Come on, Your Highness

How Xiao Hong left, he didn't know, he just felt dizzy, his whole body was cold, and he didn't have any strength at all.

He felt that he was abandoned by the whole world, no one liked him, no one treated him sincerely.

He suddenly remembered that he is the grandson of Duke Wei, and so is Xiao Ming, and he should be like Xiao Ming instead of putting his mind on himself, the useless prince.

He Mingrui is the only grandson of the He family!He was going to accompany Xiao Ming as a companion, so what was he worth?

Xiao Hong gave up on himself and walked aimlessly, needless to say he felt sad and miserable, it could have flowed like a river.

As he walked, he entered a small forest, and he didn't know where he went, when he suddenly saw a child squatting under a big tree, who was probably smaller than He Mingrui by his stature.

Where did the child come from?

Xiao Hong was puzzled to see the child holding a sharpened wooden stick in his hand, squatting on the ground and drawing, stroke by stroke, seemingly very serious, and there was an open book in front of him, and he looked up from time to time. At first glance, it seems to be copying.

Xiao Hong looked at the child's attire, he didn't look like a servant's child, but the clothes were not new, he was a little strange about his identity, and even more curious about what he was painting.

So subconsciously walked over and stood behind the child, Xiao Hong realized that he was writing.

"Heaven sends a great mission to the people, and you must first work hard on your mind and your body...Why did you write this?"

He Xichao paused, turned around and raised his head, and said quietly, "You don't make any noise when you walk, it's scary, you know that?"

"You haven't answered my question yet." Xiao Hong squatted down, looked at the words, and couldn't help but praise in his heart. Although the child is too young and weak, the wooden pen can't draw deep marks on the soil, but The handwriting is really beautiful, very similar to the copied book.

"Because I'm going to be the number one scholar in the future!" He Xichao said crisply.

Such a child clenched his fist and said that he would take the No. [-] Scholar Examination, Xiao Hong was finally amused when he looked at his firm little eyes.

"Do you know what a champion is?"

Hearing this, He Xichao gave him a contemptuous look, "The imperial court recognizes that talent and learning are number one."

When Xiao Hong thinks about it, it is... accurate.

"Then do you know how to take the No. [-] Scholar exam?"

"Tongshengyuan is a scholar. After the provincial examination, you will be selected as a scholar. After the general examination, you will be awarded a tribute. After the palace examination, you will be a Jinshi. The number one scholar will be the No. 1 Jinshi."

Xiao Hong was really surprised, and said with emotion: "Excellent, you know all this?"

He Xichao clapped his hands and stood up, and said triumphantly, "I've already said that I want to take the No. [-] Scholar exam, but I don't know how to do it?"

"It's so difficult to take the No. [-] Scholar exam. Why do you have to take the exam?"

"You have so many problems, what else can you do for the first prize, of course it is to become an official, so that my mother and I can live a good life in the future."

Can you imagine, a child's innocent face said these words, Xi Pin is really right.

Xiao Hong became interested and asked, "What's your name, whose family's child?"

"Should I introduce myself before asking someone's name? It's polite." He Xichao said in an old-fashioned way.

Xiao Hong shook his head with a broken smile, but he didn't mind, "My name is Xiao Hong."

"My name is He Xichao."

"Your surname is He? Who are you from the He family?"

He Xichao thought about it for a while, then said: "I am the grandson that Wei Guogong has just recognized."

Now Xiao Hong was really surprised, "Who is your father?"

"He Yu, it is said that she eloped with my mother for love..."

Xiao Hong immediately realized, "Are you from the second uncle's family?"

"Second uncle?"

Seeing He Xichao's suspicious expression, Xiao Hong immediately didn't know how to explain it, so he changed the topic and said, "Since you are the grandson of Wei Guogong, you are the young master of the He family. What kind of champion are you going to take, and you are afraid that you will have no future in the future?"

He Xichao's eyes were sad: "Can it be the same? My father is gone, and my mother and I are out of place here. I don't even know my grandmother. It can be seen that I don't like him. Besides, isn't the young master of the He family He Mingrui? What am I? The young master who became a monk halfway, how dare you beg for this or that? But I still thank the He family for giving me and my mother a place to settle down, which is much better than those who don’t have enough food and clothing, and don’t even have a place to live. , you still have to rely on yourself."

