The loyal dog always follows me [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 21 Come after the extra episode 【Catching insects】
Xiaobai is a cat, a cat that lives in the palace.It didn't have a name at first, and the mother cat couldn't wait to drive it away when it was sensible. It used the unique communication method of the cat clan to say to itself: "I can't support you anymore, get out of here."
So Xiaobai started his own journey of wandering in the palace. He usually likes to steal the leftovers from the imperial dining room. From time to time, there are lovely court ladies who love to feed him. When he has nothing to do, he can also go to tease the mice.
Later, Xiaobai was adopted by a child, a child who looked about seven or eight years old, walked over like a moon surrounded by stars, accompanied by many eunuchs and court ladies.
At that time, Xiaobai had a dead mouse in his mouth, and was discovered by the people in the palace. The eunuch at the side kept yelling "unlucky", and wanted to send someone to throw it out by himself, but was stopped by the child.It heard his voice, immature but very imposing, he said to the eunuch who wanted to drive him away: "I like it very much, I want it."
Xiaobai became his favorite pet, and has since had a name.
The man said to it: "Since your whole body is snow-white, why not call you Xiaobai."
Xiaobai Miaomiao protested: Not at all majestic (ノ=Д=)ノ┻━┻ want to call me king!
However, its demeanor at this time is considered... It is very satisfied.Therefore, the protest is invalid!
Later, Xiaobai learned from other people that the person who took it in was the present prince.
The prince is not the emperor's own son, the prince is adopted from the clan.For some reason, the current emperor has not accepted any concubines, nor established a queen, and it is not that no ministers dare to object, but the emperor's attitude is too tough, and they can't do anything about him.
Therefore, if there is no accident, the prince will be the next emperor.
What's more, although the prince is young, he is extremely intelligent, so he is very favored. From the attitude of the palace people towards him, it can be seen that they are respectful and cautious, and they have not underestimated him at all just because he is young.
But Xiaobai has never seen the emperor. He heard from them that the emperor is very busy and deals with government affairs every day.So basically no time to visit the prince.
Xiaobai just finished foraging, licked his paws, washed his cheeks with his pink paws, tilted his head to look at the prince who was reading in the study, and walked over slowly.
"Meow?" It called out, its soft voice, although it was slight, was still heard by the prince.
The child put down the book, walked up to Xiaobai, and wanted to pick it up, but the cat turned its head arrogantly, flicked its tail, and seemed to be indifferent.
The prince was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand with a smile on his face, hugged the cat into his arms, and smoothed its fur, "Xiaobai, you have gained weight recently." The tone of the smile was full of jokes.
After all, he is still a child, no matter how mature he looks, he is still playful in his bones.
The cat was in his arms, looking up at him. Its blue eyes were as crystal clear as sapphires. It let out a soft cry, "Meow~".
The prince chuckled lightly.But if he could understand the cat's heart, he would know that this well-behaved cat was complaining about him at the moment.
Xiaobai: (╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻, fat you meow, I call it cute.
The prince was playing with the cat in his arms. The palace servants ran in in a panic. Seeing this, they called out, "Oh my little ancestor, why are you playing with the cat on the ground?"
The prince got up with his pet in his arms, and looked at the palace man with two pairs of eyes at the same time, one black and one blue, appearing extremely harmonious and tacit.
He frowned, and said, "Zhang Zi, what's the point of your yelling?"
"Prince, the emperor is coming this way. Look at you..." Before he finished speaking, he saw a person walk in and asked, "Oh? What's wrong here?"
A middle-aged man wearing a black robe stood outside the door, apparently waiting for a long time.
Seeing him, the palace servants hurriedly knelt down and said, "See the emperor."
The prince hugged the cat, staring blankly at the King of God, with a hint of joy clearly flashing in his eyes, "Royal Father!"
The man was wearing a black robe, and before he even opened his mouth, he could see the aura. It was the temperament of a person in a high position, and his every move was noble and extraordinary.
He seems to be in his thirties, but his appearance is quite handsome. Time has not left too many marks on him. If it is not for the vicissitudes occasionally revealed in his eyes, his real age cannot be seen.
The emperor looked at him, his eyes gradually moved down, and stayed on the cat in the prince's arms, as if thinking of something, his expression was slightly stunned.
Xiaobai's blue eyes met his gaze, blinked, and gave a soft "meow", as if saying hello to him.
The palace man was still kneeling on the ground, his heart was beating wildly, and he was very nervous.
