Chapter 152: The Huo Family and the Mask
Your Majesty summoned me? ”
Xiao Rui was surprised when he saw the eunuchs from the palace, and after listening to His Majesty's words.
"Didn't you see it in the morning? Say what's the matter? Xiao Rui wondered.
The eunuch said: "The villain doesn't know, and Gonggong Hai didn't reveal it. ”
Xiao Rui looked at the time, it was just past noon, forget it, he won't eat anymore, let's go directly to the palace.
hurriedly entered the palace and met Emperor Xia. He was about to eat, and when he saw Xiao Rui coming so eagerly, he smiled and said, "Have you eaten?" ”
Xiao Rui shook his head and said, "I didn't eat, Your Majesty is in a hurry, how dare my son delay, I didn't care about eating this meal when it was ready." ”
Xia Huang pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Sit down and eat together." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xiao Rui thanksgiving.
The two chatted while eating, and Emperor Xia said: "Summoning you into the palace, it was King Jing who accused you of arson and murder and injured the grandson of a merchant scholar, can you admit it?" ”
Xiao Rui was sandwiching a piece of meat, and if he was someone else, he had already put down his chopsticks and explained in fear, but he put the meat into his mouth, which was really a gossip, and he was sarcastic while chewing: "Father, I'm not ridiculing the eighth brother, he prides himself on learning from Confucianism, and he has a lot of success, but I think I read something." Why did my house slave beat someone, did he say it? How old is my house slave, how old is the person who was beaten, did he say it? ”
Emperor Xia shook his head and said, "I didn't say that. ”
Xiao Rui said: "Shang Jin's grandson insulted his sons, so my house slave taught them a lesson for me, he was only nine years old, and he beat the merchant's son at the age of fourteen, and it was four!" If it were me, I would have no face to complain to His Majesty. ”
Emperor Xia was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "That's it, then forget it." Nine-year-old hit fourteen-year-old? That house slave is the son of a bandit you brought back from Qiuyang County? ”
"It's him." Xiao Rui replied.
Emperor Xia nodded and said, "It seems that this son has an amazing talent in martial arts, what is his name?" ”
"Broken, the son didn't give him a surname." Xiao Rui said.
Emperor Xia was stunned for a moment, and read: "Broken, broken... Rui'er, you have a heart. ”
Xiao Rui smiled: "This is the ambition that a prince should have. ”
Emperor Xia immediately picked up a piece of meat and put it in Xiao Rui's bowl. Xiao Rui thanked him and felt Emperor Xia's care.
However, Hai Dafu, who served Emperor Xia, had his pupils shrunk sharply, and his pupils almost became a needle's eye. But his face was impassive, and he didn't dare to show anything abnormal.
"How was the chat going to the queen in the morning?" Emperor Xia asked gossips.
Xiao Rui said: "We had a good chat, and in the future, our sons and daughters will be closer to the King of Chu, as the queen said, you can ask your brother for help in everything, and the family doesn't talk to each other." ”
Emperor Xia laughed and said, "Then what are you going to ask the King of Chu for help?" ”
"Borrow money! Erchen is now a big family, and the money is not enough, so he naturally has to ask the king of Chu for help, he is the elder brother, and the money lent should not be out of nine. Xiao Rui said.
Emperor Xia pointed at Xiao Rui, laughed at his scoundrels, and said, "No, I can't say if I want to go back." After all, he is the elder brother, and it is not an exaggeration to give his younger brother pocket money. ”
"My father has given an order, if he dares to ask for it, it will be a bully!" Xiao Rui's eyes lit up, and he suddenly caught Emperor Xia's words.
Emperor Xia smiled and said, "I didn't say it, who heard it?" Have you heard of it? ”
Hai Dafu hurriedly said respectfully: "The villain didn't hear it, he just wandered into a fugue, and asked His Majesty to punish him." ”
Xiao Rui was speechless for an instant, it was too difficult to take advantage of Emperor Xia. But...
"Father, how did the sons and daughters handle the alliance with the envoys of Dayan?" Xiao Rui asked.
Emperor Xia recognized: "It was done very well, without losing the prestige of the country, and got sufficient benefits." Hearing that the letter of alliance has returned to Dayan, Emperor Yan highly appreciates the alliance between the two countries, and now the two countries have successfully formed an alliance, which not only relieves the threat of the attack on the belly and back of the Great Yan Kingdom, but also deters Great Zhao, and it is also beneficial to our Great Xia. ”
Xiao Rui said with a smile: "Since Erchen has done so well, how can there be some rewards?" ”
Emperor Xia glared and shouted, "Didn't I agree with you to leave the capital and supervise the state capital?" If you can't do it, you still want to go out? ”
Xiao Rui was stunned, but continued to ask: "Father, the reward is actually not for the son, but for the father." Father, think about it, the sons and daughters have done a good job, and you don't reward them, so what do the ministers of civil and military affairs think? Who dares to spare no effort to be loyal and responsible? If you don't reward it, won't the civil and military officials want to slander your father and the emperor for being stingy? I believe that even King Jin and King Duan, who are deputy envoys, also complained, Gonggong Hai, you can speak fairly! ”
Hai Dafu said: "Your Highness, the villain is fugue again, what are you talking about?" ”
Xiao Rui said that he didn't want to pay attention to this old guy.
Xia Huang snorted: "Is it that they will slander, but you slander?" But there is some truth in what you said, if you don't reward you, you lose people's hearts, so what do you want? The position of the crown prince is not good. ”
"Ahem..."Xiao Rui was frightened, this stalk was so cold, Xiao Rui didn't dare to answer, but don't say it, he didn't have this idea before, and when he was reminded by Emperor Xia, his heart was instantly hot.
