After crossing, I became the most powerful cub in the palace

Xiao Yuanjing was stunned for a moment, remembering that when he first came to Zichen Palace, Xiao Yuanqi said that he wanted to know what birthday gift he gave him.

Now that the birthday gift is stolen, it is inevitable that Xiao Yuanchang or Xiao Yuanyao will deliberately ask the emperor to take out the birthday gift he gave to share in order to regain the face before. So, wouldn't it be empty talk if Xiao Yuanjing personally made the birthday gift?

At this moment Xiao Yuanjing had no time to investigate the whole story of this matter, but whispered instructions in Lidong's ear, Lidong gradually stabilized his mind, and then quietly retreated out after receiving the instructions.

Xiao Yuanchen beside him was a little puzzled, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, what's the matter?"

Xiao Yuanjing glanced at the princes and princesses on the opposite seats, then leaned against Xiao Yuanchen, and said softly: "Don't worry about it, brother's gift was stolen."

Xiao Yuanchen was a little surprised, but was held down by Xiao Yuanjing, making him pretend to be nonchalant, and then he saw Xiao Yuanjing raised his wine glass and leaned against Xiao Yuanchun's side.

Xiao Yuanchun thought it was his younger brother toasting himself, so he also raised his glass, but he heard Xiao Yuanjing whisper:

"Sister, my brother's congratulatory gift to the emperor is still on the way, can my sister..."

Xiao Yuanchun immediately understood: "Okay, sister understands."

The siblings clinked their wine glasses lightly, then drank it all in one gulp, each doing well, Xiao Yuanjing also turned his head and looked at Xiao Yuanchen, Xiao Yuanchen immediately understood, and raised the teacup in front of him with a smile.

As soon as the dancers in the palace finished dancing, Xiao Yuanchang stood up and toasted to congratulate the emperor on his birthday. After receiving a few compliments, he heard Concubine Yu say:

"Your Majesty, I heard that for His Majesty's birthday, King Rong Ping bought two pearls from the East China Sea for his Majesty's birthday. Why don't Your Majesty take them and watch them with all your ministers?"

Xiao Yuanyao who heard Concubine Yu's words also got up and said: "Father, it is said that courtesy is light and affection is heavy. Although eldest brother's Donghai Ye Mingzhu is precious, fourth brother is a congratulatory gift prepared for father. Why don't you take a look at fourth brother first?" of."

Xiao Yuanyao was already young, so it would not be against her harmony to put on an innocent smile at this moment, but the emperor was in a dilemma. The concubine she liked wanted to see the Pearl of the East China Sea, but she heard Xiao Yuanjing prepare it herself. For a congratulatory gift, it was difficult to decide which one to see first.

Xiao Yuanchun also got up and said, "Father, Jing'er's birthday gift was made by himself, so it must be full of affection. My minister has a suggestion. My son and son-in-law are stationed at Yumen Pass, and they can often meet with merchants from the Western Regions. For my father's birthday gift, my son-in-law It is also painstaking, although it is not as precious as the East China Sea Ye Mingzhu, but it is not bad after all."

Hearing Xiao Yuanchun take the words away all of a sudden, Xiao Yuanyao's face turned cold immediately, but the emperor was also curious about Princess Yuanchun's birthday gift, so he couldn't help saying:

"Then what gift did Yuan Chun prepare for me?"

Xiao Yuanchun got up and went to the palace, saluted the emperor, and said respectfully: "Father, the Western Regions are different from the Central Plains, where the wind and sand are extremely strong and the climate is dry. But it's full of water, sweet and cloying, and the people in the Western Regions are not like us in the Central Plains. They drink grain wine, and the fruit wine they drink, isn't there Shiyun Grape Wine Luminous Cup, this is what I prepared for my father. The wine, the luminous cup, and even brought the music and dance of the Western Regions into the capital to perform for the emperor."

Hearing Princess Yuanchun's introduction, the emperor was even more surprised: "Oh?"

