Chapter 9: Grace (3K6, Part 1)

Wang Yixing smiled shallowly and did not answer. °F Top °F Point °F Small °F Says,

He has followed Emperor Xia Zhao for so many years, and his understanding of him has become deeper and deeper.

Emperor Xia Zhao has only had nothing to do with one person for so many years, and has only said the truth to one person, and that is Zheng Xiangrong.

Zheng Xiangrong is gone, and Emperor Xia Zhao has become a mystery, a mystery that no one can guess.

Of course, now that he is the Son of Heaven, he needs this situation.

The courtiers can't figure out the emperor's mind, and the emperor's mind can't be clearly seen by everyone.

Wang Yixing scrupulously guarded the duties of a courtier, and although he was already a prime minister above 10,000 people under one person, he still understood which boundaries he could not cross.

Therefore, he didn't say much, just bring Princess Wei's words to him.

Emperor Xia Zhao smiled and said, "Then you go and bring a message to Princess Wei, and report her and the daughter-in-law in the eyes of the uncle, so that I can take a look." If the other party refuses, I will help them say yes and say yes, what do you think? ”

Wang Yixing nodded, "That's very good, the minister will go to the uncle's mansion to spread the word when he goes back." ”

Wang Yixing did what he said, and soon brought the meaning of Emperor Xia Zhao to Princess Wei.

Of course, Princess Wei was grateful, and the next day she sent a post to the palace, asking to see Emperor Xia Zhao and fulfill her promise to Wang Yixing.

When Emperor Xia Zhao saw the post, he hurriedly invited her in, and said with a smile: "Princess Wei is polite, they are all relatives, why bother to see outside?" ”

Princess Wei brought the little princess Xia Rui into the palace together, and the two of them curtted dignified together.

Emperor Xia Zhao looked at Xia Rui and said with a smile: "The county lord also has twelve. Have you found your in-laws? ”

Princess Wei smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern." Riel is still young, and we don't want her to marry too early. ”

Yes, all those who have the ability and really feel sorry for their daughters don't want their daughters to marry too early.

Not to mention other trivial things after marriage, childbirth alone can make two or three percent of brides under the age of fifteen die.

Emperor Xia Zhao remembered Sheng Siyan in a trance, when she got married, she was less than fifteen years old, but fortunately, when she was happy later, she was already fifteen. When the child is born. She's sixteen.

But thinking of Sheng Siyan's nine deaths and life of Bao, Emperor Xia Zhao's gaze turned obscure and deep.

"Yes, Princess Wei really loves the little princess." Emperor Xia Zhao said with emotion, looked at Xia Rui and nodded.

"The Holy One has a good reputation. This child is not my own. But I raised it single-handedly. Even if it's biological, that's it. Princess Wei glanced at Xia Rui with a smile. Then he cautiously begged Ken and said, "Sheng, I brought Rui'er into the palace today to ask for a favor from the Sheng. ”

"Oh? Princess Wei spoke. Your family is too cautious. It's been like this for so many years. Could it be that I am the kind of emperor who can't tolerate people in his eyes? Emperor Xia Zhao said with a smile.

These words seemed to be leisurely, and they came out of Emperor Xia Zhao's mouth unhurriedly, and when they heard it in the ears of Princess Wei, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, so frightened that she quickly knelt down and said in fear: "The Holy One is angry!" The Holy One is angry! Our family is all idle, and we are cautious and cautious in the early years, when my father was in power, he always told us that we dare not go beyond it. ”

The "father" in Princess Wei's mouth is, of course, the grandfather of Emperor Xia Zhao, that is, the husband of the Empress Dowager.

"Princess Wei, what is this doing? Get up! Get up! Emperor Xia Zhao hurriedly beckoned the palace maid to help Princess Wei get up, and asked, "You just said to ask for a favor, what is the matter?" ”

Princess Wei calmed down and said with a smile: "That's the case, my family Rui'er and Shanshan are very compatible. I saw that Shanshan was the only one in the Xiangfu now, and there was no playmate of her age, so I wanted to ask for a grace from the saint to allow my family Ruier to be Shanshan's companion. ”

According to the practice of the Great Xia royal family, before the princess and prince came of age, there were companions by their side.

