Male supporting role is not a stepping stone

\u003cul class=tent_ul\u003e

When Yang Yan walked into the palace with vigorous steps, a group of men who had been waiting for a long time immediately stopped talking and stood up together to salute: "I would like to send my regards to Yuanjun. May Yuanjun have a golden body and a golden body."

Looking at the men here, all the men are dwarfs around 1.6 meters tall. Yang Yan stands out among the crowd, but this does not arouse the envy of everyone at all. Instead, you can see the hidden mockery on their faces.

This is a world where women are respected, and men regard petite and slender bodies as their beauty. A tall man like the original owner, with a strong waist, long legs, and a masculine appearance is said to be ugly and unmanly, which is very It’s hard to find my husband’s family.

But his background was very good. As the only son of Generalissimo Cen Geng, who was in charge of the country's military power, he was personally asked to marry by the Ninth Emperor's daughter. Later, the Ninth Emperor's daughter ascended the throne and became the emperor. He followed the rising tide and became the Yuanjun, making many noble sons. Both jealous and envious.

But in fact, Cen Yangyan's life was not as glorious as outsiders imagined. There were many beauties in the emperor's harem, and they were very dissatisfied with him, an ugly man who relied on his family background to ascend to the throne of Yuanjun. All of them were always giving him favors overtly or covertly. Get off the hook.

The original owner had no confidence because of his low self-esteem. He was obviously the Yuanjun who was inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, but he allowed his ministers to run wild. Even the right to take charge of palace affairs was taken away by the emperor. It makes people sympathize with his plight. He was very angry and could not argue.

"Everyone, get up!" Yang Yan responded lightly, leaning on the large phoenix seat, one hand bent to support his head, his index finger slightly curled and pressed on his temple, and his long legs casually resting on his temple. Sitting on the chair, he looked lazy and relaxed.

If in another world a little girl saw him like this, she would probably cover her red face and scream in her heart. However, when a group of men present saw it, the mocking in their eyes was even deeper——

Their Yuanjun is becoming more and more unattractive. Although he is a bit uglier, he could at least look dignified and virtuous before. Now he doesn't care about his image at all. Could it be that he has given up on himself?

While everyone was thinking, a man with a slender figure and delicate features stood up, bowed respectfully, and said softly: "Your Highness Yuanjun, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not."

Yang Yan glanced at him casually and said, "Since Xianqing doesn't know whether he should say anything, then he should keep his mouth shut!"

The extremely rude words made Xianqing speechless for a moment. There were several low chuckles around him, and a pink color suddenly appeared on his face.

"I know that people speak softly, but I still want to admonish Your Highness." He bit his lip, as if he didn't hear it, and persisted in speaking out what was in his heart, "A man should behave like a man, and His Highness's sitting posture is unavoidable. It’s too indecent. His Majesty will probably be unhappy if he finds out about it.”

Oh! He was smart, knowing that the original owner cared most about the emperor's opinion, so he used it to suppress him.

"It seems that your Majesty knows your Majesty very well!" Yang Yan chuckled and said, "No wonder there are many beauties in this harem, but Your Majesty likes you the most."

All the ministers looked like they were watching a good show. After hearing this, the smiles on their faces couldn't help but suffocate. They looked at the only man standing with a slightly suspicious look in their eyes.

How could Cen Yangyan suddenly say such words? Did he discover something? Xianqing noticed that they were looking at him a little unkindly, and he suddenly became panicked and his face turned slightly pale.

"What did His Highness Yuan Jun say?" He forced himself to calm down and said, "I know that I have a despicable appearance and ordinary talents, so I don't deserve His Majesty's love. Please stop making fun of me."

"Why should you be so humble, a wise minister?" Yang Yan looked at him with a half-smile, and said, "You are just the son of a sixth-rank official, but after entering the palace, you have been promoted to the rank of fourth minister. Every month, your majesty will I've been to your palace a few times, what if I don't like it?"

