Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

The concubines fell silent, Song Yuanhan went out of the room angrily, and was stopped by the innkeeper, "Master, when will your rent be settled?"

Song Yuanhan was very angry, grabbed the shopkeeper and said, "Listen to me, I am Song Yuanhan, the uncle of the Baxian King. I have no money to give you? You and I go to Nanqing Palace to get the money now!" Then he dragged the shopkeeper out

The shop owner was taken aback when he heard that, and quickly cupped his hands and said, "My lord, forgive me, my lord, but my villain's eyesight is stupid, so when you are free, my lord, just send someone to deliver it."

"Hmph! It's more or less the same!" Song Yuanhan flicked his sleeves and walked back to Nanqing Palace with three servants.

In the evening, the family had a meal together, and Song Yuanhan was also sitting here, eating on his own, without any manners at all, everyone looked at Song Yuanhan, and stopped, Song Yuanhan looked up at everyone with his mouth full, Defang glanced at Song Yuanhan , did not speak, and continued to eat. Song Yuanhan chewed the rice in his mouth, looked at the people again, and continued to eat with his head down. Concubine Di shook her head and said, "Eat quickly, don't get cold." The children started to move Chopsticks.

Another two days later, Song Yuanhan still had no money, and he couldn't ask Jin Yingshi to get it, so he looked around in the palace, and came to Defang's studio, where there were all Defang's free time works, and on the shelves were also Some antique jade wares were placed, and Song Yuanhan’s eyes widened when he saw the jade wares. He picked one up and looked at it for a long time, then he looked at the door and saw that no one was there, so he took the jade wares away, and took them out of the palace with three servants to sell the silver. Eat, drink and be merry.

Defang didn't see Song Yuanhan for three days, and asked, "Where is Uncle? Why hasn't anyone been seen for a few days?"

Baili said, "Go back to the lord, my uncle and the three servants have gone to brothels and gambling houses these days."

"What? A brothel gambling house?" Defang sighed, "What a rotten tree!"

Song Yuanhan felt very good in the palace, and occasionally stole some jade articles to sell, and used the name of Defang to deceive others outside. One day, Defang went to the studio to draw some pictures of flowers and birds, and when he entered the studio, he always felt that something was wrong. Looking around, I suddenly found that there were a few jade wares missing. The jade wares in the painting room were chosen by Defang herself, and they were all flower-wood-shaped jade wares and jade vases. So Defang called the cleaning maid and asked, "Drawing Did someone move the jade in the room?"

"Go back to the prince, no one has touched the jade."

"No? Where is the jade in that room now?"

The servant girl was so frightened that she quickly knelt down, "My lord, I don't know where the jade is, and I didn't see it when I was cleaning it."

Defang was taken aback, and thought for a while, "Come here! Bring everyone who has been to the painting room to the main hall immediately, and the lonely king will ask for it himself."

In the main hall, Defang asked several maidservants who had been to the painting room to clean, as well as patrolling soldiers. It turned out that besides the people in the mansion, Song Yuanhan also often went there. Defang stroked his beard and asked everyone to quit. Following Song Yuanhan's guards and learning that he had been to the pawnshop several times, Defang sent someone to the pawnshop to pick up the ticket.

In the evening, Song Yuanhan returned to the mansion, and was brought to the main hall by Jia Jun. Defang and Concubine Di were present, and Song Yuanhan asked, "Your Majesty hasn't rested yet?"

Defang asked, "What is uncle doing these days? Why is the lonely king rarely seen?"

"I just go out for a walk, I don't have anything to do, so I wander around the capital," Song Yuanhan said

"Go shopping? The lonely king heard that uncle went to the brothel gambling house, is there such a thing?"

"Yes, I did, but it's not against the law, is it?"
