Chapter 153: Cooperation
Xiao Rui went out of the palace and first asked Wu Zhanfa to send him to the Chu Palace, and then he personally went to send a letter to Yan Xiaoxiao.
When I came to the Chu Palace, I naturally borrowed money, but I didn't expect that Xiao Yiheng, the king of Chu, was not in the palace, and it was the princess Li Xiuer who entertained Xiao Rui.
In the main hall, Xiao Rui and Li Xiu'er sat opposite each other, Li Xiu'er warmly greeted Xiao Rui with tea, but Xiao Rui felt uncomfortable, so he said: "Since the second brother is not at home, I will go back first, and I will visit next time, sister-in-law don't have to bother." ”
"Don't bother, don't bother, you're a distinguished guest, if I don't greet me well, your second brother will have to reprimand me again." Li Xiu'er was down-to-earth and generous, with a smile on her face.
It's just that Xiao Rui's eyes are sharp, and he found that there was a bruise on Li Xiuer's left forehead, although it was covered by her hair, it was also faintly visible.
"Sister-in-law, why is your forehead injured?" Xiao Rui asked deliberately.
Li Xiu'er smiled stiffly, subconsciously raised her hand to arrange her hair, covered the bruises, and then said: "Let Your Highness see the smile, I accidentally touched the bed last night, but I didn't expect it to be like this when I woke up in the morning." ”
Although she said so, Li Xiu'er's smile was too embarrassing, and it was a lie at first glance.
Xiao Rui smiled: "It seems that my sister-in-law and my second brother played games yesterday and had a lot of fun, and they had neglected the bed and hit their heads." ”
Li Xiu'er instantly blushed, glanced at Xiao Rui, and said nothing. But in my heart I have a deep resentment. He treats his husband wholeheartedly, but he can't get his love, and outsiders seem to be the princess who everyone envies, but in fact she is a resentful woman.
Last night's beautiful scenery was so good, and he was so beautiful to wash and dress up, but he was pushed away by Xiao Yiheng, how could it be like this if he was someone else? Are you that bad?
"Your Highness, after you and Zhuge Liuying got married, they must respect each other like guests and love each other, right?" Li Xiu'er couldn't help but ask.
Xiao Rui saw Li Xiuer's expression in his eyes, and was secretly happy in his heart, the money didn't come out today, it seemed that he had caught Xiao Yiheng's pigtails. Isn't this guy like a man in front of him, but he is not a man behind his back? Look at the one who left my sister-in-law out in the cold.
"Zhuge Liuying and I are in love, and I will definitely be as loving as my sister-in-law and second brother, I only envy the mandarin ducks and not the immortals." Xiao Rui said with a smile.
"I only envy mandarin ducks and don't envy immortals..."Li Xiu'er muttered to herself, her expression was ethereal, and she sighed after a while: "Sounds so good!" ”
Xiao Rui said lightly: "If a woman can't meet a man who loves her like life, what's the fun of living?" Sister-in-law, what do you say? ”
Li Xiu'er's eyes showed longing, and she said sincerely: "King Xian is worthy of being a talented person, and he has spoken to the essence of every sentence. Zhuge Liuying is really happy. ”
Xiao Rui felt that he shouldn't stay here because he had already started to make up a lot of things in his brain.
Discordant husband and wife relationship...
Sister-in-law... Brother-in-law...
"Sister-in-law, I still have important matters, I am worried that my palace will catch fire, so I will leave!" Xiao Rui immediately got up, rejected Li Xiu'er's enthusiastic stay, and left the Chu Palace.
Wu Zhanfa hadn't come back yet, so it was Li Xiu'er who sent a carriage to take him back to the palace. As soon as he entered the palace, Gao Quan came to greet him: "Your Highness, a monk has come to the palace and threatens to see you, and Mr. Jia is entertaining him." ”
Xiao Rui was stunned, monk? Could it be that he came to the west to learn from himself?
I knew that my mission was not just to become a prince in the capital!
"Let's go, let's see." Xiao Rui took Gao Quan to the front hall and met the monk.
Look at it, good guys!
This monk is so big, Xiao Rui has always felt that the Wu combat method of more than two meters is burly enough, but the monk in front of him is even more strong. A simple monk's robe was propped up, his head was shaved and scarred, with a rosary around his neck, and a Zen staff in his left hand, which felt like the reincarnation of Lu Zhishen.
