After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

Xianwang Mansion was the residence of Emperor Jianxi before he ascended the throne. It is not luxurious and the scenery is average, but it is known as a hidden residence and there are traces of Emperor Jianxi's life everywhere, so it is worth a visit.

The wise king was born here.

The mother of the virtuous prince was a concubine serving the Emperor Jianxi. At that time, the Emperor Jianxi was out of favor and the crown prince was domineering. The prince often bullied the prince, and the whole palace had a hard time.

The mother of the virtuous king was the woman who accompanied Emperor Jianxi during those years.

Lord Wang, the historian, was most familiar with the ins and outs of this matter. As a group of people strolled around, Lord Wang told the story.

Although Emperor Jianxi and Empress Xiaomin were childhood sweethearts, their relationship was more like that of siblings. Empress Xiaomin's maternal family was powerful, but Emperor Jianxi did not want to be involved with them. He just wanted to be an idle prince, and when the previous emperor passed away, he asked for a fiefdom and took his family to hide there.

All the changes happened when the late emperor valued Empress Xiaomin and said, "No matter who becomes the crown prince, the legitimate daughter of the Wei family will be the crown princess."

At that time, the crown prince had already been decided, and it could be said that the marriage between Queen Xiaomin and the crown prince was already on the agenda, and the crown princess' phoenix crown had already been delivered to the Wei Mansion.

It is said that on that day, Emperor Jianxi came to visit Duke Wei and happened to see Empress Xiaomin trying on the phoenix crown, which was so gorgeous that his face changed immediately and he left with a gloomy face. After that, three days before the prince's wedding, the prince was deposed.

After this incident, Empress Xiaomin never remarried until Emperor Jianxi ascended the throne, when she was crowned empress and her favor continued.

Lord Wang's words have different meanings when heard by Zhao Ying and when heard by the wise king.

For Zhao Ying and Zhao Cong, it is parental love and confidence, but for the wise king, it is the source of his misery.

Just imagine, if there was no Empress Xiaomin, Emperor Jianxi's favorite would be his mother. If there was no Empress Xiaomin, Emperor Jianxi would not have fought for the throne, and would not have suffered revenge from the crown prince, causing his mother's tragic death.

As sons of Emperor Jianxi, Zhao Cong was the legitimate eldest son. What a life he led, not to mention Zhao Ying. Everything they had came from Emperor Jianxi's love and favor for Empress Xiaomin. If it weren't for her, all these good days would have been his!

It was such a coincidence that Queen Hyomin suddenly appeared!

Otherwise, his mother would have taken the lead!

Seeing that the wise king's face was not looking good, no one paid attention.

Everyone has his own ulterior motives.

Shangguan Shu held Shangguan Qingyue in his arms and moved towards Zhao Ying inconspicuously, but the Xian King suddenly intervened and separated them.

Shangguan Shu looked at the virtuous king and winked at him, then he pursed his lips, drooped his face, and turned his head away.

At this moment, Lord Wang suddenly spoke in surprise, "Right there! That rockery! Princess, it is said that His Majesty once took shelter there!"

Zhao Ying: ...No, I was just enjoying the cool air. Do you have to sound so surprised?

Shangguan Shu saw the rockery and raised his eyebrows, then said, "In that case, let's go over and take a look!"

As he spoke, he strode over carrying Shangguan Qingyue, and the others followed him.

Lord Wang was already standing in front of the rockery, with a cave behind him. He turned his back to the cave and introduced it to everyone, "This..."

"Woooo..."

Before Lord Wang could finish his words, he heard a woman crying. He blinked, froze in place, and looked around.

Nothing was found.

Maybe he heard it wrong?

Lord Wang saw that everyone had come to him, so he hurriedly spoke. But as soon as he opened his mouth, no sound came out. The woman's sobbing sound penetrated his ears bit by bit with the night wind. Lord Wang felt a chill on his spine and couldn't help but whispered, "Did you hear the woman crying?"

Everyone fell silent after hearing this and listened hard. At this moment, Lord Wang glared at everyone, made a gesture, and then walked towards the cave in a hurry.

He leaned close to the entrance of the cave, and after making sure that the sound came from inside, he immediately raised his hand and called everyone over.

The corners of Shangguan Shu's lips curled up slightly.

Then he winked at Shangguan Qingyue and carried her over.

Shangguan Qingyue was very excited, [What? What's in the cave? ]

She covered her mouth to prevent any sound from coming out.

The virtuous king frowned upon seeing this, wondering if one of his servants was having an affair in there.

I heard that the concubine of the Duke of Zhenguo had an affair in the rockery... Goddess of Mercy, please make sure it was a servant, not his concubine...

Zhao Ying had already gone there. King Xian and Shangguan Zhu looked at each other and also went there.

The sound from the cave came out clearly.

"Wuwuwu... You damned devil, you really made me miss you! Do you know how I've been living these days?"

It really is an affair!

Everyone's expressions became strange.

Lord Wang secretly took out a pen and paper and started writing again...

Shangguan Qingyue's eyes sparkled.

The virtuous king heaved a sigh of relief. Hearing the voices of the women, he knew they were not his concubines. He whispered to stop Lord Wang, "Lord Wang, don't remember it for now. Is the affair of a mere servant worth your attention?"

As soon as he finished speaking, another voice sounded.

"It's all my fault! I made Sister Shuyun sad, just hit me!"

"No, how can I bear to..." The voice was tearful.

Several people outside the cave were shocked!

[Oh my god, two women! What's going on? ]

Lord Wang: "Shu Yun...could she be the concubine Liu from the Duke Dingguo family?"

Lord Wang knew all the surnames and maiden names of the officials and their families. He thought about it carefully and was almost sure, "Yes, it's Liu Shuyun! She is here today too!"

"Why does one of the women's voices sound to me like..." Zhao Ying looked at the virtuous king behind her, "the emperor's sister-in-law's..."

The virtuous king was already stunned. He didn't expect that his princess would be inside...

What is Zixian doing here? What is she talking to Xiao Liu about?

The wise king had thousands of questions in his mind, but he was unwilling to believe that absurd reality...

Shangguan Qingyue suddenly realized something after Zhao Ying reminded him, and his mouth opened wide, [Yes, yes, yes! I remembered! The virtuous princess is a womanizer! Oh my, how could it be such a coincidence that I caught her having an affair with someone! ]

Shangguan Qingyue thought about it and secretly glanced at the wise king.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him with strange eyes, the virtuous king lowered his voice and argued, "I remember that Zixian and Liu have always been good friends. They haven't seen each other for a long time, so it's normal for them to come out and reminisce about the past!"

Shangguan Shu smiled calmly and continued to watch the fun.

The others looked at the wise king with doubt, forcing him to say, "If you don't believe me, just keep listening!"

Sure enough, everyone heard it again.

In the cave, the virtuous princess held little Liu in her arms and coaxed her, "Although I haven't seen you for a long time, this can be considered a blessing in disguise."

"how do I say this?"

"I miss you so much that I composed a song for you."

"Really?" Mrs. Liu sat up straight in surprise.

Princess Xian raised her eyebrows teasingly.

Little Liu smiled timidly, and then snuggled into the arms of the virtuous princess, "Then sing for me!"

Princess Xian coughed lightly a few times, raised one hand and clapped her hands, "...Thump, thump, thump, thump! Thump, th ...

"Wait a minute...why are there no lyrics?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's coming!"

"Oh……"

"You carry the load, I lead the horse, we greet the sunrise and see off the sunset, we level the bumps and make a road... I hope our relationship is just like what the lyrics say, fearless of hardships and difficulties, and moving forward courageously!"
