There are different opinions on who is most affected by the change of dynasty. Some people say the emperor, some say the clan, but the concubines of the palace are the most directly affected, because the owner of the palace has changed.
Empress Gao, who was in the cold palace, always supported Yun Chai. Her father failed in the political struggle, and King Cheng left her in the cold palace, eating fast and chanting Buddha's name.
She has long lost the concept of being loyal and becoming a king. The life in the cold palace has made her understand that this is her last chance to live a normal life, and she cherishes it extremely.
Organize your face, strengthen your advantages, have the temperament of a queen, fall into a horse bun, and become a mature beautiful woman. Time will continue to make this peach mature. If you can jump ship this time, you will not have to worry about it for the rest of your life.
On the other side, Concubine Lin is also a woman who is white-washing and cannot decide her own destiny. She is extremely helpless. She has long known that King Qinghe is dead, and her father who supported King Qinghe is also dead.
Concubine Lin knew her future fate. Death was the most likely possibility. A silent death, not only her name, but also her gravesite might not be left.
Xia Guo's attack on Cheng Guo gave her a chance for a new life and new support. The premise was to seize this opportunity.
The two most noble concubines in the Cheng Kingdom were only so determined to defect to Xia at the moment, so Zhuang Xun, who was tempted by Li Rusi's offer and could not refuse, was a real sheep in the wolf's den.
Sheep in the wolf's den, it's true. Zhuang Xun feels that this is the situation now. The mature Empress Gao, the quiet Concubine Lin, and the noble Li Shaoyun are dismantling Zhuang Xun's clothes with both hands. Li Rusi Watching with folded hands and a smile.
"No, what are you doing..." Zhuang Xun was in a hurry, but his clothes were still torn off.
It shouldn't be this script, it shouldn't be, what Li Shaoyun told him was not this script, it was obviously just...
"Of course I serve your majesty, please have mercy on your majesty." Empress Gao began to take off her clothes, and Zhuang Xun was hugged by the mature beauty with bulging front and back.
"Yes, when Your Majesty takes over the country, how can you not conquer us concubines from enemy countries and leave your mark?"
Concubine Lin spoke very boldly and openly, which was different from her quiet appearance. After taking off her clothes, she had a more well-proportioned figure and leaned directly against Zhuang Xun's body.
Cheng Guo's aesthetic is that of morbid and delicate, and both beauties are like this. They are tall but appear delicate, but they are not meatless ribs. It seems suitable for Zhuang Xun to hold both of them.
It's just that the impact of this scene was a bit too big for Cheng Wang. He had been suffering from a nervous breakdown for more than ten days, and his mind went blank when he saw this scene.
He was uneasy, he was afraid of death.
He understands small things but makes mistakes in big things and jumps left and right. He once firmly supported Zhuang Xun and pulled Li Shaoyun to support Zhuang Xun.
He was confused at the critical moment, and the letter to his brother King Qinghe was half-hidden. He did not clearly explain the special nature of Zhuang Xun, and did not wake up King Qinghe. He gave King Qinghe a false illusion and was unwilling to seek refuge with Zhuang Xun, even in the face of being given information. Zhuang Xun paid little attention to it.
This is also a major point of difference between him and Li Shaoyun. He still has illusions in his heart that he can continue to check and balance and continue to control the court. Li Shaoyun has long since laid down and wants to give Zhuang Xun one less thing to do.
The relationship between the two parties was not very harmonious in the past. When the Li family was not gaining momentum, King Cheng was afraid of Li Shaoyun like a snake and scorpion, and suppressed her openly and covertly through Queen Gao, Concubine Lin Guifei.
Were there few things that were said to be humiliating before? Not entering the palace gate, arranging seats to stay away from each other during flower viewing parties, etc. are all ways to prevent others.
Seeing that everyone had surrendered to the enemy, Li Shaoyun did not say anything about the temporary alliance. Who knew that King Cheng had second thoughts, and subsequently defected to Li Pingyuan's camp. Li Shaoyun had already been itching with hatred.