These companions, some from the clan, and some from the civil and military officials, are all candidates of the same age as the princess and prince.

Emperor Xia Zhao let out an "oh" and said, "But Xia Rui is the county lord, and Shanshan is just a commoner." The county lord is not suitable for the common people to read together, right? ”

Princess Wei took a deep breath and didn't dare to look up at Emperor Xia Zhao's eyes, but she still stubbornly said in one breath: "No matter what Shanshan's identity is, she is the blood of the saint and the biological daughter of the saint. Although we Rui'er are the county lords, we still don't have Shanshan's status. If she can be Shanshan's companion, it is her high climbing, and she is fortunate in her third life. ”

Emperor Xia Zhao quietly looked at Princess Wei and the little county lord Xia Rui who were kneeling on the ground, and after a while, he asked Xia Rui, "Where is the little county lord?" Are you familiar with Sanshan? He added: "Shanshan, this child is extremely willful and spoiled, can the little county lord stand her?" ”

Xia Rui also lowered his head, knelt beside his mother-in-law, and said, "The saint is too humble." I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion a few days ago and spoke to Shanshan. She was alone and lonely. I am willing to be with her, but I just study and play with her on weekdays. ”

Emperor Xia Zhao lowered his eyes and said lightly: "Well, I will think about it and give you an answer later." ”

Although there was no promise, there was no rejection.

Princess Wei felt a little calmer and stood up with Xia Rui.

Princess Wei said again: "Our prince returned to Beijing from other places and brought some interesting things back, which are rare in the Central Plains, so I want to set up a feast at home and invite relatives and friends to have a meal, which is lively and lively." ”

"Well, that sounds good." Emperor Xia Zhao was a little interested, "Uncle still has a heart." ”

"Wang Xiang has agreed, and he will bring Shanshan with him when the time comes. We also want to invite the eldest prince to sit at our house and take a look at those rare things by the way. ”

Xia Rui said with great interest: "My father has brought back a lot of rare birds and beasts this time. There are elephants from the southern Han country, and the tusks are white and long. There are zebras with black and white stripes on their bodies, and large lizards as long as crocodiles. There are proud white peacocks, and when the peacock's tail feathers are unfolded, they are colorful and beautiful like a rainbow in the sun. By the way, there are also cats and bears caught from the mountains, which are round and cute! ”

These animals are rare things that even the rare birds in the palace don't have, and Xia Rui can't help but be proud of his father.

Although I like to eat, drink and be merry. Not a proper job, but for children, such a father is what they like.

"You kid, that's all you remember!" Princess Wei said angrily, turned back to Emperor Xia Zhao and said, "I also brought back a lot of strange flowers and plants, thinking that if I raise them, I will pay tribute to the Holy Imperial Garden." However, they are all produced in other places, and our prince said that he doesn't know if he can raise them or not, so let everyone have a sneak peek. In the future, even if you can't feed it. There are no regrets. ”

Emperor Xia Zhao smiled and nodded: "It's really interesting, even I am curious." Okay, you send a post to the eldest prince. When the time comes, I will send him there. ”

The eldest prince who is only three years old. I should like these things very much.

Princess Wei was overjoyed. Busy and bowed: "Thank you for your grace!" ”

Then happily took the little county lord Xia Rui back to the palace.

Since Emperor Xia Zhao agreed and reported to him, the Shuwang Mansion was in full swing to prepare for this feast.

The entire capital has just experienced the sudden death of the god general. Still immersed in suppressed sadness.

This post from Shuwangfu finally allowed everyone to break free from the sad atmosphere, so everyone flocked to it and responded to it.

Human nature is inclined towards light and joy.

Darkness and sadness are both things that are to be avoided in the subconscious of human nature.

Therefore, the Shuwang's Mansion, which had been silent for several years, suddenly became the focus of attention in the capital, and the invitation to the Shuwang's Mansion feast was once again expensive in Luoyang, and it was difficult to find a thousand gold.

Because Shuwangfu has always been low-key and unobtrusive, their posts are only sent to particularly close friends and relatives.

Uncle Xia Liang never served in the court, so he had no colleagues.

Only the people of the Zongren Mansion are barely more familiar.

