Kaolin Flower Raiders Guide

The scent of osmanthus in the courtyard was still there, just as Lu Xiao expected, Xie Shenshou heard the eunuch say that he was coming, and he was sitting in the main hall at the moment.

I haven't seen him for many days, Xie Shenshou's gloomy face remained unchanged, but his spirit has improved a lot.

Lu Xiao greeted him with a smile, and Xie Shenshou raised the corner of his mouth symbolically, and his tone was extremely indifferent: "I heard that you are busy with your second brother these days."

Lu Xiao nodded: "Xiaguan's teacher is in the Imperial Academy, and he was too busy arranging the documents and gifts, so I asked Your Majesty to help me."

Reasonable and reasonable.Xie Shenshou narrowed his eyes: "Then what are you doing here today?"

There were palace guards at all four corners, Lu Xiao looked up and scanned all over, Xie Shenshou followed his wishes and asked all the palace guards to retreat outside the hall to guard.Xie Shenshou went with him to the study, followed the same pattern and dismissed the little eunuch who was in charge of the pen and ink, leaned back on the chair calmly, and said coldly: "What do you want to say?"

Lu Xiao sat boldly on the low couch resting beside her, propped her chin with one hand, tilted her head and said, "There's nothing to say, I just came to see if His Highness got what he wanted, and I'm in a good mood. Now that I see it is indeed the case, the next official also There is nothing left to say."

Xie Shenshou's face changed suddenly, the middle fingers of his left sleeve clenched into a fist, and he slapped the table with his right hand, angrily said: "Are you mocking me!"

The little eunuch standing outside heard the sound and asked through the door: "Your Highness, do you need a servant to come in?"

Xie Shenshou closed his eyes, calmed down and said, "No, you are not allowed to come in without orders."

Everything was quiet, Lu Xiao shrugged. He had confirmed his guess, and added fuel to the fire: "What I said is true or false, if His Highness didn't know, I wouldn't be angry just now."

The paperweight that Xie Shenshou used to vent his anger was placed in the most conspicuous place on the table. If his prediction was correct, Xie Shenshou must be thinking at this moment, how to kick the hot potato over.

"You speak clearly."

Lu Xiao caught the potato, and said unhurriedly: "The overall situation has been settled, no one will force you to study and improve, the Fourth Highness only needs to survive the next few years in peace, and when you reach the crown, you will receive the title Go to the fief and spend the rest of your life happily."

Concubine Guo Shu was proud and arrogant, she knew that there was no hope for her successor, and the Ning family, who had the highest status in Emperor Yunkang's heart, was still only a noble concubine.Her only hope is the prince who was born 15 years ago. She has been nagging for many years, Ah Ling, you have to study hard and go past the second brother, so that your father can see you in the eyes of the emperor.

He even gave him the word Ling for his baby name. If Concubine Guo Shu knows that this bird in the cage has beautiful feathers, but is unwilling to fly high, she will definitely scold him for being confused.

The heirs of the royal family are very intelligent and have been in the palace for many years. Xie Shenshou understood the meaning of the word "Zangzhuo" early on.The emperor is not attractive to him at all, he just wants to be an idle prince and end his life.It's not easy to pretend to be a fool, and with Shao Fu's company, he will never teach a fool.He found another way, so he had the unruly fourth prince who was not good at studying.

Fortunately, everything is on the right track, Xie Shenxing has never been a threat to be this younger brother, and even has a good relationship with him.Although Emperor Yunkang preferred Xie Shenxing, he also paid attention to this incompetent son and never noticed any problems.Maybe Concubine Guo Shu is the only one who is dissatisfied, but for Xie Shenshou, it is also a matter of seeking benevolence.

After hiding for many years, once he was thoroughly seen by someone he had known for just over a month, Xie Shenshou had mixed feelings in his heart, more anger than fear, but once again he looked at Lu Xiao with admiration.

Xie Shenshou forced himself to remain calm and asked, "Aren't you afraid that others will hear you talking nonsense?"

Lu Xiao smiled very softly, as if she was certain of something in her heart: "It's not up to me to decide whether others can hear you, but it depends on you, Your Highness."

The palms clenched into fists in the sleeves were slowly released, spread out on the table to support his body, he finally looked more like a bewildered young man at this moment, looked at Lu Xiao unwillingly and said: "You have already seen it, why don't you What are you trying to do in front of me?"

It became.

