Chapter 112: Blatant Favoritism

After Hu Xuan finished saying that, there was silence for a while.

Shen Bai straightened up, pointed to the tip of his nose, and blinked his eyes with a puzzled expression.

Hu Xuan nodded and said, "This king is talking about you." ”

Among all the children of the family, only she is the most pompous and charming.

Shen Bai nodded, faced Hu Xuan, patiently waited for him to ask a question, and said faintly: "If Fang Cai is not a game, but is really fighting, do you know what it means to destroy the ice hockey?" ”

Shen Bai nodded, knowing that she couldn't speak, Emperor Hengde asked the palace people to present paper and pen.

Shen Bai took the pen and wrote: If in wartime, anyone who invades my Zhaoling territory will be punished by everyone, and I know that I can't resist thousands of troops, so no matter who slaughters my country's territory, I will slaughter whom!

If it was not a game just now, but a war, Zhou Jue and Jiang Yinglou were both capable warriors of the enemy country, and that ice hockey was the king they wanted to protect desperately.

Hu Xuan inexplicably felt that Shen Bai's words were very targeted, as if he was deliberately saying it to him, his eyebrows twisted slightly, and Hu Xuan questioned: "War is not as easy as competition, how can you be sure that you will be able to achieve your goals after treason?" If you fail in this process, your people will be poked in the backbone because of you, and they will no longer be able to hold their heads up, and your name will be crucified on the pillar of shame and spurned by thousands of people, aren't you afraid? ”

If Shen Bai failed to smash the ice hockey at the last moment of the game to completely destroy the attacker's chance of winning, she would also be ridiculed by everyone for her reputation as a traitor.

People know all the power of the words "human words are terrible".

The eyes of these people present all fell on Shen Bai, Shen Bai's expression was calm, and he wrote on the paper: As a Zhaoling son, if the country does not exist, it is better to sacrifice the mountains and rivers with blood and comfort the country with the soul than to steal his life.

Shen Bai couldn't speak, and couldn't shout such words in the most heroic tone like Gu Hengxiu had just done, but the words she wrote were strong and powerful, and there seemed to be a deafening cry from thousands of troops in her pen.

Sacrifice mountains and rivers with blood, and comfort the country with souls!

This silent cry is even more powerful than those roars.

Hu Xuan's expression was slightly solemn, he didn't expect this young man who looked to be only fourteen or fifteen to be able to say such a decisive and tragic word, he thought about it and asked: "What if you don't have the opportunity to pretend to betray and sneak into the enemy camp to do fine work?" ”

This question did not stump Shen Bai, she thought for a moment and wrote on the paper: If the border pass will be broken, in order to avoid the misery of life, it should be done at all costs, either the same will be destroyed, or the city will be destroyed.

According to Gu Hengxiu's arrangement, Shen Bai is in the first line of defense, and in real life, she is the general guarding the border pass, in order to avoid the enemy army from driving straight into and buy time for her own people, she will do whatever it takes to inflict heavy damage on the enemy army and set up obstacles for them.

After reading what Shen Bai wrote, Hu Xuan's face was so solemn that he went straight out to the cold, Zhaoling has always been people-oriented, and the march and war are somewhat restrained, and it is the first time that Hu Xuan has heard of the madman who is not willing to die and is not reasonable, and he always feels that this young young man in front of him will become the biggest variable that stirs up the situation in the world in the future.

Emperor Hengde was quite satisfied with Shen Bai's answer, his eyes flashed with appreciation, and he said in a deep voice: "Okay, the game is over, the outcome has been decided, according to the usual practice, the Internal Affairs Office will send the reward to the mansion within three days, you are also tired, get up and go to lunch first, and have a good rest in the afternoon." ”

Emperor Hengde opened his mouth to prevent Hu Xuan from continuing to ask, and the young people shouted in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen!" Then he got up and had lunch under the guidance of the palace people.

Lunch was arranged in the Qiyao Hall of the Imperial Palace, and Emperor Hengde wanted to dine with the envoys of Nanxiang and Yuexi, and Zhao Che presided over the overall situation in the Qiyao Palace.

As soon as the game ended, the palace people got the ranking of a group of teenagers, and arranged seats for everyone according to the ranking.

The young people were arrogant, afraid that they would be unhappy when they remembered the stumbles during the game, and everyone's seats were still arranged according to the offensive and defensive camps.

Gu Hengxiu insisted until the end of the game, and he was the winning side, so he naturally had to sit in the first position of the defender, but Jiang Yinglou and Zhou Jue were attacking on both fronts from the beginning, and they couldn't see who was the dominant party.