The eyes of the ministers looking at him became more and more unkind, and Xianqing's mind suddenly went blank. The emperor was indeed sincere to him.

However, in order to protect him and prevent him from being jealous and hurt, His Majesty has always treated him indifferently outside. Even when he was promoted, he was cautious and careful. Every time he was promoted, he followed the trend. .

Just to make him suffer bullying in the palace, those ministers with higher status than him would always make mistakes and make room for him in a timely manner, making his promotion seem natural and not attracting attention.

As for the number of visits to his place every month, some of them were for him to sleep with him as usual, and sometimes it was because the emperor missed him and deliberately caused trouble for the minister who had been betrayed, and then he went to his place instead.

Your Majesty has done all these things very covertly, and it is not easy to notice when you are in it. Some people have lamented his good luck before, but when Yuan Jun said it now, it was completely different.

The people in the palace are not fools. If they peel back the blinding leaves, they can know the strangeness with a little thought. But at this time, no matter what he says, he can't dispel their doubts.

Unless they personally investigate and find out that the facts are not what Yuan Jun said, they can only believe it. But Xianqing knows very well in his heart that what Yuan Jun said is true, and he simply cannot withstand the investigation. .

"I'm just lucky." Xianqing felt bitter in his heart and reluctantly explained. He really regretted what he had just done and wanted to come out and accuse him. He didn't understand why Yuan Jun, who had always been a fool, suddenly became smart?

The atmosphere in the palace was a little tense for a moment. Fortunately, a palace servant came from outside and announced loudly: "Your Majesty has arrived——"

Xianqing took advantage of everyone's distraction and quickly sat back. He lowered his head and tried to weaken his sense of presence, hoping that everyone would forget what just happened.

However, he himself also understands that this idea is really delusional. After today, he still doesn’t know how dire straits he will be in. How long will it take for the opportunity mentioned by His Majesty to wait?

I really hope that the emperor will take back his military power immediately, so that he doesn't have to continue to be a lowly person and can stand by her side openly and enjoy her love.

Xianqing felt like sitting on pins and needles with all kinds of thoughts spinning in her mind.

At this time, everyone in the hall focused their attention on the man who had just appeared at the door. He was wearing a flamboyant red dress. For ordinary people, wearing such a bright red color would probably look tacky, but his gorgeous appearance made the color red only. It's his foil.

The man is tall, of course not as tall as Yang Yan, who is over 1.8 meters tall, but he is half a head taller than the other ministers, and his frame is slender, only showing his slenderness and not making people feel thick.

This person is Huang Guiqing, the most favored man in the palace by the emperor. His brows are full of pride. Even to Yuanjun, who is one level above him, he only bows his hands in a perfunctory way, with a slight chin. Lifting the ground, he vividly interpreted the words "relying on favor to be proud".

The ministers saluted respectfully, their attitude was many times more serious than when they saluted Yuanjun before, fearing that he would catch him in the wrong if they were slighted. This man was not as easy to talk to as Yuanjun.

Before Yang Yan could call out, Huang Guiqing had already walked to his seat and sat down. After waving his hand to all the ministers to get up, he apologized without sincerity: "I'm sorry, Mr. Yuan, my servants are late. It’s all because the emperor pestered me for too long last night and accidentally overslept this morning.”

The waiter behind him had no expression on his face when he heard this, but he rolled his eyes fiercely in his heart. What does Huang Guiqing mean? If you insist on acting like this and saying such words in front of His Highness, isn't this a stab into His Highness's heart?

Poor His Highness, who has a deep affection for the Emperor, doesn't know how sad he is now. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at his master worriedly.

Contrary to what he guessed, Yang Yan's heart did not fluctuate, and she even wanted to laugh. Huang Guiqing thought that the emperor doted on him and pampered him, so he believed that she was truly in love with him. Unfortunately, he didn't know that he He is just a tool man.