Xiao Rui said: "I want whatever my father rewards, I have a good appetite, and I will accept anything." ”
"Very good, then wait, Rong Zhen think about it." Xia Huang Road.
Xiao Rui was satisfied, hum, if you don't get some benefits to go back today, this is not in vain.
It took half an hour for a lunch to end.
Xiao Rui saw that Emperor Xia was a little tired, after all, he got up early every day to go to the court, and after the court simply rested, he had to review and review the folds, every day, no matter how tough his body was, he couldn't bear it. So Xiao Rui asked to retire and let Emperor Xia take a lunch break.
Emperor Xia didn't leave Xiao Rui behind, and waved his hand to let him retreat.
When he left the Palace of Nourishing Heart and passed by the Library Pavilion out of the palace, he had just walked over, and suddenly heard a timid female voice behind him: "King Xian... His Royal Highness King Xian! ”
Xiao Rui paused, subconsciously looked back, and saw a gap between the two vermilion doors of the Library Pavilion, and a girl dressed in female official clothes was hiding behind the door, looking at Xiao Rui.
At first glance, Xiao Rui felt that the girl was extremely beautiful and familiar.
It's not that Xiao Rui feels familiar as soon as he sees a beautiful woman, this time it's really déjà vu!
Xiao Rui turned around, looked at the girl, and when he saw the white jade lotus seed in the girl's hand, he suddenly reacted and shouted, "You are... The woman outside Qiuyang County! ”
The girl smiled like a flower, walked out of the library pavilion, and hurriedly saluted: "Little girl Yan Xiaoxiao, please see Engong." ”
Xiao Rui smiled: "It turns out that your name is Yan Xiaoxiao, you were far away at the time, and I only heard your surname Yan." You came to the capital to join your family, how did you enter the palace? ”
Yan Xiaoxiao said: "My distant uncle is an official in Beijing, and my cousin is reluctant to enter the palace, and he has already found someone he likes, so I entered the palace for my cousin." ”
After speaking, Yan Xiaoxiao was a little lost.
Xiao Rui nodded and asked, "So you were elected as a maid officer instead of your cousin?" But have they considered whether you want to or not? ”
Yan Xiaoxiao said: "My parents died early, thanks to my uncle's care, my grandfather and grandmother told me that people must learn to repay their kindness, and the palace is not Longtan Tiger's Den, as long as you are careful, you can still get out of the palace after a few years." ”
Xiao Rui smiled: "You are serving in the Library Pavilion now?" It's a deserted place. ”
If you can be favored by Your Majesty, it can be said that you can ascend to the sky in one step, so the best place is to stay in the harem, or where you can meet the emperor by chance.
Yan Xiaoxiao's cheeks were red and she bowed her head slightly. He was still serving in the Hundred Flowers Palace yesterday, but in order to meet Xiao Rui, she spent three months of monthly money before she was willing to be transferred to this deserted place that others were unwilling to come. Even if it's only with books, she's willing.
She didn't know why she was so persistent, maybe it was just to see her benefactor, to be able to see her from afar, or to say a word, even if she had been lonely for many years, she was satisfied.
"With books as a companion, it is not lonely!" Yan Xiaoxiao said gently.
Xiao Rui sighed with emotion: "With the fragrance of books as a companion, it is indeed not lonely, if there is anything you need help with, speak as soon as possible, we are also old acquaintances, in this deep silence palace, we must protect ourselves." ”
Yan Xiaoxiao raised her eyes, peeked at Xiao Rui, and felt her heart pounding, Xiao Rui's words warmed her heart.
"Your Highness, I... Something, please help! Yan Xiaoxiao didn't know why, she was fine, but she lied.
Xiao Rui said: "You say! ”
Yan Xiaoxiao said: "I want to ask His Royal Highness to send a letter out of the palace and bring it to my grandfather and grandmother." ”
Xiao Rui smiled: "No problem, have you finished writing?" ”
Yan Xiaoxiao pointed to the library and said, "Is it too late for me to write now?" Will it cause trouble for His Highness? ”
Xiao Rui looked around, there were guards outside the Heart Cultivation Palace, but he didn't pay attention to it, so Xiao Rui pointed to the Library Pavilion, walked in, and said, "It's okay." ”
In the library cabinet, there are all books.
There is a copywriter in the center, covered with a white tablecloth, on the table are placed the four treasures of the study, and there is a delicate incense burner lit with incense. On the other side, there is a delicate vase with an unknown wildflower, which adds a touch of fragrance to the library.
Yan Xiaoxiao came to the copywriter, laid out the paper and began to write.
Xiao Rui first looked at the library pavilion, and then fixed his gaze on Yan Xiaoxiao's body.
There is sunlight shining into the pavilion through the ventilation hole, spreading behind Yan Xiaoxiao, rendering it into a golden glow, which makes Xiao Rui regret that there is no camera and cannot leave this beautiful scenery.
Yan Xiaoxiao's heart has been excited, while writing a letter to her family, she peeked at Xiao Rui, when she saw that Xiao Rui was also looking at herself, her heart was like a deer, the hand holding the pen couldn't help but tremble, and her cheeks were filled with a touch of crimson.
After writing, Yan Xiaoxiao handed the letter to Xiao Rui.
Xiao Rui smiled: "I will enter the palace tomorrow to say goodbye, and I will bring you the words of your grandfather and grandmother at that time." ”
Yan Xiaoxiao nodded again and again, perhaps, this is the purpose of her lying.
It's good to see you again.
