Adoption brings disaster

It is said that the servants in the deep palace are the best at judging people by their appearance and treating them differently. Liushui is a modest gentleman who knows etiquette well and does things in a proper manner. He is strict with himself and lenient with others. Naturally, these servants look down on him and try their best to humiliate him.

I usually hear about these things, but I think in my heart that most of them are military generals. Because he is the prince's minister, he is disgusted with everyone.

I didn't expect that even the servants around the prince were so hateful. I couldn't control my temper and took over the job to deal with that person.

When I dealt with that servant, I did so with hatred. After I had dealt with him, I realized that it was inappropriate, and I looked at Liushui with concern.

Unexpectedly, Liu Shui also looked at me worriedly. Our eyes met and we said in unison, "I hope this won't cause you any trouble."

After saying that, the two of them smiled at each other and stopped talking about these spoiling things. They just raised their glasses and drank a toast, but now my glass was filled with wine instead of tea.

"He's just a servant, what kind of trouble could he possibly cause? Besides, these servants have always caused me trouble."

After Liu Shuiqing finished speaking, he drank three glasses of wine in a row. Judging from the way he drank, he was probably in big trouble.

After drinking, Liu Shuiqing felt that he had spoken out of turn and quickly said, "This servant can be considered loyal, but he is a bit stubborn. Just like what he did just now, it makes me a little distressed, but he is not a bad person."

In fact, ever since I met Liu Shuiqing, I have more or less felt that he was not living a good life, but I never thought that in such an era, a servant would dare to openly embarrass a serious master.

Seeing Liu Shuiqing trying to cover up his mistake, I didn't intend to expose him. I just drank, ate and chatted with him. However, there was some worry in Liu Shuiqing's eyes and his mind was a little distracted. He didn't hear what I said several times.

I don’t know how to deal with this matter. I can only blame myself for being reckless. I’m afraid that Liushui will be in trouble because of me.

Thinking about these things, drinking and chatting became boring. We ran out of things to talk about and were silent for a while, which was quite awkward.

Seeing that I didn't say anything, Liu Shui thought I was afraid and became even more worried. He said, "Your Highness Qianqiu, this matter really won't cause you any trouble, right?"

I didn't react to Liu Shuiqing's words for a moment. After a moment's thought, I realized he was referring to the beating of that man. I said, unconcerned, "He's just a servant. Why shouldn't I beat him? Not to mention that he was wrong in the first place, even if I beat him for no reason, it would be the master's grace."

This is the truth, but there are many unreasonable people in the world. After hearing what I said, Liu Shui became even more worried. "He has been serving the prince since he was a child. Who knows, he might become a fool in the future."

"He is nothing, even if he goes to heaven, he is still a servant. According to the laws of Beishang, I am the prince and the master at all times."

"While that's true, there's also a saying that a county magistrate is not as good as the current one, if he ever gains power."

Liu Shuiqing hesitated to speak, but I understood what he meant and said, "I understand what you're trying to say, but I'm already well on my way to meeting my debts. Otherwise, why do you think these people in Qianqiu Pavilion respect me so much?"

I was originally saying this to comfort Liushui, but Ah Da was terrified and aggrieved when he heard it. He rushed over, hugged my calves, and cried, "Your Highness Qianqiu, I am loyal to you. I will always be your servant and will never have two hearts. Your Highness, please believe me."

Ah Da's action made Liu Shui, who was originally worried and nervous, feel a lot more relaxed.

Seeing Liushui relaxed, I was also happy in my heart, so I kicked Ah Da away and said with some disgust: "I know you are loyal, get out of here quickly, and don't cry your snot on my pants."

"I've long heard that the four eunuchs around His Highness the Seventh Prince are honest and loyal, and their words are unbreakable. They enjoy considerable credibility within the palace, and today it seems to be true."

After hearing this, Ah Da was about to pounce on me again. I kicked him away and said with even more disgust, "Get out of the way! Don't disturb me while I'm drinking."

After saying this, he took a sip of wine and said, "Get out of here. I want to have some private conversation with Liu Shuiqing."

When Ada heard that I wanted to have some private conversation with Liushui, he naturally didn't want to leave. However, I was the master and Chongguang was not in the pavilion, so in the end he had no choice but to go to the side, looking back every few steps.

After sending the waiter away, I chuckled and hugged Liu Shuiqing, saying, "Let me tell you, all this loyalty is fake. People must firmly grasp the initiative in their own hands."

