The gentleman is a bit cheap

Smiling, he said in a high-pitched voice: "General Xiao... Ouch! Look at our family's mouth, it's really a sin, a sin. ——General Xiao, today I have received the grace of the Holy Grace, and I am favored and generous. It is really the highest honor and the highest Glory!—”

His good words were just for the sake of winning prizes.

General Xiao Shang naturally understood.

So she smiled slightly, took two steps forward, made a gesture of sincerity, and said in a slow voice: "Isn't it thanks to the father-in-law? From now on, when the little girl enters the palace, I will have father-in-law to take care of you."

As he said that, he rolled up his sleeves, and sent a round, egg-sized, crisp and bright night pearl to the eunuch Xuan Zhi's sleeve.

"It's easy to say, easy to say." The Xuanzhi eunuch nodded slightly and smiled, tacitly understanding each other.

All the eunuchs in the palace are like this, they keep their etiquette and talk, but whether they can do it or not is another matter.

This is the job they have up their sleeves in officialdom.

Xiao Xuanzhi smiled gracefully, stepped forward, took the arm of the eunuch Xuanzhi in a sincere gesture, took off the fine jade bracelet on his left wrist, and pressed it on the eunuch Xuanzhi's hand calmly.

Immediately, she said softly: "Sister She is still young and inexperienced, so she is inevitably dull and not enlightened. As a sister, I am always reluctant to forget my father-in-law's kindness of support..."

The eunuch Xuan Zhi's lips curled up, and he understood.There, he secretly praised this person for being clever and intelligent, and he was a financial master who could be relied on.

Therefore, the Xuanzhi eunuch lowered his voice and said slowly: "Missy is a smart and intelligent person, flying up to the branches is just around the corner."

Xiao Xuanzhi smiled slightly, and said softly: "Then I will borrow my father-in-law's good words."

The eunuch Xuan Zhi nodded, then turned around and waved his hands slightly behind him: "It's getting late, our family should go back and report to our orders."

Xiao Xuanzhi nodded respectfully and said, "Eunuch, go slowly."

General Xiao Shang hurriedly took two young servants and went out to see them off.

After their backs disappeared from sight, Xiao Xuanzhi seemed to be falling apart, sighed heavily, collapsed to the ground, and wailed sadly: "It's bitter!——"

After half a cup of tea, General Xiao returned to the middle hall with a slightly panicked expression, and slumped on the grand master's chair in the upper seat.

Xiao Shuren carefully offered a cup of tea and called softly: "Master?..."

In this family, now, only Xiao Xuanzhi and General Xiao are the two backbones and smart people left.

Before, Xiao Xuanzhi sighed heavily "Bitter", but now, General Xiao is also panic-stricken and terrified.

This really startled Xiao Shuren.

For a moment, I was full of panic, not knowing what to do.

But she didn't know, this was a good imperial decree, how could it make their father and daughter cry like a concubine?

At this moment, Xiao Xuanzhi's face was pale, and he slumped down on the seat with his head lowered.

After a long silence, Xiao Xuanzhi just raised his head, looked directly at General Xiao, and said slowly: "Father, now, are you still thinking about your Majesty's identity as the 'Master of the Country'?"

General Xiao Shang sighed, shook his head, but did not speak.

Xiao Xuanzhi said coldly: "I wanted to plot against others, but unexpectedly, I was calculated first. ——Father, don't you think it's not good for you to be a military commander honestly?! You have to learn others' tricks.

Yes, your old man is smarter than ordinary people, but after all, you are still one foot taller than the devil. There are always smarter people who have dug a hole in front of you and prepared it for you old man! -"

General Xiao Shang finally sighed, beat his chest and feet with tears and said: "Daughter!——What should I do?!..."

Xiao Shuren was so frightened that she shuddered all over, and vainly supported her forehead, almost collapsing to the ground.

Panting for a while, Xiao Shuren drank another cup of tea to calm her mind. Just now, Xiao Shuren said hesitantly: "Lingcao, good daughter, you, you don't play charades with mother, mother really doesn't understand... this, this What kind of calculation is it? What's wrong?..."

Xiao Xuanzhi forced a smile, and said sadly: "The day of the draft is set to be in April next year. When I was 16 years old, I went to the selection once, and was given a sign by His Majesty."

Xiao Shuren nodded, her gaze narrowed slightly: "Yes.... so what?"

Xiao Xuanzhi said in a slow voice: "Entering the palace as an attendant without going through the draft... Oh, doesn't this mean that what His Majesty cares about is not women's beauty, nor tall, short, fat or thin.

What he cared about was only one identity, the identity of "General Xiao's daughter". "

General Xiao sighed deeply: "That's right..."

