Tianhuang nobleman

The two of them were half asleep and half awake on the bed, and they didn't get up until Chen Shi. The servants brought by Qi Xiao turned their backs on guests and took over the job of serving the two of them to wash. After packing up, I went into the house to serve breakfast.

Yesterday everyone had just experienced the majesty of His Highness the Prince, so they were extraordinarily considerate in serving them at this moment, lest Qi Xiao suddenly throw the spoon and overturn the table if something unsatisfactory happened to them, and kill them all by the way.

In fact, Qi Xiao was in a good mood, and the breakfast was to his liking, he didn't want to offend anyone, after breakfast Qi Xiao cleaned his hands, and sat in the main hall with Bai Ren to drink tea slowly.

Qi Xiao glanced at the living room, but the room became more relaxed overnight. The pots of camellia beside the smoker were just in bloom. With the heat of the smoker, the whole room could smell the faint fragrance of flowers. The decorations and toys in the room They also changed a batch, Qi Xiao took a cursory glance and nodded inwardly, barely enough to catch his eye.

Qi Xiao took the celadon teacup with cracked patterns handed over by the maid, took a sip of the tea, glanced at the dozen or so stewards standing in the hall, turned his head and smiled at Bai Ren: "My lord, you are too young after all, and there is no one in the mansion The woman in charge is easy to suffer from when the Gu Wang first came out to set up the mansion. Gu is an outsider, but on the one hand, I can't bear you to follow the old path of the Gu Wang, and on the other hand, I don't want to be wronged after Princess Roujia enters Beijing in the next year, so I overstepped the rules yesterday. Say a few more words, the prince won't blame the lonely king for taking too much care, right?"

Bai Ren hurriedly shook his head: "The prince is serious, how could it be?"

"That's good." Qi Xiao put the teacup on the table, looked at the stewards in the room and smiled softly, "From now on... I'll come to your side when I'm alone, and if there's anyone who can't stand alone, We still have to deal with one or two."

Bai Ren instantly understood what Qi Xiao meant, that he wanted to make a bad face for himself, and by the way reminded everyone to be vigilant at all times, Bai Ren almost laughed, but his face was still respectful: "I can't ask for it, but it's just too hard, Your Highness. "

Qi Xiao raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It's not hard."

Qi Xiao got up, his maids hurriedly approached him and put on a cloak for him, Qi Xiao turned his head and smiled faintly at the old butler with a white blade: "There are those slaves who bully the master...the butler don't have to be embarrassed, there are only a few villages There is a shortage of people, just give it to Gu, if you are not afraid of death, just come..."

Everyone in the room was covered in cold sweat when they heard the words, but Qi Xiao still had a smile on his face, and went with the stove in his hands.

Half an hour later, when we arrived at the Prince's Mansion, Qi Xiao had just got off the carriage and Jiang Deqing came up to meet him, hurriedly said: "Your Highness, yesterday...Yesterday Shen Xin had a drink with the others, and after drinking, she accidentally...stumbled and fell into the blue wave pool. "

Qi Xiao frowned slightly: "Can it be saved?"

Jiang Deqing finished the play for ten minutes, showing fear, and said in a low voice: "No... Bibo Pond is frozen, fell into the ice hole, how can I save it? When it is fished up again... I lost my temper."

Qi Xiao nodded and walked in, slowly said: "Send someone into the palace to tell me, after all, it is the person my father gave me, so I have to make it clear."

Jiang Deqing repeatedly agreed, and everyone went all the way into Qi Xiao's inner study, and Qi Xiao smiled lightly after retreating from the maid: "Huo Rong is quick to strike."

Jiang Deqing nodded and smiled: "That's right, he was the one who drank with Shen Xin all night yesterday, and then he killed Shen Xin quietly for some reason. His Highness and himself have already been picked out."

Qi Xiao nodded, so this time the matter was settled.

"Your Highness..." Jiang Deqing said again, "Just now I saw a sedan chair followed by the back door of His Highness's car, that is..."

Qi Xiao sneered: "It's okay, find an empty house and let her live first, don't short her for food and clothing, after a year or so, when everyone forgets, just marry her."

