On the other side, as soon as Li Hong, who had returned to the hall, entered the hall, he saw his father Li Zhi looking at him with an interesting gaze. He didn't dodge, he also nodded, and said with a smile: "Just now Hong'er took the virtuous brother out, and I saw those little guys making trouble outside the hall. The virtuous brother clamored to bring them, but Hong'er didn't dare to assert himself without his father's permission, so he had to ask him to come with him. ”

As he spoke, he dodged and showed his back, struggling to hold the two snow cubs in his arms, as if he was greedy enough to pick up the third Li Xian.

It's just that the snow fox is already more than a month old, although they are only smaller than ordinary cats, but it is not something that Li Xian can hold three by himself. So at this moment, I saw him stuff the left one into his arms, the right one fell down and fell on his head, the right one was stuffed back again, the left one fell down again, back and forth, I only heard a few exhausted screams from him, and even the one in the middle who was holding it firmly couldn't stand it and struggled hard - but because Li Hong was by his side, and they also played with the two brothers Li Xian and Li Xian on weekdays, so they didn't stay away anyway.

A few of the little attendants who often followed him next to him wanted to intervene, but they were all willfully rejected by him - no matter what, His Royal Highness King Lu was determined to pick up these little playmates by himself.

Such a delicate and childlike state is really funny, and for a while, not only Li Zhi showed his face, but also His Royal Highness and everyone laughed again and again.

"Xian'er, since your hands are only that big, you hugged one." Li Zhi couldn't help laughing, covering his forehead and shaking his head at his stubborn and abnormal son.

"Don't! All three of them are coming. I never thought that Li Xian was unusually persistent, and his face was firm.

"The other two obviously can't hold ......" Li Hong also smiled bitterly, but he really liked this little brother, and he couldn't bear to make him sad, so he could only persuade him in a good voice.

"Don't! Xian'er just wants to hug two! Li Xian was so angry that his little face turned red and he wanted to cry. Li Xian's heart tightened, knowing that Li Xian was still frightened by the situation just now, so he was a little willful in order to take the opportunity to vent his feelings suppressed by fear, so he didn't make a sound, just helped him pick up the other one and let him hold it.

Li Zhi knew it even more in his heart, so he got up and walked to him, smiled and grabbed the back of a little fox by the neck, and wanted to help him hug it.

For a while, the two little foxes screamed, which was really miserable, and the one in Li Xian's arms only felt the unwillingness of his brothers and sisters, and his heart was even more sad, and he echoed with a sigh, and there was a faint sound of a lion's roar, which made everyone in the hall shocked-

"Although I had long heard that this dragon species snow was extraordinary, I never thought that I would see it here. I didn't expect to be raised and played by Li Hong. Sourly, Li Sujie snorted and whispered to Li Shangjin.

Li Shangjin's eyes were calm, and when he just looked at those snowy foxes, he occasionally flashed strong ambition.

"Ming doesn't like it, why does Xian'er insist on it? If you really want all three of them to follow you, then you can only hold the youngest one in your arms.

The youngest one was the weakest, and the most loved by the rest of the brothers. When it stays comfortable in your arms, it will naturally rejoice. Its siblings naturally know that you will treat them well, and will naturally follow you.

Blindly force it to follow your heart, but you are afraid that it will backfire, and they will never be stubborn with you in the future. Suddenly, Mei Niang's gentle voice sounded, making Li Xian stunned, and the poor little fox who was being carried by Li Zhi and Li Hongyi on the left and right on the back of the neck also took the opportunity to jump down, screamed twice, and ran to Mei Niang's side, rolling around her in a circle and selling pity.

Mei Niang smiled, stretched out her hand to hold up a small fox in her arms, followed by Ming He, who immediately picked up the other one, and walked to Li Zhi's father and son.

When Li Xian heard this, he blinked his round eyes and looked at the little white fox in his arms that had really quieted down, and said softly: "How does the queen mother know that they are brothers?" ”

"Fool...... Their parents were brought to the palace by the queen mother, why didn't the queen mother know? Li Hong smiled and patted his younger brother on the shoulder, and the family walked back to the seat, but Li Zhi lifted Li Hong's jade case to his gold case again, almost merging the case, and arranged Li Hong and Li Xian to sit beside him.

The emperor's merger is almost said to be treating his sons with imperial courtesy, but with Mei Niang sitting at the same seat first, and Li Hong and Li Xian, who have won the hearts of the people, everyone thinks it should be taken for granted.

Only Li Sujie and Li Shangjin under the stairs cast a touch of ruthlessness in their eyes.

