Chapter 253: Rejection

"Why, you-"

The emperor sighed, Situ Huai killed the child, and screwed it when he lost his temper.

He vaguely remembered that year, when he was only seven or eight years old, he heard that the border pass had been broken and the people were displaced, so he immediately came to him and asked for help, saying that he wanted to lead troops to fight.

Guess that the older child is not as tall as the battle gun, so he wants to use weapons to kill the enemy.

Situ Qingchu was busy with the war in the previous dynasty at that time, but when he heard the words of his third son, he couldn't help laughing.

With a rare feeling of love and affection in his heart, he touched his son's head and asked him, "Why did you go to war?" ”

"Father, the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband."

The little children have just learned this sentence, so they use it flexibly.

Later, he sent someone to investigate, only to learn that there is this sentence in the "Theory of National Policy" taught by Master today.

The dignified king of a country has a little love in his eyes.

"But the army doesn't want you to be such a tall child, you can't even get on the horse now, isn't it a burden for the soldiers next to you?"

The emperor would not have agreed to him going, but he was the eyeball of Concubine Rou.

"Father, the son has long been able to get on the horse!"

Situ Huai knew that his father didn't believe it, so he was so anxious that he had to pull him to the racecourse and perform for him in person.

The emperor looked at the little turnip on the tall horse and couldn't help laughing.

Beside him is a master who teaches the princes martial arts, one for each prince.

"Well, my son is talented in martial arts?"

The master didn't think much about it, and said directly: "His Royal Highness the Third Prince was born to practice martial arts, and the techniques that others can't learn in ten days and half a month, His Highness can learn them in one day."

Listening to the master's words, Situ lightly hooked his lips with honor, and Situ Huai came from the war horse with a sweaty head, and came over to the emperor Situ.

"Father, do you think your sons can go to the battlefield?"

Looking at his son's shining big eyes full of desire to win, Situ couldn't smile lightly.

"Emperor, my father promised you, but you have to learn martial arts from your master, and when you grow taller than a horse, your father will let you go to the battlefield, how about it?"

"A gentleman's words are hard to chase."

"Okay, hahaha."

The memories of the past are vivid, looking at the son who knelt in front of him.

The emperor shook his head, a look of helplessness.

And Wen Qingqian's face turned white in an instant after hearing Situ Huai's words.

Situ Huai, is this a refusal to marry?

Not only Wen Qingqian, but after Wen Hongzhi listened, his face was also dark.

Wu Dehou has been observing Wen Hongzhi's face, and he is happy to see his black face.

Look at his daughter and the second prince Qin Se and Ming, you and me, his happy beard is up.

"Third child, you, hey." The emperor was really speechless.

just looked at Situ Huaiju, with a helpless face.

"Get up, since you have made up your mind, I will not force it."

Then he got up, excused himself for not being able to drink, and left the feast.

When he passed by Situ Huaiju's side, he also helped him up and patted him twice on the shoulder, as if he was struggling.

Then the emperor left.

And after the emperor left, Wen Hongzhi's face darkened.

Situ Qingchu's gaze swept over Wen Hong's face, and the corner of his mouth on the right side of his mouth was raised upward.

Wen Hongzhi, the feeling of self-inflicted suffering, isn't it?

That's right, the emperor did it on purpose.

Wen Hongzhi's recent small movements have not stopped, it is time to knock and knock, and he dares to collude with Mu Chi, which makes the emperor's heart even more angry.

When he passed by Wen Hongzhi, he snorted lightly and heavily.

And only then left.

Wen Hongzhi's heart was beating violently, and the cold snort went straight into his heart.

What did Your Majesty mean just now?

Knock yourself?

Wen Hongzhi sat down with his chest covered, as for his eldest daughter, who had a pale face and was looked at by everyone at will, he couldn't take care of it.

After the emperor left, it became the empress who coordinated the dynamics of the banquet.

However, the queen is generally hanging high in this kind of scene, and will not be mixed into the atmosphere of the courtiers.

