The candle flickered and flickered. Beyond the candlelight was pitch black, and in the darkness, there were faces that could not be seen clearly.

This group of people, old and young, in positions of authority or in unknown places, is united today and now by a common goal. The person who brought them together was Bai Rui, the five-year-old His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Staying here, Bai Rui was a little scared, he didn't know why he appeared here, in his mind, these people turned him from the street here, they were bad people.

As soon as the impression of the bad guy appeared, at least for now, in Bai Rui's mind, he would not change this impression. However, seeing that these bad guys were a little respectful towards him, Bai Rui made his own request.

"I'm going back to the Heavenly Minister's Mansion." Bai Rui made his request, and then, lifting the quilt, jumping under the bed with both feet, stepping on the ground, and reaching out to put on his shoes.

Seeing His Royal Highness the Prince's movements, Wen Shaohua stepped forward, knelt in front of Bai Rui and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, please listen carefully to His Majesty's advice." ”

"Hongu doesn't listen." Bai Rui suddenly became petty, put on his shoes, and insisted on leaving.

This time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left, next time I don't know when I will encounter such a good opportunity, Wen Shaohua wanted to reach out and stop His Royal Highness the Prince, but considering the difference in identity, Wen Shaohua didn't dare to make any out-of-character moves, just knelt on the ground, and kept saying: "His Royal Highness the Prince, please stay, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince listens carefully to the construction of the ministers."

Before the other people in the room could make any moves, and were all thinking about how to stay, Bai Rui himself stopped, walked to the side of a person in the room, and said, "This jade pendant of yours, is it a peach blossom?" ”

The person with the peach blossom jade pendant replied: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, exactly." ”

"Can I give it to Hongu? Hongu Hongu. Bai Rui touched his body as he spoke, but he didn't take out anything valuable, when he went to the market today, he saw that he was exchanging things with others, and he needed to take out similar things to exchange with them. People who have lived in the palace since childhood don't know that there is such a thing as silver in this world.

Untied the jade pendant, the person with the jade pendant hurriedly presented the jade pendant to Bai Rui with both hands: "Please accept it from His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Uh-huh" Bai Rui really didn't take out anything from his body that he thought was valuable, looking at the jade pendant, his hand was still touching his body, he was a little anxious, and cold sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.

A slender hand covered the jade pendant, and another person stood up and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, we can give this to you." ”

"Really?" Barry said.

"Absolutely." The visitor brought the jade pendant and tied it to Bai Rui's belt, "However, we have a small request. ”

Looking at the peach blossom jade pendant, Bai Rui had a smile on the corner of his mouth: "What request?" ”

"In the future, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will take the time to come to us. Don't let Tenxiang-sama know. The visitor carefully tied the straps of the jade pendant, and the eyelashes cast a heavy shadow. After tying it, she looked up and smiled at Bai Rui.

There are even women among this group of old men from the former dynasty.

With a slight smile, Zheng Sleeve helped Bai Rui tidy up a messy hair that had become messy because of sleeping.

"Aunt" Bai Rui only saw Zheng Sleeve's face clearly now, and thought about the name of Zheng Sleeve in his mind, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still didn't come up with a name for Zheng Sleeve.

Reaching out and touching Bai Rui's head, Zheng Sleeve smiled happily: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you misunderstood, today is the first time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has met His Majesty." ”

Hearing this, Bai Rui laughed, a little embarrassed.

The peach blossom jade pendant is now her own. Bai Rui stretched out his hand and stroked the peach blossom jade pendant, and then said, "I want to go back to Tianxiang Mansion." ”

"Okay. Shaohua, you send His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back. Guo Lao pondered for a while and said.

A little embarrassed, Shaohua said: "Guo Lao, such a good opportunity, not to leave His Royal Highness the Crown Prince behind, but to send back to the Tianxiang Mansion, what is the reason." ”

Touching his beard, Guo Lao said, "I don't know what you said, but do you have any better ideas now to keep His Royal Highness the Crown Prince safe?" At least, now, it is a well-known thing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lives in Tianxiang Mansion, and the old man forgives that Song Weiyan and does not dare to do anything. At present, sending His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to the Tianxiang Mansion is the best way. ”

Guo Lao's words, Zheng Sleeve was the first to stand up and agree.