I was a little proud, and after drinking a glass of wine with Liu Shuiqing, I continued, "I'll tell you in secret, when I first came to Qianqiu Pavilion, I beat up His Highness the Seventh Prince."

When Liu Shuiqing heard this, he was suddenly shocked and covered my mouth to stop me from speaking.

I was showing off right now, and Liu Shui wouldn't let me speak. Naturally, I was upset, so I pulled his hand away and said, "What are you afraid of? I've already made up my mind. When His Highness the Seventh Prince leaves the palace and builds his own residence, I'll go out and explore the world. When the situation is settled, I'll see whether I should come back and continue to be my cheap prince or find a place to live in seclusion."

Liu Shui was obsessed with traveling the world, and when he heard me say I wanted to, he didn't worry about me saying something bad, so he quickly said, "You have to go and travel the world."

"Keep your voice down. My Chongguang won't let me go. If they find out, it will be hard for me to escape. And what about your Chongde? Judging from the appearance of that servant, he seems to be keeping a close eye on you. He won't let you go, will he?"

"Zhongde." Liu Shuiqing didn't react for a moment and murmured in confusion.

Seeing Liu Shui's confusion, I rolled my eyes and explained, "Yu Zhongde, that's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"How dare you call the prince by his name?" Liu Shuiqing was shocked.

"Why can't I call him that? I often call the Seventh Prince's name. No one said I can't. I call the Crown Prince by his name too.

"It doesn't seem like I can't shout, it's just..."

Liushui felt that calling him by his name seemed a little inappropriate, but he couldn't find any words to refute me, so he could only frown and feel conflicted.

"If the law does not prohibit it, then you can do it."

I didn't really care about this title, so I didn't want to discuss it any further. I said, "Forget it, it's not important. Let's discuss how we're going to make our way in the martial arts world in the future."

Speaking of traveling the world, Liu Shuiqing was immediately as happy as a flower, even his eyes lit up, but the light in his eyes quickly collapsed, his eyes were gray and a little discouraged, and he said: "I'm not going."

I was a little puzzled, and looked at Liu Shuiqing and asked, "Why? If you like Jianghu so much, why don't you go?"

"If we go, what will happen to our parents, brothers and family honor?" Liu Shuiqing's tone was desperate.

I couldn't understand Liu Shuiqing's despair, let alone his meaning. When Liu Shuiqing saw this, he explained, "I was born to become His Royal Highness's minister. I am the bond between my family and His Royal Highness. If I run away, my family will be separated from His Royal Highness."

I was a little slow in thinking after drinking, but I seemed to understand that Liu Shuiqing was a token of allegiance given by the family to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Or maybe it was not the family, but the civil service group that gave the token of allegiance to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Therefore, Liu Shuiqing was afraid that his family would be disliked by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so he was timid and was bullied by the servants to this extent.

I have been an orphan since childhood and have no sense of family responsibility. Even if I do, my current family is not my real family. It is difficult for me to understand Liu Shuiqing's thoughts.

But I think Liu Shuiqing shouldn't ruin his life for the so-called family glory.

So I also pretended to be very sad and said, "But the family honor you have won is still honor. Isn't the honor gained by working hard for the people and fighting for the country the real honor?"

"The glory of devoting all your energy to the people and fighting for your country. The glory of devoting all your energy to the people and fighting for your country."

Liu Shuiqing repeated this sentence many times, and suddenly seemed to understand something, shouting: "I want to go out into the world, I want to be a hero, I want to win true glory for my family."

Liushui shouted loudly, and Ada Chunyu and the others stretched their necks to look outside. Seeing that we were fine, they didn't come over, but they were all looking over here, ready to come over and serve us if we needed anything.

Seeing everyone looking over here, I was also startled. I quickly covered Liu Shuiqing's mouth and said in a low voice through gritted teeth, "Keep your voice down, or everyone will know."

Liu Shuiqing's heart knot was untied and he was in a very good mood. We enjoyed the moonlight, ate moon cakes and snacks, and drank wine sip by sip. Soon, the wine was all gone.

I was happy in my heart, but when I saw that there was no wine left, I shouted, "Come on, bring some wine, some good wine."

Seeing that I had drunk a little too much, everyone came over to persuade me to stop.

"Your Highness Qianqiu, it's late at night and very cold. Drink less and go to bed early."

"Your Highness, drinking is harmful to your health. Please take care of your body and stop drinking."

