Come on, Your Highness
Chapter 10 The Gambler's Game
Wei Guogong didn't know what He Xichao said to Xiao Hong in the forest, but he knew in his heart that with He Xichao's eloquent skills, it would not be difficult to gain Xiao Hong's trust.
After Xiao Hong came out of the forest, his complexion looked a lot better, obviously the two had a pleasant conversation.
At Wei Guogong's birthday banquet, Xiao Hong didn't see He Xichao, and he didn't hear anyone mention him. Sure enough, the mother and son were not welcome.
Xiao Ming sat between him and He Mingrui, the two cousins exchanged glances while eating, paying no attention to him at all.
Normally, he prided himself on being old, and he wouldn't care about them, but now, he finds it very dazzling, and always feels that these two people have secretly passed the song behind his back!
Xiao Hong finally came up with such a word, and he didn't know if it was suitable.
He suddenly felt angry, how could he be so stupid.
Wei Guogong knew his grandson well, and seeing Xiao Hong looking around frequently, he was afraid that he would become suspicious, so he tried to persuade him while trying to say: "Elder Prince, let the matter pass as it is, seeing that you are in a much calmer mood, it can be seen that it is also a good thing to go out for a walk." Good thing, the old man is pleased."
Xiao Hong obviously didn't want to say anything more, he didn't mention He Xichao at all, and replied indifferently: "What my grandfather said is true."
"Mingrui's child has been spoiled by his grandmother, and he can't serve His Highness for the time being. When he calms down, he will serve His Highness."
When he said this, Wei Guogong glared at He Mingrui, making him calm down a bit, but he didn't know that Xiao Hong was also looking up at him, trying to suppress the sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, and then said flatly: "It's okay, I don't bother to go anyway. In the study, it doesn't matter if he comes or not."
Wei Guogong didn't agree with this kind of self-defeating words. After all, he was his grandson. He wanted to persuade him again, but Xiao Hong didn't want to listen.
Now that they have made it clear that they want to support Xiao Ming, who cares what he does?
And Xiao Hong's negative and self-willed attitude also disappointed Wei Guogong, so he didn't ask any more questions.
After the meeting, Xiao Hong resigned immediately, "I've been out of the palace for too long, it's time to go back."
"Ah? Brother, it doesn't matter if the concubine mother says it's okay. Today is the grandfather's birthday, so it's okay to go back after dinner. Besides, I just came out after a lot of trouble, and I didn't have enough fun!" Xiao Ming was very unhappy.
Xiao Hong squinted at him and said, "Then you stay, I'll go first."
Xiao Hong's attitude was firm, Xiao Ming had no choice but to go back with him no matter how reluctant he was, muttering all the time, "Why go back so early."
"sleep."
Xiao Ming was stunned, looking up at Xiao Hong, he always felt that something was different.
He was tired of following the old lady, and loved him for a long time, and then he made an appointment with He Mingrui to see mynah, coaxed by his sweet-talking uncle and aunt, and then reluctantly left.
Xiao Hong looked at him coldly, and realized that he was really out of place. If it wasn't for his status as a prince, he would have been in a worse situation than He Xichao.
Xiao Hong didn't notice, but at this moment, he often used He Xichao as a comparison, and when he came to a conclusion, he found that he wasn't too bad, and his mood was surprisingly calm.
As soon as the two princes left, the old lady immediately asked Wei Guogong, "Look at the appearance of the eldest prince, where is there any hope? Mingrui is by his side again, isn't it a delay? The third prince's companionship has not been decided, is it?" The empress is waiting for us Mingrui, Lord, you have to think of a way as soon as possible."
The second lady also said: "A few days ago, the Yue Palace held a chrysanthemum meeting. I heard from the third lady of Liang Guogong's mansion that the emperor wanted to accompany the eldest grandson of Liang Guogong's mansion to the third prince. I heard that the grandson is very smart. , but at the age of six, he can already write letters on behalf of his grandfather and compose poems and odes by himself, such a child, the empress can't go wrong."
