235 Do You Want Me to Marry?
"Huh?" Xiao Ting was dumbfounded again, "It seems to be the same." ”
Regarding the issue of seniority, Miss Xiao Liu felt that what others said was right.
She doesn't have a dime to do with the people here anyway.
The emperor was a little helpless when he saw that they really discussed the seniority with a child.
"Uncle Huang, you know the value of those halls, how can you let her demolish them randomly?"
Although I have always known that this imperial uncle is not very in charge of things, he has not done anything out of the ordinary.
What's going on now?
The Tai Hospital, which had been calm for a long time, was demolished like this, and he was still an accomplice.
At this time, Xiao Ting stopped talking, and the Nine Princes were also very curious.
For a moment, all eyes fell on the hunchbacked old man.
"I didn't let her dismantle it, you know, this girl is not an ordinary person!"
It looks like it's very appreciative and admirable.
The emperor glanced at Xiao Ting without a trace, he naturally knew that this girl was not an ordinary person, she knew magic, during this period, he also asked Xiao Guifei where Xiao Ting learned the magic, but unfortunately Xiao Guifei didn't know.
The Emperor nodded in agreement.
"Then do you know why the Four Halls of the Sage's Benevolence will exist here for a long time?"
Naturally, the emperor did not know this.
This place did not belong to the empire before, it should be said that it did not belong to any country, they have long since not known what this place used to be, but it has been passed down from generation to generation.
Two hundred years ago, the empire took over this place, and after a master saw that this place was unusual, the emperor ordered people to build this place into a hospital and four halls of sage benevolence, living in them, and building other houses around him, but they never knew what the role of these four halls was.
It's an ornament, to be exact.
But even if we don't know the origin and function of these four halls, they have been left by our ancestors for generations, and you let them be demolished like this?
And being an accomplice, do you have any sense to say that?
"You don't know, I don't know, but someone knows, you ask the little girl."
Su Lao continued to speak, his eyes fell on Xiao Ting's body, very kind.
Before Xiao Ting could say anything, someone outside the hall invited her!
It's Xu Zhen.
He was dressed in iron, clanging, and strode with a solemn expression, first saluted the emperor and the ninth prince, and just nodded to Xiao Ting.
Then he said bluntly: "Your Majesty, the hanging coffin has no landing point at all, and your subordinates are incompetent, so I am here to ask for instructions." ”
"What are you going to do? Put the rice down. ”
Xiao Ting looked at him in surprise, then looked at the emperor and said, "That hanging coffin can't be put down." ”
"Why?" The emperor had already believed Su Lao's words and looked at Xiao Ting.
"They belong to four in one, hey, I tell you, you don't understand, anyway, these four hanging coffins must be made visible first, and then land at the same time, so that I can find a way to open them."
"Is it going to be such a trouble?"
Xiao Ting nodded, knowing what they meant, and explained, "If you forcibly use force, you will destroy the things inside." ”
"You said there was something in that hanging coffin?" The emperor was stunned, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and he was a little distracted.
"Of course, what else would I do with putting it down?"
Xiao Ting secretly rolled her eyes at the emperor, is she really idle and has nothing to do, specializing in demolishing other people's houses?
She's innocent, okay?
Xu Zhen had seen Xiao Ting's skills, and although he was skeptical of her words, he still followed her according to the emperor's instructions.
The dignified commander of the Chu Wei Army was reduced to a coolie, helping on the side.
The others had already been sent out of the Imperial Hospital, and there were only a few pharmacists left here who had helped from the beginning, as well as the chief eunuch of the Emperor's Nine Princes, and some guards.
Except for the emperor and the ninth prince, everyone else was yelled at by Xiao Ting, drinking and shouting, and working everywhere.
As for what kind of work to do, hehe, a group of people are there to tear down the house.
Half a day passed in a flash, and the ministers didn't go back, so they wanted to see what the result of the discussion was inside, but after waiting and waiting, no one came out, they didn't ask if they wanted to, and they didn't dare to go in.
Some good people wandered around the hospital for a day, and came back to talk about it, and there was a lot of movement inside, and they all speculated that the house was being demolished again.
After getting the news, Chu Jiyao, the eldest prince who came in a hurry, came over.
Everyone stepped forward to salute, and he waved his hand and asked about the situation inside.
The crowd couldn't come up with a reason, but only a general description of what they knew.
After learning about it, Chu Jiyao strode in, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, they are all a little speechless, but the emperor drove them all out.
"In the past, the most special thing in the royal family was that there was only one Nine Princes."
"Now there is another big prince, I just don't know ...... these two, hehe, they still like the same woman."
"Since ancient times, there have been many disasters and waters. I looked at the six girls of the Xiao family, but they are not fuel-efficient lamps. ”
"You dare to say that."