When he became a king, he himself was harmed by speculation and vacillation. Even if he fell out with Li Pingyuan before, he still wanted to save Zhuang Xun because Zhuang Xun gave him the hope of becoming an immortal. Later, General Yu gave him a more real hope. Seeing the scene of becoming an immortal, he joined General Yu's camp to deal with Zhuang Xun.
He has no firm ideals and beliefs. He is afraid of death, especially of old age and death. His integrity is all a lie. He discovers General Yu’s identity as a monster and hears that General Yu can lead him to the immortal path. He yearns to become a king, become an immortal, become an immortal. All he had dreamed of.
Especially with the successful case of King Yu, King Cheng's heart is burning. No matter how much he thinks about it, can he be as tempted as becoming an immortal in front of him?
In order to be able to cultivate immortality, he abandoned Zhuang Xun and took the initiative to go to the Xia Army camp. He lied about using the intelligence network to escape and also brought a top-secret message. A large number of tiger and wolf riders were ambushed in the remaining mountains of Qinghu Mountain, which made Li Rusi, who played a strategic role, Headed to the right wing to set up defenses and ended up being temporarily trapped.
Because he was going there in person and had a very friendly attitude toward Zhuang Xun before, Li Rusi made arrangements based on King Cheng's information despite some doubts.
If it weren't for Li Chengzhi's real surprise troops being held back, and the outcome unknown, then Xia Guo would really be dragged down by the crazy Li Pingyuan for a few years, how could he still have the strength to compete with the country in Yuzhou.
He also knew that his sins were serious. Before coming to the palace, King Cheng was already extremely frightened and waiting for treatment. The result of the treatment was not yet available, which almost made him anxious to death.
There was no great victory for Cheng's army, no general Yu came to save him, there was nothing but the imminent trial of him by Xia State, the destruction of Cheng State, and the dream of immortality, all illusive.
At this time, he didn't dare to think about cultivating immortality. General Yu was dead, so why should he cultivate immortality? He began to worry about his own life again. He was still middle-aged and he didn't want to die.
I regretted my impulsive actions at the time. When I heard that King Yu had become an immortal, and watched General Yu doing Taoism, my mind was full of thoughts of cultivating immortals. I wanted to live forever, I wanted to live forever, I wanted to be like King Yu. Become an immortal and never enter the underworld.
According to what he did, it would not be too much for Zhuang Xun to chop off his head. Failure in such a battle would directly affect Zhuang Xun's national destiny. Now that Zhuang Xun has won the battle and even entered Jidu, this does not mean that he is guilty of transmitting false information. Reduced.
It just depends on what Zhuang Xun plans to do. After all, he has no value anymore. Li Ping is far more useful than him in calling on the remaining cities to surrender. Li Shaoyun is useful in national management.
Now whether Zhuang Xun wants to kill him just depends on whether Zhuang Xun has this intention, but he guesses that he doesn't want to, because if he wants to kill him, there is no need to recruit him into the palace, and he can be executed secretly.
But King Cheng was still panicking. He had already fallen out with Li Shaoyun last time because of their own motives. The relationship was not very friendly to begin with. Adding up the last time, it was enough for Li Shaoyun to use severe punishment to deal with him.
And when he heard that Zhuang Xun had met Li Shaoyun, he was even more frightened. He had no news that Zhuang Xun was ready to forgive him.
When he came to the palace this time, he was afraid and horrified, and he was cautious. Then he saw Zhuang Xun and the queen he had not seen for several years moving together.
The queen is still beautiful. She is the daughter of the prime minister. The Gao family is a big family. Their daughter is elegant and noble, and they used to be a loving couple.
There is also Concubine Lin. She comes from King Qinghe, and her father is Tanhua. In fact, Prince Qinghe is King Cheng's secret son. He also likes Concubine Lin very much, but at this moment, Concubine Lin only shows flattery towards Zhuang Xun.
King Cheng was filled with anger, and the man's dignity was being teased, because it was clearly Gao Lin's second concubine who took the initiative, but Zhuang Xun held their arms around their waists, but it seemed that they were being forced, and his woman was being played with by Zhuang Xun.
"King Cheng is good at painting, how about you paint with this." Li Shaoyun interrupted the three people who were getting better.