Oops, the emperor has high hopes for the crown prince, and if he finds out that the crown prince is playful, he will definitely be furious.And the person who saw the emperor's anger many years ago is gone...
The emperor felt their panic, glanced at the eunuch on the ground, and said lightly: "You step back."
The palace man seemed to have been redeemed, and kept shouting "here", although his expression was a little flustered, he retreated in an orderly manner.
Turning his eyes to the prince again, he looked at the little prince for a long time, and when the prince thought he had done something wrong, he suddenly said: "A long time ago, I also raised a cat, which looked exactly like it. "
The prince raised his head in puzzlement and looked at him suspiciously.
The kitten in his arms also tilted his head in doubt, "Meow?" It seemed to express his incomprehension.
The emperor chuckled and patted his head lightly, "Jiajia, I will take you out of the palace tomorrow, okay?"
"Royal father?" The prince's eyes widened in surprise, and he looked at him shiningly. He tried hard to maintain his majesty with a straight face, but finally couldn't help it, and burst into a big smile.
The crown prince put down the cat, jumped on the emperor, and asked happily: "Father, are we going to fight for justice?"
The emperor just smiled and said nothing.
Many years ago, he also had a private visit with a person. At that time, he swore in his heart that he would never let that person go again. Unfortunately, he lost him in the end.
The capital of the Southern Chu Kingdom, as the capital of a country, looks extraordinarily prosperous.
Since the emperor came back from his tour, his personality has changed a lot, and he no longer killed innocent people indiscriminately. Instead, he changed his normal behavior and began to treat the people kindly.However, the emperor began to fall in love with the feeling of being alone in a daze. He was diligent and did not rest after finishing the memorial. He was alone in the study, staring into the distance and not letting anyone disturb him.If someone accidentally broke in, he would not just kill people casually as in the past. He would be dragged out and punished ten times with a cane, as a warning to others, and it would be over.
He tried to be a good emperor as that person taught him.
Prince Zhao Jiahua stood next to Zhao Zichu, a child of seven or eight years old, only reaching the height of his thigh.The child carefully clenched the corner of his clothes, looking around with bright eyes.
Seeing this, Zhao Zichu leaned over slightly and reached out to hold his hand.
The child's eyes became brighter.
Zhao Zichu held his hand and walked slowly, patiently introducing him from time to time things that are extremely novel to children.
Followed by two disguised eunuchs, bodyguards and secret guards did not follow behind, but mixed with pedestrians and vendors, secretly protecting the safety of the master.
Children are playful by nature, Zhao Jiahua looked around curiously while listening, looking at the small vendors on the street, his eyes moved to the candied haws stand a few meters away, his eyes lit up.
"Father..." He raised his face, originally wanted to call Father Emperor, but suddenly remembered Zhao Zichu's advice to him before leaving the palace, pointed to the stall and quickly changed his words: "Father, what is that? The color looks really nice, bright .”
"That's candied haws." Zhao Zichu explained with a slight smile.
Seeing this, the palace people behind him wisely went to the stall and bought a bunch of them.When Zhao Jiahua received the item, he was in high spirits.
"Father, you know a lot." His eyes were full of admiration.He seldom had the opportunity to see his father, and it was the first time that Zhao Zichu was so interested, and he even said that he would take him out of the palace to play.
"Because in the past, whenever I was unhappy, the prime minister would buy candied haws to coax me. In fact, he didn't know. I don't like sweet things at all. I just like his tone when he coaxes me, so gentle." Mentioned During the "Prime Minister", Zhao Zichu's expression suddenly became very gentle. He seemed to be caught in the good memories of the year, and his eyes were full of longing for a person.
Although the prince was young, he was brought into the palace as an heir since he was a child, and he was used to seeing all kinds of things in the palace, and he was extremely sensitive to certain things.He knew that the "Prime Minister" in his father's words must be a very important person to him.But why, he has never heard of this person, and it is said that since the emperor came to the throne, the post of prime minister has been vacant. not worthy.
Therefore, a message can be combined: the prime minister likes Tsing Yi, and the emperor misses him.No one is allowed to touch his taboo.
Who is the "Prime Minister" in the mouth of the father?
Zhao Zichu took the prince to many places, such as the school, the imperial examination room, the tea house, the racetrack and the slums.The young prince looked at the residence here, it was very dilapidated, not even comparable to the place where the lowest palace people lived.
But the people here did not exude a decadent atmosphere. On the contrary, many children had bright smiles on their faces. Even some of them would be discouraged and discouraged, but it was the same as what he had received from the officials' children before. The information about civilians is not the same.
