Chapter 447: Selfishness
Reaching out to the hand that beckoned me, I quickly got a response, and he held me tight, and gave me some warmth. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoIn short, with his help, my embarrassing situation has finally improved a lot.
"On the Holy Side, the wife's room spent a lot of energy yesterday in order to make a meal recorded in the "Food Secrets" for Shengxia. That's why today, there was such a rude act that disturbed the court's solemn and clear worries. ā
After Xiao Shengxia helped me up, he let go of my hand carelessly. Seeing Emperor Xiao's warning look, he began to compile words that wanted to cover up.
"Oh? I can't imagine that the princess still has such thoughts about Shengxia, which really makes me feel impressed. Emperor Xiao's face turned slightly, and he said without shock.
"Oh, thank Situ for the gift of the saints, and only then can you get this good wife." Xiao Shengxia said, deliberately cutting off a person's name, his intention was to lay the prelude to the audition for yesterday's plan.
"He Situ? Oh...... He Situ. When Emperor Xiao heard this, his expression and tone obviously changed. In a trance, he seemed to realize that he had forgotten about his "He Qing" under the trouble of many matters.
"You...... You have reminded me that this He Qing's posthumous life should indeed be dealt with well. Emperor Xiao said, but everyone in the hall seemed to be surprised.
Indeed, only a handful of people know about this "loss of officials". "What? He Situ is lost? I just think of him as traveling all over the world and putting away official things for the time being. "Yes, yes, although I am friendly with him, I am ashamed not to know about such things......"
In the court, the pot suddenly exploded in an instant. It's just me, Xiao Shengxia, and Emperor Xiao are all like officials.
"Can you express your opinions? This is what I said, so I don't need to wait for the queen to speak. Emperor Xiao heard the noise and did not retreat, so he deliberately said a warning word in his words as a reminder.
"The ministers are terrified." The minister understood this
, and woke up in time to close his mouth. The noise gradually stopped, and Xiao Difang had another language.
"I think that the cause of He Aiqing's death is suspicious, and I will go to his house to find out the truth after retiring from the dynasty today. And so it was decided. Emperor Xiao made a decision, and his eyes also traveled around to examine everyone.
His eyes were suddenly surprised when they stared at a person. And that person was the woman with an indifferent face standing next to Sheng Xia.
It was clearly said that she was talking about her father's death, but why did she deserve such a look? In addition to doubts, the question in his heart also blurted out.
"Princess, I have a problem with something, I wonder if you can solve my confusion?" Listening to this unprepared question, my whole body seemed to shiver, cold to the bone.
But even if I was flustered in my heart, my words and deeds still couldn't show any flaws. After all, the acting is complete, and the roles that are still done should be completed with due diligence.
"Holy Lord, please ask, if Jin'er can answer it, I will do my best." I said the routine words "officialdom", and my eyes also showed a rare concentration.
"I ask you, why didn't you show the slightest concern and concern on your face when I mentioned He Aiqing's posthumous affairs, as his beloved daughter?"
He asked this question a little viciously, a little sharp, and I almost didn't find the words to answer it for a while. Fortunately, I got the assistance of my teammates at the moment of crisis, otherwise, I am afraid that I would have easily exposed the embarrassing identity of a "fake".
"On the sage, Jin'er was overly sad, so Fang lost the expression of her expression. Yesterday, she cried in Shengxia's arms, and she was so emotionless. You should know that when your heart is like ashes, it is difficult to show even a sad expression. ā
Xiao Shengxia made up a good one-handed word to solve the siege, and he could say such nonsense without being ashamed. I can't learn this kind of skill.
"There's yours, and it's still a set of things." I bowed my head and talked to him with the art of sound transmission. When he heard this, he cast his gaze at me, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly without a trace. Could it be that he wanted to accept my praise with that contemptuous smile?
"Oh, that makes sense, but as for the heart-wrenching feeling, I ...... I really understand it. Emperor Xiao believed Xiao Shengxia's words, and there was a deep meaning in his eyes that was secretly accumulating and brewing.
"That Shengxia apologized for Jin'er's faux pas." Xiao Shengxia glanced at me, then bowed slightly, and apologized to the officials and Emperor Xiao.
"Okay, okay, it's always a trivial matter, and you don't have to be so cumbersome about etiquette." When Emperor Xiao saw Xiao Shengxia like this, he couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in his heart.
He didn't want the child to follow the rules like this child, and he didn't want him to maintain a relationship with him that was as unfamiliar as that of a monarch and a minister.