After thinking about it, the other ministers also agreed with Guo Lao's opinion. Right now, the Tianxiang Mansion is indeed the safest place for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Bai Rui, who was hung up by these ministers and put in his heart, just lowered his head and played with the extra peach blossom jade pendant on his waist, he wanted to take this jade pendant back to Lord Tianxiang.

'Will Tenxiang-sama like this?' Bai Rui secretly speculated in his heart. After many years, Bai Rui always felt funny when he thought of this, and the first time he speculated about people's hearts was actually used in this place.

Even if he was unhappy in every way, Wen Shaohua still listened to Guo Lao's advice and sent Bai Rui back to a place not far from Tianxiang Mansion.

Waving his hand at Wen Shaohua, Bai Rui held the peach blossom jade pendant tightly in his hand and walked towards Tianxiang Mansion.

The Tianxiang Mansion under the night, revealing a long-lasting temperament, this mansion, since the ancestors laid down the Dayan River, the first Bai Ze Tianxiang lived in it. At the beginning, Bai Ze Tianxiang was given a street to build the Tianxiang Mansion, and Bai Ze Tianxiang was not ambiguous, and the one that this Tianxiang Mansion was built was a unique one.

It is said that when they got the drawings designed by Bai Ze Tianxiang, the craftsmen also complained bitterly, Bai Ze Tianxiang was not only the mainstay above the temple, but also one of the best in terms of courtyard design.

Outside, two huge lions stood, one with a ball at its feet and a lion cub at the other's feet. Behind the lion are two standing lions with two horns on their heads, and a white stone statue with a goatee, slightly smaller than the lion in front, is a symbol of the Heavenly Minister's House.

Bai Ze is a famous mythical beast on Kunlun Mountain in ancient Chinese Han myths and legends. It is snow-white, can speak human words, through the feelings of all things, rarely haunts, unless there is a saint in the world to govern the world, only to come to the book, often with the unicorn or phoenix, etc., as a symbol of the ruler of high virtue to rule the world. It is an auspicious beast that can turn evil into good fortune.

With such a divine beast to call the prime minister of a country as an official title, and adding the word "sky" really doesn't understand what the ancestors think, and also set the ancestral motto of the Song family as the prime minister for generations.

At the entrance of the Tianxiang Mansion are five large lanterns, illuminating the front of the Tianxiang Mansion. There was a small candlelight, shining through the kraft paper of the lantern, shining on the street corner, and the corner was also the place where Wen Shaohua put down Bai Rui.

didn't take a few steps, Bai Rui saw Song Weiyan holding a beautiful lantern standing on the corner of the street waiting, under the night, a little cold, Song Weiyan put on a cloak and stood on the corner of the street, still dressed as a man today, with a little more tiredness between her eyebrows and eyes.

Originally, before Bai Rui came back, what he thought was that today on the street, Lord Tianxiang didn't see him, he must be angry, who expected to see Song Weiyan, Bai Rui abandoned all the complaints just now, didn't think about it, just ran away and threw himself into Song Weiyan's arms: "Lord Tianxiang, look, I'll bring you back"

"Smack-" A crisp slap sounded.

"What." Bai Rui still spoke in full. Just now, did Lord Tianxiang slap himself?

"Every day, does it really matter? It's a housekeeper," said one of the housekeepers.

"Nothing." Song Weiyan's words were faint, she withdrew her hand, her face did not change, and she did not have any expression, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is asleep now, this is just a child who goes out to play secretly, according to the rules of the government, ten boards." ”

After speaking, Song Weiyan turned around and left.

Behind his back, Bai Rui covered his cheeks, and the peach blossom jade pendant he was holding tightly in his hand also fell to the ground.
