On this day, the weather was just right, the blue sky was spotless, a few swallows fluttered in front of the eaves, flew into the distance, because it was May, a little heat gradually rose in the air, and the sun's rays fell on the vermilion wall, which made it more red and scorching.

From a distance, you can see a few people approaching, the surrounding palace people rushed forward to salute respectfully, Huai Wang Xiao Kang raised his head condescendingly, and did not look at those people, only high-spirited, looking quite proud to leave.

When he saw the brilliant golden light falling on the red wall and golden tiles, and the palace pavilions in the distance towering, Xiao Kang's eyes lit up slightly, and the corners of his lips hooked up a determined and confident smile.

"Liaodong is casual, but in the end it can't compare to my Daxing palace. ”

Pei Rong, the personal attendant on the side, of course understood the meaning of Xiao Kang's words, followed Xiao Kang's gaze, and couldn't help lowering his voice and laughing: "Seeing that the prince is going to go with the army again, His Majesty only summoned the prince to go alone, which shows the weight of this, and the slave and maid congratulate the prince." ”

When Xiao Kang heard this, a trace of arrogance flashed in his eyes, and looking at the majestic palace buildings in front of him, he seemed to have a little bit of ambition to win.

Just when he was about to take off his robe and stride towards the Qianqing Palace, he suddenly saw a group of figures not far away who were walking towards the gate of the first palace, Xiao Kang couldn't help but pause, only to see the breeze blowing, the apricot pink skirt fluttered up, and the girls were all twenty-eight years old, like clusters of delicate flowers that had just bloomed on the branches, adding a bit of liveliness to this solemn and solemn palace.

"This is the lady selected this year?" (Note: It is equivalent to the show girl of the Qing Dynasty. ）

Hearing Xiao Kang's question, Pei Rong immediately bowed his head and said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, exactly." ”

When the chief attendant who led the lady in the distance saw Xiao Kang, the king of Huai, who was standing not far away, he immediately ordered everyone to pause, and then quickly stepped forward, and saluted with a flattering smile on his face: "The slave and maid ask for peace to the prince of Huai." ”

There was a faint "um" from above, and the waiter got up cautiously, then glanced at the lady who stopped there behind him, and hurriedly said: "Ladies and gentlemen, come and see Lord Huai." ”

When all the ladies heard this, they hurriedly walked over, and bowed cautiously, their faces flushed, but they were inevitably nervous.

Seeing the group of warblers and Yanyan in front of him, Xiao Kang smiled slightly in his eyes, and then said, "Get up." ”

As soon as the ladies got up, they heard the people in front of them: "Raise your head." ”

As soon as the words fell, the chief waiter was slightly stunned, but seeing that this was said by Xiao Kang, he didn't dare to question it, only to see the ladies below glance at each other, as if they were a little hesitant.

"Can't you hear the words of the prince?"

"Don't dare. ”

Seeing that the attendant beside Xiao Kang scolded him, the ladies hurriedly bowed down, and then carefully raised their heads.

Xiao Kang glanced over, his eyes moved slightly, and then he lowered his eyes and said, "Go ahead." ”

The ladies were slightly stunned, and walked away according to Xiao Kang's wishes, seeing that the chief waiter was about to leave, but he was called by Xiao Kang, and when he was stunned, he heard Xiao Kang in front of him say: "Which family's daughter is the leader?" ”

The chief attendant was shocked when he heard this, and almost understood the meaning of the prince of the heavenly family beside him, and hurriedly trembled: "Back to the prince, that lady was selected by the governor of Zhejiang, I heard that she was only from an ordinary family, but because she is famous for her beauty, it has reached the ears of His Majesty. ”

Hearing the deliberate reminder of the waiter, Xiao Kang's eyes flashed with a trace of coldness and hesitation, but he still turned flat, smiled, and the corners of his lips hooked up with a playful taste: "What about the lady at the end." ”

The chief attendant followed Xiao Kang's gradually gloomy gaze and saw a charming and beautiful girl, I have to say that the vision of King Huai in front of him is really unique, and he caught a glimpse of the two most beautiful women in this group of ladies at a glance.

I pity him, my back is cold, but I still have to laugh and say: "Back to the prince, that lady is the daughter of the master of Zhuji County." ”

Xiao Kang nodded thoughtfully when he heard this, and looked at the waiter unhurriedly: "I heard that the concubine selection system in the palace is strict and needs to be screened layer by layer, and it is common to be afraid of losing the election." ”

When the waiter heard this, his brain exploded, and his body became more and more trembling, but he didn't dare to reply easily, Xiao Kang raised his head with disdain on the corner of his lips, and walked forward.

