The happy life of a prodigal

Just as Zhao Hao opened his mouth, he heard Concubine Shu scold him.

Then, hurriedly pulling Zhao Hao's arm, he was about to kneel down.

"Your Majesty, Hao'er is still young, so he speaks freely..."

"What do you say..."

Emperor Chu was slightly startled, looked at Concubine Shu in front of him, was startled for a moment, then seemed to think of something, waved his hand, and said: "I thought it was something.

It's just an old saying, Xin'anbo is Hao'er's master, it's human nature to teach him some principles, but you, Concubine Shu, are a little too cautious.

Well, get up, the ground is cold..."

When Concubine Shu heard this, she raised her eyes and glanced at Emperor Chu. Seeing his expression, she understood that His Majesty really didn't think too much, so she got up from the ground.

"A concubine is just...just..."

"Needless to say, I understand everything."

The Emperor Chu waved his hands, looked at the somewhat 'confused' Zhao Hao, smiled on his face, and said: "Hao'er said very well, let's continue, governing a big country is like cooking a small fish, and then what? Father, listen... ...."

Zhao Hao also seemed to understand something at this time, lowered his head, looked at his toes, and said a little uneasy: "Father, did my son say something wrong?"

Seeing this scene, Emperor Chu seemed to have thought of something, and his expression froze slightly.

Immediately, the smile was restored in an instant, and he stretched out his hand to grab Zhao Hao's little hand, and said in a kind tone: "Hao'er did not say or do anything wrong, it was my mother and concubine who were wrong.

It's nothing, didn't Hao'er just want to talk about how to cook porridge?

Father wants to hear..."

Hearing this, Zhao Hao smiled again, raised his eyes, looked at his father, and continued: "Master said that governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. To understand this truth.

That is, many things in the world cannot be done as quickly as possible.

After Erchen returned to the palace, he was thinking about what Master said. Since Master said so, there must be a reason for him, so when Erchen cooked the porridge, he deliberately turned the heat to a low temperature, let the fire burn slowly, and the porridge slowed down. Boil slowly...

Then sister Xiu'er told Erchen that if you want the porridge to have a rich flavor, you must add eggs, and only use egg yolks, and throw away the egg whites.

Erchen found eggs, but couldn't separate the yolk from the white.

So, Erchen went to the imperial dining room, and asked the master chefs in the imperial dining room to help Erchen separate the eggs.

The master chefs in the imperial dining room told Erchen that there were no more eggs. At this time, Erchen saw crabs in the imperial dining room.

Erchen remembered that when eating crabs in the past, the crabs were also yellow. Erchen asked the master chefs to help Erchen separate the yellow from the crabs, and then bring them back and add them to the porridge...

Erchen didn't expect that the sweet-scented osmanthus porridge with crab yolk was more delicious than the sweet-scented osmanthus porridge made by sister Xiuer..."

Chapter 396 The Remnants of the Poison Gu Sect

When Emperor Chu heard these words, a thoughtful expression appeared on his old face.

"Father, my son wants to go out of the palace to see Master, is that okay?"

At this time, Zhao Hao raised his head, looked at his father with a cute face, and asked in a low voice.

Hearing his voice, Emperor Chu stopped thinking, looked at his youngest child, with a warm smile on his face, and said, "It's getting dark, it's not too late to go tomorrow."

Zhao Hao shook his head, and said solemnly: "Master said that today's affairs are over today. Since I have cooked such porridge, I should tell sister Xiu'er now, instead of waiting until tomorrow."

After hearing this, Emperor Chu couldn't help laughing, and really wanted to say: Didn't your master teach you just now, didn't you do everything as quickly and urgently as possible?

However, after thinking about it, he swallowed those words back. He looked at Liu Cheng behind him, and ordered: "Liu Cheng, you will send the prince to Anpingbo's mansion later, and let Xin'anbo take good care of the prince. After a few days Day, I will send someone to pick him up again."

