After washing up, Qi Huan changed into clothes. King Xin mostly liked clothes with calm colors. He seemed to love cyan. The wardrobe was full of deep and light cyans. Qi Huan picked one at random and put it on.

, when he stepped out of the inner room, Yuan Wu who was standing outside was stunned when he saw Qi Wan's appearance.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing today..."

As soon as the words came out, Yuanwu seemed to know that he had overstepped his bounds. He hurriedly stopped, fell to the ground, and kept begging Qi Wang for his sins.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I didn't mean to do this."

Neither King Xin nor Qi Wang was the kind of person who liked to argue. He waved his hand towards Yuanwu and signaled him to get up.

"It doesn't matter, just get up."

As he said this, Qi Wang had already lifted up his clothes and sat down on the cushioned stool. Yuanwu climbed up from the ground tremblingly. He stood aside with his head lowered, looking more and more reserved.

Qi Wang glanced at Yuan Wu who was standing there solemnly, and there was a hint of helplessness in his voice: "Yuan Wu, you have been with me for so many years, and I have never treated you harshly. You are like this. How do you feel?

Is this king acting too harshly?"

"I dare not, my lord, please forgive me!"

Yuan Wu was so frightened that his voice changed. He lifted up the hem of his clothes and wanted to kneel down again. However, when he saw Qi Wan's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Yuan Wu shuddered and bent his knees.

I couldn't help but stand up straight again.

"My lord, you are the best master and the most forgiving to your servants. It is all my fault that I am a slave. Please forgive me, my lord."

Yuan Wu's voice was trembling when he spoke. Although he tried his best to pretend to be normal, his trembling body revealed his emotions at this time.

Qi Wang withdrew his gaze and stopped staring at Yuan Wu.

In King Xin's memory, he had never treated his subordinate harshly, but Yuanwu was a little timid. Seeing that he was loyal to King Xin, he could not control his fear, and he often reacted

Too much, and he would kneel down and beg for mercy from time to time. King Xin had mentioned this problem many times, but he couldn't change it, as if his timid nature couldn't be changed.

However, such a timid subordinate, when King Xin was taken to Caishikou Lingchi to be executed, he took a sword and tried to break through the layers of people and go to the execution platform to save King Xin.

Yuanwu's force was really poor. After he rushed forward, he was directly hacked to death by the guards. Such a timid man was chopped into pulp in front of King Xin, and his head grumbled.

He rolled to King Xin's feet, opened his eyes and looked straight at King Xin, his eyes dimming little by little under King Xin's gaze.

Thinking of the scenes in King Xin's memory, Qi Wang sighed secretly, and his tone became softer than before.

"Our master has been a servant for many years. You don't have to be like this. Tell me, what did you want to say just now?"

Qi Wan's voice had a strange rhythm. Listening to Qi Wan's gentle voice, Yuanwu slowly became less nervous. He sniffed and spoke in a dull voice.

"Your Majesty, this servant is happy for you. You must be in a good mood today. Otherwise, why would you wear this crimson dress?"

In fact, in Yuan Wu's opinion, the most suitable color for their prince is crimson, but he doesn't know when the prince's clothes changed to all blue. Although cyan clothes can also bring out the prince's grace,

But Yuan Wu always felt that the color lacked some vitality, and after wearing it, the prince looked more and more lifeless.

You must know that when the prince was young, the colors of his clothes were very vivid. Just looking at the prince, you can feel the surging vitality in the prince. However, although the prince changed into cyan clothes, he gave people a strong sense of security.

, but Yuan Wu always felt that such a prince was suppressing himself, and the blue clothes were like a cage, trapping their living prince.

Yuan Wu only dared to keep these words in his heart in the past and never dared to reveal them at all, but this time, for some unknown reason, when facing their prince, he couldn't help but speak out what was in his heart.

"My lord, you are only in your thirties this year. It is in the prime of life and you are young again. Only by wearing brighter clothes can you bring out your grace. Those blue clothes will not complement you, and your whole body will look better if you wear them."

