After Bai Qingqing and Chu Yaocen finished talking, they walked to the courtyard where they lived. Not long after leaving, a man in black suddenly appeared in front of her, opened his mouth and asked, "How are things going?" ”

Bai Qingqing was startled, hurriedly took two steps back, and after seeing the person who came, he covered his chest and said with a sigh of relief: "What are you doing?" Suddenly appeared, it scared the hell out of nowhere! ”

When the man in black heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and said: "Subordinates should be damned, it was the master who asked his subordinates to come over to inquire about the situation, and the subordinates felt that the Chu family had a lot of eyes and had to finish things as soon as possible, so they were in a hurry, so they were scared ......."

"Get out of the way, get up." Bai Qingqing waved his hand at him, and after the man got up, Bai Qingqing said to him: "You go back and tell him that the matter is already more than half settled, and Chu Yaocen will go to King Kang's Mansion tomorrow." ”

"Yes!" The man answered, and hurried away.

Bai Qingqing also breathed a sigh of relief, and when he saw that there was no one around, he pretended that nothing had happened and went back to his yard.

After Chu Yaocen went back, he told Qingdi everything that Bai Qingqing told him, and when Qingdi heard that Chu Yaocen was going to ask King Kang for Bai Qingqing, Qingdi's face suddenly became not very good-looking, but she did not lose her temper immediately, but slowly turned around, looking unwilling to listen anymore.

When Chu Yaocen saw her like this, he knew that she was angry, and hurriedly went over to coax her: "Baby, why are you angry again?" Do you disagree with me helping Bai Qingqing? ”

Qingdi snorted coldly: "It's your business whether you help her or not, and you don't have to discuss it with me." ”

Chu Yaocen was speechless, silent for a while, and hugged her from behind and said: "Little fox, I'm all doing this for your good, you see that now it is clear that the He family likes Bai Qingqing very much, so he wants to win Bai Qingqing to deal with you together, if you let Bai Qingqing continue to stay in the Chu family, won't you be annoyed in the end?" So after I went to see King Kang, Bai Qingqing left, and I won't continue to bother you. ”

Qingdi broke free from his embrace, turned his head to look at him and said, "Didn't you keep saying that you were going to usurp the throne?" You also told me that you are most optimistic about the Seventh Prince, and now you are going to see the Second Prince, what do you think of you after you let other people know? Although I don't understand the affairs of the government, I also know that you are so two-faced and make friends everywhere, and in the end, no one wants to really ally with you! ”

When Chu Yaocen heard this, she laughed, it turned out that she was so angry for herself. He stretched out his hand and pinched Qingdi's soft face, and said, "Silly girl, I won't joke about my great cause for a woman I don't love anymore, I'm willing to go to see King Kang, I must have made sufficient plans for these things." ”

Qingdi still didn't believe him, glanced at him, and said, "What are your plans?" ”

"Xiao Qi and I were arrested a while ago, doesn't it seem from that incident that King Kang has joined forces with Yin Yongmin? But I robbed Yin Yongmin's business in Nanzhong and married you, no matter the new and old grudges, I won't have any friendship with Yin Yongmin anymore, but I don't necessarily have to have such a situation with King Kang. Chu Yaocen stared into Qingdi's eyes and asked her, "I can't be alone when I haven't clearly shown what I'm going to do, do you understand?" ”

Qingdi thought for a while, understood what he meant, and asked, "Then you want to establish diplomatic relations with King Kang?" Then have you ever considered the Seventh Prince? ”

"Although I have always been very optimistic about Xiao Qi, when the old emperor dies, I must first see how Xiao Qi makes a move, but now that everything is inconclusive, I obviously show that I will not associate with King Kang, isn't that okay?" Chu Yaocen rubbed Qingdi's hair and said, "What's more, my father also has some friendship with King Kang, and it is reasonable for me to go to meet him, and I won't say anything if others know about it." After all, in the eyes of some people, I am just a fool who has just woken up. ”

Qingdi narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "But there are also many people who know that your mother is the princess of Wu Kingdom, and the current lord of Wu Country is your own uncle, and it is very possible that they want to take advantage of you." ”

"Then let them take advantage of it. If someone uses it, it means that I am useful. Chu Yaocen smiled faintly, looked at Qingdi and said: "You keep saying that you don't have the slightest awareness of the government, but you know a lot of things, and the analysis is reasonable, what a good seedling." ”

Qingdi rolled her eyes: "You think I want to know these things?" It's not all because you whisper in my ear every day, but after a long time, I naturally understand something. ”

"It's all for me, I'm so touched." Chu Yaocen hugged her again and said, "Don't worry, when I see King Kang tomorrow, he will send someone to pick Bai Qingqing away, and we can easily have a good year." ”

Qingdi didn't think that Bai Qingqing could have a good New Year when she left, she felt that more and more things were approaching her.

The next day, Chu Yaocen went to King Kang's Mansion early in the morning, coinciding with the New Year, to visit other people's homes, naturally he couldn't go empty-handed, Chu Yaocen also prepared some gifts.

