Uncle(2)

After reading the original plot that made people want to complain, Duan Qingen took a look at the timeline.

Very good, now the timeline has reached the point where the original protagonist fell in love with the original heroine and started to "encounter" the original heroine's family several times.

Before the original owner was eighteen years old, he enjoyed his father's deep love. But after he turned eighteen, everything changed. Even if his father didn't mind loving him as before, he was no longer the prince and had to move. Li has lived in the palace since he was a child, and thought he would live in it for the rest of his life.

His biological mother died young. In the past, his only comfort to his relatives was his father. However, once he lost his status as the prince, his father could no longer love him as confidently as before.

After all, he is no longer a prince. The better his father treats him, the worse his situation will be.

It would be okay if I had never felt the care of others since I was a child. I grew up receiving care well, but suddenly one day, this care became less. Then, my father passed away, and this care was gone, and I was lonely again. More than ten years have passed since then.

For the original owner, no matter who it is at this time, as long as he gives him a little kindness, it is enough for him to remember it in his heart and want to return it a hundred times a thousand times.

Otherwise, how could the original heroine, the daughter of a mere fifth-rank official, become the royal princess?

The original owner really thought that the original heroine Wan Siyuan liked herself rather than her status as a prince. She foolishly thought that status was not important so that the person she liked and liked him could have an official title. That's the most important thing.

However, in fact, it was clearly stated in the original plot that Wan Siyuan simply discovered his identity as a prince and deliberately pretended to be attracted by his talents, just to show that she was of noble character and was not approaching the original owner for status.

The original author may have wanted to describe a Black Lotus heroine who rose to power through scheming, but the problem is, it’s okay to be scheming, and it’s okay to want to rise to the top, but it’s too much to repeatedly offend someone who really likes her like this. .

No wonder readers are so resentful.

If it were him, he would be very resentful.

After almost finishing watching the original plot, Duan Qingen waved his sleeves and said in a loud voice: "Here comes someone."

Almost immediately, someone from outside opened the door and came in, kowtowing to him respectfully: "Your Majesty."

The original owner gave King Yao after he was deposed as the crown prince. Yao means the sun, which shows his father's high expectations for him.

Unfortunately, his life was not as bright as the sun. Instead, he seemed to have lived in the shadows his whole life.

Duan Qing'en didn't think any more and just said to the man kneeling on the ground: "Where will the king be today?"

The person who was waiting carefully replied: "The prince said that he wants to go to Puhua Temple to worship Buddha."

"Then call a taxi."

"yes."

The waiter stood up and Duan Qingen looked at his appearance. He was very strong and strong. Although he was stooped, he still looked quite tall. His facial features were ordinary and he walked very steadily.

Judging from the memory of the original owner, this person is called Zhu Ye, who was given to him by his father when he became the deposed prince and left the palace. He has been waiting for him for more than ten years. It can be said that he seems to be beside the original owner. The most loyal person.

But unfortunately, this man is also a former emperor.

He has been placed next to the original owner for more than ten years. When the late emperor was around, he reported every move of the original owner to the late emperor. After the late emperor left, he began to report to the current nephew of the original owner.

There is loyalty, but unfortunately it is not to the original owner.

It's no wonder that the original owner only wanted to find a princess, and the couple could live peacefully together.

Although he didn't know that Zhu Ye was a traitor, he could feel that no one around him was sincerely caring for him. He had been alone for more than ten years, so of course he wanted to find someone to start a family with.

Duan Qingen watched Zhu Ye go out and ask someone to make arrangements, then come back to wait for him.

Although Zhu Ye betrayed the original owner, as a slave, he had to do what he had to do properly. During the whole process, Duan Qingen only had to open his arms and sit on the couch, and Zhu Ye could neatly put on his clothes, shoes and socks, and then let others He moved his wheelchair in and carefully helped Duan Qingen sit down.

He has a disease in his right leg. Although he can walk, his limp always looks ugly. Every time he walks like this, others always look at him. This is absolutely unbearable for a once proud prince.

In addition, when the late emperor was still alive, he always disliked his younger brother. He was worried that his brother would not be able to restrain his murderous intention and had no choice but to save his own life.

It is said that his legs can no longer walk and he will have to sit in a wheelchair in the future. In fact, he just looks a little ugly when walking.

Because the original owner was cautious, even Zhu Ye, who was waiting beside him, didn't know that his master was not disabled at all.

I have to say that this wheelchair is very suitable for the status of a prince. It is gorgeous yet elegant, elegant yet stable, and it is a little comfortable to sit on.

At least Duan Qing'en was so comfortable sitting on it that he didn't want to get down. He ordered Zhu Ye to push him around the garden, always looking at the servants who saw him coming by the roadside and immediately knelt down to salute.

The first step to changing the status quo is to cultivate your own power.

It's too simple.

Especially since this is a vicious feudal society. As a prince, even if he is not favored, the wealth and lives of the servants in the prince's palace will still fall into his hands.

If Duan Qingen wants them to give birth, they can give birth.

Duan Qingen wanted them to die, but they didn't dare to cry before they died for fear that their families would be harmed if they died.

There are still very few servants like Zhu Ye who have a better boss (the emperor) and therefore do not respect him as much as they appear to. After all, for these servants, only when Duan Qingen is well, they will be well. If the prince Duan Qingen is not favored, they, the servants, will not have a good life.

When they came to a pond of lotus flowers in full bloom in the garden, the prince sitting in a wheelchair raised his hand and signaled Zhu Ye to stop.

He raised his chin, pointed at the lotus flowers, pointed to the largest and most beautiful one in the middle and said:

"Come on, someone, go down and pick that flower for me."

