Chapter 40: Touching Her with Love
When he met Wang Xiao's gaze before, Hu Shanxiang was really frightened.
However, Wang Xiao didn't care about continuing to drink tea and eat snacks, but it calmed down her deer's mind.
"Does he remember me?"
During the Battle of Jingjing, Yingtiancheng was broken, Hu Shanxiang and Sun Ruowei were separated and rescued by Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Gaochi. After that, he was sent to Hu Shangyi to raise it until now.
For Zhu Zhanji, this matter has long been forgotten, but Hu Shanxiang has never forgotten it for a moment.
Hu Shangyi walked in with a group of palace maids carrying food boxes. The small table was soon filled with a variety of fine food and drink.
Wang Xiao didn't talk nonsense, picked up the chopsticks and ate them.
"That's right, Hu Shangyi." Wang Xiao picked up a piece of green bamboo shoot and threw it into his mouth, and bit it with a rattling sound: "I remember that ten years ago, my father and I sent a little girl to you to raise, is it still there?" ”
Hu Shanxiang, who heard this, raised his throat and eyes, and then saw Hu Shangyi winking at her.
Hu Shanxiang, whose heart was pounding, came to Wang Xiao and saluted, "Slave Hu Shanxiang, thank His Royal Highness Taisun for saving his life." ”
"Oh, it's you. It's all grown so big. Wang Xiao smiled and nodded, "Get up." ”
Hu Shanxiang is Sun Ruowei's heart knot, even the biggest heart knot. The sisters turned against each other, and it was definitely a lifetime of regret and pain for Sun Ruowei. What Wang Xiao wants to do is to change the fate of this woman.
There are many reasons for Hu Shanxiang's blackening, and the root cause is that she wants to run for the grandson's show girl.
For her, Wang Xiao is ready to use his own stick, phew! It's love! It's love! It's to touch her with love! Let her embark on the road of falling in love with her sister.
"Are you doing?"
Hu Shanxiang, who lowered his head, trembled a little excitedly, "The slave is taken care of by my aunt, and she is doing well." ”
Wang Xiao put down his chopsticks after eating, got up and left, "If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can come to the East Palace to find me." After all, acquaintance is also fate. ”
"The slave and maid send the grandson." Hu Shanxiang, whose heart was filled with endless joy, knelt down and saluted.
Wang Xiao, who returned to the East Palace, was finally able to sleep well, and today he had solved several extremely important things.
Sun Ruoweijing is difficult to leave the hidden danger of orphan identity, the hidden danger of the crown prince Zhu Gaochi's body, and the hidden danger of Hu Shanxiang being coerced by the King of Han.
With these things out of the way, things are much smoother.
The next day, Wang Xiao went to the Imperial Prison to see the orphans who were caught assassinating Zhu Di. Tell Jinyi Wei to take care of them, and they must not die.
When he returned to the East Palace and was about to go to the Qinhuai River to attend the meeting, there was an uninvited guest in the prince's mansion.
"Second uncle."
The Han King in front of him looks majestic and dignified. The momentum cultivated in the army for many years is even more aggressive.
When he came in, the king of Han was arguing with the crown prince.
Seeing Wang Xiao, Han King Zhu Gaoxu dropped his sleeves, "Big nephew, Hou Taina went?" ”
Wang Xiao smiled and saluted, "Hou Tai died of an emergency, and he was buried last night." The second uncle has something to do with him? ”
King Han laughed, "What am I looking for him, just ask." ”
"Hou Tai has the epidemic, if the second uncle has been in contact with him, you have to be careful."
In this world, King Han is a proper big boss.
For the sake of the throne, not only did he assassinate the crown prince Zhu Gaochi early, but also colluded with foreign races outside the Great Wall to try to kill him during Zhu Di's Northern Expedition so that he could ascend the throne.
As for the use of Jingnan orphans, colluding with the inner palace and coercing the queen, they are all trivial matters, and they are not worth mentioning at all.