This thing is a rare treasure in the world, so when their brothers hugged it, it attracted everyone's attention. A Su and Su Jie had a good look, glanced at Su Jie, and then glanced at Mei Niang, then smiled and crossed his hands and saluted: "Queen Mother Da'an, the ministers have to entrust the blessing of His Royal Highness the Prince and His Royal Highness King Lu today, and it is really rare to see the true body of the dragon seed with their own eyes." It's just that for some reason, they don't seem to like to be in crowded places, and they don't seem to like each other.

The minister has been reading since he was a child, and he is fierce and fierce, and he is also good at being alone. But those who have a group are brothers of the same child, and they cannot escape the loss.

If this is the case, the minister thinks that if it is good for His Royal Highness the Prince, it is better to leave only one to accompany the king, but to send the other two out of the palace, so that they can enjoy the mountains and rivers on their own. ”

Mei Niang replied without raising her head: "No need." I like to see them here. What's more, the dragon species belongs to the dragon species, in the end, it is still small, and it is just right to be a companion to stay here. Not to mention ......"

She glanced up at the minister and smiled faintly: "Qing Fei is not ruthless, how do you know that they are like jackals, tigers and leopards, but they can only live alone, and it is difficult to tolerate other relatives of the same race?" ”

When this sentence was spoken, His Highness was immediately quiet, and only the sound of bamboo music could be heard.

Li Hong looked up at Mei Niang, his eyes were as warm as jade and crystal, and then smiled, and reached out to hug Li Xian, who was playing with Xiao Xian in his arms, a little tighter, for fear that he would slip down and fall.

The minister's face changed, but he didn't know how to answer, and when he was hesitating, he heard another minister who was good friends with him also got up and said with a smile:

"Sure enough, the queen's mother is very knowledgeable, and the ministers are ashamed of themselves.

It's also a shame to say, if it weren't for Niangniang's words, the minister would only know that this dragon species is extremely strong and straight, and is never approached by treachery. Actually, it's also -

Although it looks like a cat, it is not a domestic cat in the end, but it cannot be played with by people. If it weren't for the heirs of the Son of Heaven such as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King Lu, I am afraid it would be rare for the dragon species to be so close. ”

"Yes, a dragon seed is a dragon seed. Ordinary people are indeed not close, and domestic cats and the like cannot be pretended. Mei Niang nodded again, agreeing with what he said.

He originally thought that he would be ridiculed like a colleague, but he didn't expect to be praised by Mei Niang, and he was at a loss for a while, when he saw Su Jie and Shangjin throwing uncertain glances at him, he immediately realized, and cold sweat beads the size of soybeans appeared on his forehead.

Seeing his mother talking back and forth with these two ministers, Li Xian, who was holding Li Hong, who was holding the fierce and being hugged by Li Hong, finally calmed down and had the heart to figure out the current situation: "Big brother, how do you think that these two people seem to want to embarrass the queen mother?" ”

"It doesn't matter. When they think about it, they just think about it. ”

Glancing at the innocent brother in his arms again, Li Hong hugged him tightly, smiled, and looked at his father, who had been silently watching their brother on the side, and said softly:

"Father, right?"

"One of you is the crown prince and the other is the king of Lu, and the whole world will be yours in the future, so naturally what you like will be." Li Zhi smiled and whispered in a voice that only their father and son and Mei Niang could hear, but the words that came out of his mouth were too late to answer, which made Li Xian feel inexplicable when he heard it-

Although he is smart, he is only a child in the end.

Li Hong is different from his younger brother, hearing Li Zhi's words, his originally cautious little face immediately opened a brilliant smile as if he had been amnestied:

"What my father said is very true, Hong'er and his younger brothers thank their father for his mercy!"

And this smile not only deepened the doubts in Li Xian's heart, but also firmly remembered the conversation between his eldest brother and his father today in order to ask for clarity later, and also made the two brothers Li Sujie and Li Shangjin, who did not hear their conversation, look even more ugly, and even have a trace of resentment.

What are those two?

Why were the two sitting beside their fathers?

Why not them? But them?

Why?

"Because your hearts will never be as simple and clear as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King Lu...... Two Highnesses. ”

During the banquet of His Royal Highness, Di Renjie, who had been watching the situation in the palace like everyone else, sighed muttered, looked at the figure of the second king of Xunqi, who had already revealed a trace of stiffness, and shook his head, his face full of pity-

Originally, the brothers Su Jie and Shang Jin, even if they couldn't be as favored as their half-brothers and sisters, at least they could be happy and carefree all their lives.

Unfortunately, although there are many choices in front of everyone, there is only one way to go to the end in the end. And they chose the worst, the farthest from their original intentions and their original wishes, and the road of no return.