Their emperor only had Xianqing in his heart. The reason why he doted on Huangguiqing in a high-profile manner was just to set up a rake as a shield for him. The original owner's ending was bleak, and this one's end was also miserable.

However, Cen Yangyan knew that the emperor could not admire him, so he never had any expectations. The reason for his resentment was because his relatives were slaughtered and he hated the emperor for his betrayal.

But Huang Guiqing always claimed to be a true love, and when the truth was revealed, she was almost driven crazy. If you want to say that the resentment of this person is not much less than that of the original owner.

Yes, in that case, why was he summoned by the original owner instead of Huang Guiqing? It couldn't be because the original owner had the same name as him, right?

Yang Yan was thoughtful and decided to ask System Xiaoyi after he got to the space.

"Why is Your Highness Yuanjun ignoring your servants?" Huang Guiqing saw that he was in a daze and said nothing. He raised the corners of his lips proudly, covered his mouth coyly, and said in surprise, "Ah! Yuanjun can't do it?" Is it because Your Majesty went to the palace of your ministers again, are you unhappy?"

"The servant also advised the emperor not to stick to the servant all the time, but also to accompany you in Yuanjun's palace, but he refused to listen." He pouted and said with some distress, "It's all the fault of the servant. , I shouldn’t be so beautiful that Your Majesty will never forget her.”

Are you complaining? You are simply showing off!

The eyes of all the ministers almost rolled to the sky, and they all felt sour in their hearts, but they had to put on smiles on their faces and carefully fawned over him.

How can someone say that someone else is the son of the prime minister and is so favored by the emperor!

However, Yuan Jun is the son of the Grand Marshal. Although he is a bit ugly, he is not favored very much, but his status is such that even the emperor is courteous to the Cen family. Huang Guiqing is so arrogant, are you really not afraid?

There was a trace of excitement in the eyes of all the ministers, and they were really looking forward to the two of them fighting on the spot. But to their disappointment, they were all attacked in this way, but Yuan Jun's face was still light, without any emotion. Not the slightest bit angry.

"Well, I was settling accounts just now, and I got a little distracted." Yang Yan said lazily, still looking lazy.

"Settling accounts?" Huang Guiqing laughed and said aggressively, "Now the affairs in the palace are taken care of by the ministers, what kind of accounts does Yuanjun want to settle? Even if he is taking care of palace affairs, there is no need for us to settle accounts personally, right? Yuan Jun If you don't know your priorities like this, no wonder the emperor would give the phoenix seal to his servants!"

"It's not those mundane things." Yang Yan glanced at Xianqing lightly. His heart tightened, and he suddenly had a bad premonition. Sure enough, the next moment he heard the person on the phoenix throne continue to say, "It's about the emperor's bed. ”

Huang Guiqing had a bright smile on his face and was about to mock him again, but what he said next made his smile completely freeze on his face.

"You said that the emperor is very attached to you, but I just calculated that the emperor only goes to your palace seven or eight times a month. However, Xianqing said before that he was not favored by the emperor, and the emperor was in his palace seven or eight days a month. side."

"So after all, are you not that favored at all, or is Xianqing actually very favored?" Yang Yan rubbed his forehead as if he had a headache (actually it was really painful), "Oh, I can't even handle the palace affairs. I understand, I still don’t understand this kind of thing, how about you tell me the answer, Your Majesty Huang?”

Huang Guiqing's face instantly became extremely ugly, but Yang Yan still looked like he was humbly asking for advice. He was so angry that he wanted to tear his face to pieces, but what he wanted to tear now was another face.

He glanced at the crowd with murderous eyes. Xianqing's face was not much frightened compared to his, but compared to his anger, Xianqing's face showed more fear.

"Xian, sir." Huang Guiqing called out word by word.

He had never looked at this person carefully before. It should be said that he had never paid attention to any of the ministers in the palace, including Yuanjun, who was in charge of the palace.

