Come on, Your Highness

"My lord, it's really deceiving people too much. Only 10 taels of silver were produced in the Palace of the King of England. He's going to put it all in his pocket!" Wu Weiyong said angrily, "I have seen it, what kind of scholars are noble, this extortion starts When Yinzi came, he didn't even blink an eye, compared to him, it's really inferior to be an official."

Zhang Qi said: "My lord, this is obviously playing tricks on us, with 10 taels, I'm not afraid of dying."

Zhou Da snorted coldly after hearing this: "Where is it for himself, it is for the King of England."

"Your Excellency, you mean that He Xichao is asking for money for the King of England?"

Zhou Da said, "Exactly."

"But isn't he checking the accounts? With that look, it seems that if he disagrees, he will get a real chapter from the imperial court!" Wu Weiyong was full of confidence when he thought of the boy sitting on the floor asking for the price just now!

Zhou Da sneered, "Is it so easy to check the account? After all, the King of England's family is too weak, and he has no money left, so he lives on the 30 taels."

These words made Wu Weiyong and Zhang Qi feel a little strange, Zhang Qi asked: "The King of England is still short of money? Isn't he the hottest prince now? How many people want to honor him, just take it casually, and the pockets will bulge up." "

"Retired, news came out from the palace that the King of England ordered all the presents to be sent back and forth this morning, and no one will be kept." Zhou Da sat down, picked up the tea, and blew the tea soup.

Wu Weiyong was puzzled and said: "Is there something wrong with the King of England, he won't accept good filial piety, and he has to be serious with us for the 10 taels?"

"Young man, full of enthusiasm, has the arrogance of not wanting to be with others. How can you get this kind of money? The emperor is still watching." Zhou Da laughed sarcastically, "The 10 taels belong to him. You should come back."

"Your Excellency intends to return the money? Then we are working in vain?" Wu Weiyong was very reluctant, the money fell into his pocket, who would want to take it out again, he looked at Zhou Da carefully, and said in a deliberate tone , "The money has already been divided up and down. If you want to return it like this, I'm afraid it will damage your reputation."

"Yes, my lord, we are all willing to give 6 taels, but it's not enough, so we have to take it all back, which is too disrespectful to you," Zhang Qi said.

Zhou Da glanced at them with a half-smile when he heard the words, "Weiyong, you are an old man who followed me early in the morning, and Zhang Qi was brought by you. You two are naturally different from others here. I just opened one eye and closed one eye.”

"Thank you, my lord. I will follow my lord's lead." Wu Weiyong bowed and clasped his hands in favor.

Zhou Da put down the teacup, and there was a crisp sound when the bottom of the cup rested on the high table, which made Wu Weiyong feel uneasy, and he heard him say, "Tell me, how much money did you take from the Royal Palace this time? Is it only 10 taels?" ?”

Zhou Daqing gave a faint sound, as if a thunder had struck Wu Weiyong's ears, and Wu Weiyong immediately knelt down, "My lord..."

Shangfeng knelt down, and Zhang Qi naturally knelt behind.

Zhou Da ignored them, and only said: "He Xichao is not a fool. Since he asked for the money back in this way, he naturally didn't want to tear his face. How could he not even give me face, and he wanted everything?"

Wu Weiyong was about to break out in cold sweat. He lowered his head, looking at the ground and thinking nonstop.

"For mediocrity." The voice above had turned cold.

"Master Wu..." Zhang Qi couldn't help calling out.

Wu Weiyong finally kowtowed heavily, "My lord, I'm an official...I'll be damned, I still have 2 taels..."

"Pa——" the tea cup shattered at his feet, causing him to tremble in fright, and quickly changed his words, "5 taels, it's 5 taels, my lord, the little one is obsessed with it, I didn't tell you, the little one really can't help it !"

Zhou Da looked at him coldly, his eyes seemed to be poisoned, "How courageous! Wu Weiyong, if you don't give me a reason today, you will go to hell!"

Wu Weiyong snatched the land with his head: "My lord, spare me, it's because the kid likes to gamble, and owes 3 taels to outsiders. There's nothing I can do about it. The little one made such a bad move...My lord, it's because the little one is doing my best for you and doing practical things." , give the little one another chance!"

