In the west corner of the warm pavilion stands a unicorn-shaped copper tripod.

The top silver charcoal was burning in the ding, and the warmth was slowly flowing in the room.

Except for the low chirping of the crickets, it was quiet.

Emperor Yuan Cheng looked at Ji Mo with a smile, his eyes flashing with gossip.

Ji Mo's slender fingers gently wrapped around the long hair hanging down his temples, and his rose-colored lips were gently raised.

He smiled and said, "Uncle Huang is really good at telling jokes, in addition to Qi Wu being uglier and darker than others, I really don't know what is different, what do you want me to say?" ”

"Oh." Emperor Yuan Cheng suddenly responded, and then asked, "So, Xiao Jiu doesn't like her?" ”

"What do you say, Uncle Huang?" Ji Mo raised his eyebrows and asked, but did not answer.

"That's definitely not like it, our Xiaojiu has good looks, wealth, and family background, how can you like that kind of ugly girl." Emperor Yuan Cheng patted his thigh vigorously and praised Ji Mo.

When will Uncle Huang be more serious?

The corners of Ji Mo's eyes couldn't help twitching.

After Emperor Yuan Cheng praised Ji Mo, he patted him on the shoulder again, and said earnestly, "Xiao Jiu, don't worry, I will definitely help you choose a princess with both talent and appearance to match you."

As for Qi Wu, because she is too ugly, I suspect that she will not be able to choose a son-in-law in the future, and maybe there is a danger that she will not be able to marry.

For the sake of Qi Wu's father's dedication to the court, I will also help her choose a good husband for a while, and I must not let Qi Aiqing be sad and embarrassed.

Xiao Jiu, do you think my idea is very good, Qi Aiqing will definitely be grateful. Right? ”

Ji Mo's back molars were secretly grinded.

He didn't look at Emperor Yuan Cheng, stared at the golden bowl and said, "Uncle Huang, you are thinking too much. If you have this kung fu to worry about other people's daughters' relatives, it's better to worry about your black general quickly. ”

The smooth and slender fingers tapped the golden bowl.

"Ahh Emperor Yuan Cheng looked at the golden bowl in shock and shouted loudly.

I saw Ji Mo's unsightly little worm, suddenly jumped up, stretched out his beard, and accurately bit the head of General Hei.

The seemingly mighty Black General had no power to resist. Let the little insects bite to death.

"Lost!" Ji Mo raised his eyebrows happily, "Uncle Huang, you are slowly sad." I'll have to go back first. ”

As he spoke, he put his little worm in the golden wire cage and got up to leave first.

Emperor Yuan Cheng looked at the dying and struggling black general in the golden bowl, and wanted to cry. My heart hurts.

Little Nine, Little Nine. You're so ruthless.

Just because of a joke I said, you actually killed the black general.

It's not that you dislike other people's five girls, I said that on purpose, I want to see how you react.

How innocent the black general is!

Emperor Yuan Cheng pretended to wipe the corners of his eyes, then sighed again, took out the black general who was already dying, from the golden bowl, and wrapped it in paper.

Alas, black general, black general. You died because of Qi Wu, and you wait. Someday I will take revenge on you.

Xiao Jiu, you can pretend to me, and see how long you can last!

Emperor Yuan Cheng raised the corners of his lips and smiled.

Everyone said that he spoiled Xiao Jiu too much, and also said that Xiao Jiu was spoiled, but in fact, everyone was wrong.

Everyone knows the saying that the height is not cold, but a few people can understand the sadness.

Just because he is the emperor who holds the power of life and death of all living beings, no one dares to be dissatisfied with him, he is wrong and right, and his wife and children flatter him with great flattery, for fear of offending him and falling out of favor.

Their thoughtfulness and gentleness, filial piety and respect for him are all based on interests, and who is sincere to him?

The courtiers trembled even more when they faced him, and walked on thin ice every day, fearing that they would accidentally offend him or provoke him, so that their lives would be at risk.

Isn't there a saying that a companion is like a tiger?

Alas, in their eyes, he is a tiger that will get angry and eat people at any time, and everyone will stay away.

But he is also a human being, and he also has the normal needs of ordinary people, who need family affection and friends.

His princes are in awe of him, not close!

Every time I talked to them, they responded cautiously, but they were always thinking about his thoughts, seeing them like this, where was he still interested in talking.

Only Xiao Jiu only treats him as an uncle rather than the emperor, and gets along with him like a father and son of ordinary people, never hiding his joys, sorrows, and sorrows, so that he really enjoys the joy of family.

And his Xiao Jiu won't be spoiled either!

Emperor Yuan Cheng's eyes were deep and distant.

At this moment, the atmosphere in Xu's Mansion was solemn and depressing.

“…… It's too much of a deception! It's really angry old man. ”

After Taishi Xu came back, he slapped the table and roared three times in a row, and the deception was too great, and his fist almost collapsed the black lacquered square table.

Xu Jincheng stood aside, not even daring to come out.

My father has always been low-key and introverted, his emotions have never been exposed, and he has never seen him lose his temper like this.

It seems that my father was angry with the saints.

Could it be that Ji Mo insulted our Xu family so much, and the saint didn't care?

His father was angry, he didn't dare to ask for details, and he didn't dare to come forward to persuade him, so he could only wait silently for his father to calm down.

When the father loses his temper, whoever persuades him is unlucky.

After a long time, Taishi Xu gradually calmed down, and his breath stabilized a little.

But a pair of eyes are still shrouded in haze.

Xu Jincheng hurriedly served a cup of hot tea to his father, "Father, you calm your anger first, and drink tea to quench the fire." ”

Xu Taishi took the teacup, drank the tea, and then slammed the teacup on the ground.

The crisp cracking sound of porcelain made the maids outside the door shrink their necks, and they didn't even dare to come out.

Xu Jincheng hung his head and asked softly, "Father, what did the Holy Lord say?" ”

Mrs. Xu's eyes slid over a grim look, and he said in a deep voice, "He said that this is a joke between the children, so the old man should not take it to heart." ”

"That's it...... That's it? Xu Jincheng was stunned.

"Just one sentence, and the old man was sent away." Taishi Xu's voice became calmer and calmer, and the chill around him became colder and colder.

Xu Jincheng couldn't believe his ears.

The son has suffered such a big grievance, and the Xu family can be said to have lost face in front of all the guests, even if you don't punish Ji Mo, you should comfort your father, right?

Holy no!

Is it that the saint favors Ji Mo too much, or does the saint no longer trust our Xu family because of his father?

Xu Jincheng asked his father worriedly, "Father, what do you think of the attitude of the saints." ”

"Hmph, he's just confused, and he's been fooled by a yellow-mouthed child." Xu Taishi snorted coldly and unceremoniously despised Emperor Yuan Cheng.

After a while, he said to Xu Jincheng again, "You go and call Erlang, I want to ask him a few words." ”

Xu Jincheng left in response.

The little maidens hurried in to clean up the debris on the ground, and then quietly retreated.

Xu Taishi's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and his expression was uncertain.

After a moment's silence, he walked quickly to the bookcase, spread out a blank piece of paper, picked up a pen and wrote a few words quickly, and then sealed the paper.

He snapped his fingers, and a man dressed in black appeared beside him like a ghost.

"Send this to the old place." Master Xu handed the letter in his hand to the man in black and commanded in a low voice.

The man in black didn't speak, just lowered his body and nodded.

Then he disappeared like a ghost again.

After another quarter of an hour, Xu Jincheng brought Xu Che over. (To be continued......)
