The position of the crown prince is a major matter of the country, and the delay in the decision is likely to cause instability in the country's fortunes. The princes have to compete, the ministers of civil and military affairs have to stand in line, and the undercurrent is full of invisible swords and swords.

Xiao Rui doesn't want to be the emperor, what's the matter with him?

As for who will be the crown prince... Well, if you become a prince, you will definitely be able to inherit the throne? Come on, let Li Erlang tell you the story of Xuanwumen.

It was a dark night...

Forget it, I digress.

Xiao Rui smiled shyly: "As the saying goes, whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world, my father did this, and I want to be a candidate for the crown prince should also have such ethics." As for who the crown prince will be, it naturally depends on the aspirations of the people, and the people's hearts are both sacred hearts. ”

After a pause, Xiao Rui smiled and said, "Master Hou, who do you think among my six elder brothers and two younger brothers is the most famous in the eyes of the people?" ”

"Naturally, it's big... Big..."Zhang Jinfu hurriedly stopped his mouth, and then glared at Xiao Rui.

Good boy, I was almost yin by you, if this is spread out, wouldn't it mean that I support the eldest prince?

"Whoever is famous depends on the people." Zhang Jinfu learned to be obedient and replied to Xiao Rui's words.

Xiao Rui's look of admiration made Zhang Jinfu want to ask again, but the words stopped when they came to his mouth.

"It's a little fox!" Zhang Jinfu couldn't help muttering.

Then he got up and said, "You sit down and rest first, and I'll go back as soon as I go." ”

Zhang Jinfu left for a moment, and a woman dressed in a strong suit walked in.

Dressed in a black samurai robe, with a ponytail, he is one meter six or seven tall, tall and jade. The appearance is beautiful, especially between the eyebrows and eyes, revealing a heroic spirit.

The woman walked in straight and sat opposite Xiao Rui. A pair of apricot eyes looked Xiao Rui up and down, and there was an expression on his face that no one should enter.

Xiao Rui wanted to get up to say hello, but seeing that she didn't know how to be polite, he didn't bother to greet her.

So Xiao Rui continued to drink tea and eat snacks, and sat opposite the air.

After a long time, Zhang Ruoxi couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "You are Xiao Rui, the Seventh Prince?" ”

Xiao Rui's gaze moved to her face and asked, "You are Zhang Ruoxi, the second lady of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion?" ”

"Do you know martial arts?" Zhang Ruoxi asked.

"Do you know how to embroider?" Xiao Rui also asked.

Syllable!

Zhang Ruoxi slapped the table and said angrily: "How can you learn from me to speak?" ”

Xiao Rui was so frightened that his heart burst out, Mom, I won't use the knife directly after a few sentences. It seems that it is not an easy task to gain the favor of this grumpy lady.

Those who don't like hard ones come to soft ones. Poor woman, I will understand later that it is better to be hard.

A smile appeared on Xiao Rui's face and he bowed deeply.

This action made Zhang Ruoxi a little confused.

Am I dead? What are you not worshipping if you don't die?

"What are you doing?" Zhang Ruoxi asked.

Xiao Rui said with a smile: "I have heard the name of the woman for a long time, and I will see you today, and I will express my gratitude on behalf of the people you have helped." ”

"Are you kidding me?" Zhang Ruoxi clenched his fists and asked coldly.

Xiao Rui shook his head and said: "The heroine should know my identity, my mother is the queen of the gate, jealous and hateful before entering the palace, caring for the people, helping them hoe the strong and help the weak." Pity... Seeing the heroine reminds me of my deceased mother..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Rui's eyes were slightly red, he really missed his mother, and he couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.

Zhang Ruoxi panicked slightly, she didn't expect Xiao Rui to say these words. His parents are still alive, but what about him? 's mother died early, and His Majesty's father-son relationship is not deep, and he can't live in the palace for a long time to stay in the house of the fourth prince when he is old, saying that he is the seventh prince, but he feels inferior to the son of a gentleman.

It's pitiful indeed.

Now that the scene is full of love, it is difficult to control the feelings.

It is said that the most filial piety cannot be bad.

Zhang Ruoxi's first impression of Xiao Rui immediately improved, so he apologized: "I'm sorry, I was a little reckless when I spoke just now." ”

Xiao Rui smiled awkwardly and said, "It's me who wants to say sorry, I said this to the girl the first time we met, and I was out of order." In fact, I came to visit today, firstly, because of my fourth brother's idea, and secondly, I also want to see the dignity of the heroine with my own eyes. If it displeases the girl, I will take my leave. ”

Looking at this, Xiao Rui felt very good, not only explaining why he came, but also saying his thoughts. Finally, lead to the purpose, if you are happy, let's continue to communicate, if you are not happy, I will get out of here.

