Chapter 267: Reminder
The next day, Zhao Yunfan arrived as scheduled, Qi You accompanied the Xibao brothers and sisters for a lunch and then took Xiao Huanyue away, leaving a separate space for the brothers and sisters, and Huanyan went to Qi Zhe's mansion today, and now he hasn't come back, this is no interference, and the Xibao brothers and sisters chatted happily.
Zhao Yunfan is now a waiter in the Criminal Department, and he is also a very important member of Qi You's humerus, he is very busy, and he is also favored, because Zhao Yunfan has always been extremely low-key and steady, simple and efficient, but he has slowly established his prestige among the courtiers.
The two chatted about family life first, Xibao hadn't gone out of the palace to see Zhao's mansion for a long time, and he was naturally very concerned about things at home, and although Zhao Yunfan and Zhao Yunxuan brothers have already started a family and have their own mansions, the brothers are filial, and they have moved their mansions to the vicinity of Zhao's mansion, and Zhao Yunfan's mansion is directly next to Zhao's mansion, which is also convenient for them to take care of.
Xibao is also relieved a lot, she was really worried before, she can't often go in and out of the palace gate in the palace to go back to filial piety, if the two brothers are independent of the mansion one after another, she is afraid that her father and mother will have no one to take care of, so she once complained, but Zhao Yunfan and Yunxuan brothers naturally understand, so they are next to the Zhao Mansion and the nearest single independent mansion, the Zhao couple are happy, and Xibao is also relieved.
Asking, Zhao Yunfan suddenly asked, "Hey, I've been here for so long, why haven't I seen Huanyan come back?" ”
Xibao smiled: "Huan Yan, that little girl is crazy with the fifth master outside, this will definitely not come back." ”
Zhao Yunfan said sourly: "This little girl has a very good relationship with the five kings, and my uncle will be forgotten in the back of his head." ”
Xibao grinned and said: "Big brother, don't talk about you, even my mother can't be ranked anymore, hey, that little thing without conscience, it's really hurt????"
Zhao Yunfan really likes Huan Yan very much, so he mentioned it, after all, Huan Yan is the only girl in their Zhao family so far, he and his second brother are all stinky boys under their knees, and they don't even have a soft little girl, so he is the same as Zhao Yunxuan. I can't wait to love Huanyan as my own child.
So Huanyan didn't go to the house for a while, and they missed it a little, so they complained.
Xibao looked at the eldest brother's indignant look, and smiled: "Okay." Big brother, if the child comes back, I will allow her to live in the house for a while, and lo and behold, you are also the father of two children. How can there be someone like you, and I am not afraid of my sister-in-law's taste. ”
"Your sister-in-law won't, don't you know that the two stinky boys in front of me are causing trouble every day, my sister-in-law and I are about to be annoyed to death, hurry up and ask Xiao Huanyan to go to the house to clean up those two stinky boys, don't say, these two boys listen to Huanyan's words very much, recently Min'er has also become obsessed with reading military books, saying that Huanyan gave it, hey??? This little remark is more effective than my father's words. Your sister-in-law is looking forward to it. Zhao Yunfan said helplessly.
Xibao smiled: "Boys don't jump around, what else can you do if you are naughty and mischievous, as if you and your second brother didn't cause trouble when they were young, this is what I said." ”
Zhao Yunfan sighed: "Hey, but looking at Xiao Huanyue, she is very well-behaved, she must be a good one to clean up, hey??? That's right?? Recently, the eldest prince has been exercising in the criminal department?? That temperament is very calm?? As long as the two bastards in my family can look like a big prince, I will be relieved. ”
"The eldest prince is very low-key and calm when he is young, mainly because of the good teaching of the Gongsun family, but I think that children should have children's innocence. Otherwise, when I didn't have a crazy person from childhood to adulthood, I don't know how much I had to endure in my heart, and after such a long time, I would feel uncomfortable. Xibao laughed.
"How. My sister also found out? Zhao Yunfan looked suspicious.
"What do you mean, brother?" Xibao said strangely.
Zhao Yunfan said with a smile: "Didn't my sister also say it, the eldest prince is very stable, and he is indeed praised by everyone, but brother, I also think that this child has been calm, and I always feel that there are other thoughts hidden in his eyes, but this child is still young." Although it looks stable, it just doesn't feel very reassuring. ”
Xibao drank tea and said, "Big brother, has the eldest prince caused something?" ”
"It's not necessarily a good thing to be able to do everything at this age." Zhao Yunfan raised his eyebrows and said.
"Big brother means this kid is pretending?" Xi Baoqi said.
"No, but this kid is indeed so steady that it is not steady, and I am also a little weird in my heart, but in the end, it was specially ordered by the emperor, I just looked at the teaching, after all, it is the prince, and it is good to point to the end." Zhao Yunfan hesitated.
Xibao was puzzled: "What's the matter, is it for the eldest prince to find the eldest brother today?"
