Chapter 110 Life Is Like a Play

That night.

Taiji Palace, Ganlu Hall.

In the huge palace, only a yellow bean was lit, illuminating a desk.

The desk was neatly filled with memorials waiting to be reviewed, and in front of these memorials sat a heroic man in a red dragon robe.

This man looked to be about thirty or forty years old, but his temples were already gray, and he looked prematurely aged.

His shoulders were extremely broad, and even when he was sitting, you could see that he had a thick skeleton.

This man was the current emperor of the Daxing Dynasty, Emperor Yongyuan.

It was late at night, but Emperor Yongyuan had no intention of resting.

In the darkness, Zhao Feng walked out slowly, saluted respectfully, and waited quietly.

After a long time, Emperor Yongyuan finished reviewing the last memorial, then put down the brush in his hand, pressed his eyebrows, and relieved the accumulated fatigue.

"Speak."

Emperor Yongyuan's voice was low, with a hint of laziness.

"Your Majesty."

"The animal taming competition in the Imperial Garden has ended successfully."

"As Your Majesty expected, all parties regarded this change as a concession after the controversy over the succession."

"All the empresses and princes took this competition very seriously."

"But the winner in the end was Her Royal Highness Princess Thirteen."

Emperor Yongyuan, who had closed his eyes and rubbed his brows slowly, paused, slowly opened his eyes, frowned and confirmed: "Who do you say won?"

"The Thirteenth Princess, Her Royal Highness Li Ankang."

Zhao Feng changed his words again.

"Ha...haha..."

Emperor Yongyuan suddenly laughed, and laughed louder and louder.

His laughter was deep and echoed in the dark Ganlu Palace.

Zhao Feng lowered his head and waited for Emperor Yongyuan to continue asking questions.

After laughing for a while, Emperor Yongyuan shook his head and said with emotion: "Ankang? I really didn't expect it."

"Tell me what happened today in detail."

With a smile on his face, Emperor Yongyuan swept away the pile of memorials in front of him, rubbed his chin with interest, and listened.

Zhao Feng recounted everything that happened during the day.

He even told the truth about how he deliberately watched Concubine Zhang make a fool of herself.

He did not add his own subjective intentions, but just described the facts as a third party.

After listening, Emperor Yongyuan asked: "What's the matter with Ankang's black cat?"

"I have inquired about it. This cat was indeed picked up by Her Royal Highness the Princess last summer and then raised in the palace."

"But judging from today's performance, it should not be an ordinary house cat, but more likely some kind of rare and exotic animal."

"Judging from its intelligence and physical potential, it should have the possibility of growing into a spiritual beast."

For the human race, those who can be used by me are spiritual beasts, and those who cannot be used by me are fierce beasts.

But in essence, they all refer to beasts with special powers.

In fact, Li Xuan himself didn't know that based on his performance today, whether in terms of intelligence or physical potential, he actually had the potential to become a spiritual beast.

He thought he had hidden his strength well, but in fact, the strength that was revealed was enough to make Zhao Feng pay attention to him.

"With the conditions of Jingyang Palace, I'm afraid it's impossible to feed this black cat well, right?" Emperor Yongyuan asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After Zhao Feng answered, he pondered for a moment and added: "The black cat and Her Royal Highness the Princess have a deep relationship, I'm afraid it's difficult to separate them."

"With the black cat's current intelligence, I'm afraid it will be difficult to tame it again."

Emperor Yongyuan also nodded, without commenting.

He had just heard about the situation in the last round of the game.

It can stop eating Mengyuan Dragon Fish meat and wait for the next instruction. It really can't be regarded as an ordinary beast.

"In that case, let's keep him in Jingyang Palace."

"Just replace the first prize with something practical and send it over."

Zhao Feng understood immediately and understood what Emperor Yongyuan meant.

"I obey your order."

"As for the others..."

Emperor Yongyuan flicked his five fingers and tapped on the table in turn, with a faint smile on his face.

"In addition, from tomorrow, the three meals a day in Jingyang Palace will be sent to one-third of the imperial meal."

"No interruption without my order."

Hearing this, Zhao Feng looked up at Emperor Yongyuan in astonishment.

"Your Majesty, this..."

"No need to say more!"

Emperor Yongyuan waved his hand with a firm attitude.

Zhao Feng didn't say much and could only accept the order.

"I have handed you the fuel to add fuel to the fire. What you do next is up to you."

Emperor Yongyuan looked at Zhao Feng, who was lowering his head, with a smile on his face.

Zhao Feng's face changed, and he knelt on the ground, shouting: "I am terrified, I am terrified..."

"What are you terrified of?" Emperor Yongyuan smiled even more, and continued to joke: "All of my concubines are troublesome, and I am counting on you and your son to take good care of them for me."

"Okay, go and do your work. I need to rest."

Emperor Yongyuan waved his hand, and Zhao Feng was relieved. He knelt on the ground and moved backwards, saying in a hurry: "I'll take my leave, I'll take my leave..."

A master is a master.

Zhao Feng kept kneeling and retreated at a very fast speed, like a cockroach, all the way to the outside of Ganlu Palace.

It was not until the palace door in front of him closed that Zhao Feng's legs softened and he collapsed on the ground, unconsciously breaking out in a cold sweat.

As a result, a puff sounded beside him, obviously laughing at Zhao Feng who was in such a mess at this time.

Zhao Feng looked at the person who laughed at him angrily, raised his hand and pretended to hit him, and cursed in a low voice: "Old thing, aren't you afraid of scaring me to death and leaving yourself without descendants, and no one to see you off at the end of your life."

The one who laughed at Zhao Feng was naturally his godfather, the former head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Shang Wenfu.

Shang was guarding the door alone, obviously having been waiting for a long time.

Seeing his adopted son throwing tantrums at him, Shang Zongguan was not annoyed. He dodged the attack lightly and laughed even louder.

"Haha, look at your useless look."

"I'm going to inform you in advance, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave this Ganlu Palace."

"I taught you before that if you want to deceive others, you have to deceive yourself first."

"Acting as you are is the most real."

Zhao Feng pointed at his godfather's nose and wanted to curse him again, but after thinking about it, he timidly put down his hand.

He patted his clothes and stood up from the ground, saying unhappily: "Godfather, I'm not young anymore, but I can't stand being scared like this anymore."

"Okay, okay, don't disturb your majesty's rest, let's go."

The father and son looked at each other and silently glanced at each other's backs.

In this palace, they are actors who have to be prepared all the time.

And they don't have a chance to start over. If they make a mistake, they may have to finish the filming directly.

The father and son said nothing more, and silently left the place side by side, heading towards the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

…

Early the next morning.

Li Xuan was awakened by a noisy knock on the door, and woke up in a daze on the bed with Princess Ankang.

They could still hear Yu'er's hurried footsteps and the sound of answering the door outside the room.
