Come on, Your Highness

Both father and son did not speak, one buried his head in eating, and the other lost his soul.

Eunuch Huang didn't even bother with the cloth, and stood in the corner as air, looking into Xiao Hong's gaze, and only expressed one word - Gao.

The little eunuch outside probed his head, Eunuch Huang walked out quietly, the little eunuch said: "The imperial concubine sent someone to send a bowl of lotus seed soup."

Eunuch Huang looked at the food box presented by the little eunuch, took it, turned around and entered the door, and put it quietly in the corner.

At this moment, even the dragon liver and phoenix marrow that was delivered could not compare to the first prince's bowl of white rice.

After Emperor Tiangan finished eating, he put down his chopsticks. Xiao Hong came back to his senses and quickly handed him a cup of tea. He said with a sneer, "I forgot to cook the soup, and you will."

Emperor Tiangan glanced at Xiao Hong's hand lightly, and then asked, "Why did you hurt your hand?"

Xiao Hong didn't care and said: "Oh, when cutting the rice, I was not skilled with the sickle. I scratched it, and this scar is the deepest. The scab has already formed, and it will disappear soon."

"Have you let the imperial doctor see it, don't leave a scar."

"I've seen it. As soon as Mother Shen saw it, she hurriedly called the imperial doctor. It's actually just a small injury." Xiao Hong retracted, touched the scar, and suddenly Fulin felt his heart, and leaned over cheaply, " Are you touched and distressed?"

Looking at the bad smiling face that suddenly approached, Emperor Tiangan didn't know whether to admit it or deny it, so he could only take a sip of tea and leisurely leave a comment: "There are no rules, no rules."

Having said that, there was still a smile in his eyes, "Tell me, what reward do you want?"

"Then are you happy?" Xiao Hong looked at Emperor Tiangan expectantly, without blinking his eyes, the latter could only nod helplessly.

Xiao Hong then showed a big smile, "Father, today is your birthday. What my son did is not for your praise, nor for rewards. As long as you tell me that you are very happy, that is enough. After all, for The happiest thing for a person to give is that the other party can understand this kindness."

After Xiao Hong finished speaking, he brought up the food box that Eunuch Huang had arranged, and walked out of the main hall of the Qing Dynasty, looking very happy.

Eunuch Huang carefully asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to rest?"

Emperor Tiangan looked at the thick booklet on the table, and suddenly smiled and said, "He said, will I make longevity noodles for me next year?"

"Yes, this old slave also heard what the First Prince said."

"Steaming rice this year, next year, he doesn't shy away from anything."

Eunuch Huang said: "At first sight, the eldest prince is not a person who sticks to trifles. He dares to think and act, and I'm afraid he doesn't bother to be such a gentleman. Looking at Daqi, he can eat meals cooked by his son. See you more, this old slave is really happy for the emperor."

Yes, Emperor Tiangan was shocked today and lost his composure. The emperor's dignity was so cold that he felt more and more lonely. Xiao Hong's intimacy and presumptuousness seemed to warm him with a ray of sunshine, and he was greedy for it.

It turns out that he can also touch the family happiness of ordinary people.

Emperor Tiangan can remember this bowl of rice for a lifetime, and it was made by his son himself. He even wanted to ask the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, who has enjoyed such treatment?

"Huang Ji, you said that since Hong'er was not looking for congratulatory gifts for me, why did he open the queen's private treasury?"

"Well, this old slave guesses that the First Prince is probably..."

"I'm short of money."

As soon as Xiao Hong returned to Jing'an Palace, he asked, "Where is Xi Chao?"

"Master Xichao is in the study."

Xiao Hong nodded, walked over calmly, opened the door, then closed it unhurriedly, and then...

"Xiao Hong, you idiot, put it down for my young master!"

He Xichao kicked his legs angrily, kicking some crazy idiot who picked him up without saying a word, pinched Xiao Hong's ear with both hands and pulled it out, wondering why this person was crazy.

Xiao Hong didn't seem to feel the pain at all, instead he yelled strangely: "Xi Chao, Xi Chao, I'm really going crazy with joy, you know what I just saw, it feels like this life is worth it!" He hugged He Xichao like crazy Going around in circles, if you don't want people to know, you might have to yell.

After struggling for a while, the small and weak He Xichao rolled his eyes to the ceiling and gave up resisting.

He vowed to eat an extra bowl of rice every day, damn it, it's too embarrassing.