Xiao Hong opened his mouth and asked, "How old are you?"

"After the new year, you will be seven years old." He Xichao said with a smile.

That's only six years old... This is only six years old!

"How do you know so much?"

"The children of the poor are already in charge of the family, don't you know?"

I really don't know.Xiao Hong has gained a lot of knowledge, but when he thinks about He Xichao's situation, it is indeed quite miserable. He should be born in a noble family, but he suffers because of his parents' stains.It’s really inspiring to come back with great difficulty, and still be blinded everywhere. I’m under the fence at a young age, and I can only try to change my destiny by taking the imperial examination.

There were no chairs here, so He Xichao simply sat down, raised his head and asked, "Why are you here?"

When He Xichao asked such a question, Xiao Hong remembered the mood he had finally relieved just now, and immediately became depressed again.

"Did someone bully you?"

Xiao Hong's heart felt sour when he heard this, and he was speechless.

In the past month, everyone has been blaming him and ridiculing him. Those who had placed high hopes on him shook their heads and sighed. In a word.

Is someone bullying you?He suddenly had the urge to cry.

"Those people are good or bad, why do they bully you?" He Xi said angrily.

Xiao Hong raised his eyes and blinked, held back his tears, and said stiffly: "That's it, don't you suspect that I bullied them?"

"How come, how old are you, who can you bully?" He Xichao said confidently.

Yes, he is only nine years old, he can bully anyone, but no one believes him.

But when He Xichao said it, it made people laugh and cry. It's ridiculous to say how old you are when you are nine years old when you are six.

"Let me tell you a story, will you listen?" Xiao Hong asked.

"Okay, but can you sit down? I raised my head and my neck is sore." He Xichao patted the flat land around him.

Xiao Hong hesitated for a moment, thinking that he was in such a miserable situation, it would be okay to indulge, so he sat down and explained his situation.

"Except for my aunt, no one said a word for me." Xiao Hong said dejectedly.

He Xichao pondered for a while, then suddenly asked: "Is Concubine Shu treating you well?"

Shocked, Xiao Hong turned to look at him, "How do you know?"

"Don't test my IQ, okay? I only have two aunts, both of whom are in the palace."

Xiao Hong choked for a moment. Although he didn't know what IQ was, he could clearly feel that He Xichao was despising him, so he said unhappily, "Then you still pretend you don't know!"

"I'll try my best to cooperate with you, but I find it's too stupid to act like this."

He Xichao was quite righteous, so Xiao Hong couldn't blame him.

"How is Concubine Shu treating you?" He Xichao asked again.

Xiao Hong nodded, "Okay, it's better than being with Xiao Ming. Usually, you can give me any good things, and Xiao Ming didn't give them even if she wanted them."

"what?"

"Why do you ask so many questions?" Xiao Hong asked strangely.

"Knowing more about the situation is good for analysis."

"Okay, like... like those fun and novel things, interesting things sent from all over the world, as long as I like them, she will send them to the East Palace without a second thought." Xiao Hong thought of the starlings in He Mingrui's courtyard, and left. She curled her lips and said, "There used to be a starling who could speak human language. The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent her to relieve her boredom. Seeing that I was curious, no matter how Xiao Ming begged for it, she finally gave it to me. It's just that later..."

"Your Majesty saw it, is he angry?" He Xichao guessed.

"How do you know? Yes, the father sent someone to take it away, and even told me about it. In the end, even Concubine Shu was reprimanded." Recalling that scene, Xiao Hong couldn't help but sigh.

He Xichao gave him a rude look, and couldn't help muttering, "Idiot."

"What did you say? I didn't hear it."

"Is there nothing else besides giving you something to play with?"

"What more do you want?"

He Xichao looked at him and asked carefully, "I didn't ask you to study hard, practice riding and shooting, and teach you to be cautious in your words and deeds. What should the prince do?"

