"This is categorically impossible!" As far as he knew, King Cheng was an old fox, and after those courtiers went, instead of being able to get the news out of his mouth, they might steal chickens and rice.

What he doesn't want to reveal, even if the emperor comes forward in person, it's useless, so he has been living their own little life with Liu Qingshao, and he doesn't care about the matter of becoming the king!

Recently, Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao have been too leisurely, and the attention of the ministers of the court and the central government is all focused on King Cheng and his wife, and they don't have the heart to trouble them at all.

In addition to going to the military department and going to the court, Xiao Hanyin has been staying at home to accompany Liu Qingshao to study new dishes.

It's been a long time since they've had such a quiet day.

After Liu Qingshao and the others stayed at home for more than half a month, she suddenly wanted to go out for a walk, Xiao Hanyin didn't want to ruin her interest, so she accompanied her.

The two were in a good mood and bought a lot of things, although Liu Qingshao likes to design clothes and jewelry by herself, but when she sees something that interests her, she will not hesitate to buy it.

After all, although the dresses she designs are good, the dresses of some ready-to-wear stores are also good-looking.

The ancient embroidery is really beautiful, and Liu Qingshao likes it very much, but unfortunately it can't be like modern times, wearing some comfortable and good-looking dresses.

Liu Qingshao used to like cheongsam very much, but after arriving in ancient times, she didn't have the opportunity to wear it again......

They were tired of walking, so Liu Qingshao planned to go to her restaurant to rest, and eat something by the way before returning home.

The meals in the restaurant are all seasonings made by her, although the taste is a little different from what she made, but it is also delicious.

Nowadays, Liu Qingshao's restaurant is a prosperous place in the imperial city.

Her restaurant is always constantly innovating, and it won't bore those who love good food.

Liu Qingshao was a restaurant in her previous life, so she naturally knew what the guests cared about the most.

Her business is doing well, in fact, it is inseparable from the dishes in the restaurant and her management model......

When Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao went to the restaurant, they happened to meet King Cheng.

Originally, they had planned to go to the private room, but when they saw the other person walking towards them, they had to stop.

King Cheng recognized them at a glance and took the initiative to come over to greet them.

"Lord Wang!" The two made a simple half-salute.

"You don't have to be so restrained outside, I just booked a private room and went in and sat together?" Become king.

The two of them looked at each other, both of them a little reluctant.

However, King Cheng took the initiative to speak, and if they didn't agree, they would definitely offend him.

Xiao Hanyin didn't want to have a holiday with King Cheng, so he agreed.

After all, at the moment, they didn't know what King Cheng wanted to do when he came back, and the emperor didn't allow them to investigate the matter again, so Xiao Hanyin had no choice but to stop.

However, he believes that as long as it is a fox, sooner or later it will show its tail, and if this king keeps his duty, presumably the emperor will not really attack him.

After the three of them went to the private room, Liu Qingshao secretly gave the guy in the restaurant a look, asked him to serve a pot of tea, and bring a few plates of snacks, as for the rest of the food, he had to wait for King Cheng to order it himself.

"This king has heard of your husband and wife a long time ago, but unfortunately in the days when I came back, I haven't been able to talk to you, I met today, this king wants to have a few drinks with you!"

After King Cheng finished speaking, he ordered someone to get the wine, and at the same time ordered some of the restaurant's signature dishes.

"The prince praised it falsely!" Xiao Hanyin's expression was flat, and his performance was measured.

The other party is the prince of the first emperor himself, and as a five-grade official, even if he is unhappy, he can only be false and wronged with him, and he can't be driven away directly like everyone else.

It was rare for him to come out with Liu Qingshao to relax, so he met him, and it was really unbelievable that this matter was coincidental.

However, Xiao Hanyin really wanted to know what he would say to him.

"This king hasn't come back for so long, the imperial city has changed a lot!" King Cheng glanced at Xiao Hanyin and said, "This king remembers that when this king left, your father had just been married for less than a year, but I didn't expect you to marry now!" ”

Xiao Hanyin didn't want to accept this, so he simply kept silent.

But anything related to his father, unless necessary, Xiao Hanyin didn't want to mention it.

He is a person who loves and hates clearly, since he has long lost the love between father and son, he will not deliberately suppress himself for the sake of face, and go to play a big drama of father's love and filial piety.

And because of this, the emperor did not make things difficult for him and his brother Xiao Hanchen.

Xiao Yifeng is old, but he is still alive, and he is ambitious to learn from the dragon's work, but unfortunately he has already lost the opportunity.

But he couldn't see it, and he was still thinking about climbing up.

However, Xiao Hanyin knew that the emperor would not give him a chance.

Therefore, he never asked about Xiao Yifeng's affairs, and since he moved out, he even left the General's Mansion aside.

Xiao Hanyin knew very well that the emperor was a suspicious person, and if he got too close to Xiao Yifeng, he would definitely cause disaster.

Therefore, when King Cheng mentioned Xiao Yifeng in front of him, he didn't want to answer at all.

King Cheng also seemed to see the impatience in Xiao Hanyin's eyes, so he simply changed the topic.

Xiao Yifeng's feud with his second son has long been spread throughout the imperial city.

He went back for half a month, and he had already found out these things, and the reason why he mentioned Xiao Yifeng was just to test for himself whether the rumors outside were true or false......

