5. Snails and woodpeckers

The snail is a snail who is willing to fall and humble himself to dust, and once thought about how to kill time and end his life.

Woodpecker is a well-known lady, but obsessed with living on the other side of the unknown.

This is a bloody encounter story, and it is also destined to be love at first sight.

In 1267, in the palace of the Mohu Dynasty, Hua Guifei Niangniang, who has been favored since entering the palace but has never been willing to give birth to an heir, was finally forced to become pregnant under family pressure...... The following year, he gave birth to his mother, who was not in pain, and his father ignored the most transparent six princes among his brothers and sisters, Ling Huliang.

Because the mother concubine was forced to enter the palace by the elders of the mother's family and gave birth to him, she has not been favored by her mother, and even disgusted, but Hua Guifei has a different attitude towards other concubines and children, and even did not hesitate to use the precious medicinal materials in her own treasury to recuperate for the fourth prince, who was only the son of a little nobleman at the time.

Since he was a child, he knew that his mother didn't like him, and at the beginning he still had the heart to make trouble, hoping to get the attention of his mother, who knew that the one who could treat everyone with a smile should be the woman who loved him the most, and he only ignored his crying indifferently, and even expelled him from the palace.

And his father, that is, the Mohu Emperor at that time, was very fond of his mother and concubine, but for him, the son who would make Hua Guifei not smile and even show a disgusted expression, he also had a different attitude, although he was not disgusted, but what was more hurtful was naked ignorance.

Although he is a little prince, but not favored means that there is no dignity at all, gradually, even the most humble little eunuch in the palace dared to speak ill of him in front of him, scolding him for being a disaster, but because of this, he lived to be safe and sound until he was nineteen years old and left the palace to live.

Sixteen or seventeen-year-old children are rebellious periods, and Linghu Liang's rebellious period has been from a teenager to nineteen years old nearly to the crown, the emperor wants him to do nothing he does, the master who teaches in the school vomits blood every day for this kind of headache student, and even thinks that he skips school and does not come to the school is a kind of redemption, but unfortunately Linghu Liang does not like to skip school, because then the master will not be angry to go to his father to complain.

Just when the master became a frequent visitor to the imperial study for three days and two ends for this uncarving six princes, the ministers of the court and the central government were also arguing about the establishment of the prince, and the new prime minister Xia Quan, who was extremely grateful for the care of the queen's mother's family, the Lin family, was extremely grateful for the imperial examination.

Even if the emperor was afraid of the Lin family's growing power and didn't want to establish a big prince, but for his own children, it was true that only the eldest prince could see the character and learning......

Especially the sixth child, it's a headache.

As soon as the candidate for the crown prince of the previous dynasty was decided, the harem exploded, and the queen Lin followed the edict of her son into the palace and secretly rubbed it to prepare for him to choose a concubine who was equal in wealth and status and could become his greatest help.

Ling Huliang didn't care about this, no matter who he could be named the supreme prince, it couldn't be him anyway, he just needed to be at ease.

It's just that His Royal Highness the Six Kings, who had just left the palace and lived alone in the palace, finally overturned in his own hangerlang.

At the right time, the queen personally pointed to Ye Jingxiao, the young lady of the Ye family, as the crown princess, the emperor acquiesced, and there was tension in the court, and the Ye family refused to agree to this marriage at all, and Ye Qi even asked the emperor to withdraw his will every day.

The shrewd ministers of the court can see that although the Lin family has developed rapidly over the years by relying on the stable status of the queen, but any family cannot avoid the law of making a big move, the great cause of the family has always been low-key, except for the four major families, only the Ye family has this background, and the Lin family wants to climb the high branch of the Ye family, I am afraid that they will miss a game of chess.

What's more, Ye Jingxiao, the eldest lady of the Ye family, is one of the best talented women in the capital, who can write and martial arts, and is the dream lover that many noble sons want to marry in their dreams.

As usual, he wandered in the streets and alleys, and sneered at the little gossip around him about this marriage, everyone is beautiful, isn't it a woman who grows carefree under the wings of the family, is she very favored, and she can climb a good marriage at the end, it is really a pearl in the palm of her hand, where is like him, even if he is a prince, he is just a prince who is mediocre and mediocre to the dust, and he can be bullied by everyone.

Even the Hua family is no longer willing to get involved with him, for fear that one day he will cause an incident and affect the family.

"Heh, don't worry, it's impossible for that old man to really let Miss Ye become the crown princess." He snorted coldly, shook the purse in his hand, left the two little guys who were still whispering, and walked into the largest Jinhua gambling house in the capital.

"Hey, Your Highness can't say that about the Holy One!" Although I have shouted so rudely several times.

The bustle and hustle and bustle of the gambling hall all day long, the shirtless stepping on the stool, holding the wine bowl, showing the muscles and shaking the dice, in the slightly dimly lit hall, everywhere you look, you can see the spittle stars splashed out by the scolding people under the faint sunlight thrown in, the gorgeously dressed people, the plain people, and even the unclothed people want to come here for a shit luck.

Linghu Liang knew that this Jinhua gambling house was a gambling house on the surface, but secretly it was also doing disgusting things, but at the feet of a genius like the capital, he didn't dare to be too rampant.

