Come on, Your Highness

Xiao Hong pulled He Xichao up to the field ridge, and the two walked slowly forward, talking.

"During my journey, I saw a lot of scholars rushing into the gate of the city. Xi Chao, next month will be Chunwei. I have never seen any candidate running outside before the exam like you."

He Xichao rubbed the mud on his hands and said in surprise: "So there is still one month left."

Xiao Hong looked at him speechlessly, "Do you know how many people are so mad at you?"

He Xichao smiled lowly, "I don't care about that."

"Today, Mr. Xie Ge glared at me several times in the hall. Did you fail to hand in some papers, and the old man stared at me because he couldn't find your person?"

He Xichao didn't speak.

Xiao Hong was shocked and said: "Really?"

"I've finished the paper, but I have a question and I want to ask the teacher. I'm going to go tomorrow, but I'm two days late."

"..." Xiao Hong sighed and persuaded, "Xi Chao, it's important to have the test."

"I know, I know what's going on in my heart, why, you've rolled your eyes for me, don't you feel happy?"

He Xichao squinted at him, Xiao Hong quickly shook his head, "How can I do that! I found out that even old men with young apprentices should not be messed with. You explained that Mr. Xie Ge usually looks like a very gentle and generous old man, why did you accept you?" After this apprentice, eyes are not eyes to me, and nose is not nose?"

He touched his chin and said doubtfully, "I didn't provoke him!"

He Xichao teased: "Probably because you have seen that your plan is not going well."

"Ah?" Xiao Hong was startled, and immediately turned his head to look at He Xichao, "Then what should we do? Shall we hold hands and beg him to help you?"

He Xichao immediately rolled his eyes to the sky, "You think too much and are picky about you because the teacher has expectations of you, His Royal Highness! If you really find out, how can you be so peaceful."

Xiao Hong thought about it, so he felt relieved, but after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, he felt very uncomfortable.

"Is there anything new in the court today?"

He Xichao's inquiry interrupted Xiao Hong's simmering bitterness, and he said, "Today, the Secretary of the Household Department resigned."

He Xichao was thinking, "He's getting old, so he should retire." But after he finished speaking, he paused again, "The vacant position..."

Xiao Hong then looked at him.

He Xi frowned, "My grandfather?"

Xiao Hong nodded, "Probably so. I wanted to ask my father, but the Ministry of Household Affairs has nothing to do with me. I was afraid that asking too many questions would be deliberate, so I didn't go to him."

He picked up a straw left by the field, shook it and said, "The household department is the top three departments, and the minister has great power. I cherish the imperial court. To be honest, I don't want him to sit in that position. Because of He Mingrui, The Li family has always supported Xiao Ming."

He Xichao nodded slightly.

Xiao Hong asked: "Then can you do anything..."

"Li Zuhui, once and for all, even if he didn't kill everyone, he shouldn't be able to escape thousands of miles, right?" He Xichao said flatly.

Xiao Hong was about to nod his head, but he glanced at He Xichao, and said cautiously: "At least it's your mother's family."

He Xichao sneered. Apart from Li Yuechan's face, he didn't feel anything about the Li family. He even felt bored when he saw those people.

Everything that happened around him always had the shadow of the Li family.

Xiao Hong shook his head and said: "It's better, you don't have Chunwei yet, if you kill your family at this time, you will lose your reputation."

"I do not mind……"

"But I care. Although they were unrighteous first, you sent them to the guillotine without any hesitation. Xi Chao, what about your mother? People outside will definitely scold you for being cruel and merciless. In order to please me, even my grandparents will kill you." Don't let it go... No, no, I feel that this matter needs to be considered in the long run, at least you must be thrown out."

He Xichao was a little surprised, "I thought you really wanted to get rid of them so quickly."

"Yeah, as long as I think of the moment that Xiong Xiazi came out from behind you, I wish I could kill He Mingrui and Li Zuhui. I haven't touched them so far because you were in front of me well and didn't hurt you."

He Xichao was slightly taken aback when he heard this.

Xiao Hong suddenly pulled his hand, pursed his lips, looked at him with lowered eyes, and said solemnly and seriously: "Xi Chao, even if He Mingrui is my brother-in-law, as long as he hurts you, even if my eldest sister cries to death in front of me, I will He must be killed too! Whether you agree or not."

Xiao Hong usually doesn't talk about the door, he is used to being a fool, he has always said something, and rarely speaks harshly, but when he speaks, he must be able to do it.

And the few times that have been counted, it seems that they are all for He Xichao.

He Xichao always told himself that he was calmer and more rational than anyone else, and that he lived so many years longer, it wasn't that the more he lived, the more he went back.

But in the face of Xiao Hong, inadvertently, the other party's words, actions, and all the kindness towards him made his heart that could not be hardened softer, and he couldn't help leaning on him.

He Xichao clearly realized that the bottom line he had drawn for himself, apart from making him more conflicted and entangled, would not be able to stop that eager heart.

At this moment, he suddenly wanted to know, if the two of them couldn't defy the world, if the two of them couldn't work hard and could only bow their heads to accept their fate, would he really be able to stay away from Xiao Hong with a trace of sadness as he imagined?

He Xichao stared blankly at Xiao Hong's more masculine and handsome face and asked himself: Can I?

He dared not think.

He withdrew his hand, very wisely discarding the question that would overturn his sanity.

The situation in the court is treacherous, and it is easier than thinking about emotions.

