Is Your Majesty jealous today?

When Chi Chi woke up the next day, he was still in a daze.

The birds were chirping in the yard, Xi Chi didn't know what bird chirped so beautifully, he lay on the bed for a while before realizing that he was at Xi's house.

Xichi did not live in Chang Yao's house for many years. He studied in Heyi Academy. When he was four or five years old, he read and read by his husband's side. When he was older, he lived and boarded with other young students.

In the early morning, the sun shone in through the thin window screens, Xi Chi raised his hand and lifted the blue curtains, a ray of light fell on his face, he was blinded by the sun, and he stepped on the cloud-top brocade shoes to come out.

After passing through the bead curtain, there was a crisp crashing sound, Xi Chi walked out of the room, looked up and saw the blue sky, the jasmine buds next to it were white and fragrant, and the leaves were so tender that water could be squeezed out.

Xichi saw a few singing red-spotted chins in the cage, and he went over to tease the birds. The parrots on the stand kept shouting "morning" and "morning" to Xichi.

Xiao Jing heard the voice and hurried over: "Master, did you wake up so early today?"

Xi Chi laughed: "I heard birds chirping outside."

Xi Xiuyuan came out from inside.

The guest room he let clean yesterday was on his side, and the two brothers lived in the same courtyard.

Seeing Xi Chi playing with birds in thin clothes from a distance, Xi Xiuyuan walked over: "A Chi, these birds disturb your sleep? I'll ask someone to take them to another place."

Xi Chi turned around and said, "No need, they are very interesting, are these raised by elder brother?"

Xi Xiuyuan said: "The yard is too quiet, it will be more lively if you hang a few birds."

Xi Chi looked at the glistening feathers of the birds: "They are well-raised. Big brother, I can't stay in Beijing for a long time. I have to go back to Linan after a while. Father, I will trouble you to take care of them."

The news of his coming to Beijing is known to many people.Xichi's identity is very clean, but his other identity will cause an uproar in the court, and may even implicate the Xi family.

"Is there something wrong with the Yao family?" Xi Xiuyuan said, "I heard that you suffered a lot of grievances at the Yao family."

"The Yao family treated me very well, and my grandfather and grandmother treated me very well. Some servants like to exaggerate the affairs of the mansion and spread some lies." Xi Chi patiently explained, "Father and the king are kind to me, and the Yao family treats me very well. I have a nurturing grace, and my grandparents need to be taken care of when they are old, so I want to go back until my grandparents die. In the future, if the father needs me, just write to me."

Xi Xiuyuan smiled slightly: "You don't want the position of the prince's son anymore? You are the first son."

Xi Chi looked at him: "Should I want it? I have never fulfilled my duties as a son of King Cheng, never fulfilled my filial piety in front of my parents."

Xi Chi's mother and King Cheng have reconciled long ago, and Xi Chi has only come to Xi's house this time since he lived.He had a hard time seeing himself as part of the family.

Xi Xiuyuan raised his hand and tapped Xi Chi's forehead: "Nonsense. My father has missed you very much these years. Eldest brother has achieved great fame, so I won't compete with you for this seat. No matter how good the Yao family is, it's someone else's family, and the Xi family is my own."

Xi Chi took two steps back and rubbed his blushing forehead.

Xi Xiuyuan said: "Father is not easy for him. In the past two years, he survived after narrowly dying at the hands of the Queen Mother. Ah Chi, don't be angry with him from now on."

Xi Chi said: "Brother, if you accept everything, I feel guilty."

Xi Xiuyuan interrupted him: "I was not born to my father. They picked me up on the way back to Beijing after winning the battle. All the soldiers under my father's command knew about it. Xichi, do you understand? This position is not mine, you are my father's." The only son of the king, blood is thicker than water."

Xi Chi didn't know that Xi Xiuyuan was so frank, and such secret incidents should be Xi Xiuyuan's taboo.

Xi Chi said: "Brother——"

"Okay," Xi Xiuyuan rolled his eyes, "Xi's family will always be your home, you can tell your father heart-to-heart later, and don't say anything stupid about going back to Yao's family."