Jiang Deqing agreed, thought for a while and said: "Your Highness...Although His Highness has a few concubines like this on the surface, they haven't married after all. These days, if they are with the prince like this, what if..."

Qi Xiao raised his eyebrows and smiled: "What if?"

"Your Highness atones." Jiang Deqing bowed slightly, "In case the emperor finds out...how does Your Highness plan to deal with it?"

Qi Xiao shook his head and smiled: "Do you really think you can hide these things from him? Maybe you can hide them now, but after a while...he will always know."

Jiang Deqing frowned: "Aren't you worried, Your Highness?"

"What are you worried about?" Qi Xiao laughed first, "What do you think he will do? Call me to beat me up, and tell me to turn my back on my evil ways and stop being stained with a hundred swords again? Hehe... I just called him Father, you Do you really think he is my father?"

Qi Xiao laughed mockingly: "If he knows, he will be even happier. What he is most worried about in the past few years is that I will marry a concubine from a powerful natal family and give birth to a son-in-law, so that I can secure the position of the crown prince... Now that I am close to Bai Ren, he only wants what he wants. You see, if someone discusses marriage in the future, he will let others expose my preference for the south wind, thereby disturbing my marriage. Hehe, he Those thoughts..."

Jiang Deqing had been holding back something in his heart for a long time, and it happened to be here today, so he couldn't help but bluntly said: "Is Your Highness really not in a hurry to discuss marriage? Your Highness is about to be crowned soon, there is a capable Yue family, yes Your Highness has nothing to lose but nothing to gain."

Qi Xiao frowned and shook his head: "No...Let's not talk about what kind of Yue family I can find because of the emperor and empress Feng, I just talk about marriage..." Qi Xiao laughed at himself and looked up at Jiang Deqing: "Grandpa , you watched me grow up, do you think I will have a heart-to-heart relationship with a woman I have never met?"

Jiang Deqing was dumb, Qi Xiao sneered: "That's it, even if I'm married, it's just an extra person to be wary of, and this person will stay in my house all the time... Forget it, just thinking about it gives me a headache .”

Jiang Deqing laughed: "Then Your Highness won't marry a wife? This...it's actually nothing. At the beginning, I was worried and guarded, but gradually I became relieved, just like His Highness treats his son. When we slept together, we had to put a dagger under the pillow, but now..."

"Shh..." Mentioning Bairen, Qi Xiao had a three-point smile on his face, "Don't mention it again, be careful to let him know."

Knowing this, Jiang Deqing gave himself a soft smile with a smile: "The old slave made a slip of the tongue."

Qi Xiao knew that Jiang Deqing was worried about him, so he comforted him with a smile: "Don't worry, I know what's in my heart, let's talk about those things."

Jiang Deqing nodded, thought for a while and then said: "Then...what if the emperor finds out about His Highness and His Royal Highness, and uses His Royal Highness to threaten His Highness?"

Qi Xiao couldn't help laughing: "Do you think the Emperor will believe that I am sincere about Bai Ren? Hehe... In his heart, I am afraid that he is more worried about Bai Ren's safety than I am."

Jiang Deqing also laughed when he heard it. Princess Dunsu also thought that Qi Xiao was joking when she found out about it. ... Jiang Deqing secretly sighed in his heart, only hoping that he was thinking too much.

Not long after the letter came back from the palace, the emperor comforted Qi Xiao a few words, only telling him not to worry about it, and ordered him to invite a group of monks to perform rituals to exorcise evil spirits, Qi Xiao was relieved, the emperor believed this It's Huo Rong's words.

Time flies, and soon it will be the end of the year. On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, Qi Xiao got up early and went to the palace to greet the emperor and empress. Qi Hua recovered from his injury, and followed the princes to stay outside Fenghua Palace early.

This is the first time Qi Hua has appeared in front of everyone since being punished by the emperor. Qi Hua is used to domineering, and his prestige is still there. Now, Bairen has a lot of things to do, and Qi Xiao can't stay idle. Qi Xiao hasn't seen Bairen for more than ten days, and he feels a little empty in his heart. Look at Bairen.