After Xiao Hong finished going crazy, he looked down at He Xichao's frosty face before putting him down with a sneer, and smoothed the wrinkles of his clothes, "I'm just a little too happy, don't mind."

"No, I'm very concerned. If you can't explain why, this matter will never end." He Xichao crossed his arms and looked at him coldly.

Xiao Hong scratched his head, and described the scene in the Qingzheng Hall carefully, "Can you imagine that the father was moved to tears, my God! I almost screamed!"

"It's a big fuss." He Xichao snorted, but he could understand Xiao Hong's gaffe, but he still reminded, "Don't get carried away, if you don't pay attention to anyone because of this favor, it will be a disaster sooner or later."

"Don't worry, I'm sensible."

He Xichao nodded, "I hope so, I hope you didn't belittle other people's gifts in front of the emperor."

"..." Xiao Hong felt a little guilty after hearing this.

When He Xichao looked at his erratic eyes, he knew that this guy was a little flustered, "What do you say?"

"I just said that they are fighting for fame, and I'm not wrong." Xiao Hong said disapprovingly, "Didn't Xiao Ming's thousand-character scroll and his auspicious words attract the praise of the emperor and the eyes of the courtiers? "

He Xi rolled his eyes at him, "Everyone can tell, and the emperor knows it well, but do you need to say it? Especially since you are their elder brother."

"Brother?" Xiao Hong sneered, "When did they treat me as an elder brother, who wouldn't want to try their best to step on me?"

It is also Xiao Hong's character to be so clear about grievances and grievances. He Xichao smiled, then shook his head and said: "But the emperor doesn't think about this, maybe I said this a bit early, but it's a precautionary measure. If you keep cross-eyed with Xiao Ming and the others Same, the emperor will be worried."

"What are you worried about? Am I going to harm them? They just don't come to harm me. The forces behind each of them are stronger than me." Xiao Hong said dissatisfied.

"Hey, you're really right." He Xichao looked at him and said in a low voice, "Guess, who is the emperor's favorite prince?"

Xiao Hong's heart skipped a beat. He had an answer, but he didn't dare to say it.

He Xichao giggled, "If you don't say it, then don't say it. No matter how powerful the power behind it is or how many courtiers support it, the emperor will have the final say on who will sit in that chair, right?"

"It's natural."

"If the emperor has something to belong to, then what is he most worried about?"

"what?"

"The prince's attitude towards his brothers. No matter how the emperor ascended the throne, as a father, he would not want to see the new prince ascend the throne, but the other sons have no future."

Xiao Hong frowned, "If they are honest, who has time to find them uncomfortable?"

He Xi raised his eyebrows, and seeing Xiao Hong take it in automatically, he couldn't help but bend his lips, "Seizing the heir is cruel, there is any possibility, who is willing to give up. But it hasn't started yet, you and Xiao Ming already have The estrangement, it seems that the contradiction is getting deeper and deeper, this has to make the emperor think more, if it really comes to that moment, will you care about a little bit of brotherhood? And can he really give up his position to you with confidence?"

Xiao Hong pursed his lips, feeling shocked, he didn't expect to go so far.

He is the son of the empress and the eldest son. From the perspective of the clan, he is the most special and undisputed candidate for the crown prince. All the concubines in the harem who gave birth to princes and are determined to fight for the throne all regard him as a thorn in their eyes, because they will pull him down. Only other princes are eligible to compete.

The younger brothers are staring at each other, Xiao Hong will go to get close to him, it is a ghost, oh, he has been close before, and then the status of prince is gone.

"Father is making things difficult for me." Xiao Hong said.

"Although the ten fingers are different in length, they are connected to the heart after all. Imagine that you can protect me so much, but hate Xiao Ming and the others. Could it be that I am more honored than the prince and closer to my brothers?"

Xiao Hong said as a matter of course: "Although I don't agree with this sentence, you are of course more important to me than them, but I have to admit that my father seems to think so. He doesn't want to see me belittle those brothers. It's just that ...Let me get close on purpose, Xi Chao, I'm afraid I won't be able to pretend."

"You don't need a hot face and a cold ass, as long as the emperor thinks that you have the style of an elder brother and take care of your younger siblings, that's enough. After all, you will be leaving the house soon, and the time you usually meet will be much less. "

Xiao Hong clicked his tongue, "Trouble."

He Xichao said with a smile: "Don't be annoyed, those who are not in single-child families have this kind of trouble. You let me think about what we should do. By the way, we only have a few days to go to the study room, so we always have to eat the last dinner."

