It is said that Xiao Zhan only had to rush back to the capital in a hurry because Mrs. Liao died of illness, and the prince came to write to him to rush back as soon as possible.

This old lady Liao is the old son of Lord Liao, the head of the household department, and the third girl of Lord Liao was married to Xiao Zhan.

Therefore, Xiao Zhan should go back to mourn, and he had to rush to the capital non-stop.

He Yunzhi said: "Why is the eldest brother in such a hurry to leave? Didn't you say that you would leave for Beijing in two days? ”

Xiao Zhan said: "There are some things in the capital that I have to go back to deal with, and I have to leave early and late." In short, the second brother and the third brother are waiting for good news in Jeju. ”

Xiao Zhan said again: "I won't personally resign to the two uncles, and bother the second and third brothers to convey it on their behalf." ”

Generally, if he is busy with official business, Lord He does not go home to eat, and there is a large kitchen in the yamen, and the officials and officials all eat in the big kitchen. Mr. He and others have a small kitchen, and the chefs invited are all good, and they can rest for a while after eating at noon, so in the past few days, Mr. He has been eating in the yamen at noon.

After lunch, Xiao Zhan's entourage had already prepared their horses, and the more than 20 secret guards who came to work together had turned over and mounted their horses, all dressed in black and wearing black hoods, lined up in a line, which was very spectacular.

Those subordinates had never seen such a scene, and they ran to the front yard to watch the excitement.

Even alarmed the three girls who were having dinner in the back garden, and the pothos couldn't sit still, so she pulled Shao Yu and Meng Luo to sneak over to watch the excitement. Only then did Pei Shaoyu know that Xiao Zhan was going back to the capital in the afternoon, she felt a little uncomfortable, her eyelids were swollen and sour, but she still held back.

She hurriedly took Meng Luo and Lu Luo to come over and salute with a smile and said: "It turns out that Brother Xiao is leaving, last time in the temple, Brother Xiao saved me and Cui'er's lives, I haven't thanked you well, but I don't want Brother Xiao to leave in a hurry again." ”

Luluo was afraid when she saw Xiao Zhan, so she only hid to the end at this time, and didn't dare to speak, and Mengluo didn't dare to step forward too much.

Xiao Zhan smiled and said, "Yueniang doesn't have to take it to heart, you are like my own sister, you don't have to be so polite." ”

Shao Yu felt that he was really as good-looking as a demon when he smiled, and it made him even more handsome and extraordinary, and his spirit was flying.

Shao Yu took a step forward and took out a peace charm from his arms and said: "This is the peace charm that Yueniang asked for in the Guanyin Temple last time, give it to Brother Xiao, I hope this peace charm Brother Xiao has a smooth journey and arrives safely." ”

Xiao Zhan took the peace charm and said, "Then thank you Yueniang, the eldest brother accepted it." ”

said to Pei Shaoli and He Yunzhi: "Second brother, third brother will say goodbye, we will meet again in the capital." ”

Hearing only the sound of driving, the group left Hefu, disappeared in the dust, and soon disappeared around the corner of the street.

Ten days later, Xiao Zhan rushed to the Pingxi Palace, which is located on Zhuque Street, the street is about four zhang wide, the blue bricks are paved, and the whole street belongs to the Pingxi Palace. This mansion was built by the emperor for his younger brother especially for the king of Pingxi.

Xiao Zhan went straight to the Pingyi Hall in the courtyard where the prince lived, and the little eunuch at the door saw that Xiao Zhan was back and hurriedly reported to him. At this time, Manager Wang said with a smile, "The Sprinkle family has seen General Xiao, and the prince is angry inside, General Xiao should be careful." ”

Xiao Zhan said: "Then thank you for the reminder." With that, he went into the study.

Xiao Zhan knelt down on one knee and saluted, "My son visited his father, I heard that Mr. Wang said that his father was angry, I don't know what to do?" ”

This Pingxi King Xiao Kun is only in his early forties, has no beard, is dressed in a purple python robe, wears a golden crown, and is very heroic.