Princess Yuanchun clapped her hands, and then she saw a servant leading a man holding a Western Region musical instrument and a woman wearing a red gauze into the Zichen Palace.

This woman's complexion is extremely white, her eye sockets are soaring, her eyes are big and energetic, although half of her face is covered, but the clothes on her body reveal her waist and navel, her feet are bare, without taking a step, the sound of bells on her body will beep.

The two saluted the emperor in the palace. Seeing that the emperor liked it, Princess Yuanchun asked someone to fetch the luminous cup and poured the grape wine into the cup.

Princess Yuanchun said: "I have prepared two copies of this fine grape wine, one is given to my father, and the other can be shared with all the ministers at the moment. My father can enjoy the dances of the Western Regions while tasting the fine wine, and even drink the wine. Eldest brother brought the East China Sea Night Pearl, let's watch it together, father thinks it's good?"

The emperor was very satisfied when he heard the princess's arrangement this week, and nodded in praise.

After the princess got the approval of the emperor, she began to let the two from the Western Regions perform. Immediately, a touch of red shadow in the Zichen Palace used her graceful figure to interpret the style of women in the Western Regions and the beauty of the region. The music made everyone in the Zichen Palace mesmerized.

The eunuch in charge of the Zichen Palace also ordered someone to fetch the East China Sea luminous pearls prepared by Xiao Yuanchang. The two luminous pearls exuded a glistening white light, which was particularly eye-catching.

Those who have seen the Ye Mingzhu all said that these two pearls are priceless, and by the way, they also praised King Rongping for his filial piety, and he took a lot of trouble for the emperor's birthday.

Waiting for the performance of the two performers from the Western Regions to finish, the wine in the glass was almost drunk. At this moment, the emperor only felt the fragrance on his lips and teeth, and couldn't help but say:

"Yuanchang's East China Sea Night Pearl is really precious, and Yuanchun's Western Region dance and grape wine also make my father very happy."

Princess Yuanchun smiled and said, "I don't know if Father still likes it?"

The emperor nodded: "I like it, I like it very much, thank you."

Princess Yuanchun and her son-in-law bowed to the emperor to thank the emperor. Xiao Yuanchang wanted to say more, but he heard Concubine Yu say: "Your Majesty, King Pingdu has prepared eucalyptus and silver flowers for His Majesty. Would Your Majesty want to see it?"

Not only the emperor was curious about this Yushu Yinhua, but even Xiao Yuanjing was also curious.

Until the eunuch in charge took out the congratulatory gift from Xiao Yuanqi and opened it in the hall, all the people in the Zichen Hall couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Even Xiao Yuanjing opened his mouth unconsciously when he saw it, sighing that this ancient skilled craftsman had such a miraculous skill.

A finely carved jade tree three feet high, every branch and leaf is clearly carved, even the small bugs on the leaves are clear, as for the silver flower, it is a flower made of silver thread, just like this On a yushu, there are 27 flowers coiled in silver thread.

Leaving aside the preciousness of this jade tree silver flower, it is extremely rare to find a piece of jade with a size of three feet, not to mention that it has been processed and polished, and even the branches and leaves have to be carved, so that even the small bugs on the leaves will not fall.

It is this kind of intention that the two Ye Mingzhu can't match.

What's more, there are 27 silver coiled flowers, and it is extremely troublesome to glue the silver flowers to the jade tree.

Xiao Yuanjing could understand how much thought Xiao Yuanqi put into preparing this Yushu Yinhua, and of course the emperor could also understand, and couldn't help but praise Xiao Yuanqi's hard work, and also praised Concubine Yu Gui for raising a good son.

Empress Xun looked at Xiao Yuanjing with a complicated expression.

Princess Yuanchun was naturally happy to be praised, but whether Xiao Yuanjing could be praised was the Queen's most concerned matter.

