"Huh, old fourteen, are you really ...... Old Fourteen?"

It is still the small courtyard where Xiao Sheng lives in the Ten Kings' Mansion. In the living room, Prince Xian Xiao Chang sat in the guest seat, although he was holding a teacup, he didn't even drink half a mouthful. He was full of surprise and looked Xiao Sheng up and down.

Let's say, five days ago, Xiao Sheng was a pond in the eyes of Prince Xian. Now, five days later, the pond has become a lake. Whether it is deep or shallow, or wide, it is very obvious that there has been a "qualitative" leap. And all this change happened in such a short period of time. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Prince Xian would have found it hard to believe.

Xiao Sheng smiled and didn't explain. He took a deep breath and focused. The originally exposed edge immediately slowly converged. In the blink of an eye, he had recovered from the lake and back into a pond. However, for Prince Xian, who had already experienced that kind of momentum, it was impossible to treat Xiao Sheng as a pond anymore no matter what.

However, Xiao Sheng has a secret on him, which Prince Xian has long understood. If there were no secrets, how could the old fourteen go from a well-known "waste prince" to an existence that even Prince Xian can't see through today?

Prince Xian is a man of great affection and insight into the world. Therefore, we will never rush to find out the secrets of others. He calmed down, and immediately regained his composure. I thought I was surprised as if I had never existed. He smiled and said: "Old Fourteen, I came here today for my brother, not for anything else, just to bring you the latest court newspaper to see." As he spoke, he took out a newspaper from his sleeve, put it on the coffee table, and pushed it towards Xiao Sheng.

Xiao Sheng took it over and read it carefully, and found that three major events were written on it

First: One of the five marquis of the Eastern Wilderness, Hou Niu Lao, was ordered to enter Beijing to celebrate the queen's birthday. But during his stay in Beijing, Niu Lao actually robbed the minor's ** and tried to forcibly rape him. was discovered by the arrest of the yamen in the capital and ordered to be arrested. Niu Lao actually resisted arrest. An accident occurred in the chaos, Niu Lao was pushed down the stairs and broke his neck and died on the spot.

As for the looted civilian**, he has been safely rescued and properly placed by the imperial court.

Second: More than a dozen officials in the imperial court jointly played a chorus, accusing the Eastern Wilderness of righteousness and bullishness, greedy for money and power in the Eastern Wilderness, bullying men and women, and committing lawlessness. Smuggling a wide range of contraband goods for profit. He also secretly colluded with the overseas Eagle Jixiang Kingdom to support the rebellious party, intending to subvert the rule of the Dahao Dynasty in the Eastern Wilderness. Pile by pile, the evidence is conclusive.

The imperial court issued a holy decree in the name of the empress, cutting off the title of Niu Lao Yiqi Marquis, and beheading everyone up and down the righteous gas gate. All the property of the righteous valve was not put into the state treasury.

The remaining four of the five marquis of the third Eastern Wilderness - Huangfu Yu, Marquis of Jinyu, Sima Tianxia, Marquis of Jinscale, Marquis Wen Dahai, Tiger Shark Marquis, and the ninth book of the first-class marquis, have entered Beijing and asked the court for the sake of righteousness.

The queen cordially received the four marquis of the Eastern Wilderness, and rewarded them for loving the imperial court and the Eastern Wilderness, and for their general knowledge of major situations. He also encouraged them to make persistent efforts to make further contributions to the policy of "treating famine with famine, unchanged for a hundred years".

The imperial court also promised to transfer all the high-speed post road projects originally scheduled to be jointly undertaken by the five firms in Zhonghuan to the firms under the names of the four marquis of Donghuang to undertake, and enjoy a number of preferential treatment in terms of taxation and land development.

