Chapter 278 The Emperor is Really Unhuman
"Second brother, if you feed them any more, the fish will die." The Eighth Prince looked at the fish in the pond worriedly. He was surprised as he had never seen such fat fish before.
Prince Ming nodded perfunctorily and threw all the fish food in his hand away. Looking at the fish vying for food, the Eighth Prince's brows were furrowed into a lump.
When King Ming saw the Eighth Prince like this, his mood instantly improved. He walked a few steps to the north, trying to find a quiet place, but he heard voices coming from the rockery behind him.
"Don't think you can climb up the social ladder by following me into the palace." The woman's voice was filled with arrogance.
Another voice sounded cowardly: "I know."
"That's good to know." The arrogant woman said, "Don't follow me later. It's embarrassing."
"oh."
The arrogant woman snorted in disdain and walked away.
King Ming sneered, how boring, there is no shortage of women like this everywhere.
Not long after, a figure appeared. The reason why I say appeared was because it was really a figure. This was a very slender and frail woman, who looked as if she had not eaten for a long time. She was wearing ill-fitting clothes and had to lift the hem of her skirt when she walked. She did not notice the presence of Ming Wang, walked to the edge of the pond, exhaled a long breath, and stared at the fish in the pond. She seemed to be startled by the fat fish in the pond, opened her eyes wide, and said to herself: "You are so fat, I envy you."
She also touched her dry face.
King Ming shook his head in disgust and was about to leave when the woman heard the noise, turned her head and looked over. She didn't say anything, but just stared at King Ming.
Ming Wang frowned in disgust and turned away.
When Prince Ming came back, the atmosphere in the garden was still weird. There were two girls sitting next to Concubine Shu, who were dressed in colorful clothes and looked similar. They must be the candidates favored by Concubine Shu.
Just as Ming Wang thought, one of these two people was smiling, and the other was forcing a smile...
and……
As soon as the woman with a forced smile opened her mouth, King Ming recognized her voice as the arrogant woman from before.
Haha, this is really climbing up the ladder.
"My Queen Mother, who are these two girls..." Prince Ming asked even though he knew the answer.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Shu smiled and patiently explained the identities of the two girls. Neither of their families were prominent. The one who was forcing a smile was indeed the one for Prince Jing.
The Ming King died of laughter.
"Second brother, what are you laughing at?" The Eighth Prince looked at the unhappy Queen Mother, the gentle Concubine Shu, the absent-minded Concubine De, the Concubine Shu who looked like she was enjoying the show, and the calm Emperor. He suddenly felt that this was a ridiculous farce, and he was a fool who could not understand this farce.
He wanted to go back to the temple.
Ming Wang was fed up with these people, so he stood up and said, "I'm going to go out for a walk."
The Eighth Prince scratched his head: "Didn't he just arrive?"
Ming Wang: "Can't I leave right after I got here?"
The Eighth Prince: “Yes…”
Did my second brother take the wrong medicine? He is so angry~
Concubine Shu had a candidate in mind, and after the banquet, she went to test the reactions of the two girls' families.
She was naturally very happy to be chosen as Princess Duan. This was a great thing, and the girl also agreed. As for Princess Jing...
She is the daughter of Minister Liu of the Ministry of Revenue. Minister Liu is considered to be doing well, but he is only a minor official in the capital. The Liu family is just a second-rate family. They are eager to squeeze into the upper class circle of the capital.
If their daughter could become the Princess of Jing, that would be their first step towards the powerful circle of the capital...
Minister Liu's family agreed.
The rise and fall of a family is more important than sacrificing a woman's happiness.
After hearing the news, King Ming laughed sarcastically. People in the world love fame, wealth and status, and they don't seem to care even if they have to marry a dying person.
…
"So fast?" An Jiu looked at the emperor in surprise. He had just chosen the person, and he was already proposing marriage?
"The wedding will be on the eighth day of next month," the emperor said without raising his head.
An Jiu frowned and suddenly thought of something.
