Chapter 212: Under the Abyss
Before leaving the palace, Xiao Rui didn't find a chance to chat with Yan Xiaoxiao alone, so he couldn't know what she hadn't finished saying just now.
His Majesty let her browse Zhu Pi's recital in her spare time, which is by no means a trivial matter, and must have His Majesty's profound intentions. And just now Yan Xiaoxiao mentioned whether he has a relationship with the second prince Xiao Yiheng, which aroused Xiao Rui's vigilance even more.
Xiao Yiheng is still a thief, and he always thinks about Yan Xiaoxiao. Your Majesty, who is it, you know what kind of fart you put when you move your ass, will he not notice?
Even Xiao Rui guessed that His Majesty deliberately transferred Yan Xiaoxiao into the Heart Cultivation Palace, was it deliberate, he was high, so he could see it clearly?
Xiao Rui was deeply jealous of His Majesty and did not dare to take it lightly. Xiao Yiheng is also a cautious person, but when he is fascinated by beauty, will His Majesty not notice it?
Xiao Yiheng, Xiao Yiheng, you are not only getting into the charming eyes of the flowers now, but also the fire in your backyard.
Thinking of Li Xiu'er, Xiao Rui's heart was no longer so hot, and he didn't know how he and Zhang Yizhi were doing, so he went home and asked Jia Xu quickly.
Back at the palace, Xiao Rui went to Jia Xu and asked about Zhang Yizhi.
Jia Xu bought Li Xiu'er's personal maid, so he knew exactly how far things had progressed.
"Your Royal Highness, the relationship between Zhang Yizhi and Li Xiu'er is still half a layer of smoke and rain and half a mountain, after all, the time is short, Li Xiu'er is also attracted by Zhang Yizhi's talent, and she has a lot of good feelings, but because of her identity, she has always kept her distance. And Zhang Yizhi, constantly showing himself and showing the best side, he is a master of the love field, he has been fascinated by Li Xiuer's beauty, and he wants to rely on Li Xiuer to get on the throne, hey... This person is also greedy and not enough to swallow elephants. Jia Xu said with emotion.
"It's a little slow!" Xiao Rui said: "Li Xiuer and I have only had a few faces, she has given up being reserved and hinting at me, why are you keeping a distance from Zhang Yizhi now?" Sir, why do you say? ”
Jia Xu was silent for a long time and said, "Because of the excitement!" Your Royal Highness, think about it, you are the younger brother of the King of Chu, and you are an uncle and sister-in-law with him, or Prince Hehe, if something happens to the two of you..."
"It's so exciting!" Xiao Rui's heart, which was not hot, was suddenly opened.
It turns out that his seemingly extinguished fire burns as soon as it touches dry wood, which is a sin.
"If Your Highness feels slow, it is better to go out in person." Jia Xu suggested.
Xiao Rui swallowed his saliva and said, "This is not appropriate, in case you get entangled, you can't get rid of it." ”
With Li Xiu'er's character, if something happens to her, she will be trapped in the quilt, and she can't get rid of it if she wants to, Xiao Rui was most afraid of this kind of woman in his previous life, and he can't touch it in this life.
Jia Xu went and smiled: "Your Highness, it's not for you to sell your skin, but for you to go out and ignite the fire in Li Xiu'er's heart, that is, desire." When her desires become ravines and it is difficult to fill the usual, she naturally thinks of Zhang Yizhi. ”
Xiao Rui: .......
You belong to taking off each other's clothes, and then you don't have your own business?
I worked hard to worship and toast, and then the cave house had nothing to do?
"Sir, I think it's better to let them take one step at a time!" Xiao Rui still said euphemistically. I'm already sorry for myself if I don't go up, and I help others, and I don't have such a weird hobby.
Jia Xu smiled: "Okay! It's all up to His Highness. ”
Xiao Rui nodded, no longer thinking about Li Xiu'er, but asked the others: "Sir, how is Cui Changwen investigating in that Ministry of Rites?" Is there a way to make friends? ”
Jia Xu said: "I asked Yuan Fang to investigate, this Master Cui lives on Cuiyang Street in the north of the city, the rhythm of life is single, in addition to going to the Ministry of Rites Yamen to do things, in his spare time is at home or put on a shabby coat, go to the chess club in the south of the city to watch chess, he is very good at Go, but unfortunately the chess skills are not good, no one wants to play with him, he can only watch." ”
Xiao Rui was overjoyed and said, "It just so happens that my chess skills are good, why don't I hide my identity and have a chance encounter with him?" He is a five-rank official and needs to go to the court, but there are so many officials in the court, I don't have any impression of him, but I want him to know me. It's good to know me, and it can also make him observe me better, and if my performance satisfies him, it will be a matter of winning him over. ”
"Yes, yes." Jia Xu flicked his beard and smiled.
"Then send someone to keep an eye on him, and when he goes to the chess club, he will notify me." Xiao Rui said.
Jia Xu nodded, he had already arranged for someone to keep an eye on this Cui Changwen.
After lunch, Xiao Rui had nothing to do, and took Li Yuanfang out for a stroll, mainly to see the impact of the snow disaster on the people.
Nancheng District is inhabited by dignitaries and magnates, so the wide road has been cleared out of the passage, just suitable for the intersection of two carriages. The severely affected is still Xicheng District, which is a civilian area, and some people's houses are in disrepair, and they must not be a few who have been crushed by heavy snow, and I don't know how the disaster relief in Dongchang is going.
When passing by the mansion of Li Mingyang, the first assistant to the cabinet, he said that it was a coincidence that he happened to meet Li Ruoxue going out.
The last time they met in Ruyang Palace, Li Ruoxue already knew Xiao Rui's true identity, and her husband couldn't be a good man, and he couldn't take advantage of it.
