Chapter 213 – Guessing (4)

……

As the days passed by, nothing seemed to have happened in the calm city of Dingjing. As the end of the year approaches, people are busy shopping for new year’s goods, and even the poor families seem to be filled with a faint sense of joy.

Yet no matter how joyous a day is, there will be those who are not.

In the palace, King Li is walking in the garden with King Xiang.

In the faction of the King of Li, King Xiang and King Cheng are weak, and they bow down to the King of Li with a respectful attitude. Than the Prince’s stability, Zhou Wang Jing Wang brothers of the sharp, away from the King is to walk the middle way, his talent is not the most outstanding, the mother consort is not the most favored, but up and down the point of the extremely smooth, whether courtiers or brothers, but also willing to sell him a face, privately, is a no-brainer smiling tiger.

“Sixth Brother, these days, I heard that Father is very cold towards Uncle Wang.” King Xiang spoke up.

“You heard it too.” King Li smiled, and when he smiled, tiny wrinkles grew at the corners of his eyes, and he seemed to have a very easy-going personality. His attitude was also very easygoing as he climbed into a conversation with King Xiang: “Father has always valued Uncle Wang, these past few times Uncle Wang had something to ask for, and when he came into the palace a few times, Father surprisingly excused himself on the grounds that he was busy with business, anyone with a clear eye could see that Father was intentionally drying Uncle Wang out.”

Wen Hui Emperor Yu Prince can be said to do is benevolent to justice, when Wen Hui Emperor has a favorite consort offended Yu Prince, that favorite consort’s family is still quite powerful, Wen Hui Emperor without saying a word on the favorite consort into the Cold Palace. Also publicly warned the crowd: “Eleven is my foot, disrespect him, is disrespectful to me!” Precisely because Emperor Wenhui was almost always responsive to Prince Yu’s requests, this sudden change in attitude was noticed by everyone.

“But why is that?” King Xiang was puzzled, “Has Uncle Wang done something to anger Father Emperor? But for so many years, even if Uncle Wang has done something out of the ordinary, Father has never blamed him. I haven’t heard of anything happening to him these days.”

“Do you know what Uncle Wang came to the palace to ask Father for?”

King Xiang shook his head.

“Seventh brother ah,” Li Wang patted his shoulder, as if an elder brother was admonishing his unintelligent younger brother, “Everything in this palace still needs to be more attentive, you’re so honest, sixth brother I can’t worry about everything for you.”

King Xiang smiled blushingly, “I follow Sixth Brother, who is smarter than me, and whatever Sixth Brother says is right.”

“I heard that what Uncle Wang came to the palace to ask for was the matter of the Shen family.”

“The Shen family?” King Xiang suddenly realized, “Could it be that Uncle Wang is angry with Father because of the Shen family?” He thought for a moment and said, “But Uncle Wang is married to the first daughter of the second house of the Shen family, and Father …… would not be angry because of the second house of the Shen family, right?”

No one knew Emperor Wenhui better than his own son. If Prince Yu angered Emperor Wen Hui, unless it is what he asked for out of the ordinary, living in the royal family for so long, the emperor’s bottom line is nothing more than power. Shen’s second house Shen Gui a third-ranking minister, the hands of not much real power, but also does not affect the overall situation, Wen Hui Emperor can not be angry because of this and Prince Yu.

“That’s right.” King Li said meaningfully, “But what Uncle Wang is asking for is to marry the first daughter of the Shen family’s eldest house, Shen Miao.”

“So it is.” It was only then that King Xiang thought clearly, “That Shen Xin holds military power, and I’m afraid that Uncle Wang’s desire to marry the first daughter of the Shen family has violated Father’s great taboo. But how did Uncle Wang suddenly want to marry Shen Miao? Wasn’t Shen Qing the one he wanted to marry before? Even if Father Emperor lets him fool around, but this kind of sensitive matter, Uncle Wang would not be guilty of such confusion.”

“I also do not know.” The king of Li shook his head, “Although Uncle Wang has done things out of the ordinary over the years, he has honored his duties as a subject, and this time, it is outrageous ……”
