"Why him. ”

"The Eighth Emperor Brother is deeply hidden. ”

"It seems that we all underestimate him, this old man is really hidden deep enough. ”

Quite a few people mumble to themselves.

"Is it the eighth?" His Majesty was a little surprised, this eighth was unknown before, even he only knew that he had such a son, as for what advantages this son had, what he was good at was not clear to him, after all, he wanted to rule an entire dynasty, and the harem was also very large, where could he take care of these trivial matters.

"Okay, then summon the eighth to come, I want to see what other surprises he can bring to me. ”

His Majesty is now in his forties, and although he has passed the prime of his life, there is no problem in holding out for a while.

After a while, a delicate figure was brought over by the eunuch and stood in front of him.

His Royal Highness Eight's appearance is very delicate, a bit like a girl.

This made His Majesty a little unhappy, he admired the kind of tall, burly and more manly heir, no wonder this old man didn't have a deep memory here, it turned out that he hadn't paid attention to him before.

"What do you want? I promised to agree to the champion, something I could promise. ”

His Majesty asked lightly.

"Back to my father, my son wants to go out to open a mansion. His Royal Highness said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

His Majesty squinted at him for a long time, "Who instigated you to do this?" ”

"Father, this is all Erchen's own thoughts. His Royal Highness said loudly.

"I think you seem to be thirteen years old. ”

"Yes!" Hearing that his father still remembered his age, His Royal Highness was a little excited.

His Majesty closed his eyes, and the atmosphere fell into a treacherous silence.

His Royal Highness stood below worriedly.

After a long time, the man sitting in the imperial chariot opened his eyes, "I am ready, tomorrow I will announce in the court that I will return to the palace." ”

His Royal Highness's eyes showed joy, "Thank you, Father!"

......

The news that His Royal Highness was going to open the palace was informed of the ministers by His Majesty in the court the next day.

No one in the court objected, just a little-known little prince.

"I didn't expect the eighth child's wish to open a mansion. ”

"Hehe, dare to come out and muddy the water at such a young age, the old eight ambitions are not small. ”

But many of the princes who got the news showed hostility towards His Royal Highness.

None of them are stupid, how can the eighth who can win the top spot in the competition of many princes be a fool?

If he really thinks that the eighth person is a fool, then he is a fool himself!

Orders were passed on one by one for the Eighth Highness.

There are those who are ready to suppress, and there are those who are ready to co-opt.

There are also princes who are not interested in the battle for succession, and they simply think that the eighth child is very magical and wants to make friends.

Xiangyuan, the bedroom of His Majesty's concubine Xiangfei today.

She gave birth to two princes for His Majesty, and she is also the biological mother of His Royal Highness.

Concubine Xiang's background is not simple, she is the eldest daughter of the head of the Jiangnan Bai family, and she is also the sister of the current head of the Jiangnan Bai family.

The Bai family in Jiangnan is a family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, although there have never been three dukes, but there have been many important ministers in the court, and they are deeply rooted in Jiangnan.

At the same time, it is said that the Bai family is also secretly involved in the rivers and lakes, as for whether it is true, ordinary people don't know, only a few people know.

"What is this doing...... I asked him to help his brother, and he won a championship himself. In the Xiangyuan dormitory, a woman in a long red dress muttered to herself, her eyes full of confusion.

What is this old man fooling about, why did he suddenly wade into this troubled water.

The woman's eyes are full of complexity, could it be that someone is secretly instigating Lao Ba to use Lao Ba as a pawn!?

Concubine Xiang's eyes showed a cold light, and it seemed that she must investigate it carefully.

She gave birth to two sons, the eldest son competed for the position of unification, and the second son was just an idle prince and a rich man, even if the eldest son failed in the end, the second son would not be too involved, because the second son was not involved too much from beginning to end.

But now it was the eighth child who took the initiative to jump down, and now his two sons are involved.

The layout of the Bai family was also disrupted, because they had arranged a lot of arrangements before, and even some of the relationships and strength in the clan were ready to be handed over to the sixth child. So there is simply no superfluous force to give the eighth too much support.

If you don't have a background and want to go to the last step, it's too difficult, and it's too late for the eighth child to start.

But after all, it was her own son who made her distressed: "The eighth child is really nonsense." ”

After struggling for a long time, Concubine Xiang summoned her personal maid Xiao Ju, "Xiao Ju, tomorrow is the day when the eighth child opens the mansion, you take 100,000 taels of silver from the private treasury of the palace and bring it to the eighth child." ”

Surprised by the huge number of fifty thousand taels, Xiao Ju showed a strange look, and then respectfully obeyed: "Yes." ”

After Xiao Ju retreated, she was amazed in her heart, Niangniang really valued His Royal Highness Eight, and there had been secret talks in private before, thinking that Concubine Xiangniang only valued His Royal Highness Six, but did not care much about His Royal Highness, and even let His Royal Highness only have a few eunuchs assigned to him in the palace even as servants.

But today's move is not broken.

What is the concept of 100,000 taels of silver, and the annual tax revenue of a poor state capital is only about 1 million taels of silver.

Even for Niangniang, if she wants to take out 100,000 taels of silver, she will have to bleed heavily.

And Niangniang said that it was her private treasury, that is to say, it did not involve the Bai family, but she paid out of her own pocket.

After Xiaoju retreated, Concubine Xiang was still standing in the garden in a daze.

She didn't send someone to send it to Lao Ba, because she had lived in the palace for a long time, and the people she could command were the Bai family's forces except for the palace guards.

But she still doesn't know what the Bai family's attitude is towards Lao Ba, so she will definitely not rashly send the Bai family's people to Lao Ba's side.

......

It is worth mentioning that the location chosen by His Royal Highness to open the mansion was not in the capital, but a royal manor ten miles away from the capital.

This made many people shocked, and they didn't know if this Eighth Highness was crazy.

Isn't he afraid of danger?

There is a royal deterrent in the capital, and the royal masters are like clouds, and no one dares to come to him for trouble with a prince.

But he chose the location outside the capital, and if he really encountered danger, it would be too late to call for help!

Of course, it doesn't mean that the people of the royal family can't live outside the city, but that His Royal Highness has no power at all, and there is no one to protect him.

It is said that when His Royal Highness went out of the city, he only brought a little eunuch and ten maids sent by the royal family, which was pitiful and shabby.

On the first day, there were still a lot of people who came to give gifts, but on the second day, they were all gone.

Except for the insects and birds, there is no human figure in the manor.

His Royal Highness the Eighth is quite a novelty, he has just left the palace and is very curious about everything outside.

"Aren't you worried about danger?" Ren Wu, who was sitting cross-legged on the lotus flower on the water surface of the pool, opened his eyes and said lightly.

"Isn't there a great companion for you, the Water Virtue Divine Monarch!" the Eighth Highness teased.

Although he is still young, he already understands a truth, that is, employing people without suspicion and suspicion.

Ren Wu chuckled when he heard this.

Suddenly, Ren Wu looked outside the manor, "The people who cleaned the manor are here." ”