Thinking about it this way, he said: "If you don't move, don't move. In fact, if you think about it carefully, now is indeed not the time. If you move the Li family, He Mingrui will definitely be involved, but he just asked to marry the princess, and you slapped your father." On his face, he must be unhappy. Besides... there is no Li Shangshu, there are other people, you don't have a good candidate on hand, it is better to have someone who has a handle than someone who doesn't know the depth, don't you think? ?”

He Xichao spoke so fast that Xiao Hong, who was still immersed in his affectionate confession, didn't realize it for a while, and just nodded subconsciously, "You are right."

"As for the candidate for Princess Shun, you might as well ask the emperor if he has decided, which one is it?"

Xiao Hong asked suspiciously: "Xiao Yi? No matter how many people there are, what's the matter?"

"The Li family is now on the edge of a cliff. With such a potential danger, I want to see if I can give it to our imperial concubine, so that it can be firmly tied to Xiao Ming."

At the critical moment, He Xichao was looking forward to being able to give Xiao Ming a hand for Xiao Hong when he thought of it.

However, Xiao Hong didn't seem very excited, but frowned and looked at He Xichao with a thoughtful look on his face.

He Xi turned his face sideways and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Hong then looked at him from a different angle, pondered and said, "Xi Chao, did you change the subject on purpose just now?"

He Xichao was silent for a moment, then calmly opened his eyes, and walked forward, "Let's go back quickly, it's late, the city gate will be closed."

On the second day at the court hall, the Minister of the Household Department asked to resign again, but the emperor still refused, and his words of persuasion became more earnest, so he gave up.

After coming down to court, Xiao Hong walked into Qingzheng Hall with a memorial.

At this time, the emperor was summoning his courtiers. The little eunuch on duty led him into the side hall and made tea courteously, "His Royal Highness, the emperor estimates that it will take a while. , try it."

Xiao Hongzheng was thirsty, so he took it and drank it in one gulp, then tore off the purse on his waist, threw it directly, and said casually: "It tastes good."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" The little eunuch received the reward and put it away happily, and didn't care about Xiao Hong drinking water like a cow, wasting the one or two gold pieces of good tea, and then said, "When Lord Qin comes out, the slave will immediately report to the emperor. "

Master Qin?

which one?

Xiao Hong raised his eyebrows and said casually: "Chun Wei is coming soon, Mr. Qin is indeed busy."

"That's right." The little eunuch replied.

It's really the Minister of Rites!

Xiao Hong drank one sip at a time, and after half an hour, the little eunuch on duty came in and called, "Your Highness, the Emperor has summoned you."

"For so long, did Master Qin dissatisfy his father and was scolded?"

The little eunuch said: "How can it be? Your lord was in a good mood when he left, with a smile on his face. It's a good thing."

Oh……

Xiao Hong walked into the main hall of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Tiangan looked up at him, "Yesterday, there was no sign of running away, but today I have waited for such a long time and didn't leave. Is there something important?"

Xiao Hong finished his salutation and said, "Is it a good thing to greet you? Let's have lunch by the way."

The corner of Emperor Tiangan's mouth curled up, a smile appeared in his eyes, and he said affirmatively, "Forget it."

When Eunuch Huang heard it, he was immediately happy, "Then this old slave will order the imperial dining room to cook some dishes that His Highness likes."

Xiao Hong reminded: "Don't forget that loquat dew."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will never forget."

The little eunuch came in with a chair, Xiao Hong pulled it towards Emperor Tiangan, and said: "I just saw Mr. Qin, smiling like a flower on his face, so happy, if it wasn't for his age, I guess I can still jump up and down a few times. Father, what did you reward this old man so excited about?"

Emperor Tiangan waved to him.

Xiao Hong got up and walked over to have a look. There were two dates written on the paper, the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month this year, and the [-]th of February next year.

"What is it?" Xiao Hong wondered.

"Stupid." Emperor Tiangan scolded with a smile, "This is the best wedding day calculated by Qintian monitoring, and there is still time to prepare. If they get married on the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month, it is just this year that the young couple can marry each other." We lived together, but it was too cold, February [-]th, it was a bit long."

Speaking of this, Xiao Hong suddenly realized, then twitched the corners of his mouth, and said unhappily: "So it is to marry a wife for the second brother, so it is the Qin family?"

"Yes, what do you think?"

Xiao Hong said honestly: "It seems to be a little different from my time."

Emperor Tiangan nodded, and said in a calm tone, "You are the eldest son of the emperor, so it is naturally different."

Hearing this, Xiao Hong couldn't help grinning, he laughed twice, picked up the tea in Emperor Tiangan's hand and said affectionately: "Well, father, you drink tea."

Emperor Tiangan accepted it calmly.

Xiao Hong hesitated for a moment and asked, "I just don't know if Empress Lan and the second brother are satisfied?"

"She is self-aware that the Qin family is already among her favorite candidates." It's just not the ideal one.

"Oh, then if you are not sure which day to choose, let him choose it himself, or let Concubine Lan choose it." Xiao Hong suggested.

Emperor Tiangan then summoned Eunuch Huang to come in and ordered: "Send it to Zhongcui Palace and let Concubine Lan choose one as soon as possible."

As soon as Eunuch Huang left, Emperor Tiangan looked back at Xiao Hong, "Is it really just here to say hello?"

Xiao Hong rolled his eyes, took out the warm cover from his sleeve, raised the brightest smile and presented it to Emperor Tiangan with both hands: "Father, please take a look at this."
