Chapter 61: Who's in Charge?
The palace is in the palace, the queen entertains the wives of various ministers and nobles, and the family members and children are also in the side hall of the palace, headed by the crown prince Li Chengqian.
But the crown prince Li Chengqian is only nine years old, and the children of other families are not big, the oldest is Cheng Huaimo of Cheng Bingjin's family who is twenty years old, and he has been sent by his father to enter the army for training, so he didn't want to come, but this year is the best time to participate, the purpose is to bring the second brother Cheng Huailiang who came for the first time.
Except for Cheng Huaimo, the oldest is really Xiao Rui. Even if he does not have the identity of Xiangcheng Quasi-Horse, with the name of the prince of Song Guo, Xiao Rui is also eligible to participate.
But the problem is that this time it is not only the sons and daughters of the nobles who participate, but also the royal family.
Xiao Rui didn't want to mix with a group of little boys, let alone such a chaotic scene.
Sure enough, as soon as I entered the door of the side hall, I saw a dramatic scene, the prince Li Chengqian was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and there were all sycophants around him.
Xiao Rui is one head and two years old, and the prince is only nine years old, can you understand your sycophants? No, you little guys, the big fifteen or sixteen, the little eleven or twelve, are all so positive? Learned to flatter at a young age?
"Big brother, are you here? Come in and come in, and I heard my father say that you will eat with us, and I have been waiting for you for a long time. As soon as Xiao Rui entered the door, Xiao Changle ran out, took his hand and walked into the crowd.
"Let's let go, let me go, brother prince, brother-in-law is here, brother-in-law is here......" Xiao Changle shouted at the crown prince Li Chengqian.
Everyone turned around, everyone treated the six-year-old Xiao Changle as a little doll, and didn't take it seriously, although no one dared to offend, but no one cared. Who did the heart say, and introduced it to the prince?
But there was a person in the crowd, and after seeing Xiao Rui, his little face turned white in an instant - Changsun Chong, who was repaired by Xiao Rui to create a psychological shadow.
Prince Li Chengqian's eyes changed slightly, but he quickly pretended to be nothing, walked out of his seat with a smile, and walked towards Xiao Rui.
"Is it Xiao Yushi? The Lone King has long wanted to get acquainted. ”
Well? Xiao Yushi? The Lone King?
Xiao Rui looked at Li Chengqian, who was as old-fashioned as a little adult in front of him, and laughed directly, and couldn't help but reach out and rub the other party's head: "You're only nine years old, right?" Don't learn to be a serious adult, it's not fun to be a Zhengtai. Relax, tonight is all about eating, drinking, and having fun. ”
"Presumptuous! Who are you? How dare you talk to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like this? Is the hair of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince something you can touch? "General Zuo Xiaowei, the eldest son of Sun Shunde, the eldest son of Xue Guogong, and the eldest grandson Jiaxing stood up and scolded loudly.
A group of boys followed and glared at Xiao Rui angrily, but Cheng Huaimo looked at Xiao Rui with doubts on his face, and stood in an inconspicuous place with his younger brother, but the eldest grandson Chong stretched out his hand and pulled Changsun Jiaxing, and whispered: "Uncle, don't talk about it......"
The eldest grandson Shunde is the uncle of the eldest grandson Wuji, so the eldest grandson Jiaxing is also a generation higher than the eldest grandson Chong.
Seeing the performance of the eldest grandson, the eldest grandson Jiaxing shook off his hand and said dissatisfiedly: "Xiao Chong, you are the prince of Qi and the prince's cousin, at this time, you should stand up for the prince." ”
Coming out? Changsun Chong glanced at Xiao Rui cautiously, the other party seemed to be smiling, but looking at Changsun Chong's eyes, that was the eyes that could kill, great horror! Terrible!
"Hey, what do you want to do? Want to bully Big Brother? This is my future brother-in-law. No one is allowed to bully him. Xiao Changle angrily protected Xiao Rui behind him.
At this time, Princess Xiangcheng was visiting the princesses and princesses of the palace with her mother because of her age, so Xiao Rui's acquaintance was only Xiao Changle.
How could Xiao Rui be protected by a child?