Liu Cheng was slightly startled when he heard this, and then said respectfully, "Your servant understands."

Zhao Hao was also taken aback, and only then did he realize that his father actually allowed him to leave the palace, and it wasn't the kind that he had to come back that night, his little face instantly turned red.

Excited and excited: "My son, thank you, father, thank you, father!"

After finishing speaking, he rushed to the palace, picked up a few crabs that had been tied up, and was about to run out.

Halfway through the run, he seemed to remember something, turned back, stood upright in front of Emperor Chu and Concubine Shu, saluted respectfully, and said with a smile: "I will return to the palace in a few days. , father and concubine should not miss Erchen too much, Erchen is gone!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and ran out of the palace.

"This kid..."

Seeing this scene, Concubine Shu also showed a smile on her face.

Looking at the back of Zhao Hao leaving, Chu Huang also smiled.

However, with a smile, he seemed to have thought of something, and his face became gloomy again. He looked at Liu Cheng who was saluting himself and was about to follow Hao'er, and ordered: "After sending Hao'er to Xin'anbo Mansion, you can go there for a while." Go to Kang Wang's mansion and let that little bastard of Kang Wang come to see me!"

Hearing this, Liu Cheng was not too surprised. He nodded and said respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

As a close minister of Emperor Chu, Liu Cheng understood Emperor Chu's thoughts better than anyone else.

When he was in the Nuan Pavilion before, when His Majesty learned that Kang Wang was going to hold a birthday banquet, his expression was a little unhappy.

At this moment, seeing the little prince's performance, in comparison, he was naturally even more dissatisfied, and it was reasonable to summon King Kang.

After Emperor Chu ordered, the depression and anger in his heart increased even more.

When he thought of what happened just now, Kang Wang wanted to hold a birthday party, he became very angry.

Not only the birthday banquet itself, but more importantly, he wanted to hold the birthday banquet.

Anyone, even a country bumpkin on the side of the road, knows that after something bad happens to him, he needs to calm down for a while.

One is to eliminate the impression of the people in the capital on this incident, and the other is to reflect on what is wrong with what they have done and how to correct it.

But... At this time, what kind of birthday party is he going to hold!

What does this mean?

Don't repent!

He still clearly remembered how Kang Wang knelt in front of him when he was in the Nuan Pavilion, crying that he knew his mistake.

At that time, he thought it was true feelings, but he didn't expect...

Thinking of this, Emperor Chu became even more angry.

However, no amount of anger turned into a sigh after all: "I think back then, King Kang and King Ning were as simple as Hao'er, as cute as Hao'er, although not as smart as Hao'er, But it is also praised by the masters of the Hanlin Academy.

Now... how did it become like this. "

On the side, Concubine Shu was a little embarrassed when she heard this.

After all, King Kang and King Ning were not her children, so it was not good to say anything.

After thinking about it, he comforted him: "Both King Kang and King Ning are good boys, but they were deceived and took some detours. Your Majesty is kind enough to teach them, and I believe they can walk on the right path."

When Emperor Chu heard this, he looked up at Concubine Shu, smiled, and said, "You are in a good mood."

Concubine Shu showed embarrassment and did not speak.

Seeing this, Emperor Chu didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and asked, "Have you never thought about letting Hao'er take over the big job?"

After Concubine Shu heard this, her expression didn't change much, she said frankly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Hao'er is too young..."

When Emperor Chu heard these words, he didn't know what he thought of. With a melancholy expression on his face, he nodded and replied, "Hao'er is indeed too young..."

Speaking of this, it stopped abruptly. There seemed to be something to say later, but after all, there was no way out.

............

King Kang's Mansion, the main hall.

Kang Wang looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, with a look of deep fear on his face, and asked, "You are the demon girl of the Poison Gu Sect!?"

When the woman heard the word 'demon girl', her charming and pretty face showed playfulness, she took a step forward, looked down at King Kang in front of her, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect His Highness King Kang to know so much about the Poison Gu sect." A lot..."