He looks several years older."

After listening to Yuan Wu's slightly aggrieved words, Qi Wang raised the corners of his mouth and brought a slight smile to his face: "Is this what you think from the bottom of your heart?"

Yuanwu nodded and said seriously: "My lord, you are blessed with a unique appearance. You look much younger than the servants. If you put on some brighter clothes, I am afraid that all the young ladies in the capital will fall in love with you.

"

As he spoke, Yuanwu's chatterbox opened up. Today's prince seemed to be particularly talkative, and Yuanwu somehow managed to speak out all the words he had been holding back in his heart in the past.

"Your Majesty, I shouldn't have said these words to you, but today I have to say it even if it's overstepping my bounds. You are thirty-two this year, and marrying a princess should be put on the agenda. You should have someone by your side who knows how to be warm and cold.

It hurts. The backyard of the palace has been empty for so many years. It should be more lively. Don’t you want to have children under your knees?"

Yuanwu came to the prince when he was fifteen years old. He was only five or six years younger than the prince. The prince saved him from being beaten to death on the street and brought him back to the prince's palace.

The name was given to him and he was given a place to settle down. From then on, Yuan Wu vowed to be loyal to the prince for the rest of his life.

Yuan Wu has been with the prince for so many years and knows that the prince's health is actually very good. There is nothing unspeakable about him as the outside world says.

When the rumors first spread, Yuanwu was so angry that he wanted to go out and fight with others, but in the end he was stopped by the prince. The prince said that there is no need to pay attention to these rumors. The pure will become clear by itself, and the dirty will become dirty.

, he doesn’t need to say anything to those who would believe the rumors.

At that time, Yuan Wu blindly believed in the prince and felt that as long as they ignored these rumors, no one would stop talking nonsense. However, what Yuan Wu did not expect was that these rumors would become more and more intense, not to mention the entire

With the great Yan Kingdom, even the foreign tribes knew such rumors.

Later, during the battle on the battlefield, the aliens even sent a group of people to shout at the prince in front of the battle, saying that the prince was a coward without balls and was not a real man at all. A man like him was just

You should be serving the emperor in the palace, and you shouldn't be on the battlefield at all.

Those foreigners tried their best to humiliate him, as if they wanted to arouse the prince's anger and make him completely lose his mind, so that they could find an opportunity to attack him.

Fortunately, the prince is not the kind of impulsive person. These nonsense did not affect the prince. After hearing this, the prince was not affected at all. He shot an arrow through the throat of the foreign leader. After that, the prince led an army of two hundred thousand people.

They fought all the way deep into the grassland, approaching the alien imperial city. In the end, the prince broke through the alien city gate and slaughtered all the alien royal family.

It was also that battle that won the prince the title of the undefeated God of War. The people of Dayan called the prince the god of war and even enshrined the prince's longevity tablet at home to pray for his protection.

It was because of that battle that the rumors about the prince's inability to survive disappeared completely. No matter what they said in private, at least publicly, no one was saying that the prince was ill and no longer a man.

After the aliens were wiped out, Dayan's serious troubles were completely eliminated. The other small countries were no match for Dayan. The reputation of Dayan's God of War made them so frightened that they couldn't even raise the slightest intention to resist.

After the border stabilized, the prince returned to the court and returned to the imperial capital. He did not take on errands, but became an idle prince. However, the emperor did not take back the prince's military power, so although the prince had no errands now,

No one dared to underestimate the prince.

Yuanwu restrained his thoughts that were running away. He looked at the prince who was slowly eating breakfast with silver chopsticks in front of him, and his eyes fell on the prince's better face.

The prince in crimson clothes looks much younger than usual. When the prince goes out now, he says that he has just passed his prime years. Some people believe that the prince is good-looking, powerful, and his temperament

What's more, if the prince is willing, there are many girls' families who want to marry into the prince's palace.