Zhu Gaoxu squinted his eyes and looked at Wang Xiao, "Okay, the eldest nephew has a heart." ”
When the king of Han left, the crown prince stepped forward, "Why bother to stimulate him so much." ”
Wang Xiao bowed his hand, "Always let him know that we are not soft persimmons, and think more about it when thinking of any tricks." The province has been making small movements all day long, and if you don't get annoyed by him, you have to be disgusted to death by him. ”
"Hey." The broad-hearted and fat prince picked up the white-haired pavilion scholar who was screaming on the ground, "I'm not annoyed, but you're impatient first." Where are you going with all the bells and whistles? ”
Wang Xiao sorted out his clothes with a smile, "I made an appointment with a girl for tea." ”
The prince laughed and stretched out his hand to point at him, "Your grandfather took away all the memorals and military reports during my time in prison yesterday. I'm tired of working like this, and your grandfather still doesn't trust me. You don't want to solve my problems, but you want to go out and hook up with girls. I've written the resign from the crown prince's office. ”
Looking at the prince with a sad face, Wang Xiao smiled. waved his hand to back away, stepped forward and whispered in Zhu Gaochi's ear, "Do you remember what the old man's biggest heart problem is?" He was afraid that your brothers would have another battle of appeasement. The second uncle is using this to stimulate the old man's suspicions. ”
"The second uncle is thoughtful, and he is exactly the same as the old man. Dad, you are benevolent, which is exactly what the old man does not have. Although the old man is suspicious of you brothers, he won't do anything. Dad, you have to know that the old man is the emperor. As long as it is the emperor, any one of them is suspicious. An emperor who is not suspicious is not a good emperor. Dad, as long as you have a clear conscience and don't be impatient, you can wait for the succession with peace of mind. ”
Zhu Gaochi looked at Wang Xiao in disbelief: "Who did you learn these things from?" Although your grandfather spoiled you and taught you personally, he would never tell you this. This is the Emperor's Mental Technique. ”
In later generations, this is all rotten street stuff on the Internet, that is, people in this era have little information contact and don't know.
"Innate, who let us be born emperors."
Wang Xiao stepped back, walked to the gate and waved with a smile, "Dad, I'm going to meet the girl." ”
"Hey!" Zhu Gaochi stomped his feet and beckoned, "Which girl, you come back for me to make it clear!" ”
Both sides of the Qinhuai River are the most prosperous areas in Yingtianfu. There are many shops on both sides, and tourists are blazing.
Listening to the rain pavilion built on the bank of the Qinhuai River has three floors, and the carved beams and paintings look extremely atmospheric and beautiful.
Wang Xiao came to the door with the brocade guard, and the subordinates who had already come over to arrange hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Don't worry about how many suspicious people come later, these little shrimps are not worth doing."
"Yes."
The brocade guards retreated, and Wang Xiao went up to the third floor alone. came to sit by the guardrail, calmly looking at the Qinhuai River under his feet.
After a lot of effort, Sun Ruowei stood on the bow of a flower boat and leaned over. glanced at Wang Xiao and walked up.
Wang Xiao greeted at the top of the stairs, "Miss Sun is really true to her word, please." ”
Sun Ruowei, who was dressed in men's clothes, came to the table and sat down, "My lord warmly invites, I dare not come." It's just that I don't know the adult's name yet. ”
Wang Xiao picked up the wine jug and poured two glasses of wine, leaned forward and whispered in Sun Ruowei's ear, "My surname is Zhu Zhanji, a person from Shuntianfu." ”
Sun Ruowei, whose ears were red because of Wang Xiao's proximity before, suddenly raised his head and stared at him.
Maybe ordinary people don't know this name, but Sun Ruowei is an orphan of Jingnan and a mortal enemy of the Zhu family. Of course, Zhu Di, the grandson who values him very much, knows it.
"I've already said it, dare to ask the girl's name, where is it?"
Sun Ruowei lowered his head and clenched his fists, and finally calmed down his good mood before responding in a low voice, "My surname is Sun Ruowei, a native of Shandong." ”
"Sun Ruowei." Wang Xiao sat on the chair and played with the wine glass in his hand, "Good name." ”
"I wonder what the adults mean by calling the little girl here?"