Jiang Yinglou's already not good-looking face became darker and darker, Zhou Deshan was just a mere captain, why was Zhou Jue in front of him? And if it weren't for Zhou Jue's gullibility of Shen Bai and passing the ice hockey ball to Shen Bai at the last moment, they might have won.

Jiang Yinglou put all the fault on Zhou Jue, and never thought that Shen Bai was not staring at the ice hockey at the end of the game, but the ice cave.

As long as she is blocked there, even if Zhou Jue passes the ice hockey ball to Jiang Yinglou, Jiang Yinglou will not be able to hit the ball into the hole.

There was a fire in his heart, and when he was about to sit down, Jiang Yinglou looked at his teammates on the attacking side and raised his voice: "Today's game is the offensive countermeasure that I discussed with Brother Zhou, and now that the game is lost, Brother Zhou and I have responsibilities that cannot be shirked, and after a while, I will punish myself with Brother Zhou for three cups to make amends to everyone." ”

The position has been arranged, Jiang Yinglou is not good to raise objections directly, he is apologizing on the surface, but he is emphasizing that he and Zhou Jue have discussed countermeasures together, the merits and demerits of the two are equal, and this position should naturally be the same.

Zhou Deshan has always left the impression of being cold and silent and not good at words, Jiang Yinglou has not had much contact with Zhou Jue, and thought that Zhou Jue is also such a person, but as soon as his voice fell, he heard Zhou Jue ask faintly: "Young Master Jiang, when did I discuss countermeasures with you?" Aren't we fighting our own battles by default? ”

Zhou Jue didn't expect to show his face in front of Emperor Hengde on this Winter Laurel Festival, so he naturally refused to suffer this dumb loss, and was trampled on by Jiang Yinglou.

Jiang Yinglou's expression stiffened slightly, and he heard Zhou Jue say again: "Young Master Jiang likes this position, you can say it bluntly, you don't have to beat around the bush like a girl, you are not tired, I am tired of listening." ”

After Zhou Jue finished speaking, he raised his chin and motioned for Jiang Yinglou to sit in the front position.

Zhou Jue generously released the position, and suddenly Jiang Yinglou was very childish, and he had a lot of eyes, and he was not a person worthy of deep friendship.

Although these young people are not very old, they are not stupid, as soon as Zhou Jue said this, the eyes of others looked at Jiang Yinglou and changed.

Jiang Yinglou forced a smile and said softly: "Brother Zhou misunderstood what I meant, your performance on the field is obvious to all, and you deserve this position." ”

After Jiang Yinglou finished speaking, he sat down in the second seat, Zhou Jue didn't talk any more nonsense, and sat down directly, and after the two sat down, they all looked at Shen Bai.

Shen Bai sat next to Gu Hengxiu, her "deception" plan was used perfectly, and she won the attention of the most people at the smallest cost, just before facing the saint together, Emperor Hengde didn't ask anyone, only she showed her face, she was the well-deserved winner of this game, at this moment she was full of energy, Gu Pan Shenfei, from the inside to the outside, there was a strong contrast with Gu Hengxiu who was gloomy next to her.

Everyone sat down for a moment, and the eunuch of the palace shouted: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Che, who was wearing a purple and gold robe, and Wei Ruzhao, who was wearing a monk's robe, walked into the Qiyao Hall side by side.

Everyone stood up one after another, saluted and shouted: "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Greetings to Uncle Guo." ”

Zhao Che and Wei Ruzhao went to the top position and sat down together, glanced at everyone, Zhao Che said in a deep voice: "Sit down, everyone has worked hard in the morning, there is no need to be formal at this time, just be an ordinary family banquet." ”

Everyone thanked Fang Fang and sat down, and the palace mermaids rushed in and sent exquisite delicacies.

Everything looks delicious, but it's a pity that Shen Bai's tongue still hurts so much that he can't eat any of them, so he can only look at the food on the table and swallow his saliva.

In the morning, Zhao Che also dealt with some government affairs before going to the palace, and did not watch the ceremony in person, but he had already heard the whole process of the game from the palace mouth, he glanced at Shen Bai lightly, and then asked Gu Hengxiu: "I heard that in today's ice hockey game, Gu Ershao led the whole team to victory under the obvious disadvantage of the defender, which shows that the strategy is outstanding, and it will be extraordinary in the future, and he is worthy of being the descendant of the Gu family." ”

If he won the victory normally, no matter how high the praise Gu Hengxiu was, he could bear it, but Shen Bai made this noise, so that these praises turned into sharp thorns in Gu Hengxiu's throat, and he couldn't swallow it and spit it out.

