Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Guilt of Petitioning
Talking about this, Xiao Yixuan knew that if he continued to ask, he would seem to be abnormal, after all, according to his own position, he should need to hide his feelings for Gu'er Besu, no matter how small the possibility of his current performance being exposed to the mastermind behind the scenes.

Therefore, when the two sides finished chatting about this topic, Xiao Yixuan returned to the previous appearance of few words, and after a while, as if he felt that Xiao Yixuan was in a bad mood, Wu Ri Gengda took the initiative to say that because of the fatigue of the journey, he wanted to go back to rest, for this request, Xiao Yixuan did not allow it, and immediately asked Liu Wengui to escort the other party and his party back to the post house that had been set earlier, but he did not get up to send him off, and sat on the spot in a daze, as if he had lost his soul.
Seeing that the figures of the other two completely disappeared at the staircase, Xiao Yixuan waved his hand again and sent away the little two and maids around him, and then his face showed a relaxed look, which made Mu Jingjing and the other three on the side look strange.
It's just that the prince is concerned, as subordinate guests, they don't dare to ask more, so they accompany Xiao Yixuan to eat and drink for a while, and then they get out of Tingfeng Pavilion and prepare to go back to the palace.
Under the eager escort of the shopkeeper of the Drunken Immortal Building and other people, Xiao Yixuan saw that outside the gate at this moment, there were two figures kneeling at the end, and he felt strange in his heart, and walked forward quickly, only to find that the two figures were Liu Zhaozhao and Cui Kejian who had met in the Tingfeng Pavilion before.
It turned out that the two brothers were wandering on the street today, and accidentally saw Xiao Yixuan's guard of honor from a distance, and they came forward to watch it when they had nothing to do, but after this onlooker, they suddenly discovered that the current prince in this honor guard was the son who was against them on the Tingfeng Pavilion that day, and he was so frightened that he lost his soul at the moment.
In a panic, Liu Zhaozhao immediately messed up, if he was told to run to fight with other important ministers on weekdays, he would not have really been afraid of anyone, but the one in front of him was a serious royal child, and he was the current prince! Above one person, under ten thousand people, the next generation of emperors! How can it be compared to those wine bags and rice bags?
If the crown prince remembers his hatred against Liu Zhaozhao, let alone him, even the entire Liu family of his military department Shangshu Mansion, the lightest of them may all have to be sent to the southern barbarian land to eat chaff! Even if he is the brother-in-law of the third prince, it is not easy to do it!
To say that this Cui Kejian is also righteous enough, seeing that Liu Zhaozhao was anxious to become a large spinning top, and he didn't want to avoid suspicion, he immediately came up with an idea, and after ordering his subordinates to make some preparations, he pulled Liu Zhaozhao all the way to follow Xiao Yixuan's reliance to the Zuixian Tower, and then waited for everyone to go up, and went straight forward and knelt in front of the gate, and asked Jing to come.
At this time, seeing Xiao Yixuan leading people out of the Drunken Immortal Building, the two of them also trembled, and then said respectfully in unison: "Sinner Cui Kejian!" ”
"Sinner Liu Zhaozhao!"
"See His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chitose Chitose Chitose!"
These two guys, although they are still eighteen or nineteen-year-old young people, have not yet participated in any science and technology palace examinations, and have no fame, but because of their fathers, they have found official positions in the imperial court early.
Although this kind of thing is unreasonable, it is also a common phenomenon in the capital, and the emperor also secretly acquiesced, after all, the current emperor hates officials for being greedy for ink, and the financial aspect itself is extremely tight, if even this little bit does not damage the convenience of the imperial court, it is too much to say.
Therefore, after Xiao Yixuan heard that the two claimed to be self-proclaimed, she did not have a special reaction, but sneered and said loudly: "It turned out to be the two of you, tell me, what are you guilty of?" ”
"Back to Your Highness!"
When the words fell, I heard that Liu Zhaozhao had the courage to respond: "It's all because the criminal didn't know the identity of His Highness earlier, and he inadvertently collided with His Highness, which is really disrespectful!" Please punish Your Highness! ”
At the same time, Cui Kejian on the side also echoed in a deep voice: "The criminal minister urges his friends to be unfavorable, so that unhappiness occurs, please also punish His Highness!" ”
With that, the two men pressed their heads deep into the ground, and then they did not move.
Xiao Yixuan watched the two of them behave like this, and he didn't care much about it, after all, after thinking about it, the other party would have a bigger temper when he didn't know his identity, and this Cui Kejian could stop his friend in time, which can be regarded as a well-informed and good demeanor, not to mention that Liu Zhaozhao is still the third brother-in-law.