Xiao Hong's heart skipped a beat, his hands and feet suddenly went numb for some reason, and became cold again.

"Well, isn't this the responsibility of the Taifu who goes to the study?"

He Xi looked at him fixedly and said: "My mother is a concubine, and she also knows that if she wants her son to stand out, she can't just pamper her blindly. She didn't allow the things that seduced me and made me addicted to appear in my room." In front of you. On the contrary, if you want to raise a child quietly and don't complain, you can do everything you want, lead him to degenerate, let him be sensual and do nothing. Usually this is raised by the aunt in the back house The method used by the bastard."

Of course, He Xichao made people feel at ease since he was a child, Li Yuechan never thought of this, he just made it up.

But Xiao Hong heard his chest blunt and blunt, and slowly began to hurt.

"Did you pay attention to the lectures in the study room? Did the teacher understand the meaning of everything he said? How much do you know about classics and historical allusions? Can you memorize the most basic Analects?" He Xichao looked at Xiao Hong's pale face, and couldn't help feeling sympathetic in his heart. But he still said mercilessly, "Think about your brother again, will he know what you don't know? Every time the emperor asks questions in the exam, do you two behave the same?"

Not the same, Xiao Hong slowly shook his head.At some point, what he was most afraid of was his father's exam, and he was most afraid of seeing Emperor Tiangan's disappointed expression. The more he was like this, the more he couldn't answer.But Xiao Ming was different, he answered fluently, obviously he had worked hard, and gradually, Xiao Ming received more and more appreciation, and he, Emperor Tiangan frowned when he saw it.

"I want to study hard, but... no one told me so." Every time I make a decision, I can always be attracted by other things for a while, and most of these come from around me. Everyone flatters him and attracts him. After falling into the clouds and hitting the bottom, I realized that everything was false.

"I'm so stupid..." Xiao Hong murmured.

He had actually seen Concubine Shu's strictness towards Xiao Ming. There were no gadgets in Xiao Ming's living room, and he had to hide the one he liked after a long time. He wanted to go out to play with Xiao Ming, and Xiao Ming told him He had to recite his homework, otherwise Concubine Shu would scold him.

That starling had been a novelty for him for several days, if the emperor hadn't seen it and sent someone to take it away immediately, I don't know how long he would be obsessed with it.

Xiao Hong recalled Concubine Shu's gentle and considerate appearance now, and couldn't help but feel chills in his heart.

"It's really stupid." He Xichao affirmed, "If she was really looking out for you this time, she wouldn't say a few words so casually, just to show her generosity and make people feel that she was wronged and virtuous, but instead I should blame you, please the emperor teach you well, the emperor will definitely beat you up immediately to vent her anger, but after the beating is over, the anger will disappear. However, the more she forbears and seeks perfection, the emperor feels guilty for her and thinks you are wrong The more people there are, the deeper the punishment will be. Now who doesn't know that Concubine Shu is a virtuous and virtuous concubine who repays hatred with virtue?"

Xiao Hong nodded, "You're right. I always thought she was the queen mother's younger sister, and would love me a little bit. But I forgot, Xiao Ming is her son. Who doesn't want their son to become a prince?"

"It's good to know, be more open in the future." He Xichao patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.

Xiao Hong laughed self-deprecatingly: "I will be abolished in the future."

"Could it be impossible to stand again after being abolished? The emperor Jinkou said that you will never be a prince again from now on?"

"That's not true, but if I abolish it, it means that I am not worthy of a crown prince."

He Xichao looked him up and down and said, "You really don't deserve it now."

"Did you talk like that?" Xiao Hong said dissatisfied.

"Prince, the crown prince of the country, but do you see that you look like a crown prince? What responsibility can you take? Do you understand the livelihood of the people, or how to govern the country? People who don't even study hard! Except for good luck , come from a better background, what advantage do you have, boy?"

Xiao Hong was left speechless.

"However, don't be discouraged. If you are not suitable now, it does not mean that you will not be suitable in the future. You are still the eldest son, and your chances are greater than your younger brothers. You must know that you are giving up on yourself now. Apart from being angry with yourself and disappointing the emperor even more , other people will laugh, they hope that you will collapse and be completely out of the game, don't you think so?"

