Chapter 269: Small Card Game

The prince is coming?

Wang Xiao was indeed a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he also understood.

The East Palace gave a banquet on behalf of the Son of Heaven, if he didn't come forward, it would be too unsuccessful in the eyes of His Majesty.

It was precisely because he was coming that he deliberately released a rumor that Donggong was sick and couldn't come. This is probably the so-called real is imaginary, and virtual is real.

The question is, has the second brother reached this point?

Wang Xiao turned his head and glanced at Wang Zhu, only to see that Wang Zhu's face was not shocked, and he couldn't see the slightest clue.

The kung fu of nourishing qi is very good.

Wang Zhen glanced up at the sky, said that he would rush back to the ancestral hall of the Wang family to make an evening sacrifice, and asked his younger brothers not to neglect the guests.

A gentle and generous look.

Wang Xiao was slandered in his heart, big brother, you don't want to run away, right?

The princess's mansion is about to set up an incense case to prepare for the order, and Wang Xiao is arranged to change clothes.

Stripped off the solemn court clothes used to worship the temple in the morning, he changed into an auspicious dress, and he already had a python belt around his waist.

This kind of thing that symbolizes identity, only when you wear it can you feel that honor.

Tying the python jade belt, the young man couldn't help but laugh at himself softly: "What is Gucci in comparison......"

"Whoa? What is it? Someone suddenly asked.

Wang Xiao was taken aback: "How can you ...... Peeking at me changing clothes?! ”

"you. Isn't there a lot of people somewhere else? Qin Xiaozhu's bright eyes swept over him, and said, "I'm a little taller, and I'm a little thinner." ”

Wang Xiao's gaze also swept over her, and said, "You are plump." ”

"You don't talk nonsense!" Qin Xiaozhu was a little angry and stepped forward to fight.

Wang Xiao hurriedly said: "I'm joking, I want to talk about you...... White, white. ”

"Lao Tzu is not in vain, you know."

The two hadn't seen each other for a few days, but the familiarity between the words came back, and it was a joke.

"As soon as Qin Xiaozhu outside Shanhaiguan came out, he was a good man again."

"Ha, it's the same as coming out of prison......"

After a while, Wang Xiao thought about his thoughts, and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Do you know the prince?" How scheming is he? ”

Qin Xiaozhu said: "I don't know much, I only heard Chunning say a sentence, it seems to be 'Donggong used to be ambitious, but I didn't expect to lose my mind in three or four years' or something." ”

As he spoke, the ceremonial officer was already urging Wang Xiao outside the door.

Qin Xiaozhu didn't stay long, and dropped the sentence "I'll come to you to play with Chunning at night" and disappeared as soon as he turned over the beam.

Wang Xiao was speechless.

What to play......

~~

Here, Wang Xiao led Wang Zhu and Su Mingxuan to greet them. I saw a group of eunuchs and guards holding the moon and arching a man in a grand crown dress past the princess's mansion, presumably Zhou Zhao, with a pale face and a sloppy gaze, showing that he was seriously ill and had not recovered.

After the incense case, a small yellow door read out the will, and the content was probably that His Majesty praised the Wang family in public, mainly to praise Wang Xiao's father and brother for teaching this child with good character and good heart. He also rewarded Wang Xiao for going to study in the Guozijian after marriage, which is the practice of this dynasty.

Then there was the queen mother's decree, which focused on praising the eldest sister-in-law Tao Wenjun for running the family during Cui's 'serious illness', so that the attached horse did not forget the grace of parenting.

No one cares how hard Tao Wenjun and Cui's fight behind this edict is, and in the midst of the festivity, Wang Xiao received the decree with a sad face.

I still have to go to Guozijian to study?! It's best for the second brother to kill this nasty prince today.

Isn't it happier to follow Qianqian to rebel than studying......

After reading the holy edict, the crown prince Zhou Zhao was led into the hall by Wang Kang to rest, and also followed a team of guards inside.

He is very cautious about the safety of his life.

