mentality. Of course, it might also be because there were too many such people around their biological father, Comrade Liu Che.
Do you really think that Liu Che was holding himself back whenever he traveled without his female companions? How is that possible?
There are many beautiful boys around him!
During the time he was drifting on the sea, the only decent female family member around him was Liu Fuling's mother, Zhao. Even so, Zhao was unable to regain his favor. Wasn't it because Liu Che had other people around him, no women and no men?
Princess Yi'an has lived in such an environment since she was a child, and she is not surprised by the prevalence of male homosexuality.
Even if it wasn't Zhao Pingjun, replacing him with someone else wouldn't necessarily guarantee that he wouldn't be homosexual. As the saying goes, what goes up must come down. Even if he's really not a homosexual, you have to keep one or two around you.
What's more, there are beautiful young men around Zhaoping Jun, and there are also some around Princess Yian.
Sometimes the couple would even exchange beautiful boys, or bring a few beautiful boys with them to mess around.
So this kind of thing was not a big deal in Princess Yi'an's eyes. The big deal was...Zhao Pingjun looked at Liu Tan with a strange look in his eyes.
Princess Yi'an also admitted that in her opinion, she had never seen a man more attractive than her younger brother.
Needless to say, he is good-looking. What is most attractive is actually Liu Tan's temperament.
There is a hint of elegance in the fierceness, which makes people want to explore further.
If it weren't for Liu Tan's aura that he was meant to be admired from afar but not touched, Princess Yi'an herself would have been unable to resist the urge to extend her wolf claws. After all, there were so many such things happening in the royal family, and as long as no one exposed them, basically everyone was used to it.
Unfortunately, this person is untouchable. Not only is he untouchable, but he is also so chaste that it makes people want to vomit blood.
Although she would have all sorts of messy thoughts, it didn't mean she could tolerate her brother being coveted by others, especially when that person was her husband.
What else is there to say? Start beating me!
Liu Tan originally really thought that the fight between the couple was caused by cosmetics, and he never expected that it was because of him.
He said the answer was too exciting and he needed to slow down.
Princess Yi'an has been persuading him to go and complain to Chen Ajiao. I think she wants to suppress Zhao Pingjun's arrogance. Isn't it because Zhao Pingjun is so arrogant now because he has several layers of protection umbrellas?
But Liu Tan did not agree. After all, these were all unfounded things. Zhao Pingjun did look at him with a little more eagerness, but it cannot be said that the other party's eagerness meant that he wanted to have some kind of relationship with him first, right?
If that were the case, every time he came up with something new or had a good idea, his subordinates would look at him eagerly, especially Huo Guang, whose eyes were much more enthusiastic than those of Zhao Pingjun.
Princess Yi'an thought that the queen would choose her son over her nephew, but what she didn't know was that her son was not her biological son. Of course, even if he was her biological son, there was no reason for her to complain about such a non-existent thing.
Liu Tanshen felt that the matter between the couple was a bit complicated, and he didn't plan to intervene anymore. He would just take them in for a day and send them out the next day.
Liu Tan also decided not to write the proposal he had originally planned to write, and let the couple do it, so that they wouldn't be too idle and look for trouble.
Liu Tan originally thought that separating the two of them would be enough, but he never expected that something would happen that night.
At that time, Liu Tan had just finished bathing. He let the maid help him wipe and comb his hair while reading the news sent from the Northern Border Kingdom, preparing to deal with some things before going to bed.
As soon as he finished drying his hair, he heard a commotion outside. Liu Tan suddenly had a bad feeling and put down the documents in his hand and ordered, "Go see what happened with the princess and Zhao Pingjun."
It’s no wonder that he directly blamed Zhaoping Jun and Princess Yian. The structure of his palace was too simple. If he didn’t make trouble, who would dare to make trouble?
Someone immediately ran out to take a look, and after a while, they returned to report, "Your Highness, it is said that Lord Zhaoping wanted to see Your Highness just now, but was blocked in the courtyard by Princess Yi'an. The two of them had a disagreement and started arguing."
Liu Tan subconsciously glanced at the hourglass. It was almost midnight. What did Zhao Pingjun want him to do?
He remembered what Princess Yi'an had said before, and couldn't help but frowned. He turned around and said, "Separate them, tell them to stop arguing and go to sleep quickly."
The young eunuch said with some embarrassment, "It's impossible to separate them. Princess Yi'an simply drove everyone out, then closed the courtyard door and started arguing with Lord Zhaoping. It seems... they even got physical."
Liu Tan felt a slight headache and turned to look at Miao Rui and Big Gao. "Go separate them and tell them that if they fight again, we'll go to my father, the emperor, and my mother tomorrow!"
Miao Rui and Bi Gao guessed that their prince was about to explode, so they immediately took the order and left.
Liu Tan thought about it and stood up and walked to the door of the bedroom to listen to what was going on over there.
You know what, it was quite lively. Princess Yi'an scolded Lord Zhaoping for being shameless, and Lord Zhaoping scolded Princess Yi'an for meddling in other people's business.
Although these two people were swearing at each other, the words they used were quite polite. Listening to such a quarrel was like listening to gossip and was quite interesting.
However, Miao Rui and Bigo were too active. Before Liu Tan could hear enough, the door was kicked open.
Liu Tan curled his lips and planned to go back to sleep, but he didn't expect that neither Miao Rui nor Big Gao could stop the two men.
As soon as he turned around, he heard shouts of fighting and killing from behind. He turned around and saw a figure running towards him at high speed. Before he could react, he bumped into him and grabbed his waist while he was not paying attention, shouting, "Brother, help!"