Xun Shiyao, Duke of the Qing Dynasty, and Xun Ruobai, the eldest son, among the ministers, also looked at the queen with a little worry. Xun Shiyao looked sideways at Xun Ruobai beside him and said:

"The Fourth Highness really returned the gift you gave me?"

Xun Ruobai nodded, as an answer to his words.

Xun Shiyao's face darkened, he grabbed the wine glass and drank it all: "It must be the gift you chose, the Fourth Highness doesn't like it, but I can't say it clearly, if your brother prepares it, it will definitely not be like this. The piece of jade tree and silver flower has won His Majesty's great love, so what should Fourth Highness fight for."

Xun Ruobai lowered his eyes slightly, a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, and then he was carefully concealed and said: "Didn't it mean that His Highness personally made a birthday gift for His Majesty."

Xun Shiyao's breath sank, and he was naturally angry: "His Royal Highness personally made it. Although it is less polite and affectionate, it is not as good as Yushu Yinhua's thoughts."

Xun Ruobai didn't speak again, but just looked at the Fourth Highness. He drank the wine calmly, and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

After seeing the Yushu Yinhua, Xiao Yuanyao hurriedly said: "Father, the Ye Mingzhu of the elder brother, the dance of the Western Regions and the fine wine of the second sister are not as good as the Yushu Yinhua of the second brother, but the father, the fourth brother prepared it himself for the father. As for the congratulatory gift, it's just that the fourth brother has been reluctant to say it, saying that you must approve it, father, before we can all see it."

The emperor was slightly stunned, only then did he recall that Xiao Yuanyao had said that Xiao Yuanjing personally prepared a birthday gift for him, and he couldn't help laughing: "What did Jing'er prepare for me?"

Xiao Yuanqi also said hastily: "Father, the fourth younger brother made it with his own hands, but he put more care into it than my son's Yushu Yinhua."

Xiao Yuanchang also said: "Yes, even if it is not precious, as long as it is made by the fourth brother himself, Father will like it."

The emperor looked towards the queen: "Does the queen know what Jing Er has prepared?"

The queen looked at Xiao Yuanjing, and then looked back at the emperor: "Jing'er has her own idea, saying that she wants to personally prepare a surprise for His Majesty, and even the concubine doesn't know about it."

Xiao Yuan congratulated: "Fourth brother, didn't you say that the congratulatory gift was delivered early in the morning, it must be in the side hall, I want to see it too."

Just as Xiao Yuanjing drank the wine in his glass, he felt the attention from all directions, which made him a little uncomfortable.

The eunuch in charge who got the emperor's order was embarrassed, and quickly knelt on the ground, pleading guilty: "Your Majesty, this...the Fourth Highness did not send congratulatory gifts, if they did, it was recorded on the gift list, but... ...But the slave didn't find the congratulatory gift from His Royal Highness on the gift list."

Hearing what the eunuch in charge said, the emperor's originally expectant gaze faded a little at this moment, and Xiao Yuanyao hurriedly said:

"Could it be that the fourth brother was not prepared, that's why he didn't let us see it, and he said that it was delivered to the Zichen Palace early in the morning, fourth brother, the father loves you the most, and the father will be unhappy if he didn't even prepare for the father's birthday gift. "

Even the queen was a little surprised: "Jing'er, what's going on?"

Xiao Yuanjing carefully placed the wine glass in his hand on the small table in front of him, and caught the emperor's disappointment and a little anger in his eyes, Xiao Yuanjing understood the intention of the person behind the scenes who planned to steal his birthday present.

He could give an insignificant birthday gift, but he had to give it. What's more, he said before that he prepared the birthday gift himself, but in the end there was nothing. In this way, Xiao Yuanjing made the emperor's birthday banquet a joke. It also ruined all the goodwill he had won so hard in front of the emperor.

Xiao Yuanjing got up slowly and walked into the hall, bowed to the emperor, before he could speak, he heard Xiao Yuanyao say:

"Could it be that the fourth brother was unprepared and wanted to get away with it. I didn't expect the father to look forward to it."

