Chapter Twenty-Four: The Prince

After entering the palace, Zheng Yuan was specially rewarded by the emperor for repeatedly resisting the barbarian Mongol invaders. This year happens to be the emperor's 70th birthday, and the whole day celebrates together, and double happiness is coming. And because of his courage to report Prime Minister Du's actions, the emperor sighed that he was a rare talent. But as the Son of Heaven, in addition to appreciation, he also has a trace of sorrow. The Zheng family is in a high position, and if there is a rebellion, it will definitely bring heavy disasters to the country, so he thought of a trick to marry the sister of the most favored second prince, Princess --- Heshuo, to him, so as to firmly bind him to the imperial family. And Zheng Yuan knew that the emperor was asking for his opinion on the surface, but in fact he was forcing him as the Son of Heaven. Therefore, in front of the emperor, he did not reply positively.

First, I am afraid of bringing trouble to the Zheng family. Second, he needed to come up with a perfect way to refuse the emperor, so he was worried on the way back. Seeing that he was about to walk to the palace gate, he happened to meet the second prince's sedan chair---- hugging his two concubines left and right. A circle of slaves and maids surrounds the sedan chair, serving at any time, shaking a fan or carrying snacks on a tray.

Zheng Yuan turned around and walked back, but was noticed by the sharp-eyed second prince. He shouted; "General Zheng." Motioned for the sedan to speed up and catch up with him. As if he hadn't heard it, Zheng Yuan also accelerated forward. "Hurry up, catch up with General Zheng, this prince will reward you with a fragrant kiss."

When the slaves and maids heard the prince say this, they were all overjoyed and caught up with Zheng Yuan at double the speed.

"General Zheng, don't come unharmed."

Zheng Yuan glanced at him on the sedan chair, and the movements on his feet still did not stop. The second prince looked at him for a while, and saw that his face was not very good, but he said calmly: "General Zheng, you still have morning rice hanging from the corner of your mouth..."

Zheng Yuandi's footsteps really slowed down, and he quietly licked the corners of his mouth. "Ha, you see, he was bluffed by this prince." The second prince proudly showed off to the concubines on the left and right. All the maids snickered, but they didn't dare to make a sound, Zheng Yuan glared at them fiercely, and the maidservants couldn't help but laugh and turned their backs.

"Now that the emperor is in poor health, it is rare that the second prince still has such a good luck, and he is torn between women's sex and fun."

"Don't be angry, general, I'm just joking with you... However, listening to your tone with a sour taste, it is not envy that I have a beautiful woman to accompany me. If the general doesn't dislike it, just pick a few and take them away. The second prince said to the maidservants who bowed their heads, "Raise your heads, so that the general can have a good look at your faces." All the maidservants raised their heads, and threw their eyes at Zheng Yuan affectionately. Zheng Yuan took a few steps back and refused: "Thank you for the prince's kindness, Zheng Yuan is already a person, and his love is unswerving." ”

The second prince took the peach blossom cake presented by the maidservant, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, Sven chewed a piece, and said jokingly: "The general is so cute, I just said it casually, no need to be nervous." ”

Hearing such praise, Zheng Yuan was a little embarrassed, and sweat began to break out on his head. "Come here, General Zheng."

Although he was extremely reluctant, because of his identity, Zheng Yuan had to walk in front of the second prince and look at him vigilantly. The second prince bowed his head to his ear and said softly as jade: "On a hot day, you should wear less." As he spoke, he touched Zheng Yuan's face and said disgustedly: "Look, I can touch the sweat of this prince's hand." Then, flicking the sweat drops with his index finger, Zheng Yuan realized that the second prince was teasing him, his face turned from sunny to cloudy, and his face twitched slightly.

"The food in the house must be good, and the face is better than last year's." The second prince wanted to pinch his face again, but Zheng Yuan dodged away. "It's nothing, my subordinates have retired." He couldn't wait to leave, but unexpectedly, the second prince refused to let her go and grabbed his arm. Zheng Yuan subconsciously pulled back with a backhand, and the two of them looked at each other like torches, and neither of them would let go. "Second prince, the joke is a bit excessive."

They switched directions and continued to twist each other's arms. "Is it excessive? Can... This prince.. No kidding. ”

The palms of the second prince began to sweat, and taking this opportunity, Zheng Yuan suddenly dragged him off the sedan chair. The concubines on the left and right sides were frightened, and shouted in unison: "Second prince! At this time, the second prince rushed towards Zheng Yuan, the two of them wrestled together, and all the maidservants came over one after another, helping the two of them up. The prince is falling! The two concubines ran down from the sedan chair and shouted at Zheng Yuan in distress: "You ordinary man, you broke the prince, can you afford to pay for it?" ”

One of the concubines slammed Zheng Yuan's arm. "We're joking." The second prince patted the dust on his body, and suddenly stared at the concubine as if he had discovered a new continent and said, "The concubine's powder doesn't seem to be evenly smeared."
