The system forced me to be emperor

Emperor Xia nodded, and said: "I know, when you were assassinated by the Cao family, the girl of the Zhang family sacrificed herself to save you, this kind of affection speaks for itself. Your benefactor is a good match. It happens that you have a side concubine next to you, so she will be appointed. Hai Dafu, I will go to Zhang's mansion with a generous gift tomorrow, and ask Zhongyonghou and Mrs. Zhang for their opinions on my behalf."

"Your servant understands." Hai Dafu said respectfully.

"In addition, although Lu Pheasant is the protector of the Black Lotus Sect, he turned to the light and did not make a big mistake in the end, and he also caught the treacherous thief for me, which can be regarded as meritorious service." Xia Huang said: "Back then, I and Mingyi Uncle is sworn brothers and made a verbal marriage contract for you. I can't break my promise. Since it is a marriage gift, there are not many good things to come to pass. Let the two be wives. In addition, the girl in your palace who is proficient in disguise is also married to you To share life and death with adversity, so I made her the rank of Zhaoyi."

According to Daxia's practice, the crown prince has one main concubine, two side concubines, two wives, four Zhaoyi, and Zhaoyuan and Liangdi... After all, he is the crown prince of a country, and his identity and status are determined here. .

"Ah?" Xiao Rui was dumbfounded for a moment.

Marrying Zhang Ruoxi was expected, but letting Lu Zhi, Lu Su, and A Zhu enter the East Palace at the same time is too... Xiao Rui doesn't know how to describe it.

Corruption, corruption...

It was the first time for Xiao Rui to feel the enjoyment brought by his status. It was not easy for ordinary people to enjoy the blessings of those people.

"What? Don't you need it?" Emperor Xia asked.

Xiao Rui came back to his senses and said respectfully: "It's all up to the father."

That's how the matter was settled.

After dinner, Emperor Xia felt tired, so he left the Hall of Mental Cultivation to rest.When Xiao Ruigong sent Emperor Xia away and was about to go back to the East Palace to rest, she suddenly saw Yan Xiaoxiao's face was in a daze, and she didn't even notice when the inkstone in her hand tilted and ink flowed out.

"Little?" Xiao Rui called out.

Only then did Yan Xiaoxiao regain her senses, and then quickly wiped the ink with a cloth, and said: "Please forgive me, Your Highness, this slave is distracted."

"Are you okay?" Xiao Rui asked.

Yan Xiaoxiao saw that there were other internal officials in the hall, she lowered her head and hurriedly shook her head, then said: "I'm fine, I'm going to fetch water to wipe it clean."

After speaking, Yan Xiaoxiao ran out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation in a panic.

Leaving the hall, the cold wind hit her, but she couldn't feel the cold wind.She resisted keeping silent, and when she passed by Zangshu Pavilion, she couldn't bear it anymore, and pushed the door directly to enter.

The inside of the Library Pavilion was dark, only a small piece of light was illuminated by the moonlight through the hollow pattern on the door.

She hid in the corner in the middle of the bookcase, resting her head on her knees, tears could no longer be controlled, and burst out of her eyes.But she bit her lip to keep herself from crying.At the same time, she held a jade lotus seed in her right hand, which was given to her by Xiao Rui.

She didn't know why she was crying, but when she heard that both Lu Su and A'Zhu could become His Highness's wife and Zhaoyi, she felt a wave of despair pervading her heart, and the strength in her heart suddenly collapsed.

I have silently loved His Highness from the beginning to the end, no more than anyone else, and I am even willing to die for His Highness, but I can't be the person who is by His Highness's side.

"Xiao Xiao, it's okay, it's okay, you have to be strong."

Yan Xiaoxiao muttered to herself, cheering herself up, but the tears still couldn't stop flowing down.

"As long as I can stay by His Highness's side, it's fine even if I'm a female officer forever."

"But what about after 25?"

"Woooo..."

Her lips were already bitten to the point of bleeding, Yan Xiaoxiaozai couldn't control the disappointment and fear in her heart, she burst into tears, crying bitterly.

Chapter 552: Silly girl, don't cry

"crunch..."

The heavy wooden door of the Library Pavilion was gently pushed open, making a slight sound.

The voice was not loud, but it seemed abrupt in the silent night, and Yan Xiaoxiao, who was in tears like rain, heard the voice, immediately wiped the tears with her cuff, then held her breath and dared not make a sound.

At this hour, who will come to Zangshu Pavilion?