Xiao Yuanjing looked sideways at Xiao Yuanyao, who was smiling innocently, and then turned back to look at the emperor on the dragon chair with an ugly face. There were dozens of pairs of eyes staring at him behind him. In such a situation, if he did not take out A better birthday gift than Yushu Yinhua will not save face.

For men, face is a very important thing.

So Xiao Yuanjing once again bowed to the emperor and said: "Father, my son did prepare a birthday gift and sent it to the Zichen Hall. As for why there is no record of this, I think it can be investigated afterwards."

Xiao Yuanchang also hurriedly bowed to the emperor: "Father, since the fourth brother said that he gave it away, it was the negligence of the eunuch in charge. He lost the birthday gift of the fourth brother. If this is the case, the eunuch in charge is Dereliction of duty should be punished."

Seeing Li Dong arriving in a hurry, Xiao Yuanjing felt at ease now, and hurriedly said: "Brother, today is the birthday of the father, I said to investigate later, it should be a gift at this moment."

The emperor's face was a little displeased: "Since the birthday gift is lost, let's forget it."

Xiao Yuanjing smiled ingratiatingly: "Father, the birthday gift is not lost. My son asked Lidong to look for it in the side hall just now, and I found it."

Hearing what Xiao Yuanjing said, the faces of all the people present were extremely surprised. Seeing Xiao Yuanjing's expression was inconceivable, Xiao Yuanyao's face was slightly pale, and even Xiao Yuanchang immediately changed his face and said: "Fourth brother I found it."

When the emperor heard that he had found the birthday gift again, his face softened a little: "Lidong, bring it soon."

After receiving the order, Li Dong hurriedly walked to the hall with the box in his hands, bowed his head, bowed his body and said, "Report to Your Majesty, everything is the slave's fault, it's the slave who didn't let them record the birthday ceremony, and that's why the Fourth Highness was wronged. "

Xiao Yuanjing: "Father, Li Dong made an unintentional mistake. For the sake of the birthday gift, let him be spared."

Before the emperor opened his mouth, he saw Xiao Yuanjing's iconic bright smile, took the box from Lidong's hand, opened it carefully, and then frowned: "What is that?"

The congratulatory gifts from courtiers and princes were not gold and jade wares, calligraphy, painting and stone carvings, and even Princess Yuanchun’s wine dance, but when it came to Xiao Yuanjing’s place, a wooden box stuck out a head, and a lump that looked like It's something like a glazed cup.

Xiao Yuanjing looked at the desk lamp in his hand, and signaled to the servants in the hall to put out the candles. The emperor, empress Yu Guifei, and princes and ministers all cried out in surprise.

Xiao Yuanjing gently shook the handle of the desk lamp, and gradually the light began to shine from his hand, and it became brighter and brighter. Although it was not as bright as the general Zichen Palace, it was like daylight, but in the place where Xiao Yuanjing and the emperor sat That one is still brighter.

The emperor's eyes widened. He had never seen anything that didn't need wax or lamp oil, and could be lit just by shaking the handle. He got off the dragon chair and came to Xiao Yuanjing's side, intending to take his hand. Take a closer look at the lights inside, but when you look closely, the place where the light shines is extraordinarily dazzling.

The emperor was a little excited: "Jing'er, what is this?"

Xiao Yuanjing hurriedly asked people to light the candles in the Zichen Hall again, although the Zichen Hall was as bright as day at the moment, but when he thought of the glowing objects in Xiao Yuanjing's hands, the emperor was still both puzzled and happy.

Xiao Yuanjing said: "Father, this is what I thought of when I saw fireflies in summer. It would be great if I could be like a firefly and light up without wax or lamp oil, so I did this." A luminous object, named, is called a desk lamp."

Emperor: "Lamp?"