Zhuang Xun turned his head in panic and saw the green-faced King Cheng. He was holding the second concubine Gao Lin in his arms and doing some small exercises with Queen Gao, but he became even more excited.
Queen Gao was still calm, while Concubine Lin blushed and turned her head to block Zhuang Xun's gaze. However, she still ignored her former husband, did not even say hello, and continued to cling to Zhuang Xun.
"I, Gu, I..." King Cheng forgot what to call him for a moment. He looked at a dragon and two phoenixes, and he wanted to shout out, but he didn't know what to say.
Li Shaoyun's words also made him feel a strong sense of humiliation. The queen or the noble concubine was visited by the monarch of another country and asked him to draw and record it?
"Is King Cheng unwilling to paint? It seems that he still cherishes his homeland?" Li Shaoyun chuckled. She completely got rid of the shackles of the old country and accepted her new identity. The same was true for the second concubine Gao Lin. Otherwise, how could she be so obedient? Even proactively.
"How can we draw if we lack pen, ink, paper and inkstone." King Cheng could not scold Empress Gao and Concubine Lin for being unruly women, because it was Zhuang Xun who was in charge of them. He had the big label of "caring for the motherland" and King Cheng did not dare to accept it at all and surrendered. The king is most afraid of hearing these four words.
Suddenly the anger disintegrated a lot, and the fear of death took over. He was afraid of death. Even if he saw his own queen and Concubine Lin being bullied and suppressed by Zhuang Xun, he could not say a bad word.
General Yu's promise to him turned into hypocrisy. General Yu himself also turned into nothing. He died miserably. In order to survive, he could only say this.
"There is no shortage of pens, inks, papers and inkstones, so please come." He was invited to sit at the desk. Li Shaoyun didn't show any sympathy to this husband who was once a nominal husband. Cheng Wang was not as weak as Lu Buming.
Speaking of being husbands, the mutual reservation of information has already caused them to part ways. The frustration of becoming a princess in the early stage and the fear of causing chaos in the later stage of becoming a king, Li Shaoyun will not have any sympathy for the king.
"This, this..." With trembling hands and a humiliated heart, he looked at the three people who had ignored him and continued to cooperate with each other. How could King Cheng draw such a picture.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Concubine Lin's melodious singing voice shouted these words to Your Majesty. She was clearly called Zhuang Xun, as if she was shouting to King Cheng's heart.
He had never done such a presumptuous act, putting Empress Gao and Concubine Lin together, Zhuang Xun did it, overwhelming his two beloved concubines like dogs.
"Why, His Majesty is visiting your harem, but you can't draw it? Are you angry?" Li Shaoyun smiled and said with a sense of oppression, as if expecting King Cheng to make some rebellious remarks.
King Cheng was afraid of death. He knew how sinful his previous actions were. After Zhuang Xun's victory, he was reckoned with. If he still had a confrontational attitude at this moment, he would definitely die.
"Nothing, I'm still observing His Majesty the Xia Emperor's heroic movements and mastering his form." King Cheng quickly explained that although Zhuang Xun was playing with his harem, in order to survive, he could only do it as a normal thing.
His extreme performance attracted not only Li Shaoyun's contempt, but also Li Rusi's, and of course Queen Gao who was immersed in joy.
Although she knew that King Cheng was a self-interested person, hearing such a submissive response still made Queen Gao firm up her decision and become even more carefree.
"Then hurry up. Your Majesty won't be happy if he doesn't see your painting after visiting the Queen."
He had completely sided with Zhuang Xun, urging him as a supervisor, and deliberately intimidating King Cheng.
Li Rusi couldn't stand it, so she pulled Li Shaoyun's sleeve. She was the victim of false information, and she felt that killing could only be done with a nod. Such humiliation was too terrible.
If it were her, she would have committed suicide long ago. Unfortunately, she underestimated a person's desire to survive.
King Cheng really observed, observed Zhuang Xun's movements, observed the graceful dancing postures of Zhuang Xun and Queen Gao Lin Guifei, and picked up his brush to paint.
For the sake of survival and a man's dignity, no matter what, Cheng Wang became a complete tortoise.
The characters are sketched with expressive expressions and full of charm. The Li sisters look at each other in amazement. They both have certain literary qualities and are amazed.