She didn't dare to say anything, let alone put her head out to look around. She was afraid that the weakness hidden here would be seen by others, and she didn't want outsiders to see her current appearance.

So she huddled in the space between the bookcases, sitting curled up, hoping that shadows would cover her figure, that darkness would cover her despair.

At this time, a figure stepped into the library from the outside. He didn't hide his steps, so his steps were steady, and he stepped on the ground and made a rattling sound of footsteps, and he was walking in the direction where Yan Xiaoxiao was hiding. Going straight, it seems that you know someone is hiding here.

Finally, the figure approached and stopped in front of Yan Xiaoxiao.

Yan Xiaoxiao knew that she had been discovered, so she could only look up.

The moonlight shone into the pavilion through the hollowed-out pattern, sprinkled on the body of the person in front of him, rendering it into a silver light.When she saw the face of the person in front of her clearly, Yan Xiaoxiao couldn't help but shed tears again, but she bit her bleeding lip, unwilling to make any cry.

"Hey..."

The visitor sighed, then squatted down, stretched out his right hand to gently wipe away the tears from Yan Xiaoxiao's cheek, then stroked her cheek with the palm of his hand, and said softly, "Silly girl, why are you crying?"

Listening to the words of concern, Yan Xiaoxiao sniffed and called out: "Your Highness..."

That's right, it was Xiao Rui who came.

Yan Xiaoxiao left the Hall of Mental Cultivation as if lost in her soul, Xiao Rui guessed the reason, and felt worried, so he naturally wanted to come and see.It's a pity that after following out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, she was not found. When passing by the Library Pavilion, he suddenly remembered that it was here that he and Yan Xiaoxiao met for the first time in the palace.

Here, it seems to have become the secret of the two, and it has become a warm harbor for Xiaoxiao when she is uneasy.

So Xiao Rui pushed the door open and saw Yan Xiaoxiao as expected.

Looking at his pear blossoms with rain, Xiao Rui asked: "You haven't answered my question yet, why are you crying?"

Yan Xiaoxiao shook her head, she didn't want to tell Xiao Rui the weakness in her heart, and she was even more embarrassed to say the reason for her crying.Is it possible to say that I am jealous?In that case, what would His Highness think of him?

Xiao Rui scratched her nose and said, "Actually, if you don't tell me, I can guess it. Today, His Majesty's proposal was sudden and temporary, and I didn't even know it beforehand. The father is just standing in the position of the continuation of the royal family's blood." Think about the problem, so I don't care whether I have feelings with them. For example, Lu Su, I haven't known her for a long time, and the time we met is even shorter. If it wasn't because she is the daughter of Uncle Mingyi, would His Majesty grant a marriage? "

"Compared to them, Xiaoxiao and I have known each other the longest and have the most experience. If I could choose, I would naturally choose Xiaoxiao."

Yan Xiaoxiao's tears stopped abruptly, she stared blankly at Xiao Rui, and asked, "Really?"

Xiao Rui nodded, and said with a smile: "I am the crown prince, and he speaks his words. To tell you the truth, I have been worrying about how to transfer you from the Palace of Mental Cultivation. You are now a female official of the Palace of Mental Cultivation, and you are the chosen attendant." Lady, if you can't enter the East Palace, there will be a gap between you and me that is not easy to bridge. If I ask for you like my father, my father should agree, but I can't help but think too much, do you understand what I mean?"

Yan Xiaoxiao nodded quickly, how could she not understand?

In name, she is His Majesty's maid-in-waiting officer, just like De Concubine's predecessor, once she is favored by His Majesty, she will leap to the dragon's gate.Xiao Rui is the crown prince, so what's the point of robbing His Majesty's female officer?If His Majesty doesn't reward, Xiao Rui can't ask for it, because it will break the rules.

Moreover, Xiao Rui could tell that His Majesty had no intentions towards Yan Xiaoxiao at all. The reason why he kept her in the Hall of Mental Cultivation and let her be the female official writing was entirely because he saw that King Chu Xiao Yiheng coveted Yan Xiaoxiao.So letting Xiao Xiao stay in the Hall of Mental Cultivation was deliberately done by His Majesty.

As for why...

The king of Chu is dead, so why mention it again.

"Do you understand now? Are you still sad?" Xiao Rui asked with a smile.

Yan Xiaoxiao blushed instantly, lowered her head and dared not look at Xiao Rui.What a shame tonight that such a joke was made.But Xiao Xiao was happy in her heart, because she understood His Highness's intentions.So even though she was ashamed, she felt it was worth it.

At this time.