Jia Xu said to the monk: "Your Highness is back!" ”
The monk hurriedly turned his head, looked at Xiao Rui, hurriedly bowed, and said, "Amitabha, the poor monk doesn't know, he was ordered by Master Yuanzhen to come to meet His Royal Highness King Xian!" ”
As soon as Xiao Rui heard that Xiao Heding had sent him, he immediately asked, "Where is Master Yuanzhen now?" Are you still in good health? ”
I don't know that the monk sighed and said, "Master Yuanzhen has passed away. ”
"What?" Xiao Rui couldn't believe it.
I don't know the monk said: "The monks don't speak, Master Yuanzhen is seriously ill, and he is already suffering, this time the poor monk accompanied him to the territory of Great Xia, and when he arrived at Pengcheng Mansion, he revisited his hometown with mixed feelings, and sat in front of his former residence. When he was dying, Master Yuanzhen ordered the poor monk to come to His Highness and hand over the relics to His Highness. ”
Xiao Rui sighed, revisiting the old place, and sitting in the former residence may be a relief for Xiao Heding.
I don't know that the monk has unwrapped his back and taken out two letters and a wooden box that was sealed with lead.
Xiao Rui took the letter, and one letter read: "Xiao Rui personally opened." ”
One letter read: "Xiao Ying personally opened. ”
Xiao Ying is the name of the current Xia Emperor, and those who dare to call him by his name in the land of Great Xia are Xiao Heding. It seems that Xiao Heding knew that the end was approaching, and before he died, he wrote a letter as Xiao Heding, not Master Yuanzhen.
Xiao Rui opened the letter to him, only to see that the letter was painted with iron and silver hooks:
"I'm Brother Lingzun, it's not too much to call you a nephew, haha... When you read the letter, Xiao must have been no longer alive, looking back on his past life, others sighed, and he sighed that he didn't talk more about you, a young man, for fear that he would go astray. I hope you will present the letter and the brocade box to Emperor Xia. The order warns you of two things: first, if you want to compete for the crown prince, you must not trace your mother's background. Second, if you don't compete for the position of the crown prince, leave the capital as soon as possible and be at ease. Do what you can, so that you can do it yourself. End. ”
Xiao Rui pursed his lips, looking for himself was to let himself send the letter, as for the two things to admonish, the second one is to be ignored for the time being, and the first one needs to be considered. Why can't you trace the life history of your mother? Instead, the system allows him to track it down, and the advent value is rich.
The system really has a conspiracy, what a big thief!
However, this makes Xiao Rui's heart itch even more, what secret is hidden in his mother's vein?
With a sigh, Xiao Rui handed the letter to Jia Xu, and Jia Xu burned the letter after reading it.
"Master Yuanzhen's request, this king will definitely do it." Xiao Rui said.
I don't know the monk smiled and said: "Amitabha, that poor monk farewell!" ”
Xiao Rui asked, "Where is the master?" ”
I don't know the monk said: "Lotus Temple." ”
After speaking, the monk turned around and left.
Xiao Rui asked Wei Guang: "Do you know him?" How is this person's martial arts? ”
Wei Guangdao: "I have met a few times, he used to be the personal guard of the Night King, and after the Night King lost his hair, he also lost his hair. This person's martial arts are unpredictable, I guess it should be the realm of ten thousand enemies, and it is rare to see him make a move. ”
"What? 10,000 enemies? Xiao Rui said regretfully: "It's a pity, if you can keep such a person for your own use, don't be too happy." ”
Peony snorted: "Your Highness, don't daydream, people like him have no desires anymore, and they will definitely not stay here." ”
Xiao Rui shrugged, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart. Then, his gaze moved to the brocade box, and his heart was tickling.
"Shall we open it and have a look?" Xiao Rui asked.
Wei Guang slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, I'm still stewing rice, farewell." ”
Jia Xu said: "Oh, by the way, I haven't finished reading the book yet, I'll go down first." ”
Gao Quandao: "Is the villain going to see if dinner is ready?" ”
In the end, only Peony was left with an excited face: "Okay, good!" ”
Xiao Rui glared at her, what kind of excitement did the woman's family have.