He was exposed to a new world.
Zhao Zichu looked at him in shock, couldn't bear it, pondered, and felt a little satisfied.This child really has the demeanor of a benevolent emperor. As long as he is taught patiently, he will be a good emperor in the future.
"Let's go."
After getting into the carriage, Zhao Zichu kept looking outside, when the carriage passed by a place, he shouted "stop" to the outside.His eyes fixed on a place, which was a mansion that had been unoccupied for a long time, but it didn't look dilapidated.
The door is closed tightly, and for many years, he has not been able to wait for his master.
After staring at that place for a long time, he said calmly: "Let's go." The plain tone seemed to come from a distant place, illusory.
Before leaving, Zhao Jiahua looked curiously at the place where the man was looking just now, only to see that there were two flamboyant characters written on the door plaque of the mansion, "Xi Mansion".
In the imperial court, is there an official with the surname "Xi"?The prince was puzzled in his heart.
Xiaobai was very unhappy today, his owner actually left him and went out to play by himself!What an irresponsible host!It must have ignored him after he came back, hum ╭(╯^╰)╮.Don't take it with you if you have fun, QAQ are all bad guys.
Because the prince was not around, everyone in the palace was busy with other things, and didn't pay much attention to the situation in the East Palace. They just prepared Xiaobai's food when it was time to eat, so as not to starve His Highness's beloved pet.
On this day, Xiaobai ate the small dried fish prepared by the palace servants, licked his paws, and then slipped outside to play.
At this time, the prince just came back from outside the palace, and when he returned to the East Palace, he found that the kitten he raised was playful and went out. It was funny for a while, but he still didn't let other people go out to look for it, and read a book by himself.
Xiaobai knows the way, and will definitely come back after playing enough.His Royal Highness thought to himself.
The snow-white kitten chased the flying butterflies, ran and jumped in the garden, and trampled many precious flowers during the process, which made several palace officials in charge of the garden terrified.
"Oh, my little ancestor! I beg you to go to a place farther away to play... Oh, be careful! That is a rare and precious species that has just been tributed! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)"
Seeing the little white cat's "spicy claws destroying flowers" again and again, they wanted to stop it, but they were afraid of hurting it, so they couldn't do anything, and they were in a hurry.
However, after reporting it to the emperor, he said "let it go", and he could only watch it mess up the entire flower garden.
Xiaobai fluttered happily, unknowingly drifting away from the original place.
Suddenly, the nose moved slightly and smelled a familiar smell, but the butterfly had disappeared. Out of curiosity, it stepped on soft cat steps and walked towards the direction of the smell.
I saw the person I met before sitting quietly on the gazebo, walking alone, looking extraordinarily lonely.
After Zhao Zichu came back, his mood became a little heavy. At this time, he was sitting alone on the gazebo, with no one around him to serve him, obviously he was sent away by him.Inside and outside the gazebo, everything was very quiet.
Xiaobai looked at him, but didn't go over, just tilted his head and let out a cry. A cat is a very smart animal. At this moment, it sensed that person's aura of repelling people thousands of miles away, so naturally it wouldn't foolishly follow him. Go up and scold.
Zhao Zichu was brought back to his senses by its voice, raised his eyes to see it, and said, "So it's you."
This tone is like treating a friend who has not seen for a long time.
Xiaobai's blue eyes stared straight at Zhao Zichu, as if he was a little puzzled, then he flicked his tail and walked away staggeringly.
Zhao Zichu's face was expressionless, and his eyes were slightly red, which was very inconsistent with the expression on his face at this time, and it was impossible to guess his real thoughts.
After a long time, a very low voice came, "Xia Xia, when are you coming back?" The deep voice was like a sigh.
Since returning from that tour many years ago, his world has changed drastically.Xi Xiasheng disappeared in front of him, and then disappeared from everyone's memory as if this person had never appeared before.No one remembers him except himself.
As if someone tampered with their memory, slowly, the existence of this person was erased bit by bit.All the contributions that the prime minister had made to the Southern Chu Kingdom before became the work of him alone, and the post of prime minister became an official position that no one had ever held before.
Xia Xia was forgotten by this world, and he could never find him again.However, none of them knew that there was once such a person, the prime minister who had made great contributions to them.
They just remembered that it was a policy issued by the emperor.
That's right, everyone lost their memories of that time.
Any memory about Xi Xia.
Zhao Zichu thought in a daze.