King Kang was almost fifty years old, and when he was young, he fought everywhere and accumulated a lot of troops, and later the old emperor felt that he was a certain threat, so he summoned him back to the imperial city, and looked at him right under his nose. But he still has a certain amount of strength in his hands, and the old emperor can't move, which also makes him one of the biggest contenders for the throne. Now in addition to him, the most soldiers at hand are Qingdi's brother Feng Ling.

After Chu Yaocen was brought into the mansion, he thought that a person like King Kang, who had never had a relationship with him, would hang him for a while and put on a shelf, but he didn't expect that as soon as he came in, he would already see King Kang sitting down and waiting for him.

Chu Yaocen was surprised, and then turned over and said to King Kang: "His Royal Highness King Kang, the first time I met you, I was in Chu Yaocen." ”

King Kang didn't look smiling, nodded and pointed to the stool next to the table and said, "Second Young Master Chu doesn't need to be polite, please sit down quickly." ”

Chu Yaocen sat down in response, and before he could speak, King Kang took the initiative to say: "Second Young Master Chu, at the beginning of the new year, this king was planning to go to your Chu family to pay a New Year's greeting, but I didn't expect you to come first." ”

When Chu Yaocen heard him say this, he was a little flattered, and hurriedly said: "If His Royal Highness King Kang is here, if you want to pay New Year's greetings, it will be our Chu family who comes to you." ”

Seeing that he was polite, King Kang couldn't help but smile slightly, and said, "I have been good friends with your father for many years, and I am also very familiar with your eldest brother Chu Linyuan, but I haven't seen you before this, but I just heard that you used to be a fool, why are you getting better now?" ”

Chu Yaocen smiled slightly and said, "It's also a coincidence, I met a miracle doctor, and he cured me." ”

"Well," King Kang nodded: "It also means that you shouldn't be confused for the rest of your life." Are you interested in government affairs? ”

King Kang seemed to be a cheerful person, and he hadn't been too polite with Chu Yaocen before he asked such a thing. Chu Yaocen lowered his eyes slightly, thinking of what Qingdi said last night, many people knew that his uncle was the lord of Wu State, and wanted to use his identity to do something, presumably King Kang also knew.

However, King Kang, although he has soldiers in his hands, has many fatal shortcomings in his personality, such as his arrogance and his self-righteousness. Among the contenders for the throne, Chu Yaocen was the most optimistic about King Kang.

His face did not change, and he replied to King Kang: "I don't have much interest, my Chu family has been in business for generations, and I am more interested in business matters." ”

King Kang stroked his beard, as if he was thinking about the truth or falsehood of Chu Yaocen's words, and after a long time, he asked tentatively: "You have a good relationship with the seventh brother of this king." ”

It is well known that he has a good relationship with Yin Jixuan, and Chu Yaocen has no need to hide anything, so he nodded and said, "Yes, I have known the Seventh Prince since childhood, and I have a natural nature. Fun-loving and has had a good relationship for years. ”

"Oh? Are you only together because you love to play, not for planning something? King Kang stared at Chu Yaocen tightly and asked.

Chu Yaocen chuckled: "Prince Kang also knows that I was a fool before, and the Seventh Prince is not a fool, so why wouldn't he run away to plot something with a mentally deranged person, right?" ”

King Kang thought about it and felt that it was too. Then he asked him, "Then do you want to consider a career path?" It's much more promising than your business. Our Li country has always respected those who are officials, and if your family does business, if you don't come out with an official, no matter how rich you are, you will be looked down upon by some people. ”

Chu Yaocen still just chuckled: "But my father is still an imperial businessman, and the imperial businessman is also an official if he doesn't do anything." ”

King Kang squinted his eyes, and when he saw that Chu Yaocen was soft and hard, he didn't force him to do anything, and changed his words: "Okay, you are a child, and you still have time to think about it carefully." If you want to be an official one day, you come to me, and I guarantee that you will have a smooth career. ”

Chu Yaocen nodded and said, "Thank you, King Kang." ”

"You came to me today, is there anything else?" King Kang asked again.

"There's one more thing, indeed." Chu Yaocen raised his eyebrows, looked at King Kang and said, "I wonder if His Royal Highness King Kang remembers a woman in the Qinglou called Bai Qingqing?" ”

King Kang thought for a while and said, "It seems that this name is somewhat familiar, but I can't remember it." ”

Chu Yaocen didn't care if he remembered it or not, and continued: "This Qinglou woman said that she gave birth to a child for the prince, and now I hope that the prince can take this child back to the mansion." ”

King Kang felt very funny, and said, "You really just regained your senses, and you also believe the words of the Qinglou woman?" She said that the child is mine, it is mine? ”

"If the prince doesn't believe it, he can take the child back for an examination."

"Haha, forget it, even if it's really my child, he was born to a woman in the Qinglou, I won't want it." King Kang laughed, and asked Chu Yaocen with some curiosity: "By the way, why do you care about this kind of thing?" The king didn't have much friendship with you before, so you didn't come to tell me about it so that the king's children would not be displaced. ”

Chu Yaocen was very speechless about his previous words, and originally wanted to refute him, but when he saw him ask like this later, he replied to him: "It's because I have some friendship with that Qinglou woman and believe in her personality." Does the prince want to see her before making a decision? ”
