Jade Dragon is not living a good life now. He stays in the courtyard of his palace, sitting all day long, unable to do anything. It's not that he doesn't want to do anything, but that he doesn't have this opportunity. He is under house arrest. .
Jade Dragon separated from Zhao Hai because of Gui Mian's personal affairs. He took Gui Mian's matter very seriously, because only he and Zhao Hai knew that Gui Mian had brought out a demon, so he paid special attention to this matter, and he and Zhao Hai After they separated, he returned to the Ice Jade Kingdom as quickly as possible, and went directly into the palace to meet his father and tell him about the ghost face.
But what he said did not attract his father's attention. In his father's opinion, this was something that the entire Five Spirit World knew, and there was no need to mention it. After adding his brothers, Because of this incident, he began to attack him, saying that he just didn't want to go to the trial, so he took this opportunity to come back, saying that he was greedy for life, afraid of death, lazy and not a descendant of the Peizhiyu family at all.
Although his father was somewhat partial to him, he had never shown anything outstanding over the years. With more people attacking him, his father naturally gradually became annoyed with him. Finally, Simply put him under house arrest and prevent him from leaving his yard.
Jade Dragon is very clear about the fact that Ghost Face was very violent in the past period, but Ghost Face is not so subdued. Now, although it seems to be so on the surface, all countries have worked together to drive Ghost Face out of the mainland and let them go to the island. It died on its own, but Jade Dragon knew that this was just a chance for Ghost Face to recuperate. As soon as the time comes, Ghost Face's people will immediately counterattack the mainland, and then several continents will probably be in danger.
But the problem is that no one believed what he said. He told his father, but because of the previous incident, his father always thought that he was exaggerating and making excuses for him to run home for no reason. Don't believe him at all. This leaves Jade Dragon at a loss now.
Now he has no choice but to sit in his room every day, eating and sleeping. If he hadn't gone out on this trip, if he hadn't seen so many interesting things, if he hadn't met Zhao Hai, if he hadn't known about Ghost Face, maybe the Jade Dragon would have been very happy. But it was different now. Now he couldn't eat or sleep. His originally fat body had lost weight and became very haggard.
Now, besides the eunuch who had followed him since childhood, the only people around Jade Dragon were two palace ladies. These two palace ladies had grown up with him and had been taken over by him. He planned to raise these two palace ladies as his concubines when he went out to build a mansion, but now he could do nothing.
On this day, the Jade Dragon was sitting in the cool courtyard of his yard again, drinking wine alone, but his drinking was a little special. There were two cups in front of a person. He drank one cup first, and then drank the other cup. Lose.
At this time, a eunuch about forty years old came out of the room. He glanced at the jade dragon sitting in the courtyard drinking. He couldn't help but shook his head, sighed, and then walked into the cool courtyard.
When he was a few steps away from the Liangting, the eunuch heard the drunken voice of Jade Dragon: "Brother Zhao, come, let's have a drink. Your drinking capacity has increased recently. It's rare. It's really... rare."
The eunuch sighed and walked into the cool courtyard. He said to the Jade Dragon: "Your Highness, please stop drinking. Alcohol is very harmful to your body. If you drink, your body will not be able to bear it anymore. Please stop drinking."
The Jade Dragon glanced at the eunuch and laughed loudly: "Yu Daban, do you know that wine is really a good thing? Why didn't I find it before? I always thought that food is a good thing, but now You know, wine is better than food, hahaha, come on, companion, have a couple of drinks with me."
Some high-status eunuchs in the palace who grew up with the prince are generally called Daban. This Daban grew up with the Jade Dragon, so the Jade Dragon calls him Daban.
Yu Daban looked at the Jade Dragon, sighed and said: "Your Highness, you can't drink anymore. I heard that the palace is discussing your leaving the palace to build a palace recently. Because you didn't complete the trial well this time, you left to build a palace." We can only build a small mansion, and we won’t give you any errands. I’m afraid you’ll have to rely on the salary the kilometer gives you in the future. Your Highness, you should make plans now.”
"Plan? What plan? Even if I leave the palace, can I lose food or drink? I don't have to worry about eating and drinking. What other plans do I have? Yu Daban, don't worry, I can't die, at most Just be a rich man." Jade Dragon said drunkenly, but his voice was very low.
When Yu Daban heard what the Jade Dragon said, he couldn't help but be stunned. Then he immediately understood what the Jade Dragon meant. He glanced around and found that no one was there. Then he took a breath. Then he looked at the Jade Dragon. Jiaolong was still there drinking glass after glass of wine, as if he didn't know anything, as if those words just now were not his.
Just when Yu Daban was in a daze, the door to their courtyard was suddenly pushed open. Yu Daban was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the courtyard door. You must know that the gate of Jade Dragon's courtyard has not been opened for a long time. Jade Dragon fell out of favor with the king because he suddenly returned to the palace. Those powerful people in the palace will naturally not climb the gate of Jade Dragon's courtyard. In addition, Jade Dragon was placed under house arrest in the palace and naturally could not go out, so his courtyard could be said to be the most deserted courtyard in the palace.
