Xiao Rui sat in the top seat, and then Wu Zhanfa led a eunuch of the Inner Court Division to walk in.

The eunuch of the Inner Court Division entered the hall and immediately knelt down respectfully: "Xiao Mingzi, under the command of Zhao Gaogao, the head of the palm seal of the Inner Court Division, will knock on His Royal Highness King Xian." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Rui pretended to groan lightly and asked, "Why didn't Zhao Zhangyin come?" ”

"My family is busy with official business, so I really can't find time to come here in person." Xiao Mingzi replied.

Xiao Rui didn't laugh angrily, and repeated: "Can't spare time? Zhao Zhangyin is really a great opportunity, I heard that when I go to the house of my two younger brothers, I can spare enough time, and I will be tired when I come to this king. ”

After a pause, Xiao Rui got up and continued to ask: "Xiao Mingzi, the king asked you, Zhao Zhangyin sent you here, but you came to tell the prince that the mansion is ready?" ”

Xiao Mingzi was stunned, didn't he tell you the day before yesterday? Today, I sent someone to the Inner Court Division to ask Lord Palm Seal, did I deliberately pretend to be stupid?

"Back to the prince, the funds of the Inner Court Division are really tight, and it took a lot of difficulties and dangers to prepare two sets of prince's mansions, and my lord is thinking about His Royal Highness King Xian, and he must give those two sets of mansions to His Royal Highness the Eighth and Ninth Highnesses first." Xiao Mingzi immediately repeated what Zhao Gaogao had explained, and said: "If Your Highness is in a hurry, the Inner Court Division has prepared a larger mansion, which is far larger than the mansion where His Royal Highness King Xian lives now, or His Highness will move over to live there temporarily?" ”

Xiao Rui asked rhetorically, "Then when will the Inner Court Division prepare this king's mansion?" ”

"Well..."Xiao Mingzi looked at Xiao Rui's expression, and expected that he would not dare to get angry, after all, he is a down-and-out prince, there is a saying that a down-and-out phoenix is not as good as a chicken, and a tiger is bullied by dogs in Pingyang, etc.! Forget the last sentence.

Xiao Mingzi said proudly: "Back to His Royal Highness King Xian, as for when it will be ready, it depends on how my Lord Zhao arranges it, and it won't take too long to think about it, three or five months is not short, and three or five years is not too long." Your Highness, please rest assured, you will definitely have a big and good prince's mansion for you. ”

Xiao Rui was furious, slapped the table, and shouted: "How can this be reasonable! Did Zhao Gaogao bully the king when he was young, and there was no one in the court? What did he do with my father's commands? If outsiders know, they can laugh at this king, where is my father's face? ”

Xiao Mingzi was stunned, his heart was bursting, he felt that although he was showing off his might, the fox was fake and the tiger was mighty, but if King Xian chopped himself, it was estimated that Lord Palm Print would not be angry for himself.

So the tone was much more well-behaved: "His Royal Highness King Xian, please also understand that it is not easy for the Inner Court Division, and there is no way for Lord Palm Print, you can rest assured, the villain will definitely report the situation to Lord Zhao after he goes back, prepare the mansion as soon as possible, and hand it over to His Royal Highness." ”

At the desk.

Meng Fuzi, who was quietly watching all this, couldn't help the anger in his chest, and directly threw the wolf in his hand and hit the eunuch Xiao Mingzi.

"It's tolerable, it's unbearable! How can this be justified, how can this be justified! ”

Meng Fuzi shouted: "His Royal Highness King Xian, as the son of Emperor Xia, has a noble status, and now that he has opened a mansion, he is even more of a great prince, and he Zhao Gaogao, the internal official of a small inner court, dares to despise the royal dignity and humiliate the dignified Prince of Great Xia, it is really an unforgivable sin!" Who gave him dog guts! Get out, you get out of the old man! ”

Meng Fuzi blew his beard and glared, because of anger, his old body was a little unstable.

Xiao Rui immediately felt guilty, in order to deal with the Inner Court Division, he actually let such an old Meng Fuzi act as a pioneer, how could his conscience be at ease?

"Master, pay attention to your body." Xiao Rui supported him, patted him on the back, and combed his depression.

This move made Meng Fuzi appreciate Xiao Rui even more, and his jealous and hateful temperament made him decide that he had to take care of this matter today, not only to return Xiao Rui's article, but also to avoid the dignity of the Great Xia royal family being trampled on.

Meng Fuzi glared at Xiao Mingzi angrily and shouted: "Go back and tell Zhao Gaogao, let him think clearly, who gave him his position!" ! ”

Xiao Mingzi didn't know Meng Fuzi, but he also knew that an old man of this age was not something he could mess with, so he immediately took his leave and fled.

Meng Fuzi looked at Xiao Rui and said, "His Royal Highness King Xian, no wonder when I first entered the mansion, when I talked about the prince's mansion, your face was condensed, it turned out that the Inner Court Division has been making things difficult for you. ”

Xiao Rui sighed, began to play his best actor acting skills, and said: "To be honest, the court division sent someone to say that my mansion is not ready the day before yesterday, I originally thought that the inner court division was really not ready, after all, the three princes opened the mansion at the same time, and manpower, material and financial resources do need to be mobilized to a great extent, so today I sent someone to invite Zhao Gaogao, ready to ask about the situation again, who knew that this kind of thing would be encountered." ”

"Hey, in fact, it doesn't matter where I live, but if it's too shabby, I'm embarrassed, but if I lose the face of the royal family, how can I face my father?"

Speaking of this, Xiao Rui looked bitter: "My mother died early, there was no one in the harem, and I was punished by my father these days, and now these things have happened, and I am used to it, which makes the master laugh." ”

Immediately, Xiao Rui smiled reluctantly and said, "Master, let's talk about poetry, the student will finish writing "The Burrow", and then ask the master to comment." ”

"No hurry!" Meng Fuzi raised his hand to stop Xiao Rui, and said solemnly: "Your Highness, you have just opened the mansion, and it is indeed not suitable to go to Your Majesty, but the old man can, and the old man still gives some thin noodles from the old man." Today's events, since the old man sees it in his eyes, he can't sit idly by. The old man will enter the palace now! ”

Xiao Rui was suddenly anxious, and hurriedly said: "Master, don't do it!" You are a clear stream in the world, and you have long only asked about the court, and now you have taken the liberty to enter the palace for me, isn't the student breaking the rules of the master? Or even cause hostility from others? ”

Meng Fuzi smiled and said: "You don't have to worry, this time you are small, for Emperor Xia is big, the old man's rules are naturally the old man's words, who dares to point fingers?" As for the hostility of some people, the old man didn't care even more. Your Royal Highness, the old man will give you a word, be poor and strong, and do not fall into the ambition of the clouds. You are a prince, although there is no one in the harem and no one in the court, as long as your ambition is enough, the world can't help your edge, remember. ”

With that, Meng Fuzi immediately left the house.

Xiao Rui chased and stopped, but he could only watch Meng Fuzi get into the carriage and walk towards the palace.

"Hey..."Xiao Rui sighed.

Jia Xu walked over and said with a smile: "Your Highness feels guilty? Meng Fuzi is upright, but we use intrigues. ”

Xiao Rui also smiled and replied: "I just think that using such a benevolent old man is morally unjustifiable." ”

Jia Xu said solemnly: "That's why Your Highness has to work hard to grow up as soon as possible, worthy of the help of Master Meng." I believe that in the future, His Highness will meet more and more such people. ”

"yes, I'm going to work hard!" Xiao Rui clenched his fists, full of fighting spirit.
