People who have been teased by me say they won't let me go [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 81 King's Landing (9)
For several days in a row, Xia Chengqi lived with Jinshen in Dongyuan. Since Master Chen was annoyed that day, King Gu seemed to have given up the idea of asking them for another master.
Jinshen studied hard behind closed doors every day, and Xia Chengqi also pretended to copy Jinshen's handwriting, and occasionally came over to ask curiously: "Brother, what does this word read?"
Jinshen put down the ancient book in his hand, pointed at the blob of ink that Xia Chengqi had copied with his fingertips, and said softly, "This is Nian Jin."
"Jin Shen's Jin?"
Jin Shen smiled, and said to him in a clear voice, "It's also Jin Yu's Jin."
Xia Chengqi looked at him with blinked eyes, and said discouragedly: "But I can't write handwriting like my brother's."
Jinshen met his eyes, but avoided for a moment uncomfortably, pursed his lips, held Xia Chengqi's hand holding the pen with one hand, stroke by stroke, and wrote a character Jin on the paper, elegant and unrestrained.
"Wow——" Xia Chengqi looked at the word and said in surprise: "It's obviously the same pen, but my brother's writing is much better than mine. Mine looks like a dog's planing."
Children, if you flatter and praise a few words from time to time, you will be able to remember your kindness.
Jinshen picked up his unread ancient book as if nothing had happened, and said, "Write carefully, and you can write well too."
Seeing that he didn't respond at all, Xia Chengqi secretly sighed, this child is not easy to coax.
Continue to lean on the table, the hair on both sides of the sideburns hangs lightly on the sides, a few strands stick to the corner of the mouth, the child's rosy mouth pouted slightly, biting the pen holder in his mouth, frowning from time to time, white teeth Biting the tip of the pen, looking at the copied paper with a troubled look...
All of Jinshen's energy was attracted by Xia Chengqi, his eyes were dark, and he couldn't read a single word of the ancient books that he was determined to specialize in. Caught off guard, Xia Chengqi turned his head and looked at him, suddenly, four relative to each other.
Xia Chengqi was stunned for a moment, and then quickly grinned again, "Brother is lazy, he doesn't study, he must want to go outside to play."
Jin Shen looked away in a panic, at that moment his heartbeat seemed to be a little fast, his breathing was a little disordered, as if someone had seen some secret, and he was extremely uncomfortable.
The embarrassment made him speak nonsense, "Nonsense, you think I'm you, always wanting to go out and play?"
Xia Chengqi poked his forehead with the pen, "Then brother didn't read a book just now, what are you reading?"
"Supervise whether you are being lazy."
Xia Chengqi muttered a few words: "Obviously I was lazy, but also said to supervise me."
Jinshen heard this sentence, picked up the ancient book solemnly, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.
There is a charcoal fire inside the house to keep you warm, there is snow outside the house, there are ancient books to read in your hands, and there are...
Seeing Jinyu earnestly copying her own handwriting stroke by stroke, earnest profile face, drooping eyebrows, reddish nose tip, slightly hooked smile at the corners of her mouth from time to time, Jinshen's slightly curved eye corners, lowered eyebrows and a slight smile, in fact, this There is nothing wrong with planting a day.
"Brother, the word Jin is so difficult to write."
"I'll teach you one more time, the last time. If you don't write well again, my brother will hit your palm."
"No, then I won't write."
"Ok?"
"Brother teach me two more times, no, three times."
"Okay, I will teach you." Actually, if possible, I would like to teach you thousands of times.
There was a voice from outside the room breaking the warmth of the room, "Send to the little grandson, there is an imperial decree, the prince asked the servants to invite the little grandson to go to the main hall to receive the decree."
Xia Chengqi and Jin Shen looked at each other, and they both saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
There was no response in the room, and Eunuch Lu said again: "Slave Lu Fu..."
Before he finished speaking, Xia Chengqi pushed open the door, "Let's go."
Since it was an imperial decree, Jinshen should also go there together.
When they arrived at the main hall, King Gu was sitting on a high seat, taking a nap with his eyes closed.
Xia Chengqi didn't see King Gu for a few days, and he didn't feel anything when he didn't see him, but when he met, he felt like three autumns had passed.
There is also a father-in-law standing in the hall, holding a light yellow imperial edict in his hand.
Seeing someone coming, Gu Wang opened his eyes and nodded to the father-in-law.