Xiao Yuan nodded his head: "The handle can be lightly shaken to generate electricity, and once it generates electricity, it will make the front light up... These fathers don't need to know, I just want to say that the smell of this candle is really strong, but the father has a lot of things to do, and he has to review the memorial. , I still have to study occasionally, it's really hard work, so I made this table lamp as a gift to my father. Although it is not comparable to the eldest brother's Donghai Yemingzhu, or the second brother's Yushu Yinhua, this is also my son's heart. Please also The emperor smiled and accepted."

The emperor accepted the desk lamp from Xiao Yuanjing, and the joy in his heart was incomparable to all the treasures he saw just now.

His six sons gave many rare treasures, but only Xiao Yuanjing made it himself, even out of filial piety, such a gift, how could it be inferior to the treasures given by others .

The emperor: "Jing'er gave you the best thing in the world, and my father likes it."

Seeing this situation, Duke Qing quickly got up and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness is very ingenious and attentive. I am very pleased and envious."

Afterwards, the prime minister also said: "The talents of the fourth highness may not be the most outstanding among the princes, but the heart to treat your majesty is in the eyes of the ministers."

Minister A: "The Fourth Highness is extremely caring, which is also the reason for His Majesty's deep love. The love between father and son is deep, and the ministers are very envious."

Minister B: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live..."

With the people shouting, all the people in the Zichen Palace also stood up and saluted the emperor. They shouted long live in unison, which made the emperor extremely happy. They held Xiao Yuanjing's hand for a long time, and then looked at Xiao Yuan. Jingshi's sight is also very gratifying.

And with the emperor's words, the expressions on the faces of the princes and princesses were also different. Although it was not easy to express clearly, when Xiao Yuanyao secretly looked at Xiao Yuanjing, the corners of his eyes were full of anger.

It's a little late to end the emperor's birthday. After sending the emperor away, the courtiers also left the palace and returned to the palace. Because Princess Yuanchun has the emperor's permission, she can stay in the palace tonight and wait for the other princes and princesses to leave. Xiao Yuanjingcai, Xiao Yuanchen and the princess' son-in-law walked up the palace road to Chengqian Hall.

After walking a few steps, Xiao Yuanjing stopped: "Lidong, Liqiu."

Xiao Yuanchen and Xiao Yuanchun on the side looked at Xiao Yuanjing with some doubts, and Xiao Yuanchen asked, "What's wrong with the fourth brother?"

Xiao Yuanjing smiled and said to the two of them: "The two of you will find a few people to guard outside the Zichen Hall. Remember, if you catch someone, send them directly to the Ganlu Hall, do you understand?"

Lidong smiled triumphantly and nodded again and again: "I understand, Liqiu, let's go."

Looking at the backs of Lidong and Liqiu, Xiao Yuanchun stood beside Xiao Yuanjing, and asked suspiciously: "Do you want Lidong and the others to arrest the person who stole the birthday gift?"

Xiao Yuan nodded: "Well, well, let's not talk about this for now, sister, brother-in-law, brother, I didn't eat much just now, go, go to my place, I will bake bread for you to eat."

Hearing what Xiao Yuanjing said, Xiao Yuanchun had heard about Xiao Yuanjing in the capital when he was away.

Hydroelectric power was created, electric fans were made, and especially now so-called luminous lamps were made.

Xiao Yuanjing is different from before, more and more cute, it seems that he can protect himself without his sister by his side.

The group of four people went to Chengqian Hall, visited Xiao Yuanjing's power generation device, visited the lamp in his bedroom that can be turned on by pulling a rope, the bread kiln outside the small kitchen, and Xiao Yuanjing Made hot pot bottom material.

Everything surprised Xiao Yuanchun and his son-in-law. I thought the desk lamp was already unexpected, but I didn't expect that there were more unexpected things in Chengqian Palace.

In the weather of September, the evening breeze brings coolness, except for the lanterns hanging in the courtyard of the Chengqian Hall, the electric lights made by Xiao Yuanjing have been replaced in the Chengqian Hall.