"That Shengxia is convenient for thanking the saint." It was another estranged etiquette, which really burned Emperor Xiao's eyes. "I'm tired, I'll retire today, and I'll take care of the affairs of He Qing's family with the two of you."
Emperor Xiao's words fell, and his meaning was obviously that he had the idea of retreating from the dynasty. Everyone felt the sacred heart, and then thought of the retreat ceremony. Unexpectedly, the speed was stunned by a sudden intrusion of words.
"Father, my son's heart is unhappy! Look at my father and give an explanation! The anger in the man's words could be heard by everyone, but the man sitting at the top of the hall still did not understand the situation properly.
"Rui'er, I have said that I have said that I want to retreat from the court, but you still come to stir up the situation, do you still want to give birth to some more moths to annoy me and disturb me?" Emperor Xiao asked, and everyone in the hall also held their breath for a while, observing the situation.
They were faintly aware that a beacon fire was about to begin......
"Father, why haven't you mentioned your sons or sons even a word since the last court? Don't you want to ask your sons why they are late today? ā
Xiao Rui confidently refuted to Xiao Rui, and there was a slight sense of grievance in his words.
Such vexatious words couldn't help but make everyone in front of the hall laugh. Although they laughed very lowly, they still couldn't resist the situation that the laugher had no intention and the listener had a heart.
"Who is it? Before his father spoke, he dared to laugh at this prince? Xiao Rui roared at the officials and ministers without respect, and this roar obviously touched Emperor Xiao's bottom line.
"Presumptuous, all ministers have the right to express their words, what right do you have to hinder you. Although you are a prince, you must not forget that in addition to this identity, you are just my courtier! ā
Emperor Xiao's words were sharp, and everyone who was stunned fell into a silent situation. Unlike the silence of others, Xiao Rui still seems to be swept away by jealousy. He sneered, and then uttered something that violated the bottom line even more.
"Heh, my father is so biased, isn't it because he wants to make up for the lack of childhood and father's love in Xiao Shengxia?" As soon as these words came out, Emperor Xiao angrily smashed the ornaments on the dragon platform to the person who spoke.
Or is it sad that Xiao Rui is standing there without hiding or avoiding. "Your Highness, why don't you know how to dodge?" The woman beside him suddenly stopped in front of him, blocking the throwing of several ornaments for him.
"Chi'er, you get out of the way, since my father has already wanted to get rid of me as soon as possible, how can I, as a filial son, go against his will!" Xiao Rui nudged the woman beside him to the side, and then stared at the person in the hall, and refuted with a piercing gaze.
How can a person with such disobedient eyes swear by a dutiful oath and call himself a filial son without a red face and a heartbeat? Emperor Xiao's heart tightened, and he walked down the hall with the intention of facing this rebel head-on.
"Your Majesty, be careful." Bi Gonggong on the side saw that Emperor Xiao's steps were in danger, so he cautiously cared a few times. "I am not yet old, and today I have to face this unrepentant rebel son!"
As Emperor Xiao spoke, he stretched out his hand and pushed away the person beside him who wanted to support him. He straightened his back, raised his chest, and walked towards the hall with renewed momentum.
On the way to walk, he passed by Xiao Shengxia's side. Those cold eyes touched his heart fiercely, and he seemed to be ignorant of everything that was happening around him, and there was a sense of ridicule at the joke between his eyebrows.
It's just that a dog is no longer enough for him. If he is upset about this child whose identity is a mystery, he may lose a few points in his noble dragon body.
He put aside the concern for Xiao Shengxia in his heart, and then continued to approach Xiao Rui. At such times, he would have to listen to what other rebellious words the child could say.
"I am standing in front of you now, if there is any dissatisfaction in my heart, just tell me clearly, don't mention your seventh brother unforgivingly." Emperor Xiao said this lightly, and his eyes also intentionally or unintentionally skimmed Xiao Shengxia, who was out of the matter.
Looking at each other, he felt that this child was extremely forbearing. Even if Xiao Rui called him an evil seed, there was only the slightest imperceptible move in his expression.
"Father! When you ask your son's words, your eyes still don't forget to look at the evil seed, isn't this the so-called partiality? Xiao Rui got up and walked to Emperor Xiao's eyes, and the arrogance in his words was even more terrifying.
"Rui'er, you must not call Shengxia a sinister species, even if I have doubts about its identity in my heart, such judgment words have to come out of my mouth."
"This ...... Father! You're clearly eccentric! Why did you become such a person towards your sons? Is it because of some fault of your sons that makes your heart cold, or is it because of this sin...... What tricks is this person doing behind his back to bewitch your heart? ā
Xiao Rui said loudly, and the direction of his hand also poked directly at Emperor Xiao's heart. Such a reckless and faux pas really shocked all the officials on the spot.