As soon as the crown prince was abolished, people's eyes would all be on the third prince. Now, no one knew that the third prince had the greatest hope. Anyone with children at home would want to fight for the vacancy around him.
Wei Guogong thought of He Xichao, in terms of intelligence, which child could compare to him?He even had the urge to send He Xichao to the Third Prince's side!
It's a pity that this child's family background is not good, and his parents and the second wife have feuded against each other. If he does this, Duke Wei's mansion will have no peace in the first place.
That night, He Xichao stood in front of Wei Guogong and assured him: "Don't worry, within ten days, your family will definitely get what you want."
He Xichao raised her small face, curled her mouth, her big eyes were shining brightly, and she was very confident.
Wei Guogong picked up the tea, drank it leisurely, and asked casually, "What did you say to him today?"
He Xichao's smile deepened, he gave a big smile, and said cheerfully, "Keep it secret!"
The corner of Wei Guogong's mouth fell before he raised it, and he snorted lightly, "You think I don't know?"
"You know, you still ask me?"
He Xichao said, "The third prince is the most favored now. I'm so smart. It's not bad to go to his side. Grandfather, do you want to think about it?"
"Hmph, don't even think about it."
The corners of He Xichao's mouth curled up, and a cold look appeared in his eyes, "Then don't ask so many questions, just wait for the good news."
Of course Wei Guogong sent someone to investigate, but he didn't dare to get too close. He could only see He Xichao and Xiao Hong pointing to the big characters on the ground under the tree and talking, but he couldn't hear the specifics.
But if he really knew what nonsense He Xichao said, he must spit out a mouthful of old blood, regretting this scourge.
Why watch for him to stabilize the eldest prince and solve his difficulties, he is clearly here to sow discord so as to gain opportunities from it!
It's a pity that the big characters on the ground were too deceptive, thinking that He Xichao was simply encouraging Xiao Hong to regain his strength.
In his previous life, He Xichao was able to become a human being as an orphan. This path of growth and development is beyond what ordinary people can imagine. There are too many children like him. Quick and accurate vision and a bold and risky spirit of adventure.
To put it bluntly, he is a gambler.
Bet that ordinary people dare not bet, bet on the game that is seen as dead.
Under He Xiang's gaze, He Xichao opened the brocade box in front of him, and there were three Mo Naihe inside. The shapes and styles were more complicated than two days ago, and the number of pieces put together was also more.
He took it out, put it on the table, and looked at it carefully one by one, seeming very surprised.
Seeing that he was about to take apart Mo Naihe and started to play, He Xiang hurriedly said, "Master Xichao, the eldest prince has sent a letter, should you reply to him first?"
"What did the letter say?" He Xichao asked Mo Naihe casually, playing with it.
He Xiang sneered and said: "This letter was written to you by the eldest prince, how would this old slave know? But seeing that this person is very impatient, it's better for you to reply earlier."
He Xichao raised his head to look at him when he heard the words, and said, "Understood, take it later in an hour."
As soon as He Xiang left, Xia He came in from outside with a teapot, and said with a smile: "Master Xichao, you are thirsty, this servant made you chrysanthemum tea."
He Xichao nodded, motioning for her to put it down.
He picked up the envelope from the box, looked at the gap on it, and sneered coldly in his heart, sure enough, he was suspicious!
"Peeping other people's letters is to cause lightning strikes." He muttered while reading the letter, but in this era when children have no privacy, he has nowhere to reason.
Whether the literary talent is good or not, the writing is three points, and Xiao Hong, who is a dog, does not look like a person with ink in his belly.
If he is not abolished, who will be abolished?He Xichao shook his head. He studied in the study for three years, and he is still able to write such "exquisite" characters, which is considered a skill.
The letter didn't say anything else, just asked these three Mo Naihe, Xiao Hong has been studying for three days, and he still doesn't know how to untie it, the one that He Xichao sent to him before, seeing He Xichao's easy disassembly and assembly, presumably these few are equally difficult If he doesn't fall, he will send it to ask and look forward to returning.
