Is Your Majesty jealous today?

Xi Chi was in a trance for a moment.

Because he actually felt that the emperor at the top looked a lot like his sworn brother Li Xuandu.

But his brother-in-law is just an ordinary scholar, and his family lives in the poor and remote Qing County, so how could he have anything to do with the current emperor?

Xi Chi felt that he might miss his brother-in-law too much, so he mistook others for him.

Taking a closer look, the current emperor's clothes are more graceful and luxurious, and his aura is even a bit dark, which is completely different from his gentle and kind brother who is as bright as the moon.

What's more, most of the emperor's face was covered by the crown, so Xichi couldn't see it very clearly.

Seeing that Xi Chi was so bold, Xi Xiuyuan dared to look directly at the emperor in public for the first time. His heart almost jumped into his throat, and he secretly lifted his foot from under the table to touch Xi Chi's leg.

——Do you want to die? !

—Who can look directly at the emperor with such eyes?This is disrespectful!Our father dare not do this!

Although Xi Xiuyuan didn't say what he said, Xi Chi understood what his brother meant.Fighting in the army for more than a year, the two brothers also have some tacit understanding.

Xi Chi hurriedly lowered his head and stopped looking. The emperor is also a young man and there is nothing to look at.

The righteous brother's appearance is unparalleled in the world, the emperor may be more powerful, but Xi Chi really doesn't think this emperor is as good-looking as his righteous brother.

Zhong Ye pinched the golden cup with his slender fingers, and his voice was as arrogant and indifferent as ever: "Xi Aiqing, is this the second son of your mansion?"

King Cheng hurriedly led Chichi out and knelt down in public: "Yes, this is Chichi the dog."

Zhong Ye has speculated a lot about Xi Chi's identity in the past two years, and he has also investigated a lot.

When he first met Xi Chi, he casually fabricated the identity "Li Xuandu", but he never expected that the identity "Yao Xi" was also fake.

After all, Yao Xi is famous all over the world. It is unlikely that such an identity is a fake one. Who would like to make a fake name more famous than himself?

Originally thought that Xi Chi would marry a wife and have children, live away from the imperial court and live in seclusion in a certain rural corner, but he did not expect that Xi Chi had been in Yingzhou for the past two years to solve his own problems and eliminate disasters with Xi Xiuyuan.

Zhong Ye said: "The second son is gentle, elegant, and a gentleman. This time, he came up with a lot of ideas and made a lot of contributions to quell the chaos in Yingzhou. Xi Aiqing, these two sons you raised are really a blessing for the family. Fortunately."

King Cheng was terrified.

He is more embarrassing than anyone else, and when he sees someone, he wants to show off and say: This handsome man with big eyes is my eldest son, the majestic General Yunhui!The one who looks better than a god is my youngest son, he is prettier than your son, right?

Cheng Wang was so happy that his eyebrows were about to fall off his face, and his facial features flew wildly: "The emperor praised him, and the old ministers didn't teach them much. They are born good children."

The other princes and nobles who were next to King Cheng were not very happy. Seeing that King Cheng took advantage of the emperor and acted so well, they wanted to kick him a few times to relieve their anger.

Zhong Ye had a half-smile but not a smile: "Xiu Yuan has already received the award, and I rewarded him heavily when he returned from victory, and even married Princess Changle to him. Second Young Master, what reward do you want?"

King Cheng was still thinking about Chi Chi's marriage, so he continued, "A Chi is not engaged either, why don't you give A Chi a good marriage some other day."

Zhong Ye said: "Second Young Master Zhong Lingyuxiu, I want to choose someone with a noble status for him."

King Cheng was even happier: "Thank you Lord Long En!"

"Achi, thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xi Chi couldn't refute the emperor's face face to face, and the people have not yet settled down, there is still room for change in this matter, and it will be resolved in the future.

He also followed "Thank you Lord Ron".

After returning to his seat, Xi Chi felt uncomfortable all over.