On the holiday after the Thousand Autumn Festival, He Xichao returned to Duke Wei's mansion.

After dinner, he sat at the desk in Sansong Hall and asked with a smile: "Grandfather, how much do you think the glazed pagoda of the imperial concubine is worth?"

Wei Guogong glanced at him and said: "The old man asked you if you want to find a congratulatory gift for the eldest prince, but you refused."

He Xichao nodded, with the same smile, "That's right, there are less than ten days before the Qianqiu Festival to ask grandson, but I don't know how long it took you to find this glazed pagoda?"

Wei Guogong picked up the teacup.

He Xi moved forward slightly, propped his head on one hand and stared at Wei Guogong, watching Wei Guogong sipping tea carefully, his every move was extremely graceful and slow.

But no matter how slow he was, he would finish his drink, He Xichao asked, "Grandson, can I pour you another glass?"

In terms of patience, He Xichao has plenty.

After all, Wei Guogong was wronged and said, "What do you want?"

"You haven't answered your grandson's question yet, how much is the glass pagoda?"

"1 million taels."

He Xichao twitched slightly, and said in a cold voice: "Xichao is young, but he is not so easy to fool, where can I buy 1 taels?"

Wei Guogong took a deep breath, "5000 taels, that's all."

He Xi raised his mouth slightly, and then pulled it down immediately, "You are so generous to that side, pity my eldest prince, who lost his mother, and even his grandpa didn't take him seriously, and kept caring about him, tsk tsk, in the end, there is a lot of glory , the reward that should be rewarded, the promotion that should be promoted, and the other side has to pitifully turn over the dowry of the queen empress, the emperor just glanced at it, obviously he is the eldest son..."

Wei Guogong knew that there would be such an event, and before he finished listening, he got up and took a box from the bookshelf behind him, and put it in front of He Xichao.

"Okay, let's take a look."

He Xichao opened it, and there was a pile of white banknotes. He quickly counted them, raised his eyebrows, and said in disgust, "It's only 2 taels..."

Wei Guogong stared, "It's not enough, it's 5000 taels more than that tower."

He Xichao sneered, "Joke, is that pagoda really only worth 5 taels? The status of a noble concubine, the attention of the courtiers, and the emperor's rewards, these are intangible wealth, even if you give an extra [-] taels, it won't be equal."

Wei Guogong coughed, "Aren't you not interested in the things in the mansion?"

"Tsk tsk, when it comes to the thickness of your skin, the grandson is really inferior. The emperor is not my father, but for your two grandsons, I'm just worthless for the eldest prince. It's really unfair."

In terms of ridicule ability, He Xichao is truly unrivaled.

Wei Guogong pondered for a moment and called out: "Ah Xiang."

He Xiang came in and bowed, "Grandpa."

"Go and get another 1 taels."

so much?He Xiang was startled, seeing He Xi drinking tea without changing his face, Wei Guogong said: "Hurry up."

"Yes."

He Xichao put the box by his hand, "Then grandson can reluctantly accept it for the eldest prince."

A full 3 taels!Wei Guogong looked at his indifferent appearance, and he was really full of old blood, "It's hard for you, ah."

"Should be."

He Xichao's ability to pretend to be obedient, Wei Guogong had nothing to say, so he had to change the subject and asked: "Next year the eldest prince will open the mansion, will the mansion need a lot of people?"

"What, grandfather wants someone to come in?" He Xichao asked with a smile.

Wei Guogong said displeased: "What kind of arrangement is it? It's really not nice to say it. In the deep palace of the eldest prince, there is no one you trust. The old man just provided a few for him to drive."

"That's it..." He Xi rolled his eyes and said generously, "Okay, give me the list, and I'll arrange it."

so easy?Wei Guogong was a little suspicious.

Then I heard He Xichao say: "Anyway, no matter if it's the Duke's Mansion or the harem halls, they will always find ways to force people in. I have the list in hand, and it saves me looking for trouble one by one."

Knowing that it would be like this, Wei Guogong didn't reprimand or object, but laughed and scolded: "You, you are full of hearts and minds, my grandfather really can't speak against you."

"Grandson is a compliment."

After speaking, the grandparent and grandson laughed together, but there was a deep meaning in each other's eyes.

The author has something to say: He Xichao bragged about the 3 taels of silver notes: Oh, really rich.

Wei Guogong bleeds: Brats are like vampires
