Chapter Twenty-Seven: The First Meeting
As soon as Pei Xiu appeared, everyone's eyes were focused on him, some people had a look in their eyes, and some people had schadenfreude in their eyes, even disdain. In short, all kinds of expressions fell into Pei Xiu's eyes.
Pei Xiu didn't care about these gazes, he had been used to them for a long time in the past few years.
But there are a pair of eyes that he can't ignore.
Pei Xiu raised his head slightly, and his starry eyes looked straight ahead, but he crashed into a pair of calm and waveless phoenix eyes. The owner of the phoenix eyes looked at him quietly for a few moments, and then moved his eyes slightly away under his gaze.
Pei Xiu had never seen such clear eyes, and he seemed to be able to see everything about himself completely, there was no joy or sorrow in those eyes, only a faint and pure curiosity.
He seemed to have never been stared at like this.
The girl's appearance is also very good in the field, and she looks particularly conspicuous in a circle of warblers and swallows, and Pei Xiu even thinks that she is much better looking than her sisters and sisters.
What's more, the girl sat quietly in a corner, neither bending to greet her, nor making a noise to win favor, so that he couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
Before Pei Xiu could take a few more glances at the girl, the emperor's greeting had already brought him back to reality.
Pei Tianyu happily, almost eagerly, said to Pei Xiu: "Little Liu, why did you come here today?" Come and sit down next to my father. ”
As soon as these words came out, the people around him all looked different.
The eldest prince still maintained an indifferent expression, the second prince smiled lightly and whispered with Qing Xue'er, and the third prince's face was a little gloomy......
Pei Tianyu didn't see the expressions of his sons next to him, or even if he saw it, he wouldn't pay attention to it.
The ministers wisely chose not to speak, and on this day, who didn't know that the emperor's favorite person today was his six princes. Back then, if it weren't for the accident of the sixth prince, he would have inherited the crown prince long ago.
After the sixth prince was disabled and disfigured, he hid in his mansion all day long and did not want to come out, even if the emperor wanted to see him, he hid from him. It seems that it has been a few years since the six princes appeared in front of the world.
If it weren't for the emperor's attitude today, everyone would almost have forgotten about this young genius.
Over the years, the emperor still has not established the position of the crown prince, although the ministers have doubts in their hearts, guessing that the emperor still wants to pass on the throne to the six princes, but this is obviously impossible. The Six Princes were clearly incapable of governing the country, so over the years, many ministers had secretly divided into factions that supported the princes they believed had the potential to become the king of a country.
Everyone knows these things, but they don't say it openly.
But today, in this grand palace banquet, the six princes who have not shown up all this time actually appeared, what did he want to do? After all, judging from the attitude of the emperor today, the emperor did not give up on him because the six princes had not been waiting to see him before, but he was so happy. This shows that in the emperor's heart, the weight of the six princes is still very heavy.
Pei Xiu didn't care what everyone thought in their hearts, he came today just to see one person, and it had nothing to do with other people.
Looking at the eagerness in Pei Tianyu's eyes, Pei Xiu's eyes were still gentle, but the words spit out from his thin lips were: "No need for my father, I can't push a wheelchair, just sit at will." ”
Pei Tianyu was very disappointed when he heard Pei Xiu say this, but what Pei Xiu said was indeed the truth. He sat on a high platform, and it took a lot of effort for Pei Xiu's wheelchair to move over.
At this moment, Pei Tianyu even hated the design of this lobby a little, he wanted to be like an ordinary father, accompany Xiu'er, even if it was just to have a meal, look at him, and he would be satisfied.
But what happened back then...... Xiu'er may still hate him in his heart, but all this is his fault, and even if Xiu'er ignores him, he should be. But now that Xiu'er can appear at the palace banquet and even talk to him, he is already very satisfied.
If others knew what Pei Tianyu was thinking, I am afraid they would be shocked. After all, Pei Tianyu is the king of a country and the most noble man in Tianli Country, but his wish is just to sit with his son and eat a meal quietly.
Su Wanqing watched silently from the side, and she was really a little surprised when she looked at the legendary crippled and disfigured six princes.
He has a pair of calm but gentle eyes, which are bottomless, but there is no inferiority complex and pain, which makes Su Wanqing feel an urge to understand this man.
She looked around and found that many of the girls had regretful expressions on their faces, as if they felt heartache for such a good teenager back then.
But Su Wanqing knew in her heart that these people were just disappointed because they had a good husband candidate.
Without waiting for Su Wanqing to think too much, Pei Tianyu spoke softly again: "Then where do you want to sit Xiaoliu?" Father immediately asked Xiao Shunzi to prepare chopsticks for you. ”
Pei Tianyu's words once again stunned the people present, you must know that the little Shunzi that the emperor said is not small, and now he is about the same age as the emperor, and he has been by the emperor's side since he was a child, so he can be said to be the emperor's most trusted person.
Even the ministers and concubines in the palace have to politely call "Father-in-law Shun" when they see Xiao Shunzi, it is conceivable how much the emperor attaches importance to the six princes.
