Chapter 21: Face Saint

The brothers and sisters of the Zhao family quickly left Shen Hetai behind, and talked about some recent things with Li Huaiyan, and the dishes were presented, and everyone stopped talking and began to eat.

After the meal, Li Huaiyan took a sip of tea, looked at Zhao Xi opposite, and asked, "Xiaoxi, your birthday is coming, what gift do you want this time?" ”

When Zhao Xi heard this, he turned his gaze back from the screen beside him, and said secretly in his heart: I want a reputation value, and I want a hundred reputation points.

[I think my original suggestion was very reliable, you see, you and Li Huaiqi are childhood sweethearts, two little guesses, and they are in love, and he is the future emperor, with your ability, you will definitely be able to complete the task easily. 】

Xingchen detected the thoughts in Zhao Xi's heart, and popped out to show his sense of existence.

[Childhood sweetheart, I admit it, you can also say this kind of thing out of nothing. Do you know what that kid is going to call me? He's going to call me my cousin, and his dad is my cousin! 】

Zhao Xi snorted coldly in his heart.

[The royal family is the least senior-minded place, especially the harem. 】

Xingchen seriously emphasized that it has existed for a long time, and he has seen everything, and Zhao Xi's concerns are not worth mentioning in front of the royal power.

[This matter is not to be mentioned.] 】

[So how do you accomplish the task?] 】

Have you forgotten that a few years ago, my grandmother used to tell me about how powerful my great-grandmother was? 】

[It is normal for the elderly to miss their elders, and then tell the younger generations about some of the glorious deeds of the elders. If your grandmother really has any other thoughts, it's been almost six years now, and there is no movement, I'm afraid it won't come true.

If you can't complete the task, then you will disappear after this life. But as compensation, you can also have this life to live again, and you can't blame me for the failure of the mission. 】

After Xingchen finished speaking, he did not speak again.

Zhao Xi's mental conversation with Xingchen was only for a moment, and when she came back to her senses, she looked at Li Huaiyan and shook her head, "There is nothing you want, don't bother." ”

Li Huaiqi responded thoughtfully, and when he saw the wolf-proof eyes of Zhao Xu and the two beside him, he shouted helplessly: I really don't have anything wrong with Xiaoxi, don't look at me with such eyes!

Since the beginning of his acquaintance, he has been beaten by Zhao Xi by virtue of his seniority, even if he can beat it, a manly man can still resist, the problem is that no matter how diligent he practices martial arts, he is the one who is beaten.

Therefore, such an experience caused him to never think about Zhao Xi beyond half a difference, and he always regarded Zhao Xi as a brother. He felt that Zhao Xi had given birth to the wrong daughter, and when he thought of the stone plate that was blown up by Zhao Xi's punch, and then saw Zhao Xi's delicate and unparalleled appearance, such a strong contrast made him shudder.

"I heard that you're going on a study tour, when will you leave?" Li Huaiyan asked Zhao Xu.

"I'll be gone in a few days." Zhao Xu replied. The school has taken leave, and the family has begun to pack their luggage, waiting for the other friends to pack up, and then they can set off.

Zhao Xu turned his head and rubbed Zhao Xi's head, "Xi'er, eldest brother is going out before your birthday, I'm afraid I can't accompany you on this birthday." Do you have anything you want? My brother bought it for you as a birthday gift. ”

Zhao Xi looked at Zhao Xu with a hint of worry in his eyes, "You don't want anything, you just come back safely." ”

A group of sons and sons go on a study tour and return safely is the best.

Zhao Xu agreed to Zhao Xi with a gentle eyebrow, "Okay, eldest brother will write to you every month, you have to be obedient at home, don't be naughty." ”

After the meal, Li Huaiyan returned to the East Palace, and the three brothers and sisters of Zhao Xi returned to the Zhao Mansion.

A few days later, Zhao Xu, Han Yatang and others were ready and embarked on a study tour under the escort of their families.

