Chapter 68: Marriage
Sima Nan let go, took two steps back, and sat down on the ground.
The blood-glittering sword shook a few times in Emperor Xiao's hand and was thrown to the ground.
"Go and call the imperial doctor."
Sima Nan got up from the ground and hummed.
"No, you can bandage me." Emperor Xiao took two steps back, fell into the chair, and said in a weak voice.
Sima Nan tore off a piece of his shirt and came over to bandage him.
"Do you remember that when I was eight years old, I was kidnapped by my uncle and threatened to abdicate my father. You ran barefoot in the snow for a day and a night, and brought in to rescue the soldiers, only to save me from danger.
Since then, it has fallen into trouble, and when it comes to rainy and cold weather, your feet will cramp and the pain is unbearable. But since I entered the palace, I have never seen you cry in pain. Emperor Xiao leaned on the table and said in a hoarse voice.
Sima Nan silently bandaged his wounds.
He didn't care too much about these things, and when Master Liao took him into the palace, he understood his identity, which was for the prince. His life is for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to drive.
So he did these things, in his opinion, they were all things that should be done, and it was Master Liao who rescued him from the robbers, took him into the palace, and let him survive, and the price he had to pay.
He really didn't know why, the emperor, who enjoyed his efforts before ascending the throne, often mentioned these past events after becoming the emperor, and every time he mentioned it, he was so sad, as if he was sorry for him.
When Emperor Xiao grabbed the hilt of the sword, he used too much force, and the wound was very deep, and he couldn't stop the bleeding when he took root alone, and he needed stitches.
"Go and call the imperial doctor to treat your wounds." Sima Nan said, and without waiting for him to answer, he had already swept out of the main hall.
Emperor Xiao stared at his back, smiled desolate and muttered: "Fool, you have been listening to Master Liao's words and thinking that you are my minion, for me, I don't know how many dangers you have taken, you can survive, only because you have a big life, or maybe God has eyes, and knows that it is me who should be damned, not you, so you will let things develop like this."
How I once let you save me and die for me, and how much I feel sorry for your humility and dedication now. ”

Calm was concentrating on polishing a knife for the banquet, Liang Huanxi walked up to her with a pile of clothes and materials, placed them on the table, and sighed:
"Calm down, you help me choose, which material is suitable for the concubine Niangniang, I have chosen it for a long time, and I am always dissatisfied, either too thin or too slabby, and there is no way to make the feeling of the fairy robe that the mother said."
Shaking his head calmly and embarrassedly: "I really can't know this, you are the accumulation of years in this industry, but you came to ask me a layman?" ”
Liang Sizhi shook her arm and stomped her feet: "Your mind is lively, the pair of shoes that I gave to my mother two days ago, didn't my mother love it very much?"
Besides, if it weren't for those shoes, how could it not have involved you in the picture? It can be seen that you have touched the spleen and stomach of the mother. ”
Calm and dizzy by her shake, she had to touch the fabrics one by one, and said with a smile: "One material is too light and thin, so can you try to sew two light and thin materials together, so that there is no rigidity of thick materials, and it looks crisp than one material, maybe it will come out with the feeling of fairy clothes." ”
"Ah, you're such a little treasure, why can't I think of it, I'll go in and try it" Liang Huanxi shouted happily, holding the fabric to leave, just took two steps, his body shook for a while, and he fell unconscious.
Calmly hurriedly put down the work in his hand, ran over and helped her to sit on a chair, pinched her with his nails, and fed her two sips of cold tea.
Liang Huanxi sighed and woke up.
"Didn't eat in the morning?" Calmly handed her a sweet cake.
Liang Huanxi stretched out his hand and pushed it out, and smiled bitterly: "I have eaten a lot, Li Siyi also boiled a bowl of medicinal food for me to drink, saying that it was a recipe you gave, which is the most beneficial to qi and replenish the spirit." ”
"This is weird, how can an innocent person faint?" Calmly took her arm and checked her pulse.
"Did you plant it in the dye vat last time?" Liang Huanxi said sadly.
Calmly shook his head: "Not really, maybe it's because you've stayed up late for the past two days and have a lack of energy, that's why you're like this?" I see that you don't have to sew any more double layers of clothing today, so let's rest quickly, don't make the phoenix robe, you lie down again, it will be worth the loss. ”
Liang Huanxi sneered: "Now is not the time to lie down, even if you are struggling for your life, you have to earn this robe first, otherwise you will not live up to Zhao Yue's expectations?" ”
"At this time, don't be angry, and don't always think about their uneasy intentions, maybe it's really because they're afraid that you will tell you about the ugly things in the past, so they have to put you in this position." Calmly persuade her.
"Ah, I'm not going to grind my teeth with you here, go in and sew the material." Liang Huanxi said goodbye and walked away.
calmly sent her out, and was about to close the door, when I saw Emperor Xiao's Luan driving honor guard enter the courtyard, and he was busy going out to greet her.
"Get up, they're all acquaintances, don't see each other like this." Emperor Xiao smiled teasingly and waved his sleeves to get her up.
Calm eyelids jumped.
This bastard emperor has nothing to do every day, he only knows how to cause trouble, and looking at him like that, I don't know what bad ideas he has to come up with.
"Leng Sishe, yesterday I went to the cold palace to see the emperor's brother, and found that the fence wall in his courtyard was rotten, you asked the little eunuchs to find a few bundles of unused sandalwood strips and huanghuali sticks, and send them over to re-organize them." Emperor Xiao smiled.
