Chapter Ninety-Six
When Xia Liansheng approached the fourth elder brother, he was sitting on a chair to sober up, he did drink a lot today, and today's wine seemed to be particularly strong, he felt quite dizzy after drinking a few glasses, the little eunuch next to him was sent by him to serve the decanting soup, and before he came back, Xia Liansheng approached his side and called softly: "Fourth elder brother? ”
The eighth elder brother saw that Xia Liansheng wanted to whisper to the fourth elder brother, and he couldn't help but be secretly vigilant in his heart, now any small action made by anyone in private would make him very nervous, so he called Xia Liansheng's name loudly and said, "Xia Beile is here to toast the fourth brother?" Why don't you give us a toast? ”
Xia Liansheng didn't say anything to the fourth elder brother, and was named by the eighth elder brother, so he couldn't help but stand up and greet the eighth elder brother, and stuffed the hand warmer into the fourth elder brother's hand. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The emperor saw Xia Liansheng and asked him to step forward to reply, so he had no choice but to leave the fourth elder brother and approach the emperor's side.
The emperor looked at Xia Liansheng's face that looked like Xia Yuhe, and couldn't help but tone lightly, and asked Xia Liansheng: "Is your injured body better?" I heard that you have recently gone to the Ministry of Works? Did you make any achievements? If you don't have it, don't worry, the adults in the Ministry of Engineering are old-timers, so you have to ask for advice with an open mind. ”
Xia Liansheng replied one by one: "My body is already well, as long as I don't work too hard, there is no big problem, and I usually pay attention to rest." Recently, I have some ideas for some gadgets in the Ministry of Industry, and I will definitely come up with results after a while. ”
The emperor smiled when he heard this, and he didn't say anything good or bad, but just let him be close to his sons, and said that he was also about to get married, and he would live a good life with Tuya after the wedding. As he spoke, he mentioned that Tuya was quite popular with the Queen Mother, and he would let Tuya accompany the Queen Mother more in the future. Xia Liansheng responded with a smile, on the surface, he completely ignored the envy and jealousy of the elder brother led by the prince, but in fact, he was very anxious in his heart, and he didn't know how to convey the information to the fourth elder brother.
The emperor was relieved to see Xia Liansheng so well-behaved, and remembered the news from the inside line he placed in the Yuqing Palace after Ziwei's injury, and couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in his heart: Could it be that his education is not as good as a Lin Ruhai? However, he felt that he still had to strengthen filial piety education, and as for the old people who would be born in the future to treat their children harshly in the name of unfilial piety, he could not predict it.
However, Xia Liansheng is also because he is too harsh on the children around him, not to mention the prince he personally raised, which other son has not made achievements in different aspects? It's just that as other children think, he is too partial to the prince, and everything in the children's education is based on the prince, and everyone else makes him look down on him.
Thinking of this, the emperor felt bored, so he called Xia Liansheng: "Come and go with me to the Queen Mother, and you can also meet Ziwei and Tuya." Xia Liansheng stepped forward to help the emperor leave the hall through the back door in the eyes of envy, jealousy and hatred of everyone. Many ministers are also muttering in their hearts, does the emperor want to favor this Mongolian horse from the Eighth Outer Road, or do you want to show it to some people? Several people couldn't help but look at the prince's face vaguely, thinking that they would see the prince with a blue face or an angry face, but they didn't want to see a smiling prince. So except for some people who already have a spectrum in their hearts, they all began to lament the difficulty of the prince.
Don't look at Xia Liansheng pretending to be very happy in front of several princes, but he is worried about telling the fourth elder brother the news that the prince may raise troops. But every time he swept his eyes over the fourth elder brother, he was either toasted by others or held his head as if he was a little drunk, Xia Liansheng gave him a hand warmer didn't know which corner he threw it to, Xia Liansheng was so anxious that he couldn't do it, but he was afraid that the emperor would see it and the emperor would call him away, he didn't dare to delay, helped the emperor out of the back door, and slowly walked along the corridor towards the apse not far away, Li Dequan led people to follow far behind.
Xia Liansheng was thinking about things slowly following the emperor, and the emperor suddenly asked, "Liansheng, what do you think of the prince?"
Xia Liansheng was taken aback, looked up at the emperor with strange eyes, and he was a little skeptical that the emperor knew what the prince was going to do. The emperor saw Xia Liansheng's expression different, and explained with a smile: "Don't be nervous, let's just talk casually."
Xia Liansheng asked suspiciously: "Say it casually?" Don't cure me of my sin?"
"Say whatever you want, and I won't punish you."
Xia Liansheng saw that the emperor didn't know what he had been stimulated by in the main hall just now, and he wanted to play with his heart at this time, but since the emperor didn't punish him for his crime and asked him to evaluate a doomed person, what did he dare not say, so he frowned and said, "You also know that I have a grudge against the prince...... Don't frown, you said let me say whatever I wanted......" Seeing that although the emperor frowned, he still motioned for him to continue, and he boldly spoke, "I have a grudge against him, of course I don't like anything about him." I just think he's a little too ...... Uh, lawlessness? In the whole Daqing, it is estimated that he didn't pay attention to anyone except you, after all, he has been the second most noble person in the world since he was a child, so it is not his fault that he has grown up like this......"
"That's my fault?"
"I don't dare say that...... Don't stare at me, you let me say whatever I want. ”
"I asked you to say the prince, didn't you arrange me, did you?"
Isn't this an analysis of the possible reasons for the formation of his character? I don't know him well, and I don't have much to do with him......"
"I don't know me well, so you can run Hu Qin with your mouth full, right?"
Xia Liansheng pretended to be aggrieved and didn't speak, and the emperor smiled and pointed at him and scolded lightly: "Be careful with me." Before he retorted, his face changed and he said seriously: "You don't have to object, just tell me how the hand warmer you gave to the fourth child before came from."
Xia Liansheng's heart tightened when he heard this, and he didn't know how to answer. Of course, this hand stove was given to him by the thirteenth elder brother, and he could answer, but what if the hand stove was found out and was used to deliver news? It doesn't matter if you help the thirteenth elder brother and the fourth elder brother pass the news, if the fourth elder brother's eyeliner in the palace is found out, wouldn't it be to face the wrath of thunder? He didn't dare brush his beard, so he had to remain silent.
But when he thought that the prince was going to rebel against him today, and he didn't think to tell him when he faced him alone, he suddenly felt a little guilty, and if the emperor knew that he didn't consider the feelings of the people in front of him in order to take refuge with his big backer, he would definitely be very sad. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at the emperor cautiously, and instead of seeing disgust or anger in his eyes, he still looked at him with a kind smile.