Wang Xiao drank the wine in the cup and looked at her with burning eyes, "Are you really called Sun Ruowei?" ”
Sun Ruowei was shocked in her heart, and looked away, "How can the name taken by my father and mother be fake." ”
"yes, my father's name." Wang Xiao picked up the wine jug and continued to pour wine: "Does the girl know about the Battle of Jingjing?" ”
Sun Ruowei lowered his head deeply, "No one in the world knows it." ”
"Yes, everyone in the world knows it. The people of the old Zhu family fought for the world, but so many innocent people were implicated. ”
"Innocent?" Sun Ruowei looked up at Wang Xiao, her face full of incredulity, "You say they are innocent?" ”
In Sun Ruowei's view, Wang Xiao, as the emperor's grandson, is a proper beneficiary. How could he avenge the defeat of his subordinates.
"In my opinion, if you win the war, you can depose those who are loyal to Emperor Jianwen and are unwilling to surrender. Why do you need to put such a heavy hand. It's a pity that I was young and didn't have the right to speak. ”
Hearing Wang Xiao admit his identity, Sun Ruowei's heart was flustered.
"Come, drink."
Sun Ruowei drank a glass of wine and asked cautiously, "You, is it Taisun?" ”
"What grandson." Wang Xiao then poured wine, "It's all nonsense, and it's not officially canonized." ”
Sun Ruowei tried to calm the agitated emotions: "Why did Taisun come to me?" ”
Wang Xiao took the chopsticks to eat the food, and gestured to the empty wine glass on the side, "I went to the Imperial Prison in the morning and met those assassins. ”
Sun Ruo, who was pouring wine, shook his hand and spilled it directly, and asked eagerly, "How are they?" ”
"They are all good men with iron bones. Although he was sentenced, none of them confessed. ”
Sun Ruo sat down with a sad expression.
"Drink and drink." Wang Xiao beckoned Sun Ruowei to drink, "Don't worry, although they have suffered some flesh and skin, their lives will not be lost for the time being." ”
Sun Ruowei, who drank a glass of wine, looked at Wang Xiao suspiciously, "Assassinate the king, can you still not die?" ”
"These assassins are just pawns in someone else's hands."
Wang Xiao looked at her calmly, "How did so many people enter the city, and where did the weapons and crossbow arrows they use come from." It's a crossbow bolt, and no one can get it. ”
In ancient times, the people were allowed to possess weapons, such as hunters and arrows.
But crossbow arrows are proper military supplies, and like armor, people are absolutely not allowed to keep them private.
Sun Ruowei laughed self-deprecatingly: "You called me to want to know who is behind the scenes?" ”
"Nonsense."
Wang Xiao shook the empty wine jug, "I want to do things, why use women." I'll check the identity of the person behind the scenes, and there's nothing in the world that I can't do. ”
Sun Ruo looked at him puzzled, "Then what are you looking for me to do?" ”
Wang Xiao rubbed his chin and hooked the corners of his mouth, "Look at your beauty, I want to be close to you." ”
Sun Ruowei blushed suddenly.
"The wine is gone, another jug."
Xiao Er soon sent another pot of wine, and Sun Ruowei touched the wine pot with a panicked expression, as if he was struggling for something.
"If I become the emperor one day, I will definitely pardon those orphans."
Wang Xiao's words made Sun Ruo's delicate body tremble slightly, and he looked at him in disbelief.
"Pour the wine." Wang Xiao reached out and lit the wine jug meaningfully.
Sun Ruowei struggled for a moment, and his eyes gradually became firmer, "What you said is true?" ”
"Pour the wine first."
Sun Ruowei didn't pour the wine, but put away the wine jug, "You said that you are the grandson, how can you prove it?" ”
Wang Xiao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, you didn't pour me the poisonous wine of the Eight Treasures Turning Heart Pot." ”
got up and came to the panicked Sun Ruowei and took her hand, "I'll prove it to you now." ”