After Xi Xia disappeared in full view that day, his memory began to be gradually forgotten by everyone.
First, the impression was blurred, and then the memory gradually faded, as if he had never been in this world.
Especially when his memory also started to become blurred, and he finally panicked.
One day, he inadvertently promulgated a policy that was beneficial to the people, and his memory stopped fading, and he suddenly remembered something.
Why did Xi Xia appear, and why did he insist on teaching him to be a good emperor.
A long time ago, Zhao Zichu knew that Xi Xia was not an ordinary person.He is very powerful, he seems to know everything, and nothing can trouble him, all the things that trouble others, after Xi Xia's hands, all problems will be solved easily.Before, he was persecuted by the queen mother, injured his body, and became dizzy from illness. In his confusion, he felt that someone fed him something, and soon he recovered from his illness.
Although he didn't see his appearance clearly at the time, he recognized the familiar smell on that person.
It's you, Xia Xia.
And the first emperor, because he was worried that he would not treat the queen well after a hundred years, so he wanted to abolish his crown prince.
The prime minister seemed to have known everything a long time ago. In the early days, he led a group of his own disciples, knelt down and begged the emperor to take back his order, and said bluntly: The prince has no faults, and he should not abolish his position as the heir apparent just because of his own selfishness.
Because of heavy pressure, his good father could not abolish himself.But the prime minister also received difficulties from his father.
In the end, it was an extremely coincidental thing to make myself really sure.
At that time, I would often go out of the palace to look for him.
It happened to be Xi Xia's birthday that day, in order to surprise him, Zhao Zichu didn't tell anyone, and quietly came to the Prime Minister's Mansion by himself, and didn't allow anyone to inform him.
As soon as he came outside the room, he heard Xi Xia's voice vaguely, as if he was talking to himself, or talking to someone, and then he heard a strange voice saying: "Now the progress of the mission has passed. Most of the time, we will be able to leave this world soon! Under Xia Xia's teaching, Zhao Zichu will definitely become a good emperor."
Zhao Zichu's mind was in a mess, he didn't think much about the weird content of their conversation, but he only had one thought in his heart: Xia Xia is going to leave me! ——I will leave after teaching me to be a good emperor.
There seemed to be a little beast in his heart clamoring not to, but he wouldn't allow it.But the expression on his face was calm.
After he came back from the Prime Minister's Mansion, he stayed alone in the room for a long time, and finally, he made a decision in his heart.
However, no matter what, even if he stayed with Xi Xia for ten more years, Xia Xia still left.
Zhao Zichu felt that all this has become meaningless, since the person who made him want to do this is gone, what's the use of his persistence.While Xi Xia's existence was gradually being erased, he began to clean up the mess he left behind.He thought, the reason why Xi Xia stayed was to make him better, and Xi Xia left because of his badness, so when he becomes a good emperor, will Xia Xia come back?With such a good wish, he did everything an emperor should do.
But at the same time, he found that no matter who it was, he had no memory of this prime minister who was once respected by many people. At first, he still remembered, but in the end, even his memory of Xi Xia gradually faded.
He began to panic about this, he was the only one in this world who remembered Xia Xia, if he also forgot, everything about Xia Xia would really disappear.If one day Xi Xia comes back, will she be angry?
He doesn't want to forget him.
He began to draw Xi Xia's appearance and left it on the scroll, so as not to let himself forget his appearance.After handling the memorial, he stayed alone in the study and recalled the time he spent with Xi Xia.
He and the prince went on tour outside the palace, just like himself and Xi Xia, inspecting the people's sentiments.He is very satisfied with the prince's performance. After a hundred years, the country will be handed over to him, and he will feel at ease. He doesn't want Xi Xia to see a corrupt country when he comes back.
But when he saw that the prime minister's mansion was still as lifeless as before, he suddenly realized one thing, Xi Xia would never come back again.
Thinking about this question, I stayed in the gazebo for a long time without knowing it.
Until, he saw a cat.
White hair and blue eyes, very much like the one I raised back then.
He lowered his eyes, as if he had returned to the past. At that time, he was still the young prince, and Xi Xia was still the tutor who taught him.Xia Xia can read many beautiful poems without books.
The gentle and pleasant voice sounded in his ears as if passing through time and space, and he was reciting——
"When the autumn wind rises, white clouds fly, and when the grass and trees fall yellow, the geese return to the south."
The author has something to say: This chapter is relatively long. I originally wanted to split it into two chapters, but I didn't want to whet everyone's appetite, so I sent it out all at once.