Now someone suddenly came to the door. Yu Daban not only didn't feel happy, but was actually frightened, because he suddenly came to the door at this time and came in without announcing. This person's intention was definitely not good.
Under the gaze of Yu Daban, an old eunuch in his sixties led several eunuchs and maids into the courtyard. When he saw this old eunuch, Yu Daban's heart was shocked, because he knew this old eunuch. It was Zhang Zhen, the most favored eunuch around the king.
Zhang Zhen was the most favored eunuch around the emperor. He naturally had unparalleled power in the palace. Even when several princes saw him, they all had to bow to Eunuch Zhang. Naturally, Yu Daban did not dare to neglect and came immediately. He bowed to Zhang Zhen and said, "I've met Eunuch Zhang. Why are you here today? But what do you have to say? If anything happens, just ask Eunuch Zhang to send someone to tell you. Why bother to go there in person?" "
Zhang Zhen glanced at Yu Daban and then at the jade dragon that had fallen in the cool courtyard. He couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "Old Yu, you were also raised by our family, the Eighth Prince. Also, speaking of it, if the Eighth Prince had come back on his own this time, we wouldn't have ended up in this situation. I'm here today because His Majesty asked me to deliver the order. Let the Eighth Prince receive the order."
Yu Daban responded quickly, went over to help the drunk Jade Dragon up, and then helped him kneel on the ground. Zhang Zhen looked at some Jade Dragons, sighed, and said: "Your Majesty orally, the Eighth Prince The jade dragon is now an adult. He is allowed to leave the palace and build a mansion. The mansion is for twenty people. There will be no mistake in leaving the palace tomorrow."
When Yu Daban heard Zhang Zhen's decree, his body couldn't help but trembled. He never thought that the king would let the jade dragon leave the palace to build a mansion at this time, and this mansion was a small mansion with a system of twenty people. This was really too big. So shabby.
You must know that here in Bingyu Kingdom, there are regulations for every prince who leaves the palace to build a mansion. It does not mean that you can build as big a house as you want. When a prince leaves the palace to build a mansion, the largest one must not exceed one hundred people. Then It is the eighty-person system, followed by the sixty-person system, the fifty-person system, the thirty-person system, the twenty-person system, and the twenty-person palace. It is already the smallest palace.
Of course, when the prince goes out to build a palace, the number of people in the palace cannot be as many as the regulations, but this regulation limits the size of the palace, and in palaces with more than fifty people, the prince always has errands to do, and they You can run errands outside, which means that you have real power, but the palace with a system of less than 50 people has no real power. Apart from the salary given by the palace every year, there is no income, unless it is your own When doing business, if someone is watching you, you can't even do business by yourself, because according to the regulations of the Ice Jade Kingdom, it is impossible for the royal family to do business by themselves.
In the past, the Jade Dragon was very popular with the king. Everyone thought that after he left the palace, he should build a mansion for at least eighty people, or even a hundred people, so that he would have his own errands. Well, having errands means you have power, and your income will naturally be more.
And here in Bingyu Kingdom, there is a very special rule, that is, if you want to inherit the throne, you must have errands. In other words, when you leave the emperor to build a palace, if you don’t have errands, then you basically I just missed that big position. And now the palace that Jade Dragon wants to build is actually for twenty people and is the smallest royal palace. This means that he can no longer inherit the throne. In other words, he has completely lost power and can only be a king in the future. An idle prince lived on his salary. Although he would not die of hunger, he would not be that rich.
Yu Daban glanced at the sleeping Jade Dragon with a sad look on his face, and said with tears in his eyes: "Yes, I respect His Majesty's will."
Zhang Zhen glanced at Yu Daban, sighed again, and led the eunuchs and maids to leave. After they left, Yu Daban accompanied the jade dragon into the room and put the jade dragon on the bed.
The only two maids in the courtyard also came to serve, but they only helped the Jade Dragon take off his clothes, and then Yu Daban was kicked out.
Yu Daban covered the Jade Dragon with a quilt, sighed, and was about to walk out of the room. At this time, the Jade Dragon, who seemed to have been sleeping, suddenly said: "The sea is wide enough for fish to jump, and the dawn allows birds to fly!" After saying that, he turned over and fell asleep again.
But Yu Daban clearly heard the words of the Jade Dragon. He was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the Jade Dragon with some surprise. He found that the Jade Dragon was still sideways and sleeping soundly. His eyes couldn't help but narrowed, and then It got brighter and brighter, and finally he couldn't help but smile, fisted at the Jade Dragon, turned and left. It was obvious that Yu Daban knew what the Jade Dragon meant, and he could rest assured. (To be continued.)