"The slave obeys." Calmly and respectfully replied, I want to do something.
Emperor Xiao stopped her, squinted at her and smiled: "Let's go to the cold palace with me to see the chapter?" I remember you saying you liked his rabbit.
Let me tell you, that rabbit is not an ordinary rabbit, it is a jade rabbit that was paid tribute by any country when my father was alive. ”
"But the slave has a lot of work to do." Calmly and weakly refused.
Emperor Xiao's eyes flashed, and his voice was heavier: "This is a holy decree, and you have to disobey it?" ”
"Slaves don't dare." replied calmly and helplessly, and followed Emperor Xiao to the cold palace.
When they entered the courtyard, Zhang Zheng was lying in the flowers in the yard catching grasshoppers, making a face full of mud, Zhou Damiang stood on the side, begging him to go into the house to wash his face, he just refused, but grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it at Zhou Damiang.
Seeing this, Emperor Xiao sighed unconsciously and glanced at him calmly: "Brother Huang, he is really pitiful, he was originally the prince who responded to the mandate of heaven, but now he has made this appearance of no one and no ghost, which is really distressing." ”
"The emperor is kind-hearted, and the slaves and maids also feel that the prince is really pitiful, or the emperor will give the prince a fief, let him move out of the palace, and send someone to take care of him, wouldn't it be better?" calmly peeked at Emperor Xiao's face, and whispered slowly.
Emperor Xiao stretched out his hand and touched his chin, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes: "You are a little female history, where can you understand the affairs of the temple, if I have the ability to protect him, how can I make him crazy?" ”
This matter is calm but understands, although Emperor Xiao is the king of a country, but not everything can cover the sky with one hand, the court has a cabinet, there are three divisions and six departments, and all officials are not fuel-efficient lamps.
Even if Sima Nan's methods were so strong, sometimes he couldn't parry them and had to lose to them, so he followed their advice.
"Brother Huang, you came to see me."
Zhang turned his head and saw Emperor Xiao, shouted happily, and ran over to this side.
Emperor Xiao conjured out a few pieces of glutinous rice cakes from his sleeve as if by magic, and held them in his hand and shook them towards the chapter who ran over.
Zhang approached, cheered and snatched over, ignoring the dirt in his hands, and greedily ate it.
"Slow, slow, let's go over there and wash our hands before eating, shall we?" Emperor Xiao coaxed a child's soft tone, and pulled the muddy Zhang towards the well platform over there, like a kind elder brother.
Calmly followed behind, looking at Emperor Xiao's eyes a little puzzled.
He washed his hands with Zhang very gently, without any anger at all, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell on him, plating him with a layer of gold edges, making him more and more handsome and abnormal, as if a god descended from heaven.
"Brother Huang, the sweet cake is delicious, Zhang still wants to eat it." Zhang stuffed the last piece of sweet cake into his mouth, chewed it, and shouted loudly, the food residue in his mouth sprayed on Emperor Xiao's face, Emperor Xiao smiled and reached out to wipe it off, and patted the dust on his robe: "Brother Huang, are you eighteen years old this year?" What should an eighteen-year-old man do, do you know? ”
"Eat sweet cakes and play with rabbits!" Zhang replied quickly.
"That's not right!" Emperor Xiao stretched out his hand wrapped in a thick silk silk and shook it.
"Brother Huang told you, I don't know." Zhang pursed his lips and asked him.
"It's time for an eighteen-year-old man to marry a wife!" Emperor Xiao laughed.
"Marry a daughter-in-law? Brother Huang wants to marry me a daughter-in-law? My mother also said that when people grow up, they will marry a daughter-in-law, and she also said that she would find me a beautiful woman to be my daughter-in-law. Zhang clapped his hands and laughed.
Emperor Xiao pointed to the calm standing behind him: "Imperial brother, do you see if this woman is beautiful?" ”
In the depths of Zhang's clear eyes, there was a bunch of happiness, but it passed quickly, sucking his nose, with a look of disgust: "She is too old, and she still wants to rob my little girl, I don't want her, I want the young lady who swept the floor in front, she is good to me, and she gives me fruit to eat." ”
sighed calmly and heavily, and finally understood why Emperor Xiao had that teasing smile on his face when he saw her.
He was going to come up with such a bad idea to play tricks on her!
"Brother Huang, she is not old, she is younger than us, you look at her old because she wants to marry you too much, she thinks too much so she gets old, and when you get married, she gets her wish, and she will naturally get younger and younger, more and more beautiful.
Also, these sweet cakes I gave you are all made by her, if I marry her to you, you will have sweet cakes every day in the future. ”
Emperor Xiao said softly to Zhang.
Zhang blinked, his face was a little displeased, but he still asked cautiously: "Brother Huang, is this a holy decree?" My mother taught me that if I say a holy decree, even if I don't want to, I have to obey it. ”
"Yes, yes, what I just said is the holy decree, and you must obey it." Emperor Xiao smiled and bent his eyes and said loudly.
"Then I'll marry her and let her make me sweet cakes every day!" Zhang sniffed and announced loudly.
Emperor Xiaochao's eyes flashed calmly, and he became serious: "Calm down, I want to congratulate you, you are about to transform from a little female history into a noble Royal Highness the Ninth Princess." ”