He was conceited about his beauty and believed that no one in the palace was his match. Cen Yangyan was just lucky enough to be born into the Cen family, so she was temporarily bigger than him.

However, his mother had already analyzed it with him. Now that Generalissimo Cen Geng holds the military power, the emperor has to be a little more cautious. When he removes the military power of the Cen family, Cen Yangyan's good days will come to an end. The position of king will definitely fall on his head.

But this Xianqing, who looks ordinary (in his opinion) and comes from a humble family, has slept with him almost as many times!

Huang Guiqing is in charge of palace affairs, so he is naturally very clear about these things. However, most of the emperor's visits to Xian Qing were accidents before, and he did not show any special liking afterward. The usual rewards were all allocated by him according to routine. , the emperor never specifically explained it, so he didn't notice such a person.

His impression of Xianqing has always been that of being cautious and doing his duty, but now it seems that he really looks down on him!

Huang Guiqing certainly didn't think that the emperor would fall in love with Xianqing as Yuan Jun said. After all, in his opinion, he was not outstanding in all aspects and had nothing to like, especially when he, the jewel, was the first. .

So what he was thinking was that Xian Qing was so clever that he actually used tricks to rob the emperor under his nose. It was simply unbearable!

"As a minister, you wear white clothes all day long. Do you want to curse me or the emperor?" Huang Guiqing looked at the pale man coldly and asked through gritted teeth.

"I don't dare. I have liked the color white since I was a child. I'm just used to it." Xianqing knew that he was looking for trouble, but he had no choice but to kneel down and reply.

"Now that you have entered the palace, you will be the emperor's man from now on. You should put the emperor first. These petty and messy habits should be changed." Huang Guiqing emphasized the words "petty", alluding to his origin.

Xianqing really cared about this. If he hadn't come from a humble background, the emperor could have liked him openly and openly. Why would there be any need to appoint an ugly man as the emperor, and also use a high-profile doting on an arrogant and domineering Huangguiqing as a shield for him?

What do you know? The emperor just likes me wearing white clothes!

He wanted to express what was in his heart, but in order not to ruin the emperor's plan, he could only respond with tears in his eyes: "Yes."

Seeing his appearance, Huang Guiqing felt a little better, but of course he would not let the swordsman go so easily. He said coldly: "Since you know you are wrong, go kneel outside for a day and wake up properly." Awake."

The weather now is late autumn. Although it is better than the ice and snow, the man's body is delicate. If he really kneels for a day, the cold air will enter his body, and he will have to suffer a serious illness.

Xianqing was unwilling in his heart, but when he looked up at the emperor's angry eyes, he couldn't say anything. He could only walk out of the palace obediently. Of course, his obedience was only on the surface. The waiter winked and signaled him to go find the emperor quickly to save him.

The waiter understood the look in his eyes and was about to sneak out quietly to find the emperor, but after taking two steps back, he was blocked by two tall palace servants.

"This little servant doesn't know the rules as well as the master, and he dares to run rampant in Yuanjun's palace. I will help you discipline your younger brother today." Huang Guiqing walked out surrounded by the servants, and scanned his face. The two people looked at each other in panic and said, "Whoever comes here will be beaten to death by me."

The waiter's face turned pale with fright, and he knelt on the ground with a plop: "Please show mercy to your Majesty, I will never dare to do this again."

"No!" Xianqing hurriedly stopped in front of him, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, has a lot of people. Please spare him this time! I will teach him a lesson when I get back."

"Xianqing is really a kind-hearted person!" Huang Guiqing said with a half-smile, "Well, I am not that cruel person, so let's change it to a hundred punishments!"

What is the difference between being punished with a hundred sticks and being beaten to death with a stick? Even a strong palace servant might not be able to withstand a hundred sticks, let alone a delicate servant?

Everyone felt terrified when they saw his smiling face, and they were once again sure that they must not offend Huang Guiqing if they offended anyone in this palace.

