Chapter 22 The proud prince Bai Sheng of the spring breeze

The twelve princes who are in the limelight are about to feast guests.

More than half of the officials of the DPRK and China have received invitations. The people also discussed this matter, and for a while, Bai Sheng became the focus of the most attention, both in the court and among the people.

"Our twelfth brother is really good, and in just a few days, he has solved the problem of the officials. In the study of the four princes, the six princes said indignantly.

"That's the ability of the twelfth brother," the fourth prince leisurely studied the chess game in his hand, and said, "You should also learn." ”

"Learn from him?" the sixth prince was very disdainful, "Learn from him, learn from him with those fox eyes, and when you see one hooking one, I can't wait for the women in the world to be infatuated with him." The expression of the sixth prince seemed to know that the boudoir girl whose sweetheart was constantly peachy, resentful and jealous, almost bit the handkerchief.

The fourth prince laughed out loud, and he couldn't stand the chess game anymore, so he simply put it aside: "What fox eyes, the twelfth brother obviously gave birth to two phoenix eyes, clear and spiritual, and the photo book says that having such eyes is a natural rich appearance." ”

"What is the fourth brother praising him for? He is still born with a rich appearance, which of our princes is not born with a rich appearance?" The sixth prince was not convinced.

The fourth prince shook his head and got down to business: "The twelfth brother's errand this time is really beautiful, the promotion of officials under the four grades in charge of the ministry, the eldest brother and the third emperor brother both want to cultivate their own manpower, and they are fighting for it, the official department Shangshu is an old fox who is used to playing Tai Chi, so he simply called himself sick and left a mess to the newly appointed official servant, he is not familiar with the regulations of the ministry, and he can't find a suitable reason to shirk, and he doesn't dare to offend the two princes, and he is so anxious that he is like an ant on the hot pot." ”

"Isn't it, I saw a big bubble at the corner of his mouth a few days ago, and it must have been a great headache. The sixth prince couldn't help but laugh when he remembered the appearance of the servant of the ministry grinning as soon as he spoke, but after thinking about it, he was not happy again, "Isn't it clear that my father handed over such an important matter to the old twelve, doesn't it make it clear to give him the opportunity to support his own power?"

"The sixth brother, whether the twelfth brother has a "sudden illness" or something else, you and I both know, and my father naturally knows it. But it's been a year since this incident, and the twelfth brother is now back alive and well, do you see that my father has the slightest intention of wanting to investigate?" the fourth prince picked up his pen and began to draw on the paper.

"What does the fourth brother mean?" the sixth prince asked uncertainly.

This proves that his father also knows that this matter cannot be done by any of his sons, whether it is because of the relationship between father and son or the face of the royal family, he does not want to pursue it further. But after all, the twelfth brother suffered a lot, and almost lost his life, they are all their own sons, and it is not good to be thick after all, so they should always be compensated. The fourth prince said without raising his head.

"He suffered? Didn't he come back alive in the end, why don't you say that he picked up a big bargain?" the sixth prince said angrily, "I got an unspeakably expensive quasi-princess, and most of Helian's family belonged to him, and that yellow-haired girl didn't know that she had never gotten so many rare treasures to buy for him, and she couldn't buy them even if she had money." I really don't know what kind of luck he had. ”

The pen in the hand of the fourth prince paused slightly, and continued to draw: "The twelfth brother has returned from his illness this time, such a great happy event, as a brother, he should be happy for him." I prepared a big gift for my brother and the twelfth brother, and I must have liked it very much according to the previous temperament of the twelfth brother, but I heard that the Helian woman has always been arrogant and capricious, I am afraid that this gift will make the future twelve brothers and sisters unhappy. ”

"What is the fourth brother planning to give him?" the sixth prince was very curious.

The fourth prince put down the last stroke, picked up the painting, and said with a smile: "Sixth brother, come and see." ”

The sixth prince looked at it carefully, and for a moment, he smiled like a gentleman: "It's really a big gift." If this is sent, the little woman who keeps Helian's family will make a lot of trouble. At that time, I'll see how the old twelve ends. ”

"But the fourth brother, the old twelve are used to demagoguery, and earlier there were a few official ladies who fought on the street for him regardless of his face, and they didn't also coax him in a few words, but afterwards they were still infatuated with him. If this Helian girl also asked him to take care of it, this good show would not have been seen. The sixth prince said worriedly.

"The sixth brother is not in a hurry, in order to be safe, he naturally has a backup move for his brother. The fourth prince whispered to the sixth prince. The sixth prince laughed when he heard this: "Wonderful, wonderful, the fourth brother's trick is really high, but any woman can't stand it, tsk, fourth brother, you are so bad." The six princes smiled a little lewdly.

"The sixth brother has won the award," the fourth prince smiled modestly, "Brother Wei just can't bear to see an innocent woman fall into the sea of misery, and he has the heart to pull her." ”

"Fourth brother, I really like your well-dressed beastly appearance. The sixth prince's eyes lit up excitedly, "If you lose the help of the Helian family, the old twelve will not be afraid." ”

"Sixth brother, you should read more, idioms are not used indiscriminately. ”

On the painting on the side, a charming woman in half-disconnected clothes has spring in her eyebrows and eyes, full of wind and dust.

On the day of the banquet, Bai Sheng, who was standing at the gate of the mansion to greet the guests, was in a somewhat complicated mood, and he couldn't remember the scene of moving into the mansion more than a year ago. Was there a crowd of guests like this day that day? Have you ever received a mountain of gifts? Is there also a person who always stands by her side like Helian Yanran? Bai Sheng looked at the girl beside him, it was rare that she no longer wore her usual deep clothes, "long coat with ties, wide sleeves and acacia Confucian", dignified and beautiful, looking like a girl of her age. The figure was straight and firm, as if the wind and rain could not make it retreat half a step. Somewhere in Bai Sheng's heart suddenly became a little soft, he took Helian Yanran's hand, and the corners of his lips raised slightly: "Yanran is extremely moving today." ”

His Highness praised it. Helian Yanran replied without changing his face.

Bai Sheng lowered his head, leaned close to her ear, and said, "Don't lie to you, it's really good-looking." ”

After getting along for a long time, Helian Yanran knew that he was in a happy mood at the moment. His Highness the Twelfth usually likes to tease her when she is in a good mood. Helian Yanran moved to the side as usual, and Bai Sheng also moved.

"Your Highness is welcoming guests at this time. Helian Yanran glanced at him and reminded.

"Don't be afraid, we crossed the road in front of our father, they don't dare to laugh. Bai Sheng grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

As he was talking, someone came to the palace, and Bai Sheng smiled and stepped back an inch, holding her hand to greet her. Although the emperor did not come in person, he sent Fujiu, the chief supervisor of the palace, to bring an edict and a reward, which fully reflected the importance of this lost and recovered son. Chief Fu announced the emperor's edict in public, to the effect that he hoped that everyone who came to the banquet would have a good time, and the most important thing was to make the twelve princes happy.
