Chapter 167: A Curious Background

During this time, the emperor and his entourage arrived at a small courtyard. To be honest, L.A. is a bit big, and this place is really the first time I've been here.

But what he didn't expect was that the place where the emperor used to live was quite charming. And the small courtyard is actually planted with some orchids. When he arrived at the small courtyard, the emperor came down and was greeted by an old man in person.

The old man seemed to be preparing in advance, and he was a little excited to see the emperor, but he was speechless.

Fang Ji had come into contact with two mutes, one was dumb Gu and the other was Zhao Miao, and he knew that the old man in front of him was also dumb.

"Okay, I'm back. Lead the way. The emperor looked at the old man who grabbed his hand, but showed a little tenderness.

Luo Shangshu ...... Who is the old man? ”

"He was an old slave when His Majesty was the crown prince before, and we used to call him Uncle Cheng, but His Majesty did not enter the palace with His Majesty after he ascended the throne. After all, you know, you can only enter the palace as a eunuch or a guard......"

Fang Ji nodded. It seems that the emperor still has some feelings for his old man. In fact, the emperor really did not liquidate the four brothers of his royalist party. However, although the relationship between Luo Hai and the emperor is good, there is obviously a gap, it is clear that there must be some reason for this.

What Fang Ji didn't expect was that this old man was a little ingenious, in addition to planting orchids, there were many things in the back room that looked like manual work.

And the old man Uncle Cheng obviously doesn't live alone, but there is a little girl following behind. The little girl smiled when she saw the emperor, and personally loosened something for the emperor.

And for some reason, Fang Ji can be regarded as the second time he saw the emperor with some tenderness in addition to just now. Although he doesn't regard the little girl as his daughter, it is very different from the emperor in his impression.

"This little girl was adopted by Uncle Cheng, and it seems that I have only seen it in recent years." Luo Hai recalled.

Fang Ji knew that Luo Hai did not accompany the emperor on the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, but obviously Luo Hai was the most frequent.

Everyone here followed the emperor, and the emperor entered the house, but everyone stopped. As the candles were lit inside, the emperor said to come in, and the others officially "entered the house".

At this time, Fang Ji saw a painting on the wall, and there was a woman in the painting. And this woman is a little graceful and luxurious, but she looks a little fresh. But the most important thing is that the background painting is bamboo.

Then the identity of the hostess in this painting is obviously Zhu Guifei herself. Knowing this, Fang Ji was not surprised, after all, this was the emperor's favorite courtyard before. And Zhu Guifei heard that she was very popular with the emperor before, so it is not surprising that her paintings are here.

It's just that Fang Ji glanced at the name of the painter at this time...... But I was a little surprised......

The painting was painted by Gu Yu......

At this time, the emperor and the old man Uncle Cheng were talking about something, but they pointed to the halberd sitting on the other side. Uncle Cheng looked at Fang Ji and was naturally a little puzzled, gesturing with something in his hand.

After spending some time with Dumb Gu, Fang Ji can understand some sign language. At this time, I know that Uncle Cheng is here, but who is the emperor? And why send him a yard.

Fang Ji was puzzled, it seemed that the emperor wanted to send him a courtyard, but it seemed to be true.

At this time, Fang Ji wanted to get closer to listen, after all, although he could hear the movement, but if he wanted to hear what people were saying, he still had to take a few steps closer.

But as he approached, two guards stopped him.

When the emperor saw the movement, he called: "It's okay, let Fang Ji come over." ”

This made the two princes curious, after all, although they knew that from the way they looked just now, the emperor seemed to like Fang Halberd very much. But at this time, when the emperor communicated with the old slave Uncle Cheng, no one usually dared to disturb him.

But Fang Halberd passed, and the emperor actually asked him to come over.

Fang Ji was also a little "flattered" here, and after getting closer, Uncle Cheng looked at Fang Ji and frowned at first, but then his eyes lit up.

Uncle Cheng was about to gesture for something, but he saw that Uncle Cheng's hand was pressed down by the emperor. Obviously, the emperor knew that Fang Ji could read sign language, and he didn't let Uncle Cheng compare here.

Fang Ji was puzzled, it was obvious that Uncle Cheng wanted to compare something. Especially when you see him.

This is what makes Fang Ji a little puzzled...... Could it be that Uncle Cheng knows about him? But it doesn't make sense. First, this Uncle Cheng is like a person who is busy with his own affairs. Although there are rumors and deeds about him in the market, there are actually very few people who have actually seen him.

So...... Fang Ji thought of a possibility as soon as he thought about it...... Could it be that what kind of background do you have in this life?

However, there is a strange background. It's impossible for the old ghost not to tell him......