In Chengqian Hall, in front of Xiao Yuanchun and his son-in-law were some cakes and biscuits made by Xiao Yuanjing, which tasted better than those made in the imperial dining room. Xiao Yuanchun sniffed the smell of fruit biscuits and couldn't help but He took a piece and put it in his mouth.

The biscuit was crispy, with a milky and fruity aroma, and I couldn't help but eat another piece: "Jing'er, your biscuit, is it a biscuit, the one made by the imperial kitchen is even more delicious."

Xiao Yuanjing looked at Xiao Yuanchen, who was eating happily beside him, and smiled very happily: "If my sister likes it, when my sister and brother-in-law go back to Yumen Pass, I can make some for my sister, okay?"

Chu Yuqing nodded again and again: "That's thanks to the Fourth Highness."

Xiao Yuanchun hadn't seen Xiao Yuanjing for more than half a year, and now the four of them were sitting together, eating snacks and drinking tea, chatting about Xiao Yuanjing's affairs in the past six months.

The fire in the Temple of Ci'an involved Concubine Gao Shu causing Xiao Yuanjing to fall from a horse in February, and also mentioned that after Xiao Yuanjing's theory was stolen, Xiao Yuanjing made the emperor very happy with his [-]-character summary. Xiao Yuanjing was misunderstood by the emperor after being hit by a club and so on.

Xiao Yuanchun's back felt numb when he heard it, and after listening to it, he felt more and more distressed about his younger brother.

The night was very quiet, and the sound of wind blowing outside the hall could be heard even if it was so quiet. It was already around three o'clock, and Xiao Yuanjing had already asked the people of Chengqian Hall to clean out the side hall for Princess Yuanchun and his wife to live in.

Even Xiao Yuanchen can stay in the Chengqian Palace and sleep with Xiao Yuanjing, and wait for the next morning to greet the queen together.

In the early morning of the next day, Lidong and Liqiu happily went outside the bedroom to greet Xiao Yuanjing and Xiao Yuanchen.

Seeing Lidong's joyful appearance, Xiao Yuanjing understood in his heart: "Caught it?"

Lidong nodded again and again: "Your Highness's guess is correct. The servants kept watch all night. I thought they would have to watch for two days. I didn't expect that the servants caught me right after the fourth watch."

Xiao Yuanjing smiled lightly, put on his clothes and asked, "Send it to the Palace of Manna?"

Li Qiu hurriedly said: "After he was caught, he was sent along with the evidence. His Majesty went up and sent him to the violent room. Now the confession should be sent to the Wende Palace. The servants will come back and report immediately. Your Highness, the progress of this matter."

After waiting for Xiao Yuanjing and Xiao Yuanchen to walk out of the dormitory, they just had a face-to-face encounter with Princess Yuanchun and his wife who had packed up outside the side hall. The four of them looked at each other, and they left Chengqian Hall tacitly, and went to pay their respects to the queen.

The majestic Jiaofang Palace is the most magnificent palace in the harem, representing the honor of the head of the harem. Princess Yuanchun had breakfast with the queen for the first time after returning to Beijing. All the meals that Princess Yuanchun loved to eat were on the table. And snacks.

Although in the queen's heart, she has high hopes for Xiao Yuanjing, she also cherishes the daughter of Princess Yuanchun. See you every day, but after all, you live in the same city, and you can always see each other if you want to.

But Princess Yuanchun knew that Chu Yuqing was not a person who rose to power through nepotism, so when Chu Yuqing chose to guard Yumen Pass, she went with him.

In this way, the daughter is considered to be married far away, but seeing the harmony between their husband and wife, Empress Xun felt much more at ease.

Empress Xun watched Chu Yuqing put side dishes on the plate in front of Princess Yuanchun with a smile on her face: "Looking at Yuqing's dedication to Yuanchun, I am not worried anymore."