Stretched out his hand to pull Xiao Changle aside, turned his head to look at the eldest grandson Shunde and said with a smile: "You let the eldest grandson Chong stand out for the prince?" Hehe, do you dare to ask him? Changsun Chong, everyone here doesn't seem to know me, why don't you help introduce me and tell them what my name is. ”
Well? I......
"What? Disobedient? Xiao Rui raised his eyebrows, and the eldest grandson almost sat on the ground in fright.
The eldest grandson Chong hurriedly said: "He is Xiao Rui, the eldest son of Xiao Yu, the Duke of Song. ”
After saying that, he hid at the farthest table as if he was running away, which means that everything has nothing to do with me, don't climb me.
Who? Xiao Rui? Who is Xiao Rui?
Many people don't recognize it, because they are all children, and they are usually managed by their families, so where do they know about the officialdom of Chang'an City.
But one-third of the children had heard of Xiao Rui's name, so they all withdrew from the confrontation and slowly moved towards the table of the eldest grandson.
Cheng Huailiang asked his eldest brother Cheng Huaimo in a puzzled whisper, "Big brother, who is Xiao Rui?" Why are so many people afraid of him? He even dared to ...... the crown prince"
Cheng Huaimo covered his younger brother's mouth and whispered: "He is Xiao Xian's nephew in Daddy's mouth." ”
What?
Cheng Huailiang exclaimed, interrupting the short silence, everyone looked at the two, Cheng Huaimo hurriedly came out of the round, and said with a smile: "Don't get me wrong, my brother is choking on eating." His Royal Highness the Prince, I'll take him to drink some syrup. Brother Xiao, I am Huaimo, this is my younger brother Huailiang, my father Su Guogong often mentions you, if the eldest brother is free, he often goes to my house to play. ”
Su Guogong?
Xiao Rui heard it, haha, isn't that the child of Cheng Biting Jin's family? Yes, the two boys are good, and they know that they are their own people.
Stretched out his hand and rubbed the brains of the two, forgetting that he was not as old as Cheng Huaimo, and smiled gently: "Okay, take Huailiang to drink some sour syrup Shunshun, and come over to eat with my brother later." ”
The two left in a hurry in the eyes of the crown prince Li Chengqian with anger.
Cheng Huailiang whispered: "Big brother, why does he like to rub people's heads so much? ”
"Don't say it, Brother Xiao even rubs the prince's head casually, what is your head? Be careful and wait for a beating. "Cheng Huaimo is still sensible.
Xiao Rui turned his head and saw the anger in Li Chengqian's eyes, and sighed in his heart, okay, he is not very old, his temper is not small, just this little open-minded?
"Didn't you say that tonight is the New Year's feast? Why don't you have a feast? Aren't you hungry? Xiao Rui asked.
On Li Chengqian's side, all the children, big and small, turned their heads to look at him, and Li Chengqian said dissatisfiedly: "Xiao Yushi, when you see the lonely king, haven't you even forgotten the etiquette?" ”
Xiao Rui pulled Xiao Changle over and whispered a few words in her ear, and then Xiao Changle ran out quickly.
Without Xiao Changle's protection, the arrogance of Li Chengqian's little followers has increased a little more.
Xiao Rui walked forward step by step with a smile, looking like a smiling tiger, Li Chengqian scolded weakly: "Presumptuous, what do you want to do?" Someone ...... coming."
The guards outside the door heard the shouting and rushed in.
Xiao Rui turned around and said coldly: "Stand down!" I'm waiting for a banquet with the prince, so do you have to wait for a lot of things? ”
The guards saw that it was Xiao Rui, you look at me, I look at you, and stood hesitantly.
Li Chengqian smiled proudly: "Xiao Yushi, although you are famous, but this is the palace, they are palace guards, and they will not listen to you." ”
Xiao Rui smiled, turned around and asked, "Really?" Why don't the prince ask them who has the final say here today? ”
Li Chengqian was puzzled and looked at a group of guards.
I saw the guards confess to the prince, and they all bowed their heads and retreated.
Li Chengqian's face turned red with anger, and a group of puppy legs were also very puzzled, why couldn't the prince command the palace guards?