"Is it because of Prince Jing's health?"
What is this? A wedding before death?
The emperor nodded: "Concubine Shu said that if something happened to Prince Jing, she hoped he could leave a child behind."
An Jiu frowned again: "But this is unfair to the newly married Princess Jing."
The emperor didn't think so.
"The Liu family agreed to it themselves." The emperor sneered, "It's nothing more than fame and fortune. There's no loss or benefit."
For both Prince Jing and Miss Liu, this was just a transaction.
【Xiaojiu is kind.】
An Jiu thought about it and agreed that this was true. Moreover, judging from Miss Liu's reaction at the banquet that day, she was obviously targeting Prince Duan, but she accidentally became Prince Jing's Consort.
but……
An Jiu always felt that something was a little strange: "Prince Jing is in a hurry, there is no need to bring Prince Duan with him, right?"
The emperor finally looked up and looked at An Jiu with a smile.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" An Jiu asked in surprise.
The emperor smiled and said, "You are smart, Xiaojiu."
An Jiu paused and thought about what she had just said.
Prince Jing is in a hurry, so there is no need to bring Prince Duan along, right?
She thought that was fine.
The emperor only said: "I have also asked Concubine Shu, and she said that since they were both born in the same year and were both raised by her, if they were to get married, Concubine Shu hoped that they would be married on the same day."
"Do Prince Duan and Prince Jing agree?"
Prince Duan seemed very obedient, but what about Prince Jing? Did he just agree to it?
The emperor nodded: "I have asked, and they all agreed."
The emperor was silent for a while and suddenly said to An Jiu: "Xiao Jiu, what you just said is wrong."
An Jiu looked at him: "What's wrong?"
All I heard was the emperor say: "Perhaps it's not Prince Jing who is anxious, but Prince Duan."
An Jiu "?"
She couldn't understand this.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
The emperor pretended to be mysterious and said, "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed."
An Jiu pursed her lips.
This person is so annoying.
Why do you keep half of what you say?
She tried to listen to the emperor's inner thoughts, but the emperor didn't respond. When he was with An Jiu, he said and thought what he meant most of the time.
This made An Jiu feel both sweet and troubled.
When the emperor was about to go to bed at night, he still did not reveal any news. An Jiu was very unhappy. When he was about to fall asleep, An Jiu whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, just tell me, I promise not to tell anyone else."
The emperor opened his eyes and looked at her with amusement: "I am telling you now, if this matter is leaked in advance, you will also become a subject of suspicion."
After weighing the pros and cons, An Jiu smiled and said, "Actually, I'm not that curious..."
The emperor chuckled, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
An Jiu stared at him for a long time and sighed helplessly.
The little tyrant hasn't come for a long time. An Jiu really wants to know, will he never show up, or will he show up but not look for her?
So that day, she waited until the tyrant woke up.
He sneaked to the table, looked at the emperor's message, and tore up the note angrily.
【Unhappy, unhappy, unhappy. 】
【Angry, angry, angry.】
[Damn ghost, sooner or later I will break his legs. ]
An Jiu opened his eyes and saw only a tall and angry figure.
"His Majesty."
The voice in my heart stopped abruptly.
The tyrant's back stiffened. He slowly turned around and met An Jiu's puzzled face.
[It’s over, Xiaojiu found me.] The tyrant looked around and hid behind the table.
An Jiu was speechless: "Your Majesty, I thought you didn't come."
The tyrant poked his curly head out from behind the table and began to accuse the emperor of his evil deeds.
"The ghost won't let me talk." He felt more and more wronged as he spoke: "He said I almost killed you, and as a punishment, I was not allowed to see Xiaojiu for a month."
An Jiu "..."
This emperor really went too far.
"He also threatened to break my legs and told me to go out to work without even giving me food..."
He had been treated like an animal by the emperor for the past half month. He felt aggrieved and depressed. He was almost dead from aggrieved.
An Jiu "..."
The emperor is really not a human being. He even treats himself as a Japanese.