Especially when I came to the banquet today, most of them were some military generals, all of them were five big and three thick, and the queen fell into her appetite when she saw it, and she was even more reluctant to talk to them more.

So, the clothes at the banquet were very pleasant, and Mu Wanshu would occasionally say a few words to the lady, and if there was a match, there was no match, and soon there was no voice.

After the emperor walked out, Su Dexi followed the emperor for many years, and he could see at a glance that the emperor had a good temperament today, even if he was choked twice by the third prince just now, but now the third prince is a treasure in the emperor's heart.

That's the magic weapon to win, and the emperor cherishes it now.

So along the way, Su Dexi was aggressive, praising the three princes to the point that there is nothing in heaven on earth.

Of course, this was still Situ lightly, and he suddenly asked about Su Dexi's influence on the third prince, of course Su Dexi was kind and deadly.

Seeing that the emperor was coaxed by him to smile, Su Dexi's heart was also relieved.

"Handsome and handsome, ambitious, and quite the style of the emperor back then", he praised energetically, Situ Qingchu's voice changed, and asked: "Su Dexi, who do you think is more capable of being the prince now?" ”

Su Dexi's mouth kept open, and his eyes gurgled.

This is what a little eunuch can put his beak, because standing behind the emperor, Su Dexi's face was wrinkled unscrupulously.

"Your Majestyβ€”"

His voice trembled, and he sounded like he was about to cry.

"Su Dexi, you have also been by my side for many years, and you are also an old man I trust, so you don't have any thoughts in your heart?"

Su Dexi pursed his lips and couldn't say anything.

"Your Majesty, this-"

"Okay, I don't know about your thoughts, I forgive you for your innocence, you can speak freely."

"Your Majesty, the slave thinks that all the princes have their own merits, and each of them has their own uniqueness, and the old slave is clumsy, and I really don't know who is more suitable."

Su Dexi thought about it and decided not to have a showdown.

You must know that the emperor's suspicious problem was present when he was young, when the emperor was still a prince, the personal eunuchs who served with him were often replaced, Su Dexi didn't understand it at that time, and when he knew all this, he had been transferred to Situ Qingchu's side to be his personal eunuch.

Then, he learned that the first two personal eunuchs of Situ Qingchu were dragged to the Shang Officials Bureau because of their mouths, and after knowing, he trembled twice, and from that day on, he began to pretend to be deaf and blind, and it was precisely because he knew the current affairs that he was not given death by the emperor, and he was able to be so beautiful in this palace.

Su Dexi swallowed, and he hung his head and waited for the verdict to be announced.

He knew that his answer was too perfunctory, and if the emperor was angry, he would also decide to pull him out of the cane and blame him, and it would not hurt his muscles and bones, but if he really said who he liked, I was afraid that what was waiting for him would be a loss of his head.

At such a time, he can still carry it.

When the emperor heard this, his brows furrowed, and a minion dared to perfunctory himself?

Although this minion should serve him for decades, he is also a minion, a minion who can be killed at will.

The emperor was about to get angry, when at this moment, behind the rockery not far away, a girl dressed as a palace maid suddenly walked out.

It was a dead end, and from the girl's point of view, it was impossible to see it.

But the emperor is relatively tall, and at a glance you can see that the palace maid is still carrying a basket, which also contains flowers from the imperial garden, and it seems that she came to pick flowers on the orders of the master.

The emperor didn't care, but soon, his eyes were fixed on the woman, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.

The woman's appearance.

The hair was curly or yellow, the complexion was extremely white, white and blemish-free, the nose was high, the eye sockets were deep, and even the eyeballs were blue.

It's a foreigner.

Situ Qingchu determined it as soon as possible.

This woman looks different from the girls of the Daling Dynasty, not only her appearance, but even her size, in the entire court, she is outstanding.

Su Dexi saw that the emperor was standing still, looking at one place, he was bold enough to raise his head slightly, and saw that the girl over there didn't notice this place at all, and that face was inexplicably familiar.

Sky!

Su Dexi exclaimed in his heart, this girl actually looks so similar to that one!

