As expected, the moment Xiao Lin returned to the palace, King Sheng's order came. The eunuch who delivered the order blocked the door of his villa. Apparently, someone had made a complaint about his just entering the casino.
, and I can guess who the complainant is. King Sheng is not a wise king, and he easily listens to other people's slander.
In the imperial study room, looking at the condescending King Sheng who kept chattering about how he hated iron and steel, Xiao Lin couldn't help but feel agitated. To be honest, the only thing that made him unhappy in these years was the relationship with his cheap father.
King Sheng met.
Not only because I had to pretend to be groveling every time before, but more importantly, I also had to face the other party's condescending and insistent attitude, and the slightest resistance would be met with a slap in the face.
The original body of this body is said to be excellent, but in fact it is still a bit cowardly. He looks forward and backward, and has no courage to disobey his father. What's the use of being good? If Xiao Lin hadn't traveled through time, even if he became the emperor, he would probably not be able to do it.
If he is not a qualified emperor, which emperors from ancient times to the present are kind?
"You have read poetry and books since you were a child, and you have learned a lot. This fact makes me and your mother very happy. Not only did we invite the best Confucians to teach you how to be a king, but we also sent you to the Xiaoyao Sect so that you can protect yourself.
You have never let me down.
But now, look at what you have done in the past few years, contradicting your teacher, beating your brother, and now you are still following the example of those playboys, gathering people to gamble. Will you go to Fireworks Alley next time?
I thought that these few years of confinement would help you change your temper, but look at what you look like now, how can I trust you to hand over Shengguo to you~~~~~"
King Sheng scolded him without saving any face. If it were Xiao Lin in the past, he might have knelt down and admitted his mistake, but this time, Xiao Lin just stood like this, without saying a word and having nothing to regret.
I mean, I'm not a child, how could I be scared?
I have lived several lifetimes, been an emperor, an immortal emperor, and the head of a sect. I would be afraid that you, a mortal emperor, would have left Xiao Lin without looking back if he didn't care about his flesh and blood ties.
But what the other party said about Fireworks Alley, do you want to go there in person? Anyway, you are here, and you have a face full of peach blossoms, wouldn't it be a waste not to attract bees and butterflies?
After a while
"Xiao Lin, I ask you, do you know you are wrong?"
When King Sheng saw that his words had no results, Xiao Lin still looked like he was indifferent. He was so angry that he picked up the tea cup and threw it at him.
After Xiao Lin escaped without leaving a trace, he said calmly:
"I didn't want to say it at first, but now that it's all said and done, I'll say it straight away. I don't want to be the crown prince anymore. Father, you'd better find someone else. It's not suitable either. After a few years, I might become the crown prince.
I’m going back to the world of immortality.”
After thinking for a long time, Xiao Lin decided to tell the truth, so as not to make the other party upset him every day with matters in the court. He didn't have much time to practice, so how could he have the time to care about major world affairs.
"You~~~"
Prince Sheng pointed his finger at Xiao Lin and couldn't say a word for a long time. What do you mean he doesn't want to be the crown prince anymore? Did I tell you that I want to be the crown prince for you?
Xiao Lin still said unhurriedly:
"The immortal world is vast and has its own wonderful things. Although most of my brothers are just drunkards and ricebags, there is still no problem in being a conservative king. With me here, although I can't say that I can rule the prosperous country in the world, but I can't do it for a hundred years.
There is no problem in worrying, as long as the emperor’s surname is Xiao, what else does it matter?”
King Sheng also didn't expect that Xiao Lin would dare to disobey him so openly. He couldn't help but want to get angry again, but he didn't expect that at this moment,
Xiao Lin's aura suddenly changed, and a strong aura that transcended heaven and earth emanated from Xiao Lin's body, causing the other party's words to be choked in his throat for an instant.
Xiao Lin at this moment was like an immortal descended from the sky, transcendent, sacred and inviolable. Even King Sheng did not dare to look directly at him. For some reason, he only felt that Xiao Lin at this moment was so strange.
After doing all this, Xiao Lin did not wait for the other party to speak. After saying goodbye, his figure disappeared in an instant, leaving King Sheng with a complicated look.
King Sheng did not expect that in just a few years, his son would become such a stranger that he could disregard the imperial power.
The next day, King Sheng issued a decree, canonizing Xiao Lin as King of Xuancheng, and allowed him to leave the palace and open his own mansion. The opening ceremony was very simple, and no princes or ministers were invited.
Just when many dignitaries thought that this was preparation for the establishment of a crown prince, King Sheng's next move surprised everyone, because since then, he has not allowed Xiao Lin to participate in any court affairs, let alone any auxiliary supervisor.
After entering the country, he didn’t even have to attend the morning court. Instead, he asked the great scholars who had previously taught Xiao Lin to teach Xiao Che, the youngest ninth prince.
This behavior has really left many people scratching their heads. You may say that they are not favored, but Xiao Lin is the first among many princes to be granted the title of king and open a palace, and the newly granted palace is well-known.
Although he is favored, why is he not allowed to participate in state affairs? At least the prince should have the right to go to court, right? Moreover, Xiao Lin has not attracted any close confidants in the court in these years. The only one who has some relationship is with Zhu Guo
We have a good relationship with the general's daughter.
Everyone was confused, but this was perfect for Xiao Lin. The new palace not only had a beautiful scenery, but was also quiet. Without the trivial matters in the court, he could practice with peace of mind. As for what was said before
Returning to Xiaoyao Sect was not in a hurry.
No matter how rich Fu Zhaoshan's spiritual energy is, it is nothing to him who can redeem the cultivation resources of the world of cultivation. Moreover, he has promised King Sheng that even if he does not become the crown prince, he will protect the country of Sheng, so naturally he is not in a hurry.
go back.
The palace is very large, with hundreds of rooms in total, and several ancestral halls and rockeries. The dozen maids and eunuchs arranged in the palace are really busy. Xiao Lin is busy practicing and doesn't care much about these things.
Let the two maids Chunhua Qiuyue be busy.
They came to bother him, and Xiao Lin waved his hand and told them to handle it themselves. Unexpectedly, these two maids didn't know which tendon was wrong. Seeing that Xiao Lin didn't help, they actually ran to Ye Bingshang for help.
As for the person that the prince could trust, the eldest lady of the Ye family was the most suitable person. He didn't know that Ye Bingshang had given them the ecstasy soup, and several of his maids were very obedient to her words.
In response, Ye Bingshang not only did not refuse, but happily took up the responsibility of the housekeeper, running here every two days.
Looking at Ye Bingshang who was busy and enjoying himself like a housekeeper, Xiao Lin was not embarrassed to drive him away. After all, the palace is so big and not far from General Ye's mansion. Come if you like.
Fortunately for Ye Bingshang, she was a young girl who had not yet left the palace. Shengguo was relatively open-minded and others would not say much. But when Xiao Lin saw another woman in the palace, she became completely uneasy.
"Ye Xiwu, if I remember correctly, weren't you just newly married? Why are you here?"
