Chapter 193: Meeting and Offering Treasures
Emperor Cheng heard Xiao Yuzi say that King Yu made a special trip to send a talking baby to the fifth father-in-law, and when he was interested, he raised his sword eyebrows and asked, "What?" Talking baby? I want to see what kind of treasure can actually speak, Xuanyu Wang's imperial study replied! ”
The fifth father-in-law wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and promised to bow down and retreat. ET
The fifth prince of King Yu was standing in the pavilion in the imperial garden waiting for the fifth prince, and the fifth prince walked over and bowed and saluted: "The Sprinkle family has seen the prince, and the prince is safe." ”
King Yu turned around and saw that it was the fifth father-in-law, with a smile on his face, and hurriedly clasped his hands: "Don't dare, don't dare, father-in-law is exempt." ”
The fifth father-in-law looked at King Yu and shook his head vigorously and smacked his tongue: "Tsk, is the prince sincere in wanting to kill the old slave?" ”
King Yu asked puzzledly: "What does my father-in-law mean by this?" Xiao Wang is only free today, Baba sent this parrot to his father-in-law, how could he kill his father-in-law? ”
The fifth father-in-law shook his head, wiped the cold sweat from his sideburns, pointed to the golden silk birdcage and said, "Can you really speak this baby?" ”
King Yu nodded a little unhappily: "Xiao Wang doesn't dare to tease his father-in-law even if he has the courage to do so." ”
"It doesn't matter if the prince teases our family, the key is that now the emperor wants to see this baby, no, my family specially invited the prince to see the driver's study, I hope that the prince's parrot can really spit lotus flowers, and the emperor will smile. Lord, please. The fifth prince bowed down and made a gesture of please.
"How could the emperor know that the little king had entered the palace?" King Yu looked at the fifth duke in shock.
The fifth father-in-law rolled his eyelids and glared at King Yu: "Our family is waiting for the holy driver in the imperial study at this time every day, and the prince came at the right time." ”
King Yu showed a somewhat flustered and timid look: "Father-in-law, the emperor is suspicious, will he suspect that Xiao Wang is plotting to hand over the servants in private?" ”
The fifth father-in-law snorted coldly: "Long Yan is happy or angry, but it all depends on how the prince is doing!" ”
The two talked as they walked, and unconsciously came to the door of the imperial study, and the fifth father-in-law knelt at the door and replied loudly: "Long live Hui, King Yu is waiting outside the imperial study." ”
"Xuan." Emperor Cheng was relieved of the folds in his hands, and suddenly regretted that King Xuanyu was here, but at this time, people were already outside the door, so he had to bite the bullet and King Xuanyu to see him.
King Yu lowered his head and entered, knelt in front of the dragon book case and bowed to the mountain three times and knocked on the mountain to call long live, Emperor Cheng ordered him to get up, sit, waved his hand to signal the five dukes and others to retreat, there were only two people in the huge imperial study, Emperor Cheng and King Yu, both of them were silent, or Emperor Cheng coughed to break the embarrassment in the imperial study: "Ahem, you ....... How are you doing lately? Is Yuwangfu still used to it? ”
King Yu stood up and bowed and replied: "The courtier brother is very good, in the palace is like being by the emperor's side, feeling the emperor's breath all the time, and the courtier brother is very used to it." ”
King Yu had something to say, Emperor Cheng pretended not to know, looked at him and asked, "You and May are very close." ”
"It's not very close, it's the younger brother who occasionally shelters from the rain in the Fifth Duke's Mansion, because he likes birds, someone sent a talking parrot the day before yesterday, so he specially sent it."
"You have a heart, I don't know where the parrot is?" Emperor Cheng looked behind King Yu.
King Yu smiled, bowed down and replied: "The courtier brother shouldn't have refuted the emperor's Yaxing, but he was just a plaything, and the courtier brother can't afford to be accused of arsonance and playfulness." ”
Emperor Cheng's face was gloomy, and he was about to get angry, when he suddenly heard a strange voice say, "It stinks to death!" Stinks to death! ”
Emperor Cheng walked down the dragon book case, followed the voice to King Yu's face, saw King Yu squeezing his eyebrows in his arms and muttering something, Emperor Cheng found that King Yu's chest was bulging, it seemed to be carrying something, Emperor Cheng looked at King Yu looked a little cute, I couldn't help but think of his childhood, King Yu knew that he liked to eat sugar and oil osmanthus cake, so he secretly carried it in his arms, the whole chest was hot red, forced to keep silent, Emperor Cheng's eyes were much softer, forced to endure the smile on his lips, and said distressedly: "Although it is not sugar and oil osmanthus cake." , and aren't afraid that its claws will scratch your white and tender chest again?! ”
King Yu's black eyes were shining, staring at Emperor Cheng, and there was a little more sadness in his tone: "Does the emperor still remember the matter of sugar and oil osmanthus cake?" ”
"I will never forget it in my life, I will never forget your hot red chest, and I will not forget the embroidered shoes of my mother hanging in the air." Emperor Cheng's eyes were gloomy, and when he turned around, tears fell on the dust in an instant, leaving no trace.
King Yu took out a parrot from his arms, with green feathers and a red beak, and two small round eyes, which were very pleasing.