Li Ruoxue just went out, followed by Li Xiu'er!
Xiao Rui raised his eyebrows, he really remembered something, he was talking about her at home just now, and this appeared.
At this time, the two girls also saw Xiao Rui.
Although Xiao Rui was dressed in casual clothes, he was handsome and extraordinary, which naturally attracted the attention of the two girls.
If he ran into Li Ruoxue alone, Xiao Rui could still go up and play tricks, but in the face of Li Xiuer, forget it. So Xiao Rui nodded and wanted to leave.
"Your Highness, wait!"
Who knows, Li Ruoxue shouted, and walked down the stone steps and hurried.
Xiao Rui had no choice but to stop.
"Miss Li, sister-in-law." Xiao Rui greeted Li Ruoxue, then moved his gaze to Li Xiu'er's pretty face, and bowed respectfully.
Li Xiu'er looked at Xiao Rui, her eyes were mixed, and she hummed softly.
These days, she often listens to Zhang Yizhi playing music, with music as a companion, the relationship between the two is quite familiar, but it is true that there is no further development, not even physical contact, at most the language communication has shifted from music to life trivialities.
After all, she is a princess, and Zhang Yizhi is just a musician. What she has seen and heard, and her identity are not enough to make Li Xiuer have much stimulation.
That's right, it's exciting!
The last time in the garden, Li Xiuer saw Zhang Yizhi for the first time in the bamboo forest, and was attracted by his appearance of playing the flute, feeling like a fairy.
However, after not seeing Xiao Rui during this time, she was a little surprised in her heart.
Zhang Yizhi's immortal aura is good, but... The identity and masculinity of her uncle always appear in her dreams. The thought of being able to take revenge on his husband through King Xian makes me tremble when I think about it!
So after Li Xiu'er hummed lightly, she fell into deep thought, not knowing what she was thinking.
Li Ruoxue didn't know this, and asked with a smile: "Your Highness, where are you going?" In a hurry? ”
Xiao Rui did not hide it, and said: "The funds for the charity auction have been in place, I don't know what the situation of the disaster relief in Dongchang is, I want to go to Xicheng District to have a look." ”
Li Ruoxue and Li Xiuer were in awe.
The sensational charity auction raised 1.32 million taels, a huge amount, spread all over the capital, and as the initiator, executor, and host, Xiao Rui's reputation instantly spread all over the capital and was talked about. Especially the poor people affected by the snow disaster, they even knelt down to thank and were willing to set up an immortal tablet for Xiao Rui.
Xiao Rui didn't know the people's gratitude to Dai Ze, but the people would use their most sincere feelings to pray for their benefactors.
Li Ruoxue and Li Xiuer regretted that they could not participate in the charity auction that day, so they could only admire Xiao Rui in their hearts, and now they heard that he was going to Xicheng District to see the disaster relief situation, so they admired it even more, knowing that he really cared about the people, rather than taking the opportunity to become famous.
Especially Li Xiu'er, he is Xiao Yiheng's princess, and he has seen too many of his husband's second faces, and now that he thinks about it, he suddenly feels disgusted. And Xiao Rui in front of him is simply heavenly compared to him.
Zhuge Liuying is really happy to be able to find such a wishful man.
Envy, jealousy...
"Your Highness cares about the poor, and the little woman admires it." Li Ruoxue approvingly: "But Your Highness still don't go." ”
"Why?" Xiao Rui was surprised.
Li Ruoxue said: "Now that the people are grateful for His Royal Highness Dai Ze's kindness, once your identity is revealed in the past, you will inevitably be surrounded by the people, and it will cause a greater sensation at that time, but it is not good." His Royal Highness has a noble status, and it is enough to send someone to go there. If you really don't worry, you can take a horse-drawn carriage to take a look, and if the disaster relief process is in full swing, Your Highness won't have to worry. ”
Xiao Rui nodded, if it really caused a sensation, was surrounded by the people, kowtowed and thanked, and was learned by those officials who ate the taste, they didn't know how to slander Xiao Rui, saying that he was a show, saying that he was selling fame and reputation, etc., it was possible.
"Yuan Fang, you go to the mansion to drive a carriage." Xiao Rui said to Li Yuanfang.
Li Yuanfang was just about to go back, when Li Xiuer suddenly said, "Why don't you ride in the same car with us?" It just so happens that we also want to see the disaster of the people! Ruoxue, what do you think? ”
"This..."Li Ruoxue hesitated, after all, there is a difference between men and women, but her cousin said so, and she is also the sister-in-law of King Xian, so she said: "What does Your Highness think?" ”
Xiao Rui just wanted to refuse, but Li Xiu'er said again: "Your Highness, doesn't your highness treat us like tigers?" Worried about being found out and having a bad reputation? We're not afraid of any of the girls, you're your highness. ”
Xiao Rui looked at Li Xiu'er, only to see her eyes burning and a smile on the corner of her mouth.
On purpose, she must have done it on purpose.
Accompanied by Li Ruoxue, Li Xiuer shouldn't dare to do anything to herself, and she has Li Yuanfang to protect her, so she really can't do it then, shouting: Yuanfang, help!
I believe that Yuan Fang will be very interested and not rush in.
"Good! That's a hassle for both. Xiao Rui nodded.
Immediately, Li Xiuer and Li Ruoxue got into the carriage and sat on the left side. Xiao Rui went up and sat on the right side. The carriage was very spacious, and the three of them sat opposite each other, and there was a distance of twenty or thirty centimeters in the middle, which was not crowded. There is no situation where Xiao Rui's fantasy must be close to each other, or even if he can't sit down, he has to sit on his lap.
This carriage is so big, it's such a waste! Bad review!
Li Yuanfang sat next to the groom and set off immediately.