He finally remembered where he felt uncomfortable.

One of them was to kneel down when he saw the emperor, and the bones of his knees were all worn out.

Chi Chi is not that fond of kneeling.Although he knows that the relationship between father and son needs to be stable, he is not the kind of person who will kneel and kowtow when he sees a high-status person.

The ideas of the people in the capital are completely different from those of Xichi, who will definitely be laughed at if he speaks out his ideas.

Even if you say it to your father and brother, you will be laughed at by them.

King Cheng and Xi Xiuyuan grew up in this kind of environment since they were young, and their thoughts have always been that no matter how important they are, they cannot be more important than the emperor's kindness. When they meet the emperor, they must surrender.

So Xi Chi could only think about it in his heart.

After that, all the ministers exchanged glasses to watch the actors perform.

The other ministers wanted to isolate King Cheng, and King Cheng really hated it!It's so embarrassing!He opened his mouth "my child" and closed his mouth "my child", as if his family didn't have two children.

But who made King Cheng a favored minister? Xi Xiuyuan took an important position in the court. He is really powerful in the capital. There are many places to rely on the Xi family in the future. Praise "Your son is really good!"

Zheng Ru smiled and said to Zhong Ye: "Lord Chen and Lord Jian are really interesting. They talked to King Cheng with a smile on the surface, but when they turned around, they both rolled their eyes at King Cheng."

Zheng Ru and Zhong Ye were at the highest place, sitting high and seeing far, all officials could see clearly.

Zheng Ru said these things because Zhong Ye was alone, the emperor was alone, he had to have some fun and tell Zhong Ye.

In fact, Zhong Ye is different from other emperors, he doesn't like any fun.

Moreover, what Zhong Ye found interesting was not the two old fellows Chen Guang and Jian Qingshuang, but the old fox Cheng Wang.

Xi's family cooked oil and flowers with brocade, and the two sons of Cheng Wang Baodao woke up. It was the time when they were in full bloom. It is not difficult for the Shangsheng family to gain power in normal times.

King Cheng had no intention of colluding with anyone. Instead, he deliberately made the powerful people dislike him, so that these powerful officials did not want to associate with him.

He knows how to protect himself wisely and knows which side to stand on can go the longest.

Looking at Xi Xiuyuan again, Xi Xiuyuan is neither arrogant nor impetuous, and he is not arrogant or complacent at all when he enters the palace to report on his duties. Whether he is pretending or not at his age, it shows that he is a talented person who can hold his breath.

Zhong Ye is not jealous of the wise, as the emperor, he will appoint all talented people.

but--

Zhong Ye squeezed the cup tightly, is Xi Xiuyuan too close to Xi Chi?

Will the brothers come together and talk?Is it okay for the two of them to tear off the chicken drumsticks on a plate?

Zhong Ye narrowed his eyes coldly.

Xi Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "Our father is making people angry again. I guess the household department made things difficult for us at that time and deliberately delayed the payment of rations to disturb the morale of the army. It is because Chen Guang can't understand our father."

Xi Chi couldn't help laughing: "Father pays the son's debt, and when they count it on the eldest brother in the future, the eldest brother must stand up."

"I can't stand it. These old foxes hurt people the most when they bite people in the back. The emperor is afraid of them." Xi Xiuyuan said, "However, after dealing with them for a long time, you can gain some insight. These people are far inferior Those people from the Sheng family back then, when the emperor dealt with those people, it was thrilling, I had my father in my back, at that time there was nothing behind the emperor, one wrong step would lead to the bottom of the abyss."

You can grow faster only if you have strong opponents who make things difficult for you. Is Xi Xiuyuan a person who is afraid of setbacks?

He is not afraid of death, but also afraid of these things.Besides, the people who made things difficult for him were far from the people who made things difficult for the emperor back then, what happened to him was not a big deal.

The two were talking, Zheng Ru, the eunuch in front of the emperor, brought a plate of roast chicken: "Mr. Xi, the emperor saw that you like this, so he asked the servant to bring this."