"Stinks to death, stinks to death." The parrot stood on King Yu's arm and fluttered its wings, Emperor Cheng turned around and saw the parrot's disgusted look, he couldn't help but laugh, he was thinking about how to make Xue Yi happy, this parrot seemed to be a gift from God, he hurriedly said to King Yu: "What else can this parrot say?" Would you like to give it to me? ”
King Yu didn't really want to give the parrot to the fifth prince when he entered the palace this time, the reason why he entered the palace at this time was to give the parrot to Xue Yi for entertainment, since Xue Yi entered the palace, he never saw her again, he knew that the palace gate was as deep as the sea, and there was never a shortage of beautiful women in the harem, even if it was a beautiful woman, if he didn't know how to please the emperor, he would fall out of favor, he was very worried about Xue Yi, but he couldn't show a trace, let alone ask anything about Xue Yi.
King Yu spent a lot of money to buy this parrot, and he believed that as long as the emperor knew the news, he would definitely reward this parrot to Xue Yi.
Everything was as King Yu expected, but he hesitated a little, hesitating whether to disturb Xue Yi's peaceful life as an imperial concubine, or let her live happily in lies than to wake her up.
Emperor Cheng saw that King Yu looked in a trance, and hurriedly said: "I know that you also care about Concubine Xue, recently Concubine Xue's body is uncomfortable, she can only lie on the bed, and I can't always be by her side, I just want this thing to make her happy, can't you agree to this request?" ”
King Yu hurriedly smiled and explained: "The emperor misunderstood his brother, it's not that the brother is unwilling, this parrot was originally intended to be given away, since the emperor likes it, the emperor will take it, but this parrot can not only speak human words, but also sing some small tricks, but these tricks can only be understood by the whistle of the younger brother, so the younger brother is a little hesitant, whether to teach this whistle to the people around Niangniang." ”
When Emperor Cheng heard this, he became more and more interested, stared at the parrot and said, "Really? Would you like to show me first? ”
"The emperor has seen it!" As he spoke, his little finger moved, and after a short whistle, the parrot folded its wings, curled up its two paws into its fat belly, and turned its head down in mid-air two heels!
Emperor Cheng was stunned and speechless for a long time, when King Yu saw this, his little thumb moved a few times, the whistle blew repeatedly, and the parrot flipped a few times in mid-air, fell on King Yu's hand, tilted his head, and said in a strange voice: "You stupid, are you going to exhaust me to death?" ”
Emperor Cheng couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, hahaha, it's fun, it's fun, brother, hurry up and follow me to Chenhui Courtyard." ”
King Yu was waiting for Emperor Cheng's words, and walked straight to Chenhui Courtyard with Emperor Cheng.
"Concubine Xue, what treasure did I bring you?" Emperor Cheng just walked to the door and shouted loudly.
Xue Yi was reading a book, listening to Emperor Cheng's voice seemed to be very happy, the jade face couldn't help but show a smile, watching Emperor Cheng stride in, owed a body and said: "The concubine welcomes the emperor, the emperor rewards every day, either pearl agate hairpin ring jewelry or brocade, they are all fresh things, but it is a pity to put them in the Chenhui courtyard of the concubines, it is better to wear them to the sisters." ”
Xue Yi only asked for a husband and wife, and the harem was harmonious, and she didn't care about the gold, silver and jewelry, but thought that Emperor Cheng had something good to reward her, so she politely refused.
"Hey, this treasure I brought you this time is a living thing, and Cher will definitely like it." Emperor Cheng pretended to blink mysteriously.
Xue Yi looked at Emperor Cheng curiously, half coquettish and half stupid smile: "I don't know what treasures the emperor has obtained, so don't hang the appetite of the concubine." ”
"King Yu, come in." Emperor Cheng shouted at the door.
King Yu bowed his head and walked in from outside the door, lying on the ground and kowtowing: "King Yu has seen Concubine Xue, please say hello to Concubine Xue." ”
Xue Yi saw that it was the fifth prince kneeling in front of her, and she was shocked, but the jade face remained silent, and returned the courtesy: "Prince Yu quickly exempted himself from the courtesy, and forgive the concubine for not being able to return the courtesy." ”
"Concubine Xue's words are serious." King Yu stood up, and Liu Nong had already brought a small stool to King Yu.
"Brother Chen, you better show your treasure to Xue'er quickly." Emperor Cheng's face was full of excitement, and he didn't notice Xue Yi's meaningful eyes at all, let alone notice that a smile was exchanged between King Yu and Xue Yi.
"Yes, I obey."
King Yu took out the parrot, put the parrot on his arm, first teased and talked to the parrot for a while, King Yu saw Xue Yi eyebrows suddenly, the jade face smiled, and he was also very happy, and said to the end: "Brother Chen, this parrot can not only talk to people, but also chant poetry." ”
"Oh? Is it? What will it do? Xue Yi asked happily.
"It's stupid, and the courtiers only taught it a mulberry pick......."
"You're stupid!" The parrot didn't wait for King Yu to finish speaking, and turned his face away angrily.
Xue Yi saw that the parrot and King Yu's one-on-one answer was very pleasing, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, Emperor Cheng also laughed, King Yu's face was a little embarrassed, and he glared at the parrot and said: "You don't recite poems well, annoying the princess, be careful that the princess plucks your hair and boils you into parrot soup." ”
"The princess is a great beauty and kind-hearted, it's you bad guy who wants to drink parrot soup." The parrot's small eyes glared at King Yu.
King Yu looked at Xue Yi and saw her staring at herself with a pair of black eyes that seemed to be smiling, her face turned red, and she slammed into the parrot deeply: "Brother Parrot, even if Xiao Wang is afraid of you, give Xiao Wang some face, recite poems to the princess, and the princess will be happy and will reward you with a golden dress." ”
