Chapter 222: Visiting the Xiao Mansion (Part II)
People say that knowing the son is better than the father, but in fact, it is okay to say it the other way around.
As Xiao Rui's eldest son, he couldn't be more clear about what kind of person his father was, so when he heard that Xiao Yu and Gao Ming were drinking together and were still drunk, the surprise on his face could be said to be clear at a glance.
Seeing his expression, Empress Xiao immediately gave him a gentle slap.
"What do you say about your father?"
Speaking of this, Empress Xiao immediately covered her mouth and laughed.
"But you're right, as for whether they quarreled or not, don't you see your father knowing now?"
Hearing Empress Xiao's words, Xiao Rui immediately frowned.
"Auntie, do you mean to ...... My father got His Royal Highness the Crown Prince drunk? This can't be, I can't understand my father's temper anymore, if he doesn't drink, let alone the prince, even if the emperor comes, it won't work, unless he ......"
Speaking of this, Xiao Rui's eyes widened suddenly.
"Unless His Royal Highness the Crown Prince provokes him!"
Hearing Xiao Rui's words, Empress Xiao immediately smiled and nodded.
"It seems that you really know your father, that's right, at that time, your father and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince drank too much, and your father spoke disrespectful words to His Majesty, but he refused to admit his mistake, so he annoyed the prince."
As soon as Empress Xiao's words fell, Xiao Rui suddenly gasped.
"Shhh...... Father actually said bad things about His Majesty again? And it was said in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? How can this be? ”
Seeing Xiao Rui's anxious look, Empress Xiao suddenly smiled and waved her hand at him.
"Rui'er don't worry, although your father said disrespectful words, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not plan to denounce him, but chose to fight with your father, and said that if anyone runs away halfway, it will be ......"
Gao Ming's original words were "Whoever runs away halfway is a grandson", but according to Queen Xiao's upbringing, she can't say this kind of thing, so she can only say it differently.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that if anyone runs away, he will be the same as Shouye."
"Who's been with Shouye for the same generation?"
Xiao Rui has a son named Xiao Shouye, so when he heard Queen Xiao's words, Xiao Rui immediately reacted.
"Is what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is talking about...... Who ran and who is grandson? ”
"Ahem......"
Hearing Empress Xiao's cough, Xiao Rui suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, and he quickly lowered his head.
"Since my father is drunk, then I will come back tomorrow to greet him, aunt, and I will send you back to rest!"
Hearing Xiao Rui's words, Empress Xiao immediately smiled and shook her head.
"No need, you can go back by yourself, by the way, your father will definitely not be able to get up tomorrow if he is drunk like this, so remember to help him take a leave of absence when he goes to the morning court tomorrow."
"Yes, Rui'er knows!"
Xiao Rui agreed and went back to rest.
When he went to court the next day, Xiao Rui helped Xiao Yu take leave, but he didn't say that Xiao Yu couldn't get up when he was drunk, but that he was unwell.
At this time, Li Shimin and Xiao Yu had not turned their faces, and the relationship between the two was not bad, so I heard that Xiao Yu was unwell, and after leaving the court, he took two imperial doctors, and then went to Xiao Yu's mansion with Xiao Rui.
Xiao Rui didn't expect Li Shimin to bring the imperial doctor back with him, so he didn't dare to tell the truth of the matter at this time, so he had to take Li Shimin back to Xiao Mansion with a hard head.
When he entered the door, Li Shimin saw the hundred horsemen at the door, and he immediately frowned.
"The prince didn't return to the palace last night, it turned out to be here."
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Xiao Rui also knew that he couldn't hide it, so he hurriedly saluted Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his father drank together last night, so ...... Hence ......"
Looking at Xiao Rui's spitting appearance, Li Shimin laughed.
"So you're drunk, aren't you? I didn't expect Xiao Yu to get drunk one day, if you're drunk, you'll get drunk, what's not to say? But your father is old, and drinking too much of this wine will hurt his body, so it's better to let the imperial doctor take a look! ”
"What Your Majesty said is, Your Majesty, please!"
With that, Xiao Rui took Li Shimin and the imperial doctor into the Xiao Mansion.
As soon as they arrived at the door of the backyard, they heard the sound of Gao Ming laughing from inside.
"Whahaha, old man Xiao, did you lie down first last night?"
As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Xiao Yu's voice came out.
"Yes and what? Do you want the old man to call you grandpa? ”
Hearing the sound of conversation inside, Li Shimin and the others standing outside the door were suddenly dumbfounded.
What's going on?
Xiao Rui knew the truth of the matter, but just as he was about to speak, Li Shimin made a silent gesture towards him, and seeing Li Shimin's gesture, Xiao Rui had no choice but to keep quiet.
And at this time, Gao Ming's voice came out of the courtyard again.
"Hehe, old man Xiao, I don't dare to let you call me grandpa, don't look at me like this, in fact, I still respect the old and love the young, so let's laugh at me, oops...... I asked you to laugh at me, why are you glaring at me? Isn't it cowardly, if you want to talk, it doesn't count? ”
Xiao Rui stood outside the courtyard, and immediately smiled bitterly in his heart after hearing Gao Ming's words.
"Father is the most unprovoked, and this time he will definitely suffer the loss of His Royal Highness the Prince."
Xiao Rui had just thought of this when he heard Gao Ming's voice ring again.
