Come on, Your Highness

What happened was actually very simple. Xiao Hong recalled it now because he was too complacent and lost his vigilance, which made the emperor see it.

"Sorry……"

He Xichao touched the corner of his lips slightly, and sighed softly: "There are no women around you, even the maids who serve are far away. Although the emperor did not continue to persecute you, he will definitely investigate secretly, eliminate all illusions, It's unbelievable, and sooner or later you'll know it's me."

"Xi Chao..." The guilt in Xiao Hong's eyes could overflow.

"There are two paths now." He Xi frowned, looked at Xiao Hong and said solemnly, "Either, you accept the marriage gift, and we will separate naturally; or, according to the original plan, after fighting against the enemy, we will beg the emperor for his blessing." .”

However, after he finished speaking, he smiled and shook his head: "Actually, there are no two ways. Judging from the current situation, even if you accept the marriage offer, I can't hide it."

He looked out of the window with a calm expression: "Sooner or later."

What would happen if he couldn't hide it, the best thing would be for Emperor Xicai to send him far away to be an official in a remote place, and then transfer back to Beijing when Xiao Hong's concubine and concubines gather in groups.

At that time, even if I couldn't let it go, I let it go, even if I entangled it again, it was just a romantic affair.

The worst thing is to completely remove Xiao Hong's weakness once and for all.

The friendship between the two of them grew up, and when the monarch and his ministers developed an affair, then his influence on Xiao Hong...

Emperor Tiangan is not stupid, there is such a person in the world who can influence the prince's thoughts at any time, no matter how upright and selfless he is, he will not let the emperor rest assured.

Daqi is full of talented people, maybe not as amazing as He Xichao, but it is not lacking.

But Xiao Hong is the only crown prince who is directly related to Jiangshan Sheji.

"You already knew this would happen, didn't you?" Xiao Hong asked suddenly.

He Xichao hesitated a little, but in the end he nodded lightly. He looked at Xiao Hong's eyes with a little bit of tender love: "Who made me hate you? Xiao Hong, moths to the flame, what you want is No regrets now."

Xiao Hong roared in despair: "I have caused you misery!"

But now it doesn't make any sense to say that.

He Xichao watched Xiao Hong circling around in the study irritably, worry and anxiety turned into chaotic steps, but compared to him, he was much calmer.

Probably the emperor was targeting himself, not Xiao Hong, which made him feel at ease.

He pursed his lips, and said in a low voice: "Love does not know where it comes from, but love is deep. The more restrained, the more presumptuous, the more forbearing, the more longing. If you can't overcome reason, then you don't love deeply enough..."

After he finished speaking, he laughed himself first, never knowing that there would still be times when he would be sore.

He Xichao grabbed the hot pot ant, and said: "Xiao Hong, no one can force me, I do everything willingly, so after today, will you shrink back?"

Xiao Hong's nose and eyes turned red together: "I don't want to, I want to be with you even in my dreams! But I'm afraid of hurting you, Xi Chao, I don't want to see you being implicated by me more than owning it. Today I Only then did I realize that I am so useless, facing my father, I am powerless to resist, a crown prince is nothing, I can't protect you!"

"Then are you afraid to accompany me to die?"

He Xichao's question stunned Xiao Hong, who was on the verge of collapse.

"Are you afraid?" He Xichao asked again.

Xiao Hong took a long sniff, and murmured: "I can give you my life, what am I afraid of?"

He Xichao held Xiao Hong's face in his hands, wiped away the water marks under his eyes with his fingers, and said, "Yeah, I'm not afraid, so the worst ending is that we will be a pair of desperate mandarin ducks, isn't this what we have prepared for a long time ago? In fact, as long as there is one person alive, it is all earned. And the emperor will not kill you, as long as you live, you can always ask for my life? So I will not die. "

"Then in this way, why don't we..." Xiao Hong paused.

He Xichao continued for him: "That's back to where we came from. Let's all be safe. I'll stay in the north. You're in the capital, far away from you."

Xiao Hong felt that he was too sad.

He Xichao raised his hand, clasped fingers with Xiao Hong, and comforted him: "Actually, why think so much, the battle with the Xiongnu has not yet started, everything is unknown, whether we can come back alive from the northern border is still a question Well, how to face the emperor in the future is another story. Since you have already refused to grant the marriage, you can buy another year or two. If you still have nowhere to go, it is not too late to accept your fate. Like us, we can only take a step forward One step, if it's true until death, it's worth asking for a happy moment, right?"

It's strange that when He Xichao was about to give up, Xiao Hong was fighting for it; but when Xiao Hong was afraid, He Xichao refused to give in.

There is always one person dragging the other person stumbling forward.

"The Spring Festival is less than two months away. During this period, the emperor will not take any action to prevent you from being distracted. We are safe. So do your duty and focus on On the northern border, don't get distracted by this. Even if we have to separate in the future, as long as we know each other is safe, it will be a happy ending, and death in battle is not our goal."

He Xichao's calmness is vividly reflected at this moment. Love is beautiful, but life is more fragile and precious, so it should not be given up.

In addition to him, Xiao Hong also has Emperor Tiangan and the burden of the world. Death is the most irresponsible performance.

Hearing this, Xiao Hong nodded solemnly, and held He Xichao's hand firmly, as if this would prevent him from losing him.

The days of cherishing each other always pass quickly, half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and in two days it will be the official examination of the prince's mansion, but today is the day when the eldest princess and He Mingrui get married.

This is the first big wedding of Emperor Tiangan's children, and it is a grand and lively marriage to the Duke and Lord.

