Come on, Your Highness

When Xiao Hong returned to Jing'an Palace, He Xichao was writing in the study.

He glanced at him and asked, "Xi Chao, what are you doing?"

"Writing a letter, I have been in the palace for three days, and I have to tell my mother that I am safe." He Xichao said and put down the pen, dried the ink, folded it, and carefully put it in the envelope.

He still had a letter in his hand, signed by Wei Guogong, Xiao Hong saw it and asked: "Xi Chao, what are you writing?"

"Your recent situation." He Xichao replied casually.

Hearing this, Xiao Hong stared, a little unbelievable. Seeing He Xi turning his gaze, he managed to suppress the bitterness of betrayal and asked, "My grandfather supported Xiao Ming, but you are still doing things for him. Tell him everything about your situation, what do you mean?"

He Xichao lifted his chin and said, "When questioning your teammates, can you ask for proof first and read the letter, otherwise I will think you are stupid."

Xiao Hong choked for a moment and thought it made sense, so he took a quick look at it, and found that what was said in the letter was what everyone else knew, so he scratched his head embarrassedly, and apologized: "I'm sorry, Xi Chao, I misunderstood you. "

He Xichao nodded, "I accept your apology for the first time, and we will break up next time."

"so serious?"

"A team without trust, the farther it goes, the sooner it will die. For the sake of my life, withdraw as soon as possible." When He Xichao said this, his tone was not angry or ridiculed. Shake, he is serious.

Looking at He Xichao's clear and bright eyes, Xiao Hong was touched in his heart, and assured him loudly, "It won't happen."

"I believe you." He Xichao smiled, tilted his head, and asked the letter in his hand, "Since I read it, did you find anything?"

Xiao Hong was puzzled when he heard the words, read the letter again, and finally said solemnly: "Grandpa threatened you with your mother and asked you to report my situation to him at any time, didn't you?"

"Not really stupid." He Xichao praised, "But he doesn't mean anything against you, he just wants to see if you still have hope."

Xiao Hong immediately understood Wei Guogong's plan. Although as the helm of a huge family, it is understandable to wait and see before standing in line and choose someone with more potential to support.But Xiao Hong still felt betrayed by swaying from side to side like grass on the wall, which was very uncomfortable.

"I want to become strong." Xiao Hong clenched his fists and looked firm.

He Xi raised his eyebrows, satisfied, "Come on, tell me what's going on in the main hall of the Qing Dynasty."

Today, Emperor Tiangan finished approving the memorial early, and then looked at Eunuch Huang.

Eunuch Huang took out a stack of paper from his sleeve, presented it to the emperor respectfully, and said, "Your Majesty, the craftsman has already drawn the solution on the paper. The old slave asked about it. There are so many styles of Mo Naihe. The one in the eldest prince's hand is called Twelve Locks." , It’s already very complicated, it’s a new trick created by craftsmen a few days ago. The First Prince likes to play with these gadgets, so they were sent to Jing’an Palace immediately.”

When it was presented to the emperor, the solution of the blueprint was very clear, and Emperor Tiangan knew the key lock when he saw it.

So that's the case, he smiled slightly, and started to piece together, a complete one appeared in a short while.

He played with Mo Naihe and asked, "Where's Hong'er?"

Eunuch Huang replied: "The Eldest Prince has already left Jing'an Palace half a quarter of an hour ago, and he will be here soon." As soon as he finished speaking, the little eunuch at the gate of the hall came in and told, "Your Majesty, the Eldest Prince is asking to see you."

Emperor Tiangan sat up straight, "Xuan."

This sound was louder than usual, which showed that not only Xiao Hong was looking forward to it, but also Emperor Tiangan wanted to show his father's strength urgently.

Xiao Hong was stunned as he watched Tiangan integrate the parts one by one, finally forming a complete Mo Naihe.

He stared blankly at Mo Naihe and didn't say a word for a long time.