"Even buy Ga, old man Xiao, you are also laughing? It's even more ugly than crying, it scares me to death, do you think you want to scare me to death? No, laugh again! ”
“……”
"Amitabha, you are a Buddha, I make you laugh, what do you want to do with your mouth open? Are you trying to bite me? No, laugh again! ”
“……”
Listening to the voice inside, Xiao Rui suddenly showed a helpless face, he didn't need to look at it, just listening to the voice, he knew that Xiao Yu was tricked by Gao Ming.
At this time, Xiao Rui didn't want to go in, because he knew that if he went in, Xiao Yu, who was in a depressed mood, would definitely be angry with him.
Compared with Xiao Rui, Li Shimin's mood is much better, and the corners of his mouth are a little more smiling.
"Okay, you're a Xiaoyu, you're usually angry, but now you've met someone who cleaned you up, right? This is to make one thing and one thing to descend, I see how long you can endure it? ”
seemed to be responding to Li Shimin, and it didn't take long for Xiao Yu's sad and angry voice to come from inside.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, you can't be humiliated, what do you want?"
Hearing Xiao Yu's voice full of grief and resentment, Li Shimin suddenly became more refreshed.
"Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, I didn't expect you to have today, Gao Ming, work harder, clean up this old horseman, and let him know that our Li family is not easy to bully."
At this moment, Li Shimin sincerely felt that Gao Ming was really great, and even his anger in the imperial study became indifferent.
Xiao Rui originally wanted Li Shimin to go in and persuade him, but after seeing the latter's happy and satisfied face, he dispelled his unrealistic thoughts and secretly apologized to Xiao Yu in his heart.
"Father, father, don't blame your son for not helping you, it's really that you offended Your Majesty too hard before, and your son really can't help you!"
At this moment, Gao Ming's voice sounded again.
"Old man Xiao, look at you, you can't even laugh, so let's give me a hippie smile first, then a flower and a smile, then a look back and a smile, and finally ......"
Before Gao Ming's words fell, Xiao Yu's voice sounded again.
"In the end, the old man can smile at Jiuquan!"
"That's not what I said!"
"Humph!"
Hearing the conversation inside, Li Shimin almost couldn't hold back his laughter, but at this time, in his mind, Xiao Yu's hippie smiling face and smiling with flowers kept rolling.
"Poof......
In the end, Li Shimin still couldn't hold back his laughter, and when he heard his laughter, Xiao Yu's roar suddenly rang out.
"Who? Who's out there? ”
Hearing Xiao Yu's roar, Li Shimin hurriedly stopped smiling, and then glanced at Xiao Rui.
Seeing Li Shimin's eyes, Xiao Rui immediately knew that Li Shimin was going to let him take the blame, but he couldn't refuse, so he had to grit his teeth and walk in.
"Father, it's me."
Seeing Xiao Rui coming in, Xiao Yu was immediately angry.
"Son of a, what is the reason why you are humiliated inside for your father, and you are snickering outside? Today, the old man will kill you as an unfilial son, so as to clean up the portal! ”
"Oops...... Father's anger! ”
Seeing Xiao Yu chasing Xiao Rui all over the yard, Gao Ming immediately sighed.
"Hey, old man Xiao, okay, you shouldn't be angry with others when you're angry, right? Big deal, I won't let you laugh, stop! ”
As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Xiao Yu sneered again.
"Hmph, my son who was beaten by the old man, what happened to His Royal Highness Prince Guan? Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince even has to take care of this? ”
Seeing that Xiao Yu's oil and salt did not enter, Gao Ming suddenly became angry.
"Hey, I said, why don't you know what to do with this old man? Okay, it's your son anyway, if you like to fight, you can fight well, dogs fight dogs, cats fight cats, beat me to pick up urine bubbles. ”
Xiao Yu: "You! ”
Xiao Rui: "Ahem, cough, cough......"
was ridiculed by Gao Ming for such a gag, Xiao Yu couldn't do anything with Xiao Rui, so she could only stare at him fiercely.
"Why are you still stunned? Is it so that people can see the joke? ”
"Yes, yes, I'll go!"
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Xiao Rui nodded hurriedly, and then left quickly.
After Xiao Rui left, Gao Ming smacked his mouth at Xiao Yu.
"Tsk, old man Xiao, I said don't be tough either, I know you have an opinion about my old man, but isn't Aunt Xiao back now? Let's open it! ”
At this time, Empress Xiao also came out, and after hearing Gao Ming's words, she also helped persuade her.
"Yes, Shiwen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, don't be stubborn."
As soon as Empress Xiao's words fell, Xiao Yu snorted again.
"Hmph, His Royal Highness the Prince, rest assured, the public is public and private, and the old man will not use private to abolish the public."
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Gao Ming immediately sighed.
"Well, I said, why can't you figure it out? It just so happens that Aunt Xiao is also here now, so I'll be blunt. ”
Speaking of this, Gao Ming turned his head to look at Empress Xiao again.
"Aunt Xiao, in fact, I don't think you are too much of a loss, although my old man is a little overbearing, but he is young, he is less than fifty-five this year, you see that you are in your seventies, and he can only be regarded as a tender grass in front of you."
Speaking of this, Gao Ming suddenly gave his little thumbs up, as if to say that Li Shimin is really "tender".
As soon as Gao Ming's words came out, everyone inside and outside the courtyard was shocked.
Empress Xiao: "......"
Xiao Yu: "......"
Li Shimin: "......"