"Afraid of what? Her biggest backer, the Xiao family, is still locked up in the cold palace. ”
This is also a brainless person, and he didn't answer his words at the moment.
Now who doesn't know that Xiao Lingyue will return to the harem sooner or later, the current queen is still young, and because of the face of the queen mother, the emperor did not issue an order to restore Xiao Lingyue's position.
This one is good, and he takes it seriously.
For a while, everyone quietly stayed away from him, for fear of being affected by this person who was not afraid of death.
Chu Jiyao's arrival did not attract the attention of many people.
The emperor also drove him out, and when he saw Xiao Ting busy, he frowned slightly.
Strode over.
But he didn't say a word, just protected her below.
The emperor saw it in his eyes, sighed secretly, and then looked at the Nine Princes beside him, and saw that he didn't have any emotions, so he put his mind at ease, in fact, sometimes he also had a headache.
This brother and son are in love with the same woman, what should he do?
You say it's not good to like anyone, but you like this woman, and this is not a worry-free master.
Xiao Ting's amount of work can be described as huge, and it alarmed the inside and outside of the palace for a while.
The emperor waited here for a day, but without results, and left early.
Xiao Ting sent everyone back to rest, and she went back to where she stayed last night.
The Ninth Prince left with the emperor, Chu Jiyao did not leave, and found her.
Xiao Ting didn't refuse this time, nor did she deliberately avoid him, as if she was waiting for him, she also opened the door for him when he knocked on the door and invited him in, everything looked like a good start, but Chu Jiyao was a little uneasy.
He even wanted to turn away.
There were bright candles in the room, which had already burned more than halfway, and it was obvious that Xiao Ting had been waiting for a long time.
"Please come in, I have something to tell you." Xiao Ting said straight to the point.
"I know, you name it."
Chu Jiyao frowned and sat opposite her.
"Great Prince, I have heard a lot about what has happened recently, and there are rumors from the outside world that you and the Ninth Prince both like me, and I have become a disaster."
"You don't have to pay attention to what they say."
Chu Jiyao's brows frowned even tighter, Xiao Ting shook her head, and said, "I found that you are not as happy as before when you became the eldest prince." ”
"If you're really unhappy, then leave, you never belong to this place anyway."
Xie Jingtian in her impression, although he is old-fashioned, is upright, and he is the kind of scholar who can be seen through at a glance.
But today's Chu Jiyao is obviously the same face and the same soul, but the whole person no longer looks so easy to get along with, there is a sense of loneliness, and there is also a sense of nobility.
But compared to now, Xiao Ting still misses that shy young man more.
"The concubine loves it here."
That's his reasoning.
It's also his body that can't help it.
In fact, there is another sentence he didn't say, you also like powerful people.
"Okay, let's get down to business." Xiao Ting clapped her hands and continued: "In life, how can you not care about what others say?
Of course, I don't really care about other people's opinions, but there is one thing. I like freedom and I don't like to be noticed. ”
"So what?" Chu Jiyao asked rhetorically, his eyes looked particularly blurry under the reflection of the candlelight.
"So, I hope you can find a girl with the rules to marry."
Xiao Ting said bluntly, "Of course, this is also what you are willing to do." ”
"Married? Do you want me to get married? ”
Chu Jiyao, whispering these two words slowly.
Xiao Ting nodded and said, "There are some words, I think I didn't explain it." ”
"I don't deny liking you because I think you're a good friend, but it's not the kind of liking that you can spend your life with.
And the disparity between your and my status is too big, of course I don't care about these, but, I don't like these either, I don't like others to say that I am high, I will not be low, the most important thing is that you and I can only be friends, in my heart. ”
Xiao Ting told him these words very seriously, without a bit of joke, she hoped that Chu Jiyao could wipe out this unexplained emotion.
"What you like is Uncle Nine Wang!" Chu Jiyao didn't think much about it, and said directly, he used an affirmative sentence.
Xiao Ting still shook her head.
"If you say you like the same as I say you like, then I tell you, I don't like anybody, and I won't like anybody."
"Why?"
Xiao Ting's words gave Chu Jiyao a clear answer, and also made his heart a little more comfortable, at least he didn't lose to someone, but to her heart.
"This is my own vow, it has nothing to do with anyone, you just need to know that the road between me and you is destined to be friends enough, I hope that you can live your own life, whether you want to marry or not, I just hope that the two of us will not be mentioned at the same time in the future."
Xiao Ting said very chicly, her expression was brisk, Chu Jiyao saw it in her eyes and knew that she was not lying.
"I appreciate your concern, but I don't need it."
Xiao Ting tried her best to explain things clearly, and she didn't care if she hurt others.
The main thing is that she thinks that it can't go on like this, she didn't hear what everyone talked about just now, and she didn't know it, although they all hid it from her, she was neither deaf, nor dumb, nor blind.
