Chapter 158: Request

General Xiao came to the palace today for two purposes, the first was to see how Xiao Yao's body was recovering; The second reason is to ask the granddaughters what they think. It's good to think about what you should say and do when you enter the palace, but you have to think twice before you can speak in front of the emperor.

At the gate of the palace, Xiao Jingkang was looking forward to it there, seeing that the time for the emperor to summon him was coming, but his father did not appear, and he didn't know where the old man went?

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, Xiao Jingkang turned his head to look, and saw his father galloping from a distance on a horse.

"You're here." Xiao Jingkang stepped forward to meet him.

"Let's go into the palace." General Xiao was much calmer than his son, he handed over the horse to his entourage, and then followed his father-in-law who led the way to the palace gate.

"Why aren't you in a hurry at this time?" General Xiao was very dissatisfied with his son's performance today, when he didn't arrive, he was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and when he arrived, he didn't move, how did his son, who was so slow to react, give birth to a clever and smart child like Ping'an!

"Here, slow down, my son wants to ask you something, where did you just go?"

"Behold peace and wishful thinking."

"Then why don't you take me there!" My wife has seen my daughter, and my father has seen it today, but my father hasn't seen it yet!

"I found Yun Boy, he took me in, the princess lives there, do you think it's appropriate for you to go? I'll tell you that He'an has a good face now, and he gets along well with the county lord, so you can put your heart in your stomach. ”

Hearing is false, seeing is believing, no matter how easy others say, Xiao Jingkang can't let go of that worried heart.

The eunuch outside the imperial study saw General Xiao coming, and sang loudly: "General Xiao is here, Xiao Shilang is here." ”

"This father and son are very punctual." Just finished playing a game of chess, the affairs of the Han family have been discussed by the brothers for a few days and have been sorted out, King Jing is looking forward to the matter being dealt with as soon as possible, but he has been living in the palace for several days, and he has long missed his wife and daughter.

"Biography." The emperor sat down behind the bookcase again, ready to meet the Xiao family father and son.

"Chen Xiaohu saw the emperor and saw King Jing."

"Chen Xiao Jingkang saw the emperor and met King Jing."

"Get up, how is the old general's arm injury recovering, and what is the injury on Lord Xiao's face."

"Emperor Xie is worried, our injuries are all fine."

"I heard from the Imperial Doctor that General Xiao's right hand will be limited in the future, and it's best not to exert any more force, right?"

"The minister is already old, as long as he can hold chopsticks and raise the wine glass with both hands, other things are not so important to the minister."

"Doesn't the old general want to hold his granddaughter?" Ever since he watched how General Xiao doted on his little granddaughter, King Jing has never forgotten it, if it weren't for the imminent storm, if it weren't for the fear that his mother would notice the Xiao family, King Jing would have to recognize Xiao Yao as his goddaughter.

"Let King Jing see and laugh." General Xiao knew that King Jing was ridiculing himself, he didn't feel ashamed, he just felt sorry for his granddaughter, because his granddaughter was also the closest to him, whether others were jealous or unaccustomed to it, this was a fact that would not change.

"I remember, you said that General Xiao's granddaughter was injured, is she better now?"

"Emperor Xie cares, the minister's little granddaughter is much better, and I want to thank King Jing and the princess, if it weren't for the care of the two of them, my granddaughter's body would not have recovered so quickly."

"The old general is polite, if it weren't for your father and son sacrificing their lives to protect each other, I don't know what the situation would be like now?" King Jing thinks that what he has done is too much worse than that of the Xiao family's father and son.

"With the general's current physical condition, he should cultivate well, Xiao Jiu and Ah Chen, I will find another master for them, according to King Jing, there are still exchange conditions between you, Brother Xuan, what is your agreement." The emperor seems to have become accustomed to his younger brother giving himself a prelude from time to time.

"The younger brother promised General Xiao that after the five-year period expires, he will ask the imperial brother to give the Xiao family a plaque."

"Whatever the old general wants me to mention, I can say it now." The emperor meant that General Xiao could make a request, and as long as General Xiao said it, he could write it immediately.

"The minister hasn't taught for five years, so he doesn't dare to ask for it."

"There is a reason for it, how can I blame you! You go to the northwest to pick up King Jing's matter, I have another reward, now let's talk about the plaque first. ”

General Xiao pondered for a moment before kneeling on the ground in the center of the main hall, and Xiao Jingkang hurriedly knelt behind his father.

"What's the matter with the old general, it's good to have something to say, why kneel?" The emperor and King Jing looked at each other, and they couldn't figure out what General Xiao was going to do.

"The old minister knew that there should be no idea of wrongdoing, but there was a reason for it, and the old minister thought about it again and again, so he had to ask the emperor for one thing with the cheekiness."

"Tell me about it." The emperor believes that General Xiao is not a person who can make inches, and I don't know what he will ask for today.