Xiao Sheng put down the newspaper, and for a while, he only felt that he couldn't cry or laugh. After a long time, he shook his head and said, "Starling, the three major events on this newspaper, the first and the second, must be the handiwork of Starling." It's really hard for you. ”

"It's not hard work, it's all for the sake of the court and the people of Dahao. Prince Xian also smiled: "In fact, in the imperial court, there are many people who don't like the five marquis of the Eastern Wilderness. The so-called unrighteous and helpless, and the righteous have a lot of help. Since righteousness is self-defeating, the people who help push it are as many as they want. ”

"But that's true. But he was able to get things done in just a few days. Except for starlings, who else can do it?" Xiao Sheng picked up the teacup and saluted Prince Xian: "There is no wine here, so the younger brother will replace the wine with tea and toast the starling with a glass." ”

Although Prince Xian was polite, he was actually very proud that he could get things done so quickly. Seeing Xiao Sheng toasting tea, he didn't shirk it, he also picked up the teacup, nodded his head, and took a sip.

Putting down the cup, Prince Xian spoke again: "Although the matter has been completed, it is only superficial. The queen ordered to see the folk ** who was robbed by Niu Lao as mentioned in the Di newspaper, that is, Ling Ziling. ”

Xiao Sheng subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Ling Ziling, who was standing next to him. asked, "The queen is going to see Sister Ziling today?"

"It's better to do it sooner rather than later. Prince Xian said in a condensed voice: "Otherwise, it is easy to have long nights and dreams, and there will be branches." By the way, what about the Nether Orb?"

Xiao Sheng said casually: "The Netherworld Bead has not yet reached the time of birth. But starlings don't worry. All in all, after deciding on the big event of the competition to win the pearls, the four marquis of the Eastern Wilderness will not be left without beads to take. ”

Prince Xian nodded and said, "That's fine." Then, Old Fourteen, Ling Girl, go and change your clothes. After the change, they will go with me to meet the queen. ”

————

In the palace, the emperor is the sky. Therefore, the emperor's residence is called Qianqing Palace. This palace, from the founding of the Dahao Dynasty to the present, is the most important building in the palace. It is equivalent to the heart of the Great Hao Dynasty.

However, a few years ago, things changed. When today's son was sick, he concentrated on recuperating and no longer received foreign ministers. All the major affairs of the court and politics were handed over to the queen to deal with. Therefore, in recent years, the Kunning Palace, where the queen lives, has almost replaced the supremacy of the Qianqing Palace.

Xiao Sheng, who was wearing a formal court uniform, followed behind Prince Xian, leading Ling Ziling, and at this moment, he was standing in front of the gate of the main hall of Kunning Palace, waiting to be received.

Footsteps sounded. A thin eunuch in his forties, walked out of the Kunning Palace quickly. Prince Xian perked up and whispered to Xiao Sheng: "Old Fourteen, this is the most trusted eunuch by the queen's side, called Liu Qingyun. This man is narrow-minded and greedy for money. You must be careful not to offend him. ”

Xiao Sheng nodded with a smile and said, "Got it." Prince Xian was relieved, took the initiative to step forward, and said with a smile: "Gonggong Liu, I haven't seen you for a few days, and my complexion is better." As the saying goes, people are in good spirits when they are happy, is there any happy event for my father-in-law?"

Gonggong Liu covered his mouth with a sharp voice and smiled: "The lights exploded last night, and the magpie crowed this morning, which is a good sign that a distinguished guest is coming." Sure enough, Your Highness is here. Haha, if you want to talk about happy events, can there be other things, can you be more happy than seeing Your Royal Highness?

"Oh, Grandpa Liu, don't say this, Xiao Wang can't stand it. Prince Xian waved his hand again and again, and then with a smile, he felt something from his sleeve and stuffed it into Gonggong Liu's hand. said: "Father-in-law, Xiao Wang recently got a snuff bottle, and it's not bad. It's a pity that Xiao Wang doesn't smoke snuff either, this thing fell into my hands, which is a waste. I heard that my father-in-law is an expert in this way, why don't you take it to appreciate it?"

Liu Gonggong picked it up and took a look, only to see that the snuff box was carved from a whole piece of jadeite. The material alone is already worth a lot of money. Coupled with handiwork, it is even more precious. He smiled on the spot, stuffed the snuffbox into his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Then thank Your Highness the Eight." Eh, this is His Highness the Fourteenth, and that one is the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Sect?"