The chamberlain hurriedly wanted to salute, but he heard Xiao Kang's voice intriguingly falling on his ears.

"This king thinks that all the people in this palace are smart people, after all, only smart people live long. ”

As soon as the words fell, the waiter's cold sweat flowed down from the corners of his forehead, but he only saw the corners of the robe in the distance, and King Huai didn't even give him time to think, so he had already lifted the robe, leaving him there alone, and his mind was in chaos.

When there was no one on the road, only the sun shot straight down, and the attendant looked at his shadow falling to the ground, so he trembled and raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and looked up at the dazzling sun, but he couldn't detect a trace of heat.

Whether to do it or not to do it is a fatal matter, and partiality is spread on him like this, this is the life of being a slave.

Under the sun, the chamberlain got up tremblingly, his legs were weak and he almost fell down again, so he could only hunch his waist and hold on to the wall, and walked towards the palace gate step by step.

……

When Xiao Kang, who was not in a good mood, came to the inner garden of the harem, Pei Rong beside him followed step by step, cautiously looking at Xiao Kang's gloomy face, and became more and more afraid to speak easily, but at this moment, he saw a familiar figure, and hurriedly lowered his voice and reminded: "Lord Wang." ”

Xiao Kang frowned unhappily when he heard this, but he saw Xiao Yan who was gradually approaching not far away, and his eyes were a little colder, but he strode towards his ninth brother.

"Second brother. ”

Seeing the weak young man in front of him, Xiao Kang had a trace of ridicule and disdain in his eyes, and he didn't even bother to hold his hand, he only straightened his back and said in a stiff tone: "Get up." ”

"Ninth brother, where are you going?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan was polite and polite, and said with a warm smile: "The queen mother has been unwell these days, and Yan is going to visit Kunning Palace. ”

Xiao Kang looked at the ninth brother in front of him, obviously he was in May, but he was still wearing a cloak, and his white and tender face was not as hard as those who had been fighting for a long time, and he didn't need to look too much to know what kind of vulnerable body was under the cloak, and he spoke gently and gently, looking like a woman who could fall when the wind blew.

Thinking of this, the corners of Xiao Kang's lips could not hide his disdain, and the smile in his eyes was a little more sarcastic.

"The ninth brother is really a filial son, when his father was in danger, he dared to use your body to resist the black bear, and now he is still weak, and he has to go so far to visit the queen's mother, no wonder his father likes it so much, he was crowned King Luo at a young age, but let me, the second brother, have to obey. ”

Hearing the sarcasm in Xiao Kang's words, Xiao Yan's face did not change at all, and he still smiled humbly: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve, the second brother has made great achievements in battle, and he is busy on the field, but Yan is an idler. ”

After hearing this, Xiao Kang's eyes fluttered slightly, and he glanced at Xiao Yan in front of him condescendingly: "The ninth brother is quite self-aware. ”

Seeing that the young man's bloody lips floated into a humble smile, Xiao Kang didn't bother to say anything to the sick man in front of him, so he sneered and warned: "That being said, the ninth brother also has to be careful of his own body, after all, the hair crown on this head is a little heavier, don't crush your body." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Kang didn't bother to take a look, and walked past Xiao Yan with a step, and the moment he passed by, because of the great strength, he knocked Xiao Yan away a few points, and Xi De next to him was busy holding it carefully, but Xiao Yan waved his hand indifferently, and the corners of his lips hooked up a flat smile.

Xiao Kang felt angry when he thought about it, he had been fighting for so many years, and he was able to be crowned the king of nineteen years under his great achievements, that Xiao Yan was just a weak sick man, he had no power to restrain the chicken, and he did not have the slightest credit, but the blind cat ran into a dead mouse and saved the second driver, so he was crowned king by his father, how can he be convinced?

That kid is just as disgusting as Donggong.

Pei Rong beside him seemed to see something, and said cautiously: "Although King Luo has been crowned king, His Royal Highness has also been crowned king, not to mention that the prince has repeatedly performed miraculous feats on the battlefield of Liaodong this time, and has been awarded the title of General Wuhou of Right by His Majesty, and now among the three armies, except for General Guo, it is the prince whose prestige is the highest." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Kang glanced sideways at Pei Rong beside him, and the resentment in his heart gradually dissipated a lot, so the corners of his lips hooked up and said, "You can speak." ”

Indeed, seeing that his prestige in the army is growing, why should he take a little sick man in his eyes.

In the future, except for the East Palace, the whole world is his, and it is rare that he can't clean up this useless ninth brother?
