In the Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

Xiao Yiheng took the lead in saying his intention: "Father, half a month later, it will be the death day of Empress Xiao Shengxian, and the sons and sons have come to ask my father whether he has ordered everyone in the capital to be dressed in white according to the past, and women should be more plain, not drinking, not eating meat, and not listening to music." ”

Xiao Rui raised his eyebrows, happy in his heart, it was such a coincidence.

Emperor Xia was stunned, he was busy with government affairs, but he ignored the death date of his biological mother, Xiao Yiheng served in the Zongren Mansion, so he had the duty to remind His Majesty.

"It's been more than 20 years in the blink of an eye." Emperor Xia was in a trance, then nodded and said, "According to the rules of previous years, I will still go to the imperial tomb to worship this year!" There's no need to do anything deliberately. ”

"Yes! Erchen understood. Xiao Yiheng said.

Emperor Xia looked at Xiao Rui and asked, "What about you?" ”

Xiao Rui said: "Father, the sons came also for the death day of the Empress Xiao Shengxian, the sons heard that when the father was young, he followed the Empress Xiao Shengxian to live in Xuanzhou, and I think I must like to eat Xuanzhou's Qingtuan and Jixi tart kueh." On this year's death day, in order to commemorate the Empress Xiao Shengxian, his father was unwilling to do a big job, so the sons wanted to give porridge, and at the same time give alms to the Youth League and Jixi Tart Kueh, so as to miss the Empress Xiao Shengxian. ”

"Xiao Qi has a heart!" Xia Huang nodded, his mind immediately thought of the scene of living with his mother when he was young, when he and his mother depended on each other, and his favorite food was Qingtuan steamed bun and Jixi tart kueh, although now it is brocade and jade, but the delicacy of that youth still lingers. What is even more unforgettable is that period of life that is poor but warm.

"Great idea for soup kitchen! It not only shows charity, but also can remember the filial piety of the sage queen, I agreed. Emperor Xia agreed.

"Yes, Father!" Xiao Rui immediately received the order.

Xiao Yiheng was instantly tasted, and he was going to express his filial piety by himself, but he was robbed of his credit by Xiao Rui, it was too much, why was he so stupid, he didn't expect this!

At this time, Xiao Rui asked, "Father, are the Qingtuan steamed buns and tart cakes delicious?" Erchen is ashamed that he hasn't eaten these two things yet! ”

Emperor Xia recalled: "The taste is naturally not delicious, after all, it is not a delicacy, it is just a kind of pasta invented by the common people, but for me, it is the taste of memory, and it is a little gluttonous to think about, haha..."

Xiao Yiheng saw that Emperor Xia wanted to eat, and immediately said, "Father, do you want to let the imperial dining room prepare it?" Sons can also be stained. ”

Emperor Xia said: "Qingtuan steamed buns and tart kueh are local food, and they can't be served on the table, and the imperial dining room is proficient in major cuisines, so they shouldn't be able to make them." ”

Xiao Rui deliberately regretted: "That's it, it's a pity, I can't let my father personally guide how to make it, it's not good to spread it like this!" It seems that my second brother and I are not taking it orally today. ”

Xiao Yiheng heard Xiao Rui's words, and hurriedly said: "Father, since it is the food of Xuanzhou, the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace must have from Xuancheng, let them instruct the imperial kitchen how to make it, isn't it?" What does Father think? The seventh brother is too rigid, you have to be good at using your brain! ”

"The second brother is teaching a lesson!" Xiao Rui said with a smile.

Emperor Xia nodded and said, "That makes sense, do you know that there are people in the palace whose ancestral home is Xuanzhou?" ”

Hai Dafu said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Yan Xiaoxiao is from Xuanzhou, and this woman's family is poor, so she should be able to make Qingtuan and tart cake!" ”

"Oh? Is it? It's a pity that she was punished by the queen! Xia Huang said.

Xiao Yiheng's face was stunned, how could it be pulled on Yan Xiaoxiao.