In fact, there are still many things that have not been finished. Like I said before, Xia Xia will eventually go back to that world.
But there should be no role for Zhao Zichu, right?
So Xiaobai started his own journey of wandering in the palace. He usually likes to steal the leftovers from the imperial dining room. From time to time, there are lovely court ladies who love to feed him. When he has nothing to do, he can also go to tease the mice.
Later, Xiaobai was adopted by a child, a child who looked about seven or eight years old, walked over like a moon surrounded by stars, accompanied by many eunuchs and court ladies.
At that time, Xiaobai had a dead mouse in his mouth, and was discovered by the people in the palace. The eunuch at the side kept yelling "unlucky", and wanted to send someone to throw it out by himself, but was stopped by the child.It heard his voice, immature but very imposing, he said to the eunuch who wanted to drive him away: "I like it very much, I want it."
Xiaobai became his favorite pet, and has since had a name.
The man said to it: "Since your whole body is snow-white, why not call you Xiaobai."
Xiaobai Miaomiao protested: Not at all majestic (ノ=Д=)ノ┻━┻ want to call me king!
However, its demeanor at this time is considered... It is very satisfied.Therefore, the protest is invalid!
Later, Xiaobai learned from other people that the person who took it in was the present prince.
The prince is not the emperor's own son, the prince is adopted from the clan.For some reason, the current emperor has not accepted any concubines, nor established a queen, and it is not that no ministers dare to object, but the emperor's attitude is too tough, and they can't do anything about him.
Therefore, if there is no accident, the prince will be the next emperor.
What's more, although the prince is young, he is extremely intelligent, so he is very favored. From the attitude of the palace people towards him, it can be seen that they are respectful and cautious, and they have not underestimated him at all just because he is young.
But Xiaobai has never seen the emperor. He heard from them that the emperor is very busy and deals with government affairs every day.So basically no time to visit the prince.
Xiaobai just finished foraging, licked his paws, washed his cheeks with his pink paws, tilted his head to look at the prince who was reading in the study, and walked over slowly.
"Meow?" It called out, its soft voice, although it was slight, was still heard by the prince.
The child put down the book, walked up to Xiaobai, and wanted to pick it up, but the cat turned its head arrogantly, flicked its tail, and seemed to be indifferent.
The prince was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand with a smile on his face, hugged the cat into his arms, and smoothed its fur, "Xiaobai, you have gained weight recently." The tone of the smile was full of jokes.
After all, he is still a child, no matter how mature he looks, he is still playful in his bones.
The cat was in his arms, looking up at him. Its blue eyes were as crystal clear as sapphires. It let out a soft cry, "Meow~".
The prince chuckled lightly.But if he could understand the cat's heart, he would know that this well-behaved cat was complaining about him at the moment.
Xiaobai: (╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻, fat you meow, I call it cute.
The prince was playing with the cat in his arms. The palace servants ran in in a panic. Seeing this, they called out, "Oh my little ancestor, why are you playing with the cat on the ground?"
The prince got up with his pet in his arms, and looked at the palace man with two pairs of eyes at the same time, one black and one blue, appearing extremely harmonious and tacit.
He frowned, and said, "Zhang Zi, what's the point of your yelling?"
"Prince, the emperor is coming this way. Look at you..." Before he finished speaking, he saw a person walk in and asked, "Oh? What's wrong here?"
A middle-aged man wearing a black robe stood outside the door, apparently waiting for a long time.
Seeing him, the palace servants hurriedly knelt down and said, "See the emperor."
The prince hugged the cat, staring blankly at the King of God, with a hint of joy clearly flashing in his eyes, "Royal Father!"
The man was wearing a black robe, and before he even opened his mouth, he could see the aura. It was the temperament of a person in a high position, and his every move was noble and extraordinary.
He seems to be in his thirties, but his appearance is quite handsome. Time has not left too many marks on him. If it is not for the vicissitudes occasionally revealed in his eyes, his real age cannot be seen.
The emperor looked at him, his eyes gradually moved down, and stayed on the cat in the prince's arms, as if thinking of something, his expression was slightly stunned.
Xiaobai's blue eyes met his gaze, blinked, and gave a soft "meow", as if saying hello to him.
The palace man was still kneeling on the ground, his heart was beating wildly, and he was very nervous.
Oops, the emperor has high hopes for the crown prince, and if he finds out that the crown prince is playful, he will definitely be furious.And the person who saw the emperor's anger many years ago is gone...