Xiao Xuanzhi laughed, and continued to say indifferently: "As long as it is General Xiao's daughter, it doesn't matter whether she is tall or short, fat or thin, beautiful or ugly.

After all, His Majesty, an old man, just wants to keep a 'hostage' by his side. "

Xiao Shuren looked at her husband in confusion.

General Xiao waved his hand, and signaled to his wife in a slow voice as if he was exhausted: "Let's just listen to Lingcao and continue."

Xiao Xuanzhi nodded, and continued: "Just because 'General Xiao's daughter' is by the Emperor's side, therefore, General Xiao dare not act rashly."

Xiao Shuren was still puzzled, so he hesitated and said, "Why... why?"

Xiao Xuanzhi twitched his lips, smiled coldly, and said slowly: "In the palace, what kind of crime should one be guilty of secretly giving and receiving with the guards and imperial physicians?"

Xiao Shuren's pupils shrank, and she couldn't help trembling.

I saw Xiao Xuanzhi said calmly and slowly: "The concubine is granted death, and the parents and relatives are dismissed from the army."

After thinking about it, Fang added, "Of course, the war is not over yet, and the world is still in turmoil. The emperor did this just to shake the mountain and shake the tiger, so that my father and you, the old man, know the seriousness, and you are afraid of him. It’s good to be restrained, and I don’t dare to act arrogantly.”

General Xiao Shang sighed: "Yes... not bad... not bad..."

Xiao Xuanzhi said slowly: "When the cunning rabbit dies, the lackey cooks; when the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden. ——My lord father, you are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case."

After all, she stared at him.

General Xiao propped his elbows on the table, lowered his eyes slightly, and sighed while resting his forehead: "I...I really shouldn't be so radical...to be so sharp...

But... daughter, but you know it!Daddy, I am really poor and scared! ...Daddy, I lived a hard life when I was a child, I was hungry!Even the Avalokitesvara clay has been eaten!I...me too..."

Xiao Xuanzhi nodded, and said: "Okay, Dad, don't say any more, I understand. You are not only for yourself, you are more for this family, for mother, for brother, for me, and There is a future for my younger sister. You just used the wrong means to seek skin from a tiger.

I think so, you may have been too ugly before, but His Majesty saw it, and it was because of this that you became jealous and wary of you.

I often sneak out to listen to people talk.In other words, the current Holy Majesty seems to be a man of great wisdom and foolishness. I guess, his favorite thing is to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.He just lays it down for you step by step calmly, until you step on it yourself, instead of him personally setting you up.

There is nothing more terrifying than this kind of person.He can make you die without knowing why you died, and he can even give you a little sympathy and comfort after you die, so that your survivors and relatives will cry and appreciate the grace of God. "

General Xiao slapped his thigh, and said bitterly: "It's over!—Now...it's hard to get off now, but is there another one?!——"

Xiao Xuanzhi smiled, and said calmly: "Yes... Now he still wants you to live, but he doesn't let you have a good life. Instead, he lives cautiously and cautiously like walking on thin ice."

General Xiao gritted his teeth, and slapped the table hard.

But Xiao Xuanzhi stroked his palm and said: "Haha, this guy is really interesting, I like it..."

General Xiao said calmly: "You..."

Xiao Xuanzhi looked straight at General Xiao, and after a long time, he smiled and said: "Let me go. Let me go to the palace as a 'plaything' for him.

Of course, I want to meet him and fight with him.After all, fighting with others is a lot of fun.I really want to see if I played with him or he played with me. "

General Xiao Shang hesitated and said, "This..."

Xiao Xuanzhi said slowly to General Xiao: "I heard that the Tenth Prince is a dedicated person. If so, you can marry our Lan'er over."

While talking, Xiao Xuanzhi gently embraced her younger sister Xiao Xuanlan into her arms, and gently stroked her hair.

After a long time, he said in a low voice, "Xuanzhi, Xuanlan...Zhilan Yushu...Father, Lan'er's name when she becomes an adult, but have you already drawn up for her?"

General Xiao Shang nodded and said: "That's right. Actually, I just wanted her to name it 'Yushu'. Spiritual grass and jade tree, it seems to be a good match."

"Han Xun..."

Xiao Xuanzhi's eyes lost focus, and he murmured, "Father, mother, I beg you to agree to my daughter's request... When Lan'er becomes an adult in the future, I will give Lan'er the word 'Han Xun', okay?..."

"Han Xun?... Isn't this... Isn't this the name you kept chanting when you were in a coma?... How? Does this have any special meaning?" Xiao Shuren asked carefully.

Xiao Xuanzhi's throat moved slightly, he pursed his lips, and said in a muffled voice: "It seems...it doesn't have any special meaning...I always think this name is good, it makes people's hearts move...

By the way, this is the name of the person I saved back then.Her name... seems to happen to have a word "blue"
