A tree of peach blossoms pressing the prime minister

Chapter 58 A Reliable Man

Concubine Lan was stunned, and glanced at her: "The princess really can't speak, I am the emperor's concubine, and also the mother and concubine of Prince Nan, how could you not like him?"

"I know I'm wrong." Tao Hua hastily lowered her head: "Your Majesty, don't take it to heart."

That's what she said, but she was not stupid. If Concubine Lan Gui really liked Nan Wang, why would she speak so stiffly and ask him to greet the emperor without saying a word?At any rate, you should exchange some pleasantries and show concern, so that you are fulfilling the duties of a mother and concubine, right?
It's strange to say, if Concubine Lan Guiye is Shen Zaiya's younger sister, then Shen Zaiya is from Nan Wang's side, how could she not like Nan Wang in turn, and even seem to reject him a bit?Is there a story behind this?

"I'm not a stingy person, you don't have to be so nervous all the time." Looking at her, Concubine Lan Gui said: "Master Xiang is very good at hunting, follow him, and you will be able to broaden your horizons later."

"Yes."

There was no way for this chat to continue at all. The two of them wandered around casually, looked at the surrounding environment, and then started to walk back.

Meng Taipu was sweating, and followed King Yu to patrol the racecourse.

"I didn't expect Brother King Jing to find my father." King Yu's face was not very good-looking: "Are you sure there will be no problems?"

The location of this racecourse is remote, and the palace was built at will, without spending much money at all, and cutting corners is not uncommon.King Yu was very worried that something might go wrong during the hunt, and the responsibility for that was all the servant Meng's.

"Don't worry, my lord." Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Meng Taipu said: "Your Majesty has been guarded by some weak walls. If something happens, it will definitely be covered up first."

"Hmm." King Yu frowned: "Shen Zaiye has been walking around King Jing's side recently, and he must have intended to help him. We can't be caught. As for your daughter, I don't bother to blame you, you just make up for it."

"Thank you, my lord!" Meng Taifu bowed his hands, and said unwillingly: "Zhen Zhen was dismissed simply because of Liu Ji's involvement. She didn't make any serious mistakes. I hope the lord will find out."

"What did she do? It's true. This king doesn't care at all." King Yu pursed his lips, narrowing his narrow Danfeng eyes slightly: "What this king cares about is whether she can catch Prime Minister Shen's heart. But obviously, she Failed."

Meng Taipu was taken aback for a moment, and quickly bowed his head to salute.

King Yu raised his head, glanced at the blue sky, and said softly: "I don't know what Shen Zaye is thinking recently, it seems that he is really going to favor Brother Jing, which is not very good."

King Jing was already the most powerful, and with the help of the prime minister, there would really be no chance for him to be in the Eastern Palace.

"What do you think, my lord?" Meng Taipu asked.

"It's very simple." King Yu smiled, and said with his hands behind his back: "If he really decides to help Brother Jing, then we can't show mercy to him."

"what do you mean……"

King Yu stretched out his hand and gestured to wipe his neck.

Since it cannot be used by him, it is the enemy.For powerful enemies, of course, the sooner the better.

Shen Zaiye in the palace sneezed and frowned slightly.

"Aiqing is unwell?" the emperor asked with concern while holding the chess piece.

Shen Zaiye shook his head and said with a smile: "Maybe it's because people are thinking about it. It's not easy to get sick in such a warm weather."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand to eat one of his pawns, and said with a chuckle: "A dignified prime minister, one person is under one man and above ten thousand people, naturally many people are concerned about it."

Before the words were finished, Nan Wang's voice sounded from outside: "I come to pay my respects to my father."

Because of the previous series of events, the emperor was very impressed with Nan Wang recently, so he let him in with a wave of his hand.

Mu Wuxia was wearing a white riding outfit with red edges, and looked very energetic. When he came up, he saluted politely: "Father, Wan'an."

"Excuse me." Looking sideways at him, the emperor had a half-smile on his face: "You know the rules best, and you are the first one to pay your respects."

Mu Wuxia raised her head and smiled slightly: "The master said that etiquette cannot be broken, and I have greeted my father, so that I can do other things."

"Huh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows: "What can you do?"

"Brother King Jing asked my son to patrol the mountains."

Patrol?The emperor's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was open.Mountain patrolling was a job that King Jing took on by himself. He said he was not afraid of hardship or tiredness, but he turned around and threw it to King Nan. He really knew how to ask for rewards and judge things.

"In that case, then you go."

"Yes." Nan Wang agreed, without even looking at Shen Zaiye next to him, he retreated in a few steps.

The emperor continued to look at the chessboard, but his mind was no longer on the game.

"The last time Aiqing commented on my princes, when it comes to King Nan, he only commented on his innocence." After a long time, the emperor said softly: "I think that he is actually practical and capable. The impetuousness of the other princes has the air of a general."

"Really?" Shen Zaiye lowered his eyes and said indifferently: "I have never noticed that, speaking of ability, none of His Majesty's princes is more capable than Prince Jing."

King King?The emperor chuckled lightly, the meaning in his eyes was unclear.

