Shao Xi walked through the bookshelves with apprehension to the bookshelf where Xiao Yuzhan was, and saw that he was still standing on the wooden ladder, and immediately felt a lot more relieved.

However, looking at the wooden box that was broken open on the ground and the calligraphy and rubbings scattered all over the ground, I was also taken aback.

It seems that Xiao Yuzhan accidentally didn't hold it steady just now, and dropped the wooden box in his hand to the ground, which scattered the contents inside.

I hope there is no damage, otherwise, even if it is Xiao Yuzhan's mistake, I am afraid that he will have to bear some responsibility.

Xiao Yuzhan jumped back to the ground from the wooden ladder three times and two times, and while cleaning up the calligraphy and rubbings scattered on the ground, he beckoned Shao Xi to come over to help.

Shao Xi shook his head helplessly, and said in his heart that this little prince was really careless, if he was so careless, if he really damaged Xiao Yuming's books, although Xiao Yuming would not turn his face with him, he would have to complain to him.

It is not an ordinary thing to damage the prince's beloved thing after all, and it can be seen that Xiao Yuzhan is also nervous, and it seems that he also understands that he is in trouble.

While carefully cleaning up the scattered pages on the ground, he whispered to Shao Xi: "It's okay, it's okay!" The calligraphy and rubbings were not damaged, and they were all right when they were cleaned up.

"Don't let the royal brother know about this matter, otherwise he will be distressed to death, and he won't let me read the book in the future, you must not mention this matter to the imperial brother, please, please!"

Shao Xi muttered in his heart, "Are you stupid for me?" I'm afraid you'll talk about it with a big mouth! As long as there is no damage, it is best to sneak around and pack it up only if it never happened.

When the two were cleaning up, they heard a eunuch come from outside the study to report.

"Tell His Royal Highness King Cheng, Yu Ji, the head of the household department, came to ask to see His Royal Highness the Prince, and the servant has informed Lord Yu that His Royal Highness the Prince is discussing with the adults of the Ministry of Works, but Lord Yu said that there is an urgent matter to inform His Royal Highness the Prince, and he wants to wait for His Royal Highness the Prince to return in the study, how should His Royal Highness King Cheng's servants reply?"

Xiao Yuzhan was already very nervous at this time, and he was even more panicked when he was called by the eunuch.

So he shouted angrily outside: "Won't you let him go directly to my imperial brother?" What do you do when you run to the study? ”

The eunuch outside was obviously frightened by Xiao Yuzhan's tone, and replied in a panic: "The slave told Lord Yu the same, but Lord Yu said that this matter could only be discussed with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince alone, and it was not convenient in front of other people, so he came to the study to wait for His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Shao Xi listened to the puzzle in his heart for a while, this Yu Ji was scared by himself and Xiao Changyi in the imperial study, and it is said that there should be no problem in allocating silver money to the Ministry of Industry to build a warship.

What is he coming to Xiao Yuming for? Listening to Xiao Yuzhan, Xiao Yuming is indeed in charge of the construction of the warship at the moment, and he is discussing this matter with the officials of the Ministry of Industry at this time.

If Yu Ji is looking for Xiao Yuming to talk about the transfer of silver, there is no need to carry the people of the Ministry of Industry behind his back! Taking advantage of this moment, didn't Xiao Yuming and the officials of the Ministry of Industry just happen to discuss this matter?

Why did he come to see Xiao Yuming alone? Could it be that the matter he asked Xiao Yuming to discuss has nothing to do with the Ministry of Industry? So what could it be?

If it wasn't about building a warship, it was probably about Fengyang County, why did he ask Xiao Yuming to discuss the matter of Fengyang County? Could it be that the matter of Fengyang County is still related to Xiao Yuming? That's a bit of a!

Then there is only one possibility, Yu Ji is afraid that the affairs of Fengyang County will really find out to him in the future, and he wants to find Xiao Yuming to protect himself, but why does Xiao Yuming want to protect him? What is the relationship between him and Xiao Yuming? Could it be that this Yu Ji is the prince's faction?

However, everyone in the court and China knows that although the crown prince has contacts with officials at all levels in handling government affairs, he has never heard of any official who is too close to him.

So what did Yu Ji, the head of the household, come to him when something happened?

Just when Shao Xi was doubting in his heart, he saw Xiao Yuzhan standing up impatiently and walking quickly to the door of the study.

Shao Xi didn't go out, but continued to clean up the scattered books on the ground.

I heard Xiao Yuzhan open the door of the study and shouted to the eunuch outside: "What inconvenient thing does he have to talk to my imperial brother alone behind everyone's back?" Doesn't he know that my imperial brother never meets with officials in private? How could my royal brother's study be entered if they said they could enter? If he wants to wait, let him go to the garden and wait, and don't disturb my reading here. ”

Xiao Yuzhan shouted like this, which frightened the eunuch outside the door.

