Hold the thick thighs tightly [My father is a traitor]

Funing Palace

Sheng Jingchen had a thin layer of sweat on his head and slept very restlessly.

Seeing this scene, Pei Dafu sighed silently. His master was haunted by nightmares again.

Ever since that day when he played chess with Lin Yuzan until three o'clock in the morning and ended up in a draw, the master has been suffering from nightmares for the past three months. It seemed that this was the first time in many years that he had not won a game of chess, and it had become a lingering demon in his heart.

Pei Dafu tiptoed forward and twirled the quilt for his master.

At this moment, Sheng Jingchen uttered a hateful mutter from his throat, "Lian Shu, how dare you lie to me!"

Pei Dafu froze suddenly, staring blankly at his master who was sleeping soundly with a frown on his face.

The hall was silent, the candlelight flickering dimly, illuminating the complex expressions of the master and servant, whose shadows were hazy and buried in the shadows cast by the beams and pillars.

……

The emperor's wolf-like eyes wandered over Lian Shu's beautiful face, and then he nonchalantly said, "You want to ask me for Lian Shu? I can't bear to give up such a beauty."

Sheng Jingchen knelt on the cold ground, raised his head expressionlessly, and looked directly at the emperor: "Father once said with all his heart that you will not steal my woman!"

"Your woman?" The emperor's eyes suddenly turned cold, the air around him seemed to be stagnant, and even the candlelight dimmed a little.

Pei An understood what he meant and stepped forward, grabbing Lian Shu's arm and forcibly checking: "Your Majesty, Miss Lian Shu... is indeed not a perfect girl!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sheng Jingchen felt a sharp pain in his chest - the emperor actually raised his foot and kicked him to the ground.

He groaned and struggled to get up, but Lian Shu held him in her trembling arms.

The two of them hung their heads, their suppressed groans and low sobs intertwined, which was particularly clear in the empty and dim hall, just like a pair of star-crossed mandarin ducks.

The emperor laughed grimly, his tone brimming with murderous intent: "That's great! How dare you snatch a woman from me?"

Pei An saw this and quickly stepped forward to appease him: "Your Majesty, please calm down. This is a good thing!"

"Good thing?"

The emperor glanced at him sharply, and heard him continue, "Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince has finally grown sensible. He knows your Majesty's love for him, so he took the initiative to ask for Miss Lian Shu. Look at him in the past, how could he be so impatient with women?"

The emperor withdrew his gaze and instead fell on Lian Shu's pitiful and beautiful face. His brows slightly frowned and he gradually became thoughtful.

Pei An observed his master's expression, and when he saw that his expression had eased slightly, he struck while the iron was hot and said, "But having said that, this Miss Lian Shu is indeed ungrateful. She cries all day long, and it's unlucky to look at her. The Sixth Prince has been pitying her these past few days, but who knows when he got tired of her."

The emperor seemed to be persuaded and looked away. Annoyance flashed across his eyes. He waved his hand and said unwillingly, "Take Lian Shu away. Don't let her appear in front of me again."

Pei An quickly responded: "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will definitely keep Miss Lian Shu in the Sixth Prince's room and will never let her out to bother you!"

Then, changing the subject, he asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, several women were brought in today. They are even more outstanding than the previous ones. They heard that they were to serve Your Majesty, so they happily dressed up. Do you want to call them to serve?"

The emperor's depression was mostly dispelled by these words. An obscene smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He nodded slightly, and his eyes inadvertently fell on the "poor mandarin ducks". He impatiently spat out the word "get out".

As soon as these words were spoken, Pei Dafu, who was kneeling beside them and dared not say a word, hurriedly helped his master out of the hall together with Lian Shu.

Seeing his master holding his chest in pain and gasping for breath, he hurriedly carried him on his back.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around and glared at Lian Shu fiercely, and whispered a warning: "My prince can hardly protect himself, and today he risked his own life to protect you. I hope Miss Lian Shu will behave herself in the future and not let His Majesty notice anything unusual and harm my prince."

……

Sheng Jingchen lay on the bed covered in wounds, his face gloomy, but a mocking arc gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Lian Shu is dead?"

