The system forced me to be emperor

"How do you think about it? If you fight to the death, you are likely to die, because you have to face ten enemy soldiers who are desperately fighting for survival." Zhuge Yuanba asked again.

Xiao Rui gritted his teeth and asked: "Who is afraid of whom, senior, when will we play?"

Zhuge Yuanba laughed loudly: "Okay! It really looks like your mother's temperament. I will arrange it, the slowest is five days, the fastest is three days. I will go to His Highness."

Xiao Rui nodded, turned his head to look at the room, and asked, "Before I leave, can I meet Miss Zhuge?"

But Zhuge Yuanba refused: "Forget it, let's talk about it after you become a second-rank martial artist."

Xiao Rui had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.

On the way back home, Xiao Rui became more and more curious about the identities of his mother and the grandfather he had never met before, and why the information he could investigate was extremely limited?

"Ding dong... a new mission has started."

I never thought that the system that had been silent for many days suddenly issued a task.

Xiao Rui hurriedly closed his eyes to observe, only to see:

"New task 1: Find out the mystery of the mother's identity. This is a long-term task. After completing the task, you will be rewarded once. If you fail the task, there will be no punishment."

"New task 2: Find out the true identity of grandfather and others. This is a long-term task. After completing the task, the reward will be 80. If the task fails, there will be no penalty."

"New task 3: Invite one of the grandfather, uncle, or aunt to Beijing. This is a long-term task. After completing the task, the reward will be 70. If the task fails, there will be no task penalty."

I go!

Xiao Rui was a little dazed, usually there was no movement, but now there are three new tasks, and they are still long-term tasks!Looking at the rich rewards, this is forcing Xiao Rui to investigate to the end.

However, what he could find was of no value, so he asked Xiao Yan to help him, and asked an old man like Duke Jing if he knew his grandfather. Even now, Xiao Rui didn't even dare to confirm his grandfather's last name.

Because he only knew that his dead mother was named Concubine Rong, and her name was Ye Qianlan, and it was probably a pseudonym.

If even an old man like Duke Jing didn't know, then who else in the capital would know besides Emperor Xia?

Wait, there is one more person!

Night King Xiao Heding!

When I saw him last time, he said that Xiao Rui's mother was the cousin of Xiao Heding's married wife, so he was naturally familiar with his mother's identity!

Thinking of this, Xiao Rui immediately asked Wu Zhanfa to leave the city and head to the Lotus Temple.

However, when he arrived at the Lotus Temple, he found that there was only the old abbot in the temple, and Xiao Heding had disappeared.After asking the abbot, he learned that the monk Yuanzhen left here and traveled all over the world.He also said that he is where he goes, and he is where he dies.

Well, the direction I finally found is broken again.

Is there only one way, and that is to ask Emperor Xia?

Xiao Rui was a little apprehensive.

Chapter 100: Fame and Fortune Feast

In the end, Xiao Rui did not go to Emperor Xia.

Maybe it's taboo, maybe he wants to investigate first, in short, he doesn't want to disturb Emperor Xia.Since the system dared to undertake long-term missions, it was to explain to Xiao Rui that it was not that simple to find out the true identities of her mother and grandfather, so there was no rush, and a long-term plan had to be considered.

Right now, Xiao Rui has more important things to do.

Among them, the first one is the dinner held by the second prince Xiao Yiheng.

That night, Xiao Rui wore a light blue gown, a jade crown on his head, and a Langhuan jade pendant on his waist. He was very casually decorated, and went to Chu Palace under the escort of Wu Zhanfa.

The Prince Chu's Mansion is only one street away from the Imperial Palace, and it is only next to the south gate of the imperial city. It is the best and largest among the prince's mansions.This time Xiao Rui was invited to a banquet, Xiao Yiheng was very formal, as he came out of the mansion to greet him personally, which was evident.

"Seventh brother, come and welcome." When Xiao Yiheng saw Xiao Rui getting off the carriage, a hearty smile appeared on his cold and proud face.

