Chapter 26: Gifts
Situ Huaibo didn't feel embarrassed, he seemed to have forgotten that Qu Miaoling had said that he didn't like tea, he got up and gave Qu Miaoling a cup, and said enthusiastically: "Sister Miaoling, try it, you must like it, it's suitable for your daughter's family to drink." ”
Looking at the attentive Situ Huaibo, Min Jie's eyes flashed, this man, he heard that Situ Huaibo was interested in Miao Ling, but Miao Ling had rejected him so many times, why was he so thick-skinned.
Don't you want the face of the prince and the king?
Min Jie secretly gritted his teeth, looking at the tea in front of him, Qu Miaoling's eyes flashed, she would never drink it, and the atmosphere froze instantly.
Seeing that Situ Huaibo's face was getting darker and darker, Situ Huaizhu took the teacup and drank it all.
After drinking, he said: "Thank you for the tea, the weather is too hot, and there was too much food just now, and there is some food accumulation." ”
This explanation did not satisfy Situ Huaibo, "Second brother, what are you doing!" ”
Situ Huai looked at him innocently, "Second Emperor Brother, it's just a cup of tea, as for it?" ”
Situ Huaiyong followed and accosted, "Second Emperor Brother, Third Emperor Brother is just thirsty, there is no need to make a fuss!" ”
Situ Huaibo glanced at the two imperial brothers, and suddenly laughed loudly, "It's just a cup of tea, what are you nervous about, anyway, Sister Miaoling doesn't like to drink tea, so it's cheaper for the second brother." ”
The table was turbulent, but Qu Miaoling glanced at Situ Huaizhu beside her vaguely, she naturally knew that he was relieving herself just now.
She couldn't help pinching the corner of the table under the table, and this man saved him again.
Why does he always help her?
Qu Miaoling was puzzled.
But now this time obviously doesn't allow her to think of anything else, and Situ Huaibo's attack has begun again.
"Sister Miaoling, I forgot to ask you the last time we met, how were you doing in Wude Houfu? I heard that Mrs. Hou has a good reputation in the circle, so I didn't treat you harshly! ”
"Of course not, my mother treated me very well."
Qu Miaoling lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to the eye on the surface throughout the whole process, but in fact, he didn't even bother to give him a look.
Situ Huaibo didn't care, he took a sip of tea and continued: "Last time, I gave you a reward at the behest of my father, and there were a lot of women's ornaments there, why haven't you brought them?" Dislike? ”
What do you like or dislike about the things sent by the emperor?
Qu Miaoling was instantly alert, what did he mean?
"Miao Ling is happy about the gift given by Uncle Huang, but the weather is hot, and those complicated ornaments are not worn, presumably Uncle Huang will understand."
"That's natural, Sister Miao Ling is the most favored county lord of my father!"
Situ Huaibo said with a smile.
After a while of coming and going with Qu Miaoling, Situ Huaibo turned the spearhead, and he said to Situ Huai: "Three emperors, my father rewarded the eldest brother, but I didn't reward you, you didn't feel uncomfortable!" ”
"The emperor's brother doesn't dare, my father has his own reasons for doing things, and he doesn't dare to intervene."
"It's good that you can think like this, the eldest brother was frightened at the palace banquet a few days ago, and he broke his foot, you don't know, how dangerous it was at that time, the assassin was originally aiming for the emperor, but the eldest brother fell and knocked the assassin down, can the father not reward him?"
Situ Huaibo glanced at Situ Huaiju's face and continued: "But the third emperor is also a hero, the imperial brother knows, you also protected your father, but who made the eldest imperial brother weak, and the father sympathized with him, you should also understand." ”
"What the second emperor brother said is, but the emperor brother has never meant to compare with the eldest emperor brother."
"It's good over there, it's His Highness who is too worried." Situ Huaibo shook his fan and said.
After Situ Huaibo drank tea, he said: "My father called me into the palace yesterday and asked me to build a mansion for the eldest emperor's brother, and also said that he would be promoted to the prince, I don't know what my brother thinks?" ”
"Huai Jue is naturally happy to guard the eldest imperial brother, isn't the second imperial brother?" Situ Huaizhu began to fight back.
Situ Huaibo was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.
"What can His Royal Highness think, the eldest brother has made meritorious contributions to protecting the emperor, and he deserves to be rewarded." He said this, but his heart was a little anxious.
He used to think that the eldest prince was a sick man, and there was no possibility of inheriting the unification, but now he found that the eldest brother had a very high position in his father's heart, and he himself was leading the errand in the household department, and he took people to control the flood last year, which won the hearts of the people.
In case the emperor appoints Situ Huaili as the crown prince, then won't everything he has planned be empty!
He absolutely did not allow it.
Barely suppressing the anger in his heart, Situ Huaibo poured another cup of tea.
He lowered his head slightly, and the strands of hair on his sideburns fell down, making it difficult to see his expression.
Suddenly, he thought of a little bit again, his father was such a great prince, and he also gave him the title of prince, but none of the people who have always been crowned princes have become emperors!
It's like the current emperor, he was the most inconspicuous at that time, he didn't even have the title of a county king, and in the end, he was not crowned the crown prince?
Thinking about it like this, Situ Huaibo felt a lot better.
But he can't be careless, he must make a move when it's time to make a move, and he must do a good job in his errands, his mother was born as a palace maid and has a humble status, and his mother can't provide him with much help at all, he can only rely on himself.