The father-in-law bowed slightly, stood in front of Xia Chengqi and Jin Shen, and slowly unfolded the imperial edict.
"Jinyu accepts the order—"
Both Xia Chengqi and Jinshen knelt down.
"Following the fate of the heavens, the emperor's edict said, Jinyu, the prince's son-in-law, has an outstanding appearance, is talented and beautiful, and obeys public opinion. I would like to tell the world, the ancestral temple, and the community that Jinyu will be awarded the treasure, and he will be the grandson of the emperor, and he will be in the East Palace." , to respect the rule of thousands of years, to tie the heart of the world, to admire this."
Xia Chengqi knelt there and stared blankly at the imperial decree.
Has he been named the grandson of the emperor?
"Grandfather, please accept the order."
Xia Chengqi watched the father-in-law hand over the imperial decree to him with a smile on his face, and he still didn't recover for a while.
King Gu came down from his high position, took over the imperial decree for Jinyu, and said to the father-in-law: "Thank you, father-in-law, I will take Jinyu into the palace later to thank you."
Facing the mighty King Gu, even the father-in-law next to the emperor who has always been domineering must be respectful, not to mention the future emperor is here.
"The imperial decree has been issued, and the slave's mission has been fulfilled. Congratulate the grandson and King Gu again, and leave first."
"Father-in-law, walk slowly."
"My lord stay here."
After speaking, he left the hall with a group of young eunuchs.
King Gu pulled Xia Chengqi up, looked at his dazed little face, and said with a smile, "What's the matter? Haven't you recovered yet?"
Xia Chengqi was shocked, and looked at the imperial decree with a frown, "Why me?"
"You are the son of the crown prince, but who are you?"
Jin Shen's face suddenly turned pale.
Xia Chengqi said distressedly: "My brother is much better than me..."
King Gu glanced at Jinshen who was standing on the side, and said again: "You are the eldest son, this position is what you deserve!"
King Gu handed over the imperial decree to Xia Chengqi, "You must keep the imperial decree, hold it, and the emperor will take you into the palace to thank you."
Xia Chengqi was unwilling, but still nodded reluctantly.
"Jin Shen, let's go back first."
Jinshen lowered his head, answered yes, and slowly backed away with a distraught look.
Xia Chengqi and Gu Wang went to the palace to thank him, and Jinshen returned to Dongyuan, and continued to read the unfinished ancient book carefully, but he could no longer settle down.
He thought of the imperial decree, the position, and the prince's instructions and earnest teachings, and he clenched his hands tightly. Now his mood is like the snow on the old tree branches outside the window, which is about to fall.
The cold wind whizzed in, making the dead branches sway, and the white snow piled up on the branches was crumbling. When it was blown by the wind, it fell to the ground and merged into the white snow.
Jinshen put the ancient book that he held into a ball on the desk, and looked at the calligraphy and painting copied by Xia Chengqi. The jet-black pen and ink outlined the handwriting of different sizes, twists and turns, and even accumulated ink in several places group.
Jin.
Jin.
Jin.
Is Jin Shen's Jin?
It's also Jinyu's Jin.
Jinyu's Jin, what I taught you has always been Jinyu's Jin.
It's just a pity, what a pity.
Jinshen picked up the paper and slowly rolled it into a ball in his palm.
What a pity.
I could go on like this. I can teach you to read and write. When you grow up, when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming in front of the window, maybe you can dance swords in the courtyard and the house is covered with snow. Maybe you and I can have a drink in front of the window.
The future outlined is beautiful, but unfortunately, I still can't deceive myself.
"Little master."
Jinshen came back to his senses, looked at San Fu who was silent beside him, "San Fu, what's the matter?"
Sanfu raised his head, and the previously low-browed pleasing eyes in his eyes were replaced by a look of cruelty.
"The slave just wants to remind the master that the position of grandson has been taken away by him."
"I know."
"I don't know if the little master still remembers the master's instructions."
"I remember."
Sanfu took out a white jade bottle from his bosom, handed it to Jinshen, "Then please make a decisive decision, little master."
Jinshen didn't take the white jade bottle, but asked instead: "If I hurt him, how can I get away, and besides, without him, can I be a grandson?"
"This medicine can't see the blood and seal the throat, but it will make people feel so painful that life is worse than death."
Jinshen clenched his fists tightly, "You want me to hold him hostage?"
"Since the grandson's candidate has been decided, you are the elder brother of the grandson, and now he is the closest to you, so it's natural that no one will notice this medicine."