The emperor felt their panic, glanced at the eunuch on the ground, and said lightly: "You step back."
The palace man seemed to have been redeemed, and kept shouting "here", although his expression was a little flustered, he retreated in an orderly manner.
Turning his eyes to the prince again, he looked at the little prince for a long time, and when the prince thought he had done something wrong, he suddenly said: "A long time ago, I also raised a cat, which looked exactly like it. "
The prince raised his head in puzzlement and looked at him suspiciously.
The kitten in his arms also tilted his head in doubt, "Meow?" It seemed to express his incomprehension.
The emperor chuckled and patted his head lightly, "Jiajia, I will take you out of the palace tomorrow, okay?"
"Royal father?" The prince's eyes widened in surprise, and he looked at him shiningly. He tried hard to maintain his majesty with a straight face, but finally couldn't help it, and burst into a big smile.
The crown prince put down the cat, jumped on the emperor, and asked happily: "Father, are we going to fight for justice?"
The emperor just smiled and said nothing.
Many years ago, he also had a private visit with a person. At that time, he swore in his heart that he would never let that person go again. Unfortunately, he lost him in the end.
The capital of the Southern Chu Kingdom, as the capital of a country, looks extraordinarily prosperous.
Since the emperor came back from his tour, his personality has changed a lot, and he no longer killed innocent people indiscriminately. Instead, he changed his normal behavior and began to treat the people kindly.However, the emperor began to fall in love with the feeling of being alone in a daze. He was diligent and did not rest after finishing the memorial. He was alone in the study, staring into the distance and not letting anyone disturb him.If someone accidentally broke in, he would not just kill people casually as in the past. He would be dragged out and punished ten times with a cane, as a warning to others, and it would be over.
He tried to be a good emperor as that person taught him.
Prince Zhao Jiahua stood next to Zhao Zichu, a child of seven or eight years old, only reaching the height of his thigh.The child carefully clenched the corner of his clothes, looking around with bright eyes.
Seeing this, Zhao Zichu leaned over slightly and reached out to hold his hand.
The child's eyes became brighter.
Zhao Zichu held his hand and walked slowly, patiently introducing him from time to time things that are extremely novel to children.
Followed by two disguised eunuchs, bodyguards and secret guards did not follow behind, but mixed with pedestrians and vendors, secretly protecting the safety of the master.
Children are playful by nature, Zhao Jiahua looked around curiously while listening, looking at the small vendors on the street, his eyes moved to the candied haws stand a few meters away, his eyes lit up.
"Father..." He raised his face, originally wanted to call Father Emperor, but suddenly remembered Zhao Zichu's advice to him before leaving the palace, pointed to the stall and quickly changed his words: "Father, what is that? The color looks really nice, bright .”
"That's candied haws." Zhao Zichu explained with a slight smile.
Seeing this, the palace people behind him wisely went to the stall and bought a bunch of them.When Zhao Jiahua received the item, he was in high spirits.
"Father, you know a lot." His eyes were full of admiration.He seldom had the opportunity to see his father, and it was the first time that Zhao Zichu was so interested, and he even said that he would take him out of the palace to play.
"Because in the past, whenever I was unhappy, the prime minister would buy candied haws to coax me. In fact, he didn't know. I don't like sweet things at all. I just like his tone when he coaxes me, so gentle." Mentioned During the "Prime Minister", Zhao Zichu's expression suddenly became very gentle. He seemed to be caught in the good memories of the year, and his eyes were full of longing for a person.
Although the prince was young, he was brought into the palace as an heir since he was a child, and he was used to seeing all kinds of things in the palace, and he was extremely sensitive to certain things.He knew that the "Prime Minister" in his father's words must be a very important person to him.But why, he has never heard of this person, and it is said that since the emperor came to the throne, the post of prime minister has been vacant. not worthy.
Therefore, a message can be combined: the prime minister likes Tsing Yi, and the emperor misses him.No one is allowed to touch his taboo.
Who is the "Prime Minister" in the mouth of the father?
Zhao Zichu took the prince to many places, such as the school, the imperial examination room, the tea house, the racetrack and the slums.The young prince looked at the residence here, it was very dilapidated, not even comparable to the place where the lowest palace people lived.
But the people here did not exude a decadent atmosphere. On the contrary, many children had bright smiles on their faces. Even some of them would be discouraged and discouraged, but it was the same as what he had received from the officials' children before. The information about civilians is not the same.
He was exposed to a new world.
