Chapter 9 What? Entering the palace draft?
"Buckle buckle—"
As soon as the sky saw the white belly of the fish, the sound of knocking on the door lingered in Xifu.
"You go and call." "I'm not going, you go!" "Then you go, I don't want to be broken by the teenager!" Several maids were "humble" to each other at the door of Xi Jue, and they didn't chop up until they woke up naturally. As it turned out, their worries were not unfounded.
"Buckle button - young master, get up!" An unfortunate maid with rock-paper-scissors knocked on the door tremblingly.
"What bastard would dare to interrupt Young Master Ben's dreams!!" Xi Jue jumped up from the bed, picked up the pillow and smashed it at the door, followed by the breaking sound of porcelain hitting the ground, which frightened the maid who knocked on the door and took a few steps back.
As soon as Xi Jue wanted to lie down and continue to sleep, a sweet "Brother Jue" completely pulled him out of the arms of the god of sleep. Xi Jue sat up like a stiff carp and tidied up a little.
"Come in!"
Xi Shuang brought a few maids with toiletries and clothes into Xi Jue's room. Maids, you look at me, I look at you, I complained silently in my heart, why my sister is so angry when she wakes up, her attitude is very different from that of them, this is really the difference between a master and a slave!
"Brother Jue, hurry up and clean up, Daddy is waiting for us in the lobby. I'll go first! With that, Xi Shuang walked out the door.
"Eh, eh~ Wait for me, you!" Xi Jue rolled out of bed in excitement, the maids wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, their faces were flushed one by one, and their shoulders couldn't stop shaking. Xi Jue glared at them fiercely, "What are you looking at?!" Don't change the clothes of Young Master Ben yet!! ”
Xi Jue went out very fast today, and he didn't want to be eaten alive by his father early in the morning because he was late.
He quickly ran into the lobby, said hello, and felt the seriousness of the atmosphere, the whole family was there, even Master Mu and Mu Zixian were there. What kind of conference is this going on? He remembered that he had been doing well lately, and he hadn't done anything?!
Seeing that he was stunned, Xi Shuang hurriedly gave him a look, Xi Jue quickly sat next to Xi Shuang, he just wanted to ask Xi Shuang what happened, Master Xi took out a letter from his sleeve, and his eyes flashed a little gloomy.
"I called you all early this morning because of this letter."
Xi Yue, Xi Jue, and Xi looked at each other on both sides, what kind of letter is this, so serious.
Mu Lao Mu Liang spoke first, "This letter was written by the emperor when I entered Beijing to face the saint. But I don't know what the emperor wrote. Mu Liang looked at Master Xi, did he really not know?
"The emperor wants us to send a woman from an official eunuch family above the sixth grade to the palace for the draft." Master Xi clenched his fists, although Mrs. Xi already knew the content of the letter last night, she still couldn't help but shed a few tears.
The only officials above the seventh rank in the hidden capital are Master Mu from the fifth rank Zhizhou and Master Xi who happens to be the seventh rank of the county, and the Mu family has no daughter, so the draft of entering the palace fell to the Xi family. Xi Jue looked at Xi Shuang, who was sitting next to him, and then looked in the direction of Xi Yue, both of them had the same solemn faces. You must know that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, the key is that the current emperor of Fengguo is almost forty, and even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has reached the age of marrying, if he enters the palace and becomes the imperial concubine, hey......
"I'm really sorry, Brother Xi! There is only one son in my Mu family. Mu Liang stepped forward and shook Master Xi's hand, acting very self-reproachful.
"Brother Mu, it's not your fault, it's fate!" Master Xi shook his head and held Master Mu's hand instead.
Master Xi raised his head and looked at Xi Yue and then at Xi Shuang, Xi Shuang looked at Xi Yue, Xi Yue's eyes signaled her not to be afraid, and Xi Jue noticed Xi Shuang's strangeness, and gently shook her hand, all this, Xi Yue saw in his eyes. Mu Zixian's eyes were firmly fixed on Xi Shuang, he really wanted to touch her face, hug her, and give her a sense of security, but this was Xi Fu.
Master Xi weighed it in his heart, and Master Mu also made calculations.
Silence enveloped the entire lobby.
Suddenly, a small guy ran in and handed over a letter out of breath, "Old-master, eight hundred miles, plus plus urgent!" Master Xi hurriedly opened the letter.
He didn't know whether to be happy or worried. The draft for entering the palace is not for the emperor to choose for himself, but to let the prince enrich the backyard, and the age difference is narrowed, but everyone in Fengguo knows that the prince of Fengguo is moody and very indifferent, and the prince's side concubine and Tongfang have not lived for a year. People are talking about the tiger's color change, and Feng Guo is talking about the prince's color change.