"After the minister came back this time, he learned that his little granddaughter had been injured, and he didn't know when he would heal, and what it would be like after he recovered, so the old minister wanted to change his request, asking the emperor to allow the little granddaughter of the minister's family to marry independently in the future."

"How old is your granddaughter now, you are worried a little earlier!"

"The minister is worried, the child is not in good health, what if he is disliked by his in-laws because of physical reasons in the future, so the minister thought about it for several days before thinking of this method, if there is a family that reassures the minister in the future, it doesn't hurt to let the granddaughter marry, if you can't find such a family, the minister wants to recruit a son-in-law for the two granddaughters, don't ask for anything, as long as they are good to my granddaughter."

"Don't you have grandchildren at home?" I haven't heard that there are several grandchildren in the family, and they also recruit sons-in-law for granddaughters, how worried you are about handing over your granddaughters to other people's families! Even the emperor can't calm down now.

King Jing is a little able to understand General Xiao's behavior, Xiao Yao's appearance is too outstanding, I am afraid that in two years, Kyoto will be famous, in case any of the emperor's relatives fall in love with her and ask the emperor for marriage, General Xiao's family is powerless to resist at all, and now take precautions early, you can put an end to those who ask for relatives, and the emperor will not embarrass the Xiao family and let people enter the palace.

This Xiao Hu seems to be reckless, but in fact he is a very clear person, he knows when to make decisions, which has been felt by King Jing of the Northwest, not to mention that the little girl is really similar to him at this point.

Seeing that General Xiao was determined to change his request, the emperor pondered for a while and turned his eyes to King Jing, he hoped that his younger brother could give a suggestion.

"General Xiao is also worried that his granddaughter will have such an idea, so the imperial brother might as well fulfill him." King Jing didn't think it was a big deal, so he planned to do a favor.

King Jing would never have expected how much trouble he would bring to his son in a few years if he had the ability to foresee, how could he not let the imperial brother agree to Xiao Hu today.

"I promised Xiao Qing that I would not give a decree to marry until you nodded and agreed, and the girls of your Xiao family can marry freely, and others are not allowed to interfere, is this okay?"

"Emperor Xie is complete, King Xie Jing." General Xiao's wish was granted, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be relaxed, and it was the first time for the emperor and King Jing to see him so happy!

"Go back and prepare first, for the will of the reward will come in these two days." The emperor was a little stunned by General Xiao's smile, you are a big man, and you are an old man, is it really good to smile like this? It's very dazzling to know.

After General Xiao retreated, the emperor curiously asked about Xiao Yao, can he not be curious? Xiao Hu, the old man, would rather give up the opportunity to shine on the lintel than keep his granddaughter, what kind of child does this have to be for him to do this!

"Their little granddaughter?" King Jing didn't want to sell Guanzi, because he had only met Xiao Yao a few times, and the child's temperament was really hard to describe. You say she's naughty, if people sit there quietly, they can really be a model of demure and elegant ladies and gentlemen; But if you say that she is demure, it is not like that at all.

"Is it so hard to say?" The emperor's curiosity has been mobilized at this moment, whether it is good or bad, beautiful or ugly, just to put it bluntly, is there something hidden that does not tell people?

"Since you promised General Xiao, you won't go back, right?" Don't wait a while, I'll tell you that the kid will grow into the first beauty in Kyoto in a few years, and if you regret it, then the younger brother won't be able to explain to General Xiao.

"Of course I won't regret it, you can talk about it quickly!" The emperor hated to pry open his brother's mouth with his own hands and hang the emperor's appetite, so he King Jing had the courage.

"That child has outstanding looks and a pleasing personality, anyway, my brother's family likes her very much." King Jing thinks that he is very objective and fair to say his opinion.

"Even Ah Chen and Ruonan like her?" How cold Ah Chen is, how difficult it is for Ruonan to get close, the emperor as an uncle is very clear, and the emperor can't help but ask a few more words.

"Look at what you said, Ah Chen is a boy, why do you like people? I mean, my husband and wife, and Ruonan like her a lot. ”

"Then why didn't you say it earlier, how good it is for me to point her out to Ah Chen, your family likes her, and you will definitely be able to get along in the future."

"Ugh!" King Jing has never had this idea, the main reason is that the little girl is too young, if his son wants to marry her, he has to wait for many years, when will he and his wife want to hold their grandson can come true, no, it's too long, and he can't wait.

"That little girl is too young, I don't want my son to get married at my age."

"That's right, if you are interested, you can also marry two side concubines for Ah Chen first, and you won't delay holding your grandson!" This younger brother is sometimes really brainless, obviously he is a prince who is above 10,000 people under one person, but he only guards one princess. There are so many women in the house, they are just to cope with the decoration of the queen mother, I really don't know what the plan is, you can forget it yourself, do you still want your son to live this kind of life?

The emperor secretly calculated in his heart that as soon as his nephew turned fifteen, he would send him a few more stunning beauties, and never let him live like King Jing like an ascetic.
