and Prince Xiao Rongshen have only one relative, that is, his mother Liu. The rise of the Liu family probably stems from a woman's song. During the Gaozu period, a woman surnamed Liu entered the palace as a concubine. Xiao Rongshen's mother is the niece of the woman surnamed Liu, and it is said that Gaozu's Concubine Liu can be called a role.

Probably the stunners in the world can't last long, when Concubine Liu died, Concubine Liu was just a side room in the emperor's mansion today, and Xiao Rongshen was still young at that time.

When Gaozu came to see her, she covered her face with a silk quilt, for fear of leaving an impression of falling flowers and ruined. When Gao Zu reached out to pull the quilt open, Concubine Liu reached out and held it down, refusing softly...... Gao Zu naturally couldn't bear it, and said softly: "I just want to see my concubine." No matter how comforting Gaozu was, Concubine Liu, who had a peerless appearance, resolutely refused to meet.

said weakly and last words: "The concubine is haggard, and she can't bear to see His Majesty, and the only thing that the concubine can't rest assured about is her nephew Rongshen and niece Liu." ”

Although Gao Zu was unhappy in his heart, he couldn't bear to refuse, and reluctantly agreed and left.

Xiao Rongshen often heard his mother talk about that tune, and he also heard his mother sing it, but his mother did not sing the sad and moving taste in the legend, and Xiao Rongshen lost interest after listening to it twice. Taking advantage of the child's words, Xiao Rongshen also asked Gao Zu about the tune, Gao Zu said that the song was called "Feng Qiwu", every time Gao Zu mentioned it, he shed tears, and Xiao Rongshen didn't dare to ask any more.

The cold winter of Dachu is surprisingly cold, although the earth dragon and charcoal basin have already been added to the house, but it is not effective. Under the window, a row of ice skates was frozen early, and when they went in and out of the house, they could freeze people through in an instant, and they were always nested in the room, and people had no energy.

Xiao Rong woke up, pulled out of his memories, took the official document on the case and read it carefully. It's rare for Gao Bingyan to do things so neatly, and the flames of war in Guiyun have slowly ignited, at first there were still a little stumbles, followed by a skyrocketing fire.

Xiao Rongshen sneered for a while, who would have thought that such a competition between countries would be caused by the competition between the two princes?

Xiao Rongshen was overjoyed, and just got up, the fourth prince, Xiao Rongcheng, had already entered the door.

"Fourth brother, you want your eldest brother to die!" Xiao Rongshen stepped forward and hugged the fourth prince who was on the back of a tiger.

Xiao Rongshen looked at Rong Cheng carefully, darkened, strong, and had two shallow scars on his face. At a glance, he knew that he was a heroic and warlike hero in troubled times, Xiao Rongshen punched him hard in the shoulder: "Good boy, he has really grown a lot." ”

Xiao Rongcheng leaned over and kowtowed to Rong Shen: "Big brother, just now I entered the palace to meet my father and the emperor, and I also met our mother and concubine, only then did I know that the eldest brother's affairs are all bad for the younger brother, if the younger brother is in the capital, who dares to let the eldest brother suffer such a bird anger?!"

Xiao Rongshen paused, although Rong Cheng was kind-hearted, but what he said made him a little embarrassed. Xiao Rongshen smiled: "Now that the fourth brother is back, the eldest brother can be regarded as hopeful." ”

Xiao Rongcheng laughed loudly: "The border is barren, and my younger brother doesn't have anything to bring to his eldest brother, just a little mountain ginseng and deer antler velvet, fur and ivory, etc., eldest brother don't dislike his younger brother for being rough." ”

Xiao Rong said with a deep smile: "Our brothers, what gifts do you talk about or not? As long as the fourth brother has me as the eldest brother in his heart, the eldest brother will be satisfied." ”

Rong Cheng sat down, took a cup of tea brought by the housekeeper, and looked the housekeeper up and down: "Yo, now even the young students have grown beards." ”

Xiao Rong looked at the housekeeper deeply, but no, he had been by his side all these years, and he hadn't paid attention to it. Time passed in a hurry, and it was really unstoppable.

The housekeeper smiled: "The villain is just a few more strands of beard, Your Highness, you are now more and more dragon and tiger spirit, and the villain is looking forward to His Royal Highness returning to Beijing and joining forces with our prince to do a big job." ”

"Haha, I can speak, Shaosheng is getting better and better at talking. Xiao Rongcheng touched his beard: "But then again, the changes in the capital are a bit big." I just passed by the Upper Pavilion and noticed that the plaques there had changed. What does it mean to add a 'Wei' in front of the cabinet? When will there be a Wei's again?"

Xiao Rongshen lowered his head and didn't speak, and the housekeeper sighed: "Alas, it's hard to prevent thieves, it's not Lu Shenglin's kid, seeing that he was interested in money, and seeing the great cause of the Wei family, he ignored the feelings of the master and servant and defected to the Wei family." Hmph, he doesn't want to think about it, if the prince hadn't given him two hundred taels of silver to start a business, he would still be a poor peddler now!"

"What is the origin of the big Wei family?" Xiao Rongcheng touched the meat on his face, and couldn't think of who it was after searching the dry intestines.

"It's the antique store's Wei Mansion, which is getting bigger and bigger now, and it's reaching out everywhere in the past few years. The butler muttered.

