Come on, Your Highness

When Xiao Hong came back from the palace, the Palace of Prince Ying was already busy with his trip under He Xichao's arrangement.

It has only been two months since I came back from Jiangdong, and I have to go north to fight against the enemy. Mother Shen and the others looked at Xiao Hong, feeling distressed and didn't know what to say, so they could only list all the things they needed for the trip with Xinrui as much as possible , Organize and pack one by one.

This time, without any persuasion from Nanny Shen, Xiao Hong said: "Mommy, you can pretend to be whatever you want, and I will take them away, especially fur materials, tidy up more, it's too cold over there."

"Yes, Your Highness, oh..." Shen Momo responded, and hurriedly told Xinrui to sort things out again.

"By the way, there is Xi Chao, you have to be more careful, don't miss anything. He is weak, and the conditions there are really hard. Don't forget the tonic of ginseng and deer antler. The stove and carbon can hold everything." Pretend, there are many soldiers, don't be afraid."

Xiao Hong himself didn't ask questions, but he gave He Xichao instructions and instructions.

Xinrui smiled and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, this servant will not forget. When the time comes, we will meet with the He Mansion. If there is anything missing, we will make up for it."

"Then make two copies. I'd rather bring more than have nowhere to look." Xiao Hong said smoothly.

However, these words made Mammy Shen stop her hands. She looked at Xiao Hong with hesitation on her face, but she seemed to hold it in her heart for a long time, and she had to say it.

In the end, she offered her blessing to Xiao Hongfu, and said solemnly: "Your Highness, this servant is bold, can I ask you something?"

The smile on Xiao Hong's face gradually disappeared, and he glanced at the door.

He Xichao returned to the He Mansion, and he won't be back for a while, so he nodded: "Ma'am, let's ask."

Xinrui, who was still adding orders, put down her pen when she heard the words, and silently told the maids to go down, she closed the door, and then stood quietly aside.

Mother Shen folded her hands in front of her body, looking respectful and serious, she said: "Your Highness, this servant is the dowry mother of the empress, from the moment she comes to the empress's side, she will be the person of the empress and her highness for the rest of her life, the servant asks herself to be loyal No two. The empress passed away, and only Your Highness was left behind, and the slave servant dedicated his heart to you. Although it is out of dignity to say this, it is true that the slave servant not only regards you as the master, but also loves you as his own child. In the future, you will be able to To die in this palace is the greatest destination for slaves."

After hearing this, Xiao Hong also said with emotion: "Nurse Shen, I also remember the kindness you have treated me. If it weren't for your protection, Hong'er would not have grown up."

Shen Momo's eyes were reddish, she was relieved, then took a deep breath and said: "Your Highness, you are now the crown prince, and you will follow the emperor to inherit the throne in the future. Have you considered this heir?"

Although Xiao Hong concealed some things very well, how could the people who have been serving him all the year round not see it.

In the early years, the two were still young, and they didn't think about that, but now Xiao Hong is eighteen, almost nineteen.

In ordinary people's homes, the eldest son could already walk unsteadily, but there was still no one around Xiao Hong, not even a concubine or a bed warmer.

It's not that Shen Momo didn't prepare for a beautiful, knowledgeable woman, and even made insinuations about what she liked, but every time she mentioned it, Xiao Hong would either gossip about him, or be busy and not in the mood.

What kind of mood is needed here? Doesn't there need to be relieved in that regard?

It's just that he is the master after all, so it's not good to ask directly if you have doubts.

Eunuch Chang is as old as she is, and Xiao Hong is young and energetic and runs around, and he can't take care of him, so he spends most of his time in charge of the front yard of the King's Mansion and some trivial matters.Normally, Xiao Dunzi and Xiao Xuanzi went in and out of Xiao Hong, so they couldn't hear any news from Eunuch Chang.

All the clues began to appear after returning from Jiangzhou.

There is only one master in the British Palace, and everyone naturally pays attention to him.

Shen Momo and the others are old people around them, no matter how cautious Xiao Hong is, his words, his eyes, and the excessive intimacy that they may not even realize, all point to a possibility.

The companionship since childhood, the friendship of cousins, and the existence of being both a teacher and a friend, it is impossible for the high-ranking prince to care about and cherish someone so much, so close that he wants to stick together, and he is the only one he can see.

This is not because they are thinking too much, but after several observations, all possible conclusions have been ruled out.