Jinshen said in pain: "Being controlled by this medicine, from now on, he will obediently listen to me, even..."
"Even, give up all these thousands of miles of land and mountains."
Jin Shen's voice was hoarse, he looked at the white jade bottle, and backed away again and again.
"This medicine..."
"Master, don't worry, this medicine can't kill you, but it makes you feel unbearably painful. Once a big man couldn't bear the pain, bit his tongue and killed himself on the spot. It was used on the pampered grandson of the emperor. Only one attack will make the grandson obedient. .”
"Shut up!" Jin Shen kicked Sanfu's knee violently, and Sanfu knelt down, raised his hand, and continued to hold the white jade bottle in his palm.
"I implore the little master to be decisive, and don't disappoint the prince's painstaking efforts!"
"No, this won't work! There are other ways."
Sanfu looked at him fiercely, and said persuasively, "Young master, do you want to see this thousand miles of land surrounded by others? What kind of thing is Jinyu, why should he occupy your position! That position should have been yours in the first place." !"
Jinshen thought of Jinyu who followed behind him calling elder brother, Nuo Nuo calling elder brother, who cried when his palms were scratched a little, who developed a high fever when he was exposed to a little cold, and who knelt for a while and his knees turned blue before reaching his chest, But I always ask myself whether it hurts or not.
"Could it be that little master was deceived by Jinyu's sweet words these days?"
Jinshen subconsciously retorted, "He never lied to me."
"Regardless of whether it is true or false, the little master must do this. You are the prince's parent and son, and you shoulder the heavy responsibility of the country. You must not let your emotions be swayed by a little affection."
Jinshen looked at the white jade bottle and said with difficulty: "He is only ten years old, he can't stand this poison..."
"Does the little master want to make the prince feel cold in the sky?"
Jinshen was trembling all over, holding the white jade bottle with difficulty, it was as heavy as a thousand catties, holding it in the palm of his hand, he was even more dizzy than before.
Sanfu took a deep look at him, kowtowed and said, "Your servant will leave."
Holding the white jade bottle in one hand and the ball of rice paper in the other, Jinshen stood there quietly, not regaining consciousness for a long time.
Xia Chengqi and King Gu went to the palace to express their gratitude, but they came back within half a day. The decree of conferring grandson had been made, and the next canonization ceremony was chosen three days later.
On the carriage back home, Xia Chengqi still didn't quite understand, and couldn't help asking King Gu, "Uncle Emperor, why did the Emperor want to make me grandson?"
"You are the prince's legitimate son, as you should."
Xia Chengqi has that self-knowledge.
"But the emperor also has a son. Isn't Prince Duan his and the queen's son? Moreover, the emperor doesn't like the prince, and he didn't like me since he was a child. Suddenly he named me a grandson. I really... can't understand."
King Gu smiled, "You can see clearly."
Xia Chengqi curled his lips, "Where is it that I can see clearly, this is clearly right in front of my eyes."
"You can take whatever the emperor gives you, whether you can take it or not, take it, if you can't take it, there will be the emperor's uncle to help you take it, you just need to feel at ease and don't worry about other things. "
"But..." Xia Chengqi suddenly thought of something, widened his eyes in surprise and said: "Uncle Huang, could it be that the emperor is doing this to give Duan Wangshu a shield."
"shield?"
"Yes, princes have been shields since ancient times. Throughout the ages, several princes have ascended the throne, and when they were established, they were all deposed."
King Gu laughed, "Don't worry, this won't happen to you."
"why?"
"Because those deposed princes don't have uncles, but you do."
Xia Chengqi was stunned, what was the reason?
King Gu smiled, "You and Jinshen seem to be very close these few days."
"He is my elder brother, so I naturally want to be close to him."
Gu Wangruo said nonchalantly: "There is one more thing, you must keep it firmly in mind."
Xia Chengqi looked at him, the carriage stopped, and the father-in-law outside the carriage said respectfully: "My lord, the palace is here."
King Gu hugged him in his arms, leaned close to his ear and whispered, "From now on, you probably don't have an elder brother, only an uncle."
Xia Chengqi was in his arms, no brother?
I was confused at first, but I thought about it in an instant.
Throughout the ages, in the royal family, the relationship between father and son, brotherhood, is more moving than the throne.
but--
It's none of my business, I don't care about the throne, I really care about it!
If you can exchange a throne for a heart value, even if you abuse me a thousand times, I am willing!