This sentence is not admitted, but it is not denied.

After Kang Wang heard this, he was sure in his heart.

The person in front of me was one of the two 'saints' of the Poison Gu Sect, the largest force in the southwest besides the chieftain.

I heard that when the imperial court suppressed the Poison Gu Sect, they were merciless at all.

There are also some high-ranking chieftains who survived because they submitted to the imperial court and were not slaughtered. They are still doing well in the southwest.

However, regarding the Poison Gu faction, the court's attitude is very resolute, leaving no future troubles!

It's a pity...even if the two royal families were mobilized to enshrine, they still couldn't completely wipe out the Poison Gu faction.

As a result, many remnants of the Poison Gu Sect were left behind.

In many places in Chu State, they are doing things that threaten the court.

Of course, there is no doubt that most of these places are in the southwest boundary.

According to legend, before being enshrined and killed by the royal family, the top leaders of the Poison Gu Sect established two saintesses, hoping that they could lead the Poison Gu Sect to overthrow the imperial court's rule in the southwest and rebuild the original chieftain.

However, both the factory guards and the Ministry of Justice only knew that there were two saintesses. Of course, in the eyes of the imperial court, they were witches, and they didn't know who they were or where they were.

Until a few months ago, the palaces of the nine important generals of the imperial court and the Shangshu Palace of the Ministry of Rites, which strongly supported the suppression of the Tusi and the Poison Gu Sect, were attacked by assassins of the Poison Gu Sect.

Only then did I learn some news that the remnants of the Poison Gu Sect may have followed the demon girl and lurked in the capital.

But they didn't expect them to be so bold, appearing in Kang Wang's mansion in a grand manner, and...

Chapter 397 No Regrets

Kang Wang thought of this, his face was gloomy, and he stopped talking.

He knew in his heart that since he was the remnant of the Poison Gu Sect, this matter became easier.

It is nothing more than all kinds of retaliation against the court.

At the same time, he also made up his mind that no matter what kind of plots and tricks the Poison Gu Sect intends to use, they must not be allowed to succeed in the end!

"Your Highness, Your Highness!"

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the hall.

Kang Wang subconsciously turned his head to look, and then felt a chill on his neck.

You don't need to think about it, you know, it's either a dagger or another weapon on your neck.

"what's up?"

Kang Wang thought for a while and asked.

The servant outside the door replied: "Your Highness, Eunuch Liu is here, he is at the gate of the mansion, and he said that he has His Majesty's will, and he will arrive here soon!"

Eunuch Liu?

Kang Wang was slightly startled, and then thought of something, the expression on his face did not change, but his heart was full of excitement and excitement.

The eunuch who can be treated like this by the servants in the mansion is still surnamed Liu. Think about it, there is only one eunuch in the entire Chu Kingdom, the eunuch who holds the seal of the ceremonial supervisor and holds the pen—Liu Cheng.

"Okay, my king knows."

Kang Wang said calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the dagger on his neck slightly pressed down.

A charming voice sounded from behind: "I still hope that His Royal Highness Kang Wang will not play tricks, otherwise this dark incense from my family does not have eyes..."

When King Kang heard this voice, his expression didn't change at all, he just said, "It turns out that you are also nervous sometimes."

When the woman was standing with King Kang, she withdrew her dagger and pressed it against his waist, but she didn't speak any more.

At this time, the door was suddenly pushed open.

A white-faced, beardless middle-aged 'man' walked in.

"My servant has seen His Royal Highness King Kang..."

Needless to say, the person who came was naturally the great eunuch Liu Cheng.

When he saw the woman behind King Kang, he was slightly taken aback, but his expression didn't change much, and he still bowed respectfully.

To be able to get into this position, no matter in all aspects, he must be the best among eunuchs.

Even if it was the order of the emperor, but there was no imperial decree, he followed the rules and saluted like the emperor of Chu.

"Eunuch Liu is so polite."

Kang Wang was expressionless, looked at Liu Cheng, and said something lightly.
