Outside the imperial study, two Ouchi guards in dark yellow suits stood on their sides, and under the steps not far in front of them, five figures waited quietly, and the wide courtyard was quiet, as if there was an invisible pressure everywhere. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xiao Yixuan was standing in the middle of these five figures at this time, on his left and right sides, they were Xiao Yiquan and Xiao Yilian, who had just been freshened up, and the figures at the other two ends were the other two princes, Xiao Yixuan noticed that these two people were both upright and dignified, just a dark-skinned, fair-skinned abnormal, quite a feeling of black and white, he knew that the fair-skinned one was the fourth prince Xiao Yilong, who had the least relationship with him on weekdays, unless there was any major matter in the palace, Otherwise, he will basically only nest in his own room, a full otaku, and the one with a dark complexion is the fifth prince Xiao Yining, this thing is the youngest of the five princes, but it is the biggest thorn, its covetousness for the throne is simply stronger and more obvious than the second Xiao Yiquan, and even asked the emperor to change the prince many times in public, but without exception was drunk and retreated by the emperor Xiao Tianjing. It is a common thing to withhold the monthly salary, but this goods do not know how to advance or retreat, and every time they are punished, they still do not repent, until now.

The emperor summoned the emperor, at any time is not an hour, and the same is true for the princes, so when they heard about this, the five princes who were in various parts of the palace immediately hurried over, until now, the sky has become dark, and they have been waiting here for almost an hour, but even so, even the third and eldest children, who are the most grumpy among the brothers, dare not mumble a no.

"The emperor has a decree to announce the audience of the five princes!"

Finally, the unique voice of the former father-in-law Ke Durong came from the imperial study, Xiao Yixuan and the other four glanced at each other, and then raised their heads and stepped into the imperial study.

At this time, although the sky has darkened, but the imperial study is brightly lit, I saw that in the huge space in the hall, almost every five steps there is a large candlestick, the six dragon jade pillars shine golden, through the hall, and then go back, I saw in front of the door of the inner hall, an old eunuch with a withered face stood there, as Xiao Yixuan stood still in front of him, he did not hurry to give him a salute, stretched out his hand to the room, and said softly: "The old slave is honored to see His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highnesses the Prince, the emperor has just finished practicing, I'm waiting for a few of your highnesses. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yixuan nodded, took the lead in opening the gilt door curtain, collapsed in, and several princes behind him also entered with him, as soon as he came in, he saw a golden luan throne heavily wrapped by a giant purple gold curtain, and there was a figure sitting faintly on the throne, Xiao Yixuan and several princes knew that it was their father Xiao Tianjing, who came to the steps in front of the throne and stood still, and then knelt down together, and said in unison: "Erchen to see his father, long live my father, long live long live my father." ”

"Let's be flat."

When the words fell, I heard Xiao Tianjing speak lightly, the voice was hoarse, as if it contained indescribable exhaustion.

Hearing this, Xiao Yixuan and the other five princes stood up respectfully, but Xiao Yilian pouted impatiently, noticing his movements, Xiao Yixuan also ---knew in his heart that it had been ten years, just ten years ago, Xiao Tianjing could be called a generation of Ming Jun who worked hard, but since ten years ago, a bull-nosed old Taoist who claimed to be a Baixia Taoist entered the palace, he began to become addicted to cultivation and alchemy, as if he was pursuing the so-called immortality all the time, and almost nine out of nine major affairs in the court were delegated by him to several ministers to take care of, also listened to the nonsense of the Baixia Daoist, in the name of 'nobles do not show their faces', they no longer show their faces in front of others, and hide behind the curtain all the time, so that even his own sons are difficult to see their true faces.

Thinking like this, Xiao Yixuan repositioned his gaze on the vague figure behind the curtain, and listened to Xiao Tianjing then slowly speak: "On the tenth day of the ninth month, it is the day when foreign envoys enter Beijing to meet with each other, and the Ministry of Rites comes to report that the foreign envoys will arrive one after another after the first day of the new year. ”

Saying that, Xiao Tianjing paused slightly, as if just two short sentences could consume a lot of his vitality: "I thought, although this court meeting is not a big deal, but it is also a once-in-a-three years, and several of you are all older, but you have never done anything in the affairs of the DPRK and China. What do you think? ”

"Son's Honor."

Hearing this, Xiao Yixuan and the others obeyed the order.