The breeze came in the night, and after the eldest princess finished bathing, Dingguo Gong picked up a towel to help his wife wipe her hair.

The eldest princess pondered for a moment and said, "Seeing that Xi'er is about to turn ten years old, I am going to go to the Holy Lord. ”

Ding Guogong wiped his hand for a moment, and then continued, "Will it be too fast?" ”

The eldest princess turned her head sideways to look at her husband and raised her eyebrows slightly, "I heard from my cousin that Xi'er has almost learned enough, and all that remains is to continue to study." But no matter how much you learn, it's just on paper, so what's the use? It's better to let her join the Feng Guard Army as soon as possible. ”

Ding Guogong remembered that some time ago, his granddaughter asked his cousin to go out to study and was reprimanded, and laughed. In fact, he knew how satisfied his cousin was with Xi'er, but he was afraid that she would be arrogant, so he taught her with Zhuge Zi, just because he thought that she couldn't stop learning.

Ding Guogong pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay, in that case, you can talk to the Holy Lord first." If it doesn't work, continue to let Xi'er study with her cousin. ”

The eldest princess's tone was a little excited, "Okay, I'll enter the palace tomorrow." ”

Ding Guogong looked at his wife's expectant expression, smiled helplessly, touched his wife's long hair, found that it had been dried, and said softly: "It's late at night, go to sleep." ”

After saying that, he got up and pulled his wife to the bed.

The next day, the eldest princess entered the palace and met Emperor Yanren in the Taihe Palace, and the two closed the palace door, except for Emperor Yanren's chief manager Qi Gonggong, no one knew what the eldest princess and Emperor Yanren had secretly discussed.

And Gonggong Qi is notoriously loyal, if someone dares to ask Gonggong Qi about the emperor, Gonggong Qi will fool him in person, and he will turn his head and report to Emperor Yanren. Emperor Yanren would never doubt the loyalty of Duke Qi, and those who inquired would know what thunder, rain and dew were all emperors. The court and the harem are all jealous of Father-in-law Qi, but fortunately, Father-in-law Qi has something to say, and he will never frame others, otherwise Father-in-law Qi would have died a long time ago, how can he live until now.

Not to mention that the court was speculating about this matter, even the harem was scratching its lungs to know what the eldest princess had secretly talked about with Emperor Yanren. You must know that the person with the largest existing rank in the royal family is the eldest princess, the eldest princess has a high seniority, high status, and a phoenix guard in her hand, except for the emperor, no one can suppress her at all. Such a person has a secret conversation with the emperor in the Taihe Palace, and no one believes it if it is not a big deal.

It happened that day was the first day of the new year, and the emperor was going to the queen's place for the night as usual, and the queen ordered the small kitchen to prepare the dishes as usual, waiting for the emperor to arrive, but only received the will of Emperor Yanren to bring the father-in-law of Qi, the emperor was in the Taihe Hall tonight, but he came, so that the queen could sleep early.

The queen did not have the slightest annoyance, and very kindly ordered to serve tea to the princess of Qi, without asking why the emperor was so abnormal, the princess of Qi said that he would go back to serve the emperor, and respectfully said goodbye to the queen.

The queen had dinner as usual, entered the pool to take a bath under the service of the palace maid, closed her eyes and enjoyed the massage of the palace maid.

"Queen Mother, do you want the slave to inquire about one or two?" The big palace maid couldn't help but speak while massaging.

It may be because Emperor Yanren was taught by Emperor Taizu since childhood, and he didn't pay much attention to women, there were only one queen, two concubines and three concubines in the palace, and the draft had been stopped in the past ten years, although it was not as deep as Emperor Taizu's affection, but it was much better than the previous emperors, after all, it was rare to see a character like Emperor Taizu for a thousand years.

And Emperor Yanren respects his wife Queen Wang very much, and he also values the crown prince Li Chen very much, whether it is the relationship with Queen Wang for many years or the importance of the crown prince, he has never embarrassed Queen Wang.