At this time, Fang Ji was puzzled, and when he saw Uncle Cheng stepping forward, he was still looking at his face.

Fang Ji looked at the emperor suspiciously, but seeing that the emperor was glancing at him, he signaled him not to move. It's even more strange to think that something is wrong.

Then this Uncle Cheng actually wanted to reach out and touch his face, which made Fang Ji's eyes widen.

And Fang Ji looked at the emperor again, and the emperor still signaled him not to move. This made him even more confused.

Immediately, Uncle Cheng's calloused hands touched Fang Ji's face, but then his eyes seemed to be red, and he looked like he was about to cry.

Originally, Fang Ji was still a little resistant, but when he saw an old man like this, he didn't say anything more.

But the more this happened, the more suspicious Fang Ji became.

In other words, he looks very similar to someone, which makes Uncle Cheng so excited. And the emperor apparently saw it.

But here's the question, who does the halberd look like?

Could it be a bamboo concubine?!

Fang Ji's first reaction was to think that he might be the son of Zhu Guifei. So that means he's the emperor's son?!

But obviously, this answer was immediately denied by Fang Ji. There was not a trace of resemblance between the halberd and the emperor's facial features. And even if he hasn't seen Concubine Zhu, Brother Huai'er must have seen it. If Fang Ji is really similar to Zhu Guifei, Brother Huai'er can't hide it from him.

So Fang Ji immediately denied that he might be a "prince". After all, if this is the case, Fang Ji really doesn't know what to do.

However, Fang Ji also knew the old ghost, if his background was so shocking. The old ghost just doesn't say it, and there will be some hints. But apparently the old ghost didn't.

This means that his life experience is likely to have some relationship with the Zhao family, otherwise the old ghost would not let him go to the Zhao family to marry Wan'er.

But if it was related to the Zhao family, why didn't Mrs. Tai recognize him. Instead, it was the old man in front of him.

Fang Ji looked at this Uncle Cheng at this time, full of doubts.

To put it bluntly, he is a person who deceives people or debunks deception. But if he is asked to "guess", he is not as powerful as Brother Huai'er.

First of all, he is not a prince, and secondly, this Uncle Cheng is very excited to see him. You can't say that this Uncle Cheng is his grandfather or father......

Seeing Fang Ji's puzzled look here, the emperor smiled.

"Alright, don't guess. Just go back and sit down. After the emperor finished speaking, he waved his hand, and he was driving people away.

Fang Ji was stunned, feeling that he had been touched in vain and didn't know what was going on. What a mess.

"Uncle Cheng, go and open the wine I brought. Pour a glass for a few Aiqing and the accompanying guards. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the wine."

Fang Ji was stunned, these people had a tacit understanding at this time, only he was still thinking about what happened just now.

Of course, there is also a "bastard" among them, and that is Shadow. Shadow though the wit followed and said. But apparently this kind of etiquette is not what Ying likes to do.

But for some reason, I heard that there was alcohol, and Ying was also a little looking forward to it. But when they saw the wine, Fang Ji and she were also stunned.

Isn't this the wine of the Drunken Immortal Building? Fang Ji didn't know when the emperor bought it.

After all, although this wine is delicious, the emperor may not be able to see it. Now it seems that Lounan's wine has been affirmed by the emperor. If it is said to Lou Nan, this Lou Nan may be overjoyed, "Thank you Lord Longen".

But looking at the wine glass at this time, Ying was the first to drink it when he was "not afraid of death". I am not afraid that the dog emperor gave poisonous wine.

Of course, the halberd is not formal, and he drinks it all when he picks up the cup.

But seeing everyone else looking at the two of them made Fang Ji and Ying a little strange.

Fang Ji was okay to say, but Ying thought that something bad was wrong for him, and he was sloppy with Fang Ji at this time. Fang Ji's eyes signaled that she was fine, and this kind of squeezing of her eyebrows also made Shen Xia on the side a little unbearable.

The emperor also laughed: "It's okay, let's be casual today, so you don't have to say a toast." ”

Good guys, it turns out that there is such a stubble. Fang Ji didn't expect it to be so troublesome.

However, the emperor's Chrysostom opened, and the others drank it all.

And Luo Hai smacked his mouth at this time, but nodded: "Fang Ji, I will drink less wine in Jiangnan now, do you see if it is ......?"

"Don't worry, Lord Luo, wine is indispensable." Fang Ji was a little helpless with Luo Hai.

Fang Ji now feels that some of Brother Huai'er's personality is inherited from Luo Hai. For example, sometimes there are some "nonsense", although it is a bit incompatible with the "strict style" situation of Dawei. But it's also a little more intimate.

