Every World Seems Not Quite Right Chapter 46 Part1

The Regent Who Is In A Cold War

“Young lady, how can you say these kinds of shameless words?” These words sounded criticizing, but the pampering in his tone was unable to be concealed.

His daughter really had a good sense of judgement. She only went out once, yet she already took a fancy to the current regent. If previously, he had been considering letting his daughter enter the palace, then now, that idea didn’t exist anymore.

What use was there to enter the palace? The little Emperor was merely a puppet in the regent’s hands, how could he have any power? Right now, this imperial court was in the hands of the regent, as long as they curried favour with the regent, then they could soar.

“I’ll return these words to Daddy,” Hong Lian Er pouted, shaking Hong Ru Feng’s s.h.i.+rt, “Daddy, others also want that person.”

“Okay, okay, okay.” Hong Ru Feng couldn’t withstand his daughter acting like a spoiled child the most. He was also unable to cover up the smile on his face. “Good daughter, your sight is good. That person is the court’s most powerful person.”

When Hong Lian Er heard that, she became even more anxious. “Daddy, have you found that official?”

“Who are you calling official? That person is the regent,” Hong Ru Feng cupped his fists towards the sky, “If you are able to become his wife, won’t you be more respected than the Empress?”

Hong Lian Er had originally admired Helian Jing Qi, and now, when she heard her father’s words, she became even more firm in her decision to marry the regent, “Daddy, that…… that, how……”

“Tomorrow, Daddy will feel out the regent’s mood.” Hong Ru Feng patted his daughter’s back and spoke dotingly, “My obedient daughter has a pure soul and good looks, when His Highness, the Prince regent sees you, he’ll definitely be fond of you.”

These words of Hong Ru Feng hadn’t even sounded for a few moments, before the regent that he was speaking of directly brought people and charged into the Hong residence. When the gatehouse saw the stance of the regent, how could they dare block him? They could only follow behind him, face beaded with sweat.

The father and daughter pair was currently speaking on how to marry into the regent’s Prince residence. And on this side, the regent had already led his bodyguards into their home.

When Hong Ru Feng saw the regent bearing down menacingly on him, he really got a shock. He hurriedly put down his daughter in his embrace, kneeling on the ground as he gave his greetings, “This official pays respect to Your Highness, the Prince regent.”

“Come men, tie her up for Benw.a.n.g.” Since he came here to start a fight, he didn’t have any words to day. The regent didn’t even look at the kneeling Hong Ru Feng, immediately getting people to seize Hong Lian Er who was standing at the side and staring at him in a trance.

“Your Highness, this…… what is the meaning of this?” When Hong Ru Feng saw what was happening, he became extremely anxious. He knelt on the ground, hugging his daughter, not understanding as he asked, “w.a.n.gye knows my daughter?”

His daughter had only gone out two to three days ago, other than that, she always stayed at home, but looking at the regent’s appearance, that wasn’t quite right?

“Hong daren, your daughter is really good,” the regent laughed coldly, “Plotting to murder a relative of the Emperor. Releasing horses to commit a.s.sault. Acting like an overlord. Just with these few things, Hong daren, do you think anyone can be left behind in your Hong residence?”

Once Hong Ru Feng heard this, could he still express his dissatisfaction? A single evidence on plotting to murder a relative of the Emperor could already let his Hong residence be executed to the third generation. He released his daughter in his embrace, hastily kneeling onto the floor and speaking in a trembling voice, “w.a.n.g…… w.a.n.gye, this…… this, is there a misunderstanding? My daughter usually stays within this residence, and doesn’t step out of the inner gate, how can…… how can she plot to murder the Emperor’s relative?”

“Misunderstanding?” the regent sneered coldly, “Why don’t you ask your precious daughter what good deed she did today?”

He was aware that his daughter had gone out today, but after his daughter arrived home, she went to his location. The imperial bodyguard that went along with her also didn’t have anything unusual to report. Could it be…… in the one to two hours his daughter went out, she had managed to provoke a disaster?

Thinking to here, Hong Ru Feng really felt hatred in his heart. Normally, he always spoiled this daughter, one reason was because she was his youngest child, and the other reason was because her mother was his most favoured concubine.

In the end, he never expected that this daughter that he doted on to no ends, had provoked a person who absolutely mustn’t be provoked.

“Wis.h.i.+ng His Highness, the Prince regent to be fine.” It was unknown whether Hong Lian Er was still young, or her eyes were too small. Even a person without eyes would be able to tell that the circ.u.mstances right now wasn’t right, yet she could actually tenderly saluted the regent with a red face.

“I didn’t die under Lady Hong’s carriage, Benw.a.n.g is really fine,” the regent was unwilling to speak to these two people anymore, “Seize this girl.”

When Hong Ru Feng heard the regent’s words, only then did he notice that his clothes was somewhat dirty. Normally, the regent paid attention to his appearance the most, yet right now, he went out with this kind of appearance……

Right now, it seemed like Hong Lian Er, this vile creature, had really provoked a great disaster in such a short time.

If earlier, it could be said that he had a good dream about seeking connections with the regent, then now, he was thinking about how he could protect this life of his.