Emperor Yanren now rests here for six or seven days a month, which is the most among all the concubines, not to mention the two specified times of the first and fifteenth days of the new year, there is never a situation that does not come, so today's situation is rare, no wonder the palace maid is nervous.

"Don't peep into the holy car! Have you forgotten? Although the queen still closed her eyes, the words she spit out were full of warnings and dissatisfaction, and the palace maid was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Forget it, know that you are faithful to the Lord. I'm tired, serve me and go to bed. The queen got up and stopped bathing, and under the service of the people around her, she lay down in the bed and closed her eyes to rest.

After a while, Queen Wang opened her eyes, looked at the bed tent embroidered with dragons and phoenixes above her head, and slowly exhaled. What is there to inquire about? It must be because of the eldest princess.

What can be discussed in the Taihe Palace is all about government affairs, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, why can she be respected by Emperor Yanren for decades, and even Concubine Peng De, who was once very favored by Emperor Yanren, did not dare to plunder her edge? That's because she is sober-minded, never crosses Emperor Yanren's bottom line, and behaves as her queen, otherwise her back seat will sit so steadily?

What's more, her Chen'er was taught by the eldest princess when she was a child, and Zhao Yuan grew up with Chen'er, and the two had a very close relationship. Not to mention that the eldest princess is still a loyal supporter of the lineage, the third emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty to the present, all of them are the eldest sons, and her Chen'er is also the same identity, she is also smart and stable, and she is very valued by Emperor Yanren and the eldest princess.

It's ridiculous that Concubine Peng De wanted to follow the path of the eldest princess with the favor of Emperor Yanren, but she didn't know that although the eldest princess loved the second son she gave birth to, she didn't like her as a concubine at all, that was because the second son of the emperor had the blood of the Li family's royal family, but she was a concubine, who didn't know that the eldest princess hated concubines very much?

Concubine Peng Defei still thinks that she is a heavenly immortal, and everyone will agree to her innocuous requests like Emperor Yan Ren? Queen Wang really wants to be grateful for everything Concubine Peng De has done, because Concubine Peng De's behavior angered the eldest princess, and the eldest princess, who didn't want to interfere, also entered the Taihe Palace to meet Emperor Yanren like today, so the holy decree of canonizing the crown prince came down the next day.

Although Empress Wang knew very well that the eldest princess certainly could not influence the choice of the prince of the country, presumably even if the eldest princess did not mention it, when the time came, Emperor Yanren would canonize Li Chen, who was the eldest son, as the crown prince.

But as the aunt who grew up with Emperor Yanren, her words have a lot of weight in Emperor Yanren. Empress Wang only vaguely knew that the eldest princess had told Emperor Yanren that the prince of the country needed to be determined early, so that some people would jump up and down restlessly, damaging Dayan's foundation.

In this way, Emperor Yanren's decree to canonize the crown prince was much earlier, and Concubine Peng De's favor gradually decreased from then on, and became the same as other concubines.

Queen Wang knew that Concubine Peng De had hated the eldest princess and the Zhao family to death since then, but so what? It's not every time you see the eldest princess, you have to smile.

Even if the eldest princess really has something, it won't involve their mother and son, so why bother mediocrity? Thinking of this, Queen Wang finally fell asleep peacefully.

[I'm sorry, it's late today, there are too many things today, and now it's finally been done.]

There is a small theater, I hope everyone can smile after watching it:

My friend went to Macau and asked her to help me bring a whitening essence, and wanted to ask her to bring it to me on the Mid-Autumn Festival, but her work was not available until the National Day...

So, I said, "Then I won't be beautiful for a few days?"

Ki You's sharp ried-back shot: When have you ever been beautiful?

I used an invincible advertising slogan: I'm beautiful...

Jiyou still doesn't change his cold nature: If stinky beauty is also a kind of beauty, I admit that you are quite beautiful...

Woo woo woo ~ It's also very difficult for me to have this kind of sharp friend, the nth failure against the big demon king, I want to eat a moon cake to be quiet~

PS: I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, a full moon, and complete happiness! 】
