Is Your Majesty jealous today?

Many things happened during the year when Xichi entered Beijing.

On the day he entered Beijing, he found out that his teacher Yin Siqi had been released by the Ministry of Punishment as early as half a month ago.

Mr. Yin is 58 years old this year and has a full head of hair. He doesn't know if he will be able to return to Heyi County alive.

Xi Chi hastily wrote a letter to his fellow disciples.

He couldn't go back for the time being, since he came to the capital, he had to go home for a while.

Last month, Xi's family wrote to him, saying that his father's illness had gotten worse.

Xichi's book boy was called Yao Xiaojing, and Xiaojing said to Xichi, "Young Master Xi, you should go back. In case Prince Cheng is really sick and you don't visit, you will be reprimanded for being unfilial in the end."

Prince Cheng's mansion is solemn and solemn, facing south from the north, with two stone lions in front of the gate staring majesticly and angrily.

Xiao Jingxia immediately knocked on the door, and a servant in green clothes opened the door for him, and asked impatiently, "Who are you looking for?"

Xiao Jing said: "My son is looking for King Cheng."

The servant looked at Xiao Jing. He saw that Xiao Jing was dressed plainly and had a southern accent, so he couldn't help being a little disdainful: "Where is the post? When will your son come? Our prince has no time to see foreigners during this time."

Xiaojing heard that the rules in Beijing are very strict, and it is difficult to see the master without giving these servants dozens of taels of silver.

Xiaojing is not a good tempered person, he said: "The son of Cheng Wang still wants to pay homage to him when he returns home? Who made this rule?"

At this time, another person came out, the person was more than seven feet tall, he was bookish, he looked gentle and elegant, he happened to be going out, he stopped when he saw it: "What happened?"

The servant at the gate hurriedly saluted: "Master, this barbarian is making trouble at the gate for no reason, saying that the son of Prince Cheng is here, and the servant is wondering if you are at home, so he will be driven out."

The man's eyes flickered slightly, and he lowered his eyes to look at Xiaojing: "Is Xi Chi back?"

Listening to the servant's words, Xiao Jing naturally guessed the man's identity.

Xiao Jing cupped his hands: "Eldest son, our son will go home and see King Cheng."

There was a sound of horse crowing, and a man in white came riding a lima. The horse happened to be circling outside Prince Cheng's mansion.

The man in white got off his horse gracefully. Seeing the crowds at the door, he felt strange for a moment: "Xiaojing, what's the matter?"

Without waiting for Xiaojing to answer, Xi Xiuyuan stepped forward and said, "Ah Chi, you are finally home, our father has always missed you."

Xi Chi glanced at the man's clothes and appearance, and listened to his words, guessing the identity of the other party in his heart, Xi Chi cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Brother."

Xi Xiuyuan took a serious look at this younger brother.

Xi Chi looked seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in snowy white clothes, thin and slender, with a pair of intelligent and passionate fox eyes, thin lips always smiling, skin color as ice as snow, black hair as satin, So beautiful it takes your breath away.

Such a flamboyant look is extremely rare.

Xi Xiuyuan said to the servant guarding the gate: "Why don't you open the gate soon? Then bring the second master's horse in."

Xi Chi and Xi Xiuyuan have the same father and half mother. Because of the grievances of the predecessors, Xi Chi has not lived in Xi's house for these years. This is the first time he has returned to the capital of Xuan Kingdom.

After entering the door, Xi Xiuyuan ordered the servant: "Let the servant girl clean the two clean guest rooms and come out. I will take the second master to meet the prince."

Xiao Jing followed behind Xi Chi calmly. Xi Chi arrived half a quarter of an hour late because there was some delay on the road. He deliberately slowed down Xi Xiuyuan for a while, and then spread his folding fan and bowed his head to Xiao Jing and said, "Go outside and inquire about Sheng. About senior brother, I just heard that he died."

A gleam of joy suddenly flashed in Xiaojing's eyes.

Xi Xiuyuan looked at Xi Chi a little slower, he turned his head and smiled: "A Chi, you are not familiar with the family, so feel free to ask me if there is anything you don't understand."

Xichi smiled slightly: "Okay, I'll listen to my elder brother. Xiaojing, I lost a purse. You can look for it along the way you came and see if you can find it."

Xiaojing quickly responded: "Yes, I'll go now."

After Xiao Jing left, Xi Xiuyuan said to Xi Chi: "This boy belongs to the Yao family?"

Xi Chi nodded.

Xi Xiuyuan said: "It's too young, it doesn't look as old as you, how can he take good care of you? I have often heard my father mention you these years. Although I haven't seen you in person, I miss you very much in my heart."

Xi Chi has never seen Xi Xiuyuan's face, not even his own father's face since he was born.

