After the game, Xiao Hong asked the prince and Xiao Diyuan to follow him to the Tianyuan Palace. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Entering the Tianyuan Palace, Xiao Hong said to the second prince Xiao Diyuan with a smile: "Yuan'er won the game this time, I am very happy and proud of you, I have decided to give you one from the city I won this time, what do you think?"
When he won the last big competition, Xiao Hong gave Xiao Diyuan a small island. At that time, Xiao Hong gave Xiao Diyuan a total of three small islands to choose from, and Xiao Diyuan chose Flying Fish Island, which is located at the junction of the Kingdom of Yu and Shuguo.
This time, Xiao Diyuan won again, and Xiao Hong felt that giving him an island was no longer enough to express his happiness and generosity, so he decided to give him a city.
Anyway, as long as Xiao Diyuan makes persistent efforts and continues to win the big competition for Shuguo, what if he gives him a city? Besides, even if it is given to him, that city still belongs to him Xiao Hong, but he just gives Xiao Diyuan the right to use it, if Xiao Diyuan does something that can't stop him one day, he will still unceremoniously take back that city.
However, although Xiao Hong didn't mind giving Xiao Diyuan a city, he knew that the Empress Liu would definitely mind, so he deliberately only told the two of them.
Although he had harshly criticized the Liu family before the big competition, it was also because the Liu family and the crown prince had asked for it too unwisely at the time, and he immediately went to apologize to the Liu family afterwards.
After all, he was still a little afraid of the Liu family. This woman was silent, but she was sincere to him, and had been with him through the most difficult years, and he could not help but want to be kind to her just when he thought of their past, although he sometimes could not help but slander her for being better to the prince than he was.
Hearing Xiao Hong's words, Prince Xiao Dikai's face changed greatly, but he finally took back the words that came to his mouth.
After all, Xiao Diyuan answered 25 questions correctly for Shuguo alone this time (the other 6 questions were answered correctly by other players in Shuguo), and in the face of such results, Xiao Dikai only had admiration. Xiao Di was not stupid, and he knew that he had better not say anything to stop him at this time, otherwise it would only increase Xiao Hong's dissatisfaction with him.
Knowing that Xiao Hong was going to give a city to himself, Xiao Diyuan immediately knelt down and thanked him: "Thank you father for the gift!" and continued: "Father, my son has a small request. ”
Xiao Hong smiled: "You say." ”
Xiao Diyuan looked at Xiao Hong and said respectfully: "Father, can the sons choose to come from the city ceded by the Zhao Kingdom?"
"Which one they cede is still undecided. Xiao Di answered coldly.
Xiao Diyuan glanced at his brother and said, "It's okay, you can take any seat." ”
"Why only Zhaoguo's?" Xiao Hong asked as he stared at Xiao Diyuan's face.
"It's nothing, it's just that I prefer the land to the south. Xiao Diyuan replied calmly, and then added: "The climate in the south is good, which is more conducive to farming, and it can increase China's grain income at that time." ”
Xiao Hong laughed when he heard this: "Well, it makes sense." ”
Xiao Diyuan then knelt down again to thank him.
Because he was too tired, Xiao Diyuan said again: "That kid retired first." ”
He wanted to go back and rest so that he could be refreshed during the dinner.
Xiao Hong waved his hand happily and said, "Go ahead, take a good rest." ”
As soon as Xiao Diyuan left, Xiao Dikai immediately sat upright.
Xiao Hong glanced at Xiao Di with his afterglow, and said in a deep voice: "The gap between you and your brother has become farther and farther, if you don't work harder, then not only the father and mother, but even the civil and military officials will be biased towards electing your younger brother to inherit the throne." ”
Xiao Di knelt down and said, "Erchen will definitely do his best to improve himself, but Father, do you have room for the child to display his talents?"
"What's the matter, you're still not convinced?" Xiao Hong asked coldly.
"Erchen doesn't dare, but Erchen really hasn't gotten the opportunity to display his talents, hasn't he?" Xiao Di said unwillingly.
Xiao Hong leaned closer to him and asked in a cold voice, "Have you ever thought about why I did this?" Have you ever thought about the fact that even if I give you some opportunities, you may not be able to complete them?"
The anger immediately made Xiao Dikai's face cold and ugly, and he forced Xiao Hong to look at him and said: "You think that Erchen can't complete it every time, but have you ever given Erchen a chance? Don't even give him a chance, you think Erchen can't do it, don't you think your approach is too impersonal and unreasonable?"
Before Xiao Hong could answer, Xiao Dikai continued: "My brother and I have no resemblance in personality or appearance, and there is no telepathy between me and him, which has to make Erchen suspect that he and he are not born of the same mother. ”
He wanted to say this for a long time, but every time he held back at the last moment, and now, he couldn't help but say it for a while, extremely angry.
With a "snap", Xiao Hong slapped him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Is it born from the same mother, will I and your queen mother not know?"
"But why does the queen mother dislike him so much? If he is his own child, why is the queen mother so angry every time she meets him?"
"Didn't you ask your queen mother about this?"
Of course, the son asked, but the queen mother didn't say anything. However, the more she didn't say anything, the more suspicious her son became. ”
Xiao Hong's expression suddenly softened, and he said softly: "You don't have to doubt this matter, you and Yuan'er are definitely brothers, absolutely." After that, he lowered his voice and said, "Just imagine, your queen mother gave birth to the two of you in the palace, and there are so many people in the palace watching, can you still fake? If you still don't believe it, you can go to the stable woman who delivered you back then to find out about the situation at that time." ”
Xiao Di suddenly had nothing to say, so he had to say: "Since my father said so, my son's ministers will also ..... There's not much more to say. ”
However, this did not make him less suspicious.
However, since Xiao Hong had never doubted it, what was the use of him doubting it alone? Xiao Dikai had no choice but to continue to bury those doubts buried in his heart.
Xiao Hong saw that he didn't bother with these things anymore, so he said: "Since you want to behave so much, I will give you a chance to perform from today onwards, but I warn you that if you mess things up, no matter how big or small the impact is, I will never spare you." ”
Although Xiao Dikai was dissatisfied with his words, he thought that since he was willing to give him a chance to temper, he didn't dare to continue to talk back, so he immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, father!"
"Let's go back. Xiao Hong waved his hand.
I don't know why, every time Xiao Di complains to him, he feels very annoyed, sighing how this son's personality is like a woman, whenever at this time, Xiao Hong unconsciously compares the prince with the second prince, and his heart will naturally be biased towards the second prince.
Indeed, Xiao Diyuan is a person who never complains in front of him and can always do things beyond his imagination, how can he hate such a person?
