Because Xiao Diyuan perfectly solved the problem of troublemaking among the ethnic minorities in the Northern Regions, Xiao Hong was very happy and held a celebration banquet immediately after Xiao Diyuan and his party arrived in Beijing.

This is a national celebration, so some people in the capital also celebrated in their own way after learning about it, and Xiao Diyuan's prestige among the people instantly rose a lot.

At the celebration banquet, Xiao Hong said with a smile: "Yuan'er, I am very happy that you have a lot of things this time, I will not only reward you, but also give you a month off, you can play wherever you want, as long as you come back on time in a month." ”

Xiao Diyuan raised his glass and paused.

Seeing that April is coming soon, April is the day when Emperor Zhaoguo visits, what is Xiao Hong's intention?

A few years ago, whenever Xiao Hong went to Zhaoguo for a friendly visit, he refused to take him with him, and he already had a lot of questions in his heart, and this time he ......

Obviously, Xiao Hong didn't plan to inform him about Emperor Zhaoguo's visit, but fortunately, someone had already secretly told him the news before.

Xiao Diyuan did not express his position immediately.

"You've worked so hard all these years, and now that you've made great achievements, it's time to go out and relax. Xiao Hong said again.

Xiao Diyuan smiled and replied respectfully: "Erchen has seen the great rivers and mountains of Shu Kingdom in the past few months, and now he wants to read and study well." ”

Wen Zheng somewhat guessed Xiao Hong's intentions, and replied respectfully: "His Royal Highness was worried about the capital half a month ago, and now that he has just returned, there must be many books to read and things to deal with, so Weichen also implores His Majesty to allow him to stay in the capital for a while." ”

Feeling that the latter words seemed a little inappropriate, Wen Zheng hurriedly added: "Maybe this month's holiday will be postponed by a few months, what do you think, Your Majesty?"

Xiao Hong wanted to have a seizure, but in the end he held back and said with a smile: "You know His Royal Highness very well." ”

Wen Zheng hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, Weichen is just ...... Let's just tell the truth. ”

Xiao Diyuan followed Wen Zheng's words and said to Xiao Hong: "Master Wen is right, Erchen has just returned to Beijing, and he wants to make up for the study tasks that have been missed in the past six months, so I implore Your Majesty to postpone the vacation." ”

This is a private matter of the Heavenly Family, and the other ministers dare not say anything. Although some ministers wanted to help Xiao Diyuan say a few words, they were afraid of offending Xiao Hong, so they didn't say anything.

Xiao Dikai, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke: "Second brother, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future, now that there is nothing in the court that you need to worry about, it is better to take this opportunity to spend a good vacation." ”

The two brothers seemed to be about to tear each other apart again, and the ministers hurried to eat with their heads bowed like turtles, not daring to show that they were paying too much attention to their conversation.

Xiao Hong drank all the liquor in the cup, looked at Xiao Diyuan and smiled, "Yuan'er really doesn't want to go?"

Knowing that this would offend Xiao Hong, Xiao Diyuan still nodded.

Xiao Hong's face sank suddenly, and then he smiled again: "Okay, okay, since you don't want to, then don't rest." ”

"Yes. Xiao Diyuan replied, and there was no trace of turbulence on his face.

Prince Xiao Di's face turned pale with anger, and he glanced at Xiao Hong very dissatisfied.

When the ministers saw that the matter was settled, they dared to raise their heads.

Xiao Diyuan said goodbye and went back to the room after dinner, and did not stay to watch the play with everyone.

When he returned to his familiar room, he immediately went to look at the two potted plants placed in front of the windowsill, and saw that the plants planted in them were vibrant, so he went to bathe with confidence.

Before leaving for the northwest, he solemnly instructed a father-in-law to help him take care of the two potted plants and the big banyan tree in the imperial garden.

Immediately after bathing, he went to the Imperial Garden to see his big banyan tree.

As soon as he walked under the big banyan tree, he felt something strange, hurriedly stopped, and said coldly: "Who." ”

A person jumped from the big banyan tree, saluted Xiao Diyuan, and said, "The slave Zhao Baomu has seen the Second Highness. He added: "I heard that His Royal Highness recruited the person who often made trouble in the Northern Regions, and His Royal Highness is really clever in his methods!"

Xiao Diyuan looked at him fixedly.

Zhao Baomu had a smile on his face.

Xiao Diyuan always felt that Zhao Baomu had some background, so he said angrily: "Why do you always come to play on this tree in the palace?"

"It's a fun place, and when the slave is in a bad mood, he climbs up the branch and looks out, and he has no troubles. ”

Xiao Diyuan sat down next to the trunk under the tree and said, "Didn't your family members all die in the fire? Who are you worried about?"

Speaking of this, Xiao Diyuan suddenly asked as if he had thought of something: "Since you have lived in Zhaoguo for decades, you should have a lot of feelings for Zhaoguo, right?"

Zhao Baomu hurriedly said: "Back to the Second Highness, this is natural. ”

Xiao Diyuan looked at him with blazing eyes, and only after a long time did he say, "Do you still want to go back to Zhaoguo?"

Zhao Baomu was stunned for a moment and did not answer immediately.

He wasn't too worried when other people asked him this, but when Xiao Diyuan asked this, he was worried that he would see the flaw.

He is Zhou Rong, the secretary of the Dali Temple of Zhaoguo, who was ordered by Li Pei, the emperor of Zhaoguo, to come to Shuguo to investigate Xiao Diyuan's true identity.

However, no matter how plausible the inference is, it doesn't count without evidence, so he has been painstakingly searching for evidence.

What did Xiao Diyuan mean by asking? He couldn't guess for a while.

"Why did His Royal Highness ask that?" Zhao Baomu asked with a smile.

"I'm just curious," Xiao Diyuan replied calmly, "based on my observation of you, you don't look like someone who would be willing to give up your country." With your cleverness, you don't have to worry about finding an errand to do in Zhaoguo, why did you come all the way here?"

Zhao Baomu smiled slightly, and said calmly: "You may not believe what the slave said - the slave doesn't want to stay in Zhaoguo because the slave's family died there, and that place is sad for the slave, so the slave left." ”

"Really?" Xiao Diyuan glanced at him and said, "You are unwilling to face the reality, if you really want to let go, you can only face it first and accept it." ”

Zhao Baomu asked, "Does His Royal Highness want the servants to return to Zhaoguo?"

"From your point of view, that's what I think. ”

"The slave will go back, but not now, when the slave is older, then he will go back when he has some savings on hand. Zhao Baomu said.

Xiao Diyuan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly turned his head.

Zhao Baomu cautiously sat down opposite Xiao Diyuan and said, "Second Highness, do you want a servant to show you your fortune this year?"