The two sisters were amazed, and Zhuang Xun was also curious. He brought Queen Gao to the desk, and he didn't feel embarrassed. Not to mention the disgust of knowing that King Cheng was jumping around to trick him. King Cheng was such a turtle. You won't get much respect from him.
So he saw the famous painting handed down from later generations, "The King of Xia Happened to Concubine" was born. When he became the king, he painted the phoenix crown and other symbols for Queen Gao. In the picture, the three people were happy and happy, half-covered, but they showed unity in the embrace, and their expressions were beautiful. The charm is like seeing the person.
The excited Zhuang Xun slapped Empress Gao repeatedly, as if no one else was around. Empress Gao endured her anger and rested herself on the desk, breathing heavily, looking at her former supreme being. The two people who were once close were so close that they were now strangers.
"Your Majesty, the little king offended Your Majesty, please spare your life." He weakly addressed him as Zhuang Xun. Less than ten years later, it was his turn to call Zhuang Xun "Your Majesty."
"Don't worry, I won't kill you. Don't you want to practice Taoism? I will allocate a dojo to you. Anyway, if you practice Taoism, you don't need the queen and concubine, so I will take care of them for you. I won't let them remain a widow, and you can concentrate on cultivating Taoism. "
Zhuang Xun trembled. He was excited when he saw the lifelike scroll. He didn't know how to deal with it. Anyway, he was so happy. It was a waste of beauty to give him such a turtle man. Besides, the things he had marked, whether they were bought or stolen, could also be used as vases. Will not give it away.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty." King Cheng kowtowed with great joy, his unpromising look falling into the eyes of everyone.
"Take your paintings and go away. If you miss the concubine, just look at the paintings." Li Shaoyun did not hesitate to express her malice.
The timid King Cheng thanked him profusely and left dejectedly. At this time, Zhuang Xun was a little disgusted with Li Shaoyun's harsh behavior and said:
"As for humiliating people that much?"
"Haha, Your Majesty, you have never seen him humiliate people. If you don't believe me, just ask Concubine Gao and Concubine Lin. As a Taoist, he is not close to women... and he is trying to harm you. I am just venting your anger for Your Majesty."
Li Shaoyun felt that it was far from enough to show mercy to such a traitor. She could only say that Zhuang Xun was too merciful. Others had bigger tricks.
"Okay, I understand, let's go to bed." Zhuang Xun didn't want to pursue the matter. It was really unnecessary to blame his own family for the sake of half an enemy.
"Okay, sister, come too." Li Shaoyun took Li Rusi's hand. Zhuang Xun's non-pursuing attitude made her happy. This is how he should be considerate of his king.
Li Rusi, who was happily eating melon, was confused. Wasn't she here to protect Zhuang Xun's safety? Why are you suddenly joining the battlefield?
"Beauty, you are finally willing to change your clothes and sleep with me today." Zhuang Xun hugged Li Rusi's waist.
Today Li Shaoyun told him that he was here to get Li Rusi, and finally got the concubine of the king, but he did not forget the main menu.
"Wait, no..." What was going on in this scene? Li Rusi immediately realized that she was not here to humiliate Cheng Wang today, but actually to tease her.
"Madam, I haven't had sex with you for a long time. You lied to me so miserably last time." Zhuang Xun's tone was low and full of complaints.
Li Rusi, who was about to struggle, softened her heart and body after hearing this.
"We two, don't bring anyone else with us..." Li Rusi looked around, Li Shaoyun, Empress Gao, Concubine Lin, she felt a little numb in this environment.
"I've given you a bath since you were a child, and now you still dislike me." Li Shaoyun's face sank, looking quite unhappy.
"This is not a bath, but..."
This is serving men together.
"Isn't it all about taking off your clothes? My sister will help you take them off. Why don't you warm up after watching His Majesty for so long?"
King Cheng, Queen Gao, and Concubine Lin are all in the spotlight. Today's target is Li Rusi.
Knowing that her influence and political status were not high in Zhuang Xun's mind, she decisively relied on Li Rusi's influence.
Normally, Li Rusi would find a reason to evade, so she got into this situation.
Having already made it this far, how could he let Li Rusi escape?
