And Xiao Han didn't seem to enjoy the love of the people very much.

He frowned, his face darkened, his eyes swept them sternly, pointed at Xiao Qiongzhi, and said in a loud voice: "This is my great-granddaughter Princess Zhong Ling, when you all salute me, why don't you give me a salute by the way?" ”

"Don't you know that my son, your Majesty Emperor Xiao, has announced to the world today that Princess Zhong Ling is the Great Xiao National Teacher he was crowned eight years ago?"

"Could it be that my great-great-granddaughter has been a great Xiao national teacher for eight years, and the miracles she has created, the merits she has made, and the benefits she has sought for you are not as much as mine?"

"Huh? It turns out that Princess Zhong Ling is a little national teacher! Not far away, after listening to Xiao Han's words, a common person immediately subconsciously exclaimed in surprise.

He was because when he came to eat at Xike last night, he heard that there was a poetry competition held by Zhilan Courtyard and Linfeng Courtyard on the side of Yanyu Pavilion, which was very lively, and he came to see the excitement early in the morning, and he didn't know that Xiao Xuanliang told the world that Xiao Qiongzhi was the current national teacher.

"Yes. However, I obviously heard rumors in the noble circle that the Emperor Taishang dislikes the family of the Prince's Mansion very much, why does the Emperor Taishang seem to be particularly kind and protective to Princess Zhong Ling now? The other person was still new to the knew, and his expression was a little confused.

"You stupid! There is chaos in the circle of nobles, how many of the things they have rumored are true? Now, the Emperor Tai's kindness to Princess Zhong Ling is a fact that everyone here can see, do you want to doubt everyone's eyes? A common man next to the two said disapprovingly.

"Yes." The two people were relieved at the same time.

And similar conversations are happening at the same time between other students and ordinary people present.

Because, since Xiao Han abdicated, he has never specially summoned Xiao Zhenjia and Xiao Zhengzhen into the palace to speak, nor has he ever rewarded them with anything, and he has never been at the gate of the prince's mansion.

However, under Xiao Han's name, other grandsons, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandsons of Xiao Xuanliang's branch, Xiao Han has often been summoned into the palace to speak in the past eight years, and a large number of gifts have been given.

Of course, the layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway.

The purpose of his doing this is not actually how much he likes these grandsons, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandsons, but to entrap them and use them to block Xiao Xuanliang, Xiao Zhenjia, and Xiao Zhengzhen.

He understands it in his own heart, Xiao Xuanliang understands it in his heart, and Xiao Zhenjia, Xiao Zhengzhen, and Xiao Qiongzhi also understand it in his heart.

Therefore, after faintly hearing the discussions of the students and people around him, he felt very uncomfortable and regretted not doing it at the beginning.

He stood up, folded his hands behind his back, glanced at the students and civilians with a calm gaze, and shouted, "Everyone, be silent! ”

The students and the people were so frightened that they immediately fell silent.

Xiao Han was more satisfied.

He said with a very solemn expression: "I heard what you just whispered! I can tell you three things very clearly here. ”

"First, Princess Zhong Ling was recommended by me to her grandfather eight years ago to become our Great Xiao National Teacher!"

"Because when she was training in Chu State, I once went to visit her and witnessed how she led the people of Quanpi Township from hunger to food and clothing in just two months; I believe very much in her organizational, managerial and innovative ability in this area. ”

"Second, Princess Zhong Ling's title of 'Zhong Ling' was sealed by me, and it was sealed as early as three years ago, but it has not been announced to the world."

"Third, I know all these years, because I never ask about the Prince's Mansion and never go, which leads many people to think that I don't attach importance to the Prince's Mansion."

"In fact, it's not that I don't attach importance to the Prince's Mansion, but I plan to retire in the Prince's Mansion, so I deliberately did this, so that the townsman and Zhengzhen could understand what I meant and persuade the emperor to agree that they would take me to the Prince's Mansion and live with them."

"I see. Emperor Taishang, then, are you here to deliver medicinal soup to Princess Zhong Ling now, is it because you have been accepted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the True Prince to live in the Prince's Mansion? In the crowd, an old man in his fifties asked curiously.

Xiao Han said without thinking: "Of course." You don't know that the injuries on my branches' feet were actually caused to protect me. ”

"The doctor prescribed her medicine for a month. If she forgets to take her medicine when she comes to the poetry contest tomorrow, I will bring her the medicine soup as I did today. ”

"In addition, her monthly leave is only two days, and when she goes to school in Zhilan Courtyard after her monthly vacation, I will also let people boil the medicinal soup she will take in the morning and evening every day, and personally send it to Zhilan Courtyard for her to drink."

"God, the Emperor, you are the most loving wife and grandfather I have ever seen! I envy Zhi'er so much, if only I could have a loving wife and grandfather like you, how nice it would be! Prince Kun listened carefully on the side, and suddenly said loudly to Xiao Han with a look of admiration.

"Haha. You kid, you have a very sweet mouth! What is your name? Xiao Han was very happy to be coaxed by Prince Kun, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"My name is Liang Kun, my father's name is Liang Chengxian, and my grandfather's name is Liang Jingyin." Prince Kun said respectfully.

"Oh, it turns out that you are the grandson of Liang Jingyin, the king of Liang Guotai! No wonder when I saw you, I thought you looked familiar. Xiao Han understood.

He blinked his eyes, looked at Liang Kun, then at Xiao Qiongzhi, and whispered to Xiao Qiongzhi: "Zhi'er, is this kid familiar with you?" ”

"He was a friend I met when I lived in the Chu State. In addition to him, Prince Zhao of Chu Guozhao and Prince Qiu of Dongliang who stood beside him, as well as Zhou Dayong, Zhou Duoqin, Zhou Duoli, Zhou Shishan, and Zhou Meiqiong behind him also met me in Chu at that time. Xiao Qiongzhi replied truthfully.

The main reason is that just now, in order to show how much he doted on her and attached importance to the prince's mansion, Xiao Han made up too many lies, and even made up that he had gone to Chu to see her.

If he doesn't explain his relationship with Xiao Han and these people by the way, when he says something, he will make a big joke in front of Prince Zhao, Prince Kun, Prince Qiu, Zhou Dayong, Zhou Duoqin and others.

After all, if Xiao Han really loves Xiao Qiongzhi very much, how could Xiao Qiongzhi not tell Xiao Han about his interactions with friends?

"And do you like this kid?" Xiao Han became even more interested and asked again.

"No, grandpa wife, he's not my ideal mate, I just think of him as my friend." Xiao Qiongzhi said very seriously.

"What about Prince Zhao and Prince Qiu? Do you like these two? Xiao Han didn't give up and continued to ask.