In addition to the Four Great Mansions in the capital, if other families want to get a post from the Shuwang's Mansion, they can only sharpen their heads and drill into it, or take out a large amount of silver and buy it on the black market.

Some people who have taken the invitation can transfer it if they don't want to go.

Because the posts of the uncle's mansion are divided into two kinds.

One is to write the name of the invitee, which of course cannot be transferred.

There is also a kind of one that does not have the name of the invitee, only a general post, and anyone can go to it if they get it.

Of course, it doesn't mean that you can even pick up beggars on the street.

Getting the invitation is just the first step.

The second step is to report to the uncle's mansion with the invitation, in addition to handing over the gift money, as well as the name and family history of the attendees.

â€Ļâ€Ļ

The status of the Divine General's Mansion is not ordinary, and he received three invitations at once.

One is for Old Man Zhou, one is for Grandma Feng, one is for Sheng Siyan and Zhou Huaixuan, and their son Bao.

Old Man Zhou was impatient to go, and he had already asked Zhou to reply to the post and politely refused.

Feng was also lazy, and ordered his mother-in-law to go to the uncle's mansion to give a gift, expressing his refusal.

In this way, Sheng Siyan and Zhou Huaixuan had to go.

Sheng Siyan sat under the vine trellis in the courtyard, looked at the post over and over, and said with a smile: "Don't say it, I'm really interested." ”

Zhou Xianbai joked beside him: "I heard that there are many good things that can't be seen in the Central Plains, elephants, zebras, white peacocks, cats and bears!" ”

Sheng Siyan knows that the "panda" here is the "panda" of later generations, round and round, and it is not funny.

She spent most of her previous life in a hospital bed, never been to the zoo, and only saw round pictures on the Internet.

I didn't expect that here, she would be able to feast her eyes.

“â€Ļâ€Ļ Po didn't go. Zhou Huaixuan sat beside her and commanded lightly.

"It's a shame." Sheng Siyan was extremely sorry, if Ah Bao could see the cat bear, he would definitely like it too.

Ah Bao sat in Sheng Siyan's arms, seemed to understand Zhou Huaixuan's words, frowned and waved his small fist at him, turned around and sat with his back to Zhou Huaixuan, not looking at him, sulking.

Sheng Siyan looked interesting, lowered his head and kissed Ah Bao on the cheek, and said in a low voice: "Ah Bao is good." In the future, my mother will find you a cat bear and keep it at home. ”

Ah Bao turned his head, his chubby little arms hugged Sheng Siyan's neck, and he babbled in his mouth, as if telling her not to forget.

A few people sat here for a while, and then Barley came over and said, "Grandma and Son, lunch has been prepared." ”

Zhou Xianbai immediately retired and went back to lunch.

Zhou Huaixuan and Sheng Siyan took Ah Bao into the room and sat down at the table.

After lunch, Ah Bao was already drowsy and was taken to a nap by Fan's mother.

Zhou Huaixuan and Sheng Siyan sat on the couch in the warm pavilion, each holding a cup of tea and talking.

It was quiet in the room, and the early summer wind brought warmth through the half-open windows.

Sheng Siyan looked at the empty courtyard and asked Zhou Huaixuan in a low voice, "...... You tell me the truth, what's the matter with those paper money and incense sticks? ”

Although the purchase is the second master, and the inspection is Zhou's steward, Sheng Siyan doesn't believe it, Zhou Huaixuan will not care about these things that enter the house from the outside!

Especially after experiencing the situation that the Divine General's Mansion was almost broken more than half a year ago, Zhou Huaixuan has reorganized the manpower in the mansion.

If there can still be such a mistake, then this Zhou Huaixuan must be fake!

Zhou Huaixuan stretched out his fingers, wrapped the strands of hair hanging from Sheng Siyan's sideburns around his hands, and said lightly: "Why do you ask like this?" ”

"Do you really want me to say it?" Sheng Siyan unceremoniously pulled his hair away from his hand, "You have repeatedly told you not to let Ah Bao go to the mourning hall." Even I am only allowed to go once a day, and I can't stay longer than a stick of incense. Mother and grandfather don't go to ......."

Zhou Huaixuanyun smiled lightly, "...... It has nothing to do with me, I just let it go. If they are willing to stuff poison, let them do it themselves. ”
