"Do you think the emperor will not be able to see your ambition? Do you think the prince will really be defenseless? This is not so much a test of the prince as a test of you. ”

King Cheng froze for a moment when he heard this, and the smugness on his face instantly receded like a tide, replaced by indifference and worry, because he understood the meaning of Han Xiaoxiao's words.

Han Xiaoxiao still looked at him, without the slightest explanation or relaxation.

Hu Hua looked at the two of them a little embarrassed, and hurriedly stepped forward to ease the atmosphere: "Don't worry about it first, this matter can be discussed slowly, after all, the emperor and the crown prince have indeed been absent from the capital for a long time." ”

He Sifeng nodded and echoed: "We can't go too far as His Royal Highness King Cheng said, and we can't do nothing, as long as we grasp the middle degree, even if the emperor knows, it won't be anything." ”

After some explanations by the two of them, King Cheng's face was obviously much better, although he was not as happy as before, but his face was no longer stiff, and he asked lightly: "According to what you said, it is inconvenient for me to make a move for the time being, why don't you think about who is suitable?"

A bleak autumn wind blew, and Hu Hua shivered, "It's really hard to say, but my family shouldn't be able to help much, now the prince's side is full of civil officials, and there is a prime minister guarding there, I'm afraid that even a few more people won't be able to get benefits." ”

Han Xiaoxiao's fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a gurgling sound, and several people stopped talking and looked at her quietly.

It took a long time for Han Xiaoxiao to stop what he was doing, "Lord Lin Hai can help, there are still a lot of civil officials in the court, as long as we can get their support, it is not considered to be robbing people in the hands of the prince, so that our power has expanded, not to mention, even the emperor can't say anything." ”

Before King Cheng's eyes lit up and he didn't have time to say anything, he heard a burst of footsteps outside the courtyard, and the voice of the embroidered girl came in: "What are you doing with the door closed at this time?"

Han Xiaoxiao's face changed, and before she had time to stop it, she saw the embroidery girl walking in slowly, but fortunately, the weather has turned cold recently, and the embroidery girl is pregnant and has added a lot of clothes, and at this time there is no trace of pregnancy.

He Sifeng breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and looked at the somewhat embarrassed King Cheng Jiewei and said, "Today, a few of us have something to discuss, if you are not in a hurry, just wait in the guest room, I think it won't be too long." ”

Xiuniang saw that King Cheng subconsciously wanted to protect her belly, but thinking that the news of her miscarriage had spread, she hurriedly put down her hand, smiled curtly, and agreed to leave.

Han Xiaoxiao was really bored with King Cheng, arched his hand and said coldly: "Xiuniang has been in poor health recently, I really can't rest assured, so I won't accompany His Highness to discuss, and I will leave first." ”

After speaking, she didn't wait for King Cheng's reaction, she walked out, Xiuniang was still a little worried about whether King Cheng would be angry because of this matter, and hesitated to go out, Han Xiaoxiao looked at her and felt even more bored, and unceremoniously pulled her sleeve and closed the door of the courtyard.

King Cheng looked at the door that was slammed shut, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said casually: "It seems that the little girl is still angry with me about the embroidery girl, and in the end, I can't live with the embroidery girl." ”

Although He Sifeng agreed with him very much, King Cheng was still the master after all, and he still couldn't show it on his face, so he smiled wryly even if it was revealed.

Hu Hua was even more inappropriate to speak at this time, lowering his head and pretending not to hear anything.

King Cheng gave up when he couldn't talk about any news, "That's it, I still have to deal with those officials, so I'll leave today, as for Lord Lin Hai, I'll ask Master Hu to go, it's not convenient for me to go at this time." ”

Hu Hua agreed, and sent King Cheng away, He Sifeng stood up slightly and sat down, looking at the backs of the two people leaving thoughtfully.

A few people have their own things to do, and the time has passed much faster, and by the time Han Xiaoxiao remembered these things, it was already four days later.

It was still Xiuniang who reminded her not to stay in the courtyard all the time, and then she remembered the prince's departure from Beijing, and asked a little confused: "He Sifeng, how are they over there?" I don't seem to have seen them for several days. ”

The embroidery lady reluctantly took out the embroidery needle from Han Xiaoxiao's hand, and sighed before she spoke: "You are either embroidering or weaving cloth these days, even if a few of them come back, you can't see it, today is the day when the saint and the prince go out of Beijing, why don't you go and have a look?"

Han Xiaoxiao still looked lacking in interest, looked at the sky and said lazily: "I just entered the capital and thought that King Cheng was a virtuous monarch in the book, but I didn't expect that there was not much difference between him and the crown prince, they are both people who compete for power and profit, the only good thing is that he will not be so unscrupulous, but I am still bored when I look at it." ”

Xiuniang has lived for so many years, the good people have not seen much, but the bad people have seen more, and she shook her head helplessly before saying: "Kings have been like this since ancient times, you can't expect a person who has no power and scheming to be a king, if that's the case, the country won't last long." ”

Han Xiaoxiao understood this truth, but she felt bored when she looked at King Cheng's eagerness for quick success, and it was really difficult to be interested in these things.

"I just don't understand, people have to live until they die, why can't everyone get along peacefully?

The early autumn sun shone on the two of them, and Han Xiaoxin snorted as he spoke, lazily lying on the table and not moving.

The embroidery lady twisted the mandarin duck embroidery pattern that had been formed in her hand, and said earnestly: "But there is a difference between high and low in life, who doesn't want to live better, it's all about desire, we are just mortals after all, and you immortals are different." ”

Han Xiaoxiao smashed his mouth and felt a little dry, but he didn't want to move when he looked at the teacup close at hand, and finally just shook it like a cold war and didn't move.

"In fact, immortals are also very boring, although they don't fight for power and profit, but everyone is arrogant, except for the Emperor of Heaven, I have never seen an immortal who is not arrogant. ”

Xiuniang looked at her and shivered for a while, thinking that she was cold, so she put the cloak she was wearing on her and answered lightly: "Everything has a cause and effect, and the immortal is high because he is different from others, and the emperor is not high because he has experienced some suffering." ”
