After teaching for so many years, it is not an exaggeration to say that he understands Gao Zongxian deeper than Gao Sheng's father.

He instantly sensed that something was wrong, and soon learned from his cronies in the East Palace that this ploy came from a eunuch named "Xiao Xian".

No one could have imagined how mixed his mood was at that time.

On the one hand, he was angry at Gao Zongxian's detention of Xiao Xian.

On the other hand, it is a surprise for Xiao Xian-

Not only did he dare to threaten the prince to save his life without knowing his identity, but he was also able to have such insight into the national policy!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what you snatched back then, the old man will teach you to return it a thousand times sooner or later!"

After that, Xiao Zhengguo put the jade pendant back.

"Come on, bring the recent decrees of Da Chu and the local situation to the prime minister!"

He wants to plan for the future of the Chu State.

Plan for his grandson!

……

And on the other side, in the East Palace.

After knowing the relationship between Xiao Xian and Xiao Zhengguo, Gao Zongxian's attitude directly changed dramatically.

directly ordered someone to get a chair and sit on an equal footing with Xiao Xian.

"Brother Xiao Xian, didn't you say that you were a teacher, where are you going to suffer these sins all these years?"

"Before, I only verbally promised you to be the head of housekeeping, just now I have ordered someone to make clothes for you, and before tomorrow, you will be the veritable head of housekeeping in my East Palace!"

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Xiao Xian nodded slightly, feeling the transformation of Gao Zongxian's attitude, he said that it was very useful, and at the same time, his heart was also at peace.

After all, with Grandpa Xiao's orders, presumably this Gao Zongxian didn't dare to do anything to himself easily.

It's just that......

Xiao Xian recalls the scene when Xiao Zhengguo left.

"Why do I always feel that Grandpa Xiao's instructions have other meanings?"

No matter what you think in your heart, it's always a good thing to be safe at this moment.

Xiao Xian made up his mind, picked up the teacup and took a sip, judging the current situation while dealing with Gao Zongxian.

Gao Zongxian is infertile, and it is known that in order to keep the crown prince's throne, he needs to borrow his own hand to impregnate the crown princess.

The difference is that before, I was worried about whether Gao Zongxian would kill him after the crown princess became pregnant, but now with the support of the princess, Gao Zongxian must not be so impulsive.

After all, Taishi, as the left minister, is in a pivotal position among the hundred officials of Great Chu.

At the same time, he was also born in the Xiao family of the thirteen families, and his support was very important to Gao Zongxian.

“……”

"Although Lone is proficient in the method of battle formation, he really has no understanding of the national policy, and he will rely on Brother Xiao more in the future!"

"Your Highness, the minion ......"

"Brother Xiao doesn't have to be presumptuous, the teacher represents the interests of the family, and it is enough to make me happy to be able to let you help me in secret."

"The identity of the eunuch is just a cover-up, in the future, when there is no one, you and I will be commensurate with each other, and we only need to be called ministers outside, otherwise wouldn't it be a sweep of the teacher's face?"

"Then please ask Your Highness to trespass."

Xiao Xian was respectful on the surface, but his heart was about to fly to the sky.

He is just a fake eunuch, and it is exciting enough to be able to replace the crown prince and the princess, and now the prince has surrendered his identity.

Think about it, you are an employee of a family business, your chairman is infertile, he finds you to impregnate his wife, and he has to consult you after the company's decision-making.

Even in order to pull in the relationship with you, he is still short with your brother in private.

What could be cooler than that!

"It's okay." Gao Zongxian said with a smile, "Brother Xiao is very courageous, and he is even more talented, and if he ascends the throne in the future, he will need a lot of assistance from Brother Xiao." ”

"That's nature."

Xiao Xian nodded, and in his heart, he had a deeper understanding of the thickness of Gao Zongxian's face.

He can still understand and be brave when he has a big heart?

Do you want to praise me for my courage in holding your wife hostage?

Thinking like this, Xiao Xian's defense of Gao Zongxian has deepened, and people who can be so forbearant for the sake of their status, even if they don't seem to know about government affairs, they must also be on guard!

After all, Grandpa Xiao still has the relationship between North Korea and China and the family to rely on, but what about himself?

With mixed feelings, Xiao Xian couldn't help but look out the window, but saw an eager figure from far and near.

"I'm tired of reporting it, I need to tell Your Highness about something urgent."

Listening to the voice, it was Mu Qingfeng who was speaking.

"Let him in."

Gao Zongxian also heard it, and directly ordered someone to bring Mu Qingfeng over.

"Your Highness...... I've seen Grandpa Xiao. ”

Seeing that Xiao Xian was also there, Mu Qingfeng was only surprised for a moment before greeting naturally.

Xiao Xian nodded to show friendship, and then listened to Gao Zongxian's one-handed support: "Aiqing is exempt, but what is the important thing to inform?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, there are Baiyue envoys in the court today who sent a letter of worship, claiming that they will come to pay tribute to my Dachu in seven days."

"Baiyue?"

Xiao Xian said softly, if he remembers correctly, except for the founding of the Great Chu State, Baiyue took the initiative to pay tribute for the first time in these years.

Coupled with the frequent activities of Beidi recently, he can't help but feel strange.

Looking at Gao Xianzong again, he also frowned, but he still spoke: "What did my father say?" ”

"They claimed to be willing to become vassals of Great Chu and help Great Chu attack Beidi. His Majesty was very happy and said that in seven days, all the princes would be present and hold a ceremony to welcome the envoys of Baiyue. ”

"Really? Then these 100 Vietnamese barbarians are still acquaintances, and they are worthy of my father's kindness and did not go south. ”

Xiao Xian was silent, he only faintly felt a little strange, after all, Beidi could be said to be no threat to Baiyue.

On the contrary, Da Chu, located in the Central Plains, was a greater threat to them.

Obviously, the mutual conquest between Da Chu and Bei Di is the best interest for them, so why do they want to be thankless to curry favor with Da Chu at this time?

Xiao Xian didn't understand, but simply didn't want to, after all, there were still seven days, and Gao Zongxian would inevitably take him with him at that time.

"Lone knows, there is Lao Aiqing."

"No trouble, no trouble."

Mu Qingfeng smiled and looked at Xiao Xian with a hot gaze.

"Gonggong Xiao, although the ministers of the DPRK and China have criticized the matter of the salt and iron official camp you said before, Your Majesty is very interested and does not know ......"

Really.

Xiao Xian said secretly, after all, if he just informed Baiyue that he wanted to come to pay tribute, he could have sent someone over.

Mu Qingfeng came to the East Palace in person, and sure enough, he had other purposes.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xian couldn't help but subconsciously set his eyes on Gao Zongxian-

After all, after Mu Qingfeng's advice last time, his fate is still vivid.

Seeing this, Gao Zongxian couldn't help but smile embarrassedly, and immediately gave up his position to the two.

However, what he didn't notice was that just as he looked at Xiao Xian with a relieved gaze, a figure flashed outside the window and disappeared into the East Palace.