Xiao Rui asked curiously: "No wonder Erchen came to ask for peace, I haven't seen Lady Yan." I don't know what she did to anger the queen? ”

Hai Dafu glanced at Emperor Xia vaguely, and then said: "When Her Majesty was in retreat, Lady Yan inadvertently collided with the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was furious and ordered the Inner Court Division to punish her, and now she is locked up in the Female Official's Palace. ”

"Just locked up in the palace of the female officer? It seems that the crime is not serious, otherwise the Inner Court Division will definitely punish it severely to set an example, isn't it the second brother?" Xiao Rui asked.

Xiao Yiheng still wants to possess Yan Xiaoxiao, naturally he will not harm her, and this matter also involves the queen Zhou Xiangyun, so he naturally can't make the matter serious, so he nodded and said: "Female official Yan just behaved recklessly, and the queen mother punished her slightly." The queen mother is the master of the harem, how can she make it difficult for a little female official? ”

Xiao Rui smiled, this time Xiao Yiheng sent people thousands of miles away, just borrowing his mouth to rescue Yan Xiaoxiao.

"Father, since the queen has already punished Yan Xiaoxiao, and she is from Xuanzhou, why not give her the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, let her guide the imperial kitchen and make Qingtuan buns and tart cakes for her father. In addition, Erchen also wanted to ask her how to make it. Xiao Rui pleaded.

Xiao Yiheng's face changed slightly, and he knew that he had been fooled at this moment.

Emperor Xia nodded and said, "That makes sense!" Yan Xiaoxiao was still very conscientious during her time as a female writer, and since she was also punished for colliding with the queen, she was given the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. King Chu, you will go to the queen to say goodbye and inform the queen of this matter. ”

"Erchen understands!" Xiao Yiheng gave himself a slap in the face of the truth!

For him, Yan Xiaoxiao's lockup is a godsend, a little longer, His Majesty will not pay attention to this woman, and when the time comes, he will implore the queen to think of a reason to demote her from the palace, won't it be his own when the time comes?

Who would have thought that now Xiao Rui seized the opportunity and fell short! He now has the hatred to bite Xiao Rui to death!

At this time, Emperor Xia waved his hand, and Hai Dafu immediately sent someone to release Yan Xiaoxiao.

Xiao Rui retreated to the seat, and as soon as he looked up, he found that His Majesty was looking at him, and he showed a shallow smile, especially those eyes that made people dare not look directly, as if they knew Xiao Rui's little tricks very well, and saw him through.

Xiao Rui didn't want to hide it from His Majesty, Guo Jia came up with this time, and said that His Majesty would see the truth, but in the same way, he would also follow his words and let Yan Xiaoxiao go.

What is the queen's intention in punishing Yan Xiaoxiao?

It's not to help Xiao Yiheng get Yan Xiaoxiao, but I'm afraid that Yan Xiaoxiao will become the second concubine! As soon as the woman's cautious eyes come up, she will surrender her identity and do it directly.

Your Majesty will not know the way of this? It's just too lazy to ask, and now it's just a matter of effort.

Next, Xiao Rui, His Majesty and Xiao Yiheng chatted, and after half an hour, Yan Xiaoxiao entered the hall to ask to see him.

Her expression is much better now than before, since she knew that Xiao Rui was back, she seemed to have grasped the backbone, so she could no longer feel lonely at night.

After entering the palace, Yan Xiaoxiao saw King Xian at first sight, and he really rescued you, but in front of His Majesty, she didn't dare to express the joy in her heart, but stepped forward respectfully, and said: "Your Majesty, the slave maid has told the imperial chef in detail how to make Qingtuan and tart kueh, they are making it, and you can taste it in half an hour." ”

Emperor Xia nodded, and then waved his hand, Yan Xiaoxiao obediently served in front of the dragon case, and continued to serve as the female official who held the pen.

Xiao Rui drank tea and didn't look at Yan Xiaoxiao, but Xiao Yiheng swept towards Yan Xiaoxiao as if he were nothing, and the heat in his eyes couldn't be hidden at all.

