there is a king in the palace

Chapter 34

When the king came back, he was holding a wet handkerchief in his hand and a piece of pastry in his other hand.

"Where did it come from?"

The king smiled and handed him the handkerchief, explaining the origin of the pastry, "I just went to the kitchen to ask for water, and a lady gave it to me."

Zhao Xianao sneered while wiping his hands.

It seems that Little Fat Tiger won't starve to death with this deceptive face.

The king took a big bite of the pastry, and at the same time grabbed the rouge box on the table and stuffed it into his arms.

He didn't look inside at all, and he didn't know what Rouge looked like, he just heard people say that it was Rouge, and he picked a beautiful box in the past.

Zhao Xianao watched him put away the rouge box and heaved a sigh of relief.

After a while, the dishes were ready.

It was rare for Zhao Xianao not to worry about government affairs, so he ordered a jug of wine.

His Majesty saw him holding chopsticks, eating vegetables like a fish in water, drinking wine comfortably, holding a spoon, and his eyes were extremely greedy.

Noticing the look in his eyes, Zhao Xianao laughed at him, "You don't know how to use chopsticks, silly."

The king admitted that he was stupid, and without any excuse, he approached obsequiously, "Your Majesty, teach me..."

Zhao Xianao was waiting for these words. He pulled the chair the king was sitting on to his side, naturally hugged the king tightly, and held his fleshy hand, "Look, if you want so."

His Majesty didn't notice how strange their posture was at this moment, he was concentrating on learning how to use chopsticks, but Zhao Xianao was absent-minded in teaching, all his attention was on His long eyelashes and the faint scent of grass on his body.

It turns out that if you like him, you will really feel that he is fragrant and soft, and you want to hug him.

But in just half a stick of incense, the king was able to pick up the peanuts calmly.

"I will! Your Majesty, you are such a good Majesty!"

As soon as the teacher left, the king moved back to his original position, and used his newly mastered skills to set off a bloody storm on the table,

Zhao Xianao rubbed his palms, and suddenly showed a warm smile like a spring breeze, "Do you want a drink?"

"Yes!"

A fledgling tiger spirit has a curiosity that ordinary people can't imagine, and under this curiosity hides fearless courage.

"It's a bit spicy, you should taste a little first." Zhao Xianao said in a high-sounding manner to taste a little, but poured a full glass of wine for the king very kindly.

The king picked up the wine glass, put it under his nose, sniffed it, and frowned.

The taste was not as good as he imagined, but after staying by Zhao Xianao's side for so long, the king also knew that he was very picky, it was not because he didn't put good things in his mouth.

This must be delicious.

The king drank half a cup in one gulp.

"Well!"

"Swallow it! This wine is expensive."

The king gritted his teeth and swallowed it hard, the tip of his hot tongue was numb, his stomach felt like it was on fire, his white and tender cheeks were flushed with an attractive peach-like blush, he hung out his tongue, and kept shaking his head.

Zhao Xianao held a piece of meat for him, and said softly, "Squeeze it."

The king didn't even have time to use his chopsticks, he grabbed the meat and put it into his mouth.

Chewing and chewing, his eyes lit up a little.

The spicy wine still has an aftertaste in his mouth, mixed with the salty and juicy beef, it produces a unique taste, refreshing and not greasy, with a long aftertaste, when he swallows the meat, what is left in his mouth is rice of sweetness.

"how?"

"Hehehe...delicious..." The king drank alcohol for the first time, but after only one sip, he was already slightly tipsy, and looked at Zhao Xianao in a daze, his eyes were a bit hazy when looking at Zhao Xianao.

Zhao Xianao shook his head, it was a pity that this fragrance is elegant and mellow... Well, it is a valuable "beauty song".

Just when Zhao Xianao was going to have a good drink with him, the king became hot, he raised his hand to take off his sable hat, and put it on the stool beside him in a decent manner.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Zhao Xianao suddenly coughed violently, covered his mouth, his face flushed red.

Not for anything else, just for a pair of round tiger ears that popped out of the king's head like a magic trick.

The king was so dazed that he didn't notice it, he stared straight at "Beauty Song", "Your Majesty, I have a headache...this wine...is poisonous."

As soon as the words fell, his head slammed on the table, and there was no more movement.

Zhao Xianao carefully observed his body, and after confirming that there was no other change except the pair of ears, Zhao Xianao was slightly relieved.

so far so good.

But can the ears go back?

Zhao Xianao stood in front of the king, bent down and pinched his ears and rubbed them lightly.

so amazing……

The king who was already drunk suddenly sat up, Baozi's face was wrinkled, and he pushed his hand away very unhappy, "Oh... don't move."

"I touch it."

The king's eyes were a little erratic, as if he was looking at him, his expression was very serious, "Don't touch it... touch it again, I'll eat you..."

……

When the king woke up, he found himself lying sideways on the seat of the carriage, with his head resting on Zhao Xianao's thigh. He rubbed his eyes and said hoarsely, "Have you returned to the palace?"

Zhao Xianao poked his forehead, "I woke up quite quickly, do you remember how I fell down?"

The king sat up and nodded, "Alcohol is poisonous."

It can be seen that from then on, he doesn't remember.

"Alcohol is not poisonous, you are just drunk, do you have a headache?"

The king touched his head, his hat was still on, "It doesn't hurt."

Zhao Xianao smiled, "The recovery is fast."

I don't know who couldn't stand up just now, he was carried out from the mountain building, he doesn't look fat, he has a lot of flesh, Zhao Xianao almost threw him off the stairs when he went downstairs.

"Are we going back to the palace now?"

