Since returning to the imperial palace, Liu Huai's life has become boring.
In the huge Luodu, even though there are many powerful people and nobles and princes everywhere, no one gives Liu Huai any chance to step on him to relieve his boredom.
Even those top-notch young men whose reputations were resounding throughout Luodu, who were arrogant and domineering because of their powerful backgrounds, and who had always feared nothing and no one, all disappeared from the day Liu Huai returned to Luodu.
Every day I just hide at home like a big girl and never leave the house.
I was afraid that I, who had always been blind, would accidentally offend His Highness the Crown Prince who liked to pay private visits incognito while pretending to be pigs and tigers when he went out, thereby committing the crime of punishing the nine clans.
In fact, Liu Huai did not go out during this period, and returned to his prince's palace to live, always staying in the imperial palace Zihua Palace.
The days were very boring. Every day they just trained Liu Yunhao and Liu Yunxi, and then took the two little guys to go shopping at Yaoyong's place.
Just in response to the words "Come here often to hang out", Yao Yong regretted it so much that he wanted to tear up his mouth immediately, and also made the two little guys feel annoyed and in love with Liu Huai.
However, compared to Liu Huai's boredom, Luo today is actually very lively.
As the New Year approaches, the feudal officials from various states and counties and even the vassal emperors with different surnames and other civil and military officials who govern a territory will return to the Longting Imperial Palace to report on their duties.
Then they will stay in the mansion in Luo Duzhong for a few days and move around to communicate with their relatives, friends and some high-ranking officials of the Six Ministries.
This is how the so-called network of relationships and even major factions are gradually formed.
Jianghu is not about fighting and killing; Jianghu is about human relations.
In this regard, even the powerful vassal emperors with different surnames are no exception.
It's just that you don't have to be humble when facing any of the six officials.
After all, there are only a handful of people who can really let them down and visit, even the most upright officials like the Six Ministers are not included in this list.
The excitement of Luodu doesn’t stop there.
With the unification of the Holy Domain at the end of this year, and the addition of the Ancient Divine Dao Domain established by Prince Liu Huai, the Dragon Court of the Han Dynasty gained an entire Dao Domain and a half in an instant.
For these newly acquired territories, Longting needed to select various officials and send troops to manage and guard them.
These territories and official positions are like a huge cake, representing endless resources and interests, attracting wealthy families and those who have just surrendered.
He did not hesitate to travel hundreds of millions of miles across the border to Longting Luodu, bringing countless treasures and beauties with him.
I don’t know how many connections I have relied on and how many officials I have visited. I just want to seek the best interests for my family and orthodoxy and get my favorite official position.
The personnel department, the household department and the military department, which are fully responsible for this matter, are even more busy at this time.
In order to better weigh the interests of all parties and comprehensively consider the interference of various external factors, in the end we can only postpone this matter to make a decision after the year.
After all, the interests involved here are too great, so we have to act with caution.
Some time ago, Fan Sichu, the leader of the Beast Taming Dao Sect, once said: When it comes to finding a backdoor, who has a greater network than Liu Huai, the Prince of Longting of the Han Dynasty?
However, in fact, except for some members of the Liu royal family, almost no outsiders dared to risk their lives to disturb Liu Huai for such a thing.
Imperial Palace.
Queen Yuwen and Princess Dongfang were chatting happily in the Fanghua Palace. Zixuan was sitting beside them, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
Liu Huai and Liu Yu were sitting in the courtyard of Fanghua Palace, chatting while listening to the laughter and laughter in the palace.
"I heard that the threshold of your royal palace is almost being kicked to pieces?"
Liu Huai took a slow sip of tea and asked.
Liu Yu smiled bitterly and replied: "The thresholds made of top-quality jade have been replaced three times."
"Genius Wei Wei Liang, those guests surrounded my house. Not only did they send gifts to my father, but they also gave me women. It really gave me a headache."
"Hey, brother Yuhuang, you still have a headache for women?"
"Isn't he the famous swinger in Luodu back then who claimed to have visited three thousand talented women and beauties?"
Seeing Liu Yu's extremely helpless expression, Liu Huai couldn't help but joke.
"Your Highness is joking. There is no such thing as the number of three thousand. It's just exaggerated by those outside."
Liu Yu looked solemn and replied seriously: "To be precise, it should be 2,781."
Liu Huai was startled for a moment, then he couldn't help but laugh heartily, pointing at Liu Yu who looked serious and didn't know what to say.
Liu Yu was also a little embarrassed by Liu Huai's smile, and quickly changed the subject and asked: "Your Highness, why haven't you seen the shadow of Shenju these days?"
"A divine move?"
Thinking of that fool Yuwen Shenju, Liu Huai couldn't help laughing even louder and said: "The situation of his family is similar to yours. There are also many wealthy families who give him women, hoping that the Yuwen family will speak for them."
"And Aunt Gu Nahuang also wants to take this opportunity to select a Taoist companion with both ability and political integrity for Shenju."
"But Shenju didn't want to, and finally he was forced to tell the big families who came to visit him that although his name was Yuwen Shenju, he was not born to do it, so he told them not to worry about it."
"The emperor's aunt put him in solitary confinement out of anger, and he hasn't been released yet, hahaha..."
"You brat, why are you laughing?"
Queen Yuwen's voice suddenly came from behind, frightening Liu Huai's laughter to a halt. He quickly stood up and turned around to see his mother walking out of Fanghua Palace, followed by Princess Dongfang and Zixuan.
The Princess of the East is still as charming as ever, with a tall and sexy figure, and an even more dignified and luxurious temperament.
At this time, there was an undisguised smile hanging between her bright and beautiful eyebrows.
I heard from Brother Yuhuang that Princess Dongfang came to see her mother this time to seek some favors for her mother's family, the Dongfang family, and it seemed that her mother had agreed.
"Nothing, nothing."
Liu Huai said with a smile.
"Queen, I will take my leave first."
Princess Dongfang bowed to Queen Yuwen and said softly.
"good."
Queen Yuwen nodded with a smile.
Afterwards, Princess Dongfang also bowed slightly to Liu Huai and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will often come to my concubine's house to sit and sit there when he has time. Your Majesty has said more than once that he wants to thank you very much."
Liu Huai immediately returned the gift and said with a smile: "Definitely."
Seeing this, Princess Dongfang's smile became even brighter.
"The Empress, Your Highness, I will take my leave."
Liu Yu said respectfully.
"Brother Yuhuang, please go to the residence of Su Wei, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and tell me that you are lonely."
Just when Liu Yu was about to leave with Princess Dongfang, Liu Huai suddenly gave instructions.
"yes."
Liu Yu's eyes narrowed slightly and he responded immediately.
Hearing this, Queen Yuwen's heart moved. She didn't know when her son would worry about such a thing, but she didn't ask any more questions...