The parrot with green feathers and red beak flapped its wings, and called "Morning" twice, seeing that no one paid attention to it, it patted Xi Chi's shoulder with its wings.

Xi Xiuyuan chased the bird aside: "Qing Niang, don't make trouble."

"Its name is Qingniang?"

Xi Xiuyuan nodded: "It's a female bird, named after the servants. A Chi has been in Linan for so long, is there any engagement?"

"Never."

Xi Xiuyuan said: "There are so many beauties in the capital, my brother will show you someday."

Xi Chi didn't have any ideas in this regard: "No need, my father should not allow us to spend time and drink outside."

"What's wrong with him? His old friends are the best." Xi Xiuyuan said, "Ah Chi hasn't even touched a girl's hand?" Xi Chi was a little embarrassed: "Man and woman can't kiss each other."

Xi Xiuyuan laughed: "Breakfast is ready, go and change your clothes, and have breakfast with father later."

Xi Xiuyuan turned around and saw a servant hurrying over.

The servant whispered a few words in Xi Xiuyuan's ear: "My lord, Eunuch Zheng asked you to go to the palace and said that I have something to arrange for you."

Xi Xiuyuan said: "Do you know what it is?"

Today's emperor has a strong desire to control, Xi Xiuyuan has a handle in the hands of Zheng Ru, the chief eunuch, and is currently under Zheng Ru's control. Zheng Ru is the emperor's lackey, Xi Xiuyuan listened to Zheng Ru's orders, and he also did a lot of things for the emperor.

After doing work for this master, Xi Xiuyuan realized how many eyeliners he had around the minister.

This humble servant is one of the eyeliners placed next to King Cheng.

The boy said: "It should be for you to find someone, but I don't know the details. The one who left just now is the second master? He looks so good."

Xi Xiuyuan glanced in Xichi's direction: "Really? He went out for a walk, and I don't know how many people came to propose marriage."

Xi Chi was very good in Prince Cheng's Mansion. The only accident happened a month later. Xi Chi accidentally fell from his horse and injured his leg a little.

The weather and environment in the capital are not suitable for recuperating. King Cheng has a large garden in the suburbs, and Xi Xiuyuan personally escorts Xichi there.

Xi Chi was raised in the garden for more than a month. By mid-July, most of his injuries had healed, and he could walk on the ground.

The bustling atmosphere in the capital was not suitable for Xichi. Xichi heard that one of his senior brothers had been relegated to a small county in other provinces as a county magistrate.

Xi Chi's senior brother is called Gu Liang, who took the imperial examination in the same year as Xi Xiuyuan, Xi Xiuyuan won Tanhua, and Gu Liang won the second place.

Originally, Gu Liang had a bright future in the Hanlin Academy, but because his teacher was caught in prison, Gu Liang begged for a few words of love for his teacher, but was demoted by the emperor to a seventh-rank magistrate.

Seeing Xi Chi limping over, Gu Liang smiled wryly: "Junior brother Yao, why are you in such a mess?"

Chi Chi shook his fan and said, "I accidentally fell off the horse."

Gu Liang quickly supported Xi Chi to sit down: "You and I haven't seen each other for two years, and we should get drunk after meeting. But recently, you are busy with business, so you should stay at my house for a month to recuperate your wound. The beautiful scenery here is suitable for recuperating. I'll deal with the matter and tell you about the teacher."

Xi Chi said: "Mr. Yin and I happened to miss it, and we didn't get to see him. Brother Cai and the others said that Mr. Yin's condition is not very good, and the Ministry of Punishment tortured him?"

Gu Liang shook his head: "There is no torture. You also know that Sheng Yue is Mr. Yin's most proud disciple. Sheng Yue's death is more uncomfortable than cutting out his heart. Fortunately, you didn't see Mr. Yin, otherwise he would definitely be angry. On your head, saying that Sheng Yue was cursed to death by you."

Xi Chi smiled and didn't continue talking.