Hurriedly replied tremblingly: "The slave understands! The servant then went to send him away, only to tell him that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not receive him privately, and if he had to wait, let him wait in the garden, and let him leave when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returned. ”

"This kind of thing still has to ask me, how do you slaves do things for the imperial brother? If there is such a thing in the future, they will be sent away, and don't bother us again. ”

"The minion understands, the minion is going to send him away, please let His Highness calm his anger."

After the eunuch responded, he left in a panic, apparently choking on Xiao Yuzhan.

By the time Xiao Yuzhan returned to the bookshelf, Shao Xi had neatly put the calligraphy and rubbings scattered on the ground into the wooden box.

Xiao Yuzhan took the wooden box, secretly shrunk his neck, and stuck out his tongue.

said to Shao Xi with a mischievous face: "I was really scared half to death by them, I thought it was my imperial brother who came back, but fortunately it's okay!" Hurry up and put it away, but the royal brother can't know that I dropped his book, or he will nag me for days. ”

Shao Xi glanced at Xiao Yuzhan meaningfully, and said to him with a smile: "It turns out that you started the fire so badly, I think that father-in-law is almost scared to death by you, and he doesn't even dare to come out." ”

Xiao Yuzhan shook his head a little funny, and complained, "I'm still scaring him? I was scared to death by him! Knowing that my imperial brother doesn't meet officials privately on weekdays, he still has to come to me and ask me, isn't this an extra move? I almost got into trouble just now, how can I be in the mood to talk to them kindly? ”

Shao Xi was made to cry and laugh by the big child in front of him, like an adult when he was serious, but this nonsense is really an out-and-out naughty child.

Although he grew up in the royal court, Xiao Yuzhan looks extremely simple, perhaps because he has never been in contact with the circle of power, so there are no such deceitful things in his heart.

Watching Xiao Yuzhan quickly climb the wooden ladder and put the wooden box back on the bookshelf, Shao Xi was afraid that he would accidentally fall down again, so he stared at him a little nervously beside him.

Xiao Yuzhan put the wooden box away, looked down at Shao Xi, and actually narrowed his eyes and grinned.

"Brother Shao, don't be so nervous, I just didn't hold it firmly and dropped the box, I climbed this ladder from childhood to adulthood, don't worry! I won't fall, and seeing that your nervous appearance is somewhat similar to my imperial brother, don't always think of me as a child. ”

People are like this, when they are young, they refuse to admit that they are a child, and when they are old, they don't admit that they are old, and they are always unwilling to let others feel that they are a burden, even the little prince in front of him is no exception.

Shao Xi thinks that there is nothing wrong with this, if a person loses his heart one day and willingly admits that he is inferior to others, then he will have no fighting spirit, and a person without fighting spirit will live a rather boring life.

Looking at Xiao Yuzhan's strong appearance in front of him, Shao Xi felt very good.

After putting the box away, Xiao Yuzhan jumped directly to the ground from the wooden ladder, as if boys especially like to jump down from a high place, Shao Xi remembered that he was like this when he was a child.

The two came to the bookcase again with a smile, and Xiao Yuzhan said to Shao Xi with some apologies: "I'm sorry! Brother Shao, I originally wanted to show you the authentic works of those famous calligraphers collected by my imperial brother, but unfortunately I just made a mess of it, and today you are afraid that you will not be able to see it, and I will let the imperial brother take it out for you to appreciate when I have a chance in the future. ”

Shao Xi smiled and waved his hand and said: "Originally, I didn't know what to appreciate, and today I just thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince might be in the mood to practice calligraphy, I am not proficient in calligraphy, and it is a waste of time to show me the authentic works of those famous masters." ”

Xiao Yuzhan smiled at Shao Xi, suddenly changed his words, and asked Shao Xi: "Brother Shao, you are well-informed, have you ever heard of a weapon called Thor in this world?" ”

"Thor?"

When Shao Xi heard these two words, he immediately thought of the nickname he left in the Grassland Toth Department, and almost the entire grassland regarded him as the thunder god of the Toth Department.

I've been depressed for a while, is Thor a good name? Because of this nickname, he was almost scorched by the Zhuo Ligetu family, and he almost became their child's aunt.

However, at this time, Shao Xi felt strange, how could Xiao Yuzhan suddenly ask him about a weapon called Thor?

Since it is said to be a weapon, it will naturally remind Shao Xi of the flying thunder cannon he built in the war between the Thoth Department and the Mao'an Department back then.

It is said that this thing was only used on the grassland ten years ago, why was it asked by a prince in the East Palace of the Jingyuan Empire eleven years later? Could it be that the thing he made back then was already known to the people of the Central Plains?

But since that time, those wooden barrels wrapped in cowhide have been stored in the Tote Department, not to mention using them, even if they are seen, they have never been seen by outsiders, why does even Xiao Yuzhan know about this thing now?

Could it be that someone heard the story of his time on the grassland when he traveled from the Central Plains? But it was like a legend to many people, and almost no one believed it.

Why did such a thing that had become a legend attract the attention of the children of the Jingyuan royal family?

"Your Royal Highness King Cheng, where did you hear about the weapon called Thor? How come I've never heard of it? What does that thing look like? ”
