Xiao Hao's eyes were full of jealous anger.

In this assessment, it was obvious that he had won the first place in iron-making, but his father only praised him a few words at will.

On the contrary, Xiao Jiuxi, who had not made much achievements, was favored by his father again, and was secretly summoned by his father, and even let him stay in Dingkun Palace for three days and three nights!

As the eldest son, he has been running hard in the direction of his father since he was a child, dreaming of one day becoming a man who stands up to the sky and takes on great undertakings like his father.

For this goal, he has not relaxed for a moment all these years! Whether it is the way of governing the country or the art of cavalry and archery, no one dares to call him the second, and even the Taifu praises him for his diligence and makes him ashamed.

However, no matter how hard he tried, his father would never see him.

Isn't this guy in front of him just good-looking and sweet-mouthed!

A flattering straw bale!

It's ridiculous that my father still regards it as a rare treasure!

The more Xiao Hui thought about it, the more resentful he became, and glared at him in disgust: "Don't be too arrogant, relying on unpopular means to please your father will not last long after all, and when your father finds out about that little bit of in Tai Qi Zhou one day, you will be cleaned up like garbage." ”

Xiao Jiuxi smiled slightly: "The Third Emperor Brother is quite clear about the affairs of my Taiqizhou, could it be that there are still people from the Three Emperor Brothers in Taiqizhou?" ”

Xiao Yan tugged at the corners of his mouth disdainfully: "I still can't look down on your place, don't use this kind of insidious thinking to speculate on me." ”

Xiao Jiuxi sneered: "It would be good if the Third Emperor Brother was really the same on the outside." ”

"What do you mean!" Xiao Xu was enraged by Xiao Jiuxi, and grabbed his collar like a chicken: "Xiao Jiuxi, you don't yin and yang me here, I will know what you said to my father sooner or later, if there is anything related to me, I will definitely kill you." ”

Obviously, Xiao Hui thought that Xiao Jiuxi went to Dingkun Palace to make a small report.

"I'm telling you, that position is mine, and no one else wants to get it!"

Xiao Hui was so excited that his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was full of cruelty.

"If you want to get it, who is stopping you!" Xiao Jiuxi finally couldn't help it, and also made a calm voice with a dark face: "Is it interesting to be like a childish boy who is messing around for candy?" I don't have the ability to rob and I'm worried about being robbed by others, heh, what's the use of attacking others, you rush to send candy people, do you still expect others to snatch the candy for you? ”

"Don't give me some stealing concepts, I will use my strength to prove to my father who is the one who can really be useful, you don't have a villain."

Just as the two were pulling, another person hurried over.

Seeing that the two were about to scuffle together, he frowned and stepped forward to separate the two.

"Brother Three, Brother Five, what are you doing! This is Dingkun Palace, if you let your father know, you should be punished. ”

The person who came was none other than Xiao Heng, the fourth prince.

Among these princes and princesses, he is the most virtuous, the most well-behaved, and the most honest.

Seeing the two of them pushing and fighting in front of Dingkun Palace, he only felt that it was dark in front of him.

Fortunately, the Zhu Gate of Dingkun Palace is closed, and if the father and emperor just come out, it will be over.

In Xiao Hui's eyes, if Xiao Jiuxi is a clever traitor who makes people annoying and despised, then Xiao Heng is the real person who makes people jealous.

It's good that Xiao Jiuxi just likes his father, but Xiao Heng is appreciated by the cabinet ministers.

If you want to say which of the two of them is their biggest rival, it is undoubtedly ...... The fourth Xiao Heng.

However, Xiao Heng is different from Xiao Jiuxi, Xiao Heng's strength is comparable to Xiao Hao, and he is even slightly stronger than him in governing the world.

Therefore, Xiao Hui dared to shout directly with Xiao Jiuxi, but he did not dare to face the conflict with Xiao Heng.

Moreover, Xiao Heng and Xiao Jiuxi got closer, one hit two, and obviously fell behind.

In the end, it is at the gate of Dingkun Palace, if there is a way for the two of them here, it will be more than worth the loss.

Xiao Heng didn't speak, shook off Xiao Jiuxi's sleeves and left.

Xiao Jiuxi was knocked down and stumbled a few steps before he stabilized his figure, he glanced at Xiao Hui who was walking away speechlessly and couldn't help complaining: "This guy is really a stinky temper for ten years, no wonder the cabinet ministers don't look down on him!" I can't look down on it, I can't afford to play with my temper at every turn, it's so difficult to serve, who likes to serve. ”

Anyway, it's all part-time jobs, so it's better to find a gentler boss than to find someone who is tyrannical if you don't agree, right?

It's no wonder that the cabinet ministers support the Four Emperor Brothers!

Xiao Jiuxi felt that after he died once, his brain was clearer and he was more able to see the truth behind the matter.

The spit is getting more and more to the point.

"You, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Xiao Heng shook his head helplessly and looked at him again.

Xiao Jiuxi's clothes were a little embarrassed, and he thought that he was pulled and pushed by the three emperor brothers just now.

Xiao Heng spoke earnestly while helping him sort out his clothes.

"It's because you can't control your words and deeds that you are often caught and teased by the Three Emperor Brothers."

"He's not a joke, he's a threat and a threat, he's almost more fierce than the bandits in Taiqizhou."

Xiao Jiuxi was not convinced.

Xiao Heng looked at Xiao Jiuxi with a smile and complained, and patted him on the shoulder after a while: "Look at your dark circles, haven't you slept in Dingkun Palace?" ”

Xiao Jiuxi said vaguely: "Hey, it's all bitter, and the book is hated less when it is used, who can understand my distress."

Not to mention, I was punished by my father for copying books, and I didn't close my eyes for three days and three nights, and I was going back to sleep. ”

Xiao Heng glanced at him with some pity: "I'm afraid, you won't be able to sleep well when you go back." ”

"Why?"

"You'll find out when you get back." Xiao Heng replied with a little mystery.

？？？？？

Xiao Jiuxi rushed back to the house with doubts, and soon knew what the fourth emperor brother meant.

Speaking of which, the three princes have been assigned to different fiefdoms to govern the world since they became adults, and they only return to Beijing to report on their work in the middle and end of each year.

Emperor Wuhou arranged a palace for them in Beijing.

The mountain king's mansion, the Liangwang mansion, the palace of the king, the three mansions are connected together, and the courtyard is still interconnected.

Of course, Emperor Wuhou meant that he didn't want the princes to have a share because they went their own way.

However, the courtyard of the Mountain King's Mansion has always been tightly managed, and people outside the Mountain King's Mansion cannot enter and leave at will.

The Emperor's hard work did not work for him at all.

Xiao Heng listened to the emperor's words very much, and although he couldn't enter the Mountain King's Mansion, he maintained close and friendly contacts with the King of Qi's Mansion.

The day before yesterday, not long after Xiao Jiuxi entered the palace, Father-in-law Qian came back, and he also brought back more than 100 sheep.

It is said that these sheep were sent by the little lady of the king.

Father-in-law Qian seemed to have a headache with these sheep, so he hurriedly put the sheep down and left, and it didn't matter if he didn't see Xiao Jiuxi.

The reason why Xiao Heng knew so clearly was because a sheep ran into his yard yesterday and almost brought disaster to the precious flowers and plants he had brought from the fiefdom.

Xiao Heng followed the source and found the origin of the sheep.

When he came over, Xiao Jiuxi's yard had been messed up by more than 100 sheep.

Flowers and plants, what can be eaten and what can't be eaten, all have been devoured.