King Gu carried him into the mansion in his arms, and when all the dust settled, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I let you mess around these few days, and I will be the grandson in the future, and you can't control big and small things."
Xia Chengqi sighed, "I see."
The tone was rather helpless. Throughout the ages, the heir to the throne has been so reluctant, so he is the only one.
After Xie En came back from the palace, Xia Chengqi was detained in King Gu's bedroom, even if he went out, a large group of people followed him.
Wanted to visit Dongyuan, but Gu Wang refused without hesitation.
Xia Chengqi was a little distressed, but also a little helpless, he was reluctant to be a grandson, he knew it, King Gu knew it, but Jinshen didn't know, would he have a secret rift with him because of this, would he So keep a distance from me. After all, everyone is the prince's son. Will he hate me because of this?
It's hard to get so much goodwill in front of him, and to protect him carefully, will you forget that you are good to him because of the position of the great-grandson?
This won't work, you have to communicate with him, and you can't let him misunderstand.
Xia Chengqi rubbed his chin, if he could, he could hand over the throne to him in the future, maybe he could earn a wave of sincerity.
The rare sun was shining outside, and the white snow seemed to be melting.
Xia Chengqi walked out of the hall, and the servants following behind him made him not very annoying.
"I said, can you not follow me?"
Eunuch Lu accompanied him with a smiling face, "Young master, now that you are the grandson, naturally you want to..."
Xia Chengqi didn't want to listen to his nonsense, raised his head, cleared his throat, and said solemnly: "Since you all said that I am the grandson, will you listen to what the grandson says?"
"Of course I will listen to what you say."
"Well, you all stay here and don't follow me anymore."
Lu Gonggong looked distressed, "But the prince ordered..."
"Presumptuous! Just now you said you would listen to me, but now you are talking back! What is this? Deception?"
"This……"
"If you don't want me to punish you, then stay here honestly and don't follow me, otherwise..." Xia Chengqi threatened: "Otherwise, I will have someone beat you!"
Eunuch Lu was in a dilemma, Xia Chengqi sighed and continued: "Grandpa Lu, I'll just go out for a while, a little while, and I'll come back after a stick of incense, okay?"
Eunuch Lu remembered Xia Chengqi also said in front of him during the emperor's birthday banquet, go to the East Palace and take a look.
result……
"No, the lord has ordered the servant not to leave you for half a step, and you are not allowed to go to Dongyuan."
"It's okay if I go to see my brother? Is it okay to say a few words?"
Eunuch Lu was categorical, "No way!"
"Grandpa Lu~"
Eunuch Lu sighed, "This..."
"A little while? Just a little while~"
Sigh again.
"Please~"
"But there are guards outside the hall, so you can't get out."
Xia Chengqi giggled, "I have a solution."
So Xia Chengqi mingled among a group of people and left the palace gate.
As soon as he left the palace gate, he couldn't wait to run towards Dongyuan.
"Brother, brother..." Xia Chengqi panted, looked at Jin Shen who was sitting by the window and smiled, "Brother."
Jinshen got up and saluted him, "I've seen the grandson."
Xia Chengqi's enthusiasm was completely wiped out by these four words in an instant, and he couldn't help thinking, "Brother..."
"What's the matter?"
Xia Chengqi said aggrievedly: "Brother and I are separated, because of that imperial decree?"
"No, it's courtesy."
Xia Chengqi tugged at the hem of his clothes and whispered: "I would rather my brother be a great-grandson."
Jin Shen looked cautious, "Don't say that."
Xia Chengqi explained: "My brother doesn't have to be so different from me, my things belong to my brother too."
"Some things just can't be shared."
Xia Chengqi resolutely said: "Yes!"
Jin Shen looked at him deeply, with extremely painful eyes, "Jin Yu..."
"If my brother likes it, I can give it to him."
"Your servant has met your grandson." Sanfu walked in from outside the house, holding two cups of tea, "My slave congratulates your grandson and congratulates your grandson."
Xia Chengqi looked at him with mixed anger, "Don't say congratulations to me in the future."
Sanfu smiled, and handed a cup of tea to Xia Chengqi, and another cup of tea to Jinshen, "Yes, the slave obeyed, but the grandson and the master have talked for so long, so he must be thirsty. Drink a cup." Tea."
Xia Chengqi held the cup of tea in his hand, and blew on it lightly, the mist rose up, making his eyes moist.