Prince Xian said yes at the head of his jaw, and asked Xiao Sheng to come over to pay a salute. Xiao Sheng was neither arrogant nor humble, and gave up his hand. The attitude is neither far nor close, neither affectionate nor cold, in short, teaching people not to make mistakes. Ling Ziling also lowered her head and shouted, "Father-in-law, good." ”

When Gonggong Liu saw that Xiao Sheng didn't give a meeting gift, he was unhappy in his heart. However, Gonggong Liu also knew that Xiao Sheng was a well-known waste prince, and he had nothing to fish. In addition, he was brought over by Prince Xian, so he has to look at the face of the Buddha without looking at the monk's face. At the moment, he laughed dryly twice, and said: "The queen mother is in the warm pavilion, Your Royal Highness the Eighth, Your Highness the Fourteenth, Miss Ling, please go this way." "Lead the way.

Walking into the Kunning Palace, along the corridor, zigzag and walked for a long time, and entered a warm pavilion. As soon as I crossed the threshold, I saw a large character hanging on the opposite wall. It reads: "The high gate leans on what hope, the emperor's spirit is out of the ninefold; the wind and clouds are changing, and all generations embrace the mountains and rivers." The handwriting is beautiful, but the words are like swords and halberds, which appear to be sharp, and between the lines, they are full of ambition.

Underneath the letter, there is a warm bed, and there are several cases in front of it. The desk is full of folds. On top of the warm bed, there is a richly dressed lady, holding a red pen, reviewing and revising. Several eunuchs, who belonged to the celebrant eunuchs, stood and waited beside them.

Needless to say, this noble lady is the current queen. Xiao Sheng glanced over and saw that this most powerful woman today was only about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with warm and fair skin, even the finest mutton fat and beautiful jade could not be compared. Beauty is born and can be called a country and a city. The temperament is both noble and solemn. It is in line with her mother's identity in the world.

Gonggong Liu took the lead in kneeling down to the queen and saluted, and said respectfully: "The slave and maid knock to see the queen's mother, the mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old." Yu Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Eighth, His Highness the Fourteenth, and the folk woman Ling Ziling brought it. ”

Xiao Sheng sighed secretly, knelt down on one knee with Prince Xian, and said in unison: "The son sees the queen mother." The queen mother is in good health. ”

Xiao Sheng and Prince Xian are not the queen's biological sons. But the queen, as the wife of Emperor Xuan, who was the son of the Dahao Dynasty today, is nominally the mother of all princes. Therefore, Xiao Sheng and Prince Xian have to call themselves sons and daughters in front of the queen. But after all, as a prince, you only need to kneel down on one knee and salute, and you don't need to kowtow.

On the other hand, although Ling Ziling also has a blood relationship with Emperor Xuan, this relationship is not visible at all, and it is not recognized by anyone. So nominally, she has nothing to do with the Dahao royal family, but is just a folk woman. Therefore, Ling Ziling could only kneel obediently and kowtow.

"Oh, it's the Eighth Emperor and the Fourteenth Emperor. Get up, no need to be polite. ”

The queen put down the red pen in her hand, raised her head, and raised her eyes to look around at everyone present. She is angry, not angry and self-assured. Looking forward to it, the straight church shuddered.

In an instant, this cold gaze was impressively focused on Ling Ziling. Although Ling Ziling just looked down at the bricks in front of her and couldn't see the queen's gaze, she also subconsciously felt chills all over her body, and couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Seeing Ling Ziling's reaction, the queen couldn't help but snort softly. But in her voice, I couldn't tell whether she was happy or angry. I only heard the queen ask: "You are the remnant of Lingzong, the daughter of Lingzhiling?"

Ling Ziling gritted her teeth hard and cheered herself up. He said in a low voice: "The folk girl is." ”

The queen said lightly: "Okay." That being the case, then...... Why don't you kill yourself quickly, what do you want to wait for?"

It's been a change for a few days in a row, and I'm really embarrassed. There is no way, there are many things to celebrate during the holidays. Well, the Mid-Autumn Festival has finally passed. Tomorrow will start to return to normal two shifts.

By the way, today's Mid-Autumn Festival, then, 12 here I wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, a reunion of people and months, a healthy family, and happiness :)