Emperor Tiangan picked up the teacup in his hand and smiled complacently, "Hong'er, what's the matter, do you look stupid?"

Xiao Hong raised his hand and took Mo Naihe into his hand, which still carried the warmth of Emperor Tiangan's palm. For some reason, he suddenly had the urge to cry.

Looking up, he said from the bottom of his heart, "Father, you are so kind."

It's not because Emperor Tiangan taught him how to solve it, but because of him, even if he didn't know how to do it, he specially found a way. This intention moved Xiao Hong.

Xiao Hong's reaction gave Emperor Tiangan a great sense of accomplishment, the expression on his face was relaxed and happy, and his speech was rare and gentle, "Have you learned it?"

Xiao Hong naturally knew it long ago, but he still begged, "Can you demonstrate it to me again?"

That must be done. Emperor Tiangan moved more slowly this time, and even explained it, especially the key steps. He said it three times, which is really rare patience.

This kind of opportunity for father and son to get close to each other, Xiao Hong never dared to expect extravagantly, but he didn't think it was actually very simple.

He is a father, why can't he be close to him as a son?

He Xichao said this many times, and Xiao Hong didn't understand until now.

Xiao Hong cherished this evening very much, and he didn't want to go back to Jing'an Palace, but Emperor Tiangan, who had released Concubine Shu once, wanted to go for a walk in the harem.

Xiao Hong then asked: "Father, my son will get a new one in the future, can I ask you for help?"

Emperor Tiangan agreed, seeing Xiao Hong's instantly smiling face, he felt that he couldn't be too obedient, so he reprimanded him with a straight face: "Playing with these little things all day long, so that you can study hard, do you take it to heart?"

Speaking of reading, Xiao Hong's eyes drifted away.

Seeing his virtue, Emperor Tiangan felt a headache, "Have you been to the study for a few days?"

Xiao Hong lowered his head and said, "Master's speech is boring."

Emperor Tiangan reprimanded him with a cold face: "Xu Zhi is a great Confucian who studied Confucian classics, and his knowledge is excellent. It is your honor to listen to his lectures. You can still like it or not? Go tomorrow, or you will take those in your palace." Messy stuff."

"Ah?" Xiao Hong was shocked.

Emperor Tiangan saw his face being struck by lightning and felt relieved, but said with a sneer on his face, "Since you changed your companion as you wished, if He Xichao can't let you learn well, let him go back as soon as possible."

As soon as this remark came out, Xiao Hong immediately compromised, "Don't, don't, my son will go tomorrow, don't let Xichao go." He still defended He Xichao, "My son can't read, it has nothing to do with Xichao, he will ask for help in the future." Exam champion."

"It's good to know, get out."

Xiao Hong didn't dare to miss it any more, and rolled away in a hurry.

Emperor Tiangan scolded for a while, in a good mood, and turned his head to Eunuch Huang, saying: "Notify the manufacturing office, and send the new Mo Naihe here first. When you look back, find one of each style."

Eunuch Huang took the order immediately.

He understood Emperor Tiangan's intentions, if the eldest prince came to ask a new trick again, and the emperor couldn't solve it on the spot like this time, it would be better to find an excuse to hide for a while.

Xiao Hong sat opposite He Xichao with a sad face, the latter was a little confused, "Isn't it just going to the study room, after resting for so many days, it's time to go, why are you making such a horrible appearance?"

"I do not want to go."

He Xichao looked at him for a moment, then understood, "Afraid of being discussed?"

"Ah."

In the study room, there are not only the lecturers, but also the princes and grandchildren, clan relatives, a bunch of children, big and small, involved in various relationships.

Of course, as the former prince, he must be the most dazzling one who is embraced by everyone and complimented by everyone.

Now the bubble of brilliance due to status is bursting, how much flattery you used before, how much you will be ridiculed now, how much flattery you were before, how much contempt now, trampling on the highs and the lows, these are the innate abilities of these children of the famous family .

