Because this Plum Blossom Villa belongs to the emperor, or to be more precise, to the late emperor. The late emperor spent the first half of his life as a bird in captivity. He lived in the lies woven for him by slaves, ministers, and dignitaries, confused and ignorant, until one day, he discovered the vast world outside.
Only then did he realize that behind those cries of "Long live the emperor" were endless lies.
He used to think that the people of Tianxia lived a rich and comfortable life like the people in the inner city of Beijing.
Until he saw the people who were starving, cold, poorly clothed and hungry.
Those who died of starvation and freezing...
The late emperor was greatly shocked.
He truly realized that he was living a lie.
He struggled to climb out of the ivory tower.
He spent some money to adopt a group of orphans and trained them to be secret guards.
That is, people like Lin San.
Chaotang, he wanted to do something at first.
But he was a fool and he could never outsmart those people.
What should I do?
Fortunately, he has money.
Even if he doesn't have it, there are some in the palace. Those priceless treasures will be useless if they are just left there, but what if they are sold?
It is always easier for the emperor to do something than for ordinary people.
The previous emperor bought and sold a lot of good things and made a lot of money. Since he couldn't outwit those court officials, he could at least beat them, so he secretly raised an army.
At first there were very few people.
Later, more and more people came.
But there is not enough money.
Thus, Meihua Villa was born.
The people outside only know that everything is sold here, and that the person behind the scenes has all-knowing eyes. Even the shopkeeper here doesn't know who the boss behind the scenes is.
In the eyes of those powerful clans, the late emperor was strong and tough, but he was just a caged tiger.
No matter how ferocious the tiger is, it cannot get out of the cage and can only show its fangs and claws at them, but it cannot pose any threat.
All they had to do was keep him alive and feed him meat regularly.
As for the tiger, he himself is not capable, so he chooses a little tiger who is smarter than him as his successor.
He just didn't believe that the kingdom of his ancestors could be preserved by fighting for it.
…
The Chu man named Achen was raised in Meihua Villa.
Now that he was clean and had a good meal, he had gained some weight and his face looked incredibly pretty.
No wonder it was put up for sale in Meihua Villa.
The emperor found a chair to sit on, and Ah Chen knelt beside him with his head half lowered.
The emperor studied his features.
"Tell me about your origins."
Ah Chen paused and repeated what he had said countless times in the past few days.
"Sir, my mother is a prostitute, and I grew up in a brothel..."
The emperor narrowed his eyes and asked, "A brothel in Chu State wants men?"
He really didn't know.
In fact, there were men in Daxia's brothels, otherwise Ah Chen would not have been "taken away from the table", but the emperor was not very clear about it.
Ah Chen nodded and smiled bitterly: "For convenience, I have been pretending to be a girl since I was young. When I grow up, the brothel will sell me."
The room is very quiet.
After a long time, the emperor took out a bottle of perfume and gave it to him.
"Smell it."
Ah Chen took it, smelled it and said, "I've smelled it before. Only the top girls in the house can afford it. It's very expensive and was very popular for a while."
It turned out to be from a brothel.
That means the spy in the palace must have stayed in a brothel.
"The Oiran?"
Ah Chen nodded: "Not necessarily, but most of them are only the courtesans who can afford them."
The emperor asked no more questions.
Ah Chen was locked up again.
It was getting late and the emperor was too lazy to bother with anything else, so he decided to sleep here and leave tomorrow morning.
However, the idea is good.
But the reality is cruel.
Lin San got up early and saw the emperor enter the room with his own eyes, and then he saw the emperor go out with his own eyes. He used his ultimate move and disappeared in a flash after several teleportations.
Lin San yawned.
"Return to the palace."
When they followed him to the palace, the emperor had indeed returned.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? If you like the little maid, why don't you just take her in?"
The secret guards don't talk much, they want to be as silent as shadows.
But the secret guard couldn't help it, the emperor's behavior was really strange.
Lin San glanced at him and said, "Your Majesty likes it."
The man didn't dare to say anything more.
Lin San’s thoughts: That’s right, if the emperor likes the palace maid, he can just take her in. Why go through so much trouble?
I really don't understand him.
An Jiu dreamed that she went home and was working overtime, and her boss was standing behind her and staring at her.
She saw the emperor's face reflected back on the computer screen...
An Jiu was woken up by the slap.
In front of me is a handsome guy's face.
He is a tyrant.
"Why are you here? Didn't you leave the palace?"
An Jiu asked.
The tyrant nodded, then shook his head: "I'm hungry."
It turns out that he woke up because he was hungry.
Yes, it’s been a long time since I got up in the middle of the night to make food for him.
An Jiu put on her clothes, looked at the tyrant, and thought to herself that it would be great if she had a son as big and handsome as him in the future.
She stroked the tyrant's curly head.
“How cute.”
Curly hair is really super cute.
The tyrant stared at her in confusion, and the moment Anjiu's hair left his head, he lowered his head and kissed her face.
An Jiu: "..."
You also learn to give and take.
She touched her face and said without much technicality: "Don't kiss girls casually in the future."
The tyrant said, "Not casually."
Anjiu sighed.
never mind.
The two of them went to the kitchen.
An Jiu asked: "How about eating noodles?"
The tyrant squatted: "Okay."
Anjiu hasn’t cooked for a long time, and I’m very happy with what I cooked today.
The noodles are ready.
The two of them ate face to face.
The two people in the middle looked up at each other and couldn't help laughing again.
I don't know what he is laughing at.
After laughing for a while, An Jiu became a little dazed.
"Xiaojiu is unhappy." The tyrant said suddenly.
An Jiu nodded.
She was a little confused and a little uneasy, like duckweed on the water, always aimless.
Make money, save money, and don’t know why.
Anjiu sighed.
"I feel a little homesick."
The tyrant frowned slightly: "Where is Xiaojiu's home?"
"Very far away."
"Is that the State of Chu?"
An Jiu was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Is Chu State far away?"
"It's very far." The tyrant paused and said, "When Chu becomes part of Daxia, you can go home."
After saying that, he buried his head and continued to slurp his noodles.
An Jiu shook her head, treating his ambition as a joke.
"I am not from Chu."
This idiot.
…
After dawn, the emperor was numb.
He didn't rush to get up, but stared at the ceiling for a long time.
Then he looked at An Jiu, who was sleeping on his back and had squeezed himself to the side.
I am speechless...
He got up, and because the quilt was taken away, half of his shoulder was cold.
never mind……
This isn't his room either.
The emperor went out.
There is no wind.
It's a nice day today.
Nice weather...
Why not go see Prince Ruyang...
