The black-bellied prince is soft and cute

Chapter 265 Trading (2)
The ground is covered with white jade slabs, and between the slabs is inlaid with top-grade jasper, which is clean and luxurious.

Just looking at the valuable white jade stones and jasper strips paved all over the courtyard, one can know how much the mistress of the palace was doted upon.

"Chenglu Palace, this is the place where my mother and concubine lived. I was born and raised here." Chu Li walked slowly across the white jade slab, her soft boots stepping on the floor, making a tiny sound.

"My father only married my mother and concubine, and he loved my mother and concubine alone. My father and king only had me as a son. The privacy struggles in the palace and the intrigues between brothers are far away from me. Before I was 15 years old, I lived the most beautiful life in the world. A carefree life." Chu Li walked to the tallest magnolia tree and looked up at the trunk.

Shui Qianxun followed Chu Li's gaze and saw a series of obvious scratches on the tree trunk.

Chu Li pointed to the notch on the tree, her eyes sparkling: "At that time, every year on my birthday, my concubine would take me to stand under this tree, compare my height, and draw a mark on the tree. .”

Shui Qianxun looked at the notch on the trunk. As the tree grew taller, the notch became much taller. The bottom notch was already at the level of her eyes.

"At that time, the father loved the concubine mother, but he didn't often come to spend the night with the concubine mother. The concubine thought that the father was busy with state affairs, and there were no other concubines in the harem. But the father and the king ignored it."

Chu Li touched the bottom notch with her hand, and said lightly.

The wind blew through the leaves, and the sound of clattering made the night even more silent.

"It was only later that I found out that the father is not close to women, and only married his mother and concubine. It turns out that the father has never been fond of women, but prefers men."

Shui Qianxun was startled suddenly, and vaguely guessed something.

Seeing Shui Qianxun's expression, Chu Li had a mocking smile in his eyes: "That's right, my royal father fell in love with Ah Xun. Back then, Ah Xun's mother, Concubine Chen, was favored by the emperor, and the emperor wanted to abolish the queen, but the queen's family's power It was huge, and finally forced the emperor to depose the concubine Chen and imprison Azun in the underground palace."

"How old was A-Zun at that time?"

"Six years old."

Shui Qianxun's heart trembled. How much suffering had a six-year-old child been imprisoned in the underground palace?

"Ah-zun stayed in the underground palace for ten years and escaped the queen's countless plots. I calculated afterwards that the emperor should have secretly sent someone to protect A-zun. Otherwise, A-zun would never survive. Later, on the emperor's birthday, the princes When I came to congratulate, the palace suddenly caught fire, Ah Xun came out of the underground palace, and was seen by my father..."

When Chu Li said this, she showed a bitter smile.

Shui Qianxun was silent.

"Azun is indeed very skilled, and I don't know how to persuade the princes of various countries to form an alliance with him. In the end, the princes secretly forced Emperor Dahan to pass the position of prince to Azun. After Azun became the prince, he immediately went to the six countries. It was also to avoid the sharp edge of the empress family who was in power at the time."

When Chu Li said this, her smile became more bitter: "Later, it was rumored that Azun used sex to win the support of the princes of the six countries."

Shui Qianxun raised his head: "No, a person like Huangfu Xun would never use sex to seduce others, and he doesn't need to use this method to get out of trouble."

Her voice was full of confidence, and her large, dark eyes sparkled.

The astonishment in Chu Li's eyes flashed away, and she smiled lightly: "You really know him, yes, he just took advantage of some conflicts of interest between countries to achieve his goal. It's ridiculous my father, But he really fell in love with him, but he didn't expect that Ah Xun had already formed an alliance with the ambitious Chu Yushu."