"Your Majesty, I'm saying all this for your own good. Do you want to consider my suggestion? There will be a plum blossom appreciation party in two days, hosted by Princess Shao'an. You might as well go and attend it, even if you don't want to.

If you want to do something, it’s good to go out for a walk, which saves you from wasting time at home, don’t you think?”

Yuan Wu persuaded his prince with earnest words, and he wanted Qi Wang to go out more and meet people. The prince used to be either in the military camp or alone at home. He had not seen many women. No wonder he was interested in this.

If you don't mind the matter, maybe if you go out for a walk and see those young girls, the prince will be interested.

"Plum Blossom Appreciation Banquet? Is it in the courtyard outside Changjie City?"

Yuan Wu nodded repeatedly, and seeing that Qi Wang seemed to be interested, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, in fact, the eldest princess also submitted a message to come in some time ago, but you said that you were not feeling well at that time and did not want to see guests, so the eldest princess did not

If you can come in, you have a good relationship with the eldest princess, so why not take this opportunity to go for a walk and keep in touch with each other."

When Yuan Wu was talking, Qi Wang had almost eaten. After hearing Yuan Wu's words, Qi Wang put down the silver chopsticks in his hand. He lazily supported his chin with his hand and looked at Yuan Wu who was talking non-stop.

Wu, said slowly: "Did the eldest sister's post arrive? Did you say when?"

Yuanwu was still nagging Qi Juan before, but as he was talking, he suddenly felt that something was not right. Yuanwu was slightly startled, and looked up at Qi Juan, his round eyes filled with

An expression of disbelief.

"My lord, do you agree?"

Happiness came so suddenly. Yuanwu could never imagine why the prince who had refused to go out before suddenly changed his mind. He thought he was hallucinating, so he asked again to confirm whether it was true.

Qi Wang nodded, still looking lazy: "I think you are right, I always stay at home in the winter, and my old bones will become crispy. It is better to go out for a walk and rejuvenate the body."

, I just blocked your mouth, so that you don’t always think that I am like a lady who never leaves the house or takes a step forward.”

In the end, Qi Wang said this half-jokingly. Yuanwu was frightened by Qi Wang's words. He wanted to kneel down again, but after seeing Qi Wang's expression, his bent knees straightened up again.

.

The prince doesn't like him kneeling all the time, so it's better for him not to kneel.

"Well, Your Majesty, the banquet is in half a month. Why don't you make some clothes? I think this crimson dress on you looks very nice. Why don't you make two more bright clothes?

Match it with the white fox fur cloak you made a few years ago, and go out and keep it to keep those young men down."

After talking about changing the color of Qi Wang's clothes, Yuanwu started talking again with great interest. The more he talked, the more enthusiastic he became, and his eyes seemed to be shining.

Seeing Yuan Wu like this, Qi Wang raised the corners of his mouth, with a faint smile on his face. He nodded and said lightly: "That's great. I'm tired of wearing blue clothes too, so just

As you said, making two more bright clothes will just change all the clothes in the closet."

When he said this, Qi Wang paused for a moment, and then continued: "As for those old clothes, don't waste them. Pawn them and exchange them for silver. Buy porridge and go to the city gate to give alms. This winter

It's a bit cold and not normal. If you have some hot porridge to drink, the beggars will have an easier time."

Although Prince Xin's family has a lot of wealth, Qi Wang has no intention of using it to do good things.

The emperor was suspicious by nature, and he trusted him because he mistakenly believed that King Xin would not have any heirs. In addition, King Xin had never done anything to enhance his reputation, so the emperor had great trust in King Xin.

It is indeed a good deed to help beggars and victims of disaster, but it cannot be done as a king of faith.

After eating Qi Wang's food, Yuan Wu was in a weird state of excitement. Seeing that Qi Wang had finished eating, Yuan Wu naturally moved the plate on the table to the small table next to him and took it himself.

I took the wooden chopsticks I brought with me and started eating.
