Chapter 174: Still low-key
"Dad, how many times has Prince Zhao lost to you?" Xiao Qiongzhi asked Xiao Zhengzhen with a smile.
"Sixth." Xiao Zhengzhen said happily.
No wonder Prince Zhao was a little rude in front of Prince Kun just now.
He's actually quite determined.
Xiao Qiongzhi remembered that the year before last, Qiu Qitong, the dean of Linfeng Academy, who was known for his demeanor, had his whole face black when he lost to Xiao Zhengzhen six times in a row.
At that time, his little servant was arranged by his wife to come and urge him to go home, and he borrowed a bloody nose and criticized a lot of people.
Xiao Qiongzhi deliberately told Prince Kun about this in a loud voice, so that Prince Kun, Zhou Dayong, and Zhou Duoqin could understand what Prince Zhao was a little rude in front of them just now.
Unexpectedly, after listening carefully, Prince Kun's face turned dark.
Xiao Qiongzhi was surprised and asked him, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"I'm angry." Prince Kun said in a deep voice.
"Why?" Xiao Qiongzhi was puzzled.
Prince Kun said: "Prince Zhao and I live in the same courtyard. Early this morning, when I was out of the courtyard, I met him and asked him to go to the Yanyu Pavilion with me to cheer for my classmates who participated in the poetry competition. ”
"He told me that his father entrusted him with some things for his old classmates, and that he didn't have time to go to the Yanyu Pavilion today, so he would wait until tomorrow."
"Now it seems that his father's old classmate must be Uncle Xiao."
"And he played chess with Uncle Xiao, it should have been from the morning to the present!"
Xiao Qiongzhi didn't think there was anything to be angry about.
She patted Prince Kun on the shoulder and gently persuaded: "If that's the case, you don't need to be angry with him." ”、
"After all, you don't know each other very well, he didn't tell you clearly that his father's old classmate refers to my father, which is also human nature."
Prince Kun shook his head and said; "I'm not mad at this. I was angry that he didn't keep his word and came to your house alone today. ”
"You don't know, I, him, my cousin, Zhou Dayong, Zhou Duoqin and others, since they met in the canteen of Linfeng Academy at the beginning of the month, often get together to eat and talk."
"We have already discussed, we must study our homework together first, and when you come back from the West, we will come to your house to see you together."
"Prince Kun, you misunderstood, I didn't come to see Zhi'er this time, but at the behest of my father, I came to visit Uncle Xiao, and I didn't lose my trust in you and others." At this time, Prince Zhao suddenly stood up, looked at Prince Kun, and said with a serious expression.
Prince Kun turned his head, glared at Prince Zhao very unceremoniously, and said, "My father, the king, and the queen mother, as early as the beginning of the month, instructed me to bring something to Uncle Xiao and Aunt Xiao, why didn't I come to see Uncle Xiao alone?" ”
Speaking of this, he remembered the two sandalwood boxes he was holding in his arms.
He handed them to Xiao Zhengzhen one by one, pointed to them, and said loudly: "Uncle Xiao, this is what my father and queen mother ordered me to bring to you and Aunt Xiao when I came to Lanling at the beginning of the month. ”
"This wooden box carved with a dragon contains a gift from my father; This wooden box carved with a phoenix contains a gift from my mother to Aunt Xiao. ”
"Your father and queen mother are so polite. Thank them and thank you. Xiao Zhengzhen immediately took the wooden box and said with a smile.
"Uncle Xiao is too polite." Prince Kun smiled back.
Next, Xiao Zhengzhen asked people to remove the chessboard and chess pieces, and invited everyone to sit down and make noise together.
Prince Yi and Prince Xuan often come with Xiao Jinjia, and they can be regarded as frequent visitors to the mansion, they know Xiao Zhengzhen's temper better, and their speech is more unrestrained.
But they are not talkative people, and they rarely interject when no one asks them.
Prince Zhao, Zhou Dayong, Zhou Duoqin, Zhou Duoniu, Zhou Shishan, and Zhou Meixing seem to be relatively restrained, usually when no one asks them, they will choose to listen carefully and not say much.
It's Prince Kun, who is more talkative.
However, the content of his conversation was more ingenious, and it was all about what happened after meeting Xiao Qiongzhi today, so that Prince Yi, Prince Xuan, Zhou Dayong, Zhou Duoqin and others except Prince Zhao could interject.
"Zhi'er, you used to be in Zhilan Academy, but you were still too low-key."
"For a nonsense like Du Qianqian, you don't need to tolerate it, and there is no need to waste time and energy arguing with her."
"In the future, if you encounter this kind of goods again, you will directly show your identity as Princess Zhong Ling, you will be beaten if you should be beaten, and you should be sent to the Criminal Department for punishment, and you will be sent to the Criminal Department for punishment!" Xiao Zhengzhi listened carefully to what Prince Kun said, and said to Xiao Qiongzhi cautiously.
"Okay." Xiao Qiongzhi nodded obediently, but had other plans in her heart.
Probably because in the memory of another world in her mind, the habits of harmony, democracy, friendliness, and equal treatment are too deep.
Unless she has to, she usually doesn't use her power to suppress people, or she uses her identity to suppress people.
When she can reason and make sense, she will try her best to reason with others.
Even when it doesn't make sense to be reasonable, as long as the other party doesn't show too much malice, she is often willing to choose to tolerate it moderately and give the other party a chance to mend his ways.
"Princess Zhong Ling? Second uncle, grandpa has named Zhi'er Princess Zhong Ling today? At this time, Xiao Jinjia suddenly asked Xiao Zhengzhen.
He looked extremely surprised.
In fact, not only him, but also Prince Xu, Prince Yi, Prince Xuan, Prince Kun, Zhou Dayong and others also looked extremely surprised.
Xiao Zhengzhen smiled and said, "No, your sister was named Princess Zhongling by your grandfather as early as five years ago because she made great contributions to our Great Xiao." ”
"It was your sister who kept a low profile and asked your grandfather not to tell the world about this, so that only a few people present at the time knew about it."
"What great achievement did my sister make?" Xiao Jinjia asked curiously.
"It was she who came up with the method of cultivating hybrid rice seeds and handed them over to our national teacher, so that our national teacher was able to make the entire people of Daxiao worry about food and clothing within three years of your grandfather's ascension to the throne." Xiao Zhengzhen said.
"Oh, that's what happened! Hahaha, second uncle, there is one thing that you must not expect, that is, our national teacher is actually none other than Zhi'er! Xiao Jinjia said proudly.
"Oh? What's going on? At this moment, it was Xiao Zhengzhen's turn to be surprised.
He has met with the "national teacher" several times, but he never saw that the other party was actually Xiao Qiongzhi.
This is not counting, the most important thing is that Xiao Xuanliang has always trusted and respected him, the eldest grandson of the eldest house and the prince of the prince's mansion.
He really never dreamed that Xiao Xuanliang had never let him know about Xiao Qiongzhi's promotion of Xiao Qiongzhi as the Great Xiao National Teacher, including Xiao Qiongzhi himself.