"It's a good gamble." Zhou Da nodded solemnly, looked at his subordinates on the ground, and said three good words in succession, "When you were promoted to the head of the construction department, remember what I said? Our business is a fish in troubled waters , the most taboo is to surface and leak money. You are lucky, your son can gamble out a debt of 3 taels, is this because he is afraid that others will not come to check? Sigh... It seems that the wings are hard and no longer I need this officer to take care of me..."

Wu Weiyong shook his head again and again, "My lord, the younger one doesn't dare, and the younger one won't dare again! The only son of Xiaguan, although he doesn't live up to expectations, is at least a root of the old Wu family. I really can't just sit and watch him get lost. Fate. I have already sent him back to my hometown, and I will not dare to cause trouble again. Just this time, my lord, you have a lot of adults, please forgive me this time! Little, I am willing to pawn all my belongings, and I have 4 left Two, make up the little one by yourself, so I won’t make it difficult for you!”

"My lord, for the sake of Mr. Wu's following you for so many years, please give me another chance!" Zhang Qi followed up and begged, "I'm willing to share money with Mr. Wu. Mr. He is satisfied, let His Royal Highness be satisfied!"

The two kowtowed together, and their foreheads turned blue after a while.

Zhou Da tapped his fingers on the armrest. Hearing the sound of kowtow on the ground, it gradually slowed down. He seemed to be dying, so he raised his hand and said, "Stop, I have to call a doctor for you if you faint. It's all right, get up." Find a chair and sit down."

"Many, thank you sir..."

"Thank you sir..."

Zhang Qi got up, and walked forward to help Wu Weiyong up. The latter's forehead was already swollen, and his eyes were a little loose.

After he was relieved, Wu Weiyong said: "My lord, I will go back to raise money now..."

But Zhou Da sneered, "What are you raising? Who said that I will give you 10 taels?"

"grown ups?"

"Two young brats, I am willing to give them 6 taels for the sake of the emperor's face. In the end, I wanted 10 taels even if I made progress. I don't want to put my second-rank official uniform on it. in the eyes."

Zhou Da looked at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, pointed at the high table with his fingers, and looked unhappy.

Zhang Qi immediately understood the meaning, took the teapot on the table, poured another cup of tea and put it in Zhou Da's hand, "No, which prince is not polite when he sees you, His Royal Highness wants to return the money, what to do It’s time to discuss it with you personally.”

Zhou Da twitched the corners of his mouth, his expression softened a little, he picked up the tea and said, "It doesn't matter if you come or not, after all, it's His Royal Highness the King of England. Speaking of which, He Xichao's ability to guess half of it is considered his ability, it's mediocre."

"grown ups?"

"Tomorrow, you can say hello to him, and give him another 5000 taels, five to five cents. If he agrees, this matter will be over. Otherwise, His Royal Highness likes to check it out, and the emperor will see the outcome." .”

"Yes, my lord."

Wu Weiyong walked out of Zhou Mansion, his body could not help shaking.

Fortunately, Zhang Qi quickly supported him behind him, and asked worriedly: "Master, are you okay, do you want to see the doctor?"

Wu Weiyong grabbed his hand, lowered his head slightly, his eyelids were gloomy, and when the dizziness passed, he said coldly: "Let's go."

He Xichao looked at the 5000 taels in front of him, and immediately narrowed his eyes, "Master Wu, it seems that the amount I asked for is not this."

Wu Weiyong took a step with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile, "Young Master He, you shouldn't be too greedy. The 5000 taels is already the limit of what I can do, and there really can't be more."

He Xi raised his eyebrows, his eyes turned around the gauze on Wu Weiyong's forehead, and there was a hint of playfulness at the corner of his mouth, "Oh, it seems that the Lord has spoken."

"Mr. He is quick-witted, and I admire it. Yes, it is indeed Mr. Zhou's intention." Wu Weiyong looked at him, nodded his head, and sighed again, "Since you already know, there is no need for me to bother you. Tongue, will you take this money?"

Zhang Qi pushed the box in front of He Xichao again, and persuaded him: "Young Master He, please take it as soon as you see it. His Royal Highness is the only one who can get it back after entering the pocket of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. portion."

He Xichao finally couldn't help laughing out loud after hearing this, he was already good looking, with this smile, the sun shone brighter.