Originally, he valued Wuji very much, but... well, let's look at it more, anyway, he is not in a hurry to establish a crown prince.

After resting for an hour, everyone was almost rectified, and the emperor happily took Concubine Lan on a double-saddle horse to go for a walk up the mountain.

"Master Xiang also brings Jiang Shi here." Concubine Lan Gui smiled, looked at Shen Zaiye and said, "I just said that Master Xiang is good at hunting, which can open Jiang Shi's eyes."

The palace servants had already brought the double-saddle horses over, so Shen Zaiye nodded at the emperor and the noble concubine, and stretched out his hands to hug Taohua onto the horse.

"Finally I have a chance to ask you." Leaning against his chest, Taohua grabbed the pommel and asked in a low voice: "What's your relationship with Concubine Lan Gui?"

With a dark face, Shen Zaiye said with some displeasure: "Are you talking nonsense in front of her?"

"No, no." Immediately waving his hands, Tao Hua said, "I only heard from her that you are her elder brother."

elder brother?Shen Zaiya pursed his lips: "Even if it is, it doesn't matter now, you can just treat her as a noble concubine."

Nothing to do?Taohua looked at him with raised eyebrows, and there was more teasing in her eyes: "The concubine is watching, the empress is still very concerned about the master, could it be that before..."

"Shut up!" Shen Zaiye scolded with a knife in his eyes, "What kind of place is this? How dare you talk like that?"

Heart skipping a beat, Taohua quickly covered her mouth and looked around.

The emperor's guard of honor has gone to the front, and their horses are surrounded by guards, but they are far away, so they should not have heard them.

"I know I'm wrong." She covered her mouth and said inarticulately: "I don't ask anymore."

"Hurry up!" Shen Sheng ordered, and Shen Zaye rode his horse away from the guards next to him, and took another path up the mountain.

The horse ran too fast, and Tao Hua screamed in fright, no matter how hard she grasped the saddle, she felt uneasy, so she just firmly grasped the waistband of the person behind her to be sure!

"You want to strangle me?" Shen Zaiye roared through gritted teeth.

"I... I'm scared!" Tao Hua wanted to cry without tears: "Slow down!"

"It's too slow, what else is there to hit?" With a cold snort, Shen Zaiye stretched out his hand and drew out the long arrow behind his back, put it on the bow and shot it towards the distance.

Before Taohua saw anything, she heard cheers from behind, and a guard shouted: "It's a rabbit!"

Can this also be shot?Taohua was surprised, she turned her head to look at the human behind her and said, "I always thought you were a civil servant, and you didn't know how to use martial arts."

"So all the swords in my hidden compartment are for display?" Shen Zaiya glanced at him with disgust, and drew his arrow while saying, "In your heart, what kind of person am I?"

"A poisonous snake covered with golden scales." Tao Hua said honestly.

Shen Zaye: "..."

She will never forget the word "venomous snake" for the rest of her life, will she? !
Furious, Shen Zaiye reached out and picked her up, hanging in the air: "In order to reward your honesty, the poisonous snake wants to give you a pair of wings, go fly!"

As he said that, he made a gesture to throw her out.

"Master!" Tao Hua was so frightened that she scratched her hands and feet, tears were about to come out: "You can't do this! Every time I want my concubine to tell the truth, but I don't like to listen, so I just let my concubine lie!"

"Then you told a lie to hear?"

"My lord is the gentlest, kindest and best-looking man in this world!"

Hehe laughed twice, Shen Zaiye's face became even uglier: "You'd better fly bravely!"

"Don't!" Pulling his clothes, Tao Hua engulfed him like an octopus, and said with tears in her eyes, "Master, it's the best, because this concubine is so petite and doesn't take up much space." , let me put my concubine right away?"

Squinting her eyes, Shen Zaiye let go with a soft snort, allowing her to hold him tightly, then drew an arrow and shot it into the grass.

Something was shot in the tree behind, and the guards caught up to look, and shouted: "Grass snake!"

"Wow!" Taohua shuddered, and whispered, "It's so cruel that even the same kind will not be spared..."

"Jiang Taohua." A calm voice came from above, "If you have the guts, just say what you just said."

"My concubine said that my master is suave, handsome, unrestrained and extraordinary, he is really a shining pearl in the great Wei Dynasty!" She said it in one breath, her face was not red and her heart was not beating, and her peach eyes were full of sincerity: "I can ride with my master!" One day, my concubine will die without any regrets!"

Unable to get angry and unable to laugh, Shen Zaiye shook his head, the arrows shot harder and harder, and small animals kept suffering, but the guards behind him cheered.

The man's unique strong aura came from him, and Tao Hua suddenly felt that if this man was not so cruel, he would still be quite reliable.Lying down in his arms, it felt like the sky would not fall on her.

It's just that he hits so many things, what if he has more than the emperor?
The two went up the mountain all the way, and just passed through the jungle when a cold arrow shot from nowhere.With a murderous look, Shen Zaiye pulled Taohua and lay down on the horse, narrowly avoiding it.