"The letter just said that this draft is to enrich the backyard for His Royal Highness the Prince." Master Xi's eyes were still the same gloomy and not happy. Old Man Mu's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise and strange color.
When Xi Yue heard the word "prince", she subconsciously shrank. Xi Shuang noticed Xi Yue's abnormality, it was time to repay the Xi family's nurturing grace, she stood up without thinking, Xi Jue pulled her sleeve, and motioned for her to sit down, letting Xi Jue's eyes almost roll out, Xi Shuang just shook his head, Xi Jue had no choice but to let go of his hand, with a lost face, and pressed his hand on the armrest of the wooden chair.
"Daddy, I'm willing to enter the palace!" Xi Shuang bit his lip, tears poured out uncontrollably, and were swallowed by Xi Shuangsheng. Everyone was shocked, Master Xi stood up, walked down, and held Xi Shuang's hand tightly, "Shuangshuang, are you really willing?" Xi Shuang nodded stiffly. Bang", the teacup in Mu Zixian's hand fell straight to the ground, blooming, and Mu Liang glared at Mu Zixian fiercely, this useless guy. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Mu Zixian apologized as he picked up the broken ceramic pieces on the ground with his hands. "It's okay, Mu Gongzi be careful, just let the subordinates clean up." Master Xi pretended to be calm.
The rest is that it is difficult to participate in family affairs, so Master Mu took Mu Zixian to leave.
Mu Zixian clenched his fists tightly, and his sleeves were stained red with blood. As soon as he got home, he threw himself into the study, the blood on his sleeve staining the rice paper, and he realized that his hand had scraped a long cut when he had just picked up the fragments of the teacup. He couldn't feel the pain in his hands, because the heartache was even worse, Xi Shuang's "I am willing to enter the palace" was like a fragment of a teacup piercing deep into his heart, was it about to end before it began?
Xifu, the turmoil has not yet calmed down.
As soon as Xi Jue wanted to stand up and refuse for Xi Shuang, Xi Yue stood up first, "Father, I think I am more suitable to enter the palace than Shuangshuang." Xi Yue walked towards Xi Shuang and smiled softly at her.
"Yue'er, are you really willing to enter the palace?" Master Xi turned around and held Xi Yue's hand, his eyes were full of reluctance, Xi Yue nodded firmly, "Father, Yue'er is already married, and it's time to get married." And Shuangshuang is still young, the deep palace is sinister, and my sister may not be able to cope with it. Master Xi nodded, he weighed it for a long time in his heart, Yue'er was indeed the best candidate to enter the palace. Mrs. Xi walked over quickly with the support of the maid, hugged Xi Yue tightly, kept wiping her tears, with a hint of crying, "Yue'er~" Xi Yue patted Mrs. Xi's back and said softly: "Mother, don't worry, Yue'er can live well in the palace, your father doesn't have to worry about his daughter." Saying that, he looked at Master Xi, who nodded and comforted Mrs. Xi, "Don't worry, Madame, I believe that our Yue'er will definitely spend her life safely in the palace." "In the palace, I don't seek happiness, I only seek peace, but it turns out that Xi Yue is not only safe in the palace, but also happy, of course, this is a later story.
Xi Jue's heart is very contradictory and complicated, on one side is her sister, on the other side is Shuangshuang, Shuangshuang finally doesn't have to enter the palace, but her sister wants to enter the bottomless palace. Xi Jue secretly made up his mind: he must work hard, so that he can protect the people he loves.
Master Xi comforted Mrs. Xi and went back to the room, Xi Yue smiled and leaned into Xi Shuang's ear, her voice was like a spring breeze, "Shuangshuang, don't worry, my sister will be safe, but you, don't be like my sister, miss the people around you who love you." "Sister Yue~" Xi Shuang is only eight years old, and he doesn't know much about this sentence, and a vague feeling is fermenting in his heart. Xi Jue. Xi Yue pinched a handful of the flesh on Xi Jue's face, this time Xi Jue didn't resist, if it was to be put in the past, he would have cried his father and called his mother, but now, he wanted his sister to pinch himself a few more times. Don't bully Shuangshuang! Otherwise, my sister will never let you go! Xi Yue walked out with a smile. Since Xi Shuang has a memory, every time she is bullied by Xi Jue, it is Sister Yue who helps her out. Sister Yue likes to study new dishes, and every time she is the first to serve it to Xi Shuang, Xi Shuang will cook several dishes now, all of which Xi Yue taught her. Thinking of this, Xi Shuang's tears finally rolled down uncontrollably, Xi Jue hugged Xi Shuang tightly, and let Xi Shuang's tears soak his shoulders.