[Warning, host, there is an unknown drug in this cup of tea. ]
Xia Cheng paused, [Is it poisonous? ]
[Have. ]
[Then... will you die? ]
[From the perspective of dosage, it should not be. ]
Xia Chengqi raised his head, looked at Jinshen with a smile on his face, and blinked, "Why does my brother keep looking at me?"
With a stick in his throat, Jin Shen said, "I just..."
Xia Chengqi held the cup of tea and blew a few more breaths, "This tea is so hot."
"Then drink later."
"Of course you have to drink hot tea in such a cold day. If it's cold, it won't taste good."
Sanfu smiled and said, "The grandson's words are right, of course we should drink hot tea in cold weather."
Xia Chengqi looked at the tea leaves that floated up from the cup and were scalded by hot water, "Unfortunately, I don't like tea, it's a bit bitter."
Jinshen's throat tightened, "Don't you like to drink? Then..."
Sanfu coughed.
"Try it, it's bitter and sweet, and it's fragrant."
Xia Chengqi tilted his head and looked at him, "Will brother teach me to write in the future?"
"of course."
Xia Chengqi smiled, with a pure smile on his face, "The brother promised me, don't go back on it."
"What I promised you, I will naturally not go back on my word."
"Okay." Xia Chengqi made a gesture to drink up the teacup, Jinshen and Sanfu's hearts were raised in their throats, but——
"Brother, in fact, mine belongs to my brother. No matter what it is, I am willing to share it with my brother."
Jin Shen did not speak.
Oh, it turns out that these days he raised an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf.
Forget it, what's so sad, anyway, I just want to get my true value, I take what I need, there is nothing to be sorry for, hey, please satisfy him, just treat it as earning your true value.
Putting it to his mouth, just as he was about to drink it down, hurried footsteps came from the courtyard, King Gu kicked the door open, Xia Chengqi looked at him with a smile, and suddenly drank the tea cup.
But at the same moment——
"No drinking!"
There was a sound of fury, and the empty teacup in Xia Chengqi's hand fell into pieces. Looking at the furious King Gu, the tears in his eyes seemed to be broken, and he couldn't help it no matter what.
Jinshen studied hard behind closed doors every day, and Xia Chengqi also pretended to copy Jinshen's handwriting, and occasionally came over to ask curiously: "Brother, what does this word read?"
Jinshen put down the ancient book in his hand, pointed at the blob of ink that Xia Chengqi had copied with his fingertips, and said softly, "This is Nian Jin."

Xia Chengqi knelt there and stared blankly at the imperial decree.

"This medicine..."
"Master, don't worry, this medicine can't kill you, but it makes you feel unbearably painful. Once a big man couldn't bear the pain, bit his tongue and killed himself on the spot. It was used on the pampered grandson of the emperor. Only one attack will make the grandson obedient. .”
"Shut up!" Jin Shen kicked Sanfu's knee violently, and Sanfu knelt down, raised his hand, and continued to hold the white jade bottle in his palm.
"I implore the little master to be decisive, and don't disappoint the prince's painstaking efforts!"
"No, this won't work! There are other ways."
Sanfu looked at him fiercely, and said persuasively, "Young master, do you want to see this thousand miles of land surrounded by others? What kind of thing is Jinyu, why should he occupy your position! That position should have been yours in the first place." !"
Jinshen thought of Jinyu who followed behind him calling elder brother, Nuo Nuo calling elder brother, who cried when his palms were scratched a little, who developed a high fever when he was exposed to a little cold, and who knelt for a while and his knees turned blue before reaching his chest, But I always ask myself whether it hurts or not.
"Could it be that little master was deceived by Jinyu's sweet words these days?"
Jinshen subconsciously retorted, "He never lied to me."
"Regardless of whether it is true or false, the little master must do this. You are the prince's parent and son, and you shoulder the heavy responsibility of the country. You must not let your emotions be swayed by a little affection."
Jinshen looked at the white jade bottle and said with difficulty: "He is only ten years old, he can't stand this poison..."
"Does the little master want to make the prince feel cold in the sky?"
Jinshen was trembling all over, holding the white jade bottle with difficulty, it was as heavy as a thousand catties, holding it in the palm of his hand, he was even more dizzy than before.
Sanfu took a deep look at him, kowtowed and said, "Your servant will leave."
Holding the white jade bottle in one hand and the ball of rice paper in the other, Jinshen stood there quietly, not regaining consciousness for a long time.
