New Year's bells weave through the vast palace. The outside of the house was already snow-white, but the inside of the palace was as warm as spring.

A thick velvet blanket was spread on the floor of the elegantly decorated warm pavilion, and the young man sat on the ground with his back against the couch, happily looking at the Dongzhu inlaid on the handle of the dagger. The slaves and maids who were waiting in the room knelt quietly beside each other.

The curtain on the door of the warm pavilion was raised, and someone walked in.

"Cousin is here, come and sit." The young boy beckoned someone to come closer.

The man obediently walked up to the child, but instead of sitting, he bowed respectfully and bowed.

"My cousin is always so polite. How can I afford such a big gift? Childe looked at the man with a smile and fiddled with the dagger in his hand. but they did not tell him to get up.

"Your Highness has a noble status, and it is right for Your Highness to give you a salute."

Childe laughed loudly and sent the slaves and maidservants out. "The edict has been sent?"

"Back to Your Highness, it has been sent out early in the morning, and at this moment, the waste lady is already being admonished."

Childe smiled and nodded, stroking the Dongzhu in his hand. "Sometimes I admire him a lot, after so many years, he can actually endure it and let his mother suffer for him, such a person is also worthy of being a monarch? This Dongzhu was still on his crown in the past, as if it was still the treasure of the East China Sea, but now it has become a plaything, which is a pity. ”

The man did not speak, but knelt quietly beside him.

"How's my father's health?"

"Your Majesty is fine, but the diet is not as good as before."

"Well, the king's body must be strong, otherwise the wealthy families are afraid that they will be ready to move." Childe's eyebrows swept over the kneeling man, and a smile suddenly welled up. "My cousin's family has always been responsible for reviewing and supervising the crimes of the royal family, and they are the closest outsiders to the royal family, and they are used to seeing the tricks in between. His Majesty trusts his cousin, but not the other royal families. There are branches and branches among the royal family, and now there is a high-ranking in-law among the prisoners in your hands, if the new king ascends the throne in the future, how does my cousin think he should deal with himself between the king and the wealthy family? Childe paused, still smiling, "Of course, judging from the current prosperity of my cousin's family, maybe I can get more soup this time?" ”

As soon as Childe's words fell, the man bowed his head. "Your Royal Highness is the crown prince, commensurate with the king's lineage, loyal to you, and loyal to Your Majesty. Remember. ”

"Cousin has worked hard. Although the king of Jian is young, as the heir of the king, he will definitely have ambitions. For the sake of the country's security, it is better to clear it as soon as possible. ”

"Your Majesty obeys, Your Highness the Prince."

As the man walked out of the pavilion, the snow began to fall again. The little guy guarding outside the palace hurriedly handed over a thick coat, but he pushed it away with one hand. In the cold winter weather, he was sweating profusely.