This made Wang Xiao muttered a little in his heart.

"Attached to the horse." Suddenly, someone said hello.

Wang Xiao turned his head to look, and saw that the man who greeted him had a handsome middle-aged face, which was very familiar.

Isn't this the Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple who framed himself during the imperial trial, what is it called...... Wen Rongxin.

Did I send you a wedding post? You're here.

With a smile in his heart, an eager smile appeared on Wang Xiao's face, and he hurriedly saluted: "Lord Wen." ”

It's like a very kind friend.

"Don't call it that, the lower official just came with his brother to watch the ceremony today." Wen Rongxin said with a smile: "This is my brother Rong Xiu, who served as Zhan Shi of the East Palace, and came here with His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

"Lord Wen." Wang smiled and saluted Wen Rong again.

"These two are my brothers." As soon as Wang Xiao heard about the affairs of the East Palace, he didn't bother to introduce it carefully, so he said vaguely, and said with emotion: "My cousin specially came from Huguang. ”

When they saw each other, they were all like a spring breeze, a group of harmony, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

"Do you want to eat dried meat?"

"Haha, if you want to get some snacks, you will send the guests away, and the lower officials are still waiting to eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas on the table......"

"The two adults might as well eat some walnut kernels," Su Mingxuan handed two packets of walnut kernels to the Wen family brothers, and said with a smile: "Let's pad some stomachs first, and then go and arrange a banquet for the two adults." ”

The walnut kernel entrance is actually a little delicious, Wen Rongxiu raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "This cousin of Fuma is also a person who knows how to eat." ”

Wang Xiao was also a little impressed by Su Mingxuan.

is neither humble nor arrogant, and has the same interests as himself.

- Then you don't want to go back to Huguang.

While talking and laughing, Wang Xiao seemed to glance at Wang Zhu a few times inadvertently, but he was still calm, and he didn't even glance at the hall where Zhou Zhao was.

Wang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

His little action fell in Wen Rongxin's eyes......

At this time, the four men stood together, each holding some information, but none of them were comprehensive. It seems to be a card game, everyone looks at the killing moves in their hands, and they don't know what hole cards the opponent has.

I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain.

The atmosphere was nice and festive. But under the calm of the waves, the stakes in this game are their life's worth and future.

Wang Zhu and Wen Rongxiu talked and laughed a few more words, their eyes calm.

- Donggong Zhan Shi? Your prince is my prey. You made Zhou Zhao sick, but I knew he would come. Do you know? There was a secret passage under the house......

Wen Rongxin looked at Wang Zhu's calm face, raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.

- Wang Zhu, you are destined to lose to me, not in wisdom, but in the fact that each other is not on the same level. It's a pity that for more than three years, you didn't know I was staring at you......

Wang Xiao looked at Wen Rongxin's burning gaze and was taken aback.

- This Lord Wen stares at the second brother like this, won't he like him......

~~

"Let's go, it's time to pay homage to the prince." Wen Rongxiu said with a smile,

Now that the cold noise has passed, and the small bag of walnut kernels in my hand has been eaten, it is time to get down to business.

"Okay." Wang Zhu nodded and straightened his clothes.

Wen Rongxin stretched out his hand and picked out a small walnut kernel from Wen Rongxiu's beard, and said lightly: "Big brother can still fall into his beard if he eats something, what kind of physique will he see the prince when he meets him?" ”

When Wang Xiao saw Wen Rongxin's expression, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, his expression and tone were too similar to the second brother......

The next moment, many thoughts in his mind suddenly exploded.

"Zheng Yuanhua has a heart of regent."

"Donggong used to be ambitious, but I didn't expect to lose my mind in three or four years."

"All I saw was that he kept missing."

"Choosing a horse? Wang Zhu is such a powerful means. ”

East Palace Zhan Shi, Taili Temple Zuo Shaoqing......

How do they know?!

They actually knew who the murderer of the crown prince was, and they had deliberately failed to trigger it for so many years......