He picked up Xiao Zhan with both hands and said, "My son has worked hard all the way, please get up quickly." It's not because of your unsuccessful brothers, Qi Er almost killed the youngest son of Prime Minister Wang some time ago, and this king beat him up and drove him out.

It's only been a few days, and Chong'er insulted Miss Cousin of the Fuguo Mansion because she was drunk in the Puguo Mansion, and she was really angry with the king. ”

Xiao Kun said again: "The road is still smooth, your excerpt has already been seen by this king, and I am very relieved that you are doing things." ”

Xiao Zhan said: "Father is angry, my son heard that the youngest son of the prime minister Lord Wang is very arrogant and domineering, and there is no one in his eyes. The third brother's character son understands that he will never hit someone for no reason.

As for the second brother, this matter is even more outrageous, even if the second brother is at fault first, it's a big deal to accept the woman. ”

Xiao Kun sighed and said: "The Holy Lord is already very jealous of this king now, Qi Er and Chong'er caused such an incident, and those imperial histories will inevitably add fuel and vinegar to make a big fuss." ”

Xiao Zhan said: "The saint and the prince are originally related by blood, but they were instigated by those ministers, besides, this is not necessarily a bad thing." The worse the performance of the prince, maybe the saint will be more relieved. ”

Xiao Kun patted Xiao Zhan's shoulder and said, "You still win my heart the most, but my father owes you the most." ”

Xiao Zhan hurriedly knelt down again and said: "Father, don't be like this, my son thinks it's very good, everything that was originally my son has been put down, I just hope that my father won't mention it again in the future." ”

Xiao Kun nodded, and at this time, he only heard the sound of the girl's house talking outside the door.

Then the door was opened, and a girl of fifteen or sixteen walked in, dressed in an apricot-colored full-breasted skirt embroidered with moire, wearing a red dripping bead crested golden step, and her ears were ruby earrings.

This girl is the daughter of King Pingxi, the lord of Zhaohua, and the pearl of King Pingxi.

The county lord of Zhaohua smiled sweetly: "Meet my father and eldest brother, I heard that the eldest brother is back, and I can't believe it." ”

King Pingxi pretended to be angry and said: "You are a county lord, why don't you understand any etiquette, I am talking to your eldest brother, you don't know how to knock on the door and come in, be careful that your father asks your maid and grandmother." ”

The county lord of Zhaohua choked his mouth and said: "Daddy spare his daughter, my daughter won't dare next time, don't be angry, don't be angry, my daughter will help you beat your back." ”

said that he really helped the prince beat his back, how could the prince still be angry.

The county lord of Zhaohua saw that the prince was not angry and said, "Did the eldest brother bring me any fun?" ”

Xiao Zhan also smiled slightly: "Big brother is in a hurry, I didn't bring anything fun, how about taking you to buy it in two days." ”

The prince said: "Zhan'er, there is a lot of dust on the way, and I haven't had a good rest, hurry up and wash up, and this king will pick up the wind and wash the dust for you at night." Tomorrow you will go to Lord Liao's house to offer condolences. ”

Xiao Zhan replied "yes" and retreated, and the county lord of Zhaohua also followed.

The county lord of Zhaohua caught up with Xiao Zhan and said, "Is it fun to have big brother Jeju?" Can I go to Lord Liao's mansion with you tomorrow? ”

Xiao Zhan said with a smile: "Zhao'er, eldest brother is going to Jeju on an errand, how can he have time to play." And tomorrow, you can't go to the adult's house, be obedient, and take you to buy fun when the eldest brother is done. ”

The county lord of Zhaohua couldn't, so he could only purse his mouth and sulk.

Xiao Zhan returned to his yard, and Shuwen beside him hurriedly ordered someone to fetch a bucket of bath water, and then closed it and guarded it outside.

Xiao Zhan stripped naked, he was tall, his legs were even and slender, and he looked very muscular, he suddenly touched the peace charm on his neck, and took the peace charm down from his neck, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The peace charm was contained in a blue embroidered bag with orchids embroidered on it, and Xiao Zhan put the embroidered bag on the table. After taking a shower, he put the embroidered bag around his neck again.

Xiao Zhan said to the book outside the door: "I don't need you to wait, hurry up and go down and wash, and rest well." ”
