Transmigrated into the book to become the villain prince, the son of the plane to destroy

When the servants informed Qi Wang Xiao Jie to visit, Shouguang Hou Wu Tai was stunned.

He is the only younger brother of the empress dowager today, and he is a serious relative of the royal family. However, the empress dowager has always strictly restrained her family and never allowed them to use her name to be a domineering outsider. Wu Tai, the uncle of the country, is also very low-key. He lives in seclusion on weekdays and never shows off. He has contacts with North Korean and Chinese officials, not to mention other royal relatives.

Because of this, for Qi Wang Xiao Jie's uninvited visit, Wu Tai really couldn't figure out the other party's intention.

But despite being so clear about Xiao Jie's intentions, Wu Tai did not dare to neglect him. Even though he is the younger brother of the present empress dowager, and Qi Wang Xiao Jie is the seventh son of the current emperor, in terms of seniority alone, Xiao Jie is still two generations behind him. , but now everyone in Luoyang City does not know that Qi Wang Xiao Jie is the prince who has the best chance to enter the East Palace. It is really not a wise choice to offend him. Even if Wu Tai does not think about himself, he has to think about his children and grandchildren.

Therefore, regardless of his old age, Wu Tai went out to meet Xiao Jie in person.

"Veteran Wu Tai, see His Royal Highness King Qi."

Because of the relationship with the queen mother, Wu Tai was able to be appointed as a loose official from the third-rank Yinqing Guanglu doctor, so he called himself a veteran to Xiao Jie.

Xiao Jie hurriedly stepped forward to support Wu Tai, with a look of flattery on his face: "Uncle is trying to frustrate me. How can there be an uncle in this world who salutes his nephew and grandson?"

Xiao Jie called "uncle" on the left and "nephew" on the right, which made Wu Tai a little dizzy, and it was even more difficult to understand why Xiao Jie, who had never had any contact with him, suddenly became so eager.

But his intuition told him that he would go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything, and the guy in front of him who kept claiming to be his nephew suddenly came to visit relatives and friends, he must have some other purpose.

Thinking of this, Wu Tai glanced at Xiao Jie, and asked cautiously: "I don't know why His Highness came to visit, why?"

But Xiao Jie laughed: "Uncle, what are you talking about? We are all close relatives. We should have more contacts. I have nothing to do today. I stopped by to see Uncle. Could it be that Uncle doesn't welcome me as a nephew?"

Wu Tai was even more confused and uneasy, because he remembered clearly that Prince Qi's Mansion was in Chunhuafang, and their Wu Mansion was in Shangxianfang, so it was not on the way at all, and Xiao Jie clearly came to visit their Wu Mansion's gate on a special trip.

It's just that Xiao Jie's words have already reached this point, Wu Tai can only squeeze out a smile on his face, and said to Xiao Jie: "What is your highness talking about, you are a distinguished guest, you can't even invite me on weekdays, come today The humble house is enough to make our Wu Mansion flourish, and it's too late for the veterans to be happy!"

Xiao Jie laughed loudly, and then followed Wu Tai into the Wu Mansion.

Wu Tai originally wanted to take Xiao Jie to the expensive guest room, but Xiao Jie expressed inexplicably that it was also his first time as a guest in Wu's mansion, and he wanted to walk around.

Although Wu Tai said that he didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Xiao Jie's gourd, but he didn't want to take Xiao Jie's face off, so he could only accompany Xiao Jie and show him around the mansion.

The Wu Mansion occupies a large area, and it has been around for some years. When Xiao Ji ascended the throne as the empress, in order to show his favor to the Empress Dowager's family, he specially rewarded it to the Wu family. It also gave more than a dozen members of the Wu family a shelter. place.

It’s just that the Wu family has not been very prosperous, and even Wu Tai, who is the head of the family, only has one son, Wu Tang. Unfortunately, he went hunting with a few friends more than ten years ago and was accidentally hit by a stag with its antlers. He was seriously injured and died in the end. , so that Wu Tai will send a lot of white-haired people to black-haired people when he is still old.

Fortunately, Wu Tang's wife, Mrs. Zheng, was pregnant at the time and gave birth to a son a few months later, so Wu Tai's lineage did not end.

Because of this, Wu Tai loved this grandson so much that he was afraid of melting if he held it in his mouth, and afraid of falling if he held it in his hand.

Even the Empress Dowager was very concerned about this grandnephew, after all, he was the last bloodline of their old Wu family, and from time to time sent people from the palace to the Wu mansion to visit, or asked Wu Tai to take him into the palace to see her.

Wu Tai originally named his grandson Wu Ji, but because the grandson was weak and sick since he was a child, he asked the most famous fortune teller in Luoyang City to tell him his fate, and finally the fortune teller changed his name to Wu Ji for his grandson. Since then, he has been disease-free and disaster-free, and he has grown into a handsome young man in a blink of an eye.

Now in the huge Wu Mansion, there are only Wu Tai, Wu Ji, the grandparents and grandchildren living in a few side branches, and there are more than a dozen family servants, which seem somewhat deserted.

Xiao Jie wandered around aimlessly in the Zhou Mansion, Wu Tai could only drag his old and weak body to follow closely, and after a while, the two walked to the backyard.

What catches the eye is a huge and empty martial arts training ground, covered with grass, which is a bit like a football field in later generations, except that there are more than a dozen straw man targets erected in the center, and each straw man target is densely filled with feather arrows .

At this time, only one person and one horse were empty in the martial arts training ground. Among them, the young man in white robe was concentrating on shooting arrows one after another without needing to shoot them. They all hit the grass man's target, while his horse was leisurely beside him. Leisurely eating grass.

Of course Xiao Jie recognized that the young man was Wu Tai's precious grandson, and Wu Ji, who was also his cousin in terms of seniority, couldn't help smiling, turned his head and teased Wu Tai who was following him: "Unexpectedly, uncle is so old, but he is not very ambitious. Minus the martial arts training ground in the mansion back then, it can be seen that they have put a lot of effort into it."

Wu Tai was a little embarrassed and laughed dryly: "Your Highness is joking, the old minister is old and frail, how can he have such energy, this is my ineffective grandson, he likes riding and shooting by nature, the old minister can only reluctantly do what he can, and put the training ground Arranged like this, for them to practice riding and shooting."

Xiao Jie knew Wu Tai's good intentions. After all, his only son died in a hunting accident at a young age. How could he let his only grandson go out to fly eagles and horses again, but he was afraid that he would be suffocated in the mansion? So, he transformed the martial arts training ground in the mansion into a riding and archery range, so that his precious grandson Wu Ji could gallop on horses, draw bows and shoot arrows to his heart's content.

Xiao Jie looked at Wu Ji on the training ground, smiled and said: "Since we met, I'll go say hello to my cousin."

Wu Tai couldn't help being secretly happy when he heard the words, and he couldn't help but wish for it in his heart. After all, if Xiao Jie really had a chance to become emperor in the future, it would be of great benefit for his grandson to befriend him.

Although the queen mother is here now, no one dares to make things difficult for the Wu family, but the queen mother will die one day in the future, and once that day comes, the Wu family will have no backer at all, and they still have to find a reliable new backer in advance, and in the end Xiao Jie, who had the opportunity to be in charge of the East Palace, was undoubtedly the best choice.