"Your Highness really has more questions at this moment than other people's questions for half a month." Lu Xiao suddenly took out a glass bottle from nowhere, and said regretfully: "At first I wanted to bring a bunch of candied haws, but unfortunately it's only October now, so I have to wait again." Wait a month before it will be sold on the market."

"I have tasted all the sweet-scented osmanthus brews in Chang'an City, but this one is sweet but not greasy. If you didn't want to enter the palace, you wouldn't be able to taste it."

He passed the sweet-scented osmanthus wine over, Xie Shenshou did not move for a long time, Lu Xiao withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, and said to himself: "The official is rude, there are so many fine wines in the palace, and it is a takeaway thing, Your Highness doesn't like it It was also expected.”

Xie Shenshou seemed to have just woken up, and pulled the bottle away.

Lu Xiao raised four fingers and said seriously, "If it's poisonous, I'm here and I can't escape."

Xie Shenshou gently removed the cork, the rich aroma overflowed from the bottle, and the wine flowed into the mouth, the sweetness was hard to hide, no different from the daily wine provided in the palace.

He put down the sweet-scented osmanthus wine in his hand and calmed down for a moment: "...I don't understand."

Lu Xiao got up and looked at Xie Shenshou at the same level: "You still have to read the book, at least let His Majesty look at it with peace of mind, you and I will not make it difficult. Although you and I both know that His Highness is sensible enough to do it in a place where others can't see it." That's great. That's all I want to say, there's nothing else to say, since that's the case, I'll take my leave first."

Until he closed the door knocker with one hand, Xie Shenshou's hoarse voice sounded from behind: "...Next time you enter the palace, remember to bring the candied haws you just mentioned."

This time Lu Xiao didn't just ignore his words, she turned her head and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I'll remember it."

Emperor Yunkang passed by Chongyu Palace one day and asked the palace people not to inform him, so he quietly stepped into Chongyu Palace. The fourth prince, who has always been stubborn and unpredictable, was actually reading with a scroll in his hands.After asking the palace staff, they found out that the fourth prince has become much more obedient recently, and he is no longer the same as before.

The news put Emperor Yunkang in a good mood, and he rewarded Lu Xiao with two Zihao brushes and one good inkstone that day.

Both Qi Jiansi and Ning Huai asked Lu Xiao how they brought the Fourth Prince back to the right path, Lu Xiao could only complacently say, coaxing children, one of you is cold and the other is still a child, how can you compare to me.

So Lu Xiao got two supercilious eyes respectively, and said nothing resentfully.

The wind blew in the late autumn night, and in a blink of an eye, it was October 20, and in two days it would be Lu Xiao's [-]th birthday.

Lu Xuehen didn't pay attention to these things, or children's birthdays were not taken seriously at all.At first, Lu Xiao didn't even remember which day was his own birth day, but when Lu Xuehen mentioned it when he was ten years old, it made him think about his birthday.Coincidentally, Ning Huai's mother, the Duke's wife, and Lu Xiao's birthday were on the same day.

Young people care more about how to maintain friendship, and Ning Huai wishes him auspicious birthday every year.Because of the need to avoid the elders, in the past few years Ning Huai always had dinner with him one day in advance to celebrate his birthday.Every year from now on, Lu Xiao's birthday will pass by in a daze, as if the [-]rd of October is his birthday.

In a blink of an eye, he turned 20, and Lu Xiao also reached the age of crowning, but there was not even anyone who took his name.He can understand why there are characters, he likes his name very much, and he doesn't need to use other ones to set it off.

This year was no exception, Ning Huai dragged a box of congratulatory gifts into the carriage and directed the servants to unload them one by one.Lu Xiao didn't even raise her eyelids, and just let him go.

The two sat around the round table and chatted on the stone bench. Xiao Tang, who was staring at the servant, ran over suddenly, but said to Lu Xiao: "Mr. Lu, someone is looking for you at the door, I think it looks like someone from the palace. "

After listening, Lu Xiao walked forward, and Ning Huai followed behind him.Lu Xiao saw that it was a fair-skinned young eunuch in Chongyu Palace, and he said politely: "Hi Gong An is good, but Your Highness is in a hurry to find the next eunuch?"

The little eunuch spoke in a soft voice, and enviously took out a brocade box from his bosom and handed it to Lu Xiao: "His Royal Highness heard that Lord Lu celebrated his birthday today, so he specially sent a servant to give a congratulatory gift."