Knowing that Shen Bai was restless, Gu Hengxiu didn't dare to take advantage of her speechlessness to pretend to admit credit, so he immediately got up and said humbly: "Your Highness, this game can be won, it is all the credit of Young Master Shen alone, if he hadn't deceived everyone and won the trust of Young Master Zhou, Young Master Jiang would have already put the ice hockey into the hole and won this game." ”

These words not only showed Gu Hengxiu's own humility and great joy, but also raised Jiang Yinglou's skills, and Shen Bai became a person who insisted on going his own way and only knew that he was in the limelight, and Zhou Jue was even more gullible to others, causing everyone on the attacker to lose the game.

Shen Bai's eyes were slightly bent, Gu Ershao's mouth was really neat, she hadn't confronted Gu Hengxiu much in her previous life, but she almost underestimated him.

Zhou Jue looked at Gu Hengxiu coldly, and said in a deep voice: "I passed the ice hockey ball to Shen Bai, which was the best choice made according to the situation on the field at that time. ”

Gu Hengxiu nodded and said with a smile: "I know that Young Master Shen and Young Master Zhou have visited Dongheng Kingdom together with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and their relationship is by no means ordinary, and it is normal for Young Master Zhou to choose to believe in Young Master Shen." ”

Gu Hengxiu's tone was gentle, but he did not hesitate to stab Zhou Jue's soft knife, saying that he brought his personal emotions to the arena and believed Shen Bai because of his good personal relationship.

Zhou Jue frowned, the red mole in the center of his eyebrows was like a glossy coral bead, he glared at Gu Hengxiu with sharp eyes, and asked coldly: "Then according to what Er Shao said, this competition is made by Brother Gu as the referee, and he and Er Shao are brothers of the same origin, can I also suspect that Brother Gu is biased towards Er Shao's camp in the process of ruling?" ”

When Zhou Jue said this, Gu Hengzhou just stepped into the Qiyao Palace, and the indigo blue clothes were placed in the air to draw a graceful arc and then paused, he bowed to Zhao Che and Wei Ruzhao: "Weichen is late, please forgive His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Uncle Guo." ”

Zhao Che spoke: "It's okay, take a seat." ”

Gu Hengzhou walked to Zhao Che's lower left head and sat down, his eyes swept over Zhou Jue and Gu Hengxiu coldly, Zhou Jue looked calm, he didn't mean to target Gu Hengzhou, he just wanted to block Gu Hengxiu's mouth.

Gu Hengxiu's heart was weak, and he didn't dare to pull Gu Hengzhou into the water because of himself, so he hurriedly said righteously: "Big brother will never do such a thing, Young Master Zhou, don't talk nonsense." ”

Zhou Jue raised his eyebrows: "I'm just deducing this matter according to Gu Ershao's logic, how can Gu Ershao talk nonsense with empty teeth and white teeth, I can't do it?" ”

Zhou Jue was reasonable, and refuted Gu Hengxiu speechless.

The corners of Shen Bai's lips were slightly hooked and he sat on the side to steal fun, Jiang Yinglou saw it, and helped Gu Hengxiu play the round game, Wen smiled and said: "The game is over, one yard is one yard, don't hurt the harmony." After speaking, he picked up his wine glass and said to Shen Bai, "Young Master Shen is leading the competition today, and his intelligence and courage are different from others, I salute Young Master Shen with a glass." ”

Gu Hengzhou's eyes sank slightly, and Wu Shouxin, who was sitting next to Shen Bai, immediately said: "Brother Bai's tongue is injured and he can't drink, so I'll accompany Young Master Jiang to drink for him." ”

After Wu Shouxin finished speaking, Qian Huaishan and Qian Huaiyu also said in unison: "My brothers are also willing to drink for Shen Bai." ”

Although Emperor Hengde was not here, Zhao Che and Wei Ruzhao were both sitting here watching, and these children of the family did not miss the opportunity to express themselves, and they raised their glasses to express their willingness to help Shen Bai drink.

The green tendons on Jiang Yinglou's forehead jumped twice suddenly, I didn't expect Shen Bai to make such a fuss and become so popular, he drank the glass of wine in his hand and sat down without smiling, looked at Wu Shouxin and said: "Young Master Wu was famous for his bad relationship with Young Master Shen in Tai Academy before, but he has been defending him everywhere during this time, I am very curious, I don't know what happened between you, not only did you release your previous suspicions, but also became like brothers and sisters?" ”

Just now he was almost injured by Jiang Yinglou on the field, Wu Shouxin put down his wine glass, and said with a cold expression: "Brother Bai has been trained in the Hanjing Captain Camp for two months, and after coming back, his character is completely different from before, I have benefited a lot from him, and I am very sorry for the fact that I didn't know anything before and deliberately made trouble for him, so I want to compensate him, does Young Master Jiang have any opinion on this?" ”