But he looked at the brothers opposite, and couldn't help but hate in his heart, he was also a prince, and it was really important whether his mother was noble or not. It's like Situ Huaiju, it is clear that her mother is also dead, but as long as the emperor still remembers Concubine Rou in his heart, Situ Huaiju will not fall out of favor for a day.
Just because he crawled out of that woman's belly!
Although Situ Huaizhu is not interested in the throne now, who can guarantee that he will not be interested in the throne in the future?
Moreover, who knows whether his indifference and freedom is true or false?
Situ Huaibo's eyes flashed with calculation, no, he must move faster than several princes, it will be the relocation banquet of the eldest prince soon, what will he send?
He heard that his two good brothers were already thinking about giving gifts, and the people under him reported that they had specially bought heavy gifts from foreign merchants, and no one else had seen them.
But—
The eldest prince has never liked luxury, and he must not be happy when he sees expensive gifts!
Thinking so, Situ Huaibo raised his head and saw Qu Miaoling looking at Situ Huaiju, and Situ Huaiju's eyes were also staring directly at Qu Miaoling.
Situ Huaibo's heart tightened, these two people would not ......
He hurriedly interrupted the two of them's "eyebrow flirtation": "Second brother, when the eldest brother's prince's mansion is completed, let's go to drink together." ”
"Drink, okay, I'll go!" When Situ Huaiyong heard the wine, his eyes were cold.
He leaned sideways and grabbed Situ Huaiju's sleeve, "Third brother, let's go, it just so happens that the eldest brother is sick, let's go see him!" ”
Situ Huaizhu was a little hesitant, he always felt that this matter was not so simple.
"Okay, I'll call you all together when the time comes."
At this time, Situ Huaiyong did not speak.
He didn't want to ignore Situ Huaibo.
Situ Huaibo didn't care, "Third brother, what housewarming gift are you going to give, let's hear about it?" ”
"Why do you know?" Situ Huai choked.
"What do you mean!" Situ Huaibo blew his beard and stared, his eyes were as wide as copper bells.
"It's not interesting, I just don't want to go with you!"
"Second brother, don't get me wrong."
"Don't I get me wrong? Look at the expression of the sixth brother, and then look at what he said, did I misunderstand? ”
Situ Huaiju looked at his younger brother, and saw that the other party made a grimace, and then sat honestly without looking up.
Situ Huai had a headache.
"Hmph, there are things that are not taught by mothers! Do you understand the etiquette of respect and inferiority! ”
Situ Huaiyong was also angry, "What did you say? Who do you say doesn't have a mother's education? ”
The sixth prince is not very old, and he is also a child, so he will not be allowed to choke when he arrives, he "rubs" and stands up, looking like he is going to beat someone.
Situ Huaiyong moved, but his arm was clamped, and his raised hand was also pulled down.
"Brother Huang!" Situ Huaiyong was angry, and his tone was full of grievances.
Situ Huaizhu motioned for his younger brother to sit down with his eyes, and after seeing the other party sit down obediently, he looked at Situ Huaibo with a cold gaze, "Brother Huang, they are all their own brothers, it's not good for you to talk like this!" ”
"Not so good? What's so bad, as an older brother, shouldn't you teach your younger brother a lesson? Not to mention such a young brother who doesn't know how to be polite, I don't think the third brother is willing to teach, so I'll do it for you! ”
Without waiting for Situ Huai to speak, Situ Huaibo continued like a machine gun: "As a prince, he should be an example for the people of the world, but the sixth emperor brother is willful and reckless, third brother, you might as well hand over the sixth brother to me, I will let him be honest and hold the royal nobility!" ”
Situ Huaibo flicked his sleeves as he spoke, and the folding fan swung with him.
"Brother Huang, you have gone too far."
"Hehe, it's the third brother who dotes on the six princes too much, if I have such a younger brother, I will lose my face!"
"You-" Situ Huaiyong almost jumped up again, but was suppressed by Situ Huaijie again.
"Third brother!"
"Second brother, my younger brother has me to discipline him, so don't interfere with others!" Situ Huai said coldly, his tone was light, without a trace of temperature.
"Someone else? Situ Huaiju, what do you mean, I'm Huaiyong's second brother! Situ Huaibo was still angry, and then said, "What is your identity?" I think the sixth brother is following you, so he has no education! ”
Situ Huaijie secretly pinched his palm, and the hand that grabbed Situ Huaiyong also continued to tighten, and the flesh of Huaiyong who pinched it was painful.
The two brothers couldn't bear it, Situ Huaibo was very happy, and this Situ Huaizhu was nothing more than that.
"Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, you have trained this and that, I don't know if you think you are the eldest prince!"
Now the identity of the eldest prince is not the same, he is a sure prince, he is a small county king, he stared wide-eyed, and pointed at Qu Miaoling with one hand, "You are talking nonsense!" ”
How can there be the appearance of the affectionate style just now.
"Heh~" Qu Miaoling snorted coldly and stood up, and the brothers Situ Huaibo and Situ Huaiyong beside her, as well as Min Jie, looked at her in shock.
But Qu Miaoling couldn't control so much, such an arrogant Situ Huaibo made her feel disgusted when she saw it.
"Oh, yes, I said it wrong, how can I be the eldest prince, maybe even the future prince is not as wide as you!"
Qu Miaoling continued to be sarcastic, she didn't care about Situ Huaibo's black and green face.