Xi Chi looked at Zheng Ru seriously.

Xi Chi has a good memory, he always feels that he has seen Zheng Ru somewhere.But the two just met once, and Zheng Ru pretended to be a stall owner selling a fan, so Xi Chi couldn't remember the specific scene for a while.

The sea of ​​people is vast, and most people will not remember what the stall owner who sold them something yesterday looked like, let alone the stall owner who met two years ago.Zheng Ru was dressed in rags at the beginning, but now she is dressed in brocade clothes, and her face is almost the same.

Xi Xiuyuan used to work under Zheng Ru, and he has always been very polite to Zheng Ru: "Thank you, Eunuch Zheng."

Zheng Ru usually doesn't look good to others, and he is rarely amiable when he meets a powerful official like King Cheng, but today he smiled gently at Xi Chi: "Young Master Xi, eat slowly, you each have a plate."

It took about a quarter of an hour for Xi Chi to react: "I seem to have seen this father-in-law once before. He sells fan pendants in a small town."

Xi Xiuyuan didn't believe it: "You must have remembered wrongly. There are many people who look alike. Eunuch Zheng has been serving the emperor in the palace all the time. He is a powerful person, so it is impossible for him to set up a stall."

Xi Chi was about to tear the chicken legs, Xi Xiuyuan took the new roast chicken away: "This is a gift from the emperor to eldest brother."

Xi Chi said: "Brother, just wait, I will go home and sue my father, and I will sue my sister-in-law when my sister-in-law comes in."

The princess of Changle was rewarded by the emperor to Xi Xiuyuan. Xi Xiuyuan got it by virtue of military merits, not by King Cheng.Xi Xiuyuan is naturally satisfied with this marriage.

Xi Chi remembered that when the two met for the first time, Xi Xiuyuan still gave him all the good things in a decent manner, and let him live in his yard.

really!Time to see people's hearts!After a long time, the eldest brother has become as virtuous as his senior brother and the others!

Xi Xiuyuan deboned the chicken leg, put it on a clean small plate, raised his hand and pushed it to Xi Chi: "Here you are."

Zheng Ru silently took two steps back from Zhong Ye.

After the dinner, it was time for Xi Chi to go back. He walked with King Cheng and Xi Xiuyuan. King Cheng drank a lot of wine, and Xi Xiuyuan hurried forward to support his father.

A thin voice suddenly came from behind, and this voice belonged to Zheng Ru.

Zheng Ru hurried over: "Young Master Xi, please stay!"

Xi Chi turned around lightly, under the palace lantern, his face was handsome and smiling, and he looked at the visitor with a pair of long and narrow smiling eyes: "Huh?"

Xi Xiuyuan and Cheng Wang were also a little puzzled: "Eunuch Zheng, what's the matter with you?"

Zheng Ru quickly straightened the whisk in his hand, he said: "Prince Cheng, General Xi, our majesty wants to meet the Second Young Master alone today, you two should go back first."

King Cheng was a little worried: "Can you take me with you?"

He was afraid that his son was talking to the emperor alone for the first time, and he didn't know what he said wrong to anger the emperor.

Although Xi Chi is intelligent, he has never been in the officialdom, and he doesn't know how to get along with the king.

As an elder, Cheng Wang was worried that this little fool, Xi Chi, was in front of the wily and calculating emperor.

Zheng Rupi smiled and said: "His Royal Highness, you are always drunk. General Xi, take your father back to drink a bowl of hangover soup and rest. Mr. Xi, you come with our house."

Xi Chi was also at a loss when he was stopped suddenly, not knowing what the emperor left him alone.

But he wasn't particularly nervous, the soldiers came to cover up the water and the earth, no matter what the occasion, just relax and deal with it slowly.

A row of maids carrying lanterns stood on both sides of the long corridor. Xi Chi followed Zheng Ru lightly, letting Zheng Rulai lead the way, and saw a man standing in front of him from a distance.

