The system forced me to be emperor

"It's him." Xiao Rui replied.

Emperor Xia nodded and said: "It seems that this son has amazing talent in martial arts, what's his name?"

"Polu, my minister didn't give him a surname." Xiao Rui said.

Emperor Xia was stunned, and read: "Polu, Polu... Ruier, you have a heart."

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "This is the ambition a prince should have."

Emperor Xia immediately picked up a piece of meat and put it into Xiao Rui's bowl.Xiao Rui thanked him and felt Emperor Xia's love.

On the other hand, Hai Dafu, who served Emperor Xia, shrank his pupils sharply, almost becoming a needle's eye.But his face remained calm, not daring to show any abnormalities.

"I went to pay my respects to the empress in the morning, how did the chat go?" Emperor Xia asked gossipingly.

Xiao Rui said: "We had a very happy chat. From now on, I should get closer to the King of Chu. Just like what the Queen said, I can ask my elder brother for help in everything. The family does not talk about two things."

Emperor Xia laughed and said, "Then what are you planning to ask the King of Chu for?"

"Borrow money! My son's family is big now, and he doesn't have enough money to spend. Naturally, he needs to ask the King of Chu for help. He is the elder brother, and the money he lent should not come out of nine out of ten, right?" Xiao Rui said.

Pointing at Xiao Rui, Xia Huang was confused by his scoundrel, and said: "Not only can't, but we can talk about whether we can go back. After all, he is the elder brother, so it's not too much to give the younger brother pocket money."

"Father has ordered it. If he dares to take it, he will be deceiving the emperor!" Xiao Rui's eyes lit up, and he suddenly grasped Xia Huang's words.

Emperor Xia smiled and said: "I didn't say it, who heard it? Haibanban, have you heard it?"

Hai Dafu hurriedly said respectfully: "The villain didn't hear it, he just lost his mind, please punish him by Your Majesty."

Xiao Rui was speechless for a moment, it was simply too difficult to take advantage of Emperor Xia.but…

"Father, how is the alliance with Dayan envoys going?" Xiao Rui asked.

Emperor Xia approved: "It was done very well, without losing the prestige of the country, and gained sufficient benefits. I heard that the alliance letter has returned to Dayan, and Emperor Yan highly appreciated the alliance between the two countries. Now that the two countries have successfully formed an alliance, both Relieving the threat of attacks on the front and back of the Great Yan Kingdom, and deterring the Great Zhao, will be of great benefit to our Great Xia."

Xiao Rui laughed and said, "Since my son has done such a good job, why should there be some rewards?"

Emperor Xia stared, and shouted: "Didn't I agree with you to leave the capital and monitor the state capital? If you can't do it well, you still want to go out?"

Xiao Rui was deflated, but continued to demand: "Father, the reward is actually not for the son, but for the father. Think about it, father, the son has done a good job. If you don't reward him, what will the minister of civil and military think? Who would dare to spare no effort to be loyal and responsible? Without rewards, wouldn’t all the civil and military officials want to slander your father for being stingy? I believe that even King Jin and King Duan, who are deputy envoys, would also complain in their hearts. Eunuch Hai, please tell us something fair! "

Hai Dafu said: "Your Highness, the villain has lost his mind again, what are you talking about?"

Xiao Rui said that he didn't want to talk to this old guy anymore.

Emperor Xia snorted and said, "It's they who will slander you, but you? But you also have some truth in what you said. If you don't reward people, you will lose people's hearts. So what do you want? The crown prince is not good."

"Ahem..." Xiao Rui was frightened, this stalk was so cold that Xiao Rui didn't dare to answer, but let alone, he didn't have this idea before, and being reminded by Emperor Xia, his heart became hot instantly.

Xiao Rui said: "I want any reward from my father, I have a good appetite, and I will accept anything."

"Very good, then just wait, let me think about it carefully." Xia Huang said.

Only then did Xiao Rui feel satisfied, hmph, if he didn't get some benefits to go back today, it would not be in vain.

It took half an hour for lunch to end.

Xiao Rui saw that Emperor Xia was a little tired. After all, he got up early every day to go to court, and after the court, he had to review the memorials after a simple rest.So Xiao Rui asked to leave and let Emperor Xia take a lunch break.