Chu Yuqing hurriedly smiled and saluted and returned: "The princess dealt with the minister and helped the minister, and helped the minister a lot. Naturally, the minister must treat the princess well, so that the princess's love for the minister will not be wasted."

While Chu Yuqing was talking, her eyes fell on Princess Yuanchun from time to time. The tenderness in her eyes made Xiao Yuanjing want to fall in love, but unfortunately he couldn't. After all, he didn't know when he would go back to modern times. There is no way to show mercy here.

After breakfast, Xiao Yuanjing had just returned to Chengqian Palace, when the emperor's personal servant, Chengyouzhi, brought the emperor's reward to Xiao Yuanjing, facing some inkstones, paper and ink, and famous calligraphy and paintings sent by the chief servant. Wait, Xiao Yuanjing seemed to have thought of something, and asked tentatively:

"Eunuch Cheng, does the emperor have other words to bring to me?"

After Cheng Youzhi watched those little eunuchs arrange the rewards with a respectful smile, he opened his mouth and said:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty knows that His Majesty was wronged last night, and today His Majesty killed those slaves who did not have long eyes and framed His Majesty, and His Majesty also said that His Majesty is smart, and His Majesty will be eighteen years old after this year. My son will naturally be different from other princes, and I hope that His Highness will not disappoint His Majesty's expectations of His Highness, study hard, and share your worries in the future."

Xiao Yuanjing immediately understood the purpose of the emperor asking Cheng Youzhi to send these things and those words.

All the culprits of the servants in the Zichen Palace are fully borne. As for who ordered them to steal Xiao Yuanjing's birthday gift and let them erase Xiao Yuanjing's name, the emperor must know about it, but he just doesn't want to pursue it.

Xiao Yuanjing also just smiled, he didn't have much expectation that the emperor would handle it impartially, after all, they were all his children.

He saluted Cheng Youzhi slightly: "Eunuch Cheng will report back to Emperor Father for me, I understand, please rest assured Father."

Chengyou's smile became more respectful, and he said softly: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has his difficulties, but His Majesty can understand it, which is really gratifying to His Majesty. His Majesty is so caring. His Majesty also sees it. If these rewards are Your majesty's compensation to your highness is better to say that your majesty has high hopes for your highness."

Xiao Yuanjing saluted with a smile, but did not answer.

Cheng Youzhi was also relieved a lot. Although the Fourth Highness is the master who refuses to suffer, but in the end he always does things clearly and knows the general situation. Not to mention that the emperor likes it very much, even Cheng Youzhi, who has served the emperor for more than ten years The eunuch also likes a master like His Highness the Fourth Highness very much.

It's not like others despise slaves like them when they hold their status as princes, but they take special care of them, and Cheng Youzhi also keeps it in mind.

After delivering the rewards from Chengqian Hall, Cheng Youzhi left, but Xiao Yuanjing sneered at the rewards, had them put into the treasury, and returned to the bedroom.

Just as he was lying on the bed, he heard the pot beside the bed open: "Aren't you happy?"

Xiao Yuanjing shook his head: "No, I just want to move out of the palace as soon as possible and live my own life without fighting with others all day long, and I don't want to be a thorn in the side of others."

The copper pot laughed lightly, and the sound of the laugh was particularly nice, Xiao Yuanjing's mood also improved after hearing it.

The copper pot said: "But you are the queen's son after all. There is an unwritten rule in this royal family. The position of the prince has always been the son of the middle palace. If the queen has no children, then the prince of the prince can only be the turn of those who come from the concubine." The prince, so you have become a thorn in their side."

Xiao Yuanjing frowned: "Is it a crime to conceive Bi?"

The copper pot sighed slightly: "Yes."

Xiao Yuanjing: "That can't be done. It's not that easy to kill me to be the crown prince. Even if I don't want to be, I have to let my younger brother be. I want to follow their path and let them have nowhere to go, hahaha , Brother Guo, it would be great if you were by my side, I should have a drink with you at this time."

