surnamed Wang

Chapter 36
The two chatted one after another. In fact, it was mainly Wang Gangquan who was chatting. It may be that there was no one around him who could talk to him for a long time. Today, Wang Gangquan behaved extraordinarily free and easy. Stories, let’s just talk about some unknown secret events in the palace. Pan Ziqian on the side broke out in a cold sweat. He looked around from time to time, for fear that the walls have ears. silence.

After two long and painful hours, the Eighth Highness finally calmed down because the meal was ready.

Once again, Wang Gangquan took Pan Shizi to the living room for dinner.He also has a purpose in doing this. This Shizi Pan has not been a fuel-efficient lamp since his grandfather's generation. If he simply wants to make friends, he doesn't mind making a wealthy friend, but if the other party is here to test him, then don't blame him for being a bad person.

As soon as Wang Gingquan went up, he poured a bowl full of wine for Pan Shizi, muttering, "If you don't get drunk tonight, you won't go home."

Pan Ziqian quickly waved his hand and said that Prince Pan would not let him drink, Wang Gingquan didn't care about this, and said directly: "If you don't drink, you will look down on me."

The prince had no choice but to take a sip, but Wang Gangquan quit and stared:

"You keep fish here, my brother will give you a sample first!"

As he said, he raised his head and gurgled, it was a bowl.

Shizi was also a little embarrassed, so he had to follow suit and bite the bullet and drank a bowl.

After drinking a bowl of wine, Pan Shizi's fair face immediately turned red. Wang Gangquan thought that it seemed that he really couldn't handle alcohol. Since this was the case, he didn't intend to force others to make things difficult for him, so he said:

"Well, Brother Pan, you can eat more food if you can't drink."

Unexpectedly, after drinking, Pan Ziqian seemed to be a different person. He completely lost the elegance and easy-going before.

"Who do you look down on? Do you believe I drank you under the table today?"

The before and after comparison is simply stark difference.

Wang Gangquan used to go out to drink often, and met all kinds of people. This person in front of him should belong to the one who is usually reserved and unrestrained after drinking. He couldn't help being lit and slapped the table.

"Fart, whoever can't drink today is the grandson!"

Then the two of them didn't use the bowls, and directly picked up the wine jar and drank it.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, Wang Gingquan also got drunk, he purposely suppressed his cultivation tonight, so that he could get drunk like a normal person, after all, it has been a long time since a thousand cups have been poured, and it has become boring instead.

"Brother Pan, can I still drink?"

The two had already drank shoulder to shoulder.

"It's early."

"Brother Pan is huge! Such a large amount, why did you not drink it when you were asked to drink it at the beginning?"

"Last year, on my grandfather's [-]th birthday, he drank so much that he molested a maid in front of the guests. Then my father hung him up and beat him for an hour, and warned me not to drink alcohol in the future."

"Brother Pan is awesome!" Wang Gangquan couldn't help giving a thumbs up.

"Hi, little meaning."

After drinking, the two chatted more and more speculatively. Wang Gangquan gradually chatted about how he was assassinated and how dark the palace was.

Unexpectedly, Pan Ziqian curled his lips and said, "It's terrible for the prince to seize the heir, but our Pan family won't lose to you in the slightest."

"How to say?"

"If you seize power and lose, at least you can still be a prince, but if we lose, we will have nothing. My brothers will not waste food to support idlers. Those who fail will definitely be kicked out, even worse than servants. "

"Your father doesn't care?" Wang Gingquan was a little surprised, he didn't expect the water to be so deep in a small palace.

"What the hell! His own title was all obtained by fighting for it. My two uncles died outside in the end, and they didn't make it into the ancestral hall, so he is happy to watch us fight."

"Then your father is cruel enough."

"No, I didn't want to fight at first, but I couldn't keep the other brothers from fighting there. One joined the First Prince's sect, and the other became the Second Highness' guest servant. When it comes to me, there is nothing left."

"So you came to see me?"

Pan Ziqian nodded.Wang Gangquan was a little bit dumbfounded, co-authoring himself was picking the rest, which became that kind of helpless choice.

"It's not all." The son's words brought Wang Gangquan some expectations.

"At least you are better than that fourth prince who only knows how to go shopping in brothels."

After hearing this, Wang Gingquan wished he could die with the prince in front of him.

The prince glanced at Wang Bingquan, his expression suddenly became serious, "I have a question, can you tell me the truth?"

"What's the problem?" Wang Gangquan was alarmed.

"Did you organize that sensational auction in the capital?"

Wang Gangquan's heart skipped a beat, how did this kid know?But he remained calm on the surface.

"Why do you ask?"

"Because I don't want to lose too badly, I still want to struggle."

Pan Ziqian stared into Wang Pingquan's eyes, while Wang Pingquan smiled dumbly.