Xianqing and his personal attendant were in despair, but no matter how hard they begged, they could not move Huang Guiqing's hard-hearted heart. Even seeing them kowtow humbly, the smiles on their faces became even brighter.

Probably knowing that it would be useless to beg him again, Xianqing suddenly shouted into the palace: "Your Highness Yuanjun, Your Majesty, you are so disrespectful of human life, don't you care?"

Oh! I didn't remember him as Yuan Jun when I stood up to criticize him before, but now that I need to ask for help, I do remember him.

Yang Yan sneered twice and sent someone to pass on the message: "The emperor has handed the Phoenix Seal to the Imperial Noble, so the Imperial Noble should be in charge of the palace affairs."

He was not afraid that such avoidance would damage his prestige as a Yuan Jun. Anyway, the original owner couldn't even keep the Phoenix Seal, and she had no prestige in the palace. As long as he was tough and her mother was in charge of the military power, no one could do anything to him.

The reason why the original owner had a hard time in the palace and everyone dared to act wild in front of him was just because he was too inferior and loved the emperor's big scumbag daughter. He was always considerate of her and let others manipulate him.

In the end, Xian Qing still didn't ask the Imperial Noble for mercy. He watched his personal servant being beaten to death. Even after he had clearly died, the executioner didn't stop and beat him with a full hundred sticks. When the end came, the servant had been beaten into a bloody mess.

Xian Qing rolled his eyes and fainted, but the palace servant who followed Huang Guiqing's order to stay behind mercilessly poured a basin of cold water on his face. After waking him up, he was forced to kneel on the ground covered with blood.

Yang Yan had left the front hall and returned to the backyard when the farce began. He happily practiced a set of gun skills with the faint crying outside. After a short rest, he took a nice bath.

Speaking of which, the original owner's mother really didn't know how to take care of children. In this world where women are respected and men are just appendages, she actually brought her son to the border. She didn't teach him the mainstream ways of men's red and housekeeping at all, but let him practice martial arts.

But it was fortunate that it was like this, otherwise Yang Yan would not know how to deal with himself if he was possessed by a delicate man like Xian Qing.

It's not that he looks down on the men in this world. Different social forms create different characters. Just like in a world where men are superior to women, it is never their own problem that women are oppressed and controlled.

"Why is your Highness interested in practicing martial arts today?" After taking a bath, the servant wiped his wet hair for him, looked at his face, and asked carefully.

If it weren't for the fact that the birthmark on his body hadn't changed, he would have really thought that he had changed overnight. Since marrying the Ninth Princess seven years ago, his Highness has never practiced martial arts again, fearing that it would displease the Ninth Princess.

Unfortunately, his Highness couldn't understand that when a woman's heart is not with you, no matter what sacrifices you make, it is useless. The emperor will never like him just because he doesn't practice martial arts and puts down his swords and guns to learn male red.

"Well, I figured out some things." Yang Yan said casually.

He couldn't act completely according to the original owner's personality. Besides, he must have some changes to change the ending in the book. As a close person who served the original owner for more than ten years, He Liu would definitely notice it. He couldn't hide it even if he wanted to. It's better to reveal something and let him think about it himself.

Anyway, he has all the memories of the original owner. Unless he reveals it himself, no one can guess that the core of this body is actually a different person. At most, they can think that he has experienced something and his temperament has changed.

Sure enough, when he said this, He Liu thought that he had figured it out and was no longer obsessed with the emperor's feelings. He was only happy in his heart.

Since he became the Yuanjun, there are more and more beauties in the palace, and His Highness has become more and more silent. The cheerful and confident His Highness before can no longer be seen. Now it’s great that His Highness can figure it out.

"It’s good that His Highness can see it open-mindedly. Don’t forget that you still have the princess, and the good days are behind!" He Liu said happily.

Princess?

Yang Yan sneered in his heart. It was because of this princess that the mother and son of the Cen family were so open-hearted to the emperor.

