Chapter 164: Cardinals
"Oh, Erchen remembers. Xiao Zhengtai nodded very obediently, broke free from Concubine Qi's palm, and bowed to Xiao Yichen to the end: "Xiao Jiu Xie Third Brother helps." ”
"Haha, little tuanzi, hurry up. Xiao Yichen pulled Xiao Zhengtai up, and his starry eyes turned to Concubine Qi and said: "Niangniang is naturally Xiao Jiu's blessing, but this king and him are also blood brothers, so there is no need to see each other like this." Otherwise, in the long run, brotherhood will turn into grievances and hatreds, which will be very bad. What do you say, mother?"
"What the Third Highness said is very true, and the concubines are in love. Concubine Qi immediately responded softly, without arguing at all.
Seeing that Yu Xiaoxiang was becoming more and more strange now, she secretly pulled Xing'er, retreated to a distance, and pressed the tip of her ear and asked, "Sister Xing'er, they are all mothers in the palace, right?
"Huh?" glanced at Yu Xiaoxiang strangely, and Xing'er asked puzzledly: "This is not very normal, they are ministers and concubines, what are they called concubines?"
"Ah, aren't they supposed to be His Highness's little ladies or something?" Yu Xiaoxiang became more and more strange.
"Little lady, Your Highness is a sister-in-law, how can there be a little lady. Xing'er was stunned, and no one paid attention to him, so he posted it to Yu Xiaoxiang's ear and said, "Didn't I tell you before that the empire revalues ancient rites." Even in ordinary large families, there is only one master mother in the family, and the children born to the master mother are the sons-in-law. And the children born to the concubine do not even have the right to inherit the title. This is especially true of the royal family, the descendants are the 'kings', and the rest are 'ministers'. Seriously calculated, the current empire only has the queen mother, the holy monarch, the eldest princess, His Royal Highness the Prince, and our Royal Highness, plus the crown princess who married the royal concubine, and the concubine of our Royal Highness in the future, can be regarded as a 'king', and even the eldest princess's concubine can't take her turn. Even if the Holy Monarch is succeeded in the future, it will not be counted. Therefore, in front of His Royal Highness, they naturally want to call their concubines. ”
After listening to Xing'er's words, Yu Xiaoxiang understood why Xiao Yichen had no scruples when he beat Xiao Jingchen before, and even if the latter was full of resentment, he didn't even have the courage to complain, and at this moment he could only drink alcohol at the distant seat.
It was only at this time that the little girl gradually began to understand that in the high-class empire, there were insurmountable moats in the palaces under the rules of etiquette.
At this moment, Xiao Yichen didn't have the heart to think about what the girls were discussing, and when he saw his younger brothers and sisters reunited, he was obviously in a very good mood. Holding Xiao Zhengtai's tender little hand, he walked up to a few younger brothers, patted the eighth Xiao Zhukai on the shoulder and said, "Little Ba, I heard that your 'full moon' was damaged last time, and I was sad for a long time, right?"
"No, it's just a pity. Hehe, a rare good knife, but I ruined it. With some honest smiles, Xiao Zhukai seemed to feel a little pity.
"You like knives, this king has collected very few knives, and famous knives have long been distributed to others. You're in luck this time, though. When I went back to the town guard in southern Xinjiang, I happened to meet a knife seller, saying that he was selling a family heirloom knife. The tattered ones couldn't see anything good at all, and as a result, they were ridiculed by passers-by. The king was curious for a moment, so he took a look at it and found that it was the legendary 'cardinal'. Speaking of this, Xiao Yichen turned his head with a smile and beckoned to Fu Lin, and the chief steward, who had always been by his side, immediately untied the cloth belt he was holding in his hand and pulled out a short weapon wrapped in cloth.
Tearing off the cloth bag casually, revealing the silver-white scabbard in it, Xiao Yichen stuffed it into the hand of Xiao Zhukai, who was already wide-eyed, and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to match a good scabbard, but unfortunately I couldn't find the best material, so I had to use this silver yellow steel to make a beat." If you're interested, take it yourself and get a more suitable one. ”
"Silver yellow steel is a forging method that has been lost, use one piece less than one, is this still not good?" Xiao Weigeng immediately jumped over, looked at the slightly emitting silver scabbard with an obsessive face, and said to Xiao Zhukai flatteringly: "Xiaoba, why don't you give me the scabbard." ”
"Go, go, Seventh Brother, you really want everything. Hurriedly pinched the knife in his hand, dodged Xiao Weigeng's big hand, looked at Xiao Yichen and said, "Third brother, I really bothered you." ”
"It's okay, it's also your luck that you were bumped into by this king by chance. Xiao Yichen smiled and waved his hand, folded the fan and pointed at the treasure knife more than three feet long and said, "Try it, see if it fits." ”
"Good. Xiao Zhukai, who was itching, immediately clenched the handle of the knife and pulled it out instantly.
The people who had already gathered over originally wanted to see what was magical, but they didn't expect that as soon as the blade came out, it was lusterless, and there were even a few gaps in the blade.
"Third brother, is this the legendary indestructible cardinal sword?" Xiao Feixing felt that his third brother had been deceived.
Smiled without caring at all, Xiao Yichen smiled and said: "The tip of the knife points to a place where no one is, enter some star spiritual power to try, don't have too much." ”
"Oh. Nodding very obediently, Xiao Zhukai pointed the tattered long knife at the open space that everyone had left behind, and after slightly inputting a trace of star spiritual power, suddenly the knife body glowed with a crimson light like a flame, as if it had ignited the grease on it, making the entire long knife burn. And the tattered blade of the knife was as smooth as jade, and the flames on it were more like they were about to rush out from the tip of the knife and hit the stubborn enemy!
"I'm going to go! I almost burned my clothes!" Xiao Feixing, who was close to him, jumped twice in a row to dodge, causing everyone to laugh.
"Fourth brother's ass is going to burn. "I like to watch the lively little Zhengtai the most, and the eyebrows and eyes are crooked and the applause is bouncing.
"Little thing, you still dare to gloat, see how I clean you up. Xiao Feixing instantly pounced on Xiao Zhengtai, causing the giggling little guy to immediately go to his summoned beast third brother for help.
Stretching out his hand to protect Xiao Zhengtai, he waved the folding fan to draw away Xiao Feixing, Xiao Yichen said to Xiao Zhukai, who was still obsessed with staring at the blade: "Little Ba, take away the star spiritual power." Remember, as long as you input more than the star spirit power of the double realm, you can let the sword qi out, and attack the enemy up to several meters away, and in the future, as your realm increases, the power will be even greater. When using it, be careful, and don't hurt yourself with a weapon that is too sharp. ”
"Good. "Take back the star spiritual power, so that the long knife will not return to a tattered appearance, Xiao Zhukai thought about it and handed the knife to Xiao Yichen, and said with some reluctance: "Third brother, this is too precious, is it a waste in my hands, or is it ......"
"Things are dead things, value is secondary, and the main thing is that you like it. If you don't like it, give it back to me. Xiao Yichen smiled and patted Lao Ba's shoulder, and blocked his words back.