Gu Liang took a sip of tea sullenly: "The current emperor is not an easy person to deal with. Companion to the king is like a tiger. I am so bold that I dare not even take a breath in front of him. You know the grievances between the Sheng family and the emperor. If you didn't prophesy two years ago, Sheng Yue would also be killed by the emperor, and the Sheng family's own crimes have nothing to do with you, the one who predicted it."

Xi Chi said: "Now he is angry with you, is it because he demoted you here, or is it because of his ministers?"

"What the emperor meant, the emperor demoted me face to face in a fit of anger," Gu Liang recalled the scene at that time with lingering fears, "one is the father of the king, and the other is the master, how can I have both, I am afraid that I will not be able to return to Beijing in this life."

Chichi smiled and shook his head: "No. Have you ever thought that if he killed Mr. Yin, he would be accused by the world, but killing you is easy. He didn't kill you, he demoted you here because he cherished your talent and put you After you have honed your skills and reuse them, you will be able to go back sooner or later after you have made political achievements, the current Holy Majesty is not stupid."

Gu Liang pondered for a while: "It's still comfortable to listen to your speech, and the people who follow say that I have no future if I offend the emperor."

While the two were talking, a small official suddenly came over to talk to Gu Liang.

Xi Chi and his brothers were like a family, so he didn't need to care about etiquette, as there were important matters in Gu Liang's yamen, so he put on his hat and left.

The next day, Gu Liang asked people to send Xichi to a small garden in the mountains. The environment here is elegant and cool, and it is very comfortable to live in the mountains in midsummer.

Gu Liang's family is rich, and his father is a well-known wealthy businessman in the south. The first thing he did after being sent to this poor place was to buy a comfortable house.

This place in the mountain was originally used by Gu Liang to avoid the summer heat, but he was so busy that he didn't even go there once, it was cheaper than Xichi.

Xichi went for a walk in the evening, and he found the mountains very interesting. During the day, Xichi saw a clear mountain spring and picked some wild herbs.

Suddenly something flew over, Xi Chi dodged to the side, and the thing thumped and landed on the ground.It turned out to be a big injured bird, about two feet long, with a piercing cry.

Xi Chi grabbed its wings, took it to a bright place to check, and found that its legs were injured. The bird's legs should have been severely injured by some sharp object, and it is still bleeding.

A jade ring is worn on the other intact right leg.Seeing that it struggled for a while and then stopped moving, Xi Chi was not too wary of people, and then looked at this exquisite jade ring specially worn, thinking that it was probably raised by humans.

It happened that there were medicinal herbs in the residence, so Xichi asked Xiaojing to smash the medicinal herbs and bring them, and he, a big bird, applied them.

Xiaojing was taken aback: "What a big bird, is this an eagle?"

Xi Chi looked at it seriously: "It should be a Harpy Eagle. I don't know who raised it. Let it go back when it recovers."

The kite eagle has a ferocious temperament, but this one is extremely docile. After Xi Chi applied the medicine to it, it gently rubbed its head against Xi Chi's shoulder, and its screaming sound became much softer.

Seeing that it was a female bird, Xi Chi lightly stroked the eagle's feathers, and suddenly remembered Xi Xiuyuan's parrot named Qing Niang: "You have such a charming personality, I'll call you Jiaojiao."

Xi Chi is born to please small animals, and all rabbits, deer, cats and dogs like to be close to Xi Chi.Jiaojiao also likes Xichi, and keeps pecking at Xichi's hair with her sharp beak.

......

The eunuch Zheng Ru was a little anxious. The white harrier, which was named "General Xuanwei" by the emperor, was a tribute from the vassal state. This thing was very rare.

The "General Xuanwei" was released by the emperor three days ago, usually the generals would come back within four hours, but for some reason they didn't fly back this time.

Seeing the emperor's displeasure, Zheng Ru cautiously stepped forward to serve the tea: "Your Majesty, the servant has already sent someone to look for it. We must find the general as soon as possible."

Zhong Ye took the tea and said coldly, "Is there any urgent report from Beijing right now?"

"Not for now."

Zhong Ye said: "Changing clothes for me, I will go out for a walk by myself."