"I can tell you, but you have to tell how you know."

"Then you admit it?"

"Of course, who else has such great ability except Lao Tzu!"

Wang Gangquan saw the sincerity and firmness in the other party's eyes, so he decided to admit, yes, no one wants to lose, including himself, and he doesn't want to be a fish to be slaughtered on the knife board.

Pan Ziqian's expression suddenly relaxed.

"Hahaha, now it seems that I still have hope."

The two laughed loudly at the same time and toasted together. This time they drank more sincerely than before. Wang Gangquan sighed secretly, it seemed that he still needed a friend.

There was a lot of tea and wine in the house, and there were jokes and laughter from time to time. Wang Gangquan found out through the conversation that, as the emperor said, he did too rough in the Liulichang matter, and those who are interested can find out about him.

After drinking until the third watch, both of them were drunk, one fell under the table and the other lay on the bed.

The next morning, when the sun was high, the person on the bed woke up slowly, opened his eyes in a daze and looked around, no matter how unfamiliar he looked, he only remembered that after drinking a bowl of wine yesterday, he couldn’t remember anything, and at this time Looking inside the room, there are already messy cups and plates on the table, and more than a dozen wine jars scattered on the ground.

"Hey……"

The crown prince sighed, it seemed that he was drunk again, he only remembered that he drank a lot with His Highness the Eighth Prince yesterday and chatted with him, but he can't remember exactly what they talked about.I hope this time I won't lose my morals after drinking like before, otherwise if I offend His Highness the Eighth Prince, it will be more than just being hanged and beaten for an hour.

Just as he was thinking, the door opened with a "squeak", and Wang Gingquan came in from outside with a basin of water, and when he looked up, he saw Pan Ziqian who had woken up.

"Brother Pan is awake? Do you still remember what happened last night?"

Wang Gangquan looked at Pan Ziqian with a half-smile.

Pan Ziqian was a little scared by the look, but he couldn't think of anything when he tried hard to recall.Wang Gangquan stared at his expression, guessing in his heart that the other party probably forgot.

So he threw the water basin on the shelf and splashed a splash of water.

"Damn ghost, it's a pity that you said nicely yesterday that you would treat others well, so they handed over this body to you!"

"what?"

Thousands of alpacas rushed past Pan Ziqian's heart at this time.who I am?where am I?What did I do?
Looking at Wang Gangquan's expression, it was clearly shy and angry, and Pan Ziqian's heart grew colder the more he looked at it.

"I regard Brother Pan as a confidant, but I never thought that Brother Pan is as good as Long Yang!"

Looking at Pan Ziqian at this time, cold sweat came down his forehead. He is said to be a serious gentleman, and he likes women with delicate bodies, but he did do shocking things when he was drunk before, but he also flirted It's still a girl, could it be that he really...he didn't dare to think about it last night.

But just when he raised his head to ask further what happened, he found that His Highness the Eighth Prince had a sinister smile on his face, and he immediately realized that he had been tricked.

"Humph!"

Flicking his sleeves, Pan Ziqian walked out without looking back.

"Brother Pan, forgive me, it's just a joke."

Shizi still ignored him and walked out on his own.

In this way, one of the two walked ahead with an angry face, while the other kept apologizing like a pug.

Seeing that the other party ignored him, Wang Gangquan didn't make fun of himself.It wasn't until Pan Ziqian walked to the door that Wang Bingquan shouted a word from afar.

"The guest officer often comes to play when he is free!"

Pan Ziqian staggered and almost fell to his death on the knee-high threshold.

Watching Shizi Pan leave, the smile on Wang Gingquan's face gradually faded away. Although the other party's words were sincere last night and the two talked happily, Wang Gingquan would not easily listen to his one-sided words, nor would he relax his guard because of this. Pan Ziqian He would verify everything he said one by one. If the other party did not lie to him, then it would be fine to make friends with him, but if there was something wrong in his heart, then... Thinking of this moment, Wang Gangquan narrowed his eyes, and a haze flashed in his eyes.

Obtaining information is easy to say, but difficult to do, especially the inside story of this kind of rich and powerful, and it will not be easily disclosed to outsiders.Therefore, Wang Gangquan decided to choose the most direct method - to ask the person concerned, and this person was naturally his father.

It was night, Wang Bingquan entered the palace, different from before, this time Wang Bingquan specially took a food box, and happened to meet Zou Shun who was on duty at the gate of the palace, so he went in without any effort.

Gently pinching the door of the old Taoist imperial study room, Wang Bingquan knocked softly on the door, and the emperor's voice came from inside the room:

"Who?"

"Father, it's me."

... The emperor obviously didn't expect that, firstly, it was too late, and secondly, the way of knocking on the door was wrong. Never did Wang Gangquan come like a bandit entering the village, so he was so careful this time, there must be fraud, and the emperor couldn't help but become vigilant.

