Chapter 225: Protecting the Calf
As for Xiao Xuanliang's second son Xiao Zhendao and third son Xiao Zhenye, they are quite capable.
Among them, Xiao Zhendao has five sons and one daughter under his knees, and Xiao Zhenye has three sons and two daughters under his knees.
Their children each have several children, and if they remain in the capital, the prince's mansion will be the most prosperous family in the entire capital and within four generations.
But back then, they were able to help Xiao Xuanliang at first, and patiently persuaded Xiao Zhen's family to return to the right path.
Later, after watching it for a long time, I gradually lost confidence in Xiao Zhen's family and was ashamed.
In line with the principle that out of sight is pure, as early as more than 10 years ago, they invited themselves to Jingbian at the same time, and took their families to stay away from the capital, one went to the northern border city of Beichuan and the other went to the western border city of Yulan to defend the border.
And, probably because they were used to life there, until now, they rarely come back.
"Zhi'er, you came just in time, the bicycle improvement method you mentioned last time is very useful."
"My car, after being improved by the craftsmen arranged by your father, is now far less strenuous when climbing the hill." As soon as Xiao Xuanliang saw Xiao Qiongzhi in the crowd, he stopped the bicycle he was riding and greeted Xiao Qiongzhi happily.
At this time, he had already descended from the court, and was in the imperial garden, riding a bicycle along an asphalt road less than a meter wide, enjoying the scenery.
His bicycle was given to him by Xiao Qiongzhi as a birthday gift half a year ago.
At that time, there was also the asphalt road in the Imperial Garden.
However, the asphalt stone road was not paved on his birthday.
As early as a year ago, in March, Xiao Qiongzhi once entered the palace and accompanied him to take a walk in the Imperial Garden, and found that the granite pavement of the Imperial Garden was too slippery after the rain.
"Great, grandpa, you are riding a bicycle at a very high level now, you can consider facing the whole country and paving asphalt roads."
"Then, when you become the queen of the Taishang, you will hike on a bicycle and see enough of the great mountains and rivers of the motherland." Xiao Qiongzhi hurriedly pressed his left hand with his right hand, bowed his head slightly, made a simple blessing salute to him, and said with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll leave the asphalt paving to your father-" Xiao Xuanliang said this, only to find that Xiao Zhengzhen didn't come with Xiao Zhen's family to say goodbye.
He asked Xiao Qiongzhi curiously: "Zhi'er, where is your father?" ”
Xiao Qiongzhi replied truthfully: "Grandpa, my father and Brother Jin Jia are helping me and doing a very important thing, and I can't get away from it today, they asked me and my mother to ask you for peace on his behalf." ”
Xiao Xuanliang immediately nodded: "Okay, it's okay, your affairs are all important, they will handle it, so I can rest assured." ”
Next, under the leadership of Xiao Xuanliang, everyone went together to greet Emperor Xiao Han.
It's just that Xiao Qiongzhi's grandfather, Xiao Xuanliang, has an easy-going personality and is informal.
When everyone comes to greet him, they only need to observe the etiquette of ordinary children and elders, and they don't need to call him His Majesty and bow down.
Mrs. Xiao Qiongzhi's grandfather, Xiao Han, is different.
He attaches great importance to etiquette, as long as his children and grandchildren greet him, he must bow three times and bow nine times, even Xiao Xuanliang, who has ascended the throne and became the emperor, is no exception.
Moreover, he was very shrewd, and he had already figured out that it was Xiao Zhengzhen who instructed Xiao Qiongzhi's second grandfather to go to the small mountain on the other side of Baibao Mountain, kill all his guards and shadow guards, and force him to write an edict to abdicate.
In the past eight years, every time Xiao Zhengzhen brought Chen Lingfeng and Xiao Qiongzhi to greet him, he would deliberately ignore them, making them the last objects to be "discovered" by him and signal to get up.
Because of this, Xiao Qiongzhi was not willing to ask Xiao Han for peace at all, and almost every time, he quietly hid behind Chen Lingfeng and pretended to kneel.
However, today, his luck was very bad, when Xiao Xuanliang took everyone to greet Xiao Han, he suddenly stood up and walked over to Xiao Qiongzhi's side, looking unpredictable.
Xiao Xuanliang thought that he did this because he found out that Xiao Zhengzhen and Xiao Jinjia did not come, and he was afraid that he would embarrass Xiao Qiongzhi, so he immediately reminded aloud: "Father, Zhengzhen and Jinjia were arranged by me for important affairs, and I will only have time to greet you tomorrow morning." ”
Xiao Han turned his head and glanced at him sternly, then quickly turned around and continued to walk towards Xiao Qiongzhi.
Xiao Qiongzhi couldn't help but be depressed.
Although Xiao Han is tall, Xiao Han used to sit in the seat, as long as he didn't look closely, he couldn't see that she was hiding behind Chen Lingfeng and was kneeling.
But now, Xiao Han stood up and walked over condescendingly, and she would definitely soon be able to see that she was fake kneeling.
In order to cover up the truth, she simply stood up before Xiao Han approached, and asked Xiao Han with a look of surprise: "Grandpa the Emperor's wife, do you have something to look for me?"
Xiao Han stared at Xiao Qiongzhi coldly, and said sharply, "I do have something to look for you!" Zhong Ling, tell me about it, you give me a greeting, squatting instead of kneeling, who taught me? ”
"Grandpa Taishang's wife, you are mistaken! I greet you, and I never squatted instead of kneeling. Xiao Qiongzhi deliberately defended with an aggrieved face.
Xiao Han obviously came to find Zhu'er, so she wouldn't admit it stupidly.
Anyway, as long as she doesn't admit it, as big as Xiao Xuanliang and as small as Xiao Susu, she will cover for her.
Because, over the years, Xiao Zhengzhen, Chen Lingfeng and her have treated everyone well.
is also because, before Xiao Han, he suppressed his juniors, except for Xiao Xuanliang, who has always respected Xiao Han's old father, everyone else has no good impression of Xiao Han in their hearts.
Especially Xiao Zhen's family, often in front of his children and grandchildren, in front of Xiao Xuanliang, complained that Xiao Han is famous, and has been an emperor for more than 70 years.
"Presumptuous, do you dare not admit it? This was told to me by your aunt Mingzhu when she came to see me yesterday! Xiao Han said angrily.
"What? Emperor Taishang, is Mingzhu crazy about her gains and losses? How can you accuse Zhi'er like this? ”
"Why didn't I ever know that Zhi'er was squatting instead of kneeling and asking you to say goodbye?" At this time, Xiao Zhenjia suddenly spoke.
The meaning of calf protection is very obvious.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, you may not know that the girl of the Mingzhu family is exquisite, and because of a private meeting with Su Yuchen a while ago, she was sent to the Good Women's Rehabilitation Center by Prince Yi of Dongxingguo to be sent to the Good Women's Rehabilitation Center for three months."
"Mingzhu is in a hurry, and she looks like she's crazy about gains and losses lately!" Ruan Yulan then spoke.
The meaning of calf protection is also very obvious.
However, Xiao Qiongzhi was a little moved.
After all, Xiao Mingzhu is Ruan Yulan's biological daughter, and she, separated by layers, is just a granddaughter.
Moreover, she also ridiculed Ruan Yulan for not being "enlightened" before.
Ruan Yulan, as her grandmother, was really surprised to help her so disregarding her suspicions at a critical moment.