However, at this time and place, it seemed out of place and very ironic. Wu Weiyong frowned and said, "What are you laughing at, Mr. He? I have worked hard to fight with Mr. Zhou over and over again, and I have come to find Mr. He tirelessly. This matter should be resolved as soon as possible. It’s not that I’m alarmist. No matter how much His Royal Highness favors him, he’s not a prince, let alone an emperor! The Ministry of Internal Affairs has little power, but in this imperial city, where can the emperor’s relatives be less? Mr. He, If Mr. Zhou wants to embarrass His Royal Highness, it is not difficult. Think about it, His Highness is going to leave the palace soon, farther away from the emperor, but the maids and eunuchs are serving the emperor. If you accidentally say something unfavorable Your Highness's words... Mr. He, you have to persuade His Highness, let's just forget it."

With a smile in his eyes, He Xi took a deep look at Wu Weiyong, who was so sincere, but didn't even look at the box of bank notes. He stood up and walked out the door, "No need, there is nothing to talk about. Master Wu..." He stood still at the door, turned his head, bent his eyes, and reminded, "You can do it yourself."

After that, he really left.

Zhang Qi picked up the box, a little puzzled, and said to Wu Weiyong whose face suddenly darkened: "My lord, look..."

Wu Weiyong had a sneer on the corner of his mouth, "Hmph, I don't know how to flatter you. Collect the bank notes and let's go. Let's report to Master Zhou."

Zhang Qi followed behind him and asked, "My lord, I'm afraid His Highness the King of England will not be happy. What if they can find out the account?"

"Then it's all up to Mr. Zhou. I'm just following orders. He Xichao is not stupid. You see, he doesn't break up with me at all."

As soon as He Xichao came out of the restaurant, a carriage arrived in front of him. When he got on the carriage, he saw Xiao Hong who was full of smiles.

"It's been hard work, Xi Chao, how about it, they brought 10 taels?"

He Xichao shook his head, "No, it's 5000 taels."

Xiao Hong wondered: "How could it be this number? Zhou Da is too greedy. I'm going to return half of it. He doesn't agree?"

He Xichao stroked his chin in thought, and suddenly he came back to his senses and asked, "I asked you to investigate, are the relationships behind these people clear?"

Speaking of this, Xiao Hong got excited. He leaned close to He Xichao, and said with a little mystery: "Wu Weiyong was picked up by Zhou Da alone. He can be regarded as a confidant. This piece of paper is Wu Weiyong's wife and uncle. The relationship between the two is natural." Get closer. Although Zhou Da is not clean, he will not be too vicious if he grabs money, otherwise his father will be the first to spare him. But sitting in this position, even if he is casual, it is enough to make people Jealousy. But Wu Weiyong is different, he is very greedy, and he can report 100 taels for one tael of silver plus a messy name.

He Xichao asked thoughtfully: "Wu Weiyong has been the head of the construction department for several years, how can Zhou Dan let him go like this?"

"It just started recently. For the same wood and the same merchant, the price quoted here is more than ten times that of last year. Do you think he is too courageous, so he is not afraid of finding out and losing his head?"

He Xichao said flatly: "There must be another backer behind it."

Xiao Hong was taken aback, "What?"

"Today, he told me inside and out that the 5000 taels was Zhou Da's order, and he was trying his best to fight for me. Unfortunately, Zhou Da disagreed and tried his best to persuade us to let it go. If you don't agree , don’t care that you are the King of England, be careful that Zhou Da will secretly give you small shoes to wear.”

Xiao Hong blinked and asked, "Is he trying to sow discord? Xi Chao."

"Yes, they want to replace Zhou Da."

It was because He Xichao heard this meaning that he didn't want to continue talking to Wu Weiyong, because it was unnecessary.

"However, Zhou Da has been the chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for so many years, and the emperor must have great trust in him. Wu Weiyong wants to replace him. What will he use to step down Zhou Da? Think about it, when I wanted to check the accounts, my father did not support me very much."

"Of course it depends on you and his backing."

Xiao Hong pointed to himself, "Me?" After thinking about it, he smiled, "Indeed, knowing that 20 taels was missing, but he refused to spit out even half of it, how could I be reconciled? I have to carry it with him." No."

He Xichao spread his hands, "That's it. Your holy family is prosperous, and you have just been wronged. The emperor chooses between his favorite eldest son and courtiers. He patted his head and thought that Zhou Da should also be given up. What's more, his hands and feet are not good at all. Not clean."