Zhao Yunfan smiled: "You are smart, part of it, the emperor asked about the situation of the eldest prince in the criminal department, and I replied truthfully, but I had reservations about this and didn't say it directly, but this heart is still not steady." ”
Xibao pondered for a while before saying: "Big brother, the eldest prince's temperament is with his mother and concubine Gongsun, Gongsun is the first to follow the emperor's side, this child was also born in front of the queen, and it is also a boy, with the power of the Liu family at that time, if the Gongsun family wants to protect the child and himself, he must learn to compromise, be steady and prudent, step by step, and be careful everywhere, just like when his sister just entered the palace, he didn't want to cause trouble, and he didn't even want any sense of survival, the child has been with his mother. It's normal to have a similar temperament, but later he entered the palace and sealed the concubine, and the Gongsun family slowly let go, not so careful, but this child was affected when he was a child, and such a temperament should also be, as long as he doesn't affect the eldest brother, it doesn't hurt for you to help him. ”
Zhao Yunfan said with a smile: "I guess so, but now the eldest brother can only keep a certain distance from him, firstly, the emperor does not like the secret relationship between the ministers and the prince, and secondly, this child will not open his heart to me, after all, he is behind Gongsun Shangshu, and I am the elder brother of your concubine, the emperor weighs it like this, and we can't get close." ”
Xibao chuckled and said, "What, now they are starting to plan for the position of the prince?" ”
Zhao Yunfan nodded and said: "Sister, Huan Yue is still young, but the eldest prince, the second prince is about to perform the gift of the weak crown, and he is about to be the age of the independent mansion, even if they don't have this mind, the power behind them should have been, or it should have been there a long time ago, otherwise why would the Gongsun clan protect the eldest prince so much?" ”
Xibao frowned and said, "They dare to think about it." The emperor is in his thirties and is in the prime of life, will it be too early to make an idea, aren't you afraid that the emperor will know. ”
Zhao Yunfan said helplessly: "Sister." Your idea is too simple, the emperor also came from the prince step by step, and he has also experienced the matter of competing for the throne with the princes, whether it is overt or secret, such a thing. It will naturally happen at a certain time, and the emperor has long known that as long as those people are not excessive, the emperor will be happy to open his eyes and close one eye, after all, they are all his flesh and blood. ”
Xibao continued with a cup of flower tea and continued: "Big brother, the emperor has personally experienced those, so he can't see fratricide, the eldest prince and the second prince are of the same age and equal in power. It should be more fraternal unity, at least in terms of face. ”
Zhao Yunfan said with a smile: "This point, the two princes also know it, except for the second prince who is a little domineering, these two princes get along well on weekdays, they don't care, I'm a little worried about Huanyue." ”
"Big brother is worried about what he does, he's still very young." Xibao laughed.
"It's because he's still young that I'm worried, you think about it. When Huanyue grows up, the eldest prince and the second prince are afraid that they have already established a foundation and have a certain status among the courtiers. When the time comes, Huanyue will be at a disadvantage when she goes to the court, how can I not worry. Zhao Yunfan said a little melancholy.
"I don't plan to let Huan Yue be any prince, how tired he is, as long as he grows up peacefully, it's not bad to be an idle prince like the fifth master, why do you have to become the king of a country." I can't bear to work hard and not necessarily get a good life. Xibao said angrily.
Zhao Yunfan said: "Sister, it is naturally good for Huan Yue to have a good life in the future, but this kind of thing, you still have to know it in your heart, after all, you are in the harem, you can't help yourself, it's not that you can stay out of the matter if you don't want to participate, the eldest brother still says that you can't have the heart to hurt people, and you can't have the heart to prevent people." ”
Xibao smiled: "Big brother, I know, although I don't want to fight with them for anything, but if it touches my bottom line, I will naturally not be soft, big brother can rest assured, seeing that the time is almost up, big brother should go back quickly, so as not to worry about my father and sister-in-law." ”
Zhao Yunfan got up and patted his clothes and said: "Sister, eldest brother is leaving, if you have any needs in the palace, just ask someone to come to the house to inform you, if you are wronged, don't bear it, the eldest brother and the second brother are here, they will not make that person feel better." ”
Xibao helped Zhao Yunfan smooth his sleeves and said: "Sister knows, eldest brother, you and the second brother should also be careful, after all, the master is now the emperor, and there are some things you still do according to your ability, protect yourself first." ”
"I know my sister, the big brother is gone, don't send it." After that, Zhao Yunfan walked out of Xibao's palace under the guidance of the palace people.
As soon as Zhao Yunfan left, Xibao's heart was a little stunned, the eldest brother's reminder that she didn't understand, but she didn't want her son to fight for this position, she was reluctant to eat her own son because of the hardships there, and it was not bad to be as chic as a fifth master, but the reality was that Huan Yue didn't love and protect his eldest brother like Qi You, hey???
I can't think clearly, Xibao's heart is chaotic, and he looked around the dormitory, only to find that it was empty, and then he remembered that his son was hugged by Qi You, shook his head, and got rid of those annoying thoughts, Xibao simply packed up and went out to Yangxin Hall to find his son.
When he arrived at the door of the Yangxin Palace, he didn't see Gonggong Xue, Xibao was still strange in his heart, so he asked the palace man on the side: "Isn't the emperor in the palace?" ”
The palace people said respectfully: "The emperor is in the palace, and Xue Gonggong is just accompanied, but the concubine Niangniang is going in?" ”
Xibao nodded and said, "Yes, please go in and report it, saying that it is the palace asking to see me." ”
The palace man smiled: "Niangniang wait a while, and the slave will go in to pass the ceremony." ”
Xibao hadn't turned around twice in place, and the palace people who had returned came out and said, "Concubine Niangniang, the emperor invites you in." With that, he pushed open the door and welcomed Xibao into the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Before Xibao could say goodbye, he heard Qi You say, "Finished talking to your eldest brother?" (To be continued.) )