Zhang Ruoxi's cheeks were slightly red, she was very disgusted with blind dates, but she was not annoyed that admirers came to see her, she was too shy, oops, the girlish heart of this heroine.

"You just came and left, if outsiders knew, wouldn't it mean that our Zhongyong Marquis Mansion didn't greet you well?" Zhang Ruoxi said softly.

Xiao Rui blinked, looked at Zhang Ruoxi with a flush on her cheeks, and felt that this woman was quite cute and had a true temperament.

No way! Don't be dazzled by beautiful women, remember the purpose of your trip!

That is to get Zhang Ruoxi's favor!

Wow, the system is really shameless, forcing me to take my sister.

"I'll call you Ruoxi." Xiao Rui smiled: "The weather is good today, why don't we go for a walk on the street together?" ”

Zhang Ruoxi intertwined her hands and said in a low voice: "Isn't it too fast." ”

Fast? Men hate women for saying such things the most.

Who told your dad to take someone to peek out of the window, there are several heads on a row of windows, you think I want to take you out?

"Then forget it." Xiao Rui just finished speaking.

Zhang Jinfu rushed in: "It's not fast, it's just that there is no rice at home, Ruoxi, you and the Seventh Prince go out to eat, you have to greet good guests." ”

"Oh!" Zhang Ruoxi nodded, and then looked at Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui said goodbye to Zhang Jinfu: "Master Hou, then we are out, you still tell your subordinates to buy rice quickly, it is really not easy to be a dignified three-grade Hou Mansion, why don't I send you some?" ”

The corners of Zhang Jinfu's mouth twitched, and he smiled as he watched the two leave.

Walking on the bustling street, the two of you chatted with me one by one. Zhang Ruoxi was a little shy, and it seemed that it was the first time to go shopping alone with a man. And Xiao Rui always stared at the information code in his mind, why the task had not been completed. Doesn't this little lady have a good impression of herself at all?

It shouldn't be, I'm so handsome, are you blind?

Don't push me to make a big move!

Forget it, you can't beat it.

The two came to Cuiyun Tower.

This is a famous restaurant in the capital, and it is a place where dignitaries and nobles consume. As soon as the two entered the door, they were met by four richly dressed teenagers.

"Yo! Isn't this Miss Zhang Er of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion? The first time I saw you come to Cuiyun Tower, oh... It's a blind date. A teenager exclaimed excitedly.

It seems that he was beaten by Zhang Ruoxi, and he was particularly red when he saw the enemy.

The three people behind him also responded: "Boy, you are really a model for men in the capital, and you have saved the fate of unmarried men in the capital." ”

"Dare enough! Don't be afraid of being sat dead in bed! Quack..."

"Boy, I haven't seen you, it's the first time I've come to the capital, haven't you? Brave and fat, I don't know how powerful it is to end the madness? ”

The four of you said a word, and began to squeeze Xiao Rui and Zhang Ruoxi.

Zhang Ruoxi's eyebrows furrowed, her fists clenched.

The four of them were so frightened that they took a step back and shouted, "Zhang Ruoxi, don't do it!" Zhongyong Marquis promised that as long as we don't bully the people, you can't beat people, we are now saying two words to you, you can scold back! ”

"Yes, we have the ability to make a move."

"Third brother, it's obscene to talk about it."

Zhang Ruoxi gritted her teeth in anger, and when she was thinking about whether to break her father's promise, Xiao Rui beside her pulled Zhang Ruoxi behind her and protected her with his tall figure.

Then he flew up and kicked one of them, turning his hands into knives and slashing them in the necks. In an instant, the three of them lay on the ground and wailed.

Only one person was left trembling and yelling, "Stinky boy, are you looking for death?" Holy shit, do you know who I am? ”

! Is this threatening me with my identity? Sounds so exciting, is this one of the nirvana of the gentleman!

"I'm so scared..."Xiao Rui said deliberately, and then flew up and kicked him.

looked back at Zhang Ruoxi, looked at her with slightly surprised eyes, and smiled warmly: "I can't beat you, it's still easy to teach him four lessons." ”

Ding dong!

A chime suddenly comes to mind.

Then the message code appears:

"Congratulations, complete the mission, advent +15."

Xiao Rui was immediately overjoyed, and his smile was even happier.

Looking at the young man with a bright smile in front of him, the sun spread on his face, dyed into golden light, Zhang Ruoxi suddenly felt like a deer, and hurriedly moved his gaze to other places, and said "um" softly.

Her heart pounded.