He grew up with his grandfather Yao's parents since he was a child, so he is not very familiar with things in Beijing.Everything about my father and brother was also learned from the letter.

In the past two years, King Cheng wrote a letter to Xichi for ten days and a half. The letter always said that he was in poor health, implying that Xichi would go home early.

Xi Xiuyuan is the eldest son of Xi. Some people say that he was born to King Cheng and military prostitutes. Others say that King Cheng picked him up during the war. He is three years older than Xi Chi and is 21 years old this year.

Xi Chi received a letter from Xi Xiuyuan last year, saying that he was a high school prospect.

Xi Xiuyuan is also young and promising, a rare talent.

Cheng Wang Xiyong was dealing with official business in his study.

Xi Xiuyuan asked a servant to go in and spread the word: "Tell the prince, and say that the second master has returned home."

The boy looked at Xichi, and didn't understand where the second master appeared. He went in in a daze: "My lord, Mr. Xiuyuan asked me to tell you that the second master has returned home and is waiting outside the study."

King Cheng is in his early 40s this year. He is tall, handsome, handsome and powerful. After hearing what the servant said, he said impatiently, "Where did the second master come from? I don't have time today!"

King Cheng has a bad temper, irritability, and foul language, and more than half of the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty have been scolded by him by pointing their noses.The servants at home were even more afraid of him, and the servant didn't dare to say anything, so he had to retreat tremblingly.

King Cheng reacted as soon as the boy left the house.

He stroked his beard: "Could it be that my son Xichi is back?"

He put down the pen in his hand and went out.

Xi Chi was still talking to Xi Xiuyuan, Xi Xiuyuan said with a gentle smile: "Father was used to being powerful in the army in the early years, so don't be afraid when you see him."

Xi Chi thought about how imposing a patient could be.

The door was kicked open with a bang, and both Xi Chi and Xi Xiuyuan looked up.

I saw a tall and burly man rushing out. This man was handsome and upright with fierce eyes and a murderous aura on his body.

Xi Chi subconsciously took two steps back.

King Cheng's beard trembled and his eyes lit up: "This is my son?"

Xi Chi took another two steps back.

This person was completely different from the shriveled old man he had imagined lying motionless on the hospital bed.

Xi Xiuyuan nodded: "Father, this is A Chi. A Chi, why don't you come to see your father?"

Cheng Wang laughed and said: "A Chi looks extraordinary, such a suave and handsome young man, come quickly and let Dad take a closer look."

Xi Chi never thought that his father would be such a person.

Because the other party is his biological father, the two haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and Xi Chi had to bow three times and nine times when they met for the first time.

Xi Chi was about to kneel down, when Cheng Wang stepped forward and held his hand: "The red tape is saved, when did you come? Why didn't you write to tell us before you came? Your elder brother misses you every day and talks about your name all day long." .”

Xi Xiuyuan looked a little embarrassed, he didn't know what to say, so whatever King Cheng said was fine.

Xi Chi said: "I heard that my father is not in good health—"

"This is your elder brother's idea," Cheng Wang glanced at Xi Xiuyuan, "You refuse to come back, your elder brother came up with this idea. If you don't come back again, your elder brother will write a letter next time saying that I am dead, and let you Come back to offer condolences and mourning."

Xi Xiuyuan was silent for a moment, King Cheng put the hat on for him, but he couldn't take it off and had to accept it.

Xi Chi's eyelids twitched twice.

King Cheng patted him on the shoulder twice: "Why are you so weak? The Yao family didn't treat you well?"

Xi Chi almost didn't vomit blood when he was shot, he quickly grabbed King Cheng's arm: "Father King Lao is worried, the baby is born weak, grandpa and grandmother are very good to the baby."

The Yao family is the ancestral home of Xi Chi.

Back then, the Yao family married the Xi family, and Xi Chi's mother married King Cheng.Xichi's mother is squeamish, and Cheng Wang's carelessness often makes people angry. The two have been in constant conflict for a year of marriage.

Later, Xi Chi's mother proposed to reconcile, and went south with her dowry to go home. Halfway she found that she was pregnant.

Xichi's mother returned to Yao's house and gave birth to Xichi. The newborn child could not live without mother, so Xichi stayed at Yao's house to raise him.

His mother remarried when Xi Chi was three years old.It is inconvenient for Xichi's mother to marry the child with her. She knows that King Cheng is a rough person, and the young child may be wronged by King Cheng's side. She is unwilling to leave the child with King Cheng, so she gives the child to Mrs. Yao.

It was not until Xichi was ten years old that King Cheng heard that he had a smart and beautiful son. The child was very pitiful without a father and mother in the Yao family, and was often bullied.

At that time, he wanted to take Xichi home, but Mr. Yao said that Xichi was his lifeblood, and if King Cheng took his grandson away, he would kill him.