Pei Dafu carefully applied the medicine to his master. He carefully observed his master's expression and said slowly, "Yes! Your Highness, yesterday...yesterday you were captured by the guards, and Miss Lian Shu was also forcibly taken away by His Majesty's orders. As soon as she entered the palace, she was dragged out by my godfather. It is said that she was too frightened during the struggle and died."

Sheng Jingchen hummed lightly with an unclear meaning and closed his eyes gently: "He is just an idiot!"

"She's not stupid. You risked your life to save her from His Majesty last time. Unexpectedly, she still refused to obey and allowed another woman into your room, which harmed both herself and others. His Majesty learned that she was still a virgin. As a result, you were severely punished by His Majesty! She even begged you to have sex with her the night before, trying to use you to avoid His Majesty's presence once again."

After saying this, Pei Dafu glanced at his master again. Seeing that he had no reaction, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He continued indignantly, "If I were to say, this Miss Lian Shu is a beauty who brings disaster. She has come to you for protection time and time again, but you are not willing to accept her. She even pretends to be pitiful in front of you, trying to get your pity and ask Your Majesty for her."

"You protected her for several months, spending every day with her, yet she never thought of your kindness. She only missed the prince through the Ping'an lock. Now that she's dead, it's a relief, saving us from constant fear..."

As he was talking, Pei Dafu stopped talking automatically. He bent down and looked at his master's sleeping face.

Pei Dafu pounded his lower back, straightened up, sighed deeply, and muttered, "Fortunately, the master didn't take Miss Lian Shu seriously. Otherwise, how could he bear it if they were separated by life and death just the day before yesterday?"

......

At some point, the candles in the hall burned out. Pei Dafu quietly ordered someone to replace them with new ones. He turned his head and looked through the window lattice at the sky. A streak of pale sky was quietly rising.

Just at this moment, there was a sound from the dragon bed, and Pei Dafu hurried back to the bed to serve his master.

Sheng Jingchen rubbed his brows, opened his deep eyes that were no longer sleepy, and asked in a low voice: "Today is the day when the examination results are announced."

Pei Dafu immediately got into the mood: "Your Majesty, today is indeed the day for the announcement of the examination results, but if Lin Yuzan knows his ranking, will he be unwilling to serve as an official in the court?"

Unexpectedly, the emperor just sneered, "This matter is not his responsibility. I let him steal the show at last year's Sealing Feast, and he has long been a thorn in the eyes of countless people."

Pei Dafu: ..., Your Majesty, you are betraying your son!

This matter has to start from the Sealing Banquet last year.

The rebellion of Marquis Xuanping implicated a large number of officials who were brought down. By the time of the annual sealing banquet, the dust had settled. The cunning King Yu was executed, and one-third of the officials in Yanjing were gone.

The remaining officials who attended the sealing banquet were all trembling with fear, not seeking merit but avoiding mistakes, waiting for the emperor's year-end summary and the possible "year-end bonus".

However, what the officials did not expect was that when the emperor ordered the Ministry of Rites to read out the year-end summary, two names appeared frequently - Wang Cheng and Lin Yuzan, and these two people were involved in several major events of the year.

This is even more shocking than knowing that the emperor has an affair with another man and letting Concubine Nuan pretend to be a woman and sleep with him every day.

(Xiao Yining: ╮(﹀_﹀”)╭, to put it simply, Old Baby turned the Sealing Banquet into an awards ceremony for two old men!)

Thinking of this, Pei Dafu recalled the scene yesterday when Ai Xiang brought the examination rankings to his master for review. The two had a fierce dispute over the rankings of Lin Yuzan and Wang Cheng. In the end, Ai Xiang was defeated and angrily cursed his master for being a tyrant.

He was at a loss for words, and suddenly had a hunch in his heart - this strange father and son pair would continue to fight!!!

The Lin family is also different today.

Even though it was the day when the results were announced, Lin Yuzan was not in a hurry. He sat lazily in the courtyard, enjoying tea with Wang Cheng.

Wang Cheng took a sip of tea and glanced at his niece hiding behind a pillar. He said, "You've been holding Sister Qing hostage for three months, preventing her from entering the palace to see His Majesty. You even refused to allow my mother to take her to the palace for a banquet. When the results are announced today, she will definitely beg you to bring her into the palace and see you appoint her an official."