He Xichao knew everything about Prince Ying's mansion, his orders were just like Xiao Hong himself, no one refuted, no one questioned, it was a matter of course.

Anyone who applied eye drops in front of Xiao Hong afterward, and accused He Xichao of overreaching both openly and secretly, would be found to be gone after a careful inspection.

It can be said that there is not only one master in the Yingwang Palace, but also He Xichao.

Shen Momo was sure that even if the concubine came in in the future, she would not be able to obtain such great power from Xiao Hong.

That was no longer trust, but something deeper, as if Xiao Hong was giving everything to please.

There is no need to please the monarch and ministers, only between men and women, if you want to make him happy, you will use what you have to please him!

When she guessed this fact, Nanny Shen really couldn't sleep or eat at ease, but the emperor announced the appointment of the crown prince, and then there was news that he would marry the crown princess, and she felt at ease again.

After all, Fen Tao Duan Xiu has existed since ancient times, as long as it does not delay the succession of the family and does not bring it to the table, Xiao Hong's status is fine.

In Shen's eyes, Xiao Hong is good everywhere, he is perfect, and there is nothing wrong with it.

And Xiao Hong has great ambitions, how could he give up the throne in love?

But unexpectedly, the prince canonization was ahead of schedule, but there was no news of the prince concubine.

Thinking of He Xichao, thinking of Xiao Hong's violent gaffe during this period, and even that night of crying red eyes, Mother Shen was too worried.

To this day, listening to Xiao Hong's heart and eyes for He Xichao, she couldn't hold back anymore and asked.

Heir?

Xiao Hong didn't seem surprised by this question, and his eyes didn't reveal much surprise.

He turned his head to see Xinrui, who was also worried, looking at him eagerly waiting for his answer.

Xiao Hong licked his lips, and said in a deep voice: "I can't answer this question for you for the time being. But since you know everything, that's good. I don't have to be in my own mansion anymore, and I have to cover up and sneak around. Get close to him."

"Your Highness!" Shen Momo and Xinrui couldn't believe it, "Do you know what you are doing?"

Hearing this, Xiao Hong raised the corners of his lips, with a smile in his eyes, and hummed: "Nurse Shen, Aunt Xinrui, I have realized that I like him for more than three years, and I have thought it through very clearly for such a long time. .”

"Where is the princess, don't you want it too?" Nanny Shen's eyes turned red instantly.

Xiao Hong shook his head: "I don't want it. If I want it, I will lose him."

"If you don't want a concubine, you won't have an emperor and grandson. Your Highness, do you still want to become a great treasure? How could the emperor pass on the throne to a prince who is entangled with his courtiers and doesn't even want an heir?" Shen Momo asked.

Xiao Hong fell silent, he didn't know.

"What about He Xichao?" Xinrui finally couldn't help but said, "Could it be that he can just watch His Highness have nothing, that's too..."

No matter how dissatisfied he was with He Xichao, there was no one in the Ying Palace who could say anything wrong about him.Otherwise, Xiao Hong, who is now amiable and cheerful, would be frightened and angry the next moment.

Xinrui found sadly that she dared not use her affection as an old man to try.

"Your Highness, this is not a small matter. The emperor will be furious if he knows it. You have no results." Shen Momo said earnestly.

"Everything, Xichao has asked me, and I have thought about it, so you don't need to talk about it. Me and him, I am a high-ranking prince, and he is just a small courtier. Anyway, no matter who is right or wrong, it belongs to everyone. On his head, I owe him. In the future, no matter what the outcome is in the future, my heart for him will never change. If I don’t make it to the end, I will love and respect him even more.”

Xiao Hong's eyes fell on the two of them: "Nurse, Auntie, you are dedicated to me, and Hong'er also hopes that you will respect the person I love, don't make things difficult for him, please help me take care of him together."

"Your Highness...why are you just like the Empress, you don't care about yourself at all?" Shen Momo was heartbroken.

Xiao Hong smiled and denied it: "No way, I'm selfish, I'm only happy when he's happy, and I can do things with peace of mind when he's all right! You just love Wu and Wu and treat him like a princess. In this regard, Eunuch Chang is more open than the two of you, and he consciously covers it up for us."

Xiao Hong spoke with a smile, but blocked the words of both of them.

And here He Mansion,

After hearing He Xichao's words, Li Yuechan's eyes instantly turned red, and tears fell down one by one.

He Xichao comforted her with a headache and heartache: "There is nothing we can do in the face of a national crisis. Mom, if you think about it, your son is going to make contributions, and he will be back in a year or two soon."