Wei Guogong must be very disappointed!
He Xichao couldn't help curling his lips into a chuckle, then raised his hand and passed the letter behind him and said, "Standing your feet and stretching your neck to read it is so hard, sister Xia He, why don't you make a copy and send it to the old lady?"
"What the young master Xichao said, the slaves don't understand."
He Xichao got up and walked around to the back, only to see Xia He standing with her head down and eyes down, and she couldn't see her expression clearly.
He Xichao walked up to Xia He, raised his head, and saw the latter's eyes drifting away. He Xichao smiled, put the letter in Xia He's hand and said, "Sister Xia He is the second-class maid of Hesong Courtyard, why did you come here?" Here, of course, I came here with a heavy burden. I don't blame you, on the contrary, in this short month, my sister has served my aunt and me with all her heart, and she is more considerate than Chunxiang. The letter is very important, so take it and copy it. Turn around so that the old lady can feel at ease...and I can also feel at ease."
Xia He stared down at the letter in her hand in a daze, and then looked at He Xichao with a sweet smile, her face full of empathy, but for some reason, she felt a little hairy when she heard the last sentence.
"Go ahead, let me play quietly for a while, and figure out how to understand it, so that I can reply to the eldest prince's letter. It's not your young master, I'm boasting, the time since you finished copying the letter and sending it to the errand is enough for me to solve it, and then I will give it to you." How about I grind ink?"
He Xichao, who was full of smiles, spoke in a leisurely manner, but Xia He didn't dare not listen, so he quickly answered yes, and went out.
He Xichao looked at Xia He's almost trotting back, and then calmly continued to sit back on the chair. Facing the biggest Mo Naihe, he tore it apart at once, and a small note fell out of it as expected.
"It's still a bit clever." He Xi tucked his lips and looked at Xiao Hong's dog crawling.
Xiao Hong: Xi Chao, brother has something important to tell his father, but he is timid, what should we do?reply ASAP!
"..." This kind of thing that can be done by acting coquettishly and being a rascal, why dare not?It's just a change of reading companion, think about the consequences of not changing, boy, won't you be more courageous?
He Xichao was speechless for a while, but still wrote another small note, put it in Mo Naihe, and set it up.
It doesn't matter how much you complain in your heart, and the tone of writing is naturally a little more tactful.
"When I enter the palace, hehe, the first thing to cure is your timidity. The emperor is so useful, if you can't learn to speak to him, it's useless!"
He built it very quickly, and finished all three in a short while. Just when Xia He came back, he decided to return to He Xichao after thinking about it, "Thank you, young master."
He Xichao put on an innocent smile and said: "In the future, if sister Xia He has any inconvenience, tell Xichao, if she can help her, Xichao will definitely help."
Xia He is not a fool, He Xichao is warning her by saying this, he will take the initiative to hand over to the old lady what he can tell her, and if he dares to act privately if he can't reveal it, don't blame him for being rude!
She knew that He Xichao was not as easy to fool as an ordinary six-year-old child, but she never expected that he would be so quick-witted, and he was sophisticated and tactful in everything he did and said.
Xia He had no choice but to compare him with He Mingrui, but her heart skipped a beat. If this young master really wanted to fight for something, the Duke's Mansion would not be so peaceful.
She said, "Listen to the young master's orders."
He Xichao didn't care whether she would listen or not, anyway, he went out of line, so he tried to deal with her.
"Come on, come and grind the ink, and send it to the Duke with the box and the letter later."
The author has something to say: He Xichao: I am a gambler, and I like to buy bottoms when I am floating green. I have never lost a bet in my life.
Haruka: take it easy, play carefully
He Xichao: What I play is the heartbeat, hehe, thank you for the little angel who voted for me or irrigated the nutrient solution~
After Xiao Hong came out of the forest, his complexion looked a lot better, obviously the two had a pleasant conversation.