A Zanying family like the Yao family is not easy to bully. A few years ago, the situation in the court was complicated. Even the Queen Mother who was in power in this dynasty did not dare to attack the Yao family. King Cheng could not please the Yao family.

The child didn't want to arrive, and he was stunned.

In the past two years, the emperor has gained real power. King Cheng is the emperor's confidant, and his status has risen with each passing day.The Yao family didn't know what the attitude of that person in the palace was, but their attitude towards King Cheng was much more relaxed, and King Cheng was able to communicate with Xi Chi.

In the evening, the father and son got drunk.

Xi Chi has a special physique, and his face turns red after drinking two glasses of wine.

When the wind blew up at night, Xi Xiuyuan asked someone to bring a cloak. He put it on King Cheng first, and then put another one on Xi Chi's shoulders.

King Cheng grabbed Xi Chi's hand: "My good son, you won't leave this time, will you?"

Xi Chi hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Xi Xiuyuan immediately said: "This is Ah Chi's home, how could he leave again."

Xi Chi had no choice but to pretend to be drunk.

When the people left, King Cheng directly took the jug and poured himself a drink. After drinking half of the jug, he squinted his eyes and said, "Xiu Yuan, what do you think of your brother?"

Xi Xiuyuan said: "Intelligent and courteous, like someone walking out of a painting, the Yao family has raised him well these years."

Apart from other things, he is really good-looking. When Xi Chi smiles, he is gentle and affectionate, making people look in a trance and distracted. He always wonders if Xi Chi likes him, so he smiles like this.

Xi Xiuyuan had never seen anyone with such a beautiful smile.

Cheng Wang said: "Your younger brother is better than I imagined. This child has suffered a lot of grievances in the Yao family. He is often ridiculed by people. He can't eat well and sleep well. Look, his arms are not as thick as your thighs——"

Xi Xiuyuan couldn't help but sigh: "Father, we are talking about business, don't be joking."

Cheng Wang said: "Xiuyuan, he is not familiar with the capital city, and he is not used to the environment here, so it is unlikely that he will stay. What do you think of a way to keep him?"

Xi Xiuyuan thought for a while and said: "The youngest daughter of Liu Ge's hometown is very beautiful. I heard that she has a virtuous personality and is well-educated. She is not engaged yet, and A Chi is also at the age of marriage. They are both talented and beautiful."

King Cheng clapped his hands: "Good idea! If he falls in love with a girl in the capital, he should stay in the capital for the rest of his life. I'll go to Liu's house tomorrow and ask."

After Xi Chi went back, Xiao Jing wiped his face with a cold handkerchief: "Master, Sheng Yue is indeed dead. It is said that the eunuch next to the emperor gave him a glass of poisoned wine. He died well, such a villain He should have died a long time ago. Didn't you predict that he would be killed by the emperor two years ago? Oh, you are really good at predicting things."

Xi Chi didn't think about Sheng Yue, his clear eyes stared at somewhere in the void: "What do you think of my father and brother?"

"Both of them are very good. The eldest son is a smart man." Xiao Jing thought for a while and said, "I am afraid that the eldest son thinks that you are coming back to fight for the throne, and the brothers will turn against each other because of this. You should be more or less wary of him."

Xi Chi took the handkerchief and wiped his hands.

Xiao Jing lowered his voice again and said: "I asked before I came, and others said that the eldest son was not born to King Cheng, but you are his only son, so King Cheng is looking forward to your return."

Xi Chi frowned: "Don't bring up the nonsense."

Xiaojing kept quiet and quickly backed out.

......

in the palace.

A man in a black robe stood by the window. He was slender and thin, more than eight feet tall. The dragon on the robe stretched its teeth and danced its claws, lifelike.

Several young eunuchs knelt on the ground tremblingly.

It took a long time to hear the man's deep voice: "What did he say when he died?"

A young eunuch said: "He didn't say anything. He didn't mention the Queen Mother and Grand Master Sheng. He only called one person's name. He died after calling several times."

"My name?" Zhong Ye narrowed his eyes, "I crushed Grand Master Sheng to ashes, and he hated me to the bone."

"No." The little eunuch took out a jade pendant from his sleeve, "That man's name is Yao Xi, and he should be the Yao Xi who is as famous as Sheng Yue. He failed three times."

Zhong Ye turned around, and he took the jade pendant from the eunuch. The word "Xi" was engraved in the center of the jade pendant.

Zhong Ye rubbed the word "Xi" with his fingertips, and narrowed his narrow and majestic phoenix eyes: "Yao Xi... I know him, he is Yin Siqi's student, has he come to Beijing to make trouble?"

"Young Master Xi has never seen the head and tail of the dragon." The eunuch said cautiously, "I will send someone to investigate, and once found, I will arrest him."

Zhong Ye let people go down.