Cen Geng fought everywhere and defended the country for the emperor. When the world was at peace, he returned the military power without any preparation. As a result, he was lured to the palace and killed. After his death, he was charged with the crime of treason, which implicated hundreds of lives of his mother's family.

Cen Yangyan took good care of the little princess and protected her as if she were his own eye. When his mother was killed and his family was ruined, he still wanted to find a way out for her.

As a result, this daughter betrayed him, ruined the last bit of power of the Cen family, and implicated those subordinates who were loyal to her mother.

At that time, the original owner knew that the daughter he had loved for so many years was not his own, but was born by the emperor for her true love Xianqing.

Because the emperor was afraid that Xianqing was born too low and would not be able to protect the child, he handed it to him and lied that it was born for him, so that he could use the power of the Cen family to protect her and paralyze Cen Geng at the same time.

Her calculation was undoubtedly successful, because the princess looked like the emperor for 70% to 80%, and although the remaining few points were similar to Xianqing, most people would not think in that direction. The original owner never doubted it, and was even very grateful to the emperor for this, because although she did not love him, she gave him a child.

But the original owner never expected that the daughter he desperately protected had already secretly recognized Xianqing, and did not appreciate his kindness at all, but only regarded him as a stumbling block that prevented her father and mother from being together.

Since it was a stumbling block, of course it had to be removed, so she betrayed her father who had been called for many years without any psychological burden, and even added insult to injury after he was banished to the cold palace.

The original owner died with deep resentment towards these three people, and hated them so much that she would take revenge even if her soul was torn apart.

What he thought of was really what he thought of. When Yang Yan was thinking about what the fake daughter had done, she had already run to his bedroom.

"Father, Xianqing is being bullied outside, why don't you do anything?" The Crown Princess asked anxiously as soon as she entered the door, not bothering to greet him. If you look closely, you can notice a hint of dissatisfaction on her face, which is naturally directed at Yuanjun.

She just turned six this year, and she is born with a lovely appearance. It can be seen that she will definitely be a beauty in the future, but who would have thought that she would be so cruel. In a few years, she would have raised a dog, but the original owner only raised a white-eyed wolf that bites back.

"You care about Xianqing." Yang Yan said unintentionally.

No matter how mature the princess was, she was still a child of a few years old. A trace of unnaturalness suddenly appeared on her face, but she was still calm: "Xianqing made a purse for me and sent me food. Didn't my father teach me to be grateful? So can you help him?"

"A little thing is a favor?" Yang Yan smiled meaningfully and said, "Then my father gave you fine clothes and delicious food, invited famous teachers for you, and asked about your well-being every day. Isn't it a great favor?"

"Aren't those given to you by my mother?" The princess replied subconsciously, and then seemed to find something wrong. She threw herself on his knees and said in a sweet voice, "My father loves me, I am very grateful, and I will definitely honor you in the future."

But I can't afford your filial piety!

After a simple test, Yang Yan already understood that the little girl in front of him had long stopped considering him as her father, but the original owner was blinded by one leaf, so he never noticed it.

"Okay, get up!" He gently lifted her legs. The original owner was strong, and the princess was not prepared, so she staggered and fell to the ground.

"Princess!" He Liu saw this and quickly helped her up, saying with a little reproach, "Your Highness, why are you so careless? What if the princess gets hurt?"

She deserved it if she got hurt!

Yang Yan replied coldly in his heart. Although the person in front of him was just a little girl, he couldn't feel soft-hearted towards her as long as he thought of what she had done.

You have to know that the emperor took action against the Cen family a year later. At that time, the princess was only seven years old. Moreover, after the brief conversation just now, he could already see that she had no gratitude towards this adoptive father in her heart.

The princess looked at her father with some grievance. Seeing that he didn't come to comfort her as usual, she was very unhappy. However, thinking of her father who was still suffering outside, she didn't feel like entangled in these things anymore, and hurriedly said: "Father, please help Xianqing!"