Su Dexi's heart was about to pop out, and he was even more nervous than the emperor asked him just now which prince was more suitable for the throne.

The emperor will not want to fight this palace maid.

Su Dexi guessed correctly, and the emperor pulled his legs and walked towards the woman.

Hearing the footsteps, the Gentile woman turned her head and saw the bright yellow Luan driving behind her, she hurriedly knelt down, the basket in her hand was crooked, and the flowers in it were scattered on the ground.

She didn't have time to support her and shouted: "The slave and maid disturb the holy driver, and ask the saint to forgive the sin." ”

Because she is a slave Sister Li, her front body is almost attached to the ground, her back waist is slightly pouted from the back to her hips, and her legs are very tight.

Because of the horror in her heart, her body trembled, but it was more like the petals of a flower watered by the wind and rain.

From Situ Qingchu's point of view, he can easily see this woman's figure at a glance.

Situ Qingzhen's eyes flashed.

When Su Dexi saw the emperor's eyes, his heart turned a thousand times, and he vaguely understood what the emperor meant.

So he hastened to ask, "Who are you, and what are you doing in this royal garden?" ”

Of course, the emperor can't surrender his identity to question a little palace maid, he has to come for such a rough job.

The palace maid suddenly heard the question, and immediately replied tremblingly: "The slave maid is the palace maid of Yanxi Palace, named Red Butterfly. ”

"But you just entered the palace?" Su Dexi then asked, this palace maid looks like this, if he stays in the palace for a long time, he can't have seen it.

"If you go back to the emperor, it's exactly."

"Are you on an errand in Yanxi Palace?" He didn't remember any concubines in Yanxi Palace.

"Your Majesty, there is still a noble person in Yanxi Palace." Su Dexi reminded in a low voice.

The emperor searched through himself, but he didn't find this person, so he left it behind.

"Su Dexi, transfer this palace maid to the Taihe Hall to serve me."

The emperor glanced at him, and Su Dexi understood in seconds.

Looking at the back of the emperor striding away, Su Dexi hurriedly said: "Didn't you hear? Don't hurry up yet. ’

The red butterfly hurriedly stood up from the ground, and her exotic face was panicked at the moment.

"Father-in-law Su, slave maid, slave maid still has to send flowers to the mother, this flower."

"The emperor has called you over, what flowers do you send, don't hurry up, you don't want your life?"

Su Dexi began to threaten.

The red butterfly panicked and followed the holy Luan.

As for the basket that was still straddled in Chi Die's hand just now, it was ruthlessly stepped on by Su Dexi.

As for the noble man who was not favored and was like an invisible person, Su Dexi just found someone to go over and inform him.

Red Butterfly's name is also recorded on the roster of palace maids of the Internal Affairs Office, and Su Dexi is too lazy to let people change it, anyway, if nothing else, this Red Butterfly will soon become a mother, and his identity naturally doesn't need him to meddle in his affairs.

It's just that I don't know how long this red butterfly girl can attract the emperor's pity?

Without a strong family to rely on, can she grow up to be the master who controls the absolute position like Concubine Rui?

Su Dexi hummed and followed.

Chidie followed the steps of her boss Tu Qing, and several eunuchs behind the emperor consciously made a way for her.

"Girl, go over quickly."

The sharp-eyed little eunuch whispered.

Chidie tugged at the corners of her clothes, just behind Situ Qingzhu, she didn't know that she was worshiped as the saint of the gods, and the curvature of the corners of her mouth revealed a trace of ill will.

At the gate of the Taihe Palace, she froze. Although she has never been here, she knows that when she first entered the palace, the grandmother also said that this is a forbidden area in the palace, and it is the emperor's bedroom, and even the queen and the harem concubines can stay here.

Staring at the three big golden characters "Taihe Palace" on the plaque, Chidie always took a step forward.

But Situ Qingchu didn't know when to turn around, and was staring at her with burning eyes.

Red Butterfly's eyes flashed with panic, and she subconsciously knelt down,

But he was dragged in with a strong force.

This whole night, she never went out of the Taihe Hall again.