"Less life, shut up. No matter what the Wei family says, it is also the princess's maiden family, the family is the prince, we are just princes, how can we compare?" Xiao Rongshen sighed falsely: "This king is looking forward to the prince being able to treat his brothers well after he ascends the throne in the future, don't worry about us people, I am also happy to live a few days of leisure." ”

Xiao Rongcheng was stunned: "Big brother, you have changed." ”

Xiao Rongshen turned his face: "People are under the eaves, how can they not bow their heads? Fourth brother, you are not in the capital, naturally you don't know the prince's methods, the prince supports the new policy, and is known as the iron-fisted and weak love king." Not to mention the newly married crown princess, his father was the suzerain of Donglin. These are all very tough, and we can't afford to mess with them. Fourth brother, you just returned to Beijing and don't know the situation, when you see them in the future, avoid them more, don't touch them. ”

Xiao Rongcheng is used to being arrogant and domineering on the battlefield, I heard that Lu Shenglin hated it when he saw wealth, and he heard that Xiao Rongshen wanted him to be low, so he was even more angry. The case was slapped: "What bastard princess, bastard Wei family, I am a prince, the emperor's son, and I still have to see a woman's face? I'm going to be afraid of her?"

The housekeeper glanced at Xiao Rongshen and said with a slight smile: "Fourth Master, don't be angry, our prince didn't mean this, but I was worried that the fourth master was upright and was calculated by them." You must know that our prince has already guarded very tightly, isn't it still their way? The people in their Weifu are all businessmen, and they are used to calculating, we are frank people, and we can't guard against it. ”

Xiao Rongcheng couldn't listen to such fanning words, and he was angry: "Big brother, you don't have to worry about this, I want to see what this Wei Mansion is capable of, but he is a lowly businessman, how can he get the favor of his father? This Da Chu is the world of the Xiao family, not the dynasty of the Wei family. ”

"Strong!" Xiao Rong praised deeply: "Fourth brother, you are commendable, but you still need to be cautious in life." ”

"Be cautious, I'll smash the upper cabinet to a pulp, I don't believe that the surname Wei dares to say half a word!" Xiao Rongcheng turned around: "Big brother, just wait and see!"

Xiao Rongcheng said, snorted angrily out of Prince He's mansion, and ordered the soldiers of the mansion to smash the upper pavilion.

Xiao Rongshen doesn't care how he makes trouble, anyway, at this juncture, the more mixed the water in the capital, the better he is at fishing in troubled waters. Let Xiao Rongcheng and Wei Yuanxi make a move, as the saying goes, beat the master to death, no matter how cunning Wei Yuanxi's methods are, he can't stand Rong Cheng's meat trick of not playing cards according to the routine.

The housekeeper gave Xiao Rongshen a new cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, it seems that the fourth master's temper has not changed at all, and he is still so upright." ”

"Straightforward?" Xiao Rongshen glanced at the housekeeper: "Shaosheng, in front of this king, you don't have to hide your words, you want to say rudeness, right?"

The housekeeper pursed his lips and bowed his head slightly: "Shaosheng doesn't dare." ”

"There's nothing to dare to, our friendship for so many years, naturally we don't have to restrain those, if it's seniority, the two of us have to be called cousins. Xiao Rongshen took a sip of tea: "It's good for the fourth master to be upright, it is naturally not harmful to us, just ask him to stumble on Lu Shenglin's feet, and we can concentrate on dealing with Wei Yuanxi." The second child caught fire in the backyard, and his life in Donglin was not good. ”

The housekeeper nodded, and said, "If the fourth master really smashes the upper cabinet, will it alarm the emperor?"

"What about alarming the emperor? The emperor summoned the fourth child back to Beijing, which has already reduced his military power. Even if you degrade the official again, what can you degrade it to?" Xiao Rongshen thought of this, and couldn't help laughing: "Presumably my father and Xu Wenliang are going to worry, the fourth child is not stingy, and he is a prince with little soup and little water, you just peeled him and filed him, smashed and squeezed the oil, and it was just a pot of slag." ”

The housekeeper laughed: "I'm not afraid of bites if there are too many lice, our fourth master is probably like this, right?"

Xiao Rongshen smiled so hard that his cheeks hurt, and he rubbed his face: "Shaosheng, you send someone to keep an eye on the fourth master, and report anything immediately." There is also the war on the border of Guiyun, if Gao Xiangguo comes, remember to wake me up. The king is tired, so he should go and sleep for a while. ”

Xiao Rong stretched his waist, turned his back to his hand, and said loudly: "Who knows the big dream first, I know it in my life." ”

The butler took the teacup and exited the study. As soon as he turned around, Yuan Jia was standing behind him, and he bowed: "I've seen my aunt." ”

Yuan Jia looked at the two sets of cups in the housekeeper's tea tray and asked, "Is Gao Xiangguo here again?"

The housekeeper shook his head: "It's the fourth master who came back, chatted with His Highness for a while, and left." ”

Yuan Jia sighed, thought for a moment, and asked, "Does the fourth master have a concubine?"

The housekeeper glanced at Yuan Jia: "The fourth master has not married the concubine yet, but there are several concubines, and the most favored one is a man named Yelu Nuer, who was bought by the fourth master from a Fanbang human trafficker, and is eighteen years old this year." ”

Seeing that Yuanjia was silent for a while, the housekeeper asked softly, "Do you need the villain to arrange it for your aunt?"

Yuan Jia suddenly raised his eyes: "What arrangement?"

The housekeeper lowered his eyelids slightly: "Doesn't my aunt want to meet this slave girl?"

Yuan Jia looked the housekeeper up and down for a while, and said gently: "You are becoming more and more presumptuous, and you dare to speculate on my thoughts?"

The housekeeper bowed: "Don't dare." ”

Yuan Jia snorted lightly, took a silver ticket of five hundred taels, stuffed it into the butler's clothes, and said in a low voice: "There is naturally nothing wrong with seeing it, but His Highness doesn't like me to go out to make friends with a wife, you, you know what to do, right?"

"Auntie, rest assured, the villain will never let the third person know about doing things. ”