"I can't do anything about it," Yang Yan spread his hands and pushed the matter away. "It was the imperial noble who ordered the punishment. Now he is in charge of palace affairs and has the right to punish the servants who made mistakes."

"But Xianqing didn't make any mistakes at all!" The princess said dissatisfiedly, "It was just wearing a white dress, and the imperial noble punished Xianqing to kneel for a whole day. He did it on purpose!"

"And he also executed the little servant beside Xianqing and made Xianqing kneel in the blood. It was too cruel. Although you, father, are not in charge of palace affairs, you are the lord of the central palace. As long as you give an order, can he not listen?"

"You are right. If I give an order, the imperial noble will not offend me." Yang Yan curled his lips The corner of his eyes was not smiling, "But why should I confront him for a little virtuous minister?"

"Ah? This--" The princess was stunned, "I beg you..."

Yang Yan stood up, looked down at her, and said coldly: "Why do you beg me, I must agree? Do you think I should be responsive to your requests?"

The princess was just a little girl after all. Her father's attitude towards her suddenly changed. She was a little at a loss for a moment, and said hesitantly: "But aren't you my father?"

"If you are not my daughter," Yang Yan deliberately paused here, the little girl's face instantly became extremely frightened, but the man's words made her feel a little relieved, "Then you don't even have the opportunity to stand in front of me and ask these questions today."

"Father..." The princess called out a little at a loss, not understanding why the man who had always responded to her requests before suddenly became so strange.

"Get out!" Yang Yan's face was full of indifference. "If you bother me about Xianqing again, you will kneel down with him."

The princess never thought that he would say such cruel words. She couldn't believe her ears for a moment. The little girl couldn't completely control her emotions, so she inevitably had some resentment on her face.

He Liu couldn't help but frowned when he saw her. His Highness was indeed a little ruthless, but the princess showed this look just because His Highness rejected her request. Is this still the little princess he is familiar with?

What happened today? First, His Highness suddenly changed his personality, and then he was so indifferent to the princess who loved him so much, and the little princess also had resentment towards His Highness.

What happened? I always feel that everything is not good.

He Liu had a thousand questions in his mind, but in order to prevent the father and daughter from getting even worse, he could only take the Crown Princess outside and advised: "Young Prince, the palace is complicated, and one move can affect the whole body."

"Since His Highness is unwilling to help Xianqing, he must have his own considerations. You must not get angry with His Highness for outsiders and hurt the harmony between father and daughter in vain."

The princess was a little worried about her father, who was suddenly a stranger to her. When she heard what he said, she walked down the steps: "I know, and Uncle Liu, please take good care of your father. I will come to visit you another day. Today Then go back to the palace first.”

He Liu naturally did not respond: "Your Highness, don't worry, He Liu Gong will send His Highness the Queen."

After watching the little figure of the Crown Princess go away, he turned back to the palace, only to see that His Highness showed no worry at all, and instead read a book leisurely.

"Your Highness," He Liu stepped forward and said, "The Crown Princess has returned to the palace."

"Well, I got it." Yang Yan responded lightly, not caring at all.

The princess grew up with the original owner until she was three years old, and then the emperor moved her out on the pretext that the princess should live in the East Palace. At that time, the original owner thought that the emperor intended to cultivate the princess and establish her prestige from an early age.

Later, when the truth came out, I realized that maybe the real reason was that the emperor didn't want his daughter to get along too much with him, so as not to develop strong feelings, and it also made it easier for Xianqing to get in touch with her and develop feelings for her.

Oh! This emperor is really calculating!

Yang Yan unconsciously showed a contemptuous smile. As an emperor, he did not think about enriching the country and strengthening the people, but only thought about scheming his own ministers. This was really too petty.

If you are afraid that your ministers will support themselves with troops, even if you want to use conspiracy and calculation, you should not use people in the harem to use such despicable methods, which will make people feel dirty and not have the slightest respect or fear.

