Long live Emperor Wu!

Chapter 44 How about you help me?

As soon as these words came out, King Jin was stunned, his pupils trembled, and for a moment he couldn't think of anything to refute.

Wu Rou was also stunned, as if suddenly enlightened, and then excitedly took Princess Jinyang's hand and said as if she was crying:

"Princess, thank you~, what would I do without you?"

"Hehe..." Princess Jinyang smiled happily, as if she had received a great compliment, she was shy and cute.

The maids picked up all the colored glaze beads on the ground and cleaned up the place in front of them. King Jin knocked out another one in frustration.

The bead rolled gurglingly on the grass for a long way until it stopped just shy of the edge of the circular pit.

He suddenly said helplessly:
"She's probably too familiar. Originally, I could have ignored her and just kept my eyes out of sight... But she always kept wandering in front of my eyes."

Wu Rou, who was dangling in front of him, was sitting next to him, then turned her head and looked at Princess Jinyang on the other side.

The princess was really awesome, she directly supported him and said:
"She's obviously here to play with me. If you don't want to see her, you can leave. Why are you always being so mean and not looking good to others?"

Wu Rou pulled her shawl and covered her mouth, trying not to laugh out loud. She had to say that it felt really good.

She didn't dare to criticize King Jin directly like this, but how could her own sister criticize her brother?

King Jin's face suddenly turned red. He didn't know whether he was choked or angry. He leaned forward, looked away from Wu Rou in the middle, looked at his biological sister, and said heartbrokenly:
"Xizi, you just said you couldn't bear to leave your brother, and now you're driving me away?... How can you face an outsider? You have no conscience."

Princess Jinyang's big eyes dazzled, and then she ran down from her couch, walked around King Jin, rubbed the edge of the couch, and pulled his arm, looking dignified, like a little adult. Coax him:

"Brother, don't be sad, Xizi is just joking. It's just that you will go to court with your father tomorrow. It's so boring for me to be alone in the harem. I have to find someone to play with me. You have made Wu Cai popular, who should I find? go."

Wu Rou looked at the brother and sister curiously, and found that Princess Jinyang, with the dignified and gentle charm of King Jin, coaxed him next to her, as if they were carved from the same mold, which was really strange.

When King Jin saw her like this, he actually smiled, sighed helplessly, pointed at the palace ladies in the distance with his eyes, and said:
"Isn't it okay for so many people to accompany you?"

Princess Jinyang pointed at the palace maid in the distance, then at King Jin, and then at Wu Rou. While pointing, she explained:
"Slave, relative, friend."

King Jin sighed, then raised his hand and touched her head, as if feeling distressed, and said:
"You should make friends with people your own age."

Princess Jinyang puffed up her cheeks and said dissatisfiedly:
"Are you looking for Chaoyang? All the butterflies I raised were pinched to death by her, and you still insist on saying it was accidental. I'm not stupid. My father said that there are differences between direct concubines and concubines, so I won't be allowed to care about her anymore."

As she spoke, she deliberately squinted at him with her big eyes and said:
"You obviously know, why do you still say this? Doesn't my brother have no friends of the same age, so he often talks to Wu Cairen?"

King Jin stopped talking, he was calm and dignified, his face was calm, but his ears turned red again.

Wu Rou looked on, feeling quite good. She covered her mouth with her shawl and said with a smile:

"Arou is honored to be friends with these two Highnesses. Of course, the main credit here belongs to me. There are so many people in this palace who want to curry favor with these two Highnesses, but none of them have the courage. Fortunately, I am bold and thick-skinned. , I won’t leave even if you dislike me.”

With the support of Princess Jinyang, she suddenly felt relieved and simply kept her face in public.

This made Princess Jinyang giggle for a while.

King Jin had no choice but to remain silent for a while, then resignedly raised the "Itchy Scratch" in his hand and said:
"It's your turn."

In this way, the three of them played lively for a while. The maid of Princess Jinyang suddenly came over and said:

"Princess, the time has come. It's time to drink the medicine."

Princess Jinyang was obedient, stood up directly, and saluted King Jin dignifiedly:

"Brother, I'm going to drink medicine. You can play."

"Well, go ahead." King Jin responded.

Wu Rou also stood up to see her off. Before leaving, Princess Jinyang looked at her reluctantly for a few times before leading her away.

She was weak and would take medicine every once in a while. Wu Rou only found out about it later and everyone was used to it.

Princess Jinyang took away many maids, and soon there were only two guards of King Jin left by the river, as well as Sanchun brought by Wu Rou, and it suddenly seemed much empty.

Wu Rou took the initiative to talk:
"...I used to think that His Highness was a loner, and I thought it was an illusion, but it turned out to be true."