Now it seems that Xiao Hanyin and Xiao Yifeng's father and son are indeed not harmonious.

"Since the king came back, many people in the court have come to see the king in person, but they haven't seen you, and the king is quite surprised!" King Cheng vaguely showed the suspicion in his heart.

He thought that Xiao Hanyin would go to his house to pay a visit like everyone else, but instead of that, he took the initiative to avoid it. 135 Chinese

King Cheng felt as if he was deliberately avoiding himself and didn't want to get involved with him.

The ministers of the court and the central government flattered him everywhere, and King Cheng didn't want to deal with them at all.

However, this Xiao Hanyin aroused his interest in wanting to be tempted.

"The status of the lower official, I rashly went to visit the prince, I am afraid that the prince will not like it!" Xiao Hanyin found an insincere excuse.

He was not afraid at all that the other party would know that he did it on purpose.

Originally, he didn't plan to have anything to do with King Cheng, he was the emperor's subordinate, how could he personally visit a person who had snatched the throne with the emperor.

Although the emperor doesn't say it, he has always been afraid of becoming a king in his heart.

Even if his throne has long been secured, the appearance of King Cheng will remind many people of what happened back then.

What the emperor doesn't like the most is that it has passed.

Most of the ministers in the court went to visit King Cheng, in fact, to find out the purpose of his return and test his attitude.

No one will get too close to him.

"Lord Xiao is too modest, you can worship the five grades at a young age, and you will definitely have a bright future in the future!" King Cheng's eyes flashed slightly.

He didn't expect Xiao Hanyin's mind to be hidden so deeply, that he couldn't even see through it.

"Xiaguan has never had any great ambitions, he just wants to live a good life with Neiko!" Xiao Hanyin said euphemistically, he didn't care about his future, "Neiko's biggest interest is to do business, and Xia Guan feels that his current life is very good!" ”

"This king thought that Lord Xiao was ambitious, but he didn't expect that he was also a hero and sad to pass the beauty pass!" King Cheng said with a smile.

Xiao Hanyin has never been a person who likes to chase fame and fortune.

"Fame, fortune and wealth will eventually be a passing cloud, only a wife can accompany me to the end of my life, and the inner son is what I worked hard to marry home, and the future is not as important as the inner son for me!"

Xiao Hanyin deliberately gave people the feeling that he only loves beauty and does not want fame and fortune.

He knew that King Cheng said this and wanted to find out the bottom of their husband and wife.

But it's a pity that he is destined to be disappointed, even if the emperor promises to be a high-ranking official, Xiao Hanyin will not be moved, not to mention that this person is not right-minded.

Xiao Hanyin had guessed that he must have a plan to return to the Imperial City, but this person was extremely good at hiding and would not let people discover his purpose so quickly.

As a result, half a month passed, and he couldn't help it, and Xiao Hanyin found that he seemed to really think highly of him.

However, no matter what his plans are, they have nothing to do with himself and Liu Qingshao.

Twenty years have passed, and everything he has is no longer comparable to what he was back then......

King Cheng tried several times, but Xiao Hanyin skillfully blocked him, and he was very unhappy.

What Xiao Hanyin said in his mouth sounded good, but the truth was not at all.

Although he is only a petty official, he has a deep trust from the emperor and the crown prince, and secretly has a higher power than the third-rank officials in the court.

Xiao Hanyin was one of the leaders of the mysterious organization secretly established by the emperor before.

Not many people know this secret, but King Cheng has already found out.

The power in Xiao Hanyin's hands made him defensive.

So, he wanted to take this opportunity to talk to him properly.

After all, Xiao Hanyin had been locked up in the prison by the emperor for so long before, and he didn't believe that the other party really had no resentment at all.

The emperor's style of acting is still the same as before.

This is also the reason why some people wanted to support him as the new emperor back then.

His suspicions were too heavy, and everyone was afraid that after he ascended the throne, he would die at his hands sooner or later.

It's a pity that he finally chose to leave, otherwise there would be no emperor today......

Xiao Hanyin deliberately went around in circles with him, and also belittled his and Liu Qingshao's identities, which made King Cheng very angry.

How big Liu Qingshao's business is, he already knows before he arrives in the imperial city.

Such a woman with monstrous financial resources, in his mouth, has become a businesswoman who likes to do some business.

King Cheng was annoyed by his ignorance, but it was not good to attack directly, after all, Xiao Hanyin did not lie to him.

Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao didn't want to continue to entangle with him, so after dealing with him for a few words, they directly found an excuse and left......

After going back, Liu Qingshao frowned and said, "Ah Yin, I think King Cheng seems to have known that we were going to the restaurant, so he deliberately waited for us there!" ”

"Hmm!" Xiao Hanyin thought the same as her.

King Cheng did not meet them by chance, but deliberately found someone to inquire about their whereabouts, and then stopped them directly when they went to the restaurant.

What he said earlier didn't sound like much at first glance.

But when I thought about it carefully, I found that there were other meanings implied in each of his sentences.

Xiao Hanyin was sure that he had investigated himself and Liu Qingshao in private, otherwise he would not have had a trace of coldness in his eyes after hearing his words.

Although he quickly covered it up, he was still noticed by Xiao Hanyin.

"The emperor has always arranged for people to follow us before, and not only that, but even the crown prince has been targeted by the Ouchi guards, and I have never been able to figure it out about this matter!" Xiao Han said thoughtfully.