"Your Highness, please have mercy on us. When the Seventh Prince left, he specifically instructed us to take good care of His Highness. If His Highness drinks again, His Highness will come back tomorrow and punish us severely."

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

Seeing that everyone was trying to persuade me, and also because I was very angry because I had been drinking, I drew the knife from the guard's waist and was about to strike someone.

When everyone saw me like this, they were scared and took a step back, but they were also afraid that I was drunk and would cause trouble, so they plucked up their courage and gathered around to persuade me.

Seeing them surrounding us again, I became even more angry. I waved the knife in my hand, forcing them to make way for me, and then pulled Liu Shuiqing to the corner of the backyard.

"I'm telling you, I buried two jars of fine wine under this peach tree. I was waiting to dig them out when His Highness the Seventh Prince left the palace to build his own residence. I'm happy today, so I dug them out myself and gave them to you to drink."

"This peach tree is nice, the peach blossoms are beautiful, and the wine below must be good too."

When I heard Liu Shui talking about peach blossoms, I laughed out loud and said, "Liu Shui, you've had too much to drink. It's already late, how can there be peach blossoms?"

"I'm not drunk. Qianqiu, look what this is if it's not peach blossoms."

I looked in the direction Liu Shuiqing pointed, but didn't see any peach blossoms. Instead, I saw a jumping rabbit. I chuckled and said, "I told you you were drunk. That's not a peach blossom, it's a rabbit's ear."

"Where did the rabbit come from in this palace? You've drunk too much."

"You drank too much."

"I'm not drunk, you're the one who's drunk."

We were arguing like children about who was drunk, and then we both looked towards the peach tree, and the peach rabbits seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and there was nothing left except the bare tree trunk.

I laughed out loud and said, "Looks like we both drank too much. There's no such thing as a peach blossom rabbit, hahahahahaha."

The autumn night was a bit chilly, and the cold wind blew, sobering Liu Shuiqing up. He gathered his clothes, dismissed everyone, and whispered, "Qianqiu, this peach tree might have become a spirit. Out of so many people, only two of us saw the peach blossom rabbit. I don't think it's a good omen. We should cut down the tree."

"The peach tree is innocent. I can't do that because we were drunk and dazzled."

After saying that, he patted Liu Shuiqing again and continued, "A gentleman does not talk about strange things, supernatural powers, or chaos. You should read less storybooks."

"If they don't cut it down, they can ask someone to move it. It's better to believe it than not."

Liu Shuiqing wanted to persuade me, but I waved my hand and said nonchalantly, "Let's not talk about this anymore. The wine is here, let's drink to our heart's content."

The newly delivered wine was a bit strong and a bit irritating to the throat, but I didn't care and pulled Liu Shuiqing to drink it cup after cup.

I was a little delirious from drinking so much, so I pulled Liu Shuiqing and said, "I am upright and not afraid of demons or monsters. Besides, let alone the peach tree becoming a spirit, I was afraid of the King of Zhenbei and the Zhaixing Tower. I am not afraid of any of them."

"The Pavilion Master and Young Pavilion Master of Zhaixing Tower, as well as the elders, have all been here before, but they didn't notice the peach tree had become a spirit. It must be that we two were drunk and our eyes were blurry."

I felt uncomfortable watching Liu Shuiqing's worship of Zhaixinglou. I said sarcastically, "Zhaixinglou is a bunch of liars. Only you guys got fooled."

"How dare you talk nonsense about the immortals." Someone shouted angrily from behind.

I turned around. The person in front of me looked familiar, but I couldn't remember who it was. I rolled my eyes and pointed at the ground and said, "That Young Pavilion Master was here before, cheating people with his tricks."

"Someone, come here and slap him in the face." The man didn't say much to me. After saying that, he turned around and left angrily.

Before I could react, I was pushed to the ground and slapped twenty times.

When the man who was speaking saw that I was beaten, he spat in disgust and said that he would ask Qianqiu to reflect on his actions when he woke up, and then he left without looking back.

I fell to the ground and everyone quickly surrounded me.

"Your Highness's face is so swollen, whoever did it must be really evil."

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. There are two kinds of slaps in this palace. One is like our prince's, which only causes swelling but no injury, and looks scary. The other is no swelling, no serious injury, which may seem insignificant, but can be fatal."

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

They were arguing in low voices, and I quickly stood up and rushed to the corner to vomit loudly. After vomiting, I lay down against the wall and fell asleep. Everyone quickly carried me back to the bed and helped me to sleep.

Predict what will happen in the future, and listen to the next decomposition.