Xia Chengqi and King Gu went to the palace to express their gratitude, but they came back within half a day. The decree of conferring grandson had been made, and the next canonization ceremony was chosen three days later.
On the carriage back home, Xia Chengqi still didn't quite understand, and couldn't help asking King Gu, "Uncle Emperor, why did the Emperor want to make me grandson?"
"You are the prince's legitimate son, as you should."
Xia Chengqi has that self-knowledge.
"But the emperor also has a son. Isn't Prince Duan his and the queen's son? Moreover, the emperor doesn't like the prince, and he didn't like me since he was a child. Suddenly he named me a grandson. I really... can't understand."
King Gu smiled, "You can see clearly."
Xia Chengqi curled his lips, "Where is it that I can see clearly, this is clearly right in front of my eyes."
"You can take whatever the emperor gives you, whether you can take it or not, take it, if you can't take it, there will be the emperor's uncle to help you take it, you just need to feel at ease and don't worry about other things. "
"But..." Xia Chengqi suddenly thought of something, widened his eyes in surprise and said: "Uncle Huang, could it be that the emperor is doing this to give Duan Wangshu a shield."
"shield?"
"Yes, princes have been shields since ancient times. Throughout the ages, several princes have ascended the throne, and when they were established, they were all deposed."
King Gu laughed, "Don't worry, this won't happen to you."
"why?"
"Because those deposed princes don't have uncles, but you do."
Xia Chengqi was stunned, what was the reason?
King Gu smiled, "You and Jinshen seem to be very close these few days."
"He is my elder brother, so I naturally want to be close to him."
Gu Wangruo said nonchalantly: "There is one more thing, you must keep it firmly in mind."
Xia Chengqi looked at him, the carriage stopped, and the father-in-law outside the carriage said respectfully: "My lord, the palace is here."
King Gu hugged him in his arms, leaned close to his ear and whispered, "From now on, you probably don't have an elder brother, only an uncle."
Xia Chengqi was in his arms, no brother?
I was confused at first, but I thought about it in an instant.
Throughout the ages, in the royal family, the relationship between father and son, brotherhood, is more moving than the throne.
but--
It's none of my business, I don't care about the throne, I really care about it!
If you can exchange a throne for a heart value, even if you abuse me a thousand times, I am willing!
King Gu carried him into the mansion in his arms, and when all the dust settled, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I let you mess around these few days, and I will be the grandson in the future, and you can't control big and small things."
Xia Chengqi sighed, "I see."
The tone was rather helpless. Throughout the ages, the heir to the throne has been so reluctant, so he is the only one.
After Xie En came back from the palace, Xia Chengqi was detained in King Gu's bedroom, even if he went out, a large group of people followed him.
Wanted to visit Dongyuan, but Gu Wang refused without hesitation.
Xia Chengqi was a little distressed, but also a little helpless, he was reluctant to be a grandson, he knew it, King Gu knew it, but Jinshen didn't know, would he have a secret rift with him because of this, would he So keep a distance from me. After all, everyone is the prince's son. Will he hate me because of this?
It's hard to get so much goodwill in front of him, and to protect him carefully, will you forget that you are good to him because of the position of the great-grandson?
This won't work, you have to communicate with him, and you can't let him misunderstand.
Xia Chengqi rubbed his chin, if he could, he could hand over the throne to him in the future, maybe he could earn a wave of sincerity.
The rare sun was shining outside, and the white snow seemed to be melting.
Xia Chengqi walked out of the hall, and the servants following behind him made him not very annoying.
"I said, can you not follow me?"
Eunuch Lu accompanied him with a smiling face, "Young master, now that you are the grandson, naturally you want to..."
Xia Chengqi didn't want to listen to his nonsense, raised his head, cleared his throat, and said solemnly: "Since you all said that I am the grandson, will you listen to what the grandson says?"
"Of course I will listen to what you say."
"Well, you all stay here and don't follow me anymore."
Lu Gonggong looked distressed, "But the prince ordered..."
"Presumptuous! Just now you said you would listen to me, but now you are talking back! What is this? Deception?"
"This……"
"If you don't want me to punish you, then stay here honestly and don't follow me, otherwise..." Xia Chengqi threatened: "Otherwise, I will have someone beat you!"
Eunuch Lu was in a dilemma, Xia Chengqi sighed and continued: "Grandpa Lu, I'll just go out for a while, a little while, and I'll come back after a stick of incense, okay?"