"But even if Zhou Da can be removed from the stage by me, it's not his turn to be the manager."

"It depends on the power of the master's pillow wind behind him. If it is well concealed, maybe Zhou Da will send him up before he comes down. The so-called confidant." Isn't it used to stab the knife.

"Pillow wind? Do you know who it is?"

He Xichao shook his head, "I guess."

"Oh..." Xiao Hong was a little disappointed, but soon asked enthusiastically, "Do you want to join Zhou Da..."

"Do you have a replacement?" He Xichao asked.

Xiao Hong was silent and shook his head.

"Do you think the emperor wants to touch him?"

Xiao Hong continued to shake his head.

"So he is greedy, but there is no candidate to replace him, so don't try to touch him, at least he is loyal to the emperor. Otherwise, if someone else takes the position, like Wu Weiyong, it will be really troublesome."

"But we have already offended him." Xiao Hong reminded.

He Xichao laughed, "It's okay, there will always be opportunities for cooperation."

The carriage swayed towards Prince Ying's mansion. Seeing He Xichao's sleepy look, Xiao Hong couldn't help but pull him to lean against him, "Why don't you sleep for a while, and I'll call you when I get back. Just lean on me Well, I'm thick, so I don't feel too shocked."

He Xichao was a little moved, but suddenly thought, and asked suspiciously: "If I fell asleep, what would you do if you not only move your hands but also your mouth?"

"..."

Xiao Hong's face immediately turned red, as if he had been punctured carefully, and he didn't dare to look at He Xichao with his eyes wandering. After talking for a long time, he finally stammered: "Nonsense, nonsense, you are still young, how could I do that to you?" kind of thing..."

He Xichao tilted his head slightly, looked at Xiao Hong who was all red from the neck up, and couldn't help sneering: "You still want to hug me and kiss me, it seems that you are still young!"

Thinking of the look in his eyes at yesterday's meeting, He Xichao was very sure that this person had already rehearsed it in his mind several times.

Fortunately, there is no such courage.

Xiao Hong was a little embarrassed and aggrieved by what was said. He said: "Well, I can't control myself. I like you. You are by my side, so I want to get closer to you."

All of them murmured to themselves: "A kiss, I don't even dare to think about it, so hugging, is it okay? Didn't you say you like me too, don't you want to hug me?"

"..."

This time it was He Xichao's turn to be speechless, and his ears felt a little hot.

There are some things that Xiao Hong can say boldly, but He Xichao cannot.Xiao Hong wanted to get closer, but He Xichao was afraid that the situation would get out of control, so he could only restrain himself from staying away, and warned him harshly.

Seeing He Xichao's silence, Xiao Hong changed his pitiful cowardice and braved up, "Xichao, there is no one here, don't worry about someone seeing it. And didn't you agree? It should be the same as before. Then you used to Needless to say, no matter whether you are tired or not, as long as you are comfortable, you can lean on me directly, and if you think my body is not thick enough, you will panic, so just lie on my lap."

He Xichao: "..." It seems that there is still nothing to say.

So Xiao Hong put his arms around He Xichao's shoulders, pulled him into his arms with a little force, and let him lie down, "Hey, it's more comfortable to pillow your thighs now."

Before He Xichao could react, he had already put him at ease.

As soon as Xiao Hong lowered his head, he could see He Xichao staring at him. He grinned and urged, "Okay, we don't have much time, so close your eyes quickly. You stayed up all night with them last night. Are you sleepy?"

When Xiao Hong is facing him, he always smiles the happiest, looking at him with his eyes, and there is only one person reflected in him, named He Xichao.

At this moment, He Xichao could see it clearly.

His nose is full of Xiao Hong's smell, which to him is the cleanest and warmest smell like the sun, which can bring a full sense of security and the happiness of smiling involuntarily.

He suddenly raised his hand and pressed it on Xiao Hong's chest.

"Xi Chao?" Xiao Hong froze slightly, and straightened his back involuntarily.

"Shh, don't talk." He Xichao closed his eyes, feeling the powerful but reassuring heartbeat.

After a while, he slowly raised his lips, because he felt that the heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and his own heart was at the same frequency.

The author has something to say: Yao: I made up your poses in my head, it's a bit... well, hehe

He Xichao: When a prostitute sees prostitution, be careful of red locks.