"Why, my father doesn't know how to answer his son's words? Still is...... There is no way to argue at all! The arrogance of Xiao Rui's question was still rising, his hand never left, and the ruthlessness in his eyes was even more threatening.
"You take my hand away, this nonsense, why do you have to play a game with me every once in a while?"
Emperor Xiao said, with a helpless look between his eyebrows, and now he should also be annoyed by these dragons who have different temperaments and cause some trouble every once in a while.
"Take it away? Oh, if your father doesn't give a proper answer, your son will always touch your heart with this fingertip and torture your heart! ā
Xiao Rui's momentum was obviously too much, and these words forced Emperor Xiao to retreat. He moved away, and there was a little softness in his words.
"Well, I tell you that I don't recognize such arguments as partiality. I have the same attitude towards Shengxia and you. But if you really want to talk about who you prefer, you might as well ask yourself! ā
Emperor Xiao replied, and every word had a strange power that pierced his heart. In this way, it can be regarded as effective, at least it can be regarded as temporarily sealing Xiao Rui's anger.
"Really...... Is that really the case? Father...... Do you hurt me more? Xiao Rui took a few steps back, his eyes and expression still revealing a bit of reluctance.
"You can understand it yourself, and today's absurd court theory should be stopped by me. Retreat! Emperor Xiao glanced at Xiao Rui coldly, and then said the order to "retreat" to everyone present.
Indeed, today's inexplicable quarrel and dispute has indeed lost the most favored face of the royal family.
"The ministers are retiring, long live my emperor, long live." The ministers looked left and right, and finally retreated from the hall in an orderly manner.
"Wait, Imperial Doctor Zhang, you stay." Seeing that the person needed was about to leave, Emperor Xiao called out in a hurry.
"What does Your Majesty command?" Zhang Yi listened to the words, and his eyes cautiously waited for Emperor Xiao's orders. "After I am Rong, I will go to the He Mansion to apply for He Aiqing's funeral, and if you need to open the coffin for an autopsy, you will have to worry about it." Emperor Xiao was discussing matters, and his eyes were as dim as ever.
"Okay, Weichen will stay in case His Majesty needs it from time to time." Zhang Yi listened to the words, and bowed to the side.
"That Shengxia, Jin'er, easy to hear, let's set off now." As Emperor Xiao spoke, he planned to leave. This move was logical, but I didn't expect it, and some people still put forward a rebuttal.
"Father, don't you really ask why your sons are late to the court today?" Xiao Rui took a few steps forward, grabbed the hem of Emperor Xiao's clothes and asked. The question that flashed in his eyes was unwilling, and it deeply burned Emperor Xiao's eyes.
He never thought that this son would care so much about such details. "Well, if you really want to tell me why, then you can't help it. But only short words, I will keep my ears to listen. Emperor Xiao thought about it, but decided to listen to what the child said.
"The son knew that the hunting period was about to be reached, so when the sky was bright, he took his wife and room out to practice his skills. Every time I thought that I could go to the hunting ground with my father and gallop on a horse, my son forgot the time......"
Xiao Rui said to himself, and the excitement in his eyebrows and eyes seemed to have not dissipated. He thought that such rhetoric could ease the temporary impasse between father and son, but he did not expect a basin of "cold water" that was poured on him.
"Alright, I know you have a heart. When hunting, you will compare yourself with your seventh brother, and see who is better in this hunting skill? After leaving these words, Emperor Xiao took the demeanor and expression of these two people into his eyes openly.
One of them, the gloomy aura on his face never dissipated. The other person still has a calm and unfazed demeanor.
Emperor Xiao stared at the latter, and his eyes were unconsciously drawn away again. What he didn't understand was what kind of shocking thing had to happen to make the child in front of him change his mood slightly?
"Father, you!" Xiao Rui noticed that Emperor Xiao's gaze was lingering, and immediately became jealous again, his fingers stretched out slightly, and he looked like he could not control his emotions.
"That's it! Don't be so vexatious anymore, your intentions are clear about the hunt, go back quickly, and go back to care about your wife's room. I just saw Chi'er's child, and I also blocked my throw for you. Emperor Xiao's words were empty, so he had to lead the topic to others.
Fortunately, the person he chose was not shallow in Xiao Rui's heart, and it was indeed quite effective in distracting that person's attention.
His words were originally targeted to one person. But he never thought that when these words came out, they would also attract the attention of one person...... (To be continued.) )