Eunuch Lu remembered Xia Chengqi also said in front of him during the emperor's birthday banquet, go to the East Palace and take a look.
result……
"No, the lord has ordered the servant not to leave you for half a step, and you are not allowed to go to Dongyuan."
"It's okay if I go to see my brother? Is it okay to say a few words?"
Eunuch Lu was categorical, "No way!"
"Grandpa Lu~"
Eunuch Lu sighed, "This..."
"A little while? Just a little while~"
Sigh again.
"Please~"
"But there are guards outside the hall, so you can't get out."
Xia Chengqi giggled, "I have a solution."
So Xia Chengqi mingled among a group of people and left the palace gate.
As soon as he left the palace gate, he couldn't wait to run towards Dongyuan.
"Brother, brother..." Xia Chengqi panted, looked at Jin Shen who was sitting by the window and smiled, "Brother."
Jinshen got up and saluted him, "I've seen the grandson."
Xia Chengqi's enthusiasm was completely wiped out by these four words in an instant, and he couldn't help thinking, "Brother..."
"What's the matter?"
Xia Chengqi said aggrievedly: "Brother and I are separated, because of that imperial decree?"
"No, it's courtesy."
Xia Chengqi tugged at the hem of his clothes and whispered: "I would rather my brother be a great-grandson."
Jin Shen looked cautious, "Don't say that."
Xia Chengqi explained: "My brother doesn't have to be so different from me, my things belong to my brother too."
"Some things just can't be shared."
Xia Chengqi resolutely said: "Yes!"
Jin Shen looked at him deeply, with extremely painful eyes, "Jin Yu..."
"If my brother likes it, I can give it to him."
"Your servant has met your grandson." Sanfu walked in from outside the house, holding two cups of tea, "My slave congratulates your grandson and congratulates your grandson."
Xia Chengqi looked at him with mixed anger, "Don't say congratulations to me in the future."
Sanfu smiled, and handed a cup of tea to Xia Chengqi, and another cup of tea to Jinshen, "Yes, the slave obeyed, but the grandson and the master have talked for so long, so he must be thirsty. Drink a cup." Tea."
Xia Chengqi held the cup of tea in his hand, and blew on it lightly, the mist rose up, making his eyes moist.
[Warning, host, there is an unknown drug in this cup of tea. ]
Xia Cheng paused, [Is it poisonous? ]
[Have. ]
[Then... will you die? ]
[From the perspective of dosage, it should not be. ]
Xia Chengqi raised his head, looked at Jinshen with a smile on his face, and blinked, "Why does my brother keep looking at me?"
With a stick in his throat, Jin Shen said, "I just..."
Xia Chengqi held the cup of tea and blew a few more breaths, "This tea is so hot."
"Then drink later."
"Of course you have to drink hot tea in such a cold day. If it's cold, it won't taste good."
Sanfu smiled and said, "The grandson's words are right, of course we should drink hot tea in cold weather."
Xia Chengqi looked at the tea leaves that floated up from the cup and were scalded by hot water, "Unfortunately, I don't like tea, it's a bit bitter."
Jinshen's throat tightened, "Don't you like to drink? Then..."
Sanfu coughed.
"Try it, it's bitter and sweet, and it's fragrant."
Xia Chengqi tilted his head and looked at him, "Will brother teach me to write in the future?"
"of course."
Xia Chengqi smiled, with a pure smile on his face, "The brother promised me, don't go back on it."
"What I promised you, I will naturally not go back on my word."
"Okay." Xia Chengqi made a gesture to drink up the teacup, Jinshen and Sanfu's hearts were raised in their throats, but——
"Brother, in fact, mine belongs to my brother. No matter what it is, I am willing to share it with my brother."
Jin Shen did not speak.
Oh, it turns out that these days he raised an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf.
Forget it, what's so sad, anyway, I just want to get my true value, I take what I need, there is nothing to be sorry for, hey, please satisfy him, just treat it as earning your true value.
Putting it to his mouth, just as he was about to drink it down, hurried footsteps came from the courtyard, King Gu kicked the door open, Xia Chengqi looked at him with a smile, and suddenly drank the tea cup.
But at the same moment——
"No drinking!"
There was a sound of fury, and the empty teacup in Xia Chengqi's hand fell into pieces. Looking at the furious King Gu, the tears in his eyes seemed to be broken, and he couldn't help it no matter what.
