Su Qiqian has been in the house for the past few days, and he has felt very bored.

His father went out on a business trip and told him to stay at home honestly, take care of the accounts, and handle the daily affairs of the house.

What's so good about that? The old housekeeper of Su Mansion did nothing to leak, and he didn't need Su Qiqian to take care of it at all, and he didn't bother to take care of it.

He tugged at his steppe braids and sat by the pond, looking at his handsome reflection in the water for a while, and at the koi jumping up from the water.

Alas, I'm so handsome and dashing, why can't Zhu'er look down on me?

It must be that she is still young, and when she is two years older, she will feel the charm of a man in me.

Su Qiqian thought so and nodded with satisfaction.

I don't know what this girl is doing lately, as if I haven't seen her for a few days. The last time I saw her still wearing a tattered dress, it was really incomprehensible. But if Zhu'er is really in the middle of the family, I won't dislike her, even if she wants to live on the street as a beggar, I will marry her back home, how can I let my Zhu'er suffer and be wronged?

Su Qiqian was very intoxicated by himself.

Hopefully Pearls will know how good I am sooner.

Su Qiqian smirked.

"Childe, someone from the General's Mansion has come to deliver a message." A family member searched for a long time before he found his son-in-law by the pond and hurriedly ran to report it.

"General's Mansion?"

Didn't your wish come true, Zhu'er is looking for me?

Su Qiqian jumped up happily and went to meet the guests with his family.

Then he sat in the main hall and looked at the letter sent by Xiao Tao.

"I'm grounded, come and save me!"

It's Li Zhu'er's crooked handwriting.

was grounded, no wonder I haven't seen her on the street.

"Why is your young lady grounded?" Su Qiqian asked.

Xiao Tao shook her head and said she didn't know.

"Is General Li in the house at this time?" Su Qiqian thought about it and asked again.

"Not there." Xiao Tao said.

"Hmm."

Su Qiqian thought for a while, and said to Xiao Tao: "Go back and tell Zhu'er to stay at home today, and wait for my son to go to the General's Mansion early tomorrow morning to save the beauty." ”

Xiao Tao was amused by Su Qiqian's exaggerated appearance, nodded and left.

It was late at night, and Bai Xi was still sitting alone in the study of Kangning Palace, studying the documents taught by Taifu during the day.

Queen Xu failed to give birth to a prince, only two princesses, one eldest and one young, who were given the names Qingping and Yuquan. This is one of the reasons why the crown prince's position is always vacant.

Although Bai Xi was adopted by the queen to raise her, she was not her own child after all. When it comes to the establishment of the crown prince, if you talk about the eldest and youngest, there is a big prince, and if you talk about talent and learning, there are three princes who were praised by Hanlin scholars at the age of ten. If Bai Xi only has the identity of the queen's adopted son, it is far from enough.

A cool breeze blew the candle shadows in the study, and then the voice of a black shadow sounded beside Bai Xi.

"Your Highness, the medicine has been delivered, and there has been a delay on the way."

"Why the delay?" Bai Xi still looked at the scroll in his hand.

"I was discovered by Shen Fengjiu halfway." The black shadow said in a hoarse voice.

"It's him again." Bai Xi put down the book, "What is the identity of this person?" The third brother had an accident at night, and the next day he entered the palace as if he was accurate and rescued the third brother. It's like they've come to oppose me. ”

"Today, the Holy Lord was going to put Princess Tongguang in prison, but Shen Fengjiu stopped it."

"Just by saving the third brother, can you have such a big face in front of your father? No. Bai Xi tapped on the table, "Who is he?" You check it out as soon as possible. ”

"He's a man of the rivers and lakes." "It's going to take some time. ”

"Hmm." Bai Xi responded.

"Your Highness is in a good mood today?" The dark shadow asked.

"Huh." Bai Xi chuckled, reached out and touched his neck, "I took a sword from the third brother today." ”

"I heard that the Holy Lord only grounded the three princes."

"My father has doted on my third brother, and now that he has just recovered from his injury, he must be even more reluctant to reprimand my father."

"It's the incompetence of subordinates." The black shadow said slowly.

"If it's so easy to get rid of the third brother, it's not fun." Bai Xi smiled instead.

The black shadow was silent, and Bai Xi continued to say unhurriedly: "The eldest brother is twenty-seven years old this year, he is not married, and he has not been fiefdomed, and he was left in the palace by his father. Everyone said that the eldest brother was one of the candidates for the crown prince. Oh, how can he be the emperor of such a cowardly person? Besides, if his father was interested, he should have forced him to choose a concubine ten years ago. The reason why his father forced him to stay in the palace was just because he didn't want to let him become a monk and let others see the royal jokes. ”

Bai Xi stood up and blew out the candlestick on the table.

"My father has not set up a prince for so many years, he is waiting for the third brother. If my guess is correct, tomorrow my father will summon that man to the palace. It's just that my sister Zhaoling is suffering. ”

"Your Highness, I'm afraid that Princess Tongguang will be condemned by the Holy One."

"It's all because Queen Xu made her own opinion, and in a blink of an eye, she told her father about the third brother's escape from the palace. Did she think her father would condemn her third brother because of this? Stupidity. This matter also involves the Zhenguo General's Mansion, which is simply paving the way for the third brother. Let her know less in the future. Bai Xi said disgustedly.

"Yes." The dark shadow replied.

"As for Sister Zhaoling, don't worry, this palace will protect you." Bai Xi said with a smile.

Early in the morning of the second day, Li Zhuer did not wait for Su Qiqian's "rescue", but waited for a holy decree to announce that she would enter the palace with her father to meet the emperor.

Li Zhuer finally got her wish, and even her anger towards her father disappeared at the moment, and she happily ran to change her clothes. But Li Xuan was not relieved by his daughter's "forgiveness", and sent away the father-in-law who delivered the decree, his brows twisted.

On that day, Li Xuan received a message from the palace that the third prince and Princess Tongguang escaped from the palace privately, and Li Zhuer also participated. The next day, the third prince was poisoned, and he heard that he was almost killed, but fortunately he was rescued. Now the emperor should have known about the escape from the palace, but it didn't seem like he wanted to surrender the crime, and today he was summoned to bring his daughter into the palace, Li Xuan couldn't guess what the emperor meant.

The harem concubine is Li Zhuer's aunt, after Li Zhu'er's mother died, she said that she took pity on the child, and often asked Li Xuan to enter the palace to see Li Zhu'er when she sent Li Zhuer to her palace to play.

But today, the emperor directly issued a holy decree and summoned the two into the palace, which is definitely not usual.

Li Zhu'er couldn't wait to enter the palace to see Bai Heng and Lu Zhaoling, and after quickly changing her clothes, she came out to see her father sitting in the main hall with a sad face, and urged angrily: "Dad! Why don't you go to change your clothes yet! ”

Li Xuan glanced at Li Zhu'er, who was in a hurry but dressed up with her heart, and suddenly felt that her delicate and willful little daughter had become a bright and moving girl. He was relieved for a moment, and then suddenly shocked.

Li Zhu'er saw that her father's face changed strangely, and asked suspiciously, "Dad, what do you want?" ”

Li Xuan looked at his daughter, who was regarded as the pearl of his palm, thinking about the meaning of the emperor's summons, and gradually felt a little angry in his heart, and felt helpless.

"Pearl...... Alas. He could only sigh in the end.