Xiao Tianjing: "Very good, the specific matters, Ke Durong will be handed over to you, let's go down first... Yi Xuan, you stay. ”

"The sons and daughters are respectful, and the sons and daughters are retired."

only heard the four people behind him respond in unison, and then retreated respectfully, leaving Xiao Yixuan alone standing in place, with the stillness of the curtain behind him, Xiao Yixuan's heart also lifted slightly.

Sure enough, before a few breaths had passed, Xiao Tianjing asked, "Yi Xuan, I heard that you went to Jingxin Garden today, yes or no?" ”

"Father's Father."

I saw Xiao Yixuan bow slightly and said, "Erchen did go to Jingxin Garden for a turn today. ”

"You're recovering from a serious injury, what are you going to do there?"

Xiao Tianjing then said, obviously a little unhappy between his words.

Xiao Yixuan was well aware of this, but he didn't show the slightest panic, and suppressed his temperament and returned: "Ah, it's not a big deal, it's just that Erchen just woke up today, and he was so idle that he was going to go out for a walk, and I happened to hear a few palace people chatting, saying that the Mongolian knife was strange in shape and extremely sharp, so I wanted to see it... ”

Saying that, Xiao Yixuan smiled embarrassedly, and continued: "It's just that Erchen thought about it, but he couldn't think of a place where the Mongolian knife could be stored, and then he thought that in the Meditation Garden, isn't there a concubine from Mongolia, so I want to go over there to see, if there is, I will borrow it to play with it, but I never thought that Erchen just arrived there, and I was still thinking about how to get in, the concubine's courtyard was on fire, and it burned so clean, it's a pity... ”

"What's the pity."

In Xiao Tianjing's impression, his eldest son never seemed to lie to him, and he didn't dare to lie to him, and then seeing that he said it really and looked relaxed, the doubts in his heart were a little less at the moment, and he smiled: "Not to mention that the concubine had no long things when she went to the palace five years ago, it is impossible to have what you want, even if there is, how can the Mongolian inferior sword be as sharp as my Dayue's sword?" Those palace people who secretly talk about it really deserve to be punished! ”

With that, he paused, as if taking a sip of tea, before continuing, "Sit down." ”

"Thank you, Father."

As soon as Xiao Yixuan sat down, he heard Xiao Tianjing say, "Yixuan, how old are you this year?" ”

"Father, the emperor, the son's birthday on August 11, just over 18 this year."

Xiao Yixuan got up and returned, thinking that this was so familiar.

"Eighteen, not too small."

Sure enough, I heard Xiao Tianjing laugh and continued: "When a man is an adult, if he doesn't have a wife and concubine by his side, he will always be like a word, and let outsiders say it, and the same is true for rich and noble families, let alone the royal family?" I pondered, choose a day for the Ministry of Rites to arrange a family affair for you, what do you think? ”

Xiao Yixuan was shocked when she heard this, thinking that it had not been twenty-four hours since she was reborn, and this began to arrange a marriage? He also knows the marriage situation of the children of the royal family, most of them are linked to politics, and the one who can marry is not the daughter of this minister, or the granddaughter of the prince, in case this cheap dad finds himself an extremely ugly woman, then why don't he find a piece of tofu and die head-on?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yixuan was anxious, and hurriedly got up and said, "Father think twice!" Erchen is still young, and in recent years, he has been busy studying martial arts, and he has no intention of being a woman, about the princess, can he wait for another two years? . . ”

"Who said I was going to make you a crown princess?"

Before Xiao Yixuan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xiao Tianjing with a smile: "Even if I want to stand, can those ministers in the court agree?" Do you know how many princes and ministers in the court are staring at the position of this crown princess? I dare to say that as long as I release the news of the crown princess today, those ministers will be able to fight for me tomorrow! The name of the father-in-law of the country, but a piece of fragrant dumplings, I still want to be stable for a while, and I don't have the heart to do these things... What I mean is to find you two or three knowledgeable side rooms first, and the principle that a man starts a family first and then starts a career is an ancient admonition, so that you don't run into that cold palace all day long, and make people laugh all day long! ”

Speaking of the last sentence, Xiao Tianjing's tone obviously had the meaning of teasing, Xiao Yixuan was blushing when he heard it, and at the same time he was relieved, it seems that Xiao Tianjing really didn't pay much attention to Gu'er's speed, and used it to tease himself without saying anything, and he didn't even ask about his life and death from beginning to end.

At the same time, Xiao Yixuan can also see that this emperor really has an extraordinary favor for himself, but when he thinks of the 'side rooms' that he is about to appear, his heart goes up and down, and he doesn't know how to put it into words...