Xiao Rui cupped his hands in return: "Second brother, my younger brother has come to bother you, why bother you to go out of the house to greet him personally, how can you be so embarrassing for my younger brother?"

After all, Wu Zhanfa behind him came forward holding a big gift box, Xiao Rui signaled: "A small gift is not a respect."

Xiao Yiheng waved his fingers, and the steward behind him took it personally, and said with a smile: "Seventh brother, I am surprised at what you said. Is it too much for me to welcome my brother? Let's go and chat, the banquet is ready."

"Second brother, who else will come to this banquet?" Xiao Rui followed him into the mansion and asked curiously.

Xiao Yiheng said: "When I invite you to a banquet, it is only polite to invite you alone. My family has no one to accompany the wine. I will call your sister-in-law over later and ask her to pour wine for us. We two brothers have a good drink." .”

Xiao Rui said with a smile: "The younger brother is really flattered."

The two brothers who don't communicate with each other on weekdays, and their relationship is just to meet each other, are also drunk.

Xiao Rui secretly guessed in his heart, what is Xiao Yiheng's intention of inviting himself alone?It seems that today's banquet will not be peaceful.

"After a while, I will punish myself with three cups. For such a long time, I have not fulfilled the responsibilities and obligations of a royal brother. The two of us move around too little." Xiao Yiheng sighed and said earnestly.

Don't look at Xiao Yiheng's cold and arrogant temperament, but he is extremely familiar with the world. His cold and arrogant personality is his character as a prince, which highlights his status even more, but underneath his cold and arrogant personality is his sociable tact.It's not unreasonable why Xiao Yiheng is the most likely to inherit the great line among the princes, and has the most civil and military officials under his sect.

Xiao Rui followed Xiao Yiheng through most of the palace and came to a main hall.

At this time, the bells and drums are playing in unison, the qin and the zither are singing in unison, there are beauties dancing, the wind blows the white gauze around, the incense is scattered, and the lights are flickering, which is very beautiful.

At the top of the main hall, there are two desks with fruits on them.

Xiao Yiheng took the main seat on the east side, and Xiao Rui sat on the west side.

"Seventh brother, let's enjoy the singing and dancing first. This is a newly choreographed dance by the most famous dancer in Guanwu Pavilion. It looks ethereal like a fairy flying from the sky, and curls up like a phoenix singing in the sky. How about gossiping about home-cooked wine after three tours?" Xiao Yiheng suggested.

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "Okay!"

Immediately, the two enjoyed the singing and dancing, but were speechless for the time being.

The singing and dancing retreat and the banquet begins.

The maid brought delicious food and wine, and the most beautiful woman who came in front of her was Xiao Yiheng's concubine Li Xiu'er.

"Emperor's sister-in-law, my younger brother is polite." Xiao Rui got up and bowed his hands.

Li Xiu'er made a blessing and said with a smile: "Don't make such a big gift, King Xian. You will ruin your sister-in-law. Your second brother said that today is a family banquet. I will pour wine for you. You two brothers have a good drink."

After all, Li Xiu'er continued drinking for Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui stretched out his hand to express his gratitude, and when the wine was full, he held it up and said respectfully: "Thank you for the second brother's banquet. Since it is a family banquet, my brother doesn't pay attention to any rules. I will borrow the wine from my second brother first, and wish my second brother and sister-in-law good health. May all your wishes come true."

Xiao Yiheng and Li Xiuer also raised their wine glasses and said with a smile, "Thank you for your kind words, seventh brother."

After the three of them drank it all, Xiao Yiheng seemed to be touched, and sighed: "Seventh brother, your congratulations are on point. The most important thing for a person is good health, and the second is to make one's wishes come true. With these two As for the first rule, the first rule is not difficult. As for the second rule, it is even more difficult. Seventh brother, which two kinds of people do you think there are so many people in this world?"

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "The most people pursue fame and profit. The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the world's hustle and bustle is for profit!"