As soon as he walked into the door, the dealer recognized him at a glance, curled up his wide sleeves and walked over bewitchingly with his weak body: "Yo, isn't this the sixth prince?" I didn't come a few days ago, but it makes people want to die! The little white face said and pasted it on him, he took two steps back very facelessly, frowned and said with disgust: "Stay away from this king, the vulgar fat powder smell is really pungent." ”

The white-faced boy slapped the folding fan to cover half of his face and chuckled: "The six princes don't dislike the smell of sweat in my little broken temple, they don't like the fat powder fragrance on the villain's body......" Ling Huliang didn't want to pay attention to him, and turned around and went to the innermost table, "Lord, why is he so indifferent today, the villain really annoys the prince somewhere......" "Can you shut up?" He sat down and was about to reach for the dice, when his limbs trembled at such a seductive sound.

"Ah, Lord Wang......" The white-faced little boy picked his lips, and even sat on his lap, hooking his neck: "You haven't been here for so many days, the villain really wants to ......" Before he finished speaking, Ling Huliang threw away the bamboo tube in his hand, grabbed his collar and walked to the depths of the store. The banker's son clinged to him with a seductive smile on his face, until he walked into the private room where Linghu Liang often came.

It's just that neither of them noticed the petite figure that followed them far behind.

"You asked for it."

Just when Ling Huliang was in dire straits and looked into the right place, there was a crisp knocking sound on the door of the private room, his mind instantly froze, and he looked at the door in surprise, only to hear a girl's voice faintly coming from the beam: "Yo, isn't this His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince?" Sorry to excuse me. ”

It's like a basin of cold water that extinguishes the fire of the burning body.

Ling Huliang stared coldly at the place where the sound came from, and he really didn't know who it was, until Yu Qing, who was under him, smiled and covered his body with a futon, and then spoke: "Isn't this Miss Ye, the gambling king?" I'm free to come to our gambling house today, I wonder if Miss's harvest is okay today? ”

The king of gambling? Miss Ye?

Ling Huliang's head was like being forced to start again after crashing, and he really didn't dare to imagine that the Miss Ye in the mouth of the gambling house dealer would be the same person that he knew.

"Hehe, the sixth prince doesn't know yet, Miss Ye is a frequent visitor to our Jinhua Gambling House, and her gambling skills can be described as a must, no one has ever been able to bet on Miss Ye......" Yu Qing didn't seem to expect this aunt to appear here, and changed the topic in a little panic.

"Miss Ye just went to the gambling house? Do you also like to visit this ecstasy cave? Ling Huliang sneered and ridiculed, the business behind this Jinhua gambling house is not the ecstasy cave that specializes in raising young people, and even the dealer is also the top card of this ecstasy cave.

The girl on the beam heard his sneer, and jumped down from the beam lightly, not caring at all about the two big men on the bed.

"No, no, Miss Ben only visits the gambling house." She sat cross-legged next to the Eight Immortals table, and there was a sudden commotion outside the door, as if there were many people breaking into this building, seeing Yu Qing's gradually pale face, Ye Jingxiao smiled slightly: "Today, I am running an errand for the Beijing Mansion, and I will go into this ecstasy cave and take a turn." ”

Sure enough, the voices of the officers and soldiers outside were getting closer and closer, and Yu Qing got up from the bed in a panic as if jumping out of the window to escape, and she grabbed her and twisted her arms and pressed her to the ground, so that before Hu Liang could react, the door was kicked open, and two officers and soldiers walked in: "Miss Ye, everyone has been arrested!" ”

"Well, this is the top card and the dealer of Jinhua Casino, take it away." She handed it over, and saw that the two officers and soldiers noticed Ling Huliang on the bed: "Is this son a prostitute?" ”

"Ah, no, no, no, this is Miss Ben's helper." Just when Ling Huliang thought that he had to go to Beijing Mansion, he didn't expect Ye Jingxiao to give him a step down, and he was surprised.

"Okay, the matter of Lord Qi in the capital is over, do you want the sixth prince to go to the gambling house with the little girl to play two cups?" The sixteen or seventeen-year-old woman, who was obviously already in her prime, did not lose the posture of a little girl, stretched her waist lazily, and wanted to pull Ling Huliang to the gambling house to play.

God sent the ghost, and Linghu Liang actually agreed.

What happened in the Ecstasy Cave behind, the lively gambling house in front of which couldn't hear people didn't know anything, but when Ye Jingxiao appeared at the door, the entire hall seemed to be still, and they all stayed away from the gambling table she wanted to go to, and Ling Huliang behind her was dumbfounded.

"Hey, Sixth Prince, do you want to discuss something?" "Well, you say."

"Can you not tell others that Miss Ye often comes here?" "Doesn't Lord Qi of Jingfu already know?"

Ling Huliang rolled the dice quite curiously, and as expected, Ye Jingxiao won the bet again.

"Miss Ben has already sealed her mouth over there, and if you don't say it, no one will know." The little woman on the other side smiled slightly, revealing full cunning.

"Ben Wang...... If it is hidden for you, what good will it be? ”

"Oh, if you don't say it......" Ye Jingxiao racked her brains and thought about what she could give him, and finally deflated: "If you don't say it, Miss Ben...... Miss Ben can take you to win all the invincible players in the casino! How is it? ”

Linghu Liang stared at her fixedly, with a somewhat tangled expression, and threw the dice that he lost again.

"Okay."