Qi Hua was still in a daze, not wanting Qi Hua to come closer and said with a smile: "Greetings to the prince, I haven't seen the prince for quite a while, brother misses me very much."

Qi Xiao raised his eyes and glanced at him, then smiled and said, "Second brother's injury is healed? It's been a hundred days, and that's not the time yet."

Qi Xiao picked up Qi Hua's sore spot and stomped on it. Qi Hua hated him so much that he forced a smile: "It's... so neat. I haven't thanked the prince yet. I heard that the prince has been very close to the prince of Lingnan recently. , I think I have explained the previous things for my younger brother, but I don’t know... the prince has already grown up a lot and no longer blames me?"

Qi Xiao smiled lightly: "Speaking of it, I have to thank my second brother. If you hadn't had some troubles with the prince that day, Gu would not have had the opportunity to take him to my place to recuperate. It's been going back and forth...Gu is in love with the prince. I'm familiar, and now I'm going to be relatives, hehe...Don't worry, second brother, the son has long forgotten the little things before."

Qi Hua put on a half-smile: "That would be the best."

Everyone was talking, Princess Dunsu also entered the palace, the emperor hurriedly ordered someone to invite Princess Dunsu in, everyone entered the hall together, and sat down in order after some complicated etiquette, the emperor looked at Princess Dunsu with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, but Miss Huang looks even better."

Princess Dunsu smiled softly, and turned to look at Empress Feng: "What kind of snacks did the empress give the emperor when she got up early, and she spoke so sweetly?"

Empress Feng smiled, and Princess Dunsu smiled: "I'm too busy with so many things this year, so I'll look good, even if it's really good, because I'm going to see the emperor and queen today, I'm so happy reason."

Princess Dunsu has always been good at socializing, and it didn't take long for the palace to become lively. Because the emperor asked about He Zichen, Princess Dunsu said: "This child knows that the emperor has praised him in this way, and he is grateful for the holy grace, and he is more motivated. Her mother Even more, I chant Buddha for the emperor every day. The whole family is grateful. I also told them, take advantage of the end of the year to tidy up the mansion well, and marry the princess next year. ,only……"

Princess Dunsu smiled and said: "It's just that his family's furniture is limited, and he can't make it very beautiful. I donated to him, and he can barely see it."

The emperor was a good man, and said with a smile: "How can I let my sister spend money, leave this matter to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, let them find a suitable house, and help buy some furniture."

Princess Dunsu was waiting for this sentence, and said with a smile: "Then I will thank the emperor for my nephew's kindness."

The emperor shook his head and smiled, it was nothing to him to spend such a small amount of money. Speaking of which, the emperor was very satisfied with this marriage. , which is already the best result.

The emperor is different from Emperor Wu. He is not so enthusiastic about expanding the territory. Compared with these things, he can secure the throne. Governing the country is what the emperor really wants. He also has self-knowledge. A general who he trusts completely, so he is very taboo to go to war. As long as Lingnan can get along with him, the emperor will not easily move this one.

Since we want to have a good marriage with Lingnan, and don't want any prince to have such a big help, it is already the best result for Princess Roujia to marry into the noble family.

Moreover, this son of the family is still quite down and out, and he can't stand up first, so he can't satisfy the emperor more.

Since Princess Dunsu returned to the court, it was the first time that she did something that was in line with the emperor's wishes. As a result, the previous quarrel between the siblings was wiped away, and they became as affectionate as before.

"By the way, prince...you can be regarded as a half-matchmaker. After the year when Princess Roujia comes to Beijing, you will help take care of the marriage." Princess Dunsu turned her head to look at Qi Xiao, and said with a smile, "It's a pity that Lingnan Wang Lingnan and Princess Lingnan are not allowed to enter the capital. Bai Ren is so young, I'm afraid he can't handle such a big event."

Qi Xiao nodded and smiled: "Naturally."

Princess Dunsu turned her head and chatted with Empress Feng again, Qi Xiao was a little absent-minded, today is the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, and it is New Year's Eve, after dealing with these people, he still has something to give Bai Ren.