The man was dressed in a black dragon robe and stood tall in the night wind. The crown had been removed, and the ink was scattered behind him. Although it was just a back view, it gave people a deep sense of oppression.

Zheng Ru said: "Your Majesty, Young Master Xi has already arrived."

"You go back."

This voice was much gentler, and it was different from the coldness when meeting the courtiers.

Xi Chi thought about it.

The visitor turned around slowly, the moonlight blended with the hazy yellow light of the palace lantern, Xi Chi saw clearly the handsome and profound face of the other party, and also recognized the other party's identity.

Zhong Ye's demeanor is completely different now from before.

Xi Chi remembered that when he was with Zhong Ye at that time, the other party was as warm as the spring breeze and as gentle as the moon, and he was absolutely not as cold and indifferent as he is now.

Zhong Ye smiled on the surface: "My dear brother, where is the wife you married? Why didn't you bring it for me to see?"

After hesitating for a moment, Xi Chi said boldly: "Brother Yi, why did you become like this? You are not as chic as before."

Zhong Ye gritted his teeth. Naturally, because he believed the words in Xi Chi's letter, he thought that Xi Chi had really married his wife and gone wandering somewhere.

But he could only close his eyes and put all his thoughts down: "The court is busy with affairs, and I take care of everything every day, so I can't be as idle as I used to be."

Xi Chi recalled all the past, and he suddenly realized: "You were on a private patrol in Weili Province at that time? Brother Gu didn't even tell me your identity, it's too disrespectful."

"It was I who told him to hide it from you." Zhong Ye said, "At that time, I was worried that telling you your true identity would make you feel restrained. I didn't expect that our two brothers would be separated by accident for two years."

Xi Chi was in a happy mood, he smiled and said: "It's great to meet again, I always miss my brother Yi very much."

Zhong Ye couldn't believe it: "How much do you miss?"

Xi Chi said: "I rarely dream of people, but in the past two years, I have often dreamed of traveling in mountains and rivers with you."

What Xi Chi said is true, he has many friends, but Zhong Ye is the only one who often dreams.

Zhong Ye raised his hand and rubbed Xichi's hair: "I don't believe it."

Xi Chi stepped back quickly: "The hair is all messed up."

In the past two years, Xichi has grown a lot taller. He looks more slender and taller, like a handsome young man like Zhilan Yushu.

Temperament is the same as before.

Zhong Ye said: "Knowing my true identity, are you afraid?"

Xi Chi smiled: "I used to respect Yi brother, but now I respect the emperor."

Zhong Ye's eyes are deep: What he wants is not respect.

I want to form a net to trap Xi Chi in an airtight way, and taste it slowly by myself, wanting to possess it intimately.

The author has something to say: Push a pre-collection of "After the Faint King Awakens"

Attack Angle:

As the crown prince, Mu Jiang was admired by all the stars, from childhood to adulthood, he was sought after by others, and his temperament was domineering, cruel and surly.

The emperor was dying, and Mu Jiang was not far from enthronement.

However, one day he suddenly realized that he was a subjugated king, a stepping stone for the hero who pretended to be a pig and eat a tiger, and was finally hacked to death by the rebels and hung on the city wall.

The only one who stole his body and buried it was the third son of the Ning family.

Third Young Master Ning was dedicated to Mu Jiang as his concubine last month, and Mu Jiang had a fight with him and drove him to live in a dilapidated small courtyard.

Viewing angle:

After Ning Fan was sent to the surly and cruel prince, he just wanted to find a chance to escape.

After finally finding a chance to offend the prince, he quarreled with the prince and made the prince throw himself in a dilapidated courtyard. Ning Fan planned to escape tomorrow.

As a result, the prince came to his courtyard the next day and snorted coldly: "It's not good for Gu to admit that it is Gu, you and Gu go back, and Gu will let you be the queen in the future."

"Gu advises you not to be ignorant of good and evil!" the prince yelled, "otherwise Gu will carry you back."