……
At night, when Yan Xiaoxiao returned to her residence, she was held by the excited Ye Mei.
Ye Mei is a friend she met in the palace, she is cheerful and free, and if she can be so excited, she must have met a good thing.
"Xiaoxiao, I was transferred to Changchun Palace, the queen personally summoned me today, shouted at me, made me surprised and happy, the queen also said that I will be on duty in Changchun Palace in the future, I attach great importance to me, I want to soar." Ye Mei rejoiced.
Yan Xiaoxiao was also happy for Ye Mei.
"Tiny, what about you? I just want to go to the library pavilion, there is no one there on weekdays, how deserted, you don't stay in the good Baihua Palace, with your beauty, if you are seen by Your Majesty, you may be pampered. Ye Mei was upset for him.
Yan Xiaoxiao shook her head with a smile and said, "I like the Library Pavilion, I like it very much!" ”
Ye Mei said angrily: "Forget it, I really convinced you." ”
Yan Xiaoxiao held the white jade lotus seed, and she didn't know what she thought, and a smile bloomed on her face.
"Time is so slow, when will it be tomorrow?" Yan Xiaoxiao thought so.
The night passed quietly, and I don't know how many people were sleepless, and how many people fell asleep laughing.
The next day, the morning dynasty.
Xiao Rui continued to supervise the imperial history in front of his palace, and admired the debates in the palace of hundreds of civil and military officials. Towards the end, Xiao Mingying, the king of Zhou, told Emperor Xia that King Linnan had passed away, and King Linnan was the uncle of Emperor Xia and Xiao Mingying, the only direct elder in the existing Great Xia royal family. In order to show respect, Emperor Xia sent Xiao Yiheng, the king of Chu, who happened to be on duty in the Zongren Mansion, to handle it. This time, Xiao Yiheng was a little unhappy, but Emperor Xia ordered that he had to do it.
Why not?
Last night, there was a message in the palace, the woman he fell in love with at first sight had been left in Changchun Palace by the queen, he was looking forward to seeing the girl, and now he took the task temporarily, and he had to go to Linnan Wangfu to take care of it in the morning, and he was busy, and there was no time to enter the palace.
But after thinking about it, since the girl has entered the Changchun Palace, with the means of his mother, he will design to drive him out of the palace in the next two days, and then he will be sent to the Chu Palace.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yiheng's heart itched a lot, which seemed to be more interesting!
After the early dynasty, Xiao Rui went to Emperor Xia to say goodbye, and then sent Xiao Heding's letter and brocade box.
Hearing that Xiao Heding passed away, Emperor Xia was also stunned, sighed, and said: "After a lifetime of ups and downs, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief." ”
But I breathed a sigh of relief, and I couldn't lift it after I was relieved.
Xiao Rui saw that Emperor Xia was in a low mood, so he asked to retreat and leave, and then came to the library pavilion.
In the library pavilion, Yan Xiaoxiao was lying at the door, and finally waited for Xiao Rui's figure, and his nervous mood suddenly quieted down.
Xiao Rui pushed the door and entered, and saw Yan Xiaoxiao hiding outside the door, almost scaring himself.
"Are you playing peek-a-boo with me?" Xiao Rui quipped.
Yan Xiaoxiao kneaded and said, "I happened to be outside the door, and His Highness came in." ”
Xiao Rui said with a smile: "When I left the palace yesterday, I sent someone to send the letter to your grandfather and grandmother, who missed you very much and also wrote back to you." ”
After speaking, Xiao Rui took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Yan Xiaoxiao.
Yan Xiaoxiao took the letter from home that still had body temperature, and thanked: "Thank you, Your Highness." ”
Xiao Rui nodded, opened the door and left, and said, "This king is out of the palace, you can ask someone to find me if you have something in the future." ”
Yan Xiaoxiao was a little lost, hummed, and watched Xiao Rui leave, before closing the door of the library pavilion, leaning against the door, and holding the family letter in his arms.
"Crunch..."
Suddenly, the wooden door was pushed, which frightened Yan Xiaoxiao, she thought it was King Xian who went and returned, and hurriedly opened the vermilion door in surprise, but it was someone else outside the door.
It was Hai Dafu who pushed the door, and it was Emperor Xia standing in front of the center of the door!
Yan Xiaoxiao seemed to be frightened and stunned there.
