On the high city wall, King Duan Rui and King Qing stood on top of the city tower and watched Su Zimo take Dugu Dieyi into the city.

Duanwang's face was very bad.

King Rui didn't seem to be happy to see King Duan, and when he saw King Duan's appearance, he immediately became sarcastic.

"Second brother, I heard that as early as half a year ago, you sent a letter of affection to the princess. Now that the princess has entered the Heavenly Dynasty and kissed, she actually ignores you, is the princess weak, or are you not charming enough? ”

Ruiwang's mouth is simply poisonous.

As the saying goes, hitting people doesn't slap their faces, saying that people don't expose their shortcomings, how can he focus on the sore spots.

"You're spying on me?" King Duan exclaimed.

No one knew about the fact that he sent people to Western Xia to deliver love letters, and every time he sent a letter, he sent a trustworthy servant in person.

Where did King Rui get the news from? Unless he has someone by his side.

"My good second brother, how can I spy on you, I obviously care about you, you see, I'm afraid it's your hard work to make wedding clothes for others."

King Rui motioned to King Duan to look downstairs at the city gate.

Coincidentally, Su Zimo led Dugu Dieyi's sedan chair into the city.

In this scene, King Duan's eyes were all painful. You know, he is a confident person, and he is convinced that his fiery love letter can move Dugu Dieyi.

But reality gave him an ear scraper.

"What is he? This good thing of the princess of Xixia and her relatives will not hit him, the son of a criminal concubine. "Duanwang is extremely confident. The tone of disdain was particularly obvious.

Hearing his words, King Qing on the side couldn't help it.

"This time, the initiative is in the hands of the princess. The princess said that whoever she chooses, then whoever will ascend to the sky in one step. Second brother, you have always been confident, don't let your self-confidence turn into self-harm. ”

King Qing's kind reminder.

King Rui on the side couldn't help but snort coldly.

"Second brother, he is not the son of a criminal concubine. He, like you and me, is the biological son of his father. Although his status is low now and he has no power or power, it does not mean that he will not have it in the future. Have you all heard about the Ten Thousand Buddha Hall yesterday? ”

Duanwang's face became heavier, but it was King Qing, who looked extremely relaxed.

Yesterday, the recognition of Emperor Tianwei and the five princes had spread throughout the corners of the palace.

Emperor Tianwei has been ill for more than a month, and the dragon's physical strength is gradually exhausted. He made a holy decree, and the monks of the royal temple came to the palace Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple to pray for him.

When the monk entered the palace, he brought his lay disciples with him.

On that day, after praying for blessings, a young man knelt on the ground, and made a wish to the Buddha with tears in his eyes, wishing that his father would be in good health and live a long life.

At that time, a little eunuch who was cleaning the Buddhist hall heard such a chatter and quietly told his master, that is, Emperor Tianwei's close attendant Cao Gonggong.

When Gonggong Cao heard this, he knew that this crime was not small. The Ten Thousand Buddha Hall is royal, and a young boy borrowed the royal Buddha Hall to petition for his father, which is a great crime of disrespect. That's a big sin to kill the head and destroy the nine clans.

After coming and going, the young man was brought to Emperor Tianwei.

When the young man saw Emperor Tianwei, he didn't say a word, but his tears flowed for a long time.

Emperor Tianwei saw him shed tears, and he was very upset, and planned to order someone to drag him down and take him seriously.

When he saw the longevity lock around his neck, Tianwei Emperor was like waking up.

The string of long-life locks was hung up by Emperor Tianwei himself when the fifth prince was born. How could he not recognize it?

In this way, father and son recognize each other.

Although Su Zimo was not ordered to enter the capital, his filial piety was really touching. Emperor Tianwei didn't mention it.

The next day, he sent him out of the city to announce the decree and invite Dugu Dieyi into the palace.

Originally, it was not unusual for the father to recognize his son, whom he hadn't seen for many years. However, if this matter falls into the eyes of those with ulterior motives, it will be a big deal.

is like the current Duanwang, although he doesn't regard Su Zimo as a threat, but today Su Zimo stole his limelight, which made him very unhappy.

"Second brother, if you want me to say, you are really greedy, you already have a princess and sister-in-law, and you are still worried about this Xixia princess, too much? The princess's sister-in-law is the daughter of the Zhou Mingjing family, and you are not afraid of offending the Zhou family. ”

Zhou Mingjing is the prime minister of the Celestial Empire, following Emperor Tianwei for more than 20 years, and has won the trust of Emperor Tianwei.

Three years ago, Emperor Tianwei personally decreed the marriage and married Zhou Mingjing's daughter Zhou Xuewu to King Duan as the princess.

With Zhou Mingjing as a backer, Duanwang has grown greatly in recent years.

"Don't you think about the princess of Xixia as much as I do? Not only do you have a princess, it is said that around the Chinese New Year, you will also accept another Hu person as a side concubine. Yue Niangniang played a good hand of chess, which has to be admired. ”

Duan Wang's words made King Rui not feel very good.

"You are worried about Princess Xixia, do you want her to be your concubine?" Duanwang said coldly: "You have also seen the temperament of the princess of Xixia, I'm afraid I won't be impressed by your charm, right?" ”

King Rui was speechless for a while, but he was speechless.

You must know that this Xixia princess is so beautiful, he is willing to marry the princess three or five years later.

King Qing looked at the two of you, you mock me, I sarcastically mock you, it's quite boring.

He arched his hand and said goodbye: "Two brothers, it is windy upstairs at the city gate, if you want to talk, why don't you find a quiet place, soak a pot of wine, and have a good discussion?" Little brother, I still have some things to deal with, so I'll leave it at that......"

After speaking, without waiting for any reaction from the two, he waved his sleeves and left.

"Hey, fourth brother, I also have something to do, let's go together, you wait for me......" King Rui didn't bargain for anything and left.

On the tower of the city gate, only the king of Duan remains.

King Duan's eyes swept over everything below the tower, and the fire in his eyes seemed to turn the city to ashes.

Originally, he had contact with Dugu Dieyi in advance, in order to smoothly accept Dugu Dieyi as a side concubine, so as to win over the forces of Western Xia and operate for his own ascension to the crown prince in the future.

Now it seems that there is some resistance, but fortunately, there is a way to save it.

Princess Xixia lived in the palace compound, which was the world of his mother, Empress Sun.

It seems that these days, he has to have a little heart, and he has also let Queen Sun take a little effort. As long as Dugu Dieyi is his side concubine, he will be one step closer to the position of the crown prince.

It is said that he is the son of the queen of the Middle Palace, and he has a powerful father-in-law like Prime Minister Zhou Mingjing, and it is logical to ascend to the throne of the crown prince.

It's just that the Celestial Empire has always had rules, and the prince is virtuous but not the elder.

This rule has become a stumbling block on his way to becoming emperor.

Thinking of the scene when Su Zimo welcomed Dugu Dieyi into the city, the flame of jealousy in King Duan's eyes burned again.

This woman is his, must be his, and he will not allow any man to come near her.