"It's so late, what's the matter?"

"Here comes the food for you."

"..."

The room was silent for a long time, and finally a long sigh came out, "Come in."

The three words "come in" seem simple, but they are actually the result of a complicated psychological game.

After all, every time Wang Gingquan comes, there will be no good things. The matter of Concubine Hua has been investigated before, and it is indeed as Wang Gingquan said.

Since then, the emperor simply stopped summoning Wang Gingquan. Even if he asked for a meeting, he would hide as much as he could. For the sake of being an emperor, it can be said that he is quite useless.Agreeing him to come in now is also planning for the worst.

After Wang Gangquan entered, he closed the door obediently, with a playful smile on his face.

"It's so late, father is still busy, take care of the dragon body!"

"What's the matter?" The emperor's face was serious, obviously ready to wake up.

"Father is wise, my son wants to inquire about something."

"Well, sit down."

As the place where the emperor usually reviewed memorials, the Imperial Study Room, in addition to several large cabinets of books and a desk, also has a dragon couch, that is, a sitting bed, for resting.

Wang Gangquan put the food box on the coffee table above the dragon couch, and then took out plates of delicate meals from it, and the whole room was filled with aromas, the emperor didn't feel hungry at first, but his stomach could not help but growl when he smelled it .

"Father, please!"

Wang Gingquan spread out two futons, and made a "please" gesture to the emperor who got up and came.

The emperor looked at him suspiciously, wondering why this kid has changed his sex, could it be that he stuffed a needle in the futon?Sitting down carefully, he found that nothing happened, so he picked up the bowl and chopsticks with peace of mind, and started to eat.

"How does it taste?"

Wang Gangquan asked from the side, his eyes full of hope.

"Well, not bad, what did you do?"

The emperor ate the dishes made by the imperial chef all day long. After decades of eating, even if it was delicious, he wanted to change his taste. Now he was eating the dishes brought by Wang Gingquan, which really had a special flavor.

"No, the chef in the house made it. I just want to show off. I specially dug out the master chef in Piaoxianglou!"

"Oh... huh?"

The emperor didn't realize it at first, but after careful consideration, he realized something was wrong. Piaoxianglou was not a restaurant, but a brothel.

"What's the matter, Father, is there something wrong?" Wang Gangquan seemed to have discovered the New World, and asked quickly.

"It's okay." The emperor replied indifferently, he didn't want this guy to get caught.

"Oh..." Wang Gangquan was obviously a little disappointed.

"If you say the cook has to be from Zuixinglou, the food there is simply..." Wang Gangquan couldn't help but slam his lips when he said this, needless to say, this is also a brothel.

Looking at the emperor again, it was as if he hadn't heard it, and continued to bow his head to cook. Seeing that the other party didn't follow suit, Wang Binquan had to change the subject and start talking about business.

"By the way, father, the son came here this time to inquire about the Anbei Palace."

The emperor also finished eating at this time, wiped his mouth and asked: "Is someone looking for you in Prince Pan's Mansion?"

"Father is really wise, you are..."

"Almost done!"

Seeing that Wang Gangquan was about to fart again, the emperor hurriedly stopped him, and continued to ask, "Who is it?"

"Pan Ziqian."

The emperor nodded when he heard the words, "Every generation of the Pan family is more or less related to the struggle for the throne. You must know the relationship between Pan Yuanzheng and Zhen. Father didn't tell me much about Old General Pan back then, but I guess the situation It's about the same, I don't know the younger generation of the Pan family very well, but I can still tell you about Pan Yuanzheng, as for the others, you can judge for yourself."

Wang Gangquan nodded when he heard the words, and listened to the emperor talking about the past.

An hour later, the emperor took a sip of the cold tea, indicating that he had finished speaking, while Wang Bingquan was thoughtful.

"Okay, you go back, I'm tired tonight too."

"Yes, Father."

Just when Wang Gingquan was about to leave, the emperor stopped him and said, "Brothers have always been at odds with each other in the Gaomen compound, and there are also cases of brotherhood. Ever since Pan Yuanzheng became the head of the family, he intentionally or unintentionally instilled this idea in his children. You can't be too serious about being a human being, it doesn't matter whether the son of the Pan family is sincerely friends or is forced by the situation, as long as he can assist you wholeheartedly, it is not a bad thing for you."

"Your subjects are taught!" Wang Gingquan gave a rare salute to the emperor, then turned and left.

After leaving the gate of the imperial study, Wang Qingquan suddenly became enlightened.When he came here, he was still a little worried, worried that no one around him was sincere, and worried that everyone who came into contact with him had a heart for the city.Now it seems that these are not important, but mediocre.Since he was born in the royal family, how can he expect to be sincere.
