Chapter 820: Uneasy
Xiao Zhang passed the test smoothly, and the thirteen princes naturally would not be troubled again, because only the crown prince wanted to attack the thirteen princes, and Huang Guozhong even thought of using the thirteen princes to restrain the prince.
The thirteenth prince glanced at Huang Guozhong, who had fainted on the ground, and immediately shouted at the guards guarding the city: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Hurry up and help the prime minister to see the imperial doctor! ”
Immediately, several soldiers ran over and carried Huang Guozhong into the city.
The thirteenth prince pulled Xiao Cui, followed Xiao Zhang, and asked, "Brother-in-law, are you going to enter the palace now?" ”
"Into the palace?" Hearing this word, Xiao Zhang suddenly felt that this word was very awkward, as if he was going to be a eunuch, "You just entered the palace!" I'm just going to the palace to meet your emperor's father. ”
Listening to Xiao Zhang's words word by word, the thirteen princes were a little puzzled, but they didn't ask, but said a little depressedly: "Actually, I don't want to enter the palace either, the palace is too depressed." ”
"Don't want to enter the palace? So where do you want to go? Xiao Zhang asked with a smile.
The Thirteenth Prince glanced at Xiao Cui, and then said: "I want to travel the world with Xiao Cui, that feeling of freedom and unrestrained is too beautiful to think about." ”
"Wonderful? What a fart! Xiao Zhang poured a basin of cold water on the thirteenth prince, "Do you know how dangerous the world is? Do you know how many eyes and ears the crown prince has on the mainland? Smash it, guy, I'm afraid you haven't enjoyed your freedom, and you'll be killed in a daze. ”
"Humph!" The Thirteenth Prince snorted angrily, "You think I'm a three-year-old child? I have been in Xuanyuan City for so long, not only have I not been killed, but I have also done a great thing for my father. You know, it's the prince's sphere of influence! ”
I didn't expect this kid to be quite tough, Xiao Zhang smiled: "That's because the prince hasn't paid enough attention to you before, to put it bluntly, he is underestimating you." This time you stabbed the prince's hornet's nest, it is estimated that the prince will start to face you squarely, and once the prince is serious, you are afraid that you will be unlucky. ”
The thirteenth prince's small face was full of disbezement, but Xiao Zhang's words were indeed reasonable, he had to snort angrily and play with a child's temper: "I don't care, I don't want to go back to the palace anyway!" ”
"It's up to you whether to go or not, and I'm not your parent." Xiao Zhang said indifferently, "I just suggested that you take a look." ”
After speaking, Xiao Zhang turned around and left, and the thirteen princes couldn't play tricks, so they had to follow: "Anyway, I'm back, I have to go to see my father." ”
Xiao Zhang smiled: "That's right!" After seeing your father, I will stay in the palace for a few more days, and after that, I can recommend a good place for you to go. ”
"A good place to go? What's the best place to go? The Thirteenth Prince's eyes lit up suddenly.
Xiao Zhang smiled and said mysteriously: "It depends on whether you want to be a son-in-law." ”
What a smart person the Thirteenth Prince is, of course he can understand what Xiao Zhang meant, and immediately said excitedly: "You mean, let me go to the wilderness with Xiao Cui?" ”
"It's the Houyi Kingdom." Xiao Cui next to him corrected.
The thirteenth prince didn't have the heart to argue with Xiao Cui, but he just picked up Xiao Cui, kissed her fiercely on that beautiful face, and said: "I have long wanted to go somewhere, there must be a high sky and a high earth, unrestrained, free, and beautiful to think about!" ”
Xiao Cui pouted and said, "Do you have any other words?" ”
Xiao Zhang didn't want to get involved in the affairs of this little couple anymore, so he quickened his pace and walked towards the imperial city, and the thirteenth prince and Xiao Cui also hurriedly followed.
When he arrived at the bottom of the imperial city tower, Xiao Zhang found that a person was already waiting under the city gate. Xiao Zhang saw clearly from a distance that the person was none other than the emperor's personal eunuch, ******** eunuch Wei Zhong.
I don't know why, as soon as he saw this person, Xiao Zhang felt inexplicably uneasy, but he didn't know where this uneasiness came from.
Walking closer, Xiao Zhang bowed and saluted: "Xiao Zhang has seen Father-in-law Wei." ”
Wei Zhong was also very kind, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Xiao Zhang, and his bloated old face smiled into chrysanthemums: "Deputy Head Xiao doesn't need to be polite, the old slave has been waiting here for a long time, Your Majesty has set up a banquet in Qitian Palace, which is a celebration banquet specially prepared for Deputy Head Xiao." ”
Xiao Zhang was very satisfied, but he made a flattered expression on his face, and said, "How can Xiao Zhang?" ”
Wei Zhong said with a smile: "Deputy Head Xiao doesn't have to be polite, you deserve it." ”
At this time, the Thirteenth Prince was a little dissatisfied, and interjected on the side and asked, "What about me?" ”
Wei Zhong looked at the Thirteen Princes and said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty has a decree, please ask His Royal Highness the Thirteenth to return to the palace residence first, and after the celebration banquet is over, Your Majesty will go to see you again." ”
The thirteenth prince was suddenly a little dissatisfied: "Why? Why is my father so partial? You know, this time in Xuanyuan Gate, I have made a great contribution......"
Suddenly, a hand stretched out out of nowhere and covered the mouth of the Thirteen Princes, and then, he and Xiaocui disappeared out of thin air together. Xiao Zhang knew that this should be the secret guard of the imperial court.
Wei Zhong naturally knew it, and the smile on his chrysanthemum-like face remained unchanged: "Deputy Head Xiao, please." ”
The door of Qi Tiandian was open, and hundreds of important ministers of the imperial court were already sitting in the banquet, probably knowing that the heroes had returned, and their faces were full of joy, whether they were really happy or not, but since they were sitting here and eating the emperor's banquet, they had to give the emperor enough face.
His Majesty the Emperor sat majestically on the dragon chair, looking out of the outer hall, and couldn't help but pour himself a drink, with a long-lost excitement and excitement on his face.
Xiao Zhang returned victoriously, not only found the thirteen princes, but also swept away the emperor's confidant Xuanyuan Gate; It can really be described as a double happiness, and the emperor is naturally very happy.
Finally, the figure of the chief eunuch Wei Zhong appeared outside the hall, and behind him was the hero Xiao Zhang.
The emperor couldn't help but stand up, if it weren't for the hundreds of ministers in the palace, he would definitely go to greet Xiao Zhang in person regardless of his identity.
Led Xiao Zhang into the Qi Heaven Palace, Wei Zhong was just about to open his mouth to report, but the emperor couldn't help but wave his hand to signal Wei Zhong to dodge, and then, the emperor said to Xiao Zhang excitedly: "Xiao Zhang, you are back!" ”
At this moment, the emperor is still like the ninety-five of the empire, and he is clearly an uncle who is looking forward to the return of his relatives.
Xiao Zhang understands that the emperor can be excited, but he can't be excited, and he must remain calm and rational enough, so as to reflect the image that a courtier should have in front of the emperor to the greatest extent.
"Chen Xiaozhang, see Your Majesty!" As he spoke, Xiao Zhang made a gesture to kneel down and bow down.
However, the emperor said in time: "No courtesy!" ”
You must know that Xiao Zhang has always not knelt down to the emperor, and this time he just wanted to be a show, and the emperor was also very face-saving, so he directly gave him the stairs.
Xiao Zhang was very satisfied, and said loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" ”