Lu Xiao was a little surprised, and the little eunuch continued: "Your Highness said, the things are not valuable, just express your feelings and let Mr. Lu keep them. As for why you know Mr. Lu's birthday, His Highness said that you can know with a little attention. Mr. Lu doesn't have to Caring."

After saying goodbye to him, Lu Xiao was holding the brocade box in her hand, and she had the illusion that it would be wrong to take it, and it would be wrong if she didn't take it.

When he returned to the courtyard, he opened the brocade box and saw that inside was a piece of suet jade wrapped in flannelette.

Ning Huai was used to seeing these things, so he straightened his eyes at that time, and said in frustration: "This piece of jade is worth a box of mine, how can it compare to the people of the royal family!"

Lu Xiao's heart trembled, thinking about returning this thing as soon as possible one day, and quickly comforted him: "Why are you jealous? You just give a piece of grass, and the leaves are more beautiful than other people's flowers."

When he said this, Ning Huai squinted his eyes with a smile, and his mood improved again: "No one else knows that your real birthday is actually tomorrow, even the prince thinks today is your birthday."

Ning Huai was a little complacent when he said this, paying attention a little bit, no matter how careful he could be, it was nothing more than guessing a wrong day from his whereabouts.He was a little unhappy, because he had a well-behaved cousin in his family, who had also been Xie Shenshou's companion, and cried a lot when he was driven home.Ning Huai has a good relationship with that cousin, and he himself is a companion for others, so he can understand it better by comparing his heart with his heart, so he even hates Xie Shenshou.

Now that this person actually wants to get close to his friend, Ning Huai is very unhappy.

Lu Xiao saw the joy in his smile at a glance, and immediately remembered the scene when she first met Ning Huai.

How a young man with no roots can become friends with the youngest son of the Duke's family is naturally an extremely old-fashioned drama of saving the youth.Yuxue, who was born in Ning Huai's childhood, was cute, and there were always some short-sighted people trying to get her hands on her. Lu Xiao boasted that she couldn't see the suffering of good-looking people, and only after rushing to rescue them did she see seven or eight attendants surrounded behind her.

He was still regretting that he was blind and never realized that this must be a noble young master, but the next second he saw this beautiful boy winking secretly at him.

Lu Xiao, who was only fifteen years old, felt his heart skip a beat. Ning Huai dragged him to the mansion with the excuse of repaying his favor. The three big characters "Guo Gong Mansion" fell in front of Lu Xiao's eyes, and only then did he know Ning Huai's identity.It is the nature of young people to be bold, so Lu Xiao was not at all afraid, but insisted on getting the truth out of Ning Huai's mouth.

It turned out that he caught a glimpse of Lu Xiao who was eager to fight in the crowd at a glance, and he was sure that Lu Xiao was not an official boy who was close to him, so he signaled all the attendants to take a few steps back, pretending to be helpless and pitiful.When Lu Xiao broke through the crowd and came out, talking in a manner that would kill him, Ning Huai knew that this person was different from the peers he knew.

He is good at subduing children, not because he is boastful, but Ruo Ning Huai looks innocent and cute, and is well protected by his parents and brothers, but he is a cut black Lantern Festival.

Lu Xiao smiled and pinched Ning Huai's round cheeks, and silently changed the topic.

Although this day was a birthday celebration, neither of them drank alcohol.Ning Huai couldn't drink, and had to go back to his residence before the sky darkened.Lu Xiao didn't want to drink, because she didn't even have a capacity for two or two, and she only drank a glass when she had to go out.

Life is short, twenty is a hurdle to say whether it is big or small, but now that Lu Xiao has no relatives by her side, it will not be easy after all.Ning Huai tried his best to make up for this shortcoming. He used to set up banquets in the Yuejiang Tower, but today he invited the chef over with great fanfare and sent a whole box of congratulatory gifts. Let Lu Xiao not be so lonely.

"Ah Xiao, not only today, but every day in the future, you will have a great time!"

Ning Huai pondered for a long time, bestowing on him the word happy, which is also an unspeakable longing in his heart.

The brocade robe blocked the unintentional gust of wind, and Lu Xiao accepted the blessing very seriously.

In the late autumn night, the dew is not yet thick, and the courtyard is full of steps and leaves are empty.

In the old days, when I was young, I didn't know worries, but now I just want to travel freely.