Emperor Xia didn't leave Xiao Rui behind either, and waved him to retreat.

Leaving the Hall of Mental Cultivation and passing by Zangshu Pavilion when leaving the palace, he suddenly heard a timid female voice behind him: "King Xian...His Royal Highness King Xian!"

Xiao Rui paused, subconsciously looked back, and saw a gap between the two vermilion doors of Zangshuge, a girl dressed as a female official was hiding behind the door, looking at Xiao Rui.

At the first glance, Xiao Rui felt that the girl was extremely beautiful, and she seemed familiar.

It's not that Xiao Rui knew each other when he saw a beautiful woman, this time it was really deja vu!

Xiao Rui turned around and looked at the girl. When he saw the white jade lotus seed in the girl's hand, he suddenly reacted and shouted: "You are... that woman from outside Qiuyang County!"

The girl smiled like a flower, walked out from the library pavilion, and hurriedly saluted: "Little girl Yan Xiaoxiao, I pay my respects to your benefactor."

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "So your name is Yan Xiaoxiao, you were far away at that time, and only your surname was Yan. You came to the capital to visit relatives, why did you come into the palace?"

Yan Xiaoxiao said: "My distant uncle is an official in Beijing, my cousin doesn't want to enter the palace, but she has already found someone she likes, so I entered the palace for my cousin."

After speaking, Yan Xiaoxiao felt a little lost.

Xiao Rui nodded, and asked: "So you are elected as the Maid of Honor instead of your cousin? But have they considered whether you would like it or not?"

Yan Xiaoxiao said: "My parents died early, thanks to my uncle's care. My grandparents told me that people must learn to repay their kindness, and the palace is not a dragon's pool or a tiger's den. As long as you are careful, you can still leave the palace after a few years."

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "You are serving in the Library Pavilion now? It's relatively deserted here."

If the selection of a maidservant can be favored by His Majesty, it can be said to be a step up to the sky, so the best place is to stay in the harem, or a place where you can meet the emperor by chance. Go in person, so the probability of Yan Xiaoxiao meeting Emperor Xia is too low, so she will never get ahead in her life.

Yan Xiaoxiao blushed and lowered her head slightly.He was still serving in Baihua Palace yesterday, but in order to see Xiao Rui, she spent three months' monthly money, and was willing to transfer to this deserted place that no one else wanted to come to.Even if she can only be with books, she is willing.

She doesn't know why she is so persistent, maybe it's just to see her benefactor, to see him from a distance, or to say a word, even if she has been alone for many years, she is satisfied.

"With books as companions, it's not deserted!" Yan Xiaoxiao said softly.

Xiao Rui said with emotion: "Scholarly as a companion, it is true that you are not alone. If you need help with anything, please speak up as soon as possible. We are old acquaintances. In this silent palace, we must protect ourselves well."

Yan Xiaoxiao raised her eyes and took a peek at Xiao Rui, feeling her heart beating violently, Xiao Rui's words warmed her heart.

"Your Highness, I... really need your help!" Yan Xiaoxiao didn't know why, but she lied when she was fine.

Xiao Rui said: "Say it!"

Yan Xiaoxiao said: "I want to ask His Highness to send a letter out of the palace and bring it to my grandfather and grandmother."

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "No problem, have you finished writing?"

Yan Xiaoxiao pointed to the Library Pavilion and said, "Can I write in time now? Will it cause trouble to Your Highness?"

Xiao Rui looked around, there were guards outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but they didn't pay attention here, so Xiao Rui pointed to the Zangshu Pavilion, walked in, and said: "It doesn't matter."

Inside the Library Pavilion, there are all collections of books.

There is a copywriter in the center, covered with a white tablecloth, the four treasures of the study are placed on the table, and there is an exquisite incense burner burning incense.There is an exquisite vase on the other side, and an unknown wild flower is inserted, which adds a touch of fragrance to the library.

Yan Xiaoxiao came to the copywriter, laid out the paper and started writing.

Xiao Rui first looked at Zangshu Pavilion, and then fixed his eyes on Yan Xiaoxiao.

The sun shines into the pavilion through the ventilation holes, and spreads behind Yan Xiaoxiao, rendering it a golden glow. This situation makes Xiao Rui regret that he does not have a camera to keep this beautiful scenery.