Prince Jin glanced at her, as if he still didn't want to pay attention to her, but he couldn't find a reason to ignore her, so he still replied in a gentle and indifferent tone:

"There are not many people of the same age in the palace, and as you know, my father is very partial to us, his direct descendants, and it is normal for others to be jealous. The relationship cannot be too good."

"Then why is Your Highness always avoiding me? I won't harm you." Wu Rou asked unconvinced.

Prince Jin did not look at her, he pursed his lips as if to calm his emotions, and then said helplessly:

"I really hate ambitious people, especially women who work hard for glory and wealth." Wu Rou knew that he was talking about herself, so she couldn't help but squint at him from the corner of her eyes and said:
"Is there really someone who has no ambition? I see that Your Highness works hard in his studies. Every day he is like a top scholar. He also plays polo and practices martial arts very hard. Do you have no ambition at all and are willing to be mediocre?"

Only then did King Jin suddenly turn his head and look at her, and said firmly:

"Yes, I don't. I am content with my position and only do what I should do. I work hard because my father said that after the prince brother became emperor, there were not many people he could rely on. I am his biological brother. , to make suggestions for him at critical moments and to lead troops to the battlefield for him.

Why do people have to be ambitious?If everyone was content with their position and did their part well, there wouldn't be so many disputes in the world, and there would be peace long ago. "

Wu Rou was stunned for a moment, looking at King Jin's serious and sincere expression, she was really surprised.

In her heart, as a prince, he must have some thoughts of fighting for the throne. The reason why he didn't fight must be because the Crown Prince Zhuyu was in front. He was half-forced to compromise and accept his fate.

I didn't expect that he was really...the type of Bodhisattva who has no desires or desires.

It really matches his temperament and appearance.

Is this what others say, that phase comes from the heart?

Wu Rou withdrew her surprised gaze, looked at the grass in front of King Jin with the tail of her eyes, and said:

"The reason why His Highness said this is because you feel that your position is just right. What about others? Some people are not worthy of their position, and some people are in a low position. Shouldn't we let others compete for it?"

"Whose position is lowered? You? Where do you think your virtue should be?" King Jin asked unceremoniously, his tone still gentle, but he still couldn't hide the sarcasm in it.

Wu Rou pulled her shawl to cover her mouth, looking half shy, but her eyes were burning like fire and she would not give in.

She raised her eyebrows slightly and said:
"Your Majesty, your Majesty's position was lowered back then. If he hadn't fought for it, who would have occupied the position of emperor and brought disaster to the world?"

Why didn't King Jin Li Shan think that Wu Rou was waiting for him here? He choked for a moment, then turned his head away in displeasure and said dullly:

"What about you? Why are you teasing my father?"

"Aren't we talking about ambition? To be honest, Ah Rou admires His Highness's kind-heartedness, but His Highness himself doesn't eat the fireworks of the world, so he can't let us ordinary people not eat, right?"

Wu Rou put down her shawl as if she had broken a jar, and said calmly:

"Yes, I just tried my best to get His Majesty's favor and have a child. But my ambition is nothing, it's just a plan for my future."

She glanced at Prince Jin, and in his shocked and shameless eyes, she added:
"If I were in Your Highness's position, I wouldn't panic."

Prince Jin frowned and lowered his head to look at his hand. He was holding a glass bead and turning it anxiously.

Even if there is no reason to say it, the disgust in my heart is real.

He doesn't like, really doesn't like Wu Rou being this kind of person.

He raised his hand to support his forehead, feeling so stuffy that he had a headache.

When Wu Rou saw that he was silent, she thought that he had finally "awakened" and was shaken, so she leaned slightly towards him and said:
"Your Highness, how about you help me?"

No matter how many times, King Jin would be shocked by Wu Rou's shameless and bold request. He would turn his face from the gap between his arms and look at her with trembling pupils.

Wu Rou looked innocent and surprised.

"Dream on you." The young King Jin said through gritted teeth, stood up and left, with a somewhat stubborn look on his back.

Wu Rou looked at his back and curled her lips in displeasure. After a while, she said to herself:

"If you don't want to, just don't want to. Why are you so angry?"

-

Spotlight 1: "Pfft hahaha... No matter how I look at it, Gaozong seems to have been broken by Sister Wu. Hahaha, his walking posture is not as calm as before. Hey, tell me, he won't be what he is now." You just like Sister Wu, right?"

Point 2: "Impossible, he just celebrated his 12th birthday. Does a child know what liking is?"

Point 1: "You don't know how to like a child? Besides, the life expectancy of people in ancient times was so short, and he was so smart and precocious, it is possible that he is like an adult."

Spot 2:

"... Anyway, I don't look like it, but Sister Wu is very interesting. Anyway, her eyes light up when she sees Gaozong, and her heart is filled with love. It's so obvious."

Spotlight 1: "Who didn't see Gaozong's eyes light up? Aren't you? Then there are so many people who like him, must it all be love?"

Spotlight 2: "Hiss...it seems to make sense."