Besides, one of these two is the son of the General's Mansion, and the other is the son of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, although he himself said before that there is no need to deliberately start the courtier's wooing by the younger generation, but since the opportunity is in front of him at this moment, it happens that he is idle today, so it is a good opportunity that should not be missed.
Thinking like this, Xiao Yixuan didn't say anything for a while, thinking about how to pull these two people onto his thief ship without a trace, and this silence was so terrifying in the eyes of Liu Zhaozhao and Cui Kejian, I saw Cui Kejian quietly raised his head slightly, glanced to the side urgently, and a charming figure stepped out, Xiao Yixuan heard the movement, turned his head to look, but saw that Qiao Minmin had come to his side at some point, and he saluted and said loudly: "The people's daughter Qiao Minmin sees His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"It turned out to be Sister Qiao."
Seeing this, Xiao Yixuan smiled slightly and said, "No wonder you are not on the Drunken Immortal Tower today, it turns out that you were pulled by these two guys as rescuers?" ”
Hearing this, this Qiao Min was not as flustered as when he received the prince's order last time, and then he smiled charmingly, and said flatteringly: "Back to His Royal Highness, the people's daughter actually went out in advance, and only met Liu Gongzi and Cui Gongzi halfway, it is rare that the two sons can afford the people's daughter, and it just so happens that the people's daughter has something to inquire with His Highness, so she walked all the way and was temporarily pulled to work." ”
"Yes."
After the words fell, Xiao Yixuan stared at a pair of tall glances on Qiao Minmin's chest as if he was frivolous, and said: "Some parts of my sister's body are really strong, it seems that they didn't pull the wrong person." ”
"Your Highness laughed."
Hearing this, Qiao Min replied with a blushing face, and at the same time he was also depressed in his heart, thinking that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was sometimes serious and sometimes frivolous, and he didn't know what kind of virtue he really had.
Look at Xiao Yixuan's side again, and then turn his head to Liu Cui and the others who were lying on the ground and said, "That's it, those who don't know are not guilty, get up!" What should I do, don't bother me when it's okay! ”
He deliberately said this very impatiently, in order to make the two of them feel uneasy, and sure enough, after his words fell, Cui Kejian hurriedly said: "Your Highness Xie is magnanimous!" It's just that even if His Royal Highness forgives the ministers now, my ministers are still very uneasy in their hearts, and I ask His Highness to appreciate his face, so that the ministers and other brothers have a chance to make amends! ”
"Oh?"
Seeing that the other party was obedient and took the bait, Xiao Yixuan was also secretly happy, but on the surface, he pretended to be impatient, and asked, "How do you want to remedy it?" ”
"Back to Your Highness!"
This time, it was Liu Zhaozhao's turn to speak up, and I saw this black fat man with a big face and said with a strong smile: "In order to show remorse, the ministers specially set up a banquet by the Xiyuan Lake today, and invited the famous literati in Beijing and the top girls in Qinlou Chu Lane to be there to cheer up, and please Your Highness can not hesitate to appreciate your face... Oh yes! His Royal Highness the Third Emperor Brother was also invited... ”
Hearing this, Xiao Yixuan is a pleasure, okay, this guy seems to be fat and stupid, but he is very quick to make small moves, these two goods must have caught a glimpse of themselves on the street today, and then they recognized themselves as guilty, but I didn't expect that in such a little time, these two goods can not only summon people to have a banquet, but also ask people to move the third child over, but it is enough to be profitable.
At this point, Xiao Yixuan would no longer shirk it, and immediately shook his head helplessly and sighed: "That's it, okay, just give the third child a face." ”
Hearing this, Liu Cui and the others were overjoyed: "Your Highness Xie appreciates your face!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the two of them jumped up from the ground, eagerly opening the way for Xiao Yiquan, the latter's subordinates naturally followed, and on the other side, Qiao Minmin did not say goodbye, but came up and said, "Your Highness has forgotten the people's daughter?" ”
"Forget no one, you can't forget Sister Qiao."
Hearing this, Xiao Yixuan grinned, and actually reached out and picked the other party's smooth chin--- for this kind of woman who has nothing to do with herself, this product is as casual as it gets: "By the way, Sister Qiao said that I have something to inquire about, I don't know what an important matter?" ”
In the face of Xiao Yixuan's teasing, Qiao Minmin didn't dare to dodge, and after receiving a finger from the other party, she also held her pretty face red, but between the words, she said it calmly and decently: "It's the matter that His Royal Highness entrusted to my family's big boss before." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Yixuan was slightly stunned: "There is news so soon?" ”
