Chapter 148 The Maids in the Palace Are on Strike (18)
Shen Fanli pushed the box back, "Your Majesty, I can't accept it."
Song Liaoye's body suddenly froze, and he pushed it in front of the man again, "Why can't you take it back?"
Shen Fanli pushed it back and said, "It's against the rules."
"Rules, rules, you keep talking about rules all day long," Song Liaoye walked back and forth beside Shen Fanli. He walked back and forth twice before stopping. He leaned over to look at Shen Fanli and said in a deep voice, "Shen Fanli, you must remember that you must do what the king says. If I tell you to accept it, you must accept it. How dare you disobey my order?"
Shen Fanli responded to Song Liaoye with a calm voice: "I dare not."
After finishing speaking, Shen Fanli knelt down to express his gratitude.
Song Liaoye was so angry when he saw people like this.
Without waiting for anyone to kneel down, he pulled the person up and said, "Don't salute, Shen Fanli, don't salute me!" Song Liaoye emphasized again, "Don't salute me! This is an order!"
Shen Fanli responded in a low voice, "Yes."
Song Liaoye was fine when he came, but left in a rage.
He couldn't possibly lose his temper with Shen Fanli, so he had to go to the martial arts training ground to find someone to practice a few moves with...
When the guards at the training ground saw Prince Qi’s sudden arrival and his dark face, they knew that the prince was having a quarrel with Miss Shen.
Every time they had a quarrel, Prince Qi would come to the martial arts training ground to fight.
The guards were beaten so hard that they suffered terribly.
The prince hasn't come in the past six months. Yesterday, I was still talking about when the prince would have a quarrel with Miss Shen and come to the martial arts training ground.
Some say one month, some guess half a year, and some say three months.
There happened to be someone on the stage guessing tomorrow's fortune. When he saw King Qi coming, he immediately slapped himself on the mouth, calling him a pessimist.
......
After practicing for a few rounds, Song Liaoye looked at the people rolling on the ground with bitter faces, and before leaving, he said, "Gao Yu, let them practice more later. They are too weak."
Gao Yu was indeed somewhat confused, but he still raised his voice and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
It’s not that the guards in the palace are not good at fighting, but that Song Liaoye is a martial artist.
His father was a military general, and he grew up in the military camp and went to the battlefield several times.
Later, he was summoned back to the capital by the emperor to celebrate his victory. Later, Song Liaoye and his mother stayed in Shangjing together.
The emperor was most afraid of a general who was more powerful than him and held military power. Naturally, Song Liaoye's father was also feared by the emperor for a time.
Therefore, Song Liaoye and his mother were essentially shackles left in Shangjing.
It makes people dare not have second thoughts.
Since ancient times, emperors have been the most suspicious. They are high and mighty, have many wives and concubines, but are lonely and don’t even have anyone to talk to.
The empress and relatives of the emperor must be guarded against, the military generals must also be suspicious, both kindness and force must be used, and the forces within the court must be checked and balanced.
A kind person cannot command an army, a righteous person cannot do business, and a benevolent person cannot govern the country.
The heart of an emperor is the most unpredictable...

After Song Liaoye left the martial arts training ground, he was going to take a shower. As soon as he walked out of the training ground, someone came to report.
"Your Highness, someone from the Dali Temple, Wen Honglangwen, is here to see you."
Song Liaoye paused and sneered.
Before he could even go looking for trouble, trouble came to him.
"Let him wait."
After saying this, Song Liaoye left.
I've worked up a sweat, so I have to take a shower first.
Wen Honglang was sitting in the main hall. He had changed the hot tea on the table three times, but His Royal Highness Prince Qi still hadn't arrived.
He asked the maid who was serving him tea not far away, "Does Prince Qi have anything to do today?"
He stood up and said, "If the prince has something important to do today, I will not bother you any more."
The maid lowered her head and said, "I don't know, the prince may come soon."
Wen Honglang knew that Prince Qi was a playboy and unreliable, and he didn't expect that he would just leave him here like this.
He happened to be on a day off today and had originally planned to come to King Qi to tell him about his relationship with Miss Shen.
Now that you're here, just wait a little longer.
Wen Honglang thought so.
About half an hour later, Wen Honglang could no longer sit still.
He didn't know whether Prince Qi was not in the palace or had forgotten him.
Either way, he thought, he had to leave.
Even if I don't leave the palace, it would be good if I could meet Miss Shen.
He wanted to ask her why she didn't accept the hairpin he gave her.
If possible, he could also express his true feelings to Miss Shen.
He knew that his family would definitely be very opposed to what was going on between them, but he would do his best to get their agreement.
If he wanted to be with her, he hoped that—
It was a formal marriage.
Of course, this premise is that Miss Shen is also interested in him.
Miss Shen is a maid in Prince Qi's mansion. Sometimes, whatever she wants to do has to depend on Prince Qi's opinion. He came to Prince Qi's mansion just to talk to Prince Qi. If Prince Qi is willing to let Miss Shen go back to Wen Mansion with him, he will definitely prepare a generous gift to thank Prince Qi.
Wen Honglang had not yet thought of another possibility, which was that Prince Qi would not let her leave the house and let her be with someone else.
Just when he stood up again and wanted to find Shen Fanli.
Someone at the door said, "Your Highness."
And the next second, Wen Honglang saw someone.
King Qi was wearing a black robe with dark gold, with a jade pendant hanging around his waist. He walked slowly, his profile was handsome and sharp, his narrow and long phoenix eyes were slightly raised, his eyebrows were full of arrogance, and he had the attitude of a superior who was high and mighty.
After taking a shower, Song Liaoye went to the study. Suddenly he remembered that there was someone else in the main hall, so he came over slowly.
After seeing the person, Wen Honglang knelt down and saluted, "Your humble servant pays respect to His Royal Highness Prince Qi."
Song Liaoye walked past the crowd, then sat at the top, and the maid poured him a cup of tea.
He took a sip of tea, as if he had just seen someone, and said nonchalantly, "Master Wen, please stand up. I wonder what business it is that you are in Prince Qi's mansion?"
Wen Honglang didn't think much about it, as Prince Qi has always been like this.
There were even worse cases during court sessions, when people were so angry that they were speechless and wished they could be buried in the ground.
"Your Majesty, I do have a favor to ask."
Wen Honglang glanced at Song Liaoye, who was playing with the cup, and continued, "I have been in love with a maid in the palace for a long time. I wonder if Your Majesty can give her up. I will prepare a generous gift to thank Your Majesty."
"Yes, I will marry her and treat her well..."
In response to Wen Honglang's sound, there was the sound of a cup being crushed.
When Wen Honglang opened his mouth to say the first word, Song Liaoye's hand holding the cup became tighter and tighter. When she heard someone say that he wanted to marry her, she squeezed the cup tightly in her hand.
The cup also broke and fell to the ground, making a sound.
Wen Honglang was also forced to remain silent.
