In the imperial study, for a long time, quietly.

No one spoke.

Gonggong Wu didn't dare to speak at all.

He looked at Huo Yixiao, this prince threw the cannon and waited to hear it, he looked at the emperor again, the emperor's face was cloudy, and he was trying very hard to suppress his anger.

After a long time, the word "you" came out between the emperor's lips.

"You ......" the emperor took a deep breath, "There are so many noble girls in the world, why do you want to marry her?" ”

Huo Yixiao asked knowingly: "Why can't Wen Yan?" According to what you said, if you have the right background, you can learn, and you can adapt to life in the capital and even in the palace, I think it is suitable. ”

The emperor was so angry that he pressed his eyebrows.

What is suitable!

If it was in the past, it would have been appropriate, but now it is different.

Wen Yan is the daughter of a criminal minister, and it was already a blessing to let their sister and brother go all the way at that time.

Yes, last year's Pingxi Hou collaborator case, there is still a truth behind him that he has never grasped, but the case has been closed.

If Huo Yixiao marries Wen Yan, doesn't it prove that Pingxi Hou is not guilty and Xia Taifu is not wrong?

"Correcting" a wrongful case, a year before and after?

It's a slap in the face!

"Wen Yan is not good," the emperor tried to slow down his tone as much as possible, and said earnestly, "In the capital, in Lin'an, and in other places, there are so many noble daughters from so many families, no matter what kind of noble background you are, as long as you open your mouth, I can give you a marriage, and you can change one." ”

Huo Yixiao glanced at the emperor and looked away again.

Before he said it, he knew it was such a reaction.

If he hadn't been provoked by Zhu Sheng as soon as he entered the palace, and his irritability had nowhere to vent, Huo Yixiao would not have had a showdown with the emperor directly.

He scoffed.

The reaction was all expected, but the irritability was no less.

"You mean, anyone but Wen Yan can do it?" Huo Yixiao asked.

The emperor bowed his head: "It's all right." ”

"That's okay," Huo Yixiao took over, "You can marry Cheng An to me." ”

The emperor was stunned, and pressed the armrests of the dragon chair with both hands: "What......"

"Failed?" Huo Yixiao didn't see the emperor's anger, and said to himself, "Is it because you dislike me for having no fame and no future?"

Then I will go to Guozijian to make a name when I leave the palace, participate in the autumn festival next year, and try the spring festival the year after tomorrow.

If you look similar, give me a convenience in the palace test, any of the top three.

If Cheng An is too old to wait, won't there be Cheng Huan? ”

The emperor stood up angrily, pointed at Huo Yixiao, and trembled: "Bastard!" Wild! You're just going to be! ”

Talk to him well, and block it again and again, those who can still be said to be children's tempers before, can be ignored.

But what are these last?

It's not an exaggeration to say a word!

Which Guozijian dares to let him be named?

Autumn test spring pour, who dares to let him participate?

If you give one of the top three, is the big test for the imperial court to select officials and talents for him to play with him?

The most hateful thing is to say that Cheng An and Cheng Huan, he knows whose son he is, and he still says such things, isn't he going to be angry with people?

Gonggong Wu held the emperor and shouted "The emperor is angry", and his eyes couldn't help but hint to Huo Yixiao, asking him to quickly kneel down and ask for guilt, it's okay if he doesn't kneel, beg for mercy, and say a few nice words......

Huo Yixiao turned a blind eye.

The emperor waved away Gonggong Wu's hand and shouted: "I just punished you lightly, I don't know how thick the sky is!" Get out and kneel, no one is allowed to get up without my orders, and it is useless for the concubine to intercede! ”

Wu Gonggong "You, you, you" wanted to persuade, Huo Yixiao had already stood up, how did he get in, and how did he go out.

Outside the imperial study, the cold wind gusted.

The chamberlains and guards looked at each other.

They heard the emperor's anger, but no one heard it clearly.

Gonggong Wu chased him out, only to see Huo Yixiao lifting the hem of his clothes and kneeling down in the small square.

It's rare that there hasn't been snow in the past few days, but the winter in the capital is already cold, and I'm afraid that my knees can't stand it when I kneel on the bluestone slab floor tiles.

He trotted in front of Huo Yixiao: "Childe, you just serve a soft ......"

"Isn't that a succumb?" Huo Yixiao said.

Gonggong Wu almost choked in one breath, and the punishment of kneeling is to be soft, which means that if he doesn't accept the softness, he won't even kneel, and he will go directly to the concubine to say goodbye, right?

Who is this person's temper like?

When the emperor was young, he was not such a stubborn temper.

Alas!

"You," Gonggong Wu shook his head helplessly, "You stubbornly stand up, isn't it yourself who suffers in the end?" ”

It's really hard to describe how these two get along.

The emperor can't grasp the scale well, and the fourth prince is even more nonsense.

The fourth prince didn't treat the emperor as the son of heaven at all, otherwise, he would never be able to say such bold words, but he didn't treat the emperor as his father......

Every time there is a confrontation, it is bound to lose both.

The fourth prince is not afraid of punishment at all, and he does not back down when the punishment is heavy and light, but the emperor regrets it after the punishment, and it doesn't take long to forget it.

This time it made the people on the side tremble and was in a dilemma.

Gonggong Wu couldn't persuade Huo Yixiao, so he could only return to the imperial study.

The emperor continued to correct the folds, without raising his head, and said, "If you intercede for him, you will kneel with him." ”

Gonggong Wu had no choice but to shut up.

The thick folds were changed one after another.

Gonggong Wu looked up at the sky outside, and it was already dark.

He glanced at the emperor carefully, then tiptoed out and asked the attendant who was guarding outside: "The concubine Niangniang hasn't sent anyone over yet?" ”

The chamberlain said, "No." ”

Gonggong Wu frowned, didn't the concubine Niangniang know that the fourth prince had come back and had been punished?

It shouldn't be.

I have been kneeling for more than half an hour, and in the past, it didn't take a quarter of an hour for Father-in-law Qi to come to the rescue.

"Let the individual go to Changning Palace to have a look." Wu Gong took the bus on his behalf, and then served another cup of hot tea and sent it to the bookcase.

The emperor put down his pen, sipped hot tea, and looked at him.

Wu Gonggong said: "The little one just saw it, and the fourth son is still kneeling, and he is not lazy." ”

The emperor snorted and did not pierce it.

He has to go to Changning Palace when he is free, talk to Concubine Huo well, let her take care of Huo Yixiao, and don't be so impulsive when she talks.

What can't you say?

I have to say something terrible.

Father-in-law Qi came late and entered the imperial study to see the emperor.

The emperor responded to the situation.

Father-in-law Qi asked Huo Yixiao to get up, and asked with concern: "Fourth son, can you still walk on two legs?" ”

"It's fine." Huo Yixiao moved slightly, and followed Gonggong Qi to Changning Palace.

In the warm pavilion, Concubine Huo was leaning on the pillow, her legs were covered with a thin blanket, and Mama Deng was pressing her legs through the blanket.

She raised her eyes and looked at Huo Yixiao: "Do you want to walk slower than me in the future?" ”

Huo Yixiao smiled and sat down beside her: "I'm still a little far from the day when I can't walk." ”

"......" Concubine Huo said angrily, "It's close to punish a few more times!" ”