What you said is so reasonable!

No one had ever said such a heart-to-heart to him, but these words came from a six-year-old child.

So the question is again, "Why do you know so much, do you act like a six-year-old?"

"I am talented and intelligent. My father said that I am a unique talent, and I should be born as the champion." He Xichao puffed out her chest, very proud.

This is more than just a genius, he is a ghost at all. He is very smart at the age of six, and he will be able to get it when he grows up.

"Then what should I do now?"

He Xichao said: "You are still young, don't worry, the crown prince made too many enemies when he was shining brightly before, so it is a good thing to lose it, just calm down and bide your time."

Wei Guogong also said this before, but when the same meaning came out of He Xichao's mouth, the effect was completely different.

"Hide your strengths and bide your time..." Xiao Hong chewed on the word.

"I will give you the few words on the ground."

"Heaven has given you a great mission, and you must first work hard on your heart..." Xiao Hong frowned slightly.

He Xichao quickly waved his hands, "Wrong, wrong, this is it."

He swished and wrote a few smaller characters below.

"Pretend to be stupid...pretentious...pretend, pretend to be pig...eat...old...tiger?" Xiao Hong looked at He Xichao with admiration after reading.

He Xichao rubbed off the words with his feet and said, "Got it?"

"Understood, you really have many eyes." Xiao Hong admired sincerely.

"Of course, although this country's government is not as good as the imperial palace, it's not easy to get along well. Can you do it without a little thought?" He Xichao looked at the smoothed words and nodded with satisfaction, "Everyone around you It's someone with malicious intentions, or He Mingrui's indiscriminate idiot, if you're not unlucky, who will be unlucky!"

Xiao Hong thought it was not right.

"If only you were my companion." He blurted out.

He Xichao was obviously taken aback, and then said: "As soon as you enter the palace gate, it's as deep as the sea!"

"What a mess, isn't that a description of a woman who enters the palace? To be honest, if you are a girl, this harem will be turned upside down by you!"

"Then you really think highly of me." He Xichao snorted disapprovingly, lowered his head and continued writing his "Heavenly Duty"...

Xiao Hong laughed, feeling suddenly happy. Looking at He Xichao's bulging face, he suddenly squeezed his hands twice and said, "So, you are writing this here to hide your strength and bide your time?"

He Xi rolled his eyes at him, "Of course, are you waiting to be taken care of by the old lady?" As soon as these words came out, the two of them laughed together.

"By the way, what are you holding in your hand? You've been pinching it." He Xichao pointed to his palm and asked.

Xiao Hong raised his hand and saw that it was Mo Naihe, also known as Zhuge Suo, which was originally given to He Mingrui to make amends, and he probably won't need it in the future.

Seeing that He Xichao was curious, he handed it to him, "Can you play? Let me teach you."

After He Xichao took it, he looked at it in his hand, and Xiao Hong took it apart for him, preparing to teach him how to play.

Unexpectedly, He Xichao started to build without saying a word, and after a while, the complete one appeared in his hands.

"Give it to me?"

Xiao Hong stared blankly at his happy face, and subconsciously nodded.

He Mingrui played in his palace for five days but couldn't figure out why, so he stopped playing angrily.He Xichao finished it in just a few breaths, he is so clever that there is nothing to say.

"Thank you, I really like it." He Xichao happily accepted it, with joy written all over his face, "This is your gift in return, cousin."

When Xiao Hong heard this title, he was taken aback for a while, and then he also laughed, rather than being cherished when he gave it to He Mingrui, He Xichao made him more sincerely happy.

"I have other patterns over there. I'll go back and find someone to bring them to you."

"That's okay, give me something difficult."

This might be difficult, but with He Xichao's ability, no matter how difficult it is, it might not be difficult for him.

But as long as He Xichao likes it, it's okay to give it to him, "Okay."

The author has something to say: Yao: Xiao Hong is such a sincere child, won't it hurt to fool his conscience like this?

He Xichao: I'm all for his own good!

Haruka: There's a lot of nonsense!