After waiting for half an hour, Xiao Rui and Xiao Yiheng ate the Qingtuan steamed bun and tart kueh before the two said goodbye and left.

On the way out of the palace, Xiao Yiheng said coldly: "Xiao Rui, this king has always underestimated you, you have always pretended to be with me, and now you feel that your wings are stiff, so you want to compete with me?" I am the concubine of the queen's lineage, and I am the best candidate for the orthodoxy of Great Xia! If you don't fight, you may be able to be stable in the future, but now, hmph, don't blame this king for ignoring brotherhood! ”

Xiao Rui looked at Xiao Yiheng in surprise.

Is this dude threatening himself? Damn, what a fool!

At this time, Xiao Yiheng was really angry, he was rectified by Xiao Rui several times this morning, and he would be angry if he changed people.

Xiao Rui shook his head, he didn't want to talk to the red-eyed dog... Phew, so Xiao Rui nodded, applauded, and said, "Second brother is right!" ”

Xiao Yiheng opened his mouth, and he felt his fierce iron fist hit the soft cotton.

"Hmph..."Xiao Yiheng threw his sleeves away angrily.

Xiao Rui also ran away slowly, now that Yan Xiaoxiao is safe, he can also do other things with peace of mind, such as trying to win over Li Mingchong for the sake of the great cause!

It's too hard for me.

Coming to Li Mingchong's mansion, Dian Wei went up and knocked on the door, and after the door official passed the word, Li Dongsheng and Li Ruoxue went out of the house to greet him.

"His Royal Highness King Xian!" The two saluted.

Xiao Rui smiled: "No courtesy, I haven't seen you for many days, Brother Dongsheng's demeanor is still the same, and Sister Ruoxue is even more beautiful." ”

Li Dongsheng said: "Your Highness Liao praised, Your Highness, please enter the house!" ”

The two came to the living room and sat down, Xiao Rui took out a stack of albums from his arms, presented them to Li Ruoxue, and said: "Ruoxue, this is the scenery I described when I visited the state capital and encountered the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, but unfortunately you didn't have the opportunity to see it with your own eyes, the painting is clumsy, don't be surprised." ”

Li Ruoxue's big eyes glowed with a different look, and she hurriedly took the album and looked through it carefully.

The first one is a painting of the Apricot Blossom Wine House, and the level of painting is average.

In the second one, the painting is of a steep group of peaks, and the painting work has grown slightly.

The third...

The fourth...

One by one, the more back, the better the painting.

Li Ruoxue held the album and felt Xiao Rui's heart.

It can be seen that Xiao Rui is not good at painting, and his skills are not high, this thick stack of paintings has gone from being sparse in skill to becoming more and more proficient, although he did not enter the room in the end, but the traces between the brushes and ink, and the beautiful scenery of the rivers and mountains that he copied for himself, are all minds. It seems to hold the beauty of mountains and rivers in the palm of your hand.

"Thank you!" Li Ruoxue held the album and felt the throbbing in her heart, she didn't dare to look at Xiao Rui, and said softly with a red face.

Li Dongsheng on the side saw it in his eyes, and his smile was even worse.

"Sister, go down and prepare some refreshments." Li Dongsheng took the opportunity to transfer her.

Li Ruoxue hurried out with the album in her arms, and when she went out, she couldn't help but look back at Xiao Rui.

Subsequently, Li Dongsheng sent away the other subordinates, and only Xiao Rui and him were left in the house.

"Your Highness, what do you think of my sister?" Li Dongsheng asked with a smile.

Xiao Rui said: "Knowledgeable and reasonable, everyone is beautiful." ”

"Would Your Highness marry my sister?" Li Dongsheng's smile did not change.

Hey, this guy actually pimped... Phew, I actually became a matchmaker and threw my sister into the fire pit... Phew, I actually chose such a handsome and handsome husband for my sister!

Li Dongsheng is wise!