“Your Majesty, the Prince regent……” Hong Ru Feng wanted to plead, but who would’ve known that the regent ordered his people to bring away Hong Lian Er, who was crying and kicking up a fuss non-stop, basically not giving him any opportunity to plead.

Hong Ru Feng’s lips trembled as he sat paralysed on the floor. Over, everything was over.

Shao Qian woke up from his sleep and saw his regent watching him unblinkingly, he sat up and reached out with both arms, “Change Zhen’s clothes.”

“As you command.” The regent kissed the corner of the little Emperor’s mouth and carried him up, and when changing his clothes, he merely helped him wear a set of innerwear. Afterward, afraid that he would catch a cold, the regent fastened a cloak around him.

“The person who let the horses run is free?” According to this person’s natural disposition, during the time when he was sleeping, he would have definitely already resolved the matter.

“Imperial Uncle already handled it, Xuan-er doesn’t need to worry about this trivial matter.” The regent wasn’t willing to let this miscellaneous matter dirty his treasure’s ears.

Shao Qian nodded his head and didn’t ask anymore. After a while, someone sent a bowl of calming broth, Shao Qian drank a mouthful of it and held it in his mouth, before pa.s.sing it into the regent’s mouth.

At first, the regent was surprised before he held the little Emperor’s head, and sucked at the medicine in his mouth.

When he released him, Shao Qian felt that his mouth was quickly becoming numb.

“Imperial Uncle will feed you.” The regent followed his example, also drinking a mouthful and pa.s.sing it into Shao Qian’s mouth. The two people drank a bowl of medicine together in this way.

Although the regent was unwilling to let the little Emperor know of these matters, but eventually, he still had to.

After all, a highest court official was corrupt and taking bribes, the whole household being punished, killing the wife and favoured concubine by beheading them in public, if he didn’t know about this kind of large matters, then there would be some problems.

In his heart, Shao Qian understood the reason why these people were being beheaded, so he didn’t have any other opinions on this matter.

Three years later, the repair of the South’s river course was finally finished, and the South’s river was successfully led to the Northeast. Not only did this resolve the South’s flood, but it also ended the Northwest’s drought.

The little Emperor who was already fifteen years old, sat upright on the imperial throne, seriously listening to the reports of the two men, Song and Li, who had already returned back to the court. After the two men reported the matter, Shao Qian smiled and spoke in a loud and clear voice, “Both daren did not fall short of expectations, you are promoted by three levels. As for silver…… Silver, let’s forget it. Zhen’s national treasury has been emptied over this three years.”

“Your Majesty, your servant doesn’t dare to want any silver.” Right now, Li Huan was comparably tanner than before, and his body had also become much more robust. Before he came to the court, he had fixed up his appearance, changing into a clean and tidy court dress and having a face full of sideburns and stubble as he reported back, “Your Majesty went this far to solve the North and South’s peril, your servant was able to share Your Majesty’s burdens, and was able to help the commoners, that is already the best reward.”

“Your Majesty, your servant also agrees.” Song Lu was still as good with his words, however he was undoubtedly thinner than before. That year, when he wore the court dress, it still appeared to fit him, but now, it looked like it was somewhat loose.

“Both of you have provided outstanding services.” Shao Qian pointed at Song Lu first and spoke, “That year, Zhen remembers that Song daren had some belly.”

Song Lu immediately went red in the face at the Emperor’s words, however, he had also become tanned by not little, so even if his face was red, others wouldn’t be able to see it clearly. “Your Majesty has a good memory.”

“As for Li daren,” Shao Qian laughed as he looked Li Huan up and down, “Li daren is even more robust than before, if it wasn’t known that you are a civil official, Zhen would have thought you to be a military official.”

“Your Highness is joking,” Li Huan had a happy expression as he cupped his fist before his chest, “Your servant feels that it isn’t bad.”

“Your Majesty, the two daren must be fatigued from their long journey, if you would like to talk about the old times, how about setting up a celebration banquet two days later?” Seeing the three people talking and laughing together, the regent wasn’t happy. His little Emperor hadn’t paid attention to him for three days already due to certain matters, and now, he was laughing with these two people, really unpleasant to look at.

“Yes, Yes.” These two men naturally didn’t dare to go against the regent’s words. Upon hearing him speaking, they cupped their fist to their chests and retreated to one side.

Seeing his behaviour, Shao Qian threw him a scornful look. This person, ever since he found out about his wet dreams, he started molesting him non-stop. And a few days ago, he reached for a yard after getting an inch, and pressed him onto the Emperor’s bed……

If it wasn’t for his quick reaction, this pervert might have had his way with him. He neglected him for three days and he still had a small tantrum, it looks like he still needed to he trained.

The poor regent, he originally wanted to eliminate that existing feeling, but he didn’t expect that he would once again be misunderstood by his little Emperor. The cold war lengthened for an indefinite duration.

After court, the regent who thought he had successfully eliminated the existing feeling, gladly and diligently followed behind His Majesty. It was to the extent that Xi Fu who was by Shao Qian’s side, couldn’t help but look at him time after time. Why did he feel that ever since the court finished, the regent seemed to be floating?

“Xi Fu, Zhen is tired, and will rest.” Shao Qian walked halfway before suddenly turning his head and walking towards his sleeping quarters.
