Xiao Zhe gradually put away his smile and said to Xiao Yizheng, "Liulang, you go to Liuying Spring to get a pot of spring water, you are a little thirsty after walking for a long time, and you want to drink some spring water, you are good, don't let those servants go, you go yourself." ”

Xiao Yizheng was slightly stunned, then looked at Su Meng, who seemed to be still uneasy, said yes, and turned to walk away.

Xiao Zhe waved his hand, Guo Rui retreated with a group of attendants, leaving only Su Meng in the pavilion.

Su Meng was beating a drum in her heart, knowing that His Majesty the Emperor was too obviously branching out from King Heng, she must have something to ask herself, could it be that last night's incident was revealed? But shouldn't Xiao Yizheng be the first person he asked? Although she didn't show any panic on her face, the silk handkerchief in her hand still trembled slightly.

Xiao Zhe's gaze froze when it fell on her silk handkerchief, her complexion was instantly covered with a layer of complicated feelings, the corners of her mouth moved, and she took her eyes away for a long time.

"Tell me, what impression did you make of King Heng that you heard from the storytellers?"

Qingxi didn't expect that what she was waiting for in a hurry turned out to be such a question, she looked up in astonishment, and subconsciously glanced at the emperor. Although Xiao Zhe's words were majestic, his face looked warm and a little unpredictable. "His Royal Highness King Heng is not like an ordinary prince who follows the rules. She could have given a discretionary answer, but now she blurted out this sentence, and after saying that, she regretted wanting to pinch herself twice.

She closed her eyes and opened them again, but saw a smile on the corner of Xiao Zhe's mouth. She was even more puzzled and paused for a moment. What is the situation? The emperor doesn't seem to be annoyed, but why is this smile coming about?

"You and that kid from the Zeng family can be regarded as childhood sweethearts?"

"Huh?" Qingxi was stunned by the question, and blurted out a question, what is the situation? She hurriedly blinked her eyes a few times before she opened her mouth and replied, "Your Majesty asked Zeng Qidao, Brother Zeng?"

"Yes. ”

"Although it doesn't count, we have known each other for a long time and have our own friendship. ”

"What kind of affection?"

"Like a brother. ”

"What do you think if I make a decree to marry you?"

"Huh?" Qingxi's shock was at its peak, why did this emperor think of this? What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?" "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right?"

"Oh, why not, you don't want to?"

"Your Majesty's marriage is an honor. However, if it is possible, Su Meng still wants to make her own decisions. She said and hurriedly knelt down.

The emperor didn't speak for a long time, and saw that Xiao Yizheng was hurrying towards him in the distance, and then he said softly, "I hope you can always maintain this innocence and honesty." ”

Su Meng opened the door and saw Shen Tong standing at the door, slightly stunned. Shen Tong greeted him with a smile, "Su Meng thought it was a joke, but I didn't expect it to be true." ”

Qingxi looked confused, only to see that after she ordered her entourage to wait outside the door, she entered the door alone, and continued, "Said that you went back last night and got lost, and met King Heng, so I sent you to Su Meng to rest again?" Shen Tong looked at her as if she was ignorant and didn't wake up, and privately thought that she was embarrassed to be lost, so she relieved, "Don't worry, Su Meng and the people around her know that the people around Su Meng will not talk nonsense, and they will not let you lose face because of getting lost!" The prince didn't come back last night, Su Meng woke up early, and when he woke up, he heard that the sixth emperor brother had come last night, saying that he had come to apologize in person, and his prince brother was drunk and couldn't come back. ”

Qingxi only realized at this time that the rhetoric arranged by the Sixth Highness was to arrange her as a cowardly and stupid person, but she couldn't refute it yet.

"Su Meng is quite surprised, you actually cry your nose because you are lost?" Shen Tong frowned slightly, as if teasing.

She quickly put away her resentment, bowed her head and said, "It's still thanks to His Royal Highness King Heng." She really didn't want to deceive Shen Tong, so she could only be so vague. "Sister Tong, Su Meng saw that Su Meng and the others would better hurry back. ”

Shen Tong thought that she was really embarrassed, so she didn't ask more about this matter, and said gently, "It's still early, Su Meng will eat something first." Later, Su Meng will go to the queen mother to say goodbye, and then send you back. ”

Qingxi nodded, but he was really in no mood for breakfast. She bit her lip, locked her eyebrows and asked, "King Heng, he seems to have a good relationship with the crown prince's brother?"

Shen Tong's hand moving his chopsticks paused, and then he looked at Qingxi with a smile, "What's the matter?"

This sentence made Qingxi stunned, she really didn't mean that!

"Heng'er, King Heng is not a good match!" Shen Tong said leisurely.

King Heng is not a good match. This sentence is the second time that Shen Tong has mentioned it.

"What does Su Meng mean by that? It's just that the deeds of His Royal Highness King Heng, Su Meng has heard a lot in Meijinglou, and it is normal to be a little curious!" She pulled away her smile and said calmly.

"Oh, just listen to those deeds. Shen Tong thought about it for a while, thinking that the king of Heng in the storyteller's mouth was probably the person in the dreams of countless girls. "Do you know his background?" Shen Tong's face became solemn.

Qingxi's eyes froze, she knew a little about King Heng's life experience.

Hengwang Xiao Yizheng's biological mother is Queen Xiaoyi. Empress Xiaoyi's life is also quite mysterious and legendary. She has never set foot in the palace, but she is the love of the current emperor Xiao Zhe in his life. Her background is unknown, her name is unknown, although everyone has their own speculations, but most of them dare not talk about it. What I know exactly is that Xiao Zhe, who was still the crown prince back then, went to Jiangnan and brought her back. Since then, she has been the heart of the suave crown prince. And the crown princess at that time was the current queen Yuan. Later, Xiao Zhe became the emperor, but it is very strange that this beautiful woman did not enter the palace and was not entitled, but has been living in a large courtyard on the outskirts of Shangdu, called the Heart Garden. This house has now been given to King Heng. Although he was busy with government affairs, the emperor still worked tirelessly to visit her every once in a while. The officials in the court and China complained about it, just as the emperor's connivance with King Heng today made them unhappy, but the emperor's attitude on these two matters was unusually tough. In the sixth year of Yongning, this beautiful woman died of incense, and the emperor was grief-stricken, and he tried his best to posthumously crown her as Empress Xiaoyi. After the death of his biological mother, King Heng was taken back to the palace by the emperor and taught him personally, and the queen cared for him in his daily life.

"The crown prince once warned Su Meng that King Heng's biological mother was a taboo in the palace. Since her death, no one has dared to mention it lightly. It is said that she abandoned her parents and followed her father back to Shangdu, which is what the folk call elopement. But if you think about it, what kind of identity did my father have back then, he was the crown prince, and why did he make such a fuss that he eloped? There must be a story in this. And although King Heng is favored by the saint, such a life experience will be somewhat embarrassing. ”

"What else do you say?" Qingxi frowned slightly.

"Su Meng said to listen to you, because of the friendship of Su Meng, out of this door, you can't spread it. ”