Zhao Zichu looked at him in shock, couldn't bear it, pondered, and felt a little satisfied.This child really has the demeanor of a benevolent emperor. As long as he is taught patiently, he will be a good emperor in the future.
"Let's go."
After getting into the carriage, Zhao Zichu kept looking outside, when the carriage passed by a place, he shouted "stop" to the outside.His eyes fixed on a place, which was a mansion that had been unoccupied for a long time, but it didn't look dilapidated.
The door is closed tightly, and for many years, he has not been able to wait for his master.
After staring at that place for a long time, he said calmly: "Let's go." The plain tone seemed to come from a distant place, illusory.
Before leaving, Zhao Jiahua looked curiously at the place where the man was looking just now, only to see that there were two flamboyant characters written on the door plaque of the mansion, "Xi Mansion".
In the imperial court, is there an official with the surname "Xi"?The prince was puzzled in his heart.
Xiaobai was very unhappy today, his owner actually left him and went out to play by himself!What an irresponsible host!It must have ignored him after he came back, hum ╭(╯^╰)╮.Don't take it with you if you have fun, QAQ are all bad guys.
Because the prince was not around, everyone in the palace was busy with other things, and didn't pay much attention to the situation in the East Palace. They just prepared Xiaobai's food when it was time to eat, so as not to starve His Highness's beloved pet.
On this day, Xiaobai ate the small dried fish prepared by the palace servants, licked his paws, and then slipped outside to play.
At this time, the prince just came back from outside the palace, and when he returned to the East Palace, he found that the kitten he raised was playful and went out. It was funny for a while, but he still didn't let other people go out to look for it, and read a book by himself.
Xiaobai knows the way, and will definitely come back after playing enough.His Royal Highness thought to himself.
The snow-white kitten chased the flying butterflies, ran and jumped in the garden, and trampled many precious flowers during the process, which made several palace officials in charge of the garden terrified.
"Oh, my little ancestor! I beg you to go to a place farther away to play... Oh, be careful! That is a rare and precious species that has just been tributed! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)"
Seeing the little white cat's "spicy claws destroying flowers" again and again, they wanted to stop it, but they were afraid of hurting it, so they couldn't do anything, and they were in a hurry.
However, after reporting it to the emperor, he said "let it go", and he could only watch it mess up the entire flower garden.
Xiaobai fluttered happily, unknowingly drifting away from the original place.
Suddenly, the nose moved slightly and smelled a familiar smell, but the butterfly had disappeared. Out of curiosity, it stepped on soft cat steps and walked towards the direction of the smell.
I saw the person I met before sitting quietly on the gazebo, walking alone, looking extraordinarily lonely.
After Zhao Zichu came back, his mood became a little heavy. At this time, he was sitting alone on the gazebo, with no one around him to serve him, obviously he was sent away by him.Inside and outside the gazebo, everything was very quiet.
Xiaobai looked at him, but didn't go over, just tilted his head and let out a cry. A cat is a very smart animal. At this moment, it sensed that person's aura of repelling people thousands of miles away, so naturally it wouldn't foolishly follow him. Go up and scold.
Zhao Zichu was brought back to his senses by its voice, raised his eyes to see it, and said, "So it's you."
This tone is like treating a friend who has not seen for a long time.
Xiaobai's blue eyes stared straight at Zhao Zichu, as if he was a little puzzled, then he flicked his tail and walked away staggeringly.
Zhao Zichu's face was expressionless, and his eyes were slightly red, which was very inconsistent with the expression on his face at this time, and it was impossible to guess his real thoughts.
After a long time, a very low voice came, "Xia Xia, when are you coming back?" The deep voice was like a sigh.
Since returning from that tour many years ago, his world has changed drastically.Xi Xiasheng disappeared in front of him, and then disappeared from everyone's memory as if this person had never appeared before.No one remembers him except himself.
As if someone tampered with their memory, slowly, the existence of this person was erased bit by bit.All the contributions that the prime minister had made to the Southern Chu Kingdom before became the work of him alone, and the post of prime minister became an official position that no one had ever held before.
Xia Xia was forgotten by this world, and he could never find him again.However, none of them knew that there was once such a person, the prime minister who had made great contributions to them.
They just remembered that it was a policy issued by the emperor.
That's right, everyone lost their memories of that time.
Any memory about Xi Xia.
Zhao Zichu thought in a daze.
After Xi Xia disappeared in full view that day, his memory began to be gradually forgotten by everyone.
First, the impression was blurred, and then the memory gradually faded, as if he had never been in this world.