"Yuanjun," He Liu looked at his expression and said cautiously, "I have something I want to say. I don't know whether to say it or not."

"If you have something to say, just say it," Yang Yan glanced at him and said angrily, "After following me for so many years, am I still going to blame you for saying a few words?"

"I know that His Highness treats me the best," He Liu quickly flattered him, and then said seriously, "The Crown Princess is still young after all, so she doesn't understand His Highness's painstaking efforts. Your Highness should not be too harsh on the Crown Princess. , so as not to hurt the relationship between father and daughter."

"Father-daughter love?" Yang Yan shook his head, "You saw me just now, but one thing didn't go as she wanted, and she became resentful of me. Does she have any father-daughter love for me?"

"This..." Heliu said hesitantly, "The Crown Princess is still young, and she sometimes gets distracted. After all, you are father and daughter connected..."

"He Liu," Yang Yan interrupted, "do you know what a woman and a man have to do to have a child?"

Heliu's face instantly turned red, and he lowered his head shyly: "Why does Your Highness come to ask this servant? I have never been married, how can I know these things? Isn't it clear to Your Highness how to give birth to a child? After all, the Crown Princess is already so old. ”

"I once thought I knew it very well," Yang Yan showed a wry smile, "Then do you think a man can get pregnant and give birth to a child if he holds hands with a woman?"

"It shouldn't be possible, right?" He Liu's face turned redder and he said hesitantly, "My slave, I also accidentally touched a palace servant's hand. After shaking it for a short while, I didn't see her... What is that..."

"Is there such a thing?" Yang Yan glanced at him in surprise, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? If you are right, I can make a decree for you to become wives."

"Don't!" He Liu said quickly, "It's really just an accident, I bumped into her accidentally. This slave is not happy with her."

Yang Yan couldn't understand for a moment that he was really just shy because of being in contact with a strange woman. He still liked her but was embarrassed to say it and didn't force him: "Okay, if you find someone you like one day, remember to tell me, you He’s not too young either.”

In this world, men usually get married when they are sixteen, and He Liu is already twenty this year. If he had not accompanied him to the palace, he might have had children. The original owner has been worried about his life events, but it is a pity that in the previous life, both the master and the servant died. Fate, his worries have not been resolved.

"The slave will." Seeing that he did not ask further questions, Heliu breathed a sigh of relief. The heat on his face slowly dissipated, and his mind became clear. He immediately realized why his master asked such a question.

Thinking of that possibility, his face began to turn pale and he lost his voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Could it be said that you and the Emperor have only held hands?"

"Yes, when I'm sober," Yang Yan lowered his eyes. Although there was no expression on his face, it made people feel very sad inexplicably. "Only one time I passed out drunk, and the next day I heard Xiao Yu (Emperor) Just say that after having my child, the princess was born ten days later.”

"Your Highness is suspicious, suspicious..." He Liu was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Yang Yan turned his head and said a little absentmindedly: "If I hadn't accidentally overheard two palace servants talking about things in the house yesterday, I wouldn't have thought much about it."

That's why it was said that Cen Geng didn't know how to take care of children. The original owner was eighteen years old and still didn't understand the relationship between men and women. His father died young and no one taught him before he got married. He had been married to Le Xiaoyu for eight years in his last life. I thought that the intimate relationship between wives and lovers is lying on the same bed and holding hands...

He was so stupid that he had his forehead rubbed. It was no wonder that he was deceived. He helped raise children for so many years in vain, and in the end his family was ruined.

"This, this..." He Liu's expression could no longer be described with just the word "horror", "Why does the emperor do this? Then whose child is the princess?"

"Why the emperor would do such a thing, I don't know yet," Yang Yan hid some of the inside information, "As for whose child she is, you will know by looking at who she is close to."

"Could it be that you are a wise minister?" He Liu said in disbelief.