Since leaving Duke Wei's mansion, Li Yuechan's life can be described as comfortable, but she never thought that her son would have to go to such a dangerous place in just two months.

"You can't carry it on your shoulders, you can't lift your hands, what can you do? It's a war, or the Huns, just thinking about it can scare people to death! How can His Royal Highness let you go with it? It's very cold over there, and the food is not good. I can't sleep well, I'm worried, Xi Chao, tell the prince not to let you go."

Li Yuechan was very clear about his son's body, her watery eyes were pleading.

"Where can you want to go or not?" He Xichao said dumbfoundingly, "Your Highness is the commander in chief. Even in a war, you will be in the middle army. It won't be too dangerous. Besides, I can't go to the battlefield with me. I don't want to drag others down, but It’s just processing some documents for His Highness in the city. Mom, don’t worry, it’s very safe.”

is it?

Li Yuechan didn't know, and neither did she.

Although she is cowardly and has no opinion, but because of this, she cried a few words, heard the determination in her son's words, and knew that she couldn't change it, so she could only choke a few times and let it go.

"Then take good care of yourself, mother is only you, be careful in everything!"

She held He Xichao's hand, her eyes were full of dependence and reluctance.

He Xichao smiled and patted her hand: "Don't worry, when His Royal Highness returns victorious this time, my son will definitely be promoted to another promotion, and then you will be even more glorious."

"If the scenery is not beautiful, mother will not ask, as long as you come back safely."

"Don't worry, mother, my son takes orders." General He Xichao wiped her eyes with a handkerchief.

"There are still ten days left, and I don't know if it will be too late, by the way, Chunxiang." Suddenly Li Yuechan said.

Chunxiang walked in and bowed: "Ma'am?"

"Turn out all those good leathers and send them to cut a few cloaks and jackets. By the way, there are half-made inners. I'll hurry up."

"Mother, don't waste your eyes." He Xichao persuaded.

But Li Yuechan looked at him with tears in her eyes: "Don't worry about it, I feel uncomfortable in my heart, and I just think about it when I'm free, which makes me even sadder."

As soon as these words came out, He Xichao shut his mouth.

Chunxiang responded and went down to tidy up.

Looking at her back, Li Yuechan suddenly thought of it and said, "Look at me, I almost forgot, Chunxiang is over twenty, and should have been married long ago. Xichao, I see that the nursing homes in the mansion are pretty good, especially It's the leader, look..."

"Ah? Isn't that too old? I think it's almost thirty! Chunxiang is only twenty... one?" After He Xichao finished speaking, he immediately sighed.

In a blink of an eye, Chunxiang's bluffing little girl, Pianzi, has grown into a big girl. Thinking about it, she is right, she is going to be sixteen... and she has an early love with Xiao Hong.

He didn't pay much attention to these things, but when Li Yuechan reminded him, he felt that he was negligent.

"It's a bit big, but the important thing is that the person is reliable. Originally, I was going to mention it to you in the Duke's mansion, but after I came out, I couldn't find any good people for a while. Chunxiang has served me for so many years. , have been doing my best, always looking for someone to rely on. I asked Steward Wang, there is no one in Fan Jiang's family, and it happens to be in our He Mansion. He is older and will love others. With us here, he is not afraid of being bullied. Chunxiang."

This makes sense, the guards in the He residence were all sent by Xiao Hong, so they must know the basics.

"Would Chunxiang like it herself? Don't let us think it's good, people think it's too old?"

Marriage in later generations will depend on your love and my wish, and the twisted melon is not sweet.

But Li Yuechan covered her mouth and laughed, and gave He Xichao an angry look: "What a fool, if she doesn't like it, can mother tell you about thirty? When a girl grows up, she always has her own plans."

Li Yuechan has only had such a son in her life, and she is still away from home all year round.

Chunxiang has been with her since she was a child, and she can be regarded as half a daughter. When she mentions this family, her eyes are bright, but it dilutes He Xi's sadness about going north.

"Then I have no objection, as long as she likes it, let's give a bigger dowry." He Xichao said.

"It's fine if you agree." Li Yuechan nodded, and said, she glanced at He Xichao, "There's also your Xia He, who is not younger than Chunxiang. Xichao, if you don't want to take it, you have to make a plan."

The author has something to say: Xiao Hong: I know both of these, who else can I hide?

Yao: Sooner or later we can't hide it!