Liu Tan took several steps back before he could steady himself. Before he could say anything, he heard Princess Yi'an say murderously, "Let me go!"
When Liu Tan looked up, he saw Princess Yi'an standing in the yard holding a mace.
Liu Tan: ???
Wait, where did the mace come from?
There is no need to think about the person being hunted by Princess Yi'an, it must be Lord Zhaoping.
Zhao Pingjun shuddered noticeably after hearing what Princess Yi'an said. Then, he turned around with Liu Tan still holding his waist, and came behind him. When he felt safe, he stood up straight, stood on tiptoe, and stretched his head over Liu Tan's shoulder, staring with wide eyes and said, "Brother, look at this fierce woman!"
Liu Tan closed his eyes and squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Let go."
Zhao Pingjun shrank his neck: "I won't!"
Liu Tan felt that even if this person was Chen Ajiao's nephew, he could not give him this face.
He reached out and grabbed Zhao Pingjun's wrist, finding the right position and pinching it. Zhao Pingjun's scream instantly rose to the sky.
This time, Zhao Pingjun had to let go. Liu Tan turned around, grabbed his collar and threw him out.
In fact, Liu Tan originally wanted to do an over-the-shoulder throw, but he restrained himself. However, Zhao Pingjun was probably too useless, and Liu Tan didn't have to use much strength and he fell to the ground.
When Princess Yi'an saw him leave Liu Tan, she picked up her mace and wanted to beat him. Miao Rui, who was standing by, quickly ordered the maid to stop Princess Yi'an.
Zhao Pingjun covered his wrist and looked at Liu Tan in shock. He was not shocked that Liu Tan threw him out, but was shocked at how the legendary King of the North could be so powerful?
Didn't they say he was weak? Didn't they say he couldn't even draw a bow? If he didn't think Liu Tan's fighting skills were low, he wouldn't be so presumptuous!
However, Liu Tan's low martial arts value is due to comparison. The people he is compared with are Liu Che and Lu Xuan.
There's no need to talk about Lu Xuan, as nomadic peoples are born with some advantages. As for Liu Che... just look at the muscles on Liu Che's body and you'll know that there are only a few people in the entire Han Dynasty who can surpass him in martial arts skills.
As for the people around Liu Tan, not to mention the military generals, Jiang Chong was able to escape to Chang'an while being hunted by Liu Dan, the former crown prince of Zhao. If this man was a little weaker, he would have died long ago.
Huo Guang was raised by Liu Che, which was no different from raising a son, so the standards were naturally high.
Being surrounded by these people every day, of course everyone would say that the King of the North is good in everything except martial arts.
As a result, many people were misled, and Zhaoping Jun was one of them.
Even if Liu Tan said that he couldn't beat anyone, he couldn't beat the weak Zhao Pingjun.
"That's enough." Liu Tan's face darkened, and he tossed his sleeves and said, "If you want to make trouble, I'll take you to the palace to make trouble with my father, the emperor, and my mother, okay?"
Princess Yi'an and Lord Zhaoping both shuddered. Waking up the sleeping Emperor and Empress at this hour? And for such a trivial matter? Even if they had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare.
Seeing that they had become obedient, Liu Tan was too lazy to say anything and turned around and walked towards the bedroom.
When he passed by the bronze mirror after returning, he found that he was now in a disheveled state. His hair had just been dried and he didn't tie it up because he was going to sleep. He was wearing comfortable and loose pajamas, and the collar was exposed when Zhao Pingjun pulled it.
Liu Tan was so angry that he wanted to order Miao Rui to kick the man out.
Miao Rui and Bigo saw that their prince was on the verge of exploding at any moment, so they immediately sent the two back to their respective courtyards, and arranged several burly men to guard the door like prisoners. No one was allowed to come out until the prince got up tomorrow morning.
In fact, Liu Tan did not sleep well that night. After waking up the next morning, he immediately washed up and ordered: "Bring them here and enter the palace with me."
He couldn't have such an unstable partner. He didn't believe that the Chen family would only have such a useless person left.
Although he was angry, he still maintained basic hospitality and let the two of them have breakfast.
When Princess Yi'an and Lord Zhaoping heard that they were going to enter the palace, they immediately behaved themselves and repeatedly said that they would never do that again.
After hearing this, Liu Tan sneered and said nothing. As the saying goes, it is difficult to change one's nature even if it is difficult to change the country. Today, he must let Chen Ajiao know what kind of person his nephew is. Don't even think about cooperating with him!
So in the end, Lord Zhaoping was practically forced onto the carriage. As for Princess Yi'an, Liu Tan turned to her and said, "I'll explain this matter clearly to the Queen Mother. Princess, please don't go."
If she really gets there, Princess Yi'an will definitely not gain any benefit. What if Lord Zhaoping scolds her like a fierce woman and she explodes again?
Princess Yi'an lowered her eyes and sighed deeply after hearing this: "I'm doing this for his own good. He... has always been so tactless. What will happen if he continues like this? I talk to him, but he won't listen. I hit him, but he still won't listen."
There is one more thing Princess Yian didn't say. Now everyone is considering the Queen's face, and even tolerates him because of the King of the Northern Territory. If one day his crimes become intolerable to everyone, how many people will add insult to injury?
Liu Tan turned to Princess Yi'an and said, "If you can't do anything about it, you should get out of this fire pit as soon as possible."
After saying that, he got on the carriage. Princess Yian stood there quietly and watched them leave. She was so gentle and quiet, not at all like the female bandit who was shouting for war and killing.
