Unexpectedly, Consort Zhe has fallen for His Majesty and wants to…
But His Majesty was unwilling; he regarded her as his own sister. He had long planned that when he ascended the throne, he would give Consort Zhe a glorious birth, marry her off, and support her for the rest of her life.
Unexpectedly, after Consort Zhe found out, she actually poisoned His Majesty's food and climbed into His Majesty's bed...
But it only happened that one time. After His Majesty ascended the throne, he bestowed upon her the title of Consort Zhe, but never saw her again.
In summary, Consort Zhe was His Majesty's benefactor, but at the same time, she was someone His Majesty disliked.
That's why His Majesty doesn't like Nantao.
"So that's how it is..."
Chi Tang nodded, but then she noticed something was wrong.
She frowned and asked, "You said His Majesty has never seen Consort Zhe since then, so how did Princess Nantao come to be here?"
Faced with Chi Tang's persistent questioning, Huo Chenyi felt quite helpless, but he couldn't bear to refuse, so he could only tell her the truth.
"Seven years ago, Consort Zhe lied that she was about to die and begged to see His Majesty one last time, and then..."
"Did you drug His Majesty again?" Chi Tang was speechless. "How could His Majesty fall for the same thing and the same person twice?"
This doesn't fit His Majesty's image of being wise and powerful at all.
Huo Chenyi doesn't actually like gossiping with people, especially about his elders.
But facing Chi Tang...
He really couldn't refuse at all.
"His Majesty trusted Consort Zhe very much, and with the suddenness of the incident, he thought Consort Zhe was really going to... At that time, Consort Zhe had been quiet for ten years, who knew that she would suddenly... Anyway, Nan Tao came into being after that."
Although His Majesty never punished Consort Zhe for this incident, he never saw her again afterward.
Three years ago, Consort Zhe was truly dying and wanted to see His Majesty, but His Majesty no longer believed her. So…
His Majesty feels both disgust and gratitude towards Consort Zhe, but towards Princess Nantao, he is even more unable to face her, therefore…
Chi Tang blinked: "This is really like crying wolf."
"What?"
So Chi Tang gave the poor ancient people a lesson on the story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf".
After listening, Huo Chen nodded and said in a mature tone, "Tangtang's story is simple and easy to understand, yet it contains profound truths. It's very suitable for promotion."
"ah?"
"Tangtang, think of a few more stories, and we'll print them out so that children all over the world can hear these kinds of stories."
Chi Tang: ...
have to.
I've given myself more work to do.
After the two returned to the Princess's residence, Chi Tang said that they would return to Pinghe Town once there was news about Meng Kuo.
After all, she still needed to talk to her parents about being granted the title of princess and living in the capital from now on.
"By the way, Brother Chenyi, I've always wanted to ask you, does your uncle, Prince Anping, really intend to rebel?"
"Silence!"
Huo Chenyi was very sensitive to the word "rebellion," and his eyes immediately sharpened.
Chi Tang had never seen Huo Chenyi like this before and was startled.
"Tangtang, I'm sorry. Brother Chenyi wasn't being mean to you. It's just that you can't say those two words, understand?"
Noticing the change in Chi Tang's eyes, Huo Chenyi immediately apologized obediently and squeezed her little hand.
Chi Tang nodded to indicate that she understood.
“Prince Anping… has probably had this idea for a long time.”
After all, many of the pieces were placed many years ago.
To this day, he still doesn't understand how his mother knew that his uncle, Prince Anping, harbored ill intentions.
"Brother Chenyi, you must be careful. Especially since Prince Anping was so close to you and His Highness before, don't let anyone use this against you."
"Don't worry, I know."
Huo Chen thought for a moment and then said, "You don't need to worry about the mansion. You are a first-rank princess, and His Majesty will visit the mansion next time."
Wow? Really?
"Not only will there be a mansion, but also a fiefdom and silver."
There's another guess, but he's not sure, so he'd better not say it for now.
To avoid the Chi family being disappointed if we guess wrong.
Chi Tang's eyes were already shining: "Your Majesty is so generous, I like it."
"You little brat."
"By the way, are the people from the Ministry of Finance sent by Longmen County reliable?"
Since it was a place managed by her second brother and a place she had poured her heart and soul into, Chi Tang was still very concerned about it.
Huo Chenyi was also concerned, so he pulled Chi Tang to the study and pointed to a certain place, saying, "These are the current situations in Longmen County. Take your time to look at them."
I still have some things to finish, so I have to go back now. When I get back, I'll take you out to play, okay?
If it weren't for Tangtang's arrival, and his special plea to his uncle, he wouldn't have been able to come out at this time.
Chi Tang sat obediently on the stool, shaking her head adorably: "Okay!"
The people in the manor were all long-time residents who knew how to treat Chi Tang, so Huo Chenyi left with peace of mind.
However, I gave them one last instruction before leaving.
He had been thinking about Tangtang because she lived far away.
But even now that Tangtang is by his side, he still can't rest easy.
Chi Tang stayed in the study for a while, studying it carefully, and found that the people sent by the Ministry of Finance to Longmen County had done a really good job.
Yes, Longmen County is a pilot area.
Emperor Huiwu was eager to make the Longmen County pilot project a success. Those who were transferred to the Ministry of Finance were all quick-witted and naturally wouldn't want to court death.
If you put in your best effort and demonstrate exceptional skill, you're bound to achieve results.
Chi Tang watched for a full hour, until she got hungry, then jumped off the stool and decided to go out to find something to eat.
But as soon as he stepped out of the study, he heard a commotion outside, as if a man and a woman were arguing.
The woman's voice sounded somewhat familiar, but Chi Tang couldn't remember who it was even after thinking for a while.
"Miss, the ones arguing over there are the eldest son..." Xiao Lan whispered a reminder.
But before she could finish speaking, Chi Tang, taking it for granted, waved her hand and interrupted her:
"I know, it must be a maid from the Princess's residence. I wonder who the man is? Could he be a guard from the Princess's residence?"
Xiao Hong chimed in, "Don't disturb Miss's eavesdropping."
"Shh, shut up!" Chi Tang whispered.
Xiao Lan: ……
Miss, you'll regret this.
real.
“...I told you, after we return to the capital, you are not allowed to be so close to me.”
The woman's voice sounded somewhat annoyed.
The man's voice was somewhat nonchalant, "You are my woman, my wife, why can't I be intimate with you?"
"Lan Ling! Don't forget what you promised me!" The woman's voice suddenly rose.
Chi Tang clicked her tongue and couldn't help but comment, "This maid dares to argue so loudly in the Princess's residence. She's got some nerve."
"If I don't agree, will you take me back to the capital?"
"You dare lie to me? You... Ugh! Bastard!"
Then came a series of sucking sounds.
Chi Tang: ...?