I only hope that they still have time to find the root of the problem, and I only hope that they will not really go to the end and refuse to look back.

Di Renjie sighed heavily.

"My lord, what's wrong?"

Seeing him like this, Di Qing couldn't help but be a little worried. But before Di Renjie could answer, he heard Di Fang sigh and say, "I said are you pretending to be stupid, or are you really stupid?" Can't you hear all those words just now? ”

"What?" Although Di Qing usually doesn't like to jump out like his brother, he also knows that when it comes to resourcefulness, his brother is not in the top ten, but also in the top twenty. In addition, Di Renjie saw that he was watching the things in the palace intently, and he didn't have the slightest thought to put here to explain to them, so he was honest, and asked his brother seriously: "What's wrong?" ”

"Don't you hear? Liu Cheng, the first to speak, asked the Ministry of Works, and it was clear that he was hinting to the lord that in order to avoid the matter of taking the heir again, he had to persuade the lord to send His Royal Highness Lu and Tuesday out of the palace in time, open a house, and live alone. ”

"Ridiculous!" Hearing his brother's explanation, Di Qing's eyes widened immediately: "Isn't this Liu Cheng stupid?" Regardless of the age of His Royal Highness the Prince, and he is deeply loved by the court, the storage position is as stable as Mount Tai and cannot be moved. only said that His Royal Highness King Lu has not yet been served, and His Royal Highness King Zhou is even more infantiled, how can he open a house and live alone? Fortunately, His Royal Highness King Lu didn't understand it when he was young, and if he did, I'm afraid he would think about it more! ”

Di Fang pursed his lips, shook his head and said, "Just say you're stupid...... You said that he Liu Chengwen has been an official for decades, and he has also followed the first emperor and the two lords of the present day. Don't you know the weight of what you say? ”

Di Qing was stunned, looked at the old minister with white hair, and immediately realized: "He did it on purpose...... knew that the queen would definitely not agree this time, so she had the heart to say these words when the two highnesses were there...... He wants to make His Royal Highnesses the crown prince and King Lu have a rift in their hearts! What a trick to borrow a knife to kill! It seems that his words about the close past with King Xun are not false. It's just that Wang Zhishuo, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who later followed and echoed it, and had a sour queen's mother's background, who was not worthy of raising the dragon race, was incomprehensible......

He was born in the Taiyuan Wang family, although he is not from the deposed Shuren Wang family, he can count the losses he has suffered because of the suppression of the Taiyuan Wang family over the years, and he is no better than anyone else. Speaking of which, he should have a grudge against the queen mother or the two kings of Xunqi. Why is he willing to come out and help the people of the two kings of Xunqi to speak? ”

Di Fang sneered, reached out and twisted a grape in his mouth, chewed it a few times before whispering:

"Is the enemy of your enemy your friend? For their own selfish interests, these so-called famous clans have done all the things that have no temperament and integrity, and there are still fewer? What's more, this time he looks like a stunned person who is making a mistake and helping the second king of Xunqi to speak...... As a result, the queen mother had a chance to fight back, and almost explicitly told everyone that the two kings of Xunqi were not right...... But you look, you look at him. ”

Di Fang softly motioned to Di Qing with his eyes to see that after being brought by Li Zhi's words, he wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead again and again, but covered his face with wide sleeves, and called the palace Li Zhimeiniang, Li Hong, Li Xiansu, and Wang Zhishuo, who showed a faint smile, said lightly: "Do you see it?" People are real horns. It's easy to cry when you want to cry, but when you want to break out in a cold sweat, you break out in a cold sweat...... This kind of skill is really very unattainable! ”

Di Qing immediately came to his senses, stared at the sleeve, and immediately returned to his panicked look, his eyes kept sweeping around Li Sujie and Li Shangjin, as if begging for help, and like pleading Wang Zhishuo, and taking advantage of the opportunity of raising a glass to echo the invitation of Li Zhi, quietly turned around, gave him a faint smile, and immediately turned his head to Liu Chengwen, who looked at the two for a while, and then sneered and drank all the wine in the cup with everyone, and then said: "I see...... But he is delicate...... Not only is this fart not wrong, it can be said to be the most wonderful stepping stone - such a person who is in a hurry to show loyalty to himself and is not smart, but he can be of great use for his family and official positions, whether it is His Royal Highness King Qi or His Royal Highness King Xun, it is very suitable to be a pawn......"

Di Qing drank another glass of wine, then looked at Li Shangjin, whose expression had returned to calm, and sighed with Li Sujie: "It seems that after today, this clan will firmly smash a secret nail into the mansion of the second king of Xunqi." ”
