Tianhuang nobleman

Jiang Deqing took a sip of the teacup and nodded, "That's all right. He will come looking for you in a day or two. Be smart and don't talk too much. It's too late, in case he notices something. It’s not good, you know the prince’s temper, everything must be done perfectly, if something goes wrong, Master, I will not be able to explain it.”

"Master, don't worry about it, don't say that there will be no mistakes, so what if Cen Chaoge sees something? This is his only chance to go back to Lingnan. Even if he knows that the prince has set him up, he still has to take advantage of it." Yes." Xixiang thought of Cen Chaoge's expression when he heard that he said he wanted to find a few people to accompany him back to Lingnan, and he felt amused, "Master doesn't know, he wants to fly back with his wings now, this matter can't escape."

Jiang Deqing hated that iron could not be made into steel: "Who told you that the surname is Cen? Let me ask you, why did the crown prince spend so much effort to let you do this play?"

Xixiang was stunned for a moment and said in a daze: "For...of course it is for the son to submit obediently..."

"That's right, if the crown prince knows that this matter was arranged by our crown prince and not planned by the Cen himself, then maybe the crown prince will not blame the surname Cen, but will hate the crown prince for beating the mandarin duck!" Jiang Deqing shook his head, " You are in your thirties now, and you are still responsible for such a big stall in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. How come you are still the same as when you were a child, and you can’t think of it if you don’t mention it for a while. If you don’t mention it for a while, you will never think about it. There will always be accidents..."

Xixiang smiled and said, "Isn't Master always teaching me? With Master around, I will never fall on that 'shortness'."

Jiang Deqing couldn't help laughing, waved his hands and said: "Come on, you are more flattering than a teacher now, that's enough, I have to go back to the mansion to promise the prince, so I don't need to say more about the following things, right? "

Jiang Deqing got up, Xixiang promised to come forward to help him, Jiang Deqing patted his hand and shook his head and said: "I will go out through the back door, you don't want to see it, beware of people seeing it, if the prince is not worried, I won't worry about it at all." I wouldn't go this trip..."

Xixiang had no choice but to nod in agreement.

In the prince's mansion, Qi Xiao nodded and smiled after listening to Jiang Deqing's explanation: "Xixiang is useful. Although he has been recognized by the emperor as the chief executive, he has not changed his mind. He still respects you. I think he has a conscience. Remember the friendship you had with him when he was a child."

"Hey, he doesn't remember the old slave's affection. When Xixiang was young, something happened in his family. He was implicated and entered the palace. He was originally a helper in the small kitchen of Fenghua Palace. He was bullied by the cooks here, like a little frozen cat..." Jiang Deqing said while packing up the book case, and said slowly, "It is also because he has a great blessing in his life. It just so happened that Empress Xiaoxian was going to cook for the late emperor himself. Cooking rice porridge, Xixiang fell asleep while burning the fire inside. The cooks forgot to throw him out, and it happened that Empress Xiaoxian saw him. He was only about ten years old, and he was as thin as a chicken. In the winter, he only wore clothes I put on a layer of jacket, and my ten fingers are as cold as radishes..."

"Empress Xiaoxian's heart is kind and generous, so I can't stand it anymore. She didn't say anything at the time. When she came to Chengqian Palace to deliver porridge to the emperor, she called me over, and someone gave me an ingot of gold, saying that there is such a child. I must take care of him, and don’t let him be tortured again..." Jiang Deqing sighed when he mentioned the events of Emperor Wu's reign, and said slowly, "Empress Xiaoxian is really a merciful Bodhisattva, knowing that if she bullies Xixiang immediately I’m afraid that Xixiang’s life in the palace will be even more difficult in the future. He didn’t say anything on the surface, but secretly arranged for this little thing to be my apprentice. In the honeypot, the person that Empress Xiaoxian personally confessed to, how dare I ask him to do anything, in my place... the rest of the refreshments in the Qianqing Palace can support him to death, but he has become fat in half a year, Empress Xiaoxian It’s good to just say it straight after seeing it, alas, Your Highness sees that Xixiang is now fat like a dog, and this body fat was only raised at that time..."

On the imperial concubine's couch, Qi Xiao leaned on the soft pillow and listened quietly with a book. He had heard these words more than once. Qi Xiao was the most annoying chatterer, but as long as it was about Empress Xiaoxian and Emperor Wu, how much would Jiang Deqing say? He was willing to listen to it every time. Qi Xiao lost his parents in his infancy, and his impression of his parents gradually became clear through Jiang Deqing's repeated repetitions over the years.

"Later... then the world changed. The new emperor dismissed me as the head of the House of Internal Affairs. Princess Dunsu let me serve His Highness with peace of mind. At that time, I was afraid that Xixiang would be implicated, so I sent him to my senior brother early. He went away and no longer interacted with him in front of people. It is because of his good fortune that after all these years, he has become the chief executive, haha... Fortunately, he is a conscientious person who always remembers the great kindness of Empress Xiaoxian De, I still remember Empress Xiaoxian... When Empress Xiaoxian was gone, Xixiang didn't dare to cry during the day, but at night, he went back to his room and cried under the quilt, shaking all over. His Highness didn't know, when he came to see me , and secretly glanced at His Highness, came in and kowtowed to His Highness's little bed, gritted his teeth with tears in his eyes, and swore that he would repay the kindness of Empress Xiaoxian to His Highness..." Jiang Deqing sighed leisurely, "It's a pity... At that time, Your Highness, you were in the Palace of the Eldest Princess Dunsu, and you were being held by the Eldest Princess. Xixiang didn't know it, and kowtowed to your empty bed curtain. After half an hour of tossing, the servant arrived Now I am not willing to tell him, because I am afraid that the child's heart will be cold..."

Qi Xiao finally couldn't hold back his laughter, Jiang Deqing talked to himself for a long time, and when he saw Qi Xiao smiled, he laughed too: "Your Highness, it's getting late, reading too many books under the lamp hurts your eyes, please settle down sooner." .”

Qi Xiao shook his head, sat up after a pause and said, "There is one more thing you can do in two days..."

Jiang Deqing approached, bowed his body and listened to his ear, he was dumbfounded after hearing this: "Your Highness, you... really killed your son..."

"Don't be cruel, how can you subdue him." Qi Xiao lay back on the couch, and said in a low voice with a smile, "The two of them must really break up their friendship."

Jiang Deqing was speechless secretly, and said with a dry laugh: "Well, the rich and expensive body of the son is not something that Cen Chaoge and the bastard can be contaminated with."

"That's not what you said... It wasn't me who beat the mandarin ducks, it was Cen Chaoge who couldn't stand it on his own, if he clenched his teeth and refused to leave, I might..." Qi Xiao leaned on the soft pillow and smiled contemptuously, "Besides, I Even if we don't give him this way, Cen Chaoge won't stick to Bairen for the rest of his life, he doesn't have that responsibility in his bones."

Jiang Deqing quickly agreed: "Yes, in fact, the man surnamed Cen is a rich man, and he is used to domineering in his own house. He thinks this is the case everywhere in the world, so he shows timidity when he goes out? How can he be like that? Like His Highness, he has the ability to protect his son well."

Qi Xiao laughed at himself when he heard the words: "You don't have to say that this is lenient to me, this time it is true that I took the love, but so what?" Qi Xiao got up and asked Jiang Deqing to take off his regular clothes, and said calmly as he walked into the room , "It's not me who's wrong, it's this world where the weak prey on the strong..."