Because he did not name anyone, the row of servants kneeling on the roadside were a little confused. They carefully raised their heads and looked at each other. Just as they were hesitating whether to come out, a servant who was sweeping the roadside, wearing gray clothes and thin, and looked like he was only about fifteen or sixteen years old, came out on his knees.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I'll go right away."

He carefully knelt until he was not facing Duan Qingen, then stood up, jumped into the pond, and swam towards the lotus.

When he reached the largest lotus, he stopped, carefully and cherished the lotus, and swam back with one hand.

Although it was not very cold now, there was still some wind. After soaking in the water for a long time and coming out, the boy shivered immediately when the wind blew.

But he didn't care about anything else, so he came to Duan Qingen with his body covered in sweat and carefully protecting the lotus.

Seeing this, Zhu Ye hurriedly stepped forward, and before the boy came to Duan Qingen, he took the lotus that he was holding carefully with one hand, and whispered: "How dare you get close to the prince when you are so dirty, why don't you retreat quickly."

The boy was young and didn't understand that Zhu Ye did this because he didn't want to stand out, so he stood there stupidly and didn't dare to move forward.

Duan Qingen watched from afar, and saw the lotus that the boy had picked with great effort being brought over by Zhu Ye.

Zhu Ye was full of respect, and carefully handed the lotus to Duan Qingen: "Prince, the lotus you wanted."

This respectful look really made people say that he was not loyal.

Duan Qingen stretched out his hand and took the lotus. The boy had protected it very well along the way, and it was not stained with mud. When he held it in his hand, the color was very beautiful.

Zhu Ye bent over with a respectful face, and sure enough, he heard the prince sitting in the wheelchair hum and praised softly: "Not bad."

He raised his eyes, looked at Zhu Ye and smiled lightly, and said in a gentle tone: "You are worthy of following me for more than ten years, and you are really dedicated to your work."

As soon as these words came out, the servants who were kneeling on the ground were envious.

Some even looked up at Zhu Ye with envy. After all, the prince was their heaven in the palace. To be praised by the prince for being dedicated was absolutely the highest respect for the servants in the palace.

But Zhu Ye, who was envied by them, was not in a good mood.

Although Duan Qingen was not very famous in the capital, anyone with some connections in the court knew that he was just a prince, but no matter how unpopular he was, he was still a prince.

When the previous emperor was alive, as the eldest brother, he must not treat his younger brother harshly on the surface. When the previous emperor passed away and the current emperor succeeded to the throne, he must not treat him harshly. After all, he was an elder. Even if he looked down on him, he still had to give him what he should give on the surface.

The prince had a lot of annual salary, plus the farmland and grain store he was given before, which was definitely better than the officials in the court.

Of course, as a prince who was not favored by the emperor, he was definitely not as good as other royal relatives, otherwise the original heroine would not have disliked him so much in the previous life.

But Zhu Ye didn't know all this. He only knew that the prince was always generous. Every time he completed a task, he would give him a lot of gold and silver. Over the years, he also used this gold and silver to buy houses and land and marry concubines, even though he was a eunuch.

Now, Duan Qingen spoke to him in a gentle tone, praising him a lot, but did not mention the reward at all. Zhu Ye was depressed but did not dare to show it on his face. He could only smile stiffly: "I just did my duty."

"Well, call that kid."

Zhu Ye's smile became more stiff, and he said carefully: "My lord, but he is dirty..."

"It doesn't matter, he is in such a mess for me." Duan Qingen still looked good-tempered. He was not angry because he did not do what he said immediately, but continued to say in a good tone: "He reminds me of when you first came to me. You were also so loyal. Whatever I want, you can get it for me even if you go through fire and water."

Zhu Ye looked a little proud when he heard him say this.

The reason why he could stand out from Duan Qingen was not only because he was sent by the Supreme Emperor, but also because of his "loyalty" in the early stage.

Zhu Ye was feeling proud here, and didn't notice the look of the kneeling man next to him.

Before, he had a lot of prestige among the servants because he was a capable man beside the prince, but now it was clear that he had taken the credit of that boy, and the prince praised him and said he was loyal, and he looked proud, which made the servants who saw the whole process think.

That boy was fine, he didn't know what happened, and he bowed properly when he was called forward.

Duan Qingen saw his silly look, laughed, and asked softly: "What's your name?"

"Slave, slave Dexi."

"Dexi, a good name."

Duan Qingen asked again: "Are you willing to serve by my side?"

The boy looked like he had been hit by a pie. He was stunned for half a minute before he reacted before Zhu Ye kicked him in displeasure. He quickly kowtowed with joy: "Yes, yes, I am willing, slave." I am willing to stay with the prince."

Zhu Ye frowned and looked critically at Dexi who was kneeling on the ground: "Your Majesty, is this boy too young? If you want someone new, I'm here..."

"No need."

Duan Qingen still pretended that he hadn't heard what he said, which was already considered a transgression, and just sat in the wheelchair and said: "It's just him. It's hard to find a loyal servant like you. No matter how young you are, you have been raised by your side since you were a child, and you are more mature." Know how to be grateful.”

As he spoke, he raised his chin again: "Dexi, you will stay with me from now on. If you perform well in picking flowers, you will be given five taels of gold."

Five taels? ! ! ! !

Zhu Ye's face changed with jealousy, but Duan Qing'en didn't think he was uncomfortable enough. He looked at him and added with a smile: "I should have given it to you originally, but I know that you are not serving me for these mundane things, so give it to me." I'm looking down on you by giving you this."

As soon as these words came out, more jealous eyes fell on Zhu Ye.

He is so virtuous and capable. He is obviously a villain who takes credit from others, but he is so valued by the prince.

Zhu Ye, who didn't notice the eyes of others at all: "..."

Heartache to the point of suffocation.

He just does it for these vulgar things! ! !