That's right, Dawei's style is still relatively strict, especially filial piety. Therefore, it is quite rare to be as "rebellious" as Brother Huai'er and Luo Hai to love his son so much.

The comparison is clear as long as you think about Yun Qinghe and Yun Guan, the father and son. Yun Qinghe is full of "corporal punishment" to Yun Guanna all the time.

Shen Xia was a little accustomed to this wine, after all, he had not drunk in the Drunken Immortal Mansion when he was still in the Drunken Immortal Fang.

Shen Xia laughed in a low voice at this time: "Brother Fang, you make people feel envious. There is wine, meat, and beauty. ”

Fang Ji was embarrassed to hear this. There are also beauties, such as Wan'er, such as Xiaoluo...... Or there are other ......

There was a lot of harmony in front of the hall, and even the guards were drinking and chatting. It seems that he did come here to rest and chat, and Luo Hai was not wrong.

But Fang Ji didn't feel relaxed at all. So the emperor hasn't got down to business until now, and he doesn't know what he's waiting for.

However, Fang Ji saw that the emperor was looking at the painting at this time, one was a painting of the bamboo concubine, and the other one was not at first Fang Ji was unconcerned. But it was strange to see that the emperor had been looking at this painting for longer than the one of Zhu Guifei.

At this point, the painting looks like a landscape painting. But there are clearly a few figures under the mountain.

And the emperor is more like looking at those figures.

Fang Ji's eyes were sharp, and he still saw the name signed. This time it wasn't Gu Yu's painting. Written on it is the word "Kiya".

At this time, Fang Ji didn't know that Qi Ya was Yan Xin's mother, and he only knew now that this was the person that Brother Huai had mentioned that he knew Gu Yu.

If Fang Ji knew that Qi Ya was the last princess of Nanqi, he would definitely ponder Xu Gang's motives. But apparently that's a story for later.

As for Luo Huai, who knows these things, he has now officially infiltrated the palace. At this time, he was hiding behind a rockery and was motionless......

"Luo Shangshu, apart from His Majesty who has lived here, who else has lived?"

"Who else ......" Luo Hai was stunned when he heard this question, but he also helped to think about it.

"I remember that it was a big official who lived during the time of Emperor Wen. I can't remember what it was called. But you and I know Huai'er well. He knew for sure. ”

Luo Hai is right, Brother Huai must know...... But now he was desperate to know something.

Just like Uncle Cheng. What is his relationship with himself?

"That Uncle Cheng...... His Majesty is so old, obviously he didn't follow His Majesty before. ”

"You guessed that. Uncle Cheng is the house slave of Zhu Guifei...... But it's good that you know. If I tell that Huai'er, I will embarrass this old man. ”

Fang Ji also laughed when he heard this. He could imagine that Brother Huai'er would definitely talk to this Uncle Cheng after he found out.

Hearing this at this time, Fang Ji had a bit of a clear meaning.

Then he actually knew that he was probably indeed related to Zhu Guifei. It's just that it shouldn't be the child of Zhu Guifei.

Uncle Cheng is the former house slave of Zhu Guifei. So where is this "home", that is, the family of Zhu Guifei?

Knowing this at this time, Fang Ji didn't have much to do. After all, although Luo Hai came from that era. But you don't necessarily know much more.

At this time, Fang Ji noticed that Uncle Cheng was beside him again, smiled, and shook the wine jar, as if he wanted to "refill the cup".

Fang Ji smiled bitterly at this glance, Uncle Cheng's attitude was difficult for people not to pay attention to.

Obviously, everyone present should have noticed Uncle Cheng's attitude towards the halberd.

However, Shen Xia saw it in his eyes, but he took the initiative to get up, and he and Uncle Cheng wanted to pour wine and drink. It seems that he is helping Fang Ji to break the siege, and he will not become the focus of attention of the audience.

But it's obviously useless, although Wang Linfu and Wang Liu are not looking at him now, they obviously have this matter in their hearts.

So this made Fang Ji feel depressed. He can now be sure that it was the emperor who gave him this house, not only for his daughter Liu Ruyan. It's likely that it's hinting at something in the other party's halberd.

Obviously, this is a hint at his background. Moreover, the emperor intended to mention him, but he didn't say anything, obviously wanting Fang Ji to understand it himself.

But he didn't seem to be shy about the people present, as if he also wanted them to guess what happened to Fang Ji.

Fang Ji was a little depressed here, he didn't care about his life experience at all in the past. But after tonight, I have to say that some seeds of curiosity have sprouted in my heart.

He naturally has no feelings for his family in this life, but knowing his life experience can be regarded as being responsible for this body.

Merely...... He didn't know if it was good or bad for him.