"Why, haven't you played enough?"

The king didn't answer, he lowered his head and took out the rouge box from his pocket, seeing that there was no problem, he took it back again.

Zhao Xianao cleared his throat unnaturally, and moved his gaze out of the car window,

Already entered the palace.

As soon as he got back to the palace, the king hurriedly changed into the eunuch uniform, and ran to the tea house, "Aunt Huixin~"

Before the king entered the courtyard, the voice came first.

Hui Xin put down the things in her hands and went out to greet her, "Where did you go this day?"

"I, I left the palace with Director Li." The king held the rouge box and handed it to Hui Xin with a smile, "Look, what I brought you~"

Seeing that it was rouge, Aunt Huixin's heart warmed up. She just casually said that day that she had run out of rouge, but she didn't expect to be remembered by this heartless child.

When Aunt Huixin opened the rouge box, the king's smile froze on his face.

"Huh?! This, is there nothing in it?"

Aunt Hui Xin burst out laughing, "You didn't look at it when you bought it?"

The king scratched his head in embarrassment, "I obviously heard that person selling rouge powder..."

Rouge, who disappeared out of thin air, became a mystery that will be buried forever.

The day of Chinese New Year is getting closer and closer, and finally there is good news from the palace. The epidemic situation of the people in Duzhou City has been brought under control. 50 people have fully recovered, and the remaining people with more severe epidemics are gradually improving. He and the prime minister will return to Chang'an with the Governor of Duzhou and all the officials involved in the case.

The red lanterns in Chang'an City, which had been extinguished for several days, were lit again, and the lights in Chang'an were full of joy. The people of Chang'an at the foot of the imperial city were extremely sensitive to politics. After dinner, the people talked about the heroic deeds of King Duan.

For example, how King Duan ate and lived with the people suffering from the epidemic, how he read ancient books without rest to find a cure for the plague, and how he punished the governor of Duzhou who ignored the lives of the people.

In short, when it comes to Duan Wang, no one says a bad one.

Now, King Duan, who is known by the common people as a millionaire, stood in the council hall with a bloodless face, and told the emperor every word of all the evil deeds of the Governor of Duzhou.

Zhao Xianao sat on the top seat, and after listening to it, he looked coldly at the trembling Governor of Duzhou below, "cut off the limbs, parade them in the street, hang them at the Meridian Gate, and leave the dead body for seven days. All three clans were exiled to the northwest."

The king stood aside, feeling cold all over when he heard it.

After Zhao Xianao finished speaking, the Imperial Forest Army at the side pulled down the governor of Duzhou, and the governor of Duzhou who was about to have his limbs cut off kept on thanking Huangen.

He thanked the emperor for not implicating the nine clans.

Seeing him being dragged down, Zhao Xianao turned his head and smiled at King Duan, "King Duan really did a lot of hard work on this trip."

Zhao Xianyong didn't smile, but knelt down on the ground directly, "It's the duty of the younger brother."

"There are no outsiders, no need to be polite, give me a seat."

Mr. Li pushed the king next to him, and said in a low voice, "Move the chair."

"Oh!" The king was still immersed in Zhao Xian'ao's casual sentence, and he was pushed back by Mr. Li. He ran to move the chair, and when sending it to Zhao Xianyong, he accidentally tripped over his left foot and tripped over his right foot. On the ground, even the person and the wooden chair fell on Zhao Xianyong.

He was already pale and on the verge of falling, but after being hit like this, he fell to the ground as soon as he stood up, and then his eyes fell on Zhao Xianao.

Zhao Xianao was also very speechless, those who didn't know thought they were colluding to deliberately punish Zhao Xianyong.

Director Li hurried to help Zhao Xianyong, "Prince Duan, are you okay, the little eunuch is unsteady, so he didn't hurt you."

Duan Wang's expression remained unchanged, he waved his hand, "No problem."

After King Duan sat on the chair, he glanced at the king. For some reason, he suddenly thought of the tiger who was recuperating outside the palace. He wanted to ask about the tiger's recent situation, but the words came to his lips and swallowed again. .

"Is Duan Wang unwell?"

"My brother, everything is fine."

An Hao is strange.

Seeing Wang Duan's sickly appearance, Zhao Xianao was not as happy as before.

He thought, maybe he didn't care as much about that matter as before.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhao Xianao asked Zhao Xianyong to go back to the residence to rest, and took the king back to the imperial study to continue reviewing the memorials.

Soon, Zhao Xianao discovered that the little fat tiger always looked at him with a fearful look.

"If you have something to say, just say it."

The king couldn't hold back any longer, he leaned over cautiously and asked, "Your Majesty, that king said... Dudou governor... Duzhou governor, bullying the king, the crime is heinous, the slave wants to ask, bullying the king, is it true?" What's the meaning?"

Zhao Xianao smiled, "How do you understand that?"

"Do you mean to deceive you?"

"Well, children can be taught."

The king was not happy about being praised at all, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, "Then, if you are lied to, you will have your limbs cut off, and you will be violent... for seven days..."

Only then did Zhao Xianao realize that he was frightened.

It was his fault that he shouldn't have been frightened like that all the time.

"It depends on the degree of deception, I, it's still very reasonable."

"How much? Uh... just lied to the emperor, but didn't do other bad things, what kind of level is this?"

Zhao Xianao's smile is very gentle and harmless, even his tone is extremely gentle, "As the saying goes, knowing your mistakes can make a big difference. If it is this level, tell me the truth as soon as possible, not only will I not punish you , and rewards will be given.”

After hearing this, the king went to the side to ponder with a pensive expression.
