There are always some shameful places in the deep palace compound.

For example, the Taixiang Hall, which has always been controversial, was originally the alchemy room of Emperor Xizong. He kept many Taoist priests here to refine elixirs for him.

After Guan Ning entered the palace, he did not disperse these people but instead stayed to support them.

This has also become a doubt in the hearts of many courtiers. They are very worried that the new emperor will follow in the footsteps of the emperor.

The emperor's position is extremely respected and his power has reached its extreme. At this time, apart from pursuing immortality and enjoying the royal power forever, there is nothing else.

Isn’t that what Emperor Long Jing was like?

Eventually he harmed himself.

But they don't understand why His Majesty, who is not yet 30 years old and still has a lot of time to live, should listen to Huang Lao's theory and cultivate Taoism and refine elixirs like Emperor Longjing did?

Guan Ning said more than once that he was not refining elixirs but had other uses. Over the years, the courtiers had not seen any signs of Guan Ning taking elixirs. He tried his best to conceal it and passed away like this, and no one mentioned it again...

…

In fact, these warlocks have another role. They are still alchemists, but they are not refining elixirs, but gunpowder.

They are not responsible for mass production either, but specialize in research and testing.

These people must not make mistakes, Taixiang Palace has naturally become a forbidden area.

In addition, there is another place, which is the Qutai Hall located in the northwest corner of the palace. It is also an absolute restricted area in the palace, and few people even know about it!

Xiao Leshan was imprisoned here.

At that time, Guan Ning was also very confused about how to deal with her.

I had some friendship with this eldest princess earlier and had helped her, but I really wanted to kill her, but I still couldn't do it.

Yongning also begged for mercy, so he was imprisoned here.

I visited several times during this period.

"Kowtow to Your Majesty."

"Kowtow to the Queen."

Seeing Guan Ning's arrival, the guard at the door knelt down and saluted.

"His Majesty."

A middle-aged woman hurriedly came out.

This woman's name is Nanny Xin, and she is responsible for managing the affairs of Qutai Hall.

"What's wrong with Xiao Leshan?"

"Reporting to your majesty, the eldest princess used to be decadent all day long. She lost her temper, smashed things, killed maids and yelled randomly. Recently, she suddenly changed and started to dress up, put on heavy makeup, and said..."

She was still called the eldest princess, which was also allowed by Guan Ning. It was a harmless title.

At this moment, I hesitate to speak.

"say what?"

"I'm waiting for your majesty's... blessing."

"this……"

Guan Ning looked at Yong Ning.

"Do you know?"

Yongning nodded.

"You go in and take a look. I think the eldest princess seems to be mentally disturbed as you said before."

Guan Ning once told her this word and remembered it.

"I'll go in and take a look."

Guan Ning said no more and went directly into the palace.

Yongning stayed outside and did not follow.

Guan Ning was a little suspicious, as if Yong Ning was deliberately avoiding...

The palace is not as cold and quiet as the ordinary cold palace. On the contrary, it is very luxurious. Although it is a prison, Guan Ning does not treat her badly. She has arranged many maids to accompany her to relieve her depression, and there are also people to play mahjong with her...

…

This is what he tried his best to do. After all, she is the widow of Emperor Long Jing. Can she still be released?

All the maids in the palace fell to their knees.

Guan Ning walked straight to the innermost room, which was Xiao Leshan's residence.

What comes into view is a pink curtain, and through the tulle you can see a woman sitting beside the bed.

"The eldest princess?"

Guan Ning was a little unsure of the situation. He had never been like this before, so why did he feel like he was in a brothel?

"Your Majesty, you are here."

A soft voice sounded, and the pink curtain was lifted up. Xiao Leshan stood up and turned to Guan Ning.

"you……"

A flash of surprise flashed in Guan Ning's eyes, and at the same time he felt the urge to have a nosebleed.

Xiao Leshan was dressed very boldly at the moment. She only had a thin skirt, and she didn't know who gave her this kind of clothing.

I guess there is no one else but Yongning.

Guan Ning once gave Xiao Leshan a nickname, Ancient Kardashian.

This is not false.

Xiao Leshan's figure is extremely hot, even Xue Fang can't compare to it.

At this moment, she is wearing heavy makeup and her hair is tied up high, exuding ultimate temptation!

"Your Majesty, am I beautiful?"

Xiao Leshan came in style, exuding endless charm as her skirt swayed.

Even Guan Ning, who has experienced hundreds of battles, feels his throat is dry at this moment.

"what are you up to?"

Guan Ning asked calmly.

No wonder she is said to be abnormal, this is indeed too abnormal.

Guan Ning had been here before, either chasing him or scratching him, or cursing him non-stop. He didn't wash or dress up. How different is he now...

"Your Majesty, you can do whatever you want."

There was endless reverie in her tone, and she had already walked over at this moment.

Because he is shorter than Guan Ning, he has to look down when he wants to speak.

Boy, it's really choppy.

"I have been waiting for almost a month, and your Majesty is finally here."

Xiao Leshan stared at Guan Ning with her beautiful eyes.

"Concubine?"

"Don't you think so, Your Majesty?"

Xiao Leshan leaned close to Guan Ning's ear and whispered something.

Guan Ning asked subconsciously: "Is what I said before true?"

This eldest princess was once famous in Beijing and even throughout the country. She was stunningly beautiful and had an open personality. She showed up regardless of her status. She was the top socialite of the former Dakang Dynasty.

Also because she has the name of Kev.

The eldest princess married three people in succession. The first prince-in-law was the number one scholar at that time. He was well-equipped with both virtue and talent, and was unparalleled in handsomeness.

The number one scholar will not marry a princess.

It's not that they can't afford it, but they are unwilling. Marrying a princess means the end of their political career.

But it was different when Emperor Longjing issued an edict.

It's just a pity.

Not long after the marriage, the number one scholar who married a princess for the first time was accompanying Xiao Leshan on an outing when he accidentally fell off his horse and died.

The next year, Emperor Longjing found another consort for her. He came from a powerful family and was a general who fought on the battlefield. As a result, he died in a conflict with the barbarians.

Then, Emperor Long Jing found another one for him, but he died unexpectedly less than a year later...

Because he died so quickly, people even forgot his name.

At this point, the name of Kefu began to spread. At that time, it was spread in Beijing. They were not afraid of His Majesty's anger, but were afraid that His Majesty would grant him a marriage!