Especially when his memory also started to become blurred, and he finally panicked.
One day, he inadvertently promulgated a policy that was beneficial to the people, and his memory stopped fading, and he suddenly remembered something.
Why did Xi Xia appear, and why did he insist on teaching him to be a good emperor.
A long time ago, Zhao Zichu knew that Xi Xia was not an ordinary person.He is very powerful, he seems to know everything, and nothing can trouble him, all the things that trouble others, after Xi Xia's hands, all problems will be solved easily.Before, he was persecuted by the queen mother, injured his body, and became dizzy from illness. In his confusion, he felt that someone fed him something, and soon he recovered from his illness.
Although he didn't see his appearance clearly at the time, he recognized the familiar smell on that person.
It's you, Xia Xia.
And the first emperor, because he was worried that he would not treat the queen well after a hundred years, so he wanted to abolish his crown prince.
The prime minister seemed to have known everything a long time ago. In the early days, he led a group of his own disciples, knelt down and begged the emperor to take back his order, and said bluntly: The prince has no faults, and he should not abolish his position as the heir apparent just because of his own selfishness.
Because of heavy pressure, his good father could not abolish himself.But the prime minister also received difficulties from his father.
In the end, it was an extremely coincidental thing to make myself really sure.
At that time, I would often go out of the palace to look for him.
It happened to be Xi Xia's birthday that day, in order to surprise him, Zhao Zichu didn't tell anyone, and quietly came to the Prime Minister's Mansion by himself, and didn't allow anyone to inform him.
As soon as he came outside the room, he heard Xi Xia's voice vaguely, as if he was talking to himself, or talking to someone, and then he heard a strange voice saying: "Now the progress of the mission has passed. Most of the time, we will be able to leave this world soon! Under Xia Xia's teaching, Zhao Zichu will definitely become a good emperor."
Zhao Zichu's mind was in a mess, he didn't think much about the weird content of their conversation, but he only had one thought in his heart: Xia Xia is going to leave me! ——I will leave after teaching me to be a good emperor.
There seemed to be a little beast in his heart clamoring not to, but he wouldn't allow it.But the expression on his face was calm.
After he came back from the Prime Minister's Mansion, he stayed alone in the room for a long time, and finally, he made a decision in his heart.
However, no matter what, even if he stayed with Xi Xia for ten more years, Xia Xia still left.
Zhao Zichu felt that all this has become meaningless, since the person who made him want to do this is gone, what's the use of his persistence.While Xi Xia's existence was gradually being erased, he began to clean up the mess he left behind.He thought, the reason why Xi Xia stayed was to make him better, and Xi Xia left because of his badness, so when he becomes a good emperor, will Xia Xia come back?With such a good wish, he did everything an emperor should do.
But at the same time, he found that no matter who it was, he had no memory of this prime minister who was once respected by many people. At first, he still remembered, but in the end, even his memory of Xi Xia gradually faded.
He began to panic about this, he was the only one in this world who remembered Xia Xia, if he also forgot, everything about Xia Xia would really disappear.If one day Xi Xia comes back, will she be angry?
He doesn't want to forget him.
He began to draw Xi Xia's appearance and left it on the scroll, so as not to let himself forget his appearance.After handling the memorial, he stayed alone in the study and recalled the time he spent with Xi Xia.
He and the prince went on tour outside the palace, just like himself and Xi Xia, inspecting the people's sentiments.He is very satisfied with the prince's performance. After a hundred years, the country will be handed over to him, and he will feel at ease. He doesn't want Xi Xia to see a corrupt country when he comes back.
But when he saw that the prime minister's mansion was still as lifeless as before, he suddenly realized one thing, Xi Xia would never come back again.
Thinking about this question, I stayed in the gazebo for a long time without knowing it.
Until, he saw a cat.
White hair and blue eyes, very much like the one I raised back then.
He lowered his eyes, as if he had returned to the past. At that time, he was still the young prince, and Xi Xia was still the tutor who taught him.Xia Xia can read many beautiful poems without books.
The gentle and pleasant voice sounded in his ears as if passing through time and space, and he was reciting——
"When the autumn wind rises, white clouds fly, and when the grass and trees fall yellow, the geese return to the south."
The author has something to say: This chapter is relatively long. I originally wanted to split it into two chapters, but I didn't want to whet everyone's appetite, so I sent it out all at once.
In fact, there are still many things that have not been finished. Like I said before, Xia Xia will eventually go back to that world.
But there should be no role for Zhao Zichu, right?