Jiang Yinglou had the intention to take Shen Bai's liking for men, smiled deeply, shook his head and said, "What can I say, but I am worried that Young Master Wu will get too close to him and his reputation will suffer." ”

Jiang Yinglou said such things several times, Wu Shouxin was very unhappy when he heard it, and immediately said loudly: "This is my business, Young Master Jiang doesn't have to be nosy at all, I want to compensate Brother Bai for deliberately pestering him, even if my reputation is affected in the future, I will bring it upon myself, and it has nothing to do with him." ”

Wu Shouxin is defending Shen Bai for no reason, not to mention others, even Shen Bai himself is very surprised, is it because she saved Brother Wu's life just now, Brother Wu has to give everything to be good to her?

Shen Bai was thinking about it, and Zhao Che, who was sitting at the top, spoke softly: "This palace doesn't know why Young Master Jiang is so worried, you might as well say it and let everyone hear it." ”

Zhao Che asked abruptly, as if he was completely unaware of the rumors that had been circulating in the city before.

Jiang Yinglou felt inexplicably abrupt in his heart, and hesitated for a while before saying, "It's nothing, it's just that there are some rumors in Beijing about Young Master Shen's badness." ”

Zhao Che asked: "What are the rumors?" ”

Zhao Che's face was gentle, and he seemed to have no temper at all, but it made people have a kind of depth that could not be seen through the clouds.

He kept chasing after him, and Jiang Yinglou didn't dare not answer, so he had to say: "Those rumors say that Young Master Shen is a good man, and he can't leave a man, not only seducing the prince of Zhenguo, but also provoking men everywhere, and his private life is very erosive." ”

The content of the rumors is many times more difficult to hear than what Jiang Yinglou said, but it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance, and Jiang Yinglou can only pick a few sentences and barely be able to say them.

All the people present had heard these words, and everyone's eyes fell on Shen Bai, who was sitting there in red, green, and green clothes, his eyes were rolling around, looking like he was listening to gossip, as if what Jiang Yinglou had just said was not her at all, but another person.

"Shen Bai is a good man, and I have heard of the fact that I like the prince of Zhenguo, but I have never heard of her provoking men everywhere." Zhao Che nodded, and looked at Jiang Yinglou after speaking, "Young Master Jiang might as well tell me, which men has she provoked?" ”

Zhao Che broke the casserole and asked in the end, Jiang Yinglou faintly sensed that something was wrong, and said with a forced smile: "Back to Your Highness, I just heard it by chance, and I don't know who it is." ”

Zhao Che raised his eyebrows, the chill at the bottom of his black eyes spread like ink, and said, "I dare to talk nonsense in front of this palace just by accident, even the ignorant long-tongued woman in the back house is not as bold as Young Master Jiang, right?" ”

Zhao Che gave Jiang Yinglou a resounding slap in the face with these words, and he felt that his whole face was hot, hot and painful.

He hurriedly got up and knelt down to admit his mistake: "It was my carelessness and I said the wrong thing, please forgive His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Everyone also reacted at this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew that Shen Bai had a problem with liking men, but he was not disgusted at all, and even intended to defend him, so that no one would dare to laugh at him for Shen Bai liking men in the future.

Zhao Che picked up the wine glass and played with it leisurely, and said coldly: "It's not a big deal to just say a few wrong words, this palace just saw that Young Master Jiang toasted very arrogantly, presumably the amount of wine should be very good, then punish yourself for three jars of wine to apologize, how about it?" ”

Jiang Yinglou's amount of wine is indeed not bad, but there are too many three jars of wine, and everyone here knows that this punishment is not light, and their hearts are awe-inspiring.

Jiang Yinglou didn't dare to disobey, and hurriedly responded: "Your Highness Xie!" ”

Zhao Che waved his hand to let Jiang Yinglou return to his seat and sit down, and the palace people immediately sent three jars of wine for him to drink.

Zhao Che raised his eyes to look at the others and asked, "Have you heard anything interesting recently?" ”

Everyone shook their heads again and again, not daring to say anything more.

Zhao Che said to the palace people again: "Young Master Shen has an injured tongue, so she can only eat liquid food, remove all the food on her table and send meat porridge." ”

The palace people responded and withdrew the food in front of Shen Bai, and after a while, they brought hot porridge.

Gu Hengzhou poured himself a glass of wine and drank it, lowering his eyes to hide the obscure emotions in his eyes.

His Royal Highness seems to be too partial to Shen Bai.