Lin Yuzan smiled softly and said confidently, "I'm sure to rank last in this imperial examination. If Qingjie wants to enter the palace, she can't do so when her father is frustrated. When I become a minor official, I'll take Wanniang and her to exile for a few years."

With just a few words, the future is arranged.

Little Yining listened to every word, then immediately put her hands on her hips and emerged from behind the pillar, huffing, "Dad, you're so cunning! If you don't study hard on the exam, Qingjie'er will complain to Mom."

Lin Yuzan glanced at her indifferently and said, "Sister Qing, as long as you pass the imperial examination, you will be able to become an official. You can still become an official daughter."

Little Yining pouted angrily, but placed her hopes on her uncle again, blinking her pitiful big eyes and looking at him longingly.

Wang Cheng rocked the rocking chair beneath him and replied with an embarrassed look on his face, "In this imperial examination, Prime Minister Ai's questions are quite tricky, and there's no chance that your uncle will make it to the A list. If he falls to the B list, your uncle will only be able to become a Shujishi and follow your father into exile."

Xiao Yining: (▼へ▼メ), you’re lying to a four-year-old again!

The little kid took an unhappy step forward, quickly came to his uncle, and stared at him silently.

Wang Cheng looked back leisurely, waiting for her next words.

But after a moment, Xiao Yining showed an expression of sudden enlightenment and asked, "Uncle, are you afraid that Grandpa will find out that Sister San returned the five gold hairpins to you out of fear of being pestered by you? Are you trying to hide away?"

Wang Cheng: (?_?)

The old man's defense was instantly broken. He quickly reached out to cover the kid's mouth and begged for mercy, "Sister Qing, if you want anything, just tell your uncle. As long as it doesn't involve going to the palace to see His Majesty, anything is fine!"

A cunning light flashed in little Yining's eyes. Just as she was about to secretly praise herself for being so clever, she heard her father's lazy words in her ears.

"Qingjie'er, you are 40% and 50% like Dad. If that old man sees you, he will definitely remember that Dad poisoned him. If he gets angry, Qingjie will lose the emperor's favor. There's an old saying that fragrance is far away, but stench is close."

Xiao Yining: Σ(▼□▼メ), it sounds like there is some truth to it!

Could it be that her status in old baby's heart has been lowered?

?_?, no!

The little girl couldn't help showing an expression of grievance and unwillingness. Just as she was about to calm down, she heard a faint and familiar sound of a gong.

Xiao Yining: (???.???)????, the official announcer? They're here too early, aren't they? Shouldn't reports be passed down from the top down?

Immediately afterwards, the two adults and one child heard hurried and panicked footsteps.

A servant stumbled over and shouted, "Master, great news! You've passed the imperial examination and become the top scorer!"

"What did you say? How could I be the top scorer?"

Lin Yuzan stood up in disbelief. In a flash, he understood the deeper meaning and gritted his teeth, "This old man is plotting against me again, leaving me with no escape!"

Wang Chengze stood up, holding his niece whose computer had crashed due to the shocking news, and was about to ask.

Unexpectedly, another servant came running over in a panic and shouted to Wang Cheng, "Master, Master, the princess wants you to return quickly. The messenger came to tell her that you have won the third place in the imperial examination."

Wang Cheng couldn't accept the reality for a moment, and his body couldn't help but sway: "How is this possible? I'm clearly the top scholar!"

Little Yining had long forgotten everything else, immersed in the joy of her wish coming true. When she came to her senses, she said happily, "Dad, my uncle loves you so much! He wants you to be the top scholar!"

Lin Yuzan: (?▼Benefit▼)

Little Yining didn't forget to flatter his uncle: "Uncle, you are a top scholar, you will definitely find my aunt sooner!"

Wang Cheng: (?? ?)

The two old men looked at each other, and saw raging anger in each other's eyes, and the urge to kick old baby off the throne.

But now, they only had one thing to say: "Sister Qing, shut up!"

Xiao Yining: q(≧▽≦q), Old Baby actually opened a back door for the two old men in her family. From this, it seems that her position in Old Baby’s heart is still stable!
