Chapter 160: A Matter of Face
Xiao Yulin smiled brightly and said to Xiao Ziteng: "Prince, since Sister Zhong doesn't like it, don't make it difficult for you." Sister Zhong has already received the prince's kindness, so the prince will take this cloak back and keep it for a good life! Since it is something that cannot be sent, if you give it to others, I am afraid that others will also be dissatisfied. ”
Xiao Yulin said this to tell Xiao Ziteng that this cloak can no longer be given to others. Otherwise, wouldn't others want it, and give it to them what others don't want? And it's something that even people like Zhong Yuqi don't want.
Xiao Ziteng also knew this truth, so he had to say: "Since this is the case, the prince has to take the cloak back and keep it." ”
Xiao Yulin said: "The prince can use it himself!" ”
Xiao Ziteng sighed softly, and seemed to be a little sad and said, "Hey! Ordinary nephews sent things out, but they didn't take them back. In the future, I am afraid that as soon as my nephew sees this cloak, he will think that Sister Zhong doesn't like this cloak, so why should my nephew use this cloak again? ”
Zhong Yuqi said to Xiao Ziteng: "I'm sorry, His Royal Highness the Prince!" It's not that this cloak is bad, it's that I don't need it, and it has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
Xiao Ziteng said: "It's okay! The prince is not afraid of the cold, and he is fine without a fur cloak. It's a pity that this cloak can't be given out anymore, it's a pity! ”
Xiao Yulin said: "Since you can't use it, then sell it!" It's worth a lot of silver! Although there is no shortage of money in the prince's mansion, you can't put this cloak to rot, right? ”
Xiao Ziteng said: "My nephew will deal with it by himself." ”
Xiao Yulin said: "Does the prince have other things?" If it's okay, it's inconvenient for us to disturb Sister Zhong here. It's cold in this room, so it's better to let Sister Zhong stay in the inner room. ”
Since Xiao Yulin is like this, Xiao Ziteng doesn't have much else, so he has to say: "In this way, this prince won't bother Sister Zhong!" ”
Over, Xiao Ziteng stood up.
Zhong Yuqi also stood up and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is serious!" ”
Xiao Yulin stood up, waved his hand at Xiao Ziteng, let Zhong Yuqi stay, and then took Xiao Zi out of the room.
Xiao Ziteng's face was a little lonely, but he finally saw Zhong Yuqi, and it was not in vain
Xiao Yulin and Xiao Ziteng and others walked to the gate of the main courtyard, and Xiao Yulin stopped.
Xiao Yulin said to Xiao Ziteng: "If the prince has nothing else to do, go back to the house!" After studying hard for a year, it's time to rest! ”
Xiao Ziteng was a little surprised, and said: "Uncle Huang, it's difficult for my nephew to come here for a visit, Uncle Huang doesn't talk to my nephew, why do you want to drive my nephew away so soon?" It's almost time for dinner, and my nephew can't even get a meal? ”
Xiao Yulin looked at the color and said, "Ah! Today's qi has changed suddenly, and this king has forgotten the time. Ma Liu, what time is it? ”
Ma Liu replied: "Back to the prince, it will not be long before Shen Shi. ”
Xiao Ziteng said: "Uncle Huang, look at this, Uncle Huang should know that it's not too early!" It's getting darker today than the other day! ”
Xiao Yulin pretended to be unhappy and said: "You talk a lot!" Can't this king see it? There is still a lack of food in your prince's mansion, and you still want to come to this king to beg for food! ”
Xiao Ziteng said: "How is the meal in my nephew's house, Uncle Huang doesn't know!" Uncle Huang has been there a few times, but every time he doesn't dislike the food in his nephew's mansion is not as good as that in his uncle's mansion? In this case, of course the nephew has to come to the imperial uncle to beg for food! ”
Xiao Yulin said: "The prince is like this, does he think that the personnel in this prince's mansion are better than those in the prince's mansion, so the prince is not convinced?" Or, does the prince want the personnel in this palace? ”
Xiao Ziteng hurriedly said, "Where is Uncle Huang?" My nephew is just telling the truth! Uncle Huang should be happy when he hears it, why did he blame his nephew? ”
Xiao Yulin said: "You are the crown prince, the future emperor, if this king's things are better than yours, where will you put your face as the emperor?" ”
Xiao Ziteng said: "In the lower room, not all the best personnel are in the palace Zheng Moreover, the imperial uncle is the elder of the nephew, even if there are good personnel, the nephew should be filial to the imperial uncle!" What's the point of face? ”
Xiao Yulin nodded and said, "Hmm! Count your son and filial piety! Every word you say, this king has taken it to heart! If you want to repent one day, this king will take it out! ”
Xiao Ziteng said: "Uncle Huang only disciplines his nephew!" Even if the nephew becomes the emperor in the future, the imperial uncle can say it to his face. ”
Xiao Yulin said: "Since the prince is so filial, this king also knows what to do." Ma Liu, you go and tell the kitchen, the prince has dinner in the mansion today, and ask the kitchen to make a table of good wine and food. It will take some time to prepare the meal, and the king will talk to the prince in the room first. ”
"Yes!"
Ma Liu waved his hand and called a servant to pass the word.
Xiao Ziteng waved his hand at the servants he brought, and Meng Guifu ordered these servants to go back to the prince's mansion first. Subsequently, Xiao Ziteng and Xiao Yulin entered the main courtyard together.
Xiao Ziteng said to Xiao Yulin as he walked: "Uncle Huang, since you want to prepare a table of good wine and food in the evening, it is better to invite Sister Zhong to join us, and the three of us can also have a lively time." ”
Xiao Yulin's eyebrows were slightly raised, and he said, "Sister Zhong has never liked to be lively, so it's better not to disturb her quietness." ”
Xiao Ziteng gritted his teeth secretly, and blamed himself in his heart for using inappropriate words, so that he missed this opportunity.
Xiao Ziteng said, "Uncle Huang, today is the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, and there are still some days before the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve. My nephew didn't get together much with Uncle Huang this year, and my nephew wanted to stay in Uncle Huang's house for a few days so that he could get closer to him. ”
Xiao Yulin said: "If it's too late, you can stay in this palace for one night, and it's fine." It's just that it's still early, and there is no reason for this king to leave you in the mansion for the night. Besides, you are the crown prince, if you always live in this king's mansion, others will still be suspicious, and our uncle and nephew will have any secrets. ”
Xiao Ziteng was a little puzzled and said, "What does Uncle Huang mean by this?" The imperial uncle is the nephew's own imperial uncle, and the nephew is the crown prince, what else can there be secrets? It's not like others to want it, the emperor's uncle and nephew have a habit of breaking their sleeves, right? That's laughing! ”
Xiao Yulin said: "This is a thing. I'm afraid that others will spread it randomly, what does this king and you have to do with it! ”
Xiao Ziteng frowned and said, "Don't you see what to do?" What's the matter? Kill people, or set fires? Shh What nonsense! ”
Xiao Ziteng flicked his sleeves disdainfully.