Xiao Hong was too young and didn't have such a good temper. He didn't want to face these things, so he didn't go to the study after the ban was lifted.

He Xichao asked: "In the study room, apart from the master, who is the highest status?"

Xiao Hong thought for a while, and finally realized, "...me."

"So, what are you afraid of? They don't dare to insult you directly, and taunt you in front of you, just roll their eyes, look contemptuously, just ignore them."

Xiao Hong also understood in his heart, but still couldn't help muttering: "But that feeling..."

"Uncomfortable?"

Xiao Hong nodded.

"If I had asked you to choose between facing the emperor or those children the first day I came, which one do you think you would choose?"

At that time, Emperor Tiangan was simply a scourge to Xiao Hong, so there was no need to even think about the answer.

He Xichao patted him on the shoulder, "Look, you've already touched the dragon's claws, why are you afraid of some bad little badgers?"

"Why are you so light in your eyes?" Xiao Hong wondered.

"I've said it all, experience."

Where the hell did you get your experience from?

The more Xiao Hong gets along with He Xichao, the more he feels that this person is an enigma, finally he couldn't help stretching out his hand to pinch He Xichao's face, "Tell me, are you a fox?"

He Xichao slapped the hands off his face, puffed up his cheeks and glared, "You're a vixen, everyone said you're smart, smart, smart, it's because you, a stupid pig, don't have a good brain."

Xiao Hong wasn't angry at all when he was scolded, on the contrary, he felt that He Xichao, whose eyes were spitting fire, was much more human and cuter than the old-fashioned one.

Seeing He Xichao who was less than his neck, he picked him up in a moment of excitement, and said in circles: "That's great, Xichao, you chose me!"

He Xichao was really dizzy from this idiot's anger. With this little arm strength, he still wanted to play high-handed games. He didn't want to kill himself to do it!

"You put me down, you will break up with me if you fall!"

He Xichao was so annoyed by Xiao Hong that he forgot to ask about the serious matter, who was the master who went to the study and what was his background?

Xiao Hong said: "There are several masters, but it is always Xu Zhi, the director of the Imperial Academy."

He Xichao didn't know him, so he asked: "How is he, is the class interesting?"

Speaking of this, Xiao Hong curled his lips, "Pedantic, old-fashioned, very boring, listening to half a cup of tea is enough to fall asleep."

He Xichao was a little skeptical. After all, Xiao Hong was a typical problem student, and it would be useless to be a good teacher if he didn't listen in class.

"Headmaster of the Imperial Academy, you must be very knowledgeable, which book are you reading now?"

Xiao Hong looked up at the ceiling and said nothing.

"do not know?"

"Ahem, I haven't had class for a long time..." Xiao Hong blushed a little, but seeing He Xichao carefully prepared his books, pen and ink, he asked in surprise, "Are you still preparing for the number one examination?"

He Xichao hummed, "I've inquired about it. If you don't enter the Imperial Academy or the cabinet, you won't study well, and it will be very difficult for you to be promoted in the future. I originally wanted to ask my grandfather to find a teacher for me, who knows that I will be your companion, please. It’s a blessing, it’s even better to have ready-made Imperial Academy lecturers to teach.”

"You are really ambitious." Xiao Hong's eyes were full of awe. He himself was a poor student, and he admired people who were really educated. "Don't worry, when I go further in the future, I will definitely make you a high-ranking official."

Seeing his boastful appearance, He Xichao couldn't help pouring cold water on him: "When you are in power, you have to wait until the Year of the Monkey is over. I can't pass the exam as quickly as myself."

Xiao Hong thought about the age of Emperor Tiangan and He Xichao, it seemed that he really didn't need him, so he could only sigh deeply, feeling tired.

The author has something to say: He Xichao: I'm not boasting. It's only been a decade or so since I was admitted to Jinshi. Can you be the emperor?

Xiao Hong: ...Generally it is not possible, father emperor Qianqiu Zhengsheng.

He Xichao: I knew you were not to be expected.