As the eldest brother, Xiao Hong went to the palace early in the morning, and he carried the eldest princess on the sedan chair, and then took the younger brothers to send off to get married.

Although the Princess Mansion has already been built, the marriage ceremony was still held at Duke Wei's Mansion on the wedding day.

When the princess gets married, the long street is full of dowry, her eyes are full of red, with the sound of suona and horns, gongs, drums, and imperial guards clear the way, and the two sides are crowded with people watching the excitement.

He Mingrui rode a tall horse, dressed in a groom's red attire, with red silk wrapped around his chest, wearing a concubine hat, his face was flushed, and he came all the way to welcome the bride.

He is young and handsome, apart from the gloomy brows, he is also a handsome young man, and with the status of the heir of the Duke's Mansion, no matter how you look at it, he is a good boy with a bright future, which makes people feel that the emperor has vision.

In Wei Guogong's mansion, the table was full of guests, and all the relatives and nobles of the clan arrived with their families.

No prominent status, not even a place to stand.

Liang Guogong and Wei Guogong are on good terms, Mrs. Song also came with her daughter-in-law and granddaughter.

The eldest lady was busy going around, entertaining people up and down, she couldn't help but nodded as she watched: "There are still rules like this."

A concubine needs to look like a concubine, and Wei Guogong will make things right, so that Mrs. Song can feel at ease, otherwise she might not come here today.

The second lady on the side listened, but her face was unnatural.

She is He Mingrui's mother, but she is not in charge of this marriage.The eldest lady is busy, but she also caught the eyes of Mrs. Yuan Guogong, this is the ability of being a housewife.

Because there are few female relatives in the Duke's Mansion, relatives and relatives have already been invited to help and entertain them. Such a big scene is orderly and orderly.

The eldest lady saw her, and hurriedly greeted her and said, "It's great that Mrs. Song is here! You and your mother-in-law are handkerchiefs. Today, there are many noble old ladies. They are young, and they are afraid of being neglected. They have the cheek to ask for your help." Treat one or two."

"This is what it should be." Mrs. Song did not refuse, and brought her daughter-in-law and granddaughter into the main room.

Naturally, He Lingshan also arrived early. When she saw Song Qian, she said, "Sister Qian will come with me. The ladies are all playing in the garden behind. There are no outsiders. Please don't worry, old lady."

"Then go." Mrs. Song said.

Song Qian bowed her body and left with He Lingshan.

Nowadays, no one would mention the secret meeting three years ago. Today's Song Qian, because her father Song Zhicheng also serves as the governor of the two lakes, is no longer the same.

The news is quick to speculate on the candidate for the crown princess, but this time the emperor kept his mouth shut, and no one talked about it, probably because three years ago, the king's marriage had accidents one after another, and he became cautious.

But even so, the women around her looked at her a little differently.

As the in-laws of Duke Wei's mansion, the Li family naturally also came.

Li Qian was accused of marrying Xiao Ming early in the morning, and when she saw Song Qian, she couldn't help but feel a little subtle.

On the other hand, Song Qian smiled generously and blended in with the girls, talking about interesting things and games in the boudoir, they quickly became friends.

This made He Lingshan look at it with regret in her heart.

It's only been a month since the turmoil of the expulsion of He's residence, and the guests coming and going not only came to celebrate, they also naturally wanted to see the excitement.

He Xichao left, not only did he not lose his reputation, but his reputation was even better than before, and he didn't know if he would come here today.

In terms of kinship, it has nothing to do with Duke Wei's mansion. Ethically speaking, they are strangers, but logically, can they really be so cleanly broken?

But if you come, what identity will you come with?

While everyone was guessing, He Xichao had already dressed up and appeared handsomely and gracefully at the door.

"He Xichao, the official of the King of England, presents a congratulatory gift on behalf of His Royal Highness the King of England."

The butler led He Xichao and his entourage all the way to the Duke of Wei, no matter what other people looked at, he cupped his hands with a smile on his face and said, "Master Guo, congratulations."

This pair of eyebrows and eyes are still so outstanding and handsome, with curved lips and a slight smile in the eyes, except for the address reminding of alienation, it is still so close, just looking at it makes people like it from the bottom of their hearts.

Wei Guogong looked at He Xichao's look of no estrangement, and felt happy: "I still think you won't come today."

"As entrusted by His Highness, I have to come here to ask for a glass of wine no matter what, and look at the complexion of the Duke of the country, seeing the red light on his face, it can be seen that you have taken good care of yourself, Xi Chao can rest assured." He Xi frowned, said with a smile.

For some reason, Wei Guogong couldn't help but feel sad when he heard it, and said with emotion: "Old man, if you don't pay attention, you will really become an object of disgust. But you, leaving the He family will be like a fish in water."

I have always known that with this kid's ability, he can live a good life no matter where he goes, and there is no need to deliberately inquire about him. News of him is everywhere in the capital.

For a while, it was the selection exam for the prince's government official, and for a while, it was the public course of Yueshan Academy. Nowadays, who doesn't know that He Xichao is not only outstanding in literature, but also in arithmetic, as if there is no one in the world who can't know it.

After Wei Guogong recovered from his illness, he went to court and heard too many voices of gloating.

"I'm also grateful for the success of the Duke." Without the fetters of the He family, He Xichao was indeed relaxed.

Freed from the shackles, he will be more sincere to Wei Guogong.

When the former grandparents and grandchildren met, the atmosphere was harmonious and tender, and it seemed that their relationship was still very good.

Disappointed a lot of spectators.

Especially the members of the He family, they didn't dare to come over and say a word.