The copper pot responded lightly, and seeing Xiao Yuanjing's broad eyebrows, he felt relieved: "Brother Xiao, if I come to look for you, would you want to see me?"

Xiao Yuanjing was stunned for a moment, and sat up on the bed in surprise: "What? You came to find me?"

The copper pot said: "Well, but you are in the palace, I can't get in, can you leave the palace, I'll come to you."

When Xiao Yuanjing heard the words of the copper pot, the feeling of wanting to meet with netizens suddenly arose spontaneously. He couldn't tell whether it was joy or excitement. Xiao Yuanjing immediately got out of bed and hugged the copper pot on the ground put:

"Brother Guo, come out."

Copper pot: "..."

Xiao Yuanjing was stunned for a moment, holding the copper pot and putting it back on the bedside with some embarrassment, scratching his head: "I didn't realize it, I thought you came out of the pot."

Copper Pot: "Fool."

Xiao Yuanjing smiled embarrassedly: "But it's true, what kind of place is the imperial palace, even if you want to possess others, you can't get in."

Copper pot: "But you can leave the palace."

Xiao Yuanjing thought for a while, then shook his head and thought it was not feasible: "I tried, but I can't get out, I have to get the emperor's handwriting to get out of the palace."

After a moment of silence, the copper pot said: "It's okay, there should be an opportunity in these two days. If you grasp it well, you will have the opportunity to leave the palace. As long as you can leave the palace, I can come to you."

Xiao Yuanjing made an appointment with his brother Guo to meet, and suddenly there was hope in his heart, and he nodded repeatedly.

Xiao Yuanjing has never met a netizen before, and he did not expect to meet a netizen in ancient times. Although Xiao Yuanjing knew that the person he wanted to meet was not Brother Guo himself, as long as he could meet him face to face in a human way Sitting, having a meal, and drinking a glass of wine, it is not in vain for the help Brother Guo gave him for so long in ancient times.

And after discussing the meeting with Tongguo, the bedroom was quiet for several days. Xiao Yuanjing just thought it was Brother Guo looking for someone to possess him and didn't care. There is an opportunity to leave the palace.

After the emperor's birthday, Princess Yuanchun and her son-in-law also stayed in the capital for two days before returning to Yumen Pass.

And not long after Princess Yuanchun left, news came from the northern border that the son of King Zhenbei was assassinated and injured, and asked the emperor to allow him to return to Beijing to recuperate. , Xiao Yuanjing learned about it.

Xiao Yuanjing carefully touched the folded newspaper, could it be the opportunity that Brother Guo said?

After careful consideration, he decided to have lunch with the Empress Dowager at Ci'an Hall.

Xiao Yuanjing once heard the Empress Dowager mention this son of King Zhenbei, he was able to go to the battlefield with King Zhenbei at the age of 13, a god of soldiers, he won many battles, and he was able to lead a battalion alone at the age of 15.

Later, he invented the firecracker, which can hurt people at a hundred steps, and he never lost a single battle. He was called the youngest God of War in Daliang.

Moreover, the son of Prince Zhenbei is still the grandnephew of the queen mother. Although the son's biological mother is the Langya Wang family, his grandmother is the sister of the queen mother's compatriots. It is very kind and trustworthy.

It was precisely because of this that Xiao Yuanjing heard that the prince of Zhenbei was going back to Beijing to recuperate from his injuries, and the emperor was going to repair the Zhenbei Palace in the capital, so Xiao Yuanjing paid attention to the Queen Mother.

Xiao Yuanjing carefully placed a piece of fish with the thorns picked out on the Empress Dowager's plate, and the Empress Dowager was delighted to see it:

"You, obviously there is a maid serving food, but you have to do it yourself, eat it yourself, don't be hungry."

Xiao Yuanjing smiled at the queen mother: "Grandma eats happily, grandson is happy, grandma, eat quickly."
